FIFTfcEN MEN PERISH. Unknowi oceau with All on Board. Mid- News has been brought to Norfolk, Va., of the loss of an unknown ship nnd her crew of fifteen in-the terrible storm of Saturday night. With her great steel bows bent and twisted by murderous Maa, two propcllcE blades gone, and steel lifeboats transformed by giant waves so that they resembled the figure "8," th^ overdue Johnston liner Noranmore, a lO.UOO-ton vessel, the largest tramp boat afloat, arrivedJn port, twenty-three days out from Liverpool, after encountering n hurricane of tremendous proportions and one that nearly sent the big ship to the bottom of the ocean. Capt. Richardson brought the first news of the loss of the bark in midocean with fifteen souls; of the almost unequaled heroism on the part of a boat’s crew from his ship iu an attempt to* save the live* of those on the siqking ship, and how in the hurricane ana darkness his own men narrowly escaped death. INITIATION WAS TOO SEVERE. Candidate Receive* Injuries While En­ tering the Royal League. Alexander Johnson of Chicago has hov­ ered between life and death for over a week as a result of tris initiation into the fraternal order of the Royal League. Johnson’s hurts were received while he was being inducted into the mysteries of the order ns demonstrated by Avon­ dale Lodge, No. 123. The seriousness of the injury became apparent only on the doctor’s examination. A blood clot form­ ed on the brain, where it is said he was struck, and for several days he was de­ lirious and weak. The injured man ob­ served the fraternal injunction of secrecy so closely that not even the firm he was employed by knew what kept him away from his work. REBELS ATTACK SUB a Garrison Re-Enforced by Marine* and the Enemy I* Repulsed. A Manila dispatch says: Gen. Santa Ana, with a force of insurgents estimat­ ed at 300, attacked the garrison at Subig. A body of marines were sent from Olqngapo to re-enforce the garrison and the Filipinos were driven back, several be­ ing killed. There were no caaualtics an the American side. A company.of the Forty-sixth volunteer infantry, together with a contingent of marines, has been sent from Manila t<r re-enforce the Snbig garrison still further. SEES THIEF FROM PULPIT. Catches a Prowler. While preaching t|>e Christmas service In St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at Mari­ nette. Wis., Bev. Dr. H. W. Schefeler saw a thief coming out of his house with his pockets stuffed full of valuables. He quickly stopped in the middle of a sen­ tence and threw off his vestments and gave chase. He caught the prowler and handed him over to the police. The thief was sentenced to six months in the pen­ itentiary. Eveuta Bhow lb* Necreelty of Eu­ gland’* Taking I an (mediate Poaeeeaion —France *nd RumUm Arc Believed Allied Againet British Purchase. ‘ Ixmdon corres|»o»dents Thursday stat­ ed that under the secret- stipuJnrion of the treaty it has been announced that Germany will take the Asiatic colonies under Purtiig^rs rule and the territory north of the Zambesi river. Also Eng­ land to take po«*e*sb>n of Drlagoa Bay. The Loknl Anxcigrr .state* that Por­ tugal has already agreed to sell Ger­ many her entire Asiatic possrtsions, com­ prising 20.000 square kilometer* aud 1,­ 000,000 inhabitants, and to Ehtgiawd her entire African, posaeiuions, comprising 2,000,000 square kilometers and 13,000,­ '000 inhabitants. Germany, however, re­ ceives some landjn Africa north of the Zambesi river, excepting a atrip* three miles wide which Cecil Rhodes requires for his projected railway from the cape to Cairo. The Loka! Anzctgcr also says that the treaty secures Delagoa Bay to Great Britain against any opposition from the powers. Germany pays 25,­ 000,000 marks to Portugal. The paper also says that in 1801 Great Britain ac­ quired the right to Delagoa Bay. It is possible now that President Kruger may declare war on Portugal and attack Dclugoa at oncr. There can be no dispute of the, fact that the possession of Delagoa Bay is go­ ing to be the beginning of interna­ tional turmoil. The London. Daily Mail •say-. "The Portuguese Government bus for a great many years owed us several million pounds sterling, which, for friend­ ly reasons, we never pressed for repay­ ment. The loose of Delagoa Bay at the present time, if only for twelve months, would indicate that they hnd not alto­ gether lust sight of the fact that one good turn deserves another. If they have lost sight of that fait then it is time wc ceased our benevolent policy in that quar­ ter.” . . * Coupled with the above n telegram from Cape Town to the Daily Mail says: "Beyond question there is a steady and continuous stream of recruits for the Transvaal passing through Delagoa Bay tUaguiaed as civilians, crews of merchant Teasels, members of continental Red Cross and other non-combatant corps. "It la suggested that Great Britain should seize u temporary port at Delagoa Bay and also the railway leading to the Transvaal. Otherwise the war is likely to be indefinitely prolonged." The Daily Mail prints a particularly hot roast on the Government for the con­ duct of the war. Sir Michael HicksBeach, chancellor of the exchequer: Lord Landsdowne. the war.mlnistet, and Com­ mander-in-chief Wolseley, nil come in for a share of the Mail’s attack. The paper says! "The reason .for British failure in South Africa is.that our men nre provid­ ed with inferior artillery; owing to HicksBeach’s skinflint policy mules and wag­ ons necessary for the transport of huge quantities of stores are not yet on the scene: owing to the blundering of either Lord landsdowne or Lord W.olseley, an army of foot soldiers have been sent out to face a defending force of mounted men in a country and a kind of warfare in which infantry, unaccompanied by large bodies of cavalry, have no chance whatever. We luiye enough examples to fill a Bine, book daily. We do not Want to swap gorses while crossing a stream, but we do want incompetent men remov­ ed from the sphere of their blunders. Either Landsdowne or Wolseley should go, and Hicks-Beach should make way for a financier able to manage the huge money affairs of the war.” The despatch of the major part of Uie Fifth division with Gen. Warreh to Na­ tal bears out the statement that Gen. Buller would continue operations in Na­ tal independent of Gen. Roberts, who will devote himself to the situation in Cape Colony. The Fifth division num­ bers 10,000 men. and of the eight bat­ talions composing it five are now en route to Buller'- camp. Gen. Warren nnd staff left 1'ieterinaritzbnrg for the front Dec. 26, and have pndmbly already arrived at Chieveley camp. It is believed here that ujK<n the arrival of the rc-enforcements1 Buller will make another attack on the Boers’ position. It is not con­ sidered llkdy that he will again attempt to force the Boers from the center, but will rather plan n flank operation, to be followed by direct assault near the bridge, aided by the 6,000 fresh troops Of the Fifth division. Winston Churchill, who has rejoined the British column nt Chieveley, sends a description of the Boers’ position, which is sufficiently discouraging from the English point of view. He says: •"The position held by the Boers is of'extraordittary strength -high hills lined with tiers of trenches and galleries ris­ ing from the bank of the almost unfordable Tugela river, with a smooth plain before it. all over which the Boers have mounted many powerful guns, dominat­ ing all iHiints of attack.

There Is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to­ gether. and curable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis­ ease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci­ ence has proven catarrh to be a constitu­ tional disease, and therefore requires con­ stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Clicny & Co.. To’.eJ< . Ohio, is Ute only constitutional cure on the marke. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaapoon-ful. It acts directly ou the blood and mucous surface of tbe system.

' While a score of happy children were on the stage in the auditorium of 8u Francis’ Catholic school rehearsing for a Cbristmas entertainment, the garmenta of one of the children came in contact with a burning gas jet. In a.n instant the flanics spread over ber. The little ones screamed and as they and the sit­ ters rushed to each other** assistance the terror of the situation appalled them and a panic followed. The fire depart­ ment hurried to the scene and the flame, were quickly extinguished^ but there re­ mained the task of taking out charred bodies and of rescuing the little ones who were lying in half-suffocated an­ guish. The dead are: Irena Freiburg, May Wavering. Mary Altboff, Bernadina Freund. Colletta Middeudorf, Mary Hickey, Wilhelmina Guttendorf, Oliva Timpt, Addie Futterer, Josephine Bohme, Margaret Warner. In the hall at the time of the calamity there wore between 500 and 600 pupils of the school and n number of children from Saint Aloysios* orphan asylum, near by. They had been invited- to • attend the dress rehearsal, which had begun early in the afternoon aud eight numbers on the program bad been given before the tragedy occurred. The ninth num­ ber was a tableau, 'The Birth of Christ.*’ and every one of the little girls, ranging from 8 to 12 years of age, who were to take part in it is cither dead or fatally burned. The girls were just preparing to take their places on the stage, when Laurens Menke, who was adjusting'her mask, came in contact with the gaa jet in the dressing room. In an instant she was envelo|M-d in flames and as she ran ■creaming among the other girls their clothing was set on fire. Tbe screams of the sisters and horrorstricken girls behind the curtains start­ ed a panic in the front part of the ball and before any of the girls whose cloth­ ing had been set ou fire had emerged from the stage . the juvenile audience was rushing'pell- well down the stairs to the street. Oscar Katbman, 0 years old, leaped from a third-story window, but suffered nothing more than a broken fin­ ger. But for the fight against the flames, made by Father Andrew and .the sister* the list of dead and injured would have been much longer. Probably tbe sad­ dest sight was .that presented by little Bernnrdiuo Freunde, who ran down the stairs with nearly all of ber clothing burned off- and threw herself into the arms of a man. crying. 'I am Bertie Freund,’’ and fell lifeless to the floor. The excitement inside the building was soon intensified by the situation without. Crowds congregated in an instant and parents soon came searching with anx­ ious eyes for their little ones. The land­ ing at the third floor was a combination of hospital and morgue. Bodies charred to a crisp were lying there, side by side with forms in width life still remained. Father Andrew was seriously burned about the\hands. Prof. Mushoh and Bisters Tbeotama, Ludwiga, Rednltha and Ephren were also badly burned in rescuing the children who ran through tbe halls and around the building, shriek­ ing nnd begging to be saved. St. Francis school is where the mem­ bers of tne congregation of St. Franri*’ Catholic Church, one of the largest and most flourishing in the city, educate their children. It is a handsome new building across the street from the Imposing church. In the rear of the church is the Bt. Francis monastery, and In the block adjoining is Bt. Francis Bolamea Col­ lege, one of the largest of its. kind in the West. AS of those institutions are lo­ cated in the northeast part of the city. CAL REED. ofCtexcs. Ginger Is the root of a kind of reed, grown both Ln the East and * West ladies and China, also largely In Mala­ bar, and to a certain extent In nearly all tropical countries; It la also to be found, though of poor quality, Ln must of our gulf states. Tbe stem or reed Is an an­ nual, and grows directly from the root every spring to the height of about three feet, with long blades or lanceolate leaves, resembling very much In style and colter our American maize or .corn. Thia reed or stalk terminates In au ob­ long scaly spike,, and from each of tbe -scales grows a little bi«e and white flower. This plant Is now cultivated tn. very great quantities In the West Indles, t'8j>qclally in the Island of Jamaica, from which place the finest and most esteemed !s Imported. Jamaica ginger Is not only cultivated to very great perfection. but the select­ ing, scraping, drying and all the neces­ sary details In- its preparation are ob­ served with tbe utmost care and nicety. Ginger Is imported Into this country either In the form of the dried roots or as a preserve in syrup and comes from Cochin China. Africa and the East or West Indies. The preserved ginger from the West Indies lx much esteemed and commands a very high price. The ginger root grows lu knotty branched pieces, in low. fenny or marshy soils, and has a pleasant aromatic odor and biting taste. There are two kinds of ginger, viz., the black and the. white. Black ginger consists of tbe inferior roots, which have Iteen steeped In boil­ ing water previous to being dried In the sun. The celor of the darkest kinds, however. Is not .black. but* more of a dirty brown or stone color. Whlte gingertloDKlsts of the roundest nnd finest roots scraped clean and then dried care­ fully without being scalded. It Is firm­ er, less fibrous and more pungent than the black, and from the fact that the finest and soundest roots are always selected, white ginger Is. ip.lepcndent .of the npnuerof its preparation, super­ ior to black, and always realizerf a much higher price In the market; but the dif­ ference of color depends wholly upon the manner of curing or preparing. For both of these kinds the tubes*or roots are allowed to ripen; that Is, they are not dug up until afte- the annual stalks are withered. The principal varieties of ginger known in commerce are, white ginger -Jamaica-. Cochin China. African. East Indian or Bengal and TclHcherl; black or dark ginger-Jamada aud Malabar. Gingers Imported Into Europe are sub­ jected to various inodes of treatment, which tend greatly to improve and pre­ serve them, for tbe finer Its quality the more susceptible Is ginger to the rav­ ages of the fly or ginger worm. These various modes of treatment are wash­ ing, brightening and bleaching, and the gingers are consequently known In the trade as "originals,” via., tbe ginger as Imported; “washed.” that which lias been cleaned in Vater slightly acidified; ’■bright.” the ginger which has^nndergone tbe preparatory course of bleach­ ing. and “bleached.” that which has received a coating or dressing of lime, etc. These latter modes of treatment of ginger until recently were carried on exclusively by cxpeits In Europe, and It Is only within the last Tow years that tbe art lias been intiodnced Into tills country. Preserved ginger as man­ ufactured here and in Europe Is dark and fibrous, but when prepared in the East or West Indies or China, the West Indies especially, from the young roots, it Is almost transparent. It is imported In jars, and should be of a bright, yellow color. Ginger-Is Inported from Jamaica In barrels of al>ont^0U-fwAxnd>i each, with actual tare allowance; from Cochin China and Malabar in cases of about 200 pounds each, also with actual tare allowance.

Another record-breaking run of the “fast mail" train of the Burlington road was mnde a few day* since. The train left Burlington. Iowa, thirty-six minutes late and arrived in Chicago on time. The distance is 206 miles, and was covered in 2*(9 minutes, including all stops. The run of eighty-three miles from Mendota to Chicago was made in seventy-six min­ utes—the best time ever made between those joints. The forty-six mile* be­ tween Mendota nnd Aurora was covered in thirty-nine minutes. Nearly all tbe way there was a heavy head wind and the train was unusually heavy. Deduct­ ing the time for mail and water, the average rate of speed of the train was about eighty miles an hour. During some spurts it is believed that a speed of ninety miles an hour waa attained. MANY DIE IN LANDSLIDE. Italian Monastery, Hotel and Villas Ar* Carried Into tbe Sea. A terrible disaster took place at Amalfi, Italy, the popular tourist resort on the gulf of Salerno. An enormous rock, up­ on which stood the Cappuccini Hotel, slid bodily into the sea with a deafening roar nnd without a moment’s warning, carrying with it rhe hotel, the old Capu­ chin monastery below, the Hotel Calerina and several villas. Many people wore buried In the debris, which crashed four vessels to the bottom of the sea, de­ stroying their crews. The mass of earth whicti slipped was about 50,000 cubic yards. It is believed that the loss of life is heavy, including a number atmonks .and the occupants of the hotel.

International Com plications^- L«w ton'* Funeral Furnished Opportunity. Four explosive iKjmba, some firearms and 300 rounds of ammunition were found in a hou>e in the center of Manila Sunday mornirtg while tbe police were looking for Recarte, the insurgent leader, who was said to have gorte to Manila in. the hope of effecting an outbreak Satur­ day by •king advantage of tlie mobil­ ization *f tbe American troop* at Gen. Lawton'* funeral. \It was learned that the plot included the throwing of bombs among the for­ eign conauls attending the ceremony in order to bring about international com­ plications. These, it seems, were to have been thrown from the Escolta’a high buildings, but the avoidance of the EacoRa by the funeral procession spoiled the plan. The populace, it is thought, had been prepared for the attempt by a rumor cir­ culated widely among the natives that Aguinald was in Manila and would per­ sonally lead the outbreak. The Ameri­ can authorities, having been advised of what was brewing, prepared for ail con­ tingencies. Capt. Morrison, who commands the troops in the most turbulent district of th? city, says he does not believe an actual upri-ing will ever occur, as the natives lack the resolution to take .the first atep*i in a movement that would en­ tail fighting at cldse quarters with the American troops. An American advance in Cavite prov­ ince, south of Manila, is expected short­ ly. Reliable re’j»orts from native spies show that there are upward of 2.0U0 or­ ganized insurgents under arms within a mile of Itnua. They are strengthening their intrenchmcnta and possess artillery.

A thousand of tbe enemy are in that vicinity and there are 000 at San Francisco de Malabon. From twelve to 100 garrison all the towns in the southern part of Cavite province and the same may be said of the towns in Batangas province. The provinces of North Camnrines and South Camarines hold quantities of hemp, which the people cannot market. As a consequence the population in that part of Luzon is suffering from lack of food. Rice now costs four time* its nor­ mal price. It is estimated that 1,000 in­ surgents are intrenched at Calamba. Re­ ports have also been received that 2,000 insurgents nre massed at Mount Arayat, having strong positions which command steep and narrow trails aud that they are prepared to roll bowlders down upon advancing troops. ’ Life along the coasts of the provinces of Cagayan and North and South Ilocos is, resuming normal conditions. The American troop's occupy the important towns and patrol the country roads. The natives implore the Americans to con­ tinue the occupation, to establish a set­ tled government and to terminate the un­ certainty, abuses and confiscations that have characterized the rule of the Tagalo revolutionists during the last eighteen m on t hs. _____________ SiONAL CORPSE MEN LOST.

A great iiiany women who are ill try everything they bear of in the way of medicine. and this experimenting with unknown drugs is a constant menace to their already impaired health. This seems to us very unwise, for there nre remedies which are no ex­ periments aud have been known years and yeani.to be doing bu'ly good. Take for instance Lydia E. Pink­ ham’s Vegetable Compound; for thirty years Its record has been <>ue un­ broken chain of success. . No medi­ cine for female ills the world has ever known has such a record for-cures. It seems so strange that some i>eople will take medicines about which they really know nothing, some of which might be, and arc, really harmful; while on the other hand it ia easily proved that over one million women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. We have published in the news­ papers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine. All this should, and does, -produce a spirit of confidence in the hearts of women which is difficult to dislodge, and when they are asked to take some­ thing else they sax, “No, we want Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com­ pound. which has been tried, and never found wanting, whose reliability is established far beyond the experi­ mental stage." We have thousands of letters like the following addressed to Mrs. Pinkham, showing that Monthly Suffering is Always Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, also Back­ ache and Bearing-down Pains. “ I suffered untold agony . every month und could get no relief until! tried your medicine; your letter of ad­ vice arid a few bottles, of Lydia E.

I had four tumors in two years. I went through treatment with doctors, but they did me no good, and I thought I would have to resort to morphine•• The doctor said that all that could help me was to have an operation and have the domb removed, but I had heard of Mrs. Pin^AwraA medicine and decided tc try it. and wrote for her advice, and after taking her Vegetable Compound the tumors were expelled and I began to get stronger right along, and am as well as ever before.

The British losses were only three men-killed and eight wounded. The general's report the occupation of the town was re­ ceived at the war office iu London: "At .3:30 o’clock Sunday morning, after a night's march, I occupied a kopje over­ looking West Colesburg. The enemy’s outposts were completely surprised. I shelled the Boers’ laager, the enemy ’re­ plying vigorously, but later being aUenced he retired northward, where he ocxnipied a hill. The Boers were also south­ east .of Coliesburg toward the'junction. Our position cuts the enemy’s line of retreat via the road bridge. A force of 1.000 Boers with two. guns is reported to be returning to Norvals Font on the Orange river. Our casualties were three killed and several wounded." Gen. French’s victory caused great sat­ isfaction and furnished the London news­ papers occasion to print more pleasing headlines than have been seen for some months. While it is* recognized French's success is not one of vital importance materially, the cheering effect of it is salutary after the depression caused by a string of British defeats. Th6 mili­ tary experts unite in praising French’s operation, dwelling'-particularly on the rapidity with which he moved nnd the fact that he did not attempt to storai un impregnable position. The success of the cavalry flanking movement is seized upon as illustrating the advantage of’a large mounted force with which to fight the Boers and which the Government been so slow to recognize. Altogether, French’s victory and the methods by which he gained it are the first good fruits of the •’eye-opener” the Boers have'feiven England, and the.hope is expressed In London, says a correspon­ dent. that the other British commanders will profit by tbe example. Gen. French is tbe one British commander who, thus far. has not received a check. lie has beaten the Boers by outflanking them re­ peatedly. This is the first time- in the South African war in which the Boera have been routed by a flank movement. The force under Gen. French is 2,000 strong, and is composed of a cavalry brigade, one or two batteries of horse ar­ tillery, some infantry, one field battery and some colonial cavalry. On the 7th of December bls forces, having m^ved out of Nauuwport, drove the Boers out of Arundel, since which time he has been maneuvering, ^hich has resulted in dis­ lodging the Boers from Colesburg. GERMAN SHIPS SENT SOUTH. Two Cruisers Sail for South Africa to "Watch British Vessels. It is announced that the German pro­ tected cruisers Condor and Schwalbe have sailed for Delagoa Bay. With the exception of the most sensational jour­ nals the German press comments sober­ ly, although with manifest irritation, up­ on the Bundesrath incident. Political cir­ cles think Great Britain is making a mis-" take in not assuming a definite aud de­ cided attitude on the. contraband ques­ tion. Regarding tbe seizure by the British cruiser Magicienne of the imperial mail steamer Bundesrath of the German East African line a high .official of th6 Ger­ man foreign office, who was interviewed by the correspondent of the Associated Press, said: "Silence must be preserved at present concerning tbe actual status of the negotiations which have been be gun with Great Britain about the matter. Appropriate steps have been taken, of which Germany must await the results. The matteL is regarded by Germany as of the utmost importance, because seri­ ously involving the rights of neutrals." It is asserted in German Government circles that the British right of search ia, questioned and thnt. iu any event, the British right to stop passengers, whether they intend to fight for'the Boers or not, is strenuously disputed, ns the vessel up­ on whieh^they were is neutral and the territory to which they were proceeding, nnrnely, Delagon Bay, is also neutral. Redress, it is asserted, will be insisted upon by Germany. CLAIMS AGAINST INDIANS. Acts of Pure “CiUscdncna" Cost Uncle Sum S3,000,000 n Year. It costs Uncle Sam nearly 55,000,000 a year for acts of pure cussedness commit­ ted by Indians against the white find Mexican settlers of the Southwest. This sum is paid under tbe Indian depredation law, passed by Congress in 1892. - Few people in the East know of this law and the amount of work it devolves upon the deportment of justice, as they have nev­ er crossed the Indian’s trail when be is on one of his periodical tantrums. But in the territories and in the State of Texas are thousands of folk who have lost relatives and property during the Indians* playful periods. To recompense them for their losses Congress passed the depredation law. Some of the claims stretch back fifty yean, when the Indian was wild and free and full of natural cussedueiu. It is all right for Lo’s friends to say thnt he is generally driven to acts of violence against the whites, but the fact remains hard and cold that there have been times innumerable when he required no extran­ eous provocation to start him on the war­ path. The nervous construction of the red man is of such a sensitive nature that it impels him to break loose about once in so often, otherwise he would be­ come so lazy and indifferent to his own importance that somebody would have to feed him or he would starve to death.

State, says that the work of the department in De­ cember was mure active and effective than was anticipated. The last fifteen days of the close fishing season, ending Dec. 15, were well observed by commer­ cial fishermen, but few violations being reported. Violations of the game law* have increased mostly from attempts of market hunters to ship' game out of the State, but most of these have been ap­ prehended and convicted, or have case# pending against them. During the.month 168 'cases were investigated, and 114 suits handled, 78 being for violation of the game laws and 30 for violations of •the fish laws. Convictions resulted tn 59 cases, and there were 4 acquittaL ami 12 dismissals, 48 cases still being in the courts. The sum of $022.30 was assessed in fines, and fish, game and fishing ap­ paratus valued nt $430.49 was seised and confiscated. ‘Reports from nearly every county iu the State,” says the warden, ‘‘confirm my statement made in Novem­ ber, that we have more game in *t >re than a year ago. This, coupled wifh a steadily growing sentiment for game pr e tcHion. makes .-the future look brighter for the lovers of the wild life of our State.” x Railroad Commissioner Otborn has it-; cently transmitted Lis first annual report to Gov. Pingree. It Includes* reports from eighty-«-:ght railroads now opera­ ting in the State with traf-k mileage of 19,211.78 miles, equal to one-nineteenth of the total mileage of the United States, or one-fifty-sixth of the total mileage ot the world. Michigan roads are as pro­ gressive as those in -any other State or country, and as well equipped", with as good service to the public. He reviews the great change in business conditions that have affected railroads, as well as other branches, until now the volume is embarrassingly large.

This is a rare chance if you need anything in these lines. frank HkDcrby, QUALITY PRICE With many people PRICE comes lx?fore QUALITY while with othqrs QUALITY comes FIRST and PRICE SECOND.

Thus .the purchaser has received the most‘possible to be obtained for the money. In the selection of goods in all departments for the present year’s trode I am endeavoring to purchase unly goods of drat quality, carefully and*j>roperly constructed from good material and well fin­ ished, ^and shall offer them to my trade at the very lowest price that a spot cash purchase and on honest and close margin of profit will per­ mit. If it is Paint, it will be paint I can guarantee. If a Carriage, one that I can warrant fully without hesitancy. If a Farm Tool, it will be one whose operation must be the equal of any made and please the purchaser or be returned. If Furniture, it must be well made from good material and well finished dbd prove itself such or be made good to the customer free of expense. We make no claim to handle goods at cost or for our health, for such claims are untrue on tbe part of dealers and are not believed by their customers, but we do claim, and ask a chance to prove it, that our ability to buy for the best price cash commands, our experience to select the most suitable goods, and the amount of sales in comparison to our expenses enables me to supply your 1IMX) needs for less dollars and cents and on better terms than any dealer In my line of goods in this section.

The rate of 20 cents- per mile was fixed long ago. when transpor­ tation was high. The member* from the Pacific slope are luckiest in the mile­ age hund-out. One of them gets >1,442 per session, or $2,884 for the term. If a member rides on railroad passes the mileage is all clear gain. Congress approprintes every year >125 per member for “stationery, postage and newspapers.” The stationery clerk opens an account with the member, crediting him with >125 at the start. He may take his choice between drawing >125 the first day of the session, or he may let his account remain open during the session, drawing from time to time such supplies of pens, ink, paper, etc., as he needs, which are charged to his account as he gets them. At tbe end of the session be signs a voucher for the unexpended bal­ ance. Whether he draws his >125 in cash-and pays for what he takes from the stationery room or keqps an open ac­ count. the member pays about one-third or one-half what other people would pay for the samp article. The allowance for "postage and news­ papers," included in tbe $125, is another relic of the old days’ when members put postage stamps on their letters and news­ papers—in which they were supposed to feei tbe public pulse—cost fancy prices. The franking privilege has changed all that, and the Congressman delights in nothing more tb^n in his ability to send tons of stuff throhgh the mails free of charge. Tbe franking privilege bas had its ups and downs. Years ago it was practically carte blnnchffc-members franked every­ thing, • but tbe privilege was so much abused that the law was repealed. Then the privilege was limited to public doc­ uments and letters to officers of the gov­ ernment on official business. Tbe last chsDge made was in 1895, when mem­ bers were authorized to send under frank any communication “on official business” to any person, provided the weight did not exceed two ounces. The weight lim­ itation is ignored by members and it ia not enforced. The Congressman determines for him­ self what constitutes "official business." At the beginning of tbe last session of Congress there came into the ‘ House postoffice one day a typewriter, boxed, bearing the frank of a Boston member of Congress. To him that wm “official business.",, Not very long ago one mem­ ber used to frank to and from his home, OOQjnllcs away, weekly, the family wash, which was laundered and returned to him under frank as "official business." An agrarian member was accustomed- to have sent in from his farm fresh sup­ plies of butter, green vegetables, etc.» Then comes the matter of clerk hire, each Congressman during the session be­ ing allowed $100 a month for this pur­ nose. There is a well-grounded suspi­ cion that in a good many cases Congress­ men have regarded the $100 monthly clerk hire as another perquisite of their own. If clerks to members drew their >100 at the disbursing office and signed the pay roll, like other employes, of course there would be no rake-off for the member. But the clerks are unknown, officially. The member signs a voucher which states that he “has pajd or agreed to pay the sum of >100 for clerk hire during the month of ----- and file* it with the disbursing clerk, who thereupon *ends the member a- draft for >100, pay­ able to bls own order. The law say* “not to exceed >100," and a few instance* are known where members have certified only $50 or so. Some members have regular clerks to whom they turn over the >100 straight. Quite a number -of bright men handle each the work of two, three or four mem­ bers, receiving from each >40 or $50 a month—the member making suitable dis­ position M the balance of the >100. A resolution was offered in the last Con­ gress to put the clerks to members on tne pay roll, letting them draw their own money. Of course it was promptly stifled. Salary, stationery allowances and clerk hire give the member $6,325 a year, to which must be added the variable sum received for mileage.

Senator Beveridge in the Senate Tues­ day made his long anticipated mgiden speech, sustaining the ndminiatratiou in its Philippine policy. Senator Beveridge opened his speech by the statement that the times call for candor. He said the Philippines are "territory belonging tu the United States" forever. Tbe speaker ar­ gued that if it proves a mistake to hold the territory, "the error can be corrected when we will; every other nation stands ready to relieve us.” He went on to ar­ gue that the Pacific is vur ocenu; that China is our national customer and the Philippines is the door of all the east. With a long prelude as to the renourcea of the islands, the climate, character of the people and Aguinaldo, iu which ha said they were “a barbaric race modified by three centuries of contact with' :’, de­ cadent race,” the speaker began hi/ a*\ gumvnts on "true military policy referred to,tbe proposed (cessation of ito»i tllities as "a fulse peace which will b*i tray us; a sham truce that will curo^ us." Then he argued that in the efforts to secure peace the mistake has been kindness on the part of this nation. “Ntf,^ he said, "friendly methods have been thoroughly tried only to make peace mor* difficult. There is not now, nor never was, any possible course bnt ceaseless operations in the field and loyal, support In the beginning of his address he ha$ referred to tbe unlimited resource* of the islands and cited the fact that "Spain'* export and import with the islands vcloped was $12,175,549 annually.” He continued with the statement that the people were indolent and*offered no ••umpctition with the labor of the United States. Mr. Beveridge next branched .■ttj into suggestion* as to tbe “plan of gov« ernment needed In the Philippines; should be simple and strong, for iu deal­ ing with the Filipino* we deal with chil­ dren." He recon.mended a 'Thilippin® civil service, with promotion for. eft ciency."

Fisht Over the Public Land*. At Fort Worth, Texas, the convention of the National Live Stock Association considered a resolution that all public lands adapted to grazing purposes be made subject to leaae by stockmen who are citizens of the States wherein the lands lie.

ILLINOIS MAKES BEST SHOWING. Amendment to the Constitution. May Report* of the Growth of the United One result of the Roberts .case is the determination'of certain Congressmen to press the passage of uniform .Adarriage and divorce laws in the several States. Of course, a constitutional amendment-!■ accessary and about a dozen Congress­ men and several Senators have introduc­ ed resolutions proposing to submit the subjeet-to the State Legislatures. In the House the judiciary committee has charge of the matter and its chairman, Ray of New York, is interesting himself person­ ally to obtain a favorable report at this session. "One of the first bills 1 introduced when I came to Congress some years ago," said Chairman Ra$, “was one pro­ posing an amendment to the constitution, for uniform marriage and divorce laws. It is now possible for a man to have four or five lawful wives in as many States. That is approaching pretty closely to legalized polygamy. Each one wosid be his only lawful wife in the State in which he married her. The police of New York could uot topch the man iu Pennsylvania, etc., and he could ruti bis marriage trust with impunity. "The Roberts case has had the effect of not only attracting attention anew to the polygamous. practices of the Mor­ mons in Utah, but of directing notice to those anomalies of our marriage and di­ vorce laws. 1 believe in striking while the iron is hot and I think the agitation over Roberts will result in a favorable report from this committee on one of the resolutions and in its adoption by the House. "We would have had a favorable re­ port on .this subject two Congresses ago, but one of the Southern members de­ manded that the constitutional amend­ ment include a prohibition of miscegena­ tion. or mixed marriages between black and whites. His State bad a law on this point, and be did not want a United Stales law that would permit such mar­ riages in contravention of the State reg­ ulation.” . The third day’s session of the United Mine Workers of America convened at Indianapolis, with John Mitchell, presi­ dent, in the chair. There were fully 700 delegates present. Chairman P. J. Kee­ nan of the credentials committee submit­ ted his report. The showing of the vari­ ous States was larger than expected. The Indiana districts reported many in­ creases. Pratt City, Ala., has the larg­ est local, with over 1,380. paid-up mem­ bers. Streator, Ill., has a local with over 1.100 members. Illinois made the best showing. Secretary W. D. Ryan of the State organization is also treasurer of his organization, which now has $112,000 cash on band. During 1800 he raised over $300,000, and more than $250,000 was raised by Illinois in 1808. Ryan’s organization has 35,000 members. Presi­ dent Mitchell's report touched many sub­ jects. including the refusal of th£ In­ diana block operators to sign the Pitts­ burg agreement, the advance of mining rates, the eight-hour question, thi* South­ western strike, and Federal injunctions. At the last, annual convention the sec­ retary's report showed an average paidup membership of approximately 33,000, the largest number being in the month of December, at which time there were 54,­ 771 memlM*rs, in 628 local unions. At the present time there are 031 local unions, with a total membership paid up of 91,­ 010. During 1899 387 new locals, were organized, the membership increasing more than in any other year in the his­ tory of the order. The finances are in fine shape, a balance of $40,000 being on hand. < ' SEPARATE SCHOOLS. Resolution Wfflch Contemplates Their Eatabliahmcnt in Chicago. A resolution looking toward separate schools for boys and girls from the fourth grade up through the high schools will be submitted to the Chicago Board of Edu­ cation soon. Trustee bchwab. who is at work on the matter, says: "The inherited traits and home training of many of the boys in our cosmopolitan schools are not such as to make them desirable compan­ ions for girls. The language you may hear on any of our streets from boys bears this out.” CUBAN CENSUS la Completed and There la a Popula­ tion of 1,200,000. C. H. Olmstead, the assistant director of the Cuban census, with four statisti­ cians and supervisory who had been work­ ing for the last several months in Cuba, are now in New Y’ork. They brought with’ them twenty-four’boxes of records, all of which were sent to Washington. Manuel Rasco, who was the’supervisor of Havana province, did not accompany his colleagues to Washington. He said that 1,550 enumerators had been appointed, all of whom, were Cubans. Many women were allowed to act as enumerators, and Scnor Rasco said that they were much better than the men. The result of the work indicates that the Spanish census taken in 1887 will probably have to be reduced by about 400,600. Thus the present population of Cuba wiU be about 1.200,000. The cost to the Government of taking the census will be between $300,000 and $400,00. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION HALL, PHILADELPHIA. The main Philadelphia exposition building, in which the Republican national convention of 1000 will be held, is built of structural steel and bncx. with plas­ ter facing and staff ornamentations. It will, at a comparatively small cost, be converted into a convention hall that will seat 18,000 persons. The arcades and connecting buildings are mostly of wood, with brick walls, so that the three connected buildings make one ma rdmoth exhibition hall of 1,000 feet in length by 400 feet in width. The entire area of the main building is 167,200 square feet. It is divided into six sections, which can be readily converted iota one vast auditorium, the length of which, instead of extending north and south, as at present, will, with the side wall taken oct and the ball enlarged, extend east TAILORS WILL COMBINE.

It does not appear that they made the show of resistance’ which they had been expected to make, or that they were on the alert, ns, presumably, they would have been in case of a stubborn purpose to resist to the utmost the cross­ ing of the Tugela. While this advance carries the British forces past- one more obstacle on the way. to 1-adysmitb it also enables the Boers to put themselves in a position much stronger strategically. So long as they held the Tugela they were foreqd to stretch out. their line along the river for many miles. Their force was thus not only weakened, but exposed to flank attacks. It seems likely that be­ fore giving up this position they had pre; pared themselves to make a much more effective renistanix- under more favora­ ble conditions. By •conrtuitrating at a point nearer Ladysmith* they would have not only the advantages of a choice of positions in n familiar country, but of having their enemy in a place from which it would be extremely difficult to make an orderly retreat. A watchful army free to take its choice of positions for re­ sisting an invading Jorce has a signal ad­ vantage over an advancing army which, whatever path it chooses, is bound down to' the necessity of reaching n definite known objective—in this case Ladysmith. The Boers, apparently are not likely to be outflanked easily in this region. On the other hand, should they succeed in. repulsing Buller, they could make his p<> sition on their own side of a stream which is unfordable save at a few points ex­ tremely awkward. ’Another correspondent says that Gen. Buller himself has made his headquar­ ters iu a farm house belonging to Martinius Pretorius, and located supposedly in the neighborhood of Spearman's farm, lie issued an address to his men telling them that they wore gohig to relieve their comrades nr Ladysmith and that there could be no turning back. It is not ex­ actly known the number of troops with Buller, as about 5,000 of his men remain unaccounted for. However, it is believ­ ed that his total force now amounts to 30,000 men, with eight field batteries, divided into three or fou- brigadp*. Gen. Warren, with about 8.000 men. is reported to bo well lodged five miles hack from the river nt Sprocukop. He has thrown n few shells at the Boers, but has received no reply, the Boers being ap­ parently too busy intrenching and prepar­ ing to give Warren a warm time when he attempts the advance in the direction of Ladysmith.* Gen.

HER EYELIDS SAVED HER. Burial Alive. ■ Mrs. Christina Hirth of East St. I.nuis narrowly escaped burial alive. She had been ill three umuYbs and Monday morn­ ing of last week apparently expired, at the vounly hospital. The doctor came and felt her pulse and applied other tests and pronounced her dead. The county undertaker was called, the body was tak­ en to the dead room a fid laid out ou a cooling board. Cloths saturated with bleaching fluid were placed over the face and the body. The shroud and clothing pared. .While busy with his preparations to­ ward embalming, the undertaker was startled by a noise proceeding from the direction of the corpse.. He glanced hastily, but there was no motion in the white-sheeted figure. , When he came to remove the sheet from tne face, however, he noticed that one <»f the weights had fallen off an eyelid, hi replacing it he thought that he detected a slight quiver Ij the eyelids, but. attributing it to hi« imagination, went about his preparations.

There was no heart motion or breathing that ho could detect, and he wns about to Inject the fluid when again be noticed the quiver, and then, to be thoroughly satisfied, he applied the most powerful test of life known to un­ dertakers. Then* was an unmistakable' though faint indication of life in response. Assistance was summoned, the partial­ ly embalmed woman removed to a bed and restoratives were applied by the doc­ tors. Hhe was able, after several hours, to speak in a whisper and move her mus­ cles, but the weakness caused by her ill­ ness and the terrible ordeal through which she had passed told heavily upon her, and she could make no statement as to her experiences while in a trance.

Eureka I Harness Oil Nasal CATARRH Preparatory to moving into onr new atore, we want to close out all of the above goods now in stock, and in order to do so will cut the price on them to cost, and in many cases even below. This is a rare chance if you need anything in these lines. J frank me Derby, 8rxtrtoaiKl$l»CT. ®il® FURNITURE Six years ago last October I opened the furniture department of my business. The price of furniture at retail dropped 25 per cent in 30 days. I determined my customers should buy furniture as cheaply as the same could be bought anywhere. I preferred to sell ten thous­ and dollars worth at a reasonable profit and thus enable me to keep fresh, late styles, up-to-date stock, rather than a leas' quantity at double the profit and then be selling a lot of back-numlxy, dirty, oldstyle goods. My sales, doubling as they have nearly every year, con­ vinces me that my customers agree with me. I have just returned from the Great Furniture Exposition at Grand Rapids, where I secured the best bargains cash could command. I bought only well-made goods, no trash, and I purpose to name a price on them so iow that no other dealer can cut it a penny and give you honestly made goods. I thank my customers for their liberal patronage and shall express my appre­ ciation by marking goods close for 1900. r I * For Business Or Pleasure When yon want a good livery rig, staunch and true, call on us ... .

There is an easy way of cutting glass bottles that housekeeper* should snow about. Almost everyone has large bottles that when cut may be used in many ways, as for jelly tum­ blers, cane or even for vases for flowers with foliage. To do It, tie a wrapping cord two or three time* around the bottle a little below where you want to cut it. Saturate the cord thoroughly with alcohol, but do not let the liquid run down on the bottle. Then set it on fire, and when the blaze has almost gone out, put a few drops water on the cord, ana the glass will be cut off as clean as if a diamond point had been used.

There gentlemen, be added, were l»oth now well known to himself, and bad been so for many years: the one being no other than the very valorous Captain Manly, who had spread such terror and deVaitofion along the coast* of England during the last war. The other, he said, he also well knew to be Mr. John Montgomery id the city of Philadelphia, of great at­ tainments -and of the highest respecta­ bility. Tnder these circumstances he sub­ mitted that ho could not surrender per­ sons whom he knew of lus own knowl­ edge to be Captain Manly and Mr. Mont­ gomery, when demanded under the titles, us they now were, of the denor, Hernan­ do de Kibadera and M. de Hautville; at the same thne he invited the Spanish offi­ cers below to communicate further on so delicate n question, stating that in al! probability a reference to the United States consul at Tampico would obviate all difficulty in. the premises, nnd cither establish tlw innocence or lead to the surrender of the fugitives. The deck was left therefore to the offi­ cers <»f the watch and crew; the rowers in the Spanish boat, like their superiors, were Mxm engaged in discussing the deli­ cacies. edible and potable, which were set before them, in the between decks, while the anchor of the Sea King was tripped and aecnted nt her bow*, and she herself was steadily moving out to sea­ ward at the rate of some two or three knots an hour, as her kedges were cur­ ried out alternately, each a quarter of a luHc beyond the Inst, and the good ship heaved up to them succeasively by the ex­ ertions of the crew, who walked around with the capstan barn gallantly, and with a right good will, but without cheering dr singing as they went. If tbe Spaniards perceived the motion, suspecting nothing, and being aware that the sea breexe had ceased awl the land wind not as yet commenced blowirfg, they were easily satisfied by the reply that the Sea King was merely shifting her In-rth. as that in which she lay had be­ come inconvenient; nnd. ns, very shortly after, the ship became stationary once more, having dropped her anchor at a full mile beyond the longest range of the batteries, they thought no pore of it. un­ til. on coming upon deck toward even­ ing. with a view to return ashore, they found them'selves at three miles distance from the rally port of the batteries at the mole head. and. though all epar^sies were still extended to them, could doubt no longer that they had been most egreg­ iously outwitted. So soon as his unwelcome guests had left the Sen King the whole crew of that vessel, after having he’d mime conversa­ tion among themselves forward, came aft in a laxly to I he quarter deck, on wh’qjh Frederick Atbericy and Evan Mor­ ton. the second in command, were stand­ ing, surrounded by their junior officers.

News of IKe Ravers® WTFFTH tgan-recently completed by jhr State England was startled Friday morning to learn that Gen. Warren bad abandoned Spiou Kop. the position he had occupied Tuesday night. Tbe news came m a dis­ patch from Gen. Buller to the Secretary ot State tor War and waa posted at the war office. , ■ Ixmdon was shocked, throngh and through, by the announcement. The shock was the greater because of the prediction of Buller Thursday which lift­ ed British hope. Extra papers carried after the bulletin *as [XMted at the war office. Knots of men gathered •• the 'street.and discussed the disaster. In an hour Gen. Warrep fell from a position as England’s idol to one of disgrace, though condition of attaint, being a vast |mpro-ement over that prevailing one year ago.

Thu average daily wages of this army •>tj is largely in excess of tbe average show or by last* year’s canvass. The increase id attributed to tbe fact' that tbe entire) number canvassed this year were employ-* ed, and the further fact that hi many} instances there had been a decided in-i crease in the amount paid. . many were inclined to await farther news before condemning him. Crowds locked to the war office for further news of tbe reverse*. • Military men find a clue as to the cans? of Warren's reverse io Buller’s dispatch of Wednesday night. He said then that Warren was bolding the kop under a most annoying shell fire and that bis losses were severe. Thtk, taken In con­ nection with Warren’s easy, occupation of the place, lends to the belief that the Boers led the English into a death trap. Artillery was probably placed on the sur­ rounding k'»pjes with which tbe Boers poured a constant and galling fire into Warren’s garrison on the kop all day Wednesday, making it so hot for the English that they had to retire under cover of darkness. High military offi­ cials refused to discuss the reverse until full details were learned, but they ad­ mitted that it' might again halt the Natal campaign. . The situation in the neighborhood of the armies other thau around I^tdynuith is unchanged, but a forward movement by Gen. French is daily expected. The heat is reported as terrific, the thermome­ ter registering 107 degrees in tbe shade. A letter received hi I-omlrm from Pre­ toria gives tbFtexl of a complaint which President Kruger made to President Steyu regarding the want of co-opera­ tion on the part of the Free Staters at Modder river and also President Sleyn’s addnftui to the Free State troops. Mr. Kruger said that he bad learned with re­ gret that ."only about 1,000 men of the Free State fought in the last battle snd that many others, n^nained in their camps while their brothers resisted and even de­ feated their enemy.” These statements upp ur to give official confirmation to the report* of disagreements betwee lies. • Chiuu'has six smokeh-ss powder manu­ Tangier is a city without.vehicles.

The price of furniture at retail dropped 25 per cent in 30 daya. I determined my customers should buy furniture as cheaply as tbe same could be bought anywhere. I preferred to sell ten thous­ and dollars worth at a reasonable prolit and thus enable' me to keep fresh, late styles, up-to-date stock, rather than a less quantity at double the profit and then be selling a lot of back-number, dirty, oldstyle goods. My sales, doubling as they have nearly every year, con­ vinces me that my customers agree with me. I have just returned from the Great Furniture Exposition at Grund Rapids, where I secured the best bargains cash could command. I bought only well-made goods, no trash, and I purpose to name a price on them so low that no other dealer can cut it a penny and give you honestly made goods. I thank my customers for their liberal patronage and shall express my appre­ ciation by marking goods close for 1900. 9 I For Business Or Pleasure Miss Julia Barry left, for Kalamazoo Wednesday, where she lias been engaged to work in a private family.

Buller 'n a dispatch Ute Tuesday night said was meditated. AU night long foe war office in London was brilliantly lit up and 'many ofBdai* were on hand awaiting news of the daring step that Buller had ordered.. Early morn­ ing brought groups of people to the war office, and as the day advanced they came in crowd*. Not a line, however, came from Buller. Noon went by and stjll nothing came, aud anxiety on aU sides increased. Gen. Buller’s dispatch announcing that Warren jvas to make a night' attack-wlth the bayonet, one of tbe most hazardous moves of modern warfare, was taken to indicate that his flanking movement which Warren undertook, had signally failed. Buller apparently had been forc­ ed to return to tbe tactics which have thus for proved unsuccessful—that Is a frontal attack on a fortified enemy. . Tbe only change was that the attack was to be made at night. Methuen tried this at Magersfonteio. but tbe Boer* were awake and it resulted in fearful losses in the Highland brigade, which bad been sent to do the work. Remembering this, it can easily.be seen with what fear and anxiety the English people awaited the result of Buller’s movements. According to official dispatches received from the'Uoer laager near Colenso 30;UUO British made a simultaneous attack Sat­ urday on several positions on the Tugela river, with the object of forcing the re­ lief of Ladysmith. A terrific battle en­ sued, nnd fighting continued for sixty hours. A frightful bombardment by for­ ty British cannon opened the engage- F? GENEKAI. BVM.GR. menL Then came grand infantry attack* by the force under Gens. Buller and War­ ren, is ho were three times repulsed, with great losses. The Boers admit that the casualties resulting from the bombard­ ment were heavy aud the terrible effect* of the lyddite are several times mention­ ed, Confmandant Viljoen ami two burgh­ ers being knocked senseless by the effects uf one shell. Gen. Botha receives the credit of having checked Warren's ad­ vance. and President Steyn is said to have been under fire kn the foremost ranks of the Free Staters. Gen. White’s headquarters at'Ladysmith, according to the statement telegraphed from the Boer camp, were demolished by shell fire. Most of the way to Ladysmith is up hill, and every kopje and ridge on the ex­ tended line of attack has been occupied i by the burghc; u. Driven from one posi­ tion, they have fallen back, on another already fortified with breastworks and trenches. Tbe campaign has hitherto been chiefly a contest of spade and pick against bayonet, with the odds in favor of the former. Since Gen. Buller ordered a simultaneous advance of his entire force* the various divisions have been moving along a front of twenty-sir miles. To the extreme left, Lord Dundonald's cavalry has been working its way slowly round Spion kop with the evident inten­ tion of turning the Boers’ position. The ground occupied by the burghers has lent itself naturally to defense, nnd this ad vantage has been greatly increased by numerous trenches and covered ways, with formidable stretches of’barbed win iu front. Tbe British had nc other wa >>f taking these-works but by frontal a; dock* of stone instead of thuber. nouncing eulogies on the late Representa­ tive Danford of Ohio.

The Illinois anti-trust law of 18!)3 wa* declared unconstitutional by Judge Kohlsaat in the (Jolted States Circuit Court at ‘Chicago. Because «f. the section which exempts from its provisions the agriculturist and stock raiser, the epurt held that the statute is tainted with class and special legislation, and is in contra­ vention of both the Federal and State constitutions. In the decision Judge Kohlsaat refused to confine his fiudihg 'to the clause in question, but put the bun on the entire act. The anti trust statute which is thus de­ clared -void by the Federal court is the law'which was euacted in 181)3. The Su­ preme Court of the State has never pass­ ed upon its constitutionality.

The other dfty John Lewis Howard, the-15-year-old son, who is dying with consumption, sent for the officer* and to them confessed that he and his mother, Mrs. Amfludu How­ ard, did the killing. He described how his mother arranged the table so that his father would sit with his back to the window while eating; how he placed a Winchester on the outside of the house before the father came in; how the shoot­ ing was done, etc. Upon this confession Mrs. Howard was •arrested by Deputy Sheriff Charles Cecil.

Up to Dec. 20 the wea ther hud been so mild that but little gravel had been gut out, although after that date this impediment of lumpernture was removed. The thermometer dropped to 40 degrees below zero and ranged a> low as 57. There is now a good showing on the dumps. The Dawson banks esti­ mate that $21,090,000. will be taken out this season. From 2,000 to 3.0U0 Daw­ sonites are arranging to leave on the first boats down the river in the spring for the Nome field. The Daw’sou tire de­ stroyed only eight buildings, occupying half a block. As the buildings were all flinuily constructed and lined with cotton, it is considered surprising that the tire was confined to so few buildings.

Stephenson �The first chapter of tbe war In South A tries is closed and it closed in gloomy disaster for Great Britain. In spite of the bravery of her troops and th- scion­ tide training ot ber. generals, she ha* ex.perirnced such a scries of defeats al the bands of the Boers that for tbe time be­ ing all Important operations arc suspend­ ed. with the objects of the campaign thus ended, unattained. Never before, per­ haps,' ha* Great Britain expended such great efforts with such little result. All aioag the line from the. Hodder river to the Tugcla her military effort* have been thwarted and her best generals beaten. Following Gen. Buller’s defeat at Co-, >.-ak>. Dec. 15. in his attempt to force back the Boers and pres* on to the re­ lief of Ladysmith, it became imperative, it the siege of that plan* were to be rais­ ed. to devise -o«ne other plan to reach it kside by direct frontal attack uiwn an entrenched enemy. Accordingly Gen. Buller made ample preparation* to flank the Boers and decided on a westward movement. The Tugela river was cross­ ed in two places, from fifteen to twenty miles west of Colenso, and the movement was apparently auspiciously begun. The first serious lighting in this move­ ment began Jan. 20. All that day and each succeeding, day until the 25th the fighting continued, the Boer* making a most stubborn resistance. During the night of the 23d the force.* under Gen. Waodgate succeeded In capturiug Splon kop, a high hill that wa* considered the key to the Boer position. .The Boer* were determined that the British should not remain in possession of this eminence oo VEN when men are under fire they must have a little fun. This picture, I Er drawn In tbe trenches by a war artist, show* a favorite trick of the Fifth 4-^3 Larcers in Ladysmith. At first they achieved much success with a more simple expedient, the time-honored one of raising a helmet on a stick. Over and over again the eager Ilorr sharpshooters would waste much valuable time, am­ munition and energy on it.' But finally the freshness was worn out and no phots followed the raising of the riddled helmet. The lAncers. bound to continue their rather grim sport, then made a, man of strffw/put a soft felt hat on the figure ana elevated it on a long pole. The rrtnilt-wa* gratifying. Bullets chipped along like tain, and the hat flew.- high into the air. Down went the poor straw man as If shot dead, only to rcapiu-ar a little further .".long the line to be killed again. The Boers tired at him religiously all day long and a spy reported to the British that night that they were jubilant at the immense amount of loss that they had inflicted on the enemy. On the nekf day, when they discovered the imposition, they were so angry that they loosed a field gun at the figure, firing three shells before their wrath diminished enough to show them how grievously ’injndleious.it was to waste serious'ammunition on a straw joke. arrest of counterfeiters.

Miners und Operators at Indianapolis Finally Agree on Scale. The joint scale committee’s subcommit­ tee at Indianapolis agreed to a scale of wages to obtain throughout the competi­ tive States of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The price is 80c a ton tqr' screened coal. This agreement settles the most important question before the joint conference of miners and operators. It establishes the single-screen standard in the four States, including Illinois, which has been on the run-of-the-mine basis. It was the Illinois miners who held out so long, objecting to going back to screens. The Brasil block district of Indiana will receive 90c a ton. This scale gives the miners an advance of 14c n ton over the present scale. Tbe agree­ ment dispels all prospects of a strike, and goes into effect April 1. come the advantage which the Boers have strategeticglly, but it will not waste more troops In Natal. Despite criticism of tbe present campaign in South Af­ rica, ^the Government intends to "fight’ it out on these lines if it take* all sum­ mer.” The losses in. tbe campaign on the : upper Tugela as reported now aggregate 1.9S3 officer* and men. Much criticism is expressed not only i by general public, but in the House of : Commons public declarations arc made denouncing the withholding of news. The otHcials. however, show no inclination to throw light upon the conduct of the cam­ paign of Buller.

A fierce storm sweeping eastward from the British Northwest burst over the lit­ tle town of Collinsville, Ill., Thursday and almost wiped it out of existence. The storm also, did much damage in St. Louis. In ColJinsgiBe bouses, barns, trees and people were caught in tbe tornado's fury, and the whole country in the vicinity uf the village was laid waste.. Nine persons were injured, some of them fatally. Fine residences and miners' hovels were crush­ ed to splinters. Telegraph poles andywires were leveled, and tangled wreckage waa strewn over the earth for miles around. The cyclone struck the hamlet in the darkness just before 3 o’clock. Miners who lived on the outskirts*of the settle- ened by a terrible sound and by their roofs crashing in over their beads. To add to the terror of the situation fire started iu the debris of tome of the ‘ houses and threatened for a time to add a holocaust to the disaster. Eleven per­ sons, at least, were seriously injured, two of them being blown several hundred feet. Collinsville is twelve miles from St. Louis on the Vandalia Railroad. The wind struck at a point a mile south of the village hnd demolished tbe cottage of Frank Kobart. Ffom there it rushed north, wrecked the frame bouses of the miners who live on the outskirts of the village nnd left the occupants burned and bleeding in tb« debris. Three large resi­ dences which stood on a hill above the town were reduced to splinterw. The im­ mense smokestack oti the Hight Club Coal Company's building was toppled over like a tenpin, und the walls were shattered. The Vnndalla tracks tor a quarter of a mile were blocked with wreckage*. After the Kobart house was blown down a group of three dwellings was fell­ ed by the wind. They were occupied by John Marquette and Paul Marquette and Philip Crossan and their families. Al­ though the small dwellings were demol­ ished. all the occupants escaped injury except John Marquette. His injuries from falling timbers are not severe, but he is badly burned, for debris caught tire from an overturned lamp and the flames reached him before the neighbors could rescue him. Kobart and bis son and daughter lay in the ruins of their house for hours before they were rescued. Beyond the Vandalia tracks stood a after a three days' fight Las l«een check­ ed.

In St. Louis tbe storm waa felt in great fury. The wind blew at a velocity of sixty mile* sn hour. The barometer fell to tbe lowest point ever reached in that city. A hard thunderstorm accompanied the wind, adding terror to the scene. One woman was killed and several persons were hurt. Scores of buildings were un­ roofed. and great damage to property The greatest damage was to property in the burned district, between Franklin avenue, Morgan street; Third and Sixth streets. Herr $20,000 worth ot property was destroyed. At 827 North Third street the four-story building occupied by tbe George Benton Commission Company aud the Sage & Richmond Commission Com­ pany. and filled with produce, was blown down. It was next door to one of the buildings destroyed in Sunday's fire, and its walls had been weakened. left the engineers completely escaped the enemy’s notice.

With a wild rush the men scampered up the hill, bayonets fix­ ed, every nerve braced for the expected rifle fire, which thr Boers have hitherto referred till well within short range. The Durham light infantry assailed the lower ridges, while Hildyard's brigade made for the loftier heights. Every at­ tack was a complete success. The Boers mistaking the feint for the real attack were caught napping for the first time in this campaign. Gen.

He Lnncd upon hl* gun and looked about him aa he wiped the sweat from his face. He seemed to have reached a sort of ibland tn the great sea of swamp. In -the center of the island-stood a huge ce•dar tree, dead, with one limb atretafrjg^ out like un arm. Swinging *from that limb was an old rust-eaten chain, ■and dangling from it, caught by the hook on it* end, was u human skull, grinning, white and ghastly. Beneath the skull lay a little heap of bone«. bleached white by years of rain and snow. A sudden tierce wind blew rthrough the trees, making .moaning sound*. It caught the dangling skull in ite graup, and swung it to and-fro as if it were a horrible plaything of . fate. A raven flew from the stunted top of the old cedar, with a hoarse croak that sent 3 shiver through tbe hunter who listened. - A strange fright took possession of him. and. with a cry, he turned and fled from the place. • A BaD MIX-UP We had a great time up at our house Monday morning. Mrs. Maude Baker, who is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Wolcott, next to where the editor cate, has a wee bit of a dog. Under the editor’s back porch is a cistern, left open at the top for the . purpose of ventilation, but with a wire screen over it, to keep things out. The screen had been on several years, and was somewhat rotten. Mrs. Baker's dog was playing around the back yards, with the editor’s dog, when the printer dog ran np on the back porch. The Baker dog was too little to get up on the porch, so he went under the ptireh. Soon the editor heard a * (dashing, as though something was in the cistern. A hurried investiga­ tion revealed tbe fact that there really was something in the cistern, and It proved to be the Baker dog. The trap door in tlie porch was too small to admit the editor's shoulders. so he veiled like a (kHiuuache Indian for Leip: HR- help didn’t come, ami the N* ighlicr Woluutt *ppes*red upon the scene.

By tiiat time ail of tbe women in Ur; nighborhood were un the seene. and a disinterested spectator would have thought that half of the children in the town were in the cistern, by th»weeping and wailing going on. After a time, doggie made his appearawe tn the middle of tbe cistern again, under the trap door, and 1 •Lapsing’’ made another dive, with the editor hanging to his leg* to keep him from going where the pop was, and he dually got hold of his doglcte and the life was saved.

The prosecution have used over a week with their testimony,-. snd do not seem to be nearing the end yet, but all who have kept track of tiie case must admit that up to tiie present time the evidence has not been of'a very damaging character. Ip order to convict a person of a’ crime, it- is first necessary to show that a crime has been committed. The next step, to show who committed It.’ In this, case the prosecution seem to be unable to prove that Mr. Putnam was-murdered. He was found dead in the barn, with several bruises on his head, which one doctor testifies caused his death, but there has b-.en nothing as yet to show that these injuries were caused by any of the persons implicated. They may have been reeeived by n fall? by the kick of a horse, or in othe- ways. There may he <otne stronger evidence introduced later, but if not there i* hut little probabil­ ity of a eonvi-tion being secured. The first witness was Mrs, Eldridge., a neighbor, who testified that about 5 o’clock on the day of the affair Mrs. Putnam came to her home and told her that Mr. Putnam had either been hurt by someone or was trying to kill himbi'lf. She went for her husband, and then went to Mrs. Putnam’s home. When she gut there, Mr. Eldridge,' Mr.*Pease and Barker had taken Put­ nam to the house, and a doctor was sent for. When the doctor caine. lie told Mrs. Putnam that an operation was. the only chance for saving the man’s life. She asked if an operation was performed whether he would be' all right afterwards. She did Dot object to having the oiieration performed, but did not want it performed unless there was hope of a successful result. Leroy Eldridge followed his wife. He was the first person to see Mr. Put­ nam after hy -vas hurt. He was lying on the barn floor, stiff and with faint <igns of life. There was blood on his face and shirt front. He helped Pease, who bad come later, to carry Putnam, to the houcc, and Pease went for a doctor. Mrs. Putnam did not seem excited or surprised, neither she or her daughter did anything for Put­ nam, and al 9 o’clock both »went up stairs' and did not come down again until next morning. Eldredge explained the situation of the building.-' and surroundings. He seldom saw Putnam 'with his family, and did not know whether their.rela­ tions were pleasant or not.

Thomas Hopewell lle«_ cued by.Three Policemen.' The National Anti-Trust Conference at Chicago adopted a long address to the public, in which the people are urged to organize to deprive trusts of their power. It declares that the conference is not making war on business combinations to {educe cost and augment productive effi­ ciency. It charges that oppressive trusts hamper the production of wealth. The Standard Oil. the’Ment, the Anthracite Coal, the Sugar, the Paper and the Steel trusts an* denounced by name. It charges that a Banking trust is threatened, which would dictate the volume of paper'money and reduce all bankers to servants of itself. It declares that the tendency is toward a few great trusts which would become absolute masters of the American people. It.declares that the only remedy is the abolition of legalized privileges of every kind, and especially those created by tariffs, by die granting Af the money issuing function to private •.•orporat'iuus nnd by private ownership of railroad and telegraph lines. The address holds that no one can ob­ ject to the abolition of tariffs which fos­ ter trust*. It declares that the trust mag­ nates control the banks, and. with con­ trol of the volume of the circulating medinm, they would absolutely dominate the colhmcrcial life of the nation. It holds that the telegraph is n natural adjunct of the post office. but in private hands it has worked vast evil. It declares that private ownership of railroads has fur­ nished the basis of nearly every great commercial trust with which the people to-day arc cursed. The coni trust is vi­ talized by railway privileges; the oil trust could not have acquired Its power with­ out them; the beef trusts and the grain eh-vatof trust <lc|>end upon them; they .make the steel trust flourish, and from express combinations down to newspaper agencies, from hack rights at depots to freight discriminations a host of minor trusts suck in nil the vitality they have as iiionojiolieH from railway privileges.

He heard the conversation relative to the operation. His recollection was that Mrs. Putnam showed signs of grief. Was positive he observed tears in her eyes. She brought towels and water to wash Putndm's wounds and so far as he knew did all she could do. Will Daglow called at Putnan’s about 7 o’clock, June 5, and borrowed a shovel. Latter was running a wash­ er. He got.the shovel for Daglow but did not Say anything and only nodded his head when he made a remark about the weather. It was quite un­ usual and he thought it strange con­ duct. Heard a horse whinney in di­ rection of Putnam’s field several times that morning. Did not see the ani,mal, but it could not have been in the barn. Dr. Sawyer then took the stand. He told of his being- called to attend Put­ nam; his arrival there; the appearance of tbe mow and of Putnam. Mrs. Put­ nam related to him the incidents of the day. She said Putnam went to the barn about 10 o’clock to take care of his horse, which was baited in the orchard. Shortly after she thought she heard a cry, out she did not inves­ tigate. At noon she went to the barn and saw Putnam on the hay. After dinner she went out and stirred him with a rake, but he only grunted. She went out again later and peeking through a creek she saw him this time on the ground floor. She did not re­ late to him anything about Putnam’s crawling on his hands and knees, etc. Dr. Sawyer said his investigations at the barn were conduted on a theory of accident. Mrs. Putnam’s statement that Putnam had gone to the barn to -get the horse, and that soon after she heard a cry, formed the basis for a theory that the horse kicked Putnam on one side of the head and that he bad struck or fallen against something, thus accounting for the opposite wound. A. post behind the mare’s stall was examined, no blqod was up­ on it except a spot on a peg the nature of which was uncertain. There were no other blood spot* in that part of the barn. Nothing was found to dis­ prove this theory. Another theory was that Putnam might have fallen from the loft. Tills was abandoned after a thorough investigation.’ 'Dr. Sawyer testified that in examin­ ing the dead man he found blood on his hands, faceshirt and overalls and right position when blooding. The lc particular point brought out by the doctor was when he said he went back 500 purses at from :3 to 15c to tbe house and made another exam­ ination of Putnan's head and found a 390 pieces stamped linen at cut on the left side of his head that looked as though made with a blunt 250 rubber combs at from I instrument. The tissue seemed loose and torn about the wound and was 125 yards of ticking, per yard, somewhat swollen, and there was an 90 yards white table linen at 25 to 35c- -abrasion on the the other side of the head. Dr. Sawver also testified that 500 yards of drapery cloth at 6 and 7c the injuries to Mr. Putnam might have 1,500 linen collars at 5c or 6 for 25c been caused by a kick from a horse, but no blood could be found in the stable or on the halter. The only rea­ 90,000 needles at five papers for son be thought the wounds had been 25,000 needles at two papers for made by a kick from a horse was that William Osborn had told him the Mourning pins, per box, ’ horse was vicious. Dr. Gier said that he thought it 200 pairs children’s bicycle stockings, might be possible, but not at all prob­ 50c kind at - 15c able, that the wounds would come from 200 pairs children’s bicycle stockings, a fall, because a fall would have pro­ duced different wounds from those on 25c kind at 9c Putnam, and that he would not expect to find a man in a strychnine spasm lying on hla face, but would lie on his back. Mrs. Putnam did not in his presence express any regret at her husband being in that condition. Dr. Whelan was called, but there was nothing new to his testimony. 1,000 other Bargains On the afternoon of June 7 the inquest was begun. He (Dr. Whelan) and at this special sale now Dr. Bates made tbe post-mortem by order of the prosecutor. Found one on at the deep cut and one small one on each side of the head. The deep cuts pen­ etrated nearly to the bone. The cuts were exactly alike except that on one side the small cut wa* below the large one and on the other side the positions were reversed. On the back of tbe head was -a deep cut low down, from which a quantity of blood had flown. They opened the head and under each wound found blood clota which caused pressure on the brain and pro­ duced death. Examined the brain and spinal cord for strychnine, but found none. He said tbe man came to his death by effects of violence, the Hows upon the head causing rupture of the . blood vessels of the brain. He exam■ ined the heart and found it healthy 325 crochet hooks, each - Cicatjo what right prooreuiing attorney: he ordered him to do it. Her Muu-in-law said: •* Why, do it, and must do a* he is told by the officers.” . She said she‘did not know this was to be a poi*t-snort*ai until she heard tbe cruel w, or_i*be would not have permitted it. She showed no feeling at all. The doctor said on cro*e-examinadon that there might have been poison in the Sidneys, but they were □ot sent to a chemist. A detailed-diagram of the barn is suspended over the witness box and is frequently referred to, to illustrate the position of Putnam when discovered, the blood spots at various places, and other matters that may play au im­ portant part in the trial. . Wednesday morning Dr. Whelan said that the wounds on the bead were evidently both made by the aame in­ strument,' as they were aliae. He was excused for a- while, and Chas. S. French, a former druggist of Hills* dale, called. French was shown pieces of an envelope which William Osborn said he took from the pocket of Mr. Putnam as he lay on die barn floor. Tbe envelope had a slip marked "poi­ son” pasted on it. French said it was not his writing,, but he thought the envelope was the same as be uked. H. D. Terdole, of Durand, who ’suc­ ceeded Mr. French, testified that it was not his. Oscar Folger testified that he was an old neighbor Of Putnams, both in Cambria and in Nashville, where Put­ nam kept a hardware store for a while. He said the relations between Putnam and wife were not cordial, and that she never saw her manifest any affec­ tion for him. Putnam bad a stove in an old shop, and when he visited there two yeans ago they spent the evenings in that building. ■Kay Snyder, principal of the high school at Portland, was called. He lived with the Putnams when they re­ sided, on College Hill, Hillsdale. After the tragedy Mrs. Putnam wrote him and said that perhaps he might be called, and if he could only tell what would injure her, let her know before he came. He told of the relations be­ tween Mr. and Mrs. Putnam and said they were, not ‘very cordial. Mr. Putnam and his daughter Sarah got along well together, but Mrs. Put­ nam had most influence over the "irl. He had used their horse a great deal and It was very gentle. H. C. Petrie, a neighbor, testified to the relations between Mr. and Mrs. Putnam. He never saw them together but once. Saw the horse in the old orchard and the coll in the new or­ chard between 10 and 11 o’clock on. the morning of June 5. Mr. Daglow was recalled and testified to seeing the horses when Petrie saw them. Mr. Powers, another neighbor, said that once'Putnam said to him that he wished he could die as he thought he was in the way. He had known of Mr. Putnam going to the barn and sleep­ ing on the hay. On the 16th of June he hud a talk with Mrs. Putnam when she said she did not want it under­ stood that she did not want a doctor called, but would not have permitted a post-mortem if she had known what they were doing. He told Mrs. Put­ nam that he saw Mr. Putnam Sunday, and he was cheerful, she said: ‘‘Why, Lime did not speak to me all day Sunday and Sarah said he did not to her.” He went there with Mr. Eldredge at the.request of Mrs. Putnam to look for a box which Putnam kept locked and which Mrs. Putnam was anxious to find before Charles Putnam got there. They found the box later. Court adjourned till Friday morning. FL C. EXCURSION RATES.

That s a practical question! Are you paying too much? If you're paying a high price, you’re probably paying as much for a name as for the coffee.

You can’t afford to pay twice the price.that’s necessary, can you? Then why not get Arbuckles’? Get right down to the coffee question and settle it now.

We sell it to you at a low price because we would rather sell millions of pounds at a low profit than a thousand pounds at a big profit.

Lord Robert*. without any explana­ tion of how dr where the losses were Incurred. Gen. Roberts’ previous dis­ patch, so far a* it was published by the . war office, gave the imprewjon that the Boers were in full retreat, making hard­ ly any resistance, and uroused the expec­ tation that the next tidings would an­ nounce the surrender ot Commandant, Cronje’s aruiy.'Then came the news that nearly fifty British officers, ineludingtwo . prominent generals, bad been killed or wounded, while the losses of the rank and file were not mentioned. There can be no doubt that the British invasion of the Orange Free Mtate is being sharply con­ tested, and that the 'Federal forces are still in vigorous fighting trim. • The news from Gen. Buller’s campaign la favorable as far as It goes, but the per■aistent report that Lady smith/had been relieved proves to have been premature. The Tugela river was crossed for the fourth time by the British Wednesday, « but It would bo almost absurd to assume that the retirement of the Boers from this point before the British advance in­ dicates an intention to abandon the siege of Ladysmith aud the possession of-terri­ tory Id Natal. In other words, the crisis Is not yet passed, according to the infor­ mation at. present received, and all de­ pends. .not on Gen. Buller's campaign, which is now a sffle issue, but on Gen. ■Roberts’ great dash at the Free State capital. One of the costliest actions of the war occurred at Paaffcberg drift Sunday, Feb. 18. Gen. Kelly-Kenny, in his pur­ suit of Gen. Cronje. caught the latter’s rear guard at Klip drift and followed the burghers to the Boers* langer at J<oodoosrand. The drift aetkm began at day­ break, thomounted infantry driving the 4 Boer rear guard up the riv^r toward the main body, while another body of mount­ ed infantry maneuvered on the right, front and finnk of the Boers. The Brit­ ish main body advanced to outflank the Boers’ laager on the north bank of the river. Gen. Kelly-Kenny, having seised two drifts, found the Boers strongly in­ closed. and ordered an attack, with the Highland brigade on the left and Geh. Knoxes -brigade on the center and right, while Gen. Smith'Dorrien’s brigade cross ed the river and advanced along the north bank. v ,• j On both the north and south banks the ground is level and the «mlyance ’--------aero** this was deadly and thc| ’jBritisb losses ence to any other kind.

Your motbfirs and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen­ dicitis. Nervous Prostration or Heart fail­ ure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop terxdeuta- lion of undigested food, regulate tie ac­ tion of tte liver, stimulate tte nervous and organic action of tte system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and otter aches.

An exchange says: Every town has a liar or'two; a smart Alpc; some pret­ ty girls; more loafers than it needs: a woman who tattles; an old fogy that the town would be better without; men who stand around on street corners and make remarks about women; a man who laugh every time he says anything; scores of men who stand around With tne caboose cf their trous­ ers worn as thin as glass, men who can tell you how the war question ought to be settled and how to run other people’s business, but who make a dismal failure of their own.

The old man signed the papers, and that winter he slept in the-hay mow and gets his meals away from the dog be­ hind the granary. Cases like this are not so rare as one might suppose.

Remember This Fast That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are communicating with a wommi —a woman whose experience in treat­ ing woman’s ilia is greater than that of any living person—male or female. A woman can talk freely to a wo­ man when it is revolting to relate her private troubles to a man. , Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, know­ ing full well that they should have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examination of even their family physician. It ia unneces­ sary. Without money or price you can consult a woman, whose knowledge from actual experience is unequaled. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to freely communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at AU* letter* are received, opened, This is a positive fact—not a mere statement—anybody and everybody is invited to Mrs. Pinkham’s office to see for themselves—when we say every­ body we mean women of course—thus has been established the eternal con­ fidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken and has induced more than 100,000 sufferers to write her for advice during the last few months. . Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, ’ it la more than possible that she has gained the .very knowledge that will help yohr case.

Cronje and hla force, numbering 4,000 wun, was official!/ announced by the Britiah war office early Tuesday morning. G««. Cronje. commandant of a Boer army estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 Bum. retreated from Modder River to­ ward Bloemfontein, the capital of the Orange Free State, when Gen. French. ^Ith British troops, effected the relief of Kimberley. Gen*. Kelly-Kenny and .Kitchener managed to head off the re­ treat. Gen. French came to their aid from Kimberley and Lord Roberts con­ centrated bis whole British fore* about the cornered Boer army. Fighting wa* kept up almost incessantly for ten'day*, O&ding with Cronje’s surrender. At daybreak Tuesday morning the Brit­ ish were preparing to renew tbe bombard­ ment of the Boer laager whrn an officer arrived from Gen. Cronje offering. sur­ render and asking a safe conduct for the women and children who accompanied the army. The request was granted. Im­ mediately upon receipt of the news in London the Queen and Government offi­ cials wired their congratulations to Lord Roberts and his victorious army. For six days the Boer army was practically at tbe mercy of the British, but Lord Roberts treated the burghers with great consideration from humane motives. -Surrounded by ten times their number, cut off from re-euforcemeut« and sup­ plies, subjected to a concentrated artillery and machine-gun fire thaCfor fierceness And effectiveness'probably has not been l»^-hi*torT. burrowing like rab­ bits in a river bank, nnd threatened by a flood that might burst on them at any time and drown them out like rata, the Boers held out for over a week, and sawone relieving force after another broken np and scattered by the superior strength of the enemy. A week in such a situa­ tion is a long time. It would have been a great achievement to hold that position for three days. But they had to yield at last. Gen. Cronje himself was receiv­ ed by Lord Robert’s with the greatest courtesy and sympathy. Lord Roberts will exchange a large aumber of tbe Boer prisoners captured for British prisoners held in Pretoria. At last account* the Boers held as pris­ oners 103 officers and 2.GGD men. These, will be swapped for an equal number or Boer prisoners. Gen. Cronje will be held a prisoner of war at Cape Town, as the Boers have no offeer of his rank to ex­ change for him.

Cronje’s surrender reached London Tuesday morning during a sudden downpour of rain and spread by word of mouth almost before the extra paper* appeared. Englishmen thawed at once. Absolute straugers stopped in the streets, shook bandit nnd slapped .each others’ backs. In office buildings joine went down the corridors hammering door* aud shouting the glad tidings. Many rushed to the telegraph offices, while cxcired throngs blocked the win­ dows and flags were run up everywhere. A stranger entering London would uot hp.ve known the town. Tbe usual si^ri'l ’Englishman for the moment was insane with joy. Trofoedlngs on. the stock ex­ change opened with tbe singing of "God Save the Queen,” nnd then the jubilant brokers cheered Roberts. Kitchener and everybody connected with the war again and again. . Fall Mali was thronged; and the war office- p:l ked with shouting and cheering crowds. Congratulations were exchanged on "every side. It was really the first chance the public has hud to jubilate, nnd no one seemed to neglect the opportunity. Tbe fact that it was the anniversary of the battle of Majuba Hill added to the effectiveness of the news, carrying as it did the avenging of the disastrous defeat the British had sustained nineteen years ago. Gen. Cronje’s surrender will have a far-reaching effect. It opens the south­ ern Free State to the British and iso­ lates the Boers in northern Cape Colony. The Boer*, it Is known, are now collect­ ing for the defense of Bloemfontein, where another battle 1* likely to occur, but tho Transvaal, is still untouched. A stubborn resistance is expected there. On Saturday nnd Sunday, Feb. 17 and 4S, an attempt was made to take Cronje’s position by assault, but again the Boers demonstrated their ability to stand off infantry attack, and the British were treated to a deadly fire against which they could not advance. On Monday, Feb. ID. Gen. Roberts arrived. He saw the futility of attempting te storm the Boer position and ordered a cessation of these tactics. Instead, he brought up the artillery around tbe Boer laager nnd opened a terrific bombardment, mean­ while employing the infantry in an attack on the Boer re-enforcements who werecoming to Cronje’s relief. Until .Thurs­ day the bombardment continued unabat­ ed and it was reported that the beleag- Roasted Coffee is used every day in more than a million American homes.

He received a splendid military educa­ tion in England. The success he won In the Indian mutiny led to his eventual pro­ motion to be commander-in-chief of the Indian army.

British Faith in "Bob-” la Strength* ened by the Recent Victory. Now that one of the most formidable of the Boer generals has been summarily disposed of. the London war critics are justifying their confidence, in ’‘Bobs,” whose good luck is proverbial, but ia In reality an infinite capacity for taking pains. They point out that it took only ten days to compel the surrender of the Boer* at Paardeburg, while Mafeking, Ladysmith aud Kimberley, with very in­ ferior forces, have held out for ’ four months. The comparison seem* to grati­ fy the national pride, somewhat humbled as it has been by recent reverse* and hostile foreign criticism. The capture of Gen. Cronje nnd "his troop* cannot fail to have an immediate effect on the war. Gen. Cronje’s name was one wherewith to conjure. During the -war of 1SSO-1 Cronje besieged Pot-, ehefatroom. After a long and gallant re-’ sista nee the garrison was forced to sur­ render eight days after peace had been declared. During all that time Cronje bad concealed tbe news from the British commander.

W fl For months., even years, some of our citizens who claim to know, have declared that Calhoun and it# sur­ rounding Bounties are over beds of. good coal and wells of oil. Some be­ lieved the declaration of the men, oth­ er* doubted, but at this present time it ha* been established beyond all pos­ sibility of a doubt that a rich vein of anthracite coal and possibly wells of oil, have been discovered underlying a certain section of Barry county, one mile from Morgan station and 20 miles from thi# city; constituting obtain portions of Maple Grove, Castleton and Baltimore townships. As a re­ sult of recent experiments in oil and coal, which until lately were kept a secret., a stock company has been or­ ganized here and drawn up ad the Thorn apple Vai ley Coal A Oil Co. Dr. Leon M. Gillette of the city board of aldermen, Prof. Alfred M. Gillette, Justice Horace H. Bidwell, Clarence Sellers find Alfred M. Smith are directly interested in the'deal and a meeting of those gentlemen was held in the. offices of Justice Bidwell where the project was carefully and thor­ oughly considered. The certainty that coal underlies that portion of Barry county was so manifestly prov­ en that the promoters of the- business immediately drew up the necessary papers to resolve themselves Into a stock company with a-capital of 6200,­ 000. The officers of the association are H. H'. Bidwell, president; C. W. Sel­ lers, vice president; SA. M. Gillette, secretary; L. M. Gillette M.D., treas­ urer, and A. M. Smith, manager. Tbe office is to be at the court of Justice Bidwell in the Whitcomb block. All communications may be addressed to the company at that place. The purpose of the company is to test, explore, prospect and search that part of Barry county known as the old Greenfield vicinity, for oil, coal, minerals, and for the opening up and excavating of that country, for the marketing of coal, oil, minerals, etc. The exact area of the premises takes in over 2,000 acres, which has been leased to the company for a term of years, to suit the association and its ends. The locality is easily accessible to the Grand River Valley R. R. It takes in the station at Morgan, ex­ tends up to and around Thornapple lake, a fair sized body of water used as a summer resort. Hastings and Nashville are only six miles from the coal fields, and Grand Rapids is but 40 miles distant. The positive fact that coal is present in that vicinity was discovered by the merest accident and it forms an in­ teresting story. The first knowledge that coal might underly Barry county, dates back to the “forties’’ when the flrat United States government survey was made. When that country was visited by the surveyor and his assistants, the land along the High bank creek, a swift running stream, was marked at once as having noticeable evidence of coal. The government man drove a stake into the ground over the portion of the country where he thought, in con­ junction with others, that coal was most likely lobe found. Years rolled on and Leroy Greenfield, who owned the farm where the surveyor had placed the stake, always talked about the probability of the existence of the fuel under his farm, but never made any endeavors to develop the mat­ ter. Later he sold his farm to David Rouech. Last fall Albert M. Smith of the recently organized company, purchased the farm having beard that tbe land was valuable when considered from the standpoint that coal under­ lay a large part of it. On the day of his nupehaae of the property, which consists of 50 acres, Mr. Smith ascer­ tained that Rousch .s son Charles had noticed small chunks of coal lying at the bottom of a small boiling spring, at the foot of a bank of the Highbank creek, near Hanchett’s mill. Mr. Rousch offered to conduct Mr. Smith upon request to the spot and when it was reached, Smith readily saw evi­ dence of the presence of coal, as small pieces of fuel would constantly be thrown up to the surface of the water by tbe current and then sink. His curiosity was speedily aroused and he began to question Rousch. Further investigations showed that along the entire length of the stream, which passed through the coal fields, a distan&e of four miles, coal could be easily seen in veins in tbe banks on both sides. One of the-gentlemen took a stick and dug into the layer and se­ cured about a peck of coal, and, when put into a stove and Ignited, it burned as jvell as the beet coal now in use7 Tbe contracts for the land the company have secured, cover all prop­ erty, both sides of the creek for a dis­ tance of one mile. The backs are over sixty feet in height for miles along. The coal veins already discovered an­ on a level with the creek bottom and have excellent evidence of being of great breadth and length. Mr. Rousch informed Mr. Smith that a young man by the name of Wm. Whitlock, who resides in the immed­ iate neighborhood, had noticed oilliku substance on tbe surface of sever­ al springs in tbe locality, and being of a curious turn of mind, had smeared a stick with the same and applied a match to it. The substance took fire instantly aud burned with a bright flame, thus showing that the scum on his Smith by taking him to springs, securing some ol setting fire t<» it. Another Ibswmm'c of the striking of one grist mH!, ♦hlch are indispensa­ ble in the work of mining. An abun­ dance of good timber abounds aud th-; facilities that are required in such work, seesn to have been supplied, in part, by nature. The mills have the tM-st of water |K>wer. Expert# from Lansing, Grand Rap­ ids, Detroit and otiicr cities, have been inspecting the property of late, having learned from farmers in tbe vicinity that Battle “Creek men were about io begin operations there. They endeavored at once to secure options on the land but were unsucoeMfu! as Battle Creek men with their custom­ ary energy and push, han been there ahead of them and secured the leases, thus settling any difficulty that might have arisen. ’ When the spring weather seta in and the frost- leaves the ground, shaft# will be sunk and, as soon as practicable, the work of mining the coal will be be­ gun, so one of the stockholders in­ formed our representative. Goverment experts have been on the fields and examined the coal. They pronounce it as being of the best an­ thracite and also states that the pres­ ence of oil in paying quantities is certain. A sample of the coal has also been passed upon by the state ex­ pert at Lansing who states that pro­ duct is pf excellent quality. Leaser have been obtained from 25 property owners and many farms will be affected later, although at the pres­ ent, Operations will be confined to the old Greenfield place. A company of □11 experts will be put on the work shortly and a thorough investigation of the territory will be made. SANFORD J. TRUMAN’S SPRING LIHE_PfLLA©lESl FURNISH! For the Gents.

Methuen moved as it costs some $15,000 a month to keep pear as the two most recent developments of the grain trade of the United States: GENERAL WHITE AND STAFF LEAVING LADYSMITH. Firstly, the partial diversion of the wheat ntfd flour trade from Lake Michigan to Lake Superior ports and the rise of a groat milling industry nt Minneapolis and. Duluth-Superior: secondly, the increased movement of grain, nnd notably of corn, to the gulf ports, partly by river, to a Ing extent by direct rail route* from cities in the southwestern corn belt. The statistics contained iu this report throw light up<>u the present grain (and more es|»c<-i:illy wheat) situation »f the United States. They show that, the vxportation of grain Is increasing, with great rapidity, that both the production nnd exportation of corn are assuming a greater volume nnd that a constantly in the for thirty-two northward from De Aar to the relief of Kimberley: Gen. Buller, north from Dur­ ban for the relief of Ladysmith; and Gens. French and Gatacre. northward along the railroads passing into the Or­ ange Free State, to clear Cape Colony of Boers. Gen. Methuen's column ad­ vanced more rapidly than the others, fought four battles, but was-not able to relieve Kimberley. Gen. Buller’s column got no farther north than Colcnso. Gen. French was stopped below -Colesbcrg. Gen. Gatacre was held at Molteno. The third stage of the campaign open­ ed with the arrival of Gen. Roberts and another reorganization ot the British army. . Making a feint on his extreme right at Colenso, Roberts moved his main column tc flank the Boer position at Magcrsfontein. This movement broke the Boer line, resulted in the relief of Kim­ berley, in the capture of Gen. Cronje and his army, in the retirement of the Boers from Colesberg nnd Jamestown, and was the determining factor in relieving Lady­ smith. The fourth stage of the campaign opens ■with the retirement of the Boers to now lines of defense. The reports Indicate that a show of resistance was kept up south of Ladysmii'h until the siege guns and war material were transferred north­ ward. When this was accomplished no military purpose could be served by the Boers in clinging to the positions about Ladysmith. Their retirement from Lady­ smith. and their possible retirement from Bloemfontein, yield groat advantages to the British invading columns, but both mores were inevitable. With northern Cape Colony free of Boers, Gefi. Roberts has three railroads nt his service. This fact simplifies tbe problem of supplying his army. The retreat of the Boers in Natal will be less precipitate than in the Orange Free State, because the former have the mountains behind them and are retiring on positions which nature has-made al­ most Impregnable. The Boer generals must guard against a formidable attack .from Gen. Roberts in the Orange Free State, must resist the advance of Gen. Buller toward I.aing's Neg and Van Rcenen’s Pass, aud must at the same time strengthen their lines on the left to resist a flanking movement through Zuidhmd. Withdrawn! from the Tugcla and from the Orange river to the mountain passes and to Kroonstad will great!? shorten and strengthen the Boer line of defeifre. Their line will then represent two sides of a triangle, with the point on the Drak­ ensberg Mountains below Van Reenen's Pau. with one side line extending north­ ward along the partially completed rail­ road to Kroonstad, and with the other reaching along,the mountains up to and eastward of Laing's Nek. Kimberley was relieved after a alege of 122 days, and Ladysmith after a siege of 118 days. By laying siege to these two points, both of them of great Impor­ tance to the British, the Boers practical­ ly chose the fighting ground for the first months of the war. A dozen engage­ ments were fought for the possession of Kimberley, and over twenty for the pos­ session of Ladysmith.

Mrs. Adair is well known in the fash­ ionable society of New York and New­ port. Her first husband was a Mr. Ritchie of Boston. In 1807 she married the late John Adair, who was one of the great land magnate? of Ireland and high sheriff of the County Donegal. She is very wealthy in her own right. Business Situation. Chicago Correspondence: The general tenor of the trade reporta indicate that the movement of business is still large, and that prices for all the staples are being well maintained. In certain lines there is a little Jess eager­ ness to contract for forward delivery on the assumption that a presidential year tainty, but as a rule stocks are low and deliveries still backward. Business ot the week In speculative grain circles was of normal activity, without being subjected to violent change from previously prevailing prices. The general tendency was to a sofhewhat lower range, but with prices already rea­ sonably low holders displayed considera­ ble reluctance to part with their property at any marked reduction. There being, however, an excessive supply nt the monipatT'-compared with the demand, prices v^cre compelled to follow (he inexorable economic law. Shipments of wheat from Argentina were never so heavy for the same period as they were last week, and European buyers appear to be able to buy on better terms than are asked by hold­ ers of American wheat. Unless thereoccurs a serious failure of some one or other of the more important wheat crops of the world, that mature about July or August a permanent material improve­ ment in price seems Improbable. The price ot corn yielded slightly, and some of its former friends expressed themselves less hopefully regarding its future than they bad been doing for the previous two or three months. Many who had bought corn when the May price was around 30 rents sold out at and above 35 cents and profess to believe de­ liveries from fanners will exceed the de­ mand from shippers from now until they start their spring plowing at least. Dur­ ing that time the expectation is the pres­ sure of the immediate offerings will en­ able bulls who have sold at around 35 cents to buy back perhaps 2 rents above. The tendency of the stock markets dur­ ing the week has again been downward. There is little pressure on the psrt of in­ vestors, but the traders who bought on the slump of last December have been taking their profits and practically no new buying has made'its appearance. Special causes are largely responsible for the present condition of the market, and until these causes are eliminated it will probably be useless to look for any per­ manent improvement in tbe general lizt.

Auditor General Dix has been sending out blanks for the collection ot taxes against .telephone, telegraph and expres* companies iu accordance with the new law pass'd by tbe lust Legislature. Un­ der the old law. which was declared un­ constitutional by tbe Supreme Court, telephone and telegraph companies were assessed the average rate of taxation in the State, which wns computed • to be something over 2 j»er cent upon the basis of the value of their property. Express companies paid 5 per cent of th.ir gross earnings. The now law provide* for a tax of 3 per rent upon the gross earning* of the companies. The Jan'will result in an increased tax on te’ephone ami tele­ graph companies and n decrease of ex­ press company taxes, but on the whole ’ there will be more taxes collected. The taxey lire due on or before July 1, and when received will be credited to the spe­ cific rt»x fund. The report of Michigan departmeAt? G. A. It., makes a gratifying showing. The report, which is for the last half of 1899, hhows that at the close of that jieriod there were in Michigan 382 posts with an aggregate memb<‘rship of 15.192.

The Court of Appeals decided that the assets of (he association should . l>e turned over to the general receiver of the association and held unconstitutional the Michigan law providing that the Michigan assets of the company should go to the Michigan shareholders'. The action of the Supreme Court in granting the certiorari upon the recent argument of. ex-Atlorney General Maynard indi­ cates a possible triumph tor the Michigan creditors, of whom there are 3,000 bold­ ing claims aggregating iu the neighbor­ hood of $70,990. Attorney-General Oren has advised the Secretary of State that foreign building and loan associations doing business in Michigan are not included in the law of 1887 exempting the stock of building and loan association* ' from taxation. He holds that only the stock ot associations incorporated tn Michigan are exempt. The effect will be to place ou the tax rolls al! stock of associations of other States owned in Michigan. • The claims of soldiers of the Spanish war for relief provided for by an act passed at the special session of the legis­ lature, making an appropriation of $40,­ 000 for the purpose, aggregate nearly $80,000.

The Fire Box is between the Oven and Reservoir, thus heating both without diverting the heat from the Oven. The oven is entirely encased in Asbestos, permitting no heat to escape, thus saving the heat other stoves and many ranges waste. Lest heat means more wood. I will agree to do your work'with a saving of nearly one-half in time and fuel. The HotrCloset at top is the entire length of tbe Range, thus giving ample room. We placed a DOUBLE FIRE BOX, DOUBLE OVEN, 12 HOLE RANGE in the Wolcott House two weeks ago, and Landlord Buel says that it will bake in three minutes, and does not use as much fuel as the SINGLE FIRE BOX, SINGLE OVEN RANGE (Nearly New) that he took out.

Nebraska Supreme Court Rule* Brok- At Lincoln. Neb., the Supreme Court decided that dealing in options in the Chicago Board of Trade wv « wagering transaction, and no suit for recovery of lows could l« maintained. The oum? came up from .Dixon County, where a grain buyer, who wns dealing in options, induced a< Chicago brokerage firm to car­ ry bitn for $1,400. - He did not pay„ and Milt to recover was brought. The court holds that contracts for future delivery <»f grain where no grain is transferred or intended to be delivered arc against public |»olicy, gambling, void, npd noncnforcible. The opinion says that per­ haps not 1 per cent of purchases and Mies of wheat on ’change represent bonn fide transactions, the remainder being mere speculations Jn the fluCThations in the market prices.’ The true test is held to be the intention of the minds of the parties to purchase for actual delivery, nud that the contract would then be vali<i even if the seller did not have nclual posaeaaion of grain.

' Accident aster Happened. An explosion at the Red Ash mine, two miles west of Thurmond, W. Va., killed nearly 125 miners. The cxplosiotr is be­ lieved to have occurred near the mouth of the mine. It was heard on. adjoining mountains and coal cars and mules were buried several hundred yards down the mountain side. The sound of the explo­ sion spread terror in every direction, and rescuing parties were soon on the scene. The mouth of the mine was found jam­ med altnott lull of carts, mules, and a few human bodies. It is believed that every man in the mines perished. Hun­ dreds of women, 'wives, daughters and sweethearts of the unfortunate ones, crowded about the mouth of the mine and their wails were heartrending. ’ These mines usually employ 150 people, "but Hhennan Shirkey, the bookkeeper, states that for h week only about threefourths of the men have been on duty. Fully 80 per cent of the miners were white people and aliont 60 per cent were married men. John Laing, the superin­ tendent, came out of the mine not more than ten minutes before the catastrophe. He is of the impression that lie gas iu the mines was ignited from a miner’s lamp. The mine is the property of tbe Red Ash Coal Company, the principal owner of which is J. Fred Effinger of Staunton, Va. • Portions of a body were found after the explosion 'hanging to a tree almost sixty yards from the mouth of tbe mine. Andrew Pritt, chancellor commander of Beury IxKlge, Knights of Pythias, was taken from the mine, but was unable to siyuik and ‘died soon afterward. More than a dozen doctors were dispatched to the scene from the various towns in tbe vicinity, but their services were unnec­ essary. All the victims were dead. The mine ia in a mountain overhanging the little town of Red Ash. where most of the miners lived. Tbe opening was high upon tbe mountain wall, about 700 feet above the west side of New river.

Questions for Women If you were offered sure aid in time of trouble would you put it iM>ide and accept something of doubtful efficiency ? If you saw before you » strong and safe bridge leading to your go»l, would you ignore it to try some insecure and tottering structure ? The answers to these questions is plain. You would, of course, choose without hesitation what all evidence showed to be the safe thing, and you would risk ‘nothing in useless experi­ ments. Why then do some women risk one of their most precious possessions— their health—in trying medicines of unknown value, which may even prove hurtful to them. Lydia E. Pinkham*® Vegetable Com­ pound has stood the test of years. It has the largest sole of any remedy for female ills in the world, and nothing could have given it this sale except its own meriL Do not try any experiments, but buy what is known to be reliable. Mrs. Pinkham's Compound can do all that is claimed for it, und all statements in regard to it cun be easily verified. Mrs. Pinkham invites every suffering woman to come to Lynn for' this pur­ pose. This would be a dangerous in­ vitation to publish broadcast if Mrs. Pinkham was not most sincere and honest in all her statements and claims. For instance—here arc Three Letters from One Woman Showing How Lydia E.

After receiving your letter I followed ' your advice exactly, and thanks to you, I am cured of that dreadful disease. 1 cannot find w*ords to ex­ press the good your medicine will do.

' (kumty treasurer# and their deputies cannot purchase tax titles mid hold their jobs, or the reverse, is more nearly cor­ rect. In the case of Wait against Gard­ ner, decided by the Supreme Court, it is that “county treasurer* nnd their dep­ uties have certain duties to perform tar and in behalf of the public, which pre­ clude t’hem from becoming purchasers of State bids.’’ 1'he Supreme Court reason# that the treasurer aud his deputies are to make the sales to one who will take the least land and pay the tax. that if the officer* ‘are interested in purchasing the State bid- they may give wrong in­ formation, and that, as they are on the Inside, they have an opportunity to take advantage of the information.

This being insufficient to meet all the claims, nn additional appropnntiou of $40,9UU was made nnd the soldiers were given until March 1- in which to tile their claims. These’aggre­ gate $83,000 and the payment is being made on the basis of 47 per cent, leaving the next Legislature to provide for the payment of the remainder. The cost' ofnhe Slate tax commission is getting to be quite large. During the past month the registers of deeds and other eoun^utWvcra who bare furnished lists of rffortguges and other in forma tiojn have been paid, and the total expenses of the commission for the month were $6,000. A large number of clerks are now being employed by the commission, and If the growth of the business continues ns it has in-the past it will soon exceed in point of expense any other department iu the capital, save that of the Attorney General.

CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE. Caterer William Latimer is deserv­ ing of much praise for the elegant banquet he served for the low price. The tables were beautifully set and handsomely decorated with smilax andZcarnations, while the service pro­ vided by the ladies of the Evangelical church Dorcas society was all that could possibly be asked under the somewhat difficult circumstances. The music for the occasion was fur­ nished by the Middleville and Hast­ ings bands and the Middleville glee club, and was very fine. It was so cold that it was impossible for the bands to play in the open air, the in­ struments freezing, but inside they did themselves proud. The glee club* was encored repeatedly, and their music was deserving of highest praise. Judge Smith did himself proud as toastmaster, and added in no small degree to the pleasure of the evening by his trite remarks. The menu cards were very handsome affairs. and were from the job rooms of the Banner office, al Hastings. They were preserved by every ban­ queter, as a souvenir of the occasion. Many prominent Republicans from around the state were present at tbe banquet, among whom we noticed Auditor General Roscoe Dix, Frank Waite of Sturgis, a member of the state central committee, A. L.

Coroners' Inquests arc well known among tbe Chinese. One of the chief differences between their system and ours is that the Chinese doctors never dissect, hi fact, Chinamen have a per­ fect horror of dissection. There are few things more absurd than the code of rules la hl down for the Chinese coroner. In the first place be is biddeu to make sure that he has a dead body before he Itegins bls in­ quest. That, however, is less ridicu­ lous than It sounds, for the heathen Chinee is tricky and may demand an. Inquest ou a sham deceased with a view of extorting money from some person who may be denounced as hav­ ing caused the death. The preposterous part of the code conics in with regard to the uilegt-.i signs which show the cause of death. If the deceased is supposed to have been poisoned. rice is put Into his mouth aud then taken out and given to a chicken. Its effect on the fowl de­ cides the question. Most of the other methods-adopted are even more absurd and fanciful, and as a result Inquests in Chinn do very little to prevent crime.—Cbicag< Some time ago the dend letter office In Washington received a foreign let­ ter addressed to the ’’First House in America.” The chief .clerk of the puz­ zle bureau sent the letter to the Fed­ eral barge office of New York on tbe theory that this would be the ■ fljst bouse entered by n foreign immigrant landing In America.

FINANCIAL BILL IS LAW. President McKinley Affixes His President McKinley signed tbe finan­ cial bill Wednesday afternoon, after it had been signed by the president pro tom. of the Senate in open session, and immediately the measure became a law. In explaining tbe provisions of the bill Secretary Gage said: "The bill reaffirm* that the unit of value is the dollar, consisting of twentyfive nnd eight tenths grains of gold ninetenths hue and makes the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to ma intai* all forms of money issued or coined at' a parity with this standard, it puts into the hands of the Secretary ample power to do that. For that purpose the bill provides in the treasury bureaus of issue and redemption, and transfers from the general fund of the treasury’s cosh $159.­ 000,000 in gold coin and bullion to the redemption fund, that gold to be used for the redemption of United States note* and treasury note*. The law permits na­ tional banks with $25,000 capital to be organized in places uf 3,000 inhabitants or left*, whereas heretofore tbe minimum capital hns been $50,000. It also per­ mits banks to issue circulation on all classes of bond* deposited up to tbe par value of the bonds, instead of 90 per rent of their face, a* heretofore. This ought to make on immediate increase ia national Lank circulation of .something like $24,000,000. National banks arc per­ mitted under the law to issue circula­ tion up to an amount equal to their cap­ ital. The total capital of all national banks is $41111,000,000. Tbe total circula­ tion outstanding is $253,000,000. There is, therefore, a [tonsibility of an increase in circulation of $383,000,000. ” ? CHURCH AND CLERGY.

This Is the assertion of Surgeon General Wyman of the United States army and It Is indorsed by medi­ cal experts generally. So far as known only t—o cases of genuine bubonic plague have been found In the United States. These were brought luto New York last fall on a steamer from San­ tos, Brazil, where the disease is now ■epidemic. There was considerable alarm when the fact of the presence of the plague was known, but this quickly passed off when It became evi­ dent that the quarantine regulations in this country are such that it is almost impossible for a disease of this nature fospread.^ Since then vessels have been continually arriving from Santos, but no new cases of the plague have devel­ oped. “So far as the United States is con­ cerned." says Surgeon General Wyman, there Is absolutely no danger of a bu­ bonic plague invasion. The plague Is essentially a dirt'disease; it cannot thrive where the people ace cleanly, and well-nourished; or where modern methods of sanitation prevail. It Is found in its worst stages in lands like India and Chiun, where the natives are dirty In their personal habits; where the very soil is saturated with filth; where there is an utter lack of anything like sanitation even o( the crudest kind, and where the |H*ople’?’bodies, weaken­ ed and emaciated by Igck of proper’ food. Invite disease." Most Deadly of Diseases. Under the conditions obtaining in the Orient, the bubonic plague is the most virulent and deadly of diseases. The symptoms manifest themselves in from twelve hours to twelve, days after the •ystem absorbs the insense: the usual period being about four days. At first the patient complains of high fever, a swelling ot the glauds of the thigh and groin, and sometimes of the neck. ;iialtiktally becomes delirious. The crisis^ reached in from two to eight days, gen­ erally in forty-eight hours, if life can i>e prolonged for live or six days the chances of sucebssfu! treatment are greatly Increased. As a rule, however, little can be done, to save the natives of the countries where the plague is epi­ demic. A few of the well-nourished ones escape:_of the rest death claims an average of from 50 to 100 per cent, of the total number of cases. This tear­ ful mortality is liest shown in the fol­ lowing figures, furnished by Dr. Wy­ man: Bombay, cases 2204)07. deaths 164,083: Hong-Kong, cases 1.600. deaths 1,641; Formosa, cases 2,468, deaths 1,866. Strangely enough this death rate varies greatly accordtag to nation­ alities. Fki^m statistic* obtained during (he prevalent ofThe plague In Hong­ Kong the following official shewing is made, the percentage being based on the total number of cases reported: Chinese, ft”, deaths out of every 100 per­ sons attacked with the disease; East Indians, 77 out of every 100; Japanese, 60; Eurasians. 100; Europeans. 18. This small relative percentage of mortality among Europeans Is attributed to bet­ ter blood anti stamina, and to the suc­ cess of treatment In the early stages •f rhe disease, the intelligence of the European leading him to call In a physi­ cian at the first sign of trouble, while the ignorance and prejudice of the Ori­ entals prompt them to conceal tbemaelresabd reject medical aid.

Even the breath of a patient Is not necessarily poisonous, the greatest source of danger Ireing in the discharges from the swellings. All this being granted, the question will naturally arise. Why. then, should the disease rage so among the Orientals? The assertion that the plague is not usually Infectious or contagious In the ordinary wny applies only to people who are ordinarily cleanly in their hab­ its. To tnobo acquainted with the Oriental uo further explanation is nec­ essary.

A temperature of 17G degrees Fahrenheit kills the germs In live minutes, and so­ lutions of .corrosive suhllmaie. sul­ phuric acid, or hydrochloric acid have the same eflect. Tltc consulting committee of public health of the French Government has framed the following rules for the treatment of patients: A patient stricken with plague should be isolated and kept In a state ot the utmost cleanlluesK the persons charged with bls care alone to have access to him. The attendants should observe the following precautions: To take neither food nor drink in the sick-room; never to take food without washing the hands with soap and a disinfecting 9 A4R4/A1* -■ St AH03 PROGRESS OF THE PLAGUE ACROSS THE PACIFIC. outset.

As a precautiouary measure the whole family were subjected to inoculation, and the same measure of treatment was offered to the native* domestic*. Some accepted and escaped Infection, while six who declined on the ground of religious scruples were all stricken and live died. A more crucial test could not hav» been devised. The bubonic plague. Dr. Wyman as­ serts. is the same old plague that for centuries past has made Its appearance at Intervals in various countries to claim Its tribute of thousands upon thousands of human lives, and which has been known In turn ns the Levan­ tine. Oriental and black plague, and black death. The mere index to the lit­ erature on the subject—a simple enu­ meration of titles with authors—covers forty pages In the Index catalogue of the library of the surgeon general’s office of the United States army. Of late years, with the Advance of civilization ami the adoption of intelli­ gent systems of hygiene, sanitation, quarantine, and medical treatment, the field of the plague has Iwen narrowed year by year, until now it is almost ex­ clusively confined to countries like India and China, with occasional out­ breaks in such ports as Santos, Brazil, where the conditions are fully ns Invit­ ing for an epidemic as they are in the Orient. \ In view of the alarm caused by the appearance of the plague nt various places In Europe hist .lune. July and Au­ gust. an International congress of pub­ lic health bodies were called to meet nt Brussels on Sept. 4. when the prog­ ress of the pestilence throughout the world and measures for Its suppression were discussed. Many valuable experi­ ences in quarantine measures, disinfec­ tion and treatment of the disease were related. At this conference the history of the pertllenbe, tinder the various names by which It has ben known nt intervals during many centuries—as l^vantiue. Oriental bubonic and "black death”1-was gone into at length. The present specie's of plague was declared from comparisons to be similar to and to have the same derivation as the epi­ demics which periodically have.depopuIn ted vast regions of the world, be­ ginning as early as 500 years B. (’. Fighting the plague with fire and death—quick obliteration of human be­ ings at the gun muzzle nud the utter extinction of dead bodies In the ashes of funeral pyres—Is an excess of horror In connection with the progress of the dread black bubonic scourge. The cus­ tom of the disposal of bodies of plague victims by the Russian army officials in Manchuria is invariably that of in­ cineration. Between July 6 and 15 last over 300 coolies employed on the rail­ road work near Newchwang. who t»ecame infected by contact with coolie laborers sh!pj»ed from Hong Kong, and who disclosed unmistakable evidences of having the plague In Its first stages, were rounded up nud shot by the ■Cos­ sack soldiers employed in guarding the camps. Their bodies were piled on logs, saturated with petroleum and burned. In efforts to stamp out the disease in Honolulu the officials burned every im:»os*ibk* for the United S:^-s to aban­ don either Porto Rico ur the rlullppmes. He held also that the cuusfitution ex­ tended. to a certain extent, at least, over the acquired territory, aud that the inhrabitauts of Porto Rico were citiacn* of the United States. ■ ’Comparing our nulhorify in Cuba .and in Porto Rico, Senator-Morgan declared thxt resistance to American authority in Cuba would be as much rebellion as it is in the Philippirtr*.

'cause we • hain’t knowed what to think. They’re to meet at Averill’s at noon or thereabout and fix up some plan, ef the horses don't turn up-afore that time." Fifteen minutes Inter. Dick. Mr. Boone and the' messenger frpnt Averill’s rode away together. As they came opposite Mr. Porter's they’saw Wayne silting in the doorway, with a singing book in his hand, humming over the tunes to be sung at the next session of the. singing school. “Hello!" called out-Dick to Samani hy. who was standing at the kitchen window, evidently wondering about the cavalcade she beheld. "Did you know there were horse thieves about this morning?” He watched Wayne as he asked the question to see what effect the words had on him. The singing teacher looked up from his book for a moment as indifferently us be might at the soqnd of any voice- bean! unexpectedly, butk^ither <jjd- not under­ stand what hod been said or felt no in­ terest In it, for, when he saw who the speaker was, he dropped his eyes upon his bcok ugain and went on with his singing. "You don’t say!” cried Sa man! by. com­ ing to the door, all excitement in a mo­ ment. "Whose bosses have b’en took?" “AveriU’a. near Deer Creek.” answered Dick, with his eyes on Wayne’s face. But its quiet, unconcerned look baffled him. "Well. 1 inns' say that's cornin' purty clus home," remarked Sanmnthy. "1 wouldn't wonder a bit ef they got 'round these diggin's 'fore long. Hope they’ll ketch ’em an’ string ’em up." “Tell Bera,” called out Mr. Boone. “Mebbe he’ll want to turn out and help hunt.” “I will so,” answered Hamauthy. ■ Then the party rode off. it was joined by several others before they reached Averill’s, where they found quite a crowd assembled. Old men. .young men and boys were there. It seemed ns it all the male portion of the community had tarned out to help hunt horse thieves. The excitement was intense. Each person had a theory of his own to offer. Each person also had a plan of his own to propone and advocate respect­ ing the search.* The consequence was that it was nearly two o’clock Ix-fore they began to do anything. “You didn’t see or bear nothin* o’ stran­ gers las* night, did ye?" asked Bill Green of Dick as they .stood together, waiting for some plan of action to be decided on. “No. Haw would 1 be likely to see anything of them?" asked 'Dick. “ 'Tisn't likely they came around Mr. Boone's.” "I didn't s’pose they did come ’round Mr. Boone’s,” re»i>ontJed BIH. "But yon wa’n't there all the time. • 1 didn’t know but you might ba’ hoerd Bathin' when you was down this way last night." “Aren't you mistaken about i»y being down this way?" Asked Dick. “No. I hain’t," answered Bill, stoutly. "I kind o' reckon that you s’piciuncd 1 sec ye. Was you out sparkin'?" Bill asked bis question ar random. When be asked it, Dick thought of the idea be had bad of railing on Rhoda, and taking that knowledge of his intention into consideration, along with the fart of bis having acoomjranitsl her home sev­ eral times from ringing school, on the strength of which ocrurrepce Bill Green had prophesied a match, it seemed to him that Bill must, in some way, have an inkling of what bis intentions Off the night before had been. «ud hr could not keep down the color from his far". He saw that Bill’s Auspicious were aroused in, some vague way, and. di*liking the fel­ low so he did. that made him indignant, sad he turn«-d away with the remark that he didn't know : Uni it was anybody's “It locks mighty curl's to »♦,” Bill == new of a bloodhound on the scent of a fleeing fagitive. ' “This is getrin* to be mighty excitin’.” whisjH-red Bill to himself. “1 wonder what It’s goin’ to amount to?” Two or three drops of cold perspiration broke out on Bill’s forehead »< the thought of horse thieves cn^pe into his mind. At heart be was a coward. Horse thieves stood to him for all-that was des­ perate and dangerous. To be near them was to be on the brink of a preciptoe. He fully realized the awful danger he might be in should Dick prove to he one of those dare-devil characters nud- hsp•pen to discover him. But he wasn't goIngjto back out now. He hated Dick too much to give up while there was a chance of discovering something against him. * iTo be <s>Dt)nue<l..i , ■ Copyright. 18!M, by Robert Rouarr’a Sons A Tradition Explodsxt The jiopular belief that all women are afraid of mien han been exploded, says the Philadelphia Record.

CalllNloM Seems Imminent Between Fronck and Kufflsnd. The military ritnation in South Africa bov occupii-!. a secondary place-la the attention of the British Government, and a London correspuud<«t asserts that the entire rr-sourers of the empire are being utilized in {(reparation*, to meet a graver danger nearer home. No other inicn’rpt’,f^,n ’s poarible of the extraordinary measure* for defense undertaken by the Government, which in­ creased instead of diminishing after the tide of war had turned -in the British favor. Preparations for naval mobiliza­ tion, the Queen’s personal call far volun­ teers. the Governmeut’s appeal to th< colonies to prepare to put every available man In the field, the Queen’s abandon­ ment of her proposed continental trip, her sudden decision to visit Ireland, the preniutnre issue of the budget, and the floating of the popular war loan came in quick succession. Apprehension* beeame more definite when it was learned that France had tried unsuccessfully to in­ duce the Sultun to reopen the Egyptian question. While the fact that there is at’ present no subject at diplomatic controversy be­ tween France, or Russia, and Great Brit­ ain apparently tends to minimize the chanees of a clash, there seems to be do reason to doubt that these countries have been constrained to recognize the dangers latent in the present attitude of the French public. Not even, when the Fashod* incident was under discussion have the French people manifested such hos­ tility towan! England as they show at the, present time. The action of the French' Government in strengthening its defenses at various colonial stations seem’* to indi­ cate that, while it officially maintains its pacific relations, 'it recognizes that the stress of public sentiment might become too strong to admi( of further continued restraint iji case some slight point of difference should arise. It is <mpossible just now to discover any pretext which should give occasion for hostile maneuvers on either side, but Great Britain now, as at the time of the Fashoda affair, is evidently holding itself in readiness for any emergency. The mo­ bilization of the fleets and the call upon the .colotftes for more troops "in case of dangers threatening from other quar­ ters" are significant; nnd it must not be left out of account that Russia at a critical time still keeps a force hovering along the border of Afghanistan. Per­ haps the most reassuring feature of the situation is the fact apparently that Rus­ sia Is not yet ready to act. Great Brit­ ain sreinM to be well on the way to vic­ tory in South Africa, and with every British success the inducemcnu for for­ eign intervention are lessened. It Is not to be believed that the French Govern­ ment would willingly act on the aggres­ sive without an assurance of the support of Its nominal nliy. Russia, apparently, is the key to the situation, which, if not menacing, is at least sufficiently grave to have caused anxiety among even the more sober mind­ ed a:.d more thoughtful Frenchmen. Without Russia, France would be play­ ing a dangerous game to aggravate any further the present strained situation. Whether or not, in case France did over­ step the bounds and -Great Britain’s at­ tention were to be divided between two wars, Russia could refrain from making use of its opportunities is a question.

It Ik said, views with alarm the giant strides made by the big packing firms toward control of what fins been for many years a profitable line of business. These con­ cerns have for a year or more been making layge additions to the capacity of their poultry packing plants, and. further than this, they are represented to be now reaching out for mastery over the ehlckeu-prmluciug territories of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois nnd the Northwest. The margin of profits in the poultry-jjacking business has been good for thone who operate on a com­ paratively small scale, and it Is no wonder that (be big packing firms should undertake to monopolize a field for which they have exceptional facili­ ties in'matters of transportation, stor­ ing and market-reaching.

The case has occupied two week* and wax,the most notable criminal trial in the history of the county. Every ef­ fort was made by the defense to prove the defendant of unsound mind, hut the jury thought otherwise. The crime for which Trombley was convicted was the murder of his Wife aud child on Jan. 1. 18115. He cut'the former’s throat, then set fire to the bouse, bls child being suf­ focated. Trombley was pronounced in­ sane by a commission of ph/slciaw and sent to the Pontiac asylum, front which he escaped last November. He was trac­ ed to Canada and arrested. Ludington attorneys with one accord unite In confirming the surprising state­ ment thnt not a single tax title acquired in Mason County during the past five years is worth a dollar. .

The most interesting paper Is a’trapshttiun ot the minutes uf a meeting of the Filipino junta at Hong Kong on' M.ay 5, JSl>8, four days after the destnietion ot tbe Spanish squadron by the American ships under Admiral Dewey's command. Al that meeting it was decided "tu pre­ pare the Filipino people to'figbt the Unit­ ed States if this Government declined tu give them independence, nad measures were taken to secure arms for the Tagaloga, thus confirming from officl*| Fili­ pino sources the belief thaf the outbreak against the American troops near Ma­ nila od Feb. 4. ISUlt. was the result' of a carefully prearranged plot. At thr junta's meeting on May 5 Aguiazido, who had ju«t arrived at Liong Kong from 8ing«|k>re. was elected pres­ ident of the committee. He told of "ne­ gotiations" between himself and the American consul at Singajiorc. The lat­ ter had reepmmended that Agninaldo con­ fer with Admiral Dewey regarding the proposition that*the Filipino leader go tu Manila in one of the American cruisers. Aguinaldo did nut wish to go without first securing a previous written agree­ ment with Dewey, for he raid If tbe lat­ ter once had him in power he might com­ pel the signature- ot any agreement de­ sirable. Therefore he urged the. apjK»iutment of a committee to call upon Ad­ miral" Dewey and ascertain the intentions of the United States regarding the Phil­ ippines. Then, he said, if intervention by him were necessary, it would not be out of tbe way for him to go to the Phil­ ippines, procuring by sach mean* as he could obtain succor for the fatherland. Unless then- were a previous' contract with Dewey, Aguinuldo further stated, the adnFirul ’might not “divide the arm#men^. necessary to guarantee the happi­ ness of the fatherland." lie also, refers to the fear that by taking up arms against Spain he would lose his share in the $4’10,(X»o which had been deposited in the Hong Kong oud Shanghai banks for the purpose of ending the insurrection. The minutes show that Agoncillo fav­ ored sending Aguinaldo to the Philip­ pines, where, as president, he “would be able to arouse them to combat the de­ mands of the United States if the latter colonized thr country, and would drive them (the Filipinos) it circumstances ren­ der it necessary to a titanic struggle for their independence, even if later they should succumb to the weight of the yoke of a new oppressor." According to the minutes the members of the junta voted unanimously that Aguinaldo and the other officers uf the Filipino republic should go at once to Lu­ zon, organize the government, and take measures to bring about the independence of the republic. This action was taken nine months before the outbreak of hos­ tilities beoveen the Filipinos ana Ameri­ can forces. AGREE ON “OPEN DOOR.” ChiiiCMf Proposal. The correspondence between the De­ partment of State aud European govern­ ments iu regard to the "open dtx»r'' in Chinn was sent to the House committee on foreign affairs Tuesday afternoon in response to a resolution introduced in the House by Representative Cummings of All the great powers—Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia and Italy— hare agreed to Secretary Hay's proposal for the maintenance of the "open door” iu China. Our conditions, which have brought affirmative replies from all of the powers, are as follows: 1. That each, within its "sphere of in­ fluence" or lensed territory in China, should pledge itself not in any way to interfere with any treaty port or vested right within the "sphere" or territory un­ der lease.. 2. That in all ports within the "spheres of influence” except free ports, all mer­ chandise landed or shipped. Irrespective of nationality, shall pay the Chinese treaty tariff for the time being, aud the duties shall be paid to the Chinese Gov­ ernment. 3.

The scouts have been doing effective work and while they are constantly inviting death in the ‘ discharge of their duties the glory that brings with it the plaudits of the world has ifc>t been within hailing distance, as scouting is not the kind of warfare ac­ companied with red light and a brass band. The difficulty of removing the wounded, always great, is intensified in rocky, hilly country like South Africa, and especially with the cavalrymen, who have to depend upon a bearer company on foot to remove them for the surgeons.

His iveath and Rival of President Kruger-Beat British at Majuba Hill. The death of Gen. Joubert, was an­ nounced Wednesday by way of Lorenzo Manines. Two days previous Pretoria dispatches told of the serious illness of the famous Boer chieftain. .. Gen. Pietros Jacobus Joubert, com­ mander general of the Transvaal forces, better known as Pict Joubert, or “SHen Piet" (Slim Peter), was born about six­ ty-eight years ago. He was descended from an old French Huguenot family which settled in South Africa many years ago. He was born in Cape Colony, but was taken by his parents, when 7 years old, to the Orange Free State,^whare he was^taught from early childhood to shoot straight and hate the British. He is de­ scribed as having been utterly fearless. Of schooling he had but little, and he nev­ er saw a newspaper until he was 19 years old. In consequence of the acquisition of Natal by the British his family moved from Natal and settled in the Transvaal. Soon afterward he became a burgher of the South African republic and a daring fighter. Lt was during the wars with the natives that Joubert became acquaint­ ed with Pau! Kruger, and the two men became bosom friends. He was .elected vice-president of the Transvaal in 1896, defeated 8ir George Colley at Majuba Hill in 1881, and actM as president’of the republic in 1883-1884, during Kruger's absence in Europe. Gcu. Joubart was always in favor of the use of force '-instead of diplomacy, and PresMent Kruger on several occa­ sions had great difficulty in repressing his hot-headed colleague, notably in 1870, when Joubert, with Kruger and Pretorius, was planning the rebellion to over­ throw British rule in the Transvaal. The result was Majuba Hill and the practical independence of the Transvaal. It wan Joubert who organised the army of the South African republic, later on. dividing the country into seventeen mili­ tary departments, and cnch of these de-’ partments into smaller divisions, with commandants, field cornets and lieuten­ ants of various ranks in charge. Accord­ ing to the general's plans, every man be­ came a trained soldier without leaving his farm, and had bin equipment ready a hand. To such a point of perfection was the system carried that within forty­ eight hours after the present war was declared the Boer nation was under arms. It was nlso due to Gen. Joubert that the South African republics succeeded in amassing the immense stores of war mu­ nitions and provisions which have stood them in such good stead during the con-, flirt now ih progress. When the Jameson raiders were locked up in Pretoria jail Joubert was strongly in favor, of their immediate execution. It was not until Joubert and Kruger had been closeted together for a whole night that the more merciful counsels of Kru­ ger prevailed. In November last it was reported that Ge"n. Joubert had been killed in action, and later reports said be was dangerous­ ly wounded and had to use a cart in or­ der to follow the operations in tbe field. j| WAR NEWS IN BRIEF. Maj. Gen. Prettyman has been appoint­ ed military governor of Bloemfontein. Mr. Wessels, president ot the Raad, has gone to England tu solicit public sympathy. Gen. Kitchener is credited with thr bulk of the work, but Gen. Roberts gets the bouquets. . Twelve thousand shells were thrown into Ladysmith, killing thirty-five of the garrison and wounding 188. It is estimated that Gen. Buller and Gen. White lost 0.182 men during the operations around Ladysmith. By the time Lord Roberts reaches the Vaal river he will command some 80,000 men, while Gen. Buller will have 4U.OOO. The Dutch rebellion in Northeast Cape Colony seems to be collapsing. Kitchener has lieen pouring British troops into the district. The British war office has issued a re­ port xhowing that the total number of casualties in South Africa has been 14,­ 911, exclusive of 905 mtn who were cith­ er accidentally killed or died from diaThe total estimated expenditure on tbe British fleet for tbe twelve months from April 1. WOO. to March 31, 1D0J, is plac­ ed at $137,613,000. Montagu White confirms the rumors that the Boers will utterly destroy Jo­ hannesburg if forced to do so. Pretoria could not be defended, he says, if Johan­ nesburg were permitted to remain. Cecil Rhodes says there hare been only 30.000 Boers in the field altogether, and that the foreign mercenaries were only about 15.000. The numbers of the Boers, he aaid, had been exaggerated in order to explain tbe British reverses. On Saturday tbe Senate the bill providing for a civil govemMst for Porto Rico. Accepted u statue «f Oliver P. Morion from the State of In­ diana to be placed In Statuary Holl.

The Hoose agreed to the conference report on the Porto Rico relief bill by a vote of 135 to 87. Passed the bill appropriating $1U.OOO for plans for a Grant memorial to be erected in Washington. Mr.-Foraker. In charge of the Porto Rican bill In the Senate, on Monday an­ nounced that, beginning with that ses­ sion. he would press tbe measure to a vote as soon as possible. The Alaska civil code bill was under consideration during the greater part of the session. An amendment was agreed to fixing a license upon almost every kind of trade and commerce in the district ot Alaska, the licenses ranging from $10 to $500 per annum. The measure had not been dis­ posed of at the conclusion of the scsMiun. The House entered upon the considera­ tion of the army appropriation bill. Mr. Jett*(Ill.) criticised tbe policy of rushing officers through the high grades of the army just prior to retirement. Mr. Cox (Tenn.) nnd Mr. Ridgely (Kan.) opposed generally a permanent increase of tbe army an prejudicial to the best interests ot the country, and Mr. Meyer (La.) dis­ cussed the Philippine policy, opposing the retention ot the islands. On Tuesday the Senate agreed to the conference report on tbe pension appro­ priation bill. Devoted the rest of the day to debate on the Alaskan civil code bill and the Porto, Rico problem. In the House there was lively debate during the consideration of the army appropriation bill. The charge that the Porto Riean tariff bill was the result of n deal for raising a Republican campaign fund was again referred to by Mr. Pierce (Tenn.), but Mr. Hull declared the anonymon* author of the charge would never dare to avow himself and be branded as * falsifier. Mr. Sulzer (N. Y.) made nn ap­ peal for the extension ot official sym­ pathy to the Boers in their struggle for independence, nnd Mr. Lentz of Ohio de­ livered a scathing denunciation of mili­ tarism and tbe war in tbe Philippines. This attack aroused the indignation of Mr. Marsh <111.), who declared Mr. I^ntz's speech was a disgrace to Con- The Senate on Wednesday agreed to vote on.tbe Porto Rico bill Tuesday af­ ternoon, April 3. Listened to a speech by Mr. Davis In support of free trade. Amended tbe Alaskan civil code bill by declaring void all permits’heretofore giv­ en to mine for gold in tide waters under the jurisdiction of the United States and allowing all citizens of the United States to do such mining under regulations im­ posed by‘organized mining districts. De­ feated the Morgan free coinage amend­ ment to the Porto Rican bill by a rote of 16 yens to 33 nays. In executive ses­ sion the Democrats broke a quorum and prevented confirmation of the appoint­ ment of William D. Bynum as a member of the board of general appraisers at New York. The House devoted the day to consideration of the army appropriation bill. Several minor amendments were adopted, and about half the bill was con­ sidered. Mr. Driggs (N. Y.) created a diversion by charging reel|iess extravagnnee in the fitting lip of the transport Snmncr and precipitated a lively tilt upon the subject. He gave notice that later he should ask the House to investigate the subject. The conference reports on the urgent deficiency and the pension ap­ propriation bills were agreed to. The Senate on Thursday agreed to the conference report on the <li)»l<MDnti<- and consular appropriation bill. Heard an extended speech by Mr. Beveridge in sup­ port of free trade with Porto Rico. By a vote of 13 yeas to 32 nays refused to strike out the committee amendment to the Porto Rico bill imposing a duty of 5 cents a pound upon coffee 'imported into the island. By a vote of 16 yeas to 33 nays refused to strike out the pro­ vision (or a duty of 15 per cent of tbe Dingley law rates on products of Porto Rico imported into the United States. The House passed the army appropriation bill in a form only slightly modified from that in which it came from the commit­ tee. One of the auw$idinenti« adopted opens the soldiers' homes to the officers and men of the volunteer and regular armies incapacitated by service during or since the Spanish war. An incident of the day was a defense of the War De­ partment against the charge of reckless extravagance iu the fitting up of the transport Sumner, made by Mr. Driggs of New York the previous day. Mr. Par­ ker (N. J.) produced thr itemized exI*-uses furniahed by the War Department to show there had been no extravagance. Vincent Barring's right to his seat from the eleventh Kentucky district was con­ firmed without opiwsition. His seat was contested by Mr. White, another Republican. The Senate on Friday heart!

A large number of farm­ ers purchase bran, and It will be to their interests to endeavor to know something of the various kinds on the market, ns a falling off-.jp the nutri­ tious elements jof the bran used may really cause it to be expensive.

Invention of a Woman. This novel hitching i»osr is the inven­ tion of a woman. It consists of a pipe or hollow frame, mounted on a suftable base aud provided with a hinged cap or cover. Inside this frame a hitch­ ing strap, colled on a shaft actuated by a spring' and carrying a snare or swivel at Its end. Is adjusted, so that It can be unrolled and attached to the horse's bit in the usual manner. This construction re­ sults in a convenient and neat arrange­ ment, as tbe strap is automatically wound up on the spring drdjn when not in use and tbe frame and cover protect It. It is always- ready fo); use, and if tbe cover is locked or bolted and the frame firmly fastened In the ground, meddling by small boys or vandals is prevented. Iowa ns are thoroughly aroused to the executlou of a new law requiring weeds In the nighways to be cut at a proper time. The statutes require thnt if In any ease the weeds of lands In the public roads are not cut before Aug. 15 it become* the duty of the rood supervisor of the township to take the In baud. In the event that the nd owner does not within three days heed the written reminder given him of the law's requirement, then the su­ pervisor shall causb the weeds on such land to be mown, and he shall make return of his bill for tbe work at a rate not to exceed $2 per day, which shall be paid from the district road fund. The amount so paid Is then entered up and levied against the lands on which said weeds have been destroyed and collected by the county treasurer the same as other taxes. Auditor Millln, of Taylor County, has stated in the newspapers that the call for copies of the road law bearing on weeds was so great that the edition became ex­ hausted, after which the same was printed as regular advertlslg matter in the newspapers of the State.

Golden’s Story of Conspiracy to Kill Democrats in Kentucky—Wit­ nesses and Lawyers at tbe Trial Are in Fear of Assassination. . The trial* of Caleb Power* and other Republicans for the alleged assassina­ tion of William Goebel are almost certain to involve Kentucky in ' the worst feud ever known in the State. -Already the Republican* of Lon­ don have publicly an­ nounced that no Democrat an ever mike a public speech Ar­ dor. to make a speech a committee will wait on him and tell him that he cannot moke a Democratic sivceth there, and if he insist* he will lx- shot as soon a* he rises to begin his address.” The examining trial ot Caleb Powers was continued at Frankfort Monday be­ fore Judge Moore. F. Wharton Golden wvut on the stand for cross examination by the defense. Golden, in his testimony Saturday, told of the alleged plot to kill Goebel. During the hearing be said: “John Powers told me they hud two nig­ gers here tu kill Goebel. They were Hockersniith and Dick Coombs.” Tbe morning of the shooting,” continued Gold­ en, “Jolla Power* said to me, 'Goebel is going to be killed this morning.' 1 said: ‘This must not be done. We must go and sec Caleb.’ .John Powers saw him: I didn't.” . Golden, wht> claitns to have been a friend to Secretary of State Caleb.Pow­ er* and his brother, John Powers, for years, gave testimony that was particularly , damaging to John Powers, but he also brought iu the name* of *iany others, in­ cluding Charles Fin­ ley, W. II. Cultoa aud Claimant Gorerncr Taylor, in his story of the bringing of the mountaineers to, Frankfort previous w. it. cvltox. to the assassination. Mr. Taylor, how­ ever, wa* not directly implicated. Gold­ en’s testftnony tended to ijhow that a plan was made to bring several hundred "reg­ ular mountain feudists” to Frankfort, who would, if necemwry. as Golden ex­ pressed it. "go into the legislative hall nnd kill off enough Democrats to make it our way.” The testimony did nut show that the alleged plot to kill Goebel was part of the original, plan, nor did it con­ tain the mimes of those who conceived that, idea. It did show, however, that Caleb Potvrrs gave Golden money with which to pay the why uf the feudists to Frankfort. Witnesses and lawyers figuring in the trial of the Gorbcl suspects are living in daily fear of assassination. Col. Jack Chinn has received many threatening let­ j ters, while Attorney Campbell, chief pros­ ecuting counsel, says he d<»e« uot expect to .A be allowed to live through the trial. It is now alleged by the prosecution thnt the murder of Goebel was the result of a plot, cunningly exe­ cuted. The plot, it is said, involves Chief Justice ilazlerigg and Judge Poyntci* of the Court of Ap­ peal*. The State asserts it - can show that it was the purpose of the plotters to kill Goebel Monday instead of Tuesday, but on thnt day he wa* surrounded by so many friends as be walked into the State House that it was impossible to get a good idiot at him. TRUE TO HER FIRST LOVE. Romantic Reunion oT Lover* Who Quar­ reled one! Separated. The marriage in Waterbury. Conn., re­ cently of Thomas Connors aud-Margaret Fitxmnurice is the culmination of a ro­ mance in which there are love, a quarrel, separation and happy reunion. A dozen years ago Connors and his bride were sweethearts iu Ireland. There came a quarrel over some trifling matter unc they drifted- apart. Neither would spea> the word of reconciliation, though each eagerly awaited u chance tu meet it with pardon. Mr. Connors came to America and settled himself in Chicago. There be became a good mechanic and saved hi* money against the time he should hear from-Margaret. She wafted two years and also came to America, finding a home in Waterbary. Here Patrick Driscoll, a thrifty wire worker, paid court to her, but she would not give him her promise. He wa* per­ sistent. and she at last, thinking thnt her first lover had gone out of her life for good and nil, accepted Mr. Driscoll. Their wedding day arrived, but the bride­ to-be wa* not at the altar. She could nut, forget the old love. Tbe story of the wedding that failed got into the papers, and so Mr. Connor* heard of Margaret. He wrote, tefling her of bis long years of faithfulness, and asked hey to pardon him and reinstate him iu her affections. Tbe wedding re­ cently was the result. New* of Minor Noto. Th?

Hutner's force to Crocodile Pools, which i* fully con­ firmed by the British war office, leaveo the relief of Mateking entirely dependent upon the advance ot roe column from • Kimberley. The tactir* of the Boer com­ mander were excellent’. He did not allow Plumer to make too close an approach to Mafrking, but drove .back his outposts and advanced guard arid then attacked the British camp. Col. Plumer, finding himself - in the presence of a superior force,, retreated from Ixibatsi northward. Hi* losses were slight. The Boer com­ mander, having prevented the raising of bthe siege, can- now return to Marking aud resume operations there. After a week ot Bloemfontein dis­ patches telling of dally Boer capture* and surrenders the new* of the attacks oe Plumer is a slight shock to British com­ placency and wakens the public to the fact that" the spirit of ‘the Boer* outside of tbe Free State is by n<» menus broken.

Hi* forces are still ar Warren­ ton. forty miles north of Kimberley, and apparently hare not yet crossed the Vaal river.

Mr. Heath Write* an Ofilcial Jitter on “Political Activity.” I a a letter to Representative. Minor, First .Assistant- Postmaster General Heath has set forth the attitude of the Posto'fiice Department on the "political activity” of postmasters. The' letter says: holder* arc neither di.-franchlsod nor forbidden the exercise of political privileges. A just discrimination in this regard is ensy. in the light of a correct appreciation of the relation between the people and those intrusted with official place. This has been construed by tbe Postmaster General to furbid postmas­ ter* from making their [tostufficea.the ren­ dezvous of politician*, nnd the place where political subjects orc diBcasaed, and also forbidding them from neglect­ ing their duties by ovcractivfty in polit­ ical matters; but it is not intended to pre­ vent iHMtmasters from the free exercise of all their privileges, the »atne as any other good citizen.” CANNOT BURN CHINATOWN. Dunger to Adjoining Property Deter* San Fruncisco Authorities. The Sun Francisco papers now admit that bubonic plague exists there. The health board announces that it will con­ tinue a daily inspection and cleansing ot Chinatown tfor thirteen days. A auspi­ cious death1, is said -to hnv© occurred ia Waverley place, Chinatown. Thursday, but before the, inspector reached the house the body had been spirited away and concealed, the friends of the dead man evidently fearing an autopsy. President Williams of the board of health say* some of the buildings in Chinatown are iu such bad condition that nothing short of lire could eradicate* germs if they exist there. The move, however, is not now contemplated, as such a men sure would greatly endanger the city, Chinatown being located in the heart of the downtown district. CHICAGO POLITICAL TRAGEDY.

SENATORS ENACT TARIFF MEAS­ URE FOR PORTO RICO —rrnrrorn menta aud on tbe Bill Itself—Repub­ licans in Opposition. The Senate at Washington passed the Porto Rico bill Tuesday afternoon,by a vote of 40 to 31. The normal Republican majority of seventeen was reduced to a Republican majority of six, to which were added the votes of one Democrat aud two silver men. Tbe Itrpubllean Senator* who refused to vote for the bill were Davis and Nelson ot Minnesota, Mason of Illinois, Proctor of Vermont..Simon of Oregon and Wellington of Maryland. Senator Hoar of MasshchuM.*tts was ab­ sent and paired agahist the bill with Sen­ ator McEnerny of Louisiana, the one straight Democrat who was 'pledged to suifport it. Mr. Beveridge of Indiana was also absent', aud. though paired- it* favor of the Davis' and Nelson amend* menta for free trade, his pair was for the bill on its final passage. He was tbe only one of the opposing R.-pnblicnn Sen­ ators whose vote was ahifted on tbe las! roll call. There were three roll call* in the Sen­ ate—on the Davis amendment creating an internal revenue district of Porto Biro, on the Davis amendment for free trade, and on the passage of the bill. On the Davis amendment the vote stood 3U to 40. The Nekton free trade amendment was lost by a vote of 29 to 41. These were the only test*.votes on amendments. A number of other amendments^ proposed by Senator Foraker, were adopted and several proposed by the opponents of the bill rejected without a roll call. Then came thg vote on tbe bill. The only changes were in Teller, who deaerted Jhe Republicans to vole against the bill, and the release of Mr. Hanna by the transfer of his pair to Mr. Beveridge and voting for it. making the vote 40 to 31.

JB ^*5 It appears that the action of tbe Hnpretu,* Court iu declaring a simile mtiuib of the tax law unren^titutional, a* it did recently in the caw ot th** Citizens’ Hav­ ings Bunk against th** auditor general, is likely to cause the department a large amount of work and occasion the repay­ ment to holders of Blate tax deeds of a large sum of money. A tax tide dealer said tbe other day that the decision would •.nuke the big balance in the Stale. Treas­ ury look like thirty cents, as the holders of the deeds which arc invalid will be entitled to a returji of their money. The section of the law declared void is No, 143 of act 220, of 1897. Th.- section wa» designed to acf as a statute of liinitatkHi and to bar owners of property from dis­ puting in any way th* validity, of a tax sale, under which their property had been sold unless question was raised within six month* after service of the notice of purchase. The court does nor tench tbe question as to the right of the legisla­ ture to pass such a statute of limitationK, but the decision is based on the ground, that there are provisions in section 143 that are directly antagonistic to it* spirit. The effect of the dedaion will be that where notices have been served, property owners will have the same right to make defense that they would have had if tbelaw hnd never been passed. Deeds which) have been held back waiting for the de- ’ cision will now be returned to the audi­ tor general for 'cancellation and refund­ ing. • , Labor Commissioner Cox has compiled: the result of interviews with 1U2 real es­ tate dealers in various sections of the State. Ninety-five of these report real estate more active than one year ago. Only three say values have decreased. The average increase in values reported is 18 per ceqt. More than two-thirds of the dealer* report increased sales. Busi­ ness • confident and lower interest rate* are the reasons assigned for increased* activity, as are better prospects for agri­ culture. the sugar beet industry and min­ ing. The largest sales are iu farm lands. The registrars of deeds of thirty-four counties report an average of 34 per cent fewer mortgages recorded in 1809 thaw the year previous, while thirty-six conn-* ties report an increase of 12 per cent. The greatest decrease has been in farm mortgages. In the matter of mortgages! discharged the reports are even more en­ couraging. Fifty-four registrant report an average of 21 per cent more discharg­ ed last year than in 1898, while only elev­ en report a less number discharged. In­ terest paid on mortgaged property has gradually decreased. State Superintendent Hammond of the department of public instruction has beru devoting considerable attention recently to the subject of manual training, and be has now issued n circular on the subject. The principal idea of the circular is that over DO per cent of the working popula­ tion of the United Sutra cam their liv­ ing by their hands, and that, therefore, the body should be trained in the public schools as well as the mind. Tbe last, census shows that the intellectual pur­ suits, which are those-of clergyman, law­ yer. lecturer, phyaician. ’ anthor, teacher, edit<it aud reporter, were followed by 32,­ 420 persona in the State of Michigan, while the pursuits requiring the exerciae of manual labor were followed by ?14,535 persons; and it is argued that the in­ terest of the larger rirnhber are many times greater than those of the more or less professional class. The Supreme Court has*declded a case involving the question of control of Cath­ olic Church property which has beets pending in that tribunal since last Octo­ ber. Bishop Foley filed a petition to re­ strain certain of his people from building on land owned by Ju tn as bishop. The answer denied his ownership and claim­ ed be simply owned the land in trust for their particular church society. The court holds that the regulations of the church, gave the bishop complete dominion over tbe church property and whether thi* provision be wise or equitable it is upon such n trust that the defendants must rely. Having failed to justify their acta under this alleged trust, the bishop is held to have a right to insist that his possession uf the property be not disturb- The State tax commissioners have evLdentiy abandoned the idea of taxing sav­ ings dei>osita since the recent agitation on that subject. Blanks had been pro­ posed on which property owners were re­ quired to make oath as to“tnooey in bank nr on deposit, either in^uational, eouamercial, savings or private banks, trust com­ panies. or with any other person or per­ sons." After a meeting of the fax com­ mission held in Detroit the other day tbe auditor general was wired not to send out the blanks containing the above quesand the only reference to the subject of money* is as’ follows: “Ail moneys on hand or in your possessionor in your con­ trol or in any safety deposit vault.” It will be* seen that the question of depos­ its Is wholly eliminated. I. H. Butterfield and Prof. L. R. Taft of tbe Agricultural College have secured a flock of Sixty Angora goats and will try the experiment of raising them in Michigan.

The British marched to the Bloemfon­ tein water work*, south of tbe Motlder river, where they camped until 4 o’clock Saturday morning. At early dawn the Boers opened a hot shell fire from the rear. Col. Broadwood rent off the. con­ voy and-batterie*, the rest of the force remaining as a rear'guard. The convoy marched into a carefully prepared am­ bush in a deep spruit, where a strong force of Boers was concealed. The whole detachment, together with five guns of Q and two-gun* of U battery, were cap­ tured. Broadwood’s report to Lord Rob­ erta contains no details, but state* that he lost seven guns and all the baggage. He estimates his casualties as 350, in­ cluding overd 200 missing. Bushman’s Kop, from ’ which place news comes of the capture of a British force and a number of guns, is probably the Boesman's Kop, which appears on the British war office map, about fifteen mile* east of Bloemfontein. Apparently the Boer*, strong forces of whom temporarily evacuated Ladybrand, turned back, after getting their convoy* into safety, to attack ’the small British force. The n£w* generally further con­ firms the reports that the Boers are fac­ ing Lord Roberts aud Gen. Methuen, and that they hnve greatly recovered their morale. The correspondent* vary regarding the value of the bottle near Karee Siding, some claiming that the 200 casualties were fully recompensed by the clearance of the road to Brandfort. Others doubt this.

A Boer dispatch from Kroonstad says that Gen. Smuts engaged the British Thursday at Mofel Kop. south of Brand­ fort, and held them at bay for six hour*. The burghers fought well. The casual­ ties are not known. A dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland, say* that President Steyn is reported to be at Ladybrand, urging the burghers to persist in their resistance to the Brit­ ish. He has issnid proclamations and manifestoes against the enemy who ha* come to destroy the independence of the republic*. A Cape Town dispatch say* that an ar­ my order has been issued abolishing the title of the Free State railways, and or­ dering that hereafter they be known as imperial military railways.’ The correspondent of the London Moan­ ing Post, telegraphing from Bloemfon­ tein, says that the Boer losses in the bat­ tle near Karee Siding station on Fri­ day were probably Inconsiderable. The British battery in the right center was unable to go into action on account of the nature of the ground. The colonel of the Norfolk regiment had two horses shot from under him. Side Lights on. the Boer War. Tbe Dutch settled in Cape Colony near­ ly twenty years before the Pilgrim Father* landed on Plymouth Rock and tbe first year of the seventeenth century that the Dutch East Indies Company landed tbe first party of Dutch farmer* In whnt is now Cape Colony. Bo in this present fateful year the Dutch are com­ pleting the third century of their sojourn in South Africa. It was not, however, till 1G51 that they erected a fort on the present site of Cape Town. A British medical corps officer, writing home from Ladysmith in January, de­ scribed a scene in which a party of Boers, under tie Red Cross flag, helped to bury the British dead. "There was one very touching Inddcnt,” he wrote. "After our major hud read the burial service one of the Boers stepped out and said a shor. prayer, hoping the war would soon end, and while we stood with heads uncov­ ered, they sang a hymn in Dutch." The distinction of being the first sol­ dier. officer or private to be recommended for the Victoria Cross'during the pres­ ent war belongs to Capt. Congreve of the Rifle Brigade. At the battle of Colenso this officer made a most gallant effort to prevent some of the British guns from failing into the hand* of the Boers. ' Col. Baden-Powell, the gallant and re­ sourceful defender of Mafeking, has quite a remarkable sense of locality. He la able by some instinct to find his way about a totally unexplored country, and always to turn up just where he wished —or thereabout. The native* think he Is “uncanny.” Colenso, the town in which tbe British forces have bcm operating, and which has figured frequently hi the dispatches from the seat of war, is named after Dr. Cokuso, formerly bishop of Natal. Hia memory is still revered by tbe Boers, for whom he is said u> hare done an immenae amount of good.

Tbe Senate passed the Porto Rican tas» iff bill on Tuesday by a vote of 40 to 31. The Hou*e entered upon consideration of the substitute for the Senate Hawaiian territorial bill under a special order. The debate was in committee of the whole, and only three of the six speeches werepertinent to the bilL Mr. Knox (Mass.), chairman of the committee on territories, delivered n carefully prepared speech in advocacy of it* passage. Mr. Robinson Hnd.) criticised a section in the bill, which, he eaid. continued ip force labor contract* existing in Hawaii, denouncing it n» legalizing n system of wage slavery Mr. Mondell (Wyb.) spoke generally in support of .the bill. Mr. Lane (Iowa), one of the Republicans who opi>oscd the PortoRico tariff bill, made a vigorous speech, reaffirming hi* position, and warning hi» Republican associates that the country would not support an unfair policy towardthe Porto Ricans. Mr. Thomas (N. C.), Mr. Williams (Miss.) aud Mr. Bout<-11 (Hi.) discussed imperialism. Peace was restored before the Senate couvcned on Wednesday and during theproceedings of the session there »ns only a reminder of tbe harsh language used just before adjournment Tuesday. The session opened with a lively and interest­ ing discussion of the status of the Quay case, in the course of which Mr. Wol­ cott apologized for tin* language he had u»ed Tueaday, -disclaiming any intention of being offensive to gnybody, least of all to his friend Mr. Lodge. The Colo­ rado Senator made a vehement nnd elo­ quent appeal for early action upon the Quay ease, lie was supported by other friends of Mr. Quay, and it was decidedfinally to take up the case Thursday, un­ der the unanimous consent agreement made on March 16. In accordance also with that agreement tbe Spooner bill was made the, unfinished business, there­ by bringing tbe Phi lippine question to a direct issue in the Senate. In the House there was an exciting scene as the cli­ max of a discussion of the Kentucky sit­ uation whgp Mr. Wheeler, a Kentucky Democrat, nnd Mr. Pngh. a Kentucky Republican, faced each other from oppo­ site sides of the main aisle and indulged in a wordy duel. Mr. Pugh charged Mr. Wheeler with misrepresenting certain fact*. He was laboring under great ex­ citement. Mr. Wheeler showed admira­ ble temper, aud, though quick to resent tbe fancied insult, awaited the*exp!anation of Mr. Pugh, in which he disclaimed any intention of imputing to him person­ ally a desire to distort the facts. Through­ out the debate, which was precipitated by Mr. Boering. the other Republican member from Kentucky, there was an air of suppressed excitement. It was the first time the subject .had licen broached in -’tc House, nnd intense interest was manifested. Mr. Lncey of Iowa conclud­ ed the debate with a general denunciation of the Goebel election taw. This incident overshadowed the other speecBe* on the ’Hawaiian bill, many of which were ir­ relevant. Mr. Gallinger presented an argument in the Senate on Thursday against the seating ot M. S. Quay as a Senator from Pennsylvania. He devoted himself al­ most entirely to the constitutions! phases of the question. Most of. the day was spent in executive session on the HayPanncefote treaty. In the House when 4 o'clock, the hour fixed for taking a voteon tbe bill to provide territorial govern­ ment for Hawaii, arrived, less than hair the bill had been covered and so many amendments remained that it was agreed to continue the consideration of the bill under tbe five-minute rule until It wa* finished. Several important amendment* were agreed to, among them the fullow­ ing: To nullify all labor contract* in the island*, to prohibit tbe sale of intoxicat­ ing liquor in saloons, to limit the land holdings of corporation* to 1,(MM) acre*, to substitute for the House provision re­ lating to the appointment of judges and other officer* of the island the Senate provision. The House provision lodged the appointing power in the Governor, the Senate placed it in the President. Mr. Deboe gave notice In the Senate on Friday that be would move to refer the credential* of former 8enat«w J. C. S. Blackburn as a Senator from Ken­ tucky to the committee on privilege* and election*. During the greater part of the season the Scute had under considera­ tion the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Sullivan delivered a speech in favor or tbe rearing of M. 8. Quay. The Houre pgwed the auUtitutc for the Senate bill providing for a territorial form of gov­ ernment for Hawaii. Odd- -nd Eml*.

The progress of the war has the onerous burden* caused by the war tax. initiative legislation will be taken in the lower house of Congress, where sev­ eral hearings and hnmeron* petitions have already Im*cu rvcurdwi, designed to obtain reductions in the special tax on articles‘which-It is cl&imed ««■ now excrmdvely levied upon to pay the expense* of the Spanish-American war. The food stuffs, medicines and financial documents of exchange upon which the special stamp tax is levied Are most likely- to be favored. The war revenue stamp taxes if not re­ pealed will produce during the next fiscal yent about $45,dOO,*M10 of surplua reve­ nue. The United States needs no"’war chest” like Russia or Germany. There is already a surplus of $15ft<XMM)9U iu the treasury. That surplus needs no ad­ ditions. Then, It is argued, why should Congress hesitate to repeal those unnec­ essary and irritating taxes which are forced on the attention of the people when they buy mOdiciucs, send telegrams or express packages, take amt ln»urnncc, purchase land, give notes, draw checks, or make contracts? A prominent mem­ ber of the ways uud nn.-ans committee said the other day that he ctlhsiderwl the taxes on proprietary nietlicines burden­ some and unnecessary, and expressed the belief that they should be among the first to l>e done away with. It is altogether likely that the first features of the law to be repcftlril will be those relating to taxes upon such medicines and others which do not yield much revenih*. and are troublesome to those who have to fix the stamps.

An important * case jvns argued the other day before the Suprpme Court af­ fecting the'.validity of the druiu law and the co*t of construction of thousands of culverts running under railroad property throughout the State. In 18SJ1 what is known as the Harris drain was built in Windsor township, Eaton County, run­ ning alongside the Chicago and Grand Trunk. It was decided to deepen, widen mid straighten the d'raiq in 18UN. and the raiiroud company was ordered by the drain commissioner to construct a culvert under its tracks. The roiiipnny sent in a bill for $111.05, claiming that the law was invalid and that its property should be condemned by proper proceedings so as to fix the damage clniuietl. In the ' L’onrt the company was beaten. Old soldiers are interested In a decision hauded down by the Supreme Cour: the other day in the case of Hiram R.

OXNARD BILL IS PASSED BY THE HOUSE. e A 33 Again«t—Debate Limited to Four Not Bead. The national House of Representatives on Wednesday afternoon completed its record on the Porto Rican tariff bill'by concurring, iu all the Rennie amendments. The final gote was 101 in faror of the bill and 153 against it, with eleven mem­ bers present aud not voting. Ibere were nine Republicans who refused to vote for the bill but voted agnlnst it. They were: Lorimer of Illinois, Warner of Illinois, Crutnpaeker of Indiana, Laue uf Jowa, Hcury C. Smith uf Michigan, Fletcher of Minnesota, Heatwole of Minnesota, Lit­ tlefield of Maiue, McCall of Massachu­ setts. These nine Republican* wiped out the Republican majority of eigbxeeu in the House by voting against the party. The majority for the bill was made up of "Democratic vote*. Had all the Demo­ crats rated against the bill, tbe nine Re­ publican votes that went against it would have calmed the vote to'break even. The Republican leaders secured^ by one vote, the adoption of a rule allowing four hours’ debate on the motion to concur in all the Senate amendments. The result was the adoption by the House of a civil government bill for Porto Rico, which was not read in it* entirety in the House. The contest over the bill began with the session of Wednesday. The committee on rules-brought iu u rule limiting the debate to four hours and fixing the time for the final vote ou the motion to concur at 5 o’clock. There was forty minutes’ debate allowed on the adoption of this rule. Trtre was bafl temper evident .on both sides ot the chamber in the begin­ ning, nnd intemperate language was used by the leaders on both sides. The rule was then submitted nnd was adopted by a vote of 158 to 142. Eight Republicans voted against it. They were Littlefield, McCall, Cnimpacker, Lori­ mer, Warner, Heatwole, Lane and H. C. Smith. Mr. Fletcher of Minnesota voted for the rule, but afterward voted against the bill. Announcement of the result was greeted with applause, and the House then settled down to the debate upon the bill. Speeches in favor of the bill were made by Messrs. Watson of Indiana, Hopkins of Illinois, Dolliver of Iowa and Chairman Payne. Its passage was op­ posed by Congressmen Lorimer. Warner of Illinois, Cnimpacker of Indiana, Mc­ Call of Massachusetts and II. C. Smith of Michigan. BOTHA SUCCEEDS JOUBERT. Good Soldier. Gen. Louis Botha, the ablest by far of the Boer generals, is the new com­ mander-in-chief of the Boer army, suc­ ceeding the late Gen. Joubert. Botha is a brilliant soldier and an able strate­ gist. He was at Swartkop and Spion kop when Buller crossed tie Tugelp. He was in front of Ladysmith and Botha was fighting with a cunning which the conservative correspondent* present say was unsurpassable. He covered the tone 2' Ji '' u OKM. LOUIS BOTHA. of fire in front of his lines with English dead and wounded, and he brought off his guns and men every time a retreat or change of base was necessary. The,re arc many other able soldiers among the Boers. Commandant Olivier performed a brilliant feat in-landing his army of 5,000 men and a wagon train, twenty-five miles long, between the Brit­ ish lines audjhe Basutoland border, with­ out losing a gun, a wagon or a man, al­ though tbe British cavalry was scouting all over in an endeavor to reach hi* Hues nnd cut off his retreat That was strat­ egy of a high order and military critics regard the retreat as one of the most mas­ terly on record. ■ Tom Kelly is another strong command­ er. He ranks among thv first, although little heard of yet-. He is in charge of the Zontpansberg department, and has 20,000 Kaffirs under him. He is a ram­ pant Boer agitator and as fond of fight­ ing as a Matabele warrior. Then there are Gens. Smet, SehalkBurger, Delarey, Frans Jotibert. son of the dead commander-in-chief. Henning Pretorius, Moyer and a boat of others, all af whom have already distinguished them­ selves. Besides there are many French, Russian aud German officers, who are able strategists aud artillerists. An Irish convention in the interest Of national unity will be called to meet Dublin. Mineral production in the United States this year -will reach a value of nearly 91,000,000,000. Denmark’s islands in the West Indies cost the Government 975,000 a year more than their revenue.

The debite took a wide range, tbe whole question of-sectarian school* being gone over at length. The Datable feature ot the disensrion was an eloquent apceeb delivered in support of the amend­ ment by Mr. Vest. The amendment wa« pending when the Senate adjourned, tbe vote upon it disclosing the fact that no 'quorum was present. Tbe House paid trilflite to the memory of the late Richard Parks Bland of Miamiri. popularly known as “Silver Dick” Bland, who was a member of the House for twenty-six years. Splendid eulogies uf tbe life and career of the great champion of silver were offered by members on both sides of the political atsle. At the conclusion of the ceremoniea the House, as further mark of respect, adjourned. A resolution was adopted calling upon the Secretary of War for information as to whether Charles E. Magoon. the legal adrirer of the insular bureau, had ever rendered au opinion that, bj the treaty with Spain, the Constitution was extended over Por­ to .Rico and the Philippines. • After some further discussion-the Sen­ ate on Monday rejected the sectarian school amendment to'the Indian appropri­ ation bill offered by Mr. Jones (Dem­ Ark.) by a vote of 30 to 16. As has been the practice for two or three years, tbe free homes measure was offered as an amendment to the bill, but it was ruled out on the point of order that it was gen­ eral legislation and therefore not ger­ mane to an appropriation bill. Without division, the bill was passed. The meas­ ure carries abouj $8,414,UQO.. Ad unsuc­ cessful effort was made to agree upon a date for a vole on the resolution relative to the seating of Mr. Quay a* a Senator from Pennsylvania. During the last tw« hours of the session the Alaskan civil code bill was under consideration. An amendment offered by Mr. Hsnsbrongh concerning the title to mining claims in the Cape Nome district provoked a warm debate.

In the Senate on -Tuesday unanimous consent was given for n vote on April 24. 4 p. m.. on a resolution relative to seating M. S.‘ Quay a* a Senator from Pennsylvania.

Tbe bill was unanimously reported by the committee- on naval affairs, and that it was passed without serious ob­ jection is regarded as o compliment to the committee.

During almost the entire session the Senate had under, consideration the Alaskan civil code bill. The amendment providing for the mining of gold along the beach in the district wns perfects, after a discussion lasting nearly four hours. In the House consideration of the naval appropriation bill began, its pro­ visions being explained by Mr. Foss, the acting chairman of the naval ^committee. The Senate on Tuesday heard Senator Hoar speak against the retention of the Philippines, and then rwumed considera­ tion of tbe AlMkon civil code bill. In the House the second day of ddbate upon the naval appropriation bill wait confined closely to the subject matter of the bill. The questions of armor plate and the building of warships in Government yards attracted most attention.

Mr. Sjxxjner antagonized both the original and substitute amendments, hold­ ing that the courts ought to settle the con-’ flirting claims (without interference by. Congress. The House spent the day con­ sidering the naval bill in committee of the whole. The most important action was the striking out of an appropriation, of $100,000*for the use of the nary in making surveys and charts of the waters of oar new island possessions. The regu­ lar appropriation of $10,000 was put in the bill, the work to be done by the coast and geodetic survey. Spread of the Sect 1* Alarmine Do* minion tjiliciul*.

Frank Rleppl, a non-union Chicago la­ borer employed by the Western Electric Company, was probably fatally injured by four men, supjtoscd to be union pick­ ets, who assaulted him, one after the other, as he was gong home from work. The men were not arrested. The Build­ ing Contractor*' Council announce that the m?n employed on the Western Elec­ tric building will be housed and fed in the same manner as those employed oa the Merchants’ Loan and Trust building. All of the prominent members of_the Contractors' Council arc protected by po­ lice. Many arc also carrying revolvers. Police Inspector Hartnett supplied them. It is claimed , that the police heard pf a plot to assault some of the members of that body. Officers in citizens' clothes are closely following these men to pro­ tect them from injury. An attejnpt by the contractors to bring labor from other Stales to work oh Chi­ cago buildings was foiled Monday when the union pickets intercepted twenty Italian workmen imported from New Or­ leans and persuaded them not to go to work nt the Western Electric building. The men when they arrived at the build­ ing were met by a delegation of their GRAND PALACE OF FINE ART AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION. States section is likely' to be the most creditable tlL-q>lay_ this\<umt£x_Jia» ever made across the ocean in that picturesque bazaar of nations called a world’s fair. As far as recorded there are 39.0U0 ex­ hibitors from France, 6,564 from the United States, 2,500 from Belgium, 2.OOU from Germany, 2.000 from Italy. 1,500 from Russia. 1,400 from Norway aud Sweden. 1.000 from Austria, 600 from Great Britain and (100 from British colo­ nies. Up to this time the United States has shown more interest in the exposition than any other country except France. The exposition opens with slwut SO.iXM) exhibitors on the books, against 17,000 at the World’s Fair in London in 1851, 4.100 at the World's Fair in New York in 1853. 23,954 at tbe World’s Exposi­ tion jn Faria in 1855, 28,<153 at the World’s Fair in Lox-don in 1862, 50,226 at the World’s Exposition in Paris in 1867, 70.000 at the World’s Fair in Vi­ enna in 1873. 30,864 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, 40,­ 266 at the World’s Exposition in Paris in 1878, 55,000 at the exposition iu Paris in 1889. and 65,422 exhibitors at the World s Fair in Chicago in 1803.

The grounds of the present exposition in Paris are greater in extent than the grounds of 1889, but do not com­ pare in extent with the ground* at the Columbian exposition in 1893. SHIPPER MUST PAY THE TAX. Court Decides Stamj, Caae la Favor of KxpreiM Companies. The United States Supreme Court de­ cided the cases involving tbe stamp tax .a* it applies to express packages, tbe question involved being whether the ship­ per or tbe carrier shall pay the express charges on packages. Tbe opinion was handed down by Justice White, and was favorable to tbe express companies. The case eame to the Supreme Court from the ■decision of the State Supreme Court of Michigan, which decision was adverse to the claim* of the express companies. William F. Horner of Seattle, who has been serving as a private in the Four­ teenth infantry in the Philippine* for the past fire mouths, is the proud possessor of st gold ring given him by Maj. Gen. luiwton for his brave defense of the First Reserve hospital at Bacoor on the even­ ing of Nov. 27, 1890. The Advent conference at Westbrook, Mr., decided that w<-men may preach, but cannot be ordained. The famine in India extends over a territory 300,000 sqaart mdas. countrymen, and after_g parley were led away. The prospects of working behind a stockade and in fear of violence from union pickets was also a factor in getting them to desert. Mayor Harrison says that the labor unions, contractors and material dealers are all wrong, but thot the workingmen have the least to answer for. The Mayor says that tbe reports of labor troubles are keeping people away from Chicago. He adds: "It is argued that the labor unions constitute a ’trust.' Why, the ma­ terial men and contractors have been the parties who have formed the 'trust.’ To­ day not a single thing is bought by the city but we run up ngaitfst a combination controlling the needed article. I know men who have sent orders from outside points and had goodg-aashipped to this city at a cost leasflian they would have to have paid in a direct purchase. Thia thing has gone so far that we have or­ dered city purchases shut off as far as possible. We will try the Eastern mar­ kets." _______________________ HILLIS IS NOW CUT. Noted Preacher’* Resignation Accepted by Chicago Presbytery. Newell Dwight Hillis is no longer a member of the Chicago presbytery or the Presbyterian Church. The name of tbe Brooklyn preacher, who dared to re­ nounce the confession of faith of that church, was erased from the role «f the presbytery at its weekly meeting Monday morning. . Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst of the Madison Square Presbyterian Church, New York, has joined Dr. Hillis in his opposition to the Westminster confession of faith and in his sermon Sunday he said things which provoked comment. Apparently these two divines are far from being alone. There are frequent ac-. cessions to their ranks, it being announc­ ed in Cleveland Sunday, by way of illus­ tration, that Rev. S. P. Sprecber. and Rev. Paul F. Stilphen, delegates to the Presbyterian g<*neral assembly, would favor the adoption of a shorter creed. The demand for a new creed is pointed out by some as showing the trend pf mod­ ern thought in the church, and it is eviJ dent that those favoring tbe action will be satisfied with no minor changes. They win ask for a new creed—a short one— nnd the question will be one that will make the coming conference of unprece­ dented interest. .Beauvoir, recently lensed by Admiral Dewey as a country home, and into which he has moved all tbe valuables, is ROBERTS ARRAIGNS BULLER. a modernized colonial structure upon the Commanding General Kcathlngly Re­ outskirts of Washington.

Officials of the War Department now acknowledge there is do reason of further delay in granting of municipal suffrage. The census’ shows that the white native-born Cubans hold a safe.majority of the votes under the' property and educational limitations to be imposed upon the exercise of suffrage in tbe island. There are 187.826 white adult mnlcs who were born in Cuba, as against 96,083 born in Spain. 6.794 born iu other countries and 127,300 colored.

The excited and hKtoduhMM crowd made * rush for the door to see for themarives if Bill Green’s statement was true. It hardly seemed possible that .their priwiner could have duded them af tee getting out of the milk bouse, to say nothing of getting oot of it. But »u iuspection of the room satisfied them that it was empty. Tbe bird bad flown. "Who could have helped the critter to get sway?" cried Bill, black with rage and disapjxJintment. “I- tell ye what, there’s been some underhand doin’tf summere, an' nobody need tell me- there haln’t. Ef we c’d only find out who 'twas, I reckon we’d make it mighty interrstih* fer him. 1 do *0"’. "But the trouble Is. how’re ye gon’ to find oat?” chuckled the delighted Samantby, to whom the sight of Bill’s wrath was a pleasure too intense for de­ scription. Investigation succeeded in eliciting nothing satisfactory, beyond a knowledge of the manner in which escape had been made. Mr. Porter was accused of having aidec| the prisoner in getting away. This he stoutly dented, and being a man in whom bls neighbors had Implicit confi­ dence, his assertion of innocence was generally believed. Mr*. Porter, as ev­ erybody knew who knew anything about her, was too timid a woman to atte'inpt anything requiring cool and steady nerve. Wayne, as everybody knew, had no friendship for Dick, and. no one suspected him of having nssisted him in making bis escape. Suspicion seemed to center on Samanthy for some reason, and she met many darl^ and angry looks as she took frequent observations of the crowd. The suspicion with which she was regarded gave her a sense of exultant pleasure, which she could not keep from showing in her face. But none of them saw fit to say anything to her. Perhaps the neighbors were somewhat afraid of what the result might be -4f they roused her temper. Shmauthy had more than once given those who inter­ fered with her a foretaste of what might be expected when she'"got rand.” It is possible that they may have felt it un­ becoming the dignity of a man to quar­ rel with a woman. It is possible that they hardly thought it worth while, now that the bird had flown, to bandy words about the manner of his flight, since ac­ cusing any one of complicity in the mat­ ter was not going to give him back into their hands. Be the reason what it might, Samanthy was not openly charg­ ed with having helped Dick to get away from them and the penalty of tbe crime of which most of them considered him guilty. Mr. Porter was severely blamed for not having mentioned the underground pas­ sage between the milk house and' cellar. Mady were confident that if Mr. Porter or other members of the family had nor helped Dick to make his escape, they had been sure that he would let himself out of prison by means of this passage, and therefore they had .kept silent regarding it. It wa* plain to be seen that both Mr. Porter and Mr. Boone were glad thqt he And then Nannie mustered up courage to do what she had never known of *ny one else doing—she kissed Samanthy. Who tolerated tbe care**, but didn’t seem to enjoy it very. much. She had been heard to say that she couldn’t abide "huggiu’ an' kiwis’," it made her sick to see it—jest fairly turned her stomach— but In this case her stomach proved strong enough to endure the ordeal quite satisfactorily. ,. "There, that’ll du for onct,” she said, as there were indications on Nannie's part of an intention to repeat the opera­ tion. “Seems., to me It lo’oks kind o’ curl’s fer a gal to be so tickled to think a feller’s got away when’twon't no long- uiua»eu. pwwnj tM-uvaivw, everybody rise would be Mire to be there. The social feature was one ot tbe chief attraction* which the camp meeting held out to young and old hi those days.

It was so among tbe Greeks aud Tacitus says that the Romans In early times kept white horses in the sacred groves at the ex­ pense of the state. It was thought that the neighing of the horse was a slgu of victory In battle, and tbe war­ rior whose steed neighed on the eve of a conflict felt assured of success. On the other hand, if the horse failed to neigh It wa* looked on as an evil omen. In some parts of Germany part of a horse's head bung above tbe doors of stables and stalls was supposed to bring good fortune, and even among ourselves at the present time there Is a very prevalent feeling that tbe horse­ shoe brings good luck. In fact, the horseshoe, more than any other object. Is the emblem of a happy turn in af­ fairs. In some parte of Europe It is believed that a horse’s hoof under a child’s pillow prevent/convulsion* and a horse’s teeth are supposed to keep away the toothache. If a horse shies at a house, that household Is thought to be threatened with misfortune.

All the departments of education, from the university to the common acbool*. have felt* the influence of retnnnng business life am! activity.'’ Regarding the matter of teachers* institutes Supt. Hammond says b<- shall Dot in this last year of his administration attempt to give advice concerning the improvement of the sys­ tem. "The plain truth is.” he says. “I do not. myself know what would be best along this line. I am errufin, however.thut thj* institute law of Michigan enact­ ed in 1877, should be radically changed and strrtigthencd. More money should "be raised iu some way.

This is one feature of the situation *o dif­ ficult to handle. Opr neighbor States are able to pay more than we. 1 believr Michigan's iitstitutes have improved ev­ ery year under our present law, but it seems to me the time is ripe for the adoption of some strong measures to meet the dematnkof new times and new condi­ tions.” Under the heading. “State Teach­ ers’ Association," the BUiH-rintendcnt *ays some plan should be innugurnted where­ by all those attending the State asso­ ciation should IxM-otne members. l*ss than half of those in attendance at tbe meetings -are members and share in the expen*e*and it is snggesietl that member­ ship tickets be sold nt the same time ra.1!road ticket a* *a re purchased. • The text book'question i» considered ut considera­ ble length.

An eclipse of the sun that will be vis­ ible to us can occur only when the moon i* new. At that time she passes exactly between us and the sun. If an eclipse should happen when she was at her least distance from ns, sny.222,000 miles away, the apex of the shadow would pass over our head* at a distance of many (bonsands of miles. In the first instance the ellipse will be total alofig'the path made by the falling shadow. In the second instance the eclipse will be anliular, as the ipoon will lie diminished that at nu time will she be able to completely ob­ scure the sun. 1’rof. Langley, who is an authority upon sun eclipse*,' is enthusiastic in anti­ cipation of the exhibition that is to be given next May. "Such eclipses,’ ho says^ '‘are. impressive and awful to the last degree and must be seen to be ap­ preciated. A total eclipse ot the sun is worth a joutoey round the world to lie­ hold, and rr|M*liti<>n doc* not dull the in­ tercut.* According'ti»*the calculations of 1’rof. Lumsden, the round black shadow of the moon, like a great arm, will'sweep in out of space solin' time after sunrise on the morning of May 2S. This gigantic arm will come into contact with the earth somewhere near the llcvilla Gigedo isl­ ands in the Pacific ocean. With tremen­ dous velocity the shadow will rush to­ ward the-mmnlnud mid will enter Mexico, near CorricnU**, at a speed of more than 1(M) miles a minute. In eight minuti-s It will have crossed the Rocky mountains, and by 7:30 central or 8:30 eastern time it will have crossed the gulf and entered Mexico. Then on it will pas*, over its selected path, until it is lost again in space. The period of totality of the eclipse va­ ries at different points along the track. At the Rocky, mountains the spectacle will last but about thirty M-cond*. and at New Orleans the period will have'beeu lengthenwl thirty-seven seconds. At l’nion Point. Green l.’ounty. Georgia, the center of the path for the -United States, the lime of totality will be ninety-two second*, while those whb are at the At­ lantic coast, just south of \the city of Norfolk, will be able to continue their observations for 105 seconds. While the occasion will Im' a most in­ teresting one to all who are able to wit­ ness the phenomenon to astronomers the event will be of the utmost importance, us there ore several question^that they hope to b» able to answer after they have made their next observations. One of the moat important problems relates to the compoaitiou and arrangement of the various layers of rai»ofr and dust that envelope the sun us with an atmosphere. Another relates to the existence and posi­ tion of what is Miuivtimes called the "re­ versing layer.'* Qiinr termnsii'F General- Atkin*on ha* worked out a *c-hcruc whereby the Mich­ igan Nut'.Ounl Guard can hold un encamp­ ment jhl* !'Uijimcr;#hur.he Is very doubt­ ful a* to its .Ntirct•.**. a* it Mil require a considerable..*H<-rifi<-c. ou.th«* part of the men who com|M>>e thelhiard.

The company has its Own electric light and water works plant; its fire department, and. what to an inexperienced individual would appear chaotic, is as systematic and methodical as brains and year* of ef­ fort and thought can make it. One won­ ders, after watching that eqdtess string of hogs for half an hour; where they all go and from whence they nil come. It was truly a wondexfui sight, and one which Cres a man klowledge and information 1 cannot gain by reading. In the city of St. Paul we witnessed a military parade in honor of Capt. Sigsbce, who had charge of tbe ill-fated Maine at tbe time ■ of her destruction. Tbe Captain occupied a car­ riage in the front ranks and acknowledged tbe thunders of applause which greeted him along the line of march with graceful bows and military salutes. Leaving St. Paul at 10:36 p. m. we were loon asleep in bur section of the tourist sleeper, and awoke in tbe morning to find ourselves passing through western MinneI sola. We crossed tbe line into North Dakola shortly after breakfast in the dining car, and then for miles and miles there was no variation in scenery—just one broad expanse of level prairie, stretching away beyound the vision of mortal eye— not a fence nor a tree in sight. Occasion­ ally farm buildings were seen and some small towns, looking as though they had been built up above and dropped down. I think the total absence of Uyea Is what gives this impression to an eastern man. accustomed’to the beautiful forests, lovely creeks and rolling ground of old Michigan. We passed in sight of the famous Dal­ rymple farm, the largest farm under culti­ vation in the world. All through that country men were dragging and preparing the ground for spring wheat, and we were informed that one man was expected to drag between sixty and seventy-five acres in sone day. From these fertile fields we passed into what is known as tbe "bad land" of Da­ kota. a region of alkali hills aud unpro­ ductive rocks extending into eastern Mon­ tana. In the latter state we first encountered glimpses of mountain scenery—a brunch of topography entirely new to the writer. At one time tbe mountain side with roar­ ing creeks or cataracts tar below, and at another we would plungeinfctJhe mouth of a tunnel, and wend way through tbe base of the mountain. To one unac­ customed to tbe variety and magnificence of tlie scenery it is grand, sublime, in M ntana we passed through many towns made famous by their wildness in earlier days, when tbe pistol and tlie bowie knife were tbe constant companion -of every man. One of these towns particularly im­ pressed itself upon my mind by reason of past history, also btKanse of tlie fact that there was a man ou the train who had been well acquainted with the town and its in­ habitants in its pioneer days. The town I refer to is Medora. It is composed of two score wooden structures situated in a barren gulch, and tbe surrounding coun­ ter leads one to think that tbe cowboys, who were tbe town’s sole supporters, were justified in being “bad men.” Here Mar­ quis DeMorns, n French nobleman, secured a ranch, built a packing house and endeav­ ored to compete with Chicago institutions of a like nature, but. unfortunately for him. be incurred the displeasure of the cowboys, and in order to have time to Many stories we licard of shootings, mobbings, etc., that appealed more strongly to tbe mind becaune we were actually on the spot. From Medora westward to Missoula, and west of Missoula we struck what we doubt not Is tbe most beautiful ranch country in tbe world. It is known as tbe bench-land and tbe artistic eye could desire no finer picture than the one presented by the majustic hills, and safely ensconced in tbe ]>eaceful valleys, the quiet and prosperous appearing homes of the ranchers.

Yours for business, IN M EMORIAM. George Waldin Francis wan born at Canton, Wayne county, Michigan, Decem­ ber 261b. 184<. He came to Nashville in 1867. He was married lo Millie Cleona Ellis of Hastings, November 96th, 1N», with tbe early interests and growth of Nashville and was an indefatigable and untiring worker in business and social circles;. Three years ago he was compelled to retire from business life owing to the disease that had then commenced to un­ dermine his health. A year was spent in California and New Mexico in endeavor­ ing to repair his broken and failing health, but all seemed in vain. He re­ turned to Nashville and for two years .•luffhfed constantly, but bore it patiently. His end came Friday evening, April 90th. 1900, at 10:80 o'clock. He passed away peacefully. Tbe deceased xvas C3 years. 3 months and 38 days old. He was a member of the Masonic lodge, under whose auspices he was buried. He never betrayed a trust, never de­ serted a friend. He was all that the most exacting can find expressed in those words of deep and noble meaning: Hus­ band, father, friend. He loved home and family and all that make both dear to every true man. There were none against whom fie cherished enmity, and who could know him and live in hostility to him? A shaft piercing him, whether sped thought­ lessly or in malice, sank in the deep ocean of his charity, far out of sight of med. He never tried to hurt, but always to help. "Honor is the recompense of those who do right without seeking recompense.” Thus spake a wise man of the ancients, and If be spoke truly, what chaplets of honor should garland tbe memory of one of Nashville's pioneers. Modest, kindly in all his works and ways, unselfish, generpus, tender in all his relations in life; brave, steadfast in all his undertakings. He died when the shadows from tbe west, though lengthened, showed that the sun was still above the horizon aud night of years bad not yet fallen. He died before the weight of his age ^as upon him, but some solace may be found in the reflection harbored by many, that the best time to pass away is when one is in his prime, ere the powers of the mind have begun to wane and the springs of life have dried up. At least it Is a consolation to remember the deceased as be was, summoned to quit for a higher sphere of ukefullness, the life which alL sooner or later, must lay down. The goodness whidi inspired him, the judgment which guided him, the courage which animated him, the faithfulness which characterized him with other quali­ ties were happily blended. Truly all that is mortal of tbe deceased sleep well in Lakeview cemetery, and that lowly yet lofty spirit which so lately dwelt in tnat body of his, over which nature will' spread her soft green carpet—where is it! Hearken unto tbe words ot the wise men of Uz, as they float across tbe centuries, with tbe boon of assurance and tbe balm of recogniznniv. “The Lord gave and tbe Lord hath tah- ■Mtmila- A MINER'S DANGER.

All the big life insurance companies spend a lot of money each year to pre­ vent fraudulent claims from being paid, and the ingenuity with which some of these claims are planned calls for the very best detective service that the companies can command. They are willing to spend a good deal more than the amount of the policy to expose these frauds. In Finland the newspapers have suf­ fered severely from censorship and sup­ pression.

While the coal trust has practically existed for two years aud more, it has ■ever had control of the bituminous situ­ ation. although J. Pierpont Morgan, its rating spirit, bas been an important fac­ tor in soft coal affairs. But now by the alliantt between tbe railroad interests of W. K. Vanderbilt. J. P. Morgan and A. J.

It therefore must be the best possible medicine for female ills.But some women make the mistake of thinking that they will try aometliing else, simply "because it la new. Tiiat mistake ix often a fat*! onefatal to the health and happinqssof the experimenter. Is it not foolish to risk the possible results of such experiments? is it not better to depend upon a medicine which has been tried successfully for thirty years, and wWieh baa never been found wanting? Do hot therfore let any one persuade you to try some­ thing which they say is just as good. It cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink­ ham’s Compound is the best, and there can be only one best. This is not a mere assertion, but is a positive fact, admitted by hundreds of regular physicians.

Pwt Week ogFHiHao War Dead­ ly of Jia History. Las? week was one of tbe Holiest of the Filipino war since the first day's fight­ ing around’Manila. Authentic reports, mostly offlcial. show a total of 378 Fili­ pinos killed, twelve officer* and !144 men cgptnrw] and many more wounded. The number wounded b hardly guessablc. Considering that tbe Filipinos entirely lock. hospital faeiHtie* a great majority of the wounded will. die. Probably the week’s work finished 1,000 insurgents. The American loss was nine killed and sixteen wounded. Two sergeants and one private were killed in ambushes while escorting provision trains. The insurgents have been aggressive In almost every .province of Luxon. Gen. Pio Del Piliff's band, numbering 300, which was our of sight for three months, the leader being reported killed, has reappeared in-.ha old field about San Mi­ guel. Pilar is supposed to be in com­ mand again. He gave the American gar­ rison at San Miguel, consisting of three companies of the Thirty-fifth infantry, with a Gatling, a three hours* fight dur­ ing a night attack. Tbe loss ot the in­ surgents. in this tngagemeut is not in­ cluded in the foregoing total, as they re­ moved their dead and wounded, but pre­ sumably it was considerable. Twenty Filipino* in the province of Batangas attacked Lieut. Wonde. who, with eight men, was seating near Hau Jose. The lieutenant and five men were wound­ ed aud one private was killed. Sergeant Ledoius of the Thirty-fifth infantry was badly wounded in on ambush near Baliuag. Lieut.

A short time ago Robert Elliston of Maple Grove, in behalf of the people, arrested William Davis "of that township on a charge of larceny under the value of S25.00. Tbe latter plead not guilty and the trial occurred here Monday be­ fore Justice Feighner and a jury comK>sed of Messrs. Geo. Perry, C. H. eynolds, O. Z..Ide, John McIntosh, Frank Price and -J. S. Bfrfgh* Th® case began at nine o'clock in the fore­ noon and went to the jury in the even­ ing at about half past nine. After an absence of two hours the six returned with a verdict of guilty. Justice Feighner fined the defendant ♦25.00 or the alternative of forty days in the county jail. The case was apjx-aled to circuit court and Mr Davis is now out on bail. Edwin D. Mallory of this village appeared for the defendant and Howard Thomas of Hastings for the people. The story, in short, about the case runs like this. Last x fall Davis purchased a pair of bob sleighs of Nicholas Draper, for which the for­ mer was to pay 49.00 as soon us he sold his stock. Draper then again sold the same sleighs to Robert Ellis­ ton, and in company with . Elliston’s hired man Draper went to Claud Day’s Earn, where Davis bad sheltered the sleighs, and took them over to Ellis­ ton’s barn. Davis then went over to Elliston’s barn and took the sleighs borne, and for this act Elliston bad Davis arrested on the above charge. GOT WHAT HE DESERVED Last Monday A. J. Creller of Del­ ton was awarded a steady position in Ionia for a period of twenty years with the privilege of working longer if he likes the place. The following article from the Hastings Herald of last week goes into tlie details of the matter: Arzy J.Creller, a watch tinkerer, of Delton^ Delton was brought brougl before ___ „___Clement 1_____ 71. - iay,Mondi on the tnrage Smith, charge of criminal assault upon his step-daughter, Stella Briggs, aged fifteen years. Four years previous Creller was arrested for same offense, but at that time the case was not pushed through the influence of his step-father. This time his former step­ father was not related to him as di­ vorce proceedings had severed that pleasant relation. Seeing no avenue of escape, Creller plead guilty to the charge and was sentenced to twenty ; years at hard labor in the State House of Correction and Reformatory at Ionia. Yesterday morning he was transported to his new home by Sheriff S. C.Ritcbe. and thus is Barry county rid of one of its worst criminals. In this instance we must comment Judge Smith in his judgment in pronouncing the sentence. The criminal deserved it. The mother now has the custody of the child, and the county pays81.00 a jveek toward her support. VICTIM OF A WRECK O. W. Murphy is laid up at the home of his step-father, E. Lockhart, north of.the village, with injuries which will keep him from playing base ball to any extent for some time. “Pat,” as he is famiharlv known, Is a fireman on the Grand Trunk, and was mixed up in a head-end collision over at Flint last week, and it came very near being his last “mix-up.” The engine on which be was riding was derailed and badly smashed, and Pat was caught between the engine and tender, being pinned fast in such shape that he could not be extricated until the wrecking crew arrived from their head­ quarters at Battle Creek, which was over four hours after the accident. He was taken to Nichols hospital at Battle Creek, where it was found that he had three ribs broken and two others cracked, so that he is in good shape to sympathize with the pugilist who “gets a good poke in the slats.” He is able to walk arounC but it will be some time before he will be able to go to work again. He is to be con­ gratulated, however, on having nerve enough to stick to his post and do all he could to avoid the wreck. /f)r. G. A.

BRANDFORT IS TAKEN News of the occupation of Brandfort was issued byjhe British war office Fri«luy morning. It is generally considered the must important communication re­ ceived from the front since (he capture of Gen. Cronjc and the relief of Lady­ smith. The fact that lhe position gier* the key to one of the main roads to the Drakensberg passes, which possibly may l>o the means of eo-opcration with Gen. Buller later on. provides an advance base of supplier, etc., and nt tbe same time menaces the Boors now southeast of Bloruifontein. is obviously the reason for the importance attached by all hands to the intelligence. The B<mt army, which was nt Brand­ fort. commanded by Gen. Delnrey. is presumably retiring on Winburg. which will possibly lie the next immediate ob­ jective of the British. Brandfort, thirtyfive miles nearer the Transvaal capital, is now Ixird Roberts' headquarters. What particularly gratifies the British public is the evidence that the army uf Ix»rd Roberts in the Orange Free State has recovered it* mobility and is again capable of undertaking the general ad­ vance w long retarded. It is hardly ex­ pected tbe Bocrfe will make much of a stand south of Krnonstad, and possibly not there, if Ix>rd Roberts succeeds in capturing Wiubnrg. thus interjwsing lie tween the main federal army and the Ihajr torn's in the neighborhood of Thaba Nchu and Houtuek. In that caae the Inter would be forced to move far to tlie eastward, in which direction their mo­ bility would probably enable them to reach tlie Bethlehem and Harrismitlt line of safety. The only opposition which the British encountered at Brandfort seems to have come from the Irish Americas command. The Kteomvhip Jeanie aailvd Monday from Seattle. Wa«h.. for Cape Nome.

Filipino*’ Twenty Victims nt Cntnbig Avenged by Comrade*. Further details of tbe fighting at Catabug. Island of Samar, in which twenty Americans were killed and two wounded, have been received. The American gar­ rison of Cafublg, Island of Samar, con­ flating of thirty men belonging to' the Forty-third regiment, was attacked by reltels. Twenty of the Americans were killed. The remainder were rescued. The Americans were quartered in the C’atubig Church, which the enemy, nnmboring several hundred men. surrounded and fiercely attacked. The American* fought for two day* and then the rebel* managed to ignije the roof of lhe church and it burned away anil finally fell upon those inside tlie edifice. The walls re­ mained intact, however, and were used as a shelter by the berieged Americans for three days longer, the enemy \attackiiq.* the building on all sides at once. The Americans continued firing from the win­ dows and door* of rhe church, and did great execution among the Filipino*. It i* estimated that over 290 of the latter were killed, many dead bodies being re­ moved from the scene of the fighting.

Each Governor during that poriod ha* re­ fused to sign the fatal .death warrant. __ . for the brulu! mnrdcr of his wife. He now demand* that the full penghy of th*' tew be inflicted. This is the third time that Cook hs* lagged the Governor of Kansas to carry out bls official duly under |he statutes. There are sixty cunviet* in the State pen­ itentiary at Leavenworth convicted of murder and waiting only tbe slgniu^ of the death warrant by some Governor to pay lhe penalty of tbeir crimes. Out of this sixty it is *aid that twenty are awaiting eagerly,the outcome of Taylor .Cook’s ’petition. -Should Gov. Stanley conrent to sign the death warrant these twenty men will demand u like release for themselves within a short time. It has often been claimed that in dis­ regarding the statute which make* mur­ der an offense punishable by death the Governors of Kansas have inflicted a penalty tenfold more severe. This n*»crtion seems to have received verification in tbe pathetic story o( Taylor Ucxtk. When Gov. Stanley received Cook’* pe­ tition he immediately Wrote to tbe convict that in tio case would rhe warrant be signed unless upon the recommendation of the judge before whom the case was tried aud the attorney who prosecuted it. Cook -wrote to Judge Clark A. Smith, who condemned him. and to the district attorney, but neither wojiid recommend his execution. Again he wrqje to the Governor. “I have tri*i to fulfill your requi'omcnt*." he said, “and I have failed. It te not through any fault of mine. 1 now insist that you carry out your duty as chief executive of this State and-sen­ tence me to execution." It . Is believed that Cook will be adjudged insane aud ?cnt to an asylum. ' r CLAIMS AGAINST THE TURK. on Boot* and Bedding. A‘special from Washington nays that it is the purpose of the administration to continue pressing the sublime isirte to pay the American misduntfry claims pending against it, but those acquainted with the character of the claims believe they greatly overestimate the value of the property destroyed. The total loss which the missionaries at Harpoot say they sustained as a result of the out­ break at that point in 1805 amounted to $87,985, of which $43,700 represented the value of the buildings damaged. $32,077 the personal losses of the missionaries and $11,008 the loss on stuck and ap­ paratus. Bev. C. H. Wheeler apparently suffered the greatest loss. He estimate* that $0,­ 010 will be required properly to reimburse him. Among his effects destroyed were notes and bonds which he values at -$2,­ 200 and the accrued interest is put at $1,­ 500 more. Clothing and materials which i. were uu.uu^vu he possessed and which damaged be values at $1,342; furniture. $1,000; I bedding. $230; provisions, fuel and medicine, $g>0, and Ixwts and »bo$s, $35. Bev. C. F. Gates apparently wore more expensive shoes than Mr. Wheeler, for he assert* that those he lost were worth $72.

Weil, we started, and before we stopped for the night had made thirty miles over roads that their equal cannot be fonnd in Michi­ gan—thank God—and spent the night al tlie home of a rancher on the banks of tbe great Columbia river. A pretty good breaking in for the worst tenderfoot that ever came over the trail, did you say I Well, It was a good guess. I sigh for words to picture to you the pieturesqneLMtss of that ranch, located al the head of a narrow gulch, whose winding, serpentine course completely hid the buildings from view until a sudden turn brought you full upon them, it was made more .picturesque by the house itself, a one-room hut built ol poles and covered with bushes and a mud roof. Tbe bolding was about 10x18 feet and less than six feet high inside. We spent tlie night very comfortably here and the next morning made our way five miles further on to Stephenson's ferry, where an Indian named Kika ferries horses and passengers across the Columbia, which is considered too deep and swift to ford. •Ki” happened to be taking a day off. so we camped near the river, leaving word for him to be ready to put us accross the next morning. Prompt as tbe sun Ki put in an appearance in the morning and sig­ nified by grunts and grimaces that he was ready, so we packed up and started for the river. Tlie ferry boat, a large flat bottom scow, struck terror to lhe hearts of the cayuses at once, but by dint of much coaxing and more hauling, we managed to get them aboard, and the Indian cast off. No sooner did tbe ponies feel lhe motion of the boat than they began a rearing and plunging that threatened to put us all in tbe drink, and Mr. Early grabbed a rope, sprang into the water and "waded ashore, jnuch to the delight of the tendertoot who was standing iu tbe center of the scow among the plunging ponies, not knowing but each moment would be his next. Well we “retreated magnificently,’' as Lord Roberts says, and began a thlrty-milc Journey down the river to Wild Goose Bill Jongtion’s cable ferry, whore we arrived Sunday, April 15, and crossed in safety, afterwards passing up the Columbia on the north bank twenty miles, to tbe Nespelem river, about ten miles to the agency (post office Nespelem). We were now in tbe heart of the Calville reserva­ tion, where no white man ownes land save he marry a squaw, which God forbid. Either tlie Indian maidens have deterior­ ated or the poets who sang of their beauty iu the days of long ago possessed' eighty little taste, and that little, very poor. Nes­ pelem is composed of quite a settlement of Indians, many of whom have ranches which they cultivate in a caik 'Way and with but little system, while others ap­ pear Industrious and semi-intelligent. At the settlement there is a flour and grist mill, the agency store, and a school at­ tended by about thirty Indian children. Tbe stars and stripes float proudly from a flag pole 106 feet high, all one piece of tim­ ber. and tbe Indians are already making preparations for celebrating July 4 in a manner to turn the balance of the state green with envy. We camped at Nespelem Monday night and in the morning replen­ ished our slock of provisions which was diminished; then pushed osi up tlie river to our present camp, eight miles above where we are studying the country, the forma­ tion and location of mines, endeavoring to find out “where we are at.” Our camping place is an ideal one—situated in a pine grove, with running water on three sides of us and a mountain on tlie fourth, in which there are several mines. The grass, ankle deep, furnishes excellent pasture for tbe hones, allowed to roam at will. ’Mountain heather, violets, and many other blossoms unknown to me are pro­ fusely in blossom and tlie weather, since lhe second day out. has been perfect. It is so warm that we sit abound tlie camp fire evenings with coats and vests off un­ til ft or 10 o’clock, when we seek the joys of the blankets and tent and awake m the morning to find the ground covered with frost. Grouse and partridge are abund­ ant, as are also ducks -and geese, but as yet we have seen no larger game, although tbe coyotes howl us to sleep every night. Expect within the next few weeks to en­ ter a country where deer, elk and bear are not unheard of. if there are any trout in this Nespelem their too smooth for us. as we’ve been unable to induce one of them to raise to tbe fly. ■> The best of treatment has been accorded us by whites and Indians alike ever since leaving Michigan and the prospects are fairly good for striking something worth having in thia country.

We followed a man who it was conceded did the largest business in this section—“C. C. Wolcott. When we commenced it was uncertain whether we could hold bis large trade orYint. We decided to purine a policy of honent treatment of customers: selling good goods, and sell­ ing them for what we believed them to be, and for as low a price as the quality of goods could be sold; fulfilling every warranty to the letter. The results prove that policy was a wise one. My trade has steadily grown,’ and my list of customers increased, as each realized that at the end of each "year they had been well served and obtained their goods for less money than of any house in the County. We now carry the largest Hardware stock, the largest implement stock and the largest and finest Furniture stock in this section, covering -over 13000 square feet of floor space; and thus it-is that I am able to furnish thesame article for less money than any man who depends on one line of goods for his expenses. 1 am proud of the record and thankful to my multitude of friends and customers who have made the success possible. 1 shall stay by this same policy in the future, and can assure my cus­ tomers that I shall endeavor to make it to their interest to give me all their tade through the year. ‘‘There jvill be no little snap bargains and then get even next time,” but an honest close price on good goods all the time.

A high wind was prevailing at the time, and the burning brands were carried in every direction, netting fire to the roofs of twelve or fif­ teen buildings, some of them among the most expensive structures In the borough. The Milford fire department worked he­ roically and numerous bucket brigades were formed by the citizen*, and water carried in buckets to the roof* of house* afire and others exposed.

Different sections of the country and lines of business return dif­ fering reports, but that the situation as a -whole is a favorable one and suffers merely by tomparison with the enormous and almost feverish activity of some time ago is also evident.

The delegates at the conference naturally in­ clude the moit able .and experienced of church workers, and they canK^ from widely remote region*—from all juirts of thia country and Canada, from Germany, from Europe and even froth the orient. The work which this body must per­ form is arduous, and include*, besidea the consideration of question* affecting the general policy of the rhurch,. the elec­ tion of bishops and the administration of the immense biuincra involved in the con­ duct of church finances and the varioua enterprises in which tiu* church is engag­ ed. This year, moreover, several ques­ tions of vital importnnet* nud unusual in­ terest will Tome up for settlement. Some of these contemplate measures which would mark an innovation upon the ac­ cepted policy of the church. A new con­ stitution will Iw* considered: the question ot “lay equality" has been brought for­ ward: much time and attention prpbably will be given to the subject of the time limit now placed .upon the pastoral term. Aud among other things the conference is expected to witness' a warm debate between the conservative and the liberal elements upon the question of amuse­ ments and the advisability of abolishing certain restrictions regarding card play­ ing, dancing and other similar pastimes. Both on account of the character of the work to be performed and tbe eminence . qf the representative# assembled, the ses­ sions of the conference will be of wide general interest by no mean# confined to the church comrtitiioncy.

There were 157 provisional delegate* elected to fill up the disparity in their proportional repre•entation. Only eighty-five, however, re­ sponded to the roll call following their admission. The limited lay n*j^**sentation gave tin? pews 215 vote*. FdtNunia— faterial delegate# were absent. As the roll was made tip on the opening day there are 3G5 preachers and 23G laymen on the regular list. Without a dissenting vote the confer­ ence at its first session ratified the action of the annual conference in extending equal represent a tiou to the laity. The pulpit and the pew share equally in the highest governmental body of the Meth­ odfat Church.

Will Furlong came to town Ihst Fri­ day afternoon on one of his usual carousals and tried to take possession of the village at once. After stumb­ ling arouna on the streets and swear­ ing awhile he •accidentally “run up against’’ Marshal Appelman, who ad­ vised him to get in his rig and go-home, but this Will refused to do aud waa Immediately escorted to tlje “hobo mansion” at the rear of the town hall. Just before the 6:50 train arrived Appelman went over to the jail to fix the fire, at which time Furlong.jumped up from the cot,on which he had been peacefully sleeping during the after­ noon, and with tears streaming down bis fair cheeks aad in-tones of solem­ nity declared that life was no longer dear to him. He then reached into his pocket, pulled out his knife, opened it and was just in the act of cutting his throat when Appelman grabbed him and secured the weapon. Furlong then fell ou lhe cot and went into bpasmq. Drs. R. P. Comfort and E. T. Morris were called and remained with the violent patient until they got him quieted doun. At, about eleven o’clock Appelman and J. C. Furniss went over to see him, when Furlong again got up, reached in his vest pockety where he had some kind of powder, which afterwards was found to be potassium iodide, put it Into his mouth and before the boy’s could get to him swallowed the drug and then fell to the floor. He was picked up and laid on the cot again, and by close attention during the remainder of the night he came out in the morn­ ing right side up. Marshal Appelman took him before Justice Feighner where Will plead guilty to the charge of be­ ing drunk and disorderly, and paid a fine of 610.00 and costa, which amount­ ed to 63.45. On account of domestic relations Just at this time Furlong was let off rather light, but Justice Feighner gave him to understand that the next time he appeared on this charge he would be given a place in the work house. Monday of the same week Furlong went over to Warnerville and created an excitement by running out the pro­ prietor of the store and flourishing a knife promiscuously. Jasper Deeds, who lives just across the road, went over and gave Furlong a good thump­ ing which quieted him down to some extent. Will manufactures a-medicine called “pain killer,” which contains alcohol and opium together with other ingredients and it Is said that he drinks this medicine on account of not being able to buy liquor any where. This, In all probability, accounts for his ran­ corous conduct. We dislike to have anyone sent to l»enitentiary, but unless Mr. Furlong takes a lively brace he will be one of lhe victims. A few young people from this vil­ lage attended the party given by Miss Mae Benedict at the home of her par­ ents, Mr. and Mrffl Stephen Benedict, in Kalamo last Friday night. A large number was present and the evening was pleasantly passed.

The conundrum going the roiyida , which is driving a part of IMTpeople in Cold wafer to the verge of insanity is, “What is the difference between a kiss through a telephone a straw hat?” To save die reader from nervous pros­ tration by trying to guess it, the an­ swer is set down quick. “Because neither one is felt.” Kindly omit flowers. . The Scientific American gives this recipe, which is invaluable to all: At tlie first indication of diphtheria in the throat of a child make tbe room close, then take a tin cup and pour into it a quantity of tor and turpentine, equal paits. Then hold the cup over a fire so as to fill the air with fumes. The little patient, on inhaling the same, will cough up and spit out the mem­ branous matter and the diphtheria passes out: fumes of the tar and tur­ pentine loosen the matter In the throat and thus afford relief.

The method is simple, easy, and absolute­ ly safe. _______ Prof. Chisholm, the world’s greatest musical wonder, entertained a few peo­ ple at the opera house Tuesday night. He cleverly played five instruments all at once and the music was first claa^i. The legerdemain entertainment given in front of the opera house was also very fair. Several needed improvements in the sidewalks of the village have recently been made, but there are yet some left which ought to receive attention. Property owners should themselves have some pride in this matter and not wait to be notified before they take any action. Fred H. Allen, adjuster for the Mu­ tual Life Insurance Up. of New York was in the village yesterday and paid to Mrs. Millie C. Francis *5,000, the amount of life insurance carried in this company by the late Geo. W. Francis. This is commendably prompt, as Mr. F.’s death occurred less than a month ago. The Battle Creek Journal of Tues­ day has the following: Albert M. Smith of the Thornanpie Valley Coal A Oil Co., left this after­ noon for the fields and will start a large force of laborers working to­ morrow morning at 7 o'clock. He will superintend the work for the present. A sufficient equipment of tools is on the ground and the work will be rushed. A party of Nashville fishermen went to the lakes north of town Wednesday to plant them with wall-eyed pike, furnished by the state, fish commis­ sion. Nearly all of these lakes have now been planted with black bass and wall-eyed pike, and if the pot fisher­ men will let them alone for a few years we can have as good fishing as there is in the state. The state game war­ den will give them a little looking after on his own account, and It wifi be a serious matter for any depreda­ tors apprehended. - LOCAL - and CLIMATIC Olivet’s high school team drove over here last Saturday, and although the local squad was pretty badly scared Nothing but a local when it was made known that the vis­ iting team brought with them a cracka-jack battery, yet our boys mustered up courage and started out with the CATARRH. determination of winning.

At New Market rovements on the building, which purchased by O. M. McLaughlin of A. S. Mitchell a short time ago, were completed this week and the store is now one of the finest appearing structures on Main street. Instead of the old rickety shell that formerly gave the cast side of the street a gloomy appearance we now have a building with a handsome plate glass front and one that is up-to-date in every particu­ lar. The lower rooms have been plas­ tered, painted, papered and generally improved, making them suitable for a business location. The rooms on the second floor were converted into office parlors and with no exception they are the best the village affords. Mr. McLaughlin has furnished the two front rooms and will use them for his insurance and other business. As to what use will be made of the lower floor mention will be made later. The common council would do a f ood turn to the wheelmen of the vilage if it would pass an ordinance rel­ egating them to the streets altogether. Some few of them would kick about It at first, of course, but they would all be better satisfied in the end. Take Washington street, for example, where the wheelmen are not allowed on the walk*. The wheel* have made a side­ path which is much better riding than any sidewalk in town, and the same thing would be true of all the other streets if they were not allowed to ride on the walks. It would be a little harder riding at first, but a good path would soon be found along everv street in the village, and any wheel­ man would prefer a nice smooth path to the finest sidewalk that ever was built. Leaving the question of the safety of pedestrians out of the dis­ cussion entirely, it would be belter to pass such an ordinance, solely for the benefit of the bicycllste. There are but few towns left in the state where the wheelmen are allowed to ride on the walks, and Nashville should not be one of them. LOCAL BRIEFS. H. A. Hadsell and Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

The business man whose advertise­ ment seldom, if ever, appears in the local newspaper is the one who whines the most about people sending away to mail-order houses for goods. He can’t appreciate the fact that it is ad­ vertising that diverts trade to the city store and the neglect of advertising that causes the country merchant to lose touch with the people. While those who make a practice of trading with out-of-town houses are to be cen­ sured, yet the home dealers should make public the bargains they have to offer the people and thus induce the buyers to leave their money in the community in which they live. �thieve* THII S' BEGINS. into tear* ■‘Don't you go to tryiu’ to bOrnly, but Are Gradually Forced "If we did Lsuppose you’d hang us," cried Nannie, Indignantly.

The convention rejected the plan to leave tbe nomination for vice-prc*idvn<-y open pending action by the-Democratic gath­ ering at Kansas City, but preferred to forestall that body and if posable influ­ ence its action. Both uotuina'llons were made by acclamation, but n lengthy de­ bate preceded tbe selection of a man for second place. Six names iu addition to that qf Mr. Towne were jilneed before the delegates, but all candidates declin­ ed or »thcir sponsors withdrew tbeir names, so that the Minnesota man had the field to himself, making a formal bal­ lot unnecessary. Contrary to the expectation of some of the delegates, the resolutions aroused do debate, but were adopted with enthu­ siasm a* presented by the committee. Tbe long financial plank of the platform, in­ cluding the denunciation of the recent banking law, and especially tbe demand for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, was rew’ived with wild cheer­ ing. The demand for an inheritance tax also received a round of applause.. Vig­ orous cheering was also accorded the reading of the plank on transportation, the demand for the abolishment of all. tariffs on ••trust” goods, and the indoraeiii.-nt uf tbe initiative and referendun^ Cries of “Goodl” “Good!" greeted the de­ nunciation of the administration’s Philip­ pine iwlicy and the ’ Pofto Rican .tax.

All these were brittf and jjointed and full of praise for the candi­ date. The sfieakers were led off by St*Dator Allen of Mr. Bryan’s own State and he was followed in quick succession by Gen.

Then toward the close of the afternoon session began the real contest of the con­ vention. This was the fight over the vice­ presidency, or, rather, tbe fight over the proposition not to make any nomination for the rice-presidential office, but to re­ fer the entire matter to a committee to be appointetl to confer with the Demo­ crats and silver Republicans in their con­ ventions to be held nt Kansas City. Both the propositions to nominate nnd to refer aud also various compromise suggestions were presented, and upon them was based quite a memorable debate, in which E. Gerry Brown and Geo.- F. Washburn of Massachusetts, Senators Butler and Al­ len, Gen- Weaver, Jerry Simpson nnd Dr. Taylor of Chicago participated. They presented all rides and shade* of the con­ troversy, the debate lasting far into the night before the dose was reached.

From the arrival* of the Minnesota delegation bear­ ing Bryan nnd Towne banners there were outbursts of applause st every conven­ ient opening and upon the least provo-> cation. United Slates Senators Butler, Allen anti Ilcitfield received liberal greet­ ing, while Senator Pettigrew was over­ whelmed by the cordiality of the welcome accorded to him. There was also gen­ erous applause when the name of Mr., Bryan was mentioned by the speakers of the day. Many sentiments were cheesed to the echo, anti this was notably the case with Gov. Lee’s reference to the Boers and the Filipinos. Before entering upon tbe regular order of business prayer was offered by Bishop O’Gorman. Chairman "Butler then In­ troduced Gov. Ix‘c of South Dakota, who on behalf of the State welcomed the con­ vention. Gov. Lee was given lelose attention and was frequently interrupted by ap­ plause. hb reference to tbe “splendid heroism of the South African republics” bringing a burst of cheers. His allusion to W. J. Bryan, however, the first time his name had been ‘pronounced, brought the delegates to their feet in a hurricane of cheers and waving of flags, some en­ thusiastic delegates climbing on their chairs to voice their approval. Senator Butler responded for the convention. At the conclusion of his address proper Chairman Butler introduced the tempo­ ral chaintten of the convention. P. M. Ringdal of Minnesota.

Midclle-of-the-Road PnpnHsta Hold u National Convention. Four hundred and seventy men and women occupied delegates’ seats when National Committeeman D.'Clem Deaver called the national convention of the middle-of-the-road Populists to order in the opera bouse in Cincinnati at 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. Former Congress­ man M. W. Howard of Alabama was named as temporary chairman and J. C. Allen of Oklahoma ns temporary secre­ tary, with Earl Richardson of Illinois aa secretary. The committee on credentials was api>ointed and the remainder of the session taken up in listening to speeches. Ignatius Donnelly made an address de­ nouncing the fusionists at Sioux Falla and W. J. Bryan. A recess was then taken until 8 p. ni. At the night session Wharton Barker, the leading candidate for the presiden­ tial nomination, made a lengthy speech. The committee on credentials reported the delegations nnd refused to recognize proxies. This allowed Kansas only two votes instead of eighty-six,"aa only two delegate* from that State were present. Ou the convention's vote on the proxy question a wrangle ensued. Barker and Donnelly opposed allowing R. M. Che­ nault to cast forty-three votes or half of Kans:»*' quota. The result of the ballot­ ing was disputed, but finally vivified, and the committee’s report was amended so that the delegates could cast the full quota Cor their respective States. The report ax Amended was adopted. The committee on permanent organiza­ tion reported in favor of Col. W. L. Peck of Georgia for chairman. A minority re­ port favored Judge 8. W. Williams of Vincennes, lud., for chairman. Tbe ma­ jority report was adopted. The conven­ tion thru adjourned till 8 p. m. Thurs­ day. On Monday, in the Senate, Mr. Teller delivered a speech iu which he strongly urged the Senate to extend its sympathy to the Buers in their ountMt with Great Britain. The adaption of hiji resolution * —“paiby, he maintained, could not be coni ted as an unfriendly act by the ‘ British Government. During most-of the •ession the Senate hud under cansHieretion the naval appropriation bilL Mrt Chandler's amend meat fo curtail the in­ crease of the marine corps created r»im debate, and finally was laid on the tab>, 30 to 14. The bill was not completed. On Tuesday tbe Senate concluded ron, sidi-ration of the*naval appropriation bill, with the cxceplioA of that sectioo re­ lating to armor and armament. ' Thia went over until Wednesday- A number of minor bills were passed, among them one to rcimlnrrae rarioaa collectors of internal revenue for internal revenue stamps charged against them, but not accounted fur. The debate on the naval hill w«». practically confined to the para­ graph relating to the rommiMiourng of naval cadets. The committee's amend­ ment striking out .the proposition in the House* bill which sought to commission the cadets at the expiration of the four years’ term at the-naval academy, obolishing the preliminary two years at sea, was xprried after a warm debate. The House (h-voted most of the day to the consideration of private bills recom­ mended from the coiumiltec on claims anil ten bills were passed. The mor. im­ portant was one to remit the penalties imposed by the Government on the Union iron works of San Francisco, the build­ ers of the monitor Monterey, for ner fail-* ure to make contract speed. Resolution was adopted calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury to Inform the House of the material used in the manufacture of oleomargarine. Practically the entire session of the Senate on Weddesday was devoted to the section of tbe naval appropriation bill relating to armor and armament. The debate largely hinged on ibe proposition that the Government should erect an ar­ mor plant of its own. Senator Tillman presented an amendment limiting the price to be paid for armor to $300 per ton. and providing also that the Govern- . went should erect a plant of its own. Sen­ ators Tillman. Money and Chandler advo­ cated the erection of a pi^tit, while Mr. Hale supported the committee amend­ ment providing for a plant in the contin­ gency that armor could nob' be produced ,for $445 per ton. No action' was taken on the proposition, the bill going over until Thursday. The House considered the contested election ease of^ Pearson versus Crawford from the Ninth North Carolina district. The report of the ma­ jority was against the sitting member, a Democrat, on the general ground that Mr. Pearson's election was prevented by fraud, intimidation, bribery and blood­ shed. The minority deny all tbe allega­ tions of the majority. The debate was on party lines. t Jn the Senate on Thursday the case in­ volving the seat of Mr. Clark of Montana was postponed until Tuesday. Mr. Gailinger addressed the Senate at length on his resolution, declaring that "tie pres­ ent phenomenal prosperity of the country is due to the policy of protection as em­ bodied in tbe Dingley tariff law."

The minority reso­ lution declaring tbe sitting member en­ titled to the seat was defeated bv one rote. After nn all-day discussion iu the Sen­ ate on Friday au agreement was reach­ ed to vote on the armor plate section at 3 o’clock. May 12. During the discussion ft notable speech was delivered by Mr. IxMlge ut>on the necessity of building up tbe United States navy, without delay. Mr. Daniel presented an extended argu­ ment in support of the immediate conatructlon by tbe Government of an armor factory, while Mr.'Allison opposed the project of a Government factory, on the •core of economy.

Ninety-nine companies show ad excess of receipts over disburse­ ments of $5,535,789.05. while 103 com­ panies expended $7,322,398.43 in excess of their income. During the year 1899 an enormous loss of property by fire was sustained throughout tbe entire country; at the same time it is apparent that the average premium rate* charged fur insur­ ance materially decreased. The total losses inenrrdd hr the companies in this State during 1895) exceeded the amount incurred during 1898 by $1,110,092,113, while the premium receipt* in 1899 were only $487,081.18 more than In 1898. The average premium rate charged io this 8»“te on the business of 181)0 shows a slight increase over the rate of ISOS, but not in equal proportion to the increase in losses.

The Act of Incorporation of this road was approved by Abraham Lin­ coln as President and many eminent men were connected with the road in one way and another. The story deals scarcelv at all in technicalities, but is intended to give the ordinary reader some idea of what it means to plan, build, equip and ope­ rate a road 2,000 miles long over plains and mountains. ..

Her y’ anything to soy? Ef ye hev-r-wiy it now-.’’ “Du what you’re going to do, and have done with it,” answered Wayne, through ashen lip*. Aud that was alt The chain wa* fastened about his neck, and some of the men lifted him up while one climlx-d on tbe old limb and secured the fatal links ata>ut it. "Ready?" asked Bill Green, hoarsely. “Ayeuall ready," was the reply. And then— ” . They turned away a* silently aa they had come, aud left the leader of the league of six swinging from the old cedar, whose fate it was to bear pint horrible burden, a ghastly, frightful record of frontier vengeance. . "Ob, mother, they’re coming at Iasi!" cried Nannie? "Be they ‘ all they?” asked Mr*. Boone, faintly. "Yes; they’re all there," answered Nan­ nie. "Father and Unde Ezra and Nell and Doll—and Dick!” "Hooray! Three cheers for Dick Bray­ ton!” shouted the men, as they caught sight of the women. The Sabbath quiet wa* broken by three hearty, ringing cheer* which echoed far and wide, and were heard at the camp meeting ground, telling everybody there that the horse thieves had been found at ta»L . "Oh, Dick.” cried Nannie, throwing herself into his armic and caring nothing if all tbe world sag uud heard her, "1 used you shamefully! I’m sorry for it! "I can forgive anything and every­ body,” he said, and made the assertion emphatic with a kiss. That night the enuip meeting was a wonderful success. The excitement of the last few hours had prepared the way for a state of feeling calculated, to*make any camp meeting successful, and those who had huu^d horse thieves went into religious work with heart and soul. Deacon Snyder exhorted with peculiar power, bringing in frequent allusions to his stolen horses, which Providence had seen fit to restore to him, and the result of the exhortation was that Bill Green, whose "conviction*” had been in a state of suspension since Inst night, took up the matter where he hnd left it when he turned out to look for Mr. Boone's horses, and was converted. “An’ he was converted good an' strong, too," Deacun Snyder used to say, in af-ter years, when relating the events of this memorable camp meeting. He never ceased to look upon Bill as a star in hi* crown—a brand he had plucked from the burning. Samanthy finally overcame her "baptis’ ” scruple^, and got up in meeting and “told her experience,” to which she added a supplement, narrating the trou­ ble she could not get rid of because of what she had done on Saturday night. The elder get up when she sat down. And said thnt he felt, for one, as if she hail done nothing to be sorry for. In hi* opinion,- ohe had done just right. The Lord would surely punish the transgres­ sor, aud sometimes he made men aud women hi* agents. She had been merely an agent in the hands of the Lord in Hi*! and she had no right to feel like grieving over it. In his opinion, she had more right to be proud of having been selected as His agent in the matter. And he be­ lieved that every person iu the hearing of bis voice agreed with him. In response to this public vindication of her act, such a chorus of "Yes, laird!” and "Ameu!” went up from the crowd .that Samanthy'* heart was eased of its burden. And so grateful was she to the minister that she married him. six months later, and was ever afterward known in Brownsville as tbe "presidin’ cider’s wife.” Further investigation into the defalca­ tion in the departmeot of posts ip Cuba ha* brought to light a shortage in the Havana po»toffice. aud Postmaster Thompson has been placnl under arrest. Deputy Auditor of the Island W. H.. Rrevo» aud two of- the ’Cuban stamp clerks have also been «rre«tad, and more arrests are likely to follow.

The ring Mippowd to have been headed by Neely prebahly made its theft* through the stamp channel. They repre­ sented stamp* destroyed at $100,000 mure than actual value, aud then secreted that amount in urw stomps, which were de­ posited in the place of money every mouth when l8e returns came from the island. Balances were tha* kept correct, stamp* taking the place of money in the vaults. When the auditor* examined the sales of stamps from Matnnzas and other stations the amount was found much larger than that credited of cash or stamps on hand. The military authorities are now get­ ting return* from all stations of stamp* sold th compare with Neely’s book*. In this way the approximate amount of the alleged defalcation will be found. Neely could have put up a strong defenke that his balances are right and .that it wa* simply a mistake in crediting sales if his ’confederates had not confessed and turn­ ed over $5,000 stamps.

This was kept up un­ til April 7. when the special agents unex­ pectedly disebvered the receipt, which Mr, Thompson then paid. ' It is asserted by lawyers that on Mr. Thompson's own statement he is liable to conviction for emliezzlement, according to the provisions nt the postal law. which are very explicit. Postmaster General Smith to a Wash­ ington correspondent said that the dis­ patches from Havana and other publica­ tion* cnBOerning tbe defalcations in the postal service there arc very much exag­ gerated. That a considerable amount of money ha* been stolen is. he says, unfor­ tunately true and a thorough investiga­ tion in in progress, but tlie disclosures up to date do not justify the sensational re­ port* thnt are in circulation.

The American pavilion at the Paris ex­ position was formally turned over to the authorities and public Saturday after­ noon. The inauguration took place in the presence of embassy and consulate officials, a number of high French func­ tionaries, foreign diplomat's nnd commis­ sioners and such a concourse of Ameri­ can citizens that many who were provid­ ed with tickets were unable to gain ad­ mission to the building. It was an inci­ dent tit more than ordinary iuterev to American visitors to the Pari* fair—thia formal opening of the United States pa­ vilion on die “Street of Nations.” In the presence of hundreds of Americans and Frenchmen Commissioner General Peck welcomed M.

A special from Washington says that it is the belief of well-informed department officials that Germany will heed thg warnings given her by Secretary Root and Senator Lodge by more strongly urg­ ing the passage of the bill providing for the increase of the navy deaired by the German emperor. It is understood that the administration expects Germany to try to block, diplomatically, every plan which may strengthen the position of the United States, as in tbe case of the Dan­ ish West Indies, but it ia not supposed for a moment that she will go to the extreme of hostilities. It is thought to be her policy to continue the colonisation of Cen­ tral and South America to get a prepon­ derant German influence in those States, bo that in case of war with the United States these German communities might have an important bearing upon tbe de­ gree of neutrality the southern republic* would enforce.

Britiab Noi fcaaivc Position* on tbe BiKK*>*"bers. A* a result of his carefully planned and: rapidly executed maneuvers in th? la*C week Lord Robert* on Saturday was able of Kroonstad. aud the British public, which worried at his delay at Bloemfon­ tein, may well conclude that bi* irritat­ ing deliberation has been justified by 0»e results. 'Hie first week of the present mouth saw Lord Roberts’ force advanced one-fourth of the dUta nee toward Pre­ toria; the second week secs him cover an­ other great stride ou the to«d to the Transvaal capital. So far a».i* sboxa in the cabled reports the Boer* havg em­ ployed their usual tactics. They have made but a show of resistance, steadily retreating rather than sustain an actu*i defeat, and always evading the British general’* effort* to encircle their position. The comparative e**e with which Rob­ erts b*s been allowed to make hi* ad­ vance correspondent* ascribe to the fact that bis force, greatly superior in num­ bers, has been able at each contested point to oppose to the burgher* a line *» much longer than their own as to men­ ace them on the flauk in *pite of their marvelous mobility. The occupation of Kroonslad seems to pur the British practically in posseBsion of tbe Orange Free State. There i* *tijl a considerable force, it is understood, up- . on the right of tbe British line, and it i* not at all certain that bands of Boer* may not continue for some time to operate in the" east aud southeast of the repub­ lic. The main force of the Boer army, however, it seem*, is falling back rapidly toward the Vaal river. At that stream or in the country to the north—a country, admirably adapted to Boer method* o£ defense—the last desperate struggles o£ the war are to be expected. Up th the present the Boer forces have succeedod getting away, with comparatively little loss, and unless the temper of the burg­ hers has suddenly changed it Is hardly believed that in failing-to make a decisive stand up to date they have not been act­ ing in accordance with a definite policy designed to give them the opportunity to select their own battlefield for the final encounter. The British public will bo cautious in accepting stories of "pacifica­ tion” among the Free Staters. Hereto­ fore, it will be remembered, n rapid ad­ vance .on the part of the British either has been followed by a long delay for needed recuperation or some uncomforta­ bly brilliant strategic maneuver* ou the part of the Boer*. . London military critic* export that Lord Roberts will push forward toward the Vaal river without much delay. The British troop* are reported to be in ex­ cellent condition, despite the rapid march­ ing and hard fighting of the past fort­ night. They nre eager to attack the Trausvaaiers on their own toil.

He dednred a similar fraud wa* proiosed in tbe attempt to force tht Governmeht tu adopt the Krupp armor. Mr. Spooner and Mr. Hale made uotable speeches, deprecating the war talk by Mr. Lodge. Neither the Senator from Wis­ consin nor the Senator from Maine w*a feartni that wcmlght becoma involved I* difficulty with Germany on aerjuut of the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Hoar protested nga’net the talk that this nation had only recently become a “world power,” assert­ ing that it had been a world power since the war of 1812. Mr. Chandler took sharp tasne with the statement made by Mr. Allison that it would be four year* before this Government could get a plate of armor from its own factory if it built one. Mr. Chandler concluded with th’ statement that the proposed Government armor plant could )x’ erected for $1,500,000 and a steel plant alongside it for $500,000, and he believed the plant* ought to be constructed.

THH STATE OF WASHINOTOM Is known as the Evergreen State be­ cause of h* vast forests. ' Outside of the limited areas of Big Trees in Cali­ fornia, there are no such forests of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce, cedar, etc., a* are found here. The tree* are long and straight, and tbe massive timbers­ and floc shingles made from them are' shipped all over tbe world. Washington Fruit is a product of great value, it* flavor and colot; are unsurpassed. East of the Cascade Mountains, the climate is dry and warm and irrigation is necessary. This makes tlie farmer independent of rain. West of the mountains, irriga­ tion is unnecessary, and the rainfall is ample for all purposes. Canneriq* and fruit drying establishments can be operated profitably in this-state. Grain, hop* and alfalfa are very, profitable crop*, and beet sugar is rapidly making headway. Washington is a coming empire. Brains are in demand in all profes­ sions, and labor is wanted and paid remunerative prices. Fuel, 'coal as well as wood, is abundant and cheap. Schools and churches abound, 'he state is well supplied with railways. Varied altitudes and climates ren­ der this country a desirable place of residence and all can be suited. - For further information, rates, etc., addies* W. H.

This is a positive fact—not a mere statement -anybody and everybody is invited to Mrp. Pinkhiun's office to see for themselves—when we say every­ body we mean women of course—thus ’ has’been established the eternal con­ fidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America, which has never been broken and has induced more than 100,(XX) sufferers to write her for advice daring the last few months. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained lhe very knowledge that will help, your case. She , asks nothing in re-’ ■ turn except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands.

I have now taken twelve bottles of Compound and used three boxes of Liver Pills and am en­ tirely cured of tlie dreadful pain I used’to suffer.

The doctor advised an operation. I could not bear to think of that, so followed your advice. I got better right off. I took six bottles of Lydia E.

PEACE ENVOYS FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN REPUBLIC. be did with great pleasure in the hope that it might possibly bring the conflict to an end. This offer had been declined by Great Britain, aud. he said, there was nothing further that the United State* could do ta the premises. The envoys intimated that they were glad to feel they had friend* in this coun­ try and then bade the President good-by. This is the most startling case of mu­ tiny that has taken place on board a United States vessel in years. The Tex­ as ba* .been on a long cruise, during which it touched at Galveston and the Bermudas. It is said the crew were in a condition of insubordination during the whole cruise and the Navy Department officials are nt a low to understand why severe measures were not adopted nt the very first uprising. The cause of llw trouble is Said to have been rum secured a»Gal­ veston. 1st of June, and if successful it is expect­ ed that a similar cotton census rnay .be taken every year. The price of cotton is always based u{x>n the volume of the crop, and from the beginning uf the plant­ ing until the' Inst bale is pressed thou­ sands of people throughout rite South are studying the subject with anxious care in order todgUiunine whether to sell their crop at^fne ruling prices or wait for Ln ■ advance. The Agricultural Department has a thorough system that i» generally reliable. Several private agencies, news{tapers, transportation companies and commercial organizations have undertak­ en the same work, but their estimates are always hundreds of thousands cl bales apart. There is only one means by which rhe exact amount of the crop can be obtained, and that is from the ginning establishments. Every bale has to be gin­ ned, whether it is consumed on the planta­ tion or sent to Europe, and the director of the census proposes thi» year to count every bale that goes through the ginneries of the country. Mr. Wu. the Chinese minister at Washii-gtoa, has issued a proclamation to the Chinese residents of the United States, explaining the purpose of the census and requesting them to give al) the informa­ tion asked for by the enumerators with­ out hesitation. Ten years ago the enum­ erators found it difficult to obtain infor­ mation from the Chinese, who suspected that it was to be used against them, and Director Merriam, anticipating similar difficulties this year, requested Mr. Wu to allay the suspicion of his fellow coun­ trymen. It may be a matter of interest to super sdlious people that the enoumeration uf population this year will be made on Fri­ day*-tbe 1st of June happening to fail on that unlucky day. For the first time ta the history of the national census there will be an enumera­ tion this year of animals employed in cities and towns.

The specification* provide for poles hav- 1 .tag a diameter of seven inches at the top and require that such'pules whall be set ta the ground from six to eight feet, according to the height of the pole, the object being to set the pole* to such a depth that there will tie no possibility of their being blown over by the wind. Pole* shall not lie *et farther apart than-we hundred, feet at railroad crossing* and: mon bo provided with double cross arms. All poles at crossing* shall be safely guyed, and all wires crossing railroad tracks must be at leant twenty-two feet from the ground. The increase in the number of wires croaiilng railroad track* has greatly augmented the hazard to rail­ road emjdoye* and. the commissioner de«.-es to' have them put up as securely aa possible. - There were 3,040 deaths reported te the Secretary of State'as having occurred! iu Michigan during the mouth of April, 11*00, corresponding to a death rate of 15.0 per 1,000 estimated population. Thia number was slightly less than the num­ ber feturned for March. There were 522 deaths of infants under 1 year of age. 235 of children aged I to 4, inclusive, and 803 of person* aged 65 year* an<k over. Important cnuMJs of death were as follows: Pulmonary tuberculosis.* 103; other forms of tuberculosis, 55; typhoid fever, 21; diphtheria nnd croup, 33; scar­ let fever, 22; measles.

Tliere was some de­ crease shown in the mortality from tuber­ culosis, typhoid fever, diphtheria and cerebrospinal meningitis, as compared with tbe preceding month. Other cause* of death show very slight change. Railroad Commissioner Osborn ha* is­ sued a circular to the general manager* and superintendents of the railroads of Michigan calling'attention to the statute requiring trains to be brought to a full stop before crossing the tracks of other railroads where such crossings are not provided with approved interlocking ap­ pliances. This law, it is asserted, is noc being observed in many instances. In­ order to secure the safety of the phbiic the commissioner orders that the follow­ ing rule be observed: "At nil main track crossings not provided with int’erlockcrs. the signals of gate* governing the u*e of same shall at all times be kept in neutral position not indicating tbe right of wny for engines or trains to cross, until such, engines or trains shall have been brought to a full stop, nnd the signal men at such crossings must know that trains hav* been brought to a full stop before setting signals or gates for them to pass." Attorney General Oren is looking up several questions in relation 40 Michi­ gan’s war claim, nnd will accompanyGov. Pingree to Washington to argue forj the allowance of the claim before the War Department. It appears that the1 national guardsmen were paid $1.25 per; day while they were at Island Lake. The. War Department object* to reimbursing the State on this basis, as it is daimed* the Michigan statute 'only provides for' ,the payment of the army allowance of$13 a month. The Attorney General.’ however, say* that the $13 allowance iw tor soldiers enlisted in the usual way,| nnd that the statute provides for thepayment of the larger sum to the mem-' Ix-r* of the organized militia ot (te State.' If the War .Department adheres to ItM intention to allow only $13 a month, that State’* claim for soldiers* compensation ,w21 be more than cut in half.

The press dispatches from the head­ quarters of Lord * Roberts give no esti­ mate as to the numlier of Boers who. were fighting Gen. French and Gen. Ian Hamilton Monday nnd Tuesday, but they all agree that the Boers retired nnd that the British disunities were slight. While some newspapers regard the practical surrender of Pretoria as the end of the war. there arc others that do net venture such a sanguine opinion, con­ tenting themselves by saying it is the be­ ginning of the op’d. They recall th? fre­ quently reiteratMl intention of the Boer* to withdraw to the mountains at Lydenburg. and find confirlhntion of thi* inten­ tion in tbe fact that President Kruger ha* gone to Watcrfnllhovch. From that place the main road runs due north to Lydeuliurg.

The South Afri­ can republic was tbe only nation calling itself civilized that encouraged slavery; women occupied an inferior imsition; re­ ligious liberty in tbe republic was un­ known; only those in jwwer could hope tn secure a competence, the main body of the people being poor, with no opportu­ nities for fettering their condition.

The United States Government and all great educational institutions made elaborate and costly preparations to get tbe best possible observations and mill­ ions of dollars were cx]x.*nd»d in this way.

The Mexican governments bad observations made at the National University in the City of Mexico. Eurojican astronomers choae the Siberian peninsula and the northernmost coast of Africa as the places for taking the best observation*. The British Government expedition, un­ der the direction of Sir Norman Lockyer of tbe Royal Observatory, was stationed' at Alicante; the Dubliu University party, which numbered some of the foremost British astronomers, viewed the eclipse from a point near tbe Spanish post of Plaacnia; the Portuguese Government granted special facilities to foreign as­ tronomers desiring to view the eclipse from point* in that country, all tbe re­ sources of the Royal Observatory at Lis­ bon being placed at their disposal. ^Statistics of the criminal population of the United States show that only 0 per cent of the total number of criminals are women. While great interest..attached to the eclipse itself, the object of the astron­ omers composing the "eclipse expedi­ tions" from all parts of the country was not alone to observe the passing of the moon before th? sun, but tbe study of the corona. This particular branch of the many phenomena generally attending an eclipse, has always been an unsolvable problem, ft is the belief of many i*». tronomer* that the corona is a product of, the sun and has nothing to do with the earth or moon a* formerly suspected. To the accurate observation of this paramount feature of the eclipse every appliance of tbe instrument makers’ art, combined with the astronomer’s knowl­ edge, wa* directed in tbe hope of reach­ ing a solution of his "philosopher’s stone,” generally speaking. Ths o’bservations taken by the astronomer* were confined to three separate lines of work —tbe old method of telescopic observar tiona, viewing of the eclipse with the naked eye anji the photographing^of tbe phenomena of tbe eclipse. Tbe eclipse furnished a beautiful sight, and all the observers unite in pronounc­ ing the conditions perfect. ’Prof. Bar­ nard. of Yerke* observatory stated that the totality period wa* slightly charter than calculated, which proved the moon tabic* to be slightly incorrect.

The majority of the committee, beaded by cxGov.

The minority recommended that no action be taken. Having transacted ail the business that had accumulated, the conference Tuesday adjourned.

A mighty team were these two. Truly their works live after them. It is nearly 100 years since they started on that great exploration fath­ ered by Thos. Jefferson, up the Mis­ souri and down the Columbia rivers, crossing the mountains between, and .the results of it and the deep interest in it still lives. Their first winter—1804-5—was spent among the Mandan Indians: tbe win­ ter of 1805-6 they passed near the mouth of the Columbia river among the Clatsop Indians. They crossed the Rocky Mountains at five different places, and traveled sometimes in ca­ noes, sometimes on horseback, some­ times afoot, and covered about 10,000 miles in all. Their adventures proved- truth to be as strange as fiction; their discoveries were of the greatest importance. “Wonderland 1900,’’ just issued by the Northern Pacific Railway Co., is largely devoted to Lewis and-Clark’s exploration, and is the only popular and reliable narrative of that expedi­ tion recently published.

THE STORY OF A RAILROAD, THE STATE OF WASHINGTON Is known us the Evergreen Stale be­ cause of its vast forests. Outside of the limited areas of Big Trees in Cali­ fornia, there are no such fores is oL pine, fir, hemlock, spruce, cedar, etc., as are found here. The trees are long and straight, and tbe massive timbers and fine shingles made from them are shipped all over the world. Washington Fruit is a product of great value, its flavor and color are unsurpassed. East of the Cascade Mountains, the climate is dry and warm and irrigation is necessary. This makes the farmer independent of rain. West of thy mountains, irriga­ tion is unnecessary, and the rainfall is ample fob all purposes. Canneries and fruit drying establishments can be operated profitably in this state. Grain, hops and alfalfa are very* profitable crops, and beet sugar is rapidly making headway. Washington is a coming empire. Brains are in demand in all profes­ sions, and labor is wanted and paid remunerative prices. Fuel, coal as well as wood, is abundant and cheap. Schools and churches abound, the state is well supplied with railways. Varied altitudes and climates ren­ der thia country a desirable place of residence and all can be suited.

The services were conducted, however, by the Revs. Branch and Feather. Mias Kinne became a Christian a few days before her death and was baptised. Seldom has there been better advice for the conduct of the human family than is*boiled down in nine compre­ hensive antitheses: Drink less, breathe more; eat less, chew more; ride less, walk more; clothe less, bathe more: worry less, work more; waste less, {rive more; write less, read more; talk ess, Jhlnk more; preach less, prac­ tice more. To follow these is to strike for greater success. An exchange tells of the following scheme that is being worked on old soldiers. They approach their in­ tended victim and oner to sell him a book containing his war record and to be accompanieu by a certificate, which, when properlv filled out would enable his widow or "children to receive his pension without the usual tedious pro­ cess. The soldier has simply to pay his dollar down and two more on the delivery of the book. A school teacher, having instructed a pupil to purchase a grammat, the next day received a note, worded thus from the child’s mother: “I do not desire for Lulu to ingage in gram­ mar as 1 prefer her to Jngage in useful studies, and can learn her to spoke and write properly myself I have went through two grammars and can-’t say as they did me no good.

He began to whistle a snatch or two of one of the song* that Joanne had sung us they walked along the silent road un­ der the stars. Godfre, was thinking of Joanne, too. “She has gqt most of the brains of lot. I should say." Mr. Dallas remarked abruptly just ixfore they reached their inn. “She? Who?” inquired Godfrey; for they had been silent for the Izst'few mo­ ment*; and then Jack laughed. “Why, you don’t think that I mean Mis* Liltihn, du you?" be said. CHAPTER V. Mr. .Hristone and Mr. Dalias were walking down the village street one af­ ternoon soon after this, when they came on Joanne and Lillian standing talking to some other girls. The young' men would have passed by with n bow, but Joanne put out her bund, nnd then, when they had'exchanged greetings, fotruduced her companions. . They were the other Berest ords—two of the cousin* of whom she had already spoken to Godfrey. They all stood to­ gether Tor -five minuferf; then Godfrey nnd Jack left them again and went their own "Are there many more of them, do you tbipk?*.’ said Mr. Dallas, in n snlwlued voice, as soon ns they were out of hear­ ing. "I never knew Mich a family in my life! A pair of not ilHooking girls, too. the?k‘ new ones." “Oh. they seem to be nil nice-looking, knorc or less, the whole clan of them." re plied Godfrey. "One of these other Berektortfs is counted very handsome. Miss Joanne told inc once." "What, another one besides those be­ hind us? Oh, what a tribe!" cried Jack, with a fare of dismay. But the next day Godfrey laughed to himself, for, chancing to lie standing at one of the windows uf the inn, he s*w his friend coming, down the street in com­ pany with evidently the whole four Miss Beresford* of the village, talking to them, and sauntering on beside them, apparent­ ly on the pleasantest terms with the en­ tire quartette. He came in preseifily. very ready himself to laugh at his proceed­ ings. “There’s nothing like taking matters into one’s own hands." he exclaimed. "I met thoac two girls that we saw yester­ day, and I could tell by their faces that they wanted to be sjioken to, so I spoke to them, and then their sisters came up with curiosity In their blue eyes, and of course I got myself introduced to them, too: ,and then, as they didn’t seem to know how to more on. I turned and mov­ ed on with them, and I’ve been escorting them home to-their .garden gate. Upon my wont it’s great fun!" cried Jack, with a face full of nmuocmeut. “All the four dear souls are talking of me together, I have no doubt, at this very moment." “I have no doubt you will call on their mother before many days are past," snid Godfrey, laughing. And he proved jierfectly right, for the next day it happened that the vicar in­ troduced both the young men to his sis­ ter-in-law. and Mr. Dallas at once seized the opportunity to make himself so agree­ able to Mr*. Arthur Beresford that that lady, befdr* they parted, expressed ihe hope that she should have the pleasure of seeing him and his friend at her own honse. They went on the following day. and spent n lively enough afternoon. They found a Bfrtnber of other people there; their hostess nnd her daughters appeared in the daintiest ot summer dresses to re­ ceive them; it was n complete “at home," though on a small scale, fevidently Mrs. Arthur’s taste was of a different kind from that which reigned at the riearage. and she cared to exerclke' her hospitality in a different way. _> Early in the day. before they had bent their step* toward Rum?

"We are going to afternoon tea to-day with your aunt," hr had told her; but when he announced this fact, sshe repUe.1 that sbe was already quite aware ot it. "Hove you not learned yet that every­ body knows everything about their neigh­ bors in Brentwood?” she naked btm. “My auut sent a messenger up to the- vicar­ age last night to spread the n«ws." "Dear me. what made her do that?" said Godfrey, qnickly. But Joanne did not choose to enlighten him, and went away laughing, and he only got an answer to his question when, a few hours later, he found Lillian and Joanne herself among Mr*. Anhar’s guests. "I think it was very bad of you no: to tell me that you were coining,” he said that 1 th.mght I would B*t**fcrd, with a i.Hing man at her *id« Godfrey gav- n glance al hha, aad’frlt a* impdkw of dislike. “I »upfx>*e it b hvr son." he Mtit! abort-* ly, "You heard hr wan comlup. dldcT you?

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound haw stood the test of years. It has the largest sale of any remedy for female ills in tlie world, aud nothing could have given it this sale except its own meyit. Do not try any experiments, but buy what is known to be reliable. Mix Pinkham’s Compound can do all that is claimed for it, and all statements in regard to it can be easily verified. Mrs. Pinkham invites every suffering woman to cume to Lynn for this pur­ pose. « This would be a dangerous in­ vitation to publish broadcast if Mrs. Pinkham was not most sincere and Honest in all her statements and claims. For instance—here are Three Letters from One Woman Showing How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege­ table Compound Cured Falling of the Womb: AND A. ;HNANCA1.' Now York—The movement of trade ap­ pears again to be in the right direction, although the pa de is a trifle slow. There has beep a considerable reaction in iron nnd steel, wool, cotton aud other com­ modities, but this reuction lias been in the nature of a readjustment of prices to conditions. The clearing bouse reports do not indicate any important falling off In the volume of business at any point. Some of the large cities of the country have lately shown decreases in the clear­ ings as compared with last year, but the losses have in few cases been of any consequence. The tendency in the stock markets als<x has been toward improve­ ment. nnd the close of the week finds prices for most of (he high grade securi­ ties on a materially higher level as com­ pared with the preceding week. Money continues easy, and the street seems in­ clined to be somewhat less bearish in its views, although the average trader is likely to be governed to a considerable | extent by a policy of conservatism until j the political outlook becomes a little more clearly defined. . Chicago—How little speculative inter­ est is being taken In the wheat market is well Illustrated by Saturday’s closing price of that coximodity for July deliv­ ery, which was within cent a bushel of its value at tlie end of the previous week. The comparative immovability of dts price would not be so noteworthy were it not for tbe prevalence during the week of conditions that formerly would have been sufficient to cause violent and excited fluctuations. Although corn has been commanding relatively much ^nore attention than wheat, an almost similar result attended its contracted fluctuations, the July price Saturday afternoon being’ only %c higher than it. was at the end of the previous week. There has been a good shipping demand for corn, and no scarcity of the wherewithal to satisfy it, with a promising outlook for next crop as far as gone. There is so little known lfosltirely'’8bout the .surplus of previous crops in farmers’ hands that speculative sentiment is largely governed by tbe receipts from day to day. TRADE CRUSADE IN BRITAIN. lect Information Abroad. The British Government is about to launch a comprehensive system of in­ quiry into the best means of developing the country’s foreign trade. Tbe inquiry will l>eaniadc under the direction of the Board of Trade. It is planned to have her majesty’s ambassadors, ministers and consuls furnish the merchants and mnnufncVirera at home information which British tradesmen can turn to account. Records will be kept not only of market fluctuations and conditions of supply and demand, but also of detailed facts rela­ tive to tariffs, weights and measures, rates of exchange, interest, freight* and insurance, credit systems and price lists of every conceivable commodity in which England competes with other nhtions. It is also planned to establish in London a great mu»cum of commercial samples from all parts of the world, similar to the institution existing in Philadelphia. Litigation among the heirs ot the late Adolph Butro of Ban Francisco is likely to result in the scattering of his library of 280,000 volumes, one of the finest on the Pacific coast. The United States fish commission ha* shipped 700,000 shad eggs to Ireland, where there will be an effort to prapagats the fish in the River Shannon.

When the plow is hard to bold it ia safe to say that it Is hard work for tbe (teams to draw II Thia may be be­ ta uw of roots or atone*. in which ease the cause Is obvious, but if not some- sward land? It would be cheaper to get a new plow than to wear out plowiim-u and team with a plow In poor con­ dition. But quite often the trouble ariae* from the line of draught not being right. It would ijeem that any farmer should know If bls plow “ruYi her nofce Into tbe ground.” so tbal he found he had to tiear bis weight ou the bandies, or pulled out bo he bad .to lift on It to keep It in. or whether it took too wide a furrow or too narrow a one. and should know how to remedy It. yet, says a farm writer, we have known a farm hand to. work all day with n plow when he was puttlug out more strmigtli every hour than he would have used in a day’s work wfth the some plow after be had hitched the team properly. And the team was as tired ax be. Select rich, sandy soil and plow deep. Be sure that the ground Is flue, and then throw it up In small ridges about three feet apart These ridges can quickly be shaped up with a hoe to a uniform size. I think It best to leave the ridges stand several days *> that the moisture will get more evenly dis­ tributed through them. As soon as tlie danger of frost la past In the spring, and . the ground Js warm, select tlie plants. Take the plant iu one band and with the other hand make a holo pretty well down In tbe top of the ridge, so that permanent moisture may be se­ cured to the'roots. Press the dirt rather firmly around tbc roots. ’Ret rjie plants 15 to 18 laches apart. I would not water the plants unless tbe ground is very dry. Set tlie plants out In the evening, or. still better, during cloudy weather. When all the plants begin to grow aud the-, weeds appear, with a hoe, shave lhe surface of the’ ridge away from tbe ptauts. and when the plants begnl to vine, hoe the dirt‘up around them and the ••tending” Is done. Dig before frost and pack iu dry saw­ dust. Avoid letting, the potatoes get Chilled, and you can have sweet pota­ toes until spring.—Mrs. Charles E. Mor­ ris. . Kitlinu Weeds. When we went Bo school we were taught that If ten men could do a cer­ tain piece of work iu one day. one'man could do It In ten days, but we were taught by experience.that this would not apply to weed killing aud fumy other bits of form work. In hoeing a field large enough to keep ten men at it all day. it would take a smart man to get It done >all summer. The growth of weeds ahead of him would make each day's work smaller, while behind him they would grow so that be would find those places helloed tbe first day would to In need of being hoed again before he reached tbe end. This, of course, applies to rich land, where weeds grow rank nnd rapidly. There­ fore. It will pay to get extra labor to finish a field .quickly when It needs hoe­ ing.

A hundred incipient riots were quelled by the police in various parts of Fire hundred strikers and a company •( deputy sheriffs fought * pitched battle at Washington avenue, near Sixth street, the heart of St. Louis. Tbe strikers, in the uniforms of ronductors and motor­ man, were returning from a meeting in East St. Louis. They marched up Wash­ ington avenue with a baud at their head. The garglswu of,.dqputies appenr«l at the front door of tbeir barracks to view the parade. A crowd assembled at each’cor­ ner to watch U. Then «omclto<ly threw a brick through the window of a Lindell avenue car that was passing. Capt. Webster <>t the First regiment. Missouri National Guard, rushed Into the street to arrest the man who threw the brick. Capt. Webster had hi* rcp**ating ahotgRU far bis hands, and as he approached the ear tracks pistol shots resounded, .ns if coming from the ranks of the marching strikers. Tbe band atfipped playing instantly. A deputy standing on the sidewalk - took deliberate aim nt the pistol shooter, nod began to fire. ■ In nn instant the whole column of strikers was on the defensive. Pistols were drawn and tbe nign barked up on the north sidewalk, where they seemed prepared to do battle. The sher­ iff* came rushing pell-mell from thi\ bar­ rack* tethe »outh sidewalk with weapons ready, but loath to fire upon a silent op­ ponent. Then someiK»dy standing behind ; the embattled strikers firwl five’slrob* in quick succession nt the group of deputiesr and tbe rcspon.-te was a roar of shotgun detonations that put the strikers to nlBtMt immediate flight • and brought a crowd of many thousands rushing toward tb? acene' of battle. When the street rar men ran away four lay dead upon the sidewalk. Most bfjthe deputies fired high and the glass fronts ef the store* on the north aide of the street were shattered. The fact that tbe strikers who were armed had only pistols is supposed lo ycount for the fact that no deputn?* were hit. It is not known how many strikers • were wounded, but the scatter­ ing effect of the buckshot'.from the depu­ ties’ rejieaterx is Kiipposed to have injur^ •d many who escaped in the hand-to-himd melee which followed. No sooner did the deputies sec that, the strikers wen- in full retreat than they charged them from the»renr, chibbing their gun* aud boating down the few who resisted the charge. Desultory pistol shots markixl the retreat ef the strikers, and the deputies aban­ doned pursuit after driving the rioters three blocks in all directions*. Fifty’ mounted policemen with drawn pistols ar­ rived on tbe scene ten minute* after tbe fight and the Mtreets lending toward the barracks were quickly placed under guard. Many wealthy St. Louisans were In the squad which fought the riote r?. A trail of blood marked the retreat of tbe strikers, and then- is no doubt that many were injured w*bo preferred to es­ cape rather than fair into the bands of the authorities. Deputies, however, cap­ tured sixteen prisoners, most of them in the uniforms of street car saea. The pri»•ners were led into tbe basement of tbe barracks, which i» a vacant storcMlirectly apposite the LindeH Hotel. Froin shotguns and pistols about 200 shots were fired.- During the fight crews of passing cars which started tile trouble abandoned tbeir cars and fled for safety.

Since the investigation l>cgan the trust quietly has dropped rhe price of Ice from ®> cent* a hundred to 40. It has been for 25 cents a hundred nt a profit. The American Ice Company was Incor­ porated in Maine. By purchase or otberwine it acquired ownership of all the lee nila a colonel of Filipino volunteers. They also seized a number of documenta which unteers were within a quarter of a mile of the palace, almost under the u$»e» of the American military authorities. President Taft and the-other members of -the Philippine commission spent last week chiefly 'in securing quarters and arranging tbeir offices. They, however, met a large number of Filipino politicians and commercial leaflets. The. heavy work of the commission ha* nut yet One at the foremost question* is how and from what material to organise a dvil force with which gradually to supersede the army as a governing machine. Spain's auxiliary, the church, is necessarily bar­ red from consideration. American expe­ rience with the natives discourages the hope of honest government through them until a generation or more has eradicated the results of Spain’s tutelage. A largo proportion of the provincial officials al­ ready installed have proven treacherous. Charges against native judges of failing to account for thousands of dollars re­ ceived in fines are under investigation. At present the* governmenlal-altcriLtires are the army on oue side and anarchy on the other. Gen. Otis' plan of municipal gov­ ernments is bring inaugurated in the principal-.towns of Central Luxon and in parts of the Visayns. but the Filipinos persist ia thinking that the question whether the United Stales will retain the Philippines js still open. 1 The. ’.•ommiswoncr* also find that the future state of the church in the Philip­ pines is a leading question in the minds of’ mar y. although most • of those who hare talked with Judge Taft and his colleagues.draw the inference that the com­ missioners are opposed to the reinstate­ ment of the friars. Archbishop Cbappolle has taken a strong stand in support­ ing the requrat of the friars to be re­ established in their old position.

PLAN REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. ' .Tbe American Ice Company of New York/popularly known as the ice trust, announced in May that the price of Its commodity herc.iftcr wottld be (X) cents a hundred pounds^ 'Oils was an increase nt a single bonnd of 80 cents. - There was intimation that the price might go higher before the season was orer. The reason given was the scarcity of ice. The j*ople knew better than this aud the public press at pnee raised its voice in their be­ half. The result has been a fight in the courts over the right of the ice corpora­ tion to do business in this State. It has involved the Mayor at the city and other officials, as well as prominent citizens not holding office. The outcome is still in the fixture, but the claim is made by some of the daily papers that there will be no letop in the fight until Mayor Van Wyck has given up his office and the trust offi­ cials are landed In the penitentiary. , Meantime the courts have called upon Mayor Van Wyck and other city officials to show by what’ right they purchase pnd hold stock in a company which has a mo­ nopoly of its product'in the city which they represent. The Mayor also is in­ volved in the inquiry as to why he fav­ ored originally the control of certain docks by the city, but finally vetoed a legislative bill securing this control, these docks meantime, as is allegnd. haring been leased to the ice trust. He also meantime, it is charged, secured the greater part of his stock. Interest in the Investigation centers chiefly around tiie Central Luxon.

The Census Man and His Troubles The rap of a Boston census taker at the door of a Blackstone street tenement on the top floor, was answered by u lit­ tle girl, with a tear-stained face, who said: "Are you the undertaker1" "No." he said, "I am the census man, and I want to see your father.” “Papa’s drunk.” said the child, in a mattrmf-fket way, "and he’s out some­ where.’’ "Where's your mother?" asked the cen­ sus man. “Mamma died lust night: she’s in there," said the little girl, pointing to an inner room. . The woman died the night before, and her husband went out and got drunk, leaving the little girl alone with the body. The census man notified the police, who took the little girl to the Children's So­ ciety and sent a city undertaker to care for the body. Chicago census enumerators bad many troubles. I.uad(%J down with portfolio and various kinds of blank books and record »li|>». they trudged'into many* a queer nook in search of the knowledge the Government wants. In the fashiona­ ble residence districts the work was com•parntivcly easy, but in those districts where two-story bouses held from three to four families and twelve to fifteen in­ dividuals. a system of espionage was in­ augurated. The enumerator would go to a house and make his argument for in­ formation. Ln other ..rooms and on back porches there would be a buxzing of voices pitched to a whisper.' Then a small, ragged boy would shin over the back lot line fence and whisper some­ thing into other back doors along the row. In this way the coming of a nnmelbss scourge was passed along in advance of the Government agent. Murderonii Chinese Secret Society Is The Boxer society, which is rcsponribla for the present troubles in China, is not of recent origin. It had its rise more than 250 years ago and was originally an, organization of radicals who are in favor of overthrowing the Mituchu sov­ ereignty and restoring the great Ming dy­ nasty. The present troubles may be re­ lated back to the disputes between the progressive party which had the Emperor for Its figurehead aud the conservative party of the. empress dowager. It will be recnembered that the Emperor blos­ somed out as a reformer aud issued sev­ eral edicts which made the representa­ tives of Chinn apudder with aversion and dismay.. Competent critics said at the time that bis methods were so crude and arbitrary as to be utterly impractical, though they wore inspired by correct mo­ tives. Events justified their predictions. Superstitions, lung-established customs and abuses could not be overcome at n word, and the reform movement played right into the hands of the Empress. Like roost- of her countrymen, she Im ted the foreigners. The reformers were the foreigners’ friends. Hence China for the Chines Was the import of a counter-rev­ olution. and such of the reform leaders as did not have their heads cut off were glad to escape to distant lands. After the Emprera wax restored to power tin- Fee Ho Chuan (righteousness, harmony and fists, hence Boxers) mar­ shaled their already well-organized secret society to assist in the work of discour­ aging those reformers who wege not dlscouragtHl enough already, and to help check the foreign devils, among whomt in spite of the contradiction in ternn^ were the missionaries. Ax time passed checking became murdering, and the wicked old woman either abetted• or winked nt the crime. That is why the imperial troops Jmivo made no headway against the so-called rebellion and why the powers have united in seif-protection. “In what year were you l»orn, Mrs. ONelUF’ asked a Philadelphia census man. • “Oh, I’m about sixty-five years old.

The long-disputed boundary Question between TenpesM-e and Virginia, which has tiora going on for ninety yean and Is a«erilH*d by some persons to the reluct­ ance of Home Virginian* to, continue in Tennessee, aud by others to the insistence of these A^rgininns now in Tcnnesxee to be incorporated in Virginia, has reached the United State* Supreme Court, and on behalf of Tennessee Attorney General Pickle has filed a brief. The controversy turns on the interpretation of the survey in 1801. The statement has bc,n frequently made among politicians that nine-tenths of the number of those who apply for appointment in the classified civil service fail to secure places and that the actual number of appointments is about 10 per cent of the number. The report of the ctrfhmisxkmere of civil service, the-muni­ cipal board, corroborates thia view, for last year in New York there were 1G.137 applications for appointment under which examinations were held and 1,70b ap­ pointments, including promotion*.

"Hugh nnd I have been friends all our lives." she answered quickly, “and when I see him neglecyted it m'' pahs." “But hr would never be neglected if he could only—well, if he could but throw himself n little more into things." said Godfrey. “Ye*; but you see that is,cgaetly what he seems to hare no power to do." “Well, it b unfortunate, certainly." re­ plied Godfrey. "It will be a great draw­ back to him, as far as ordinary Inter­ course with, the world goes. Not perhaps, however, that that matters much, for he seems to me such a clever fellow, that in hb profession 1 should think he would be sure to get on." “I am- glad to hear you say that,” ex­ claimed Joanne warmly. And then Godfrey winced again. It was no cutu-eru of hb. and yet it dis­ turbed tfini to fiercelve these sign> of exevrsive interest. Tbe man was very well in hb way. but considered in the charac­ ter of Joanne’s lover, Godfrey found that he could not think of him with-equaulm-' ity. He felt angry with Joanne because she seemed so fond of him. This discom­ posed Godfrey, and acted un the moment as a spur to incite him hnlf unconscious­ ly to put himself in the Ibt* against Mr. Hugh, and try hb strength with him. . CHATTER VU. 1, The rain came down heavily next morn­ ing, but the Jay cleared after some hours, and about eleven o'clock Godfrey.and bis friend issued from tbeir inn. A* they passed down the street they saw a onehorse fiy approaching them. "'Why, it’s the vicar!” they cried, and they went quickly forward, for Mr. Beresford, hav­ ing caught sight of them, had put bi* head out of the coach window aud was calling to the driver to stop. "I’m glad to see you, sirs: I’m glad to •ee you for a moment," he said, gravely, *s they came hastily up. “L’jn' sorry to gram with bad news this morping. My poor sister, Mrs. Russell, has had a atroke." cried Jack, sympathetically, and Godfrey said something, too, but be hardly knew what. He felt all at once as if h« had had a blow. The vicar’s broad shoulders filled np nearly all the window space a* he ira-ned out. but -Godfrey eoqld just catch sight of Joanne’s face ix-kind him, and, with. hnrdlv more than the Jum of a moment, he left Jack talking X* Mr. Beresford. and went to the other side of the coach and spoke to her. -This is bad news. Indeed. I don't be said, looking into her tore with eyes that were eloquent enough to make her color cmue. "Yes.

Jack exclaimed whon they hnd reached the road, and then he tklked of them all the way as they walked home; but Godfrey said very little. He was wondering under what circnih*taneefl,and when. he should see this place again— wondering, if he should return to it ns Joanne’s lover—wondering If he should ever come to it to take Joanfle away.

It will be remembered that four years ago John, Velte of Woodland was a candidate before the Republi­ can county convention for the office of county clerk and after a hard triangu­ lar fight, lacked five votes of getting the nomination. However, Mr. Velte did not sulk in his tent, but went to work for his successful rival as well I as for the remainder of the ticket, and the records show that his township gave a good round majority for every candidate on the county ticket. .From that time to the present Mr. Velte haa intended to again try his fortune and now can safely say to his many repub­ lican friends that his township will again indorse him for that office. He has of 'Course been opposed, but at two csnhmm jp^-which preparations were made to make a test vote, the party has stood by him and at the last caucus they did so in such unmistak­ able terms as to leave no doubt in the minds of an unprejudiced public that he was their choice. That caucus represented 76 votes and John Veit not only carried the organization but •all of the nine delegates as well. So I enthusiastic were they that they went to the county convention, I headed by that “Old War Horsa’’ Albert Barnum and hla faithful band.

The first essential is. is. to rescue the young emperor from tha ths nearly two blocks wide and its area wm confined to that portion of the town only through the most strenuous efforts of the Bloomington fire department, aided by rc-enforceuients'from Spribgficld apt! Pe­ oria. Dynamite proved a i>owerfol agen­ cy in. fighting the conflagration, and .some fine buildings were sacrificed to save the VJqsK? t0 l^e southwest of the court house. The conrt house stands n blackened shell, gutted from dome to basement, but the record* were removed nnd saved. The clock in the tower of the court bouse struck the hour of four before tbferouf fell. • Originating In the Moder Laundry, on Monroe, street, the .pillar of flame trav­ eled with marvelous rapidity across the intervening block to the court house square. In less thou an hour the entire block was destroyed, with the exception of the Government building, in which, was the postoffice. This structure* of fire-­ proof inaterinl escapcd unharmed, but the old Durley Theater aud several buildings being remodeled were destroyed with the rest of the lilock'. From the rapidity with which the fire spread it was soon apparent that the Bloomington department wns powerless aud messages -rfcre sent to the surround­ ing towns for aid. Response* were quick, but steam could run no race against the conflagration. Before the special train* carrying aid from Peoria could arrive the fire had encompassed the court bouse. In the block west of the square the west­ ern branch of the fire was checked by the conjbinejl efforts of th? departments and with a liberal use of dynamite. It seemed that the court-bousc square split the conflagration into, two wings, one circling to the blocks east of the square and the stronger gathering into its maw the blocks west and northwest. As soon ns the western branch was ren­ dered safe the departments hurried across the burned district fo the front of the eastern wing burning fiercely southeast of the conrt house. At the critical stage of the fire the water pjjessure was defi­ cient nnd the dcpar*.m«t« wcrepowcrleAs. Business men were?wmTwHedto sit with folded hands nnd ace their merchan­ dise destroyed with nothinc to check the onward march of-the tire. Dynamite was used with telling effect and the fire was cheeked more through th<* agency than with water. SOME AMUSING SIDE LIGHTS One Delegate Wanted a Hall Bay and Got u Physician. Philadelphia hotels have'some new-fan­ gled conveniences that some of the dele­ gates had trouble in getting along with. For-instance, at the Walton they have n taleseme system. If you want anything you turn a handle and push a button. A Southern delegate wanted to «-ull a hall­ boy, and he got his dates mixed. By vigorous repeated punches of the bntton he drew two gin rickcys, the bouse physi­ cian. and the bend laundress, the fire de­ partment and his mail. But it is not only this machine that bothers the delegates. Most of the hotels are fitted with electric lights. A Montana (pan landed in a room where an electric globe was tied by a wire to the head of his bed. It had been placed there, of course, tn enable him to read after he had retired. The Montana sunn wapn’t used to electric light. He could Dot find any way to stop that thing shining In his eyes. He tried hiding It under the bed. Finally he got up and put it away in the bureau drawer, and then shut the drawer on It. The chambermaid found It there whtn she made up the room, while the Mon­ tana man went down to the cleriy and swore that be was going to change hu hotel. News of Minor Note. Northwestern *'*L" road.

Ba ward, China declared war against «<be world when the Taku forts opened fire upon the international fleet. The accounts of what took place are unsatisfactory, the best semi-official Information being a dispatch received at Berlin from Chefoo. The In­ ternational fleet captured the northern Tuku forts after a battle that lasted •oven hours, and the lighter-draught ves­ sels pushed on up the Pei-Ho. During the bombardment of the forts a shell ex­ ploded the Chinese magazine. The allies sustained small damage >d the fight. Six men on board the British barkentinc Al­ gerine were wounded. The Russians and Japanese, now that the forts have been forced, will land many troopa, and Ameri­ can troops will proceed immediately from Mapila to Tientsin. The unofficial narratives, coming by way of Shanghai, vary widely and bear internal evidence of supplementing-tbe main facts with guess work. One phipatch says that the Yorktown participat­ ed in the bombardment. Another asserts that American marines formed part of the storming force of 3,000. An Asso­ ciated Press dispatch from Cbefoo says: “The forts on Isolli sides of Taku are now occupied. The Chinese opened fire unex­ pectedly. The casualties to the.mixed force were as follows: Killed, British 1. German 3, Russian 1, French 1: wound­ ed. BritLsh 4. German 7. Russian 45, French 1. Chinese tqrpcdo boats were seized.” T>Iscoverlng that the Chinese were plac­ ing torpedoes in the river and heavily gar­ risoning the forts, nnd^making other war­ like preparations, the foreign command­ ers assembled on the Russian flagship and uddr|®Kd an ultimatum tn the com: manders If the Taku forts, calling npon them to withdraw their troops before 2 o'clock on Sunday morning. The troops were wild to have been, brought from Shan-IIai-Kwan, and probably were those lately supposed to l>c marching west to put themselves under the com­ mand of Gen. Tung.

Of the Europitnn Iosm>s sixteen wore killed and forty-five wounded by the explosion on the Russian warship. On the litis three were killed nnd seven wounded. On the Algerine one mnn was killed nnd four wounded. The forts on both sides of the river an- now occupied, and the Chinese torpedo boat* captured. The return of Admiral Seymour's force to Tien-Tsin—due largely Jo lack of food —is regarded ns a humiliating check, nnd one likely to encourage the Boxer^ to fur­ ther harass the Eurois ans in Pekin. The allied forces found cut.in front of them, and were faced by 10,000 Im­ perial troofw, who are now regarded ns Boxers pure nnd simple. Then the line was cut behind them, and tbe force could not get from Tien-Tsin tbe supplies need­ ed. The retreat is not to be marveled at, being assuredly necessary, but In the eyes oLthe army and navy officials it amount* to a nerioua disaster. Attack Ordered from Pekin. The Shanghai correspondent af the London Daily Mail says: "Tbe forts be­ gan firing in observance of orders from Pekin, conveyed in a personal edict of tlw empress dowager, by advice of Kung Yi I (president of the ministry of war). Sereril warships were struck by shell* from the twelve-inch guns of the forts. The heavy Russian losses were due to the blowing up of toe magazine at Mandshur. Four hundred Chinese arc report- i ed to hare been killed. Tbe Chine**, when rotreating. fell into tbe hands -of the Russian land force." The London Dally News has the fol­ lowing from Chefoo: "Two of the forts were blown up. The thirty-two warship* at Taku aggregated 200,000 tons and csrried more than 300 guns.

Chin* Ha* 1,000,000 Fighting Men, .China’s regular army, known as "The Eight Banners,” nominally contain* about 300,000 descendants of the Machu c^mqnerurs.and their allies, but the num­ ber maintained m a'war footing*is from 80,000 to 100,000, divided into three groups, consisting rqgpqctlveljr of Mauchus, Mongols and Chinese. The military is a sort of hereditary profession, within which intermarriage is compnlsory. About 37,000 men arc in garrison in Manchuria; the imperial guard at Pekin contains from 6,000 to 7,060 men. these Ix-jjag the troops relied upon to defend the foreign legations aq^J protect fun-ign interest* from tnc mobs. The Ying Ping, or national army, call­ ed also "The Green Flags" and "The Five Camps." consists of eighteen corps, one for. each province under-the governor or governor general. Its nominal strength is from 540,000 to (kUl.Otxt men, of whom aitont 200,000 are available for war, nev­ er moro than one-third, however, being called out. The most important contin­ gent is the Tc Tien-Tsiu army corps, nominally 100,000 strong, really about 35,(XX), with modem organization, drill, nnd arms, employed in garrison duty at Tien-Tsin.

Cheefoo advices re|»orted that the bombardment of Th-n-Tsin. re­ sulted in the foreign concessions being nearly all burned and the American con­ sulate rased to the ground. The Rus­ sians were repotted to be occupying the railroad station, but were hard pressed. Tfie apprehensions as to the fate of the Euro|x*nna cut off at Tien-Ttrin were sharpened by*Admiral KempflTs message, which was the first definite announce­ ment yf the bombardment- and destruc­ tion of the foreign foncessidu. But. a London correspondent says that in spite of Shanghai's grim statement that the Chinese used forty-ponndef*. ami that 1,500 foreigners were tdqMacred. there is no reason to conclude that the foreign colony has Iwen unable to protect itself. A Shanghai dispatch report* that Tien­ Tsin was bombarded for two days, that the casualties were 100, that 5.000 inter­ national* troops are there and that the allied commanders at Taku are hastily pushing forward a relief column. Anoth­ er Shanghai dispatch announces that all the member* of the foreign corunwmity of Pei-Tni-Ho have arrived at Chefoo on board the Nashville, but they left all their possessions behind them. All the English women at Tien-T>in left there Saturday by a train for Taku. Shanghai wire* that they hud some ex­ citing experiences and would uut have got through except for the assistance of the Chinese troops. The Boxers made several 'desperate attempts to attack the train.

It is nearly always the case when a national convention is held in a small dty with a few first-class hotels that the dining room* are jammed at meal time so that those who are paying for their.meals on the "American plan” are unable to get near the tables for hours. When ev­ ery seat is token the management closes the doors of tbe dining room in the face of a dense mob besieging them and lets the people in by the half dozen as the diners get through and go out.

Tba Glorious Fourth !■ Celebrated Over the W bole World. The glorioiia Fourth is celebrated the world over. It is not confined- to the United States alone, by any means. It is often satd that the sud never sets upon the British amptre. It is equally true that it never seta upon the American Fourth of July. Even beyond our territorial limits the day ia honored all over the world, wherever there is an American consular officer or naval ship. Ths latter particu-, larly art the scene* of celebration well up to the importance of the great holiday. Early in the morning the ship is dn-ssed with many colored flags, all saaeccasary work is stopped, national salutes are fired at noon, and tbe day is largfilg devoted to athletic sports, such a* rowing w nailing. matches, games of bsW'bfill, etc.,•on share. If practicable.' and to the men as well as officers it is a day of good cheer, the ta­ bles being spread with as bounteous re­ pasts, fore and aft. as the market* will afford. The naval regulations are relaxed . and it i« generally a day of raiment equalled by no other day of the year sdvc Christmas. • ■ : Whenever strips of forrlgr. nations are in port at the same time a* the Amgfryb they are officially notified of tin* caadug holiday, and rerpuwted to participate tn its celebraClta. This they Invariably do. decorating and aalntiug with the Ameri­ can vessel*. In this connect ion may be mentioned a curious thing, wefl known to all navy men. As ruay easily be imagined, tbe day f» not mm» cah-ulated to give senaations of unalloyed pleasure to the Bnb ish, aa it celebrate* the declaration of In­ dependence from the British yoke. Still, It would be very,discourteous fagEnjdish- there is an American warship on the Fourth of July. Ordinarily, thia can be managed by adjusting the vessels' move­ ments to thls/nd. but when, as often hap­ pens, the American ship happens in un­ awares, the British ship makes an cxcust* for being away that day, as, for example, on the pretext of going out to sea for tar­ get practice. It very seldom has happened that a British ship has had to join the celebrations of the Fourth, but When they have done so, it has been with good grace. Similar honors to the day are paid at every military post of the United States. Tbe day is given over to amfbementa, sports nod formal ceremonies, such as saltiteH, parades. etc. Soldiers, though, do not as n rule get so mudh unadulterated pleasure out of the day as sailors, as one of The time-honored traditions of tbe day is a long parade,* which is anything but pleasurable in the hot July weather, espe­ cially wto-n. ar Is often the case, tbe pA’aderw have to stand for long periods aud'lwt«« to the words of the orators, infere Taking up tbe hot, dusty, ' march homeward. In most of the large cities of the earth there is a goodly American oniony, and these always unite in their deference to the day. This is es|»raially so in London, Berlin and Paris, where the American colonies are both large and influcatial.

At the close of the games all ad­ journ to the race track, where horse racing is indulged in until darkness Cts a stop to the sport, if so it may called. Races are generally three mile races and are sometimes run by the most worthless looking cay uses on the reservation. One peculiar feature 8f these races is that if you bet anyilng on the races you are allowed to get behind or beside your favorite and lambast him at every jump of the three miles. This insures getting all tbe run out of a horse that he Is capa­ ble of giving, but it looks-pretty tough to see fifteen or twenty bowling devils beating a poor, tired out cayuse who has done his best and failed. Prior to the race beta are made—the sporty ones yelling “fou’ bite on sollel hoBB," "doual on sollel hoss” etc. until the start, when betting ceases. The old squaws, and young ones, too, who sit back from the center of attrac­ tion, occasionally ride up and place a bet on their favorite, with as much in­ difference as any booky that ever cashed a coupon.

Correspondents can not be too care ful in spelling proper names correctly. There is no rule for the spelling of many proper names and when a com­ positor or proof reader must guess at the writer’s copy he is very liable to get a letter or sb inserted that is not the one which should be there. The officers elected in the Congrega­ tional Y. P. S* C. E. for the next six months are: President, Clarence Grohe: vice president^ Esta Feighner; secretary.

George Witte raised a fipe barn on his place west of the village last Sat­ urday. A large number of the friends and neighbors assisted in the raising, to all of whom George wishes to ex­ press his thanks. Tne barn is a sub­ stantial building. 30 x 50 feet, and went up nicely, without accident. The people who always want some­ thing to worry about in order to be happy should keep the following in mind. It is claimed tnis is the year for for the 17-year locusts. The 17­ year locusts were here In 1839,1866 and 1883, and will appear again this year unless all previous experiences go for naught. The way to keep on good terms with vour neighbors—if you keep chickens— is to build a chicken yard by doubling the sides with wire netting, put a strong roof over it, then crop the chickens’ wings. A safer way is to "dehorn” them just where the head and neck join. By following these instructions perfect harmony is sure to prevail. An exchange asks why should the character of a working girl who Is honestly trying to earn her own living be questioned any quicker than that of a girl who is born and raised in affluence? There is certainly a dijfnity in labor, and a person who sneers or casts reflections on a working girl be­ cause she works is not fit to nave a woman for a mother. The report of Game and Fish War­ den Morse, states that a telal of 147 complaints were investigated by that official and his deputies during the month.’ There were 56 arrests. 54 be­ ing for violations of the fish laws. These resulted in 48 convictions, 4 acquittals and 2 dismissals, while two cases are still pending. The total amount of fines and costs collected was M87.40. There were seizures of fish and unlawful sized nets to the vUlue of ♦288.56. The postoffice department has under consideration a plan whereby the name oL’the postoffice shall be placed upon stamps where sold. This idea is to provide means of identication when stamps are stolen from any post office, and also io prevent the boycotting of postmasters. a practice in some of the smaller towns of the country.

Advices from Chefuo via Shanghai «ny that Admiral Seymour's expedition bus been relieved, having feil«xl to connect with Pekin. The* Berlin foreign office also received news from a Russian source confirming the report that Admiral Seymutir-js safe and that the ambawadors and legation staffs are with him. The report says that the relief forces reached the international troops just in time. Ad­ miral Seymour's expedition Is returning to Tien-Tsin. Ill* force suffered greatly. The announcement that Admiral Sey­ mour’s relief force has been rescued is welcome to the .western world. This in­ ternational force left Tien-Tnin for Pekin when the foreign legation* in the capital were threatened with attack. It appears now that Admiral Seymour’did not enter Pekin, but his main object wa» accom­ plished when the foreign ministers and residents, with their own guards, had been coudueted out of the capital and placed under his protection. His return march to Tien-Tsin has been slow, the Chinese mobs having harassed him great­ ly. A dispatch from London say* the sit­ uation in China is clearing slowly, but surely.

"You are making up your utind to go nway," •he eaid, “but why is it imperative that you should go? Could you not bring yourself to think of Margaret as your wife? Consider the case, Gotlfrcy. Think i how good she is. how she cares for you, how she is already to me like a daugh“But, mother, you do not understand.” He had put up his hand to stop her speech. “You do not understand,” he re­ peated, feeling as if the blood wa* leaving hi* heart, “It is not that. I am not blind to all there is to love in Margaret, but— I have other plan*. If you force me to tell you—I care for lomeone els^’’ She looked at him with her lips apart; for a moment or two the surprise or the pain of his answer seemed to take away her breath: :hen she asked, almost withoat any appearance of .emotion: "Are you saying'thia seriously?" “Do I look as if I were jestfaig?" he re­ plied. “Is it uue of those girls you were with at Brentwood? Which one?” she asked, quickly, without giving him time to an­ swer her first question. “The second—Joanne," he said. "Are you’engaged to her?" Poor boy, his heart gave a bound as she put that inquiry. “I wish I were.'’ he said! “Oh. my dear, my heart is full qf pity for you,” and suddenly nt last Mrs. Hel­ stone rose and went to her son, and put her hands upon hl* arm; “I am full of sympathy for you; I know I am giving you pain; but do you tbiak it i* a rare thi*' r for either men or women to find that they must give up their first love? They suffer when they do' it. and they think sometime* that it will break their hdarts; but It doe* not break their heart* —not once in ■ thousand caaes. And, Godfrey, I will only *ay this one word more—only this one. If you will not do what I ask you—if you resolve to go back to Miss Beresford, knowing what you do about my poor girl—I warn you thnt you will not be satisfied with yourself: you may win Miss Beresford, but you will not win peace of mind.” And then she turned from him and went quickly out of (be roqm. and poor Godfrey was left alone to his own thoughts. The days passed, nnd Godfrey stayed on at home, for his only object inrdesiring to go to town had been the object of seeing Joanne, and, wkh that defeat­ ed, he did not care now where he went. Day after day be stayed, bat day after day he grew more silent and grave. He used still to come sometimes and take Margaret’s book out of her hand. He stood this morning by her sofa look­ ing down at the poor white face that had so little charm for him—looking ar it and Involuntarily picturing the time when he might h$ve this, nnd not Joanne’*, by his side as the one woman’s face, that he ought to hojd .the dearest - till the tiniid pale eyes looked up un­ easily and met his own—poor ea, with sahc wistful sadne** in them, with so little else that touched him. He stopped Dr. Carson in the hall nn hour afterward, -and asked hiuj wha: he thought of her. and Dr. Garson shuok bi* head. ■ • “I never was les* satisfied with a pa­ tient in my life," he said. “I hare just been telling Mrs. Helstone that I should like some one else to see her. She has got into the -most unaccountably- de­ pressed state. I can’t understand It. lor my own part; but unless she can be got out of it again. I tell you plainly she will go off into a decline, nnd if shejlccs that she won’t live through the winter.” They were standing at tho hnl! door a* they talked together. A minute after­ ward the doctor, went out to.his carriage, and. without any cause, Godfrey turned round nnd went ngain upstairs. The mnn who walks to the cannon’s mouth will sometimes perforin that act with ler* emotion than he has felt ov»'r soinc of the trivial incidents of life: and so, in like manner, poor Godfrey Ilelston* went to .’.is cannon’s month nt last simply and quietly, with hnrdly a quickening in the benting of his pulse. He was conscious that the end had dome, but for the mo­ ment It scarcely moved him. He was thinking tflmost wholly of Margaret— hardly of himself at all—hardly, at first, even of Joanne. He went Into Mr*. Helstone’* morning­ room. whore his cousin was ly’rg. nnd sat down beside her. and ex(*rt«*d himself to talk to her. As be talked she bright­ ened. Presently, looking into ter face, he told her that she was grieving thorn “We want you to get well, and you don’t get well,” he said, “What I* there more that we can do for you?" And then he paused for a moment or two, just long enough to see the-quiver that came to her lips, and after that (pause he added, “Shall I help to nurse you again'*" "Oh. I couldn’t ask you,” she *nid, timidly. “It would be too much trouble." “It would be no trouble.’’ he answered, “if you would wire for it. Nothing could be a troubl<Mjiat would-make you writ” And then, wifhout saying any­ thing more, he remained with her. It wa* curious to watch the change that or? na few day* of happiness made in Margaret. “Hcydey, thi* is something new!" Dr. Carson exclaimed, with almost a chuckle of glee, when, twenty-four hours after he had left her looking a* if her life were ebbing away, be came back to see the white face meet him with a smile of wel­ come. He felt her pulse; he nodded hi* head with sattafarftoii; he sat by her side and senttiniaed her. “You an* better." he said; "not a doubt about it. Why, yon are wonderfully bet­ ter! Come, come, this is a* good as can be.” And he spoke presently to Mrs. Helstone, and congratulated her heartily. "She is another creature this morning." he said. "What have you managed to do to her?” . ' • “I think something happened yester­ day," Mr*. Helstone answered, with just the suspicion of a smile upon her lips: and then Dr. Carson laughed, and rubbed his hand*. "Ab, the very thing I thought.r* he ex­ claimed. "Didn’t I tell you it was men­ tal depression? What she wanted was something to give her a fillip. I<et her be happy; only make her happy, and keep her so, and you needn’t have a fear for her." Bo when the doctor was gone, Mr*. Helstone told her son that bis sole pre­ scription tor hi* . patient wa* that she should be kept hippy; aud Godfrey took lil* burden oh hi* back, and did the work he had made up his toted to do. After a week she had rallied enough for them to begin to talk again about try­ ing a change of nir for her; but at first, when they spoke of this in her hearing, she looked as if the thought of ft did not make her glad. "Need 1 go anywhere?" she said, wist­ fully. .. - : t “Why should you object to ger God­ frey asked her.

THIRTY-FIVE PLUNGE TO DEATH. Fall Sixty Feet Into a Tprrent Beneath the Southern Railway. . Thirty-five persons io»t their lives in a wreck on the Southern Railway, one qiila north of McDonough, Ga., and twentysix miles south of Atlanta, at 0’20 o’clock Saturday night. Although a flood of ruin was failing and the train was partially submerp-d in the bed of a raging creek, many of the victims were burned to death. The train, running at the rate of forty miles au hour, plunged into Camp creek, and engine, cars aud sleeper were piled up together. The storm bnd caused a torrent Of water to rush down the creek, sweeping away the 125-foot trestle just before the appearance of the train, which rounded a currrf and fell over a bank six­ ty feet high. Hamps in the.coaches ex­ ploded, setting Dre to the cars, and many of the. victims who were pinned down were burned to death, others were drown­ ed in the rushing water nnd still others were killed by the wreckage and fearful fail of the train. A flagman named Quininn was one of the first to get out of the wreck. He ran to’McDonough, notified the telegraph op­ erator of the wreck nnd fell fainting to the floor. Citizens organized rescuing parties at midnight and the work was kept up all night nnd the next day. with the result that thirty-five bodies have been recovered.

Seven hundred delegates out of a poaaiblt .1,034 attended the first day’s ses­ sion, and others came in during the night on late trains to be present at the nomi­ nating contest Thursday. Fully one-third of those who participated in the conven­ tion work were women. In the platform as adopted but one iasue is dealt with—the suppression of tbe "legalized liquor traffic.”’ The McKinley administration came in for a vigorous ar­ raignment. In the committee on resolu­ tions there were several members who favored the adoption of a woman’s suf­ frage plank, and they made an earnest fight for their principle. A compromise was effected in the shape of a rider reso­ lution. The vote in favor of the platform and the-equal suffrage resolution was practically unanimous. E. W. Chnflin, Waukesha, 'Vis., was chairman of the resolutions committee, nnd A. A. Hop­ kins. HornellMville, N. Y.. who read the platform, whs secretary. Tbe convention adjourned nt 10 o’clock Wednesday night to meet at 10 o’clock Thursday morning. The galleries were well filled at all the sessions in spite of the intense hfcat. '■ Chairman Dickie called the conferees to order nt 10:13 n. tn. Thursday. Th" report of committee on credentials, which was read and accented, showed 730 del­ egates present and thirtyfteven States represented. Chairman Oliver W. Stew­ art, at the call for misceltanCous -inmness. took the platform to speak in be­ half of the executive committee and out­ line the plan of campaign. When nominations fur President were declared open Arkansas yielded to Illi­ nois. Chairman Bh’t>en. of Illinois, de­ clared the State had two candidates. O. W. Stewart took the platform to nomin­ ate John G. Woolley, of Chicago. Gen. W. Gere, of Champaign. Bl., presented tbe name of. Hale Johnson, of Newton. Ill. Homer Castle, of Pittsburg, named Rev. S. C. Swallow. A motion to ad­ journ was lost and’ the convention pro­ ceeded to ballot. The vote stood: Woolley. 380; Swallow, 320. Immediately following the an­ nouncement of the result of the vote on the presidential nominee, A. A. Stevens, Pennsylvania, moved thnt the rules be suspended and that Silas C. Swallow be declared unanimously the choice of the convention for vice-president. This mo­ tion started the most enthusiastic demon­ stration of the convention. Tho Penn­ sylvania delegation withdrew to the gal­ lery, where Dr. Swallow-told the mem­ ber* that for reasons which he had not time then to give he would not be a can­ didate for second place. When this announcenumt was made on the floor the call of States fur nomina­ tions began. Henry B. Metcalf of Rhode Island, Prof. E. L. Eaton of Iowa, Thoa. R. Carskadon of West Virginia and Jas A.

Waller which attempted the relief of Tien-Tsin was repulsed Thursday and re­ turned Friday to Taku. Among those killed were four Americans. An armor­ ed train bearing a reconnoitering party was derailed Thursday night near Tien­ Tsin. The French concession in TicnTsln is reported to have been burned. The governor of Shantung province reports that Admiral Seymour Sited the interna­ tional advance guard arrived safely in Pekin. The receipt of the news in Washington announcing that Americans had been kill­ ed resulted in orders being' forwarded Rear Admiral Romey, in command of the Asiatic station, with headquarters, at Ma­ nila. to proceed at opce with the Brook­ lyn to Taku and sMtune direction of af­ fairs there in behalf of our nary. There was n hurried conference at the White House before the orders to Admiral Remey yere issued, and the necessity of forwarding n^enforcements to the Amer­ icans ashore in China was emphasized by the unusual instructions for the ad­ miral to take aboard and transport to China all the soldiers he could accommo­ date. Admiral KemptTs report that four Americans were killed and seven wound­ ed in the ambuscade of Waller's force caused the gravest concern among Wishington officials.

They were loath to believe tjie report because of so much unreliable information having recently, been sent out from Shanghai. Axitte from this, they argued that tbs Oregon has been considered the iuaki**t battleship In tha navy, and Is under the command of Captain Wilde, who has ths reputa­ tion of being one of tbe most careful saitera In the navy. The idta of th* Charleston, however, was recalled, and one naval officer was loud in bte denun­ ciation of tbe defective charts 'of those commandeni for the want of more accu­ rate guides to navigation. This -officer said that the accident probably was due to one of these charts being followed too closely. Tbe Oregon had on Ixtard in ad­ dition to its regular crew 1(54.Miters and marines brought to Hong Kong from Ma­ nila by the Zafiro. -The distance the bat­ tleship bad to travel was about 1,500 miles. The battleship Oregon excited the won­ der of naval men all over the world by its long voyage and the leading part it took in the battl< of Santiago at the close of the journey. The trip covered a distance greater than half way around the world, yet soon after the ship's arrival In Cnban waters, with no time for refitting, the battle of Santiago was fought, and Id that contcat the Oregon won highest hon­ ors. The ship was begun ih 1891 at the Union Iron works in Bun Francisco, at a contract price of J3.1S0.000. and was launched on Oct 23. 1894. It made its official trial run on May 14, 1890. exceed­ ing the required speed to such a degree that the builders earned a bonus of J175,000. The speed developed was 10.78 knots an hour, the bonus being $25,000 for every one-quarter knot over fifteen knots. This performance elated the bulldera, anti the City of Portland 'showed its appreciation by presenting a silver sirvice valued at $20,000 to the ship.

It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly re­ commend any of tbe various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet ns a preventive irf suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine fn our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many case* a dose of this rem­ edy would save hours of suffering while a physician Is awaited. Wo do not believe in depending implicit? on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamborlain’s Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the in­ ception of an attack much suffering might lx* avoided and in very many caaea the presence of a physician would not be re­ quested. At least this has been our ex­ perience during the past -twenty years. The i-obfnics of France alone imported M.'.UMt,uuO worth of goods a year. This helps materially to keep tbe factories busyJ and to afford a market for the farm pro­ ducts of that European country. MILLIONS GIVEN AWAY Millions of boxes of Dr. A. W.

' There is every reason to believe that the Thirty-fourth National En­ campment of the Grand Army of the Republic,- which occurs in Chicago from August 2« to September 1. will be the most largely attended affair of the kind ever held in the United States: mAh Chicago is making pro­ visions aid arrangements with this thought in mind. It has raised nearly ¥100,000 to defray the general expen­ ses of Ute encampment. One of the features of the big event will be a mag­ nificent court of honor, stretching foi nearly a mile along Michigan avenue with triumphal arclies at either end. It Is to cost 825,000. Through this noble avenue will march the surviving heroes of the war, reviewed by Presi­ dent McKinley, and other notable guests. There will be reunions, vamp­ fires and paradesbig parade of the Grand Army oceuring on Tuesday, August 28. There are to be band con­ certs in all park* of the city and fire­ works every night during the week. Chicago has an excellently organized committee for the care and entertain­ ment of visitors. .The Board of Educa­ tion has placed all of-the fine school buildings at the disjxjsal of the com­ mittee on free accommodations: and the hotels throughout the city have agreed not to raise rates or over-crowd rooms. The G. A. R. encampment committee is located at Suit fill, ,The Temple. Hon. William H. Harper is executive directer; and Col. J. H. Wood is chairman of the executive committee. The various committees are composed of the leading men of Chicago. I«I3 YEARS OLD. Zmts. C. M. Putnam has always been very generous with her commodious and* elegant home on different occa­ sions, and last Thursday she furthered her reputation aloa^TtLls line by en­ tertaining several of the oldest ladies in our village. There are . twenty-one women living in town whose ages are above seventy years, all of whom were invited to the party, but the following six were unable to attend on account of absence and ill health: Mesdames Frink, Stine, Gaines, Kocher, Navue und Clise. Those who were present were Mesdames Fuller, Brooks, Hick­ man, Stevens, Surine, Troxel, Hess, Weber, Allen, Raymond, Wells. Hol­ ler, Dailey, lugerson and Irland. Mesdames Wolf, Osborn and Corbett, who are over sixty years of age, were also invited as guests. The ages of those present, including the hostess, aggregated 1412 years, an average of over severity four years. There were four octogenarians in the company^ The guests arrived at the home of Nfrs. Putnam in the forenoon, remained for dinner and were conveyed to their re­ spective abodes late in the afternoon. This occasion jraa certainly a rare treat for our venerable ladies and they all spent a day of solid enjoyment. The gathering was a most commendable act on the part of Mrs. Putnam, who is ever mindful of those whose life is not all happiness and sunshine. Unless we have more sunshine and leas rain the wheat crop will be a total failure. Farmers say that it has al­ ready begun to grow in the sho .Its. Strew Commissioner Woodard has been putting in some fine cement cross walks the past week. The streets now begin to look a» if we lived in town. All the liars are not dead. The Mobile News *ays that an artist in that city painted a dog so natural that the'dog had hydrophobia during the hot weather. He’s the same whd painted a copy of a beer buttle with such skill that the cork flew out just as he was finishing it. After he was married he painted a picture of his first baby so life-like thpt it cried and his wife spanked it before she discov­ ered her mistake. The soldiers of Barry county are making great preparations for their Sixth Annual Picnic m the fair grounds August 15, 16 and 17. Every soldier in the county should attend this en­ campment wilt his family. Good quarters will be provided free of cost. They will have 20 state tents. A fine prpgram each day with a barbecue dinner Friday. Every . soldier must register aud pay 10 cents for a badge which will provide him with cof­ fee, tea, sugar and milk for the three days. * Dun Garlinger had some improve­ ments made on the wooden walk in front uf bh buhdlrig, now occupied by Wm. Latimer, Wednesday, and wheth­ er or not he had a right to do it, ac­ cording to the village ordinance re­ lating to the building of cement walks on Main street, has been the sole topic of conversation on the streets since the alteration was made. Yesterday inoftiing a written notice to comply with the ordinance was served on' Mr. Garlinger and further developements remain to be seen. (This week Nashville mourns the de­ parture of another of her most promi­ nent and highly esteemed families, Mr. and Mr». F. M. Smith and son Horace.

A strike remarkable in the history of the country was that of the employes of the St Louis Transit Company, which was brought to a close last week. The ‘ agreement reached by the employers and workmen provides that every employe the company is free to join any organisa­ tion or union and no discrimination will be made against or for those who exer­ cise this freedom. It was a growl that an attempt by an employe or official to in­ duce any employe by any means what­ soever to join or not to join any labor union shall be cause for the dismissal of the offender. The company decided that it would meet and discuss matters with any employe or committee of employes,whether representing themselves, other employes, or an association of employes, regarding any matter of mutual interest. In the matter of filling vacancies, the strikers will be given the preference and from a list to be prepared by the em­ ployes the company will choose men ex­ clusively until the name* are exhausted.

To grow.good clover seed it should not^bo left until nil the seed his ripen­ ed before cutting, as thus much of the best seed, that from the earliest aud largest blossom*, will rattle out and be lost. Much of that which seems to be only partially ripened will germi­ nate quite as well and bring as vigor­ ous plants as the ripest seed. Handle and run* the clover just as If it was.to l»e jnnde into hay excepting cutting It later, and the straw wHl lie h good hay after It Is threshed,- not quite as good ns tbe early cut hay. but quite ns good ns any late-cut hay for horses or cat­ tie. It Is thought tbe best method of growing clover seed. to cut the first crop of clover for hay, as early as It Is fit, and let the second crop grow and ripen seed. Some go so far ns to say that the seed from the first crop is not as good as that from the second crop or rowen, blit we think the real advant­ age is getting the crops of hay. and perhaps there may be better weather for curing the seed at the late mowing than in June.

We first learned of this from using this mixture for the scale insect or mite which causes scaly legs on fowl.

We never had occasion to try It for lousy animals, for we never had one, !>ut we do not hesitate to recommend It and we have lately seen Its use ad­ vised for ticks on sheep, using n gill of kerosene to one gallon of milk. We did not make our mixture ns strong of kerosene as that, but perhaps the larger tick may need a stronger appli­ cation than an insbet so small as to be scarcely visible to the naked eye.— American Cultivator.

We want to make July the Greatest Month's Clothing Business in our, history, and if Extraordinarily Low Prices count for anything we will do it easy. WHEN TO ADVERTISE. We have in our midst some mer­ chants who can only be induced to advertise at certain seasons of. the h .year, and then in between times when business is not so brisk and they need it more than ever, they send word to their local paper to kindly discontinue advt. for the present, and they will take it up again as soon as business is better. Turn about is fair play. Let’s look and see how the merchant /•tins his store. Does he retain in his era- j .ploy a clerk who oould only sell to I people that before coming in had | made up their minds as to what they | desired to purchase? No, he does | not. To be of value to him he wants . a clerk possessing such ability and skill in handling goods as to be able; to bring out all the good qualities of 1 the article for sale, and to do it in such a manner that'the party looking at merchandise would be attracted and interested and thereby purchase. Yet this same merchant will use that rule in the selection of his clerks aud will not apply the same principle to his advertisements.

Our Muscular Force. According to experiments with the dynamometer, a man is precisely his weakest when he turns out of bed. The muscular force Is greatly increased by breakfast, but It attains to its highest point after tbe mid-day meal. It then sinks for a few hours nnd rises again toward evening. Tbe chief foes of mus­ cular force are overwork and tho other extreme—Idleness. Many of the great workers of the world, though not all, have been early risers. But early ris­ ing ought always to be supplemented by early breakfasting. Old Muhic Discovered. An important musical discovery la re­ ported from Vienna in tbe shape of manuscript compositions by Schubert and Beethoven, which have come to light in tbe archives of tbe Petersklrciie.

The pres* agrvoa that tbe dis-, patch of so large a force is • duty in tbe interest^ of humanity, but asstrts that a UrgH measure ot responsibility. for the troubles rests upon Ruxsia and Germany because of their arbitrary action in Chinn. It was reported from Shanghai Thursday that Gen. Nieh had made a de­ tour nnd entered Pekin with b.QOO tm-n. In order to force his way into the city be bad to light Prince Tuan’s army. Ia the course of tbe fighting he i» said tp have lost 2.’fJ men. He is reported ts hate rescued Prince Ching, who was sorely beset by Prinee Tuan’s army and the Boxers. Despite tbe assurances of tbe Chinese officials that nil is well with tbe foreign­ ers at Pekin, intense uneasiness prevails throughout Great Britain. Grave rumors come from Chefoo respecting the case of affairs in Tien-Tsin. It ia said that the allies nre bolding ibeir own with ex­ treme difficulty nnd that it is becoming, mare and more difficult to resist the at­ tacks of the enemy aud maintain commu­ nication with Taku. In consequence of . the movements of the rebels toward TsinTnu the Germans have withdrawn some ot their troops from Taku 'to - protect Tsin-Tnu. The Russian legation at Pekin, which is now believed to hare been massacred, consisted of fourteen members. Tbe ' mob pillaged the legation nnd burned the official archives. They also destroyed the Greek church attached to the lega­ tion and stole a large sum of money they found in the legation building. Tbe Cos­ sack .Guards were all slaughtered. The Chinese legation in Hi.

Some changes in the orig­ inal plans of the building had already been made, and Mr. McDerby asked the Doctor to settle, but they could not see alike and the former brougnt suit to recover damages. After a te­ dious and long-drawn-out nearing, a judgment ’ was rendered against the doctor for tlOjand the costs of the suit. Hon. W. W. Potter of Hastings and E. D.

Convinced that his son had been mur­ dered, the father began pursuit of the murderer. Jester was traced to Indiana, and back to Kansas, and was captured near Wichita. ’ in - Hs jiossestdon were found a watch, rtfap, rlnfcrebowie knife, and an antelope skin waistcoat of pecu­ liar appearance—all tbe property of the missing boy. Evidence which seemed sufficient to convict him was secured. It was so conclusive that, at Paris, Mo., a mob was organized to lynch tbe prison­ er. Tbe sheriff, however, transferred Jester to tbe jail at Mexico, Mo., from which he escaped through a tunnel of his own making. Here ends the second chapTwenty-nine years later Mrs. Cornelia Street wrote to the sheriff of Sedgwick County, Missouri, to tell him the circum­ stances of the Gates murder. She said that the murderer was her half brother, living in Shawnee. Ok., under the name of W. A. HUI. John W. Gates of Chi­ cago. brother of the murdered man. took up tbe case. Hill, or Jester, then a regu­ larly ordained minister of the Christian Church, was arrested. He admitted that he was formerly known as Alexander Jester, and that Mrs. Cornelia Street was his half sister, but he denied ell-knowl­ edge of the crime charged against him. Here ends the third and begins the fourth chapter with the opening of the trial at New London, Mo. The story is unique In the criminal his­ tory of this conntry. When Jester was arrested, twenty-nine years after the crime charged against him, it was believed that few witnewes could be brought into court. But the cireumstaneea tinder which the two men trav­ eled, the general attention given to the trick buffalo calf, and the incidents of the last two or three days of their Jour­ ney, all had caused the people of the n- Tenth Annual Convention la Held in Cincinnati.

Is it-not foolish to risk the possible results of such experiments?

Do’ not therfore let anyone persuade you to try some­ thing which they say is just as good. It ennnot be just as good. Mrs. Pink­ ham's Compound is the 'best, and there can be only one best.

The Chinese were completely routed and. th* allies took possession of the native city and its defenses." The total losses of tin* allies in the engagements of Thursday. Friday aud Saturday were about SOO killed or wounded. The casualties were greatest ■among the Bussiaus and Japanenr." The guns of the allies did immense -damage to the native city, causing many large conflagrations, nnd finally silenced tbe majority of the enemy's guns, simul­ taneously. Then tbe 1,500 Russians, as­ sisted by small parties of Gormans and French, assaulted and captured right guns that were in position on the rail­ way embankment and the fort. th<- maga­ zine of which "the French subxe<iuenlly blew up.

His list of killed nnd wound­ ed is somewhat fuller than ^«* first re­ port. Total killed and wounded report­ ed, i (5; Russians and Japanese lost heavily.

Ovarian Troubles Always Yield to Lydia E. Pink­ ham’s Vegetable Com­ pound. “ I had been in poor health for twenty years, having inflammation of ovaries and womb tipuble. Although treated by physicians, I could not gain strength nor do my work, and was so low-spirited and tired of life. A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pink­ ham's Vegetable Compound.

ABBOTT io CENT DANCE CASTOR IA Y �BMSHELS apcLuex A MIX SLAB' MOVING THE WHEAT CROP.t A Gigantic Industry Employing. Millions of Capital and Countless Hands. At the present time the quantity of wheat which is sent abroad from the United States and Canada annually Is about 250.000,000. Yet this, large as it Is, will certainly be more than dou­ bled within the next ten years. Sir William Crookes, the distinguish­ ed preaident of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, writ­ ing-recently of-the proportion between wheat production and wheat consump­ tion, ventured to name the year 1931 as a date when rhe world's bread-eal«rs would cry for more wheat than the world’s farmers couhl produce. Tills may be an overestimate, yet the statis­ tics from which such prophecies are drawn show bow very closely the con­ sumer treads upon the heels of the pro­ ducer, and how linp^ntive Is the necesolty of distributing’’ the crop—grown perhaps half a world away from the centers of consumption—ns soon as It is shaken from tlie threshers Im a mill­ ion fields, in order that every white man shall have his loaf, and have it before bls last supply has run out. Great Britain eats her entire wheat crop in about thirteen weeks, and then •be must be supplied immediately with the products of America or Central Russia or India, or else she must suffer. If the United Kingdom be completely blockaded, say by the ships of allied -Europe, her population would probably be totally extinguished by starvation within three months. The like Is true of every country In western Europe, although In some of them actual star­ vation could be much longer averted. When a European thinks of food he thinks in terms of wheat. He is the greatest of bread-eater*. Yet in the best of years Europe never produces enough, even Including the crops from the vast fields of Russia, to supply her own needs. She is tuerefon absolute­ ly dependent on the United States. Canada. India, Australia and Argen­ tine. The American and Canadian farmer, and particularly the Northwestern -wheat farmer, who ploughs and reaps and threshes by machinery without so much as touching his product with his bands, is becoming pre-eminently a man of business. The Governments have supplied collegee fur edncatlng him, and they «fnd tlm regular bulleHm containing the results of loug-coniHummI experiments conducted by the Department of Agriculture. He Is a wide reader, sometimes a thinker, md always a politician. Every morning during the days of harvest he receives the reports of the Board of Trade ur the Chamber of Commerce where his wheat Is likely to be sold.' He ha* also on his desk dally prices and a general advisory letter from bls eommlsslus men. 'The primary movement of wheat the natural flow to the local flour mill, where It Is ground to feed tl»e farmers family, nnd toward the granary, where -It is stored up for seed. The propor­ tion of wheat thus actually retained and consumed In the country where it Is grown is very large. When the farmer has amply provided for himself, he begins to think of sell­ ing bls surplus— which in 1SDS, for the United States and Canada, a mounted to the enormous total of 450,000,0tx> bushels. Of this, something less than half Is consumed In the cities of the United States and Canada, and some­ thing more than half Is exported to foreign countries, either as wheat or as flour. The wheat crop of the average-year hi. therefore, divided into three ftore or less equal parts, the first being con­ sumed by the farmer ami his immedi­ ate neighbors of the smaller towns and village*, the second going to supply the concentrated masses of population In the great cities, and the third being ex­ ported as wheat- or flour to feed the foreigner. MrAltay Stannard Baker. In an article on the Movement of Wheat, in Mc­ Clure's Magaxlne, tells of the manner tn which the wheat crop-Is disposed of by the wheat farmer. There are three general metlKxls-by which this is done. In the prolific Northwest^ where large numbers of farmers are cultivating from 3.000 to 10.000 acres of wheat a year, where the various farm buildings nre con­ nected by telephone, where tlie plough­ ing is done by complicated machinery, where the farmer owns from two to ten threshing machines, from twenty to fifty reapers nnd hundred* of cattle and horses, the sale of a crop becomes a large business proposition. But the great mass of smaller farm­ ers, especially throughout the winter wheat districts, still sell in the oldfashioned way. to the local elevator man or buyer. They keep themselves so thoroughly informed, however, a* to the reigning prices in the greaj:marts and the probabilities as to rhe or fall, that the commissions of the local dealer have been scaled to the lowest ufHcb. Indeed. In this day of many railroads. If the small wheat grower is dissatisfied with local prices, be can combine with his neighbors—a not Infrequent occurrence—and ship directly by carload lots to some city commission man, who Is only too will­ ing to buy bis grain at the highest pos­ sible price. • So fierce Is the" comi>etitlon among the wheat buyers that at some centers, most notably Minneapolis, vast sys­ tems of elevators have sprung up, each controlled by a powerful central bouse at the terminal point. There are no fewer than thirty-six elevator com- and .aiMurawd charge of the whole sys­ tem at grading ami Inspection; and spat between ex-Gov. now no portlou tlie great wheat bus­ John Young Brown, se­ nior counsel for Powers, hes* move* with more ease and effl aud Judge CantriU. in clency. a degree of care and accuracy which, the attorney and simply, amarlng to the outsider being the judge exihanged a constantly, maiutaiued. hot pnuagc of words.

A single company controls 115 coun­ try elevators hnering a capacttjF of 4.­ 750.000 bushels of wheat. Aud the head of this company is also the head of other companies there, having lines of elevators In Minnesota and the Da­ kotas with a combined storage capacity of nearly 10,000.000 bushels. He also has lines of elevators In Nebraska and Kansas. Perbnjw no one thing so simplifies and facilitates the movement of wheat as the present rigid system of inspec­ tion and grading. In former. times a load of graijj must need* be carefully examined by every prospective pur­ chaser, were he miller or commission man; and If thia buyer sold again, a second examination became necessary, with its attendant disagreement as to quality. The business of whoat buy- ness;' but latterly Boston,. Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Orleans. Galveston and Montreal bare been large exporters. For the fiscal year 1890 New York took only 283 per cent, while New Orleans aud Galveston had 1(5.9 per cent, each, Boston 12. Baltimore U.4, and Philadel­ phia 0 per cent., the remainder being scattered between Montreal, Portland, Norfolk and Newport News. To quote ngaln from Mr.-Baker, the average yield of wheat per acre is grad­ ually creeping up. In 1990 it was only ll.t bnsbels to the acre; In 1895 It was 13.7 busl.elsf while In 1898 it had reach­ ed 153 bushels. By the use of machin­ ery, combined with cheaper rates of transportation for supplies, the farmer can produce a larger yield mure cheap, ly than ever before, so that, although the farm prices for wheat do not aver­ age higher from year to year, the farm­ er’s profits are larger. There is' nothing In the extensive re­ port of Admiral Seymour received in San Francisco by the American Maru to tprove the sensational story that was cir’minted the earlier part ofntbjMQonth to the effect that Admiral Seymour. -who commanded the Pekin relief expedition, killed his wounded to save them from the Chinese.

The Chinese minister in Washington received a dispatch Tues-Jay morning from Sheng, the director of railroads and telegraphs at Shanghai, stating that the foreign ministers are to be sent from Pekin to Tien-Tsin under escort: nlso that the imperial government has not only been protecting them, but has sup­ plied them with food. isterCongw th»‘*e daya. and recall with pride the fact that he gained hi* start Lh public life while a resident of that State.

The demonstration never occurred. Minister Conger met and wooed arid won bis wife at Lombard ' University, Galesburg, III. It was a college match, as both bride and groom were attending school together there. The bride was Miss Surah J. Pike, and the'match was n romantic one. Both were attracted to the other by their brightness in classes nnd by the good spirit which pervaded every action and word. This was in ante-bellum days, nnd the firing on Fort Sumter put a temporary end to their love making, as cruel war intervened.-- Mr. Conger went away to wa>, serving with gallantry tuid distinction, rising to the rank of major. During his absence Miss Pike was true to him and kept in touch by constant watch aud continued corre­ spondence. ,The years spent apart only intensified their affection, npd they were married wh$n the war was over, the school days’ courtship resulting in thirtyfour year* of happy wedded life. They were married at Galesburg in 18G6, anil there Maj. Conger practiced Jaw for a time, then moved to the farm near DexThe story is told of a Chinese Manda­ rin who early learned that Mr. Conger was.not* to be balked or bluffed. A mis­ sionary of the American Bible Society, provided with passports nnd credentials, was stopped by the officials and held in the military quarters on some paltry trumped-up charge. The missionary sent word to Minister Conger, nnd the minis­ ter went in person tn see about it. When lie learned the trivial nature of the trou­ ble he demanded the release 'of the mis­ sionary. saying he was an American citi­ zen, nnd as such his rights mu*t be re­ spected.

In the suaay aummer evening Godfrey —almost the only passenger who stopped there—got dovipk at the little country sta­ tion that he had known oace *o well, and, ordering bis things to be sent up to the tan. walked toward the village. It was all aa quiet and sleepy looking a* of old. A few pamwrs-by were in the street, but he saw no face that he recog­ nized. A new landlord, ns Joanne had told him. had taken Mr . Turnbull’s .place at the little inn. He ordered • some dinner and waited while they got it ready for him. It wns six o’clock, nnd when his meal .was end­ ed he meant to go up to the vicarage. Perhaps he should not find Jonnpe at home, he suddenly thought. U was’pos­ sible enough, with so many sisters, mar­ ried, and in nil likelihood often wanting her. "Well, in that caile I cannot help It,” he told himself. "I shall we the vicar .at nny rate." And scarcely know­ ing whether or not, if he learned that she was absent, he should feel the disappoint­ ment much, he rose when his dinner wa* over aud, putting on hi* hat, tnrneu his steps toward the fnndllnr rond along which he hod passed so'many times of old.

Fcr a minute he stood still in the shadow of the trees, and looked before him. Four boys and girls, with hsif-fsmilisr faces, were playing tennis on the gra*s. while’the hnle old vicar stood and watched them, his feet, in their old fash­ ion, firmly planted well apart, his band* behind his back, his hnir a little whiter than when Godfrey had seen it last, his figure perhaps a little less prect. but the voice a* mellow and full as ever, as at intervals he called out comments on the game, or commendation* to the players. Godfrey looked at the scene for a min­ ute. nnd then came forward Into the •unshine. causing the vicar swiftly’ to change the direction of his gaze. He went straight up to the old mau and held out his band. “It’s * long time since I saw you last, Mr. Beresford." he said. The vicar rtood still nnd looked at him. "Ah?" be said interrogatively. “Why. let me we! you are—you nre---- ” And then hi* look of inquiry changed, and the fine old face blazed into sudden recogni­ tion. "Why! you are young Helstone!" he criod. with a shout that made Godfrey laugh. “I thought I should have puzzled, you .. longer,” he said. “Not you, not you!" exclaimed the vicar cheerily., “Uve not a bad memory for faces.

The farmer first asked how many pounds of granulated sugar he could buy for a dollar. "Eighteen” was the answer. The farmer then said by spading to a certain city be could got twenty-two. When- questioned about the matter he admitted that in order to get the twenty-two pounds of sugar, with all freight charges pre­ paid, it was necessary to buy five pounds of tea, some rice, beau*, and many other .articles at fixed price. The home merchant then said he would be only too glad to receive such .an order, and would meet the prices and ! then in addition allow 10 per cent dis- ;i .count on the entire order. This cou-|^ vinces one more thoroughly than ever 11 if many of these offers which appear I great bargain* are only investigated j it will be found that the home man can ! be depended upon almost every time to give the people better bargains than the men many miles away who care nothing for your welfare, but are after your money.—Clifton News. « Chicago Store We have decided to close out all of our sum­ mer goods, if possible, by AUGUST 15, 1900.

The raaruer* hoped to reach ike inside of the |H*uiienti<iry wall by tunnel from the cellar of a .house on Sterling street, near­ ly opposite one of tbe gates.

On March 15 last Thomas Brown, who represented himself a» a Chirngu solicitor, purchased from John C. Lnngfitt, engineer in the . penitentiary, the house at 28 Sterling Street for $4.<MX), paying $230 down and agreeing tn pay the balance in install­ ments. Neighbors had their suspicions aroused because of tbe small quantity of furniture going into the supposed home of the new family, nnd by the fact that the principal article taken in was a piano. Tbe shades wen- always down, but tbe piano wns rarely silent. During the in­ tervals when there wsis no music the neighbors heard n grinding, whirring noise, which gave them the impression that the Browns were always grinding coffee^ ■ Their suspicions of crookedness were .confirmed when they saw a load of galvanixed pipe nnd n load of lumber tak­ en into the*house. They called the atten­ tion of the police to the place, but no charge coqld be made against the occu­ pants. The Browns left the house on the night of July 5. leaving word for Mr. I^mgtitt that they were going to New . York, but would return to pay the first in­ stallment uu the house.

Defendant in Goebel Case Contradicts Caleb Powers, defendant in the Goebel case, was on tbe witness stand at George­ town, Ky., in his own behalf. He said that he was on the way to Louisville when he beard,that Goebel had been asiasirinated. "I said it was n shame and on outrage and that It would bMght the chance of all of -ua whose offices were in contest." Witness said that the statement of Golden that he spoke derisively when told of the shooting was absolutely false. He said be never heard violence talked of in any of tbe conferences in which he par-’ ticipated. except in one. when Sheriff Burton of Breckinridge County talked in on incendiary manner and was reproved. The day after the assassination, witness said, he began an investigation to learn where the shot was fired from. Powers detailed the events immediately preceding the arrest of himself and Capt. Davis. He *a:d his attorney advtoed him to make his way to the mountains and re­ main there till public excitement died out before giving himself up for trial. "The Legislature had appropriated $100,000 for the prosecution of persona charged with the crime, and I did not be­ lieve it was possible for me to get a fair trial in Franklin County. Moreover, I did not believe, the eivil authorities there would protect me. I did not know that I could get a change of venue and these were the reasons which suggested flight from Frankfort." ‘ George F. Weaver, the witness who claimed to hail from Colorado and who asserted that he saw the gun barrel pointing from the office of the Secretary of State at the time Goebel was assassi­ nated. wa* arrested on a warrant charg­ ing him with perjnry. Tbe warrant was sworn out by the attorneys f«jr tbe de­ fense in the Powers case, who say that they have found out that Weaver was not only not In Frankfort the dny of the assassination, but was never there till last Saturday night. KAISER SAYS KILL. The German Emperor’s speech at Bre­ merhaven on the occasion of the sailing of German troops for Cbinq, was sensa­ tional.

For the first time in his long, honorable career the lawyer felt some relief—he could ipcet bis expense* now. and when he died there waul'd be something-fur bis wife and chil­ dren. Nor was his wife less delighted. In her heart she had longed for the hum lux­ uries that the wives of other professional men enjoyed—for a. drawing room like Mr*.

Slayer of Kinu Humbert Has No Re­ gret* for His Awful Crime. BreskL the assassin of King Humbert, seems undisturbed by thoughts of the aw­ ful work he has aecotuplished. Reports indicate thnt be hnd planned the murder for some time, nnd that he had chosen Hututart not as an individual personally deserving of violent death, but as a mem­ tar of the class to which all anarchists arc opposed. In New York some mis­ guided malcontents laud the man's deed aud call its perpetrator a drlivcrer. Bressi deciares that in the event of his release be will have similar work to do. His friend* in this gountry—the fiery ones —aosert that other sovereigns are mark­ ed. In the course of his examination Bressi did not deny tbat he had been designated to assassinate King Humbert. It is now believed that the crime was arranged in Paterson. N. J. A man named Salvatore Quintarnlli, who returned to Italy from the Unitbd States with Bressi and accompanied him to an an&rvhist meeting in Paris, has Imtu arrested at the Rib Marina on the Island of Elba. The police found on him letters and photographs of anarchists. Anton banner, who accompanied Bressi from the United State*, has been, arrested nt Irrea. In consequence ofthese arrests the"Bclief ia the existence of a plot is in­ creasing. Bressi’* brother, who is a lieutenant in the. Italian army, stigmatizes the crime as the most cowardly act id the century. He had hnd no news of his brother for a long time ami thought he was still in the United States. The assassin gave his name ns Angelo, that be was an anarchist nnd n member •f tbe International Society, the same —soelation to which Caserio, who assas­ sinated President Carnot, of France, and Laeetani. who assassinated the Empress ef Austria, belonged.

Humbert, like his father, ■was a soldier whose personal courage had been proved on the battlefield before he was made King. On Saturday, Jun. 11*. 1878. when he took the oath of fidelity to the constitution before the united Sen­ ators nnd Deputies comprising the Ft alio n Parliament, he declared tbe policy of bis reign. On Nov. 17. 1878. shortly after he had been crowned, an attempt was made on Humbert’s life while he was entering the city of Naples. Giovanni I’assanantc, a cook, waving a flag, approached tbe royal onrriage and stabbed tbe King in the arm. His majesty drew hi* nword nnd wound­ ed the man. Members of the royal suite came to bis assistance, but not until one of them hnd lrt*n severely wounded wus tbe would-be murderer secured. On tbe day after this attempt at as­ sassination demonstrations of loyalty to the King in Florence and Pisa were tbe occasion of riots and the throwing of Or­ sini bombs. The Government tben^tpvu decldeil to net Wkb more rigor against po­ litical organization^ that threatened the (icace of the kingdom.

If the other (towers should declare war the Preslfient would at once call an extra seMiou of Congress and the subsequent policy of the United States would be determined by tbe law-making department of the government It wa* admitted st the State Depart­ ment tbat there was a missing copy of the department’s copy of the code and that copy was in the possession of the Chinese government. This ba* led the officials to think that the proposition of the viceroy. Li Hung Chang, to deliver the ministers from their supposed dan­ ger in Pekin is merely a craftily con- other story. That will be to the effect that the ministers started in safety and with what seemed at tbe time to be.a sufficient guard, but after proceedhiX a short way from the imperial city they were beset by Boxers, tbe guards orerfHJwered and tlje ministers and all with them slaughtered. Convinced that this Is the scheme, the administration ha* refused to sanction any such proceedings. Its position iif simply this: Should the ministers a till lire, which they doubt, any such jour­ ney would mean thrir death, and to con­ sent to'aaeh an undertaking would be to connive at their death.

HORRIBLE STORIES ed to the State Department by Minister Wu Saturday is supplemented by the sub­ Mance of an imperial edict communicated to Consul-General Goodnow by Director­ General Shens, indicating that arrange* xnentb ore still going on in Pekin for es­ corting the ministers to Tientsin. Interest iu the Chinese si'imtL.n was in­ tensified in Washington _M <n i.t;.' npirning by the receipt of two dispatches from naval officers at Cbeefco. repeating un­ official but apparently reliable reports < f the allied forces ami the Chinese on the fine between Tientsin and Pekin. . The dispatches indicated that the relief column had started iu earnest anti that it was m<*eling with determined opposition. Although neither of the naval dispatches mentioned the presence of American troops in the reported engagement, it was geenrally assumed at the War Depart■lent that nt least n part of Gen. Chaf­ fee’s small nrtny was on'hand and took an active and aggressive part in tbe afAccording to information in possession of tbe War Department, the town of Peitsang is at the head of tidewater on tbe Peiho, between eleven and twelve miles by road l»eyond Tientsin. It is a village el mud huts of considerable size, but not walled. The river at this point is not navigable by anything larger than a good zlzed steam launch, and it is thought that the troops probably reached there in •mall boats, towed by the naval launches. From tbe fact that fhe engagement -lasted seven nnd *. half hours, it i> ar­ gued in tbe department thnt either the Chinese must have been heavily intrench­ ed or that there was an immense horde of them to so stubbornly Context the ad­ vance of tbe 16,000 international troops. It-was figured by military experts that a luox of 1.200 killed arid wounded on the part nf the allies probably meant a loss of from three to six times as mauy by the Chinese.

Letters and paper* belonging to Aguinaldo, which were captured several months ago by Gen. Funston, have been made public by the War Department. Some of these document* trad to substan­ tiate the charge* that the Filipino insur­ gents have received encouragement from persons in the United States. The most remarkable letter in the collection i* from Dr. Montague R. Leverson, dated Fort Hamilton. N..Y., July 17.’1899, who de­ scribe* himself as a member of the Anti­ Imperialist League, and who ackviscs the Filipino* to capture some official of high rank in the service of the United States and try him for piracy. While it is said by official* of the administration that a charge of treason might be based on Mt. Leverson’* letter, a Washington corre­ spondent says no legal proceedings will be instituted. . Dr. Montague R.

Sir Owen Chcvtmix?” ' "I find J>ut little time for gossip.”-he replied; “still I hare heard that he is wealthy and like* to- spend his money freely." Violet’s face had quite a light upon it sis she continued: "People say that hte plate Is superb, Felix, F should like to eat my dinner off golddn nlate." “It would be no IxUtor tor that.

At the same time some keen, subtle instinct which be could nut understand told Captain HUI that he hnd acted cruelly. “You arc right." agrci*d Sir Owen Chcvnix. looking intently at Vlotet—“that is by far the prettiest sight in tbe grounds. Who is that young lady?” "Miss Violet llaye." replied the cajstain. An honewt impulse prompted him to add: "She is engaged to Felix Ix»nsdnle.” but a subtle sease that such a statement would be displeasing to Sir Owen restrained him. “Will yd< introduce n»e to'Mis* Haye?” asked the Baronet------“It Would Im* bettor for Mrs. Hunter to do that." he replied. "I um not one of Miss Haye’s friends.” Sir Owen walked quickly nway. There was a look on his face ns of earnest pur­ pose when he saw Mrs. Hunter. She list­ ened to his request, nnd wondered. "Introduce you to Miss Haye?" she said. "Of course I will, with the great­ est pleasure.** Then, oddly, some subtle doubt cruised her mind; but she would not think of it for one moment. Sir Owen Chevenix was the great personage of tbe entertainment, the great attraction ot the fete. She must certainly do as requested. Why not? Violet Haye was a lM*autifnl girl, nnd it was only reasona­ ble that everybne should admire her. So she walked actqtta the lawn with Sir Owen, who was tbe observed of all ob­ servers. , Neither Violet nor her h.vcr saw the two until Mrs. Hunter spoke. “Miss Haye,*’ she said, "Sir Owen Chevenix has asked inc to introduce him to vou.” ■ . Violet’s face flushed hotly—it waa so sudden, it was such a aurprixe. This was the rich baronet of whom m> short a time before she. had been speaking with such awe and»wonder. She boweil. and mur­ mured a few words—she never rcmemberwhnt they were; theu, ns a matter of course. Mrs. Hunter was compelled to introduce Felix. Sir Owen acknowledged the introduction by a few careless words,. The whole acene occurred in tbe radin nt sunlight, in tbe midst of blooming flow­ ers nnd happy fnces-j-yet It was the pre­ lude to a terrible tragedy. “A beautiful day.” said Sir Owen to Violet; "a charming scene, too—quite rural, quite pastoral— the kind of thing F like. I hear that we are to have quad­ rilles. Will you favor me with the first. Miss flayer* She answered “Yes,” bemuse she did not know how to refuse him. "I hnd nd idea that this kind nf thing could be so well managed in a place like Lilford." said Sir Owen. “It inspires me with an idea—I must really give a fete at Garswood." • "That would be very pleasant." return­ ed Violet, shyly. “It would if you worrtRacrc,” thought Sir Owen: “and there yoh shall be the queen'ot the fete if I can umnago it." Aloud he said: "Have you seen Gnrswood. Ml** flayer* "I hare hern in the park.” replied Vio­ let. “but I have not seen the house.” "There is plenty of room ffir a fete there.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are communicating with a woman —< woman whose experience in treat­ ing woman a ilia » greater than that of any living person—male or female. A woman can talk freely to a wo­ man when jt is revolting to relate her private troubles to a man. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to ww*b. know­ ing full well that they should have immediate aaaisUnce, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves, to the questions and probable examination of even their family physician. It is unneces­ sary. Without money or price you can consult a woman, whose knowledge Women suffering from any form ot female weakness are invited to freely communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. This is a positive fact—-not a mere statement—anybody and everybody is invited to Mrs. Pinkham’a office to see for themselves—when we any every­ body we mean women of course—thus has been established the eternal con­ fidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never * been broken and has induced more than 100,000 sufferers to write her for advice during the last few months. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it Is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in re­ turn except your good-will, npd her advice has relieved thousands. Here is one of the cases we refer to: Miss Collier Writes for Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice, Receives it, and is Made Well.

The Japanese engiue<-rs gallantly mode a breach in the walla of the native city and it was carried by storm, the shat­ tered Ninth regiment being one of the first to enter the town. On the night of the 14th Chinese renegades burned the larger part of the city nnd the store* and hou*ea were plundered.

This number is 216 more than the Mumber of deaths for the preceding month and 110 more than the number registered for July, IM®. There were 561 deaths of infante un­ der one year of age. 141 of children aged one to four yearn and 611 of persons aged 65 and over.

Oat harvest is quite generally completed in the south­ ern and central counties, well -ad­ vanced in the northern counties and just beginning Id the upper peninsula. Oats are generally a very fine crop iu all counties of the State, in the upper peninsula, barley and spring wheat are also being cut, pea harvest Is quite general in the north­ ern counties. The excessively hot weather of the past week has appar­ ently injured buckwheat, which is not m promisfing this week, although still indicating a fair crop. Corn and late potatoes are generally in very good condition and 'promise good yields. Corn is now glazing. Beans are ma­ turing In the southern counties and are nearly ready to null; the bean crop has been shortened somewhat by the high temperatures and some cor­ respondents complain of rust. Sugsfr beets continue very promising. In the extreme southern counties fodder and early planted dent corn is being cut. Apple prospect* are better than wm expected, although apples have been falling badly. There are many rejjorte of plums rotting; pears nnd grape* indicate-good yields. Fall plowing is well advanced in the southern counties and hu ma«je good progress in the central and northern counties: in the latter sections there is considerable complaint that the soil is too dry; in the southern counties the ground is in good condition for working.

In other words, Manchuria ia not claimed by Russia as her province and is to be returned to China. That this coincides exactly with the plans of our own government is apparent at a glance.

Her sole condition is said to be that there shall be practical unanimity among the allies in executing' the disinterested and pacific program.

Will­ iam J. Rutledge, of Petersburg, 11L, who, during the way, was chaplain of Abe Fourteenth Jll Inola Infantry. ChapJaln RutlMge^was tho tentmate and Intimate friend of Dr. B. F. Stephenson after the latter joined tbe Fourteenth •Regiment in 1802. To him'be suggest­ ed his idea, and they agreed to work to.gather for1 the purpose of organizing suck an association after tbe close of •the war. After peace had been restored both •were mustered out and returned to their homes. They kept up a lively cor­ respondence. however, and In March. I860, met, by appointment, In SpringHeld, Ill., to consider the draft of p. rit­ ual for tbe organization which they in­ tended to found. Dr. Stephenson had prepared such a draft and consulted many former officers of the Unlun army In reference to It, among them Col. John M. Snyder, Governor Oglesby’s secre­ tary; Dr. James Hamilton, Maj. Rob­ ert M. Woods, Maj. Robert Allen, Col. Martin Flood, Coi. Daniel Grass; CoL Edward Prince, and many others. The ritual was finally adopted and printed in the office of tbe Decatur, Ill., Tribune, which was owned by I. W. Coltrln and Joseph Pryor. Both men. as well as nearly ail their employes, •hod been in the military service during the war. They were all pledged to tbe utmost secrecy. Capt. John 8. Phelps superintended the printing of the ritcal. . Maj. B. F. Stephenson was the mordng spirit of the movement, nnd de­ voted himself to bls task with great energy and enthusiasm. Ills friends succeeded tn interesting many other officers nnd men of the Union army on behalf of the proposed organization, and it was finally formed is Springfield In March. 1866. The first post was founded in De­ catur. III., through the efforts of Dr. WOMEN WHO SELL PAPERSComparatively Few of the Be: BnainoM ia Chicago. There are not many women in Chi­ cago who follow the business of selling newspapers on the street, but those who do are not lacking in persistency, says the Chronicle. They have several ad­ vantages over boys, one being their sex and age, which appeal to buyers of papers; another Is a commotion on tbe street does not divert them from their calling. Their memory of faces Is re­ markable. When a man buys a paper, twice of a woman be Is looked upon ns a regular customer, and if he does not keep it up from day to day she puts on the look of one who is injured. This little trick works welt Not a few men will make it a point to defer purchas­ ing until they reach her street corner. Not a few men regard the patronizing of such persons as a sort of charity and that makes them like to put themselves out a little to do it. All these charac­ teristics of men the- woman vender of newspapers understands, and with ev­ ery sale there goes with the paper a look and a smile which make tho buyer feel In his soul that he is ameliorating the condition of tbe poor and he comes again. Nearly all women street venders of newspapers in Chicago are consider­ ably past middle age, and their make­ up Is one of genteel poverty—of "1 have seen better days." Some who sew dur­ ing tbe day spend an hour or two in the later afternoon and early evening sell­ . Ing papers, because they need the recre­ ation and air, besides they make a lit­ tle money out of Lt which Is a great help to them In meetiug'expenses. There are a few newspaper sellers who fetch a child with, them to the street which serves as a manufacturer of sympathy. The child may belong to the woman who has rt. and it may be . borrowed for the occasion. The latter becomes a pretiy self-evident fact when the child does not always put in its appearance, and especially so when the child bears no likeness of tbe woman and they act one toward the other as If there was no bond of relationship exist­ ing between them. Tbe child’s part In the play for sympathy and trade is a conspicuous one. If It Is not too large , It is carried In the woman's arms while she stands and on her lap v?hile she alts, but In any event it is kept well to the foreground as a chiWteb appeal for patronage. It is a good card, and even men and women who believe it is all a {day cannot always refill tbe promptings of their sympathy. Such । wonjen move from place to place. They J. W. Routh and Capt M. F. Kanan, of that city. It was organized by Major Stephenson and Captain Phelps on April a I860. The officers were mus­ tered In by Major Stephenson, who then declared the post duly organized and ready for tbe transection of any and all business that might come be­ fore It At tae regular meeting on April 10, I860, N. G. Burns, Henry Gor­ man, N. E. Wlnhoi{z. W. H. Andrew* and W. H. B. Rowe were mustered in as new members of the post. In the meantime Major Stephenson and his comrades worked hard to per­ fect tbe constitution, which was finally accepted at a meeting In Springfield, May 9. I860. It was printed in Spring­ field. and copies were sent to the Deca­ tur Post No. 1 on May 15, -follow***) shortly after by copies of the revised ritual. According to the constitution the name of the national organization was to be ’The Grand Army of the Re­ public," and precinct, county nnd State organizations were provided for. Prior to the formal Institution of Post No. 2 at Springfield a departmental staff had been agreed upon to prosecute the work of organizing posts. • • The first State convention or encamp­ ment to form the Department of Illi­ nois was held at Springfield, III., on , July 12^1866. At that time there, were ,already thirty-nine Grand Army posts In the State of Illinois that had re­ ceived their charters. Tbe call for the convention was signed by many of the most prominent former army officers In the State. The convention was called push themselves forward quite as ac­ tively as tbe newsboys hustle. Such women do not resort to subterfuge. They do not play for sympathy, nor do they claim any favors because of their sex. They rely upon their push, en­ ergy and perhaps love of tbe excite­ ment Anyway, they go about It like a merchant who knows his goods have merit and that It is his business to proclaim that fact far and near. There are a few quite old women in the business of selling newspapers on .the street and their age and feebleness oblige them to have a regular place to sit down. They have regular customers who buy of them out of honest sym­ pathy beeguse It Is their chief if not their only means of support, and rarely ever Is change asked when a nickel is given. This class, as a rule, are neat and clean "In appearance and express their gratitude with their eyes rather than in words. It may be said that there are no young women in the busi­ ness of selling newspapers oh the streets in Chicago, but there are a num­ ber of girls ranging in age troqa 8 to 12 years, and nearly-all of them are bold, persistent and always chewing gum. They look untidy and seem to have no ambition to better their condition. BIRDS THAT DO NOT SINQ. They Far Outnumber the S! uaicUna-of Singing is applied to birds In the same eeuse that It Is to human beings— the utterance of musical’ notes. Every per­ son makes -vocal sounds of some kind, but many persons never attempt to sing. So it te with birds. Tbe eagle screams, the owl boots, the wild goose, honks, the crow caws, but none of these discordant sounds can be called sing­ ing. ’ the singing of birds fat-hearted joyousness, to-morro^j, and, sc ffi c w are poetic enough to next day.’ They do not view it in tbe same way. Birds sing Io Mm spring Ubd the eidjMMl I mer, those happiest seasons of the year, the trade u a business. They are out while employed in nest-bullding and in early and late, always on hand for the rearing their young. Many of our most musical singers are silent all the rest to order by Major Stephenson and Col. Walter B. Bcatea. of Chicago, waa elect­ ed president. The Department of Illinoli waa formally organized. * The first national encampment in which the national organization of the Grand Army of the Republic waa per­ fected, wax held al Indianapolis, Ind., on Nov. 20, 1886. It was called to order by Commander-In-Chief B. F. Stephen­ son. and Gen. John M. Palmer was elected permanent president of the convention. The war Governor of In­ diana, Oliver P. -Morton, attended tbe encampment and was received with great enthusiasm. The second national encampment ot the Grand Arm> did not take place un­ til Jan. 15-17, 1868, and waa held at Philadelphia. John A. Logan, of Illi­ nois, was elected commander-ln-cblef. He was re-etected at the following two national encampments at Cincinnati and Washington, D. C. The fifth national encampment' waa held at Boston and elected A. E. Burnside commandpr-inchlef. During the first years df its exist­ ence the growth of the Grand Army of the Republic was comparatively alow, and not until the latter part of the TOs did its marvelous growth really begin. In 1878 the Grand Army comprised but 31,016 members, while at the present time It comprises 7,184 posts, with 286.­ 453 members. Tfie greatest number of members was reached in 1890, whenthe national organization comprised' 409,489 members in good standing. After thia It is expected that the Dum­ ber will steadily decrease, owing to the mortality among the veteran*. Following Is a list showing the num­ ber of members of the Gjand Army during the years from 1878 to the pres­ ent time: 1S78 ........... 31.016 1800 409.489 1879 ........... 44,752 1891 407.781 1880 . G0.G341892 899.8.80 1881 . 85,8561893 807,223 1882 .......... 134.7011804 369.083 1883 ............ 215,446 1895 357.630 1884 ............ 273.168 ISM 340.610 1885 ............ 294,787 1807 319.456 1886 ............ 323,571 1898 3O5.a«3 1887 ........... 355.916 1899 287868 1888 .. 37%9G0 1900 286,453 1889 . 897,974 of tbe year; nt least they utter only low chirpings. It is natural, therefore, that lovers of birds should regard their sing­ ing as purely an expression of joy in the returning spring, and In their happy occupations. Outside of what are -properly classed as song birds there are many species that never pretend to sing; in fact these far outnumber tfjojinislcjaju. They in­ clude tbe water blr&'of every kind, both swimmers and waders, all tbe birds of prey, eagles, hawks, owls and vultures; nnd all the gallinaceous tribes, compris­ ing pheasants, partridges, turkeys and chit kens. The gobble of the turkey cock, the defiant crow of the “bobwbltc,” are none of them true singing; yet it Is quite probable that all of these sounds are uttered with precisely simi­ lar motives to those that inspire the sweet warbling of the song-sparrow, the clear whistle of the robins or the thrilling music of the wood-thrush. But naturalists have set apart a very large group as song birds, and even among these there are many species that never sing at all. Birds are group­ ed according to their anatomical char­ acteristics. the .structure of their I unes, bills, feet and wings. And thus we have tbe songless song birds, looking at the matter from the standpoint of the classifying naturalist. — Philadelphia Time*. Grant Allen’s Sense of Justice. The Poat of Philadelphia is responsi­ ble for the following story of "Grant Allen’s Sense of Justice." He had. It appears, written a paper upon insects and bugs and sent it to his publisher. In it he minutely described both the bad and good sides of his subjects. Several days after he had dispatched the manuscript he wrote to tbe pub­ lisher: “Return at once proofs of chap­ ter on bugs. I have found out that I have done one of them an injustice. I dreamt about him all one night, after I mailed the matter to you, and he looked at me with reproachful eyes and said I had made him out worse than he was. In looking up his history from a later source I have found out that be Special Delivery Is Popular. The popularity of the special debvejy branch of the United States mail ser­ vice te evidenced by the fact that hi 1899 more than 52,000,000 of these spe­ cial stamps were sold.

"She has no incest*,ve to live," the nurse told the young*’’ surgson, as the great man hastened off to tbe waiting appointment which he could defer ns longer; “she told me this morning that she is all alone in the world; that she would be rather gird to die than otherwise, and she only consented to undergo the operation at all because she conaiders it the duty ot everyone to make all reasonable effort* to prolong life. She hinted at an unhappy love affair,” she concluded, as they worked over to the patient together, "and said that when the accident which neccsritoted this operation bapi>ened she had hoped that it was all over with her, young as ah* is." The . surgeon made no reply, and the ... >g that he thought her forward or unprofessional, blushed scarlet as she beet over the patient. 8hc was a pretty woman herself, and still in her first youth, although neither no young nor so beautiful aa the motionless girt on the bed, but the young surgeon had no eyes for tbe blush which his silence had called forth. His face waa as Dale at her* wa* rosy, and the hand* which lifted the unconacious head of the patient so that the nurse might administer tome brandy and water trembled. When the eye­ lid* of the fainting woman began to flicker a little he moved so that theeyea they shaded should fall upon no one but du- nurse. Standing in thia position the patient taw him no more than she had done when he stood behind her at the head of the operat­ ing table, holding the cone by mean* of which be wa* administering the ether. But the young Burgeon could see her perfectly, and he scrutinised the delisate, bloodies* face with a care and a degree of attention not entirely due to profesmonal interest. "What do -you mean by fainting, Miss Stanley?" exclaimed the nurse, in her cheeriest, most professional accents, as tbe wide eyes opened fully. "Don't you know that every time you faint it weaken* you a little, ana that you've got to grow stronger, instead of weaker, if you want to live?" "I don't want to live, not really,'* whis­ pered back the patient, weekly; "I don’t care whether I lire or not. 1 suppose I’ve got to try to get better because it seems to be my duty, but I’m too tired to/eel like try­ ing hard. What have I got to live for?" she finished, to herself, the faint voice trailing off into a scarcely audible murmur. The young imrgron stepped out from be­ hind the bed head and took firm hold of the little patient'* hands. "Live for me, Margaret," he said, intenseSf. "I waa a fool to be jcalou* of you, to oubt your love and goodneaa, even for a second. 1 haven’t known a happy or a peace­ ful moment since we parted. I thought my heart would break when I learned that you had been run over and so nearly killed, and it almost stopped beating when you were carried in this morning. Forgive me, Mar­ garet, and live for my take. We'll prove how good and happy life can be together yet." The nurse had slipped out of the room for a moment, and they were quite *lon«. Ho stooped and kissed her lip*. The little'pa­ tient was still too near to the mysterious realms of unconsciousness to be astonished at anything that haj' ' ' ' ' ' happiness the goib?,... petted fashion quite simply. When the nurse returned she waa sleeping like a baby, one frail little hand clasped in that of th* young surgeon, and when the great surgeon stopped at her bedside the next morning her eyes were already bright with th* hope of re­ turning health, if no moxg. “What’s thia I hear about your fainting yesterdayhe cried, in cheery profession*] reproof. "Don’t you know that such un­ reasonable conduct retards your recovery, my dear young lady, and don’t you want to get well quickly ?” "Indeed I do, doctor,” came the little pa­ tient’s instantaneous reply.

The market is evi­ dently under control of the large inter­ est*, nnd yet in view of the crop uncer­ tainties and the political campaign, it ir perhaps not considered good judgment to Start a sustained upward movement *t this time. fChicago—The wheat market evinced considerable strength last week, the firm­ ness being for the good and sufficient rea­ son that in the markets of tbe importing countries American wheat wns under­ selling the product of it* competitors. Proof of this wn* the heavy purchase* made here for foreign account. Besides the foreign demand ns an aid. to the mat* ket the unfavorable-weather wu a draw­ back for securing the remains ot ths drought-stricken spring wheat crop of Nprth Dakota and jmrthorn Minnesota. The rain that was withheld during ths period of the plant'/ growth, when mois­ ture «was of vital importance, has re­ cently been pouring, in floods, just at the time when dry. weather was urgently needed for the in-gathering of whi^t tbe previous drought had left. More thou the usual ill effect of n wet harvest, has been experienced because of the neces­ sity of usiug mowen* nnd headers In cut­ ting the grain this season on account of the shortness, of • the straw. The beads of the grain tjius cut, gathered into heaps in the fields, have been subjected to the most injurious effects of incessant rain, accompanied by a high degree of temper­ ature, the result of which, according to numerous well-authenticated accounts from the suffering territory,, ha* l>een the rendering unfit for milling purpose* ot a large portion of the wheat Which had been saved from tho drought. The full effect of the last-named addittpn to the origin*! calamity in the Northwest ha* not yet been experienced in the market.

M. MCLAUGHLIN. A.SkMch ot NtubvIUe’a New Clothing Merchant. O. M. McLaughlin, who .recently purchased tbe A. S. Mitchell sloYte and stock of goods, is'no stranger t<X the people of Nashville and vicigjiy*/ yet at the threshold of his entry upon a mercantile career in thejtfiiage, a brief «Ketch of his lift* i/not deemed out uf place. „ Mr. McLaughlin was born at Eaton, Indiana, September 5th, 1861. and Is about 39 years of age. He is a man of the people, and is a good specimen of what America calls a ‘ ‘self-made man.”’ He.commenced his career on his owti hook at the age of thirteen, years, working on a farm by the month for. six consecutive years and saving up his money to educate himself, real­ izing even a"t that .early age that a good Education is one of the prime requisit* of success. He workiSd his way through the high school, and com­ menced his carv<* as Jin educator as a teacher of a district, sebool iu the. county of Ingham, in this state, at a salary of 62H tier month. All his earn­ ing* were used to further his education, with such success that he graduate*! from the Michigan state normal at Y psi I anti Id several course?, besides taking special work at the State Agri­ cultural college. He rapidly worked his way up, teaching in several of the smaller towns of the state, and finally coming to Nashville as Superinten­ dent. where he remained two years, at an increase in salary. While acre he was married to Mis* Carrie Mcdtaber, of Maple’Grove, who has proven an excellent helpnavt to him in bis life’s abors. From Nashville Mr. Mc­ Laughlin went to Ypsilanti for two more rears of special . work, after which be accepted the position of Su­ perintendent of schools at Dundee, Mich. He remained there for two years, and was offered the position at-an in­ crease in salary for the third year, but declined to accept, on account of poor health, and returned to Maple Grove to put in some month? work on his farm. * As soon as his health would permit, he accepted a position with the New York Life Insurance company, and almost immediately became one • of their best writers in tbe state. He was soon made a special agent of the company, then a general -agent, and finally manager for southwestern Michigan, with offices at Kalamazoo. • Wishing to return to Nashville, he tendered his resignation to the com­ pany, but rather than lose his services they allowed him to move his office to Nashville, and he has for some time been occupying handsome and com­ modious quarters in his own block, on the east side of Main street. Mr. McLaughlin has always made an unqualified succes<> of everything ' which he has undertaken, being an energetic worker, and a man of suffi­ cient force of character to make him­ self felt in whatever sphere of - life he saw fit to move, and it is certain that his entry into a mercantile life will be made successful through tlie ?ame characteristic. He is a man of un­ questioned integrity, forceful, level­ headed, pleasant and accommodating, and The News believes will soon be recognized as one of the leading men In the clothing business in this part of the state.

The consequence of this la that the trading to on a limited scale and .prices, ax a rule, are barely holding their owp. People evidently do not want to buy flocks, and, on the other hand, those who hold them are not dis­ posed to sell.

The canoes of the Improved feeling among specula­ tors were various, but for the moat part based upon conditions rather expected than at ptearat existing. One quite tan­ gible and present factor, however, was the export demand, which, although not to be characterised as urgent, was of.dixnensions sufficient te be recognized by the bears and restrain them from selling •bort to a degree that might result dis­ astrously to themselves in case some of the other bull anticipation* should sud­ denly be realized. Tbe looked-for reduc­ tion in tbe winter wheat movement waa not sufficiently apparent to beget confi­ dence in its reaching within a short time a falling off that would be recognized as a sign of toe predicted coming of the bulls’ days of undisputed preponderance. Neither did anything in the movement of spring wheat toward the markets of Min­ neapolis and Duluth indicate the exceed­ ing smallness of the Northwestern spring wheat crop, as generally claimed of it. The shipments of wheat to Europe from other than United States, Danubi.in and Argentine ports continue to run small; notably from Russia',, whose competition tn the markets of the world is always a menace to the bulls. Tbe Danubian coun­ tries promise to make amends to Euro­ pean consumes for any possible short­ comings on the part of Russia, tbe heavy movement to market tn that region of the wheat-producing world being in accord­ ance with what has been heard of the ex­ cellence of Its wheat crop. The problem of the season’s supply te yet sufficiently obscure to warrant cautiousness as well by the bear as by the bull speculators. Favorable weather for the speedy matur­ ing of the corn crop has had the double effect of causing farmer* to part more freely with toeir old eorn and of inducing purchaser* in the Eastern States and for­ eign countries to defer their orders for shipment to the last possible moment in expectation of an early movement of the, new grain. ‘ DIE IN A WRECK. Thirteen Killed - and Forty-five jured on an Excursion.

The first section of an At­ lantic City excursion train, on which there are suppomsl to have been in the neighborhood of 500 persons, plowed its way through a milk train which was be­ ing loaded for Philadelphia. Of the five cars on the latter train three were‘reduced to kindling wood and bent iron. The next car wa< smashed beyond repair, while the forward car and the engine practically escaped injury. The engine ou the Atlantic City excur­ sion section was totally wrecked, thrown arrows the north-bound track, with toe pilot pointing ia the direction from which It had come. The first two cars of eleven composing the excurinop- train were splintered snd several fotfowing Were wrecked. The track was torn up for a quarter of a mile and tbe wreckage was piled up by the force of the collision to a height of twenty feet and extended for several hundred yards south of the station.

PartlcuJurly is this dcglriible If tbe calves are to be raised. The brat plan for nccom'pushing this Is to feed the cow tbe nec­ essary food .to keep up a fair flow of milk, and with tills food that will ben«efit the unborn calf. While doing this keep, milking the cow until she natural­ ly falls off In supply. With a heifer haying the first calf, milking should be 'kept up as long as possible liefore the_ next calf is bora.

One of the experiments under contem­ plation is the taking up of certain coun­ ties In which hog cholera exists and having experts there to note the mortal­ ity in the entire county and to aid the officials of the country In eradicating the disease, both by sanitary and popu­ lar methods, and by the use of serum. It is hoped that If certain countle* will take up this idea of assisting this divi­ sion a great deal of good can be done, both In ascertaining how virulent tbe disease has been in tbe county and by reducing the per cent of mortality In tbe couniy. In other words, it Is a kind of quarantine s^sttin, or st^mplng-out process, and It is hoped by this method that/tinners can guard against this dis­ ease to a large extent Tbe plans are not as yet fully matured, but will be perfected before the work is begun. We are sorry to see it stated In a Maine paper that a girl 13 years old and weighing 115 pounds has done the full work of a man during the/haylng sea­ son in one of the towns of that State. We have no special objection to having young Indies or older ones work out of doors on a farm if they wish to and have the strength, and we think many of them would be In better health for such a chance to take exercise in the open air, but we want all good things in moderation, and we would not like to see either girl or boy of that age and slight physical build allowed to do a full day’s work for a man in the haying field. Even If much of It was on the mowing machine, hay rake or tedder, we know froffi experience that they are not easy riding vehicles,’ and while there ftf much work that a girl or a boy can do In.the haying field, we do not believe It right to work them beyond age.

Fatal EfTectn of Green Sorghtim. There has been much discussion iu some of the Western papers as to the cause of cattle dying suddenly after eating green sorghum. All were aware of the facts, yet chemists have' been unable to detect any, poison In the sorghum plant or In the organs of the anhnnE that died from eating it. A writer In the Louis­ iana Planter, who says he lost In this way last year cattle that cost him <1.­ 050, thinks be can account for It. He says:, “The blamed stuff won’t be swallowed. It simply gets warmed and limbered a little, coats Itself over with the tough, sticky saliva, or slobber, re­ pairs to the glottis, pastes itself smooth­ ly over that organ, ^losing thy trachea, or windpipe, and the poor brute In tbe greatest distress and misery smothers to death—dlc> for tbe want of air. My remedy would be to swab out the throat Immediately so as to remove tbe bits of blades that have pasted them­ selves over the glottis, or ojK'ning to the windpipe. They will sometimes stick there like a wet paper to the roof of the mouth. The ^aliva of the cow is more sticky than tbstt of a human, and the smooth blades of sorghum stick worse than a fuzzy leaf." His explana­ tion seems plausible at least, and those Who lose cattle In this way should ex­ amine tbe entrance to the windpipe to see if It Is closed. * . A Kansas correspondent of the Farm­ er's Tribune’ calls attention to tbe great waste of many farms by the careless way in which the straw Is put up. not In stacks, but in piles, usually by a gang of boys who think they are doing all that is expected of them if they can keep itbufof tbe way of the carrier or tbe elevator.' We think there are farm­ ers nearer than Kansas who have the same fablt, and lose money by It Straw Is too valuable as a rough fodder In sections where hay Is high priced to be wasted as It often Is. And even where hay is cheap there are uses for straw as mulch, as thatching and bedding, for which It is worth more than hay.

J Few-Line Interviews. < Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has been making a study of tbe domestic and foreign demand fur wh«af this year, and in view, of crop estimates which experts have made looks for rising prices. When asked for a statement of the crop pros­ pects and the probable prices of agricul­ tural products lluriog the present year, the Secretary said: “The outlook for good prices was never better. We have a shortage in the American wheat crop this year which will probably amount to 100,­ 000,000 bushel*. This alone would serve to make tbe present yield more valuable. There are additional reasons, however, which incline me to believe that wheat will make a marked advance before tba end of the present year. The primary cause for an advance is the condition and outlook of the home market. Our home market is and will continue to be the greatest wheat mm-kpfrJtrtfce world. This year the demand for the great bulk of our crop is at home. The consumption of wheat and wheat flour in this country in ISM feil to 3.41 bushels per inhabitant. In 1896 it increased to 4.78. and in 1898 it was 5.21, while last year it increased to 5.95. bashpls per capita. This year the consumption of wheat per capita will go above last year and probably will be nearer seven than six bushels. E. M. Jackson of Chicnro said to a Washington Post reporter: “The desire among young men to go west and grow up with tbe country I* not so strong as it once was. In fact, western young men show a decided inclination to travel east­ ward. This i» probably due to a belief that Larger prises are to be gained in tbe more thickly populated eastern States. Now York City, with its supposed multi­ tudinous opportunities for acquiring wealth and fame, offers especially strong temptation for ambitious western men who feel well equipped for the race. Chi­ cago attracts men. It is true, from every part of the Union, but it lacks that fasci­ nation the eastern metropolis has.” Baron Fava, Italian ambassador to tha United States, says of the new king: “King Victor Emmanuel III. is popular, especially in Naples, his birthplace. His accession to the throne will have the im­ mediate effect of putting down any revo­ lutionary spirit that may exist.” Kenneth J. Ainsley, a Pittsburg sewer­ pipe manufacturer, tells of success In Mexico: “There is an opening for AmeriI can capital there in many other lines. The Government encourages the invest­ ment of foreign capital, and property is as secure as anywhere In the States. We formerly manufactured sewer pipe in Pennsylvania and shipped it to Mexico, but we found it would be much more profitable to send American machinery, there and erect a plant, and we now have a flourishing industry.” For reasons not difficult to understand public interest iu the Transvaal war seems to have waned since the fall of Pretoria and the overrunning of the two little republics by the big British ar­ mies. In reality, however, says a corre­ spondent. the Boers were never worthier of sympathy mid admiration than 'they bare shown themselves the last eight or ten weeks. It bus been difficult to follow tbe movements, as they bare not been reported- at os great length as dn the earlier stages of the war, bu{ it is evi­ dent that a gallant, determined, but in the end probably unavailing. IresUtnnee has been kept BAm under Dewet and Botha, and at times these able generals have been able to secure considerable victories over their foe. Gen. Botha's stand Saturday was the most’determined one recently made. On Sunday Lord Roberts* lieutenants, Gena. Buller, Freach and Pole-Carew, attacked In force Gen. Botha’s strongly intrenched situation.. The Boer front covered a chain of hill country ahd the line of defense was one of great natural strength. The Boera were.defeated with great loss nnd at last accounts were falling back. The .British losses were also reported to be considerable. London.is hoping that this is the end of the war, and it may be. It is taking no chances, however, and British re-en­ forcements are on the way to Africa. How much longer the Boers will be able to keep up their fight at such immense disadvantage it is difficult, in the ab-' sence of any exact information, to hazard even a reasonable guess. Should the present complications in Chiun involve England in a war with any of the great powers it would make the Boers’ oppor­ tunity. It is probably this hope that is now sustaining them in their struggle. CUBAN SCHOOL TeACHERS. Slate Senator William S. Heath u las: four yean as Senate.

NEW JERSEY BOYS HAVE LIVELY EXPERIENCE. hesitation induced by th* polities! cam­ paign. general trade condition* are aD that could be reasonably expected. There ha* been some Improvement in the last few week*. Many of the closest student* at the situation were a short time ago inclined to believe that the fiscal year which ended June 30 last, had probably seen the culminating point of the present, onward movement of general trade, but if the showing which, has been made by the first two mouths of the current year count* for anything, there is reason to believe that even the extraordinary rec­ ord of 1899-1900 is about to be eclipsed. The stock market* have been somewhat more active this week, but otherwise the speculative situation has shown littla change. The msricet Is still under tha control of professionals, and promise» to Chicago—Speculation tn wheat has been of moderate dimensions since a clining tendency, and, continuing to dis­ play a preference for lower prices, clos­ ed Saturday at a decline of nearly Z cents a bushel as compared with its value the close of the previous week. Heavy stocks In sight, and a rate of de­ liveries from farmers greater than cur­ rent requirements were the prime rea­ sons for the loss hi value. The demand from abroad was on a liberal scale, but not sufficiently so to overcome the effect of the large receipts. There are several paints In the present situation, as it -Is understood by a considerable number of the most experienced trader* in the mar­ ket, that are expected to develop Condi­ tion* of great strength. Bo far the cor­ rectness of the theories upon which such expectations are based have lacked tha confirmation of developed fact, and the followers of those bolding the opinions of crop shortage jare deserting gradually to the other side. A* a result the burden of .holding up the market has been left to a comparatively few and ha* become all the more onerous on that account. The question of a 500,000.000-bushel crop, or one of 550,000.000 bushel* is still open and likely to remain unsettled for some time longer* with the rate of re­ ceipts meantime tolling in favor of those holding the more liberal estimate of tha year’s production. HORSES PROTECTED FROM HEAT St. Loul* horse owners and drivers hays been taking no chances with the heat, says the Chronicle. A large number <d horses are supplied with a head shade or umbrella manufactured by local awn­ ing companies. The shade* are, varioua shapes of canvas Btretchod on wire frame work and supported by wire standards, which attach to the beadgear of the bri­ dle. There is no denying. «o horsemen claim, that the protection from the rays SEEPING OFF THE BUN. of heat thus afforded the animal saves many from prostration and death. Many farmers coming into the city al­ most daily, have improvised umbrellas for their horses with old stray ‘‘jimmies.’’ Holes are punched in either aide ot the hats for the animal's ears to protrude through, and they are as servi ■■table..ga the manufactured —--variety. M’KINLEY’S LETTER. President McKinley’* formal accept­ ance of his renomlnation by the Repub­ lican nation*! convention is now in the hands of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of the notification committee. The letter is nine newspaper column* Ju length, and the money question, the trust problem, the tariff, the gold reserve, the Isthmian canal, and the merit system are discussed in turn. The question of imperialism is the last issue discussed by the President. Al­ though placed as last in importance among the issues now before the people. President McKinley devotes more space to the subject than for all the others com­ bined. The policy of the administration in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine* is defended at great length. On the charge of “imperialism” the President declares that the opponents of the admin­ istration have failed to bring evidence to support their allegation.

The fury of the hurricane was spent ere many hour*, but its peri6d win long enough to cause almost unprecedented destruction. ’ From Che best reports it is evIdeuLthat the storm began between 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday forenoon.. Driven by the fury ot the gale the waves of the gulf inundated the long, low, sandy island up­ on which Gal«V*ton is built and which at It* highest |«o!.nt is not over fire feet above the gulf level, and before dark the whole city was under water from three to six feet. Thence the water gradually encroached farther inland and beyond the water mark the storm swept on with cyclonic fury., demolishing towns and .vil­ lages slong its course to a point righty mile* north of Houston. Mountain re­ gion and table land suffered alike, the gale razing hou.*e«, tearing up trees, ruin­ ing farms, and leaving behind it a wide wake of desolation. Southwest it swept along the coft st us far ns Corpus Christi and northeast across the Ix>uininna boun­ dary.

Russia Proposed Punishment. It. now appears that Russia first put forward th«> proposition for tbe punish­ ment of the leaders .of the Chinese up­ rising. This wa* in a paper offering a general program for conducting the peace negotiations. The first iten^ of the pro­ gram was the punishment of the Chinese offenders. The proposal came some time prior to the German note and seems to have been concurred in by France and some of the other powers, although it did not receive such general concurrence as to amount to an agreement. The German note now takes up’ this first item of the Russian program and makes it an Indis-’ pensible prerequisite to any negotiations. It materially differs from the Russian proposal, in that the latter made punish­ ment a part of the negotiations, while the German proposition now pending is to make the punishment precede the nego­ tiation*.

Kelly-Kenny Is dealing with one of these, which occupies a position at Doortiberg.” | CHURCH AND CLERDY. ? A fund is being raised in the diocese of Canterbury for a memorial to the late Archdeacon Maidstone. The late Archdeacon Furse was a per­ sonal friend of Mr. Gladstone and Lord Rosebery, and was a strong Liberal. The Bishop of Liverpool rbnted Walton jail recently, the occasion causing remark from the fact that it was the first offi­ cial visit a bishop had ever made to the prison. . Bishop John W. Hamilton, one of the pew bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has arriv<-d in San Francisco, which was made his official residence. He is said to be the youngest bishop of his church. He is now 55 years old. The death of Prof. E. P. Gould, D. D„ removes one who as professor at tbe Newton Theological Institute, and later at the Protestant Episcopal Divinity School, Philadelphia, had gained a high place 'among American New Testament scholars. Bishop William B. Derrick of New York, resident bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, favors the establishment of schools throughout the South for the care and education of the young men and women of his race who are imprisoned fur petty crimes. Many of these offender* are dow sentenced to terms in the penitentiaries when their reformation might be accomplished If there were schools or reformatories to which they might be assigned. TTje bishop is working on plans for th? estab­ lishment of fhe reformatories which he recommends. There is again talk that Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul will be made a car­ dinal at the next consistory. The Pope has shown him marked attention of late, and In certain Vatican circle* it is free­ ly talked that tbe purple will be con­ ferred on the American archbishop. The Rev.

At 13 the boy was compelled enter the mines at Braidwood and work for hi* living. His career as an official of the miners’ organisation began in 1895. Tbe miners’ convention elected him president in 1899 and 19Q0 by overwhelming ma­ jorities. .John Mitchell is believed in by the miners and members of organized labor generally for his calm/ judicial manner of conducting the afflir* of hi* organization at critical times, and for his untiring devotion to the men he serves. The wedding of Miss Mabel McKinley and Dr. Hermann* Ludwig Baer at Somerset, Pa., was one of the most bril­ liant social function* ever witnessed i» this country.

Gov. Roosevelt’* letter follows closely, along the lines of that of President Mc­ Kinley in accepting the first place on theRepublican national ticket. In opening: be maintains that the paramount issue is the money questioa and declares that the election ot Mr. Bry an would plunge tho­ rn untry into financial and economicchaos. Tn this connection Gov. Ro*m*velt turnb aside to praise the administra­ tion of President McKinley, under which. Im nay*, the country has tocn, blessed with a degree of prosperity ^bBolnteb' unparalleled. A paragraph or two of the letter i* also devoted to the trusts. The Gov-, ernor holds that tto problem is a serious, one' that must be studied carefully toavoid the coramisaion of grave wrongs against capital, but admits that a legis­ lative check is necessary. His idea i*. that much could be accomplished by pub­ licity—the compelling of the trust* to ex­ hibit financial stsorments of their busi­ ness to properly- accredited public offi­ cials.

"What a superb dress, and' how it be­ comes you! . Are you very happy, my dear?’ “As happy as other people. I suppose, mamma. I am very rich—and that must mean.that I am very happy. It will take me a whole day to sbo* you my dresses nnd jewels.” ' . They talked long, nnd Jibt unhappily. Presently Violet produced her presents. Mrs. Haye went into n rapture about a' dress of Genoa velvet and some superb Mechlin lace. After that Violet began to inquire about her old friends. "Mamma,” said Lady Cbevenix. with a alight flush on her face, "what do they say in Lilford about my marriage and me?’ "What can they say. my dear? Every­ one envies yon, everyone talks about ydur wonderful marriage." Violet took up the rich tassels of Sot. dress and played with them. She never raised her eyes to her mother’s face. . “But do they—I mean, have, they said that I did wrong?’ “Wrong!” cried Mrs. Haye. "Why should they? Which of them would not have done tbe same thing? Which of them would not be pleased to do the same wrong?’ Lady Cbevenix looked relieved. "I was afraid they would say F had acted unfairly,” she said, slowly. "Mam­ ma. how are the Lonpdolcs? How is Felix?" There was a brief silence before the question was answered, and then Mrs. Haye told her wonderful story. “You have never heard of such a change of fortune. Violet,” she said; "it is almost as wonderful as your own; I can hardly understand it. The Lonsdale# seem to have all the business of tbe town now, and of the county, too. They have —I cannot tell how many clerks; they give grand dinner parties; and, what seems to me stranger still, they are fre­ quently invited to Brnmber Towers.” “We shall visit there, I suppose," re­ marked Lady Cbevenix. “I am very pleased indeed to bear all this, mamma; if any family ever did deserve good for­ tune they did* They are recognized by the county now, I suppose?* "Yes, quite. Lady Rolfe has taken them up. I hear of nothing but the Lonsdales.” There was alienee again for some min­ utes, and then Violet said, slowly: “And Felix, r^imtna—have you seen him sincejny marriage?* "No, not once, my dear." was Mrs. Haye’s reply. "I need hardly say that he has nevurebeen here." “Do they say—do they know if he thought much of it? Did he make a great trouble of it. mamma?’ she naked. “I cannot say," replied the cautiousmother; “I have never heard the subject mentioned." Lady Chevemx was silent again. After a little while she said,-quickly: "I should like to ask you one question more: Does Felix—has he found anyone else to care about yet?" ’T have not heard so. VioIeL my dear, you have every blessing the world can give; do not think about him. And. if you will take my advice, you will n«t talk about him; Sir Owen might not like It.” "I shall be careful,, mamma; I shall not speak of him. But I wanted to hear about him just onee.” She said no more then, but as she sat in the familiar room she thought a great deal of him—it was impossible to help it. The quick eyes noted how completely ev­ ery trace of him had been removed.

Public meet­ ings were held al Jcdckx West Hazle­ ton. Harwood and McAdoo. President Mitchell addressed the West Hazleton nnd MrAdoo gatherings, while Organizer Courtwright spoke at the Harwood meet­ ing. Fn toe Tx*hlgh region, it Is said, about 8.000 of the 16,000 mine employes have quit- work. Nearly all the efforts of the strike leaders are being devoted to organ­ izing the men in the Schuylkill and Le­ high regions, where they are wenkert. The strike came off officially w ith little ■excitement, but surrounded with all kind of doubt. The United Mine Workers leaders Meerm-d to be the only ones wh6 came near to the figures. 'Hie attempts of Father’ Phillips to have the troubles arbitrated are thought by a number of leaders to have slightly injured the cause of the strikers, because he seemed to place them in an equivocal position, in which they refused to accept arbitration when it was offered them, although they claimed to be fighting for it.

Fleet Will Blockade Luzon in Effort to End Insurrection. The Nary Department is strengthen­ ing the United State* naval force* on the Asiatic station. Admiral Schley's South American. squadroB. already small, will be still fur­ ther depleted by the departure uf .the gunboat Wilmington from Montevideo in n few day*. The Albany, now in theMediterranean, is under orders to go to China nt once via' the Suez Canal, and the gunboats Annapolis and the Vicks­ burg nnd the converted yaeht Dorothea will leave American waters as soon as they can bo nut in commission. The fleet under Admiral Remey will l>e still further augmented by the battle­ ship Kcntueky, which, with the other cruisers and gunboat* now on the Asiat­ ic station, will bring the strength of oqr naval force in Oriental waters up to a total of thirty-four vessels. This force is only exceeded by, that of Great BritFrance. Germany, Japan, Russia and Austria al! have smaller forces both ns to number and strength, and should hostilities occur between the allies there is no danger that the United States, will be overmatched at the outset. This fleet is bring assembled ostensibly for the protection of American interests in China and as a show of force to the other powers now involved in the Chi­ nese imbroglio. But it Is said in Wash­ ington that not all the vessels are to be stationed in Chinese waters. The real use for this fleet, it is claimed, will be to blockade Luzon during the coming win­ ter campaign and assist in bringing the war in the Philippine* to a close. Ftntement of the Striker*. The United 5^ine Worker* of the Wilkesbarre district issued th* following statement: "The eighth day of the strike shows the men in the Wyoming region to be more united than ever. All tbe mines in tbe district are idle, and three washeries which were in operation the great­ er part of last week are not now in oper­ ation. Our men are quiet and orderly and paining accession* to their ranks every day. A new society of United Workers was organised at Pittston. The men in that section are thoroughly organized now. The miners of Ashley are also well organized. On the whole the situation is very encouraging.” Sixteen thousand more mlue opera­ tives are idle in what is known as the Mahanoy valley, which extends fourteen mile* along Broad mountain. The action of tbe men is a surprise to the military and the mine owner*. It was entirely unlocked for, and has given renewed courage to the strike leader*. They de­ clare that the mine worker* around Shenandoah have gone out on a sym­ pathy strike. The authorities have recrlred warning of impending trouble around Hazleton and desire to move some of th* troops in that direction. NOTES OF THE STRIKE. | Gen.

A* time parsed on Sir Owen, to use hi* ii expression, wa* n-.velty and restraint of bi* new life had •wuhl* natural characteristics were iu full play, and there were times wh.-n his young wife wished heraeff deadBhe was not often driven to such despair; but occasionally he was terrible. A* a whole ahe enjoyed her life. • She had money nnd everything that she wished for: she enjoyed her magnificent home, with all its uttendanit luxuries; she was by universal consent queen of the- county. . For aunie time there was ill-will be­ tween herself nnd Lady Rolfe. She did nut wish to' ask either that lady or her daughter Lavinia to Garswood, but after a few word* from her buaband she wns compelled to give way. She had the good sense to make the best of it. nnd Lady Rolfe became a frequent visitor to Garswood. During ail thia time Violet had never ance seen Felix. She had heard of hitn continually—he was rising rapidly in the world. She beard <dd Col. Riddell speak of him one evening whrtt she. with Sir Owen, went over to a formal aud stately dinner party nt Lady Rolfe’s. "Mark my words." suid the colonel, "the leading man in this pnrt ot the world is, or very soon will . be. young Felix Lonsdale, rtw lawyer’s son. 1 have watched him with interest. He will I* a leader yet. He acts as ibe earl's agent now. and Lord Arlington ba* implicit gonfidettee In him. 1 prophesy that with the earl’s interest he will bo returned as a member for the borough, and that once In Parliament we shall hear of him." One or two other* agreed with the colonel. Tbe face of Lady Chevenix grew crimson when she heard ber hus­ band give a little insulting laugh. “I have beaten him *nce," said Sir Owen, "and I will beat him again; if he goes in fur-one interest. 1 will gq in fur the other." For his wife’s sake uo one answered ‘ • him: and Lady Rulfe gave the signal for tbe IndiiS to withdraw. Lad) Maude Bramber hnd been absent from home for some few days, and during that lime the earl hnd rent out invitations for a dinner party, if he and his countess bad heard anything of the love story of Felix and Violet, they hnd completely for­ gotten it. ThC carl sent out the invita­ tions, and one went to Gnrswooib-for Sir Owen nnd l.ady Chevenix. and one to Felix Lonsdale. Lord Arlington very sel­ dom bad n large dinner parly now with■ out inviting Felix; his brilliant couversa«tionni powers made him a most welcome guest. “Felix is a ho*t in bimself," the earl would say, laughingly. He'had not the faintest idea, when he sent out hi* invitations, of baying done wrong. Lady Mnude. to whom Felix had revealed his lute story, did iiot-return un­ til tbe day ot the dinner party, and then it was too late to send u note ur message anywhere. “They must meet some tinM*.” she said to herself, in dismay: "perhaps it will be belter here than elsewhere. 1 shall be at hand to help him if he requires help." She said nothing to anyone, but await­ ed the course of events. .The dinner wn« given in honor of Lord Rayden, a great sintestnan. wjm was vis­ iting the.earl, and Lord Arlington was both 11leased and proud to introduce hi* young nnd gifted protege to his friend. Col. Riddell was invited—he would sure­ ly not have gone had he known that he , wa* to meet Sir Owen, whom he detested —also Lady Rolfe, her daughter Lavinia, and several other friends. It wa* a warm day. ami* the green •hade of the foliqgv all about Bramber Towers was cool und inviting. The din­ ner hour was fixed for seven. Lady Maude was the first in the draw­ ing room, und to her great delight Felix eaine in soon afterward. She was wonderfulyi proud of him. As Intdy Mande looked at him, she thought to herself that , there could not be a finer. handsomcr,or Bolder looking man iu Elkland than be There was a warm friendship between the two. Felix would have done anything in the world for the noble, beautiful Woman who bad dbemed to him like an angel of comfort in tbe darkest hour of his lite; tie had the greatest reverence, tbe greatest esteem for her; he knew that he owed all hi* cwd fortune to ber kindly influence with the earl. And l.ady Maude was very fond of him. She watched his career with pride and hope; she had a feeling almost of proprietorship in him; but for her he might hare gone to the bad. So now she waited for him. nnd. when he hnd spoken a few words of greeting to her. she said: "1 was waiting for you. Mr. Lonsdale; f have something to tell you. I know yon nre a bra re mau; this evening I shall ace your bravery put to severe proof." He eutild not imagine what she meant, but he said that he hoped whatever might be tbe proof she would not find him wantiug. "1 have no fear as to that," she’ said, earnestly. “Mr. Lonsdale, 1 want to tell you that l.ady Crevenix will be here this evening. Papa made up his list of invi­ tations .during my absence, and I could dt» nothing." , - She wns glad they were alone. His face grew white as death—so white that •be was alarmed; be stood quite still, and *hp saw his bund tremble. She saw the great effort that be made to recover hlrnrelf. He succeeded: tbe color returned to hia face; he stilled 'the trembling of his hands; he smiled as he answered her: “You are »o good to me. Lady Maude, that I am at a loss how w thank you for giving tue this warning. 1 needed it. If I had met Lady Cberenix suddenly I should have been terribly embarrassed; "And will keep so?" «aid Lady Maude, •araestly. -Look," said Lady Maude, a* she touched Felix's arm gently.

Mbixell of East Grand Rapids made the first cannon shot as­ cension ever seen in this vicinity. % The balloon rose at about 6 o’clock. Attached to it was a large iron cannon. There was no sign of the aeronaut. When the Imlloon had gone up to a great height there was a puff of smokev from the cannon, followed by a dull boom, the "big gun tipped its muzzle downward and f*rof. Meixell shot out. He fell rapidly for a considerable dis­ tance, ana then the parachute opened and he floated safely to the ground. The ascension was decidedly more thrilling than the ordinary parachute exhibition. Tbe cannon ascension is considered more dangerous thap the usual type of ballooning and it is said that but three men have essayed It. COMMANDER RASS1EUR Last But Not Least General Purpose Team.

CHINA OFFERS REPARATION There were tfvo important develop­ ment in connection with affairs in China Saturday. One was the receipt by tne State Department in Washington of a Z A cablegram from ,1 Consul General t• Goodtiow nt Shang­ hai, stating that Sheng, Chinese di­ rector of railways and telegraph’s, hnd hnnded him a de­ cree of the Emper­ or nnd Enyiress, blaming their min­ PRIXCE SHEXG. isters for eucouragIng the Boxers. The second. was the announcement by _ Mr. Hill, acting Secretary of State, that the instructions of this government toMinister Conger had been forwarded to . Pekin. The 'advices from Consul Gen­ eral Goodnow are to the effect that China goes further than merely issuing an edict denunciatory of the Boxer lenders.. The edict orders the degradation of four princes, and deprives Prince Tuan of his salary and official servants, and directs that he be brought for trial before the imperial clan court. The instructions to Minister Conger nra understood to cuntain,4he following stipu. ’ tattoos: 1. That Prince Tunn Ih* removed from of­ fice and some one acceptable to the |x>wvr« " lie appointed In his pl<ce. 2.

The Chinese government has taken this intimation to heart, and— perhaps, hastened in its action by the re­ cent manifestation of dli«satisfaction by the United States government a’ the re­ ported promotion of Prince Tuan—al­ ready has begun the punishment of bin. and the other Chinese leaders who are held guilty.

But Kate would not have it so; forth* first time almost iu her life she differed from her steiison. "You must go, Felix." she said. "Only 'think what people -will say if you stay away!

Lady- Maude called Felix to her aide. And so the I^ousdales' arrival pass­ ed off us the arrival of any othfrr guest would have done. ' “I am glad you came.” said Lady Mauue to Felix. ' “1 was afraid you would refuse—and I should have been sorry for that." Then dinner wm announced, and the long nnd stately procession moved for­ ward. to the dining room. Felix, from 'Where he sat. could uot only arc Lady’ Chevenix, but he could hear all that was passing. He wondered at her perfect grace and elegance. Sir Owen, awed by the presence of his distinguished guests, In-hared with great propriety, aud altogether the dinner was a great success. Lady Chevenix gave the signal to tjie Countess of Arlington, and the Indies rose. Felix sprang up to open the door for them. Hi* eyes met Violet's, nnd be saw a red flush cover her face aud rise even to the roots of her hair. Was she ashamed of the price of her .faithlessness? be wondered. Was she ashamed to parade before him her wealth, her grandeur, her jewels? The more shame she felt the better for her— it was a good sign. "Barely." thought Lady Chercnix, "F word* to him. 1 must know if he aitvuys intend* to be as he fa now, so cold, m> proud, so unforgiving." But it was a far more difficult matter than she had thought. She could not •peak to biui without attracting observa­ tion, unless‘he either purpowly or acddmtally found himself near her.

Very favorable conditions pre­ vailed in the west gulf States, central Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys, and generally on the Pacific roast. • East of the Mississippi river the week has been very favorable for gathering com, but in the principal corn States westward of the Mississippi this work has been interrupted by wet weather, and in portions of Fowa, Missouri and Kan­ sas some damage has been done by heavy rains. « Except where interrupted by rains in portions of Arkansas. Oklahoma and Missouri cotton picking has progressed under exceptionally favorable conditions, t and is unusually well advanced.

AGREEMENT IS LIKELY ON CHI­ NESE QUESTION. a Desire to Coase 1st Other Powers-A Pe preach to an- nuderstanding among the powers in regard to the Chinese ques­ tion. Friday brought important develop­ ments, and it seems not too extravagant .or optimistic to express the opinion that an agreement upon the basis of peace and a perimnieut settlement is nt last in sight. To begin with, the German gov­ ernment bus withdrawn the demand for the surrender to die foreign commanders of the original instigators of the attacks upon the legation*. It has not done this in express terms, to be’sure, but the log-, leal inference from the new note of the Berlin foreign offiae ia unmistakable. The point which William previously urged ns the one condition upon which negotiations could Be opened was that China must surrender its guilty officials to the powers, who were, to be the judges of their guilt and determine the penalty therefor. The German-Emperor's late note to Kuang-Hsu, however, simply de­ manded that punishment be imposed and implied that ths infliction of adequate punishment by China itself would be sat­ isfactory. The note to the powers now confirms the fact of a change of front on the Emperor’s part. It asks for opin­ ions as to whether the list of persons China proposes to .punish "is sufficient end correct,” whether the punishments -proposed are ample and how the powers propose to control the carrying out of the penalties imposed. Germany thus seems to be coming into line "with the other powers. in the edict of the Emperor of Chiba ordering the punishment of a number of princes and dignitaries,. Including the chief offender, Tuan, Germany perceives "the first rign of a practical basis for the re-establishment of an orderly state.'of things in China.” It welcomes this Indi­ cation and proposes that each of the pow­ ers in the concert instruct ita_diplomutic representatives in China to give their opinion, after due inquiry, on the follow­ ing points: ' 1. Whether the list contained in the edict, of persons to be punished is suffi­ cient and correct. 2. Whether the punishments proposed meet the case. 3. In what way the powers cun control the carrying out of the penalties impos­ ed. The United States has been prompt in giving Its.indorsement to the new Ger­ man proposal, and it has directed Minis­ ter Conger to report upon the questions above specified. If the edict is not ti sheer pretense. China has herself remov­ ed the chief obstacle to peace. The Franco-Russian proposition, which ranched this government almost simulflmcoualy with that of Germany, is not In any sense Inconsistent with it. It isbroader in scope and looks beyond the “important initial step” of punishment. Here are its terms: 1. Punishment of the guilty Chinese of­ ficiate. .2. The Interdiction ofarms and muni- Lawyer Commits Suicide. I •8. The payment of indemnity to the powers. 4. A sufficient Chinese guaranty for the future. Under the last head it is suggested that the Tnku forts be destroyed and a line of communication established between Pe­ kin and the seaboard. This means that Costly Fire at Mo*cow.

Born in Geelong, Vic­ toria, Australia, in February, he re­ ceived bls first education in Melbourne, later entering Edinburg University, and C. M. From boyhood he has been fond of travel and adventure. When barely twenty he crossed Australia os foot from the Gulf bl Carpentaria to Melbourne. In 1883 be went to New Guinea, and while exploring among parts hitherto untramjnrled by white man was speared and dangerously wounded by the natives. From October. 1883. until July. 1884, .he curried the spear head in his body, finally going to Edinburg to have it extracted by the surgical experts of the famous Scotch University. He soon recovered from the effects of the operation and entered the university as a medical student. Hj: was graduated in 1887. The following year he crossed from Shanghai to Rangoon by land, and befcnn the Btudy of the far East, on which he is now a recognized authority. He began his newspaper work under the Times, being sent as a special correspon­ dent op a trip from Bangkok, Siam, to Yunnan City, in China, aud round Ton­ quin., This was in 189<». In 1897 be crossed Mnnchttrin from Strctenak, in Si­ beria, to Vladivostok. Dr. Morrison was among the Euro­ peans to take refuge in the British lega­ tion at Pekin during the siege. He fought side by aide with the soldiers in the trenches nnd was severely wounded. Notwithstanding his injuries he wrote several important dispatches to the Times and was the first correspondent to tell of tbe Chinese treachery. * Few-Line Interviews. < Miss E. Ward of .Chicago, a former missionary in Pekin, says of the roads to the capital: "Until the completion of the railroad to Tien*tsin some three years ago transportation to the capital was chiefly by way of the Pei-Ho to TungChou. thence overland to Pekin. The river being very winding nearly doubled the distance from Tien-tsin. From TungChon to Pekin, twelve miles, is an an­ cient stone road. Over this road the al­ lies marched. The huge stone blocks have sunk in many places, making it al­ most impossible for anything but the mandarin chair or mule-litter easily to traverse it. 'rhe sick and wounded sol­ diers. I understand, were mostly con­ veyed in the mule-litter, a mode of trawl­ ing which T always found comparatively A large numln-r of Chicagoans have Bal-. abolished th ccooking of their food. Mr*. lot for President. At the approaching presidential elec­ tion a considerable body of new voters, made up of Indians who«e tribal relations have been broken up and who have be­ come full citizen* of the United States, will help somewhat to increase the un­ certainty of the result. According to the census of ten years ago there were more than 32,000 taxed nnd taxable Indians having the right of suffrage as citizens of different States. ft will be fount!, when the present cen­ sus is completed, that the^number of tax­ able Indians has Increased by reason of the breakityLMjnjFmoro reservations and the enforced independence nf certain tribes that have 'been wards of the government for years. And if the policy that is being pushed now is carried for­ ward consistently nearly every Indian in the country will be enfranchised before another presidential election takes place. Of the 230.000 Indians in the United States, the most considerable and impor­ tant body are. the 70,000 belonging to the five civilized tribes in the Indian terri­ tory, nnd still living under a tribal gov­ ernment. These 'tribal organizations are breaking up. the Creeks nnd the Choc­ taws having already signed an agreement to allot their territory and become cRb sens of the United States. L. A. Haworth thinks the spread of the custom of eating-rawsfood would benefit those who would observe it. She says: "I firmly believe thnt mankind generally would enjoy tenfold blessings but for the most disastrous influences of taking cooked food with its dead cells into the system. I do not believe in eating raw meats. Nothing with blood In it should be eaten at all, for blood makes us sav­ age in our natures. I find that after short -practice the uncooked diet is ns toothsome as any. and I believe that in a short lime it will l>e fa? more so.” About the condition of the striking coal .minors Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, says: "Behind them is unutterable want. They hove licen hungry so long that they will suffer nothing uncommon from protract­ ed idleness. It is pitiable to see the suf­ fering of men and their families because of paltry wages. I speak frolu what f have seen, for I have just been in the anthracite region. The American Fed­ eration of Labor will give them nil possi­ ble financial nid." Gov. Joseph D. Sayers of Texas, on the groat storm: "The loss of life*occasioned by the storm in Galveston and elsewhere on the southern const cannot be loss than 12.000 lives, while the loss of property will probably aggregate $20,­ 000.000. Notwithstanding this severe af­ fliction, I have every confidence that the stricken districts will rapidly revive and thnt Galveston will, from her present desolation nnd sbrrow. arise with renew­ ed strength and rigor."

The Mowing Machine. We remember when the first mow­ ing machines began to be used (fibre were many fanners who expressed au opinion that they cut so close to the ground that the, gt^tss roots would be burifed out by the heat of the sun if there was not rain soon. I’robhbly this has sometimes happened uj>on certain soils, where the roots did not penetrate deeply, and where tbe stand of grass was so thin that the stubble did uot shade the soil at all to prevent the evap­ oration from It. Yet many of those same'farmers cut their grass'closer to the ground with the hand scythe than the mowing machine got; that Is, they did so in tbe center of the swath, for they were not what we call good mow­ ers. pointing in and out and leaving the. ■tubble level, but cut with a swing that left each swath what we called a “hog trough" high where the swaths met, but very low In the eenter. The most obvious way to remedy tbe danger of cutting too low would be to set the knives higher, but It Is not the best way. Make tbe soli light nnd porous by having plenty of vegetable matter In It. and rich enough to grow a thick tuff, and there Is little danger of the sunshine Injuring the roots, and a shower or even a heavy dew will cause it to brighten up very quickly.—Ameri­ can Cultivator. New Early Potato. Despite the fact that some growers do not favor the early Ohio potato, the variety Is regarded by many as the best of tbe early varieties, which, adds that a white form of tbe variety 4s being In­ troduced. It originated with a Western ' sV’ •kARI.V OHIO POTATO. grower, who. having used Northern seed, found three years ago a plant pro­ ducing pure white potatoes, Identical In- every way with the beat of the bld Ohio except in color, Which Is a One white.—American Gardening. Evidence ac» umulates Id regard to tbe value of grinding tbe com ami cob together for feeding to stock, as was the custom of our fathers. It is claim­ ed that the pore meal packs w> much Hotter lu tbe digestive organs as not to . be an thoronghiy acted upon by «u?m M the lighter meal whin the eob is nel. ami 10.40 pounds of dry which 7.11 was dlgestlbu? In Then the whole ear ground Mbould be nearly 13 per rrni hotter than tbie ker­ nels n^qc. an imjMjrtan^ item, well re­ paylug the cost of grinding. At the Kansas 'station they reported that In a feeding test with pigs, 650 pounds of corn and cub meal made 100 pounds of gain, while <TYbe pure meal it took 070 pounds. ■ Taking the North Caro­ lina figure* wltUjheM*. we find that tbe number of pounds of ear* making 100. pound* of uorKf when all was ground together, would make but little over 80 pounds when only the kernels were ground. A Nebraska farmer who feeds many cattle says he finds it profitable to grind corn and cob when it 'is 23 cents a bushel, aud haring hl* own mill with sweep power, he can grind it for a half cent a bushel. But all agree thnt fine grinding is important. Growing chicks cannot be persuaded to ent too much. Push them along so that they wi(i attain full growth before coM wjfalther sets In. Tbe pullets of early hatchings, If well fed and In warm quarters, should bn ready to lay by winter, nnd If the quarters are warm enough they should lay fairly well all winter. ‘ ' .. Separate the young roosters from the pullets If It is possible aud feed them extra, so that they may be full grown nnd well fleshed when tbe time comes to sell them. They should be kept hun­ gry. yet have sufficient to eat. A good plan Is to give them enough to only par­ tially satisfy their tppetite in the morn Ing nnd never enough during the day, so thnt they will hunt around for food. The exercise will do them good. But for the evening meal they should have enough of good grain to till their crop, so that they can go to roost comforta­ bly. Late hatched chirks should re­ ceive the very best of care and be pushed along as rapidly as possible, as It is easier to do this now than when the wcathqr becomes cold. When the chickens have attained their full growth or nearly so, and the fattening period begins, they should lie confined iu a small yard, so that while they may have a little exercise, yet not the unlimited run they were accustomed' to. if the fattening is to be done very rapidly, each bird should lie confined in a small coop just large enough- for them. ’ To Jadec Horse Character. Horse phrenology Is the latest <llscovery of tbe Royal College of Veterary Surgeons of England. According, to Harold Leeney, a’ member of the col­ lege. it is easy to tell a horse's character by tbe shape of his nose. -If there is' a gentle curve to the profile nnd at tlie HIGHEST TTFS OF HOUSE ,, . same time the ears are pointed and sensitive It is safe to hank on the anhnal ns gentle nnd at the same time high-spirited. If. bn the other hand, the horse has a dent In. the middle of tbe nose it Is equally safe tp set him dowu as -treacherous and vic­ ious. The Roinanuosed horse is cer­ tain to be n good an­ imal for hard work and safe to drive. hut be Is apt to slow. A horse with . a slight concavity in the profile will be scary aud need coaxing. A horse that droops bls ears is apt to be lazy as well as vicious, but hard work will some­ times make a horse, which started out properly let his ears drop. • Htackinc the Straw, In some way the wheat and oat straw should all be utilized. If It can­ not all be fed to tbe stock to advantage. It can at least be used for bedding and In U»is way be converted Into manure. There are few farms where there Is too much manure. Generally if more care were taken to tnnke^save ami ilppiy more manure, better crop* at a less cost would lx? grown, and where wheat and oats are made n part of the farm crops, the straw should in some way find It* way back to the land. Straw alone Is not a complete food. Animals must consume too large a bulk of It, more than can be properly.digest­ ed if even a fairly thrifty condition is maintained. But if combined with other iMaterials it cau be used to a good advantage. If mixes! with clover hay nnd a small proportion of wheat bran is added, a very good ration is pro­ vided and one that is at the same time economical. Like everything else saved for feed much dejiends upon the condition. With a little care Iji stack­ ing. so that it will keep In a good con­ dition It can be used to a nuirtr better advantage either for feeding or bed­ ding. Even when wanted for bedding It should lx? slacked up where it can be kept dry, ns dry tniddlng will help materially In making the stock com­ fortable in winter. Bloat in Cattle. When cattle onTfarst turned on young clover in the spring there is danger of bloat. The remedy which we use is a very simple and effective one and can lie quickly applied. It consist* simply of a round stick about two inches In diameter aud twelve inches long, with a piece of small roj>e attached to each end. In case of bloat plait* the stick crosswise tn the mouth and fasten it there by tying the pieces of rope to­ gether over.the bead. This permits tbe gas formed by tbe clorer to pass off. A three-ounce dose of kerosene should also be given. If the animal is not too far goue. *. cure will be effected in half an hour.—f. A, Moerlock. BANDITS GET NEARLY *100,000 DURING THE YEAR. Officials of railroad and. express com­ panies tear an epidemic of train and ex­ press car robberies. Though detective* profess to believe that bolding up of* trains la an industry that is rapidly go- in accord with their views. Within the last year fire express cars were looted and tbe robbers secured $7(5,­ 700. This is the loss as estimated by express'companies, but it is a noted fact that officials of carrier companies are al­ ways inclined to withhold tbe real figures so us to discourage future attempts; In the same period of a year one express comjymy han suffered a loss of 821,000 by package* which disappeared while In transit, Paawengera on two train* aud one stage line were relieved of money and. valuables. Thus, despite all effort* to class the train robber and express thief as a personage of the past, the to­ tal profit* to the follower* of the profes­ sion for less than a year have summed up at leant $100,000. * In addition to this two unsuccessful at­ tempts were made to rob USins, which would have put the sum total away above that mark.

Official advices to the Department of Agricul­ ture-report that the foot and mouth disease Is very prevalent among live stock throughout almost all of Europe, except Norway, Sweden and Holland, and Importations of ffnlmais from Eu­ ropean countries, principally Germany, France, Austria. Belgium and Switzer­ land, Is being prohibited by this Gov­ ernment. A special permit from tbe Secretary of Agriculture la required for the entry- of all these animals subject to contagions disease, and applications for. permits from the countries where the disease Is prevalent are being re­ fused by the department. Few articles in the agricultural line of writlug bare attracted more atten­ tion or perhaps done more to aronse a determination to do better than those of Mr. George M. Clark, which we have published this season, upon grass grow­ ing. Many writers before have urged the need of more thorough Atting of tbe land before sowing grass seed, of using manure and fertilizers more free­ ly, and of seeding with mon* seed. But with Mr. Clark it Is-not a matter of the­ ory. He has practiced what others have prrache<l, and lie has practical results to show for what he has done. Others may have grown as tall grass, but they guessed at the height, and did not measure it. Some may have had as much hay upon acre, but they did not weigh It.

A aprayer is the beat to The Kind You Have Always Bought and game laws of the State for the month of Septemhvr.” »aya ‘ Game Warden Tlx- Michigan- Lcgtaiaturr convened in «pei?l*l session 1st doou Wednesday in re•ponjw to the prodamation of Gw. Flngree, who declares that the question of taxing corjForxte property and repealing the special charters of railroads is para­ mount in this Stan. The Governor m his message says that be "will give his approval to any measures designed to bring about equal taxation. * It is conceded that tbe matters that the L«*guriat.ure are to consider art* of the greatest important. The repeal af’the special railroad charters will make the State liable for damages variously esti­ mated at $4,900,600 to $7,090,009. while the projxwd amendment to the constitu­ tion will, if adopted, revolutionize tbe system <>f taxation now prevailing in the Following tbe reading of theGoveraor’s mesaage Wednesday afternoon a joint resolution providing for a coustitutivunl. amendment was introduced mid referred to the judiciary committee. As agreed to by the co/niuittee that night the reso­ lution confers upon the Legislature the power to levy ad valorem taxes on cor­ porations in place of specific taxes, leav­ ing the classification of the corjiorations entirely with the Legislature. Gov. Pingree's message, delivered tp the IxFgislattire in joint convention Wed­ nesday afternoon, is In part as follows: You haVc been called together In special session for action upon two very Important taxation measures: 1. A resolution providing for the submis­ sion to the people of Mlehlgnn st the gen­ eral election to be held on November •! next of an amendment or ameudincnts *o the constitution of tbe State which .will permit the enactment of laws that will provide fjjr the equal taxation of all property by an assessment of tbe some as -Us actual caah value, and * 2. Bills providing for the repeal or amend­ ment of the special charters of railroads. In the proclamation calling yeu together I gave you substantially tbe reasons for my action. One Is that anless this constitu­ tional amendment Is submitted to the peo*>le at the election on NcAember H next, equni or uniform taxation cannot tw made an accomplished fact for at least two yearn and a half. Another 1« that this la a Presi­ dential year, and so complete and general au espreMion of the wish of the people can­ not be had again for four years. . Under our constitution as construed by tbe. Supreme Court of Michigan It Is prac­ tically Impossible to frume a law by which the property of railroad, telegraph, tele­ phone and express companies can be taxed upon its true value unless we resort to local taxation. This latter method would deprive so many school districts of neces­ sary revenue that It would be a most st-rlcus blow to our scboal'.syalt m. it would alto In Its results be grossly unjust to tbe com­ panies themne1ve>. Tbe «wll effects of this method of taxing these properties are so apparent that few cau bu found wbu will advocate It. it follows, therefore, that the people a?e demanding nn amendment to the constitu­ tion' which Is absolutely, nt-crumry for tbe cstabllshmeut of uniform taxation, and tbe simple proposition now Is: Shall the people be given the only opportunity which the form of our government permits to change our organic Isw that thia can be done? To deny them this Is equivalent to. saying that they are not lit for'self-government. As I bare already stated iu a prior mes­ sage to the Legislature during the period from ls*o to WW, tbe rate of taxation for State purposes increased from (J cents per capita to $1.U4 per capita. During tbe same period the proportion of taxes for State pur­ poses paid by tbe railroad companies de­ creased from 72 per cent in 1850 to 21 7-10 per cent in IMO. The State daring the early period ot rail­ road development encouraged the railroads by making them gift* of property nnd grant­ ing them valuable privileges in I hr shape of exemption from taxation. It ill becomes them now. when they nre so wealthy and pronpen.ua, to resist the efforts of the peo­ ple of the Slate to place them on the same footing as to taxation with all other cor­ porations and persons. .. The subject of the repeal of special char­ ters of railroads I* aUo a matter which has been tinder consideration for so long a per­ iod of time that It is not now necessary for me to enter Into n full discussion of the arguments In support of such repeal, it is no longer disputed by nnyom- aud I hardly tblult by railroad officials themselves that special charter* should be cither re­ pealed or amended. The platforms of both political parties declare for their repeal and the candidates for Governor upon both Sparty tickets hare announced themselves In ubiic addressee ns being emphatically In nvor ot withdrawing these special prlvk ' leges. Yen nil know that these clutters were granted when the State was in an un­ developed condition and were given for the purpoieof eucquragliig and aiding the buildJng aud extension of railroads. Tbe rail­ roads operating In this .State under special charters tiro ns follows: 1. Michigan Central Railroad Company, main line, running from the City of l»etrott to the Michigan and Indiana State line near New Bnffalo. a distance of 221 miles. 2. I.tike Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Company, main line from Ohio aud Michigan State Uue In Munroe County to Indiana and Michigan State Hue In St. Jo­ seph County, a distance of 110.07 miles. Jai-ksou branch, from la-nawce Junction to Jackson, 42.lt! miles, and Monroe branch, from Lenawee Junction to Mouroe, 20.4o mih-s: total mileage. 187.68, operated at present under speciar charter by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad and tbe Eric nnd KaiamsMo Railroad. 3. Detroit Grand Haven and MHwaukes Railroad Company, running from Detroit to Grand Haven, a distance cf 180 miles. If damages must be paid we not only add to them by waiting, but we continue a wrong well. You /will recall that at tho regular session of ytntr bodies nn net was passed constituting the Railroad Commla•loner, the State Treasurer ar.d tbe Secre­ tary of State a commission "to negotiate with such railroad companies as arc incor­ porated under special charters to ascertain upon what terms such railroad companies will surrender their regiwctlve-charters and rclucorporate. under rite general railroad lows ot the State ofMichlgan; also to as­ certain. ns nearly a* such commission is able to estimate and determine the same, the amount of damages «aeb nnd al! rail­ road companies will be entitled to in event of tbe repeal of such special charters." I have requested n report from this com­ mission ns to the status nnd results of their negotiations, and umbmlt their report here­ with. 1 heartily concur In the recumsnoudatlon which the commission makes, and the matter Is now before you for proper legis­ lation. The question of Tfamages is un­ doubtedly one for tbe courts to decide. Tbe special charter commission refer­ red to by tbe Governor reported in favor of tbe repeal of all special charters, giv­ ing the railroads six months tn which to incorporate nmler the general laws of the State, and providing that the question of damage# I* referred to n dburt of compe­ tent jurisdiction for determination. These propositions ire said to be generally sat­ isfactory to the railroad catnp&niex, and in cum* of-tbe passage of the repealing act the Supreme Court will I* asked to determine ibe extent of damages sus­ tained.

The State Supreme Conrt, in a unani­ mous opinion, declares the act granting a bounty of 1 cent per pound on all beet fiugnr manufactured in the State, uncon­ stitutional. The act was passed by the Legislature of 1807. The decision Is the result of a mandamus asked for hr the Michigan Sugar Company of Bay City to compel the Auditor General to pay bounty earned in 1898. During August the railroads $3,580,668 in Michigan, nn increase $166,648 over August. 1890. During tbe first eight months of 1000 tbe aggregate Michigan earnings wore $25,640/134. an increase of $2,419,179 over the same months last year. ot NEW YOM. Ih view of the fact that' typhoid fever is usually more prevalent nt this season of the year than nt any other time, and as this disease is prevented by the destruc­ tion or avoidance of the germs, the office of the Stat,e Board of Health is just now redoubling its efforts to warn the public of the presence of this dangerous com­ municable dixee*?. which might easily be restricted, hut which annually destroys n thodund victims. Bearing in mind that the water tlu>-^nroi»le drink is. the mast common source of the disease the board advises the people to boil nil water not absolutely above suspicion and nil water from shallow wells. Prof. C. F. Wheeler ot the Agricul­ tural College has returned from Benton Harbor, whither he went to investigate complaints of fanners that disease had attacked their sugar beets. He reports that he found the spot disease and scab, but not to an extent to cause alarm, and also n new bacterial disease which he still has under consideration. There is a falling off in the percentage of sugar in beets of this year’s growth, but the in­ creased yield will more than offset this loss. .

The lauds were^elected within sixty days after the ragsage of the law as the statute provided, and were withdrawn from sale.. For some reason the improvements were not made, the lauds not being a temptation to contracttors. The action of the board places the lands in the hands of tbe commissioner of the State land office, who will restore them to market. The Legislature of 1898, which author­ ized tbe loan of $500,000 for Spanish wn? purposes, provided for a tax to create a sinking fund with which to pay these bonds. Finding that there was $238,000 already in this fund, the Legislature at this year’s special session authorized the State fund commissioners to advertise to redeem these bomb before due if pur­ chasers desired their money. The first purchase was made the other day. the commissioners canceling $20,100 of 3 per cents and $30,200 of 3Hi per cents, which were secured nt a price which made a saving for the State.

Germany has receded from the proposals which threatened to break the European concert. France has submitted plans. Indorsed by Russia, which may aid materially in reaching an agreement sat­ isfactory to the powers. The United States has practically agreed to Ger­ many's modified views. The German and American notes deal almost entirely with the question as to how nnd by whom the punishment of guilty Chinene officials shall be inflicted. The French proposals cover the entire range of settlement and ‘ are likely tff be acceptable to all the powera.- Whether they are acceptable to China, however, remains to lie seen. The punishment of guilty officials, many ot z them princes of the realm, will be n diffi­ cult task for the Chinese government to undertake, and may bring on a revolu­ tion which would tax the resources of the power* to deni with. The indemnity de­ manded by the several powers is likely to be so enormous that China will be un­ able to pay without the loss of territory, while the razing of the Taku forts will l»e a severe strain ou Chinese nntiuiinl pride. The powers may hajre agreed between themselves as to the methods to bo adopt­ ed in negotiating a final settlement, but the day of settlement is evidently far off.

Chicago—Speculative dealings iu grata and provisions were not particularly ac­ tive during the week, but price* were ia the main firm. All the chief speculative commodities at tbe close uf Saturday’s session showed more or less impruvemetit as compared with values at tbe end of tbe previous week. In corn, pork and rib* for delivery during October there are peculiar existing condition* connect­ ed with their speculative, position which threaten harm to those who have sold them short- Each of tbe specified com­ modities is iit small supply with no pres­ ent prospect of say material addltioa during the current mouth. As they ate also in few hands, with considerably more sold for delivery -than can be sup­ plied from present stocks, the immediate outlook for shorts Is not favorable. Spec­ ulators In wheat are os much divided over the question of the amount of this year’s domestic crop ns they have bees ever' since the beginning of the harvest. Receipts to date have been on a heavy enough scale to suggest a larger total of available wheat than the bulls are willing to admit as possible in a season of se much acknowledged damage to both win­ ter and spring wheat in some of tbe more Important sections of their growth. Fee* ‘pie wbn still lool^for higher .prices be­ cause of that damage are buoyvd up by the expectation that before long receipts will drop to a point so small that con­ viction of the deficiency of the year’* production will be' forced upon the most olxtarnte of the pruoent disbelievers in any substantia! shortage, as compared with the proflurtion of the year preced­ ing. Considerable reduction this week in the rate of fanners’ deliveries, com­ pared with those at the similar period of the previous season, gave oome color to the claim that the proof of the defi­ ciency of this year’s crop had uow begun. But those bolding the contrary opinio* of th« size of the crop claim the fulling off. this week to be due to temporary conditions of tbe weather and necessary work upon the farms; they refuse t« abandon their previous opinions just be­ cause of a few day* lew* liberal receipts for which so ready an explanation can be offered.

Only recently has It been realised, however,- that many cases of rheumatism which give rise to heart complications really run so mild a course that they are not sus­ pected of being serious and are neg­ lected. This is especially true in cases ^hlcb^attack the very young. In chil­ dren rheumatism often masquerades under the name of "growing pains.” In Infants k often falls completely df rec* ognltion. ’ It has become the custom to a la­ mentable degree to give for It the coal­ tar derivatives, the various anti-pyretic drugs—antlpyrfne. phenaceflue and the like—besides various derivatives of salicylic acid.

Moral Suasion on a Dog. A clergyman whq went up Into the country to preach, and lived there a considerable time, had occasion In his ministrations to drive regularly over a certain, road. ,At a-.house on that road lived a big bulldog which always ci.tne , out and attacked hlui.viciously. The minister stood this for a good while, un­ til. finally, as he drove past one winter night lu a low sleigh, a means of cor­ recting the dog by moral stuition oc­ curred to him. He stopped his hur-^f’ In the road before the bouse. The dug rushed out madly, barking uud threat­ ening to Jump into the sleigh. The min­ ister sat hi his sleigh and paid no atten­ tion. The dog retired, returned to the assault, retired again, and a third time rushed out to the attack, but did not touch the man. Then he returned to the doorstep and laid down, apparently utterly crestfallen and disgusted with such a man: and. ns he paid no further attention, the minister drove- off. After this the minister drove many times past the house, but the dog paid no attention to him, and never seemed to sec him at all. He was cured. A Coffee Barometer. It is cliflked that the “coffee” fore­ cast is a rvbublo wfijTof determining what the weather is going to be. In order to tell what the weather will be you must drop carefully Into your morning cup of coffee, prepared with a little milk, two lumps of sugar. Do not stir the coffee. If the bubbles as­ cend rapidly, separate quickly and fly to the side of the cup. there will be much rain within the next twenty-four hours. If they gather slowly and grav­ itate in a cluster to the side only possi­ ble showers may be expected. But if they remain placidl.v in the cente*' of the cup you may wear your best hat and leave your umbrella at home wheu yen take your walks abroad. Cars Heated by Hot Air. A new type of electric heater for ropms and- street cars consists cf a combination of an electric fan In a bell­ shaped case with porcelain cylinders wrappetl with German silver wire. The cylinders are heated nearly redhot b.v means of electric current in the wire, and the fan blows a current of air over them, warming It as It passes, and thus aecompllhhes ventilation and heating at the same time. The supply of air may easily be taken from out of doors, so that such an apparatus win supply cloan, warm air to an apartment, and may thus replace the furnace register or steam radiator. Married to a Flower Vane. A correspondent writing from Shangh^j says that a young Chinese lady there has recently been marriwl to a red flower vase, the vase being a sul>st-Nute fof the son of a wealthy man­ dagin to whoip she had been engaged.

IT SAVED A LEG. I have used Dr. C. D. W arner’s /Com­ pound ol Seven Cures with such good re­ sult* that 1 recommended It to Goo. Chipp, who was taken with typhoid fever about two years ago. The disease settled in one uf legs, causing enlargement of tbe eujire limb, which rwulted in a fever-ranning sore, rendering the leg entirely use­ lens. The doctors tried to cure it, bujhnd no success, and they advised him that bis leg would have to be amputated. Than I urged him to give the Seven Cures a fair trial and accordingly lie commenced taking it, and continued to use it for six months.

Frank Me Derby STOVES It pays to take time to examine the stoves you.buy: there is a difference in the way they are built, in the heft aud quality of material used, "the closely and carefully built are fuel savers and easily controlled. The heavier aud better quality are more durable. My 25 years experience has gone into the selection of good stoves. You may not always be able at first to see the full difference in the different stoves examined, but years of use of them has proven some to be much better I ban others. We have them for wood, soft coal and hard coal and of kinds whiqh have proven themselves, for years, the best of their kind. C. L.

The first two grand divisions include all those portl**n* whose minds are already made up so that nothing can change them. In the first of these divisions be put* those men who by birth, education and choice are so firmly allied to either tbe Republican or Democratic party that n6 argu­ ment la strong enough to move them. In the second division are grouped all the varied classes who are as firmly at­ tached to some one of the many, parties of one idea as the members of the first division are to the organization to which they give allegiance. This division, he says, includes the radical Socialists and Populists. There remain two gen­ eral divisions into which the remaining voters may be divid­ ed. One of them includes the Democrat*, who do not like Bryan or the present policy of his party. The other is made up of anti-imperialist Republicans. To these four classes • Richard Croker would add as a distinct division the first voters, who are estimated > to number this year nearly 1,200,000 >nd in whose hand* Mr. Croker believes lies the decision of the election. HOW BANNERS ARE MADE. Every available artist has been em­ ployed In jminting portraits of the presi­ dential and other candidates on the eatnipalgn banners, say* a Chicago paper. These campaign artists work in three 'shifts and turn out completed banner* at a rate which makes the price, ranging from $60 to $600. seem extravagant. The ■first division of artists works from pho­ tograph*. They make an enlarged copy of the feature* of the subject and then cut out a stencil for the use of the second brigade. The men who handle tbe stenct‘s are not required to have much artis­ tic skill. After using the Atencjl on the canvas they roughly fill In the outline* of the face and also “rough In" the hair, v cheek* and clothing. The third division of artists then take* bold and finishes up the work. They must be really skillful portrait artists, for oa their labors depend fainting a pout-bait bannkk. the success of the portraits on the banner. Tbe cheapest kind of campaign banners ore the transparencies; next in price come the banners displayed on net. with two portraits, one for each side. Most costly of all are those which bear portraits painted on silk and mounted on heavy silk or .plush velvet. Picked Up oz> Battle T. V.

As ■ a rule, the,blister beetles appear dur­ ing the latter half of July aud bwome numerous during August and Septem­ ber, devouring the leaves nnd doing great damage. When tbe danger of real injury becomes apparent, there is • usually little difficulty in ridding the plants by a spray of parts green*and lime, applied at the rate of one pound of the poison to 175 gallons of water. Often the beetles will keep coming In from t,he outside, and when tbe first spray has lost Its effect from rain or other cause It may be necessary to re­ peat the treatment ' Boots of nil kinds are best preserved in pits made In this way.

The work of harvesting tbe Swedish turnips may be done much more easily by running a plow along at the side of tbe row, turning the soil away-from the roots. While some varieties root very deeply, there are others which do not need this assistance. Even the car­ rot and parsnip may also by taken up much more easily, but It needs one to throw them out behind the team If they nre so closely planted as not to give space enough' for the horse to walk be­ tween the rows. Where they nre In double rows between two.rows of cel­ ery, or have been. In alternate rows with onions, as some grow them, they can be reached even without throwing the roots out of the way.

English millers say that they obliged to mix large quantities of Iniported wheat with the home-grown wheat to obtain a sample of flour that will rank as first class and command a good price. They my that the quality o^the English wheat has degenerated for milling purposes, nnd charge that this is lu part the result of a lack of rare In selecting seed. There Is no doubt that Inferior seed. small or shrunken, will result In a poorer grain, especially If the practice is continued. The large, plump grain Is tbe cheapest seed to use. A change of seed from one locality to another may have some effect In Im­ proving It. nnd experiments In regard to cross fertilization are In progress, which are hoped will unite the good qualities of some of the most hardy, prolific and best milling varieties. Some of them have been very successful thus In reeding down a lawn in the fall winter wheat may be sown with the grass seed, and it will not only prevent the soil from washing, but give the ground a beautiful fresh greeu sward early in the spring, which may be kept clipped, but will remain until the grass is well grown among It. The wheat will keep down tbe weeds, and the change from the green of the wheat to that of the grass will be so gradual as to be scarcely noticeable.

The average wages had been advanced to 81.28 per day. When the' factories were inspected in 1898 only 8 per eent'were found idle. During the year 273 new factories were put in operation, employing 6,210 peo­ ple. All the factories were running nearly to their full capacity. They were averaging -more than 10 hours each day, and their daily wages had increased to 81.37 per day. The year 1899 was a prosperous one for Michigan manufacture.**. Only 6 per cent of all tbe factories in the state were idle and more new factories were built and put in operation than in any year in the history of the state, there being 314 new institution* found by the inspectors that were employ­ ing 7,850 persons. >DB. More factories were found cunning day and night than ever before. • The average wage* paid-was 81.39 per day. ' , T8e inspection for the current year 11900) is not yet completed. Thu* far it show* less than 5 per cent of all the factories idle, and 184 new ones have been inspected which are employing 3,903 persons. All are running near­ ly to their full capacity, many having more employes than was originally intended. Th*» wages trill average about 81.41 per day. ’ Thus it will be seen that the official record* show that 1,005 factories have been established and put in operation in Michigan since January 1, 1897. Thev are running on full lime and are employing 23,763 wage earners. Com­ puted bn u basis of 81.40 per day, which is less than the average wages paid factory employe* in Michigan at the present time, their pay-rolls will aggregate over 833,000 per day: about 8200,000 each week: nearly 8865,000 eVcry month and for a yean of 313 working days will reach the enormous Bum uf 810,412,966. Thi* is only for the new factories established since January 1, 1897. The employes at work in Miehigan factories for the coming year will aggregate nearly, or quite, 175,000 persons. Applicants for work ^re seldom turned away. A canvas* was also made of 525 re­ tail merchants of the state, care being taken to take representative men from cities and villages in every section of the state, regardless of party affilia­ tions. These merchants represent five leading Hoes of trade, viz: Dry goods, clothing, boot* and shoes, groceries and hardware. There were 105 can­ vassed in each line, the inquiries be­ ing in regard to safes and the outlook for trade. Of the entire 525 canvased, 267, or afl per cent, say that tbeir sales average over 15 per cent mure than in 1899, while 225 or 44 per cent say their sales remain about the same, they not­ ing no change- Only three of the en­ tire number say their sales have de­ creased. Regarding the outlook for future trade, 239, or 46 per cent say the out­ look Is good: 228, or 43 per cent, say it is fair, while only 58, or 11 per cent report the outlook as poor. In most places where u poor outlook for trade is reported the cause assigned is a local one like the removal of a mill or factory, or the failure of some special •rop. _ The influence of such prosperous conditions extends to the producer by enlarging his market^ &nd giving him a class of customers able U> pay for what they want. There can be no prosperity on the farm or in the factory which does not affect both. Neither can there be depression and stagna­ tion in one without affecting the other injuriously. There is an interdepen­ dence between all classes of people that cannot be ignored because al- CASTOR IA For Infuiu *nd Children. Tbi KM Yw Hm Alsip BtqM lb . C.

" A Minister’s Wife.” writing on “Criticising the Clothes of the Minlatera Family," tn tbe Ladles’ Home Journal, asks “Why the clothing of tiie minister’s wife Is of more puhlk' con­ sequence than that of the doctor's fam­ ily? Everybody helps to support the doctor as well as tbe minister," she contends, "so It scarcely seems possible tliat it can be because the parishioners feel that the appearance of poverty on bls part,reflects upon their generosity. Some one says that It is because* the minister and bls family seem to be a part of each household In the church so dear and dose Is the rclcatlonsblp. Surely then-the very closeness of the tie Is but another reason why th.ere should an absence of criticism, and avoidance of hurt on the part of tbe congregation... Cannot tbe minister’s wife lie trusted to make tbe very best possible appearance that her busband’s salary will permit her to make? When a woman Is expected to mingle on terms of equality with the wealthy as well as the humble she naturally does not want, for her busband's sake as well as her own, to be noticeably badly dressed, any more than she wishes to bring upon herself the charge of ex­ travagance. What she really desires, more than anything else, Is to manage so well that she is able to pass un­ noticed. so far as her clot-lies are con­ cerned.” Romance Versus Kicks. She whom I adore Is the wife of a fat marquis’-a' lop-eared, blear-eyed, greasy marquis. A man without soul. A mau without sentiment, who cares naught for moonlight and music. A low, practical man, who pays his debts. I hate'hlm. That very morning at breakfast, he had cursed the fishballs and sneered at the pickled onions. She is a good cook. The neighbors will tell you so. And to be told by the base marquis—a man, who, previous to his marriage, had lived at the cheap eating-houses—to be told by him that her manner of frying fishballs was a failure—It was too much. Her tears fell fast. I, too. wept. I mixed my sobs with her’n. "Fly with me!” I cried. Ere she could reply—ere she could ar­ ticulate her ecstasy, her husband, tbe marquis, crept snakelike upon me. Shall I write It? He-kicked me out of the garden—be kicked mo into the street I did nofreturn. How could I? I, so etherlal, so full of soul, of sentiment of sparkling originality! He, so gross, so practical? so lop-eared. Had I returned, tiie creature would have kicked me again.—Boston Jour­ nal Fortunate. Miners returning from Alaska dig­ gings tell all kind of tales about luck, but pretty well agree that tbe man who succeeds in the one wbo-does not real ize tfiite risk he Is running, takes every desperate chance. The men who are scientific and calculating do not find tbe best claims. A stout constitution, enough money to buy food for six months, and a disposition to look for gold anywhere, seem to be the elements needed for success. Biit not all good luck stories have pleasant endings. One man dropped dead when at tbe end of the first clean-up he found himself a rich man. He bad a weak heart and success killed him. One of the great­ est .pieces of luck at Nome City Is that of a boy of nineteen, who came there as a stowaway, was kicked on shore, and In two months was worth one hun­ dred thousand dollars.

Reports from a certain class of weath­ er observers are not obtainable yet. These are the squirrels, which are said to lay in an unusual store of nuts when a heavy winter is coming on. As these reports come, in from country districts pretty nearly every autumn, there bar been a loss of confidence in the luiuirrtf as a weather observer.

This makes the ex­ tension of the drain verv uncertain. Every effort has been made to have it carried to Thornapple lake^J The village of Lake Odessa got out of a bad scrape last week. A Mrs. Koch had fallen on a crosswalk some time ago and badly injured her knee. She sued the village for So,000 dam­ ages, but last week it was settled for •250, the council figuring that it was cheaper to do this than to pay attor­ neys and run the risk of being beaten in'the end. Mrs. Emma Wealty of New Phi I a— delpljia. Ohio, a sister of Mrs. H. G. Hale of this village, died at Colorado Springs, Thursday, November 1st. of consumption, after an illness of three months. Mr s. Hale was with her sinter when she died, and brought the .re­ mains to Greenville, this state, their old home, where the funeral was held on Sunday afternoon last. About sixty of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Tluuarsh called upon them at their home north of town,« Saturday evening, aud gave them a jolly farewell surprise, prior to their moving to their new home in the vil­ lage. Tile house was tilled with a good time all the evening, and all who were preseut enjoyed themselves to the utmost. Mr. and Mrs. Tilmarsh are moving into the house on Cleve­ land street recently vacated by Fred Wing’s family. Nashville IJtve, L. O.T.M., enjoyed a complete surprise last Friday even­ ing in the way of delightful refresh­ ments served by three of its members, ladies Keyes, Bowen and Forest. The ladies of this order, are justly <>roud of the uobh organization, there being over fifty thousand lady Maccabees in Michigan alone. Nashville Hive­ wishes to say to the ladies of Nash­ ville and vicinity that if they Irish to combine fraternity and insurance they can du no better than to join the L. Many of the victims of the defunct Ionia A Barry Farmer’s Mutual In­ surance* Company met in Charlotte last week Tuesday to talk Ute matter over and decide whether to make a right or pay the assessments. The opinion of those present was that it would nut be advisable to resist pay­ ment. They swore considerable, how­ ever, for being compelled to*pay for a “dead horse. and then went home and prayed that the time would soon come when assessments of this com­ pany, long since dead so far as doing business is concerned, would cease to be levied. James F. Ives, a fanner living in Irving township north of the village got into a quarrel with Robert Reed, who works Ives’ farm. It seems that they had hud some words over their settlement and Ives threatened todoup Reed in regular “Rocky Mountain style.” Monday night when Reed came into the. house from tile burn the two men got into a fight when Ives pulled out a 32-calibre revolver and shot Reed through the neck. Even after the shot was fired the melee went on until a neighbor parted the combat­ ants. Although Ives had done the shooting he went to Middleville and swore out a warrant against Reed for assault and buttery. He did not ap­ pear to realize that he was the man to be arrested instead of bis adver«kry. However, tfie sheriff was notified of the shooting Tuesday and he and Prosecutor Thomas went out to the scene. Ives was arrested on Uiccharge of assault with intent to commit mur­ der aud brought to jail.

Early In her career a* superintendent she beouue convinced, as she herself expressta IL that “among all children. Indians and whites alike, the shortest road to the brain Is through the hand." In a perfunctory way manual training had been In o]»eration before Miss Reel recelved her appoiutmenL but since then It ha* received close attention and the results have been gratifying In the extreme. In the early days of the re­ public most Indian teachers sought to lift the aboriginal jnlnd to the plane uf Christian enlightenment by means of texts and sermons, catechisms and in­ junctions. and too commonly their ef­ forts ended in the sad realisation that the seed was sown on stony groundr Half a century ago some teachers be­ gan to realise that the chief .need of the Indian is for practical education Involv­ ing mauual training and actual Intro­ duction into the arts and industries of their Caucasian neighbor*, and the ef­ fort- of those teachers who adopted thia plan were always more or less fruitful. It Ua* not until the,pdvent of MIm Reel that the system was given a really fair trial. The result has been so satisfactory that doubtless the work will tie still further developed in fu­ ture. Observers of educational prog­ ress are impressed with the increasing­ ly practical character of Instruction in our own schools; the kindergarten ba* passed Um.i'xperimental stage and be­ come an'important Educational factor; manual training has been substituted for the dreary grind of won! drill, to the immeasurable benefit of pupils, and nature teaching Is rapidly replacing the busks of dead knowledge In everj' uni­ versity and In all the better normal schools and high schools, as well as in many of the primary schools through­ out the country.

Considerable <Hssatiitfnction is felt In Waabingtoii over Che delay in beginning the peace conference, and it is probable that Minister Couger will be made to understand that the failure to open up the negotiations ia very dis­ pleasing to the Washington authorities. The official advices received in Wash­ ington concerning events in Pekin indi­ cate that the foreign ministers arc more deeply engrossed in arranging a compre­ hensive punitive program than they are in removing the menace to the peace of the world which lies in the postponement of the negotiations with the CMncse planipotratiarie*. It Is the opinion of the very hagbest officials of the government that, unless the ministers enter soon into formal conference with Li-Hung-Chang and Prince Obing, China willabecome in­ volved in the throes of anarchy.

BOERS FULL OF FIGHT. The military situation in South Africa is as bad as can l>c imagined from the British point of view. The Boers have effected an unoroken series of considera­ ble successes in every corner of the thea­ ter of war, nnd gravest of all is the evi­ dence of their ability to isolate Cape Col­ ony from die north. An attempt to send British re-enforcements from Bloemfon­ tein to strengthen the lines of communi­ cation ir» the southern part of the Orange RI'A-r colony has failed. There has been persfirtent sniping as far south as the Frewrburg road.

Fur half an hour the rain fell in torrents, and within a short’ while the streets were impassable. The rainfall iu Nnuanu valley, about two mites from Honolulu, was 8.15 inches, and it varied slightly near the city. The Nuuanu scream was soon swollen beyond its boundaries, nnd came sweeping down with increasing speed. It broke its banks end washed every movable object away.

Human bodies were seen to fly upward and then turn and dceccnd into the furnace-like bole In tbe roof. ‘ All accounts agree that the force of the detonations, especially of the first one.' which hurled the roof of the drug ho-ise high in the air, was terrific, enough to warrant the assumption that some pow­ erful explosive must have caused the damage.

Heavy plate-gloss win­ dows in that thoroughfare were shutter­ ed, people were burled against the walls of buildings and the street was strewn with debris. In the Irving National Bank, opposite the Tarrant Building, the aback of the second explosion was greet enough to throw all of the clerks and officials to the floor. Thinking that their own building was about to fall, they rush­ ed out In a mass, several being hurt In the crush. Before they left, however, the employes of the bank seized th* bank's cash and threw it into the vault, which was then securely locked.

Simmons, wife of tbe jailer of the Sedgwick County, Kan., jail, was warned in a dream that an attempt would be made by the prisoners to force the grating and escape. She awakened her husband and insisted that he should go and ascertain If all was well with their charges.

The coat of making a pound of butte? has been steadily decreased by means of thr Improved creamery, and it fa pos­ sible for creameries to make and sell butter at a profit when farmers cannot. Country butter does not sell well in tbe large markets. Creamery seems to have a charmed name tor consumers, nnd they demand this every time. Country butter to-day fa a drug in many markets-as low as 8 and 10 cents per pound. The farmer making hfa butter cannot make a living at any such prices. Tbe day of the country butter has gone, and the farmers of any dairying region should recognise this and not waste their time In making It. The milk should either be raised tor a creamery, or tbe farmers should Join together and ran their own creamery. As a rule, the man who will put up tbe creamery and run It hlms<-lf will do better than an association of farmers where too many head* are apt to cause disputes and bickerings. Milk sent to the creamery pays all the way from 12 to 22 cents a pound, and at thi* price tbe farmer is Aiaklug far more than by making bis own butter. This comparatively high price fa made possible becau.se of tbe better prices received tor creamery, and tor the low cost of maaufact.rrlng It. This latter varies because tbe size of the creameries vary. The larger the creamery the cheaper the buttvy ran be made, and this varies all the way from 1 cent a bound to 7 cents.

Perhaps .there will not be as many men willing to work for their hoard or tor very low wages in winter, but there will be some, and some good men, too, who will .prefer to do mi than to remain idle. They have no other trade bht farming, and perhaps are too old to begin anew now, and they wouk’ like to cam ax least iheir living.

Nearly 150,000 Men Take Up Their Striking coal miners to the number of almost 150,000 resumed work in the Hazkjton. Pa., district Monday morning. The miner** demands have been conceded by ahno«t all the operator*. Tbe owners of a tow small mines still hold out, but with the»e exception* the resumption fa general through tbe anthracite region. During the great labor battle now clos­ ed, there ha* not been a break in the men’s line*, and up to the time their mod­ ified demnnih were granted, they were constantly adding to their *trength. There ha* been little destitution among the Idl* miners, though vast sums in wage* have been lost, and there ha* been very litth violence. The week’s developments In CTrfna do not encourage the belief that tbe Chines* Imperial government is ready to listen to the demand* of the powers ana to con­ sent to a final treaty of peace. It fa true that negotiation* of a cursory sort are proceeding at Pekin l*twi*en the reai­ dent minister* representing the powers on the one side and Earl Ll-Hung-Chang and Prince Ching on the other. Earl IJ has. a.* reported last week, advanced five tentative proposal* as a basis for nego­ tiation. Tliese proposals have been sum­ marily rejected ami counter proposals ad­ vanced by Germany and France demand­ ing the heads of Prince Tuatt and six other prominent Chinese statesmen as an evidence that China has entered upon the negtAiatk.n* in good faith. Obvious­ ly, China will reject this proposal. It is asking much when the power* demand tbe execution of seven of die highest im­ perial dignitaries of the Chinese Empire. In the meantime there ar* many indica­ tion* that the C.binrac imperial govern ment i* actively preparing tor u serfaus military campaign. Large bodies of troops are roiMinuidly marching iu the direction of Sfaq-Fu. tbe new imperial capital. Immense stores of arm*. ammu­ nition. money and food are constantly being forwarded. Earl Li and Prince Ching persistently refuse to produce their credentials, and there ia uo evidence to prove that the Chinese imperial govern­ ment fa sincere iu the so-calied negotia­ tions tor peace. On the other hand, there is room tor tit* lively suspicion that China i* preparing to eventually reject all demands of the power* tor hidrmnity tor recent outrage* and to defy the na­ tion* of Europe to du their worst* When thfa attitude is finally taken, n* taken it will tie. in tlw- judgment of inrfny who hare followed the course of event* in the native of trading an army into the in­ terior to enforce a compliance with th<dr demands, or of paying 1 brawl v<*» by the seizure of port* and territory.

Under the administration of tbe tax ’laws of the State by tbe tax commission there have Iweri added to the assessed valuation about $375,000,000. About $3(ii).000.000 of this amount was placed on the rolls by the supervisors them­ selves. and about $75,000,000 was added by the State tax commission when the rolls were reviewed by the members of that body. Recently some of tip* assess­ ing officer* of the State have refused to use the valuations fixed by the tax com­ mission ns a basis tor levying the State and county taxes, basing their refusal on section 39 of the general tax law. which provide* that the valuations fixed by the Board of Review shall be taken a* the basis for the tax.

When Captain Howard reached the shore where his boat was, he found a ■eeond bo*t -there. in which there were four men, the fifth*-one of her mta being upon the beach. This latter man How­ ard recognised as a sergeant of one of the companies stationed nt Matamoras, wfeoar-uame was Beecher. “Come," cried the Captain, “let us go on the schooner's deck. Supper was ready, and the captain invited Beecher to his cabin, while tbe other mon, who were private*, went forward with the the malntopsail was well cut ap. "By the mas*, boy*!" cried Howard, as ho saw this, "she's our*, and uo mistake. Hat there goes her fore yard—and around she goes into the wind! Be ready with that starboard broadside. In with the grape-let her come.” Howard bode his gunner to fire as. qufckly as possible, and he did bo; and al­ most at tbe same moment tbe brig did the same thing. There was a crashing round on board the ichooner, for a rodnd shot had struck the starboard'cathead, ■nd bad knocked it to splinters. And there was a deep groan, too—for a tuu lay upon the forecastle weltering in his blood, and dying. The men gazed upoa you briar from Mai while one of his comrades' held his head “The colonel sent me up, sir,” returned UPthe sergeant, “to inform you that that “Never mind -me,” the noble fellow notorious Mexican pirate was in our wat- cried. “1 know you will avenge my death. •’Ha!" uttered Howard, droppins knife, “do you mean Tudel F’ Orleans to bring us stores. hi* There is provisions and clothing for our fort* on tbe Rio Grande, and we have feared that tbe pirate may overhaul her.

But mind you—he Is not a privateer—not by any mean*; be is a pirate ot the blackest dye.” “I know him," returned the captain, "and I have had my attention turned Io him more than once before. I'll hunt him up if possible, yon may be assured.’’ On the following morning all hands were called a* soon as the day broke, and having informed them of the purpose he had in hnnd, the captain ordered the anchors up and sail made. The wind waa moderate from the southward, and How­ ard laid his course to the eastward, in­ tending for a while to keep the track of Thus be stood, on until near night, and just aa the sun was going down, a sail was discovered, which at length proved to be a brig standing in toward the coast. Howard found her to be the store brig which was expected at Matamoras. Then Howard squared away and stood on. During the' night a strict watch was kept up, but nothing was seen. On the next morning, however, just as the men were gettiug up from their breakfast, tbe lookout at the torctopmast crow-tree re­ ported a aail right ahead. In half an hour more it was made out to be a brig standing to tbe southward. All sail was put upon the schooner, and at the end a vesrei of war of some description, as her porta could be plainly aven. "8he'« a Mexican. There's no mistake about that," said Lofton, who bad been examining tbe stranger through hi* glass. "And if shre's a Mexican, she must be tbe pirate,” added Howard. The schooner was kept on, and in fif­ teen minute* more the brig wore about and stood directly for her. The gun* of the schooner were masked by sliding ports, though they were all ready to run out nt a moment’s notire. “She don’t take. I guess/' remarked: Lofton, as be noticed the movement of the Mexican. “But she hope* to take us, without doubt,” returned Howard, with a smile. "However, let her work awhile: we’U be cided movement." Tbe schooner was now standing due east, and the brig was nearly abreast of her. Thus matter* rested for half an hour more, and then the brig was not over a mile distant. She hoisted the Mex­ ican flag and fired a gun. "Isn't that rather cool?”'MM'Hart. “Rather." returned Howard. "But if be knew who he'd fallen afoul of I'm thinking he’d feel not quite so cool. He take* us for one of the small transports on our way home. Mr. French, you may open tbe armchest and distribute the am­ munition. and then open the magazine. Mr. Lofton. have all hands called, and prepare for action." The captain took bis glass and exam­ ined the brig once more; and a* he turn­ eager, gratified expression. -It is Tudel'* vewel!” he said. “Mind you—there’s no mistake about thia. And if he’s not our's before the sun sets, then “Content, he would have said,” shouted the boatswain, as ba let the dead man's head back upon the deck, and then start­ ed to hi* feet. “Lay us alongside the villain now, air. Lay m> alongside, cap’u, and we'll make quick work of tbe blood' thirsty dog*!’’ “Shall we carry him by tbe board?” the captain asked, In quick, thrilling tone*. Ohe simultaneous “yes” from tbe lips of the crew burst upon the air, and on bringing the schooner to the wind. The brig now lay atern-to, and consequently could bring no guns to hear as tbe Yan­ kees came up. Howard brought bis'vessel handsomely up under the pirate’s quarter. and the grnplings were thrown with such exact precision that the schoon­ er’s bows were stopped directly beneath the brig'* main chains. Ft was but the work of a moment for the schooner’s crew to gain the deck of of the brig, and when once there they went into the work with a power of pur­ pose which was irresistible. Tbe Mex­ icans were bold men. but they could not withstand the strange, reckless bravery which met them now. The noble men of the Lone Star seemed almost like war rlors inspired^ Wherever their blows fell death was sure to follow, and ere long From the first nf the engagement How­ ard tried to find Jilok Tudel. rod he suc­ ceeded at length iu doing so; but ere they could cross their swords, some of the Mexicans cried out for quarter. “Never!” shouted Tudel. in blind rage. "Fight to the death, every man of you. By the cross, tbe first man who flinches shall, fall by my own hand! Now, senor Capitan, you have found me." This had the effect of causing the faint­ ing pirates to come up to tbe work again. As Tudel spoke that )a*t sentence, he crossed swords with Clarence Howard; the pistols had al! been fired, and the combat now was with cutlasses alone. At the first stroke Clarence knocked his an­ tagonist's sword down, and would have passed hi« own weapon through the vil­ lain's body, had not one of the Mexican men. who chanced to stand near, knock­ ed it down That moment would have bm the young captain's last but for the faithful Peter. The boy’s burning pat­ riotism overcame nil other considerations and seizing a, pistol and cutlass, be leaped upon the pirate’s deck just In time to sec his commander’s sword knocked down and of the point of the enemy’s sword at his breast With a lightning-like motion, the boy raised his pistol and shot tbe Mexican dead. Howard, with a nod of gratitude to his boy, returned to the con­ flict. Tudel hud regained bin guard, and hi* next blow was a downward cut, aim­ ing at hl* antagonist's head. Quick as thought Clarence sprang forward and caught the coming blow upon his left arm, reaching far enough in to take the hilt upon his arm instead of the blade. The movement was us unexnected as it was sudden, for the Mexican had never l»eforc thought of such a thing ns warding a sword blow with the naked arm; the force of the blow staggered him, and with one smart blow of his pommel, Clar­ ence felled him upon the deck. This was the signal for a renewed cry for quarter, and at the word from the .Yankee captain, tbe combat ceased. Tu­ del had only been stunned by tbe effect* of the blow, and as soon as be could be secured, Howard turned his attention to the crew; the deck was all covered with blood, nnd the groan* of tbe wounded and dying were loud and agonizing; ‘Take them as they come,” amid How­ ard. 'To those who suffer moat, whether friend or foe, render the first assistance; the battle is ended, ^uhd we may find use er.

FEARED THE SILENT VOTER. Moreover, party workers whose func­ tion was to ascertain the sentiments of voters, to make canvasses aud polls for the guidance of managers aud in general obtain information that would be valua­ ble in determining what the official count of tbe ballots would show met more diffi­ culties and obstacles io the performance of their work than ever before In the his­ tory of modern American polities. The on. feature of the campaign which impressed every politician, every cone■pondent and every unprofessional ob­ server who had occasion to travel much was the seeming tranquillity of the voter*. PoHtlcnl activity, as it was understood in 1896 or in any of tbe< stirring presi­ dential campaigns previous to that year, seemed lacking to such an extent as to bewilder the experts, who were relying on surface event* to furnish them with indications of what would happen on elec­ tion day. The percentage of voters who declined to state who was their choice for Presi­ dent waa so large this year as to estab­ lish a new record. There were almost countless thousands of them in the mid­ dle West and Eastern States. Not only did they refuse to state how they were going to vote, but they refrained‘from all participation In the work of the cam­ paign. They eschewed the political par rade, remained away from the political mass meeting, exhibited an unnatural in­ difference for distinguished candidates and ignored the proximity of spellbinder*. They refuwrd to express enthusiasm or sympathize with the artificial enthusiasm of politicians. M. Lenoir, the inventor of the auto* mobile, recently died in France in a state of poverty.

The potato Crop of the United States, according to tbe American Agriculturist, approximates 239.000.000 bushels, or nearly 5,000,000 bushels less than last year, and a fairly good yield, compared with the average of the last ten years. Extremes in climatic conditions were re­ sponsible for holding the crop within bounds. The total area under the crop la placed by this authority at 2,8!>7,WX> acres, with an average yield of 83 bush­ els an acre, against 82 bushels in 181*0, 73 bushels in 1808, and only 04 in 1897, David S.

The Barryvilte correspondent wants to know why it is that the Stony Point people are disgusted at having to go to Morgan to vote. We bate to think there is any one that don’t know, so we’re only too glad to inform him. They ask “if it was because there was no baa whiskev in Morgan!"

One lady, who had driven over there from near Coats Grove, was in the store at the time and went out and sal in the buggy until iter husband got a chance to vote, and then went home without having a chance to get warm. Then Morgan is too much to one side. If this precinct has got to have a voting place outside of Nashville, why not make it somewhere near the cen­ ter! As the accommodations at Morgan are no belter than any school bouse or good barn, why go out of our way to get there.

We do not Ike the Idea of growing two crops of potatoes on the same land for two years in succession, but there are many other crops which would follow well after the rye was plowed In, and nearly all crops ran Im taken off Iu time to sow rye after them, which will-be large enough to plow under in tbe spring. But do not trust to tbe rye alone as a fertilizer, but use it as an addition to the other fertilizer applied. The illustration shows an effective way of securely anchoring tbe end post of n wire fence. Tbe post (a) should be get at least three feet In tbe ground and four is much better. The cross pieces (11) are 2x8 Inch boards, 24 inches long. The stone (e) Is firmly buried and should just about fit tbe hole. Tbe port <b> Is about six feet from (a), and through the bole (f) the cable from the burtrd atone la pasia-d. The brace (c) is a 2x6 board securely spiked In place.

This Is more particularly true in what an* known as the agricul­ tural State* than In those where large manufacturing industries have been established In or near the cities.’ And even Id the latter case there seems to be a tendency for many of the employee to tack a residence In the suburbs or some small town near by. where they are retired from the noise and bustle of tbe city, and where they can have room to have fruit trees, garden and poultry yard to occupy leisure hours, or such days as they are not employed.

Bury small grain where they will find it when they dig. This will Induce them to bunt, ami while thus employed they will find bugs and worms that will quicken tbe production of eggs. It Is well to follow this plan as soon as the spade will turn the ground, for It adds vigor and strength to the bens and In­ sures strong, healthy chicks. Tbe lazy, idle ben Is of no use, but to sit about, eat. and grow fat. If she will not work, she will not lay. If she will not lay. her life should end. and her fat carcass grace tbe table.

Regular National ^oliduy It la Distinctly American. —mum HANKBGIVING as Kf Ja^ W'-’ |J M Jy'* " a regular national holiday is distinetively American. Yet there have been many festivals in the past that might serve .* ‘ its forerunner. Among the Jews ancient festival of the Tabernacle!!, or \•’ ■ / / ' to all part* of tha United States, in refrigerator car*. Each of thene car* will hold about 1,000 MM* if packed closely in barrels. *o that fit least 2,000 can are required for transporting turkeya to their destination. -If placed end to end, a line of these cars would be over twelve miles long. Figuratively, therefore, a solid phalanx of turkey twelve milea long, five feet wide and six feet high ru«he*-a!dng In search of hungry diners. Nearly as many men a* there are turkeya are re­ quired to handle this immense amount of poultry, and .the cubic contents of the ma^a is very nearly a foot to each bird, or, more accurately. 1,900,800 feet If piled together in the same proportion, these turkeys would make a column eight time# as high as the Washington monu­ ment, and a pyramid made of them would look well beside the ancient plies of Egypt. They would probably weigh up­ ward of 15,000,000 pounds. To kill a few million turkeya and ahlp them a thousand mile* to market Is no light task, and the old-fashioned methods of handling and marketing have had to give way to newer and more elaborate arrangements. The great majority of the turkeya con­ sumed by the American people arc pick­ ed up on the poultry farms by buyers who give their whole time to this work. They are gathered at the nearest station* and shipped In carload lots to the poultry factory which the buyer represents. The use of the word factory, in connection with poultry Is apt to convey a peculiar idea, but in this case it refers only to a shed-like structure, half open on the aide*. In which the birds are prepared for qiarket. The birds are stored in a big shed from which a narrow passageway, just wide enough to admit thpm in single file, lead# to the factory proper. A driver stationed among the birds keeps a steady line traveling along thia chute and prevents them from becoming wedged in by crowd­ ing. At the end of the passage, where it opens into the factory, stands a man who holds in one hand a sharp knife that looks like a diminutive ice pick. A* each bird marches through it is seized by thia man, who quickly dispatches it by a single blow on the head. He throw* the dead birds in a heap at his side, and thence they are carted away to ths scalding room. From tbe scalding tanks tbe birds travel on to another room, where deft hands and plenty of cold run­ ning water thoroughly cleanse them. Next they are laid out oe long blocks of Ice until thoroughly cooled, when they are packed with ice in barrels; the bar­ rels are covered with ordinary bagging, and as soon as weighed are ready tor shipping. this is the .

Under this treatment they will keep longer, without icing, than when they have been scalded. From the factory the dressed turkeys are shipped in refrigerator cars to their destination in thefilg citie*. Some idea of the extent of the trade in dressed poul­ try may be gained from the statement that for the eight or ten weeks of the holiday reason the receipts in New York City alone run a* high as 30,000 cases per week. Each case or barrel contains about 200 pounds, so that this means something like 6,000.000 pounds of poul­ try per week. ^When one comes to mul­ tiply this by the number of big cities, he realizes how capacious is the American man for such delicacies as^these. gathering.

Colo... in thr very place where the crime was committed. This frightful pnttfahmegX was meted out by a mob ot 300 men, who made no effort to conceal their purpose. No-at­ tempt was mode by otncial# to stop tbe awful proceedings. The sheriff surren­ dered his prisoner without offering seri­ ous resistance, after deliberately leading him to the place where it had been pub­ licly announced a vigilunct committee would await his coming. ' Porter was rctuoveil during the night from the city jail in Denver to the county jail. He was taken out shortly after noon by Sheriff Jones, placed in a closed carriage and driven rapidly, to .Magnolia, a small station east of Denver. There he was delivered to .Sheriff Freeman of Lincoln County, who waa on the train bound for Hugo. Tbe train bearing the negro, in custody of Sheriff Freeman and hi* deputies, ar­ rived in Limon nt 3:45 p. in. The cars were crowded with newspaper reporters and people Aho were curious to see the negro executed. 11. W. Frost, the mur­ dered girl’s father, was one of the pas­ senger-. When the train stopped sixteen men who had la-en selected by the vig­ ilance commitu-c entered the train and demanded the prisoner front the sheriff. Their every action wa*. marked by calm­ ness and determinatiom The sheriff yielded and tbe train was then allowed to proceed. At Lake Station, about three miles from Limon, the party left the train and iH-gsiit preparation# for the deed of vengeance. The doomed negro was chained to a railroad rail that had been set firmly in the ground, an<l altout this the fuel was placed. Porter did not seem to realize the awful punishment he was destined to undergo. While every man looked on with bated breath R. W. Frost, the dead girl’s fath­ er, set fir<* to the mass of combustible ma­ terial. und the flames commenced to crackle. Almost instantly the negro’s trousers eaught fire. Even though the flesh must have been •worrijrd. he did not [ utter >i souiiil. The fikuira rrejn sd.twly i upward <m hi* cluihing; the spark* tlew up in a < load of pale smnk<-. Porter turn­ ed hi* head, and a frightful expression changed his face. With « ntd.Ieu c/>nvulslvr tugging, he strctclMjd his head us fur from the rapidly incrraalhg flames as he could and ntlennl a cry of pain: "Oh, my God. let me go. men! I’ve got xomething more t<> tell ymt. Please let me go! Ob, my God! my Godf’ In terrible Rcreeehc* these words, the first he hud uttered nlond. came from the negro. Tugging at the <-hnin*. he gave out a sncctwslon <>t awful groans and screams. Not an oath csi*a|»cd him, but he bogged and pleaded to.lte shot. In the negro’s struggles one of the rope# binding him was broken and lie fell partially out of the fire. Some wanted to throw him over into the lire: others trtfd to dash oil upon him. Boards were carried and a large pile made over rhe prostrate body. They sism were' ignited and the terrible beat and lack of air quickly rendered the victim unconscious, bringing death a few moment* later. The war between the British and Boers in South Africa is far from being endfd. The position of the British forces there is decidedly worse than when- they first occupied Pretoria iu June. The fact that the Boer* no longer have an important fixed position to be attacked ha* left them free to indulge in the ubiquitous, roving warfare which they are prosecut­ ing with such extraordinary success. The British no longer have’any definite ob­ jective for heavy operations, and are as far as ever from acquiring equal nlmblencits with the Boers at scattered fight­ ing. The burghers are now masters of the country ifi the western Transvaal around Vryburg. They also hold all the keys to the Southern Free State, and have re­ peatedly held the main railway from Pre­ toria to Oape Town, above the Orange river. They havA recently captured tmjA und supplies, severed British cour mpnications and captured several small British garrisons. Those successes have increased the activity of all the Boer fonfes in the field. The net result is that Brttha, De Wet and Delarey an* al) a* strong ns they weiq fo,,r uinnth* ago. When supplies are short they sweep down on some village which the British hold, and which they know i* well filled, and help themselves. The Unrecondlable bitterness of the Boer women is extraordinary. It wu* the women and other neutrals that brought the Boer* right into Jncobsdal and Phillipolia, where they overpowered tbe garrison*. The struggle i« rapidly drifting into a race war, involving every­ body living in the country. When Presi­ dent Kruger sailed from Delagoa bay 1 it was immediately declared that he was a mere private harmless refugee, embnrrawdng only to the country which he vis­ ited. It is impossible to maintain that belief now. It is seriously pomdble that with Kruger now in Europe and ’ the Boers active in South Africa home power may seek to adviae England to arrange a settlement. That that advice will be re­ jected is certain, but the offering of it will continue the* Boer belief that their Utnigglc for independence is not hopeless The President will submit to Congress the claims for indemnification and for other substantial recompense of the British cable corporation which suffered as a result of the Ameriega occupation of the Philippines. The Manila and Dagupnn Railroad Company, tbe only railroad in the Philippines, has also set up a claim for compensation. Another sol of claims which will be re­ ferred arc those arising from the Reten­ tion and isolation of Japanese subjects in connection with thr. bubonic plague last aninmer in Han Francisco, and the claims of Japanese citizens for damage* sustained through tbe action of the Ha­ waiian authorities.

He found a man. whoae hammock hung near tbe spot where Tudel had been confined, standing in hi* bare frock, and gazing with eagerness on a jacket which be held "What ia it, my man?" asked Howard.

With this information it was easy to see how the work had been done. Na­ thans had received the fatal blow from a hand eminently skilled in that mode of warfare. The captain directed some of the men to remove the body to the deck. Shortly after this the gig returned, the gunner reporting that so far nothing could be found of the escaped prisoner; but the crew of the cutter hud gone on shore, and meant to search carefully there, and aha watch to see if he landed after them. "However,” resumed Gould. "I am sure the villain got ashore ahead of us; he had thr wind and current in his favor, and if he is an expert swimmer he could easily have gained tbe beach' before we did.” Tbe captain was about to reply, when the sound of otrs fell upon his ears, and upon going to the taffrail he could see the outlines of a boat coming towards the schooner. "It’s the first cutter, sir.” said Peter. "Perhaps they’ve found him,” uttered Howard, nervously. “They must have found him, else they wouldn't be coming back,” said the gun■er. "At any rate they wouldn't be coming now. for they haven’t had a chance to hunt any yet.” Clarence gaxrd dow.u_aqxiou*ly into her ds she came up under the quarter, but it was too dark for him to see plainly When the boat reached the gangway, Daniels, the coxswain, was the first one to come over the side.

It.was tote in the afternoon and Bt. Marc had just retururd from hi* ginning club, where he had been to dinner. He made' his way to a sumptuoin apartment, where everything which wealth rauld procure was spread out. He was n man about five and forty years of age; tall and pow­ erful ot frame; with a dark, swarthy face; hair black and straigbt.^like nn Indian's; eye* of a jetty hue, and fea­ tures coarse and heavy. He was not a brutal looking man, but he did look like a villain. There was the cast of the cool, calculating rascal In every line of hto fea­ tures, and the peculiar fire of his eye told of a spirit that brooked no restraint His drew was gaudy in the extreme, eereral jewels of much value flashing upon his person and fingers. He sat a Jew mo­ menta after he entered his apartment ns thongh he would thank some one to tell him what to do. Hit eye chanced to fall upon a guitar at length, and he picked it up and commenced to play one of those airs peculiar to the Mexican fandango. He played with much skill, though not with very refined taste. St. Marc wm thus engaged when some one rapped at hto door.- and he ba de them enter. It was one of his servants who came in to announce that there was a man in the hall who would like to speak with tbe hoot. "Show him in,” said Bt. Marc; and in a few t&otrents more the servant return­ ed, followed by Jilok Tudel! . “Ah, Tudel. Baek once more. I’m glad.” “Ay—back again.

They took my brig, and took me: but you see I managed to escape; and I end it just In the nick of time, too, for in another twelve hours I should have been in a Yankee prieon at Galveston.” There was a peculiar shade pawed over St. Marc's face, but Tudel did not notice it. A keen observer would have imagin­ ed from that look that the host was not excessively pleased with hto visitor's es­ cape. But whatever may have been hto feelings in that respect, tlwy were quick­ ly subdued and kept out ut night. "Bui what were the circumstances?” to know what adventures the other hpd had.

But why do you look so startled, and shake your head so? Do you think I was captured by a contemptible Yankee schooner?” Bt. Marc saw the opportunity to evade the real caiue of his emotion*, and he re­ solved to profit by it, even at the ex­ pense of touching, bis visitor upon a ten­ der apot; so he replied: “Well, Tudel—to tell the truth, it did seem to me that you might, have Iwen captured by a schooner, for yon came so nigh admitting it yourself; and then I knew that there was a schooner of that name lx>ught by the Texan government on purpose for this same—a—what did you say his name was?” "Howard.” "Ab, yes—Howard.” "Why, confound your stupidity, Bt.

She ia call­ ed Calypso thr Wanderer. Have you ever seen such a woman?" “Yes,” returned Bt. Marc, shuddering in spite of his effort to seem ffnaffeeted. “Ha—have you? And what did she want with yon?" “Why, she seemed to be crazy: and ns near as I could make out her meaning, xbe wanted me to be very careful of my child. But what did she want with you?” "Why—blesa her old bark, she told me not to presume to make Donna Irene St. Marc my wife.

"But you don't suppose she has any power to carry out her threats, do you, St. Marc?’ to run my Share of the risk. She can only be some crazy old woman, and as my child has bestowed alms u|>on her several times, I suppose she thought she would stand up for the good of her bene­ factress.’’ ■ “What? and do you suppose Irene has told her that she does not wish to marry with me?” “You can judge of that as well as I. But if she has ,what does It amount to? Let the old woman pass.” "Very well, so be It—only that picture is so like her I couldn’t help alluding to her.” The conversation now turned upon the war, and for some time the two men dis­ cussed the question as they understood it, and they came to the conclusion that it wonld take but n few weeks longer tor Banta Anna to sweep Hie Yankees from the country. After this conclusion had been satisfactorily arrived at. Tudel arose to take his departure. "I am not fit for presentation yet," he said, “for 1 am toil-worn and dusty.

She was one of the fairest of the fair of Vera Crux .and many a crown of beauty's winning bad been placed upon her brow. She was nineteen years of age. and from her mother she had inher­ ited the pure blood of Castile. She was rather slight in frame, but by no means too much so; to have added one span to her height, or one degree fo her size, wonld have surely abstracted from the perfect symmetry of her form. Her hair was of a rich, dark brown, and her eyes of that dark, soft hazel which possossea all the vivacity of the Jetty black, with all the mild persuasiveness of the d<*ep, liquid blue. As she sat now by the open window, gazing vacantly out through the vines that clustered thickly about the casement, her full, fair bosom rose and fell as though the thoughts that moved within were of more than ordinary mo­ ment. The sun was just sinking, and as the last shadows of day lengthened out into oblivion, the door of her room was opened and her father entered. He gazed upon her a fer moments without speak­ ing. and then he moved to her Bide and imprinted a kiss upon her check. She started as though some small venomous insect had fallen there. Why that quick shudder should have come she could not tell—the emotion was an instinctive one —a quick movement of her own soul— and mbe almost wondered at it herself. “Irene,” spoke St. Marc, taking a scat near bto^iaughter, "were you aware that Tudel had returned?" ' “Yes. Cassandra told me he had come.” “And I suppose you will be ready to re­ ceive him when he shall call upon you?" “I suppose I shall be obliged to see him, senor.” “Ah, do you still cherish that old hat- but she’s either lost or condemned,' or perhaps sold.” Bl Marc knew now that his guest wsu lying, for his every look and tone showed it, but he chose to take no further no­ tice of 14. “You ran call it old or not, just as you “Never mind, Jilok,” he said, with a please.

He had even dropped his line down and dangled tempting bolt within a few feet of them. Unless'it happened to fall directly In front of their noses, however, they would sel­ dom take It. as they were after lobster meat. When the thin-shelled lobsters wonld crawl out from beneath tbe pro­ tecting seaweed the codfish would dart at them and strike them fierce blows with tbelr tails, disabling them com­ pletely. They would then fall to and devour the helpless crustaceans. This performance the lobster fisherman said he had witnessed many times.—Lewlston (Me.) Journal. Wonders of the Forbidden Palace.

These bills will monopolize a good part of the three months of the ses­ sion. There are two bills which must be con­ sidered outside of tbe appropriation bills. These must provide for the basis of re­ apportionment under the new census and for the reorganization of the army. The apportionment under the new census law 1b obligatory. The constitution requires that the apportionment of Representa­ tives according to population must be made within ten year# from the date of the last apportipnment. The Fifty-first Congress made the last apportionment at the abort session In February, 1891. Thia makes it necessary that the Fifty-Sixth Congress shall make the new apportion­ ment. The census*returns are ready, and Con­ gressman Hopkins of Illinois, as chair­ man of the census committee, will have a bill prepared to apportion the represen­ tatives so as not to increase the mem­ bership of the House. Thr present ap­ portionment is one Representative for every 173,001. Tbe Increase In popula­ tion will make necessary an Increase in the number of population for each Rep­ resentative. It wUl be increased to about 200,000, as that will keep tbe member­ ship of the House about as it now Is In numbers. On this basis Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Texas would each gain two representa­ tives, and several other Western States would each gain one. There need be lit­ tle time consumed with such legislation, unless the Crumpncker bill is brought for­ ward and an effort made to make the basis of representation in the South ex­ clusive of those disfranchised by reason of their color. The Crumpacker bill ■would precipitate n fight which would consume much time. The Nicaragua bill, which passed the House last May, is before the Senate, and by special order it will be taken up tn that body at 2 o’clock on Dec. 10. Senator Morgan secured unanimous con­ sent to this special order on the closing day of the long session, and he will be on hand to insist oh the Senate taking up the canal bill. The bill will not bo passed until the Senate has taken some action on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The Hepburn canal bill Ignores the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and before It can be­ come law that b-eaty must be modified as in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, or by formal abrogation. The administration will p^ess the HayPaunccfote treaty for ratificatlsp. The State Department has been engaged in negotiations with Nicaragua for a new concession, and will report to Congress, but no indication has yet been given an to the success of this ♦Tort. There will be a bill for the reorganiza­ tion of the army. This is one of the necessities in the way of legislation. The present army of nearly 100,000 meh will of necessity he reduced to 27,000 men after June 30. unless some provision is made for continuing it at the larger fig­ ure between now and the dose of tbe fiscal year. The present art was ouly a temporary makeshift, as to both the in­ crease of the regtilar organization and the volunteers. It provides for these in­ crease. until June 30. 1901, and that after that date the army shall be re­ duced to the ohl establishment of 27,000 The report of General MacArthur shows that a considerable force must be kept In the Philippines for some time to home.

The rapid­ ity with which the vehicle was passing saved its occupants. The ax, or hatchet, . fell just behind the carriage. The wom­ an was immediately arrested. The mis­ sile, it developed later, was a short hand­ chopper. The woman is believed to be insane. The woman’s name is Selma Schnnpke. She occupied a place in tbe front rank of the spectators, on the side farthest from the Emperor. The batehet, it now appears, struck tbe carriage. A crowd ot people who witnessed the out­ rage threw themselves on his majesty's assailant, but the prompt intervention ot the police saved the woman from injury. WRECK ON JHE LAKE SHORE.

Also with last week’s Naw* comes an article from the pen of a new and mighty writer, evidently a Morga^te. They start out bv saving, "From the way the Stony Point items in last week’s News read* tbe Barryville correspondent must have touched one of our sore spots," and be­ fore they get through they say *0 mueh that they give u» as well as everybody else raMons to believe they must be sore all over and have been touched mighty hard. They gave ll>e Barryville writer credit, which was right, for being able to attend to their own affairs, and we sin­ cerely wish we could say the same of them, that is we believe II better to put one’s time to their own affairs first, and had the new writer been doing that they wouldn't have bad anything to say until other people were through. We are quite certain the Barryville writer didn't call for any assistance and we don't believe thev will thank any one for sticking in We are truly glad that such a writer has come to light, for a eeraon with such abil­ ity can not help but some time to make their mark In the world, for it U plain lo see that they put their whole mind *in the work.

Thev a’sn said that "if we hitched to the rail road.f nee it was because we didn’t know a hitching post when we saw it.” We confess that the hitchlug posts iu Morgan do look a little different than they do in most of towns. In fact tbehitch­ ing posts and some of its citixen* resemble one another so closely that- Uw task of telling one from tbe other is no easy mat­ ter. Then again they say there is room for twenty teams in Morgan all at on? lime, but we would like to ask how many teams from this precinct would have been in Nashville al one lime bad the voting place boen there, in other words what would Morgan do if all-the voters in this precinct would go there with their teams and stay all day as they do in Nashville. They would be ateout of house and home; to say that they can or do amply provide for tiiem is simply out of the question. There is no use of your trying to make Morgan ary thing more than It is.

A week had passed away from the time ot Jllok Tudel's first visit to Irene after hi* return, and he had repeated the visit thrice. On his last visit he had hitiled at the idea of having the wedding sooner than had been agreed upon at first. The maiden was surprised at thik. for she wondered what could have caused y>e man to change his mind. Now the truth was, Tudel was more keen than she gave him credit for; while, ou the ether hand, she was not so witty as she might have been. A simple conversation between Tudel aud St. Marc will solve tbe mys­ tery. It was ou the occasion ot the pir­ ate’s last visit—on the day previous to the one on which we thus return to the scene—-that he »tupt>ed to see St. Marc before leaving the house. *'St. Mare." he said, after he had seat­ ed himself, “we must hare our wedding come off a little sooner than we bad plan­ ned.” "Ah. how so?’’ returned the host, ele­ vating hi* eyebrow* with a Mare of inqiiisitivenes*. “Why—I must secure my wife before she runs off." ••You're talking in riddles, senor. I don’t comprehend.” "F simply mean that Irene i* planning to flee." • “You’re craxy. Jllok " ."Perhaps I am; bnt I have wnsr enough left by me yet to iimlerMund that” "If yon are in earnest, perhaps you'll explain." "Certainly,” returned Tudel. with aa expressive nod. “In tbe first place. 1 know that Irene hate* me. and that she would rather live in a hovel with some one she loved than to lire in a palace with mi’. Next, she naturally poaaesse* a sensitive mind, nnd would never be calm while her heart was really being crushed You understand thi«?” "Yes,” returned St. Mare, aa coolly as though they were discussing the merits of a horse. “And yet." pursued Tudel. "she is as «-alm as can be when 1 am present, aud the allusion to our marriage moves her not a jot. Now I simply know that she would never be thu* if she really belk-ved she wa* to ln-come my wife." "WeHT’ uttered St. Marc, looking calmly on. "Then." reratnrd Tudel. Ht appears plain enough to mr that she means to es­ cape me. Ay.

"Hut 1' have had no means of sreiag thl*.” “But I have." quickly replied Tudel, who. seeing the nail driven home, thought it best to clinch it. “I have, sen or; and more than that, I ran tell when the thought first entered her mind. 1 notic­ ed the change in her Iveartag, from ex­ treme fear to calm indifferrnr-e.

It was on Friday evening that St. Marc came to inform hie child that tl)»- marriage was to take pin er on Mon­ day. She knew from Tudel> remark* that the time was to be changed, but she dreamed n<« of so aiuch chapge.

The combined resourcea' of the national banks, being over *5.000,000,000, is great­ er than at any time heretofore." The m<wl important recomnieniatjon made by the Comptroller, nnd that which is the chief feature of the report, la one. for additional restrictions upon loans to directors and executive officers of banka. The Comptroller states that the large percentage of bank failures attributable to excessive loans to directors and offi­ cers, whi^h amount to 62 failures, or 17 per cent of tbe total failures of natiptial banks, led him to a careful invertigation as to all directors’ loans now outstanding in the national banks of the country. The Investigation showed that on June 21*, 1900, the date of the Comptroller’s call for a statement of condition from the national bank*, that of 28,700 direc­ tors of national bank* In the country, 18,­ 534 were directly or indirectly indebted to national banks under their manage­ ment. the aggregate of these sums being *202,287.441. The Comptroller urges the passage of the Brisius law to regulate these condi­ tion*. This bill provides that no na­ tional bank shall loan to its officers or employes until the proposition shall have been’submitted in writing to the directors or executive committee and approved by a majority of the members. . In dealing with the subject of loans the Comptroller *ays the present need is h provision which will enable large banks to Joan more nearly the same per cent of their t«|tul assets which the present pro­ vision allows to smaller bank*. The Comptroller suggests the follow­ ing change in the law: “T^iat the restric­ tion of this section ss to the amonnt ot total liabilities to any association of any person, or ot any company, corporation, or firm, for money borrowed shall not apply where a loan in excess of oue-tenth part of the capital stock shall be less than 2 jmt cent of tbe total assets of •aid bank at the time of making said Two new battleships, two armored cruisers six gunboats and half a doz'-u HUiaiJerwcMM'Is are asked of Congress by Secretary °t the Navy Long In hi* annual rrpvrl tQ th,.

DISASTER CAUSES THE DEATH OF THIRTEEN BOYS. tory OverlookioK Football Game Col* lapses—Scene ofTerelb e Suffering. Tbe collapse of tbe roof of a glass fac- ’ tory iu Ban Francisco from which a 'urge number of people were walebinc » foot­ ball game between Leland Blanford sud the University of California, caused the death of thirteen people nnd serious injnrlea to nearly 100 others, several of whom arc fatally Injured and many oth­ ers will be maimed for life. Those who were injured fell into the furnaces aud seething glasspots below aud terrible tor­ ture was suffered iu many instances. About twenty minutes after tbe game had commenced, and without any warn­ ing, a corner of the roof collapsed, carry­ ing with it in Its fall all those who had been standing thereupon. Luckily the whole r«x>f did Dot give way or the disas­ ter would have been ev<-u more fearful. As It was at len«t 200 fell into the Interior of the works, and a few more in the rush that en«!’i-d iu the other portion of the place to get down were hurled to the ground. The portion of the roof which collaps­ ed was the covering over the ventilator ban at the apex of the building and-was not constructed to sustain any heavy weight. The horizontal timbers In the center, corresponding to thj- ridip 1' of an ordinary structure, broke near the center, and the’ light framework under­ neath. with its covering of corrugated iron, turned inward, forming a chute through which the men and boys were precipitated into the furnaces beneathMost of those killed or injured were boys between 9 nnd 1»» years of age. Nearly nil of the victim* bad their sknlta fractured or limb* broken and sustained serious Internal injuries. The factory.’Ues been shut down for some months, nnd for tbe first time tbe fires in the furnaces had been relighted and in all the vats glgss iu it* various forms was .being melted aud refined." Into these seething I sit- of molten matter the victims of tbe accident were hurled, so me being bodily cast'into the fires, oth­ ers falling into vats where the matter was glowing, aud st 111 others being incin­ erated by falling into those huge pots where the glass, seething and bubbling, wn* being pni-ifie«i. Some of these were killed instantly aud others were roasted ■lowly to death, their imsition being such that help could not be given them. The few who were »<» fortunate gs tu escape death by the furnaces suffered in­ juries by falling upon piles of glass slag with sharp, jugged edges, which lay by the sides of tbe vats, or by falling upon the floor nnd. stunned by the shock, be­ ing scorched and burned by their proxim­ ity to the intense, bent. Seldom has an accident happened wherein the victim* who were not killed hare been subjected to such tortures, and the cries of those* who in their helplessness and the inabil­ ity of those- to miccor them were being burned to death were piteous to hear. To add to the terrible calamity the falling of the timbers into the fires set the building ablaze. The fire was not put out until the greater part of the factor* had been con»umed.

They did not beat Chicago as badly as Wisconsin, yet IlliHois and Northwestern tied, and Northwestern beat Chicago and tied Iowa. Chicago tied Minnesota and Wis­ consin lost to the Gophers.

Typhoon The one central figure in European pol­ itics last week is Patti Kruger, president of the JTrau*mnl republic. He ia nn un­ couth, wlmost unlettered, Boer, bent with age. He is the president of a republic that bus been beaten into the earth by the iron heel of a British army 200,000 strong aud commanded by the greatest military leader of the old world Tbe Boer army is scattered. Hixteen thou­ sand B«mt soidiers are prisoners nt 8t. Helena, in Ceylon, or in Cape Town. The re»t. broken up into guerrilla bands, are being driven from shelter to shelter in the Transvaal or the Orange Free Ftate. The Boer women and children have been driven from their farms to tbe smaller towns and from the smaller towns to tbe larger cities. There is nothing left of the Boer republic but the name and Pres­ ident Kruger. What will Europe do with Kruger? 1* he an element of danger to England? The»e are mirations being ask­ ed by thinking men in Eugland as well aa on the continent. Apparently Kruger's only hope for assistance lira in the French people, and President Loubet and bis premier. Waldeck-Rouaaeau, are evi­ dently determined that even the volatllinm of the French people shall not away the government a hair's breadth from an attitude absolutely correct toward Great Britain. But if tbe French excess of en­ thusiasm for Kruger ran be turned Into a political channel ami the WaldeckRousseau ministry be overturned, tbe sit­ uation might take on an altogether dif­ ferent aspect. It is fairer to assume that Kruger is making a final effort to secure, through diplomacy, that pressure on Eng­ land that may compel the British gov­ ernment, ftonr—wuyirrs of self-interest alone, to grant at Iea»t autonomy to the Boe* race*. During a terrific typhoon which visited the Island of Guam tbe United States auxiliary cruiser Yosemite was wrecked and thousands of houses, among them the headquarters of Gov.

Revolt, of a Mysterious Landslide in Terrific rumblings nnd report* startled the citizens of Bingamon Greek, W. Va„ on a recent evening. The people rushed from their homes and beheld tbe hillside caving in, and great avalanches ot earth, rftone and coal rolling toward the creek. At daylight it was seen that five coal mines in that vicinity bad been utterly destroyed. The strata of limestone above the coal had been rent, and the bluff or hillside, a half-mile long and twenty feet deep, was precipitated to Bingamon creek below, a distance of 100 feet, forc­ ing the stream out of its natural course some distance. Fire firemen were seriously injured while working on the Merchants' Hotel, which was destroyed by fire at McPher­ son. Kan.

Holi­ day Buying Hade Easy. It is a well known fact that Nash­ ville is the best holiday town of ite size in the state, and draws holiday trade for many miles outside of her regular trading territory, for the reason that her merchants make it a I well selected stocks pf goody appro­ priate to the occasion, and sell them at prices much lower than is- usual for holiday goods to be sold at. While the people <ft other towns make it a practice to go to “the city” to make their holiday purchase*, Nash­ ville people do not follow the custom, for the reason that her enterprising merchants bring the city holiday mar­ kets to their very doors and at price# much lower than are ever quoted in the larger places. This year will prove no exception to tiie rule, for we believe from what we have seen on our annual trip around the stores, that there is a much larger supply of holiday goods in the village this year than has ever been shown here In years past, which meaus that it to truly sotoetoing phe­ nomenal. It will pay intending shop­ pers to read these column-, carefully, for they will thus Ica-rn what is new in the market and just where to find everything in the holiday line, and by thus having their wishes anticipated their holiday shopping trips are made E. UKBHAVSER. It eome« natural to start in at E. Liebbauser’s, for here is where holi­ day goods reign supreme, both sides of Hie store, from windows to rear en­ trance. Mr. Liubhauser carries the largest and finest stock of jewelry be­ tween Jackson aud Grand Rapids, and while his-«»L<>ck is always new, fresh and up-to-the-minute, he has added so many new and pretty tilings for the holiday trade that it how changed the entire appearance of things. One of the most noticeable tilings which strikes the eye is a mag­ nificent stock of cut glass and handEainted china, delicate and beautiful eyond description. Fine china wan aever so .popular as at the present time, and vou can buy any of your laaly friends a bit of this beautiful -ware and be sure of not making* mis­ take. In cut glass the stock is of ex­ quisite beauty and is marked at medium prices. His stock of watches is oiasply immense. There are ladies’ and gents’ watches in all the sixes, in silver and gold, in the latest patterns of cases, and with works guaranteed in every way to give satisfaction. A comparison of prices with those of any other dealer in this vicinity on dame grade of watches is invited. It is wonderful how many new and pretty things come out each year in sterling novelties, and you may be sure that you can always find the latest here. Hundreds of 'unique yet inexpensive little gifts may be seen in this line, just the thing for a gift to a friend. The stuck uf jewelry in all the regular lines is also very complete. Clocks of all sizes, kinds and colors, and at all prices: silverware, in guaranteed quadruple plate, in all the new pat­ terns: the always reliable Roger Bros. ‘‘1B47'* knives, fortes and-*u0oua; Qdd pieces, in plated and sterling; rings, pins, chains, charms, society emblems, and all of the numerous other articles that go to make up a complete stock, from a collar button to a diamond ring. Look over the window display —it generally gives you au idea of what you m*>y expect to find inside. The balance of the store is given up to the holiday man and his capable ussistaDtq* as well as .the jewelry de­ partment. If a |*erwn started out to tej! all about it. he would want a whole newspaper, aod we haven’t got it to spare this week. It is a sure thing, though, that what you are look­ ing fur is here, if it ought to be found Id it stock of this kind. All the beau­ tiful celluloid axticlrs are here in all Knee, in albums, toilet .cases, glove ana handkerchief boxes, brushes, ete., and in more beautiful patterns this year than ever before. Musical instruments, medallions, atomizers, odor c»aa*, perfumes in exouisite cut glass bottles, toilet seta and toilet ar■ dolls and doll head* in endless profusion. Purses, pocketbooks and waiiete, in all kinds of leather, and at thU line. In the book department may be found ail the standard authors, ths. class‘d, and everything attain­ able in the book line; prices ranging from ten cento up, but never too far up. in the line of bibles, the asst rtm«ot is perfi--t: the fineat of teacher# ’ bibles, in he-rt of bindings, at very moderate prices.

HER LITTLE MASQUERADE. L'niustratioa, one of the leading Illustrated papers of Paris, has been trying to give its readers an ide* of the immense extent of the territorial possessions of th? United State*. By means of the map here reproduced it isahown that New York State is as large as England, that Montana is equal to Japan, that Spain to no larger than Utah and Nevada, and that Michigan, Wisconsin. Indiana and Illinois together contain as many square mile* of territory ak Germany. When It comes to Texas it will surprise many people to know that Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, Portugal, Turkey, Roumania, Bulgaria, Servia, Greece and Palestine could be put down comfortably in Texas without filling the Lone Star State to overflowing. Pennsylvania and Cuba are about the same size, and Italy and the Philippines together are no larger than the territory of Arizona. Egypt is as largq as Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and the territory of Oklahoma taken collectively. Other interesting comparisons may be made by a careful study of the map.

"The axiom Is a good deal deeper than most people suppose. Taken liter­ ally, in games of pure chance. It is false; applied to human nature it to true. Suppose, for example, that two men pitch pennies: the ,chances for beads and tails are perfectly even, and Lt can make no dlffreuce which ot the players does the guessing.

In playing the races the odds are seemingly agnlnot the guesHcra,' for the reason that they are Influenced by all sorts of hints, tips and premonitions, mostly wrong. It isn't really a case of guessing, but a case of misplaced confidence. “Luck is something that doesn't exist except in real life. The late Prof. Proc tor once delivered a lecture In Phlla delpblaon the *Mathematlcs of Chance,’ and proved conclusively that there was no such thing as luck.

The acute phase of the crWs >u the Chinese negotiations was passed Wed­ nesday, when all the interested nations reached a harmonioua agreement in re­ gard to the demands to be made on the Chinese government, to which assent must be given before formal peace nego­ tiations may begin- Instructions wore sent to Minister Conger by Secretary Hay to sign ths preliminary agreement, and it is now assured that the formal conferences between Li-Hung-Chang and Prince Ching, the Chinese plenipoten­ tiaries, and the minister* of the powers will be initiated shortly. Advices were received at the State De­ partment from Mr. Conger that the min­ ister* had modified the agreement in ac­ cordance with the instructions sent to their representatives by the respective govermuents. The agreement was necew sarily a compromise, but ou the whole It Is satisfactory to the United States, the two main points of punishment and In­ demnity being arranged in conformity with the view* of the PreridenLjtnd Sec­ retary of State. The State Department learned that an agreement such a* that reached would be acceptable, if not whol­ ly satisfactory, to the other powers. The main question at issue was that of punishment*. The ministers had adopted an article of the agreement which provided that twelve Chinese dig­ nitaries should be executed for their com­ plicity in the antl-foreign troubles. To this the United States objected on the ground that the Chinese imperial author­ ities or the powers were unable to inflict jraeh severe sentences on the powerful officials named, chief of whom was Prince Tuan, the father of the heir apparent to the throne. Russia promptly came to the support of the United State* in this contention, and all the other nations followed suit w|th the exception of Ger­ many, which desired the most exemplary punishment inflicted on those who were directly responsible for the murder of Baron von Ketteler. As a result of exchanges within th? last week Germany, it is understood, has come around to this view that the Chi­ nese government, wh.ich is charged by the powers with the infliction of the pun­ ishments, was unable to carry out capital sentences on the principal offenders. Guaranties, however, must be given that these men will be punished severely, and the powers must have evidence that the punishments have been carried out in good faith. Aa to indemnity, the agreement con­ tains a provision that the Chines? gov­ ernment shall acknowledge liability for Injuries to governments, corporations and persons, and agree to pay damages, ac­ tual and exemplary, to be fixed hereafter in such manner ns the peace plenipoten­ tiaries shaM decld?. . 'rhe amounts to be paid are not fixed nor is any limit of in­ demnity Ytamed. This government, and Russia favor the transfer of the indem­ nity question to the permanent court of arbitration nt 'The Hague, of which exi’mident Harrison, Chief Justice Fuller. Attorney General Griggs and Judge Gary of Delaware, formerly United States Senator, are the American members. AH the other demand* heretofore adopt­ ed by the ministers are included in the agreement, with no material modifica­ tion*. These embrace the proposal* of France and Germany, the more radical being suggested from Berlin. While ob­ jecting to some of them, this government devoted its efforts mainly to securing modifications of the punishment and in­ demnity clause*, and was finally obliged to appeal to the powers over the heads of the ministers in Pekin to bring about the adoption of less severe demands iu these matters. 1’111’1( 4..

The manner of entrapptag them Is explained by a South American writer, who Is familiar with Ufa In town and in forest through­ out the equatorial belt. One of tbe simplest methods consists in cutting a number of boles In a gourd, making them barely large enough to ad­ mit tbe monkey's hand. The gourd, thus prepared. Is filled with corn and secured to the trunk of a tree. Then It Is shaken violently, so as to attract the attention of the monkeys. A few grains of corn are scattered In the neighborhood of tbe trap.

They no sooner hear the wellknown sound than they descend from their aerial homes, and each In turn, seizing tbe gourd, grasps through one of the holes a handful of corn.

THK Upper Peninaula Uffera Inducement* for Settler*-Nocturnal Robbery Near Stanton—Piece o‘f Skull Torn Out by Corn Shredder. Superintendent Leo M. Geismar of the upper peninsula sub-station at Chatham, will join Director Smith in the lower part of the State, and together they will make a determined effort to put the Canadian farm agents out of business. These agents hare operated In the'soutbern con­ fines of the State with considerable ■ac­ cess for the past four or five years, and with the. inducctnetits of cheap lands aud good markets they have had little difficul­ ty In leading many representative farm­ ers to make new homes In the Dominion. Messrs. Geismar and Smith will ask the very pertinent question. What Is there that Canada can boast that northern Michigan cannot duplicate? This query will prove a poser. There is an abun­ dance of good, cheap farming land In ■everal count lea of the upper peninsula. Its acreage Is broad enough for the re­ ception of hundreds of new settlers.

Five Person* Ar* Killed and Twenty More Injured—Flyinc Boiler Strike* Coach ot an Oatjroln< Train—Dark* ne»i Cover* the Scene. With a mighty rush and roar a boiler in the power house uf the Chicago and Nocthweatwu tollway at Kinrie and Ki&gnbury strt^XChicago, exploded at B o'clock Monday’atCcrnoou,' killing five people uud Injuring a score or more. All traffic at the local terminal of the road wa* suspended for two hours as « result of the accident. Tbe 150-horse power metal sUuctare which iu some unknown manner caused th* lews of life and consequent damage waa hurled high into the air and carried a distance of nearly 100 feet. It struqk the rear portion of a parlor car attached to an outgoing passenger train, destroy­ ing the coach and injuring five of th* •ccupant*. one probably fatally. The explosion was so severe that it ■book the surrounding buildings, the concujwioa breaking many - window*. The power house la a complete wreck. Only portions ot tbe cast and sooth wall* ar* standing. Flying debris, bricks, stone ■nd Umber* with pieces of structural Iron work were thrown several hundred feet One of tbe four boilers of the battery— th* one thrown upon the railroad tracks —exploded in what la known a* a "head­ end” explosion. In this manner the force was distributed to the north and south. The north portion of the building wa* thus destroyed while the boiler tore its way through the south face and up Into the air. With the demolition ot the north and south wall* the roof fell, carrying th* intervening floors with it. Th* fire re­ maining under the other three boiler* Ig­ nited the maM of matter cast about it and this added new danger* to th* horror. The flame* were eagerly combated by the firemen, however, and very «oon subdued, although they continued to smolder and break forth afrerh for several hour* af­ terward. Three of the men killed were section hand* working on the tracks nearly 100 feet from the power bouse. Up Into the air the big boiler, weighing several thou­ sand pounds, was thrown. The group of •action men scattered, but three were caught by a fence lining ths railroad right of way, and their live* were crushed out in an instant. Tony Krause, fireman, was caught iu tbe buildhig and frightful­ ly scalded and injured. He wa* hurried away for medical treatment, but died a few hours after the accident. Henry Schnur, a young man, IS year* of age, wa* employed in the auditor** de­ partment of the railway company. He wa* just leaving work and on his way to catch an out-bound train for hi* home. He pawed tbe fated power houie ju*t as the explosion occurred. The full force of It seemed to envelope him. Eye wit­ nesses said the unfortunate youth wa* tossed into the air twenty or thirty fret. To all intent* safely and securely en­ sconced in the pretty parlor car of the passenger train which wti* just leaving tile yards, were a group ot passenger* northward bound. Mr. and Mrs. Biakel of Sheboygan were returning to their home after a bridal tour. Mr. and Mrs. August C. Beck of Milwaukee and A. Levinson of Chicago were also among the passengers. They heard the noise and were -looking out of the car windows when the coach wa* struck by a cloud of brick and debris. Then came the crash when the boiler descended and Biruck th* car. All these peopbf wore injured. The damage to the building and th* parlor car i* placed at $45,000. Tbe In­ surance carried by the railroad company will cover about four-fifth* of tbe loss. The great Ion to the company will be through the temporary loss of the power house In the operation of the terminal lines of the road from Chicago avenue to the central passenger station.

DURIVAQB. 5 O,.you’re not afraid of being left alone in the ebureh," said Deacon Bradstock. • “Afraid! no!" answered Luke Bridge­ ly, boldly; "what should I be afraid of?" “Many a man is afraid of his own evil eonscientv,” said the deacon. Luke Bridgely nude no answer. This conversation passed in the vestry •f a small city church. The room had been lately plastered, and a* it was cold * winter weather that 31 st of December, a large fire had been kindled to dry the walls against the coming Sunday. Luke Bridgely had been once a thriving mechanir. Like many a man whose con­ viviality has l>ee.n his ruin, there were' many good traits in his character; he was kind-hearted; generous, charitable, but guidixi by impulse rather than principle. The deacon had known him in better days, and when that afternoon Luke, haggard, weary and wan. had asked him for a job, he had ventured, for the sake at the applicant's wife and children, to engage him to watch the tires. Luke had not entered a church for years, and it was with a certain awe that he had cross­ ed the threshold. "And you will n» take the pledge, Luke?" said the deacon, as he lingered near tjje door. “Not a bit'of it." answered Luke, with an uneasy laugh. 'T should only break ft. as I -have done,so many promises, to poor Martha.” “Weil." rejoined the deacon, with n aigb. “at least you will .pledge tne your word not to dHnk a drop to-night?" "That I will, deacon; my ward of honor •nd I give yon full permission to turn the ke"y on me." ’ "Luke badf^ him good night and threw himself in an armchair jpefore. the redhot stove. The light glowed ruddily on the walls, lit up the pine trees and few toons that were bound about the pillar*, touched the trembling drops of the chan­ delier, gleamed on the-dial of the clock jn die gallery, and burnished with gold the pipes of the great organ. Against the window* the wind dashed and the arrow­ flights of sleet fell harmlessly, though with a dreary sound. Luke was composing himself to sleep when the sound of voices singing with­ out roused him. He recognized as the music drew nearer, the singers, the air and the words. The latter were as fol- "Then stay and be hanged tt/you," said the full moon, ns it set in an angry cloud. Luke was left to himself. After a while be fell asleep. He dreamed that he was in a strange country--strange but beautiful. The sky was deep blue, un^beckered by a cloud. All at once (here kame gliding towards the dreamer, from a duster of magnolias, an old man, with two fairy children. As they drew nearer he recognised with owe the features of his father and of the two young children, his own, whose ashes lay in the old churchyard. They saw him—they turned their glorious faces towards him. Thru Id an agony of affection the poor man was rushing forward to clasp them in his arms*, but he had no power over his Limbs;, his feet seemed rooted. And nt the same moment a voice sounded In his ear, “Luke Brjdgely, art thou worthy to join these blessed ones?" "Wortlfcy or not, I make the effort," said the unhappy man. “To strive Is to succeed!” answered the voice. With this Luke Bridgely Generally speaking, the ship subsidy bill, about which »o much has been-said lately, provides fof a’ tonnage bounty on sail and steam vessels, with an in­ crease ou a sliding scale according to the aixe and speed of the vessel. No vessel is to rvtelvr bounty unless it carries a cargo amounting to 50 per cent of its carrying capacity on every voyage. In other words; do bounty will be paid for voyage*'-made tn ballast or without actual commercial freight. The vessels must . be built upon designs approved by the naval authorities, ami l>c subjected to the use of the government for cruiscrs'iu time of war. Foreign-built ships owned by American citizens can receive half the bounty to be paid to American-built ves-aeja. and ships actually contracted for and under const ruction In foreign ship­ yards for American owners are entitled to the same privilege, but the bounty will be withheld until their owners have built an equal amount of tonnage in the Unit­ ed State*. All ships must be rated AL One-fourth of their crcw*-^nust be citi­ zens of the United States, and in order to educate officers for ships to be built In the future they must carry one*cadet for every 1.000 tons or fraction thereof. They must also carry malls from the United States to foreign countries free of charge. American vessels already built are sub­ sidized for ten years; vessels to be here­ after built for twenty years. The maxi­ . mum subsidy payable in any one year is •$9.000,0u0. At the present time tlft- ex­ penditure would bo about $4.500.000 a year.

Lansing correspondence: ' For the third time in two years, the State Legislature convened Wednesday In special session called by Gov. Pin­ gree.

Of course the winter solstice, or* the turning point of the sun in its course, the change from decreasing casioh for rejoicing among that people. Their customs, practiced by the Druid priests, w<*re therefore appropriate. 'They gather the revered mistletoe and it is significant that they cared for none but that which grew upon the trunk of an oak tree which was sacred to the sun god. Two white bullocks wore led out and tied to the oak tree upon which the plant was found. When the mistletoe had been detached by the priests the bullocks were sacrificed- The mistletoe was hung up above the doors of the houses to insure good luck for the year that was about to begin. In Normandy the plants are still gathered in great quantities and shipped to England and America for what pur­ poses we well know.

We can live and associate la the past only through the imagination; future generations will listen to our voices as they were in life and ae* us In action aa we lived. In all lines of human endeavor the progress of the century has been phenomenal. No line seems to have lagged or been neglected. The strides of progress hsve been long In mathematics. Insurance, both fire and life, music, litera­ ture, medicine, law, theology, agriculture and alLthe sciences. The methods of warfare on both land and water have been revolutionized. On tbe water steam has taken the place of sails, metal Instead of wood is used in the building of the ahlps, and the paddle wheel has paased for the screw propeller. These changes have caused a greet advance in th* speed of the vessels. There has been a wonderful increase in the caliber and power of the guns aud in their rapidity of fire. The aafs use of high explosives has brought the fleet little torpedo boat into use aa one Jf th* principal features of naval warfare. On land the breeqh-loading, rapid-fire guns have compelled radical changes in military tactics. There are. now no massed formations in 'dense columns such as were hurled against each other In the last and preceding centuries. Modern arms have compelled skirmishing lines and open order formations. If alliances and arbitration cannot maintain universal peace it is probable that the future wars on land will be duels between heavy and light artillery; and It will not be surprising if the naval conflicts will take place to a great extent beneath the surface of the water. The wildest drcams of the last century did not imagine the achievements of the present, and though our dreams and predictions for rhe future seem extravagant, yet no one can oven faintly anticipate what another century will bring forth. In the dosing years of the twentieth century perhaps our successors on this atom of th* universe will converse with each other through s space of hundreds of miles without the use of wires; will see compressed air take the place of steam on the railroads; liquid air stored In the buffkers of submarine vessels to furnish the motive power for an ocean wysgei airships traveling long distances safely and under perfect control; contagions diseases eradicated through a complete knowledge of the treatment of the germs which cause them; crime greatly reduced by the general and skillful mental and physical training of children; surgery reduce to a minimum the fear of death by accidents and acgaulc troubles; electricity carry photos over the wire as It now carries the letters of the alphaiwt: and in the quietness of the night th* astronomer carry oa a conversation with an astronomer of Mars through a aystem of giant electric flashes.

Tbe total assessments in the State for this year are aa follows: Real estate $1,006,458,018 Personal 310.997,015 Total$1,317.450,02S The total amount of taxes levied iu Michigan for the year 1900 was $20,­ 377,243. Tbe increase in res! estate over 1899 is $180,584,302. or 21.8 per cent In­ crease. Roughly estimated, about $70,­ 000,000 of this sum Was put oh mining property. The increase iu personal prop­ erty over 1899 is $lt®,468,254, or an in­ crease of 119 per cent. Of this increase in personal $91,780,775 comes from th* seventy-eight cities of the State. These totals do not include the valuation of railroad*, telephone, telegraph and . ex­ press companies’ property and the rate of taxation for railroad property under th* expected legislation at Lansing has yet to be determined. The State game warden has submitted his report for November, which cover* tbe twenty-two days of the open season for deer. He says that it was necessary to keep every deputy warden in the State in the field during the entire period look­ ing after reported violations of the deer law. Inasmuch as there was plenty of anew from the first days of the. open season to the last, and thousands of bant­ ers in the woods, tbe slaughter of deer far exceeded that of former years. 8pw rial deputies were stationed at various places twhere much of tbe deer pas* in their shiproent to tbe southern part of the State, and these shipments were so numerous that Warden Morse is confi­ dent that not less than 5,000 deer wer* killed during the season. He advocate* reducing the number of deer each hunter may legally kill from five to at most three. It is not often that an appropriation for charitable purposes is not exhausted. A few years ago the State Legislature made an appropriation of not exceeding $25,000 for the relief of the people who lost their homes in the great fire at On­ tonagon. Twenty thousand dollars of th* amount was drawn by the local commit­ tees, but not all of this amount was ex­ pended. As a result of a trip to Ontona­ gon by State Accountant Humphrey and Deputy Attorney General Chase, th* State recently received SILSOO from th* local relief committee which had not been expended. Deputy Attorney General phase also obtained $336.81 from an es­ tate in Marquette County, which bad escheated to the State. The •barbers’ examining board is pre­ paring to ask the State Legislature for certain amendments to the present law •n order to make It more efficient, and the board of State auditors has been asked if the board could use a portion of the money it has collected for the pur­ pose of employing an attorney to prepar* the amendments desired. About $1,700 has been turned over to the State from fees received by the board.

FAB CANADIAN WILDS EXPLORATIONS TO NORTHWEST OF HUDSON B>Y. Profeasor Tyrell’s Expedition Retains, Hsvtng Rsocucd • * English Captive Prof. J. W. Tyrell, the celebrated ex­ plorer of Canadian wild*, has returned from an expedition through the barren lands of northern Canada. He traveled over 5.000 miles on the lour. Hi* expe­ dition, which was sent out by the Cana­ dian government, met with many perils in the long jouruey to the northwest of Hudson Bay. Prof. Tyrell made the im­ portant discovery that the barren lands, generally supposed to be treeless prairie, were covered in many places with rich northern forests, and there were stretches of timber land 200 miles in extent, in August Prof. J. W. Bell of the geological survey, who was second in command of the expedition, went on a side tour of 500 miles up one of the branches of the Theta*. There he rescued an English­ man named Ofiarlcs Bunn, who had beenheld in captivity by the Eskimos fcr five years. Prof. Bell was in the lead of the party when they entered a village just be­ fore nightfall, and was amazed when a tall, wril-built man, dressed like an Es­ kimo, ran up and addressed him in Eng­ lish. Bunn told a marvelous story. He said he had gone out from Edmonton in 1895 and had wandeyed far into the In­ terior, shooting and trapping. He ra* short of provisions and applied to an Es­ kimo family. They took kirn to their village, where he was compelled to re­ main, living ns one of them. He had several thousand dollars* worth of fur. He joined Bell's party and came out to Edmonton with the explorers. GIRL 18 GUARDED WITH GUNS.

For months the residents of the city have been preparing for a fitting observance of this historical event, the design being to bring out the devel­ opment which a century has brought forth, not only in the capital, but in tbe The city was in gala attire, and from in early hour the streets were filled with eager and expectant throngs. Pennsylva­ nia avenue was a picture of color from end to end, the business houses being hung with bunting, flags and patriotic de­ vices. The great public buildings added their share to the brilliancy of the spec­ tacle. From tbe front of the Treasury radiated an enormous aunborat of red, white and blue. Farther ou, the War, State end Nary Departments and the Department of Justice were resplendent in the national colors. At the other end of Pennsylvania avenue tbe ma*»l?a front of the capita! was hung with long streamers, and from the dome fluttered a myriad of flags, while the front of the huge Poetoffice Department was covered with the national color*. The program of the day began with a reception at 10 o’clock by President Mc­ Kinley and members of his cabinet to the Governors of the States and territories at the Executive Mansion. This was fol­ lowed by the unvoUing in the east room of the model of the proposed enlarged Executive Mansion, which is to be a last­ ing memorial of tbe celebration.

Towne of Min­ nesota, recently candidate of tbe Popu­ list party for Vice-President, was sworn iu as United States Senator to succeed the late Cushman K. Davis. A number of Federal appointments were confirthed. and the principal part of the day was spent in executive session on the HayPauncefote treaty. The first speech ta opposition to the ship subsidy bill in the Senate was deliv­ ered on Tuesday by Mr. Clay of Georgia, one of the minority members of the com­ mittee on commerce, which reported It to the Senate. He is recognized as one of the most vigorous opponents of the bill in the Senate and during nearly two hours was accorded close attention by Senators on both sides of the chamber. The Sen­ ate then in thirty minutes passed fortyfive of unobjected pension bill* on the calendar. An act providing that entry­ men under the homestead laws who serv­ ed in the United State* army, navy or marine corps during the Spanish war or the Philippine insurrection shall have cer­ tain service deducted from the time re­ quired to perfect title under homestead laws was passed. The Senate then at 4:20 p,m.. ou motion of Mr. Lodge, went into executive session. There were no xrt speeches on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. f • The Senate transacted no business of public importance cm Wednesday owing to Washington's centennial celebration. Made Mr. Hanna's speech on the ship subsidy bill a special order for Thursday morning. By special order tbe Senate convened at 11 o'clock on Thursday. The announc­ ed purpose of tbe early convention was to enable Mr. Hanna of Ohio to address the Senate on the ship subsidy bill before taking up the special order of to-day— the further consideration in executive session of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.

The Mexicans labored under dteadvnntgge'on all hand*.., They were wholly un­ armed, and the snddenneM and strange­ ness of the attack’struck them with a degree of osontebuimt that nearly upset their powers. Within five minutes from the rime that Mac Wayne reached the deck the eight men who were ou deck were down and bound. Tie feat of knock­ ing them down was very easily perform­ ed for when the Yankee* first came upon them they had all gathered wonderingly about the fallen man. nnd thu* they be­ gan to fall ere they knew any more bad left the boat. The outcries of lhe man at the helm soon brought Captain Migdon to the deck, but he w» knocked down ere he had taken a dozen steps forward, and in a moment more his feet were in a noose formed on the end of the topgali*’,t h**1' Hards. His hands were then ix'und^ehlnd him with a piece of marline stuff, and he was then laid away in the watat. The next move was to the wheel, where they took add bound the Mexican, and placed Adams in his place. Then they hastened to the forc-bntth. where they found SioaX just running the risk of being overcome, one of his blows haring misled it* object, and a man baring darted up by him. But the business was quickly settled now. There were two of the men below already stunned by Sloan’s blows, and the other six quickly surrendered up­ on being assured that no harm should come to them further than imprison­ ment. The next work was to put the Mexican* in irons. The captain was the last one they came to. “Well, sexwir," said Clarence, as he and Max approached the fallen chieftain, "you see the fortunes of war have chang­ ed." . It was some moments before Migdon spoke; but finally he opened his lips, and his tone presented a strange mixture of anger, regret and surprise. “Perdition hare thee, thou Yankee vil­ lains! But how did you do it? Tell me how." “Why," answered Clarence, “this 4a but part of what we had planned long before you though: you’d captured us. Thia was all arranged when we commenced to •boot your men on the cha*e.” “But how did you do it? TcWme that. How did you get those iron off?" . “Don’t you see—we haven't got them off yet. We have only bitten them in two." “Pitr /ou couldn’t bite your lies off be­ fore they drop from your mouth," uttered the captain, showing a feeling .of anger. “Perhaps we might if we had them to practice upon.” returned Clarence, with ■ smile. "But come, we must have you try ou KOtne of your own ruffles, for we have concluded to relieve you. The fact is, that we didn’t think it hardly right thst we should enjoy the sail without do­ ing our share of the work." Migdon looked as though he would like to show fight, but he probably made up his inInd that be should Dot benefit him•elf much thereby, so he suffered the irons to be put on. "Where do ybu mean to run?" he ask­ ed, with some anxiety manifesting itself •mid hi* anger, as soon as the irons were on. “You will probably be landed some­ where near Galveston,” Clarence return­ ed. Migdon .“veined ou the point of asking some favor, but he now changed hi* mind, •ad remained ritept. "Look hen-." said Max. after Migdon had been stowed away between two of the guns, “what do ye s'posc baa become of the schooner?” ~O. »be> probably out of sight to ice­ ward by this time," returned Howard. “When this breeze sprang up, I noticed that the brig teft her fast. I don't think it best to pay any attention to her, and for two reasons. In the first place, this brig, which le now your prize---- ” “Our prim capt’n," interrupted Max. “Yes—your pnzeTT"meant to include your men. of course.” “And you. too." "No, no, my good air. Voder no cir­ cumstances whatever will I accept or claim anything save my own property. I got you into the scrape, and if I hare helped get you out. heaven knows that my own escape is a heavenly reward for my labor.” , upon this there followed quite a little passage ot dispute, for old Max seemed determined that his young friend should take a big share of the prize. But finally, when Clarence brought his foot down with such pcpBBptneM that there could be no more mistaking hi* real wishes in the mailer, the point wUs conceded. “And now." the youth reeumed. “as I was remarking—the prize will more than repay you, RI,<i wh<— I am gone you will not have mon- than men enough to man­ age her. And in the second place—if you attempt to wait for the schooner, you may Io*** all you’re gained, for in all probability thevc.are other Mexican cruis­ er* about." go the brig was kept on her course, and the scbnotM-r left to shift for herwlf.

Jack Sloan awore that sooner than Jerne hia two rifles he’d lose the schooner—that is, If he had to choose tie­ tween the two< and there fa no reason for doubting him. _ It was arrjngen that the brig should touch fir«t at the- mouth of the Rio Grande, and thru keep ou up to Graysou. and frirfn thence to Galvraton. On the following morning the schoemer was not to bi’ aeon, si»d from that time no more thought wa* given her. The wind bekl fresh and fair through the •fay. and Claw-Bee knew that they should ntak<- the land by the coming mid night.

The bo»t*was lowered and dr'tq-d to the gangway. Clarence ebuol) hand* with thow be was to Leave behind, sad thru went over the aide, Max and Sloan accompanying him. Finally jhe young man stood upon the bench, with Peter by hi* aide. ’ "I hope we shall meet again." he said, 'extending both his hauds—oue to Max and the other to Sloan. “We shall. I feel it in my bone*," ex­ claimed Max. shaking lhe hand he held vehemently. "I know we shall. It mayn’t be at sea. for I don’t go much; but we'll heave in sight aomeyrhere. May­ be on the plains of Texas—maybe on the mountains ot Mexico; and perhaps away in Califpray. But we’ll meet somewhere." “I sincerely hope ao," was Clarence’s warm response. "And' until that time comes may heaven bless you and youra. You may say in Galveston that I didn’t get you into a scrape without helping you-out of it.” “I will?’ "Adieu." Ere long after this the boat started back towards the brig, while Clarence Howard, throwing bfa bundle across hia shoulder, and bidding Peter to follow, turned away towards the country. There were gloom and danger ahe&d, but he faltered not. Hope lightened the former, and he had do fear for lue latter. CHAPTER XIII. Slowly and wearily Irene and Cassan­ dra moved on their way. - It was a long distance for them, in a strange way, and at'l) strange work; but they stopped not until tljey had reached the smail house witli the watering place before it. A few rods beyond this they walked, and then Cassandra proposed sitting down. “Let us more on to the turn," said Irene. "I am weak and weary. The dawn of day is close at hand, and we will not stop here. People may come out from this house.” So ou they moved. It was only quar­ ter of a mile further,.but it seemed a long, long distance to fitein. Every step now seemed but an expiring effort, and the fainting nerve* were busy only in carrying their messages of pain to the brain. But the corner was reached at length. Down the narrow path they turned, and at the distance of a few- rod* they popped beneath a large, sabino tree, nnd sank down upon the light turf. Irene St. Marc slept very soundly for awhile; but at length *he began to dream. She dreamed that sb* had done a murder —that she had struck her father with a dagger aud killed him. To avoid appre­ hension she hnd fled from her home, and was in a dcu*e wilderness, where the giant trees grew thick, and the under­ wood was rank ond matted. In her fright she turned to go back, when she was stopped short by finding a.gigantic alli­ gator directly before her—his monster jaws opened wide, and hia long, slurp teeth gleaming in the strange light that came from hl* glaring eyes. With a deep groan Irene started back and turned to flee. But lo! the way was closed up behind her. Where she was sure ahi- had before seen a narrow path she now found a tangled mass of cypress shoots and thorny vines; and wound all in among the dark foliage were Innumera­ ble serjwnts, whose slimy folds gleamed with horrid distinctness, and v;hose heads were raised ns if ready for a blow at the intruder. In her agony the wanderer turned again. The alligator had grown larger in bulk, flames of fire were issuing from hia mouth, aud she felt that she was burning up. Her face was hot—she was burning—burning—when a low sound seemed to issue from the monster's throat, and it distinctly pronounced her name. "Irene! Irene!” The maiden uttered a quick, sharp cry., and started up. She opened her eyes am! gazed about. For awhile she was com­ pletely blinded by the dazzling bright­ ness that surrounded her; but when she did get her eyes open she found the sun shining down hotly upon her, while Cas­ sandra. who sat by her side, held one of her hands, and was gaxing anxiously into her face. But this was not all she saw. Close by, and gazing earnestly upon her, stood a man. and a boy who held a couple of mule* by the halters. "What is it?” nskrtl Cassandra, anx­ iously. “You are not hurt?”• “No. no—but I had a drcam; O. a ter­ rible dream!" “So did I.” returned Cassandra, “I had a dreadful one, am! this man was jiwt in time to wake me out of it. We must hare slept a long while, for see­ the sun is far up in the heavens." The man still stood, only a few feet distant, gazing upon the two girls. He was a native Indian, towards the middli age of lije? aud very stout and strong. He was by no means a good-looking man, so far as Iteauty was concerned, but ho had a kind look, and Irene thought be gazed sympathizegly upon her. "Ladies.” he said, speaking in very good Spanish, "you will pardon me for waking you, but I found you here, and I knew the sun was burning you up. I passed this way very early thl* morn ing. just before daybreak, aud you were here then, fast asleep; so 1 knew you had slept about long enough. Ah. those robe* don't hide your sex by daylight.” "You were very kind, air," returned Irene, gaining courage from the stran­ ger's kind tone. “We walked all night, nearly, and were very tired when we reached hare." "Perhaps you came from the city?” ■aid the Indian, interrogatively. lre«u- be»itate<l. Tou need not fear me." the man aaid. “We did come from she city, aenor.", "And may I ask which way you are gotag?” "Why ntii trturt him?” whispered Caaxandrn. in her mfatma* ear. "Parhapa he fa going the same way we are, and in all probability will know where we go. No we had better !rwt him, for those iw-opte sridom betray one who engages their honor." "I will.” replied Irene; and turning to ibe stranger, she said: “There fa s native settlement beyond here. F think.” _ “Yrs. lady, over beyond tBe hill.” "We were going there.” "Ah, you know some one there?" “No. renor. But perhaps you do." Tea: I live there.” returned the man, uitfcu smite} "though here fa a boy wb« knows bin* perhaps better- than I do." The boy tfcus alluded tn was a bright, intelligcut-looking lad, about fourteen years of age, and'though rather alight in frame, yet muscular and agile. He gawd up with a quaint smile a* the man spoke, and the expression of his coun­ tenance wore a puzzled ithndv. ‘‘However,’' resumed the man, ‘’though the great book-makers say that a man can't find a more .difficult lesson than to learn himself, yet I fancy I have gained a good share of the knowledge. My name is Jacar Xanpa, and this Is my sou. Zeno.” Irene started to her feet at once, and every ahade of doubt teft her face. "Do you know the good priest Father Gonsales Rondo?” she asked. .The smile departed from Xanpa’s face, and a look of deep, prayerful gratitude took ita place. "Yea, lady,", he returned, it a low key. "I know him well. I am not one who makes long prayers, but I can pray for him." "Well, tenor, he directed us to seek J a car Xanpa. assuring us that he would not ooly give us shelter, but help us oth­ erwise a* well as his means would per­ mit." "Ay, and he told you truly," cried Xanpa, joyously. “Since that man stretched forth his hand and raved me from'an ignominious death, this fa the first time he has given me a commission to perform. But come—I have been away with a burden this morning, and you will find easy seats upon these broad pan­ niers.. Trust yourselves to me, and be assured that 1 will do all for you in nyr power." The girls needed no further urging. One of the mules had the regular basket pan­ nier upon his back—a wide basket of cane hanging down upon either side—and into these the fair travelers were assfated by the kind-hearted muleteer. They could sit quite comfortably in the baskets, and the mule seemed to take no heed of the new load his master had unexpectedly picked- up. The boy leaped upon the back ot the otter mute and went on ahead, myl his father followed, leading the loaded one. At length the village' was in sight. It was a collection of small cane huts, lo­ cated close by a small stream that came winding down from the distant moun­ tains. it was a pleasant place, shield­ ed from the hardest winds by high hills, and ornamented by a variety of handsome forest trees. Xanpn’s hut was close by ,the stream, and one of the most com­ fortable looking ones iu the place. When they readied the door, the girls were as­ sisted from their seats, and having given his son charge of the mules, the host conducted his fair companions into his dwelling, where he introduced them to his wife. She wai a bright-eyed, pleasant looking woman, not over fire-and-thlriy. and seemed much pleased with the pres­ ence of the newcomers. As soon as the girls were seated, the host called his wife outside, where they remained in conver­ sation some minutes. "You are at home.” the woman raid, returning, to Irene.

He did not return until near night, and just as he reached his house be found JHok Tude! there ready to enter. They shook hands quite cordially and then went in, going nt once to the boat’s private room. _ “My dear St Marc,” said Tudel, after they had taken seats, "I have got to go to Alvarado. I must start in the morn­ ing. early: and shall be back Bnnday evening. 1 thought I would just call and oe»' Irene before I went." “Certainly.” returned St. Marc. “Though T don’t suppose she will be anxious to see me. eh?" added Tudel, with a heartless smite. “Why—to speak the truth, 1 don’t think she will,” aaid St. Marc. "She is not very happy, and perhaps, ou the whole, it would be full as well if you let her re­ main in peace until you return.” "Ah—but I wish to see her; if you have no objections, I’ll go and bunt her up.” “O. certainly, jf you wish. You will probably tiud her iu her room." So Tudel started out. He was gone some ten or fifteen minutes, and then he returned. “Did you not find her?” asked St Marc. “Find her? No! Where fa ahe?" “Where is she?” repeated the host, in surprise. "What do you mean? Did you search tor her?” “Ay—I searched for her, and I inquired for her; and she has not been seen in the house to-day!” “Not seen—ebY’ returned St. Marc, starting to his feet. “O’, don’t attempt that," retorted Tu­ del, in a tone rather heavily spiced with suspicious sarcasm. “But tell me where she fa." “Tell you-where she la? Why, if ahe is not in the house, then I know nothing of her.” “Why did you prevent me from going to see u»-r?" Tudel asked, with a dubious look. "By the host, St. Marc, you must not think to fool me.” “But, my dear man, will yan not listen one moment? Who told you that Irene had gone?” “I don’t know what her name la—afaa’a one of your servant*.” “1*11 call them hither at once aud ques­ tion them. By my soul. I do not think she can have gone off.” Ax St. Marc thus spoke, he pulled lhe bell cord, and ere long oue of his ser­ vants came to the dpor. “Send every aoul Tn the house up here at once.” he ordered The man disappeared, and soon after­ ward* the act-rants began to file in.

B �NEW CABLE TO PHILtPPINES, MOMMSOM dUfcY DtSOHARtO: Fruit Storese Hom»e. The Vermont Station gives a descrip­ tion, with Illustration, of a frame stor­ age house In which low temjwrature and ventilation are provided by throw­ ing open doors and windows during cool spells in the fall and keeping them closed at other times. The house Is 30 by 50 feet and has two stories and base­ ment. The basement aud Grat floor arc used for storing fruit and bold 1,000 barrel* each. The second floor is for empty barrels, etc. The building has double walls and double windows. An oil stove.gives heat enough to keep thb fruit from freezing la winter. The lum­ ber used In the construction of this house was as follows: Three thousand five hundred feet wall boarding, 8.000 feet roof boarding. 3,500 feet celling (inside). 7,200 feet floor boards (double floors), 4.000 feet clap-boards, 25 bundles lath, and 22% squares alatei.

The la­ bor of building was performed by the owner at spare times. , Such storage buildings as the one Just described, which depends on the husbanding and utilisation of low tem­ perature during cold waves In early ►pring and fall, would not. of course, fulfill their purpose during the hot sum­ mer months. They are obviously best adapted to a cold climate, such as Is found In the Northern States. Here they can. In the opinion of the New Hampshire Station, be made more use­ ful in our present transitional period of storage construction than any other. Their defect Is that they do not main­ ullage t day with ten pounds of hay will give better results, than twenty pounds of bay. As those who have grown it for years say the cost when In the silo is from (2.50 per ton with Ixwt machinery up to $3.50 when much iiand labor is used, we think It 1* profit­ able for the farmer to put up his ensil­ age. ■ Keep the Boys on the Farm. A great deal of plausible advice has been given under this heading, which may or may not be practicable when applied to real life. But one secret of keeping the boys In the country home, nnd thus solving the abandoned farm problem,' is in arousing their interest nnd giving them some personal share In that farm, something which they can feel Is their own. and which will be theirs also when the time comes for Its sale. For this purpose nothing Is better than poultry raising. . Many a lx>y has become a successful poultry keeper by having a pair of bantam fowl given him when a child, and being made re­ sponsible for their care and keeping. Do not discourage the erode attempts of the boy, nor laugh at his enthusiasm, but tactfully point out the best way to accomplish the end he desires; show him how to care for bls little flock, and foster his interest in every way. Teach him aboutlhe nature and habits of the ben. and cultivate in him the faculty of careful observation. As the boy grows op, his interest wit. deepen, and when tbe time comes that boys are tempted away from the farm by the attractions of city life, he will be unwilling to leave tbe business which he has built up and which be finds profitable. Give him occasionally a pair of fancy fowl; encourage him to exhibit at the fair and to tnke^a pride In tbe condition of the feathered com­ munity under his care. A subscription to a good poultry jour­ nal or live farm paper. If he Is at all Inclined to reading, will help to stimu­ late bls Interest. If tbe boy, the aver­ age country *»y. has a pleasant, mon­ ey-making employment, he will not of­ ten desire to leave the farm; and that employment may often b< found In poultry raising. It Is a business which Is never likely to be overcrowded. En­ courage the boys: they are tbe life blood of New England.—Maine Farmer. Clean Milk. Ttf secure cleanliness In milking the American Agriculturist suggests a wooden hoop a little smaller than the Wtop of the milk pall Put a square of cheesecloth over tbe top of the pall and hold in In place by the hoop, ns shown. This is an aid to cleanly pail covsr. milking and can be made in ten minutes. Tbe cloth should be washed after each milking, when it will be ready for use again. This sim­ ple device will do Just as well as the tin tops that come ready to be adjusted to the topsBarnyard ot the milk palls, and the Phed*. homemade cost nothing. We once affair knew will a man who decided tbat he would make a tight board fence on tbe north and east sides of bls barnyard to protect tbe cattle from the wind, as It would cost but tittle mon* than any other snug fence. When this was done be found that a little expense would roof over die fijmee between the fence at one side nad end and the build­ ing. Then he bad a shed, not quite water tight, for he did not shingle It, but battened the cracks, where the cat­ tle could stand while be -was cleaning out the stables and spreading the bed­ ding In a stormy day, and longer when the sun shone Into it, and they were much more comfortable. It was nleaslug to see how the cattle would gather In that shed after they had drank, while waiting for the door to open that they might go Into the barn. The ex­ pense was small and was more than re­ paid by the comfort of tbe cattle, and probably by saving of food, though the farmers of those .dkys did not carry their experiments on as scientifically and get results as exactly as the exper­ iment stations do now. When they thought a new method paid they did tain a sufficiently low and even tem­ not figure tbe profit down to fractions perature, and they would be of little of a cent—American Cultivator. use In a warm climate.

Castle and Miss Wiley were married Jane 13. aud June 22, nine days after the wedding, Miss Morrison called on the bride. Accounts vary as to what oc­ curred during her brief stay iu the home of the Castles. However, the two wom­ en had a duel with a raxoru the young bride’s throat being cut. When the neigh­ bors rushed in they found Mrs. Castle lying in a pool of her own blood and Jetwie Morrison bending over her with a razor clasped in her band. Miss Morri­ son's story was to the effect tbat she had called on Mrs. Castle, had been ac­ cused of being an enemy and led into a quarrel. She claimed that Mrs. Castle went to a bureau drawer, took out a razor and advuncetbwlth It open. In the struggle which followed. Miss Morrison said, she was cut by Mrs. Castle in the neck and arm. What became of the razor ahe said she did not know. Imme­ diately after the trouble Miss Morrison was arrested and released on bah. After Mrs. Castle's death she was again ar­ rested and charged with murder. GROWTH OF THE OLEO BUSINESS Daring the Tear 104,0*0,000 Pounds Were Sold in the United Btates. More than 5.000,000 tanners rigaed pe­ titions asking that the Grout bill govern­ ing the sale ot oleomargarine be passed by Congress,* while tbe makers of imita­ tion butter, who are both rich and influ­ ential, did their best to defeat it. As indicating tbe enormous growth of tbe oleomargarine business la the last few years it Is stated that during the last year 104,000,000 pounds ot “oleo’’ were sold in tbe United States, much of it un­ der false preteases as geauiae butter. This was a jump of 25.000,000 pounds over the sales of the previous year. Dur­ ing the last year also the number of oleo­ margarine factories in tbe United States has increased from seventeen to twentysix. In thirty-two States*of the Union there are now in existence laws which absolutely prohibit the manufacture of oleomargarine colored to imitate butter. Notwithstanding these laws, however, no less than 80,000,000 pounds of the imita­ tion butter were sold in tbe States re­ ferred to during the last year. The Grout bill makes the tax on oleo­ margarine a part ot the internal revenue tax of the Federal government. Where tbe State laws are Dot enforced it is safe to say that the Federal, statute would be, as tbe tax would be collected at the fac­ tory. Under the provisions of tbe Grout bill it is not proposed to hinder or Inter­ fere with the sale of “oleo" when offered GROWTH or OLKO Bt'BIXKSB.

The United States will soon have ca­ ble communication with the Philippine Islands and the ]>eopie hereabouts may learn with greater facility than Is dow possible details of Aguluuldo's efforts to win tbe sprinting championship of tbe world. For some time the difficulty of communication between die Islands lias seriously hampered American oper­ ation* lu the Philippines and has been the subject of complaints to the govern­ ment from Gen. Otis, Gen. MacArthur and other officers. It was obvious that some method of quick communication must be put Into operation, as the dis­ patches harried by the warships were In many cases too slow of delivery to be practicable. As Ax>n as this Impor­ tant undertaking of laying a cable had been decided nj>on the War Department set about finding a suitable vessel In the transport service. The transport Burn­ side was chosen on account of her Large capacity and her shallow draught In proportion to her size. She is tbe first cablesblp ever owned by the United States. The Burnside was formerly owned by Spain and named tbe Rita. She was captured during tbe war by tbe Yale while trying to run the blockade off Porto Rico with a’cargo of arms and ammunition, towed to Charleston, .S. C„ and there taken charge of by Capt. Lachin, her present commander, re­ named and put into commission* first as a transport carrying mules and gen­ eral government stores to Cuba and afterward as a troopship.

OWN ** Widow ot an Illinois Man Secure* Hl* Estate by Peculiar Course of Rea*onInw-AHeKed Bank Euibrozler from Colorado Fop nd in Mexico. Through a peculiar holding of . the court* James HartweH of Albion. III., has been declared bis own grandfather at Binghamton, N. Y. The discussion that brought out this peculiar relation arose over the disposition of $175. In 1897 there lived at Albion, Ill., a widow nam­ ed Swan and a young man named James HartweH. The widow wa* 40 and the man 21, but they fell in love and were married. Last year he died, leaving a clause iu his will bequeathing $175 to "my grandfather, James Hartwell, and in event of hl* death it shall revert to my wife." The wife auccceded after le­ gal advice in cutting out the living grand­ father on the following interpretation: James HartweH, her husband, wa* dead, and James Hartwell,- his grandfather, was living, but James Hartwell was his own ^raudfather. so lhe money reverted to her. James Hartwell, her husband, was his father’s father-in-law because hi* father married her daughter. Her hus­ band's father's father-in-law is her ma­ ternal grandfather, therefore her husband is his own father's father-in-law and is the same as his grandfather, and, being dead, entitled to the amount of the be­ quest.

BOERS INVADE CAPE COLONY. ALLEGED VICTIM OF HAZING. WORK OF A dispatch from Cape Town snys 700 Colony into Cape Colony, near Allwal North, aud have reached Kaapdal. The object for which the Boer* have been ■criving for weeks is tbu* accomplished, and it i* feared that tbe embers of dis­ affection which have been smoldering in Cape Colony will be fanned into open hostility and a general rising throughput the eolony J* not impossible. The inability of tbe British army to trap De Wet and the disaster at th* 'Magallesberg, together with the capture of a part of Brabant’* horse, have thrown the British war ofllce into a condition bordering on panic.

Monday morning in the Supreme Court of the United States began one of the most interesting aud important debates that has been held before that tributra! fur year*, and^the principle involved is whether the constitution of the United State* follow* the flag; or, in other words, whether the Filipinos and Porto Rican* are citizen* of the United State*, or, of not, what their relation is to this government. Attorney General Griggs argued tbe negative. Ex-Secretary Car­ lisle, Charles H. Aldrich of Chicago, Wil­ liam Edmund Curtis of New Yorl> and other famous lawyers spoke In tbe af­ firmative. The question come* before the court on n remonstrance against the pay­ ment of duties upon goods imported from Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands and involves the constitutionality of the Porto Rican law that was passed last acMion. It wlH be remembered that the committee of way* and mean* submitted to the House <rf Representative* a report declaring that neither Porto Rico nor Ha­ waii nor the Philippines nor Alaska nor Arizona nor any of the other territories were part of the United States, and that Congrcn had tbe right to establish cus­ tom house* on their borders, notwith­ standing tiiat clause in the constitution that forbid* embargoes upon the comxn^ce between the Statv*. ( This is one of the greatest cases that the nation's highest tribunal has ever considered; greater than the Dred Scott case, greater than tbe legal tender case, greater than the income tax case.

J $ 6 tt** $ 11 fc $ s s s s Beer sustained a defeat in the final round-up of vojc* in committee of the whole House Friday evening, first, when Mr. Newland* of-Nevada offered an amendment ratting the war tax on that product to 11.20 per barrel, and again when Mr. Barthold of Missouri officred an amendment making the. tax $1.50 flat. The Newlands amendment was defeated by a vote of 74 to 119 and tbe Barthold amendment by 04 to 139. The ways and means committee provision for a redur tion of 20 per cent, or a flat tax of $1.00 per barrel, as reported by Chairman Payne, was adopted. -The most startling action of the committee in its discussion of the war tax bill was the adoption by a vote of 123 to 106 of an amendment in­ troduced by Representative Henry C. Smith of Michigan providing for the res­ toration of the stamp tax ou express re­ ceipts, and also providing that the ex­ press companies should pay the tax. Ten millions a minnte was the new rec­ ord established by the House on Saturday in disputing of appropriation bills. The bill providing $145,245,000 to pay pen­ sions during the’ fiscal year. 1902, was considered in committee of the whole, re­ ported to and passed by the House in fifteen minutes. There was no debate, save a brief statement by Barney (Rep.. Wit.) to the effect that the bill contained no new legislation, and was, in fact, a lit­ eral copy of the law for the current year. Earlier in the day the new delegate from Hawaii, It. W. Wilcox, appeared and was sworn in. Then the bill to reduce war revenue taxes was passed, the measure leaving the House as It was recommend­ ed by the committee on ways and means. The reimposition of the tax on express receipts made Friday iu the committee of the whole was not approved by the House, the amendment being rejected -on a yea and nay vote. 125 to 139. A motion to recommit, with instructions to frame the revenue by $7,000,000, and to frame an income tax. was defeated. 131 to 155. Monday was suspension day nnd the House passed 102 private pension bills. Passed bills to divide Kentucky and West Virginia Into two’judicial districts and to create another district judge in the northern district of Ohio. By n vote of 51 to 105 defeated a bill to give old sol­ dier* and-sailors preference in the matter of Federal appointments. Passed a bill to place »Congres»man Charles A.

Ircvoted rest of day to .consideration of Senate bill to change terminal facilities of Pennsylvania Rail­ road Company in Washington and ele­ vate its tracks across the Mali, south of Pennsylvania avenue. Bill was anUg onixed on ground tbat it gave the road thirty-four and one-half acres of govern­ ment land aud would destroy scheme to beautify the Mall from capital to Wash­ ington monument. The House on Wednesday at the end of a spirited contest extending over two days passed bills to compel the Pennsyl­ vania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads to abolish grade crossings, to alter their routes into tbe city and to change their terminal facilities. An amendment was placed upon the Pennsylvania bill to re­ quire tbe road to build n new station to cost not less than $1,500,900. Ths bills were vigorously antagonized by a portion of the ininmtfty under tbe leadership of Mr. Cowherd <Mo.», on the ground that they were too liberal to the roads. SENATE. Soon after tbe Senate convened on Fri­ day Mr. Allison, chairman of tbe com­ mittee on approgriatioris, reported from that committee the House resolution pro­ viding for a holiday recess ot Congress beginning Friday, Dec. 21, aud extending to Thursday, Jan. 3. and it was passed. The President pro tern.. Mr. Frye, an­ nounced the abpoiutment by authority of the resolution adopted two /ays before of Senators Hanna of Ohio, Spooner of Wisconsin and Jones of Arkansas to make the necessary arrangements for the Inauguration of the President of lhe UnSled States on tbs 4th ot March next. Most of the day waa spent in secret ae»slou on the Hny-Pnunccfote treaty. In the Senate on Saturday notice was given by Nelson (Rep., Minn.) that he would on Jan. 12 next submit resolutions a* to bis deceased colleague, Mr. Davis. After some routine morning business the Senate at 12:25 o’clock went into execu­ tive session on the Hay-Paunccfot* treaty. ■ The Senate won in executive session practically all day Monday over the HayPauncefote treaty, and Senators Money and Mason occupied the time in making speeches upon tbe treaty. Senator Money’s speech was a flat protest against the entire proceeding in connection with the treaty. He talked for two hours, contending for the right of the United States to act in this matter independently of other nations. Senator Mason spoka in support of his suggested amendment authorising the United States to defend tbe canal as it may deem proper in cast it construct* the canal. Just before ad­ journing an agreement was reached to take a vote upon the treaty on Thursday. Five treaties were ratified by tbe Sen ate Tuesday in secret session. The most important was a treaty with England extending the time for tbe ratification of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Although the fact was not known outside of diplomatie circles, the time for tbe ratification of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty expired five months ago. and the treaty until this ac­ tion of the Senate was in reality dead. The convention ratified extends tbe time of the acceptance of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty by the United States until March 4. The otb* treaties ratified are extra­ dition treaties with Chili and Bolivia and treaties extending the time for the ac­ ceptance of the reciprocity treaties with Bnrbadoes and Argentina. The remainder of tbe day was spent in consideration of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in executive session. On Wednesday the Senate passed House resolution authorizing President McKinley to appoint Congressman Bouteile (Maine) captain on retired list of die navy. Passed urgent deficiency bill. Passed bills giving pensions of $50 monthly to widows of Gras. John M. Palmer and John A. McClcrnaud.

They then hung both negroes and riddled their bodies with bullet*. Sunday morning at 1:30 o’clock, a* H. 8. Simon* was going from his barber shop in Rockport, Ind., to hi* home, he was waylaid by two negroes and brutally murdered. Suspicion pointed to the two negroes,' Frank Rowland and. "Jim” Henderson. They hnd been seen together the evening before. Henderson had for­ merly been a porter and bootblack in Si­ mons’ barber shop, and had been dis­ charged some time ago for petty thieving. Bloodhounds were telegraphed for and put on the track. With..their assistance both negroes were captured, and locked In jail. When darkness came a mob of 500 men gathered, surrounded tbe jail, broke into it with picks and iron bars, shot Henderson to death in his ceil, and then took Rowland and the lifeless body into the court house yard. There they tied a rope around Rowland's neck. Rowland hurriedly confessed that he and Hender­ son bad murdered Simon* for bi* money. Rowland and tbe dead body of Hender­ son were then strung up to a tree and volley lifter volley from shotguns, pistols and Winchesters fired into the swaying bodies. Simons was 30 year* old. a good ciri•en and a popular man. He had a wife and two «amall children. His wife is crazed with grief and may die from the shock. The speedy capture of tbe men was due to the prompt diaclosure of the crime. A countryman happened to be going along the atreet on his way home where tbe murdered man lay and heard terrible blow* being dealt Simons with clubs. He gave tbe alarm and the negroes made for him. He saved his own life by putting spurs to hia horse and galloping to the main part of the town, where be sum­ moned a posse to the acene of the murder.

HOW MICHIGAN VOTED An attempt was made Thursday after­ noon to have the Legislature adjourn finally the next day without taking any action on the taxation bills, but-It was signally defeated iu the House. Senator Brown of Knlamasoo. offered a resoiutiou to this effect, incidentally Hearing Gov. Pingree for convening the extra session, charging that there is no such emergency as the constitution contemplates, and that he Is putting a burden upon the peo­ ple simply to gratify a personal ambition. After Lieut. Gar. Robinson had ruled this feature out of order the resolution was adopted by a vote of 17 to 11. .-The House tabled it by an overwhelming vote and then proceeded to order the bill* in the hand* of the committee reported for final action. The House also voted down a recommendation that joint hearing be had by the two houses, and that the rep­ resentatives of railroad and other corpo­ rations be invited to discus* tbe bills. The ad valorem tax bill, which applies to the property of telegraph, telephone, railroad and express companies, was un­ der discussion in the committee of the whole in the House for three hours on Friday. The leaders who had charge of it would not permit it -to be amended in any essential particular, voting down proposition* to include palace nnd sleep­ ing car and steamboat compatiie* in Its provision* and to exempt express com­ panies, which will pay a greater revenue to the State under the specific tax sys­ tem now? iu force. On the final passage of the bill the vole stood 69 yens to 13 nays and it was sent to the Senate lust as it wa# introduced in the House. The Senate met at S o’clock Monday night in adjourned ueaalon nnd at once proceedcfl to a consideration of the blan­ ket taxation measure passed by the House on Friday taxing railroads and other corporation* at nd valorem valua­ tions.

Caswell has made bi* annual report for the year end­ ed Nov. 30. to Gov. Pingree. The report *hows that 56 firm* are engaged in the industry, operating 60 salt blocks and 1,000 ralar salt cover*. The productuni by districts is ns follows: Saginaw, 418,­ 653 barrels; Ray. 404.055; St. Clair, 509. 770; Iosco. 34,021; Msni»tre, 2.253.760; Mason. 778,654; Wayne, 370,912. Grand total, 4,738,085 terrels. The net gniu for thotyear was 5,416 barrels. The man­ ufacture of salt in Michigan began in 1800, when 4,000 barrels were produced. Front 1800 to 18<59 there was no Inapec-/ tion law. Up to that time 3,382,081 bar­ rels had been manufactured. In I860, the first year of the inspection law, the amount manufactured was 501,288 bar­ rels, and there has been a gradual in­ crease each year until n total of 4,733,t*85 barrels was reached in 1900. The grand total of all salt manufactured in Michigan since 1800 is 91.413,483 bar­ rels. The report also shows that many new blocks are being erected, and that old ones are bciag improved. Two more long-term convicts have been granted pardons hy Gov. Pingree. Fred Cotie, who was ritnt from Calhoun Coun­ ty in Juiy. 1808, to Ionia prison for five year* for highway robbery. and Fred Niles, who was convicted in Geneeee County in April, 185*7, were given their liberty.

The work of the State tax commission shows some' interesting data relative to lhe taxes of 1899 mid 1900, especially the difference between the amounts levied on personal property. In 1809 the average1 rate was $21.16, and the amount of per*onnl taxes collected was $3,004,950.58. Fur the present year the rate ia $15.47, nnd the amount of personal taxes levied is $5,0^0,758.95, a difference of $1,996,­ 802.37. Increase in assessed valuation of the real and personal property in the State for 1900 over that of 1809, is <349,26**.IM I. For 1900, the assessed val­ uation of real and personal property amounts to $1,317,450,028, while tbe val­ uation as equalized by the boards of su­ pervisor* is $1.249,884,029. On principle the two should l»e the same, but the low equalised valuation is accounted for by rhe fact that the State Board of Equal­ ization meet* next year for the purpose of equalizing the valuations between the counties of the State, upon which valua­ tion will be apportioned the State taxes for the five years. In consequence of this the Superrisors try to keep their val­ uations us low as possible. In 1896 tbe valuation as equalized by the State Board amounted to $1,105,000,000.
