The horses have been well groomed and both political parties are confident of winning the great race on November the 4, 1902. We have been handed the following list of horses by our book-master who says that they are safe to bet your money on and are known as speeders from the word "go" until the wire is reached. We believe beyond all question of a doubt that we give you a true tip when we say the following are "winners." Mayor W. H. Craddoek for Governor. Hon Nosh Bowman for Congress mas in the second district. Hon J. D. Waters for Sheriff of Wandwick county. Hon. D. E. Cornell for Treasurer. Hon. Jao. E. McFadden for County Attorney. Hon. Mason S. Peters for Probate judge Hon E A. Knight for Representa- tive 10th district. Hon R. L. Marshman for County commissioner of the 1st district. F. H. Holcomb, County clerk On these the booking will be made. Now in the effort to get on the band wagon and listen to the delightful streams of music, take one list of win- ners. They don't tell it all. The Kansas Record, the youngster in this city seems to have a special go at Mayor W. H. Craddock the next governor of Kansas. It rehashed last week an old tale of one that has been going the rounds of the Republican press about Craddock and the old soldiers. In telling of the awful treatment accorded the old soldiers, the Record failed to tell what Craddock had done for the race in Kansas City, Kansas. One might ask what has the Republicans ever done for the old negro soldiers? What Republican mayor has ever picked out the old soldiers of color and give them a job in preference of some one else? In dealing with a man who is so honestly conscientious is doing right we like for all the good deeds done be told with the bad if there any. If the old soldiers would do or had done right by Mayor Craddock he would have done the same by them. The old boy's club an organization of old soldiers and men who voted for Lincoln and Freemont were the bittest fighters against Mayor Craddock a year ago, yet it is expected that he is to accord them places under him for having fought him. The old soldiers of either color that have been known to have stood by Mayor Craddock in his municipal battle were remembered. Ww, voters of Kansas, should not be minded in scheming politicians and one sided news papers. Whatever may be said of Mayor Craddock the people's candidate for Governor, it cannot be said that he is anything else but a gentleman of the highest type. He has endeavored to do right and has done right as far as the people would let him. the killing of patrolman Morris and Stone and probably the death of watchman Minckey certainly ought to awaken the people to a few sober thoughts. When our police officers are shot down in a manner like Stone and Morris, it should be time for action but the law should be allowed to take its course, if it has a course whereby punishment can be meted in a measured way. THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Peculiarities in Life A Negro as a rule hates to see another rise. So many Negroes believe a white man's mouth is a prayer book. It's funny that a white man can stand on the street and converse with a Negro Woman and its alright. But let a Negro man stand on the street and converse with a white Woman and every other white man that pass is mad or crazy to know what is being said. Seems strange that so many parents want their children to be models of morality when they themselves are the blackest of examples. I am laughable to believe that white men don't want Negroes to differ in their views like they do. TOPEKA.

Sheriff of Wyandotte County, Kansas --- Stones were formed into the shapes of beetles by the ancient Egyptians. They regarded the beetle as an emblem of immortality, and hence it was the most popular of all forms of ornament. Counterfeit beetles of common stones were commonly buried with dead persons, and it was customary to engrave upon them the expression of wishes for future repose and happiness, dedications of the soul to God and various hieroglyphs. One of the latter was a hawk with a human head, symbolizing resurrection. Another, the vulture, meant maternity. A goose was the son of a king. "She had just refused a man worth a million." "Is it possible? Any rational explanation of her act?" "Oh, yes. She had just accepted another man worth a million." Blobbs—Do you consider it good luck to pick up a pin?

The old man declares that the attendants kick and cuff the patients about and treat them in a brutal and inhuman manner. His relatives will begin suit against the institution for damages. Moses Redhead, 72 years of age and one of the oldest employees of the Missouri Pacific road in Atchison in the capacity of car repairer, was perhaps fatally injured late Thursday afternoon. While repairing a car in the yards, one car "kicked" the car which he was repairing, throwing the old man under the wheels and severing one leg from his body above the knee, besides injuring his arms. It is thought that he is injured internally, also. "Te most peculiar experience I ever had," remarked one of Puxsutawney's well known hunters the other day, was one day when I was out in the mountains hunting. While watching a crossing to shoot a deer, a thunder shower came up. A moment later a fine big deer came in sight, running like a streak. I drew a bead on him and fired, but the powder in my flintlock had gotten wet, and the gun did not go off. To my amazement, however, the deer fell dead just as I pulled the trigger. The animal had been struck by lightning. I ran to it at once and cut its throat. That," continued the old hunter, "happened more than 40 years ago, and I never told it before because I thought nobody would believe me." "You were right," replied a listener, "and you have made a mistake in not waiting 40 years longer to tell the story."-Puxsutawney Spirit. He was a tiny little fellow, surely not more than 5 years old, and as he called for his afternoon papers at the corner of Twelfth and Market streets many people gazed at him with mingled amusement and pity. He had long brown curls, wet with the drenching rain, and his shrill little voice had a baby lisp. A very stout, elderly woman, apparently weighing close to 200 pounds, paused at the south side of Market street and looked askance at the miniature river of slush and water, and at the passing procession of wagons and trolley cars. The little newsboy was quick to size up the situation. Running up to her he exclaimed: "Don't be afraid, lady. I'll help you across." Reaching up his tiny little hand he clutched by the arm, and together the ridiculous pair treaded their way to the opposite curb. Then the stout woman opened her purse gravely handed the little fellow a coin and disappeared into the Reading Terminal—Philadelphia Record. Riches cause arrogance; poverty meekness. Love, thieves and fear make ghosts. At a certain military station a company of soldiers were drawn up for pay. Private Jones was called in. The paymaster exclaimed: "Jones, £5 15s." The officer asked him what he was going to do with it. He replied: "Buy a bicycle, sir." Smith was then called in and paid 4½d. The officer asked him what he was going to do with it, when he replied: "Buy oil for Jones' bicycle, sir."—London Spare Moments. "No," admitted the girl with the auburn hair; "I don't know what ails him. He hasn't called for two weeks." "Were you doing that pyrographic landscape on the big piece of sheepskin when he called last?" asker her brother. "Yes." "Well, that's where you burnt out your fuse."—Chicago Tribune. Trouble is like money. It is better to save it than to browwish it. "Poke their health must be predicated." "It is, their own two automobiles." --- OKLAHOMA BRIEFS An artesian well is being sunk at Ada. The secretary of the interior has approved a requisition for ten more bridges for Comanche county. Over 2,000 cars of cattle, comprising about 50,000 head, have been shipped out of the Osage nation so far this season. The Denver, Enid & Gulf railroad has secured the right of way to Guthrie from Crescent City and has platted the townsites. The comptroller of the currency has authorized the State National bank, of Shawnee, to begin business, with a capital of $100,000. The first new town on the Oklahoma extension of the Katy railroad has been named Hagerman, in honor of the general solicitor of the road. Public schools in Oklahoma City opened Monday, September 8. The enrollment was 2,443, an increase of 700 over the enrollment on the first day of last year. Prairie chickens are more plentiful in Oklahoma and Indian Territory this fall than for a long time. A party of hunters from Guthrie bagged 200 in a three days' hunt. Asher, Pottawatomie county, and Mountain View, Kiowa county, have raised purses of $1,000 to be disbursed this fall by way of inducing farmers to come to those cities to trade. Pond Creek Vidette: Occasionally one reads of a printer being robbed of $12, or thereabouts. Readers should not confound editors with printers in these instances. Printers sometimes have as much as $12. The county commissioners of Pottawatomie county have appointed Fred Reilley to fill the unexpired term of County Attorney L. G. Pitman, resigned. Mr. Reilley is a popular young attorney of the Shawnee bar. An old farmer named James Loveall, living near Stroud, Lincoln county, has found several nice specimens of gold and copper ore on his farm and thinks he has a bonanza. A company is being organized to more thoroughly investigate the matter. Lahoma Sun: A band of strolling Cheyennes under the control of a white man, gave a war dance, corn dance, peach dance or some other kind of a dance, in this city Tuesday night. They failed to get rich off the city, as the city council was in session and proved the greatest attraction. Mrs. B. S. McGuire will accompany her husband next week in his congressional campaign. Mrs. McGuire has taken an active part in Oklahoma politics ever since the Republican nominating convention at Enid, where she solicited the support of county delegates in behalf of her husband. J. W. Williams is in jail at Lawton charged with shooting J. R. Welsh. Both are prominent cattlemen. They live in the mountains, sixty miles northwest of Lawton. Sunday they quarreled about some cattle. Finally Williams opened fire, slightly wounding Welsh. Sheriff George Foster of Noble county shot and killed James Sydon, an attack of the Buckskin Bill Wild West show, which was in Perry. Sydon is alleged to have attempted to rob a hotel and Foster was called to arrest him. Sydon pulled a gun, but the sheriff fired first, inflicting fatal wounds. A card in the man's pocket stated he was a member of the miners' union at Coalgate, I. T. Reports indicate that the wheat yield in Oklahoma is double that expected, and will be from twenty to thirty-five bushels an acetate yield will be from thirty to fifty bushels an acetate. The fruit yield has been abundant, so much so that it is unsalable. Generally, this has been the most prosperous year in Oklahoma's history. The wheat yield in Garfield county alone will reach 3 million bushels. INDIAN TERRITORY BRIEFS Henry Smith, 18 years old, has been arrested and taken to Wewoka, charged with killing William Chitwood, 15 years old, near Violet Springs. Ok. Trouble grew out of a revolver trade between the boys and Smith shot Chitwood. James Williams, a blacksmith of Sallisaw, walked off of the rear end of the Iron Mountain train at Cherokee station and fell through a trestle into a creek. The train was stopped and the trainmen fished Williams out of the water almost dead. Williams was injured internally and sustained a broken arm, and may not recover. The accident occurred before daybreak and it is supposed Williams was walking in his sleep. The wife of Wu Tung Fang, will be greatly missed in Washington. Many oriental women have resided there who are pleasantly remembered, but none of her sisters from the East succeeded in making an impression on society such as Mrs. Wu has made. The Tracy Council, United Order of Train Robbers and Second Story Men, was in session. "I move that we expel 'Slugshot Bill' for disgraceful conduct in his last train robbery." "In what way?" chorused the honorable members. "Why, him and his gang were foolish enough to waste time trying to hold up and rob the passengers on a train coming from a summer resort."—Baltimore Herald. Good wine ruins the purse, and bad the stomach. "I trust, Miss Cutting," remarked young Borem, as he rose to depart after a prolonged stay, "that I have not taken up too much of your valuable time."

Sold by dispenser CONSUMPTION There is a growing demand for educated men and women. The time when it was thought that the professional man alone needed an education the business man—the merchant, the farmer, the laborer—the cook with, but with the elements of an education. But times have changed. In all cupations we now find a young man we man with a liberal education than one who more ready employment than one who is comparatively illiterate. The literary tone of it should be. The literary tone of it is being elevated. A college mind is available in itself—it makes the laborer, in any occupation, transform drudgery into Education is not: men, technicians training; it is this, but more. To support our schools we must sole purpose of fitting our youth to more readily earn a living—that a competence—is to deceive a rostlebest institutions. Education is the cipline, if it is anything. The child may never be compelled to earn a living, but it must live in a society, a citizen. The power of thought and of heart and of purpose must be directed. Character must be developed, strength must be developed, gentlemen must women must grown in our our Lord Badenburg field said: "After all, there is an education like adversity." The solution of the much desired sociological problems rests with public educators. If our schoolsduce men and women of heart and science as well as of intellectuals of commercial ability, these problems will need no future solution. Our education must be Christian, not denominational, not doctrinal, ethical. We must recognize the things of Jesus as essential to the well-being of individual and of the child. The perpetuation and the perfecting our free institutions is dependent on an education that makes character cornerstone. To entirely eliminate the Bible from our schools is a huge blunder. Twentieth century education should account of the one book that is inspiration of all enabling literature and art. Not to know the Bible, the fore, is to fail in appreciating much the literature that is prominent studied in the schools. The Bible is worthy of study for its own literary value. None of David and Paul are the peers of Jesus and Homer and Shakespeare—not mention Jesus himself and the most revelation of St. John. The teacher, at least, must be versant with the ethical teaching the Bible. He must himself be provided by its spirit. One that is best not controlled by the moral principles that have their basis in the ten mandments, the Sermon on the Man and the Lord's Prayer, is unqualified to shape the character of our children. We, as Christian citizens of America dare see to it that those to whom we have been the most competent to perform their delusional task. This is not claiming too much to claim less is to concede to us the Atheistic minority the perogative shaping the educational policy and moral culture of a nation. The Nation Reform Association has suggested the propriety of settlings apart the second Sabbath in September as a day of prayer for public and private schools. There are about 17,000 school children in the last great army—and they are just entering upon the fall campaign there was ever a worthy object of prayer, the schools deserve first play I am pleading for an intelligent terest in our schools on the part parents and of citizens. Teachers are our encouragement and our tion—so do school boards. To our children is no right task and conscientious teacher feels the reliability. They deserve the most port of all good people—the prayers the church. Our public schools are our purpose. They are the one institution on which depends the life of Memorial-Americanism. The character of the teacher, the moral and intellectual mosphere of the schoolroom and considerate interest of good citizens are the factors that go to make schools the power for good they are.

"There he is," said they, echoing the sentence of their elders, "living alone on a fine farm like his own, a big bank account, a figure like that of the strong man at the accuser, a face handsome as his叔's at the theater, going to meet." Dear, dear! What can the man mean?" The answers to this question were two in number. One, he was bashful—so bashful that the mere thought of coming to close quarters with a girl filled him with horror; the other, he cherished in secret an affection for the daughter of a grain-buyer in the town of Riverton, at whose home he lived, and on a number of occasions the grain-buyer and the growers of the community were left to sell. The girl had been most gradual to James; indeed, she had shown him marked attentions; and so impressed was he by her charms, which really were many, that he dreamed of her by night and thought of her by day until he was quite unable to dream intelligently upon any other subject. He knew she was not for him, because even had he possessed the courage necessary to an avowal of his passion, he could not have hoped to compete with her other suturers, who were men of polish and education. He was aware that there were many of these suturers. He was surprised that there were not more. He could not understand why the whole world of men, who were not so unfortunate as to have contracted alliances prior to seeing her as he would gladly have done had he dared. The week he scanned the list of marriage licenses published in the Riverton News, his heart pounding like a runaway trip-hammer until the fact was established that she was still untainted. Then he sighed from the very bottom of his mighty lungs and wondered how long his happiness would last. Think of that! The simple consciousness that she was married to no one else was happiness to him. No, there is a theory held by many people of intelligence that matches are made in heaven. It does not look altogether reasonable in the light of history, yet it must be admitted that the holdings of the theory have much in the way of isolated instances to stand against. Love making is not always necessary. Love making is not so souls upon the street or at a dinner table is sometimes sufficient to accomplish everything needful up to the drawing of the contract. As a matter of fact, the grain-buyer's daughter had fallen in love with James Murchison the first time she saw him — he was so big and handsome and rich dependable and altogether different from the men. But fortunately James did not know this. Had he known it the change in the would he have sold out and run away as he could to end his days in misery and the north woods, where he owned a nice bit of land. Such a blessed thing is ignorance. It was his custom during the game season to carry with him, when he went to his work in the fields, a shotgun—an old-fashioned, muzzle-loading piece which he had owned as a boy; and one afternoon he discovered that his supply of shot was exhausted. Therefore he went down the road towards a neighbor's, intending to borrow a handful. Nothing warned him of his fate; not only caused him to change his course; he strode, straight to the end of his agony—for love, especially unspoken love, is that and nothing else. he had just stopped foot upon the bridge which crosses SINGER river from up from the stream he heard the sound of women in distress. His instinct told him that they were in distress; otherwise he would not have known of the language of women had been as soiled book to him. He stopped, listening. And while he stood there a feeling form in white came into his vision, and a choke came into his throat, and a tremble came into his limbs. The form was that of the grainbearer's daughter, and behind her, perhaps a hundred foot, a dog—an angry, yellow beast with the glare of madness in his eyes and the froth of madness dripping from his snapping teeth. girl saw James, and involuntarily she extended her arms towards him. She extended onlain the last vestige of self-consciousness from the man. He forgets everything except that she, the old of his dreams, was in danger. But he did not move. Other men would have dashed and meet her in an abortive attempt at recue. They would have ried out, but he was silent. Quickly he dropped the stock of his arm to the bride, and rammed in a double charge of trower. Time was precious—merciful heaven, how prey it was! He had an arm so no pebbles in the dusty road, and leap by leap the dog was gaining at girl whose strength was nearly spent. What could he do? A certain writer, accepted as an authority by a major portion of the civilized world, has stated that only when a crisis confronts him does a man bring forth the best qualities which are with him: a crisis the only real test of character. And in this crisis the character of James Murchison was proven let alone. he understood that not even his nearest friend was aware that James. Marthaison's upper teeth were false. He had marioned the truth as an insult and marioned his love. He was much in shock when his teeth were worn he. He did not hesitate now he. He did not hesitate now put his foot upon it, breaking the livories from their setting. He poured them into the gun. He almed. The teeth of the dog were in the hem of the girl's gown when he fired. The dog fell, rolling over. An incisor had endured the eye, penetrating the crazed brain. When, a moment later the other girls of the picnic party approached, they found a big, handsome farmer, without upper teeth, holding a girl's head his knee and gently bathing it with a bandanna handkerchief wet with the water of Singing river. Her eyes were open, and the expression of them was such that even he could understand, although he was far as yet from a full appreciation of the happiness that had come. He arose presently and assisted her to her feet. "May I get my horse and take you home?" he asked. "Yes," she replied; "I will wait here for you." For an instant he stood, seemingly bewildered; then he passed rapidly towards the road. At the arcway of the road, he paused, looking back. The girl smiled, clasped over, patting the poor, mangy thing upon the head, and went on again. FORTY YEARS IN MISSISIPPI Porperty Valuation still Below That of 1860. Chicago Record-Herald: It is now nearly 40 years since the close of the civil war, but the whole period has been one of slow recovery and readjustment in the Southern states, so slow that even today the farm wealth of Mississippi is less than it was in 1860. The figures on this subject, which are furnished in a recent bulletin of the census bureau, will astonish every person who has not given it attention hitherto. In the decade between 1850 and 1860 there was a remarkable growth in agricultural industries, which seemed to presage a still further increase. The total value of farm property went from 789,905,223 to $241,473,571, or a little more than trebled. As was shown, war caused a tremendous falling off in the next decade. The total value reported in 1870 was $116,133,447, and as this estimate was in depreciated currency it is necessary to diminish it by one-fifth to get at the specie value. Even after this, however, the restorative process was very gradual. For the three years named in the following the values were: 1880 $122,016,268 1890 167,228,457 1900 704,227,457 It will be observed that the total for 1900 is $27,000,000 less than for 1860, and the fact is most eloquent testimony to the abnormal conditions that have prevailed. In Ohio, which is going more and more to manufacturing, farm property was worth half as much again in 1900 as it was in 1860. In Wisconsin, a newer state, the increase was more triumphant than the trial revolution which followed the rebellion in the South can explain the difference. It appears, however, that there has been an advance in some of the items of the Mississippi statement. While the value of land, improvements and buildings is much less than it was, the buildings are: 1860, $8,326,512; 1900, $9,556,805; on live stock, 1860, $41,891,632; 1900, $42,657,222. The earlier figures were passed for the first time at the close of the century. It is noticeable also that the number of farms has increased much more rapidly than the acreage, the industrial environment, and the present rate of progress is satisfactory. Apparently the formative period of a new era is pretty well accomplished. TYPHOID FROM THE SOIL Now Universally Admitted to be a Water-Born Disease. Philadelphia Press: That typhoid is a water-borne disease is now universally admitted, and is the chief justification for the enormous expenditure now in progress to secure this city water from which the typhoid bacillus and other disease germs and impurities shall have been filtered out. But filtration, while it will decrease typhoid, cannot be expected to extinguish it wholly. Ice and milk are familiar hides of the typhoid, and as the experience of our troops in the Spanish war showed, the soil contaminated by typhoid patients is a direct nurveur of that disease. When the typhoid broke out in the American troops during the Spanish war the water was at once suspected. It was filtered, boiled and even a new supply brought in pipes to the camp from a safe distance, but the typhoid did not abate until a new camp ground was found. Mr. M. A. Veeder, in a paper read before the Syracuse academy of medicine and published in the New York Medical Record, reviews the evidence of typhoid infection through the soil and enforces the necessity of thorough disinfection in all typhoid cases. In all the earth preserves and perpetuates typhoid for years. The idea that fresh earth is a disinfectant was never scientifically established and is now scientifically disproved. It goes with the old fallacy that moving water urifies itself. The agency of vegetation will probably in time purge a soil of the material on which the typhoid bacillus lives, but that is less certain than that typhoid contaminated soil continues to usseaste the soil. The typhoid bacillus may be communicated from the dust blown from the soil, by eating raw vegetables that were grown in it and by files who visit it in their peregrination. If these conclusions of Dr. Veeder are sound, and he cites in their support a great deal of direct evidence, the sources of typhoid conidia in which the bacillus varied than has been suppressed, and the instant disinfection of all typhoid material is made an imperative duty. It Wouldn't Interfere Congressman Bingham, chatting with some friends at the Union league regarding the effectiveness of the civil service examination, confessed that some absurd things often crept into the questions asked applicants. One young man who wanted a clerkship in the treasury was asked, among other things: "What is the distance of Saturn from the earth?" In reply, he said that, as the position he sought pertained to the earth and not to the entire solar system, he had neglected to post himself on astronomy, and that, while he was unable to tell the exact number of billions of miles, he felt sure the said planet was sufficiently far away not to interfere with his duties as a gork to involve him in the way of its wings, should he get the position. And, Gen. Bingham says he got it—Philadelphia Times. "Yes," said Miss Billions, "father encourages me in taking an interest in business." "Have you invested any money?" "Yes, I have." "Rallyed.

There can be no doubt as to which of the many designs of head coverings in the city really is the biggest. The largest hat is owned by a man who lives on the west side of First avenue, a few doors below Thirty-fourth street. He is evidently very proud of his posses- BIRD MOSTLY TAIL --- English naturalists have just brought from the interior of Centr. America the finest specimen of the famous long-tailed quetzal ever obtained. This bird is the most gorgeous and resplendent of all the feathered tribe, and few have ever been secured from their native haunts. It frequents the mountains of Central America and Guatemala at an elevation of 6,000 to 9,000 feet. The body portion is about the size of a turtle dove or pigeon. The main characteristics of these birds are their brilliant and long flowing tails, the plumes of their wings, and their long feet. These tall feathers are of golden green, vivid scarlet, with a freckling of black and white. The body is a rich . golden green above and bright crimson below. The quetzal was so highly prized by the natives prior to the Spanish conquest that none was allowed to be killed, and when one was captured the native was only permitted to divest it of its feathers, which were used to adorn the headaddresses of the chiefs alone. It haunts the topmost branches of the loftiest trees, and an important of its long tail, is not able to chase after prey, but feeds upon berries, fruits and insects picked off the branches. The head is decorated with a curious-shaped tuft of feathers. The female possesses only the rudiments of a crest and tail. New Orleans has 4.500 unionists.

Thirty years ago there were scarcely any trained nurses in Berlin. Today there are many, but it is often difficult to find one at a moment's notice. It is, therefore, proposed to organize the nursing profession by instituting a central office where the public and medical men may be able to learn at any moment when nurses are temporarily unemployed. "Nothing is sacred to the advertiser, so it was not to be expected that Lord Salisbury would escape," says the London Chronicle. "The pictorial advertisement which represents him puffing cigarettes in his retirement is, however, rather more wide of the mark than usual.

Instead, it hangs on a wall, and the owner had hung it up on going into the perhaps because he could not possibly go through the door, and had left it. METALLIC LAST LINK "Radium" has barely crept into late editions of our dictionaries as a "supposed metallic element, but within a few weeks our advanced scientists, particularly mmebers of the French Academy of Medicine, have established it, not only as a veritable element, but as a most remarkable one, which appears to be a connecting link between the two elements, and subtile apparitions of energy that have brought a new light into the world of science, called by us Roentgen rays. These X-rays, with their associate rays, have opened up a newly-discovered country for the scientist of the 20th century, and now it appears that this radium is to play a most important part in the field of discovery that lies just before us, for it possesses the power of giving forth light waves very sim- HERE'S A QUEER FISH.

One portion of the German ordnances for excluding American meats preserved with boracic acid will not go into operation until April 1, 1903, and the other portion not till Oct. 1, 1904.

Perhaps no missionary ever preached in more parts of the world than the late Bishop William Taylor, of the Methodist church, whose death has been noted recently. He went to California as a missionary along with the "forty-niners;" then he preached in the Canada. Thence he went to England and the continent, visiting Egypt and the holy land, holding evangelistic services wherever he was present. Later he served in Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, India, South Africa, the Congo region, the West Indies and in various countries in South and Central America, thus covering every continent. --- hanging there ever since.

Later digestion begins and the swallower is turned belly upward by the imprisoned gas, and his stomach becomes a bloom of the ocean to the surface, and in this helpless condition he is thrown about the waves, perhaps cast ashore and left high and dry by the receding tide, in which case he does not swallow any more, for the returning tide finds him a dead fish.

There are now 48 beet sugar plants in the United States, against six in 1896. in 1898 the production amounted to 32,000 tons, and in 1901 185,000 tons, an increase of 450 per cent in three years. Russian newspapers are displaying keen interest in the projected Alaska, Behring Straight and Irkutsk railway. They report it to be backed by American millionaires, but do not mention the names of the promoters. A special government commission has recommended the construction of a railroad from Alexandropol in Transcaucasia to the Persian frontier with a view to its being a branch of the Erivan line when that is built. The construction of another railroad from St. Petersburg to Patrasosadak, on Japa Onga, and a short line in the Baltic district has been recommended. New York's Moving Platform; An Endless Circuit of Planks New York letter: Twelve years on more age rther Field in his "Story of the Milennium," a book of the character of Bellamy's "Looking Backward" first developed the idea of the moving platform. He described in detail how the future city would be built, and worked out mathematically a system of moving streets centring at the great town hall and emporium which was to be the public meeting place for business purposes. The idea of moving platforms was not a new one but extrapolated from the story with a diagram of the street where the reprinted in thousands of newspapers. Subsequently at the Chicago World's Fair a movable platform scheme was exhibited and also at the later Paris International exposition. In New York one of the leading mammoth dry goods stores has for two years or more past been fitted with a wide movable staircase at one of the elevated railroad stations. Both of the applications have been found in the highest grade of the satisfactory and it is not surprising find that a demand for an application of the idea on a wider scale has been made. For months past the commissioner of bridges for Greater New York has been puzzled to find a plan to alleviate the pressure caused by the enormous traffic on the river. Urgent plans have been proposed, all of which have been found lacking in the power to handle the enormous and constantly growing crowds compelled to use the bridge until new facilities by bridges and tunnels are provided. Finally Bridge Commissioner Linda Duncan upon what seems to be a plan capable of securing at east a temporary solution of this most important problem. In fact the novelist's dream of little over a decade ago is now the pet investment of such practical capitalists as Cornelius and anderbilt Stuyvesant Fish, S. S. Palmer, E. P. Ripley and George W. Young. The moving platform system as it has been worked out for the big bridge is now being used as a platform of the company passengers will approach them from the floor up through large holes or wells, around which will run three platforms, moving at different rates of speed. Arriving from the entrance the passengers will step onto a platform moving at the rate of two and a half miles an hour. From this they will get onto another moving at a speed of five miles an hour. Next they will get onto another moving at a speed of seven and a half miles an hour, from this finally reaching the main platform which moves at the rate of ten miles an hour. The latter will be fitted with seats with ample room, but only about, for four people sitting abreast and with liberal space between them. Outside of these seats be the other two, those who do not cars to be seated, and if these choose to walk of course they will reach the other end much quicker, accomplishing the trip Kitchener and the Boers. Pittsburg Gazette: Lord Kitchener has raised himself considerably higher in the public esteem by the frank words of praise that he bestows upon the Boer soldiers. Any other verdict would have reflected upon the quality of his work. The British officer has been for months in a position where he could study the character of the Boer fighter, and his conclusion is that the world contains few better types of soldiers than the simple-hearted Boer. "His persistence," says Lord Kitchener, "is his crowning character, but to him he is a man of storage and an accurate knowledge o the principles of warfare in the open that entitle him to the highest honor." These are generous words of praise from a distinguished soldier who has had good reason to feel sore over the uncomfortable narrow escapes he has made from the war. He has been through the superior tactics at certain important crisis of the men whom he praises. It is more than likely that England will profit widely by her costly experiences in South Africa, but in no particular has she learned a more valuable lesson than that indicated in Lord Kitchener's tribute to the Boer soldiers. The Englishman can never hereafter sneer at the Boer, and this fact may have an important bearing on the future relations between the two peoples. Kitchener has said was already known to the rest of the world, and that knowledge, now that it has come to the Englishman, ought to go a long way toward softening his future judgment and dealing with his South African colonists. The Pennsylvania state dairy and food commission is making it hot for all who are caught adulterating foods and food products within the limits of the Quaker state. A case which the commission was instrumental in bringing before the courts last week was one in which the defendant was accused of selling glucose syrup for New Orleans molasses. The testimony showed that the stuff masquerading under the name of one of the greatest of Louisiana delicacies contained none of the Southern product, but was merely glucose, with about a beign of sugar, interesting to know just how many thousands of gallons of such mixture are annually palmed off on an unsuspecting public under the name of New Orleans molasses. If the truth were known it would make every sugar planter in Louisiana dumb for very amazement. The forward person is frequently set back. One of the reasons to which Frederick Goodall, R.

A larger amount of space has been allotted to the laboratory which he established there, and it is believed that, having more leisure for his scientific studies, he will spend a considerable portion of his time in the Riviera.

New York, Philadelphia, and "and." New York, Philadelphia, and "and." across the East River in about four minutes. A fare of one cent is to be the charge for travel on these movable platforms if they are installed. The great point of advantage with this arrangement will be its immense capacity, which naturally depends upon its speed and width. At ten miles an hour 70,000 persons can be easily transported and if a higher speed becomes necessary the demand can be met with the same machinery, ten miles not being the limit but the mean figure. The great charm for the traveler in a hurry or otherwise will be that a seat on a moving platform is accessible be the moment a person reaches the station. The jostling crowd and the waiting will therefore both be dispensed with greatly to the increased comfort of everybody. The capacity of one track of a moving platform will be equal to that of four tracks for crowded trolley cars, and with this difference, that while on the moving platform every passenger must sit a seat there will be two-thirds of those on the trolley cars standing. These cars will run in a train forming a continuous line and moving, as stated, at a proposed speed of ten miles an hour. There will be an oval-shaped loop at each terminal, access to the cars to be obtainable from these platforms, each three feet wide, circulating inside the incoming and outgoing passengers will be kept separate these platforms connecting these platforms to the regular ones which cross the bridge. The only objection to the movable platform yet raised is that they might constitute a difficulty for invalids and for cripples who might want to need them, but even in this particular there would not be so much risk to life and limb as now exists from the fight that comes daily with rush hours. An expert engineer says in reference to the matter: "The platforms can be operated with perfect safety. No safety can be run into. There can be no falling into between cars, no collisions, and therefore, most important of all, no danger of a breakdown. Some particularly nervous people imagine that there will be difficulty in stepping from one platform to the other, but the difference will not be noticeable. If the platform is moving at the rate of ten miles an hour the passenger will be able to move turbance equal to the speed of about two and a half miles an hour. The level of the platforms will differ only two inches, so that to mount from one to the other will not be more difficult than getting on a trolley car when it is moving very slowly." Organize to build and operate the movable platforms are ready to have the system ready in a year from the present time. They also ask for control of the trolley cars which they might run over the bridge between rush hours if preferable to the public. BERTRAM LEHAR. BOOMS ENGLISH FIELD HOCKEY. Current Number of Spalding's Athletic Library. English field hockey is sure to be the next sport that is to have a boom in America. We have had golf and ping pong, and from present indications, English field hockey is to be the next issue, and, therefore, the current number of Spalding's Athletic Library is devoted to the game of English field hockey, the contents being written by Miss Constance M. K. Applebee. Miss Applebee is a well known authority on the game and feels quite confident that it will soon take the leading place as an American sport. She has introduced it and gave it a permanent place in the American colleges for women. The game is played by young women in the American hockey Smith, Bryn Mawr and Radcliffe. In her book she minutely describes the game, gives valuable advice to beginners, and instructions how to play the game, with illustrations. Miss Applebee has received the endorsement of many prominent American authorities on physical education. No Standard of Value Close observers in New York are sure to be impressed by the discovery that they are asked to pay the same price for either cf two things greatly varying in actual value, and also that they can buy for less money a duplicate of something held at a higher price two blocks away. This is not meant with the intention of comparing prices between the offerings, say, of Broadway and Third avenue, but seems to be generally true even where the neighborhood is the same. Thus, a certain architect of this city, who had been paying $50 for a Broadway office in an old-style building, with poor service, has found delightful new quarters in a modern structure, not a throw distant, for the same rental. This local peculiarity seems to apply equally to the food you eat, the clothes you wear and the living rooms you occupy. In other words, it puts a premium on observation and good judgment, and makes it pay the man to whom money is some object to spend little time and thought in his selections. It is conspicuously true that the heedless spender of money in New York may dress no better and, perhaps, not so well, as the man who looks about him; and so it is all along the line. In no other city in the country are such varying results to be had with the employment of identical means. Striking proof of the efficacy of vaccination comes from Porto Rico. Up to 1899 there was an annual death rate from smallpox of over 600. In that year, in four months, 600,000 vaccinations were received.

But Zanzibar, to which the President has appointed Mason Mitchell, a rough rider, seems to be in the lead in an attractiveness, if the length of consular terms proves any test, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. Indiana has usually claimed the honor of furnishing candidates for this place, but after the resignation of a man named Rogers of Shoales, the Indiana senator notified the President that they were through with it. They had constituents who were willing to take chances, but the senators were not prepared to promise that these venerous individuals would stay more than a month. Before Rogers took the place it was held for nearly a year by "Bob" Mansfield, at one time private secretary to Senator Beveridge and now consul at Valparaiso. Mansfield came back, according to Indiana descriptions, "as thin as a toothpick and as yellow as June butter." He said he had stuck it out as long as the insurance company would let him and that he returned to save his premiums. Before Mansfield, there was an Indianian named Billhe尔mer, described as a husky Hoosier, with a large nose and frame pickled in maleria. He was cured of diplomatic ambition in about two months, and has never asked for a place since Before Billhe尔mer, Judge Riley of Virginia served; he remained as long as his aversion to the negroes would permit. Finally, he is said to have taken a gun and emptied a load of fine birdshot into the dusky natives who persisted in taking a daily bath in front of the American consulate which, the Judge "allowed," was an indignity to be resented by this government's representative. HE LIKES FRIED POTATOES. Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Dish, So They Say. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is very fond of fried potatoes, and during his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them beside her stall. The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out who he was. "I can tell you who he is," said a neighbor one day. "He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the czar and one of the greatest men in Russia." Utterly amazed, the woman asked: "In heaven's name, how should I address him?" "Oh, call him 'Your Excellency,' or 'Your Royal Highness,' was the answer. The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, she said: "I can recommend them to your royal highness, for I know your excellency has never tasted better potatoes." The grand duke burst out laughing, and paid more for the potatoes than he had ever paid before, but he was annoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potato. Girard Was Considerate. One of the sea captains in the employ of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee's fondness for whittling with his jackknife, and on one trip succeeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic sense, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved in appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Girard went aboard, made a general inspection in the captain's absence, and, as he was about to return to shore, asked one of the seamen who had been cutting the rail. The seaman told him the captain, and then, afraid his telling might have unpleasant consequences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard. The captain was in terror of a reprimand, but, hearing nothing from his employer, supposed the incident closed. As he was about weighing anchor ready to leave port, a dray loaded with shingles drove down to the wharf, and the driver hailed the vessel. "There must be some mistake! shouted the captain. "Our bill of lading doesn't mention shingles!" "This is where they belong!" sung back the driver. "Mr. Girard, himself, told me to deliver them! He said they're for the captain to whittle!" Gillette a Real Sherlock Holmes. William Gillette, whose impersonation of Sherlock Holmes has become so famous, has acquired much of theunning of the character he portrays, and on being interviewed by the newspaper reporters extracts from them all they know without himself imparting any information. On his return from Europe the other day all the Boston-sorting sought to learn of his future plans, but were obliged to abandon the effort. LUSTORONE No. 1.—To be used at bed-time every night.

A young woman of Magyar-Czernya in Hungary was called upon the long-distance telephone by her sweetheart in the town of Taba. He said: "Would you like to hear how I shoot myself?" Then she heard the sound of a shot. It was found afterward that the man had really killed himself. House Built of Buttons A house built of buttons is the latest thing in architecture, and a certain French musical celebrity is building it. The walls, the cellings, the doors, exterior and the interior are all ornamented with buttons of every description. Every country has been ransacked and some very curious specimens are reported to have been brought to light. Bible for the Coronation The king has already ordered the coronation Bible from the British and Foreign Bible Society, to be used in Westminster Abbey in June. It will be a large quarto volume, bound in red morocco, with gold clasps and stamped with the royal arms. It will become the property of the bishop who administers the oaths. London's Catholic Cathedral The Roman Catholic cathedral in London, now in course of erection, is 360 feet long and 156 feet wide. Apart from the site, it has already co- $750.00. The material used is red brick, with Portland stone courses, and its Oriental decorative features, it is said, suggest a mosque rather than a cathedral. Small Navy of Uruguay Three gunboats of twelve-knot speed constitute the invincible navy of Uruguay, a force which would have a hard time with the mobilized fleet of Slam, which has two 800-ton corvettes, six gunboats, a 2,500-ton deck-protected cruiser armed with fourteen guns, and a 650-ton cruiser. 400,000 Jews in Africa A writer in the Jewish World gives the total number of Jews in Africa at 400,000, of whom 20,000 have located in South Africa, where, says the writer, the most solid and tangible results have been attained by Jewish pioneers in all branches of development. Ex-Soldiers for Clerks Ex-soldiers will in future be employed as clerks in all departments of the British war office. Preference will be given to such as possess first-class certificates of education, or have been invalidated from active service by wounds or sickness. Steady Vote of Nevada The vote of Nevada fluctuates very little. In 1892 it was 10,878; in 1894, 10,508; in 1896, 10,305; in 1898, 10,011; and in 1900, 10,196. No other state in the Union has such a record of an undeviating vote as has Nevada. Lucky to Be In Jail The believers in the thirteen idocy are now citing cases of the man with thirteen wives who was sent to jail the other day, as if a man with thirteen wives were not in good luck to get safely inside a jail. Convicts Ask Clemency. The white convicts employed on the breakwater at Capetown are sending a loyal address to King Edward, praying his clemency on the occasion of the approaching coronation. Paper Mills in America There are now more than 1,100 pulp and paper mills in the United States. They use about 1,000,000,000 feet of lumber a year. The sawmills consume twenty times as much. Birthday of a Nation The new Australian federal government is appointing a Commonwealth Day on the lines of the American Independence Day. It is now engaged in welcoming the claims of July 1, when Queen Victoria assented to the constitution; September 30, the date of the proclamation; January 1, the inauguration of the Commonwealth, and May 9, the date of the Duke of Cornwall's opening of the first federal parliament. The January date is the one most favored. Holland and Its Colonies The hold that Holland has on its East Indian colonies is rather precarious. The Archon war, stretched over well-nigh thirty years, is having a period of recrudescence that will sadly try Dutch resources. The Jambi war has also kept the Hollanders busy. Strange to say, in both districts the Dutch troops are doing what the Dutch condemn in South Africa—burning farms. They are even destroying whole villages. Henrik Ibsen's Early Life Henrik Theen fifty years ago was serving behind the counter of a country drug store. The dispensing of medicines, however, did not suit tastes of the celebrated Norwegian, and during his apprenticeship he was hard at work reading for the profession of a doctor. In order to outloud a very small salary he took training, with what result the whole world knows. Fortunate Child. In the town of Manzanares, in Spain, the birth of the first year of this century was curiously honored by the municipality. Having recognized the claims of the expiring year by paying the funeral expenses of the last inhabitant of the town to die in it, the local authority undertook to bear the cost of the education of the first child born in the new year. Lakes in Arid Australia Subterranean lakes have recently been discovered in the Eucla district, Australia. They lie about thirty feet below the surface and contain an abundance of water. This discovery is of the greatest practical importance to this especially arid district. It is of scientific value also, as it affords an explanation of the disappearance of certain rivers. Robbery by Wholesale A remarkable robbery has been committed at Birds' Island, near Toulon. There was on the island a bed containing 100,000 two-year-old oysters. They were safe at a recent date, but on the proprietor visiting the place again seven days later the whole stock had been cleared without any clue to the robbers being discoverable. Flying Not a New Idea. Flying is not a twentieth century idea. As far back as 1273 Friar Bacon predicted that flying would "shortly" become a general practice and Bishop Wilkins in 1652 said: "It will yet be as usual to hear a man call for his wings when he is going on a journey as it is now to hear him call for his boots." Honor for Italian Literary Man. Prof. Rodolfo Lanciana has just received the greatest prize a literary man can hope for in Italy. The Academia Reale della Science of Turin has awarded him the triennial prize of 12,000 lire, called the Premio Bressa, from the name of its founder, for his recent scientific work.

PETER YOUNG. WANTED—AN IDEA of some simple things to patent? Protect your ideas if they may bring you wealth. Write HW. Washington on the back of the cover. The Boer horses are remarkably well-trained animals, and when the Transvalers desire to form an ambush or firing line, their horses are taught to remain stationary as soon as they feel the reins dropped over their necks Atmospheric Waves. The atmospheric ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gigantic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the air charged with moisture up into a colder atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, par. 'liel lines of clouds sometimes make their appearance at a great height, marking the crests of a ripple of air waves running miles above our heads.—Chicago Chronicle. Asphalt Pavements About twenty-five years ago government engineers decided to pave Pennsylvania avenue in Washington with asphalt. That was the beginning of the general use of the scientific mystery for street pavements. To-day over 234,000,000 square feet of street pavements in the United States and Canada are covered with asphalt. This asphalt pavement would make a boulevard twenty-six feet wide over 1,750 miles long and would reach from New York to New Orleans, and then have several miles for side streets.

Your right carer began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until the my hearing in this car entirely. I underwent a treatment for cataract, for three months, without any success, consulted a bot of deafness, and the treatment consisted of this therapy, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I have been a patient in a hearing aid, and ordered your treatment.
