Armored Glass A recent German invention is armored glass, or glass cast with wire gauze incised in their substance, so as to increase the resistance to pressure shock, and the effects of heat. Tests of the new material have been made at the Chemnitz technological museum which show that the armored glass is much stronger, and where the ordinary glass broke under sudden applications of pressure the strengthened material only cracked, and the cracks caused by changes of temperature did not allow either damp or flame to pass.

WHY THE HAM IS SO SALT. Packers Compelled to Use the Saline as Preservative. "We are having many complaints about the unusual saltiness of ham, bacon and canned goods this summer," said a butcher, who does a large family trade. "I suppose it is the same everywhere else. Standard goods that we have been able to recommend for years are salt as brine now. The packing houses tell us that it is because they are no longer permitted to use the preservatives that got such a raking over the coals after the Spanish war. They simply must pile on the salt or their hams and bacon won't keep. The packers will be obliged to find some way out of the difficulty, or they will have to go out of business altogether. In the trade we are noticing the falling off in orders from hotels and restaurants. No man wants a rasher of bacon or a slice of ham for breakfast if it is going to send him around with a raging thirst all day." DECEMBER.

MORE PAY FOR THE RURAL CARRIERS He Would Raise Maximum to $750 a Year—Would Then Cut Off Privilege of Carrying Express Matter—How Rural Free Delivery Has Been Extended in Seven Years. WASHINGTON. — (Special.) The annual report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow for the fiscal year ended June 30, last, makes the following recommendations: An appropriation to construct inspectors' lookouts in postoffices wherever necessary in the opinion of the postmaster general. That the interstate commerce law be amended so as to prohibit common carriers from aiding and abetting in the green goods, lottery or any other scheme carried on partly by mail and partly by common carriers, in violation of the postal laws. That special agents and postoffice inspectors be hereafter designated rural agents. That the provision that rural carriers shall not be prohibited from doing an express package business be repealed. That the maximum pay of a rural carrier be increased to $750 per annum for a route of twenty-five miles or more in length, and the enactment of a law requiring assistant postmasters, cashiers and other employees to give bonds to postmasters direct and holding postmasters responsible under their own bond. The work of the bureau has been greatly increased by the assignment to it of the division of free delivery. The free delivery is expanding more rapidly than any other branch of the postal service. Its growth during the fiscal year has been greater than at any other time since free delivery was established. It presents a great many problems for careful consideration, as the expenditures, when once authorized, become practically permanent, because free delivery, after being established, cannot be easily withdrawn. The estimated expenditure for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1904, for both city and rural free delivery, will aggregate about $47,000,000, an amount equal to that expended for the maintenance of the entire postal service in the year 1884. There were 2,707 postoffices established during the year, a decrease as compared with the previous year of 281. There were 4,462 postoffices discontinued during the year, being 403 more than during the preceding year. The principal use for the large increase in the number of postoffices discontinued has been the extension of the rural free delivery service. On June, 1983, at the close of the fiscal year, there were 74,169 postoffices, divided as follows: First class, 242; second class, 1,107; third class, 3,690; fourth class, 69,130. City free delivery service has been established in 99 postoffices during 1901 and 62 in 1900. At the close of the fiscal year there were 1,032 free delivery offices. There were during the year 653 separations of carriers from the service for the reasons given below: For intoxication ..... 69 For arrest for violation of postal laws and regulations ..... 26 For gross violation of postal laws and regulations .....100 For physical disabilities .....11 By resignations .....296 By deaths .....151 WANTS PRIVATE PROTECTED. German Army Conditions May Be Removed BERLIN.—(Special.) Herr Eugene Richter, leader of the Radical party, has decided to interpolate Count Von Buelow, the imperial German chancellor, regarding the maltreatment of private soldiers by their officers. He will ask the chancellor to see what legislative and administrative measures can be adopted more effectively to counteract the abuse of their authority by officers of the army, which was demonstrated in a number of recent cases before the military courts. Herr Richter will fortify his interpellation by the statement that the known cases of the abuse of private soldiers has caused grave apprehension among the people and has detracted from the god name of the German army. OKLAHOMA CITY.—(Special.) An observation station has been placed at Frederick, O. T., a new town just opened. This makes sixty-four that report to the Oklahoma City office. Others recently established are those at Geary and Drummond, O. T., and Vinita, I. T. The weather service is covered as thoroughly as that in many other more populous states. Territorial Treasurer's Report. GUTHRIE. — (Special.) Territorial Treasurer Rambo Wednesday filed his financial report for the month of Nov- ember, showing on hand $816,706.95 more money than ever before in Oklah- oma's treasury at one time. It is an increase of $100,000 over the previous month of October. Receipts for the month amounted to $144,015; expen- tures, $29,076. There is $185,171 in the common school fund, $302,907 in the public building fund, and all minor funds show increases. BIG FIRE AT HAYS CITY. Postoffice, General Store Block and Elevator Burn. HAYS CITY, KAS.—(Special.) Yost's mill and elevator, the postoffice and a block of business buildings were destroyed by fire here Wednesday morning. The mail matter in the depot was saved. The loss is $200,000, with small insurance. The flames were first noticed in the elevator and undoubtedly were of an incendiary nature. The entire business block in which the Baagan general store was located burned. The loss is $80,000, insurance $20,000. Other losses are: The postoffice, cigar store and rooms, $5,000; Goff's jewelry store, $950, insurance $300; Stainer's harness shop, $1,600; Dussard's shoe shop, $1,500; Haffamier's blacksmith shop, $800; O'Keefe vacant store building, $2,500; Yost repair building, $500; Madden stone barn, $3,000.

The strongest bill at the Orpfeum in Kansas City this season is the one announced for the week of December 6. Lydia Yeamans Titus, will be seen here on her farewell tour. She will give her impersonations, than which there are no more artistic on the vaudeville stage. She is assisted by her husband, Fred Titus, the accomplished pianist.

Mr. Fullenweider was returning from a building whire he had just paid off a number of workmen, and was within a short distance of his home, when two men, stepping cait from behind a tree, ordered him to throw up his hands. He turned to run from them and one of them shot him in the side, the bullet passing through the abdomen, inflicting a fatal wound. No arrests have been made. BARRED FROM THE BAR. Woman Not to Be Allowed to Practice law in England LONDON—(Special). The house of lords has finally decided that women are disbarred by their sex from becoming qualified lawyers in this country. The question arose on the appeal of a Loudoner, Mise Bertha Cavo, against the decision of the benchers of Gray's Inn not to admit her as a student for the purpose of being called to the bar. The court decided that there was no precedent for a woman's admission to the inn of court, and no reason to create a precedent. The benchers assert that statutes of Gray's inn ignore women so absolutely as to leave them no power to admit a woman. MUSKOGEE, J. T.—(Special) B3 order of the Dawes commission the allotment division of the land offices at Atoka and Tishomingo in the Choctaw and Chickashaw nations, will close December 24, and remain so until January 3.

A decision, involving the question of sixty allotments in the Cherokee nation with a possible commercial value of $120,000 was handed down Wednesday by Tams Bixby, head of the Dawes commission. He decided that W. H. Shoemake whose right to enrollment had been contested by the Cherokee nation, had been duly enrolled by the nation in 1883 and there was not sufficient evidence of fraud to overrule that action. GIVES UP HIS PENSION. Governor Bliss, of Michigan, Voluntarily Relinquishes It. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) Commissioner of Pensions Ware has received a letter from Governor Bliss, of Michigan, voluntarily relinquishing his pension. The letter is as follows: "Lansing, Mich., Dec. 1, 1902. "Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C. "Sir:—I have the honor to ask you to discontinue, after this date, the pension granted to me by the United States government for disability. I feel that I have won what I wished, a place on the pension rolls with my comrades of the war of the rebellion, and relinquish the pension only because I doubt the propriety of continuing as a pensioner when I am not in need. My disability was fully determined by two examinations, one under Commissioner Evans, and the second under your administration, each conducted by two doctors, the result being an order placing me on the rolls at $12 a month. My intention was to donate this money to the work of the Grand Army of the Republic, and this I have done. "Thanking you for the honor you have done, I remain, your obedient servant." "A T BLISS." POPE LEO WAS GENEROUS Loaned Millions of Church Money to Aristocratic Families. ROME—Special.) Going through the financial situation of the Vatican as left by Pope Leo, the present pope found that several millions had been employed in restoring the private patrimonies of a number of aristocratic families, the members of which had remained faithful to the holy see, principally those of the Princess Boncampagni and Borghese, but more especially the latter. The historic palace of the latter, built by Pope Paul V. at the beginning of the seventeenth century, had fallen into the hands of creditors of the princely house, who rented it as an office to the Grand Orient of the Italian Free Masons, which Pope Leo considered to be desecration. All rumors to the effect that Pope Pius intends to get back this money through the application of coercive measures are considered at the Vatican as altogether without foundation, because the families thus subventioned are repaying the money loaned them by yearly installments. He Has Two Ears Now: NEW YORK.—(Special.) The Western mine owner who procured, through the medium of $5,000, a new ear, which was grafted upon his head after being cut by degrees from another man's head, has returned from the private hospital in Philadelphia, where the operation was conducted by a New York surgeon. Circulation has been established in the foreign flesh and apparently the operation was a success.

A Brown county school teacher may lose his place on account of the "Mary and Ann" age problem. He solved the problem for his school with the answer that Ann's age was 18 years. One of the pupils, whose father is a member of the school board, told his parents about it. The school director decided that Ann's age was 12 and said that anyone who could get any other answer to the problem was incapable of teaching children. To save his place the school teacher appealed to the county superintendent, but that official refuses to be involved. Oklahoma City Takes Lead. OKLAHOMA CITY.—(Special.) On October 1, 1899, every postoffice in the United States began numbering money orders with 1. The Oklahoma City office used No. 100,000 Friday. At the same time Oklahoma City passed the 100,000 mark Wichita used 78,447; Fort Worth, 66,860; Guthrie, 49,181. Two years ago Oklahoma City's number was 35,000, and Fort Worth and Wichita about the same. In the last two years Oklahoma City has issued 65,000 money orders, being twice the number issued in Fort Worth and far ahead of the number issued in Wichita. Worry Killed Him. WICHITA, KAS.—(Special.)

These masses of cobweb, when damp by rain or dew, establish "leaks" and by drawing off the current the capacity of the lines is sometimes reduced to only a tenth of the normal. Truly Marvelous Feat Pliny states that Cicero once saw the entire Iliad of Homer contained in the shelly covering of a specimen of the forest fruit. By many this was long believed to be a fiction.

A woman who has used Postum Food Coffee since it came upon the market eight years ago knows from experience the necessity of using Postum in place of coffee if one values health and a steady brain. She says: "At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum and got a sample and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking coffee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly. I persuaded him to shift to Postum and it was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stomach. To make a long story short our entire family have now used Postum for eight years with completely satisfying results as shown in our fine condition of health, and we have noticed a rather unexpected improvement in brain and nerve power." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner.

Doan's Kidney Pills soon regulated the kidney secretions, making their color normal and banished the inflammation which caused the scalding sensation.

Everybody knows the great value of this remedy in the household, but everybody does not know that the imitations of it, which some second class druggists dishonorably palm off on their customers, have little effect. What should be understood by the philosopher is that it is a more question of comparative value between "Vaseline" and the imitations, but that the imitations do not effect the wonderful healing results of the world renowned "Vaseline," and that they are not the same thing nor made in the same way. Besides this, the imitations are harmful, irritant and may be harmful while true Vaseline is perfectly harmless. Perfect safety therefore lies in buying only original bottles and other packages put up by the Chesebrough Manufacturing Co. Attention is called to their Capsicum Vaseline advertised in another column. A soft answer may turn away wrath, but it seldom works on book agents.

SALINA, KAS.—(Special.) The H. D. Lee Mercantile company's buildings and contents was destroyed by fire Friday. The fire started at noon. The fire company was inadequate to cope with the flames. The property occupied a block and was four stories high. This is one of the largest wholesale grocery and notion stores in the state and carries half a million dollar stock. At 2 o'clock the fire raged with undiminished fury and the building began to topple over. The Abilene fire department arrived by special train. A brisk north wind was blowing. Citizens were on their housetops in many parts of the town with tubs of water fighting the flying brands. The town, however, was not in danger. The H. D. Lee Hardware company's building, a block long and five stories high, across an alley, caught fire at 1 o'clock, but the blaze was extinguished. The building was saved from burning by its iron shutters, which were closed by the quick alarm of fire. Both establishments belong to H. D. Lee, a capitalist, who is also at the head of the Farmers' bank here. The loss is estimated at $ \frac{1}{2} $ million dollars. Several houses, barns and other buildings were burned. No one was injured as far as known. The fire started in the paper bag department on the second floor when most of the employees were absent at luncheon and was well under way when discovered. None of the stock was saved. The insurance is said to be $350,000. A determined effort was made to save the books, and most of them and the firm's papers were brought out of the building. The burning contents of the building made such a dense smoke that the firemen were unable to approach closely enough to fight the flames effectively. The ice plant was threatened for a time, but was saved by the fire department. RESENTED SLURS ON THE ARMY. Corporal John Ewing, Who Handled a traveling Man Roughly, Acquitted. SALINA.—(Special.) "I wear the blue and no man can make remarks derogatory to the army in my presence without hearing from me," said Corporal John Ewing of Kansas City, the officer in charge of the Salina station of the army recruiting service, as he left the city court room this evening after having been acquitted of assaulting George Tinney, a traveling salesman from Jefferson City, Mo. Tinney had gone to the recruiting office to persuade his brother, Clinton R. Tinney, not to enlist in the army. The traveling man stated to his brother that army officers and soldiers in general were not the very best class of people and that he might be sorry should he decide to enlist. Corporal Ewing ordered Tinney from the room and, on his refusal to go, Ewing ejected him from the office. Tinney then swore out a warrant for Ewing's arrest, and in the police court the soldier was acquitted. MAY BE FRANK HAYDEN. Man Killed by Frisco Train Thought to Be Identified. PITTSBURG.—(Special.) Further developments in the case of the unknown man killed by the cars on the Frisco Wednesday point almost conclusively that his name was Frank Hayden, a stranded actor. The name "Stiles" was found tattooed on one arm, but the name Frank Hayden was tattooed on the other arm, which was found this morning. An envelope found in the pocket of a remnant of his coat had the same name written upon it and addressed to Pittsburgh, but the contents of the envelope were gone. The postmark was Omaha, Neb. A man who called himself Frank Hayden had ben around Scammon two or three days prior to the finding of the mangled body along the railroad track. Want Road Macadamized LEAVENWORTH.—(Special.) The board of directors of the Mount Muncie Cemetery Association of this city have petitioned Warden Jewett, of the state prison, to macadamize a road leading through the Soldiers' home grounds to the cemetery.

Two more heirs have appeared in the contest for the Moses Jacobs estate. According to the latest developments, Jacobs had been married three times. One of the new heirs is Mrs. VanAsden, of Philadelphia, and the other third wife, who appeared Thursday has filed her claim. Each of the three claimants to the estate are unknown to the Emporia relatives, who are beginning to fear that their share of the estate will be small HIS 'WIDOW APPEARS. Says That Moses Jacobs Was Not Very Wealthy. EMPORIA.—(Special.) Two weeks ago Moses B. Jacobs, of Seattle, while visiting his sister here, died suddenly on the street. He was supposed to be a wildower and worth anywhere from $30,000 to $60,000. His relatives here, believing themselves to be the only heirs, had Henry Jacobs, cousin of the deceased, appointed administrator of the estate, and he intended to start soon for Washington to settle the affairs of the estate there, when a strange woman who claimed to be the wife of Moses Jacobs, appeared Emporia relatives of Jacobs claim that the woman is an imposter, but she has a wedding certificate that Moses Jacobs and Mrs. Alice R. Shields were married in Labette county in 1885. She also claims that she loaned money to Jacobs with which he got his start in Washington and that he called to see her on his way to visit his sister here and that she loaned him the money, part of which was found on his person at the time of his death. She does not believe that he was worth half what the Emporia relatives estimate his estate to be. BODY GROUND TO PIECES Unknown Killed by Frisco Train Near Pittsburgh. PITTSBURG.—(Special.) An unknown man was instantly killed Tuesday near Turck, south of here, by a Frisco passenger train. His body was so badly mangled that his identification is almost impossible. The accident happened about one mile this side of Turck, near the Durkee coal swift, and neither Conductor Roundtree, who was in charge of the train, nor Engineer Pritchard knew of the accident until they reached Carthage, when they noticed blood on the wheels of the coaches. The trainmen even then thought nothing of the incident, thinking that possibly they had run over a dog or some other animal. The body was found by section men, and they hastened to Scammon and notified the coroner. Pieces of the body were strewn along the track for nearly a quarter of a mile. On the part of an arm found was tattooed the name of "Stiles," but no other means of identification could be found. HAD TO WORK IN FIELD. Why Leavenworth County Farmer's Wife Sues for Divorce. LEAVENWORTH.—(Special.) Ella J. Knight, who lives on a farm south of Tonganoxie, has filed suit for divorce from her husband, J. W. Knight. Her petition is one of the strangest ever filed here. She claims that her husband has forced her to work out in the fields with him in all kinds of weather, even when she had a nursing babe. She says she was compelled to take the infant into the field every day with her. She alleges that when they were married her husband had nothing, while she had a horse and cow and a little household furniture. Now they have two horses, two cows, five head of hogs, a wagon farming implements, etc. She wants an absolute divorce and one-half of everything. Pathos All a Joke HIAWATHA. — (Special.) Several traveling men who make this vicinity regularly are rather put out by a "practical joke," perpetrated by Wilson Baird of Highland, of which they are the victims. Baird is the proprietor of a Highland hotel and also owns considerable valuable farm property. Before a crowd of traveling men he recently is said to have told a pitiful tale. He didn't know how he could pull through the winter on account of heavy taxes and other troubles. The sympathetic drummers made up a purse and also gave him a fine overcoat. They have just discovered the hotel man's financial standing and are now kicking themselves. $6,000 for Each Panose. HIAWATHA—(Special.) County Surveyor T. J.

"But you are making one mistake, Mistah Randolph. You should move your family to Topeka. It would be so much more homicidal for you."

The Doctor's Statement. St. John, Kan., Nov. 16.—This town has a genuine sensation in the case of a little boy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William McBride. Dr. Limes, the attending physician, says: "Scarlet Fever of a very malignant type brought this child very near to death and when the fever left him he was semi-paralyzed in the right leg and right arm. He also lost hearing in his right ear, and his mind was much affected. "His parents tried another treatment for a time and when I was recalled I found that he was having spells very like Epilepsy and was very bad and gradually growing worse. I advised the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in a short time the child began to improve. Inside of a week the nervous spasms or epileptic seizures seased altogether." Mr. and Mrs. McBride have made a sworn statement of the facts and Dr. Jesse L. Limes has added his sworn statement saying that Dodd's Kidney Pills and nothing else cured the fits.
