After full consideration and consultation with the officials of the National Negro Business League and friends throughout the country, it has been decided to call the next session of the League to meet at Chicago, Ills., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21, 22 and 23. It is generally conceded that the meeting held in Boston last August was one of the most successful gatherings ever held in the history of the race, and that it gave an encouragement and impetus to the race in all lines of business in a way that is now apparent in all parts of the country. Any person engaged in any commercial enterprise or properly delegated to represent any individual or individuals engaged in commercial enterprise, is entitled to membership under such regulations as may be adopted. Women as well as men engaged in business should be represented. It is strongly urged that Local Leagues be established in every part of the country where no such leagues now exist and those already organized be strengthened wherever necessary, and that these local leagues send delegates, so far as possible to the National organization, and keep in close touch during the year with the officers of the National organization; that these local organizations hold meetings monthly as far as practical; that everything possible be done in these local organizations to discourage complicated and useless parliamentary machinery, and that parliamentary and technical discussions be avoided, as far as possible, with a view to concentrating time and strength on the real objects of the organization. It is the desire of the officers of our people as well as of the perpersons engaged in business. These photographs should show both outside and inside views as far as possible, and they should be forwarded to the President of the League at Tuskegee, Alabama, as early as convenient. The time has come for the race to take a long step forward in establishing itself permanently and more generally in the business of the community where it resides. Let no legislation or attempted legislation discourage or dishearten us. There should be no doubting or halting. Every move should be a forward one. To gain recognition and success we may have to struggle harder and longer than others, but out of the very struggle we shall gain a strength that we can get in no other way. The influence and power of intelligence, high character and high standing in the business world, are sure to place the race in the end in a position where it will be honored and treated with justice in every part of the land. Let our watchword constantly be, "FORWARD." Booker T. Washington, President, Tuskegee, Alabama. T. Thomas Fortune, Chairman, Executive Committee, 4 Cedar Street, N. Y. E. E. Cooper, Secretary, 459 C Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. --- No. 5. CLINTON Rev. P. P. Taylor occupied the pulpit at Bethel A. M. E. church Sunday evening, delivering a delightful discourse.

London and Dixon, formerly of Muchakinock in the grocery business in Des Moines, and sincerely hope they may make it a grand success in every respect. This is an example for others to follow. Would it not be a credit to our race to see more of our men going into business for themselves? Des Moines people should by all means give these men their patronage. This was an unusually quiet Fourth in the Rapids, it seeming more like a Sabbath day. However, there were several private picnics and the supposition is that every one enjoyed themselves. Mrs. J. S. Clay entertained Mrs. G. H. Wade and daughter, Opal, at dinner on the Fourth. Several of the young girls spent the Fourth out at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Milligan. Henry Davis leaves this week for Washington, D.C., to accompany Mrs. Davis home, she having spent the past six months at the national capital. Little Myrl Searey is confined to her bed with illness.

Jackson of Sigourney is in the city with the view of moving here. Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Terry, Mrs. Henry Brown, Miss Myrtle Cooper and Clyde Washington pienicked in Riverside park on the Fourth. The wedding bells will ring sometime this month. So keep yourselves in readiness for congratulations. PRACTICAL ADVICE. Never let a child sob itself to sleep. An egg beaten up in milk is a good pick-me-up. Sponge black silk with spirits to revive it. Soot covered with salt is easily brushed up. If broken wash the braise and apply vaseline. Apply arnica to a bruise if the skin is embroken. A hot bath taken at night affords refreshing sleep. Lemon stowed separately in dry sand keep fresh. Dry hair turns gray sooner than moist tresses do. If your clothes catch fire instantly roll on the floor. Crawl out of a room where there are smoke and fire. When you want to cut whalebone, warm it by the fire. Sufferers from dyspepsia should not drink while eating. Cut glass needs scrubbing with warm water and soap. Cruelled cloves kept among furs frighten moths away. When the dirt is removed rinse it well with cold water. The busy housewife should get an hour's sleep in the afternoon. If possible, hold a wet towel to your face while escaping.

I shall then telegraph the war department and a special board of officers will be sent out to inspect and approve my action. The specifications will then be submitted to contractors and bids advertised for. Thirty days later the contract will be completed. This whole program should not occupy to exceed two months and may be completed in a little more than six weeks. Work will then be rushed as rapidly as possible until completion. But this will necessarily require a long time owing to the greatness of the task." CUTS DOWN ASSESSMENT. State Executive Council Lowers the Real Estate Valuation.

Johnson, but the combination was not maintained after the committees were selected, and during the all-night session of congress, it was claimed that the McLean and Kilbourne men were no longer co-operating against the propositions of the Johnson men on the platform and organization. The contest was in the committee on resolutions and on both national and state issues. The Johnson men won on their favorite views on state matters, and the others on national issues. There was no reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform. There is no mention of previous platforms or of Bryan. TURKEY SQUARES UP CLAIM. Amount of American Indemnity Is Paid by the Sultan Washington, July 11.—The state department has received the amount of the American indemnity claim against Turkey, $95,000, through the American legation at Constantinople. The money was paid by the Turkish government to Mr. Leishman, our minister in the Ottoman Imperial bank and drafts remitted for the amount. These drafts have just reached Washington. As is always the case, the claims in the aggregate considerably exceed the amount of the indemnity actually paid, but our government has expressed its being satisfied with the payment. It assumes full responsibility for the distribution, the Turkish government and leaving it to the state department to distribute among the claimants at its discretion and after its own fashion. LOCUSTS RUINING THE CROPS. Minnesota Is Suffering From a Plague of Small Insects. Minneapolis, Minn., July 9.—The grasshopper situation in some sections of Minneapolis is alarming. Acting State Entomologist E. B. Forbes has just issued his first official statement of the existing conditions. He defines the boundary of the scourge in these words: "The Red River Valley, all the way from Wilkin county to Kitson county, is suffering." The Rocky mountain locust is most prevalent in the vicinity of Moorhead they are present in sufficient numbers to do great damage if the weather conditions favor their work. In many places, he says, the insects have cleared up acres of young wheat, flax and potatoes, and the fields are as bare as they were previous to planting. Columbia Beats Constitution: Newport, R. L, July 12—Columbia won yesterday's race in fine shape, with the Constitution second and the Independence a remarkably good third. The Boston boat sailed an exciting race with the two Herreschos and led the Constitution at the outer mark, only to be beaten by her a little over two minutes on the run to the finish before the wind. Younger Boys Are Paroled. St. Paul, Minn., July 11.—The state pardon board has approved the parole of Coleman and James Younger, who have been in the Stillwater penitentiary for the past twenty-five years for complicity in the robbery and murder at the time of the raid on the Northfield, Minnesota, bank. It's a wise cook that knows enough to leave well done alone. The Deadly Cracker. Chicago, July 6.—The Tribune presents reports from all over the country showing the number of persons killed and injured as a result of celebrating the Fourth of July. The number actually killed is less than last year, being nineteen, against still more than the number of injured is considerably larger, the numbers being 1,611, against 1,325. The real list of fatalities will, however, not be known until the number of deaths resulting from the lockjaw caused by toy pistol wounds come in. The bandmaster likes to have the public's money play into his hands. MINISTER WU HITS BACK. Half Million indians Washington, July 11—The Chinese government, through Minister Wu Ting Fang, has filed a claim for indemnity to the amount of $500,000 on account of alleged outrageous treatment of Chinese at Butte, Mont. There is a suggestion of Boxer outrages reversed in the presentation. The Chinese, the treatment inflicted upon the Chinese at Butte being claimed to have been cruel and oppressive. It is charged that some of them were killed, others lost their property and nearly all were ruined in business and many of them were driven out. The claimants number several hundred. The outrages date back to 1886, and it is declared that the city council of Butte upheld the rioters and the boycotters; that the state courts upon appeal decided in language so unjudicial as to be itself a subject of complaint, that the city council might be acquitted, that the relief could be obtained only measurably through an appeal to the United States circuit court. The claim raises some novel and extremely interesting points of international law. FILIPINOS MADE OFFER. Bryan Says Aguinaldo Tendered $100,000 for Campaign. Salem, IL., July 10.—William J. Bryan confirmed the statement that Aguinaldo's agents attempted to corrupt him during the last presidential campaign. Mr. Bryan explained how the offer was made and refused. Some time before the emissaries of Aguinaldo called at the Hoffman house in New York last fall Mr. Bryan received a letter telling him that Aguinaldo's representatives would call and that they would make the proposition to Mr. Bryan that Aguinaldo would give $100,000 to the democratic campaign fund. In addition they would promise for the Filipino leader that he would surrender in the event that the Nebraskan was elected and that the surrevenant would be added to the list. In return they would exact a promise that a reasonable form of government founded on the principles in force in the United States be given the Filipinos. Therefore, when the Filipino agents appeared at the Hoffman house Mr. Bryan was ready for them. He refused to see them. They clamored for an audience with some one who apprehens the Nebraskan was headless. He not only refused to see them, but he refused to delegate to anyone authority to consider any proposition that they might make. Finally after trying to the utmost to get to Mr. Bryan and put the proposition before him they abandoned the plan and took the advice of some of the attaches of the national headquarters, which was to leave New York and report to their pals that the democrats would have nothing to do with the overtures made. Mr. Bryan said: "I was prompted to refuse to meet them, so that my opponents could not have the opportunity to misconstrue or misrepresent the objects of such a conferment, not consider the proposition which they were anxious to make in person for the reason that I considered it my duty to act as I did." KANSAS CORN BADLY SCORCHED. Reports Received of Great Damage by Hot Winds. Topeka, July 12.—The corn crop in this state has been damaged almost fifty per cent according to the reports of some of the correspondents, but the impression exists here that the corn crop will be fully twenty-five per cent shorter than anticipated on account of the hot winds. The wind has been blowing from the south for three days and in some parts of the state boundaries. The appeal to the scorched so that it is hopelessly gone. Some fields are dead. Reports received here indicate that in the state the state are the crops damaged less than 50 per cent. Bourbon, Allen, Franklin and Miami counties report almost a total loss of the corn crop. Alfalfa is about the only product standing the dry period well. It is generally conceded that this is the worst drouth since 1860 in Kansas. TERRIBLE WRECK ON THE ALTON. Eight Killed Outright and Many Passengers Injured. Kansas City, July 11.—One of the worst wrecks in several years on the Chicago & Alton railroad occurred yesterday morning at 6 o'clock near Norton, Mo., one hundred miles east of Kansas City, when passenger collided head on with the second section of freight No. 88 going east. Eight people were killed outright, and about twenty-five more or less injured. In a fire that started from the demolished engines the dining car and one chair car were partially burned. Kansas City, July 12.—A revised list of the dead in the Alton railroad makes the number nineteen, with a probability that two more will have to be added to the list. Pierre Lorillard Dead New York, July 9—Pierre Lorillard, head of the wealthy house of that name, for nearly half a century a prominent figure in business, yachting and the turf, is dead. Kitchener Captures Boers. London, July 6—Lord Kitchener telegraphs to the war office as follows: 'Grenfeld, on July 1, at Howell, captured ninety-three Boers and a lot of supplies belonging to Beyers' commando.' Buenos Ayres Under Siege. New York, July 6.—The Western Union Telegraph company is advised that the Argentine congress has declared Buenos Ayres in a state of siege for six months, and has established censorship on all messages thereto. Some are weatherwise, some are otherwise. Moscow, July 10.—"Russia will surely invade India unless great Britain ceases its aggressive policy in Europe. It is logically certain that Russia will soon annex Afghanistan. The time is near when the frontier of Russia's Central Asiatic possessions will be the largest such mountains, the natural border of India." Such is the opinion of General Sobolev, as expressed in an interview. The general lately issued a highly sensational pamphlet entitled "The Possibility of a Russian Campaign in India." Continuing he said: "English and Russian rivalry dates back from the Crimean war, in which that period Eng- "All this must be stopped and England must now admit Russia's demands for a guarantee of the possessions she now occupies on the Black Sea. She must withdraw her opposition to Russian policy in the Balkans and Manchuria, otherwise she will be in constant danger of losing India. It be impossible to avoid such a result. "No Russian or British statesmen will be able to prevent the inevitable clash in India, now that it has been ascertained that a Russian campaign in the Indian empire is not only possible but presents no special difficulties. In less than ten years Russia may complete her great task of entering India and establishing a Russo-Indian empire, adding 450,000,000 new subjects to the czar's dominions." MISSION PUPILS KILLED. Riots in Quelpar, on an island of the Kugdom of Korea. Berlin, July 12.—The Cologne Gazette publishes a dispatch from Zeoul, Korea, dated July 6, saying that bloody conflicts, extending over a period of ten days, have occurred on the island of Quelpart between Roman Catholic missionaries and their pupils and the populace of the island. Fifteen of the natives and about 300 of the missionaries are reported to have been killed during the encounters. The governor of Quelpart, according to the dispatch, says the trouble was the fault of the pupils and arose from their support of the tax collectors in levying illegal taxes upon the natives. Upon hearing that two French missionaries had been killed in the island, a French warship proceeded to Quelpart and upon finding the missionaries in question alive the warship returned. The Korean government has commissioned Hjian Kun and an American official to investigate the matter and is sending a company of Korean infantry with them to Quelpart. Quelpart is in the Yellow sea, sixty miles south of Korea, to which country it is subordinate. It is a penal settlement. DEMANDS NATIONAL UNIVERSITY. National Editorial Association Takes a Stand for One. Detroit, Mich., July 12.—Despite strong opposition on the part of those opposed to a national university, the National Educational association yesterday accepted a resolution reaffirming its former declaration in favor of such a university. The resolution, which was offered by President Jesse of the University of Missouri, read: "Resolved, that this association hereby reaffirms its former declaration in favor of the establishment by the national government of a national university, devoted not to collegiate, but to a true university education." Dr. Butler of New York moved that it be placed on the table, but was voted down overwhelmingly, and the original resolution adopted. The report of the committee on nominations, which named Wm. N. Beardshear of Iowa college for president and C. M. Keyes of Hartford, Conn., for treasurer, was adopted, and Dr. Beardshear was led to the platform, where he made a brief talk. "All for one and one for all," he said, would be his sentiment of the association. RUSSQ-AMERICAN TARIFE Compromise Offer by DeWitte Rejected by Secretary Gage. Washington, July 10.—Another important exchange has occurred between the Russian government and the United States relative to the tariff. The Russian minister of finance, M. De Witte, has proposed that Russia acquire all of the additional duties levied on the United States by the imposition of the sugar differential, if the United States will vacate its action on the sugar differentials. To this Secretary Gage has replied that the offer of the Russian government cannot be accepted, as the question of the sugar differential is now handled of the court, thus precluding action by the executive branch. Shows Willingness to Learn. Shanghai, July 1.—In a decree made public here the dowager empress of China orders the Chinese ministers now abroad to report to her the names of young Chinamen in foreign countries who have shown special abilities in the various professions, with a view of bringing them back to China at government expense, where they will be eligible for office. Women as a rule are willing to shut up when money gets ready to talk. New Battleships for England. London, July 8.—In the house of commons Arnold Forster, the secretary of the admiralty, announced that the year's shipbuilding proof of a new improved class, six cruisers of the Monmouth class and ten improved torpedo boat destroyers. The battle ships will be of 16,500 tons and twenty feet longer than those of the Formidable class. Their gramine included three battle ships and their horse power will be 18,000 and their one-half knots. The armor of the new battle ships will be a belt eight to nine inches thick. NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des Moines. July 12, 1901. Four paroles of inmates of Iowa penitentiaries have been issued by Governor Shaw. They are Arthur Moon, sentenced from Marshfield county on the charge of burglary; Harvey Owens, sentenced from Davis county on the charge of larceny; William Voshall, sentenced from Iowa county on the charge of larceny, and James O'Brien, sentenced from tremer county on the charge of assault with intent to commit rape. Owens and Moon were confined at Fort Madison and O'Brien and Voshall at Anamosa. Attorney General Mullan has handed down an opinion to Governor Shaw respecting the right of this state to recover interest on the funds furnished by it in equipping troops for the civil war. He holds that such interest can be recovered by the state, provided its rights have not lapsed, a question of fact which can only be determined upon investigation of the while question. Attorney General Mullan holds also that the state cannot employ an agent to recover this money, but that that work must be done by the council of the law courts of the state, cuts Senator Lothrop, of Sioux City, out of a large commission, as it was he who raised the question and offered to recover the money for the state. About $300,000 is involved. S. R. Dawson, who was sentenced to Anamosa June, 1896, to serve a ten-year sentence for the murder of his son-in-law, Walter Scott, has been paroled by Governor Shaw. The application which led to the pardon was circulated about three months ago and signed by influential citizens of Des Moines. Dawson is the inventor of the celebrated Damascus steel. The secret which he uses in making the metal harder than any other metal he himself and has been locked up in the safety vault of the Des Moines National bank since his commitment to the penitentiary nearly seven years ago. Before his sentence a company was formed with a capital stock of nearly half a million dollars in the commodity, and it is understood to be the intention of the promoters to go ahead with the plans. The discovery that a Des Moines milk dealer is using formaldehyde to decrease his ice bill has stirred the officials at the state dairy commissioner's office to renewed activity in preventing the use of the deadly preservatives. About a year ago there were four arrests made in Davenport on the strength of a statement made by a chemist there to the effect samples of the milk sold by these dealers contained a weak solution of formaldehyde. When the case was brought up for trial the chemist and had to be carried into the justice court and his evidence had little weight. The men were discharged, but the effect was beneficial just the same, as the authorities have had no trouble with Davenport dealers since that time. The supreme court decision in the Slinker case gives the dairy commissioner's office pressing adulterations of milk and the effect has been wide throughout the state in bettering the quality of dairy products. An opinion rendered by Attorney General Mullan to Secretary of State Martin determines unreservedly that companies incorporated in other states must pay the requisite filing fee demanded of Iowa companies in accordance with the capital stock if the transaction must occur within the state the corn is reported to be attorney general by Deputy Hites of the secretary of state's office was prompted by the refusal of the American Grain Purifier Construction Co. of Pierre, S. D., to conform to the requirements of the statutes relating to the admission of foreign corporal at $250,000 and is making capitalized at $250,000 to open a branch factory at Davenport. Mr. Hites demanded a filing fee of $250, which the company refused to pay. CARNEGIE WILL GIVE MUCH MORE Said That He Will Donate 54,000,000 Pounds to Institutions. New York, July 11.—The Herald says: Andrew Carnegie still has 56,000,000 pounds to give away in public benefactions. Mr. Carnegie himself is authority for this statement, which he made recently at Skibo castle to a member of the new York chamber of commerce committee, who is now in this city, but wishes his name kept secret. Mr. Carnegie admitted that free libraries and other educational institutions would undoubtedly obtain a portion of the millions in question, in order that the plans he had previously adopted should be fully developed. His hearers judged from what he said were considering the advisability of directing his effort toward endowing and supporting art galleries, scientific museums and similar institutions. Robbers Are Cornered. Great Falls, Mont., July 10—In a deep canon about sixty miles south of Malta, fifteen miles east of Rocky Point and five miles north of the Missouri river, Sheriff Griffin has at last cornered the Great Northern train robbers. The canon is a veritable fortress and full of caves where the robbers can hide and hold at bay an army if need be. **Kansas Wheat Fields Destroyed.** Great Bend, Kan., July 9—Fifteen thousand acres of wheat went up in flames here yesterday afternoon. The fire was started by an unknown man throwing a lighted cigar into a field of wheat stubble. Everything was as dry as tinder, and soon a destructive fire was in progress. The inhabitants all left their work and exerted all the methods they knew for fire fighting, but to no avail, and it was last evening before the fire was under control. Roughly estimated the loss in wheat will aggregate 300,000 bushels, nearly all of which was in stack. Mildred Trevanion BY THE DUCHESS. CHAPTER VIII.—(Continued.) Just then the door opened and Mildred entered. She came in swiftly, and advanced so rapidly toward the chimney-piece that, until she was within a foot of him, she was not aware of his presence there, and acknowledged her surprise by a sudden start and exclamation of alarm. "I beg your pardon," he said; "I did not mean to frighten you." Even as he spoke a wild determination to know the worst from her own lips without loss of time seized upon him. "I came for a book," explained Mildred, hurriedly. "Ah, here it is! In confusion I hardly remembered where I had left it." "Can you spare me a few minutes?" asked Denzil, without giving himself liberty to think further. "Certainly," answered Mildred, in a tone of marked surprise. "But do you not think that another time would be more convenient? You use"—glancing at the clock—"how late it is? The ball will commence in less than half an hour, and we shall not be ready." "I will not detain you long," he said—two or three minutes at the furthest. Indeed, a few words will comprise all that I have to say. You must have seen"—desperately—"you must know for yourself"— "Stay," cried Mildred, faintly—"do not go on! You have said enough—believe me——" "It is too late now to stop me," interrupted Denzil, passionately. "I must go on and tell you the one thought that occupies me day and night. Reject me—despise me, if you will, only hear me." To this, although he waited as if in expectation, she made no answer. Perhaps, had she then once more forbiddern him, he might forever have held his peace. But she kept complete silence. They formed a curious picture, standing there in the old-fashioned dresses they had not had time to remove; Denzil in white satin breeches and rich ruffles and carefully-powdered hair, Miss Trevanion as "La Valliere," with her trailing embroidered satin robe, her fair-hair also thinly powdered, and her soft white arms half bared. Encouraged by her speechlessness, Denzil spoke again— "I love you," he said, simply. "I am only telling you what you have known all along—am I not? And yet, even to myself, when put into language, it seems quite different—the words sound so poor and cold. Is it altogether hopeless, Mildred? Is there any chance for me?" She had moved a few steps backward as he began speaking, and now stood supporting herself by one hand resting on the table. She had lowered her eyes and fixed them on the ground, and appeared calm enough though she made no response to his last appeal. "Give me my answer," he said. "You should not have gone on," she observed at length, her tone low but angry. "I forbade you to do so. It was unfair to compel me to listen when you knew I wished neither to hear nor to understand." "Give me my answer," he said again. "What answer can I give?" she asked, with a slight impatient movement of the hand near him. "Better would it be to ask for none. I warned you before. Be satisfied now, and leave me." "Give me my answer," he said for the third time, sternly. "I will take it from your own lips now." "Then, as you will have it," she cried, losing all moderation, "take from my own lips 'No.'" There was a long pause. Denzil's face was as white as death. Miss Trevanion's scarcely less so; while the hand that lay upon the table appeared bloodless from the intensity with which she leaned upon it. "Do you say that because my father earned his money by trade?" asked Denzil, slowly. "It cannot matter now," she answered, coldly. "Yes, it does," he went on, excitedly; "and I believe, from my heart, that that is the reason. I believe that, loving you as I do, I could in time have made you return my love had not your wretched pride stepped in to prevent it. Or can it be true what I have heard said—that you would at any risk, willingly sell yourself to gain a title? If I could bring myself to think that of you—if that were possible—Tell me, Mildred—is it the truth?" "I do not understand you," said Mildred, haughtily. "I will listen to no more of your questioning, sir. Let me pass." "It is true, then!" he exclaimed, passionately, seizing her hand to detain her. "You do not deny it! And you will sacrifice yourself to obtain possession of a mere position? I imagined you incapable of such a thing; but see how mistaken we all are in the idols we set up! I am thankful I was disillusioned in time. I am glad—yes, glad—you have refused me; as a woman who could so barter away her heart is not worthy to be the wife of any honest man." Mildred was trembling with anger. "That will do," she said. "You need not say another word. If you were to think forever, you could never say anything worse than that." Indignantly she drew away her fin- gers from his clasp as she spoke, and with the action a small turquois bracelet fell to the ground. Involuntarily Denzil stooped to pick it up, and, as she held out her hand to repossess herself of it, he slipped it round her arm and fastened it there once more. Th'en, a reckless feeling coming over him, and the small white hand he loved with such hopeless fondness being so well within his reach, he bent his head, and pressed a tender, despairing, lingering kiss upon it, after which he almost flung it from him and walked away. What a sad, final farewell it seemed to him! As for Mildred, she made no further sign, but left the room as noiselessly as she had entered it. In the hall she encountered Mabel, radiant and white-robed, who said: "What—not yet dressed, Mildred?" And Mildred answered, "I shall be down presently," quite calmly, and then went on to her room. But, when the door was closed, and securely fastened, an awful sense of desolation fell upon her. For the first time in her life she felt what it was to be alone. What had she done? What was it she had thrown away forever and ever? She sunk upon her knees by her bed, and, burrying her head in the clothes, cried as if her heart would break. When Mildred came downstairs, the ball was at its height. Denzil was there, as calm as ever, and apparently in excellent spirits, at the end of the room, conversing with her mother and old Blount. He was laughing, but his mirth was not overstrained, neither was his manner in any wise different from what it usually was; and, indeed, only one intimately acquainted with him would have noticed a certain bright gleam and glitter in his eyes which betokened feverishness. He did not look toward the door, or in any way falter in his conversation when Mildred entered. Lady Caroline saw her, however. "There is Mildred at last!" she said. "What a time the child has taken to dress; and how white she looks! I hope she has not been over-exciting herself." "Tableaux are about the most fatiguing things I know," said Denzil, quietly, looking, not where Mildred stood, while somebody was inscribing his name upon her card, but straight into Lady Caroline's eyes. "So they are," returned her ladyship to Denzil, in all good faith; "and Mildred is not too strong. Now that I see Mildred," she went on a little later, "I began to wonder where Mabel can be. I have not noticed her amongst the dancers since first she came in." Here she elevated her glasses to take an anxious maternal survey of the room. Mabel was nowhere in sight. "Where can she have gone to?" exclaimed her mother; and just at that moment her glance fell on the curtains that draped the window at the lower end of the apartment. They were slightly parted, and through the opening could be seen the balcony beyond, and on the balcony a glimpse of a white dress. "That must be Mabel," decided her ladyship impatiently. "How extremely foolish of her thus to expose herself in a thin light dress to the wintery air! Who is with her?" "My nephew, I fancy," said old Blount. "Mabel is behaving most imprudently," observed Lady Caroline with as much austercity in her tone as she was capable of. "She will have half the county talking of her presently; and there is old Lady Atherleigh at this very instant with her spectacles on, peering in their direction. Mr. Younge, will you go and tell Mabel that I want to speak to her directly." "My dear Lady Caroline," returned Denzil, "it goes to my heart to refuse you anything, even the smallest trifle; but just consider what you have asked me to do. Were I to interfere as you wish me, I should call down so many secret bad wishes and indignant looks upon my head that I have no doubt in the world the consequences would be fatal." He laughed pleasantly as he spoke; but old Blount, who had been listening, did not laugh at all, keeping prematurely grave. "My dear madam," he said, "why interfere at all? The lad is a good lad and a handsome lad, and will come in for all I have when I am gone. Let them alone." So Mabel and Roy were let alone to follow their own devices, and consequently enjoyed their evening to the utmost. Miss Sylverton, having danced seven times consecutively with Charles Trevillon, was feeling perfectly contented and at peace with herself and all the rest of the world; while Mildred, pale and beautiful, with a disturbed heart and restless mind, danced and laughed half the night with Lord Lyndon only to return to her room, when the ball had terminated, dissatisfied, weary and unsettled. A week later, and the Younges, having bidden their adious, had gone on their way homeward to the North—all except Denzil, who had consented, at the urgent request of Charles and Eddie Trevanion, to remain four days CHAPTER IX. longer, in consideration of a hunt declared to be coming off within that period at some particularly affected "meet." It had come off, and it was now indeed Denzi's last night at King's Abbott for some time to come. He had been shooting steadily all the morning, with the vigorous intention of warding off all cares and vexations that might arise to harass and disturb his mind; but as the night drew on, and the hour of departure approached more closely, his self-imposed sternness gave way, and he began painfully to understand how bitterly he should miss the sight of the cold, exquisite face of Mildred Trevandon during the two months that must elapse before he could avail himself of the pressing invitation he had received from Sir George and Lady Caroline, to come and stay with them again as soon as ever Christmas should be over their heads. "So you are really about to leave us to-morrow?" said Frances Sylverton. "I can scarcely bring myself to believe it. You have made yourself so completely one of us that I do not know how we are to get on until we see you again." "Is that from your heart?" asked Denzil, lightly, but with an understatum of extreme earnestness. "When I am far away I shall like to believe it was. Then, changing his tone to one somewhat lower, he added, "For myself I cannot bear to think of this time to-morrow evening; all will be so changed, so different." "And so you have actually made up your mind to go by the early train, Mr. Younge?" called out Miss Deverill from an opposite sofa. "Yes," answered Denzil; "I must start early, whether I like it or not, as I have particular business to transact in London to-morrow, and have let it run to the very last day." "Well, the best of such decisions is," went on Miss Deverill, "one gets over one's last speeches and adieu the night before, and so can commence the journey in the morning free and unfettered." "I should call that the worst of it, not the best," said Miss Sylverton, softly. "I could not bear to leave a house with no one ready to bid me 'good-by,' or to wish me a pleasant journey." "There are two sides to every question," answered Denill, somewhat sadly. "Taking Miss Deverill's view of the matter, you see you escape bidding final adieu, that might perhaps in many cases wring the heart." "But still, as final farewells must be said one time or the other, I think I should prefer them at the very last moment," said Frances. "Confess now, that you would always like some one to give you your breakfast, and say a kindly word to you before starting." "Well, yes, I confess I should like it," responded Denzil, "but, when one chooses to get up at such an unconscionable hour as half-past six, one must suffer the attendant penalties." "I will give you your breakfast, tomorrow morning, Mr. Younge, if you wish it," broke in Mildred's voice, calm and sweet. Denzil started—an expression of intense doubting astonishment passed over his face. He raised his eyes, and gazed steadfastly at her. Mildred herself appeared perfectly unmoved, her features being as composed as though no such unexpected words had fallen from her lips. Her fingers steadily unpicked the stitch that had somehow gone wrong in her woolwork, and did not even tremble in the act. Denzil tried hard to find some suitable words in which to clothe his appreciation of her unwonted graciousness, and to beg that, for his sake, she would not put herself to such an inconvenience—but in vain; his brain seemed in confusion, and he could only mutter "Thank you" in a hurried, unnatural manner, quite foreign to his usual courteous self. (To be continued.) Two French Western Investigators Believe Wave, W. Jeff. at 12:30 p.m. Doubt as to whether we eat to live or eat to die has been dispelled by certain French medical investigators, who have proved to their own satisfaction that we eat to die. One of these scientists recently read a paper before the Academy of Medicine, in which he advanced the theory that appendicitis is often the result of intestinal poisoning caused by influenza. Another investigator in discussing the same subject declared that the disease is caused by worms or other parasites that are swallowed with raw fruits and vegetables and in impure water. Two other French investigators have discovered by test that rabbits which have been compelled to fast for a week are proof against the attacks of bacillus injected into their systems, while rabbits that have received their regular rations quickly succumb to disease. This is probably explained by the theory that the digestive agents of the body when not employed in the assimilation of nourishment from food will be in fighting trim for the task of "doing up" any microbes that may enter their bailwicks. Prophylactic action in line with this theory would destroy the business of the butchers, grocers and bakers during times of epidemic, but it would also destroy the fasters in the course of time, and thus prove the converse of the dictum that we eat to die. There is no doubt as to the ill-effects of over-eating; and opinion is general that humanity is inclined to eat too much. The investigations of the French scientists have neither removed debult as to the real cause of appendicitis nor made it clear that humanity can escape the omnipresent microbe by habitual fasting.—Milwaukee Wisconsin. STRAIN TELLS ON DUNN MAINTAINS HIS INNOCENCE. He Does Not Know That His Two Servants, Marie Sampleton and Dell Reed, Are Under Arrest Held as Witnesses—Features of the Case. Fort Wayne, Ind., July 11.—Two days' confinement behind the bars of the county jail have affected Charles Dunn, the dreaded old man of Wallen, who is charged with the murder of little Alice Cotherell. All day he has paced about in the narrow confines of his quarters, threatening vengeance upon those who are prosecuting him. His hands are constantly in motion. Under the strain it is thought he may break down and tell what he knows of the tragedy. As yet he does not know that his two servants, Marle Sampleton and Dell Reed, are under arrest. He does not know that they were under a hot fire of questions for many hours. He still maintains his innocence. Details of the Case. Fort Wayne, Ind., July 11.—Accused of the murder of 10-year-old Alice Cothrell, and with additional evidence of his guilt coming to light every hour, Charles Dunn, 65 years old, wealthy, and the autocrat of the little village of Wallen, sits calmly in the county jail, protesting his innocence. Underneath Dunn's cell, and unknown to him, Marie Sampleton, his house servant, is confined, charged with being an accomplice in the crime. She was arrested at 8 o'clock this evening. In still in another part of the jail Del Reed, also in the employ of the old man, is locked up, held as a witness in the case. He also was arrested tonight. CHARLES DUNN. When the body of the little girl was taken from the clistern beneath the floor of the kitchen in the Dunn residence on Sunday afternoon the people of Wallen shook their heads but did not care to talk. Dunn lived in the largest house in the village. He ruled as he pleased. The people feared him. When the news of his arrest and confinement in the county jail reached them this morning the people's tongues were loosened and they told of things that had been only rumored. Work was forgotten. Every one gathered on the streets and they passed and repassed the house where the body of the little girl lay in the small white casket. Then they walked a few steps farther to the big yellow home where the deed was done. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon Dunn was brought into Justice France's court by Deputy Sheriff Huguenard for the purpose of arranging a date for the preliminary hearing. ALICE GOTHRELL Attorney Henry Colerick, representing the defendant, was not present, and after waiting some time the preliminary hearing was fixed for Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Dunn was unwilling to agree upon a time for the hearing until his attorney was present, and Prosecutor Emrick stated that in case the date was not satisfactory to the defense another would be arranged. Dunn held some conversation with his farm hand with reference to the farm work, and was then led back to jail. The accused man was perfectly cool and self-possessed while in the courtroom.

CONSUMPTION Fish 150 Years Old. There are some goldfish in Washington which have belonged to the same family for the last fifty years and they seem no bigger and no less vlacious today than they did when they first came into the owner's possession. A few of the fish in the Royal Aquarium at St. Petersburg are known to be 150 years old and the age of the sacred fish in some of the ponds attached to the Buddhist temples in China is to be counted by centuries if we are to believe the priests. Strawberry Vinegar. Put two quarts of strawberries into a stone jar and pour over them one quart of good cider vinegar. Cover and stand aside for two days, then drain off the liquid without mashing the berries, pour it over a quart of fresh fruit, and stand as before. Do this once more, the last time straining through a muslin bag. Now add one pound of sugar to every pint of this liquid. Boil slowly five minutes, skim let stand fifteen minutes, bottle and seal. A Year Novel Watch: In Zurich a very novel watch has just been made. It forms the cup or heart of a jeweled flower, which is intended to be worn as an ornament. The flower itself can be opened or closed by touching a tiny spring, and when it is closed the little watch is not visible. When a lady wearing such an ornament desires to know the time all she has to do is to touch the spring, whereupon the flower opens and the watch is revealed. A Major's Experience. Major Scott, says the Jimtown Ananias, being suddenly awakened last night, found five snakes in bed with him. The major jumped out of the front window and climbed a tree. He had not been there long before a hurricane blew the tree down; the tree fell on the house, smashed the roof, demolished the bed, and killed all the snakes. The only damage the major suffered was having a couple of his legs broken. Peter Cooper's Way. The unveiling of the Peter Cooper tablet in the building that was named for him in New York not unnaturally reminds us of the fact that there was something good in the good old days, not the least of which was the philanthropist who did what he could for the race without boasting of it, and who even sought to hide the bulk of his gifts from the public eye.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Dublin University Honors American. The honorary degree of doctor of laws has been tendered by the University of Dublin to Hannis Taylor of Mobile, formerly United States minister to Spain and author of "Origin and Growth of the English Constitution" and of "International Public Law," and he was requested to be present in the city of Dublin, Ireland, in order to receive it in person on June 27. Mexicans Adhere to Candles. Candles are extensively used in Mexico, owing to the great expense of petroleum. A bookkeeper may be seen making his entries in a great ledger by the light of a single candle. A Mexican printer can work with a candlestick stuck carelessly into one of his boxes, and two tailors in the small shops can be seen sharing the rays of a single dip. Money and Sweetheart Gone: For five years Miss Bertha Hoyt and Ernest Bixby of Bridgeport, Conn., were engaged to be married. Ernest gave his sweetheart a part of his weekly earnings to save for him. Two months ago burglaries broke into the Hoyt residence and stole the money. Now the sweetheart has eloped with another man. Money Returned to Subscriber A great many persons were much put out by President McKinley's inability to keep his New England engagements. In Worcester, Mass., for instance, 300 tickets at $10 each had been sold for the banquet projected in his honor, and the money was returned to subscribers. Among other lines of manufacture in which Baltimore leads the world is that of making showcases, and not only does Baltimore's output exceed that of any other city on the globe, but it was also one of the first to construct this useful article. Barley Production: Of the 2,080,000,000 bushels of barley produced by the civilized countries of the world Russia produces by far the largest amount. Next in order comes Austria, which is followed by Germany, the United States, England and Spain. Studying Our Commercial Methods. Loo Chin An, a high Chinese official and a commissioner of commerce, arrived in San Francisco recently, sent by his government to examine the commercial methods and history of this country. . Bried Twelve Extra Firemen. Three passengers who left New York on the steamship St. Paul recently paid for twelve extra firemen in order to keep a dinner engagement in London the next Wednesday evening. The Oldest Lifeboat South Shields, England, is said to possess the oldest lifeboat in existence. It has been in use since 1830, and by means of it 1,028 persons have been rescued. Work of Livingstone's Daughters The two surviving daughters of Dr Livingstone recently opened the extension of Livingstone College at Leyton, England, founded eight years ago for training in medicine and surgery those missionaries about to depart for far away stations where they would be called up to play the part of doctors as often as that of priest. It was because Livingstone himself was such a splendid example of the medically trained missionary that the fine college at Leyton was erected to his memory. Boy Story-Writer's Honor A monument to the late Rev. Elijah Kellogg, the preacher and writer of books for boys, is projected in Maine, and three towns are laying claim to its location—Portland, the city of his birth; Brunswick, where he was educated, and Harpswell, the little seacoast town where he preached for so many years and where he died. Some of his friends suggest that the monument be erected in Portland and memorial tablets be placed in Brunswick and Harpswell. Transvaal Gets New Stamps First Transvaal Gets New Stamps First. The first stamps to be issued by the British government bearing the imprint of King Edward VII, will be a complete set for use in the Transvaal, says a London newspaper. The government designers are now at work on the pattern, which is understood to be a profile of his majesty on a background of deep carmine. At the same time the imprint of the King when Prince of Wales has been used by one or two of the colonies. One Woman in Business. A Chicago broker recently found a postal card in his morning mail reading as follows: "Dear Sir—Please buy me five thousand shares of People's Gas at 95 cents and sell the same at $1.15. After deducting your commission you may remit the balance in a registered letter. Yours respectfully, Mrs. Bland. P. S.—My future patronage depends upon the promptness with which you act in executing the above order." Married Each Other Often. John and Mary Burkett, of Kokomo, Ind, began marrying each other about forty years ago, and have kept it up at intervals ever since. They have had three divorces and four weddings, neither having wedded another in the meantime. Kokomo also reports another couple, Henry and Myrtle Mohn, who have been married to each other three times, and are now living happily. Waves Checked by Nets. Baron Benvenuto d'Alessandro, an Italian, has invented a means of checking the force of waves by means of nets made of waterproof hemp. One recently tried with success at Havre was 360 feet long and fifty feet wide, with meshes eleven inches apart. The nets will break the waves at sea, and will also be a bulwark for hydraulic works against heavy surf. Policeman's Christian Association Canon Hobson, the founder of the Policeman's Christian association, has arrived at New York. This association was founded eighteen years ago in a cellar in Liverpool. It had three members at the start, but today has over 100,000 throughout Great Britain and her colonies. He comes over to visit his sister in Fulton, Oswego county, New York. Real Coral the Cheaper A store in New York which makes a specialty of fancy articles for woman's wear recently displayed in a window two chains of coral beads. One was of round, smoothly polished beads and bore the legend, "Imitation coral, 65 cents." The other, of ragged, uncut coral, was marked, "Real coral, 25 cents." Wheat Belt Around Wichita The Kansas wheat belt centers around Wichita. Within a hundred-mile radius of the town fully 60 per cent of the wheat of Kansas was raised, while in seventeen counties of southern and central Kansas 50 per cent of the yield was reaped. In northern Kansas but little wheat is raised. Damage: Sult Lawyer's Wealth: A lawyer named Patterson died a few days ago in Brooklyn, leaving about $1,000,000, nearly all made by conducting damage suits in cases of accidents and personal injuries, the defendants being chiefly street railroad and similar corporations. Poems by King James I An interesting literary discovery is reported from Oxford, where a number of hitherto unknown poems by King James I. have been found in the Bodleian library. They are stated to be undoubtedly genuine and bear the royal autograph. Travelling with Ox Teams.

More immigrants are said to be arriving from Europe this year than ever before. Most of them come from southern Europe and Scandinavia. Italy furnishes the largest quota this season. Most of them are coming west to work on railroad extensions of the Burlington, Union Pacific and Great Northern. Italians, it is said, are the best track workers that can be obtained, and they are replacing the Chinese heretofore employed by the railroads on the Pacific coast. Latest End of Critics. The latest fad of critics, the New York Press says, is to rebel against the names of months. They point out that it is absurd for Europeans and Americans of today to dedicate one-sixth of the year to the memory of Julius Caesar and Augustus, to name a third after heathen gods and goddesses, to have two months of doubtful nomenclature, and to designate the remaining four by misleading numericals, September being obviously ninth and not seventh in order. "Papering Up" Silk Goods. Silk goods should not be folded in white paper, as the chloride of lime used in bleaching the paper will impare the color of the silk. Brown or blue paper is better; yellow India paper is better still. Silk intended for dress should not be kept in the house long, as lying in folds causes it to crack or split. White satin dresses should be pinned up in blue paper, with coarse brown paper on the outside, sewed together at the edges. Lord Chancellor of England: Lord Halsbury, the Lord Chancellor of England, is the son of Dr. Stanley Lees Giffard, who was editor of the London Standard for twenty-seven years. His grandfather, a noted Dublin politician of the union period, John Giffard, had for more than a generation the sole editorial control of the Dublin Journal, which had been started and for fifty year edited by George Faulkner, the friend of Swift and Chesterfield. Britain Degenerating Physical Y British Delegating Physician According to Arnold White, an English critic, the inhabitants of the British Isles are degenerating physically. He bases his conclusions on the results of recruiting for the Boer war. In the Manchester district alone 8,000 out of 11,000 men who offered themselves for military service were certified unit to endure a soldier's life. Sultan Doctors Himself. The Sultan of Turkey is devoted to the study of chemistry and has given a good deal of time to the study of medicine, a study which he first took up because of fears that his life was in danger from poison. He now doctors his own alliments so long as they are not of a serious nature. German Schools Abroad: The German government supports 125 schools in foreign countries. There are German schools now in Constantinople, Buenos Ayres, Antwerp, Brussels, Bucharest, Pretoria and Johannesburg. In Brazil there are twenty-nine schools, in Chile twelve, in Roumania twelve, and in British dominions twelve. Professional Ranger Learner Professional Beggar Leaves Fortune. A professional beggar of Budapest, who died recently, had amassed the very comfortable sum of £42,000. This he bequeathed to the University of Pressburg, where he had made much money in his early days by swindling. NOTICE TO REDEEM FROM TAX SALE. State of Iowa. Polk County, ss: To Margaret A.

Death comes to us all, and the wise man provides in advance for meeting the expense of his own funeral or that of members of his family. The Des Moines Funeral Reform Association has been organized for the purpose of providing first-class funerals for its members at a moderate cost, and thus avoid excessive charges. Any person may become a member of this Association for a period of ten years for the sum of one dollar, and as such members will be entitled, in case of death in the family, to a well-trimmed casket, the use of a hearse, five hacks, the undertaker's services and chairs for the sum of forty-five ($45.00) dollars.

In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

Mr. John Junkins was employed by Fred Stelles, who runs a meat market on East Main. It is a mystery how a man who had been in this same barn 700 times a year would not know where the door was. I think he was played with too much by his friends, who were always playing pranks on him for fun, and if this had not of been seriously we would of known all about it. He was spoken of being a little tanked up. Now if you know of him as everybody does in Ottumwa, you will find that he is that way seven days out of the week and thrown in for good measure. Mr. Junkins was well known to nearly one in Ottumwa and has a great many friends that always pranked with him in every way. He was taken to the hospital, where he died at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. He was very well taken care of by the hospital servants and was treated as nice as anyone. Chief John Tray stayed by him until business called him away. Mr. and Mrs. Junkins are well respected colored people and are good citizens. Chief John Tray stayed by Bloomfield for burial Tuesday. Many friends mourn his loss. He was a K.

Fire Follows the Collision on the Alton Road Near Norton, Mo.—Facing Stream Scalds—Both Engineers Are Dead. Kansas City, Mo. July 12.—Later reports show that seventeen persons were killed, several are dying, and more than forty received serious hurts in the wrecking of an Alton passenger train from Chicago and a live stock train near Norton, Mo. Fire added to the horror of the disaster, the coaches being ablaze within a few minutes after the wreck occurred. The diner chair car, and several other coaches were destroyed. Many of the passengers were burned or scalded by escaping steam. Six were killed outright, four died on a train conveying them to this city, and four died in the hospitals. The wreck was the result of a head end collision between the Chicago and Alton train No. 7, which left Chicago at 6:30 o'clock last night, and a live stock train, north-bound. Following is a list of the dead: P. J. Anderson, Slater, Mo., engineer of freight train; Frank M. Briggs, Slater, Mo., engineer of passenger train; beautiful girl of 20, supposed to be Mrs. Curtis' daughter; died at University hospital; Mrs. R. J. Curtis, Geneseo, N. Y.; died at University Hospital; Mrs. Dickson, 57 years old; died at hospital; Daniel Donnelly, of Mexico, Mo., fireman of the freight train; died at University hospital; Mrs. Clrman, Goodland, Ind.; Mrs. S. A. D. Harry, Hoopeston, Ill.; D. W. Hooker, Syracuse, N. Y.; died on train; Sydney Jones, Kansas City; died in hospital; Daniel McAnna, Slater, Mo., conductor of freight train; J. S. Raser, Chicago, express messenger; G. L. Royer, cashier of the Wilmington (Ill.) bank; died on train coming to hospital; Miss Lulu Rider, 25 years old, Kentland, Ind.; Mrs. C. W. Snyder, Jasper, N. Y.; died on train on to hospital; Mrs. Frances Walker, Flatbush, Brooklyn; unidentified woman, elderly. Of the many who were injured several will die. Both engineers are dead. The conductor of the freight, the baggagemaster and three passengers made up the rest of the list. There has been such desperate rescue work at the scene of the accident that few names of the injured are obtainable. Most of the victims were fearfully mangled and some of them were burned so that they cannot be recognized. Relief trains loaded with physicians and nurses have started from here and other points. It was one of those terrible head-on collisions, with all the attendant horrors of demolished engines, telescoped cars and mutilated human beings. The trains rushed into each other at full speed, the engines climbed one over the other and fell at the side of the track, and cars plowed through other cars as if they were made of paper. Farmers living two miles away heard the crash as the two monsters came together. Members of the train crew hurried to the assistance of the panic stricken pnickers, but it was some time before quiet was restored. Conductor Sullivan, who was in charge of the train, and Ticket Agent Rich, secured the names of six persons injured and left for Chicago to report the accident. Chicago Heat Breaks Record. Chicago, July 12—At 3 o'clock 102 degrees Fahrenheit; at 7:40 o'clock 66 degrees. All records in the local weather bureau went to pieces yesterday before such a thermometrical performance. With a hot west wind fanning the thermometer, the mercury climbed past the previous high record of the bureau—100 degrees on July 16, 1897. Up to 2 a. m. today thirty prostrations were reported. That there were no deaths and no more persons overcome was attributed to the dryness of the air. Cloverst. Penslon. Sharks. Charleston, S. C., July 12.—The pension bureau at Washington is making a final and determined effort to put an end to the frauds which have been perpetrated in the coast counties of South Carolina. It is remarkable that white the negro pension sharks come from an ignorant, sand-hill race, they show an ingenuity for swindling which would do honor to more cultivated rogues working on a larger scale. For years the South Carolina pension frauds have been notorious. Cloudburst Almost Destroys Town. St. Paul, Minn., July 12.—A Helena, Mont., special to the Dispatch says: "A deluge of rain amounting to a cloudburst, washed away nearly the entire town of Corbin, twenty miles south of Helena, and the Big Peck concentrator there last night, according to messages received in Helena." Explosion at El Paso Smelter El Paso, Texas, July 11—An explosion in the engine room of the El Paso smelter started a fire at 6 o'clock this morning. The fire was confined to the furnace department and shipers having ore at the smelter will lose nothing. The damage can not yet be estimated. Danles Paris Bank Deal New York, July 11.—William P.

Educators' Convention at Detroit Gets Down to Business Detroit, Mich., July 12—The convention of the National Educational association has settled down to actual business. There were occasional rumblings from the storm over the report on a national university that had passed. The discussions of "What Constitutes a Fad?" "Is the Curriculum Overcrowded?" and "The Centralization of Rural Schools" became lively at times. The business of the convention was taken up and the nominating committee will recommend to the convention the name of William M. Beardshear of Ames, Ia., president of the association. Illinois, which was represented among the twelve vice presidents last year by Colonel Francis W. Parker, will not have a place next year if the report of the committee is adopted. State Superintendent Alfred Baylliss is nominated for a place on the board of directors. Superintendent F. Louis Soldan of St. Louis started the discussion of fads by reading a paper on the subject. Among the things specified by Superintendent Soldan as fads were: "The three R fad, the education makes criminals fad, the spelling fad, the quick promotion fad, the extreme indulgence fad, the fad of superfluity and the fad of eccentricity." His conclusion was that the public schools are intended for education which is of common value, and not for specific walks of life. New studies introduced in the schools, he said, must have some accountable reason to the public. THE OBITUARY RECORD Mrs. Martha Patterson Dead. Knoxville, Tenn., July 12.—A special to the Sentinel from Greenville, Tenn., says: "Mrs. Martha Patterson, the last of the children of ex-President Andrew Johnson, died at 4:15 a. m. Her last hours were peaceful. She will be buried near her father and by the side of her husband in the Johnson family cemetery west of Greenville, where a magnificent shaft of Tennessee marble marks the last resting place of one of the three Presidents given the nation by Tennessee. Mrs. Patterson's death leaves only five survivors in the Johnson family." Death of A. K. Seeberger. Des Moines, In., July 12—Anthony F. Seeberger, treasurer of the World's Columbian Exposition, and for many years prominent in Chicago's business life, died here of pneumonia. He came to Des Moines three months ago at a call from a slick relative. Mr. Seeberger was the collector of the port of Chicago during President Cleveland's first administration. He also was one of the organizers of the Edison Electric Light company. He was born in Wetzlar, Prussia, in 1829. DAILY MARKET REPORT. Woman Lashes a Thief. Austin, ill., July 12.-While a dozen men stood in a circle to prevent escape Mrs. William McGill of Austin applied a cattle whip to the back and legs of the man who had stolen her purse. As the men cheered and the thief begged for mercy the woman, who is small and fragile in appearance, swung the whip with increased vigor, until the wretch who was taking the drubbing fell to the floor, pleading that the punishment might cease. Then, although the police had been summoned, the thief was allowed to go free. Lumberman Lynch a Shinaman: Lumbermen Lych a Chinaman. Bakersfield, Cal., July 12—Young Fook, a Chinese cook employed at a boarding-house at Mount Breckenridge lumber mill, thirty-five miles east of Bakersfield, in the mountains, was lynched by lumbermen. The Chinaman attacked Mrs. Kenney, wife of the foreman of the mill, with a butcher knife, inflicting a serious wound on her face. He struck Mrs. Kenney's little daughter, but the injury is slight. Ollcloth Combine Formed. Youngstown, O., July 12.—The combine of light oilcloth companies of the country, to be known as the Standard Table Oilcloth company, was effected to-day under the laws of New Jersey. The capital stock is $10,000,000, underwritten by Youngstown capitalists. The combine consists of seven concerns. It is expected that this city will be headquarters of the new combine. Brown Goes with Unger. Chicago, Ill., July 12—F. Wayland Brown, haggard, restless, and apparently without hope, stood before Judge Tuley and, with Dr. August M.

The application will be rejected notwithstanding his prior registration. If any applicant shall register more than his true name, or shall transfer his registration certificate, he will thereby lose all the benefits provided for, and will be precluded from entering or setting upon any of said lands during the first sixty days following said open life. THE NEUTRAL STRIP. Because of the provision of the said act of Congress, approved June 6, 1950, the lands called and known as part of said lands called and known as the 'neutral strip' shall have preference right for thirty days after the lands have been located and improved; the said lands in the 'neutral strip' shall for thirty days after the township and townsite entry only by those who have heretofore located upon and imputed to the township and townsite entry only by those who have heretofore located upon and imputed to a preference right of entry for thirty days as aforesaid. Persons entitled to make entry under the present provision shall have been made only a time during said period of thirty days following the opening without previous registration of that period the lands in said township herein provided for, and at the expiration of that period the lands in said township herein provided for, and have been made will come under the general provisions of this proclamation.

The local officers will forthwith transmit said petition to the commission of the general land office with the record of the present presence. Such commissioners, if he believes the public interests will be subserved thereby, will, if the secretary of the Interior approve thereof, issue an order withdrawing the lands described in such petition, or any portion thereof, from homestead entry and settlement, and directing that the same be held for the time being for town-s름s. The land office shall be held only. In such event the lands so withheld from homestead entry and settlement will, at the time of said opening and not before, become subject to settlement, entry, and disposition under the general township laws of the United States. None of said ceded lands will be subject to settlement, entry, or disposition under the general township laws of the United States. In the manner herein prescribed, except in the manner hereof, the land office shall, after the expiration of sixty days from the time of said opening. TOWNSITES. Attention is hereby especially called to the fact that under the special provisions of the Act of Congress, March 3, 1901, the townsite selected and designated at the county seats of the counties of the township can not be formed can not be disposed of under the general townsite laws of the state of New York, and of in the special manner provided in act of Congress, which declares: "The township shall, in advance of the opening, be surveyed, subdivided and platted under the township, and incorporated into appropriate lots, blocks, streets, alleys and sites for parks or public buildings. Provided that no person shall purchase more than one business and one residence in the township, sold at public auction to the highest bidder, under the direction of the secretary. WISE OR OTHERWISE. No philosopher can give a reason for half that he thinks. A man without a conscience is a man without principle. The high premium on honesty proves that it is the best policy. Pride and folly cost some people more than their actual necessities. Spite enables the fool to believe he is happy in his unhappiness. A good business qualification is the ability to attend to one's own business. of the interior, at sales to be had at the opening and subsequent thereto. opening persons are especially admonished that under the said act of Congress, approved March 3, 1901, it is provided that persons under the said act of Congress, upon occupy or enter any of said ceded lands except in the manner prescribed in the manner prescribed in the piration of sixty days from the time when the same are opened to settlement and entry.

Among the most popular flowers on to-day are the lovely peonies in varied tints of rose, pale crimson and purple. The petals of some varieties are as large as saucers, and being of a satiny texture, and drooping in graceful foliis, they attract a good deal of attention. It is pleasing to know that these tree peonies will grow in any good soil without much trouble, consequently the whole tribe should be found a place in every garden. They give a fine effect in beds on lawns, or may be grown in pots and taken into the conservatory at the present season when at their highest beauty. Some of the newest kinds measure nine inches across the bloom. These peonies die down in autumn, and start growth with renewed vigor in spring. The gold-flowered Ethiopian lily is another beautiful thing that ladies procure as a fitting companion to the pure white variety. There is also quite a novel pink flower form, but as yet quite rare; it was discovered recently in Rhodesia. Many dwellings are now adorned with the lovely climbing Wisteria sinensis, which is unequalled for the sinensis when in flower. The fine pendulums racemes of a rich lavender color remind of a bunch of grapes from the way they hang on the branches. They are produced so freely that at the present season there seem more blossoms than leaves. The Wisteria is quite hardy and its stems extend to a great length each summer. Young plants can be bought very cheap, and we strongly recommend this elegant climber to those who do not know it. A group of pretty flowering plants that deserve greater attention than they receive are the double-flowered ivy leaved geranium. Few plants compare with them for balconies or window boxes or to hang down from stagings in the conservatory or from baskets; the foliage alone is handmade, whilst the flowers which are produced so freely, right through the summer, are both bright and hasting. They look magnificent when trained along twilis work in sunny positions. THE PRICE OF CHOCOLATE When, on drinking your cup of chocolate at breakfast, you find a sediment deposited in the bottom of the cup, you may feel sure that this insoluble stuff is the adulterant with which the chocolate is cheapened to such a degree that the beverage far from its source of production costs less than 1 does in the place where it is produced in South America the retail price for the better grades of chocolate averager about $1 per pound, while in Italy France, England and in the United States the better grades sell at a much lower price. In America the ordinary chocolate sells for about one-third of the price that is charged for it where it is produced. The cause of this, the producers say, is that the original product is adulterated greatly before reaching its final market, a cheaper article than the cocoa bean constituting the large proportion of 90 per cent of the chocolates of commerce. The cocoa bean from which chocolate is manufactured is produced in its finest form in Venezuela, though various other parts of Central and South America grow and export large quantities. Two crops of the bean are gathered each year, and the manufacture consists simply in grinding up the beans into meal and then adding sugar and arrowroot, with the necessary flavor—usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass is moistened until it is in a semi-fluid state, after which it is run into molds of the proper shape—New York Press. Maurice Barrymore's Witty Retort. The clever wit of the recently demented actor, Maurice Barrymore, is still the foremost subject in the circle of the unfortunate man's friends. On one occasion, when Barrymore was visited by a number of friends, one of them dropped a 50-cent piece on the floor, and, search high and low, the money could not be found. "Wonder where it went to!" one remarked. "Went to the devil, I guess," said the loser. "Trust you for making 50 cents go further than any one else." safe Barrymore—New York Times.

Young; Attorney General, M. B. McCarthy; State Treasurer, R. P. Alshire; Board Public Works, James B. Holman. Jotsonson's Pimurke Win. Columbus, O., July 11. The Democratic state convention met here today under peculiar circumstances. All the more conservative elements had combined in the preliminaries against the friends of Mayor Tom L. Johnson, but the combination was not maintained after the committee was selected, and during the all-night session of the committee on resolutions it was claimed that the McLean and Kilbourn men were no longer co-operating against the propositions of the Johnson men on the platform and organization. The contest was in the committee on resolutions and on both national and state issues. The Johnson men won on their favorite views on state matters and the others on national issues There is no reaffirmation at the Kansas City or any other platform. There is no mention of previous platforms or of Bryan. The subcommittee of seven that drafted the platform stood four to three in favor of the conservatives, but the full committee rejected both the majority and the minority reports and then picked out such parts of each as were voted in section by section. The full committee did not stand the same on all sections or planks. The three planks of the Johnson men on franchises, steam and electric railways and corporation taxation were adopted as amendments. The convention was not called to order until about 11 o'clock by Chairman Brucker, when prayer was offered by the Rev. John Hewitt. Charles P. Salerw was greeted with an ovation on being introduced as temporary chairman. THE FIRE RECORD Fireman: Falls Thirty Foot New York, July 11—Thomas Langford, chief of the fifth battalion of the New York fire department, was thrown thirty feet by the breaking of a ladder at 88 Prince street today. His back is so badly wrenched that the surgeons at St. Vincent's hospital do not expect him to live. It is feared his spine is broken. The fire, which burned for an hour before it could be found, caused a damage of at least $40,000, though it was confined to the ostrich feather establishment of Julius Sauko & Co., in which it started. Fire in Power Plant. St. Louis, Mo., July 11.—Fire started shortly after 6 o'clock this morning in the coal storage house of the St. Louis, Transit company at Vandeverenter and Park avenues. The firemen are greatly handicapped by inadequate water supply, and it is estimated that the loss will be at least $100,000. The coal house is 250*50 feet and is filled with burning coal. The main offices and power house of the company are located there. South Side cars are not running. Free Delivery Wagon Buses Sterling, IK., July 12.—The mail stage which runs between Morrison and Fair Haven, Ill., caught fire and was burned to the wheels. The team took fright and ran for over a mile, thus fanning the blaze. Driver John Croaker was injured by jumping from the burning vehicle. One sack of mail was burned and several others were scattered along the road. No passengers were in the vehicle. Arizona Swell by Storm Phoenix, Ariz. July 11. A storm of wide and in some places very heavy dimensions has swept over central Arizona, breaking the heated spell of unusual length and intensity. In parts of the Salt river valley rain was of sufficient volume to be of vast benefit to grain and fruit crops and in the mountains to the north the storm was a hard one. In the vclhency of Prescott and as far east as Jerome and south to Mayer, telephone wires are down. Hinsey Is Out of the K. P.'s Hinsay Is Out of the K. P.'s. Chicago, July 12—John A. Hinsey, once the head of the Endowment Rank, Knights of Pythias, quit the board of control last night, threatened with civil and even criminal prosecution. After hours spent in defending his actions, explaining this, denying that, and blaming some one else for the other thing, the Supreme Lodge, by a vote of 10 to 1, adopted the report of the board of control with its many severe charges. Younger Brothers Are Freed: Younger Brothers are Freed. St. Paul, Minn., July 12.—The state pardon board at noon today approved the parole of Coleman and James Younger, who have been in the Still-water penitentiary for the last twenty-five years for complicity in the robbery and murder at the time of the raid on the Northfield, Minn., bank. The friends of the Youngers have worked for their pardons for over twenty years. Brill Pays a Fine of $500. Laporte, Ind., July 12—Jossew W. Brill, the Cleveland mine owner, charged with an attempt on the life of Attorney E. E. Weir, appeared in court and entered a plea of guilty to assault and battery. Judge Richer imposed a fine of $500, which was immediately paid. FNDEAVOR SESSION ENDED Twentieth International Convention Is a Success. In Suite of Attendance Net at Large as Expected the Meetings at Cincinnati Prove Gratifying to the Officers— Missourians Talk. Cincinnati, O., July 12.—The twentieth international convention of the United Society of Christian Endeavor has been brought to a close. In attendance the meeting was not up to expectations, but that failed to detract from the interest in the exercises and addresses that were prepared for the visitors. Discussions of missionary work and stories of their experiences in far off lands by those who labor in them were leading features in the final day's meeting. One minister who went through the siege of Peking gave a description of those days of dread. The session was a brilliant success. Both President Clark and Secretary Bea expressed themselves as highly gratified with the convention. President Clark presided at the meeting in Auditorium Endeavor. The Rev. Willis P. Hothokks of East Coast, Africa, said: "The saddest thing I know of in this world is the fruitless efforts of Africa's multitudes to find a way to God. Rather than ridicule their pagan worships we should see in them the instincts that these people have of the God of which they know but so little." The story of the siege of the City of Peking was told by the Rev. Courtenay H. Fenn, one of the ministers besieged by the Boxers. He said the missionaries stand ready to return to these shambles and again begin their work. Says England Injures India: Says England Injured India. The Rev. J. P. Jones of India stated that for many centuries India was a sober nation till the coming of the Anglo-Saxon with his drinks, and to-day drunkenness is not only permissible, but by many is regarded as a mark of certain distinction. If England should evacuate India to-day, he said, the greatest evidence of her occupancy would be the number of empty whisky bottles. Money Spent by Americans. The Rev. George Darsie of Frankfort, Ky., in an address on mission work said: "The drink bill of the United States is a billion dollars yearly. Its tobacco bill is $600,000,000. Its candy bill is $75,000,000. Then its chewing gum bill is $25,000,000, but its bill for world-wide missions is a pitiful $5,000,000. BASEBALL GAMES American League.

Parkersburg, W. Va., July 12—Little progress was made today in the trial of Ellis Glenn, the girl-man, accused of forgery. There is considerable speculation whether the prisoner will be required to don the male apparel she wore when she was brought back here from Hillsboro, Ill. Judge Jackson notified the officials that great care should be taken of the clothing, as it would be used in the trial, and that the prisoner would be required to appear in this attire that witnesses could have a chance to identify her. Three Burglars Are Caught Three Burgers are Caught. Frankfort, Ind., July 12—Three Indianapolis burglaries came to grief at Colfax when trying to burglarize the general store of E. H. Johnson. The men were discovered entering the store by James Eberhard, who immediately summoned assistance and opened fire on the gang. Arthur Mortenbeck, one of the thieves, was shot through the leg. He escaped, but was this morning arrested near Darlington Harry Smith and Earle Roberts surrendered, and are in jail in this city. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS Ponchers Are Now Active. Quebec, July 12.—The Canadian authorities are threatened with as much trouble from the poachers of the Saguenay as they have had with the smugglers of the St. Lawrence. The former are growing even more daring in their open defiance of the officers of the law than the smugglers ever were. The tributaries of the Saguenay are among the finest natural salmon streams in Canada, but the ponchers spread their nets in the Saguenay between the mouth of the river and the estuaries of the salmon streams and intercept the fish as they come up from the sea to ascend to their spawning grounds. Starts New "Rover" Moxa: Shanghai, July 12.—A new "boxer" movement is being started, according to Chinese intelligence from Slang-Fu-Pu Chun, the heir apparent, with other members of Prince Tuan's family, has gone to Join Tuan on the borders of Mongolia and there are strong indications that Prince Tuan is preparing to march against the foreigners with the tacit approval of the empress dowager. Martial Law in Seville. Seville, Spain, July 12.—Martial law has been proclaimed here, owing to the turbulence of the strikers. A mob last night paraded the streets, hurling stones promiscuously until a late hour. The streets are now patrolled by troops. Reports Defeat of Boers. London, July 12.—Severe fighting, according to a dispatch to the Daily Express from Lourenzo Marques, has taken place between Machadodorp and Leydenburg, the Boers being defeated with at least fifty killed.

HAS £56,000,000 TO GIVE AWAY Andrew Carnegie Talks of Future Benefactions to New Yorkers. New York, July 11.—The Herald says Andrew Carnegie has这 $56,000,000 to give away in public benefactions. Mr. Carnegie himself is authority for this statement, which he made recently at Skibo castle to a member of the New York chamber of commerce committee, who is now in the city, but wishes his name kept secret. Several members of the New York chamber of commerce delegation which went to England recently visited Mr. Carnegie at Skibo castle, and with them he discussed his gifts to the public. He remarked that in the future he meant to make other donations, more extensive even than heretofore, to public institutions. According to Mr. Carnegie he is still undecided in what manner to dispose of his wealth for the public good. He wishes the public to obtain the best results from his future benefactions, and for that reason has not yet formulated any philanthropic statements. Mr. Carnegie admitted that free libraries and other educational institutions would undoubtedly obtain a portion of the millions in question, in order that the plans he had previously adopted should be fully developed. His hearers judged from what he said that he was considering the advisability of directing his wealth toward endowing and supporting art galleries, scientific museums and similar institutions. Alameda, Cal., July 11.—Andrew Carnegie has given this city $35,000 for a public library building. TELEPHONE WAR LIKELY. Independent Association to Pursue an Aggressive Policy in East. New York, July 11.—President Thomas of Cleveland, O., the newly elected president of the Independent Telephone Association of America, said: "I came here from Cleveland to take charge of the operation and construction of an independent telephone system in New York and Boston. Plans are also being laid for the construction of a long distance line between the two cities. It is the intention of the telephone, telegraph and cable company to pursue an aggressive policy in the east, where the independent telephone movement has been practically neglected. The construction of a system in New York and Boston will cost about $9,000,000." County Official Sentenced. Minden, Neb., July 12—County Treasurer Alfred Norlin, who confessed to the embezzlement of $10,000 of county funds, and admitted he set the courthouse on fire to cover his crime, will be taken to the penitentiary at Lincoln. At 4 p., m. at Norlin's request, a special session of the district court was convened, and the embezzled treasurer entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to six years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $5,400. Cloudburst Wrecks a Tcaln. Helena, Mont., July 12.—A cloud-burst at Sanders, in the eastern part of the state, caused damage to the Northern Pacific track and wrecked passenger train No. 3, eastbound, while going thirty-five miles an hour. Water had undermined the track. The passengers were shaken up but not injured. Every car except the last two sleepers left the track, some of them plunging into a regular lake caused by the heavy fall of water. A. D.

"I thought so," continued the inquisitive one; "may I ask what you were eured of?" The late Rev. R. S. Storrs was a very hard man to interview, for he resented the inquisitiveness of the press, and was icy to its agents. One evening a reporter attended a reception at his house, and, in the course of the evening, touched his arm and whispered: "Doctor, I'm from the army, I want to all the particulars." "Yes, Dr. Storrs whispered in return; "this way, this way," and, taking the young man's arm, he escorted him to the front door and put him out. The day following the accident to Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger Shamrock II, King Edward the Seventh was talking to certain of his friends, when one of them happened to remark that the only things that escaped intact from the disaster were the boom and the staysail. "Was the boom all right?" quickly asked the king, "So I understand, sir," was the reply. "That makes the accident more extraordinary," remarked King Richard, "divide" for, if Sir Thomas Lipton's "boom has not suffered, how are we to account for the bringing down of his sales." Julian Corbett may be said to have established himself as an authority on the history of the British navy. A while ago Mr. Corbett wrote to the admiralty to suggest that a new first class battleship then building be christened "Drake." A formal intimation that his letter had been received and should have due attention was followed, after a decent interval, in which signified reply from My Lords, in which impressed their regret at not being able to build Corbett's suggestion, and explained that it would be contrary to precedent to name a first class battleship after a ship. When the Transvaal war was at its height, Paul Kruger sent a commissioner to England to find out if there were any more men left there. The commissioner wired from London to say that there were four million men and women knocking about the town that there was no excitement, and that men were going to be sent to fight the Boers. Kruger wired back, "Go north." The commissioner found himself in Newcastle eventually, and wired to Kruger: "For God's sake, stop war! England is bringing up men from hell, eight at a time, in cages!" He had seen a coal mine. **DO YOUR CLOTHES LOOK YELLOW?** If so, use RUSS Bleaching Blue. It will make them white as snow.

After the ceremony the bridegroom moves the flower in his hands from left to right, for in various parts of Spain to wear a rose above your right ear is to proclaim yourself a wife. Thus the rose takes the place of the ring. Do you ever think you made a costly mistake? He is truly fortunate that knoweth not the sick bed. Keep right along in the right way and divide not. A voter in Galway, Ireland, received from a candidate, just before election day, a rather strong-smelling hare. He objected to taking it, but the donor begged him to have no minigivings, as there was no possible question of bribery in the matter. He also said Pat, "it's"—and he sniffed the hare—"just a matter of corruption." Lady Glentworth of England is one of the few remaining ladies who serve as interesting links with a dim andustian past. Lady Glentworth was in prison for fewer than five different reigns; those of George III, George IV., William VI., the late Queen Victoria, and of the present king, Edward VII. She has been twice married. It is curious to note that she was about forty-two years old when she married the heiress, Helen, and who lived to celebrate her golden wedding with him, and now has become his widow. Cardinal Pedro Gonzalez, who was a pious man and believed in the gospel of pence, once noticed that a priest of his train carried a weapon under his cloak. Whereupon the cardinal reproved him, saying that a cleric should not carry arms. "True," answered the priest, humbly, "but I carry the weapon only to defend myself should I be attacked by a dog." "In that case," said the cardinal, "and if I saw a dog running toward me, I should begin to recite the gospel of John." "That," returned the priest, "would be a wise thing indeed, but may it not be that there are some dogs that do not understand Latin?" EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION. San Francisco, Cal., 18-21, 1901.

Milwaukee & St. Paul R'y. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. Sketch of the Career of the Hon. D. lal H. McMillan The birthplace of Col. D. H. McMillan, the new lieutenant governor of Manitoba, was in the county of Ontario, near the town of Whitby, in the Province of Ontario. The years of his boyhood and early manhood, however, were spent in the town of Collingwood. He received his education in the public schools and the collegiate institute of that town and in the city of Toronto. His early ambitions were largely towards military life; and it was his cherished desire to enter the British army. He took a course of training in the military schools of Toronto, where he was eminently successful, obtaining first class certificates in both the infantry and the cavalry schools. He was identified with military organizations in Ontario for a number of years, and served there during the Fenian raids at Niagara in 1864, and at Port Colborne in March and Fort Erie in June. 1866. In 1870 he was selected for the position of captain in the first Rod River expedition under Colonel Wollseley. The young captain remained in Winnipeg with the force for a year, and returned to Ontario in the summer of 1871. Coming to Manitoba again in 1871, Mr. McMillan engaged in Winnipeg in the mill and grain business, with which he remained connected from 1875 until three or four years ago. He built, in 1870, the first flour mill ever erected in the province; and, in the following year, exported to Minneapolis the first shipment, as a commercial transaction, of Manitoba's wheat. He did not, meanwhile, lose his interest in military matters, but was ready for active service whenever troops were required. He was major of the Ninetieth Battalion until just before the Northwest rebellion in 1885, when he resigned, intending to give up military affairs; but when the trouble broke out, the old martial spirit was revived, and he organized, along with Col. Scott, the Ninety-fifth Battalion, and went with that force to the Northwest. He was then senior major, but was afterwards in command of the battalion—Monreal Herald and Star.

It is so sold that a cake of ice is like a fierce fire as compared with it, for a kettle of liquid air placed on a cake of ice will boil just as water boils over a hot fire. It freezes mercury so hard that one can drive nails in it. The story is told that Mr. Charles E. Tripler, the experimenter in liquid air, recently took a quart can of the remarkable substance with him on a visit to a friend. On the way he stopped in a restaurant to eat a beefsteak. The waiter brought in a hot broiled steak and placed it in front of Mr. Tripler. As soon as the waiter's back was turned Mr. Tripler hastily opened the can and exposed the meat to the liquid air. Instantly the steak was frozen hard as a rock. When the waiter came back his customer complained that the steak was frozen. So the waiter called the head waiter, and the head waiter blamed it all on the cook and the cook was at a loss to explain, and the result was that the frozen steak was taken back into the kitchen as a mysterious curieuse. A new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler, and this one he ate with much relish. --- --- BENNETT COLD INDEED. HOUSEKEEPERS AND BAKERS using the FALCON Flour speak of it in a ringing chorus of praise.
