Let every republican see to it that his neighbor votes on election day. It looks more and more like that free silver and Bryan are things of the past. Mr. Phillips, the democrat nominee for governor, says that Bryan must shut np or he will refuse to put up. While it is safe to say that the republican party will carry the state by 75,000 this year, but if each voter should vote it would be over 100,000. The post office department has decided to place the late President McKinley's head on the new issue of postal cards which will appear shortly after December 1, next The hard times of 1896 has aroused all honest republicans and they will always be found on duty, voting or working for the party that has redeemed this country from that condition.

A movement is on foot now to change so the record will be 2:56, or the hour that McKinley was shot. ```markdown ``` VOL. 8. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER.

We present to our readers the picture of our well-known citizen, Mr. John Loveridge, who was selected by the republican convention to be their candidate for member of the board of Supervisors from the East Side or Lee township. The East Side has but few men who are better qualified or who would take so much interest in every detail. He thoroughly knows the needs of the common classes, and is in full sympathy with them, for he begin life at the lowest round, and by his honesty and fair dealing has climbed steadily onward in his trade, that of a stone mason, until now he enjoys a large trade and doing well. He has been honored by the people of his precinct by being elected Alderman, and so satisfactory was his record that he was elected Alderman-at-Large, which position he now occupies. His record as Alderman is above criticism. He has always been fair and consistent and is careful and painstaking. We hope that the republican voters of East Des Moines will work and vote for Mr. Loveridge. J. B. MR. JOHN McKAY $ \mathrm{S R_{.}} $ Candidate for County Treasure of this paper.) WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? Candidate for County Treasurer. (See write up in another part of this paper.) Grover Cleveland entertained Queen Lillioukalna, the colored Queen at his private table, Booker T. Washington entertained the late President McKinley at his private table at Tuskegee, Ala., now President Roosevelt entertained Booker T. Washington al his private table. Mrr Phillips evidently feels that he is in the race of life, even if he is not in the governor's race. Mr. Cummins has a splendid way of putting things. Here is lots of wisdom in a few words: "Five full years of experience since the subject of free coinage of silver was open for debate have an nihilated every argument, overthrown every position, denied every prophecy of Bryan and his followers. These same years have approved every statement, verified every argument and vindicated every principle asserted by the republican party." Subseribe for the Bystander, TO WHICH CLASS DO YOU BELONG? In this busy world of ours there are several classes which make up the human family. There is one class with progress and another with retrogression. The one is seldom if ever satisfied with their condition; they are pressing onward trying to accomplish something that will better the condition of all. The other is criticisin, fault-finding and always seeing failures in others and pointing them out to the world. The latter class has done much to clog the wheels of progress, especially among our people. The first class has always been a blessing to the world, the latter a curse. These two classes are the extremes of humanity. There is another class that does not move forward, or backward, but stands still and let the world go around them. They contribute nothing, they assist no one and the world moves on leaving them behind. They are the uncertain part of humanity. They cannot be counted on, they are no use to humanity, they are worthless to Historical Dept of Iowa Des Moines , Ia. themselves—they may fill a certain place in the social fabric in the human family and that is all. But the dissatisfied one who presses on to better, higher and nobler things is the saviour of his fellow-men. He shows them a higher life, he invites them out of the slough of dispondency, he will encourage the discouraged ones, he will lend them a helping hand, he will teach them that there is nothing gained by lagging behind and that the successful and brave are in the front ranks. He is unconscious of the power he wields and will never know his own worth to the world. If you belong to this class what have you done? What are you doing? OUR NEXT GOVERNOR. The above cut is an exact likeness of Hon. A. B. Cummins, republican candidate for governor, who is just closing one of the most remarkable canvass ever made by a candidate himself, because of the brilliant oratorical powers that he possess. Nearly every town and city wanted to enjoy the feast of his eloquence. Certainly no man in Iowa is better fitted to grace the executive chair of Iowa or the executive seat of any state in the United States as is he; for he is in the prime of life, highly educated, with not one stint on his private or public life; his honest fair dealing, high character, with his charming and entertaining family will no doubt make one of the best and most commanding governors that we have ever had. Then with that broad noble character and good discreation, all classes will be heard. There can no better recommendation then to say that he started from the humble walks of life, that of a poor farm boy, and marched onward and upward, first a laborer then a student, later entering his chosen profession, pushing himself forward by his ability and honesty until to-day he is the most able and learned member of the Iowa bar. Therefore we with the many thousands of other Iowa citizens will deem it a pleasure to vote for such a worthy gentleman as Mr. Cummins for governor, which we think is only the beginning of his merited and much deserved political preferment. RESUME OF OUR CANDIDATES In giving our readers, and especially those who have not taken time to attend the political meetings, a brief history as to the fitness and qualification of the candidates. While we cannot go into a lengthy mention nor was able to obtain cuts of all the candidates. The first on the ticket, for governor, is the name of A. B. Cummins, of whom we have mentioned elsewhere. For lieutenant governor is the name of Hon. John Herriott of Stuart, known as honest John. He began life as a farmer, and by his honesty and frugality has been successful. He has been honored several times by his ```markdown ``` No. 21. county to various county offices, and was elected state treasurer three successive terms-performing his duties so well that the people of Iowa have called him higher. Judge S. M. Weaver from Iowa Falls is our candidate for judge of the Supreme bench. He is able, and by his many years of experience on the district bench will no doubt make a valuable man on the Supreme bench. Then too, he was once nominated by the republicans of Iowa for Supreme judge and with the rest of the republican ticket was defeated by Ex-Judge Kinney. E. C. Brown from Sheldon northwestern Iowa, for railroad commissioner is a successful and influential man, and with Hon. R. C. Barrett of Osage for superintendent of public inscription who is serving his second term and the republicans honored him with a third term nomination hence we see that our state ticket is an exceptionally strong one. Then with our county officers: For senator, Hon. Cassius C. Dowell is one of the leading young attorneys-at-law. He is an active working republican was elected to the legislature from this county for two successive terms, where he made an excellent record, which with his experience and acquaintance will make a good member of the Upper house. Mr, H. E. Teachout of East Des Moines is our city candidate for one of the members of the House. His biography appears elsewhere in this issue. Young Emory H. English, the bright editor of the Valley Junction Express, is our other candidate, though young, yet he has had much experience in public matter. He was Representative Stewart's committee clerk. For sheriff, Geo. H. Mattern is asking his second term. He has made a good prudent and careful officer and by his past experience will no doubt do even better. Mr. John McKay Sr. is also a candidate for his second term and deserves more credit then any of the county officers that we have yet had. He kept his promise that all classes and races should be represented, and for the first time in the history of Polk county, he broke the ice and opened the way by appointing a colored man as one of his deputies, J. L. Thompson. He did this even though several republicans and some of his friends objected to a colored man being appointed as a clerk, but Mr McKay has shown his honesty and true manhood in this matter. Let us ever be cognizant of our friends and ready to assist Mr. McKay to higher political preferment, for he with his able assistants have made one of the best, careful and most painstaking county officials that we have had for many years. Prof. C. C. Thornburg has been nominated to succeed our well-known and efficient county superintendent, James Brenton, although a young man, yet he is well qualified. So well satisfied was the educators of our county that he was accorded the nomination without opposition. Frank Morris is the candidate for member of the board of supervisors of West Des Moines. He has made a good record, true to his constituents, and has made a gallant fight for the present site location for the court house, which he has finally won. Now let us elect him by an increased majority to see that it is properly built. Mr. John Loveridge, the candidate for member of the board from the East Side, Lee Township is mentioned elsewhere. ```markdown ``` NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des Moines, Nov. 1, 1941. The state executive council leased the meandered portion of Wall Lake to the town of Lake View, Sac county, which desires to improve their portions of the lake's adjacent to but rendered useless to the state because of their meandered condition. The lease has not yet been drawn up, but it will probably provide for a consideration of not more than five dollars from the town for the use of the lake bed. Attorney General Mullen has rendered an opinion to the auditor of state in which he holds that insurance companies doing business on the stipulated premium plan may do an accident business the same as level premium companies. The auditor asked the opinion of the attorney general that his subject is a result of industry made by Dr. E. E. Dorr, president of the Brotherhood Reserve Life association, a stipulated premium company of this city. The attorney general] the code, which gives to life insurance companies organized on the stock or mutual business, or mutual business, applies as well to the stipulated premium companies organized under chapter 65 of the acts of the Twenty-eighth general assembly. The executive council has decided to appropriate the balance remaining in the providential contingent fund to the Iowa State college at Ames for the purpose of aiding it to tide over the recent loss of the experiment state farm that was found to be $2,990.42. About a third of this will be used for feed and the remainder for putting up a temporary barn. Fifty applications for new delivery routes on the rural plan have been been submitted and is that Special Agent Fry has agreed to recommend to the postoffice department that at least 35 of them be established in the Seventh district. Mr. Fry says he finds the farmers in central Iowa are making better roads than in any other part of the state, and that the farmers need fuse, and that this improvement will mean better rural route service. Dr. J. I. Gibson, state veterinary surgeon, has submitted to the governor the third biennial report. The report contains many interesting features and covers the period ending June 20, 1991. The inspection of all horses imported into the state at the point of entry, as a protection measure, is accompanied by Dr. Gibson. Wonderful prosperity in the live stock industry is noted. A number of valuable papers are incorporated into the report, one of which is by Prof. John J. Repp of the experiment station at Ames, and combats the theories of disease. Koch and perhaps, that tuberculosis is not transmissible to human beings through the use of the meat or milk of tuberculous animals. Dr. Gibson has been kept busy during the past two years in answering official calls and effecting sanitary protection for the animals. The 1991 official calls have been made upon the department during this period, and the following diseases were found to exist: Actinomycosis, abortion, black leg, catarrhal pneumonia, corn stalk disease, encephalitis, ergotism, glanders, hog cholera, influenza, mange, Missouri bottom disease, rhinocerositis, specific ophthalmia, thrust in cattle, and tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, rabies and glanders largely predominated. The campaign of education which the fire insurance companies started out some months ago to make against the valued policy law has developed into a different sort of campaign in which the companies are seeking to find out the sentiments of the old members of the legislature who will men into the legislature who will oppose a valued policy bill. A leading member of the senate who was in Des Moines recently related while here that he had been approached by no less than three emissaries of the fire insurance companies. They were anxious to sound him as to the valued policy idea and to assert certain would support a valued policy bill if it was introduced this winter. He replied that he had voted for a valued policy bill in the past whenever he had an opportunity and he intended to do so again this winter. It is understood the fire insurance companies are taking the keenest interests in the legislative context that he is embracing carefully for a fight against the valued policy measure this winter. In addition to the work done through the literary bureau, an active lobby will be maintained. Murder In Second Degree Iowa Falls, Oct. 28.—"Murder in the second degree" is the verdict in the case of the state of Iowa against M. O. Clemons on trial here for the murder of Will Burghduff, of Union. Clemons and Burghduff had trouble and Clemons had made threats against Burghduff, causing Burghduff of insulting his wife and threatening to kill him before the week had passed.

THE NEWS IN IOWA BANK WRECKED AT HUXLEY. Burglar Blow Open the Safe and Get Away With R750. Des Moines, Oct. 20.—Unknown bandits plundered the bank of Huxley about 2 o'clock a.m. and secured, currency and coin to the amount of about $750. Huxley is a small station on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, in the southern part of Story county, and the bank is located in a small brick building on the principal corner of the bank. The robbery was executed by men who have witnessed and experience, as evidenced the safe with nitro-glycerine, after using explosives on the locks upon the outside doors of the bank, and made their escape. The bold deed was so carefully planned that the citizens of Huxley are without the slightest as to the identity of the robbers, and so much as an idea as to which direction men were committing the bold deed. Residents near the business part of the city state that about half hour before 2 o'clock they heard a report, as if a shot was fired somewhere in the distance. Thirty minutes later there was a second report and ten minutes later a louder report, which was distinctly heard for some distance. It was believed that the reports were torpedoes on the railroad, or blanks on land, and no one seemed that there was a being made on the bank of the city. Not until the little village was astir was there any knowledge that the financial institution had been looted and every cent in its vaults carried away by a band of robbers. CHARGED WITH MALFEASANCE. Sheriff Climbie, of Appanoose County, Corporated by Judge Roberts. Ottumwa, Nov. 1.—By a decision rendered by Judge M. A. Roberts in this city, E. G. Climniec, sheriff of Appanose county, was suspended from office pending the result of a trial in which the sheriff is charged with malfeasance in office and perjury. R. E. Vermila, of Union County, was appointed sheriff in the county promulgated by Judge Roberts, during Climniec's suspension. The case is one which has caused wide-spread comment all over southern Iowa. The sheriff, an Appanoose county constable and a justice of the peace were indicted on the charge of malfeasance in office. In this it was charged that the sheriff answered to bring him before the justice for trial, have him committed, enter up his fees, and, after keeping the vagrant over night, turn him loose. It was alleged, and is so stated in the indictment, in legal phraseology, that the sheriff the next day would repeat the operation, thus it is alleged, considerably enlarging his fee bill. This practice, more important than the citizens committee of centerville took the matter in hand and proceeded the indictment of the sheriff and the other two peace officers. MATLOCK BANK ROBBED. Six Men Secure Two Thousand Dollars All Were Heavily Armed. Matlock, Nov. 1.—The bank of Matlock was burglarized by six men, who secured about $2,000. Of this amount $300 was in silver. Four of the men stationed themselves so as to guard all points while the other two went inside. They made free use of dynamite, three heavy shots being fired, waking a good many people, but shattered and the building badly wrecked. All the glass in the windows was broken out and some pieces of the safe a foot square were blown through the sides of the building and into the street thirty yards. An old man sleeping in an adjoining building was compelled by the robbers to return to the house and sleep there. There he was made aware of no effort was made to follow the robbers, because all were so heavily armed. The total loss in money and damage to the safe and building is over $4,000. ROBBERS LOOT ARISPE BANK Secure About Four Hundred Dollars in Cash. Mostly Silver. Arise, Nov. 1. The bank of Arise was entered by robbers, who exploded nitroglycerine on the safe, valued at $1,000, and shattered the door to bits. Every cent in the safe was taken, and the loss will be over $400 in cash. A number of $1 and $5 bills were amount taken but the most of the money secured is silver. A large amount of money in a small safe was not secured. The robbers left their tools in the bank. It is believed that two men did the work, and walked to the railway track and thence north out of the city. Along the same route the bank was a mere between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, when the sky was darkened by clouds and there was a heavy rain and considerable wind. There was no insurance on the bank safe or its contents, and the loss will be $1,500 or over, including damage to the safe and mom- Rock Island Cutoff. Omaha, Oct. 28.—The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific road will let contracts next week for three million dollars worth of construction work on the cutoff from Eldon, Iowa, to Trenton, Mo. The new line will be thirty-five miles, will be constructed of thirty-five miles in distance from Chicago to the southwest. It will do away with numerous curves and grades. The will of the late Herman O. Armour disposes, in bequests to his family and relatives, of $2,250,000 of real and personal property. Democrats Win. Des Moines, Oct. 29.—The state election board decided that the sustaining of the objections against the first certificate filed by the democrats of Allamakee county made a vacancy under section 1102 of the code, and that the democrats were privileged to file a petition of the same as if a vacancy should arise from other causes. The secretary of state therefore certified to the auditor of Allamakee county the name of Robert Hufschmidt for representative and the same will appear upon the ballot at the coming election. Des Moines, Oct. 31.—The annual report of B. Murphy, trustee of the Linnie Haguewood fund, has been filed in the office of Governor Shaw. The report details the manner in which the appropriation of the state legislature has been expended and there is appendix to report made by the board, under whose tutorage the state's blind ward has been for several years. Miss Donald is now the superintendent of the school for the blind of South Dakota, and Linnie Haguewood is with her. She most interesting part of the report in addition to the fund and girl in her ambition of the public work for the work in the mechanical department. Miss Donald says: "Linnie's dexterity along manual lines has been often mentioned. Her love for the feminine arts is deeply rooted in her nature and cerves to fill each vacant hour with never ending pleasure. This ability hides the intoxication of institution print-ing, where she has taken first honors as an operator of the stereotype maker. All Linnie's natural characteristics are here called into activity. She is not called upon to depart from the well known path, and she writes with an assurance born of conscious power. Provisioning and binding the Linnie a valueing and binding the printing office, while it opens an avenue of employment that makes her future independent in a financial way." SHOOTING MAY BE MURDER. Frank Matthews Hit By a Bullet From "Minnesota Sijm" Gun. Sious City, Oct. 31.—Frank Matthews, an unemployed railway switchman, who gained notoriety in the A. R. U. strike of 1894 by an alleged attempt to burn the Illinois Central bridge across a dry run in the eastern part of the city, was shot in the stomach and probably fatally wounded by a man known as "Minnie Silm" who said to have been a railroad man at one time. After shooting Matthews, the man known as "Minnesota Silm" then turned his revolver upon Phil Kelley, who at times was worked in the packing house of Sious City, and fired a shot which pierced his coworker and graved him. The felicited a third shot which did not take effect. He then ran and escaped arrest. The shooting seems to have been done without warning and without provocation. Dr. Van Buren Knott said as he was finishing the operation: "It will be nothing less than a miracle. This man has his stomach, his liver, his intestines have been frightfully injured." The shooting took place upon the sidewalk in front of the Oak saloon on the northwest corner of Fourth and Iowa streets. The three men had walked north on Iowa street and had just crossed Fourth street go into the corner where "Ming- Shim" jerked his gun and began pulling the trigger. Matthews and Kelly were very drunk, and the assailant also had been drinking. FARES AND FORESTRY. ests to be Organized. Des stolnes, set 21.—Professor L. J.

Temporary officers are to be elected and a program prepared for the first annual meeting of the association, which will hold on the evening of December 16 in connection with the meeting of the State Horticultural society in ois city.

Among the enthusiastic promoters of the movement, besides Professor Pamuel, are Secretary Wesley Green of the State Horticultural society, who will be present at the meeting at Ames of Professor T. W. Twin and Ruf E. E. Little, all of Ames college, are also interested in the movement. A half dozen or more persons have already signified their willingness to appear upon the program for the annual meeting. Smallox Among Winnelarges. Smallpox Among Winnebagoes. Sixon City, Oct. 31.—Reports from the Winnebago agency state there are from 200 to 200 cases of smallpox, which will there be the greater number being in the region of Big Bear's camp, near the Missouri river. During the epidemic last year the first reports were exaggerated, and 200 cases may be more than facts warrant; but the pestility has taken a very serious phase, and last night Homer established a quarantine against the infected districts. Sixon City, Dakota City, Salix, Slom and Wakefield have established quarantine against the Winnebagoes and have been taken by the agency authorities to check the epidemic. It is reported that during a fortnight twenty deaths have occurred. Mob Root Is Squeezed Sionx City, Oct. 31. - Prompt action on the part of the police prevented a "neck tie" party at this place and saved the life of James McQuire, the Kentucky negro, who committed an assault on 13-year-old Ambrose Monahan.

Allison, Oct. 29. — The grand jury has returned an indictment against Louis plasse for the killing of his wife, charging murder in the first degree, and the next term of court by mutual consent of both state and defense. NEWS IN GENERAL SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY Washington, Oct. 29.—The cross-examination of Admiral Sickle began yesterday before the court of inquiry and hardly more than a third of the ground was covered when the court adjourned at 4 o'clock. Admiral Sickle concluded his direct examination, which continued only about ten minutes after the court convened in the morning with a statement of the effect of the fire of the respective fleets at Santiago, showing that 36 per cent of the hits suffered by the enemy was scored by the Brooklyn's five-inch guns, while his ship received 70 per cent of the hits from the Spanish ships. Captain Leemley's cross-examination was very searching. Admiral Sickle, however, appeared to unruffled throughout his examination, frankly admitting on several occurrences that could not rememble little details after the lapse of three years. One line of inquiry which the judge advocate tried to press to show that Admiral Sickle did not proceed "with dispatch" from Key West to Cienfuegos by attempting to contrast the speed made between Charleston and Key West with the time between key West and Cienfuegos was curtailed by which confirmation of questions to the commission to May 19, the day on which the flying squadron left Key West. The judge advocate in his cross-examination cewt upon the interview between Admiral Sampson and Commodore Sickle at key West before the departure of the flying squadron, at which the latter testified that Admiral Sampson instructed him not to expose his ships to shore batteries until the Spanish fleet enacted an annotated Admiral Sickle issued no written order of battle, on the question of coiling off Cienfuegos, and the steps Sickle took there to ascertain the presence of the Spanish fleet. Washington. Oct. 30.—The cross-examination of Admiral Schley was continued throughout the session of the court of inquiry yesterday. The progress made was exceedingly slow. Practically the whole day was consumed in questioning the admiral about his Clerkship at Santiago, and the motives and influences that governor him in turning back after his squadron had arrived in the vicinity of the latter port. This latter branch of the cross-examination had not been concluded when the court adjourned. The blockade at Santiago, the reconnaissance on May 31 and the battle of July 3 still remain to be covered. it is hardly probable that the judge advocate can conclude the judge journeyed to Santiago. After he has prepared a number of questions prepared by the members of the court will be submitted. The judge advocate in conducting the cross-examination used a carefully prepared typewritten list of questions. They called for comparison of statements Admiral Schley has made, either in his direct testimony, or in his communication to the senate or his dispatches to the navy department, with the testimony of witnesses, the prosecution, which he logs and signal books of the other vessels of the fleet. The questions were not asked in chronological order, but jumped from one subject to another and from one stage of the campaign to another. Throughout the strain to which the witness naturally was subjected, the admiral retained his customary composure. Washington, Oct. 31.—The long ordeal to which Admiral Schley has faced in his testimony followed until he ended yesterday afternoon, when his cross-examination was concluded and he was allowed to leave the witness stand. When the judge advocate finished the cross-examination, shortly after 3 o'clock, the court propounded to the admiral thirty-four questions prepared by the members of the court. These questions touched many points of the campaign of the flying squadron, but mainly centered about the difficulties encountered in coalition grade movement. Not one of them related to the battle of Santiago. The judge advocate's cross-examination yesterday covered the retrograde movement, the reconnaissance of May 31, the loop of the Brooklyn and the alleged colloquy with Lieutenant Hodgson about the Texas. One of the most interesting features of the day was the development of the fact that the report of the written by Lieutenant Sohry July 6, 1898, was not the original report. The original report never has been published, and in accordance with a previous decision, the court yesterday declined to allow it to go into the record. Admiral Schley was allowed to explain, however, that Admiral Sampson declined to receive the first report because he did not mention the presence of the New York court in the victory at time," said Admiral Schley, explaining the matter, "was big enough for all, and I made this change out of generosity and because I knew if the New York had been present she would have done as good work as anybody else." Betha's Narrow Escap Pretoria, Oct. 20.—Commandant General Botha's recent escape from the British columns pursuing him was a close affair. Major Remington marched on the commander-in-chief's quarter at night, only to find that Botha had got off with a few hundred yards start, leaving his hat, revolver and papers behind. Ten prisoners, including Commandant Hans Botha and former Landrost Schutte were captured. Among the pets of the Sultan of Morocco are seven lions.

Delarey and Kemp's Forces in Contact With the British. London, Oct. 30.—A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Oct. 28th, says he has received reports of important fighting October 24th, near Great Marico river, when Delarey and Kemp attacked a British force and were only repulsed after seven days, eing forty men to the field, including Omanian Oomirheysen. The British lost 28 men killed and had 55 wounded. The Boers carried off eight British wagons. The republicans appear to have paid special attention to the guns, as thirty-seven gunners and driver were killed in a number of Kitchener mentions a number of minor affairs and says that the week's "bag" consisted of seventy-four Boers killed, sixteen wounded and 353 made prisoners. In addition, fifty-five Boers were captured by British five rifles, 75,750 rounds of ammunition, 261 wagons, 530 horses and 8,000 head of cattle. HIS BRAIN WAS NORMAL Autopsy Shows That Czolgosz Was Perfectly Sound Mentally Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 29.-Leon Czolgosz, assassin of President McKinley, has paid the penalty in the electric chair at the penitentiary, and his lifeless body now awaits the disposition the warden has concluded to make of it. The execution took place this morning, in the presence of the required number of witnesses, who were all closely examined when they entered by the guards stationed at the principal gate of the prison. The grewsome sight was not relished by the men who had been summoned to make aid andavit that the order of the court at Buffalo had been duly carried out. The prisoner was bound into the electric chair and with as little delay as possible the current was turned on. The muscles of its occupant were drawn tight when the heavy current passed through the body. The arms seemed to stiffen and to grasp the arms of the chair. The fegs straightened and the trunk was rigid. Then, after the occupant had been kept on a sufficient time, the bands were loosened and the assassin of the president was declared dead. Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 30.—Naturally, almost the entire attention of the physicians assigned to hold the autopsy over the remains of Assassin Czolgosz was directed toward discovering, if possible, whether the assassin was in any way wounded in the autopsy that was conducted by Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald, E. A. Spitka and Prison Physician Gerlka. The top of the head was sawed off through the thickest part of the skull, which was found to be of normal thickness, and it was the unanimous agreement after the microscopic examination that the brain was normal or slightly abnormal to the satisfaction of the physicians that in no way was Czolgosz's mental condition, except as it might have been perverted, responsible for the crime. The body was placed in a black stained coffin, every portion of the anatomy being placed under the supervision of Dr. Gerin and Warden Mend. Shortly afterward it was taken to a prison cemetery, and extra precaution taken to completely destroy it. A few days ago under the warden's order an experiment was made to determine the power of quick lime in the destruction of flesh and bone, which was not satisfactory. Warden Mend, who conferred with some of the physicians present in the institution with Superintendent Collins that the purpose of the law was the destruction of the body and that it was necessary to use quick lime for that end. Accordingly a carboy of acid was obtained and poured upon the body in the coffin afterward it had been lowered into the grave. The coffin was then placed in the grave as the earth was put in to give vent to such gases as might form. It is the belief of the doctors that the body will be entirely disintegrated within twelve hours. During that time and as long as deemed necessary, the body will be kept over the unmarked grave. Czolgosz went to the chair in exsary a guard will be kept over the majority of others in this state, showing no particular sign of fear, but in fact doing what but few of his duties—the heath care with nesses while he was being strapped to the chair. "I killed the president because he was an enemy to the good people—of the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime." The guards hurried him into the chair. A moment later, mumbling through the half adjusted face straps, he said: "I am awfully sorry I could not "I am awfully sorry I could not see my father."

Paris, Nov. 1.—The officials of the French foreign office confirm the port that a division of the French Mediterranean fleet, composed of two cruisers and two cruisers, under the command of admiral Calibard, has proceeded from Toulon to the Levant, to make a naval demonstration against Turkey. A foreign office official, in communicating the foregoing to the correspondent here of the Associated Press, said, "the squadron sailed ordered orders and proceeded first to a Greek port, the island of Syra. I think, where the admiral will receive definite instructions as carrying definite orders out his sealed orders. I am not at liberty to say what the sealed orders are, but, the seizure of the castons at Smyra would probably be a very effective way of convincing the sultan that France's patience is exsolved. We have decided to enforce an immediate execution of the Turkish government's engagements. We, however, are very hopeful that the sultan will not compel us to go to that extreme. "Our squadron will not reach the Greek port before Sunday. The Turkish government has thus three days grace and we trust, in the meantime, to receive complete satisfaction. We have acted very considerably toward Turkey, hoping, up to the last moment, that she would carry out her engagement. It is only no longer the find that no serious indication of herding that we have reluctantly resolved to put stronger pressure to bear, in the shape of a naval demonstration. It is now two months since the French ambassador, M. Constans, left Constantinople. His departure failed to produce the desired effect. On the contrary, even the Quays and Tubini questions, which were settled by the sultan's irades, remain unadjusted. The internal situation in the Turkish empire deterred us, for some time, from taking drastic measures to enforce the sultan's order, and France could not permit the ent state of affairs to be prologed indefinitely. We sincerely hope the sultan will fully appreciate the fact that we cannot any longer be trifled with, and relieve us of taking further steps to safeguard our interests." The official was asked what would happen in the event of the French squadron being ordered to seize the customs and if the Turkish authorities resisted the unilateral contingency. That is why if that the case, I suppose we shall have to bombard the port. We do not want bloodshed and I do not believe there will be any occasion for it." Paris, Nov. 1,—A dispatch from Toulouse to the Figaro confirms the report of the return of the entire squadron, and adds that Admiral Caillard's division is still held in readiness to sail at a moment's notice. Editorially the Figaro and other morning papers express surprise at this perplexing and unexplained movement, after the dispatch of Admiral Caillard to the Le Havre, where the Marseilles correspondent of the Matin says the return was due to the fact that the squadron was supplied with only two days' rations. SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY Washington, Nov. 1.—In the Schley court of inquiry yesterday a number of witnesses were introduced by Judge Advocate Lemly to testify inebutual of the evidence given in Admiral Schley's behalf. The court decided early in the day that no witnesses could be introduced at this stage of the proceedings to give testimony on immaterial points. On the other hand, the court held that it was not bound by the preliminary proceeding to tell testimony as to the time that testimony can be taken and that witnesses might be called or recalled any time for the purpose of making additions to former statements, but that none of them could reiterate testimony previously given. This decision was rendered on an objection raised by Mr. Rayner to allowing Captain Sigbee to give new testimony when called as a witness for rebuttal purposes. Captain Chadwick in his statement yesterday said that the precautionary dispatches from navy department in regard to backing Spanish shore batteries had been communicated to Commodore Schley. This statement is regarded as of great importance by Admiral Schley's opponents, as it distinctly contradicts the admiral's own statements. SAYS THE KING HAS CANCER British Paper Asserts That Three Oper- ations Have Been Performed. Hoa has been Been Performed. London, Oct. 29.—Reynolds's widely newspaper is the latest British paper to assert that the Edward is suffused from cancer of the throat. In Sunday's issue it declares that since h.s. majesty's accession three operations have been performed for the removal of papilloma on the left vocal cord, and that one was removed from the right vocal chord last week. "Assistance was hastily summoned," says this journal, "as his majesty was breathing with difficulty, and an immediate operation was performed. But it was regarded as only a temporary relief, the injured epithelium now having become a cancerous growth, and serious developments are expected." The old yacht America, which first brought the cup to this side of the Atlantic, is still in service and was among the fleet of spectators of the last races. Milner Says War May Never End. Durban, Natal, Oct. 30.—The imperial authorities have reached the conclusion that the early re-peopling of the Transvaal and Orange River colonies is advisable, so that the normal industrial and agricultural life of the colonies may be resumed. In the course of a speech Lord Milner of Cape Town said it was useless to wait until the war was over in a formal sense. It might never be over, he declared, but it was burnt out, and in time it would show out, and in time it would be over in the house we have taken be rebuilding it and beginning to live in it."

Not a word was spoken by elther party during the journey. Reaching the Carib’s hut, Don Juan found the Indian sitting on a log be- fore his door, smoking @ rude stone pine, and enjoying, in his own fasb- fon, the cool evening. “Tam here again, Ramana,” said Don Juan. , “I see you,” replied the Carib. “I must have the truth about my daughter.” : “[have told it to you twice.

But I have not, I have not seen her.” 3 “Will you come and tell that to the king?” “The king! Has the Spaniard who calls himself king sent for me?” “Yes, My daughter was to wed the king. He is anxious about her, too, Ramana.” “Twill go,” said the Indian, “There 4s some mystery here. The other said she was to wed him. The half-breed 4s the one.” They left together, and Medworth and Tempest started’ to follow them. Then a sudden thought arrested Ar- thar and he turned back motioning for Tempest to follow him. Instead of following Don Juan and Ramana back to the castle they remained hidden near the hut, Medworth’s idea in do- ing this was that if Ramana was ly- ing Lola might be somewhere near. They waited scme little time and, hearing mo sound, peered into the ‘pen door of the hut. ‘There was no one there. ‘The hut was such a rude, ill-made thing that it seemed hardly possible that there could be a hiding-place connected with it. Satisfying themselves that no one wes Inside, they withdrew again into ‘the shadows and waited. After a time they heard voices, and two persons came walking slowly toward the hut. ‘They were-both In- dians, and were speaking in Spanish, yet in s0 low a tone that the listening Americans could not understand what they said. But when they reached the hut and found it empty, one turned to the vother and said: “Ravona, the hut is empty. Where are the old ones?” “It s strange,” said the one called Ravena. “My father and mother are very old. They da not go far from their hut at night.” Just then the sharp hiss ot a wom- an's voice was heard, and an old In- dian hag came from a clump of woods about a hundred yards away. “Oh, there you are,” said Ravona. “We missed you. Where is the old one?” “I left him here, Strange things are ‘being done now.” “What do you mean?” “A girl was stolen from the castle.

Take food with you.” “Have you any?" “Plenty, Ramana {6 a great hunter."* The three went inside the hut, and in a moment the crackling of fire could be heard. Then came the appetizing | odor of cooking meat, It scemed an interminable wait to Medworth, but the food was ready at last, and Rayona, accompanied by his companion, came from the hut, carry- ing a pot of steaming, savory stew. They struck into a narrow path leading toward the river, and the Americans Kept as close to them as they could without being themselves discovered. Alter traveling thus a while, Ra- vona passed before a thick network of vines and parted them. He and his companion pressed their way through. Behind this barrier was the entrance to a cave, and Medworth poked his head through the vines just in time to see the two Indians disappearing into the cave. “Come on!” sald Medworth. They followed the Indians in. The cave was a large one. A lantern, hung on a peg stuck in a crevice, threw a gloomy light around. On @ couch of furs reclined a girl, sobbing, her position being such as to indicate that she was fastened there. “The half-breed’s work,” sald Ra- vona, At the volce, the girl raised ber head. “Lola!” erled Meaworth, rushing to her past the Indians. “arthur! my Arthur!” she ex- claimed, “You here—in Venezuela?” “I am here,” he said, joyfully; “and so is my old friend, Tempest.” “Never mind me,” said Jack; “cut those cords.” “Who are you?” now demanded Rayona, “Friends of this senorita,” replied ‘Tempest. “We have been looking for hex.” ‘A glance at Lola, whose head was nestled against ‘Arthur's _ breast, proved to Ravona that Tempest spoke the truth, “Then I am not needed,” he said. “But beware of Mattazudo. See, 1 leave you the food. There is plenty. Adios.” “Whore am I, Arthur?” asked Lola, when the Indians had gone. “You are in a cave near the river. ‘Who brought you here?” “T do not know. A dark-skinned man came to me and said my father sent him to guide me to a place of safety until after the battle, He brought me here and bound me. 1 sereamed and struggled, and begged him to release me, but he would not. Oh, how frightened I was! I thought I was going to be killed.” “Well you are in the hands of friends now, Miss Lola,” sald Tempest, “and I'll answer for the neck of the next man who lays a hand on you.” “Come,” said Arthur, “you have not touched the supper the Indian brought.” He tenderly assisted her out of the cave and they started toward the cas- tle, Lola carefully guarded between her two compantons. Suddenly the sound of firing was heard. “The battle is on," said Medworth. “I hope Salvarez is successful.” ‘As they progressed the firing grew louder and nearer, until they paused in alarm. “Listen!” said Lola. “Was that not a woman’s scream?” “Surely it is,” said Medworth, The shrill scream of a woman in distress was distinctly heard. “Stay here,” said Tempest. “I'l be back.” He darted away, and they heard his voice and the sound of fighting. ‘Then a girl came rushing toward them with streaming hair. “Save me!” she cried, “Our army is Tost!” It was Jacinta, the daughter of Sal- varez, The rushing forms of men closed In around them, and a voice called: “Seize them!” Tn another instant, Tempest, Lola, Jacinta and © Medworth were seized upon, and, under the command of Pedro Francisco, were conveyed pris- ‘oners to the Castle of Salvarez.

How is she?” “Alas, she is not well. The cave in which she was confined by that halt- breed scoundrel was damp, and as she was bound hand and foot, sho became thoroughly chilled, The result 1s now that she has a bad fever, which alter- nates with severe chills.” “That 1s bad. Have you heard from her own lips the story of her abduc- tion?” “Yes, Ah, what a scoundrel that Mattazudo is. Yes, he went to her, telling her that it’ was my wish for her to accompany him to a place of greater safety until after the battle. ‘She believed him, and followed him to a cave up the river about a mille, where he bound her, and, heedless of her erles for mercy, left’ her, telling ‘her to be quiet until he came for her. She was found there by the two Amer- icans, who, it appears, have followed us here for no other purpose than to rescue my daughter from myself. That is a strange case. As if I had not my daughter's welfare at heart. But they are prisoners, and my poor girl {s safe: so what matter?” “It matters to me,” said Philip. “As for the Americans, they have done no harm; but I will not have the scoundrel Mattazurdo around me.

Details of the Electrocution, Auburn, N. ¥., Oct, 29.—Leon Czol gost. murderer ‘of President William McKinley, hus paid the extreme pen- alty exacted by the law for his crime ‘He was shocked to death by 1,700 volts of electricity. He went to the chair in exactly the same manner as have the majority of murderers in this state, showing no particular sign of fear, but in fact doing what few of them have done—talking to the witnesses while hhe was being strapped In the chair. “I Killed the president because he was an enemy of the good people—of the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime.” ‘These were his words as the guards hurried him into the chair. A moment later, mumbling through the half-ad- justed face straps, he sald: “1am awfully sorry 1 could not see my father.” ‘The prisoner was given three con- tacts of electricity before he was final- ly pronounced dead, Czolgosz retired at 10 o'clock ana slept so soundiy that when Warden Mead went to the cell shortly before 5 o'clock a, m. the guard inside had to shake Czolgosz to awaken him, He sat up on the edge of bis cot and made no reply to the warden’s grecting of “Good morning.” Mears Death Warrant Read, The prison offlcial took from his wocket the death warrant and read it slowly and distinctly to the assassin, who hardly raised his eyes during the perfunctory ceremony, Just as the warden stepped away from the cell door Czolgosz called to him and said: “LE wonld like to talk with the super- intendent.” ‘The warden responded: “He will come down presently.” ‘Then the condemned man rolled over ‘on his cot, apparently anxious to steep again. AL 5:15, however, the guard brought to im a pair of dark tronsers with the leit leg slit so as to allow the free ap- pilcation of the electrode, and a light gray outing shirt. He was told to get up and put these on, which he did. Contrary to the usual custom, he was given a new pair of shoes. When dressed he lay downon the cot again, and in this attitude Superintendent Collins found him at 5:30 when he went down to visit him, ‘The superintendent stood in front of the steel bars and when the guard had called Czolgosz’ attention he said: “I want to make a statement before you ill me.” “What do you wich to say, Czol- gosz?” asked the superintendent. Wanted to Make a Specet, “{ want to make it when there area lot of people present. I want them to hear me,” said the prisoner. “Well, you cannot,” sald ine superin- tendent. “Then I won't talk at all,” said the prisoner, suljenly. After the superintendent had left the guards brought Czolgosz breakfast, consisting of coffee, toast. eggs and ba- con, and he ate with a good deal of relish. While he was partaking of this the witnesses were gathering in the offices of Warden Mead and at 7:08 the pro- cession passed to the death chamber, going through the long south corridor. In the chamber Electrician Davis ant ex-Warden Thayer of Dannemora had arranged the chair test, placing a bank of twenty-two incandescent lights across the arms and connecting the electrode wires at either end. The witnesses were ordered seated and then Warden Mead briefly addressed them, saying: “You are here to witness the legal death of Leon F. Czolgosz. I desire that you keep your seats and proserve absolute silence in the death chamber, no matter what may transpire. ‘There are plenty of guards and prison offi- clats to preserve order and attend to the proper details.” AM Lights Turned on. ‘Tho prison physician, Dr. Gerin and Dr. Carles F. MacDonald of New York, took a position to the left of the chair. Warden Mead stood dtrectly in front, and Electrician Davis retired to the little room containing the electrical ewitchboard, ‘Thayer gave the signal and the eur vent. was turned through the electric lights, flooding the chamber with bril- Nant light and dramatieally showing the power that was used to kill the prisoner. Warden Mead gave the signal to have the prisoner brought In, and at 7:10%g o'clock Chief Keeper ‘Tupper swung open the big covered platform upon which the chair rests, His head was erect, and with his gray flannel shirt turned back at the neck he looked quite boyish, He was intensely pate and as he tried to throw his head back and carry himself erect his chin quivered very perceptibly. ‘Talks In Death Chair, As he was being seated he looked about at the assembled witnesses with quite a steady stare and suid: “I Killed the president because he was an enemy of the good people—ot the working people.” His voice trembled slight at first, but gained strength with each word, and he spoke in good English. “I am not sorry for my crime,” he said loudly, just as the guard pushed his head back on the rubber head rest and drew the strap across his forehead and chin. As the pressure on the straps tightened and bound the jaw tightly, he mumbled: “Tam awlully sorry T could not see my father,” Yt was exactly 7:11 o'clock when he crossed the threshold, but a minute had elapsed and he had just finished the last statement when the strapping was completed and the guards stepped back. Warden Mead raised his hand, and at 7:12:30 Electrician Davis turned the switch that threw 1,700 volts of electricity into the living body. ‘The rush of the current threw the body so hard against the straps that they creaked perceptibly. ‘The hands clinched suddenly and the whole atti- tude was one of extreme tenseness. For forty-five seconds the full cur- rent was kept on and then slowly the electrician threw the switch back, re- ducing the current volt by volt until it was cut off entirely. Then just as it had reached that point he threw the lever back again for two or three sce onds, Weart Coases Its Pulsatlons. ‘The body, which had collapsed as the current was reduced, stiffened up against the straps. When it was tmrned off again Dr. MacDonald stepped to the chair and put his hand over the heart. He said he fe't no pil- sations, but suggested that the current be turned on for a few seconds again. ‘Once more the body became rigid. At 7:15 the current was turned off for good. From the time Czolgosz had left his cell until the full penalty was paid, less than four minutes had elapsed. The physicians present used the steth- oscope and other tests to determine if any life remained, AUT:AT the warden, raising his hand, announced: “Gentlemen, the prisoner Is dead.” ‘The witnesses filed from the cham- her, many of then visibly affected, and the body was taken from the chair and Inid on the operating table. ‘The Oficial Witnesses, ‘The jury that witnessed the oxecu- tion of Czolgosz and returned the for- mal finding in his case was composed as follows: Foreman, John P.

Auburn, N. ¥., Oct. 31.—The cham- ee ye a i es roe Lee Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 31—The cham- her in which the murderer of President MeKinley was exceuted was not the same in which the first electrocution took plice here, It is « comparatively new building, strikingly elaborate in comparison with the very old prisoz structures about it. It is built of gray stone and is situated about helt way down the prison yard on the left hand, or south side, Entrance to it is pos- sible cither from the prison yard ot from the, main south corridor, and the execution room proper may be entered without passing the condemned cells. From the time of his entry into the death house, Czolgosz was confined in the cell nearest to the death chamber, so that when he entered the execution room this morning he had only to step a few fect through the stone arch and as the great Iron door swung be- hind him he was beside the electric chair.

This group included the next of kin, tho nearest of all human beings to the as- sassin, bis father and two brothers, and half a dozen of his former neigh- bors in this city, ‘The same seeming indifference that has characterized the members of the Czolgosz family was maintained to the end, and when the statement that Leon Czolgosz had been put to death “was told to the old man in Polish his Hingers twitched nervously for a min- “ute or 80, a suspicion of a tear was ‘seen to come Into his dark eyes and che made a reply in Polish to a friend “who acted as interpreter.

Other than a suspiclon of @ tear in the father’s eye there was no sign of grief from him, and the two brothers, both younger than Leon, began to ask as to the probable painfumess of the Glectrocution, ‘The party did not wait to hear the details and Soon left for their homes, the father of the assassin to his daily work in one of the city’s parks, the two brothers to their re- Oe alk DEPLORES M’KINLEY’S DEATH. Mother Jonox Advises Paterson Work men Agalnst Violence. New York, Oct. 31—Mothr Jones spoke In Apollo hall at Paterson, New Jersey, to an andience of about 1,800 persons. Her talk was socialistic. It was the largest and most successful labor meeting held in Paterson for several years. Of the assassination of President Me- Kinley she spoke at some length, say- ing that it was an act to be deplored, for the man who struck at the head of the nation struck at all the people and meant to do the people harm. Violence was not to be thought of. The law gave the workers their redress at the ballot box, and any man who sought other means to bring about better times did wrong, and every wage- earner Was a natural enemy of the as- sassin, RACE WAR AT AN END, Sherif In Controt and Troops Are Re Meyed from Duty.

Denver is a large, clean and pleasant city, inhabitants num- Bering one hundred and fifty thou- sand. The first beautiful sight to be ween was the large union depot, sur- rounded by a most beautiful lawn. Going up Seventeenth street, known as the Wall street, of Denver, you will sce the most imnagnificent bank Buildings and other buildings, which Bre surely a eredit to the city. ‘Phe next morning. in company swith Mrs. 8. Denny and Miss Lizzie Dixens, we boarded the sight-seeing ar of Denver. On this car are a motorman, conductor and a young man who ‘gives you the most ‘inter- esting description of Denver. He de- seribes every building from mints to schools, capitol to churches, —resi- dences to hospitals, which is, in fact, both novel and entertaining. Jn the morning the street cars take you out two hours and a half for twenty-five cents and also in the afternoon for the same. In the morning we went on the West Side of Denver. A more beautiful sight we never beheld, as you look over to the beautiful sloping mountains and see them covered with snow, looking as if it would only be a step to reach them, and yet they are sixty miles away. Another beautiful and inter- esting sight are the hospitals, as you know this is a refuge for invalids, and you would not wonder either if you Could sce the home for consump- Zives in midday, In going past the Hospital you can see the upper and Fower verandas covered with white ‘cots and on every cot ies an in- valid taking their sun baths. Such @ beautiful contrast: the building be- Ging a yellow and white structure and the lawn so green and beautifal, as the people keep their lawns so love- ly for they do not depend upon rain as we do, but irrigate, and the pro- cess keeps everything looking so green, clean and beautiful Well, I might go en telling you of the sightsecings of Denver, bul as X want to give you a hint as to the doings in polities along the line of woman's suifrage, as you know the women all vote if they wish to. It was quite interesting to me to see the ladies around seeing that every woman in each community had registered.

Mayehatake, a young Japanese who has been studying in Chicago, gives an explanation of the method by which time is reckoned in the chrysanthemum land. The Japanese year begins on our January 1, but instead of counting from the birth of Christ a reckoning is made from the reign of Japan's first emperor, Zimu. Our 1901 is the year 2561 in Japan. When a new ruler mounts the throne a distinctive name is given to his reign and a sort of petty calendar is kept of the years of his government, as we keep track of the age of our republic, writing in legal documents: "Year of our Lord 1901, and of the independence of the United States the 125th." The name for the present mikado's rule, which began thirty-three years ago, is Meiji. This word is pronounced Mayee, and means "peaceful government." Therefore, the current year in Japan is Meiji 34 as well as Zimu 2561. We want you to subscribe for the Iowa STATE BYSTANDER. An Old Lady's Mistake Cardinal Gibbons was formerly a frequent visitor to Cape May and usually took long walks morning and afternoon by the seashore. He always wore his cardinal's skull cap of scarlet silk, of which an inch or so showed below the rim of his silk hat. One afternoon while he was on the board walk an old lady stopped him and said: "Excuse me, sir, but the lining of your hat has slipped down in the back." The cardinal thanked her gravely, but as soon as she left laughed heartily at her mistake.

The first bricks made on North American soil were manufactured by the colonists of Virginia in 1612. They were used in building the church at Jamestown and the residences of the governor and the more important citizens. A portion of Jamestown church is still standing, and the bricks of which it was built are in good preservation and appear to have been well made. --- Republican Ticket For Governor, ALBERT B.

Our angels go out that our archangels may come in. Unhappy is the man for whom his own mother has not made all other mothers venerable. It is poor wit who lives by borrowing the words, decisions, mein, inventions and actions of others. What an absurd thing it is to pass over the valuable part of a man, and fix our attentions on his infirmities. Virtue will catch as well as vice by contact; and the public stock of honest, manly principle will daily accumulate. A greater value should be set on having received instructive and useful lessons than of possessing great store of wealth; for the latter is transitory good, the former is durable. There is scarcely a generalization for one sex which does not apply equally to the other, so perfectly alike in nature are men and women. The difference is only in circumstances. Heart Woman on Suffrage The Connecticut house of representatives took a recess recently in order to give Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker an opportunity to address the members on woman suffrage.

A Curious Deed. A curious deed is on file in Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, according to the Sunbury Republican. It bears date of October 9, 1793. In a series of wherecases it traces the ownership of the land conveyed from the Creator of the earth, who "by parole and livery of seizin did enfeoff the parents of mankind, to-wilt, Adam and Eve, of all that certain tract of land called and known in the planetary system as the earth." down through the ages to the maker of the deed. Great Britain's Population Great Britain and Ireland, according to the compiled census returns, has a population of about 42,000,000. The exact figures are: England, 30,805,465; Wales, 1,720,609; Scotland, 4,471,957; Ireland, 4,456,546; the Isle of Man, 54,758; and the Channel Islands, 95,841, making a total of 41,605,177. To this is added an estimate of 400,000 for the men in the army, navy and merchant service abroad and for the troops serving in South Africa. Old Style Comes Back Glazed chintz in exact reproduction of the patterns in use forty years ago is again coming into favor for wall and furniture covering and is exceedingly quiet and cool looking with trails of old-fashioned flowers on a chalk white background. This material is exceedingly durable and after a couple of years' service for furniture covering, it may be reglazed and is as good as new. Ornamental Designing. The trades in which the ornamental designer is chiefly employed are the various branches of the textile industry, as the manufacture of cotton prints, carpets, curtain materials, dress goods, etc., and also wall paper and oil-cloth. The salary of a designer of course varies according to his capabilities, but one with artistic taste and originality is always well paid. Chair of Historical Research. The Italian government has created at the Royal University in Rome a chair for the advancement of historical research in connection with medieval and modern art. The new chair was created through the efforts of Prof. Venturi, who for the last eleven years has been in charge of the medieval and modern art classes at the university. Two Calamitous Flames The two most calamitous fires ever known anywhere in the world occurred in the United States within thirteen months of each other. In the first of these, in Chicago, on October 8-9, 1871, the property loss was $200,000,000, and in the second, in Boston, November 9, 1872, $80,000,000 of property was consumed. United States Cities. The census taken on June 1, 1900, gives the population of the ten largest cities in the United States as follows: New York, 3,437,202; Chicago, 1,698, 575; Philadelphia, 1,293,697; St. Louis, 575,238; Boston, 560,892; Baltimore, 508,957; Cleveland, 381,768; Buffalo, 352,387; San Francisco, 342,782; Cincinnati, 325,902. An Invisible Ink: Among the Romans an invisible ink was made with the milky juices of certain plants. Its manufacture was a state secret, death being denounced to any who should disclose it, and all important dispatches from the capital to the provinces, or vice versa, were written in this ink. Date of Shakespeare's Birth Considerable uncertainty prevails regarding the date of Shakespeare's birth. Tradition points to April 23, old style, corresponding to our May 5th, as the date. This is in accord with the statement made by the late Sir Walter Besant in his magazine article. A Big Rose Tree. There is a rose tree with a trunk two feet and nine inches in circumference, in a Ventura garden, in California. It is a Lamarque, has been growing a quarter of a century, and yielded over 21,000 blooms in 1895. Planting Rubber Trees The rubber trees is to be introduced into India by the British government The Mexican rubber tree has been selected as the best, and a large shipment of seeds has just been made to Madras. "I have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and find it to be a great medicine," says Mr. E S. Phipps, of Potean, Ark. "It cured me of bloody flux. I cannot speakto highly of it." This remedy always wins the good opinion, if not praise, of those who use it. The quick cures which it effects even in the most severe cases make it a favorite everywhere. For sale by all Druggists. Japan's Exports and Imports In 1868 Japan's export and import trade amounted altogether to 26,246, -445 yen, or silver dollars. In 1890 it reached the figure of 435,384 -820 yen. ```markdown ``` It is said that the Indians gave to the first eastern immigrants who reached California the name of "Wo-hah," formed from "who-haw," the sound they heard the drivers produce when they shouted to their oxen. When Oliver Goldsmith was one day asked regarding James Boswell, "Who is this Scotch cur at Johnson's heels?" the author of "The Good-Natured Man" characteristically responded: "You are too severe. He is not a cur, he is only a bur. Tom Davies flung him at Johnson in sport and he has the faculty of sticking." One day in a London tobacconist's shop, Sandow, the strong man, was handed some change, and in the middle of it he saw something that looked like a bad shilling. He pushed it back across the counter. "I think that one is bad," he said. "Nonsense," said the shop keeper, with an incredulous air. He took up the shilling and tried it in the little brass coin-tester that war screwed to the side of the counter. Then he tendered it again. "It's quite good," he said. "I can't bend it." Sandow smiled and took it between his finger and thumb. "You can't bend it! May I try?" he asked. "Certainly," said the man, with a grin. The strong man pressed the tip of his forefinger toward the tip of his thumb, and the spurious coin bent like tissue paper, "Well," said the tobacconist, dum-founded, "it looks like a wrong 'un after all. Perhaps you will accept another?' And Sandow did. President Porfirio Díaz of Mexico gained national prominence and won his spurs at the battle of Puebla, where the liberal forces made a gallant but ineffectual stand against the French who had invaded Mexico for the purpose of erecting a throne for Maximilian. Notwithstanding that the Mexican forces were defeated, their defense against superior numbers was so gallant that the anniversary of the battle of the 5th of May became a national holiday in Mexico. A brusque American once asked the President: "Why do you Mexicans celebrate a defeat, when you know that the French finally took Puebla?" President Díaz with a twinkle in his eye, replied: "Perhaps we imitated the Americans even to the extent of celebrating our defeats, for I have been told that the British defeated the colonists at Bunker Hill, and yet you built a monument to commemorate the event." SERMONETTES ON M'KINLEY. The President's home was ideal, and his loyalty as a disciple of Jesus Christ was notable.Rev. D. McLeod, Presbyterian, Washington, D. C. The heroic spectacle of that Christian deathbed is an example for all time of how a Christian man may meet the issues of life and death.—Rev. C. J. Young, Puritan, New York City. Above all, McKinley was a Christian, exemplifying in his daily life the sublime power and excellency of the principles of Christianity.—Rev. Dr. Chapman, Methodist, Washington, D. C. The simple truth is this, anarchy is atheism. It is the denial of any overruling Providence and the refusal to recognize any God whose will is law.—Rev. Dr. Huntington, Episcopalian, New York City. President McKinley is dead, but he lives in the lives and in the hearts of all decent people as a man who was true to his God, his country and his manhood.—Rev. C. L. Twing, Episcopalian, Brooklyn, N. Y. The doctrine that humanity could exist, that order and civilization could be maintained without law, and order, as the disciples of anarchy assert, is one of the wildest notions.—Rev. Dr. Drachman, Rabbl, New York City. There is a national grief, and there must needs be a national lesson. What is this horde which finds a harbor among us, and who, to further their own principles and ideas, strike at the innocent and lay them low? They are a class with diseased minds, on evil bent.—Rev. R. M. Kemp, Episcopalian, New York City. BILLPOSTING IN FRANCE. The landlord, usufructuary or tenant in chief, has always the right to oppose any posting on his house and he can take down all posters placarded without his permission. All placarding, done knowingly, of posters which do not contain the names, profession and address of the author and printer is punished by imprisonment of from six days to six months. This punishment is reduced to a fine if the printer's name be disclosed. If the contents of a poster incite to crime or misdemeanors, if they be contrary to morality, the distributors, printers or authors will be punished with a fine of from 16 to 500 francs, imprisonment from one to twelve months and the confiscation of the posters. No private individual may placard posters on public monuments or on places destined to receive official posters—penalty 100 francs. Posting is not allowed on walls of buildings bearing the legend "Stick no bills."—Chicago Chronicle. IN A NUTSHELL. The demand for electrical ventilators in India is ahead of the supply. Electrical apparatus used in mining in this country is estimated to be worth about $100,000,000. Paving experiments are to be made in Havana with vitrified bricks, granite squares and sandstone blocks. --- Czolgosz Showed Abject Fear at Approaching End. HE FEARED ELECTRIC CHAIR. Plaus for the Barial Are Consummated at the Prison—The Remains to Be Decently Put Away by the Authorities—Prison Scenes. Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 29.—As the hour approached for the execution of Leon F. Czolgosz, anarchist slayer of President McKinley, the strain on all connected with the official task became intense. The assassin suffered a slight nervous attack late in the afternoon, but LEON F. CZOLGOSZ. (As he appeared on the day of execution.) the prison officials did not regard it in the light of a breaking down and adhered to their belief that he would go unfalteringly to the chair and death. Aside from the break at nightfall Czolgosz spent his last day of life much as he did all the others since he passed into the hands of the law. The approach of death seemed to awaken no greater consciousness of his position. He again turned his back upon the priests who came to urge him to confess and repent and was undemonstra- in the presence of those of his kin who came to say a last farewell to him. When alone with his guards he remained silent and passed the time either lying on his bunk or in slowly pacing up and down the cell. He talked, when addressed, to those admitted near his cell, with his old delibration and slowness. If he knew strong emotion at any time he was successful in concealing it from those who watched over him. Showed a Good Appetite. The prison guards combated the suggestion that his stolidity was a daze of fear and that the hour of execution would find him helplessly broken down. The prisoner suffered no loss of appetite and during the day CZOLGOSZ (As he appeared when sentenced.)ate the usual allowance of food given to prisoners. Throughout his confinement he had a good appetite and his physical condition was excellent He weighed about 155 pounds, which was thought to represent a slight gain since his arrest. Walter N. Thayer, former warden of Dannemera prison, who was requested by Superintendent Collins to assist and advise Warden Mead during the execution, inspected the death chamber and chair and suggested an improvement in the latter, which was made at once. He found the bars of the back of the chair were rather far apart and expressed the opinion that an unright backboard placed inside the bars would strengthen the grip of the straps upon the body of the condemned man. The suggestion was adopted. While Thayer was inspecting the chair Electrician Davis again lifted the switch and sent the electric current through it in final test. Davis also placed new sponges on the head and leg electrodes. Late in the afternoon the autopsy table was wheeled into the room adjoining the death chamber. Under orders from the warden a coffin was also prepared. The latter is of plain pine, stained black. Condemned Man Indifferent. He refused to heed the words of the priests who came to urge spiritual preparation for death and declined to either re-embrace Roman Catholicism or renounce anarchy. Hence, unless he changes his mind, there will be no religious ceremony at the end. Czol- gosz showed no strength of love for kin nor did he turn to any of those higher considerations which ordinarily claim the thoughts of men occupying his position. He may have suffered untold torture, but, outwardly, he seemed sullen and indifferent. The state is not to surrender possession of his body, and by sundown it will have been secretly intered in ground controlled by the officials of Auburn prison. The plan of burning his clothing and papers will be carried out immediately after the execution. Denounces Church and Clergy. Czolgosz held his last two interviews late at night, the first with Superintendent Collins and the second with his brother and brother-in-law. Both of the interviews were brief and the interviewers did most of the talking until the question of religion was mentioned, when Czolgosz broke from his seeming lethargy and violently denounced the church and the clergy and made his relatives promise that there should be no service for him, living or dead. Prior to the late evening interviews Czolgosz reluctantly received Fathers Fudzinski and Hickey. It was late in the afternoon and occurred after he had once refused to meet them. Crolgosz In Abject Fear. For a month and a day Leon Czolgosz waited for death in the cell to which he was carried when he entered the prison doors fainting from fear of the howling crowd which struggled to get at him. The attempt of the assassin to keep up the appearance of courage made at the beginning of his short trial at Buffalo was a miserable failure, and long before the death sentence was passed he had exhibited to all who saw the inability to even pretend to courage. When Czolgosz was taken to the Buffalo prison on the afternoon of the commission of the crime he soon exhibited his perverse and sullen nature. He was morose and crabbed in his answers to the few questions the attendants put to him. Becomes Ravenous as Beast. Then began the development of his ravenous appetite, akin to that of a wild beast, which has been a charac- THE CZOLGOSZ FAMILY HOME. (In Cleveland, Ohio.) teristic of his prison life. He was kept in as strict seclusion as possible and only the necessary examinations by the police to find it he had confederates in the plot to murder the President interrupted the monotony of his daily life. He thought that he had killed the President instantly and his whole talk for the first few days was on the theory that this was true. The three weeks he spent in the jail wrote their story on the prisoner's appearance. For several days Czolgosz was not given clean linen and the shirt front spotted with blood was worn during this time. The bloody marks on his clothing and the torn clothing itself were the result of the attack made on him by the enraged bystanders in the instant after the shots were fired. In these days his hair was allowed to grow long, and it became matted, and though at one time he had been vain of his personal appearance when a realizing sense of his hopeless condition came to him in the jail he lost this vanity. Was an Abject Coward. He was a miserable, groveling object THE ASSASSIN'S FATHER. since the morning of Sept. 27, when he was brought into the prison in this city. When the train arrived the people, in spite of the precautions of the officers, had learned of the fact that the assassin was on board, and as soon as the car stopped Czolgosz was hustled to the ground and started on the short trip of 100 feet to the door of the prison. The crowd reached him and one blow full in the face from the hand of a workman dazed and frightened him. When the little squad of officers, bruised and battered themselves from the conflict with the crowd, got him inside the protecting wall he was limp and shrieking in his agony of fear. Falling on the floor, the prisoner foamed at the mouth and uttered shriek after shriek until the gruff com- mand of the prison physician compelled him to moderate his cries. Fear of the violence of the mob, object fear, left the assassin physically prostrate and five prison attendants were compelled to bear him to the cell, where he remained a trembling object at the opening of the door since that night a month ago. Cut off from the world and except for the late visit of his brother practically dead to his family as well as the world, he died a thousand deaths in his manifest dread of the actual execution of the sentence of the court. Asks Concerning Death Chair. He discussed with one of the guards the probable sensations of a man while being put to death in the electric chair. He broached this subject after he had sat on his cot for more than an hour smoking a cigar and gazing fixedly through the bars of his cell door. "How does it feel?" he asked suddenly, looking up at the guard. THE ELECTRIC CHAIR (Instrument of death in Auburn Prison.) "How does what feel?" sniffed the guard. "That—in there," said the assassin, jerking his thumb toward the wall, twenty feet beyond which was the entrance to the death chamber, where he paid the penalty of his crime. "Oh, you'll know," said the guard, contemptuously, for nobody about the prison has the least spark of feeling for the assassin. "It's soon over." He appeared to be unlike any type of anarchist criminal with which criminologists are familiar. When he stood erect he was about 5 feet 8 inches in height and his weight was about 140 pounds. His figure might be called athletic were it not for an unmistakable droop of the shoulders. Will Bury Body at Prison. The body of Czolgosz will not be removed from Auburn. Superintendent of State Prisons Collins and Warden Mead, after hours of controversy with Czolgosz' brother, succeeded in obtaining from him the following relinquishment of the family claims to the remains when the executioner shall have finished his work: "Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 28—J. Warren Mead, Agent and Warden, Auburn Prison: I hereby authorize you as warden of Auburn prison to dispose of the body of my brother, Leon F. Czolgosz, by burying it in the cemetery attached to the prison, as provided by the law of the state of New York. This request is made upon the express understanding that no part of the remains will be given to any person or society, but that the entire body will be buried in accordance with the law in the cemetery attached to the prison. "JOHN A. SLEICHER, "GEORGE E. GRAHAM." Snowden wanted remains. The resolution of Superintendent Collins to prevent sensation in the transportation and burial or cremation of the body of Czolgosz took new zest from two offers that were submitted by men of questionable enterprise. A museum-keeper in one of the larger eastern cities telegraphed him an offer of $5,000 spot cash for either the body or the garments of the murderer, and the owner of a kinetoscope wired Warden Mead that he would pay $2,000 for permission to take a moving picture of Czolgosz entering the death chamber. The superintendent also had suspicions aroused as to the motives of some of the relatives of Czolgosz in seeking the body, in view of their poverty and the trouble and danger possible in connection with its removal and disposal. Promises Decent Burial. Promises Decent Burial. The superintendent met Waldeck Czolgosz, brother of the murderer, as he was being escorted to the death cell shortly after his arrival and at once took the matter up with him. He asked Czolgosz if he wanted the body. He said he did. Collins then told him that he did not believe it could be removed without serious trouble and strongly advised him against the attempt. The plan to take it to Buffalo, where Czolgosz had assassinated the president, he regarded as particularly dangerous. Collins discussed the matter from the standpoint of the Czolgosz family and said they would surely avoid serious annoyance and possibly violence by consenting to burial here. He assured Waldeck Czolgosz that he and the family could attend, that they would be protected and that the body would be given decent burial. GIVES UP CZOLGOSZ TOMB. Miss Henrietta Tice of Chicago Makes Change in Plan. Chicago, Oct. 29.—Should the public respond to her request for contributions to build a memorial to Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, Miss Henrietta Tice of 360 Fulton street will go farther than to erect a mere mausoleum to his memory and will build and run a cheap board-house for workingmen. She has changed her mind and now believes that a cold marble slab is not a fitting testimony to what she terms his "warm and lovable nature." Miss Tice styles herself a "revolutionist," and would upturn the entire order of government to obtain a state of free society. She considers Czolgosz a protesting human sacrifice to the present order of the human race. She lives in the rear rooms, on the ground floor, of a two-story frame building, and her time reading socialistic and anarchistic literature. "I would go farther than build a shaft," she said, "for his heart beat too fervently for his fellow-men to be represented in cold stone. Like Ben Adhem he loved his fellow-men, not wisely but too well. He could not do other than he did, for he was one of those men who are compelled by circumstances to step in and protest with their lives against the present system. He was a martyr for his down-trodden fellows, and they can better appreciate a cheap boarding-house than a cold marble slab. That is why I now want such a memorial. I say I am a revolutionist. You ask me if I am an anarchist or a socialist. I do not care what you call me, but I would upturn modern society. My great-grandfather was Brigadier General Hand of the Revolutionary War, and my grandfather was Enoch Hand of the War of 1812. I am an American. Though my forefathers fought for the Republic I do not love it. I was born in La Grange county, Ind., and have lived here since the World's Fair. In this plan I would like to have men of the proletariat help along, and for this reason I have used the daily papers to get their names." 8HOOTING OF M'KINLEY. The premeditated crime which shocked the civilized world and brought Czolgosz to elon's death was one of the most cold-blooded atrocities in the pages of history. McKinley as He Appeared. There could be a no more representative American citizen than was William McKinley, as he stood, that now historic afternoon, in the Temple of Music on the Exposition Ground, and good nature; and a kindly smile illuminated his face as he once another stood for a moment before him, felt his cordial grasp, and received the greeting given. It was a little past four o'clock, and the public reception delivered of his speech on America's success from the rostrum in front of the stage. At his left Mr. John G. Milburn, stood in a cleared space in front of the stage. At his left Mr. John G. Milburn, was ready to present the citizens as they advanced from the entrance at the George B. Cortelyou, private secretary to President McKinley, occupied a position people passed the group, pausing individually for a moment, and then proceeding out on the other corner of the building. Probably there were not many who noticed two quiet-appearing men who stood in the middle of a party. Of those who did, the greater number undoubtedly took them for more omokitters, and did not suspect that they were the only ones necessary for the head of a great republican nation. Soldiers were present, but no one was a chief. There was no premonition that a day so eloquent of the greatness of free America was to end in the blood and sorrow of the war, going down in the red glare of Anarchy unreasonable fury. Yet so it was to be. Assassin Had a Confederate. As the line of handshakers passed the President received the extended hand of his friend, and came a man whose right hand was enveloped by a white handkerchief, and held it in his left hand. Theident, not in the spirit of patriotism and loyal regard for the nation's head, but in the spirit of a man who further back in the line there was another velled hand, and death lurked in the darkness. Theident was hidden. The one which had passed was the apparition of this one. Had the president been the apparition of theident, the other would have disappeared. The assassin's double preceded him unhindered, and the pair of eyes gleaming with blood. The president saw the way clear for a deed of blood. Commits the Awful Deed. The murderer shot the President twice as will be remembered. Czolgosz was soon on the floor in the midst of a group of men, some of whom were striking at the president. The deputy deavored at the same time to protect him against that quick retribution which he so richly deserved. The cry that the president en up, and it speedily found its way outside the building, the soiler roar of an uproar within before eye-witnesses of the tragedy had time to recover from the first shock of surprise and bewilderment. It was only the eagerness of the people to get at the wretch which saved him from being torn limb from limb. If the anarchist had been closely massed when the rush was made for him, they could have carried him to the defence of the defence of him which was made by the officers who interposed themselves between him and the would-be avengers. The pluck struck at each other in their mad eagerness to reach the assassin, and the attack was as effective in holding back the mass as a whole as was the defence of the attack was as effective in holding back the mass as a whole as was the defence of the attack was as effective in maintaining order. There were bitter curses uttered when at length it was found that the man had been taken to the defence of the mass as a spirit which prevailed of such a character that no person who mingled in the There was a solemn spirit in the air where the wounded man tember.

Center Chiefly About Coaling and Reasons for Retrograde Movement—Reasons Why Schley Made the Turn—Precactions He Took to Trap Enemy. Washington, Nov. 1.—The long ordeal to which Admiral Schley has been subjected since Monday morning ended in the afternoon when his cross-examination was concluded and he was allowed to leave the witness stand. When the judge advocate finished the cross-examination, shortly after 3 o'clock, the court propounded to the admiral thirty-four questions prepared by the members of the court. These questions mainly centered, about the difficulties encountered in coiling and the reasons for the retrograde movement. Not one of them related to the battle of Santiago. One of the most interesting features of the day was the development of the fact that the report of the battle written by Admiral Schley July 6, 1898, was not the original report. The latter never has been published, and in accordance with a previous decision the court declined to let it go into the record. Admiral Schley was allowed to explain, however, that Admiral Sampson declined to receive the first report because it did not mention the presence of the New York. Victory Enough for All. "I felt that the victory at that time," said Admiral Schley in explaining the matter, "was big enough for all, and I made this change out of generosity and because I knew if the New York had been present she would have done as good work as anybody else." Captain Thomas Borden of the marine corps, who was aboard the Brooklyn, will be the last witness called for Admiral Schley. After he testifies tomorrow the judge advocate will put on the stand the witnesses in rebuttal, of whom there are understood to be about fifteen, and it is probable that Admiral Schley's counsel will call several witnesses in surrebuttal. Soon after he had taken the stand Admiral Schley was asked by Captain Lemly: "Why did you wait two days after the discovery of the presence of the fleet in the harbor before undertaking your reconnoissance?" "For the reason I had used those two days for coaling the vessels of the fleet, so as to be prepared in case the enemy should come out." "Does your letter to the Senate dated Feb. 18, 1899, plead the precautionary order of the department for not destroying the Colon?" "I should rather think that is the inference." Reasons for the Loop. Admiral Schley, in response to a question, said he never heard of the Texas incident until six months after the battle. He recollected distinctly that he had warned Captain Cook as the enemy approached that they were going to ram him. His attention was next called to his letter to the Senate, in which he said the turn was made to avoid blanketing the fire of his own ships, and also to his statement in examination in chief that he had not turned to port because to do so would have brought the ship into dangerous proximity to the enemy's vessels and exposed her to possible torpedo attack or ramming. "Now," said Captain Lemly, "here appear to be three reasons why you made the turn. Why did you make that turn?" "As I already stated in my direct testimony, there is another very much more important reason which you have not asked, and that was that the ship might continue in action and beat the enemy as we did. That was the controlling one of all." Among the more important questions of the court, with Admiral Schley's answers, were the following: "Had Admiral Cervera left Santiago for some point to the westward at the same time you left Cienfuegos could not his squadron have passed between your ships and the shore without being seen by you?" "If it had been night, probably yes. In the daytime, I think not." "What was your reason for going over twenty miles to the southward of Santiago instead of near the harbor's mouth May 26?" Precautions Against Escape. "Because I laid the course for that point supposing that if the squadron were still out or had got out coincident with my leaving they would run to the southward, and it was with the view of giving me a larger horizon." "Was it not possible for your squadron to blockade Santiago on May 26 for a few days and still have coal enough to run to Key West?" "Yes, if I had known then as I knew subsequently that the fleet was there." "Did not the order under which you were acting require you to remain off Santiago?" "Possibly, yes, but I do not think that the order was given me to derive me of all discretion in the matter if I heard to the contrary." "Did you consider Captain Sigsbee's report that he had not seen the Spanish squadron and Pilot Nunez's statement that the Spanish ships were too large to enter the harbor of Santiago proof that the information given to you by Captain McCalla on May 24 that the Spanish force under Cervera had been reported authoritatively in Santiago on May 19, and that they were still reported there on the afternoon of May 24, was erroneous?" "I do not recollect that he gave me that information. I do not recollect it at all." ROOSEVELT TO BE A GUEST. tation of Silver to Illinois.

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY Must Have Luxurian and Glossy Hair, No Matter What Color. The finest contour, of a female face, the sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses something if the head is crowned with scant hair. Scant and falling hair, it is now known, is caused by a parasite that attacks the hair, where it saps the vitality. The little white scales the germ throws up in burrowing are called dandruff. To cure dandruff permanently, then, and to stop failing hair, that germ must be killed. Newbro's Herpicide, an entirely new result of the chemical laboratory, destroys the dandruff grown on the skin, stops the falling hair, and cures baldness.

PRILLS OF FASHION. Variations in children's gowns bloom out from time to time, even though they are very slight, and small girls rival their mothers in their ambition to keep up to date. Soft wool materials make up very prettily in this way. In figured French flannel the collar may be made of the same and trimmed with rows of narrow brald or velvet ribbon. Skirts of the small gowns are usually plain, but the older girls have some sort of trimming, either tucks, stitched bands, ruffles or velvet folds, stitched on. The long-waisted mode, in which the waist line rounds down low in front, is conspicuously evident among the gowns for girls over 10 years of age, and the small gowns for dainty little girls of 6 imitate this fashion as much as possible by having the long waist all around. Guimpe dresses, which never seem to go out of style, are suitable for all ages, from 6 to the more mature years of middle age. Bolero jackets are very popular in the kingdom of small costumes, and the attempt to produce the effect of stole ends is seen in one little gown, where narrow lace revers are carried down the entire length of the front, as shown in the illustration. Another pretty effect is made by two box plaits in front, one at either side from the yoke to the hem, and two in the back, giving a long effect to the waist, which is defined with a narrow velvet belt ending in small velvet rosettes at either side of the front on the plaits. The skirt gathers on to the waist between the plaits, which apparently are a continuation of those in the waist. A sailor collar of lace covers the shoulders in the back and opens in front over a yoke of tucked white silk or batiste. Thin gowns of point d'esprit for party wear are variously trimmed with ruches, ruffles, lace insertion and rows of colored satin ribbon. A pretty feature of the small girl's costume is the coat and hat to match.—New York Sun. Proposed Highway for bicycles. A perfect highway from New York to San Francisco, in as near a straight line as it is possible to make it, with a width of 120 feet, for the use of automobiles and bicycles, as well as for the use of the farmer, is a thing that the Automobile club of America will try to bring about. The subject was seriously discussed at a banquet, in honor of members of the National Highway Commission, at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, when plans were made and the route announced. Besides a direct path from New York to San Francisco, passing through Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and Ogden, the club wants a highway along, each coast. Congress will be asked to appropriate one-third of the expense, and the states, counties, townships and cities en route will be asked to pay the rest; the owners of property benefited to donate the right-of-way. The club and highway commission have on their list of membership the names of some of the foremost men of America. Ormage Free State Flag. The Orange Free State flag is a simple rectangle of vivid orange. An orange tree in full fruit is the most distinctive feature of the arms of the Orange Free State. Beneath the tree are on one side a lion and on the other a number of oxen. An ox-wagon similar to that on the Transvaal arms and three suspended horns complete the whole "Spes Bona"—good hope—is written underneath the arms of Cap Colony, the chief feature of which is a lion rampant. A figure of Hope surmounts the shield, the "supporters of which are a couple of native animals." What a Girl Did. A girl named Ackerman, aged 14, daughter of an English laborer, has just completed her education. She has never missed being present since the school was opened, and in completing her 2,451 attendances is said to have walked 6,000 miles. She has passed every standard successfully and in the three subjects on first grade drawing obtained "excellent" prizes in freehand and model, as also in the three stages of the specific subjects, literature, domestic economy and animal physiology, and in one stage in physical geography. She has also obtained 26 other prizes for good attendance, sculpture and knitting etc. Palmetto Retires a Millionaire. Count Hamong, better known in the United States as Cheiro, the palmist, has retired from the business a millionaire, writes a Paris correspondent. The only known man to make a million telling fortunes has bought a chateau in the champagne country, where he has gone to cultivating vines. Candidate Not Tell Knobb A young woman at Conway Springs, Kan, advertised for a husband and the advertisement was answered by a young farmer living near Pratt. Correspondence followed and in time the pair became engaged. Recently the young fellow went to see his lady love for the first time. When he arrived at her house and before he could salute her she scanned him over critically and said: "I can never marry you. You are three inches shorter than my ideal and we never could live happily." And that ended the affair. Astounding Valves in Newest Fall Merchandise!

It is so cold 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 experi-menter 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 heat 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 curiosity. A new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler, and this one he ate with much relish. --- TOCALIFORNIA Through first-class and Tourist Sleeping Cars to points in California and Oregon every day in the year.
