BANK ROBBERS CAUGHT BY POSSE TELEPHONE DID THE WORK Rural Lines Enabled the Sheriff to Rouse the County--Although Heavily Armed the Robbers Surrendered Without Firing a Shot. Sheldon, Dec. 17.—Tuesday night four robbers blew open the vault of the Bank of Quimby at Quimby, and secured $8,000 in cash and a bundle of valuable papers. At noon yesterday, less than twelve hours afterward, the robbers were captured after a long chase by Sheriff Price and a pod of farmers. The rural telephone lines, which form a perfect network of wires over northwestern Iowa, played no small part in the capture of these desperate bandits. The bells began ringing and jingling in the farm houses along the route supposed to have been taken by the robbers in making their escape, and in a short time Sheriff Price had them well located with weapons all of sorts, in pursuit. The men were located shortly after noon, six miles southeast of Sheldon, where they were surrounded. Though they had three big revolvers, a Colt's magazine gun and hundreds of cartridges, they were without fire, shot a shot at their pursuers. Just before they were surrounded, the robbers threw away a large package, which was later packed up and found to contain gold, silver and paper. They were then taken in their possession more than $1,300 of their plunder. The postoffice at Paulina was also entered and robbed Tuesday night of about $115 in money and stamps. It was discovered that the robbers also located, and a capture is not unlikely to follow soon. The robbery at Quimby was much like the other robberies in Iowa. The bank was entered through a hole in the wall, and the safe were forced open with four charges of nitrogylene. The vault and safe were completely wrecked. The bank was insured in the New Amsterdam company of New York under urgency, and will not lose anything. The Bank of Quimby was started about half a dozen years ago as a private institution by J. B. Groves, a wealthy farmer of this county, later incorporated the principal stockholders of the institution are E. D. Huxford, vice-president of the State Bank of Cherokee; J. C. Hall of Cherokee and John M. Hamilton of Cedar Rapids. WOULD CHANGE PENAL LAW. State Board of Control, Buggets Many Important Inventions. Many important innovations. Des Moines, Dec. 17.—Revision of the De Moines, Dec. 17.—Revision of the forcefully suggested for the consideration of the coming general assembly by the state board of control, through a paper read by Judge G. S. Robinson, one of the three members of the board, at the quarterly conference of superintendents today. The following summary embodies the recommendations in the briefest possible form: inspection of city and city prisons. 2—Juvenile court with large discretionary power. 2—State reformatory for males under 20 and women under 25. der 30 and women under 25. 4-Power to suspend sentence when for less than two years. - 10-Indemnite sentences for all bishops. - 6-Creation of a parole and prison board. - 7-Supervision of the paroled criminal and furnishing him employment. - 8-Witness of the punishment and Reformation." It was most carefully prepared, and was warmly approved by his confers on the board. Hon. John Cowie and lieutenant to tail to show that the present Iowa statutes are lame and defective, and in many respects behind the times. He earnestly urges that the legislature and judiciary create a special board for paroles and pardons. These are the most important and radical changes suggested, although the recommendation for juvenile offenders if adopted, would constitute an important innovation. Iowa State college won two grand championship prizes at Chicago, and a total of 49 prizes on cattle and hogs to amount of $1,600. The champion pen of Berkshire were bred on the college farm, also College Lad, the prize yearling Angus animal, who won cross-country and Shorthorn-Gallway cross calf calf, took three firsts and the championship prize. H. L. Carpenter was killed at Waterloo while crossing the Illinois Central belt line with his milk wagon. He was bundled up and the windows of his wagon were frosted so that he could not hear or see the coming train. The Illinois Central passenger train ran from New York to him to the ground. His skull was crushed, and he died as the result of the accident. Levy's brother died in Chicago the other day. The undertaker telegraphed ed to Levy: "What shall I do with the body? I can embalm it for $50 or freeze it for $30. And I can graph it from the up for $20; he had his feet frozen last winter."

Action of Legislature Killed Building and Loan Business. Dec Moine, Dec 12—Building and loan companies in Iowa will soon become ancient history. The state auditor, B.F. Carroll, authority for the statement that they are all winding up their affairs as rapidly, as possible and going out of business. All this is brought about by the passage of a law at the last session of the legislature that limits their revenue to 8 per cent on the investment and requires that they be failures for many years, and the failures that were frequent, are at an end. Banks are offering as good opportunity to the borrowers who really have decent security to offer as was ever offered by the banks. Those who desire to build are usually accommodated if they can show that they have the means to make periodical payments and will reasonably be expected to do so. The interest rate on the investor is much better protected. This situation was recalled as the result of an application of the Boone Building and Loan association for authority from the state executive to issue a lien against the firms almost by virtue with that provided by law. The new statute provides a form for litigation, and, wherever it is desired to depart from this, the plan must be outlawed. The Boone Company plan was discussed at the meeting of the council yesterday afternoon, but no action was taken. There are still a large number of businesses in the city, but they are all preparing to liquidate as soon as possible, says the state auditor, and have all ceased to solicit business. The winding up of their affairs is proceeding as rapidly as possible, and the state guarding of the interest of those whose funds are invested. Woodward of Decatur County Moine, Missouri. Studied a chemistry course in its contents, the stomach of Mrs. Charles Woodward, of Decatur county, whose death occurred last Tuesday, is now in the hospital of Decatur County. N. Kinney of Drake University. The stomach was brought here last night by Dr. H. R. Layton, coroner of Decatur county, and Dr. A. Brown, also of the same county, and placed in Dr. Kinney's possession. The coroner will be to full of mystery. The autopsy, according to Coroner Layton's story, revealed evidences of strychnine poisoning, the certainty of which will be determined by the chemical analysis which Professor Kinney will make at Drake town. In connection with the action of the doctors is a strange story of a son disinherited by a wealthy father in favor of the son's wife, a life insurance policy and various other incidents, sufficiently startling to make some laughs and plot for a Sherlock Holmes story. Coroner Layton said: "The woman was the wife of Charles Woodward, the son of a farmer supposed to be worth $200,000, and one of the leading residents of Decatur county, the Woodwards live about two miles from the town of Lost Lake Tuesday morning. Woodward and his wife was起 to drive to the home of Mrs. Woodward's mother, about eight miles distant. On the way Mrs. Woodward was taken sick and died a short time afterwards at the home of her mother. "Convulsions preceded her death, and it was suspected that she had been poisoned. B. L. Eikker of Decatur, performed the autopsy, and were of the opinion that strichne was the cause of the woman's death. MUCH INTEREST SHOWN. An Iowa-Cape Breton Company Creates Great Interest in State. Des Moines, Dec. 16—During the past few weeks much interest has been shown throughout the state in an active campaign inaugurated by the Cape Breton Coal & Iron Co., of Des Moines, for the sale of its capital stock. It was understood that the company own about forty square miles of valuable coal and iron lands on the Island of Cape Breton whose vast stores of coal and iron and other wealth producing minerals have recently created so much interest in the industrial world of America that the company's holdings, it is said, offer large opportunities for profit. Report declares that the sale of stock is progressing rapidly and that the company is being placed upon a very favorable financial basis for the success of its properties. The company is composed of conservative business men and is interesting the best class of investors of the state. Confident predictions of a wonderful future are being made. Stock is being sold in the high class of the investment and the value of the company's holdings, and is certain of a quick advance. A very fine booklet "Cape Breton Coal and Iron," which describes the enterprise, has been issued and is mailed free upon request. Fire at Ottumwa destroyed the library barn of William Walker in Batavia. Five horses were burned, and Night Watchman was escaped from death in the flames while trying to save property. The loss is $2,000. Twenty years ago an unsuspected man in Lexington, Ind., stole three geese from a neighbor. The despolied farmer has just received five dollars from a resident in Washington, D.C., confessing the theft, and thus making financial reparation. He states that for years he has been unable to sleep well, as a flock of geese always haunted his dreams, no matter where he slept. "Have you heard the latest? Brown's dog was with his chauffeur." More what a pity! He was such a good chauffeur! Brown will never be able to replace him." The tiny storm petrel possesses immense wing power, and is the smallest web-footed bird known.

Copyright, 1908, 1909, by The Curtis Publishing Company. Copyright, 1902, by L. C. Page & Company, (Incorporated.) "The crew of the California put it down to him at once." "I don't know that it was necessary him," said Cartwright pensively; "though he has the worst name, he's no worse than the others. For a crew that knocked the Shannon is a Jew boy, of course—is a deal tougher than Smith." And just then Selwyn, who knew the chief of police was on board, put his head into the admiral's cabin. "Could I speak to you a moment, Sir Richard?" And Dicky Dunn went outside. "I'll have you had this Cartwright with you, sir," said Selwyn, "that I ought to tell you a queer yarn that has just been brought me by one of the quartermasters. It seems that one of the men has a story that you once had a fight with Shanghai Smith and hurt him badly. It was in Australia I believe I said—"the admiral; "let me think. By Jove, I did have a row on Sandridge Pier years ago, and I broke the man up so that he had to go to a hospital. And his name—yes, it was Smith. Thanks, Selwyn. I'll see if this man ever was in Australia." He went back to Cartwright. "Didn't you see the Sheeny, admiral," said Cartwright, who was beginning to feel comfortable. "Never mind the Sheeny, Mr. Cartwright," said his host; "do you know Smith's record? Where did he come from?" "He came from Melbourne," replied the chief. And the admiral slapped his leg. "That's the man, I believe." "Why?" "Never mind why," said Dunn. "But supposing it was, could we prove it against him?" "Doubt it," said Cartwright cheerfully. "Probably no one would know it but his runner. And Bill Haines would perjure himself as easy as drink lazer." "But if we did prove it?" "There'd be an appeal, and so on," said the chief. He indicated large and generous delay on the part of the merciful American law by a wave of his hand. "You see we couldn't prove, anyhow, that he knew you was you," said Cartwright, "and if I know my own business, it would come down to a matter of assault and so many dollars." "That's what I imagined," said the admiral. "So I proposed to take the matter in hand myself and relieve you of it. For though Smith, or the real man, might come off easily, if I choose to have it made an international business some one will have to pay who is guilty enough," said Cartwright uneasily. "On the whole, admiral, I'd rather you took the job on yourself, provided it was put through quietly. What do you propose?" Dunn put his hands in his pockets, and "quarter-decked" his cabin. "I want to be sure it's Smith—morally sure. How can I be sure? I'll tell you now what I know about him." He repeated what Selwyn had said, and told him the story of his having fought a man on Sandridge Pier at Melbourne fifteen years before. "His name was Smith." "I said that a pair of handcuffs," said the chief of police. "I'll think it over and let you know. Stay, sirree, I've got it now. Look here, admiral, now you mark me. This is a scheme. It'll work, or my name's Dennis. I'll have it put about in the right quarter that though there isn't evidence to touch the real man who worked the racket on you, it is known actually corralled you and aboved you on the California. I'll get the proper person to do that. The evidence is being made out. And next day I will all the runners of all the chief boarding houses arrested. Do you see?" "No, I don't," said the admiral. "Oh, come," cried Cartwright, "the man we don't arrest will be the man who done it." Yes, 8. "Well," said Cartwright, "I understood you didn't particularly hanker to catch the under-strapper." "Ah," said the admiral, "of course I see. You mean—" "I mean the boarding house boss will shove the runner that did it out "Your plan is excellent." of sight. And then you'll know him by reason of the very means he takes not to be given away. For of course he'd reckon that the runner on being hold would squal. "It's a good plan," said the admonitor, "to know what kind of punishment would Mr. Smith like least of all?" "Provided you remember he's an American citizen, I don't care what you do," replied the chief. "But if you asked me I should get him served the way he's served you. Shanghai Smith among a crowd of informal in an office, such as the Harvester (and the skiffen of the Harvester hates him like poison)—and she sails in three days—would have a picnic to their life. For you see, they know him. "I'll think it over," said the admiral. "Your plan is excellent." "So it is," said Carlwright, as he rowed ashore, for "Saint mith no favorite of mine, and at the same time it will look as if I gave him the straight racket, anybw." He sent an agent down to the water front that very night. The man dropped casual hints at the boarding houses, and he dropped on bar-ben ground everywhere but at Shanghai. "Jehoshaphat," said Smith, "so that's the game!" Peter Cartwright had, in his own language, "reckoned him up to rights," for the very first move that Smith played was to make a break for Billy's. A man is fighting a man in bed. "What's up now?" Room. As the runner had been up most of the night before enticing sallormen off a Liverpool ship just to keep his hand in, he was as fast asleep as a bear on Christmas day, and he was mighty silky when Smith shook him out of sleep by the simple process of yanking his pillow from under his bed. "An't a man to get no sleep that works for you!" he demanded. "What's up now?" "Hell is up, and fizzling," replied Smith. "I've had word from Peter Cartwright that you'll be arrested in the mornin' if you don't skin out. It's the admiral. I wish I never set eyes on him. Come, dress and skit; 'nw do you for you be jailed; mebbe they'd got all you need. There nw' no such thing as real gratitude loft on earth." Billy rose and shuffled into his clothes sulently enough. "To Portland," said Smith; "the Mendocino leaves in the mournin' for Crescent City and Astoria, don't she? Well, then, go with her and lie up with Grant or Sullivan in Portland till I tell you know the coast is clear. And here's twenty dollars; go easy with it." He sighed to part with the money. And in the morning, when Smith heard that ten runners at least had been killed in the attack on Mr. Peter Cartwright, he was glad to be able to declare that Billy was not on hand. "He's gone East to see his old man," he said drily. "And as his father is a millionaire and lives in the Fifth avenue, N' York, he couldn't afford to disregard his dyn' desire to see him." You are a daly, Smith," said the police officer who had put Billy, "Between you and me, what have you done with him?" Smith shook his head. "I shot him last night and cut him up and pickled him in a cask," he said, with a wink. "And I've shipped him to the British ambassador at Washington, C. O. D." "You're as close as a clam, ain't you, Smith? But I tell you Peter is havin' a picnic. This admiral's game was playin' it low down on Peter, whoever did it. There are times when man can't help his friends." Smith lied freely. "You can tell Peter I had nothin' to do with it." "Yes, I can tell him!" said the police officer. And he did tell him. As a result the chief of police wrote to the admiral: "Sir—I have interrogated all the runners but one belonging to the chief boarding houses, and have succeeded in obtaining no clue." The one man missing was running to Mr. William Smith, commonly known as 'Shanghai' and considering what you said to me I inclined to wait developments. If you will inform me what you wish to me, I should be glad to accommodate you in any way. "P. S.-If you could write me a letter saying you are quite satisfied with the steps I have taken to bring the offender to justice, I should be obliged. "P. S.-If you wish to meet Mr. John P. Sant, captain of the Harvest, now lying in the hay and sailing the day after to-morrow, I can arrange it." Dicky Dunn, on receiving Peter's letter called in his flag lieutenant. Selwyn instinctively put his hand to the back of his head. "Yes, Sir Richard. They sandbagged me, as they call it, and kicked me." "I pretty sure I know who did it," said the admiral, "and I'm proposing to get even with the man myself. I like getting even in my own fashion. What would you do if I could tell you who it was that laid the plot against us that night," "he told the admiral, sir." The admiral nodded. "I believe I did punch his head, years ago, Selwyn. But he was look- lug for a fight and found it, and ought to have been satisfied. Between you and me and no one else, the chief of police here and I have fixed this matter up between us. He says that he has no evidence, and the only man who might have given the affair away has been shipped off somewhere. I'm going to show Mr. Smith that he didn't make a buccino mate of me for nothing. And I want you to help. I've got a selvese." He unfolded it to Selwyn, and the rover, lieutenant chuckled. "He used to be a seaman," said the admiral, "but for twelve years he's been living comfortably on shore, sucking the blood of sailors. And if I know anything about American ships—and I do—he'll find three months in the focacle of the ship where wores than three inches in a jail. Now we are paved the United States quite unofficially, with the convivance of the police!" He lay back and laughed. He my back, came. "Oh, I call you," said the admiral "to the against something not laid down in his chart when he fell in with me. You can come ashore with me now and we'll see this Cartwright American ways suit; me, after all." "Then I understand, Mr. Cartwright," said the admiral, an hour later, "that there won't be a policeman anywhere within hall of this Smith's house to borrow night." "I've got other business for them," said Peter. "And I can see Mr. Sant here this afternoon." "I'll unaware to have him here if you call along at three." ("To be continued.) Not Sold to the Same Extent as Formerly, but Still in Demand. "Do we still sell the old-fashioned family Bible, with pages in it for the record of births, deaths and marriages? Oh, yes," said the bookeller, "but not so many of them as we once did. "There are more Bibles sold now, taking them altogether, than ever before, and the Bible is issued now in an almost endless variety of format styles; but the demand is in this particular form is now. I should say, not more than one-third what it once was." "Still, we keep these record Bibles to-day in a dozen styles, ranging in price from $2 to $20. The blank record pages, these often illuminated, are bound in between the two Testaments. "In some of these Bibles there is a blank presentation page upon which may be written the name of the person to whom the Bible is presented, with the name of the giver; and in some of them is contained a blank marriage certificate with the pages for the record of births, deaths and marriages, pages for the record of temper ance pledges. "These Bibles are more likely to be bought nowadays by country people and it might be by people of the German race and by Irish Protestants; all likely to be substantial people of comfortable means; conservative people who cling still to time-honored cus toms, while the old-time family record Bible, with pages for the record of births, deaths and marriages, has gone somewhat out of fashion, and is not sold to the extent to which it once was, yet it is still sold, and the demand for it is still considerable." Good Judges of Whlsky "When you hear a man say that he is a good judge of whisky," said an importer, "take the statement with a large allowance of salt. This is especially true of a man who is in the habit of drinking whisky. Most drinkers who smack their lips and shake their heads knowingly cannot tell good whisky from bad. A man whose whisky is too strong, who is tasting it all the time will not swallow half a pint in a month. He merely tastes it. Drinking the liquor blunts the senses and destroys the taste. A good judge of whisky must have a natural aptitude for the business, as in any other trade, and must guard his appetite. He must be careful what he eats, avoiding onions, garlic, and highly scented foods. Some professional whisky tasters mix their whisky with water and then heat it before they taste it. But that is not necessary with a man of experience who takes care of his appetite." Japanese Wedding Presents Japanese Wedding Presents Japanese wedding presents are not of the same material favor favored in our part of the world, are chiefly intended to express some valuable sentiment. Thus at a recent event, the most prominent gift was a mountain formed of rolls of white and red floss silk, the ends of each roll being tied with part-colored twine in hard knots, emblematic of the indisolubility of the marriage tie. The floss silk typified gentle but enduring constancy, the strength of its skin contrasting with their softness and flexibility. Round the base of the mountain, were ornaments of fresh rice straw, plaited into the forms of the storks and tortoises of longevity, and the pine bamboo and plum of pleurium bloom, while into the loops of the plants were thrust pieces of the dried Bonito fish, a favorite accompaniment of wedding presents, its name "Katsu-woboshi" is a homonym for the three Chinese characters signifying victorious, manly and brave. Among the Brass' River tribes of West Africa when a young couple got married it is the custom for the oldest member of the bride's family to present the bride with a plot of ground six feet long. This is for the grave of her family and herself when they die. The first member of the new family who dies is buried about twenty feet below ground and the next one almost six feet, and this goes on until all the family die and are buried. The grave holds them all, and this, they think, prevents them from being separated. This gruesome wedding present is the most valued by the bride, the favored saying being being, "When all other things are gone, this remains." M. G. W.

These lines are not original with me. They are taken from a tuneful little dity angry in George Ade's comedy, "Peggy from Paris." The single dance through my brain the other day as we lay on the sliding at Prairie Junction, or some such place, to let the Santa Fe's west bound California Limited go by. It was a gorgeous train of car parks, and behind the glass observation windows beauty and fashion and youth and old age were loiling among the luxuriant cushions, some still reading a novel, still dozing, some making wreaths or cigar smoke, some gazing dreally through the windows at the passing of cities, and fields, and forests and rivers. I stood on the rear platform of the last car of our train and watched the California Limited us she faded away toward the golden west. And I thought of the difference between travel now and travel in the days of '49, when it took the gold-seeker half a long, weary year, filled with all kinds of hardship to travel the distance that is now covered in three days. I thought of the slowly moving wagons, the dust, the stones, the jolting, the thirst, the hunger, the homesickness, the smalllike crossing of plains, the laborious climbing or mountains, the difficult跋涉, the ending trail. In these palaces that had just glided by were people going to the same place to spend the winter months where the climate is perpetual summer. And they were not to endure a single hardship on the journey. When night came they were to lie in beds whose soft embrace makes sleep a luxury—and in the day time the velvet cushions of their seats were to be made deeper still by pillows—and they were to spend a diligent day glittering dining car, where every dainty that ever tickled the palate is cutically served—in short, they were to have on the trip all the comforts of home—and of the best kind of home. I stood there and watched them pass out of sight while my soul was consumed with eury. But I derived some sense of joy from the joy of time I, too, would see California, and I promised myself that if I ever did go there it be would be over the Santa Fe. "JOHNNY DRUMMER."

NONCOMMISSIONED STAFF AND CLERKS AT POST HEADQUARTERS. 1 A This year we have endeavored to present in a brief manner a summary of the famous 24th Infantry colored regiment, of which General Corbin was at one time colonel, and we might remark right here that it was through this regiment has gained his star of the brigadier. There is no American regiment since the history of this country that has been in so many engagements, won as many battles and received as many compliments from a military point of view as this famous regiment, when we remember that the American people are color prejudice. The general headquarters of this regiment at present are at Ft. Harri- NON-COMMISSIONED STAFF AND son, Mont., which is located three miles west of Helena, the capital, Cos, N, C, S, and A, B, C and D are there, while Cos, F, G, and H are at Ft.

All of the above companies have saw hard service both in Cuba and the Philippine islands for their courage to accept the challenge, except the chaplain are white, and who chief musician all the rest are colored men. The maximum strength of these companies are sixty-five men, while their band is supposed to have but twenty-eight men. They have a number of beginners for instruction, The image provided does not contain any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a building interior with multiple rows of windows and a central hallway. which raises their number to about forty pieces. Their expense per month amounts to $2.50, and leaves them a very nice sum with their monthly salary, which, when deposited with the government, draws 4 per cent. They have a musical library valued at $5,000, which contains none but high class music. Any duly qualified musician who wishes to enlist with the band which communicate with the band musician James A. Moss. In giving further history will quote occasionally what other papers have said of this famous regiment. Within a few days Manila will be pulled upon to sex farewell to a re- 100 --- ment which both socially and as a military organization has added much to the pleasure of its citizens. A few spasmodic occurrences brought about by the bad element that exists even in the congregations of the faithful cannot obscure the fact that Manila will be the loser when the 24th Infantry goes away. The active part taken by its officers in affairs civic and social, the smart appearance and, in general, orderly behavior of the men, and above all the artistic advantages enjoyed through the presence in the city of the regiment's incomparable hand, have all combined to make its presence in Manila a thing to be remembered—Manila American. FAREWELL CONCERT OF THE TWENTY-FOURTH. The Twenty-fourth Infantry Band, whose presence in the city has given so much pleasure to the residents of Manila, not only at the evening drives on the Launeta and at the Zorrilla, but at many social functions in the capital, will go on board the transport Thursday for home. It is a source of regret to not only every American resident, but to the foreign colonies as well that duty calls this excellent musical organization from these islands. Director Thompson has brought this organization to a degree of excellence not surpassed by any military band and he is to be ND CLERKS AT POST HEADQUARTER Before leaving, however, the band has prepared an exceptional program for this evening, which will positively be their last appearance on the Luneta until duty calls them back again.

Loud and urgent are the calls from western farms and orchards for scores of thousands of wage earners for the harvesting of the crops and the garnering of the fruits. But too many illiers, tramps and boggars in our cities, and in the country regions also, turn deaf ears to such appeals and refuse tempting opportunities to earn honest and comfortable livings. The vagrant spirit, the "dead-beat" desire to get along without working, is too conspicuous everywhere.—New York Tribune. Belleves Sea Serpent Exists The naturalist of the Belgica expedition latly told the Zoological Society of France that he believes the sea serpent to exist, and that it is not at all an imaginary creature of song and song. He says it is not a reptile, but a mammal of the order of the pliopsidae, to which family the seals being. In form it resembles somewhat the extinct pliopsaurus, attaining a length of 200 feet, the head and neck being one-fourth of the length, the trunk one-fourth and the tail one-half. It never approaches the coast except in pursuit of the fish on which it lives. ERS. Old furniture collectors in this city have lately been driving prices higher and higher. The rage for Chippendale and Sheraton patterns of the finer lines is greater than ever. Chairs especially fetch astonishing prices. Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chippendale chair of rare pattern, though it be out of repair. A collector in this city paid the other day $275 for a Chippendale armchair. Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $50 and $100—New York letter. Anked and Answered.

Jewels Require a Rest Many jewels require an occasional sleep, so to speak, in order to retain their brilliancy. Diamonds, rubles and sapphires are among the number. They should be put away in total darkness every now and then. The usual velvet or satin-lined cases are the correct receptacles. It is best to wrap zems in jewelers' tissue paper, then pack in wool and lay in airtight compartments. A number of stones are seriously affected by fumes from furnaces, sewer gas, moisture and sea air. Father of Lexicographia Dr. Johnson, even excepting his predecessor, Bailey, was not the father of exticographers. In the latest volume issued by the Historical Manuscripts Commission on manuscripts in the Welsh language it is stated that the idea of illustrating the meaning and correct use of words by actual quotations from the literature of a living language seems to have been first put in practice by Griffith Hiraethog, the herald bard of Wales, who died in 1564. Export Wood to Germany. Imports of wood into Germany from the United States have more than trebled since 1880, amounting in 1902 to more than $5,850,000. It consisted mostly of pitch pine. This wood is more resistant to the weather and costs much less than oak. It is used for making doors, windows, floors, etc., while oak is used in the manufacture of the finer grades of furniture. Japanese Hemp. Among the industries of Japan which are receiving especial attention is the manufacture of hemp. It is reported that orders have recently been executed for a supply of fishing nets for Alaska valued at $30,000, and that a commissioner has lately been sent to Canada to investigate and report on the prospect of extending the market for nets in that country. Cost of Gravitation. In an address before the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Mr. Charles Hawkin's remark that water obtained by gravitation is almost, if not quite, as expensive as water obtained by pumping, may be something of a surprise to a lawman, but is easily explained by the greater cost of gravitation works. A Touching "Appele." The following notice is said to be posted over the almsbox of a certain cathedral door in Northern Italy: "Appee to charitables.

Millions for Religion The American investment in religious and educational institutions in Turkey is $6,500,000, and more than $20,000,000 has been spent in mission work covering nearly a century. The chivalry of Europe is, in great measure, a product of the Saracen chivalry which entered Europe in two streams flowing through Constantinople and through Spain. Turkish War Expenses Something like three-fourths of the annual expenditure of the Turkish government has of recent years been for arms and munitions of war. Silent Japanese Soldiers Japanese soldiers fight noiselessly. They have no bands, no drums beat eville or tattoo, and in action they utter no cheers. Irrigation Adds Value.

Twentieth Century Problems. Some of the problems which Dr. Simon Newcomb expects the twentieth century to solve are the minute corpuscles which exist around the millions of atoms, which, for example, make up a drop of water; the slight change of the magnetic needle; the mystery "of the so-called new stars which blaze forth from time to time," the causes of these outbursts; the possible solution of earth problems from these and other phenomena, and the things that M. Curies' radium suggest. Alcohol From Sawdust. A Norwegian chemist has discovered a new and cheap way of making alcohol from sawdust. Sawdust is treated under pressure with diluted sulphuric acid, by which the cellulose is transformed into sugar, which, by adding fermentation producers, is converted into alcohol in the old manner and then distilled. Two hundred and twenty pounds of sawdust yield fifteen pounds of alcohol. Dr. A. Negril of Pavia announced last March the discovery of the specific micro-organism of hydrophobia. He now states that he has examined more than 100 dogs with natural or laboratory hydrophobia, and has never failed to find the specific micro-organism in the nerve centers. On the other hand, he has never found it in other dogs. Honest Man's Epitaph A cemetery in Warcham contains this tribute of praise to an honest man: "John Christy, died June 17 1838, age unknown. Hibernia's son, himself exiled, without an inmate, wife or child. He lived alone, and when he died his purse, tho' small, contained enough to pay us all and buy this stone." Bcaln Measurements. The largest human brain of 900 measured was that of a woman, 115 cubic inches; the smallest adult male's, 62 cubic inches. There is mentioned the skull of one of the Inca Peruvian race which is but 60 cubic inches. The Caucasian skull is larger than that of any other race. Effect of Sun Spots. In speaking of the effect of sun spots on the earth, Prof. Elkins of the Yale observatory, said: "They produce no climatic or atmospheric disturbances or changes. The effect of the spots is entirely magnetic. It takes a very sensitive compass to be affected even." Old Remedy for Smallpox. In the twelfth century a certain John of Gaddesden advocated that smallpox patients should be dressed in red clothes, and that red curtains should be placed before the windows; this is really the essence of the Finsen treatment—Stray Stories. Poor France. Statistics, like fishermen, tell curious stories. In fifty years the population of France has increased 12 per cent. In the same period the consumption of alcohol has increased 225 per cent. The Frenchman is learning to drink—Denver News. Lends Money to Convicts. In Italy the government permits an old warder to act as moneylender to the convicts. He advances them money to buy luxuries in the shape of sugar, butter and oil, and in return he receives an order on the amount they earn. Small Wages in India. Official statistics also show that the income of the agricultural laborer in average Indian districts is from $1 to $2 a month, and with that income the poor man has to support himself as well as his wife and children. Improvement in Shaft Sinking. The sinking of shafts through wet ground has recently been successfully accomplished by the aid of artificial freezing. The ground is hardened in this manner to prevent a sudden inrush of water. Hopeleasness. The lack in our spiritual life of the hope of an existence beyond the grave is like the hopelessness for recovery from a disease of the flesh, only infinitely more terrible—Exchange. Short of Apples. This year's apple harvest in France will be unusually short, on account of the late frosts and the ravages of the caterpillar. Prices will be even higher than those of 1902.

Within fifty years Russia has acquired new territory which in area is larger than the United States. Premium Dollar. A silver dollar, 1798, small eagle, is worth $2: large eagle, $1.50. An Irish Built. George Moore, the novelist, has accumulated from his residence in Ireland and a number of Irish anecdotes that are not included in his sad book, "The Untitled Field." Mr. Moore says that he was walking one day in a Dullin street when an undertaker's assistant passed him, carrying on his back a coffin unusually tiny. A young man stopped the assistant near Mr. Moore, "Is it possible," exclaimed the young man, "that this coffin is intended for 2 ; cS ye Pail i 5 »\ / [ye = U7 yp GEORGE HENRY WHITE, “The heights which men have gain Wore not ettained by si ere not ied by single flight ‘They, while thelr companions slept ‘Were. toiling upward in the night. —Longtellow. ‘Tho “poet of the fireside” probabl had never heard of George Henr} ‘White when he penned these immorta Anes, but to no man do they more ft tingly apply than the Inst negro o this decade to sit in the halls of the ‘American congress, From the pine forests of North Carolina to the con gress of the Unite! States fs a fai cry, but Mr, White in a trifie ovei forty years made the journey—not by ‘a “single flight,” by by incessant toil intelligently devised industry, rigid economy, development of a ° sturdy character, a well-kept physical body— all stirred and animated by a burning Jove of race, a brilliant fire of genius that knew no discouragement. Ina little log cabin in Bladen coun ty, North Carolina, miles and miles from a rallroad—almost virgin soll— in the year 1852, George Henrv White ‘was born, His early youth offered little that was inspiring. But men of ambition are not held down by circumstances. They find Joy in overcoming obstacles, Young ‘White outgrew his surroundings and seized his first opportunity, went off to a country school to begin the rudi ments of an education. Later he took a. course under Prof. D, P. Allen, presi dent of the Whitten Normal echool, at Lumberton, N. C, He’ afterwards entered Howard University, Washing ton, D. C., graduating from’ the eclec tie ‘department of that institution in the class of 1877. While taking an academic course he read law, which reading he completed under Judge ‘William J. Clarke of North Carolina. He was licensed to practice in all of the courts of his state by the st preme court in 1879. For a time afterwards, Mr. White served as principal of one of the state normal schools and taught in other institutions, meanwhile perfecting himself in ‘his profession. So favor- ably did his abilites impress the peo- ple that in 1880 he was elected to the North Carolina house of representa. tives. In 1884 he was sent to the state senate, In 1886 he was chosen solicitor and prosecuting attorney for the second judicial district of North Carolina for a term of four years, and for a like term in 1890. ‘Mr. White's unselfish ‘disposition was vividly shown in 1894, when, after having been enthusiastically nomin- ated by his following for congress, he withdrew in the interest of harmony in bis party. He was too good a man to lose, however, and in 1896 he was elected to the Fifty-fitth Congress, re- versing a heavy democratic majority that bad won two years previously. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Con- gress in 1898, He represeated the sec- ond North Carolina district. During Mr. White's four years in the national house he was one of the most conspicuous figures, partly by reason of the beneficial measures ad- ‘yorated by him and his keenness in debate; partly from the fact that he ‘was the only bronze face that appear ed in elther branch of the two con greases. That Mr. White served ably And conscientiously is attested by the record and by the universal esteem in which he is now held by his fellow citizens all over the land. He served the largest constituency of any single member, representing the ten milllior colored people of America. Ho was s useful legislator and was active in promoting the Home for Aged Ne ‘groes, to establish a colored batters of artilery, and was especially valu dle in assisting the McKinley admin istration to solve the problems dur {ng and growing out of the Spanish ‘American war. At the close of hit term he delivered a valeaictory which for convincing logic, dramatic intens! ty, pathos of appeal, array of histori ‘eal facts, optumism of belief in hie race and force of presentation, hai never been excelled in this countr; by any man, white or black. ‘Mr, White was immensely populai with ‘his home people in North Caro lina, In 1896 ho was state delegate atlarge to the national republicar convention at St, Louis and voted fo the nomination of Major McKinley In 1900 he went as delegate tc Philadelphia from his district anc again supported Mr. McKinley.

When he grew up he wandered away from his native country, was taken captive by the Turks, and made a slave in one of the Barbary states. But he never forgot the songs of Zion, although he sung them in a strange land and to heathen ear. One night he was solacing himself in this manner, when the attention of some sailors on board of an English man-of-war was directed to the familiar turtle, "Old Hundred," as it came floating over the moonlit waves. At once they surmised the truth that one of their countrymen was languishing his life as a captive. Quickly arming themselves, they manned a boat, and lost no time in effecting his release. What a joy to him, after eighteen long years passed in slavery. Presents for Sultan of Morocco. J. W. S. Langerman, Morocco's commissioner to the world's fair, has just bought the Moorish sultan a brace of mules, a number of Angora cats and goats, some fancy dogs and a pacer and a span of fine carriage horses, all of Missouri breeding. The carriages horses were Buff and Blue, well-known ribbon winners and they cost the sultan $2,000. M. B.

He says that we are at peace with all nations. It was a ‘well-written message and should ‘be read. COLORED LECTURERS. ‘This winter our city has been favored with the opportunity to hear some colored lecturers and will have the opportunity of hear- ing more. Of the three already heard there has been but one real lecturer or orator, and that was Prof. H. T. Kealing of Philadel- phia. He is one of the best thinkers and renown orators be- fore the public to-day, from a literary standpoint. Mayfield’s paper is unclassified. The- dis- tinguished scholar and languist, Prof. DuBois, who gave his lec- ture here last week, was poorly delivered, having to read it as an essay and the effect was not so good as it would have otherwise been. He is undoubtly a pro- found scholar and great thinker, but his delivery is not yp to the standard, The next: lecture of note will be next Monday evening by Rev, Geo. V, Clark, D. D. LL, D,, of Charleston, S. C., a Con- gregational minister who has lectured all over the country, and is amuch older and experienced man than any that have yet ap- peared here. —— AGE OF IRON AND STEEL. ‘The Scientific American has isqued another special number, this'time devoted to the Iron and and Steel industry of the United States. ‘Technically considered, the number is one of the best of ‘the special issues which have so far been prepared by the Scienti- fic American, Each article bears the stamp of absolute certainty of fact—a certainty gained by a personal examination of each of the plants described.

Gray horses are here to be exclusively used by the artillery in the Russian army. The reason given is that animals of this color are stronger than enduring than brown or black ones. How's This? An electric "whip" has been invented by J. A. Giles, a rural mail carrier in Georgia. It consists of small copper plates, let into each side of the horse's collar. From these a wire stretches from the horse to the wagon itself, where there is a small battery. All that is required to set the horse in motion is the pressure of a button. The Rev. Howard B. Bard, of Lansing, Mich., in a recent address, said: "I do not encourage smoking, but if your son, brother or husband does smoke, don't let him go to places where the whole atmosphere is full of smoke, let him smoke, let where there is no danger of being ruined. Therefore, provide a smoking-room in your church." Well Remembered. Valley City, N. Dak., Dec. 14.—Two years ago Mrs. Mattida M. Boucher of this place suffered a great deal with a dizziness in her head. She was cured of this by a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and has not been troubled since. Shortly afterwards she had a bad bilious attack, and for this she used Diamond Dinner Pills and was completely ill in January 1808, she had an attack of Scalatica, of which she says: "I was almost helpless with the Scalatica, but remembering what Dodd's Kidney Pills and Diamond Dinner Pills had done for me before, I commenced a treatment of these medicines and in three weeks I was completely restored to health. I have great faith in these medicines, for they have been of so much benefit to me." Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popular in Barnes County, having made a great many splendid medicines of Rheumatoid Kidney Disease. Many families use no other medicine.

The city of Marshallton is planning to begin suit for more than $10,000 against the county for money spent in maintaining roads and streets within the city limits. It is claimed by the city that inasmuch as the city pays road taxes to the county the county also payed taxes to the city roads. This the county has refused to do, however. The result of the suit is awaited with much interest. Alleging that the carelessness of the railroad company was responsible for an attack of pneumonia, contracted November 16 while sitting for four hours in a cold depot at Sedon, Mr. Enunice Hendon of Moulton, has brought suit against the C., B. & C for $2,000. He might have brought a debt from Moulton to Centerville, and because the K. & W train was late was compelled to wait W. T. Wood, a Dos Molines grocer, has commenced action in the district court against the Retail Grovers' association for $10,000. He alleges malpractice in the Retail Grovers' association caused the arrest of Wood a number of times for an alleged violation of the Sunday laws. In his original notice he declares that he was acquitted each time and that he has been in the nature of a persecution. Harry Mayme, cashier of the Farmers' and Merchants' bank at Linn Grove, shot himself through the heart while in bed at his home. It was not the wife or five children. The bank is in bad shape and it is believed Mayme has been speculating on the board of trade. The institution is private. It was not controlled by the First National of Storm Lake. The bank is closed. Fire, the origin of which is not exactly known, threatened for a time a few days ago to consume the residence of Commandant C. C. Horton, at the Soldiers' Home. By the aid of home fire depot, a fire brigade was extinguished before any great headway had been gained, although the upper story of the house was badly soaked with water. The extent of the dam was to be learned, but was estimated to be less than $300, mostly due to water. Three small children of August Batten, a farmer near New Albany, Amakame county, were burned to death a few nights ago in a fire which destroyed the home while the parents were in bed when the fire broke out, but only the two oldest, a cripple girl aged eleven and a boy aged nine years, were able to make their escape. The oldest boy helped his sister out of the house and returned to the house to get the three younger, but the room in which they were all ablaze, the heat and flames driving him back. He was badly burned. The parents knew of the holocaust until their return. W. L. Moore, street commissioner of Cedar Rapids, was indicted by the Linn county grand jury for embezzlement, the grand jury finding that for a period of several months he drew the pay of one William Martin, when no such man existed. Several witnesses testified that there was no pay for him. He was "straw man." The investigation was instigated by Alderman Hughes of the First ward. Several months ago he preferred charges in open council meeting. A "Loxow" committee was appointed and it exonerated Moore. Alderman Hughes then laid the manslaughter charges against his friends say the streets and walks committee of the council knew what he was doing. To heal her broken heart, caused by the failure of her sweetheart to fulfill his promise of marriage to her, Miss Blanche E. Campbell, daughter of George C. Campbell, a traveling man, was awarded a judgment of $10,000 for her service to City, the defendant in the case being George J. Staley of Beloit, WI., a young contractor who spent several months in Sloux City in 1901. Endearing letters in which Staley referred to Miss Campbell as his "dear, little sister" were sent to City, so the final letter in which he said he had changed his mind about getting married. Staley tried to settle the suit for $500 and, failing, he defaulted and permitted judgment to be entered against him. The suit was dismissed as an unpaid on behalf that sum. The wedding day set was June 7, 1902. The Garden City bank, owned by R. B. Ballard, son of H. D. Ballard of Webster City, and A. N. Drake of radcliffe, was looted by robbers a few nights ago. The safe was blown open and about $500 cash was secured, the robbers were seen second expedition and crack the safe so that the robbers could get at the contents. The whole front of the safe was torn off and the bank counter was badly wrecked. The robbers were seen second expedition and just across the street. He was awakened by the first explosion. He arose, looked out of the window and saw two men standing in front of the bank building. He wondered what they were doing when the man did not raise an alarm at once. Shortly after, however, the town was aroused and the owners of the bank, at Radcliffe, were notified. The man did not raise an alarm as it was able to notify the surrounding towns. Watch was kept at the various depots in the hope that the robbers would board a train at one of the not-far distant towns. No suspicious charm was detected on the trains at any of the surrounding towns. The Marshaltown bigamist who married Emma Mitchell in Webster City last July, was sentenced to four years in the state penitentiary by Judge Whitaker. A long petition from Marshaltown people was presented to John Williams, a well to do young man of Salem, was accidentally shot to death by a companion, William Bates, while out hunting. A load of bird shot entered his abdomen, frightfully tearing his body. He stated that he was the victim cent of any wrong intent. He leaves a widow and small family. Gustav Lund, whom Henry Hold shot through a door at 1 o'clock a.m. while the wife was trying to break down a door in Mr. Held's house at 1 o'clock a.m. When the coroner's jury returned a verdict completely exonerating Mr. Held, declaring that he was justified in firing the shot and acquitting him of all blame for the death of his son, proved by all of the people of the city. Lund was drunk and it is believed he was looking for his boarding house. August Luith, the young German was shot and killed, where he was held on a kidnapping charge, was caught at Davenport. Alleging that the carelessness of the railroad company was responsible for an attack of pneumonia, contracted November 16 while sitting for four hours in a cold depot at Sodan, Mrs. B. W. train was brought suit against the B. C. & Q. for $2,000. In her petition she says she bought a ticket from Moulton to Centerville, and because the K. & W. train was late was compelled to wait. Mrs. B. W. train was issued a case and says she was refunded and not treated properly. Fire at. Nora Springs destroyed the store building and entire stock of the Galbreth company, the loss being $10,000. The fire originated from the store in the store and was not discovered until the flames had found their way through the roof, and by that time the fire had been extinguished that it was impossible to save any of the stock or the building. The firemen centralized their efforts toward saving the Abendroth meat market and City bank, close by the meat market, being not more than six feet from the fire, and lost all or most of its goods and building will be $10,000; insured for about half that amount. There is no longer any doubt that young Robson, whose body was found in a potato patch near Exira, where it had laded for nearly four weeks, was murdered. The coroner's examination of his remains disclosed the fact that he was a victim of a large fracture that the lad had been struck by some heavy weapon. The sutures of the parietal and occipital bones were fractured two inches or more in length. The large fracture that in itself could have caused death. It is doubted by local officials, however, whether anything will ever be disclosed as to the cause of the fracture. Those who are at work on the case have their suspicions, but so long a time elapsed before the boy's body was found that it will be difficult to get definite evidence to establish suspicions sufficiently to justify prosecution. Rev. George Giglinger, the young priest who is managing Bishop Cosgrove's crusade against immortality in Davenport, gave further evidence—a few nights ago that he is in earnest, by filing injunction suits against six more saloons. One of those suits was run by Louis Martin, brother of Henry Martin, Davenport's chief of police. Two are notorious negro resorts where white men are regularly enticed by saloons. George Giglinger is the busiest man in Davenport. Representatives of the brewing and saloon interests are seeking him out in a continual stream, and written guarantees have been given him by saloons. By saloons and low resorts will be run in strict accordance with the Iowa laws, if he will only call off his dogs of war. He declares that any saloon that is not cooperated than midnight, will be enjoined and permanently closed. A suit for $16,000 was filed in the district court at Court Bluffs against H. I. Forsey, the president of the Union Transfer company, by the Union Transfer company, that concern alleging that during the last five years Mr. Forsey has overdrawn his salary, misappropriated funds used for outside business, that he has used the company's telephone for private business, and that at last he destroyed the books of the company so that there is no means of the members of the company standing. Mr. Forsey states that he has not been connected with the company for six or seven years, and that he has not been guilty of any of the allegations set forth. He makes a general denial. The Union Transfer company concerns doing business in Council Bluffs, and Mr. Forsey is considered one of the leaders in the business in the Missouri valley. The case promises to attract wide attention, as the parties to the suit are entitled and will sight to the last ditch. The coroner of Worth county went to Hanktonton to investigate into the cause of the death of George Louge, a barber, who located in Hanktonton two months ago, moving from Mason City. Louge's shop was upstairs. He had some trouble and that night about 11:20 o'clock, as some boys were passing by the side of his building, he was discovered lying unconscious on the ground. Louge was carried into his shop and a physician summoned. Upon examination his skull was found to crushed. He was found lying and lying along till 1 o'clock p. m., when he died without regaining consciousness. The window above where Louge was found was broken, but it wound have been impossible for him to have fallen and injured, and later examining the evidence, decided that Louge was murdered. Martin Wescott was arrested and confessed that he had quarreled with Louge. He said he struck him over the head with a beer bottle in a bottle of wine, and through the window. Wescott was taken to Northwood and held to the grand jury. A destructive fire broke out at 3:45 a. m. in the Mack-Easton building, on Main street at Manson, and occupied by A. H. Restloff, jewelry, bookseller and music instrument dealer. Restloff had just received an invoice of $1,000 from the building from one of the chimneys. The loss to Restloff is $6,000, with $3,000 insurance. The building was of frame and was worth $2,000. The Hotel Long was damaged to the amount of $600. The postoffice was also damaged. $1,000 in company did good work and saved the town from a much larger loss. Fire at Whiting destroyed nearly all the business portion of that town. The loss was about $45,000, well covered by insurance. The damage was caused by Casady & Whiting's general store. The fire engine failed to work and the games spread rapidly to adjoining buildings. The two story business block of Casady and Whiting was also the home store, the Whiting bank, a lodge hall, and an opera house, was completely destroyed, as was also the clothing store of Casady & Whiting. Baxter's store was one of the heaviest losers is Representativg W. C. Whiting. ADMIRAL SCHLEY ENDORSES PE=RU=NA. Pe-ru-na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen: "I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Pe-ru-na and I believe with good effect." W. S. SCHLEY.—Washington, D. C. ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. opposition and has won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified and public endorse- Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. The fact is that Peruna has overcome all Ask Your Druggist for free Pe-ru-na Almanac for 1904.
