Last Wednesday evening Wesley Moore, one of our oldest citizens, was thrown from his wagon and severely hurt inwardly, but is getting along as well as could be expected. He was gathering some mown grass and had got on the wagon to tramp it still when the flies being bad, caused his hose to move, and the jerk threw Mr Moore backward out of the wagon on his head and right shoulder. It is the biggest wonder in the world that his neck was not broken; but no bones were broken at all. He is past 80 years of age and it will be a wonder if he fully recovers from this fall. Mose Hall of Weilman was in the city Saturday assisting F. D. Motts in the barber shop, as it was circus day.

Russell Sage was an intimate friend of Jay Gould for many years. The two men had much in common, though there were striking differences. Gould, dying comparatively young, left his fortune to his family, and one of his children, a woman alone in the world in the sense that she never married, began at once to redeem the name of Gould from the taint of avarice. Sage, at the end of a long life, has given all he possessed to his widow, and she, in her old age, is confidently expected to emulate and surpass the charities and philanthropies of Helen Gould. Probably Mrs. Sage will do all that is expected of her, says the Cleveland Leader. She has long been admired for her piety and kindness of heart, and her interest in all that makes for the uplifting of the poor and unfortunate. She is a good woman, in the highest sense of that term. All that has been said and felt regarding Russell Sage's indifference to interests outside of and above business and money-getting will doubtless accentuate his widow's desire to brighten his name. She will wish to grace his memory by great services to humanity, rendered by means of his wealth. She can be trusted to redeem him, in so far as she may be able to do so, from the unfriendly criticism excited by his absorption in the accumulation of riches. It is an old story. The history of nations is full of striking instances of the efforts of women to stone for the errors or shortcomings of men near and dear to them. They have redeemed a multitude of men while living, and brightened and lightened the memory of many more after death. The Postal Business. The postal business of a country, especially our own, is a fair indication of general prosperity or the reverse. Some figures made public by the post office department are of particular interest as bearing upon this proposition. These returns furnish the basis on which post office salaries are adjusted at the beginning of a new fiscal year, and it is seen that the people as a whole were never more prosperous. The first, second and third class offices, which are included in this arrangement, number 5,651, and of these the revenues of 2,670, or 47 per cent, justify increases which range from $100 to $120 per year, in only 309 offices has there been a decrease in receipts. That is, this year there has been a net increase in 42 per cent of the offices. Last year the gross increase was 33 per cent, and the net increase 24 per cent. The aggregate increase in salaries in offices of the classes mentioned was $230,100, while in addition there was an increase of $65,200 in offices raised to the presidential class, an aggregate of $295,800 increase, offset by only $37,100 decrease. The prosperity indicated by the figures is fairly well distributed, says the Troy Times, but it is to be noted that the south and south west get a little larger share proportionately than some other regions. That is in keeping with the story of the development of those sections. The Arab's Mission Our present throughbred is a living witness of the Arab's capability as a founder and creator of racers. Himself a natural raceer, bred through centuries for running rather than draft, bred also for speed and stay, the Arab possesses every gift and qualification, courage,迪迪, temper, endurance, action, determination. If he cannot go with the fliers of the course, bred and trained solely for speed, neither can he be called slow. He has run two miles, with derby weight up, in three minutes and 48 seconds, yet on the course he keeps nearly to his normal speed. Long or short, his race is run true from end to end; moreover, so excellent are his temper and constitution that he stands training for years and years, and has been known to win races in his teens. In the point of endurance, says County Life in America, no other horse is worthy to be named with him. Under the trying Indian sun, the two little Arabs, Honey-suckle and Greylie, were matched for two-mile heats, best three in five. It took seven heats to decide the match, and three of them were dead heats. Fancy such questions being asked of our thoroughbreds—even the best. A curious survival of an old law appeared in France recently when a woman who had taken a couple of buckets of water out of the sea at Bologne was threatened with a fine by the customs officials for having violated an enactment of Louis XIV. The old law forbade the taking of sea water lest those taking it should extract the salt and so defraud the revenues of the salt tax, and the woman was compelled to show that she merely intended to give her little boy a salt water bath. Maharajah Gaekwar, of Baroda, doesn't think American women are beautiful. What chance did the poor fellow have to find out with the maharani hanging on to his coattails during his entire visit? Perhaps his remark was only Oriental deference to his wife. Shipments of silver from London to India, from January 1 to June 14, show a heavy increase over the like period in 1905. The figure for this year is $43,319.55, being $22,928.71 in gross of last year's figure. CAPTURE CUBAN CITY REBEL BANDS ATTACK TOWN IN PINAR DAL RIO PROVINCE. Commander of Rural Guard Says He Has Enough Men to Suppress the Rebellious Elements Now on the island. Havana. — The insurgents in the province of Pinar Del Río captured their first town there Wednesday. At the bank in the morning the force led by Pino Guerra, an ex-congressman and an influential man, who was thought to be many miles eastward, and sundry other insurgent bands attacked San Luis, which is situated on the railroad, about ten miles west of Pinar Del Río City. A sharp and decisive engagement followed during which a number of men were killed or wounded. The town was defended by less than 100 rural guards, 50 of whom surrendered-to the insurgents and are held as prisoners. The insurgent forces are in possession of the railroad station and of the town, which is resuming its normal condition. By the capture of San Luis, which has about 10,000 inhabitants, the insurgents have obtained an important base for future operations. Gen. Rodriguez, commander of the rural guard Wednesday, after relating the incidents of the day, said: "You can tell the American people that Cuba is entirely competent to cope with the insurrection. The flood of rumors in all directions about the organization of insurrectionary bands in great numbers are not borne out by our reports, or so far as can be learned, by the facts. "The much talked of movement in Santa Clara province has not been encountered, and no insurrectionists have been seen there by our troops. "We have to-day equipped and sent out in various directions 300 volunteers under competent officers. We have plenty of rifles and ammunition for all who resist at present and more all ordered from the United States. We believe the loyal people are taking up arms for the government faster than the insurgents are increasing." A gentleman who was returned from Aguacate, where he spent several days, stated that as many as 500 men most of them armed were riding about the vicinity proclaiming insurrectionary ideas. The principal event Wednesday was the fighting at San Luis. The reports of the commanders of the rural guard are to the following effect: The bands of Guerra, Oro and others aggregating about 400 men, concentrated Wednesday morning in the vicinity of San Luis. Several rural guards under command of Maj. Laurent, were to attack the insurgents from the east and 30 men under Lieutenant Azucen, were at attack the insurgents from the west and first got into an ill-timed engagement with a far superior detachment with the result that he was forced to retreat hastily to San Luis, pursued by a portion of the army. The rural guards took refuge in their quarters, and Guerra's men remained in position of the town. In the afternoon Ma. Laurent had a hot fight with the insurgents under Guerra and other insurgent commanders, and reports that several were killed or wounded. He pursued Guerra, but so far as known, the insurgents had been to contact to other fragmentary reports the insurgents continue in possession of San Luis. Railway trains have not been interfered with. An attempt is being made with 200 mounted rural guards and regulars to corner Quentin Bandera, who with 150 men, is continuing his dodging tactics in the wester npart of the province of Havana. Three large bands of insurgents are out in the province of Santa Clara The insurrection appears to be growing, but the loyalists to the towns claim that they will be able to resist the movement. Hold up Men Fail in Purpose Duluth, Minn.—An unsuccessful attempt was made to hold up a gang of lanes on the Northern Pacific train which left Duluth at eight o'clock Tuesday night. Before the train reached Brainerd two men drew revolvers and attempted to make the lanes give up their money. They were attacked by Conductor O'Brien, who was assisted by some of the passengers. Death of Hanna's Brother-in-Law. Cleveland, O.—Jay C. Morse, at one time president of the Illinois Steel company and brother-in-law of the late Senator M. A. Hanna, died here Wednesday of a complication of diseases. Mr. Morse was associated with the late Col. C. M. Pickands in an immense iron ore and coal business, and he amassed a large fortune.

SULLIVAN IS VINDICATED ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO OUST COMMITTEEMAN. Nebraska Man Endorsed for the Presidency—State Ticket Named by Convention. Peoria, Ill. — William Jennings Bryan indorsed as the democratic nominee for president in 1908, and Roger C. Sullivan, of Chicago, vindicated the demand for his resignation as national committeeman made by Mr. Bryan from Europe voted down by 1,058 delegates to 570, was the outcome of one of the hardest politica, battles ever fought in the state Tuesday. From start to finish Sullivan and his cohorts completely dominated the state convention. From the election cf ex-Justice Boggs as chairman to the defeat of the resolutions condemning Mr. Sullivan there was a moment of doubt as to who controlled the gathering. Incidental in its importance was the nomination of a state of state officers. These nominations were made just preceding the Bryan-Sullivan fight and were as follows: For state treasurer—N. L. Piotrowski. For superintendent of public instruction—Caroline Grote. For trustees state university—D. R. Cameron, J. S. Cuneo, C. D. Bourland. The feature of the platform that almost ended in a riot was the indorsement of Bryan in these words: "For president of the United States in 1908 the Democrats of Illinois, first and last, have but one choice, and that man is William Jennings Bryan." This precipitated the one big row of the convention. The principal feature of the platform was the indorsement of William J. Bryan for president, in the face of the Nebraskan's protest that he opposed such indorsement unless Sullivan was pusted as national committeeman. FLAMES SWEEP MESABA RANGE Millions of Dollars' Worth of Property in Danger of Destruction. Duluth.-Lack of wind is the only condition that prevents terrific spreading of the forest fires on the Mesaba and Vermilion ranges. The Mesaba is a veritable furnace as a result of the flames devastating the parched ground. Millions of dollars' worth of property, including towns and mines, is in peril, and all depends on the direction and force of the wind. People at various points are "backfire" to prevent the encroachment of the fires upon towns or mining properties. The towns are lower towns, or those about which the brush and forest still stand. Fear is also felt for many of the home steaders north of the Mesaba range. There are hundreds of these. The Mesaba and Vermilion ranges are covered with a pall of smoke. Workmen Are Killed. Charlotte, Mich.-Three Italian laborers are dead, two are dying, and 15 more are lying injured in the Charlotte house here as the result of an accident on the Michigan Central railroad two miles east of here.

Chicago Packers Confer with Federal Officials at Washington. Washington — Representatives of the meat packing interests, principally of Chicago, were in conference Monday with Acting Secretary Hays, Dr. Wley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, and Dr. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry of the agricultural department, who are instructed to for their products, which they will have to use under the meat inspection law and pure food law. Both the meat inspection and pure food laws provide for the use of labels on articles which come under these acts. The manufacturers desire to make their labels fill the requirements of both laws. The meat inspection law will go into effect so as the manufacturer can comply with the 1st of October, while the pure food law will not be effective until the 1st of next January. It was discovered at the conference that the labels heretofore in use by the packers would have to be changed materially. The changes involve the consideration of a great mass of details, all of which had to be gone over at the conference. It was the opinion of the packers that they would be able to prepare their labels by another the meat inspection and the pure food laws, thus avoiding the difficulty of getting out two sets of labels. TAFT WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT Secretary of War to Decline Place on Supreme Bench. Washington—William H. Taft, secretary of war, will formally communicate to the president in a short time that he does not desire the honor of an appointment to the supreme court bench. He will send notice in time for the president to make a selection of the supreme court opens in October. Mr. Taft's indorsement for the presidency by the Ohio Republican state convention is practically assured. He has been considered one of the most prominent possibilities by Ohio Republicans, and in view of Speaker Cannon's reiterated declarations that he would not be known as a candidate, the secretary of state's decision is considered most significant at this time. The Ohio Republicans have been quietly booming the Mafft for the presidency for months. By every possible method they have been advancing his cause, even going so far, it is understood, as to solicit a public expression of his views, and to subject the subject of his suspicion. Mr. Mafft has fought ay of the subject, but the latest development places him more conspicuously before the public. Seven Killed In Wreck. Johnstown, Pa.—Plunging through a blinding rainstorm at the rate of 45 miles an hour early Sunday, a fast freight train on the Pennsylvania railroad crashed into a slowly moving work train.

Iowa people are fortunate in having opportunity to attend such an exposition annually with least expenditure (time and money). The spacious park area of the department of Agriculture, beautifulized by nearly 20 years of systematic cultivation, covered with a hundred great buildings especially for the use of the State fair, will be for one week the largest gift activity in the past few years from the 174,000 expended in permanent improvements in the fair grounds and this year $25,000 is being, thus used. It is expected that the attendance this year will be not less than 200,000. Every year has been done that is possible for the fair grounds and pleasure of these visitors who come mainly from the farms of the farms of the state. The transportation to the grounds is best and cheapest, there is a fine camping ground, there is a reed building and in case of illness there is a hospital on the ground. The live stock show is the heart of this great fair. With upwards of 400 horses, 800 head of cattle, 3000 hogs and sheep and poultry in proportion. The fair is a great place for American breeders can produce, the lovers of fine stock will have a feast. In all the other departments that go to make up a complete State Fair this one is nearly perfect. It will be built and implement show will take up 20 acres of space and everything that is new and valuable will be seen there. The speed program includes five days of excellent races for good purses and horses. The horses of the country will be on hand. One of the great features of the fair will be the sensational flight of the famous Knabensbaen Alrship, which on Monday, Aug. 27 will make a start and going at a height of over 500 feet will make the trip to the city, enclricting the dome of the state house on the way, then returning. This Alrship will give daily exhibitions. It will be the first ever seen in Iowa. If it the only successful alrship outside of France. The music for the State Fair will be the finest possible. Liberati with his great concert band and soloists will furnish the leading music and give six rehearsals daily. N. G. of Fort Dodge has also been engaged, and an orchestra for the pavilion. A soldiers' reunion will be held on Old Soldier's day, August 28, on which the veterans of the Rebellion will give or receive or be admitted for a fee in be in charge of the G. A. R. department of Iowa. In the matter of amusements there has been secured for the State Fair the finest line of high class and clean vauduelle ever seen at any state fair. This includes the forming of the Allison troupe of acrobats, the Pickards in aerial bar performing, Castelane and Volo in the "Double cap of Death," the Buckeye trio in comedy work, the famous Pekin zonaves, and other features. Each of the great evening entertainments has a splendid exhibition of fireworks. The fair opens August 24. On the Sunday following Liberati will give the opening concert and the exhibits will be opened for visitors Monday August 27. A deep-yellow, with a shot of flameen in its lights and shades, is the latest fashable color. It is known as "Vesuvius." The "sneezeeland-tie" is one of the cities of South Africa. No one can cut it off a saw without sneezing, as the fine dust is very irritating. Even planning the wood will sometimes cause sneezing. No necest or worm will touch it; it is very bitter to the taste, and when placed in water stinks. Arsenic in Leavenworth, Kansas, is evidently a brain enthusiast as well as a believer in timely advertising. On the scoreboard of last Sunday's baseball-game appeared this notice: "If you are a fan, go to the Presbyterian Church tonight and hear the presbyterian Church Elwood line out a few hot lines." Heavy rainfalls come frequently in Canton, China, and the people prayed to Joss in their temple to let up a little in the torrents. As the rain still continued, Clerocy Shlm ordered that the temple should be unroofted, so that Joss would get his share of the rain. He kept the temple, and a little later the rain ceased. A bogus musical instrument manufactory flourishes in Boston. It is made outwardly exact reproductions of corns and other wind instruments, but which are sold much cheaper, since their use is merely to pad out big bands with men who cannot play. They are, therefore, not supposed to need reeds. One band is said to have one-fourth of its members dummy players. Marshal Oyama is an extremely modest soldier. In his parting address to his officers, on the disbandment of the Manchurian army, he said: "That I, in spite of my defective ability, have been enabled to avoid any signal failure must be pre-arrived by corned officers of the fidelity of officers and soldiers under my command." Surely modestly could go no further. German is nowadays spoken by about seventy-five million people. It thus ranks third in number among the four leading languages of Europe, the first being English, the second Russian, and the fourth French. Before the earthquake saloon licenses in San Francisco were eighty-four dollars a year, and there were about four hundred drinking-places in the most crowded areas to groceries. The license has now been fixed at five hundred dollars a year, and grocery annexes for the diffusion of alcoholic stimulants will not be permitted. Nine-tenths of the full output of one large cotton-mill in Augusta, Georgia, is now going regularly to Turkey, just because the mill sent over a live sales agent with the right payment. Payments are by sight drafts on London, with bill of lading attached. There is no building material so durable as well-made bricks. In the British Museum are bricks from the ancient civilization which show no sign of decay or disintegration, although the ancients did not burn or bake them, but dried them PRESIDENT ASKED TO END REVOLT ONE WORD WILL BE ENOUGH Letter Already Drafted and Awails Signatures—Insurgent Leader is Killed—Meets Death at Hands of the Rurales. New York, Aug. 24.—The Tribune says: President Roosevelt is to be appealed to by local Cuban Americans and Americans with commercial interests in Cuba to use his influence to end the strife there, before these interests are interfered with, as it is feared they will be. One word from the president, assert the men who are behind the movement, will suffice to end theurling. Colonel Carlos Maguire, a veteran of the last revolution in Cuba, has drafted a letter to President Roosevelt which he will forward after he has obtained the signatures of several senators. He is calling for islands. The letter calls attention to many wrongs alleged to have been suffered by the librarians and which are declared responsible for the uprising. It calls on President Roosevelt to appoint by authority of the President a private at a new election for president in Cuba, charging that at the last election the constitution was violated. BANDERA IS KILLED. Noted Insurgent Leader Is Cut Down by Machetes. Havana, Aug. 24.—The body of the most daring insurgent in Havana province, lies in the morgue at Havana flanked by those of two mulatto comrades, all frightfully gashed by the guards, who ended their career. Across the street in Neptune park, a great crowd, mostly negro friends of Bandera, are watching the morgue with silent interest. The arrival of Bandera's body here was the first news of the fight, which a large crowd of militants occurred at the Silveira farm near Punta Brava, fifteen miles from Havana. A detachment of thirty-eight mounted rural guards, under Capt. Ingolde Delgale and Lieutenant Martinez were searching throughout the night for a day morning the guards were breaking through a wire fence at the edge of the Silveira form when they were suddenly fired upon by Bandera's followers, twenty in number. The guards rushed upon the insurgents, but with the exception of the chief and his two guards, they all succeeded in getting away. The guards made the chief and his two companies a special object of attack and all three received several officers, and were horribly mutilated by machete chants. Not one of the guards was wounded. Bandera was about 60 years old. He took part in the ten years' war, as well as in the war for Cuban independence. He was the only person in every province of Cuba, and had great influence with the colored people. When in Havana Bandera was in the habit of gathering crowds of negroes about him and making speeches to the people. On one occasion he went to the senate chamber and delivered a violent speech, criticising the government for not giving him an office. Soon afterwards he was appointed doorkeeper to the senate. The position which Bandera inspired to was that of chief of police. Santiago, Aug. 24—Fernandez Blanco, governor of the province of Valparaiso, has proclaimed the city of Valparaiso in a state of siege and has conferred supreme authority on navy officers in the province, the police of police is charged with the capacity of collecting and distributing food. One of the first acts of the military governor was to issue an order that any persons found breaking water mains should be taken. The water mains are only deleted and repairs are actively progressing. Three streets are lighted by electricity and tonight two more will be lighted. Electric cars are running between Baron station and Becero. The total number of corpses buried up to Aug. 21 was 648. The main postoffice has been reopened. Meat and bread are scarce. The grocers' shops that were not destroyed by the earthquake are now nearly out of stock. Canned meats, sardines, condensed milk and biscuits are much needed. The weather is somewhat cloudy. Sanitary conditions are being established in the encampment and most of the people are light hearted, though four or five shocks of moderate violence have been reported. The Red Cross is caring for thousands. When the house of President-elect Monti collapsed his wife fell from the balcony into the street and bandits who were passing cut off her ears and fingers to rob her of jewelry, one was taken in a dying state on the bank of the warship OHigliens. Among the dead at Valparaiso is Frederico Verella, the famous capitalist and politician.

Transmission of Facial Characteristics It would appear that the transmission of facial traits subordinated to a definite law, that is to say, the central facial expression and appearance are more often than not transmitted through the female members of the family, who generally do not exhibit the same characteristics to the male offspring, and that the male offspring, as a rule, all the facial conditions signs which were present in a remote testor.—North American Review. Pushing Cape to Cairo Line In a report in the London Times it is stated that the Cape to Cairo railway in South Africa has been opened so as to run over the Kafue river on a bridge which stands on 13 spans each 100 feet, with pillars resting on a bed 16 feet under the water. Kafue river is 266 miles north of Victoria Falls, and the distance from Cape Town is 1,908 miles. The railroad, however, is now at Broken Hill, 347 miles beyond the falls, the line having been pushed on while the bridge was building over the Kafue river. Considered the Properties A man in Dallas county tried to chuffle off this mortal soil by haging himself with a blind bridle. His wife sound him suspended from a rafter in the barn. He was wroth at her interposition, saying: "If you had let me alone a few minutes more I would have been in heaven." His wife replied: "Yes, and you would have looked nice running around over heaven with a blind bridle on, wouldn't you?" —Thockmorton (Tex.) Times. Heavy Movement of Iron Grow. The movement of Lake Superior iron ore during the month of June was the heaviest during the history of the trade. Nearly 5,500,000 tons were forwarded to the lower lakes—a gain of almost 500,000 tons over the corresponding period last year. The total movement this season up to the 1st July aggregated 11,241,596 tons, compared with 10,814,054 tons for the same period last year. Small Profits of Pawnshops. Consul General George W.

A Minister Talks About Grape-Nuts. "My first stomach trouble began back in 1895," writes a minister in Nebr., "resulting from hasty eating and eating too much. I found no relief from medicine and grew so bad that all food gave me great distress. "It was that sore, gnawing, hungry feeling in my stomach that was distressing and I became a fake man. Grape-Nuts was recommended as a food that could be easily digested. My friend did that had given me so much trouble, I began to eat Grape-Nuts with a little cream and sugar. The change effected in 24 hours was truly remarkable, and in a few weeks I was back to health again. "My work as a minister calls me away from home a great deal, and recently I drifted back to fat meat and indigestible foods, which put me again on the sick list. "So I went back to Grape-Nuts and cream and in four days I was put right again. The old dull headaches are gone, stomach discomfort, headache and a delight to pursue my studies and work." "Grape-Nuts food is worth more than money to me, and I hope this may induce some sufferer to follow the same course I have." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "I'm a reason."
