THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. $1.50 Per Year in Advance. DBATH FROM A KNIFE. H. G. Doeling Stabbed by Fleetwood Gordon During an Altercation. Tuesday between 12 and 1 o'clock H. G. Doeling, proprietor of the Elite Cafe, was fatally stabbed by Fleetwood Gordon, who had gone into the Cafe to collect a bill. Mr. Doeling after receiving the wounds, fled into the street going east on Broadway, to Tenth street, then returned to the restaurant, where Drs. Thornton and Fisher dressed the wounds. Mr. Gordon after the tragedy, left the Cafe and went as far east on Broadway as Tenth street. He was arrested but released on furnishing bond in the sum of $600. The wounded man bled profusely, grew steadily worse, and died at 10:40 p. m., after having made a dying statement before an officer. Mr. Gordon was re-arrested. Wednesday morning the physicians held a post mortem examination on the second floor of the Orear building, which was followed by the coroner's inquest. The following gentlemen served on the jury: Tom Morris, A. J. Winn, J. A. Helbel, Frank Bihr, Thomas Butcher and A. H. Vandiver. The investigation was conducted by coroner M. P. Parker and H. D. Murry; the latter represented the prosecuting attorney who was absent from the city. Several witnesses testified, the first being Geo. W. Burroughs, who had just finished eating his dinner at the Cafe when the trouble began. He could not tell much about the beginning of the affair, but heard Gordon call Mr. Doeling a d——s——of a b——and the scuffle following; saw a knife in Gordon's right hand as he followed Doeling out into the street. B. J. Brown was in the restaurant at the time of the encounter; heard no words but saw a fight or scuffle between Doeling and some one else. After a few licks passed between them, Mr. Doeling ran out of the door followed by the other man; when Doeling returned to the restaurant, witness saw blood under Doelings shoulder blade, and a rent in shirt. Did not know who began the affray, or who struck first blow. Thought he saw licks passed by both of them. Jas. H. Parker was passing the restaurant in a wagon; saw Doeling rush out of the door, Gordon running after him. Saw nothing in Doeling's hand. Dr. Thornton, when he was called to attend Doeling, saw 3 wounds, 1 between 8th and 9th ribs on left side, another in the back, and one on top of left shoulder, patient complained of pain in stomach and could not lie down at first. At the post-mortem he found the two lower wounds penetrated the inner cavities cutting spleen, intestines, veins and arteries; cavities were filled with blood; wounds appeared 4 or 5 inches deep, and are punctures from a sharp pointed instrument. Dr. J. M. Fisher, who was called to see Mr. Doeling about 12:30 found 3 cuts in the body, one in left side, one between 8th and 9th ribs, and one on top of left shoulder. Witness penetrated the bowel wound about 5 inches; found the spleen split nearly in two, and the intestine cut; wound in the back entered the plural cavity and penetrated lungs about 2 inches. H. M. McKee, who worked in the restaurant, was reading behind counter when Gordon entered, saw him and Doeling approach each other, but did not hear what was said except an oath and the words s—of a b—from Gordon, followed immediately by the scuffle and fight; saw Doeling put hand to his side as he said "he has stabbed me;" saw knife in Gordon's upraised hand as he followed Doeling through the door into the street. Some one called "Fleet, Fleet," and Mr. Doeling cried "murder, murder," and turned to his right into Broadway while his pursuer went on as far as the Water & Light office then disappeared; witness thought blade of knife was 5 inches long. Doeling had nothing in his hands; saw scuffle, but no blows exchanged. Turner Hamilton, who had just finished eating in the restaurant, saw Gordon enter the door and engage Mr. Doeling in conversation. First words he distinguished were, "you s— of a b—,' from Gordon, as they stood about one foot apart. Then the two men came together in a scuffle which lasted about 3 seconds. As Doeling went out at the door he said, "I am stabbed," and witness saw knife in Gordon's hand as he followed Doeling; saw blood on the floor and two cuts on Doeling's person. Could not tell length of blade in knife. Joe Ford, colored, was passing the Cafe in a wagon with Mr. Parker at time of difficulty. Witness saw Mr. Doeling jump out of the door, Gordon following. They ran east to 10th St. and separated, Doeling yelling, "murder." Blade of knife held by Gordon was about 5 inches long. The antemortem statement of Mr. Doeling was then read, as follows: Doeling was then read, as follows: "Hugo George Doeling states upon oath that he believes that the wounds inflicted upon his body with a dagger in the hands of Fleetwood Gordon to be mortal. Mr. Gordon came in to my place of business with a bill from a cigar house for collection and asked me what I intended to do about it. I told him to come in after dinner. He said "you s—b—I won't do it. I will kill you." I struck him with my fist, he then pulled his knife and cut me. I did not have any weapon of any kind. I had nothing in my hand of any kind. H. G. DOELING." The testimony at the inquest was taken down by J. L. Stephens, Jr. The room was then cleared, and the jury after a few moments consultation reported a finding to the effect that H. G. Doeling came to his death from wounds inflicted with a knife in the hands of Fleetwood Gordon. Mr. Parker, coroner, filed a new information in the case, charging Mr. Gordon with murder in the first degree. The preliminary examination has been fixed for Saturday 10 a. m., before Justice Boggs, until which time the prisoner will be in the hands of the sheriff. The deceased man, Mr. Doeling, was about 35 years old, and leaves a wife and one child, Victor. He was a peaceable, good natured man, who has been in the restaurant business here since last summer. He was formerly from Kirksville, but came here from Moberly. The remains were shipped Wednesday to Farmington, Iowa, where the family has near relatives. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen, and carried $3,000 insurance, $2,000 in favor of the wife and $1,000 in favor of the son. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET Superintendent of Public Instruction—J. U.

A select party of about 15 couples was made to take an outing at Brushwood lake last Wednesday. A special train was chartered for the occasion but owing to the rain the outing for the day was declared off and Mathews Hall on Broadway was secured for the evening and the party gathered there and had a most enjoyable time; dancing and whist playing were indulged in till midnight. The young folks are more than thankful to our genial friend J. W. Boone who chaperoned the party and made the affair so exceptionally pleasant and live in hopes that this will not be the last one of its kind. An Alumni Organ.

Very naturally readers of a paper have different tastes. Here is a prosy, sedate brother who has no use for the family page or the young people's department. Not far from him is a spasmodic, hurried men who gets all out of patience when he comes to an article more than six inches long. He judges merit by linear measurement. News from the churches is looked upon by an occasional reader as a sort of dress parade, a department kept up to gratify the vanity of those who like to see their names and achievements in print. Thus it comes about that a publisher cannot hope to put out a paper whose every page will please every reader. It is useless to quarrel about tastes. They are here in great variety and persist in making themselves known. The editor must fill his paper very much as a landlord prepares his table. He hardly expects each guest to begin at the top of the page and eat up the bill of fare item by item. Carefully guarding against offensive or poisonous foods he selects a wide variety to meet the whims or tastes of all. When you register on his book and sit down to the table you hardly consider that you have put yourself under necessity of eating a good portion from every dish available. Perhaps also there are articles in the paper you do not greatly admire; perhaps another reader is passionately fond of the very column you skip. Granting that his taste is not what it ought to be, let us allow him at least one column of reading stuff to his fancy, while we pass on to something we like better. He must have a chance, a taste, a morsel that will be sweet to him. These are some of the considerations which make it necessary to put into a family paper a wide variety of reading matter.—Central Baptist. Rode the Goat. Rev. A. A. Adams pastor of the second Baptist church and Rufus L. Logan editor of this paper were permitted to ride into the mysteries of pythianism last Tuesday evening. The goat which had evidently been fed on Cayenne pepper, was a very difficult one to ride, but by the aid of Sir knights Boone, Perry, Williams, Turner, Lampkin, and others, the gentlemen rode safely into the sacred fellowship of Damon and Pythias and are now full-fledged knights. The lodge is under many obligations to the gentleman whose goat they used. Teachers Institute. The annual Teachers Institute will be opened here Monday August 4th it will be conducted by Prof. J. W. Damel of Jefferson City. A large attendance is expected; the citizens of Columbia should open their homes to the visitors and make their stay here a pleasant one. DOING A GOOD BUSINESS The Columbia Grocery Co. is doing a good business, and indications are that the venture will be a successful one; there is no reason why that it should not be. The store is in charge of Mr. W. W. Lampkin who has had 15 years experience as a groceryman and enjoys the confidence of the entire community. Committed Suicide. James Campbell son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Campbell of this city, committed suicide in St. Louis last Sunday morning by drinking carbolic acid. He was 29 years of age, was a volunteer in the Spanish American war. No cause is assigned for the act. His remains were brought here Tuesday and buried Tuesday afternoon. Springfield, Ill., July 7.—Gov. Yates will at once communicate with the inmates of the Eldorado normal and industrial institute, who recently left Eldorado in fear of mob violence, and invite them to return to Eldorado, assuring them that they shall have the most ample protection which the state of Illinois can afford them. Last week the governor addressed a letter to Sheriff Barter, of Saline county, censuring him severely for having failed to furnish proper protection for the colored people connected with the industrial institute and for advising them to leave the place. In the course of the letter he suggested to the sheriff that he locate all the parties whom he had advised to leave and urge them to return, guaranteeing them full immunity from further disturbance. "If you do not do so, I will," wrote the governor; "and if you do not employ all necessary force to see that they are not disturbed, I will consider it my duty to do so at once." The governor is in receipt of a letter from J. D. Alston, president of the industrial institute at Eldorado, under date of July 1, confirming the reports of violence against the inmates of the institution. The letter is written from Metropolis, Ill. The letter states that there have been acts of violence against the colored people of Eldorado for four or five months. Prof. Alston corrects a misstatement which has gotton into the newspapers regarding the residence of the students. He says that they were not from Kentucky, as reported, but all lived in Illinois. He states that the mob violence on May 29 prevented the contemplated sale of the property. He and his wife are now at Metropolis, having left Eldorado because they felt that their lives were in danger. He states that it is the intention of the trustees to re-establish the school elsewhere. PROMISE OF PROTECTION. Gov. Yates this afternoon addressed the following letter to President Alston, of the Eldorado normal and industrial institute: Springfield, Ill., July 7, 1902.—Mr. Jefferson D. Alston Eldorado Normal Industrial Institute, Metropolis, Ill.: My Dear Sir—I am in receipt of your favor of the 1st inst., in which you say that you are now at Metropolis because your wife desires to get away from a place that would endanger her or your life, and in which you further state that you owe $500 upon the Eldorado property, which could have been paid if you had been allowed to close the school and at the close of which you state that the trustees have agreed to re-establish the school elsewhere, and inquire whether I have any suggestions to make. In reply I will say that I suggest that you return to Eldorado and open your school at the proper time, exactly as if no disturbance had occurred, with the assurance from me that I will furnish you by telegraph all such force as may be necessary to protect you and all inmates of the school from any disturbance of any kind whatsoever. I note your statement that the inmates of your school lived in this state, being for the most part, old residents and that they were not students from Kentucky. Very truly yours, RICHARD YATES.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, O.

At the city hall Tuesday afternoon a meeting of business men was held to hear and consider a proposition for a railroad, which as contemplated, is to be projected from Brookfield Mo., through the counties of Linn, Chariton, Howard, Boone, Callaway, and on to the M. K. & T. at some point east of Fulton. The proposition as ex-plained by Thos. R. Hamilton, J. G. Gallemore, and W. B. Palmer of Salisbury, is that a company has already chartered, capitalized at $1,000,000, for building a road 100 miles in length in the direction mentioned above. It has cost the company over $500 to get a charter. Now they wish to make a survey that will cost about $3000, and they estimate Columbia's portion of this amount to be about $500, since there are to be 6 county seat towns on the line. The limited number of the scheme to appoint a committee, consisting of E. L. Mitchell, S. F. Conley, J. L. Ballenger, F. W. Smith, J. C. Schwabe, to solicit funds for the survey. The Salisbury gentlemen, are energetic business men who are working for an outlet, and they have unbounded faith in the concern. They say if the survey shows the route practical and not too expensive, eastern capital stands ready to complete the road. We hope to see the project carried out. Already some of our citizens have subscribed to an electric line proposed to run through Columbia, hence the interest in the newer project is not so great as it would otherwise be. --- Professional World RUFUS L.

GORN SHORTS SQUEEZED JULY CORN JUMPS UP TO NINE- TY CENTS. This is Said to be the Highest Price Since 1902—No Unusual Excitement Over The Squeeze—It is Estimated That Manipulators of the Market Today Made a Profit of Sixteen Thousand Dollars. Chicago, July 8.—Shorts in July corn were squeezed again today, and the cornered delivery went to 90 cents, the highest price since 1892, when the market touched $1. July closed at 84 cents yesterday, an advance of 7 cents over the previous close. Opening bids today were from 84 to 85 cents. Shorts were the bidders, and they run it to 90 cents just before noon. It is estimated that in selling the manipulator of the market today profited $16,000, as most of their line, estimated at 15,000,000 bushels, was purchased between 61 and 65 cents. No excitement was evident, although all were interested in the probable point where the Gates coterie would let the price advance before easing their hold. The price already reached the maximum at which Phillips allowed shorts to settle in his first and most successful deal. Shorts who have covered have paid heavily for the privilege and those who are still on the wrong side of the market were generally believed to be in the most serious predicament of a decade. JUDGE H.

He was formerly a district judge in Omaha. He was to have sailed from San Francisco July 13. BANK ROBBERS MAY ESCAPE. New Trial Has Been Granted Them Because of a Mistake Made in Drawing Jurors. Sioux Rapids, July 9.—It has been discovered that there was a mistake made in drawing the jury which convicted Louis Brooks and Albert Phillips, the Albert City bank robbers, of murder in the first degree and fixed their sentence at death. On this account a new trial will undoubtedly be granted and there is a possibility that the men may cheat the gallows after all. None of the jurymen were drawn from Storm Lake township which was contrary to the statute, which provides that jurors shall be drawn from every township in the county. Faville & Chapman, who represented the defendants, are endeavoring to secure a new trial on account of his technicality. Much interest has been aroused in Albert Phillips, the young mulatto on account of his strong poems which have recently appeared in different state papers. The Fourth of July ode which appeared in the Capital Friday was especially commented upon in this locality. Phillips has a good education and is undoubtedly a man of genius. Whether this will save him from the gallows on a second trial remains to be seen. TRACEY IS AGAIN SIGHTED Discovered a Mile and a Half East of Renton, Lake Washington—A Posse in Pursuit. Seattle, Wash., July 9.—Shortly after noon today, Harry Tracey, the escaped convict, was sighted a mile and a half east of Benton, Lake Washington. A posse immediately started in pursuit, and it is thought Tracey is again surrounded. Half a hundred deputies had Tracey surrounded in the Gerald house at Renton, but he gave them the slip and was gone ten minutes before the deputies knew it. he sheriff then closed in and found Anderson, the man he had kidnapped, tied to a tree back of the house. Bloodhounds are now on Tracey's trail. Tracey had tied Anderson to a tree while the posse were in full view of the house before making his escape. Bloodhounds were let loose on the trail and are reported to be only a few minutes behind him. Fully 1,000 armed men are now engaged in the pursuit, including a posse which has taken the train for Palmer to intercept Tracey in his flight toward Cedar mountain. Tonight Anderson related his experiences since the night he left Port Madison in Johnson White's boat until his rescue this evening. From his story it is evident that Tracey has accomplices who are lending him material assistance in his flight through the country. FREIGHT HANDLERS' STRIKE. Meetings Arranged for Today Between Managers and Strikers—Situation Among Miners. Chicago, July 8.—Through the efforts of Chairman Job of the state arbitration committee a series of meetings have been arranged for tomorrow morning between the general managers of each of the roads and a committee of five striking freight handlers from the same line. The committee is empowered to settle the strike, but will report an agreement to the meeting of the union in the afternoon. Chairman Job expresses the hope that this is the beginning of the end of the strike. President Curran of the union tonight said he felt assured that the differences will be amicably adjusted. NO SETTLEMENT IS IN SIGHT. Neither Side in Freight Handlers' Strike Replies to Overtures for Arbitration. Chicago, July 9.—The freight handlers strike, which called out 9,000 men yesterday, appeared no nearer to a settlement this morning than yesterday. Chairman Job of the state board of arbitration today said that neither the railroads nor the strikers had made a reply to his offer of arbitration. At all the freight houses pickets endeavored to persuade the new comers from taking jobs, and sought to lure the men away who were already at work. The jobbing interests of the city are seriously tied up in the shipping department, although the railroads have not had an opportunity to handle much freight outside of perishable property. The outcome of the strike largely depends on the action of the Teamsters' union. If the teamsters come out it is probable the freight handlers will win, but as the teamsters officials have said the handlers struck without the sanction of the Federation of Labor and would have to fight out their own salvation the result of the strike is problematical. No Aid from Railway Clerks: Chicago, July 9.—After protracted meetings the Railway Clerks' union today decided not to aid the striking freight handlers in any way. Even a vote of sympathy was refused. Employes Ordered to Chicago Green Bay, Wiss., July 9.—The orders received here today from railway headquarters at Chicago are that station agents, section bosses and other employees who can be spared are to report to Chicago immediately to aid in handling freight during the strike. Freight Agents to Report for Duty. Denver, Col., July 9.—Traveling freight agents of the roads affected by the strike in Chicago have been notified to be prepared to proceed to Chicago at a moment's notice for duty there. Strikers Sent to Jail Paterson, N. J., July 9.—Nine striking dyers' helpers were arrested today and sentenced to ten days in jail on a charge of throwing stones at non-union men. Critical Situation at Denver. Denver, Colo., July 9.—The situation at the local Union Pacific shops is more critical than at any time since the strike began. A force of Pinkerton men have been put in charge and the city has supplied policemen for protection. Trouble is not expected from the strikers themselves, but from sympathizers. Strike Declared Off. Pawtucket, R. I. July 9.—The street railway strike has been declared off. The strikers gain nothing. All but five of the old employees will be taken back. DICKINSON LAUDS CHOATE He Names Him for Next President in a Speech at Annual Dinner of Hardwicke Society. London, July 8.—Speaking at the annual dinner of the Hardwicke society in London tonight, Don M. Dickinson of Detroit, who was counsel for the United States before the international high commission on the Bering Sea claims in 1897, referred to Ambassador Choate as a possible candidate for the presidency of the United States. The company consisted of several hundred members of the English bar. Mr. Dickinson took Choate's place as the guest of honor. He prefaced his proposal of a toast to the English bench by a tribute to Choate. "Choate los not belong," said Dickinson, "to my parity or to my government, but it is very near the hearts of the American people that he shall go from the court of St. James to the presidential chair, and I wish he may go there." Mr. Dickinson eloquently voiced the sympathetic joy of the American people at the certainty of the recovery of the king, and compared President Roosevelt, amid the enthusiastic cheers of those present, to Sir Philip Sydney, "Sans Peur et Sans Reproche." King's Progress Satisfactory. London, July 9—It was said at the palace tonight that the king's progress was in no way retarded. Secretary Chamberlain's progress is so satisfactory this evening he expects to leave the hospital tomorrow. HORRIBLE DEED IN OKLAHOMA Entire Family Murdered and Mutilated by Unknown Miscreants—No Means of Identification Enid, O.

Grain Rates to be Restored. Chicago, July 9.—As a result of the conference of the traffic men of Western roads, held in Chicago today, grain rates from Kansas City to Chicago, which have been in a demoralized condition for some time, $ w_{m} $ probably be restored. BRUTALITY AT SANTIAGO AMERICAN AND BRITISH RESIDENTS INDIGNANT. Alleged Brutal Treatment of William Houston, a Scotchman, in a Hospital—Taken There With Tremens He is Thrown Into a Cell and Left to Die—The Second Case Within a Month. Santiago De Cuba, July 8.—The American and British residents are indignant at the alleged brutal treatment at the hospital here of a Scotchman, William Houstown, who died, as asserted, of alcoholism on Sunday morning. Houstown drank to excess during the recent celebrations, and last Saturday became delirious. A friend took him to the hospital and left him there. That night Houstown became violent and was put into a straight jacket and thrown into a cell and left without attention, and the next morning he was dead. This is the second case of this nature within a month. The other was that of an American named Cooper, who was taken to the hospital suffering from delirium tremens. Being refused admission at the hospital he was taken to the jail, where he died in a few hours. Mason, the British consul, is investigating both cases. CHAMBERLAIN IS INJURED. Fell Against Broken Glass in His Cab, Cutting His Head Severely—Wound Not Serious. London, July 8.—The injury sustained by Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, when his head was cut by falling against broken glass in his cab, was such as to require a number of stitches. The wound is severe, though not serious. Mr. Chamberlain is resting quietly tonight, but the doctor is not sure he can be moved tomorrow. Chamberlain's injuries, although not dangerous, are unlikely to detain him in the house the remainder of the week. He has already cancelled his engagements until next Thursday, and it is extremely doubtful he will be permitted to attend the coronation banquet in Guild hall Friday or the reception to Kitchener Saturday on his return from South Africa. The secretary has a crescent-shaped cut across his forehead three inches long and penetrating to the bone. Pieces of broken glass were found embedded in the wound. There was no concussion but the bone is bruised. Chamberlain also sustained a slight cut under the right eye. ENGLAND'S FLEET GREATEST. And Will Remain So—North German Gazette Issues Note of Warning to the Fatherland. Berlin, July 8.—The North German Gazette today reviews a number of pamphlets treating upon Germany's seapower and the possibility of an invasion of Great Britain and concludes: "Such ideas are fantastic. England's fleet will remain the greatest in the world. It is quite impossible to land an army in England of sufficient force, unless her navy is destroyed. The remarks of such pamphlets are an outburst from the new German feeling of sea power. They cause a very delightful sensation, but the facts must be correctly measured or else there is danger of illusions being indulged in. QUEEN ALEXANDRA'S TEAS. Each of 10,000 Domestic Servants to Receive Gifts of a Box of Chocolate and a Silver Brooch. London, July 8.—Queen Alexandra's teas to 10,000 domestic servants in London commenced today. Each one of the queen's guests received gifts from her majesty consisting of a box of chocolates and a silver gilt brooch. The proceedings today were very enthusiastic. THE GOVERNOR DETERMINED. Claims Sheriff of Salma County, Ill., Did Not Do His Duty in Al- leged Race Trouble. Springfield. Ill. July 8.—Governor Yates received a letter today from Sheri- f Baxter of Salma county insisting that he did his duty in the alleged race troubles at the colored school at Eldor- ado, and was doing all he could to protect the colored people. The governor responded that the statements of the sheriff and the officer he sent to Eldor- ado to investigate do not agree. The governor says the sheriff having failed to bring back those frightened away and assure them protection he will take up the matter himself. HOT ON TRAIL OF DESPERADO. Boat Abandoned by Convict Tracey is Found at the Extreme Head of Miller's Bay. Seattle, Wash., July 8.—At the extreme head of Miller's bay the boat which carried Harry Tracey and Anderson from Port Madison Saturday night has been found. In it was a pair of oars. Everything else was carried away. The boat was hidden in the bushes. Tracey evidently believing it would not be found for several days. Immediately after finding the boat the party discovered the tracks of two men leading into the forest. "Members of the posse believe they are hot on the trail of Tracey and his unwilling partner. Shortly after noon the sheriff's posse entered the forest. 400 Men for Illinois Central Chicago, July 8.—It is reported tonight that the Illinois Central railroad was to bring four hundred men from the South to take the places of the strikers. Other roads were said to be taking similar measures, bringing in men from the country districts and other cities on their systems. FREIGHT HANDLERS ARE OUT. Between Eight and Nine Thousand Now on Strike—Merchants Fear Big Loss. Chicago, July 8.—Between 8,000 and 9,000 freight handlers struck this morning. All railroads entering Chicago are affected. Business men fear the strike will be the most serious which has affected their interests in years. The demands of the freight handlers are for an increase of wages, extra pay for overtime and holidays, and recognition of the union. Many manufacturers had small forces of men previously hired on hand when the strike was called, and by adding to it men from other departments managed to handle perishable commodities. In hiring non-union men, it is said the railroad runs a serious risk of bringing about a strike of the teamsters who recently won their fight from the packers. The teamsters, it is said, will refuse absolutely to have anything to do with freight in any way handled by non-union help. The men called out include the foremen, check, recheck, recruiting and delivery clerks, callers, weighmasters, stevedores, coopers and elevator men. Chief of Police O'Neill has ordered his subordinates to make every preparation to preserve order. The hundred and fifty men have been called in from the outlying stations to form a reserve force to be stationed at down town stations. From their stations the men went in squads to the different yards. There was no marked demonstration as they entered. The demands of the freight handlers were presented to all railroads June 25 and asked for a reply by 10 o'clock on the morning of July 1. In addition to asking an advance in wages, time and a half pay for overtime and double pay for Sunday and holiday work and two pay days a month, the union demanded recognition as an organization. The officers have adhered strictly to the demand that the roads treat with the representatives of the union instead of with their own employees. Nearly all the roads granted an advance in wages to their men and posted the new schedules on the walls of the freight houses. This, however, was not accepted. The freight handlers were denied the endorsement of their demands for an increase in wages in the afternoon by the Chicago Federation of Labor. First the executive committee of the federation came in with a report in which it urged the freight handlers to appoint a committee to meet with the railroad officials, selecting representatives from the freight houses and virtually complying with the request of the companies. President Curran of the freight men submitted copies of the wage scale his union demanded and the schedule offered by the companies. He explained that the offer of the companies was a reduction for some of the men. Instead of complying with the request of the freight men, the federation referred it back to its executive committee. As President Curran approached Secretary Philip Henry of the freight handlers his face was white with anger. "Political trickery," he said. "We'll show them yet." The officers of the freight handlers were more than angry. They expressed their belief that their union was being made a tool of by President Bowman for the purpose of increasing his prospects of election as criminal court clerk. Hopes of a speedy settlement of the strike are entertained today by officials of the union and members of the state board of arbitration. The union officials are willing to allow committees of the men to discuss the situation with their own roads provided the officials are permitted to act as advisers to the men. As the railroads favored this plan from the beginning the state board of arbitration hopes to speedily arrange a conference. It is said a large number of men quite work under protest. The suspension of work has already caused considerable inconvenience. Should the teamsters carry out the threat to join in a sympathetic strike it will affect freight of all kinds. Much unmoved freight is already in the yards, some of it of a perishable class. Many men brought in by railroads have been induced to join the union and refuse to work. IMPORTANT RULING TO IOWAN Owners of Real Estate Will Not Be Responsible for Saloon Violations of Law. Sioux City, Ia., July 8—A ruling of interest to all Iowaans was made here today by Judge Wakefield. Owners of real estate upon which saloons are situated were held to be not responsible for violations of injunctions against saloon men. Under the former ruling, the property owners were held jointly responsible for such violations. The Anti-Saloon league will appeal the case. CLOUDBURST AT BEATRICE. Railroad Track in Nebraska Town Under Water and Trains Unable to Get in or Out of City. Beatrice, Neb., July 8.—This section was visited by a cloudburst this morning. The Union Pacific track three miles southeast is under water and trains are unable to get in or out of this city. A washout occurred at Burlington, one mile south, delaying passenger trains several hours. A big washout occurred on the high line west of DeWitt. The river is still rising and fears are entertained of another disastrous flood. THREE BOYS KILLED BY CARS Two Boys, Sons of Prominent Farmer of Johnson County, Ill., Found Dead. Carbondale, Ill., July 8.—Two sons of Stanley Beggs, a prominent farmer of Johnson County, age 10 and 14 years, and six others, come today near the tracks of the Illinois Central the two former dead and the last dying. The boys ran away from home July 4. It is supposed they had gone to some celebration, and, returning home, laid down on the tracks to rest. Chinese Official Connected With the Boxer Uprising is Again in Favor With the Government. London, July 7.—The Standard this morning publishes a dispatch from its Tien Tsin correspondent, who says it is reported that Prince Tuan, who was connected with the Boxer crimes and who is now a fugitive, is in frequent communication with the imperial government at Pekin, and that his son has been secretly appointed deputy lieutenant colonel of the Chinese forces at Pekin. New York's Commission to Fair St. Louis, July 7. Governor Benjamin B. Odell of New York has named the state commission to the Louisiana Purchase exposition. Several men of more than national reputation are included in the number. Following are the names: Edward H. Harriman, Louis Stern, Nixon, all of New York city; Wm. Berril, Brooklyn; Frank S. Magraw and Mrs. Norman E. Mack of Buffalo; Edward Lyman Bill, Neew Rochelle; Cyrus E. Jones, Jamestown; John C. Woodbury, Rochester; John K. Stewart, Amsterdam; Jas H. Callahan, Schenectad; John Young, Geneseo. PRESIDENT BEARDSHEAR ILL. National Educational Convention at Minneapolis Will Open on Monday. Minneapolis, Minn., July 7.—The forty-first annual convention of the National Educational association will open here on Monday. President Beard-shear of Ames, Iowa, was unfortunate enough to require the attention of a physician on his first day here. Fully 5,000 persons are expected to attend the convention. ANDRE AND MEN MURDERED. Church of England Clergyman Brings Story of Explorer's Death from the Far Northwest. Chicago, July 7.—The Record-Herald's Winnipeg special says: "Rev. Dr. Ferliss, a Church of England clergyman, arrived from York Factory, Northwest British Territory, today, and brings authentic information of the fate of Explorer Andre and his companions. Two years ago, 1,800 miles north of York a party of Eskimos saw the Andre balloon alight two miles north of Fort Churchill. Three men emerged from the balloon. As the natives approached one of Andre's companions fired a gun. Almost instantly the natives fell upon the explorers and massacred them. Everything pertaining to their outfit was carried to the homes of the natives on the borders of the Arctic region. Dr. Ferlies says there is little room for doubt, as frequent reports have come of strange implements which the natives have in their possession." APPEALS TO SUPREME COURT. Julius Lehmann, Recently Convicted of Perjury at St. Louis, Sentenced to Two Years. St. Louis, July 8.—Julius Lehmann, a former member of the house of delegates, recently convicted of perjury in connection with the franchise bribery cases, was today sentenced to two years in the state penitentiary. Lehmann's attorney gave notice of appeal to the supreme court, giving a bond of $10,000. MARKET REPORTS. Chicago, July 8—Cattle—The run was unexpectedly small today, receipts being only about 16,500 head against 23,651 Monday a year ago. After last week's light supplies, such meager offerings naturally caused a much stronger market, and dealer offerings sold about 10 to 15 heifers. The dealer showed a smaller proportion of well finished, dry-fed cattle than heretofore and buyers had to take commoner droves as substitutes in numerous instances. Good to prime steers, $7.75@8.50; poor to medium, $4.75@7.50; stockers and feeders, $2.50@5.00; heifers, $2.50@6.25; carcasses, $6.30. Dogs—Mens apparel are causing a boom in prices and hogs advanced 10 to 15 this morning on receipts of only 22,000 against 29,630 last Monday. There was active buying this morning and prices soared rapidly. Sheep—As anticipated, there was a big supply today, receipts being about 25,000 and hogs being about 15,000 made up the great bulk of the offerings, and they were in fair demand, prices ruling steady to 10c lower.

LUCKY KNOWLEDGE. Because He Could Play Good Chess He Got a Great Bargain. Wilkesbarre (Pa.) Correspondence New York Herald: Because he won two games of chess out of three, Harry Leim of this city paid 40 cents a ten for 40 tons of tanbark. Leim wanted the bark for his garden, but couldn't get it at any price. It was cornered and held at a fancy figure on account of the coal strike, the bark being used in place of coal. The ashes alone are worth $2.50 a ton, so Leim got a big bargain. Agents tried to get the bark and failed, so Leim started off on his own account to try his luck. At the end of two days he reached the big mill of Mosser & Co. at Noxon, but Mr. Mosser said "No." He had tanbark in plenty, but wouldn't sell any of it. Cash was no inducement to him. Arguments were of no avail, and Leim, after every possible form of entreaty, decided there was no chance to obtain his heart's desire. Leim, discouraged, remained in the mill for a long time, occasionally making another offer, only to be repulsed, finally, in a corner he found a chess board and men. He casually arranged the figures, and while working on a problem Mr. Mosser caught sight of him. Rushing up to him, Mr. Mosser excitedly shouted: "Say! I've been wafting for years to find a man in this region who could play chess. Can you play?" "Can you sell tanbark?" was the Yankee answer Leim gave him. "Look here," rejoined Mr. Mosser, as he sat down, facing Leim. "We'll play three games. If you win two I'll let you have 40 tons of back at 40 cents a ton. If you lose, you don't get a pound at any price. How about it?" "All right," remarked Leim, and the game was on. Leim won the two games, but it took him four hours to do it. He now has 40 tons of tannark. HOW'S THIS? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarr that cannot be bured by Hall's Catarr Cure. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

London Globe: The part played by color in the treatment of disease is just now attracting fresh attention. The success of the Italian doctors in their employment of red in the sick room has set some people talking about this subject as though it were a modern discovery that color affected the nerves and through the nerves the general health of the body was made many years ago; we know that Edward II, for instance, when he was Prince Edward, was cured of smallpox—if we are to believe the court physician—solely by the brilliant scarlets employed in the decoration of his bed and the room in which the bed stood. But to say that color, per se, can cure a person of smallpox, or any other malady, is to state what science must absolutely deny. Nevertheless it cannot be too widely known that success in sick nursing may depend in a greater or less degree on the scheme of coloring that obtains in the patient's room. Whether scarlet or the other various shades of red is the universal pamacea we know not, but it is quite safe to say that anything in the shade of mournful and dyspeptic yellows and greens should not be utilized in ministering to a mind diseased. Color, in this sense, after all is only another word for environment, and it is quite certain that brightness and cheerfulness, whatever their tints are useful factors in the treatment of sickness.

Mr. Downtown—That shows all you know about business. I can't possibly get along without the boy, can I??? Mrs. Downtown—Certainly not. Mr. Downtown—Of course not. Everybody knows that. Must have a boy to sweep out, run errands, and do all sorts of odd jobs. Mrs. Downtown—Very true. But the men? Mr. Downtown—I've got to have the men to watch the boy.—New York Weekly.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of FARM ORCHARD GARDEN AND Many a farmhouse cellar could be much improved in elsewhere, and ical treatment of male animals of all sorts, cruelty to dumb animals and come at you with the argument that if these several processes and operations are right then the Lord made a mistake when he created these animals it is very tiresome to come across this Correspondence Solicited a weed is simply a plant out of place, then there is a good deal of disorder on some farms. One way to tell a good cook is to find out whether the bottom crust of her pumpkin or custard pies is fit to eat or not. The male grosbeak shares with the female the labor of incubation, a family duty not usually assumed by the head of the bird house. The white fowls seem to take the lead in popularity—White Leghorns, White Plymouth Rocks, White Wyandottes and Light Brahmas. The hardness, early maturity and rustling qualities of the Angus cattle commend them specially to any stock raiser of the north country. We would not put uncurled clover hay into the mow of a big barn unless we wished to tempt Providence and have an insurance loss to settle. Where there is no hay barn to store the crop and where forty tons of hay are produced it will be found that a stack cover will soon pay for itself. The only good thing which we can say for the wild mustard is that it makes about as good a dish of greens when young as there is to be found. The man who can't rest until he has got some sort of a job for the hired man to do on a rainy summer afternoon is not built right to enjoy life. A Minnesota farmer told us recently that while he could raise pretty good corn he did not like the crop, for it never gave a fellow any chance to rest. The man of old who tore down his barns to build bigger ones should have built new ones, letting the old ones stand, and then he might not have got into trouble. A thrift growth of weeds on a farm not only points to careless farming, but it also suggests large possibilities in crop production were the soil properly care for. The dewberry is with us more productive and more easily cared for and protected in winter than the blackberry, and the fruit for aught we see is every way as fine. One of the best and still one of the lowest priced cuts on a veal animal is the brisket. Baked, with a stuffing such as is used for poultry and game, it is a delicious dish. It is probably a fact that as farmers get better fixed financially they become more cautious about buying. Usually a man buys the most recklessly when he buys on credit. Here are three things which any man can do to secure a good standing in his community: Pay all his debts promptly maintain good line fences and refuse to run for office. The supply of house cats will always keep pace with the supply of rats and mice and often exceed it, and, anyhow, we sometimes wonder which is the greater nuisance of the two. There is likely to be an active demand for all kinds of young stock this summer and fall to use up the large crop of grasses, hay, forage and corn which the season is producing. If you have a spot in the home dooryard where you could set a Colorado blue spruce, you will never regret planting one, for it is the most beautiful evergreen of the whole list. It is not best to shave the lawn too close after the middle of June. Set the cutter bar of the mower up and leave some growth of grass to protect the roots of the grass from the midsummer sun. In the growing of small fruits it is the home market for such fruits which should be studied and catered to, for such home market is worth in dollars and cents nearly a third more than any foreign market. The champion butter cow of the world is a Holstein owned in the state of Minnesota, she having a verified record of 554 pounds of milk in seven days, which made 29 pounds 57-10 ounces of butter. It seems that there are people living on farms in this country who for the sake of getting twenty pounds of granulated sugar for a dollar will cheerfully invest in ten pounds of nutmegs. These are easy marks. It is recognized fact by our most successful poultrymen that where hens are kept for the sale purpose of producing eggs they will lay more eggs and the eggs will keep better if no roosters are kept in the flock. If clover is put into the barn or stack in an uncured condition, it will certainly burn. If the air gets at it, it will certainly burn and spoil. If you can keep the air from it, you will have to all intents and purposes clover ensilage, a very palatable and nutritious dairy ration. Many a farmhouse cellar could be much improved in cleanliness and comfort by plastering the walls, cementing the floor and putting more light in it. The cellar when properly arranged is one of the most useful rooms in the house, but too often it is little save a deattrap. Size of Seed Potatoes: We are asked about planting small potatoes—will such seed produce small potatoes? While it is true that continuous selection of the smallest potatoes for seed would surely have a tendency to run the variety out and give nothing but small potatoes, the use of such seed, the culls of a good crop, would not probably for the first crop show any marked difference in product as compared with that raised from the largest potatoes. We have this year planted one piece of potatoes with small seed, from the size of a walnut to a hen's egg, and alongside have planted seed from the best selected potatoes. They are of the same variety, and we will report results. The condition of the public school grounds whether in country or town is very likely to reflect the home surroundings of the people of such community. Where the schoolhouse is made every way pretty and attractive inside and outside there will be found nice homes. As we note it, the English sparrow will on an average hatch three broods during the season, and the first brood hatched will raise one brood of their own. This is a frightful rate of propagation and easily explains how, in spite of all their enemies, these pests increase in number as they do. We have an elm tree in the dooryard which seems to be a favorite nesting place for the birds. During the past four years the crotch in the tree has been occupied in rotation by the bluejays, robins, catbirds and mourning doves. This year a grosbeak wanted the place, but failed to get it. So many want to know how to kill quack grass in the fields, squirreltail grass on the lawn, burdocks, squash bugs and aphis, borers, cankerworms, chicken mites and files, how to cure self sucking cows, sick hogs and lousy calves, that it seems as though almost every man on the farm had some trouble or other. One aggravating thing connected with the automobile is that even should the public highways be so improved as to permit of high speed with the machine the law will so limit the speed in the interest of public safety that running a machine will seem like making but twenty miles an hour on a fast mail train. A young friend of ours has started this season to lay the foundation for a future herd of fine cattle. He has bought three registered Polled Angus heifers and a bull. If he will take proper care of these animals, he will have a herd inside of ten years which he will be proud of and which will make him a lot of money. A Minnesota man sowed four pounds of rape with a crop of early sow millet and claims that it is a success, the rape making a new growth after the millet was cut and affording an abundance of good sheep pasture till frost came. We should think that there would be trouble in curing the millet with more or less of the rape in it. The greatest loss to those sections of the Mississippi valley which have been visited with such tremendous floods this season has not been in the crops or bridges destroyed, but rather in the loss in sod fertility by erosion over millions of acres of choice farm land, every farmer contributing not a little of the best part of his farm to the rushing waters which carried it off in solution to the ocean. Experiments made by the department of agriculture in Connecticut in the growing of Sumatra tobacco prove that this choice leaf can be produced in that state under cover at a cost of 25 cents a pound and a yield of 1,000 pounds per acre obtained. As the product is worth $1.25 per pound in the market a very handsome profit is realized. It is not likely that the growing of this leaf need be confined to Connecticut either. The writer personally cares for a vegetable and small fruit garden containing a little over one-half acre of ground. The seeds are all sown and the land well cultivated and kept free from all weeds by the use of a Planet Junior cultivator. So adaptable and useful do we find this tool and so well does it do its work that we had rather have it to use in our garden than the best man we know of working for nothing with a hoe. An interesting case of selflessness came under our observation a few days ago. A robin was busy digging earthworms on the lawn. A cock sparrow who had a family to provide for near by would follow the robin up, and when a nice fat worm was unearthed he would grab it before the robin could swallow it and carry it off to the young sparrows. The funny thing was that the robin did not seem to mind this sort of work in the least. A Tiresome Sentiment. There is a type of ultra tender heart-ness and sympathy for dumb animals exhibited by some people which becomes a good deal of a nuisance. They seem to entirely overlook the fact that in order that they may have meat to eat somebody must take the life of the animal. They go daft over dogs and are utterly indifferent to the horrors of hydrophobia and all the long list of meannesses of which dogs are capable. They call the dehorning of cattle, the cutting off of the lamb's tail, the surg- ical treatment of male animals of all sorts, cruelty to dumb animals and come at you with the argument that if these several processes and operations are right then the Lord made a mistake when he created these animals. It is very tiresome to come across this sort of humanitarian. Man was placed on earth to subdue it. In this work of subjugation he may do much by kindness and should so do wherever possible, but some things must be subdued by force and the use of unseemingly harsh methods, and it is utter folly to ignore this fact. Not even the ways of the Almighty are all gentle, nearly all the sanitary, renovating and rebuilding processes of nature being to a greater or lesser extent harsh and seemingly cruel. Home Improvement. The question of home improvement is always a live one, and now that the mortgage is paid off and there is a little money in the bank some thought should be given to this subject. We hate to see a twenty thousand dollar man trying to live in a two hundred and fifty dollar home, for he ought in justice to his family to live in something better. Be the house what it may, there is still a chance for all to improve the home surroundings. So much may be accomplished with paint, straightening and cleaning up, tree planting and lawmaking that even the comparatively cheap and poor house can be made the nucleus of a pretty and attractive view. American women are rated as the most attractive of any women, and largely because of the taste they exhibit in attire and manner. In the same way the American home should be made equally pleasing. It looks like foolishness to put $3,000 in a fine house and then pile firewood and old harness on the front porch, while the poultry befoul the walks and make dusting places of the flower beds. We occasionally pass through a wood pasture lot the entrance to which is closed by a pair of bars—old fence rails—and these rails are of the straightest and choicest black walnut, cut over fifty years ago, when walnut timber sold for $15 per thousand feet and was made into fence rails because it was the most easily split into shape. Since then the old stumps of those splendid trees have been dug out and sold for more than the tree would bring when it was slaughtered. The Borer the Worst Pest. Our almost daily experience with a large apple orchard leads us to the conclusion that of all the pests which beset the apple tree none is so much to be feared as the work of the borer. The trouble is that unless a most vigilant and expert watch is kept upon the trees the damage is all done before it is in any way manifest to the casual observer. The insidious work of this pest is charged up to the climate, cold, heat, sunscald, blight, when all the while nothing is the matter save that a white grub half an inch long is girdling the tree under the bark just above the roots and surely killing it. If a young tree blossoms full and sets a heavy crop of fruit, you may be almost certain that there is a borer working on it. The Black Squash Bug. A gentleman from Pennsylvania writes wishing to know how to deal with the large black squash bug hutch for the first time last year destroyed the squash vines in his locality. We had the same pest last year to contend with in the west also. These beetles attack the vines after a growth of two or three feet is made and make short work of them. The pests feed on the underside of the leaves, and this fact makes it difficult to reach them by any ordinary method of spraying. We shall try three things on them this season if they make their appearance—hellebore powder, london purple and parsley green—and will report later which of these remedies is the most effective. Sorghum as Forage. The use of sorghum as a forage crop is becoming more and more general each year. Men who have tried it like it and say that no forage raised on the farm is so eagerly eaten by stock of all kinds, and it seems to make no difference if it does become a little mildewed and dusty; the stock will eat it unclean. The best success with this crop is had by sowing the last of May, drilled or broadcast, and sowing thickly, cutting it just as late as possible in the fall, so that the hard frosts will not spoil it, then bunching it into cocks in the field of 500 or 600 pounds each and letting it remain there until wanted in the winter. In this way it does not cure as does hay, but retains its juices and succulent qualities. It is greatly esteemed as a substitute for silage. Try an Oak Steak. Wood is the newest food, says Heinrich Reh, a professor of chemistry in Berlin. He has secured a patent upon a form of animal fodder which has sawdust as its chief ingredient. He argues that animals have a decided liking for young shoots, roots of shrubs, tree bark and other heavy food of the same nature, and, since experiments have proved that the nutriment contained in such growth remains in it even after it has become wood, he observes that with a little salt and water added to it the sawdust will prove to be a highly nourishing diet. He has statistics to prove it. Pine, birch, poplar alder, acacia, beech and walnut woods and acraws have been analyzed chemically by him, and he finds that the wood has vastly more albumen, nitrogen and fatty substance than the straw.

Athens, Ga., Banner: A most interesting story was told a Banner reporter concerning the original possession of the island of Martinique. The story concerns Mrs. S. C. Reese, of this place, whose grandmother once owned a greater part of the volcanic isle. Mrs. Reese's grandmother was Mme. Gouvain, who was closely related in marriage to Count de Trobriand, of France. She was an intimate friend of Josephine de Beauharnais, who afterward became the wife of the great Napoleon, and she left France on the night on which Napoleon married the Austrian Princess Marie Louise, and came to America. Not satisfied with her possession in the French West Indies after her coming to America, she traded her land on the island of Martinique to Count D'Estang, the gallant French officer to whom were given valuable lands in America for his services to the colonies during the revolution. Most of these lands were in the southern states, and 20,000 acres were situated in Georgia, some of which embraced the present site of Athens, and others of which lay near Tallulah Falls. Mme. Gouvain was advised by her agent to sell her possessions in Martinique on account of the volcanic condition of the country, and time has proved the wisdom of her choice. She was a very wealthy woman, and in close confidence with the powers of the monarchy of France. Mrs. Reese had now in her possession a most gorgeous dress of her grandmother, which was worn at the marriage of Napoleon to Josephine Beauharnais and which is a priceless relic. The story of the division of the Gouvain estate, formerly belonging to D Estang, is one of piecemeal separation and division until it became possessed by hundreds of relatives of the noted Frenchwoman. Mrs. Reese possesses much information in the shape of papers, maps, etc., concerning the island of Martinique, which descended from its original owner.

AN ALASKA LIFE-SAVER. How Duncan McCabe's Wife Fell in Water and Made Tidal Wave. Alaska Prospector: Sergeant Josef Froelich had an exciting adventure last week, in which he played the role of a lifesaver. No one knew where lives in Germany. This unfortunate event happened while Josef was out boating in company with Mrs. Duncan McCabe, the wife of Dunc McCabe, the best blacksmith on the bay. Mrs. McCabe is not a light woman by any means, and during some feminine movement lost her balance and upset the boat, causing both of its occupants to be precipitated into the icy waters of the bay. Other boats were near, but the parties were so confused by the nover sight that they did not know what to do. Josef, with great coolness and presence of mind, saved Mrs. McCabe from a watery grave by grasping her and taking her ashore. She did not look much the worse for her trying experience. The fort's new wireless telegraphy system was brought into use and a message hastily sent to Dunc for warm clothes. Our friend Josef had on his best suit and it was utterly ruined. Mrs. Duncan McCabe, being a somewhat heavy woman, displayed a considerable amount of water as she fell in the bay. At about the same time Sergeant McHugh, our provo, was walking along the beach nearly a mile from the scene of the accident, in company with Sergeant Daggett. He was nearly drowned by the tidal wave that suddenly appeared but as rescued by the timely action of his companion. The affair was treated as a joke at the fort, and Josef was unmercifully guyed by his comrades. It was a good thing that it as not a young lady or perhaps there would have been a wedding at the fort in the near future. It is much regretted by the members of Company G that Sergeant McHugh was obliged to go on sick report after his experience. The London Chronicle says: As the Boer war broke out in October, 1899, the year 1900 is the first complete year of war, and for that reason its vital statistics have a special interest. The net result may be stated briefly. The marriage rate fell from 16.4 in the previous year to 16 per 1,000, the birth rate fell from 29.1 to 28.7, and the death rate rose from 17.5 in 1898 to 18.2 in the two years of war. Here we have a quite perceptible, though by no means, alarming evidence of the influence of the war. Trade depression may, of course, have something to do with the decline in marriages and births. The price of wheat in 1900 was 26s. 11d. per quarter, as against 25s. 8d. in 1899, but the table given by the registrar general tells to prove an absolute correspondence between our trade and vital statistics. Thus, in 1898, the price of wheat was higher than in any year since 1891, and so was the marriage rate. In the year 1900 the influence of the war on the death rate jumped from 10.5 to 27.6 per 1,000. Nevertheless fighting seems a moderately healthy profession.

PRESS OF THE MISSOURI STATESMAN. Our thanks are due the following named persons for subscriptions recently: P. Virgil Williams, Chillicothe, Mo., Mr. J. T. Washington, Seward, Kansas, Mrs. Sisely Gray, Centralia, Mo. THE action of Governor Yates in regard to the trouble at Eldorado, Ill. is very commendable. Indeed Missouri's Governor might get a few pointers from our sister state's executive. Less than a year ago when trouble arose at Wright City between negroes and white's and innocent men, women and children were shot down and their property destroyed, practically nothing was done to punish the perpetrators of these wrongs. On having his attention called to the matter by a private citizen he simply replies, that "mob law is always to be regretted," and that, "there is but one safety for the people and that is a rigid enforcement of the law." Evidently the Governors of these two great states, Illinois and Missouri, would not agree as to the meaning of the rigid enforcement of the law. Herring Pavements. One would hardly think that red herrings, or any other sort of herrings, mixed with oil of pine, would make good street paving; yet that is what the smooth asphalt surfaces are made of, according to the opinion of scientific gentlemen who are always delving into the origin of things. These scientific gentlemen have reached this apparently strange conclusion after some very interesting experiments. They have made an artificial asphalt that closely resembles the natural substance, and used in its production only fresh herrings and oily pine wood. These substances were distilled, the product was condensed in a Liebig condenser, and resulted in asphalt. It is claimed that this experiment confirmed the theory that asphalt is the product of a natural distillation, by which ancient animal and vegetable matter have been transformed into asphalt under the crust of the earth. Man's. Antiquity. Prof. Matthew Flinders Petrie, the famous antiquarian of London, thus sums up the latest evidence of the antiquity of the human race: "Antiquarians now have to deal with Egypt alone. There is an unbroken chain of historic record from 5,000 B. C., besides actual objects, which carry history back 2,000 years further, thus giving 9,000 years to human history; but this is yet far from the beginning. Other lands might show the age of man to be more remote by physical evidences, but nowhere could we feel more plainly the certainty of the antiquity of man than where 9,000 years' continuous remains did not yet bring us into the vast periods of those climatic and geological changes through which man had kept up the chain of life to the present day." Elaborate Japanese Dolls Japanese dolls are usually most elaborately and gorgeously attired, for the princely families keep these toys and pass them down to their descendants. The brocaded silks for the doll robes are specially woven in miniature patterns on small looms. The wooden dolls are often beautifully carved and enameled.
