President Eliot, of Harvard University, in a speech last Friday made an attack on the present public school system. He virtually read an indictment against the public school system. He found radical fault with the work of the public schools of America, and claimed that the public schools have not kept pace with social development during the last fifty years, and that such industrial wars as are on now are an evidence that the common schools have not done their work as they should. In fine, Dr. Eliot said: "That the results of American education have hitherto fallen far short of the hopes and expectations of its founders." and that the American people cannot afford to persist in the present low school expenditure per pupil.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 21.—The convention of delegates representing the Mine Workers in the hard coal district of Pennsylvania voted at 11:55 o'clock to-day to end the strike. The vote was unanimous. The decision was greeted with tremendous cheering. It was decided that all men needed to put the mines in condition for work can return today. The coal miners themselves are to go back Thursday. The strike was called 163 days ago, nearly five and one half months. It was ended only when a coal famine had settled upon the nation. Mule-Footed Hogs. Dr. R. S.

They are characterized by having no split in their hoops. They have been developed from the old hogs of the South to first-class animals. Some Horse Cases. Much of the time of the present term of circuit court was taken up in the trial of suits about horses. The first of these cases was that of John R. Stites vs. D. T. Hubbard, which was a suit for damages on account of false and fraudulent statements having been made (so it was alleged) as to the condition and ages of two carriage horses. This was a Centralia case, and it was tried at the June term 1908 of the circuit court, but the jury failed to agree. This term, it was tried before Judge Hockaday, and he found for the defendant. T. S. Carter and J. H. Cupp represented Mr. Stites; and Mr. Hubbard was represented by J. L. Stephens, Arthur Bruton and Frank Harris. Geo. A. Gilpin sued the M. K. & T. railroad for killing his horse on a bridge near McBaine. A trial before Judge Hockaday, without a jury, resulted in a verdict for plaintiff for $150.

Much interest was shown in the cases of Columbia & Cedar Creek Turnpike Co. vs I. C. Vivion, Jno. W. McBride, B. H. McKimpson, Turner Hamilton and Henry Frazier. These were suits for the collection of toll, alleged to be due this company from the various defendants, and for sums running from $2.43 up to $26.20. The defense was that the gravel road was not in good condition, and therefore the plaintiff had no right to charge or collect any toll. The cases originated in Justice's Boggs' court, where there was a judgment for all the defendants; the company appealing. After two days trial in the Circuit court at this term, and the examination of various records and about forty five witnesses, judgment was rendered for the company—the cases being tried before Judge Hockaday without a jury. It is understood that an appeal has been taken by all five of the defendants. N. T. Gentry represented the gravel road people; and C. B. Sebastian, Col. S. Turner and Judge W. M. Williams are attorneys for the defendants. Marriage Licenses This Week Dot Sappington, Ashland, and Lula Maupin, Columbia. W. E. Roberts and Berbie Schultz, Centralia. R. B.

Tucker, who lives a mile south of Hallsville, was here Wednesday exhibiting some fine specimens of farm products, as follows: A yellow ear of corn 15 inches long, a turnip 2 feet and 2 inches, in circumference, and blue grass whose blades were 2 feet, 9 inches long. Mr. Tucker says he has 125 acres of grass like that which has never had a plow stuck in it; and has ten acres of sorghum which is too heavy to be cut with a machine, and will cut it with corn knives.

GREAT STRIKE OF MINE WORKERS DECLARED OFF. Vote of the Convention Was Unanimous to Accept President Roosevelt's Proposition and Leave Settlement of Differences to Commission—Strike Commission Has Been Called to Meet This Week. Wilkesbarre, Oct. 22.—With a shout that fairly shook the convention building, the report was received that 147,000 mine workers who had been on strike since last May, had officially declared off at noon today the greatest contest ever waged between capital and labor, and placed all questions involved in the struggle into the hands of the arbitration commission appointed by President Roosevelt. When the news was sent to the towns and villages down in the valleys and on the mountains of the coal regions the strike affected, the inhabitants breathed a sigh of relief. Everywhere there was rejoicing and in many places the end of the strike was the signal for impromptu town celebrations. While the large family of mine workers and their families, numbering approximately half a million persons are grateful work is to be resumed Thursday, the strikers have still to learn what their reward will be. President Roosevelt having taken prompt action in calling the arbitrators together for their first meeting Friday, the miners hope they will know by Thanksgiving day what practical gain they have made. The vote to resume mining was unanimous and was reached only after a warm debate. The principal objection to accepting arbitration was that no provision was contained in the scheme to take care of those who would fail to get back their positions or would be unable to get any work at all. Engineers and pumpmen get better pay than other classes of mine workers and they did not wish to run the risk of losing altogether their places and be compelled to dig coal for a living. This question came up yesterday and was argued up to the time a vote was taken. No one had any definite plan to offer to overcome the objection, and the report of the committee on resolutions recommending the strike be declared off and that all issues be placed in the hands of the arbitration commission for decision was adopted without the question being settled. A few moments before adjournment, however, a partial solution was reached when a delegate moved the problem be placed in the hands of the executive boards for solution, and his suggestion was adopted. The principal speech of the day was made by National Secretary-Treasurer Wilson, who practically spoke for Mitchell and the National organization. In a strong argument he counselled the men to accept arbitration, the very plan the strikers themselves had offered, return to work and trust to the president's tribunal to do them justice. The question of taking care of all men who fail to get work immediately will be a serious one for the union. There is no doubt the executive boards will take care of the engineers, firemen and pumpmen, but there will be thousands of other classes of mine workers who have to be looked after. In some places hundreds will not be able to get work for weeks, and in other localities where the mines are in very bad condition, there will be no employment for many workmen for some months. Now that the strike is over the volume of relief money will decrease and local unions will be compelled to call upon national organizations for assistance when the money now in their hands runs out. With the close of the great conflict will also end, probably this week, the assessments now being levied on all bituminous mine workers affiliated with the union. Officials who care to talk of the situation feel confident that the national body will come to their assistance and help all who stood out during the suspension. Hundreds of men needed to repair mines and otherwise place them in condition for operation will be at work tomorrow morning, the convention having decided this imperative in order to get the men at work quickly and satisfy the country's demand for coal. All locals will hold meetings tomorrow at which instruction will be given members regarding their applications for work. Mitchell received many congratulating telegrams from all over the country after the news spread that the strike had ended. On his returning to headquarters he was asked for an expression of his views on the action of the convention, and in reply said: "I am well pleased with the action of the mine workers in deciding to submit the issues to the commission selected by the president of the United States. The strike itself has demonstrated the power and dignity of labor. Conservative, intelligent trade unionism has received an advancement the effect of which cannot be measured. I earnestly hope and firmly believe that both labor and capital have learned lessons from the miner's strike which will enable them to keep peaceful, humane and business methods of adjusting wage differences in the future. After Mitchell had notified President Roosevelt of the action of the convention and received a reply to the effect that the commission would meet in Washington Friday he sent an official announcement to the strikers that the strike was off and advising them to report for work Thursday morning. The notice caused the miners to exercise more than usual care in order to avoid accidents, as the present condition of the mines are such there will be great danger when work is resumed. Mitchell has not made any arrangements regarding future movements. He does not know whether he should go to Washington. The miners' leader will act as attorney for the men at all sessions of the commission and will have with him several assistants. The Tillamook stage was held up Saturday night by three masked men five miles from North Yankill, Ore. The robbers secured $200 from the passengers, and then escaped. The highwaymen compelled the passengers to get out of the stage, stand in line at the roadside and hand over their valuables. The country is heavily timbered, and there is little probability of capturing the robbers. ROOSEVELT'S PROMPT ACTION. Members of Strike Commission Summoned by Telegraph to Meet at National Capital Friday. Washington, Oct. 22—News of the termination of the strike was received by the president with great satisfaction. Before a formal telegram from Mitchell had reached him he had been informed through the Associated Press of the convention's favorable action, Telegrams had been sent members of the commission summoning them to meet here Friday. It is probable that as soon as the commission organizes President Roosevelt will present a formal letter of instructions. The first step of the commission will be to take testimony of the miners, who will be regarded as plaintiffs in the case. Both sides will be informed they are to be present either personally or by counsel. The first testimony will probably be heard at Wilkesbarre and then in Philadelphia and New York. It is probable that during the taking of testimony reporters of the press will be present. How long the hearings will continue nobody can foretell. At the conclusion each member of the commission will be supplied with a copy of the testimony and will consider it at his leisure. Subsequently the commission will reconvene, perhaps in this city, to formulate its report for presentation to the president. Boston, Oct. 21.—The United Irish league convention today voted to send messages of congratulations to Roosevelt and Mitchell upon the ending of the coal strike. CREAMERY AND BUTTER MEN.

London, Oct. 22.—An official connected with a Red Sea port says: "The Mullah and other turbulent chiefs in Somaliland have been liberally supplied with rifles by Americans and Germans, in spite of British gunboats. The rifles supplied by Americans were done up as cotton goods. This explains a former reference in consular reports to the preference of Somalis for American calicoes and shirt goods.

DEATH IN FIERY FURNACE TWENTY-NINE MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES IN FIRE Chicago Sugar Refinery at Taylor Street and Chicago River Reduced to a Mass of Ruins Inside of Half an Hour—Fire Was Caused by an Explosion—Two Men Jumped from Seventh Story to the Pavement. Chicago, Oct. 22.—By a fire which broke out shortly before midnight in the Glucose Sugar Refinery, at Taylor street and Chicago River, the factory was almost entirely destroyed, and it is said twenty-nine men lost their lives. The number of dead has not been established, but it is known they were in the building and all were working on the seventh floor. The flames spread so rapidly that a man working on the third floor had barely time to escape with his life, and it it not thought the men in the upper story could have avoided death. At midnight two bodies were taken from the ruins, but the fire was burning so fiercely it was impossible to make further search. The plant consisted of three buildings, the drying house, seven stories in height, the main refinery, four stories high, and another structure four stories high. The fire started in the drying house, being caused by an explosion. By the time the first of the fire department arrived the building was ablaze from foundation to roof. It was impossible for the firemen to make any effective fight, and in a short time the walls were down and the building was a mass of ruins in half an hour. The fire was so hot it was feared the Taylor street viaduct, across which access is had to the South side of the city, would be destroyed, but the firemen saved this after a hard struggle. They bent every effort toward saving the fourteen-story refinery, but so intense was the fire in the drying house that this caught fire in several places and at 12:30 a.m. it was evident, even if it could be saved at all, it would be badly damaged. The men on the three lower floors of the dry house escaped. Those on the seventh had no chance whatever for their lives. Several of them left the windows and crawled along the sills in an effort to reach a place of safety, but all except two made up their minds this meant certain death. Those two sprang into the air, and struck the pavement, so horribly mangled it was impossible to identify them. These are the bodies said to have been taken out. Four others who jumped from the fourth floor were terribly injured and taken to a hospital. The fire was under control before 1 o'clock. The police then declared, that, in their opinion, the loss of life would not be more than ten or twelve. It is thought the loss of life may reach thirty. Five bodies have been recovered. Only one has been identified, Frank Rotheberg. Fire at Marshalltown Marshalltown, Oct. 22.-Fire destroyed the elevator of the Lockwood Grain company today with 26,000 bushels of grain and 100 tons of coal.

THREATENED RICE FAMINE Crops in the Philippines Are Small and the Oriental Supply Seems Limited—Price Advancing Manila, Oct. 21. -It is believed that the Philippines will experience a rice famine. The island's crops are small and the Oriental supply seems limited. The price is advancing rapidly and it is possible that the government will be forced to provide supplies for the poorer natives. DEMONSTRATION TO BOERS Two Thousand People Met the Train at Hanover Station at 2 O'clock Sunday Morning. Berlin, Oct. 21.—General DeWet spoke at 2 o'clock Sunday morning at Hanover station to 1,000 persons, who almost stormed the train.

Cattle—The unexpected heavy receipts this week, which total nearly 48,000 head, are causing bad markets. Monday's sales showing a further reaction of 109/23c. Cattle sold 250/50c lower than a week ago in most instances. Today's market was even worse, as a great last night, and quite a number of steers sold 10c lower than yesterday.

Fereetat ae ‘The good times of 1902, when a fat hog brought $20, will long be remem- dered. The aster, we find, is subject to more insect pests than any flower which we try to grow. Clean grainflelds are almost imposs!- ble where there is neither rotation of crops nor sheep. ‘The largest and handsomest apple grown is the Wolf River, and it is at the same time the most wortLless. We note that one of the reclaimed Jake beds in a Western state is afford- ing the finest kind of duck shooting this fall. ‘The easiest way to keep a good hired girl in the farm house is to get a good looking hired man. We know that this plan works, There is quite a risk in holding hogs at this season of the year, and just as soon as they are fit for market it is best to let them go. We sometimes think that a man’s reputation suffers almost as much to be known as small, mean and stingy as to be rated as dishonest. The pansy bed has been a delight all summer, the cool, moist season having contributed to the very best develop- ment of this favorite flower. A cornfield infected with both pocket gophers and wild morning glories is in a bad fix, and the sooner such a field is turned into pasture the better. ‘The canna roots should now be taken up and set on the floor of the cellar, Let them dry out, and they will be all ready for planting next spring. The geraniums which have bloomed in the garden this summer may be taken up, potted and if well cut back will afford a lot of bloom all winter. A clover sod is an ideal preparation for almost any sort of crop. ‘There should be at least 20 acres of such land available each year on every quarter rection farm. If the hogs of the Northwest manage to get away with all the soft corn there is in the fields this year and not get the cholera, it will be a plece of rare good fortune. ‘Twenty thousand Americans have in- vaded the Canadian Northwest this sea- son and have either bought or home- stended a cast tract of the fertile land of that region. Great Britain imports yearly nearly $10,000,000 of butter, and Denmark furnishes seventenths of it and makes it largely out of dairy rations imported from America, This ought to be stopped. ‘The Hibernal apple is every way as poor as it looks to be. The most that can be said in its favor fs that it is so hardy that it will probably do fairly well where other apples cannot be grown, ‘They say that a goose will live to be 70 years old, though just why this bird should be so long lived it is hard to see when the more useful hen lays and cackles herself out inside of four or five years. Where we live, while the second crop of clover was unusually fine and full of bloom, there is hardly any seed set, continuous wet and cold weather dur- ing the blooming season having kept the bumblebees from working, More money is made from the Ben Davis apple than from any other vari- ety. It is red for one thing, grows large and keeps well. It holds its own as a market apple In spite of the fact that the quality is of the poorest. ‘We came across a properly fed rape- field the other day. It was full of seem- ingly bare stalks of rape a foot or more high. these covered with little buds and shoots, tender and toothsome, which the hogs nipped with eagerness. It seems queer that a man will work hard on a farm for 20 years to ac- cumulate a little property and then fall ‘an easy victim to some shell game fakir whom he knows nothing abont. More men of 60 need guardians than have them. It has been demonstrated the past season that the soil of Cuba will pro- duce the much wanted sea island cot- ton in the greatest perfection, a staple three and a half inches in length being grown, This fact makes any land which will grow this kind of cotton worth over $100 per acre, ‘The Gravel Road. Wherever a plece of graded highway on the black prairie soils of the country has bene graveled a very practical ob- ject lesson has been given of the value of this method of making a good road out of a dirt road, We think that two applications of the gravel are much etter for the road than where the whole amonnt 1s put on ate once, the first coat of four inches to be allowed to incorporate with the muck soil and form a good foundation for a later coat ‘of about four or six Inches more gravel. ‘Thus built. supposing the roadbed {s roperly drained, such a road will last fnaefinitely, with only a scant repairing from year to year. Mis | em. toi nn ad sy eee There {s a good deal in the papers about ginseng and the great profits con- » |nected with growing this plant.

Best beetsteak is quoted at 44 cents a pound in the city of Berlin, the same kind which {s obtainable in this coun- try for 25 cents. Other meats are also scarce and high priced. It seoms queer that for the benefit of the few stock raisers In that country the government should see fit to bar out the cheap meat products of this and other countries. Nineteen hundred and two has been a sort of freak season. We have noted more abnormal growths among fruits, grains and vegetables than we ever did before. Potatoes appeared in large ‘nodules on the vines, corn grew un- usually tall and set from two to four ears on a stalk, cabbage and celery have gone to seed’ the first season, while ‘strawberries and raspberries set a sec- ‘ond crop of fruit. A farmer friend of ours after 30 years spent in peace and quiet on his farm, having retired to live in town, thought he would take an active interest in politics this fall and so came up as a candidate for an office. He tells us that while he knew there was a good deal of meanness in men he still had no idea of the depth of their total depravity un- til he got into politics. He says he can hardly now trust his best friends. There are two things about which nothing bad is ever said—the brome grass and alfalfa, The former is of al- most inestimable value to all that large territory where timothy and the clovers will not do well for lack of sufficient moisture, while alfalfa is proving the redeemer of a principality of hereto- fore worthless lands in the West. No fact is better proved than this—where grass can be made to grow there will follow all other good things in an agri- cultural way. ‘What He Has To Buy. The man who lives and works in town has to buy hay, corn, oats, poul- try, eggs, milk, cream, butter, meat, vegetables, fruit, flour, meal, fuel and a host of other things which’ enter into the daily living of a family, while a man on a farm can produce all these things named and have them of the very best. The town man finds that a salary looks like 20 cents when he has bought all these necessaries of ltvine, The government can sometimes in- terfere with the common business of the people to their great advantage. In France the government assumes to reg- ulate the breeding of the horse, and none save sires registered by the gov- ernment is used. The result fs that all the world goes to France for its fine draft sires. The Danish government takes a hand in the creamery business of that country and by compelling the selentific education of the dairymen and butter makers and inspection of the product monopolizes the English mar- ket, To some extent American enter- prise is accomplishing here what legal and governmental interference Is. ac- complishing there, but as yet not in nearly go efficient a manner. Beauty and Utility. We have growing on the lawn a Wenlthy anple tree which is very at- tractive and symmetrical in appearance. and, looking at it, we are impressed with the fact that we might often set out valuable fruit trees for ornament and shade in place of the other kinds which bear no fruit, ‘There is no hand- somer lawn tree than the cherry if ‘properly eared for, with its thick and glossy foliage, profuse bloom and rare red fruit. We lately passed by the town residence of a man who had set a row of apple trees in front of his home out- side the sidewalk, and they were pro- ducing lots of nice apnles for him and the puclic as well. Where utility can | be practically combined with beauty {t should always be done. ‘The increasing use of machinery on the farm has of course inereased the number of accidents happening to the men who operate it, but after all we have noted that more men have been killed this year by sliding off from loads of hay and grain on to pitchforks than in any other way, It 1s no small thing in his favor that the farmer never has to sell his produce on tick or keen book accounts or dun ‘or sue people, He just expects and gets the cash for all he has to sell, while the merchant has to charge things and carry a ine of credit which often amounts to as much as his capital stock, One of the best farm tenants we have come across is a Swede with a large family. He has worked the same farm for 13° years and has always made money for his landlord and for himself, while the farm is in a more productive state than ever before. This landlord is wise enough to treat his tenant liber- ‘ally, furnishing him good stock and ‘Seed and such a share of the crop and farm income that his tenant can pros- ‘Per. The dairy and chickens kept on this place alone constitute a gretty good income. How He Got a Start. Ten years ago he was a common la- borer living in a small Western town, He had a wife and four children, and, as his labor was of the unskilled sort, he rarely received more than $1.50 per day. Deducting his lost time, his aver age earnings were not over $400 per Year. It is easy to see that with such @ small income he would have but little left after barely supporting himself and family. He had the honorable ambl- ton to do something better; but, being without capital to make a start, it seem- ed to be a hopeless case. Finally he hit on this plan: He rented five acres of good land near his home at $6 per acre. He hired a man to plow and drag it, then he planted one acre of onions, one acre of cabbage, one acre of pota- toes, one arce of popcorn, half an acre of turnips and half an acre of melons and cucumbers. Aside from what he Paid out to have some horse cultiva- tion of the crop he, with his wife and children, took care of these crops. Now hore is the result: Three hundred bush- els of onions at 70 cents, $210; cabbage crop, $80; potatoes, $50; popcorn, $45; turnips, $20; melons and cucumbers, $00; a total of $465, or as much, deduct ing what he paid out for rent and help, as he had ever earned in a year when working for others by the day. In ad- dition he had all his family wanted to use of the crops grown, and the entire crop had grown and disposed of inside of five months, leaving him seven months to work out as he had always done. Of course he could have done better if he had had his own team and tools. ‘The case Ie cited. just to show What a man can do who has absolutely nothing but his hands to work with. It proved a getting out of the woods, a step in advance for him, and others may do the same thing, ‘perhaps not Guite so well. hethane hettes, A Wet Summer’s Compensations. While crop losses were severe and almost total in valley locations during the past summer by reason of the un- usual floods all through the West and Northwest territory, the compensations of a wet season are not to be over- looked. Throughout all the region so drenched five previous years of short rainfall ruined the water powers, made brooks of the rivers, dried up the springs, exhausted the subsoil moisture, converted lake beds into cornfields, Killed the trees both in grove and orch- ard and ruined the pastures. The down- fall of 36 inches of water and In many localities much more during the months of May, June, July and August has wrought out a marvelous transforma- tion. The rivers are once more bank full, every spring a-spouting, the earth sattirated to a depth of ten feet or more, the lake bed cornfield is converted into a lake once more, all tree life has made a phenomenal ‘growth, and pastures have been knee deep, as in June, all summer. It fs all in line with nature's way of balancing things up, and all will feel better to think of the blessings brought by the rains rather than on the losses they may have entailed. MEN AND WOMEN, Forced to abandon all literary work during the summer because of con- tinued illness, Dr Cyrus Townsend Brady, the author, has undergone an operation at his home in New York, ‘The surgeons did not disclose the na- ture of the operation, but announced tnat it was a complete success. Captain W. L. Rice, who has been mayor of Bristol, Tenn., ever since that place became a city, resigned the other day, pleading that being 70 years of age he was getting too old to properly 1 the place. In response to general desire among the citizens he has just withdrawn his resigna- tion and will serve out his term, Pixley Ka Isaaka Seme, the first Zulu to enter an American’ university, has succeeded in passing the severe entrance examination at Columbia and has matriculated for an eight years’ course in medicine and sur- gery.

Ledoux, an assayer of world-wide repute, recently undertook to ascertain the exact amount of copper which was available in the entire world in the hands of metal dealers. ‘This amount he found to be less than 90,000 tons.

Factory's Furnaces Fed With Rose- wood, Ebony and Boxwood. People have turned to everything for fuel during the coal famine brought on by tho present strike, but it is doubtful if the furnaces of more than one fac- tory are fed by costly imported woods, where every ton burned means a value of from $30 to $40 gone up in smoke. ‘The one firm in question ts located in Cambridgeport. Its engineers have found that hard woods like ebony, rose- wood, boxwood and lgnum-vitae, well seasoned, burn almost as well as coal. ‘The only precaution which they take is not to burn coal and wood at the eame time. They stoke their fires with $10 wood fuel part of the time and with Scurcely less expensive coal fuel the rest of the time, On the face of it, it may look as if the concern’s managers are throwing away (or burning up) good money, but with them it is a plain business propo- sition. As one of ther explained this morning, they have unusual storage room, and for many years have been constantly in the market to buy. Dur- ing the course of this time they have pleked up a large amount of wood at extremely low prices, When, for in- stance, the National Mahogany and Ce- dar company was formed of several of the most prominent New York and Bos- ton wood concerns the individual firms composing them had a general selling- out of stock, and when the same trust disintegrated a short time later, there was another sale, and at both of these the Cambridgeport company profited in good Wood at reduced prices. So if fine hardwood, worth $40 a ton, cost them than here. It sounds epigramatic to use it under their boilers rather than buy bituminous coal at very nearly that price, or anthracite coal at half as much again.—Boston Evening Transcript. A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM, Bridgeport, Wash., Oct. 20th.—Rheu- matism and Kidney Trouble seem to be the prevailing ailments in this ter- ritory and particularly in Douglas County. A remarkable and plainly sure cure has, however, recently been introduced, It ie called Dodd's Kidney Pills and although but a short time on the mar- ket, it has already worked many won- derful cures, One of the most striking of these is that of Mr, John Higgins, who for a long time suffered with Rheumatism ‘and Kidney Trouble. The pains of these diseases had combined to make his life very miserable indeed, and he could get nothing to do him any good till he heard of this new remedy. He tells his experience with it in these words: “Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done more for my Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble than anything else I have ever used. There is more virtue in them than in any other medicine and I will always highly recommend them to all of my friends.” TOPAZ WEIGHING TWO POUNDS. Huge Brazilian Gem May Find Its ‘Way to the Vatican.

A Neapolitan artist. seeing the stone, begged to be allowed to engrave the figure of Christ on it it cameo, The work is now finished and Signor Car- elli has been looking for a purchaser. ‘The value of the jewel is, however, 80 great that even the pope, to whom it was offered, could not afford to buy it, ‘A committee has been formed in Na- ples, it is reported, with the purpose of buying the jewel from its present own- er by public subscription and offering It to Leo XIII as a jubilee present. It is to be hoped, therefore, that thls won- derful treastire will be seen by visitors to the Vatican museum. Signor Car- olli declares there is no other such stone in the world. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was aupposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis fase and prescribed local remedies, and hy constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

They are the principal fuel for domestic use in the cities, and are also used for firing locomotives and en- gines for manufacturi, purposes, The output of this fuel for 1901 was over a million end a half tons, and the pres- ent price at which it is sold is a little above $3.

The Children’s Panacea—The Mother's Friend, The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of ¢ ¢ ¢ : ‘? In Use For Over 30 Years. , ; KING EDWARD'S LIFE. Thousands of Insurance Policies Have Been Issued on It. A recent London news item says that thousands of insurance policies on the life of the king have been {s- sued during the past year; that the in- surance which was at first taken by people who had business _ interests which would be specially affected by the life or death of the king has ex- tended to others who are mere gam- piers and take the insurance merely ag a gambling speculation. This item says that there are thousands now gembling on the life of their ruler. ‘The rates on the king's life are also stated to have been raised, when the magnitude of these insurance specu- lations began to increase, until it went up from 3 per cent to 10'per cent, and most of the policies are said to have been made for a short time, and de- signed to run only long enough to in- clude the coronation.: It {s possible that there are some features of these insurance policies on the king’s life that have not been fully explained to us on this side of the water, But, un- 1ess the news concerning them is al- together untrue, the insurance compa- nies in England are carrying on a bus- iness that in this country would be ‘deemed utterly vold and peculiarly pernicious. Without any regard to the question of the king's consent to ‘such insurance, which, of course, he does not give, many of the insurance polictes, if they are at all such as the news items from London have de- scribed, are contrary to the public pol- fey recogn.zed by the courts of this country, because they are issued to people who have no insurable inter- est. If the English courts uphold policies of this kind they furnish one striking instance, at least, in which the unwritten law of that’ country is ‘on a lower level than that of this country, It has often been said that gambling is far more general in Eng- iand than in this country, but it does ‘not seem possible that the English courts can regard it as a legitimate branch of the insurance business.— Case and Comment. A KLONDIKE AMUSEMENT. It is an Eskimo Race With Dogs—De- scription by a Traveler. “Yes, the Klondike country is in a much more settled state than it was three years ago, when I first went there,” remarked C. H, Johnson at the Brown Palace hotel. “Mr. Johnson is just returning from a three year’s trip to the gold fields in Alaska and is re- turning much richer than when he left Atlanta, Ga., his home. “One thing that amused me very much,” he continued, “was the way the miners in that region had of en- tertaining themselves. For a small sum, one can hire a couple of the Es: kimos with their dog sledges to run a race, but there must always be a prize for the winner, in addition to the sum agreed upon in the beginning. “I remember the first race I ever oeheld, was from Fort Yukon down the river 25 miles and return, These two men, Aluluk and Nowekakat, by name, had relays of dogs placed every ten miles, always reserving the best dogs for the last relay. Well, it seems that there was considerable rivalry between these two, for the af fections of an Indian girl, and conse quently not the best of feeling be tween them, “On the day of the race both mer had borrowed from their friends al the best dogs for miles around, and the indications were that we would see a good race, and we Were not dis appointed. After much wrangling be tween the two, and much yelping by the dogs, they got started, and what a sight it was, Each man lying at full Tength on his sledge and yelling at his dogs, as though his life depend. ed on it. “All went well until the last relay, when the friends of one man attempt: ad to foul his opponent by throwing slubs over the ice in front of the dogs and causing a general fight, in which many heads were broken. ' This, of sourse, caused some delay and allow- ad Alukuk to gain the lead. This ead he kept until within 100 yeards of the finish, When Nowikakat forced ais dogs until the sledges were neck ind neck, and he finally won by about chree feet.” “Who got the girl: Why she wouldn't have anything to with either, out went away with a balf breed In- lian trader.”"—Denver Republican, NTRALN. U.------ NO, 84-02 SCOTLAND'S PROGRESS. ‘The Census Shows a Healthy Growth, Notwithstanding Emigration. Notwithstanding the emigration, Scotland has still a plenty of the old stock left, as appears from the last census of Great Britain. On March 1, 1901, recording to the returns which have just been made public, the popu- lation of Scotland was 4,472,103, of whom 2,178,755 were males and 2,298,- 348 females. ‘The total increase since the consus of 1901 was 11.09 per cent. ‘There are 150 inhabitants for every one of the 29,796 square miles of which Scotland consists. About seventy per- cent of the population lives in towns. Some of the counties are very sparsely populated. Sutherland, for instance, having only eleven inhabitants to the ‘square mile, ‘The genstis shows that 28,106 inhabi- tants of the Highlands of Scotland can- not speak English, their language be- ing the Gaelic. In addition, 202,700 Seotchmen and women who can speak ‘English use the Gaelic language when not conversing with the Anglo-Saxon, ‘The economic condition of the people shows a slight improvement since the census of 1891. In that year 22.16 per cent of the Scotch families resided in dwellings having only one room. In 1901 the percentage had fallen to 17.61 Andrew Carnegie has given the people of his native land $10,000,000 for the education of young men unable to pay their way through the Scottish uni- versities, That was a splendid bene- faction and ought to be a most useful one. Yet, it is said, many Scotchmen regret that the endowment has been made, fearing that their sons will be less studious than they were when an edneation could be obtained only through the great sacrifices of parents. This ought not to be the result of Mr. Jarnegie’s munificence. ‘The Scotch are ‘a strong, self-reliant, progressive peo- ‘ple. It is not probable that the ris- ing goneration, which has inherited so many fine qualities will be less studl- ous Or ambitious or resolute of purpose because Mr. Carnegie has made it easier for young Scotchmen to enjoy the ad- vantages ‘of university training.—From ‘The Baltimore Sun.

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 is 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. Sold by Druggists, 75c. Hall's Family Pills are the best. Boone County apples. The largest apples we have ever seen grown in Missouri was exhibited at this office Friday by S. G. H. Strickler, who found them on his farm near Deer Park. They were of the Ben Davis variety, measured 15 and $15\%$ inches and weighed $16\%$ and $18\%$ ounces respectively. The two placed on exhibition were half of the full crop of one tree, there being only four apples matured thereon. Verily Boone county is rapidly becoming known as a great fruit center, and is distinctly a part of that famous Missouri section known as "The land of the big red apple." The day following Mr. A. F. Lewis, of Sapp, was in town with a load of the finest Gano apples we have seen this year, which he sold readily for $1.00 a bushel. The best orchard in the county for the production of highly colored apples is that of Mr. Lewis, which is underlaid with limestone rock which contains a quantity of iron ore; this, Mr. Lewis says imparts the rich dark color, which characterizes his apples. Besides this, Mr. Lewis understands the cultivation of the various fruit crops—apples, pears, peaches, etc., and always has some of these for sale early in the season. So far as quality of fruit is concerned, he is beyond question the apple king of the county, though others produce greater quantities of fruit. Speaking of apples, it might be well to remark that Boone county ought to produce enough apples for its own consumption. Every year thousands of bushels are shipped out in the fall, and later the merchants import apples in large quantities and retail them to the people for fabulous prices. If the crop could be kept at home, the people could avoid the extremely high prices later in the season. Some efforts have been made to do this, but we do not know with what success. It is understood that Mr. Nifong of the Columbia Ice & Cold Storage plant, has just imported about 400 bushels of apples from Howard county for his cold storage plant. It seems to us that several thousand bushels could be stored there and marketed at profitable prices. Notice! Notice! We will give $1.00 in cash for the best half bushel of potatoes raised in Boone county, delivered at our store. THE COLUMBIA GROCERY CO. Y. M. C. A. Last Sabbath. Last Sabbath afternoon, Rev. Charles M. Sharpe who for two weeks past has been holding a series of interesting and largely attended meetings in the Christian Church, delivered by request in the University auditorium a sermon to the Young Men's Christian Association composed of students of the University. Very few of our citizens were present, but the students were out in very respectable force. Wm. H. Goodson presided and introduced the speaker. Hymnal services were accompanied by the piano. Mr. Sharpe's sermon or address—call it what you may—was very well delivered, for he is a fluent, entertaining and forceful speaker, one who is heard without effort on the part of his auditors. It was a remarkably able and appropriate address and received the earnest and unflagging attention of all present. He did not consume time in giving advice to the young men, but by directing their attention to the temptations which beset the pathway of students absent from home at College, and in forceful and eloquent diction sought to impress them with the great responsibilities which will very soon confront them as citizens of the State. He certainly inspired them, regardless of their environments, difficulties and business or professional ambition, to covet above all else the highest christian citizenship, personal honor and individual usefulness in their day and generation. Mr. Butler Didn't Say It. I see in the daily St. Louis papers a conversation I had with Col. Butler in front of the hotel at Columbia, where, they say, I was asked by him what was the principal industry of Columbia, and I said; "Our principal support comes from our educational interests," and as for his saying "that is a hell of an occupation," is all untrue. He never said it, but asked the price of lands and so forth in our county and I referred him to Mr. Fielding Smith, who gave him the information, being a real estate man. Yours respectfully, W. T.
