Highly Praised Gurthrie, Okla.—The highest degree of praise is given the Negro Agricultural and Normal University at Langston by John L. Mitch, clerk of the board of regents of that school, in his annual report to the board, just made public. In regards to its work as an Industrial school, the report states that there is no better in the state. He recommenns that the tendency of the course of study be directed very strongly toward the practical and industrial lines, which are adapted to help the student to make their way in life. He also recommends the purchase of an additional section of land, in order that the agricultural work may be extended. The school now has but 160 acres, and more room is needed especially for the experimental work which was instituted during the year at the suggestion of Mr. Mitch. A large assortment of field and garden seed was secured from the department of agriculture and the results from each kind carefully watched and compared, in order to decide upon the varieties best fitted. The school now has five buildings valued at $55,000, and a new main building at a cost of $65,000 is now in course of constriction to replace the one destroyed by fire last year. It receives about $3,500 annually from the United States out of the Morill fund and about the same amount from school land lease money, the remainder of the amount needed to support the school being appropriated by the state. Its budget includes a request for appropriations of $115,445 for the coming biennium, $70, 555 for the year ending June 30, 1910, and $44,000 for the year ending June 30, 1911. The first year's appropriation includes: Officers of regents $700; faculty $22,640; employees $6,990, general expense, $20,550; waterworks improvements $6,275; other improvements and repairs $13,310. BODY TURNED TO STONE Remarkable State of Petrification Found by St. Louis Disinterment. St. Louis Mo. —Special. When tee body of Willirm Kreisler buried ten days ago was disinterred the body, the clothidg on the body and the casket were found to have turned to stone. The coffin and its contents looked a s if they might have been carved out of marble. The process of petrification must have been exceeding ly rapid for their were no signs o f decay. The features were perfect and the clothing was intact even the tie a nd collar were a s perfect formed as though he w n write a chisl by a sculptor- The same was true of she coffin which did not have even a mentle interior. It was of wood through out and the panel work was preserved in the turning to-stone process MR TAFT AND THE COLOR ED CITIZEN. A well known colored resident of the state — a man of marked natural ability and educational acquirements who is an eatest student and thoughtful observer of all matters and events connected with the welfare of the Negro in this country expresses the following views in a personal letter which has fallen under our obser vation. I believe the election of Hon. William H. Taft as president is a district blessing to the clack citizenship. I may differ from the many in my conception of tha t blessing but that personal view may well be left to the care of future development It is the future that completes all works of human urgin. I may say this much however that I shall hold to the opinion that the colored man of be progressive must first be responsiv. Exceptional are powerless to promote general advancement for just as sure as logical makes it a rule for reasoners to desend from the universal t o the particular so will the race be required to deversity and gesnerlized before it can command an average of excellent nad thus invite comparisons founded on truth in stead of concession. The colored man must help himself and so poing help the race and he can best d o that by giving force t o Mr. Hays admonition Shine where you are. I believe that Mr. Taft will welcome that spirit of s el consciousness and will go a s his aurthority will permit t o make good his sympathies i like to recall some of his expressions uttered in the last campaign. O n one notable occasion addressed a colored audience Mr Taft remarked that the Negro will settle t he race problem himself To abandon all barren polits is one o l the ways Another way is to encourage aud support in south the men who have ths power t o public sentiment aud who are them selhumance and consider" — Ex. LAWRENCE shall find all things added unto him. And let u s consecrate o u r sleves to this great aim this ye, r and ask that we might be tr u e and faithful day by day, falteridg not growing weary but remember that though t he eagle in a y faint and fall ths who trusts in him shall mount up with wings that shall never faint and in the final day may we all gather the great Tabernacle above with Father Moses Dickerson and all the Daughters and loved o n e s where parting shall be n o more.

London.—Marked honor recently has been paid to the late Sir George Williams, founder of the Young Men's Christian association. A splendid monument erected to his memory now stands in the crypt of St. Paul's cathedral—a fitting site, as it was in close proximity to this spot that the original foundation of the Y. M. C. A. took place. The association, which began on a capital of $3, to-day numbers SIR GEORGE WILLIAMS 1821 - 1903 MY LAST LEGACY AND IT IS A PRECIOUS ONE IN THE YOUNG MEN CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION I LEAVE IT TO BE BLOVED, YOUNG GREAT OF MANY COUNTRIES TO CARRY ON AND TO ESTEN Monument Erected in London to the Memory of Sir George Williams. 820,643 members and controls buildings and real estate to the value of more than $50,000,000. It is one of the most flourishing organizations in the world; despite the fact that hosts of other attempts on similar lines have proved utter failures. To the personality of Sir George Williams himself is attributed a large part of the wonderful success of the Y. M. C. A., and yet, though his name is so widely known, he always kept the personal element in the background. After his death it was found that every particle of his correspondence had been destroyed as if he deprecated publishing his achievement to the world. Though the Y. M. C. A. rests to-day on so solid a foundation it was not always in such an enviable position; and, had it not been for the personal self sacrifices of its founder, it is very doubtful if the organization would have weathered many of the severe crises through which it passed. The scene of its beginning was an upper room of a big dry goods store—that of Hitchcock & Rogers—which stood in St. Paul's church yard in 1844. Young Williams was a clerk in that establishment and though but 20 years of age, he exerted a powerful religious influence on those with whom he came in contact. He persuaded several fellow clerks to join him in prayer once or twice a week in the dormitory of the establishment, most of the clerks in those days, as now, "sleeping in." As to the actual founding of the Young Men's Christian association as such, it came into being at a meeting held on June 6, 1844, with a capital—collected on the spot—of $3.12; and the first circular letter, addressed to young employees in London, was posted a few days later, young Williams and his friends scarcely having sufficient money even to pay for postage and stationery. However, the dominating personality of George Williams carried everything before it, and the Y. M. C. A. was launched in spite of all difficulties. After "capturing" London, and then the rest of England, the Y. M. C. A. idea was taken up in the United States, and in 1876 Sir George Williams visited that country and was received with great demonstrations everywhere. It was after becoming firmly established in the United States that the Christian associations became a world-wide movement. For his work in connection with this organization Queen Victoria conferred a knighthood on the founder during her jubilee year, 1897. A Messenger's Message. "Sam," ask the first messenger boy, "got any novels to swap?" "I got 'Big Foot Bill's Revenge,'" replied the other. "Is it a long story?"

After we have eudevered to do our duty for the past twelve month another year has passed and by the" Providence of Cod we are still spared This is the first meeting in the New Year I know not how you may feel but finding ourselves with so many years experience in this grand and noble work we ought to began to appreciate the meaning and value of the Tabernacle more each day not that the work is becoming tiresome not that we have any fear what the coming time may bring but only teat they seem to us to meen to carry with years mor of high and noble possibility. What ever else life means it means this We are travelling toward some goal. Let us then reconside for a while as to what our lives are and what they ought to be. If thep havent been what they ought it is time to reconsz the fact and try plant our feet in the right way if they have been what they ought it is to consider ouaselves afresh to making them mean even now in the future than the past. During the yast year our chain has not been broken 'we a s true Daughters should take a new resolution Think of the power anb influence there in this word resolution for good or evil How often one is bent on a resolution for th good proper food to sustain the noble purp contains contend for rights until we are able to look up through disapointment and discouragement see that resolute purpose unfurl the breeze of victory Let us as true Daughters cling to the right and be found condeming shurning the appercuces of evil, how often we have seen the noble resolution go down in, dispare simply for want of properly reasoned food to sustain and to strenghen resolution. Let us resolve to cultive lofty ideas to lift up the fallen thae we by our sisterly love for each other defend the right condem the waong Let good cope for better pews loving momens, Then slowly but surely we will be loving moments of good Let us be bent on such of honored resolution of good and thus cherish and influence that will live through our life Just of the results of vice and crime from a bad resolution tis sad to think of the pain and shame arises the wicked thought an evil resolutin onced passed in action often the results of an evil resolution time without numper that bad resolution robs us from home freinds and happiness nestroy that loving contenance and good fawns and leaves us physical wrecks the effects as and evil resolution we should strive to bring piece out of confusion we should do more in the future for up building our Order.

GEORGE W. PECK ASSISTS AT A BUFFALO HUNT UNION BANK Pa Had to Put His Foot on Their Necks and Acknowledge Himself Their King and Protector. COULDN'T FOOL HIM When Pa told us that he had located a place where we could get all the wild African buffalo that we wanted, I thought of the pictures I had seen of the killing of buffalos in America, where all the buffalo hunter had to do was to ride a horse after a herd of the animals, that couldn't run faster than a yoke of oxen, pick out a big bull and ride long side of him and fire bullets into his vital parts at about ten feet range, until his liver was filled full of holes, and he had the nose bleed, and when he fell down from loss of blood, dismount and skin him for a lap robe. The American buffalo would always run away and the hunter could kill him if he had cartridges enough, and never be in any more danger than a farmer milking a cow. I thought we would have about the same kind of experience with African buffalo, only we intended to lasso them, and bring them to camp alive for the show business, but instead of the African buffalo running away from you, he runs at you on sight, and tries to gouge out your inside works with his horns, and paws you with his hoofs, and when he gets you down he kneels down on you, and runs horns all through your system, and rolls over on your body like a setter dog rolling on an old dead fish. The African buffalo has a grouch, as though he had indigestion, from eating cactus thorns, and when he sees a man his eyes blaze with fire, and he gets as crazy as an anarchist, and seems to combine in his makeup the habits of the hyena, the tiger, the man-eating shark and the Texas rattle-snake. I wouldn't want such an animal for Pa Had to Put His Foot on Their Neck King and a pet, but Pa said the way to get buffalo was to go after them, and never let up until you had them under your control. So we started out under Pa's lead to capture African buffalo, and while the returns are not all in of the dead and wounded, we know that our expedition is pretty near used up. The African buffalos live in a marsh, where the grass and cane grow high above them, and the only way you can tell where they are is to watch the birds flying around and alighting on the backs of the animals to eat wood ticks and gnats. The marsh is so thick with weeds that a man cannot go into it, so we planned to start the airship on the windward side of the marsh, after lining up the whole force of helpers, negroes and white men, and building a corral of timber on the lee side of the marsh. Pa and the cowboy and I went in the airship, with these honk-honk horns they have on automobiles, and these megaphones that are used at football games, and Pa had a bunch of Roman candles to scare the buffalos. When the fence was done, which 50 men had worked on for a week, it run in the shape of a triangle, or a fish net, with a big corral at the middle. Mr. Hagenbach sent up a rocket to COULDN'T Once a denizen of the up-state regions, where whiskers grow in plenty and umbrellas bulge at will, decided to visit New York. But he decided to visit the bewildering metropolis quite as a man of the world—not to be taken in by the wicked men, who, as he understood, made a business of deceiving the gulleless upstater. Hence he arrived at the Grand Central looking very, very wise, and ```markdown ``` notify Pa that he was ready to have him scare the buffalos out of the marsh and down the fence into the corral. Pa had the gas bag all full, a mile across the marsh, tied to a tree with a slip noose, so when we all got set he could pull a string and untie the slip noose. Well, everything worked bully, and when Pa tied her loose we went up into the air about 50 feet, and Pa steered the thing up and down the marsh like a pointer dog ranging a field for chickens. It was the greatest sight I ever witnessed, seeing more than 200 buffalo heads raise up out of the tall grass and watch the airship, looking as savage as lions eating raw meat. First they never moved at all, but we began to blow the honk horns, and then we yelled through the megaphones to "get out of there, you sawed off short horns," and then they began to move away from the airship across the marsh, and we followed until they began to get into a herd, nearly on the other side of the marsh, but they only walked fast, splashing through the mud. When we got almost across the marsh Pa said now was the time to fire the Roman candles, so we each lit our candle, and the fire and smoke and the fire balls fairly scorched the hair of the buffalos in the rear of the herd, and in a jiffy the whole herd stamped out of the marsh right toward the fence, bellowing in African language, scared half to death, the first instance on record that an African buffalo was afraid of anything on earth. We followed them until they got to cks and Acknowledge Himself Their Protector. the fence, but only about 100 got into the corral, the others going around the fence and chasing the keepers into the jungle and hooking the negroes in the pants, and some of the negroes are running yet, and will no doubt come out at Cairo, Egypt. Mr. Hagenbach and the white men got up in trees, and watched Pa and the airship, and when we got where the fence narrowed up at the corral Pa let the airship come down to the ground, and anchored it to a stump and yelled for the boss of the expedition and the men to come down out of the trees and help capture some of the best specimens, so they came down and tore out the wings of the fence and placed them across so we had the buffalos in a pen, and then Mr. Hagenbach, who had been getting a little jealous of Pa, came up to him and shook his hand and told him he was a wonder in the capturing of wild animals, and Pa said don't mention it, and Pa took the makings and made himself a cigarette and smoked up, and Mr. Hagenbach asked Pa how we were going to get the buffalos out of the corral cause they were fighting other in the far end of the pen, and Pa said you just wait, and he sent for the cages, enough to hold about ten FOOL HIM proceeded, first of all, to visit the collection of wax figures at the Eden musee. He was engaged in looking critically at one of the most life-like groups on exhibition there, when a policeman suddenly plucked him by the sleeve. The up-stater turned. "You mustn't smoke in here," said the policeman, severely. A look of wisdom beyond the power of words to describe came over that up-stater's face. Con- WIGHITY SEARTHLIGHT of the buffalos, and we let the gas out of the airship, and went into camp, right there, and Pa bossed things for about two days, until the buffalos got good and hungry, and then we backed the cages up to an opening in the fence and put hay in the far end of the cages, and the herd began to take notice. - We wanted the big bulls and some cows, and nature helped us on the bulls, 'cause they fought the weaker ones away from the cages, and walked right up the incline into the cages, and Pa went in and locked the doors, and THE BULLS Some of Those Negroes Are Running Yet, and Will No Doubt Come Out at Cairo, Egypt. when we got the cages full of bulls and started to haul the cages to camp by the aid of some of the negroes who had returned alive, by jingo, the cows followed the cages with the bulls in, and you couldn't drive them away. We loaded the gas bag on to a sort of stone boat, and Pa rigged up a couple of ox yokes and in some way hypnotized a few cow buffalos, so he could drive them, and they hauled the stone boat with the airship to camp and we got there almost as soon as the cages did, and Pa was smoking as contented as though he was walking on Broadway, and with an ox gad he would larup the oxen and say: "Haw, Buck," like a farmer driving oxen to plow a field. Pa got his wild oxen so tame before we got to camp that they would eat hay out of his hand, and when we rounded up in our permanent camp, and looked over our stock, and killed some of the buffalos that had followed the cages, for meat for the negroes, and lit some sky rockets and fired them at the balance of the herd to drive them away from camp, the negroes, who had always had a horror of meeting wild buffalos, thought Pa was a superior being, to be able to tame a whole herd of the most savage animals, and they got down on their knees and placed their faces in the dust in front of Pa and worshiped him, and they wouldn't get up off the ground until Pa had gone around and put his feet on the necks of all the negroes in token that he acknowledged himself to be their king and protector, and the wives of the negroes all threw their arms around Pa and hugged him until he got tired, and he said he had rather fight buffalos than be hugged by half-naked negro women that hadn't had a bath since Stanley discovered them, but Pa appreciated the honor, and Mr. Hagenbach said Pa was the greatest man in the world. The next day we shipped the buffalos to the coast, and had them sent to Berlin, and when we got the mail from headquarters there was an order for a lot more tigers, so I suppose we will be tigering as soon as the open season is on. The idea is that we must get all the animals we can this year, for it is rumored that Roosevelt is coming to Africa next year to shoot big game, and all of us feel that wild animals will be scarce after he has devastated Africa. We got short of salt pork and some time ago Pa salted down some sides of rhinoceros, and yesterday was the day to open the barrel. Pa showed the cooks how to fry rhinoceros pork, and I tell you it made you hungry to smell rhinoceros frying, and with boiled potatoes and ostrich eggs, and milk gravy, made from elephant's milk, we lived high, but the next day an epidemic broke out, and they laid it to Pa's rhinoceros pork dinner, but Pa says any man who eats eight or nine fried ostrich eggs is liable to indigestion.

W. N. MILLER, Editor. Makes One of the Daintiest of All Breakfast Dishes. An omelet, made with finely chopped cold ham and chopped parsley, forms a dainty breakfast dish. Chop finely some pieces of cold ham and add a teaspoonful of chopped parsley and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Well whisk the whites and yolks of two eggs separately, add the beaten yolks to the chopped ham and just before cooking the omelet, quickly stir in the whites previously beaten to a stiff broth. Put a good sized piece of butter into the omelet pan and when the butter has melted, pour in the omelet. Stir the omelet with a spoon or fork one way till it begins to thicken and when the under part is nicely browned, turn the omelet over in oval-shape and serve immediately. BREAKFAST OR LUNCH DISH. Stuffed Kidneys a Welcome Addition to the Menu. Four or six small kidneys, two tablespoonfuls of butter, two ounces of bread crumbs, one teaspoonful chopped parsley, pepper and salt and a little lemon juice. Skin the kidneys and split them lengthwise, but not quite through. Leave enough to act as a sort of hinge. Rub them inside with melted butter, and broil them over a clear fire for ten minutes. Have ready the stuffing of crumbs, parsley and butter, well seasoned with salt and pepper. Heat in a small saucepan and add the lemon juice. Dish the kidneys and put some of this mixture inside each. Fold them over, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve very hot. Brown Bread Pudding. Take about half a loaf of bread and cut into slices, or use left-over pieces; spread each piece with butter and lay in a pan. Pour over this enough cold water to cover well and let soak about five minutes. In the meantime break one egg into your pudding pan and beat it well; add one-half cup brown sugar, one-half corn sirup, one-third teaspoon each of cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg, powdered; then lightly squeeze out the water from the bread by handfuls, crumbling it into the other mixture. Be careful to get all the butter that may come off into the water. Mix well and bake one hour. Sauce: One quart water, butter size of a walnut, half cup vinegar, 'three-fourths cup sugar; iet boil a few minutes and thicken with two tablespoons flour rubbed smooth in a little cold water. Take from stove and add one teaspoonful vanilla. To Clean Sponges. Soiled sponges can be quickly freshened by rubbing the juice of a lemon well into them then rinsing several times, first in hot water and then in cold. Too much care cannot be taken to keep a sponge absolutely fresh, as microbes are apt to congregate otherwise. An occasional sunbath is excellent and a thorough washing with ammonia water every few weeks should not be omitted. In using a sponge for a young child, or indeed for anyone, no matter how carefully it is supposed to be washed, it should be run through very hot water before using. Ham Fritters. Heat to boiling point one cupful of stock. Thicken with a tablespoonful each of flour and butter cooked together, and add to it one cupful of cold cooked chopped ham, one egg well beaten, and dry mustard and Worces tershire sauce to season. Supplement to The SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA, } = = = KANS Should Men Taik Business at Home? One of the real reasons of divorce of interest between men and women of this country is that women do not take an interest in their husband’s business. Business veres most American women. We are too idealistic and too intellec- tual to care for its sordid details. Busi- ness does more than bore us; sooner or later the average woman grows to dislike business, and for a good reason, it is her rival in her husband’s Interest and affections, says the writer of an article entitled “The Inconsequential American Woman,” in Appleton’s America is full of sad-eyed and well dressed women who complain that their husbands’ lives they would stare business” that they have no interest left for anything else. If you were to suggest to these women that they had once been given a chance to share in their h usbands' lives they would stare at you in surprise, It would be useless ‘to tell such a woman that she might have been a consulting partner in her husband’s business had she wished. To this she has the reply, “Man ought to leave his business cares in his office.” ‘That is, a man’s brain should be neatly divided into two parts; he should be able to switch off the thoughts which have occupied his business hours the way in which one extinguishes an elec- trie light. He should at'the same mo- ment switeh on the other half of his brain where should burn brightly with affection for his wife, love of amuse- ment and desire for that kind of relax- ation which his wife enjoys. The great majority of men have been made to be- Meve that they should not “bring bust- ness home,” so great is the power of reiterated suggestion. They actually think that it would not please them to have their wives take an intelligent in- terest in their pressing affairs. In accordance with plans of the war department, Surgeon General Q'Reilly has recently enlisted a large number of the most skilful and noted surgeons and physicians in an army medical re- serve corps. The physicians were drawn from all over the couatry, a tew here and a few there, and were chosen solely for their ability. In time of "peace they will receive no compensa- tion, although they may be called upon for consultation or advice. In time of war they will receive the regular pay of their rank, which will be lieutenant, majer, lieutenant colonel and colonel. This, however, is no temptation to men of such a class. Ty have allowed themselves to be enlisted in the re- serve corps solely as a matter of patri- otic duty, and for the purpose of strengthening and improving the army medical service. The Romanes lecture which Presi- dent Roosevelt has been chosen to de- liver at Oxford university in 1910 is given under the provisions of a bequest of the late George John Romanes, an eminent biologist. The lectureship was founded in 1891 for the purpose of giv- ing the Oxford students an opportunity each year to hear a man of general em- inence in art, literature or science, or one who had special claims for distinc. tion in discussing some subject of high interest at the time. The first lecture was given by Gladstone. Among his successors have been Holman Hunt, Huxley, John Morley and Ambassador Bryce. Next year Mr. Balfour, the for- mer British premier, will give the lec- ture. Count Boni De Castellane has with- drawn his suit against his former wife for alimony. Considering that she ob- tained the divorce, the withdrawal of a demand for support is not altogether magnanimous; but it may be regarded so by himself and family, as the Ameri- can girl who had nothing in their eyes to entitle her to the honor of an al- Hance with them but her money was given distinctly to understand that was all she was married for. But this so - did picture of vulgar greed is not de- terring other American heiresses from tempting the same fate. One of the little tragedies of the Boxer uprising im China has just come to light. The young American woman who painted the portrait of the late em- press dowager wrote recently of the sittings, and mentions the long finger nails of her distinguished subject. In the hurried flight from Peking they were injured, and had to be cut, and the artist remarks in a tone which sug. gests a sigh, “They were only about three inches long when I painted the nietuee.” Tragedy in New Jersey. A woman going from one room to another fn her house met the harmless, necessary cat carrying a mouse; whereupon the wom- an screamed and fell dead. The story, however, is imperfect. The scream must have startled and surprised the cat, and what we are really curious to know is whether the mouse escaped? —— The National Good Roads association was organized by delegates trom 38 states in national convention in Chi- cago.

HOLDS BIG FINE OF TEXAS. In Addition to Paying Penalty of $1, 623,000, the Oil Company is Ousted From State. | Washington, D. C.—The supreme court of the United States Monday affirmed the decree of the state courts of Texas imposing a fine of $1,623,900 on the Waters-Pierce Oil company of St. Louis and ousting it from the state on the charge of violating the Texas anti-trust law. ‘The court also sustained the action of the Texas state court in the ap- pointment of Robert J. Eckhart as re- ceiver, and thus again decided against the company which sought to have sustained tha action of the federal court in appointing C. B. Dorchester at the instance of the company. The de- cisions in all the cases were unani- mous. The action was begun in the state court under the state anti-trast laws and resulted in a verdict directing the cancellation of the company’s permit to do business in the state and fixing a penalty of $1,623,900 for the viola- tion of the laws from the time that the permit was issued May 31, 1900, till April 24, 1907, when the action was begun. The bill charged that the company had violated the state’s laws every cay since it had entered the state through a conspiracy with the Stand- ard Oil company of New Jersey, to control the ofl business in Texas, but the company denied the charge and in addition contended that even if it had violated the law it was not amenable, because the business transacted was of an interstate character, and there- fore subject only to control by the United States authorities. The penalty was at the rate of $1,500 a day from’ May 31, 1900, to April 1, 1903, and at the rate of $50 Pig Te EINES SEG OIE SS He Danced All Night.

THE MISSOURI RECOUNT. Gmelich is Gaining on Painter at St. Louis. St. Louis—The first 65. precincts in which the legislative committee has finished in its recount of the ballots for lieutenant governor gave Jacob F. Gmelich, the Republican candidate, a net gain of 169 votes.

C—The report has been current here that the Pana- ma libel proceedings might interfere with the president's trip to Africa.

AS soon as the house convened Representative Hughes (W. Va.) moved that the speech of Mr. Willet be expunged from the record. Repre- sentative Payne of New York moved as a substitute that the matter be re- ferred to a committee for investiga- tion and report, The speaker said a resolution should ‘be offered providing for the action proposed and Mr, Hughes then offered the following which after some debate was adopted without an opposing vote: “Whereas, the speech of Mr. Wik lett printed in the Congressional Ree- ord of January 18 contains language improper and in violation of the privil ege of debate; therefore, be it “Resolved, That a committee of five members be appointed to consider the remarks aforesaid and report to the house within ten days. MANY YARDS OF DIRT MOVED. Work on the Panama Canal Moved Rapidly in 1908. Washington, D. C.—Americans are truly “making the dirt fly” in the work of digging the Panama canal.

Since this government took up the work from May 4, 1904, to the close of 1908, 59,773,179 cubie yards have been excavated, of which 37,016,693 cubic yards were taken out in 1908.

CAUGHT LIKE RATS IN A TRAP One Mile and One-Half to Shore of Lake Michigan. Chicago, Jan. 21—With a mile and ‘a half of treacherous drigting ice cut- ting them off from ready communica- tion with the shore, at leas: fifty: three workmen are included among the list of missing and the majority of these are known to be dead, as the result of a fire which had its or igin yesterday in a powder vault at- tached to the intermediate crib in Lake Michigan used in the construc: tion of 2 new water tunnel connecting with the south side of the city. Ninety- five workmen were employed in the erib and connecting tunnel at the time of the fire, but the work of the destroying element was begun so un- expectedly and reaped its harvest of dead and injured with such swift- ness that the contracting firm, the George W. Jackson company, and the rescuers, have been unable to arrive at anything like an accurate list of those who perished and others who es- caped the flames or the icy waters of the lake. - ‘The hospitals at South Chicago and in all parts of the south side are fill- ed with injured. | Owing to the difficulty smali craft experienced in reaching the crib dur- ing the winter the majority of the workmen employed on the work, and particularly those who were without families, slept ia temporary struc- ‘tures on the erib, and it was just as ‘these had been awakened for the day's routine that the explosion and subse- ‘quent fire came. As nearly as the investigators have been able to ascertain, the explosion had its origin in a powder house of small dimensions situated about 100 yards from the erib structure proper, but at the same time being a part of the general structure built on found- ations resting on the bottom of the lake at this point. In this building the George W. Jackson company stored from time to time just enough powder and dynamite for urgent use in the work of constructing the water tunnel and in some manner little short of mysterious the deadly explosives were put into action. ‘The dully detonation, muffled as it was by the crunching of floating Ice against the crib, and the atmosphere Jaden with heavy fog, simply aroused the attention of the workmen, ac- cording to survivors, and it was not until the heat of the flames ahd the stifling smoke penetreated the so called “living room” of the crib and the tunnel beneath the waters of the lake that the full import of the dis- aster dawned upon the little colony of workmen cut off almost completely frem human succor. / One of the workmen, with a cooler head than his fellows, abandoned the shouting and frantie group on the crib ‘platform and made his way through ‘the smoke to the little enclosure in “which telephonic communication had deen established with the shore sta tion. Two attendants received this message: “The crib is on fire, For God's sake send help at once, or we will all ‘be burned alive. The tug——" At this point the communication ceased and through the fog an occa- sional burst of flames and an unmls- takable odor of smoke made it known to the watchers on shore that a trag- edy was probably being enacted a mile and a half out in the lake. Tennessee Has Gone Dry. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 21.—Over the veto of Governor Patterson, both houses of the legislature today passed the senate bill No. 1, which prohibits the sale of intoxicating lquors within fout miles of a school house in Ten- nessee, and fs in effect a state-wide prohibition act, It is effective July 1, 1909. In each house the passage was effected through a combination of Republican and “state‘vide" Demo: cratic strength. The action practically brings to a close one of the bitterest and most sensational political. fights in the history of Tennessee. State-wide pro- hibition was the main issue in the re- cont contest hetween Governor Pat: terson and the late E. W. Carmack, for the Democratic gubernatortal nom- ination, and although Patterson, who advocated local option, won the nom- fnation, the legislature has, after stormy times, gone against him. This came, however, with the aid of Re- publicans. GORE IS RE-ELECTED.

The following interesting bit of in- formation appeared in a Montreal paper: “Last December, in reviewing the year 1907, we had to record a wheat harvest considerabiy smaller in vol- ume than in the previous year. Against ninety millions in 1906 the wheat crop of the West in 1907 only totaled some Seventy-one million bushels, and much of this of inferior quality. But the price averaged high, and the total re- sult-to the farmers was not unprofit- able. This year we have to record by far the largest wheat crop in the cour- try’s history. Estimates vary as to the exact figure, but it is certainly not less than one hundred million bushels, and in all probability it reaches one hundred and ten million bushels, The quality, moreover, is good, and the price obtained very high, so that in all respects the Western harvest of 1908 has been a memorable one. The result upon the commerce and finance of the country is already apparent. The railways are again reporting in- creases in traffic, the general trade of the community has become active afier twelve months’ quiet, and the banks are loosening their purse strings to meet the demand for money. The Prospects for 1909 are excellent. The credit of the country never stood as high. The immigrants of 1907 and 1908 have now been absorbed into the in- dustrial and agricultural community, and wise regulations are in force to prevent too great an influx next year. Large tracts of new country will be opened up by the Grand Trunk Pacific both in East and West. If the seasons are favorable the Western wheat crop should reach one hundred and twenty million bushels, The prospects for next year seem very fair.” An inter- esting letter is received from Cardston, Alberta (Western Canada), written to an agent of the Canadian Government, any of whom will be pleased to advise correspondents of the low rates that may be allowed intending settlers. “Cardston, December 21st, 1908. “Dear Sir: Now that my threshing fs done, and the question ‘What Will the Harvest Be,’ hes become a cer- tainty, I wish to report to you the re sults thereof, believing it will be of in. terest to you. You know I am only a novice in the agricultural line, and do not wish you to think I am boasting because of my success, for soma of my neighbors have done much better than I have, and I expect to do much bet- ter next year myself. My winter wheat went 53 bushels per acre—and graded No. 1. My spring wheat went 48% bushels per acre, and graded No. 1, My oats went 97 bushels per acre, and are fine as any oats I ever saw. My stock is all nice and fat, and are out in the field picking their own three square meals a day. The weather is nice and warm, no snow—and very little frost. This, in short, is an ideal country for farmers and stockmen. ‘The stock requires no shelter or win- ter feeding, and cattle fatten on this grass and make the finest kind of beef, better than corn fed cattle in Ills, Southwestern Alberta will soon be known as the farmers’ paradise; and I am only sorry I did not come here five years ago. Should a famine ever ‘strike North America, I will be among ‘the last to starve—and you can count on that. “I thank you for the personal assist- ‘ance you rendered me while coming ‘in here, and I assure you I shall not | goon forget your kind offices.” Used Dolls to Set Fashions.

Wagner Fooled the Critics, Here is a story of Wagner's visit to Loncon in 1855: After the first Phil- harmonic concert the critics re proached him for conducting a Bee- thoven symphony without the score. At the second concert, to satisfy his audience, Wagner had a “partition” on his desk, which he frequently con- sulted. ‘The critics declared the im- provement was marked, The score, however, was Rossini’s “Barbier de Seville.” ‘There ts more Catarrh in this section of the country nan all ottice diseases put together and unt the I {years was supposed to be Inearable. ‘For 2 grea fing Zea dottar pronounced ft cat dca Drserbed focal rentedes. and. by constantly” fly {6 cue ‘with local treatment, pronouneed It lncurabie Science has proven Catareh to be a constitutional dis fase, and therefore requites constitstional treatment Hats" Cataerh Cure, manutactured by ¥. 9.
