Wisconsin Weekly Advocate

State Historical Society WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. Spooner and the Negro. Senator Spooner was born in the West of pioneer parentage. His childhood was spent amid crude and rough surroundings, from which he grew into a strong, healthful and studious youth in this state, where he attended the University of Wisconsin, graduating therefrom about the time of Lincoln's second call to the defense of the nation—then imperilled by the threatened rebellion of the Southern states. The patriotism within the bosom of this young man could no longer remain silent to the "battle cry of freedom," but found expression in his enlistment as a volunteer soldier amid the roar of cannon and the shriek of shot and shell upon the gory battlefields of the South. Born upon the frontier of Western civilization, of parentage opposed to human slavery and co-workers with the As a boy he had been horrified by sights that outraged his young soul with indignation during the enforcement of the fugitive slave law. Those sights intensified a hatred for slavery within him and awakened a sense of justice for all humanity. He had been taught to believe that the Negro was human and should be treated as such, as was evidenced by his earliest career in public life. Senator Spooner attracted national attention by probing into the methods regarding the federal elections in the South. His searching inquiries relative to the Matthews killing in Mississippi made the Southern brigadiers squirm and wince with uneasiness. The truth of the killing of Hoffman in Texas and the admission of ex-Senator Coke regarding the measures taken in that state to prevent the Negro from exercising the right of suffrage was wrought through the most ingenious cross-questioning. The Lodge bill also found in him a champion who lead his party in its support. Every measure that has had for its object the bettering of the black man's condition since his entrance into Congress has found a zealous supporter and advocate in Senator Spooner. He has given the lie to Tillman, and others of like ilk, regarding the capability of the Negro and his status. No other statesman since the death of the lamented Sumner has so ably championed the cause of the race. His long experience in Congress has made him an invaluable member of the national legislature. His repartee, tact and ready phillipic serve in an unusual degree to make him a powerful foeman in debate This is the man—the outspoken champion of the Negro race—whose candidacy for re-election is challenged by his party in this state. Will the Negro be silent under this trying test, or will he show his appreciation and gratitude to this great man by taking off his coat and entering the thickest of the fight? The Middle States and Mississippi Valley Exposition will throw open its doors for public inspection on the 14th inst. The committee directly in charge of the affair has been untiring in its efforts to make it a grand success in every possible way. From an ethical standpoint it will reflect great and surprising credit upon the Negro race for moral, educational and mechanical achievements. The display of inventive genius, both practical and theoretical, will prove its familiarity with the law of physics. Nor will the finer arts fail to be in evidence. In its thirty-five years of freedom the Negro has made marvelous strides in the world of progress. History records no parallel, since the dawn of civilization, of a similar record among the peoples of the earth. The record of the Negro must naturally command the attention of every student of sociological and historical events. It is as unique as it is interesting. True it is that it is far from being the paragon of perfection, but its showing against the existing prejudices of the other races of mankind is sufficient evidence to offset the theory, so often advanced by its enemies in the South, of its inferiority to the rest of God's creation. We hope this exposition, which is for a most worthy cause, will meet with the success it so richly deserves. It will dispel not a few erroneous impressions from the minds of the people of the North and 13 show to them the things already known to the enlightened people of the South. The Negro is solving his own problem. MERIT WINS And Edward M. Crane is Appointed Post master at Oshkosh. There may be or may have been appointments to public office that gave general satisfaction from a party or partisan point of view, and such appointments may have advanced the interests of the public, but never in the history of Wisconsin politics has the appointment of a man to public trust given more universal satisfaction and reflected M. more credit on those whose efforts and influences brought it about than that of our esteemed friend, Mr. Edward M. Crane, who has just been appointed postmaster of Oshkosh to succeed Capt. Ole Oleson. The Advocate in common with the good people of Oshkosh and the entire state congratulate both the people and Mr. Crane on the outcome of this struggle. Mr. Crane is a young man of strictest business integrity and a staunch Republican, and a man devoted to every phase of our state's progress deserves the appointment, and we predict that the public will have in him an official of whom they will justly be proud and at the close of his administration we predict that he will leave on record an official career to which all may refer with pride. Minnesota's Next Attorney General. Wallace Barton Douglas of Moorhead, Minn., of whom we publish an excellent cut, was born at Leydon, N. Y.. September 20, 1852. Mr. Douglas after a common school education attended the famous old Cazenovia Seminary at Cazenovia, and after the family removed to Momence, Ill., he attended and graduated with high honors from the law class of the University of Michigan in 1875. Mr. Douglas practiced law in Chicago and was a close friend of the noted councilor, Emory A. Storr. His health made a change necessary and he sought the Northwest, settling at Moorhead. Mr. Douglas has been a wise and helpful councilor in matters of state, a staunch Republican and a firm friend of the Negro race. The Power of Thirst. "The power of an appetite for liquor developed in some men is incredible," said a prominent wholesale liquor dealer. "Men will travel long distances, undergo the greatest hardships, and sacrifice everything they hold most dear to gratify their thirst. One of the most impressive illustrations ever brought to my attention was told me by a clergyman's son, who, in trying to give me some idea of the grip the liquor fiend had upon him, said: 'When I have one of my "spells," if I saw a glass of whisky in the mouth of a loaded cannon and was told that the instant I touched it I would be blown to pieces, I would seize the glass and take the consequences.'" CHICAGO NEWS. On Wednesday evening, July 30, at 8:30 o'clock, at Quinn's chapel, the monotony of the present unusually dull season was broken by one of the most notable events in the annals of Chicago happenings. It was the marriage of Mr. Chas. L. Smith and Miss Mary R. Smith. Rev. Dr. A. J. Cory performed the ceremony. The bride was attired in a beautiful robe of knotted lace and crowned with a wreath of lilies of the valley, while she carried in her hand a bouquet of white roses. The groom was attired in a matty fitting suit of the conventional style. The attendants were Miss Nina Davis of Chicago and Dr. J. M. Thomas of Nashville, Tenn., and Miss Edith Coker of Cassapolis, Mich., and Dr. W. H. McArthur, Nashville, Tenn. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of American beauty roses. Flower girls were Flossie Motley and Mary Juliette Willson, who carried roses, ferns and palms. Prof. W. Alphonza Johnson was at the organ. Immediately after the ceremony the contracting parties repaired to the spacious parlor of the church upon the ground floor, where the reception was held. Refreshments were served at 11 o'clock. The presents were many, varied and valuable. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Smith of Crawford, La., and one of the most popular as well as most esteemed of the young ladies of her home. The groom is a native of Cass county, Mich., but has resided in Chicago since 1895. He is a young man of strictest integrity, sterling business qualities and one of the exemplary young men of the race. As a human type there is no better and thousands of our young men might well adopt his methods in all their relations with profit. Both the bride and groom have good cause for congratulating themselves in their choice as they are well suited. Mr. and Mrs. T. Townsend (the latter the aunt of the groom) were in charge of and conducted the occasion and contributed greatly to the pleasure and enjoyment of all. The bride and groom will reside with Mrs. B. A. Townsend, No. 86 Custom House place. SHEBOYGAN NEWS. We met Mr. W. W. Wolff, manager of the Jenkins Machine Co. of Sheboygan, who commended us heartily upon the stand we have taken with regard to the hordes of Negro impostors who are overrunning the state of Wisconsin soliciting funds for various mythical enterprises. We have the same thing here in Milwaukee. Negroes with a scheme for getting money without work. That is the keynote. They are too lazy to work. We have here a Methodist Church and a Baptist Church and their capacity is entirely adequate for Milwaukee's colored population, but schemers who are desirous of using a church cloth as a lever for extorting money from the credulous public have and are creeping in with the same swindle that forces people to close their ears to honest people for fear of the rogue. St. Paul Local News. Mrs. Georgia A. Blaine of Boston, Mass., is visiting Mrs. Firston White, 727 Thomas street, of St. Paul. Mrs. Blaine says St. Paul people are the most cordial and painstaking to strangers she ever met with. Mrs. Blaine is quite a society lady. She is a member of the Educational Club and the New Era Club of Boston. Miss Lillian Page of Denver, Col., is visiting Mrs. Joseph Strong, at 320 Fuller street. Miss Estella C. Bonds, one of Chicago's handsomest ladies, has been spending her summer vacation with Miss Fannie Dodd, 320 Margarett street. Miss Bonds is a bright and charming young lady. She is one of the government meat inspectors of Chicago. Miss Gertrude I. Palmer, a sweet and noted violinese from Chicago, is spending the summer in St. Paul, visiting Miss Leola Moher of St. Paul. Mrs. Melvina Stoks of Peoria, Ill., Mrs. Wagner of Peoria, Ill., Mrs. Conway of Peoria, Ill., and Mr. Hunt of Mason City, Ia., are visiting Mr. J. H. Blair of St. Paul. Residence, 640 Acer street. Mrs. Bertha Wilson has gone to Chicago to visit her sister, who is very ill. We are sorry, as we will miss her, as she is the life of the Pilgrim Baptist Church choir. Mr. William Fort is cutting quite a swell. He will not ride unless he has a double rig and rubber tires. Mrs. Bird Jackson of Chicago, Mrs. Dr. Croker of Chicago and F. W. Jones of Chicago, the well known transfer man, took dinner at the beautiful home of Mrs. M. D. Pettis, 495 Fuller street. Miss Nuger of Louisville, Ky., is visiting Mrs. J. E. Melker of St. Paul. Miss Gertrude James left Monday to visit the Misses Ricks in Iowa Falls. Emet A. Chanman, Mrs. John Cloak, Mrs. George Wells are visiting friends and relatives in Springfield, O., for the summer. Rector Daniell of New York, one of our ables Negroes of the race, will be in St. Paul Sunday, July 3, to preach his introductory sermon. Prof. E. W. Penton, principal of Lincoln high school of Paducah, and Mrs. Lulu G. Benton, teacher in Lincoln school, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Garner, 524 Larington avenue. Ross Clark. Whose cut we publish above, the well-known attorney of St. Paul and the next clerk of the district court, is a sure winner. Mr. Clark is a candidate for the office of clerk of the district court. He as been a worker in the ranks of the Republican party for many years and has never before asked for an office. Mr. Clark preferred to call on the voters in person, but the county is so large that it is impossible for him to do that; therefore, he takes this method of asking for your support. He very much desires the Republican nomination for clerk, and assures us that if elected he will perform the duties of the office faithfully, honestly and intelligently. E. G. Rogers has held this office for two terms of four years each, making eight years he has served. He is now M. H. asking for a third term. If he should be nominated and elected, he would be in the office twelve years. This is a longer time than anyone ought to hold the office. Mr. Clark takes this view of the matter, viz.: that it is not fair to the rest of the voters to give any man three terms of a big county office. He says that he would, under no circumstances, stand for a third term, and he favors a law making the limit two terms. There is a strong sentiment in this county against a third term. This was shown a short time ago in the case of Chapel, for a third term for sheriff, who met a disastrous defeat at the election, solely because the voters were opposed to a third term. Sullivan, who wanted to be county auditor for a third term, was also beaten. Our recent state convention would not sanction a third term for the office of clerk of the supreme court. He does not believe that anyone can be elected for a third term to one of the large county offices in this county. If he should be elected clerk, he will make no charge for naturalization papers nor for pension papers. He asks you in a straightforward way for your support, and, if you can see your way clear to give it to him, he will be ever grateful for it. Julius H. Block. The watch dog of Minnesota's treasury, of whom we published a long account some time ago. Mr. Block attended the M. B. National Afro-American Council sessions and was greatly interested in the work at St. Paul. Mr. Block is a German-American, born at Galion, O., removing to Minnesota at an early age. Mr. Block has won his way by his sterling abilities and strength of character and will add a tower of strength to the Republican ticket this fall, being a candidate for re-election. —Saccharine and other coal-tar products are being much used in place of sugar for sweetening jams, syrups, beverages, pastry and other food substances. Sucramine, one of these substitutes, is credited with 700 times the sweetening power of cane sugar. —Natives in the Punjab have taken to ping-pong. M. J. Mr. George H. Foster of Oshkosh is truly one of nature's noblemen. A true American. Clear headed, firm and self-reliant. He is at the head of many enterprises though still a young man, being only 39. Among the matters in hand, he is vice president of the Lothman Cypress Company, with its main office at St. Louis, Mo., and factories at Oshkosh, Wis., under the firm name of Foster-Lothman Mills. The Foster-Munger Company at Chicago at West Twentieth and Sangamon streets. Mr. Foster has a charming home at 294 Washington street. His family, a handsome wife and manly little boy. Mr. Foster has time still to devote to the best interests of his townsmen, he is alderman of the Second ward. Mr. John Schoettl is his immediate assistant at his office; a genial business man. Miss H. Hanson and Miss G. Ault make up his office department. To the Negro Citizens of Wisconsin. Having been commissioned by the directors of the Middle States and Mississippi Valley Exposition to solicit exhibits, representative of the industrial genius of the Negro race, I earnestly urge upon all my fellow citizens to at once contribute something to the cause that will properly and intelligently represent the progress of the race in this great commonwealth. The state of Wisconsin has afforded ample opportunities without prejudice or distinction as to race, creed, color or previous conditions, for all to make their mark therein. The opportunity now presented for the Negroes of Wisconsin to show to the general public what has been accomplished under these favorable conditions should not be neglected. I, therefore, respectfully request that every Negro—man, woman and child—who has accomplished anything of merit, either with hand, pen, brush, pencil or needle, will at once communicate with me relative to having the same entered as a part of the Wisconsin exhibit. Such entries should be placed in my hands before August 1. Milwaukee, Wis. Commissioner for the State of Wisconsin. M. S. & M. V.

McConnell We publish an excellent likeness of W. W. P. McConnell, the food and dairy commissioner of Minnesota. Mr. McConnell is just returned from the West, where he attended the national J. food and dairy convention. Mr. McConnell stated that he was very sorry not to be in St. Paul at the time of the National Afro-American Council convention and says the Negroes of the West are making rapid strides to success. The wonderful success of Mr. McConnell in his work to better the herds and aid the farmers in the development of dairy products is too well known to require farther comment. The results attained are sufficient. The Spriggs. The Spriggs are a fine old Maryland family, with Virginia branches. Sir John Gordon Spriggs, both predecessor and successor of the late Cecil Rhodes as prime minister of Cape Colony, was a Fourth of July guest of the American society in London. He is of close kin to the Maryland Spriggs. A New York representative of the family is the well-known lawyer, Carroll Sprigg of 11 Broadway. The Pattersons of Cumberland and Lynchburg, are related to the Spriggs. Sir John Gordon went to South Africa in 1858, where he worked on a newspaper for eleven years, then entered Parliament. He has held nearly every office of consequence in the gift of the colony and as agent of the home government. No Englishman is more popular with Americans.—New York Press. Early Railway Signal History. A station master, one of the pioneers of signalmen on the Darlington railway, placed a lighted candle in the window of the station when it was desired to stop the train, and left the window in darkness if the line was clear. The first real signals were flags waved by hand; afterward those were placed on lofty poles and surmounted at night by lamps, with red or white lights. In 1837 the disk signal fixed on a pole came into use, which was turned edgeways when the line was clear. Gradually the semaphore, adopted in 1842, came into use just eleven years before the block system was introduced. In 1856 a plan of interlocking the levers was invented, but it was not until 1859 that the first interlocking frame was set in action at Willesden—London Chronicle. --- TRACY SHOOTS HIMSELF. Dead Body of Fugitive Found by Woman Picking Berries. HE AVOIDS CAPTURE. Sheriff and His Posse Opens Fire on Out- law and a Bullet Pierces Right Leg. Spekane, Wash. Aug. 6.—Harry Tracy, the outlaw, killed himself in a wheat field near Fellowes at 4:30 a. m. He was surrounded by a posse. In a fight with the sheriff's posse last night Tracy was wounded in the right leg between the knee and the thigh and 20 minutes later, knowing that his cap- ture was certain, he killed himself with a revolver, The body of the outlaw was found in a wheat field this morning. ‘Tracy was surrounded in a field near Fellowes, a station on the Washington Central railroad, about fifty miles west ef Spokane. ‘The posse under Sheriff Gardner opened fire on the outlaw and a bullet pierced his right leg between the knee and thigh. About twenty min- utes after being wounded he shot himself with one of his revoivers and his body was found this morning after daybreak. The revolver with which he killed him- self was grasped tightly in his right hand. Tracy was hunted down by a_ posse ef Creston citizens. Surrounded, he en- gaged in a running battle with his pur- suers. His leg was broken by _a bullet and an artery bled profusely. He crept Ee a. YX (a aa ee . | 4! og , : 7 bee ms = q a iB cae Be 4 ee i PO tin, ae HARRY TRACY. into a wheat field and tried to tie up the artery. Becoming desperate, he evident- ly put his revolver to his head and fired a bullet into his brain. At daylight this zocening his body was found, already cold. After baffling the officers of two states, after a wonderful flight of nearly 400 miles across Oregon and Washington, ‘Tracy was hunted down by four citizens cf the little farming town of Creston and a sole deputy sheriff. Sheriff Gardner and posse arrived in time to guard the wheat field through the night, but the work had already been done. The posse that will share the reward was made up as follows: C. A. Straub, deputy sheriff; Dr. E. C. Lantes, Mau- rice Smith, attorney; J. J. Morrison. rail- way section foreman, and Frank Lilien- gen. These men, armed to the teeth, set out from Creston yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock, * Boy Leads Officers. ~ They were working on the information of the Goldfinch youth who had been forcibly made the companion of the Ore- gon convict over twenty-four hours at the Eddy ranch on Lake creek, about three miles south from Fellowes, a station on the Washington Cen- tral railway. The party made all possible haste in getting to the ranch. When within a few hundred yards of the farm they encountered Farmer Eddy mowing in one of his fields. While en- gaging him in conversation they saw a man issuing from the barn door. “Is that Tracy?” asked one of the party. ‘ “It surely is,” replied Eddy. The party separated, Lanter and Smith accompanying Eddy in the direc- tion of the barn, while the other two men swung around to the other side. Two of the manhunters stepped behind the barn on a_ slight eminence, from which they could watch everything that went on and Eddy continued up to the door. Tracy came from the barn again and began helping his host unhitch the horses. He carried no rifle, although he had his revolvers in place. The fugitive finally saw the men_car- rying rifles and turning sharply to Eddy, said: ‘Who are those men?” “I don’t see any men,” said Eddy. Made Leap for the Barn. Tracy pointed out the two men on the hill, Eddy informed his companion who the men were and the outlaw made a leap for the barn door. The pursuers, stepping a bit closer, commanded “Hold up your hands.” The outlaw jumped be- hind Eddy and placed first the farmer and then his horse between himself and the pursuers. He commanded the farmer to lead his horse to the barn, and. remaining under cover, moved toward shelter. When near the stable he broke and dashed inside. He quickly reappeared, rifle in hand, and started on a dead run. Turning on the two men nearest him, the desperado fired two shots, but with- out his usual luck, neither bullet taking effect. Without waiting for further fight- ing Tracy made a dash down the valley leading south from the barn and headed for the brush. Man Hunters in Pursuit. - In an instant the manhunters were off in pursuit, firing as they ran. Coming to a rock, Tracy dodged behind it and resting his gun on the rock began a fusil- ade. Eight shots in all were fired by the outlaw, not one hitting its mark. Seeing that he was not succeeding, he bolted for a wheat field close by. At the edge of the fiekd he stumbled, falling on his face and crawled into the grain on his hands and knees. It was growing dark and the ursuers, not during to move in closer, Sedded to surround the place and wait for daylight. Shortly after Tracy disappeared a shot was heard from the direction of the wheat field. No investigation was made, however, until this morning. As soon as dawn came an entrance was made into the wheat field. Tracy Found Dead. Tracy’e dead body was found lying amid the grain_with his face turned to- ward the sky. His left hand thrown over his head held a revolver which had inflicted the death wound. The thumb of his hand was on the trigger of the revolver. His Paes hand, thrown across the pa og of his body, firmly grasped ‘the barrel of his famous rifle. Death was inflicted by the revolver. The top of his head was badly shattered Two bullet wounds on the left leg showed the cause of the man’s despond- ency. Oue shot had broken the leg be- tween the ankle and the knee. The other cut the tibial artery, which of itself was sufficient cause for death. _ It is believed that both of these wounds were received after the convict left the shelter of the rock and made his break for a wheat field. The | murderer had taken a strap and buckled it tightly around his leg in an sattempt to stop the bleeding. Despite the tight strap the bleeding continued until ‘he probably realized his hopeless condi- tion und ended the struggle. He was dressed in blue overalls, a white shirt and ‘wore no coat or vest. He wore a bicycle cap and a pair of rough shoes. He had one rifie and two revolvers. Quarrel Over Reward. Sheriff Gardner of Lincoln county and his assistants arrived on the scene in time to help in the final discovery of the remains ang it is stated that he main- tained that he and his deputies were en- titled to at least a share of the booty. This was disputed by the Creston party, ‘the members of which maintain that they did the work and that to them be- longs the reward. Finally Sheriff Garduer was allowed to take the body with the understanding that he recommend that the reward be paid to the men from Creston. The body, effects and horses of the notorious man were taken in charge by Sheriff Gardner and taken direct to Da- venport, where they will be kept pend- ing the decision of the final disposition of Tracy’s body. Reports come from Da- yenport that wild excitement prevails. Stores are closed and people are crowd- ing around to get a sight of the outlaw’s body. 4 It is stated that a heavy guard is kept around the morgue, where the body is kept, as well as around the corpse itself to prevent relic hunters from tearing the clothing to pieces and carrying away Dake HAD HIM SURROUNDED. Fugitive Outlaw was Closely Pursued by Numerous Posse. Saeeve Sveewve Spokane, Wash., Aug. 6.—Harry Tra- cy, escaped convict and murderer, is sur- rounded in a swamp near the Eddy farm, eleven miles southeast of Creston, Wash. For four hours before the special mes- senger left for reinforcements a long- range rifle due] between Tracy and the posse of eight men headed by Sheriff Gardner had been in progress. This news was brought to Creston by Jack Mc- Ginnis, a liveryman of Harrington, who is a member of Sheriff Gardner's posse. McGinnis proceeded at once to Dayen- port for reinforcements. A telephone message received from Davenport early this morning states that twenty-five armed men have already left in wagons for the scene of the battle. Sheriff Doust of Spokane county has also gone to the scene. Tracy Leaves 4 Message. The sheriff’s office at Davenport re- ceived a message from Creston, stating that Tracy spent all day Monday at the home of L. B. Eddy, a rancher on Lake creek, three and a half miles south of Fellows. The outlaw made his appear- ance Sunday evening, and took posses- sion of the place. He is reported to have been there Monday night, leaving about 7:30 o'clock. Pinned to the well on a farm about a mile north of Odessa, where apparently Tracy had watered his horses, the fol- lowing cote, signed Harry Tracy, was found yesterday: To Whom It May Concern: Tell Mr. Cudihee to take a tumble and let me alone, or I will fix him plenty. I will be on my way to Wyoming. If your horses are any good, would swap with you. Thanks for a cool drink. | TRACY’S EVENTFUL CAREER. Has Killed Ten Men and Kept Authori- ties at Eav for Two Months. Harry Tracy escaped from the Oregon state penitentiary at Salem on June 9 in company with David Merrill, after kill- ing four men, Frank W. Ferrell, G. R. T. Jones and B. F. Fiffany, guards, and Frank Ingraham, a convict who tried to to prevent his flight. On June 28 Tracy killed Merrill near Napavine, Wash., shooting him from behind and leaving his body in the forest, where it was found on July 15. On July 3 near Seattle in a fight with a posse, Tracy shot and killed Charles Raymond, a deputy sheriff; E. E. Bresse, a policeman, and mortally wound- ed Neil Rawley, who died on the follow- ing day and seriously wounded Carl An- derson and Louis Zafrite, newspaper re- porters. Tracy committed many feats of daring during his flight, in the course of which he eluded various posses when apparent- ly surrounded and held up numerous farmers whom he forced to furnish food and clothing and by threats of murdering their families compelled them to cover up his tracks. Perhaps his greatest show of daring was eas on July 2 at South Bay, near Olympia, when he held up six men and forced four, inciuding Capt. Clark of a large gasoline launch, to embark with him on Puget sound and pilot him up stream for ten hours, In 1897 Tracy murdered Valentine Hoge, a Colorado cattleman, and Wil- liam Strong, a boy, in the same state. A total reward of $5600 was offered for his arrest, Gov. McBride of Washington offering $2500 for his capture, dead or alive. The state of Oregon offered $3000 and a brother of one of the guards killed at the penitentiary offered $100. The reward for Merrill's capture amounted to $1500, which has_ been claimed by Mrs. Waggoner, the berry- picker, and her son, who found the body near their home. He is described as not yet 30 years of age, in life as active as a cat, strong and well made, a splendid shot and quick to get “the drop,” forceful in all his words and actions. He was not an ordinary criminal such as the police of the large cities know so well. To find Harry Tracy’s prototype one must go back a score of years or more to the time when the “bad men,” the “man-killers” of Texas, Missouri, the mountains of Ken- tucky and other sections of the West were still at their work.

Flagged at Small Station Where Express Car is Detached and Blown Up with Dynamite. (Quincy: 7a Way, BVO eee yanna, about midnight. The fine ves- tibuled passenger train of cleven coaches, Conductor Emerson in charge, was flagged at the little station and six masked men boarded the engine. , The engineer and fireman obeyed the impera- tive orders of the robbers, who at once uncoupled the engine and express car from the train and ran them a quarcer of a mile up the track. ‘hey then blew up the express car with dynamite, ran the engine north a distance of a mile from Hanover and the locomotive be- coming dead the robbers abandoned it and escaped. One of the highwaymen was killed, being shot above the eye and also in the leg. He met instant death while in the engine and his body was dumped to the ground by his companions as they sped away. The express messen- ger, Bye, claims to have done the shoot- ing. The deed was done see the trainmen and passengers making no de- fense. Six sacks of money were secured, but the amount is not known. The pas- sengers were not molested. 2 ‘There was no way of telegraphing news of the hold-up and a flagman walked back and gave the alarm. A special train of citizens and_ several policemen at once proceeded to the scene. but as the track rans along the Mississippi and the country is well adapted to successful flight, the robbers easily escaped. The work was evidently that of experts as they went at it coolly and methodiecaily. The train attacked is one of the finest in the world and usually carried consid- evable money. which inust have beer known by the highwaymen. The dead robber was a stranger in this vicinity. He was a middle-aged man and well dressed, “In his pocket was found an Towa Cen- tral mileage credential from Grinnell to Gihaan, Ia., issued in the name of A. L. Jacobs. Four explosions were required to con:- plete the destruction of the safe and the ear was ‘badly wrecked. The robbers were eight in number, all masked. They evidently were railrond men, one being 5 good engineer. Messenger Bye fired fiv shots at the robbers but without avail and an attempt was made to blow him up in his car. The bandits had arranged to ditch the entire train of nine heavily- laden coaches had not the signal to stop been heeded. Several passengers in the buffet car, including the porter, were held prisoners during the struggle to crack the safe. It is thought that the dead robber was killed by a comrade by mistake. The body was put on the tender and run by the others a short distance and then thrown into the weeds. The Engineer’s Story. | La Crosse, Wis., Aug. 6.—The Burling- tion ‘No. 47, which was held up near’ Lucas, arrived here at 10 o'clock and a twenty-minute stop was made for break- fast. Engineer john E. Mooney when seen told a vivid story of the hold-up. He ssid: “The robbers stopped the train by swinging a white light. As soon as it stopped two men jumped into the cab and covered us with revolvers. One of them told the fireman to cut off the en- gine. After this was done the man who was pointing a gun at my head told me to pull the engine up a ways and I ran her up half a mile. Then they ordered me to jump off and. we walked back to- wards the train, where we were joined by the express messenger and another robber. They took us to the rear of the buffet car and toid us to sit there. One of the robbers left us. They worked for an hour blowing open the safe and finally brought the engine down again and all of them got aboard it. A few feet_from ‘the train they told me to jump off and run, which IT most assuredly did. They ‘yan the engine up seven miles and left her dead.” . Covered with Six Guns. _ Mr. Mooney says that he has been run- niug on the Burlington since it was built ‘fifteen years ago and this was his first experience and he sincerely hopes it will | be the last. Six guns staring one in the face is none too pleasant a sensation to experience. Mr. Mooney believes that the robbers killed one of their own num- her, either purposely or accidentally. Several shots were fired, some by the robbers, and the rest by the express mes- | senger. The dead man was dumped off a short distance from where the affair occurred, the robbers having taken his body on’ the engine when they started off. Mr. Mooney says that all of the men wore masks but that while one was holding a gun in his face the handker- chief which concealed his entire face ex- cept the eyes fell off and that he man- aged to get a good look at him. He could identify him, he says, as the young | man had a sandy complexion, was about D feet 8 inckes in height and wore good | clothes, The express car had two holes blown | into its bottom and was left at East Du- buque, It is believed that the five bags of money only contained $2500. The Company’s Statement. Chicago, Ill, Aug. 6.—Following is the official. account of the robbery, issued by the general manager of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway: “Train 47 was held up last night about 11:30 at Marcus, about ten miles norti of Savanna, Ill. The switch was turned for passing track and the train flagged. ‘The two head cars, consisting of a mail and express car and a2 composite car were cut off and taken to the north switch, where the safe in the express car was blown open with dyna- mite and contents taken, after which the engine was cut off by the robbers and started north. As the robbers left the express messenger fired at them. One robber was found dead about one mile north of Mareus and his body was given over to the coroner. At least six men were concerned in the robbery, So faz as is known only $2000 in silver was secured. None of the crew was hurt and noue of the passengers molested.

Bishop Messmer’s Address at Convention of the Federation of Catholic Societies. Chicago, Il, Aug. 5.—Delegates from more than 400 Catholic societies attended the opening session of the convention otf the Federation of Catholic Societies which began here today. Solemn ponti- fieal high mass was celebrated in_ the morning at the Cathedral of the Holy Name by re Muldoon, Messmer and MeFaul. Much interest centered about the attitude the delegates might assume on the question of the Spanish friars in the Philippines. All the regular sessions of the convention will be exeeutive but an open meeting will be held tonight at which, ctlicers say, the question vf poli- tics and the chureh probably will come up. The convention will continue over tomorrow_and Thursday. Bishop Messmer, in his sermon at mass, made no allusion to the warnings by Archbishop Ireland to the effect that the convention should take no action on the Spanish friar question. The burden of the bishop's address was one of eoncilia- tion. He said it was the duty of all true Catholics to work with heart and hand for the furtherance of Catholicity and that dissentions should never arise in the church. . Vishop Messmer, while pleading for “unity in heart and mind,” for all Catho- lies, at the same time told the laity not to fear in their attitude of Americanship. He said they should obey their superiors in the matter of religion, but that the Pope had counseled straightforward pro- gress in the path of their civie convic- tions. LEAVES NEWSPAPER ROW New York Times to Erect Modern Steel Structure in New York Up- town District. New York, Aug. 5.—It is announced to- day that the New York Times has ac- quired the triaifgle bounded by Broad- way, Forty-second street and Seventh avenue, and will at once begin the erec- tion thereon of a large modern steel-con- struction building, primarily for its own use. In the nearly fifty-one years of its existence the Times has oecupied build- ings in ‘Newspaper Row,” facing City Tiall park and the announcement that it is to be moved *o the uptown district has caused much comment. In announcing the purpose of abandon- ing its present quarters the Times says: “To many of the older New Yorkers, the notion of a newspaper moving so far up- town will seem singuiar. For years the popular notior has been that the location near the city hall park where so many newspapers had their birth and where su many are now grouped, was an essential. This was true in the years gone by and is still true in great measure. The next eighte-n montls, however, promise to make a revolution in many respects ow- ing to the new transit facilities which the underground railways and the Pennsyl- yania tunnel provides.” ————__—__—- DR.

MINERS ARE DEFEATED. Judge Goff Renders Decision in Habeas Corpus Proceedings. MEN RETURN TO JAIL. Case Turns on Question of cia —Strike Veaders are Greatly Disappointed. Clarksburg, W. Va., Aug. 6.—Judge Goff this afternoon in a lengthy opinion decided the habeas corpus case against the miners and agitators and remanded them to the custody of the marshal and sheriff, and they will be removed to Par- kersbury to serve the balance of their sentences, The judge said the only ques- tion was as to the jurisdiction and that the Guarantee ‘rust Company of New York was entiled to a standing in court and it was not absolutely necessary for the fuel company to be made a party to the suit. The decision is a great dis- appointment to the miners, and their counsel say that no other action can be taken at present, at least. MACHINISTS GO OUT. Superintendent of Allis-Chalmers Shops will Not Discharge Nonunionists. . Chicago, Ill., Aug. 6.—Because some ‘nonunion men laughed at them, 250 union machinists employed in the big shops of the Allis-Chalmers Company at Twelfth street and Washtenaw avenue walked out yesterday and declared a renewal of the long strike at that plant which was only recently settled. A number of union machinists were discussing with much bitterness the re- ports that had come out concerning the use of convict labor by the firm when it was fighting the union some time ago. This led to a reference to the fact that some of the nonunion men who had tak- en the strikers’ places during the recent tie-up were still retained. The unionists were under the impression that the non- union men were to have been gradually let ont after the settlement of the pro- tracted strike on June 12, 1902. Several nonunion men gathered about and listened. They laughed at the stvouz denunciations heaped upon them and this stirred the unionists to the boiling point, Assault Starts General Fight. Spurred on by tne derisive laughter, one of the union men stepped ont from the group and struck a nonunionist a stinging blow full in the face. Imimedi- ately a general fight was precipitated. The men went at each other fiercely. Noses were broken and clothing was torn. The trouble brought a crowd of other workmen to the scene. They interfered and finally order was restored. Then ihe union men withdrew to one side and held an indignation meeting. They decided that they would not stay in the shops unless all the nonunion men were imme- diately discharged. The superintendent would not listen to the protests, it is said, but claimed that the nonunionists were working in the shops in accordance with the agreement made at the time of the settlement. When this report was made to the men they marched out and left the ma- chinists’ section of the big plant prac- tically deserted. They declared that un- less ‘a settlement is made today they would call ont ell the union sees at the Gates lron Works branch of the Allis-Chalmers Company in Elston ave- nue. QUIET AT SHENANDOAH. Several Shots During the Night, but Shooters Could Not be Located. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 6.—The sentries on duty around camp and the soldiers stationed at different parts of the town on provost guard duty reported every- thing quiet ig, Se night. Some of the mae amnen said they heard several shots uring the night, but could not locate them. if There was a little disorder in Mahanoy City late last night. A junk vender from Harrisburg who had been seen near a colliery was suspected of being a deputy and was set upon by a number of men. He escaped up the mountain and sought refuge with a colony of Roumanian Jews. Slain with Pick Handle. ere Pa., Aug. 6.—Lying in a pret of blood on a lonesome road in Nanticoke, the body of Daniel Sweeney, a watchman employed by the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western Coal Com- pany was found early today. Across the top of the head were two wounds and the skull was crushed at the base. There are numerous other bruises about the body. Alongside the body lay a bloody pick handle. Sweeney quit work at midnight and was followed by a score of men, making threats, and Sweevey was afraid of them. He took refuge in a saloon and waited there for some time. After he thought the crowd that followed him had dis- persed he left for his nome. This was the last seen of him alive. The suppo- sition is that the men who followed him from the mine were lying in weit for him and when he spproached the spot where they were hiding they assaulted him with brass knuckles and beat his brsins ont. Ai strike headquarters in this city a statement was given out to the effect that an investigation had_been made of the killing of Watchman Sweeney at the Bliss mine, but there was no evidence to show that strikers had committed the crime. The local coal operators say they now fear a reign of terror will spread over the coal region aud that the state militia will be kept busy in many parts of the strike territory. Magistrate Shoemaker said today that friends of the rioters who were taken to Pottsville will institute habeas corpus proceedings to have the men released. Brig.-Gen. Gobin, in speaking of the conditions at Shenandoxh said that Shenandoah, for its size, is more thickly Rees than the tenement district of New York city.

Here at the roots of the mountains. Between the sonner legions of cedars and tamaracs. The rapids charge the ravine: A little light, cast by foam under starlight, Wavers about the shimmering stems of the birches: Here rise up the clangorous sounds of battle, Immense and mournful. Far above curves, the great dome of dark Drawn with the limitless lines of the stars and the planets. Deep at the core of the tumult. Deeper than all the voices that cry at the surface. Dwells one fathomless sound. Under the hiss and cry, the stroke and the plungeant clamor. (Oh! human heart that sleeps. Wild with rushing dreams and deep with sadness.) the abysmal roar drops into almost silence. While over its sleep plays in various ca Rising supreme in utterance It sways, and reconquers and floods all the spaces of silence. One voice, deep with the sadness. "TO HER!" Elbridge sat in one of the deep, leather-covered arm chairs of his club, reading. Friends came by and asked him to join them, but he shook his head to each. "I'm waiting for a couple of old cronies of mine," he said, again and again. "We have an appointment to meet every year at this date, and we've kept it now for ten years." At last one of the cronies came. "Hello, Boyd!" he called. "Am I late?" Boyd asked, glancing around him like a bird. "Where's Liscom?" "Hasn't shown up yet," Elbridge answered. "We'll wait here for him. How's the world with you, old man?" "Perfect. Business increasing beautifully. This is a fine year." "Have you seen Liscom lately?" "Yes, a week or two ago; he came into my office—why, let me see—" Boyd paused and computed. "That's queer; it seems only a few days, but it must have been in March." Boyd looked at his watch again. "What's the use of asking when we've lost sight of his doings so completely? Was he looking well in March?" "Oh, yes, looking fine. At least, I don't remember anything about his looks. He's been cadaverous these ten years." Time passed again in perfunctory talk. Then Elbridge rose. "I'm afraid Liscom's ill," he said. "If he were well he would either have come or gotten word to us by this time. I think I'll call a cab and ride up to his address. You might go around to your brother's and come back after an hour. I'll leave a message here in case he comes while we're gone." "I'll send word to the children and go with you." Boyd said. The night air met them sharply on the street. They shivered as they walked the short block to the cab rank, and their minds were heavy with an indefinite sense of estrangement from their old friend. "It would have been easier to keep trace of him if he hadn't lived in such an out-of-the-way place," Elbridge said. "He likes out-of-the-way places," Boyd answered. "He's queer, anyway. Who else would keep this anniversary of the night he didn't get married? And who else would have stopped the ceremony to refuse to agree to the exact words of the promise? And yet he drinks her health every year, just the same." "It's poetical," Elbridge murmured. "Fudge!" said Boyd. "It's love." "Love? When he refused to promise to love her 'until death do us part?'" Elbridge protested. "What do you suppose possessed him?" "Nothing but hyper-conscientiousness," Boyd declared, as if they had not talked it all out dozens of times before. "I can remember just the way it happened, can't you? What a hush there was when that question struck him, and he didn't give the response; and then his voice: 'But I can't promise to love her all my life. I can promise to honor and cherish her, but love is beyond our control; no one can honestly promise it for the future. I can only say I love her now.'" "What I'd like to forget is her face," Elbridge said, "and how she stood out for the full promise or none at all. I was drenched with sweat when it all broke up and we came away." "And yet it was she who married, he who has never changed." "Yes," Elbridge admitted, "and "I've heard she had a hard time before her husband died. He was about as untrue to her as a man could be." The cab jolted on, passing far, dim streets. At last the two men left it. Liscom's neighborhood was forlorner than they remembered it. They were certain of the number of his house, but his name was above none of the bells in the entrance hall, so they rang up the janitor. "Must have moved away before I came," the janitor declared. "I've been here six months, and there's been no such party here." They turned away, baffled and depressed. "That's all we can do tonight," Elbridge said, conclusively. "Tomorrow I'll begin a systematic search." As they stepped into the warm club on their return its very comfort and the invitation of its pleasant rooms seemed to accuse them. A servant handed Elbridge a telegram. He tore it open and gave an exclamation between relief and commiseration. "At least he's alive," he said, passing the message to Boyd. "Am too ill to join you," it said. "Come to me." They went out again, exchanging surmises. He was ill, but his address did not suggest poverty. Their second excursion was the shorter of the two, and brought them into an attractive quarter of New York. A white-capped maid answered their summons and took them to Liscom. He was lying in bed, thinner and frailer than ever, but with brighter eyes. He grasped the hand of each "Ive been down so long I'd lost count of the days," he said in a weak, eager voice. "When I remembered, I was afraid you'd have given me up and gone home. But I knew you'd come if you got my message." He elapsed their hands tighter. "You've stood by me, boys." he went on, tremulously, "but your job's done now. I wanted to bid you goodbye on this night that you've been helping me to bear for so long. I wanted to bid you goodbye and to have you wish me joy." He looked from one to the other. He looked from one to the other, and PERFORMS A THRILLING FEAT.

"Woman in Spain has had no part in the emancipation of the sex that has taken place in most European countries in the last century," says a writer in the Fortnightly Review. "As a factor in social life she stands entirely in the background; man has the predominant influence, and the position of woman is an entirely subordinate one. To the foreigner the first sign of this is visible in the absence of that easy and homely spirit of hospitality prevalent in other countries, and which owes so much of its character to female influence. In this matter the ideas of the Spaniard retain a flavor of Orientalism which the progress of the time and the general advance of civilization around him have been unable to dissipate. He possesses what we should call most limited views as to the sphere in which woman should move. He thinks that a good wife should have no interests which may distract her from the duties of her household, and hence these duties—the chief among them being the care and bringing up of children—form the chief occupation of the Spanish lady. "An unusual development of intellect in a woman is held by public opinion to be unfeminine, and the proportion of intellectual women in Spain is remarkably small. The majority of Spanish girls are quite uncultivated, in our modern sense of the word, except as regards hand embroidery, music and dancing, for which the race has considerable aptitude. Half a century ago the orthography of a large percentage of well-born Spanish women would not have come up to the standard of one of our elementary school boards. "The education of Spanish women has indeed improved during the last thirty years, owing chiefly to greater facilities for travel and a certain filtering through of foreign habits of life. But this has only taken place within the recognized lines of communication over the country. Physical training plays as small a part in the education of Spanish women as does intellectual culture. In this, too, there is a wide distance separating the Anglo-Saxon woman from her southern neighbor. One of the most noticeable characteristics of the former is the love of exercise which she has recently acquired, and in which she can now with impunity indulge. In Spain, on the other hand, not only do women take little or no exercise, but they have a strong aversion to taking it. Spanish girls are never, in their childhood, taught to appreciate open air life, and they have no opportunity of acquiring the taste later on. An endeavor was made a short time ago to introduce bicycling into Madrid as a feminine amusement, but the attempt was a failure, owing to the obstructive attitude of both sexes. The new idea was only taken up by a few votaries of foreign fashion." "One result of the position of the Spanish woman is the easy solution it offers of 'conjugal problems.' The explanation of this fact is to be found in a corollary to the following general proposition offered by the author: 'One of the most essential conditions of conjugal happiness is that the views of the contracting parties as to their respective spheres of action should be in perfect harmony. In Spain there is never any question of what a woman can or cannot do or think. She is a domestic slave, but she is a perfectly contented one, and no more devoted wives and mothers are to be found than in that country.'" Young men who wish to avoid the heavy work of the farm and young women who hope to escape "making up" beds and washing dishes will take up typewriting. They do not take into consideration that the average typewriter works harder than a man who shovels coal. The average typewriter carriage weighs four pounds. The average operator lifts the carriage five times a minute, or 1,200 pounds every hour. If he is lucky he works but eight hours a day, which means that he lifts nearly five tons a day. The carriage is lifted on an average seven inches every time it is raised, or 175 feet an hour, or about a quarter of a mile each day. But as the hand travels through as much space in lowering as in raising the carriage, and as the strain is as great, we must double these figures, which means that the average operator lifts over two tons fourteen inches a day, or two pounds one-half mile.—Muncie (Ind.) Star. his thin face flushed as he met their gaze. They were too bewildered for words, but their eyes questioned him, scarcely daring to interpret his words. "It's true, boys," he told them, huskily. "It's goodby, for I'm going away next week, but—that's not all. I fell ill and was in hospital. She found me. She's been taking care of me. This is her house, and—we're married." Boyd was the first to speak out of their great surprise. "You're married—to her?" he asked, vaguely. "Yes, to her," Liscom said. "But did you promise?" asked Elbridge. "Friends," Liscom said, "I don't know why you've stood by such a hesitating, cowardly fool as I've been all my life. I don't know that I'd have made that promise yet if death hadn't been so near. It was just a few days, the doctors said, and I couldn't hold out against the need to have her by me. I wanted to have hold of her hand at the end. And, instead, she cured me, and she's teaching me how to live. Talk of 'till death do us part'—I'd promise now for eternity." They were all silent a little while, thinking of the strangely twisted strand which we call life. At last Boyd spoke again. "And she's taking you away?" he asked. "Just till I get strong," Liscom said. "When we get back I'm going to see more of you than I've been seeing lately. But this will be the last of the anniversary evenings." He pointed to a tray on a table near by. "Won't you bring the glasses, Boyd?" Boyd brought and filled them. Liscom held his in a shaking hand. His eyes shone dark and bright, daring at last to face the veiled future. "Friends," he began, "I thought I loved her ten years ago, when I refused that promise. But I have learned something. Love is not afraid." He lifted his glass to meet theirs. "To her," he said.—New York Daily News. Only Instance When Evangelist Jones was Disconcerted. "Traveling on the steamer Northumberland, on the Rappahannock river, last week," said Rev. E. B. Bagby of the Ninth Street Christian Church, "I fell in with a group of ministers on the upper deck, and soon we were swapping stories. The eccentricities of the famous evangelist, Sam Jones, proved a prolific topic. Rev. Mr. Butts, a Methodist minister from Gloucester county, said that the only time he had ever known Sam to be disconcerted was at H—— Va., where he had been called to conduct a union revival. The first night of the meeting the pastors of the different churches were on the platform and crowds filled the pews. All were looking for something sensational and were not disappointed. Evangelist Jones arose, turned to the Methodist preacher and said: "Brother S, how many members have you in your church? "Three hundred,' was the answer. "How many are willing to pray in public?" "About a dozen." "What is your salary?" "Five hundred dollars." "Then each minister was called in turn and interrogated upon the same points; revealing the fact that the amount of salary received by the minister and the number taking part in the services was woftly small in comparison with the size of the congregation. "Well.' said Mr. Jones, addressing the ministers, but with a sidelong glance at the audience, 'if I had such a mean, measly lot of people in my church, you know what I would do? I would get them up in a pen and send off and get a hound dog and set him on them, and say: 'Sio 'em Tige: sic 'em Tige.'" "Excuse me, Brother Jones,' said the Methodist minister, rising and stepping forward, 'but that is just what we have done. We have gathered the people together. Now, "Sic 'em, Sam; sie 'em, Sam." "If Mr. Jones was not himself the balance of the evening, it was probable that he was thinking of the hound dog." -Washington Post.

WALLS ARETORN DOWN Violent Riots Follow the Closing of Unauthorized Congregationalist Schools. Chambery, France, Aug. 5.—Violent riots and proclerical demonstrations occurred here yesterday, when action was taken in connection with the closing of the religious schools, and the police, who were enforcing the orders for the closing, were assailed by the mobs. Finally the walls of the convents had to be thrown down, and the consequent violation of the sancity of the inclosures caused their desertion. The nuns, upon being informed that the order for their suppression had gone forth, refused to open the door. They held a long parley with the chief of police through the wicket grating, but declined to admit him further. When the chief of police ordered his men to force open the gate they were charged by the mob, which refused to allow the police to injure the sisters. The mayor of the town threatened to send for the soldiary, but the people compelled him to take refuge in his own house, from which he did not dare to emerge for the rest of the day. Police Tear Down the Walls. Finally the police secured anti-clerical workmen who were willing to aid them in the suppression of the convent and with the aid of these they tore breaches in the walls. This was a difficult task, as they were solidly built and had stood for centuries. When breaches had been made in the walls and the police had entered the sacred precincts in which man's foot had never trodden since first the walls were erected the nuns left the building by the front door never to return. The people made a great demonstration when the nuns left, kneeling down to receive their blessings and forming a barrier to protect them from the insults of the anti-clericals and the police, who showed an evident desire to annoy the sisters. The nuns were escorted to the railway station by crowds of sympathizers and a large sum of money was collected on the spot and given them to defray the expenses of their journey. Most of the sisters went to the coast, whence they will take ship to a less inhospitable country. Vatican Thinks Position Grave. Rome, Aug. 5.—The vatican regards the present situation in France, arising from the closing of unauthorized congregationalist schools, as most grave, as it is now believed to be the intention of M. Combes, the French premier, to denounce the concordat. It is reported that Cardinal Rampolia, panel secretary of state, is still in favor of temporizing with France, fearing that the hostile attitude of the vatican toward the country would lead to graver complications. Some of the cardinals advocate an entire rupture with France, thus anticipating that republic, and prevent the passage there of further anti-clerical laws. FOUGHT A FIERCE BATTLE Results of Conflict Not Yet Known but Government Claims the Victory Washington, D. C., Aug. 5.—A cablegram received at the state department from Panama, dated August 5, conveys the information that there are revolutionary war vessels in the bay; that a fierce battle has been fought at Agua Dulce and that the results of the battle are not yet known. The government, however, claims the victory. The Ranger is in the bay. The gunboat Machias will not leave Cape Haytien for San Juan, Porto Rico, until some time later. The permission granted Capt. McCrea yesterday to go to San Juan to coal has been revoked. It also has been decided to hold the Ranger at Panama, owing to the condition of affairs there. LOSES COSTLY NECKLACE. Mrs. Spreckles Bursts Into Tears on Making Discovery—Reward of $6000 Offered. Paris, Aug. 5.--Scotland Yard announces a reward of $6000 for the recovery of a necklace lost by or stolen from Mrs. C. A. Spreckles of San Francisco. The necklace, which consists of a single string of magnificent pearls fastened with a ruby and diamond clasp, was bought in Paris and is estimated to be worth $20,000. Mrs. Spreckles, who is accompanied by Miss Spreckles, missed the jewels at the railroad station when on her way to take passage for America on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. She burst into tears on discovering her loss and at first thought of remaining in England until some trace of the missing pearls had been found, but later decided to leave their possible recovery in the hands of the police agents. WILL RUN 160 MILES AN HOUR Record-Breaking Time to be Made by Electric Railway. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 5.—With cars geared to run 160 miles an hour, world's records for railways and street railways will probably be broken by the General Electric Company and the Aurora, Elgin and Chicago Electric at a test run some time this fall. This speed trial will be held on a sixteen-mile stretch from Wheaton nowthwest to Elgin. The essentially new thing about the equipment of the cars to be used in the test is the high gear. But just as it takes a great deal of animal power to run a high-geared bicycle, so it will take an enormous supply of electrical power to run these high-geared surface cars. For this purpose the Aurora company has built a powerhouse at Batavia containing four engines of 25,000 horse power each, and in addition along its line has erected five substations where the power is transformed and taken to the third rail. SHATTER PRISON WALLS. Sixteen Convicts Escape from Tennessee State Penitentiary. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 5.—Word has just been received from the state prison, four miles northwest of here, that convicts blew a hole in the prison wall with dynamite, sixteen of them escaping. Three have been recaptured, and one, Ed Carney, sent up from Davidson county for safe-blowing and highway robbery, was killed. TO LEAVE EMBASSY.

New York, Aug. 5.—The Italian steamer Sardegna, from Genoa and Naples, arrived in port this morning with a small two-masted schooner in tow. Capt. Montana of the Sardegna said he fell in with the schooner drifting about helplessly with her decks filled with people. Running down near the disabled craft she was found to be the American schooner Notice of Providence, R. I., from Brave, C. V. I., with sixty-four persons on board. The schooner's mate, John F. Pina, said that the Notice sailed from Brava, Cape Verde Islands, on June 27 with sixty-five persons on board, including eleven women. On July 21, in Lat. 34, Long 65, a squall struck the schooner and disabled her. She drifted with the gulf stream. A jury rudder was rigged, but the little craft having no spare canvas for head-sails did not steer well. The provisions were running low and the water scanty. About 10 o'clock one night Mate Pina heard three blasts of the captain's whistle. He rushed on deck to see what was the trouble, but the capitain was nowhere to be seen. The vessel was searched but no one had seen him. It was thought that while brooding over his misfortunes he jumped overboard and was lost. The passengers on board the Notice are all natives of the Cape de Verde islands. They come here to join friends and find employment as laborers and fishermen. Providence, R. I., Aug. 5.—The Portuguese colony here was thrown into a great state of excitement today when news of the schooner Notice's disastrous passage with the loss of Capt. Ramos reached here. The passengers were bound for this port, where all have friends and relatives engaged on the water front and in the fishing traffic. Capt. Antonio Ramos was well known in this port from which he had sailed vessels for several years. He was 25 years of age and not married. GATES NOW A COAL BARON Acquires Heavy Interest in Company with $3,000,000 Capital and Vast Tracts of Coal Lands. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 5.—John W. Gates has announced himself as the coming coal and coke magnate of the country. With a number of friends Mr. Gates has purchased heavy interests in the Weaver Coal Company, the name of which has been changed to the Weaver Coal and Coke Company.

The company owns the Maryland Smokeless Coal Company's properties at Weaver and Leiter, W. Va., and the Belington and Beaver Creek Railway Company, which has a line of individual railway cars. DEATHBEDWEDDINGFAILS Abandoned. Marion, Ind., Aug. 5.—Miss Edith Sweetser, daughter of George Sweetser, president of Marion's leading bank and one of the wealthiest men in the city, is seriously ill with typhoid fever. She has been attended by Dr. B. C. Dale, a prominent young physician, who was her sweetheart. A consultation of physicians was held yesterday, when Miss Sweetser realized she could not recover. After their departure she worried greatly and seemed to be depressed because she was to dies before being the wife of the man she loved. Dr. Dale procured a marriage license, the girl friends of Miss Sweetser, members of the family and a minister were notified, they gathered around her death bed and the marriage was to take place to make her last moments happy, but she was attacked with a hemorrhage from which she has not recovered, and was unable to take part in the ceremony. The marriage will occur if she rallies, but the physicians do not think she will. William Collins, janitor at the Millard Avenue hotel, committed suicide by smallowing carbolic acid.

Entered in the Postoffice at Milwaukee as Second-class matter. Standard oil is the latest world-girdler. Chicago's collapsible sidewalks are working with frequency and dispatch. Mr. Rockefeller's new thatch ought to boom Standard Oil as a hair renewer. W. K. Vanderbilt paid $18,400 for the picture of "a rag, and a bone, and a hank of hair." The bicycle rider who has been looping the loop is just beginning to tumble to his business. The actress's stolen jewels story is an old one, but May Yohe's version possesses elements of novelty. The disheartening ravages of the corn beetle in Bessarabia are due of course to the seductiveness of corn juice. That Madison platform whose downfall came near involving Mrs. Nation must have contained a weak plank. Great Britain's work of reconstruction in South Africa seems to have made a good start, without an Andy Johnson. The only thing that the Armour-Swift-Morris combine will fail to control in the Chicago stockyards district is the smell. The old sailor who reports seeing a phantom ship on Green Bay must have had some of the stuff of which dreams are made. The Mexican train robbery is ascribed to Americans probably because of the Yankee trick the desperadoes played on the conductor. The German electrical inventor who has succeeded in talking over a distance of several miles, without wires, is no friend of the wire trust. Curious some Nebraska special correspondent doesn't wire a story of a farmer whose potato crop was harvested for him by the earthquake, without cost. The platform tumble at Madison may prompt Carrie Nation to hereafter test such structures with her hatchet after the manner of sounding car wheels. One million dollars in treasure from Cape Nome on one steamer ought to be acceptable proof that the people up there are really scratching gravel for a living. Mother Earth's trans-Mississippi tremble was merely an evidence of "that tired feeling" in comparison with the termagent outbreak in the West Indies. If the fight at San Francisco was a "fake," Mr. Fitzsimmons deserves credit for the thoroughness with which he gave Jeffries' face a battle-scarred appearance. Another Chicago girl has come to grief through the use of a complexion remedy. Why are girls so reckless in the pursuit of the kind of beauty that is only skin deep? The rain of furniture upon the mob which attacked the Moderate Club in Venice might be tortured into a voluminous invitation to the assailants to take the chair. M. Santos-Dumont has arrived in New York city from Europe. He came on the water, and not in the air. His ocean air voyage is something for the sweet bye and bye. Now that John W. Mackay has gone, there remains only one of the mining kings who once swayed the destinies of the Far West, and that is Senator Stewart of Nevada. If the Earl of Dunraven is made vice-roy of Ireland, it will not be because he cemented international friendships by sportsmanlike conduct during his yachting career. There is a vein of humor in the report from London that Mr. Morgan will be unable to carry his ship deal to completion because he cannot command the necesssary funds. The paragrapher of the Chicago News seems to "twit on facts" when he says, "It may be that the coal trust is keeping up the strike just to get the people used to high prices." Forest fires in the woods may account for the haste of Mr. Tracy of Salem penitentiary to get away from favorite haunts in which the sheriffs seem to be unable to catch him. CREAM CITY NOTES.

Sad Termination for One Whose Hope Oft Had Been Deferred. She had been teaching in the village for fifteen years, and the staid villagers had long ago made up their minds that Miss Elizabeth Trimble would never marry. Summer had now come, and with it vacation and a host of city boarders. Miss Elizabeth in those fifteen years had always been looking forward to these vacations with steadfast hope that some one of them would not only put an end to her teaching but her spinsterhood as well. She did not call herself a spinster, but there were a few heartless wags in the village who did. Much to the consternation of many of the old gossips of the community, the undying hope of the schoolmarm at last looked as if it might be realized. Among the summer boarders was a young clergyman, who had studied too hard, so his doctors said, and who had come to the country from his city rectory for his health. Rev. Mr. Brown happened to board at the house which had sustained the life of Miss Elizabeth Trimble all those fifteen years, and the two found themselves together at odd times. "I got a letter from my sexton today," at last said Rev. Mr. Brown, as he took a step toward the door one evening after dinner. The two had again been left alone. "Good or bad news?" inquired Miss Elizabeth Trimble, as she felt a sort of misgiving. "Both good and bad," was the reply. "They want me to come back to work. The substitute has proved a poor stick. Many of my congregation have not yet left the city, and they want me to take my vacation a little later in the summer." "But why good news? Are you glad to go back?" asked the school teacher, now thoroughly alarmed. "Bad, because I think that I ought to stay here a while longer for my health." "Is that all?" she almost whispered. "All except that I like the quiet out here," he said. "You see at home there are eleven children, six of whom were by my first wife, and five by my second, of whom I was bereaved only last year." The voice of Miss Elizabeth was now inaudible, so that the minister did not hear her say: "Again."—New York Tribune. A British young woman, a teacher in the Constantinople College for Girls, fell in love recently with an Arab sheikh. He converted her to Mohommedanism and then married her. CHARMING MANNERS. Good manners are merely expressions of thoughtfulness. There are plenty of women with Gainsborough hands and beautiful swanbended necks and divine topknots and luminous eyes and peaches-and-sugar complexions who aren't beautiful. Why? Because they are rude. Very good reason, don't you think? There is the peacock lady, the woman who has a fine profile and knows it, and who banks on that profile to carry her through the pleasant task of making a collection of friends. One can admire a profile once or twice or three times, but there's a hollowness about that kind of beautifying that you couldn't fill up in a million years. She has nothing back of the profile. There is the lady of the acidulated countenance. She always looks as if she had been at a bargain sale of dill pickles. She is a sort of human persimmon. The frowns on her forehead charge the air with mental lemonade. Money could not hire her to smile, for she is the sort of woman who, in her thoughts, is always berating the world and all the people in it. In her haste to hate she forgets how much there is to love and admire. Everything that is discouraging in life is as big as a mountain, while anything that is splendid and inspiring cannot be found without a special surveying instrument. A third type is the woman who says "Well, that's I-I have to be the way I am," and who promptly goes ahead and does a lot of things she shouldn't, and says a lot of things she oughtn't, and prattles and tattles and makes her little world generally topsy-turvy and unrestful. If she is so disagreeable when she is she, she ought to be somebody else. Anyhow, if her model is not a good one she should take it back and change it. Perhaps you are familiar with another type. Her motto is "It's all right for me, but it wouldn't be all right for some other woman." She rejoices over the fact that she has an individual air that makes her immune against comment. Don't believe it, Mrs. Self-Elated. What is rude in some other woman is rude in you. I like a woman who, when I meet her on the street, has a cherry little sm'ie all ready for me, and whose soft greeting has a sweet little melody all its own. Such a woman makes the nightingales sing in one's heart. She doesn't send your soul into deep mourning as does the whiny lady, and the grouchy person and the woman with woes, woes, woes, until you can't rest. Plenty of people have troubles, and they don't shake them out and beat them and hang them up to air all the time, and display them for the sake of entertaining their acquaintances. There's no such thing as being without troubles, and when you run across a woman who gives you a smile and a bright little word don't tell yourself that it's easy enough for her, she hasn't anything to worry about. She may have, all wrapped up in the dress suit of her heart, more troubles to the square inch that you ever heard tell of. One never knows. One can do a lot of pleasant things under the guise of good manners. It is good manners to rise when someone enters a room. That little courtesy is merely expressing pleasure and attention to the newcomer. Why not? It doesn't hurt you. It shows graciousness, tact, thoughtfulness. Some people have an idea that good manners are merely a matter of being painfully uppish and uncomfortable polite. It's nothing of the sort. It is just living decently and accumulating a little self-respect. Every little while some questioning individual pops up and asks about happiness and what brings it. Good manners bring happiness, keen happiness. They lift one up from the midst of the commonplace, the selfishnesses of life, the sordid, morbid things. They are, really, a matter of giving pleasure to others. And there is no happiness on earth that strikes in deeper than that which comes from being kind. By the same manner of argument it is easy to figure out that the sharpest conscience hurt is the one that comes from injuring some person other than one's self. It doesn't pay to be grumpy. Not a bit of it. It doesn't pay to be a member of the Weeps Society, either. The only thing that pays is a brave heart filled up to the garret with simple, honest charity. You've seen these awful parlors—haven't you—in the country districts, where the shades are always drawn, and Mr. Moth has garden parties in every corner of the carpet, and funeral pictures hang from the wall, and when you open the door you are struck deaf and dumb and blind and senseless with the close mustiness that chases out into the fresh air? Some people shut up their hearts just that same way. Open up the windows. Let the sunshine mob the place. Scatter the moths helter-skelter and dig out the corners. You will have a nice, clean, healthy, hygienic reeling after your heart housecleaning. First thing you know you will have a party there. All the chairs in your heart will be filled with beautiful thoughts. Honest. And you will wonder how you ever lived under the old regime. It's a fine thing, I tell you, to learn how to scare away the bogies. And that's it.—Chicago Record-Herald. BARGAIN HUNTERS Clothing to fit without being measured for.

BEFORE USING THE PO Making melody in your heart unto the Lord—Ephesians, v., 16. All music is not for the ear. A master painting, the colors all harmonizing one with the other, is music on canvas. A grand cathedral, every part harmonizing with every other part, is music in stone. A garden of flowers, filling the air with sweet odors that please, is music in perfume. Words written or spoken, that thrill our souls, harmonizing with conscience and truth, is music in thought, and sometimes the emotions of the soul, too deep for utterance, make music that we cannot express, it is too delicate to label and too sweet to describe. First of all, faith is music, in that it is harmony with facts. Christianity is a religion of facts. We look above us and we see facts expressed in star and planet; we look about us and see the facts of nature expressed in flower and tree and landscape, and from these facts we infer another fact behind them all, and when we open the Book we see that fact revealed, the fact of a living and loving God, friend and helper of his people. We accept the fact of man's sin that debases, pollutes, condemns; we proclaim the fact of man's redemption, Jesus Christ born a babe into the world, growing into manhood, suffering on the cross, rising from the dead, ascending up to glory. To believe in these facts is to make melody in our hearts unto the Lord; to disbelieve them is to make discord. Again—hope is music in that it is harmony with the faithfulness of God. God has made some promises and I base my hope upon these promises. I believe that they will be fulfilled, because I have trusted him in the past, and he has never disappointed me. Despair is discord. To refuse to hope when God promises is to make grating discord in his ear. Obedience is music, in that it is harmony with the authority of God. Disobedience is discord. A revolt against authority may be treason; a revolt against law is crime. Anarchy is the discord of refusing to be ruled by law and a revolt against love is sin. The son obeys the father, not so much because he must, or because he ought, as because he wants to. He is not thinking of father's power to compel obedience, but of the happy privilege of obedience. He just wants to obey him because he loves him. Is that your attitude toward God? Righteousness is music, in that it is harmony with holiness and truth. Right relation is music; wrong relation is discord. No truth ever makes discord with another truth. You sometimes see ten or fifteen instruments in one orchestra, each one different, and yet each one in perfect harmony with all the rest. And so it is with scientific truth, moral truth, historic truth, religious truth, spiritual truth. Truth harmonizes with every truth in the universe. It is one great orchestra of music that sends up its melody into the heart of God. Sympathy is music, in that it is harmony with the attitude of God toward people and conditions about us. God enters into the condition of every soul on this earth. What we need to do is to get the attitude of God toward all people. We know that his attitude toward sin is one of unrelenting hostility, that his attitude toward all kinds of uncleanness is one of opposition. When we come into God's attitude toward all men, we make melody in our hearts unto him. Humility is music, in that it is harmony with the greatness of God. The lowest note may harmonize with the highest and discord may result when the low note tries to climb out of its place up toward the high note. "When I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon, and the stars which thou hast ordained, what is man that thou art mindful of him?" It is not fitting that "an atom of this atom world" should be inflated with his own self-importance. Conceit often parades as self-respect and glories in its shame. Coleridge tells of a man who never mentioned his own name without taking off his hat. Real greatness and true humility are Siamese twins; they are united by a living ligament of grace. A man of large acquaintance with celebrities told me the other day that the greatest men he knew were most unconscious of greatness. They know their limitations and are humbled as they see themselves in contrast with what they desire to be. Only little men must increase their size by inflation. Those who put on airs do so to hide their nakedness, but they only make themselves ridiculous, for people can see through airs, however thick. As one rises in real worth of character, he sinks in the scale of self-conceit. As we rise toward heaven, self becomes smaller, until, by and by, when we reach the height of heavenly character, self will not amount to much. When such a climax of character has been reached, the discord of pride will be gone and the harmony of humility, which makes music unto the Lord, will fill the soul. Joy is music, in that it is harmony with the will and pleasure of God. Whatever is against God's will is discord, and, when there is discord in the soul, there can be no joy. Sin, therefore, destroys joy. There may be fun at the expense of purity, amusement at the expense of good morals, and pleasure at the expense of consecration; but such fun, amusement and pleasure banish joy from the soul, and no sane man can afford to sacrifice a joy which is a foretaste of heaven for a fun, amusement or pleasure which is only the muddy froth and foam of earth. While we keep right with God there is joy in the soul which makes melody unto the Lord, but when sin puts us out of right relation with God the soul is filled with grating discord and no laughter produced by fun, amusement, or pleasure can prevent it from rasping the conscience and giving pain. Let us guard our souls as the master musician guards his instrument, that he may keep it in perfect tune, if we would be filled with joy, and the pleasure of God is the keynote with which every faculty of the soul must harmonize, if we would make melody unto the Lord. When all that pleases him pleases us we have reached heaven on earth. Gratitude is music, in that it is harmony with the kindness of God. This is the heart of the text, "Giving thanks always for all things unto God." There is no room here for the discord of complaint. The purpose of God in redemption is to bring the discordant nature and life of man into perfect harmony with his own nature and will. God uses every means to reach the soul of man, and bring forth the response of of gratitude and love. Nature about him appeals to his sense of the beautiful and the stars above him bid him look up and worship their Creator. But the love of Jesus is his irresistible appeal. May we come into such harmony with God that every faculty of our being will vibrate in response to the appeal, and all the time make melody in our hearts to the Lord. UNANSWERED PRAYERS. There is a sense in which all prayers are answered either by obtaining the object sought or by securing something far better adapted to the ultimate end of all true prayer—perpetual happiness through unbroken goodness. All prayers will be answered when they accord with wisdom, unselfishness and the highest good. To answer every petition literally under the present order of things would make infinite wisdom the slave of human caprice, absolute holiness a partner in human folly, and boundless compassion the author of endless cruelty. Prayers are sometimes unanswered because of the character and tendency of the objects sought. Men, like children, frequently crave those things which would be destructive to their best interests, both here and hereafter. Like Elijah under the juniper tree, they pray for that which falls far below the highest good, and like Paul, with his thorn in the flesh, we too often seek ease rather than strength. It is better to have grace to bear burdens than to be weak and free from burdens. Prayers sometimes remain unanswered because they spring from wrong motives. The soul of real prayer is unselfishness. Prayer in the case of Simon Magus was ignorant, because it sought the mere gratification of worldly pride. The farmer who prays to save himself from labor will never secure a harvest. Israel at the Red Sea may call upon God until doomsday without avail unless they obey the divine "Go forward!" Maliciousness will find no aid or comfort in prayer. The "as thou wilt" of Jesus is the true standard of acceptable petition. Sometimes answers are sought in vain because divine methods of answering are rejected. There is no use praying for rain without clouds. If one prays for a disposition of sweet sympathy he may be compelled to accept the breaking power of sorrow. There is a divine method in every natural and spiritual realm. Every grace of the spirit must be purchased by sacrifice. The chisel and the mallets are instruments by which beauty clothes the marble. Purity often comes only by fire. The greatest attainments come at the greatest cost. The pebbles are smooth and symmetrical by the crashing of the floods on the shore; Joseph's troubles paved the way to Joseph's throne. Through a prison window John Bunyan saw the triumphs of his pilgrim. True prayer must accept the price of its answer. Pray to see Europe and you must accept the ocean voyage. Pray for physical power and you must accept discipline. Pray for spiritual power and you must accept self-sacrifice. Prayer is sometimes unanswered because of nonobservance of the conditions of true prayer. A purpose to do the will of God is the fundamental requirement in prayer. Without this prayer is not heard. God listens to man's voice when man listens to God's voice. It must also be addressed to the Father in the name of the only acceptable One—His Son, Jesus Christ. Cain prayed in his own name and went out with fallen countenance. Abel came through the lamb of atonement and was accepted. The motion of human prayer to be effective must be seconded by the Divine Mediator. When prayer is prompted by the Holy Spirit, accompanied by simple, childlike confidence, offered in the name of the Savior, from a pure motive, and the petitioner is willing to accept the wise, just and divine method of answering, it will be heard in heaven and granted by Iufinite Love.

The only possible improvement is to attune the music of our faith to the keynote of his name. Every forward movement must be through Christ, the door.

Relics of the Days When Matches Were unknown. Some customs seem to have as many lives as the proverbial cat. In the good old days of Queen Bess every smoker had in his outfit a pair of tobacco tongs. If he were a gallant of the court, they were made of silver, if a substantial merchant, of brass, but if a workingman, of cheap iron ware. They were a necessary implement to the smoker. Matches were unknown, and the only available fire in the daytime was the blazing log upon the hearth. With the poker a small piece of glowing ember was broken off, which with the tongs was applied to the freshly charged pipe. Hundreds of these tongs are to be found in the collections of antiquarians. Most of them are clumsy objects, but a few are so graceful in outline and artistic in workmanship that they seem to be of French and Flemish rather than English origin. These tongs were revived on a small scale some twenty years ago, when they were employed for holding cigarettes. The cigarette tongs were from two to four inches in length connected at the upper end by a smart spring, which kept the ends together when in a position of rest. When used the smoker opened them and caught the cigarette between the tips close up to the mouth end. The contrivance enabled the user to burn the cigarette down to the last whiff, and protected the fingers from the discolor- --- WHAT GLOSSINE WILL DO.

The new tongs 'shown nowadays are somewhat larger, and are intended to hold cigars as well as to reach a coal from the fireplace to a pipe. They are made of iron, steel and gun metal, and many of the latter are said to be manufactured from warships, cannon and other trophies of the late war with Spain.—New York Evening Post. In several parts of the world a resinous substance, called ozocerite, and bearing considerable resemblance to beeswax, is found, usually in connection with rock salt and coal. There are deposits in Austria, Russia, Roumania, Egypt, Algeria, Canada and Mexico, but ozocerite has, so far, not been discovered in sufficient quantities to pay for mining anywhere except in the district of Rorysylay, in Austrian Galicia, and on an island on the west coast of the Caspian sea. In mining this mineral wax shafts are sunk until a bed or "nest" of ozocerite is struck. Then connecting galleries are driven. There is considerable danger, and many lives have been lost in consequence of the sudden forcing up of the soft wax into the shafts by the enormous pressure to which it is subjected. It is used largely for manufacturing ceresin, which is employed, together with beeswax, for making wax candles, as well as in the manufacture of phonographic cylinders, and for many similar purposes.—Brooklyn Citizen. --- GLOSSINE THE WONDER QUEEN OF ALL HAIR TONICS FOR DIRECTIONS BEFORE AFTER SEE INSIDE STRAIGHTENS CURLY KINKY KNAPPY HAIR CONTINENTAL CHEMICAL CO ST.

Oshkosh, Wis., Aug. 6.—[Special.]—Samuel Burrows, a young farmer residing at Nekimi, about five miles from here, who made a murderous assault upon two young men yesterday afternoon, was surrounded by a posse this morning. He resisted capture and was shot several times and died while being brought to the city. It is believed that Burrows was temporarily insane when he attacked the two young men, who were out riding their bicycles at the time of the assault. The names of the two men are W. L. Wentzel and Paul Schmiedl. The former was shot through the calf and in the face, while the latter sustained injuries about the head, face and left arm. Burrows fired several times at them while they were passing his farm. The young men hastened to a neighboring farm where they were attended to. Word was then sent to the city and the authorities were notified. Sheriff Potter organized a posse, which consisted of Under Sheriff Spalding, B. A. Bowen, Eugene Robbins, A. Montag, R. Abrahams and C. Williams. When this posse reached the scene of the assault last evening they found Burrows marching up and down in front of his house, carrying a gun, and it was decided to wait until morning before attempting to capture him. Early this morning the posse again went to the farm of the young man. He was still on guard and when the officers arrived he opened fire with his gun. He then retired to the cellar and after reloading, he again fired upon the men. R. Abrahams and A. Montag were struck by the shot and both sustained painful wounds. While in the cellar loading his gun the members of the posse succeeded in approaching the rear of the house and several shots were fired into the basement. Burrows was hit twice, once in the leg, breaking it, and once in the face. The officers then made a rush and succeeded in overpowering the madman. He was then loaded into a wagon, but he expired on the way to the city. The officers had a hard time getting him under control, and it took four men to hold him in spite of his fatal injuries. COLORED MEN FIGHT WITH CARVING KNIVES Milwaukee Negro Locked Up at Waukesha on Charge of Assault with Intent to Kill. Waukesha, Wis., Aug. 6.—[Special.]—Two negroes employed at the Fountain house got into a fight last evening in the kitchen and as a result Lucius Brinn received several bad cuts from a carving knife wielded by George Ewing of Milwaukee. The latter is held in the jail and this morning his hearing was set for Friday morning with bail of $500. He is charged with assault with intent to kill. Ewing said last night: "It should never have happened. I started jollying Brinn about a woman who had come to see him, telling him that he was a cheap guy and did not spend enough money on his female friend. He got sore and then we got into a scrap." From the information received by the officers it seems that after a few hot words had been exchanged between the men Ewing picked up a long meat knife, 22 inches from end to end, and began the slashing. His victim was unable to appear in court this morning, having received bad cuts about the hands and body. Ewing's hand was somewhat cut also. CLAIMS MAN STOLE HER DIAMOND RING. Wife of Appleton Baseball Team Manager Causes an Arrest to be Made Menasha, Wis., Aug. 6.—[Special.]—Mrs. Mary Gerritts, wife of the manager of the Appleton baseball team, yesterday caused the arrest of Joseph Wirtz of Appleton, who, she alleges in her complaint, robbed her of a diamond valued at $85.

According to the story of both Mrs. Gerritts and Wirtz the two attended a dance at Menasha and that the diamond transfer took place there. MILK IS POISONOUS. La Crosse Cattle Affected with a Deadly Disease—Twenty-one of the Animals Ordered Killed. La Crosse, Wis., Aug. 6.—[Special.]—Health Officer Murphy and a local bacteriologist have made a microscopic examination of the blood of some dead cows here and find there is no doubt of its being deadly anthrax.

Wausau, Wis., Aug. 6.—After badly wounding his sister and a brother with a gun which was thought not loaded, the 7-year-old son of John Wojciechowski, who resides on a farm near here, ran into the woods and although his parents and neighbors searched for him, he could not be located. It is thought that the young lad became so frightened when he saw the damage he had wrought that he fled into the woods, after informing his parents of the accident. The boy was playing with a Winchester rifle which was supposed not to be loaded. The weapon was discharged, blowing off the calf of one of his sister's legs. The bullet next passed through the ankle of his 2-year-old brother, necessitating the amputation of the injured limb. After the shooting the boy ran to the field upon which his parents were at work and after notifying them of the accident, fled from them. Later the lad was found hiding in the woods.

LOSES PRESENCE OF MIND Janesville Hired Girl Becomes Rattled at Critical Moment and Allows Charge to Drown. Janesville, Wis., Aug. 6. Instead of attempting to rescue the 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. U. S. Hall of Johnstown, who had fallen into the cistern, the hired girl who had charge of the children, ran half a mile to a neighbor's house for assistance. When she returned with the help, it was found that the little boy had drowned in eight inches of water.

Madison, Wis., Aug. 4.—[Special.] Memorial services were held here yesterday at the First Congregational Church, for the late Dr. C. K. Adams, the former president of the University of Wisconsin, who died at his new home at Redlands, Cal., last week: There was a large attendance of university and townspeople, the big church being filled to overflowing. Ex-Senator W. F. Vilas, member of the board of university regents, presided and paid a brief tribute to the memory of the departed scholar. Dr. E. G. Updike, pastor of the church, spoke briefly upon the relations of Dr. Adams to the church and Prof. Turner of the University of Wisconsin spoke on the relation of Dr. Adams to education, while Acting President Birge spoke along the same lines. Prof. F. A. Parker, head of the musical department of the university, had charge of the music. A quartette, consisting of the Misses Bessie Brand, Adelaide Forsman and Messrs. W. T. Mosley and W. G. Hamilton sang a number of selections. All of the addresses were of the most eulogistic nature. Senator Vilas particularly spoke with much feeling. "The expiring breath of Charles Kendall Adams," he said, "wafted to the realms above a soul ennobled by high ideals which had inspired the love and grateful remembrance of many men." He spoke of the great educational work of Dr. Adams, and how he had climbed from the lowliest to the highest stations in life. "His self-denial, industry and patience," he declared, "made his career and example an inspiration to the youth of the country. Dr. Adams' contributions to society were of the most valuable and enduring nature. Even at his death he added all that was left possible for him to add—the consecration of his life savings to the cause of education. For these noble acts Wisconsin would long hold him in affectionate remembrance." Dr. Birge said that the qualities that made Dr. Adams a great educator were his faith in the capacity of young men and young women for higher education and his faith in the public to supply this education.

SHEBOYGAN MAN FALLS FORTY FEET AND LIVES James McGinniss Suffers Compound Fracture of Right Leg as a Result of Accident. Sheboygan, Wis., Aug. 4.—[Special.] Last year James McGinniss, a carpenter, fell from the superstructure of the new dock of the C. Reiss Coal Company and received an injury to the spine. Saturday evening, just before quitting work for the day, he fell from a height of forty feet on the new salt warehouse addition, and received a compound fracture of the right leg with a broken left arm.

Loss by Blaze Estimated to Reach $10,000—Incendiarism is Suspected. Menasha, Wis., Aug. 4.—The Menasha Paper Company's plant, located here, was badly damaged by fire yesterday afternoon, it being estimated that the loss will amount to over $10,000. The cause of the fire is not known, but incendiarism is suspected by the officials of the company. It is thought that some of the union mill hand sympathizers may be at the bottom of the matter. JAMES PEDIX DIDN'T COMMIT SUICIDE. Coroner's Jury Finds that He Died of Heart Failure Caused by Overwork. Fond du Lac., Wis., Aug. 4.—[Special.]—The coroner's jury in the case of James Pedix, who died suddenly last week, returned a verdict of death from heart failure caused by overwork. It was generally reported that Mr. Pedix had hung himself after taking a dose of Paris green, but this was not the case. It is unknown how the report was started. ROBBERS LOSE BOOTY. Kewaskum Residence Twice Entered, but on Second Trip Thieves Leave Stolen Goods. Kewaskum, Wis., Aug. 4.—[Special.]—The residence of John Groeschel of this place was robbed last Saturday night of about $60 worth of jewelry and silver ware Sunday night. However, another attempt was made to rob the same place the next night, but Mr. Groeschel was awakened and the robbers were scared away. In their anxiety, to leave, the robbers left the valuables secured the night before. A posse is now in pursuit of the robbers. FOREST FIRES RAGING. Threaten Great Destruction Near Mercer and Manitowish, Where There Has Been But Little Rain. Mercer, Wis., Aug. 4.—[Special.]—Forest fires raging in this vicinity and near Manitowish have caused severe loss to farmers and threaten widespread destruction. There has been no rain for some time and everything is dry and inflammable so that efforts which have been made to check the progress of the flames have been unavailing. At present it looks like ruin to many. GOOD SHOWING MADE BY WISCONSIN CROPS. Madison, Wis., Aug. 4.—[Special.] The oat crop in Wisconsin will be only $ \frac{1}{2} $ per cent. below the average in spite of a loss of $ 13\frac{1}{2} $ per cent. from lodging, according to the report of Secretary True of the state board of agriculture, issued late this afternoon and based upon reports received from forty-nine sections of the state. The average for spring wheat is 100 per cent. and for barley $ 102\frac{1}{2} $ STARKWEATHER TO RUN. Former Minister and Mayor of Superior in Politics Again. West Superior, Wis., Aug. 4.—Ex Mayor Charles S. Starkweather of this city may become the candidate for senator from the Eleventh district of this state. This announcement has been made in view of the deadlock which is now existing in Douglas county. Should Dresser win out in Polk county, Mr. Starkweather will be an independent candidate and it is thought that with the support of the Democratic party he will be able to secure election. Mr. Starkweather formerly was the minister of the Church of the Redeemer in this city. He ran for alderman several years ago and was elected. Two years later, while sitting in the convention hall, his name was proposed for mayor. He accepted the nomination and was again elected to office. During his term he was charged with boodling. He was found guilty and dismissed from office. Two years after that he again ran for mayor to vindicate himself and he again was elected. Since that time he has not held any public office. GETS INTO TROUBLE BY VIOLATING WISCONSIN GAME LAWS. C. Shaffner Had Fifty Pounds of Venison in Ice Box at Twin Lakes, Ashland County. Madison, Wis., Aug. 2.—[Special.]—The arrest of C. Shaffner, a Chicago attorney, for having venison in his possession in the closed season, was today reported to the state game warden's office by Deputy Oberholzer. Shaffner occupies an island in Twin Lakes, Vilas county, which he owns, and which is a somewhat well known resort. In his ice house the deputy found fifty pounds of venison. He took a few pounds of this for evidence and walked Shaffner seven miles through the woods to Conover, there taking the train for Eagle River, where Shaffner pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $25 and costs. WILLIAM L. BOLTON ADJUDGED INSANE. Former Principal of the North Greenfield School, Who Forged a Check, to Go to State Asylum. Racine, Wis., Aug. 2.—William L. Bolton, formerly principal of the North Greenfield high school, who was arrested in Milwaukee on the charge of forgery, was brought to this city last night. The court appointed physicians to examine Bolton as to his sanity and he was adjudged insane. He will be taken to the state hospital. The breakdown of the young man's system is said to be due to overwork and study. He is 29 years old and was recognized as a leading educator. SINGER CARRIED AWAY. Prima Donna at Northern Chautauqua Has an Exciting Experience at Marinette. Marinette, Wis., Aug. 2.—[Special.]—The weather so far has been perfect for the Northern Chautauqua Assembly and the attendance has been greater than at any former assembly. Miss Stone gave an illustrated lecture on her experiences last night to an immense audience. The Edison Projectiscope Company gives its last entertainment this evening and tomorrow morning Dr. MacArthur of New York, a Baptist clergyman, will lecture and in the evening Rev. Father Kelly, an eminent Catholic lecturer, will talk of "Joan of Arc." Miss Cecilia knode, the prima donna of the Edison Projectiscope Company, had a narrow escape from being carried out into the bay in a rowboat with no oars. She was seated in the boat which was tied to the Chautauqua dock. The rope suddenly parted and she began to drift out. There was no one near the dock and her cries for aid were not heard. When it came time for her appearance she was missed and a searching party was organized. A steam launch, after securing the bay, found her. She was terribly excited over her experience and it was some time before she was able to go on with her number. FOUR NEARLY DROWN. Boat Containing Party of Ladies Sailed by Gardner Greene Capsizes at Oconomowoc, Wis., Aug. 2.—[Special.]—Three young ladies of Milwaukee had a narrow escape from drowning while yachting with Gardner Greene of that city. The yacht capsized in the middle of the lake during a squall. Miss Greene, one of the party, is an expert swimmer and she and her brother did their best to save the other two. While struggling in the water Mr. Greene was seized with a cramp and was nearly drowned. The young people managed to hold onto the overturned boat until help arrived from the shore. SHOT FIRED AT CHIEF. La Crosse, Wis., Aug. 2.—[Special.] A bullet struck the city hall walls just above the heads of Chief of Police Bryne and Patrolman Horschak, who were sitting on the lawn. It was of large caliber and just missed the chief's head. He thinks it was a stray shot and not aimed at him. CASH BAD MONEY ORDERS. Insurance Agent Unknowingly Introduces Swindler to His Friends. Janesville, Wis., Aug. 2.—A young man giving his name as John Ward and his home as Missouri, came here last week and applied to the local agent of an insurance company for a position. The agent introduced him to many of the company's patrons here. Saturday evening Ward called on one of the patrons and cashed a postoffice order, and on Monday and Tuesday called on others and cashed more. When they were presented at the postoffice for payment today all three were found to have been raised from smaller sums. The police are looking for the Missouri. DRIVER'S NARROW ESCAPE. Frightened Horse Runs Into Open Draw at Green Bay. Green Bay, Wis., Aug. 2.—[Special.] —Louis Le Duc, driver for Brauns & Van, grocers, had a narrow escape from drowning yesterday.

Mueller Company will Make Improvements at State Capitol. Madison, Wis., Aug. 2.—The Mueller Company of Milwaukee was awarded the contract for the new heating, lighting and ventilating system of the capitol. The contract amounts to $60,000, the limit of the appropriation. Adopt Short Working Hours. Kaukauna, Wis., Aug. 2.—[Special.] The eight-hour shift or system of work was adopted at the mills of the Thilmany Paper Company here today among the firemen only. The men received the notice two weeks ago, and coming as it did as a complete voluntary proposition from the company to the men, it was received with great pleasure by all the employees interested. News has been received here of the death in Ceylon of Mrs. Colville B. Wilmot, granddaughter of Cyrus W. Field. Carlos Zaldo, secretary of state of Cuba, arrived here and proceeded immediately to Liberty, N. Y., where his wife is seriously ill. The Erie Railroad Company has expelled a small army of bootblacks from their ferry boats between New York and Jersey City. This will cause some uneasiness to commuters, but will relieve other passengers of a nuisance. It is reported at Newport in social circles that Mr. and Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont will return to this country the middle of August and that they will bring as their guest the Duchess of Marlborough. The duchess has not been to this country since her marriage. The American steam yacht Cherokee arrived at New York on Wednesday from Greenock, Scotland, after a fine run of eleven days. The Cherokee was owned by William Clark, the thread manufacturer, who died abroad. His body was brought on the Cherokee. A man of good education and fine appearance, who is under arrest, admits that he has been making about $1800 a year by street begging. He adds that he could have done better if he had worked harder—"but a man must have some time to spend his money after he has got it, you know." The young people of Quogue, a popular summer resort on the Long Island coast near New York, are preparing a unique comedy. They are arranging an entertainment where they will appear as living copies of well-known advertisements. The identity of those who will represent the characters is being kept a profound secret, which adds to the interest. The marriage of Miss Alice Hay to James W. Wadsworth, Jr., will take place September 30 at the Falls, Newbury, N. H., the country home of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hay. Only the immediate relatives and a few intimate friends will be present. After a short wedding journey the young people will go to Geneseo, N. Y., for the rest of the autumn. Mrs. Burton Harrison, who arrived on the Celtic the other night after traveling through Europe for a six months' rest gathering material for future work, said that she had done no writing during her absence. "I want to write a human book or play," she said. "Something may come of the play idea. If I saw a historical novel in my path I would go round the block to get away from it." Charles Frohman has consented to an arrangement proposed by the Henry B. Harris Company, by which he contracts to supply all the dramatic material for the new Hudson theater for the next five years. This theater is now in course of construction on Forty-fourth street, just off Long Acre square. While the stage end will be entirely under Mr. Frohman's control, the manager of the theater will be Henry B. Harris. From Union square to the postoffice in eight minutes is one of the quick trips promised by the Inter-Borough Company, which will build the new subway system. About 3000 men will be employed, and they will receive in the aggregate nearly $2,000,000 a year in wages. This is based on the mileage as laid out, but the extension of the system will bring greater mileage and a consequent increase in the number of employees. Miss Virginia Penny, who has spent almost a lifetime in seeking occupations for women in the United States so that they might be independent, is in an almost helpless condition in two small rooms in the rear of a tenement house at 134 West Sixty-first street. About eleven months ago Miss Penny, who is 73 years old, fell while leaving her rooms and injured her knee. In past years she printed several books, from which she realized but little. She is now in straitened circumstances. Andrew Carnegie's gifts of millions of dollars to found libraries do not exempt him from the annoyance of labor troubles between the workmen and the subcontractors who are constructing his palace at Fifth avenue and Ninetieth street. Two hundred and fifty building workmen have laid down their tools and work is suspended by a general strike of the men, in sympathy with the striking painters and decorators. So it does not look as though Mr. Carnegie will be able to occupy his new house this winter, as he intended. Golf was played in Wall street the other morning. The president of a big bank had just ascended the steps at the entrance of the big building when suddenly, in the middle of a conversation with a friend on a business subject, he said: "Wait a moment until I make a stroke." Then, reversing his umbrella and using it for a driver, he landed a peachstone lying at his feet on the top step clear across the street into a brother banker, whose body made a very convenient bunker. Then the business conversation was resumed after the golfer had enjoyed a chuckle at the success of his stroke. The only man allowed to go hunting for blackbirds with a gun within the limits of Greater New York is John Donahue; but his hapiness is tempered by the fact that he is compelled to use blank cartridges. There were never so many blackbirds seen in Central park as this summer. They have so infested the mall as to become a nuisance. John is a keeper, and it is his business to parade up and down the mall with a gun on his shoulder. Now and then he fires it, and the birds make a break for the wilder corners of the park. Most of them have taken the hint and remain away from the mall altogether. The newest occupation for women in New York is as an "emergency assistant." This assistant stands ready to help her acquaintances through times of domestic storm and stress for a consideration. She will take charge of a home and children when its mistress is suddenly called away; she will superintend the housecleaning or run a wedding, and is ready to come to the rescue of the distressed housewife whose servants have left her on the arrival of unexpected visitors. As may be seen the occupation offers infinite possibilities to the woman of education and refinement, tact and common sense, and some experience of general domestic problems. Society learned recently of the engagement of Miss Julia Seymour Clark and Horace Chase Stebbins of New York city. Her engagement was announced two years ago last spring to Herbert L. Hunt, a son of the late Richard M. Hunt, the well-known architect, and was broken quite unexpectedly the following fall. No reason was made public. Miss Clark is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Crawford Clark. Mr. Clark is a millionaire and a director in the Mary The funeral of John W. Mackay, the famous American millionaire, will take place in New York. Mrs. Mackay and her children will attend the funeral as chief mourners. Clarence Hungerford Mackay, who, by the death of his father, John W. Mackay, becomes the head of the family and of the great business interests which it controls, has for year been familiar with the various business enterprises in which his father was engaged. Up to the present time he has never taken active part in the direction of the Mackay business concerns, but it is well known among the friends of the family and among the men who were the business associates of John W. Mackay that Clarence had the confidence of his father in business matters, who gave him credit for having suggested some of his successful business schemes. The fact that Clarence showed talent in the direction of business was a source of especial comfort to Mr. Mackay after the death of his elder son, John W., Jr., who was killed in France in 1895. Despite the fact that "Willie," as John W., Jr., was called in the family, was ardently devoted to music, being a fine performer on the violin and a student of music in all its branches, he was a good business man, and his father regarded him as a worthy successor. After the death of the promising young man, Mr. Mackay discovered that his son Clarence also possessed business qualities of no mean order, despite the fact that he had not been conspicuous in that respect during the lifetime of his brother. Northern Securities Company. His gift to his daughter upon her marriage will be a handsome residence on Riverside drive. Mr. Stebbins is a descendant of the late Justice Salmon P. Chase of Ohio. According to Town Topics, Peter Martin's bachelor dinner at Berger's two nights before he wedded Lily Oelrichs cost about $1500 more than he bargained for. It lasted until between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, and for the next twelve hours none of those present made an appearance in their usual haunts. The affair closed with a waltz. The men took tropical palms for partners, and whirled them around the ball room until the pots fell off. Of course the palms were ruined, and the pots were wrecked beyond repair. Berger had borrowed every palm he could secure from the florists, and many of them were prize winners. Some had been entered for the Horticultural Society's exhibit at the Casino. Harris, Gates & Co. will send back a $20 bill which the firm received today from a woman in Missouri, instead of obliging the woman by so investing it that it will yield $200, the amount that she wants in order to go to California. She said in her letter that she had surreptitiously removed the bill from the family Bible, between the leaves of which it had been placed by her husband, who had proposed to deposit it later in a savings bank. The woman had evidently read of the millions that the firm is credited with having made in the July corn deal and the Louisville & Nashville and other railroad deals. Hers is not the only request of the sort that has been received by Harris, Gates & Co. lately, and they do not want to establish a precedent by paying $200 for $20 bills. According to an evening paper a handsome young woman, an artists' model, paraded Fifth avenue the other day dressed only in a bathing suit. She first attracted attention of Forty-eighth street. Men were delighted and women appalled at the sight, and before long a big throng was trailing after her. Finally she became sensitive and turned quickly. She faced her followers and said sharply: "Well, what is it you all want? It is just like you vulgar New York people. Can't you go about and mind your own business?" After giving vent to her feelings thus she hailed a passing hansom and requested to be driven to the Alpine at Thirty-third street and Broadway. At the Alpine it was learned that she was an artists' model and that she was posing for a painting for one of the artists living there. Mrs. Elizabeth Drew Barstow Stoddard, wife of Richard Henry Stoddard, the poet, died the other afternoon at her home, 329 East Fifteenth street. Mrs. Stoddard had been suffering from influenza for several weeks past. The disease was complicated by pneumonia and pleurisy, and her death had been expected for several days. Mrs. Stoddard was born at Mattapoisett, Mass., on May 6, 1823. She was married to Mr. Stoddard in 1850 in this city, which has since been their home. She herself was well known in the literary world as a poet and novelist. During and shortly after the Civil War Mrs. Stoddard wrote three novels, "The Morgesons" (1862), "Two Men" (1865), and "Temple House," (1867). All are studies of New England life and character. Mr. Stoddard, who survives his wife, also is advanced in age and infirm. Peter Dujke, a Danish gardener, was working around the house of Mrs. William E. Murray at 65 West Ninetieth street when he brought up with a spadeful of earth a diamond ear-ring. He took it with him to his home and afterward sold it to Jacob Meyer, a jeweler. for 75 cents. Meyer was aware of the value of the stone, which he placed at between $600 and $700, and, thinking that all was not right, took the gardener's name and address and then informed the police at the Morrisania station. Detectives went to his house. He told his story, and an investigation was begun. Mrs. Murray was out of town and the house closed, but a daughter, Mrs. Howard, was found. Mrs. Howard identified the earring and said Mrs. Murray lost it ten years ago. It was one of a pair which Mr. Murray had bought for $1200 and had given to his wife. She lost one gem shortly after in the garden. That famous Bowling Green landmark, the old Stevens house, probably will be demolished in the near future to make way for a $9,000,000 office building, planned to be the largest in the world. Plans have been prepared and final negotiations are now being completed by William H. Mairs, who owns the Stevens house property. He will erect a twenty-story structure on a plot which contains over an acre of land. It faces the great Standard Oil Building. The Mairs site is valued at $200 a square foot for the Broadway half, or $3,500,000. The Greenwich street half of the block will make the entire site for the new structure worth $4,500,000. The constructional outlay will be $4,500,000. The top floor of the new structure will be leased to a fashionable caterer. He will introduce an innovation for downtown office buildings in the form of private apartments. The rooms will occupy the entire nineteenth floor, and possibly the eighteenth. The old Broadway Tabernacle in Herald square will soon be a ruin and a memory. It is being torn down to make room for a new hotel. Few churches have been better or more widely known to churchgoers than the Broadway Tabernacle. Many a thrilling episode has taken place within the old church, once a rallying place in New York for anti-slavery leaders. Decade after decade it has stood, an impressive landmark at the corner that perhaps will soon come nearer than any other point to being the center of New York's business and social life. In the period from 1845 to 1860, under the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Joseph P. Thompson, anti-slavery meetings in the tabernacle were frequently broken up by angry mobs that threatened violence and bloodshed, and at one time Dr. Thompson's life was even threatened. So great, in fact, did the feeling against the church become at one time that the present structure was set on fire at night and the roof and interior woodwork burned. The city's firemen refused to put out the flames, and members of the congregation formed a volunteer fire brigade and at last conquered the fire. Garrison, Phillips, Fred Douglass, Emerson, E. P. Whipple, Henry Ward Beecher and Louis Kossuth, all champions of emancipation, have spoken words inside the old tabernacle that thrilled their hearers and exercised a mighty influence upon the destinies of the nation and the negro race. One Row of Corn 25 Miles Long. Kansas is simply inexhaustible in the matter of oddities. Just when it might be supposed that she had run the whole gamut, she appears with another novelty such as nobody else in all the wide world would ever have thought of. For example, a Kingman county farmer is growing a row of corn a little more than twenty-five miles long for no other reason than to be singular and extraordinary. He commenced in a fifty-acre field and went round and round in a circle with a lister until he had planted the whole in a single row which commences at one of the edges and terminates in the middle. When he cultivated it, of course he had to plow in the same way. As appearances go the field will make as much crop as it would if planted in the ordinary way.—Kansas City Journal. RELEASING THE YUKON. How the Ice Barrier is Blown Up by Dynamite. The upheaval of the ice that binds the Yukon is always fascinating and exciting, but no greater and more spectacular scene in connection with the breaking has been chronicled than that at Five Fingers rapids this summer. The high rocky pillars that stand as barriers at the rapids choked with ice, and for days sustained a weight of hundreds of thousands of tons of ice and blockaded water, which, when it broke, tore through the gorge with terrific force and a speed of thirty miles an hour in wildest tumult. All the rock barriers that form the channel and the "Fingers" were sustaining an untold weight of ice and water, gathered there as the result of the flow of days from the upper Yukon. The water spread far up the stream, and threatened to overflow the banks, and there is no telling what might have been the result had not the government blasted the keystone of ice from the lower portion and opened the gorge. Capt. Jack Williams of the White Pass Company fired the charge which opened the jam. He was standing in front of the "Fingers" and yet on a piece of ice when the telling shot was fired. With unexpected suddenness the great mass of blocked matter forced the situation, and Williams was sent swirling down the stream before the crackling, maddening tumult of escaping waters and chaotic ice floes. Fortunately, he was swept to the base of one of the cliffs, and there found a narrow niche in which to cling. He seized the projecting wall and sprung to the niche, and with his back turned to the bluff and facing the wild procession of the elements he stood in fear and trembling. One solid hour he stood on that rock, and the grinding, crunching and plunging ice went past him in merciless roar. William's fellows had gone to the lower end of the rapids, expecting to see him on some ice floes far down stream, or, perhaps, most likely, not see him at all. Walter Wensky, German consul at Dawson, happened along at that time, and, with a strong field glass, scanned the conyon. Wensky went up stream in the canyon. Wencky went up stream in the niche. The roaring of the rushing ice and water through the rocky gorge made it impossible to hear any one speak in the vicinity of where Williams stood and be heard. It was all men could do to hear one another when they stood together. The tremendous force of miles of ice and water above the "Fingers" was driving the water through the gorge at the hurricane speed of thirty miles an hour. It was one wild, plunging race, of which Consul Wensky says: Never in my life had I seen such a spectacle of grandeur, such a magnificent demonstration of nature's physical forces exerting their awful power. If ever there was a scene awe-inspiring in its effort on man, this was one. "There being no time to lose in an effort to save Williams, we rushed up the river, and after traveling some distance came to where we could shout across to a wood camp. A man named Ebo was there and he heard us. We told him of the predicament and the took a rope and went to the rescue. The line was made fast and dropped fifty feet over the bluff. It fell within the reach of Williams and he seized it. A few seconds later he was dangling from the line and swinging in mid-air as he desperately fought and climbed for life. The struggle did not last long. Muscular and active that he was, Williams soon sealed the cliff and was safe. "The intensity of that grand escaping flood and jam thrills me yet. The ice was four hours passing through the gorge. It was swollen to fifteen feet above the normal level of the river as it made its escape, and went on plunging and grinding with the fury of a monster. Far below the rapids the river traveled at great speed, cutting away in the distance bends of the stream with whitemailed turbulent crest as far as the eye could reach, running until finally worn out and exhausted mile away."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. AUSTRALIA'S TARIFF. Constitutional Crisis Imminent in the Commonwealth. English business men having trade or political relations with Australia must not be surprised if so soon as the coronation festivities are over news of a big constitutional and commercial crisis in the commonwealth reaches them. It may be that the spirit of compromise, one of the least noble but the most useful of British virtues, may reign, and a conflict between the two houses of the federal Parliament in connection with the tariff will be avoided. All sane Australia trusts that such may be the case. At the present moment, however, the conflict looks inevitable. The Senate, ever jealous of its power, has disregarded the advice given it by the commercial community, and instead of using its free trade majority as a means for concentrating on a few of the markedly protectionist items on the tariff is leisurely proceeding to alter practically the entire tariff as it left the popular chamber, the House of Representatives. Under the constitution each state has six members in the Senate, thereby giving little Tasmania, with about 200,000 people, the same weight as New South Wales, with a million and a half people. This concession was necessary if the constitution was ever to become acceptable to the small states of the union. Its influence upon the fiscal policy of the commonwealth, however, is likely, from a theoretical free trade point of view, to be most beneficial, for through it alone will free trade in the ultimate conflict be able to break down the least satisfactory labors of the protectionist majority of the House of Representatives. Had the Senate been elected on a population basis parties would have been equally divided. Today free traders can count on a majority of three or four.—Melbourne Correspondence of the London Chronicle. The Redbug Poem. "For the last several years the Herald has published," says the Union Springs (Ala.) Herld, "either in the spring or summer, its little 'Redbug Poem,' which is appropriate to the season. As there were so many outings last Friday, most of them being woodland picnics and fish fries, it is an opportune time for our 'annual poem.' so here it is: If the chigger were bigger— The Australian Dukite One who has been all over the world said to me yesterday: "Your Martinique friend, fer-de-lance, is not to be compared with the dukite snake of Australia. It is like the pictures you have seen of sin, a long, red snake, with eyes the living embodiment of evil. The dukites never go alone. If you are unfortunate enough to kill one without killing its mate the latter will follow your trail remorselessly, like death, or fate, and, though you camp twenty miles from the spot, it will kill you as sure as you killed its partner."—New York Press MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. Pat Scores a Point on the Subject of Recommendations. This story was told by the prototype of Capt. Joe, the hero of F. Hopkinson Smith's novel, "Caleb West": An Irishman once applied to him for a job on board his ship. "Well," said the captain, "where are your recommendations?" "Shure, an' I haven't enny, Sur." "Can't take you, then—got a German here with fine recommendations—have to give the job to him." Pat begged so hard, however, that the captain finally agreed to take him and the German both on a trial trip, the best man to have the permanent job. They were well out at sea when a storm arose one day while Pat and the German were scrubbing the deck. A big wave came along and swept the German overboard with his bucket. Pat immediately picked up his bucket and started after the captain, whom he found below. "Well, Pat, what's the matter now?" the captain inquired. "Faith, Sur, ye know that German what had such foeine ricommindations?" "Yes: what'of him?" "Begorra, Sur, an' he's gone off with one o' your buckets."—New York Times. A MISPLACED TIP. Proposed Beneficiary was the Uncle of the Queen. Robert Barr writes in the Saturday Evening Post of Philadelphia of his early experiences in England, and tells this story regarding the tipping system: "When I say I never gave a tip, I ought perhaps to add that once upon a time I offered one, which, to my surprise, was not accepted. I engaged to write for an American paper some articles on the London parks, and I asked a friend how I could get accurate information regarding them. 'Nothing simpler,' said the Englishman. 'Drop a line to the ranger of Hyde Park and he will set you right.' "I wrote a courteous note to the ranger, and told him I did not mind parting with a dollar or two if he could put me in the way of writing an interesting article. My communication was ignored, so fearing I had not offered enough I again consulted my English friend, and told him the amount proffered. "That was very generous of you,' he said sarcastically, 'and I am amazed your munificence has not met a readier response, for the ranger of Hyde Park is His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, uncle to the Queen, and I am sure his expenses must be large.'" Physicians Puzzled. St. Aubert, Mo., Aug. 4.-Mr. E. R. Langendoefer of this place suffered very severely with a peculiar case of Kidney Trouble which completely baffled the skill of the local physicians and instead of getting any better he was gradually growing worse. He says: "A friend advised me to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and after I had used two boxes I was entirely cured and have not since had the slightest symptom of the return of my trouble. "I had tried all the surrounding physicians, but they did me no good and instead of getting better I grew worse till I used Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I can sincerely say to everyone suffering with Kidney Trouble that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure them, for they cured me satisfactorily and completely when all the doctors had failed."

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I have never in my life given a testimonial before, but you have done so much for me that I feel called upon to give you this unsolicited acknowledgement of [Illustration of a woman with a floral border around her head.] MRS. JENNIE E. O'DONNELL President of Oakland Woman's Riding Club. the wonderful curative value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For eight years I had female trouble, falling of the womb and other complications. During that time I was more or less of an invalid and not much good for anything, until one day I found a book in my hall telling of the cures you could perform. I became interested; I bought a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and was helped; I continued its use and in seven months was cured, and since that time I have had perfect health. Thanks, dear Mrs. Pinkham again, for the health I now enjoy." Mrs. JENNIE O'DONNELL, 278 East 31st St., Chicago, Ill. — $5000 forfeit if above testimonial is not genuine.

Bie ae aos aaa The consensus of opinion of those who have studied the silo problem in- dicates that the circular form is pref- erable. There are, however, many square and rectangular silos in success- ful operation. Especially is this the case with those having rounded corners. Where great strength and large capac- ity are demanded the frame circular silo will best meet the requirements. This form of silo can be made quite durable by plastering the inside with cement. The circular stave silo, owing to its simplicity and economical con- struction, seems to fully meet the re- quirements of the farmer. With the form of silo properly erected the waste of silage is reduced to the minimum. Hoops for the silo can be made of any suitable material, such as half inch, seven-sixteenths inch or five- eighths inch round iron, one-eighth inch flat fron two inches wide or wire. The woven wire fence hoop is often used since it is regarded as being very economical. Doors may be simply sawed out, or made continuous from the bottom to the top of the silo. The juga =, rs ey i = ET Ts ee ies Th i TM Ue oy | i yi ea ik ee me are gee = Ss ee CIRCULAR SILO. sawed out doors may be ranged one above the other, with a stationary ladder placed alongside running to the top of the silo, as shown in the cut. When the silo is built on the outside of the barn, a roof is needed. This may be simply a shed roof constructed with plank, or a neat, inexpensive shin- gle roof, as shown in the cut. A Suitable Dust Bath. All chickens seem to thoroughly en- joy a dust bath, and its use undoubted- ly is a benefit to their plumage, besides ridding them of lice. If the plumage is to be kept clean and bright, especial- ly on birds intended for exhibition pur- poses or of white varieties, it is essen- tial that the dusting place be kept ab- solutely dry, as otherwise it will soil the plumage and the fine bird on which you may pride yourself will look very dingy. 5 The roofed box in the sketch will give an idea of how birds may be pro- vided with a dry dust bath in nearly all kinds of weather. Cloths may be tacked across the top ends, with hooks at bottom for stormy weather, if the box is In a field. Some poultry raisers allow their fowls the liberty of the sheds where the farm machinery is housed and here they get a fine dusting in all sorts of weather, but if the birds roost on them it does not improve their looks nor the working of the farm im- plements. Better keep them out, and assign them quarters more fitting. The WS shill gas 3 2 et 4) eae ee Ray ee ee ee AN ALL-WEATHER DUST BOX, cost of cleaning machinery of hen manure on some farms would build palatial abodes for the hens and make them a profitable part of the farm.— Jonn’G. Knott, in Farm and Home. To Make. Hens Lay. When hens do not lay in summer, the fault may be due to overfeeding, owing to the abundance of insects, grass and seeds on the range or pasture. It is bet- ter te send such hens to market if they are over two years old, and depend upon the early hatched pullets as win- ter layers. All pullets that are to be retained should be kept in good grow- ing condition, not fat, by allowing a va- riety of food, meat being much better than corn or wheat for all kinds of young poultry. Feeding Grain to Steers. Feeding grain to steers on grass is justified when pastures are short and where these cannot be supplemented with some kind of fodder. Where steers are partly warmed up with grain before being turned to grass it may prove an excellent practice to con- tinue feeding them about one peck per day. By following this practice the animals may be kept going from the first day. Such animals may be mar- keted earlier than those that are grass fed alone and invariably will command a little higher price. It is generally ad. visable to grind corn for grass fe¢ steers. Animals on grass alone fre. quently lose weight during the first weeks after being turned out, so that the time required to make this up is entirely lost. When grain is feed it is a good plan to feed a little roughage such as timothy or clover hay, during the first week after turning to grass in order to prevent scouring.—Iowa Homestead. | A One-Man Saw.

The post, as shown in the cut, should be about eight feet high to admit of having a pendent sufficiently long to give the required length of stroke. The weight on the outer pendent should be just sufficient to prevent the saw from riding. The spring from main post to the saw should be strong enough to help the sawyer on the return stroke. A stout cord running over a pulley with a weight attached may take the place of the spring. A stiff wire with a hook in the lower end answers very well in place of the wooden pendent shown in the cut. When it is adjusted just right the walking beam will see-saw easily, as it follows the motion of the saw.— John Jackson, in Agricultural Epito- mist. Bie be Wit RinotnatRen es The use of the fruit-spraying pumps makes easy the task of whitewashing stables, henhouses and cellars, and it is much more effectual than the use of the brush, because by making the stream a little larger and more forci- ble, which most spraying nozzles ad- mit of, a stream can be sent into cracks and crevices where the brush would not reach. It may not prove as pene- trating or as powerful a disinfectant as the gas from burning sulphur and charcoal, but it takes next rank, and can be used where it might not be well to use the sulphurie acid gas, as in cellars under living rooms. If it is to be used as a disinfectant, or as an in- sect destroyer, the addition of a little carbolic acid or a little dissolved cop- peras to the whitewash may be an ad- vantage, and we prefer the latter, at least in cow stables, because it emits no offensive odor. Let the lime be thoroughly slaked, and strained through a cloth, so that it may be thin enough to work weil in the nozzle. And sides, ceilings, corners and floors can be well sprayed in one-fourth the time needed for the use of the brush. Applied dur- ing the hot weather, it does not take long to dry, and two coats can easily be given if one does not look thick enough when dried—New England Home- stead. Handy Hay Derrick. W. A. Clearweather, of Indiana, sends Iowa Homestead a sketch of a derrick which he has found very handy for building stacks out in the field. The runners are 4 b made out of 2x12 \e Ys, stuff fourteen fect mm, long, the center Dp eross piece 3x8, ZAIN and the outside eZ. cross pieces 2x8, N= |e all let in as shown Wass. in the illustration. — Ne 5 4 D» The four braces are made of 4x4 stuff. The post may be either round or be ten feet high. The pole “a” should square and should be about thirty feet long, so as to make a good-sized stack. It should be made of pretty good tim- ber. Whiteoakis good and seasoned red elm is also very good for this purpose. Have the blacksmith make a fork like that seen at “b” to fasten on the top of the post upon which the pole re- volves. An old buggy spindle is a very good thing for putting on this piece. The illustration shows the lo- eation of pulleys and the method of adjusting the pole for stacking. In stacking set the derrick to the wind. ward of the stack. tis il Ensilage is not only the cheapest of all cattle foods, but a supply in winter prevents a complete change from green to dry food. A change means less milk, unless some succulent food, such as ensilage of roots, Is allowed in addi- tion to hay and grain. Some cows fall off in milk when put on dry food and do not regain in yield until the next spring. Regulating the milk supply by regulating the food and its quality re- quires a study of both summer and winter conditions. Feed Green Corn, One of our best dairymen fn an ad- dress before a farmers’ institute said that during the summer, his pastures getting short and havipg no soiling erop, he commenced cutting off and feeding his milk cows his corn. He kept a close account and found it paid. This shows the importance of feeding well at all times if the fiow of milk is to be maintained and that it can be done profitably and a good product ob- tained.

B. MONTGOMERY Wisconsin Weekly Advocate, 79 Fifth Street, Milwaukee Announced, After Prayer. What seems to be a new story of the beloved McCosh of Princeton has it that, as he was about to begin the morning prayer in the chapel, following the an- nouzcements and notices for the day, a student came with a request from the professor of French that the latter's class assemble at 9 o'clock, instead of 9:30 o'clock, the usual hour. The good old doctor protested that the notice came too late; but the student said the matter was so important to the professor that it ought to be read. “Very well,” said the doctor—“Til an- nounce it after prayer.” He then began to pray. He prayed for everybody of note, running down through the ‘list from President of the United States to the members of the New Jer- ‘sey’s House of Representatives, and finally switched into the local officials, ending with the instructors in the college. says the Philadelphia Times. Then the belated notice came to his mind; and here was the final invocation: “God bless the faenity of Princeton. and especially Prof. | Karge, whos¢ French class will be held this’ morning at 9 o'clock, instead of 9:30 o'clock, as usual!” —Bug originally means goblin.
