WISCONSIN WEEKLY Advocate DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE VOLUME V. THE RACE WAR IN INDIANA. Mob Law Must Be Put Down. New York Post: "Race War in Indiana" is now a familiar headline. But the news from Evansville, in that state, represents a condition of affairs which is nothing less than anarchy. All last night the city was terrorized by mobs of whites armed with the loot of gun shops, seeking the lives of every Negro and bent on blowing up all the dwellings in the colored quarter. The reason for this fresh outbreak of savagery in an American city is simply rage at failure to lynch a Negro who three days ago killed a policeman, but who was spirited away in time to save him from lawless hanging or even burning. No white woman figures in this case as in the Wilmington shame. The excuse of the "one crime" therefore fails again, as it has failed innumerable times, to account for white savagery. But matters have seemingly come to such a pass that lynch law must prevail whatever a Negro's crime, and no matter how many additional lives must be sacrificed in such an orgy of passion and of vengeance. There are some more sinister features in the Evansville outbreak than in any thus far reported to bring discredit to our national honor—arming of the blacks as well as whites, the riddling with bullets of Negro's homes, and the sharp lining up of one race against another. What is to come of it, if some authority can not soon be found to vindicate the law, to punish mobs, and to make clear the terrible guilt of every participant in the shame of such outrages in whatever town or state? GREAT NEWSPAPER SENSATION SPOILED. Prominent Hatter Lays Trap for Negro Thieves—Catches Two of His Own Race Instead—Now Attempts to Hush Matter Up. A prominent business man of this city who is white and boards at the Plankinton house had several bottles of a choice brand of whisky in his room, which, notwithstanding he only sampled the goods occasionally and then in a very conservative manner, nevertheless rapidly grew less and less. Alarmed at the steady and mysterious disappearance of his favorite mountain dew, this gentleman, probably excited by reading newspapers which make a specialty of hunting up all crimes committed by Negroes and publisching them, rushed down to the manager and accused the Negro bellboys of the hotel with stealing his whisky. The manager, Mr. Safford, who, by the way, is every inch a gentleman, tried to reason with him, telling him perhaps the thieves were not Negroes after all; that there were a large number of them employed at the Plankinton house, and that he had never known any of them to steal. This only seemed to excite the gentleman still more. He was positive the Negroes had stolen it, and ended by demanding that they all be discharged. A suggestion was made and the business man set a trap for the bellboys. A nice bottle was fixed up containing a little dope and left in the accustomed place. Next day two white chambermaids who had charge of the room failed to report for duty. They were both found unconscious and taken to the Emergency hospital, where one of them did not regain consciousness for two days. The stomach pump relieved them of whisky and dope and the business man, not so anxious for a sensation now, is trying to keep the matter quiet. Had the thieves turned out to be Negroes half the Milwaukee newspapers would have published the news with glaring headlines. Sunday School Convention The eighteenth annual convention of the Chicago-St. Paul district Sunday School union, A. M. E. church, met at Milwaukee, Wis., June 24 and 25, in St. Mark's A. M. E. church, of which Dr. L. M. Fenwick is the pastor. The delegates were met at the boat by Dr. Fenwick and Mrs. Fenwick, the superintendent of the Sunday school, Mr. White, and many of the Sunday school. Through the energy and tact of the pastor the large number of delegates were well cared for. We were honored with the presence of Bishop B. E. Lee on Thursday, who gave an earnest, practical address on the Bible. Other ministers present were Presiding Elders G. C. Booth and H. H. Thompson, Revs. A. J. Carey Jesse Bass, D. A. Butler, Jamison, A. N. Webb, D. W. Dowden. Among the many helpful features of the convention were the intermediate workers' conference, conducted by Mrs. Delia Turner, superintendent of Quinn Chapel primary department; a model primary lesson, taught by Mrs. Fannie Hall-Clint of the Institution Sunday school, and "A Round Table" of helpful questions, conducted by Supt. J. E. Webb of Evanston. Another good movement was the organization of a Sunday School Missionary league, with Mrs. J. E. Webb as president. At the reception on Wednesday evening there was a great crowd of people. Addresses of welcome were given by white members of the Municipal associ tion, and a masterly response made by Dr. Carev of Quinn chapel. The presiding elders, Dr. Booth and Rev. H. H. Thompson, presided with grace and dignity. Mr. Twiggs was re-elected as district superintendent. Miss Maggie Slater of Bethel Sunday school, secretary; Mrs. M. L. Burroughs of St. Stephen's, deputy superintendent. The convention adjourned to meet next year at Streator, ADVERTISING RATES.

R. B. MONTGOMERY, *** There is one feature of the recent Sunday school convention which has been published broadcast which should be corrected. The Broadaxe and other papers have stated that the convention adopted resolutions condemnatory of Booker T. Washington. NOTHING OF THE KIND WAS DONE.

Washington Delivers Strong Address to His Race at Louisville. MOB VIOLENCE LESSONS. Demonstrate That Lynch Law Is Not a Sectional Question-Asks Justice for All. Louisville, Ky., July 2.—Before an audience which crowded Macauley's theater to the doors, Booker T. Washington tonight delivered an address in which he said that recent regrettable events in connection with the race question went to show that lynch law was not confined to any one section of the country. These events, he said, tended to simplify the race problem by making it national. He admitted that the race was now passing a very serious and trying period of development, and appealed to the Negro to be calm and exercise self-control. Principal Washington said in part. "In the present season of anxiety and almost of despair which possesses an element of the race, there are two things which I wish to say as strongly as I may. "First, let no man of the race become discouraged or hopeless. There are men in this country, north and south, who mean to help and see that justice is meted out to the race. Such a man is Judge Jones of Alabama, to whom more credit should be given for blotting out the infamous system of peonage than to any other. "Second, let us keep before us the fact that almost without exception every race or nation that has got upon its feet has done so through struggle and trial and persecution. "No one should seek to close his eyes to the truth that the race is passing through a very serious and trying period of its development, a period that calls for the use of our ripest thought and sober judgment. "Let nothing lead us into extremes of utterance or action. In the long run it is the race or individual that exercises the most patience, forbearance and self-control in the midst of trying conditions that wins its cause. "Let nothing induce us to descend to the level of the mob. In advocating this policy I am not asking that the Negro act the coward; we are not cowards. The part we have played in defending the flag of our country is sufficient evidence of our courage. "The recent outbreaks of the mob emphasize two lessons, one for our race and one for the other citizens of our country, south and north; for it is to be noted that the work of the lyncher is not confined to one section of the country. The lesson for us is that we should see to it that so far as the influence of parent, school or pulpit is concerned, no effort be spared to impress upon our own people that idleness and crime should cease. We should let the world know on all proper occasions that we consider no legal punishment too severe for the wretch of any race who attempts to outrage a woman "The lesson for the other portion of the nation to learn is that both in the making and in the execution the same law should be made to apply to the Negro as to the white man. There should be meted out equal justice to the black man and the white man. Whenever the nation forgets, or is tempted to forget this basic principle, the whole fabric of government for both the white and the black man is threatened with destruction." RACE NOTES. Mob Negro Messenger Boys. Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—[Special.]— Two hundred white messenger boys were thrown out of employment this afternoon by the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies. Their places were filled with Nego men. The officials claim the change was made to get better service. As a result of the change riots have followed around the headquarters of the telegraph companies' offices tonight. Every time a colored messenger left the office he was attacked by the white boys. This apparently indicates that the colored boys of Atlanta, like those of Chicago are giving such service as commends them to their employers, prejudice to the contrary notwithstanding. Success to the young colored American.—Chicago Monitor. The Afro-American council at Louisville, Ky., elected the following officers: President—T. Thomas Fortune of New York. Secretary—Cyrus Field Adams, Chicago. Financial Secretary—F. L. McGhee of Minnesota. Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, Illinois. Treasurer—John W. Thompson of New York. Ask Protection from Lynchers. Springfied, O., July 2.—At a meeting of the National Anti-Mob and Lynch Law association, held tonight, it was unanimously decided to petition Congress and the President for some legislation for "the protection of the Negroes of the country from the lynchers and slave drivers. If the rulers of the United States failed to remedy the evils which exist then we appeal to the Christian nations of Europe." The meeting was attended by President H. C. Jenkins, Vice President J. L. Harris, Secretary U. E. Huffman and National Organizer C. P. Hines. In Indianapolis recently a colored man was seen talking to a white lady on the street. He was brutally beaten by a mob of whites. Excitement among Negroes is still intense over the shooting and burning of a Negro school teacher at Belleville, Ill., for the killing of a white principal in a fair fight. Another white mob became angered at seeing a Negro in uniform attack a colored street car conductor at Howell, Ind., and almost beat him to death. W. D. Crum made an ass of himself in Chicago in a too plain attempt to toady to the southern whites at the expense of his race. WANTS COLOR LINE DRAWN AT MILWAUKEE HORSE SHOW. Ex-Rebel Sympathizer Attempts to Introduce Southern Methods in Milwaukee—Is Promptly Turned Down. The folly of engaging a southern back number to manage a northern enterprise which is miles too big for him is made apparent by an article in The Sentinel Wednesday morning wherein some fellow who signs himself Dr. C. De Garmo Gray of St. Louis, Mo., and who is spoken of as a "promoter of horse shows," has had the nerve and gall to attempt to introduce the Nigger hating southern policy of barring Negroes from public places into Wisconsin and has advised the committee to bar Negroes in the coming Milwaukee horse show. He was promptly turned down in a very polite manner by the directors, who informed him that the matter must wait until the next meeting of the board, but the gentleman was probably too thick skinned to take a tumble. We would say to this gentleman from Dixie that we have a law in this state which will certainly be invoked should this thing be attempted here. Jacob Litt tried the same thing some years ago at the Bijon theater and it is safe to say he will not try it again. Remember the Williams bill. THE COLLEGE GIRL'S DIET Raw Eggs Added to Menu of Fragile Nervous Woman. Raw eggs have now been added to the menu of the fragile, nervous woman whose love of "doing things" is out of proportion to her strength or endurance. Brown bread, oranges, milk and olive oil, singly and combined, have been recommended for nervous women, and now comes a college girl who sings the praises of raw eggs—not raw eggs, in sherry or raw eggs beaten up in milk, but raw eggs "straight" without any frills or accessories. This college girl went through a course of studies with basket ball, tennis, golf and gymnastic side issues, when the family physician had warned her family that she was not strong enough to stand a year of such rigorous living. The girl confessed to keeping eggs in her room all the time, breaking and swallowing one at odd times throughout the day, growing fond of them and consuming sometimes five and six without thinking—singly, of course. They had the effect of a tonic. Another girl in her last year at school is kept up to working condition by a tridaily dose of raw egg. At breakfast she swallows one, directly she returns from school another, and at dinner one is broken into her soup. The iron in the egg bolsters her up finely, and she no more complains of a weak back or enervation. The treatment is recommended to other growing girls.—Philadelphia Enquirer. Was Fully Prepared. Down in Cochran, Ga., the affairs of civil justice are administered by Judge Edwards, who is also an enthusiastic farmer. One cloudy spring afternoon court was convened to try a peculiarly tortuous and perplexing case. Judge Edwards listened with growing unrest. He was observed at last to seize a slip of paper, scribble a few words, place the document beneath a heavy paper weight, and reach for his hat. "Captain," he called cheerfully, "excuse me fur interuptin' you, suh; you go right on with your argument, which is a darned good one. It's suah goin' to rain this evenin', gentleman, an' I got to set out my potatoes right away. But you go right on, captain! When you an' the major get through you all'll find my decision under this heath paper weight." And the door closed upon an astonished orator. The oldest collection of moral maxims known is that of the Presse papyrus, dating 2600 years B. C., recently found in a tomb at Thebes. They have been translated by Phillippe Vivey, the famous French Egyptologist, and rival in excellence the proverbs of the Hebrews. POPE LEO XIII. The Venerable Pontiff Is Lying at P. The Venerable Pontiff Is Lying at the Point of Death at the Vatican. SOME RULES OF ETIQUETTE. Due Consideration Must Be Given to the Feelings of Others. With the annual descent of the city legions upon the dwellers of Oz or Messopotamia, certain rules of etiquette suitable to both guest and hostess should be engraved between the frontlets of each individual's eyes—or at least upon the tablets of their hearts. Without due consideration for each others interest, preferences and customs, relations are apt to become strained and the "rift within the lute" silences all the music that might have made the summer a joy to remember ever after. As for the guest, let her remember that she is to fit into the family life already established, not upset it. Let her not overflow her boundaries. If she has a room to herself let her keep her things there, not drop her hat and coat in the parlor, her gloves on the piano, her sewing or box of bon bons, her nut shells or scraps of paper wherever the spirit takes her. Possibly the parlor may not be so elegant in its appointments as her own, yet its owner may take quite as much pride in keeping it orderly and sweet. Let the guest remember the meal hours and be there on time. If the family breakfasts early strain a point and join them, even though you take a nap afterwards. Unless you can help or are especially invited, keep out of the kitchen. There are plenty of nice little things a guest may do to help without getting underfoot. One dear woman who was always a joy to have as a guest used to say: "Now, let me be responsible for some certain thing." Sometimes this was dusting and keeping the parlor in order and attending to the vases. Another season it was preparing all the berries for tea or luncheon and making the salads, while a third year she selected to do the butter balls and shell the peas. Of course where there is help in abundance these things are not necessary, but in the majority of homes, help is scarce. Of course in this case the ideal guest cares for her own room, and if she has children keeps them within bounds. Philadelphia Inquirer. "13" and the White House. To those who are influenced by the old superstition of sitting down to table thirteen in number, an invitation from the President to dine at the white house off the new state service of china, manufactured by the famous firm of Wedgwood, may well be looked at askance. Whether intentionally or by accident, the mystic number is curiously repeated in the crest, and even in the transaction by which the service was ordered. Anyone who visits the St. Louis exposition may observe the former, as the service is to be placed there on view. To begin with, there are, of course thirteen stars and thirteen bars in the shield, representing the original thirteen states of the Union. In one claw the eagle grasps thirteen bolts, and in the other an olive branch upon which there are thirteen leaves and thirteen berries. The pinions of the eagle, too, have thirteen feathers, and it will be found that there are thirteen letters in --- the Point of Death at the Vatican. the motto, "E Pluribus Unum." Further, there are thirteen letters in the christian names of the President and his wife--Theodore and Annie—and thirteen letters also in Staffordshire, the county in England in which the Wedgewood ware is manufactured; but perhaps the most significant fact of all in this respect is that the service was delivered on Friday, the 13th day of February of this year. Under these circumstances it would seem to require only a party of thirteen to make anyone sensitive in such matters search his mind diligently for an excuse to absent himself from the table.—Collier's Weekly. Slapped Kaiser on the Back. An amusing story is told in the English papers about Kaiser Wilhelm's fondness for surprising his army and his navy. When the squadron was at Kiel, some time ago, the officers attended a court function in Berlin. A young naval commander, while mingling with the crowd of gayly uniformed courtiers, thought he espied another naval friend in front of him. His friend's back was turned toward him, so he pushed up to him, and, placing his hand on his shoulder, he said: "How are you, old fellow? Come, let us go and surprise the aquarium tonight." His supposed friend turned around, and, to his horror, the naval commander found that he had clapped Admiral Wilhelm on the back. The commander stood agast, but the Kaiser saw the joke. "Excellent idea!" he said. "Keep quiet, and we will start at once." And the biggest kind of torpedo raid was the result, and, to the Kaiser's great glee, he was able to torpedo every battleship and cruiser in port that night. Toasts Sung at Paris Dinners. I was present recently at a supper party at which the toasts were given in a singularly original manner, which, I hear, is likely to become very popular in Paris. The occasion was the celebration of a great honor that had been conferred on a well known literary man. There were thirty-four guests, and each was presented on entering with a menu, painted on silk, at the foot of which was the following: "The toasts will be sung by the host and hostess." The supper was on a lavish scale and no sooner had the sweets been served than the hostess rose and in a light but very sweet soprano voice sang, with glass in hand, a charming melody composed for the occasion, thanking her guests for their presence, to which one of them responded, also by song, saying that he wished to convey the congratulations of all those present at the decoration that had been awarded to the host. The music was really charming and the whole affair so delightful that I cannot refrain from mentioning it.—Cor. Pall Mall Gazette. —Hall Caine locates the scene of the bravest deed with which he is acquainted at the Vatican. "The hero of the incident in question," he writes, "was that venerable nonagenarian, Pope Leo XIII., who, on the occasion of our first interview, actually confessed that he had never read one of my books." NUMBER 39. OPERATE ON POPE LEO. Physicians Find That Second Operation Is Necessary. MAY LINGER A WEEK. His Holiness Felt a Little Better This Morning—Sudden Change Shocked Friends. Rome, July 10.—9 p. m.—The following bulletin has just been issued: "During the day his holiness had hours of rest without suffering. His pulse maintains its frequency and force. This morning, after the operation, his pulsation was 92, his respiration 28, and his temperature 36 centigrade. The kidneys continue functionally deficient. His general state is stationary. (Signed) "LAPPONI. "MAZZONI." Rome, July 10.—The following bulletin regarding the condition of the Pope was posted at 10:30 o'clock this morning: "The august patient passed the first part of the night fairly peacefully but afterwards the difficulty in his breathing became more marked coupled with discomfort and increase of the feeling of oppression. The pulse is small and weak at the rate of 92. Apyrexia was complete and there was little diuxesis. A PAPAL flow of endopleuritic matter being observed, a second operation was decided upon and immediately performed by Dr. Mazzoni. About 1000 grammes of bloody serum was extracted. The pontiff bore the second operation very well and in consequence of it both the respiration and the power of the heart at once improved. Rome, July 10.—6 p. m.—There is some possibility of another operation tonight, though this is scarcely probable. Several cardinals, including Satolli, called at the Vatican this afternoon. No change has been reported at this hour in the Pope's condition. Rome, July 10.—Tnankful to God that his life was still spared Pope Leo XIII, awoke from a refreshing slumber shortly before 6 o'clock this morning. The pontiff rose in a few moments and dressed himself and walked to his own chair without assistance. Fresh Air Does Patient Good. The Pope said he thought the air of his room was somewhat vitiated and wanted it changed. His attendant, Pio Centra, after having been authorized to do so by Dr. Lapponi, opened the windows of the whole apartment, including that of the sick room, the pontiff having previously been carefully covered with extra blankets. After remaining open for a short time the windows were closed, with the exception of the window of the sick room, Dr. Lapponi having decided that the balmy, fresh air could only do the patient good. Thought It. Sign of Death The opening and the shutting of the windows was watched from the piazza by the people who had gathered there to hear the latest news and some of them interpreted it as meaning that the pontiff was dead, which necessitated a prompt official denial. FIFTEEN DIE OF HEAT IN NEW YORK CITY. Night Gave No Relief and Many Perish with the Extreme Heat—Temperature Continues to Rise. New York, July 10.—The heat here today was more intense than yesterday. The temperature did not fall below 81 degrees all night and began climbing up again as soon as the sun rose in a cloudless sky. Up to 10 o'clock five deaths from the heat were reported from Brooklyn and two deaths and five prostrations in this city. Eight died from the heat yesterday. As the day advanced the weather became steadily more oppressive. The thermometer at the weather bureau registered 94 degrees at 1 o'clock. At the street level it was several degrees hotter. Another death in Manhattan was reported and the number of prostrations had reached ten. Philadelphia, Pa., July 10.—The temperature here rose from 81 degrees at 8 o'clock this morning to $94\frac{1}{2}$ degrees at 2:30 o'clock. The humidity registered 56 degrees. There were many prostrations and one man, Alexander Gross, was rendered insane. Boston, Mass., July 10.—Yesterday was the hottest day of the year thus far. The thermometer registered 90 degrees at noon. There were a number of prostrations. Pittsburg, Pa., July 10.—Two deaths and two prostrations from the heat were reported up to 1 o'clock. The mercury at that hour was 87 degrees. AMES LOSES APPEAL Former Police Superintendent Is Taken to Prison to Serve Six Years. Years. St. Paul, Minn., July 10.—The supreme court this morning sustained the verdict of the lower court declaring former Superintendent of Police Col. Fred W. Ames of Minneapolis guilty of receiving money for "protection." Col. Ames was taken to the Stillwater prison today to begin his sentence of six years imposed by the lower court. After the 10:30 a. m. bulletin had been issued the crowds about the entrance of the Vatican disappeared. The authorities of the Vatican have made arrangements which show that they expect a quiet day and the general feeling is that while the case is hopeless, the Pope may live several days or even a week longer. The pope prayed for half an hour and then had breakfast-partaking of the yolk of an egg beaten up with sugar, in hot coffee and a light biscuit. The pontiff then attended to his toilet, but he did not shave. Pope Shows Great Energy. He then received his private secretary, Mgr. Angeli, who was again surprised at the Pope's brightness of mind and display of energy. On leaving the sick room, Mgr. Angeli remarked to those who surrounded him and asked for news that, if it was not known that the Pope was dangerously ill, from his appearance at that time one would say he was in his normal condition. The monsignor added that the pontiff referred to several different matters, recalling exactly the most minute details and remembering facts, figures and dates with marvellous promptness, and all this to the accompaniment of snuff taking. The same impressions were formed by Count Camillo Pecci, who visited the Pope after Mgr. Angeli. The Second Operation. The doctor's visit and the operation followed. The doctors who entered the Pope's sick room at 8:30 o'clock this morning were still there at 10:15. The doctors found the condition of the Pope not much changed. His temperature was a little above 36 degrees centigrade and his pulse was oscillating between 85 and 80. The pontiff questioned the doctors about his condition, saying: "Do not deceive me, doctors, nothing more can affect me." Doctors Avoid Answering. He asked if the regathering of the serum in the pleural cavity means that the disease is growing seriously worse and the doctors fenced, saying that it was one of the phases which generally reoccur several times during an attack. "Then," said the patient, "a new operation is necessary." "We will see," answered Lapponi, and Mazzoni added: "Your holiness knows that the operation is not dangerous in itself." Was Almost Painless. Dr. Mazzoni's operation this morning was almost identical with that of Tuesday afternoon. The patient lay on his couch with his side exposed. The skin above the affected parts was washed with a solution of alcohol, cocaine was hypodermically injected, and Dr. Mazzoni inserted a Pravaz needle, which by suction drew off the vitiated matter. The operation was comparatively painless and was performed without recourse to chloroform or other anaesthetics. Pope Feels Relieved. After the operation the Pope felt so relieved that he insisted on getting up and took several steps towards his armchair and seated himself for a few minutes. He then rose and going to the bookshelves where he keeps his favorite authors took down "Horace's Ars Poetica," returned to the armchair and began reading, holding one leg over the other. He seemed to feel no ill-effects from the operation. On the contrary he appeared to have derived benefit from it. Detect Pulmonary Sound. During the morning's examination of the patient the doctors, after a thorough sounding, found that a pulmonary sound had reappeared in the obtuse zone, except in the area limited to the region where the puncture was made for the extraction of the liquid, which is on a line drawn from the nipple of the right breast, under the arm to the spinal column, the obtuse sound thus being between the sixth and eighth ribs. With his head against the ribs Dr. Lapponi heard a murmur in the vesicular region. The murmur was confused with pluric rumblings, together with gurglings as if of small to middle sized bubbles. Later in the day the Pope had lunch and then took a long rest. At 3:15 p. m. he was still enjoying a restful repose and showing no ill-effects from the operation. The neighborhood of the Vatican was tranquil. All Ouiet at Vatican At 4:20 all was still quiet at the vatican. No change of any sort was reported. Cardinal Rampolla did not venture into the sick chamber, but anxiously inquired frequently as to the condition of the patient. Dr. Mazzoni had an examination made by a miscroscopist of the serum taken from the Pope's pleura on last Tuesday, to ascertain whether it contained any specific microbe. Some doubt had arisen as to whether the original attack of pneumonia had been provoked by some specific agency such as, for instance, tuberculosis or cancer. The examination showed no such microbe and the conclusion was inevitable that the pneumonia was due as originally stated, to a dynamic circulation proceeding from lack of heart strength. DYNAMITERS ATTACK THE HOME OF JUDGE. Attempt Made to Destroy the Dwelling of R. T. Miller at Iron Mountain, Mich. Iron Mountain, Mich., July 10.—[Special.]—An attempt was made at 11:30 last night to blow up the home of Judge R. T. Miller by the use of explosives. Mr. Miller, his wife and four babies were asleep upstairs at the time of the explosion, but were uninjured. The house was damaged to some extent. A reward of $1000 is offered for the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. The cause for the act is unknown and no clue as yet has been found. BETTING ON ELECTION RESULT People in Italian Provinces Interested in Selection of New Pope. Rome, July 10.—In the provinces so firmly rooted has become the conviction that the Pope will not recover that the discussion concerning his successor is almost superseding in general interest the details of the pontiff's illness. Betting goes on with great animation, each cardinal having his fervent admirers. Those most frequently mentioned as likely to be the next occupant of the papal throne are Cardinal Oreglia, Gotti and Rampolla, but Cardinals Agliardi, Serafino, Vannutella and Ferrari press them hard in public favor. PASTOR'S HEALTH FAILS. Rev. O. M. Owen, Formerly at Baraboo, Resigns His Charge. Elgin, Ill., July 10.—[Special.]—Elder O. M. Owen, pastor of the Advent Christian church, has tendered his resignation and expects to cease his labors here September 27. His health demands that he engage in some other work. A few years ago he was pastor of the church at Baraboo, Wis. —It is estimated that the population of British Somaliland is about 250,000. Its area is about 68,000 square miles. M. LOUBET GOES HOME. King Edward Goes to Railway Station to Bid Good-bye to the President of France. London, July 9.—The visit of President Loubet to London was brought to a close at 8:40 o'clock this morning, when the French chief magistrate left the Victoria station for Dover. The scenes and incidents of his departure testified to how the republican President by his unassuming dignity and cordial sincerity had captured all classes and won that popular good will which sovereigns have been unable to achieve. Crowds lined the route from St. James palace to the railway station and British "hurrahs" and French "Vive Loubet" re-echoed through the streets. Here the nation's guest was met by the King, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught, Lord Lansdowne, Premier Balfour, other ministers, members of the French embassy and a crowd of military and other officials. As M. Loubet's carriage drew up, King Edward advanced with outstretched hand and, taking the President familiarly by the arm, led him through the waiting room to the royal car. For a few minutes, the King and the President stood talking with much animation. King Edward grasped M. Loubet's right hand and shook it with extreme cordiality, while with the left hand he patted the President on the shoulders. His majesty showed the President into the royal car and stood chatting with him until the train pulled out. Upon his arrival at Dover, M. Loubet embarked on the French cruiser Guichen and the vessel sailed at once for Calais, escorted by a British torpedo flotilla and followed by farewell salutes from the fleet and castle. Before his departure from Dover, President Loubet telegraphed to King Edward thanking him for the hearty reception accorded him "as the representative of France, the friend of England." LIBEL LAW DENOUNCED. Harry A. Willard Addresses National Editorial Association at Omaha and Excoriates Pennsylvania Law. Omaha, Neb., July 9.—"Yellow" journalism and the libel law of Pennsylvania were denounced by President Harry A. Willard at the opening of the National Editorial association's convention yesterday. "One of the paramount questions of the day to our profession," said Mr. Willard, "is the libel law, made more pointed than ever by the enactment of a Pennsylvania Legislature, and signed by Gov. Pennypacker. "It is the duty of this body to pass strong resolutions," he said, "against this law, which seeks to throttle the press and give both moral and financial support to secure its repeal." A MOONLIGHT CEREMONY Archbishop Farley Invested with Pal lium by Mgr. Farrelly in Even ing Without Lights. New York, July 9.—Mgr. Farrelly, who brought the pallium to Archbishop Farley from the Pope, has conferred it in the presence of but one witness. This private investiture was made to complete the bestowal during the reign of Leo XIII. The archbishop had sent away the lights which had been taken to his room and the ceremony was lighted only by the moon. The circumstances surrounding it are believed to be without precedent. DELEHANTY'S BODY FOUND UNDER FALLS. Famous Baseball Player's Fate Is No Longer in Doubt—Corpse in Niagara River. Niagara Falls, N. Y., July 9.—A body believed to be that of Edward Delehanty, the right fielder of the Washington baseball team of the American league, who fell from the international bridge last Thursday night, was taken from the river at the Lower Niagara gorge today. Relatives of Delehanty have been notified. VENEZUELAN REBELS ARE PUT TO FLIGHT. Government Forces Recapture the Entire Coast Along Gulf of Paria.

Jeannette, Pa., July 9.—Almost $30,000 has been collected for the relief of the sufferers by the Oakford park dam disaster. About $60,000 more will be needed. Coroner Charles A. Wynne has set next Wednesday as the date for the inquest. The body of Miss Mary B. Davis was found last night, making twenty-one recovered so far. N. E. A. ELECTS OFFICERS. J. W.

Henry Rhoades of Kentucky treasurer, and seventy-five vice presidents, of whom President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard university is the first. A Giant's Clothes At Stamford a suit of clothes belonging to Daniel Lambert, the celebrated Leicester giant, was offered at auction, says London Tit-Bits. The clothes have been on exhibition for many years at a public house, which has just changed hands. Lambert was the most corpulent man of his generation, weighing about 700 pounds. "Gen." Tom Thumb walked through the arm of his coat. The bidding reached $375, at which figure the lot was withdrawn. Birch Bark Postals A pretty fancy, in vogue just now among the summer residents in the mountains, is to take a strip of birch bark and cut it up into the dimensions of postal cards, stamping and sending the same to town friends. The mails accept these little missives which, properly directed and bearing a friendly message on the reverse side, constitute an agreeable variation of the souvenir postal card.—Brooklyn Eagle. POPE'S FRIEND IS DEAD. Cardinal Volpini Suddenly Stricken in Vatican. Rome, July 9.—Mgr. Volpini, who was stricken with syncope yesterday, died early this morning, shortly after the doctors in attendance had announced that all hope of saving his life had been abandoned. Although the condition of the Pope is still the center of interest the case of Mgr. Volpini has attracted much attention, not only because of his office of secretary of the consistorial congregation, to which he had just been appointed by Pope Leo, but also on account of the manner in which he was seized by his fatal illness, and it is hardly possible to describe the sensation and emotion which prevailed at the vatican when his death was announced. Lost Power of Speech. From the moment he was stricken and fell to the floor Mgr. Volpini lost entirely the power of speech and the use of entire right side of his body and he was apparently unconscious when he died. It has been ascertained that the cause of death was cerebral congestion. Can't Keep News from Pope. Great care has been taken to keep the news of Mgr. Volpini's illness and death from the Pope, but it will be impossible to do this long, as the office consistorial congregation, to which Pope Leo appointed the deceased prelate July 5, the last appointment made by his holiness, must be filled without delay, in view of the possibility of a papal interregnum, as it is known that at the moment the Pope dies the secretary of state ceases to exercise his functions, which pass to the hands of the secretary of the consistorial congregation, whose career is from that time assured as according to custom he is the first cardinal to be appointed by the new Pope. Romans' Sarcastic Humor. The sarcastic humor of the Romans reveals itself even at this solemn and sad moment. The remark has been heard that Pope Leo, not satisfied with having outlived all the cardinals created by his predecessor, except Cardinal Oreglia, and over one hundred of those created by himself, now will outlive all those to be created by his successor. MORE PALACE SENTRIES. President Palma Increases Guard About Havana State House Because of Rumors of Discontent. Havana, July 9.—Eight members of the rural guard have been placed on duty as sentries at the palace because of rumors of the possibility of some of the malcontent ex-revolutionary soldiers taking measures to force the government to pay the army. Gen. Rodriguez has increased his force of guards at Havana. Senor Yero, secretary of the interior, has summoned the governors of all provinces to Havana to concert means of maintaining public order. The Senate is at present discussing the bill regarding the payment of the army. The coaling stations treaty will be taken up later. The period of the two-year enlistments of the rural guard is expiring, and many of the guards are not disposed to re-enlist. Cavalrymen receive $42 monthly and furnish their own horses, fodder, clothes and subsistence. President Palma sent a recommendation to the House of Representatives to increase the force to 3000 and to make various changes affecting the pay of the men. The colonists, chiefly from Canada and Michigan, residing near Holguin, where an American was murdered by robbers June 30, have asked for more protection. PROF. KOCH'S THEORY IS STRENGTHENED. Animal Consumption Does Not Cause Human Consumption—Theory to Be Further Investigated. Berlin, July 9.—The Berlin Medical society assembled yesterday evening to hear President Kossil of the imperial health office report the results of the prolonged experiments of the tuberculosis commission of infecting calves with human tuberculosis. Prof. Koch's observations caused the health office to appoint a commission to make systematic experiments. The commission summarizes as follows: "The series of experiments strengthens Prof. Koch's view that animal consumption as the cause of human consumption does not play the role generally attributed to it; but definite judgment requires further experimentation." In the discussion which followed, Prof. Orth, the late Prof. Virchow's successor, strongly combatted the view that human and animal consumption were dissimilar and non-transferable. MR. HAY WILL NOT RESIGN Secretary cf State Is in Full Accord with the President in His Foreign Policy. Washington, D. C., July 9.—Secretary of State Hay will not retire from the cabinet. This subject has never been mentioned, either by President Roosevelt or Secretary Hay, who has no intention of resigning. President Roosevelt and his secretary of state are in thorough accord on every matter concerning the foreign policy of the administration, including the Kishineff massacre and the sending of a petition of American Jews to the Czar of Russia. WILL SEND WARSHIP TO VENEZUELA. WILL SEND WARSHIP TO VENEZUELA. United States Will Secure the Release of Washington, D. C., July 9.—Secretary Moody will order a warship to Venezuela to secure the release of five American steamers detained at San Fernando and Bolivar by the Venezuelan revolutionary forces. The orders will be issued to the Bancroft. THE POWDER WORKS BLOWN UP. Rumor That California Factory Has Gone Up in Smoke. Oakland, Cal., July 9.—It is rumored here that the powder works at Pinola have blown up. HANGED TOO QUICK. While Judge Hears Arguments for Injunction Restraining Execution Prisoner Is Killed. Lincoln, Neb., July 10.—The hanging of William Rhea, which was to have taken place at 12:30 o'clock today, was postponed thirty minutes pending a decision of the supreme court on an application for an injunction to prevent the hanging. The action before the court was brought in view of the reprieve granted Rhea by Gov. Savage. The reprieve imposed "hard labor" upon Rhea as punishment. The attorneys for Rhea argued that this imposition nullified the sentence for hanging, in that it serves two punishments for the same crime. Governor Refuses Reprieve. The supreme court denied the application passandia nq noq noq noq willingness to go into consultation regarding the granting of a reprieve by the governor until a further hearing of the application could be made. The governor and Chief Justice Sullivan of the supreme court then went into consultation regarding such action. The conference soon ended. Gov. Mickey refused to grant a further reprieve and ordered the sheriff to proceed with the execution. The attorneys for Rhea in a last effort went before Judge Holmes of the district court in an endeavor to get the lower court to prepare an injunction stopping the execution. Before the injunction proceedings could be prepared, Gov. Mickey's order was carried out and Rhea was hanged at 1:21. Committed Brutal Murder. The crime of William Rhea was the killing of Herman Zahn, a saloon keeper in the village of Snyder, January 4, 1901. With two companions Rhea had been carousing in and near the village for a number of days. They entered Zahn's saloon flourishing weapons and demanding that the inmates hold up their hands. Zahn pleaded with the men to leave his place. Rhea thereupon shot him dead. Unusual pressure had been brought on Gov. Mickey for a reprieve or commutation, but without success. The name of Rhea was assumed. His parents live in Indiana and his father sent lawyers from that state to argue with the governor. Petitions for clemency were also circulated in Lincoln and over the state, and were numerously signed. Rhea was but 18 years old when the crime was committed. THANKED BY JEW. Lord Mayor of London Rejoices That America Is Able to Raise Voice of Protest. London, July 10.—Lord Mayor Samuel gave a luncheon at the mansion house here today in honor of Rear Admiral Cotton and the other officers of the United States European squadron now at anchor in Portsmouth harbor. Praised for Jew Petition. The lord mayor proposed the health of "Admiral Cotton, his officers and the entire American navy." Incidentally he made a striking reference to the Kishineff massacre. He said he was thankful that the United States was not bound by diplomatic rules and etiquette and had not hesited to raise its voice in protest against the barbarites of the world wherever they occurred. The King's Dinner. At a dinner given in honor of the visiting American naval officers, King Edward in a tactful speech took occasion to make a declaration in favor of closer relations between the United States and Great Britain. His majesty made it clear that he desired that the two nations move together in the interests of the peace of the world. He expressed gratification at the acceptance of his invitation by Rear Admiral Cotton and his squadron to England. He asserted that what he said represented the sentiment of the whole British people, and he proposed a toast to President Roosevelt, for whom he "entertained the highest consideration and admiration." Entertain Prince of Wales. The Prince of Wales has accepted an invitation to breakfast on the United States flagship Kearsarge at Portmouth, probably on Sunday. Some of the most distinguished officials of the empire will be present. King Cables the President Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 10.—King Edward of England, after proposing the health of President Roosevelt at the banquet in Buckingham Palace, which he gave last night to Admiral Cotton and the officers of the American squadron, now at Portsmouth, indited while sitting at the banquet board a message of friendship to the President. The cablegram was received here and is as follows: London, July 9, 1903.—The President, Oyster Bay, N. Y.—I have the great pleasure in entertaining Admiral Cotton and the captains of his squadron and have just proposed your health with every feeling of cordiality and friendship. (Signed) EDWARD R. A reply will be sent by President Roosevelt upon his return to Sagamore Hill. TRAIN RUNS DOWN NINE. Five People in Wagon Were Killed and Four Were Badly Injured. Cincinnati, O., July 10.—A Pennsylvania train struck a wagon containing nine people at a crossing near Red Comb Junction last night. Five people were killed and four injured. The dead: J. C. Copenhaven, Ollie Copenhaven, aged 11; Charles Copenhaven, 25; Grace Lemnick, 12; William Booth. Three of the injured are in a critical condition. The occupants of the wagon failed to observe the train and started over. Two Old Milwaukeeans Are Wedded at Waukegan—Joseph Barth and Mary Bothe United. Waukegan, Ill., July 10.—[Special.]—One of the oldest couples ever married here were Joseph Barth, aged 75, and Mary Bothe, aged 57, both of Milwaukee, who came here yesterday and were wedded. EMPLOYERS DEFEAT UNIONS. New York, July 10.—After a conference of many hours, full of bitter argument, it was announced last night at the headquarters of the Building Trades Employers' association that the long tie up was at last settled—definitely and positively. "The men will go to work Monday," said Mr. Prince of the Employers' association. It was said that even Sam Parks has decided that it is the part of wisdom to accept the arbitration scheme, although it does away with walking delegates.

King Christian of Denmark is a very old man, but he still preserves his wit.

He replied that he had no desire at present to be petrified, and the project was dropped. Monday is the favorite day for committing suicide.

One Meets Death and Several Are Irjured. Coach Rolls Over on Tracks of Another Road, Wrecking Passenger St. Louis, Mo., July 10.—One person, a girl, was killed, four were seriously injured, at least one of whom will die, and a score slightly hurt in a wreck on the Terminal Railroad association's line between Granite City and Madison, Ill., today. The dead girl was identified as Arma J. Jerskamp of St. Louis. The slightly injured were left at Madison, while those more seriously hurt were brought to St. Louis. Among the latter are: Fred Winker, both legs severed; will die. Evert Hasting, leg and arm broken and head cut. George Fry, foot crushed and arm broken, Joseph Stein, leg broken and ankle crushed. The injured, who were cared for in Madison, were: Charles Biankey of St. Louis, knee injured; Kate Haynes of Madison, face bruised; Rose Jordan of St. Louis, back injured; Lille Overbery of North Venice, side bruised; Mabel Overbery of North Venice, head bruised, arm and leg cut; Edith Klump of Madison, arm, head and body badly bruised. Many Workmen Injured. Most of the men injured and the other passengers on the train were employees of the Commonwealth Steel company at Granite City, Ill. The women were employees of the National Enameling and Stamping company. The terminal passenger train which left St. Louis at 6:25 a.m., consisting of nine coaches loaded with workmen for the factories of the tri-cities, jumped the track on a small trestle just north of the American Car and Foundry company's shops at Madison. One coach rolled over upon the tracks of the Chicago & Alton, striking the baggage coach of a passenger train passing in the opposite direction. The derailed cab was badly crushed. The Chicago & Alton train was not wrecked. Spreading of the rails of the trestle, which had been weakened by the flood, is believed to have caused the accident. Wreck on St. Paul Road. Cedar Rapids, Ia., July 10.—Two St. Paul freight trains collided last night near Amana. Both engines and seventeen cars were piled in a mass. The dead: DUSEK, JOSEPH, fireman, Cedar Rapids. HAYNES, GEORGE, brakeman, Cedar Rapids. UNIDENTIFIED MAN, supposed to be trump. Engineer Joss Marion and Fireman E. C. Peeley were slightly injured. Several tramps who were stealing a ride may be under the wreckage. The collision was caused by misreading orders. SIX DAYS IN THE WOODS. Man Startles Villagers of Grand Marias by Appearing on Main Street in Pitiable Condition. Grand Marais, Mich., July 10.—[Special.]—A man walked up the main street of this village without a vestige of clothing upon him. He was furnished with clothing and food and it developed that he had been lost in the woods. He said that he had not eaten anything for six days. He came to Grand Marais from Sheldrake, Chippewa county, about three weeks ago and started out to find employment in some logging camp. He claims to have walked through to Germfask, forty miles, and not securing work there, left. Not far from Germfask he became lost. On the second day he met a man in the woods who forced him to undress and give up his clothes, leaving him without even footwear. He continued his wanderings, crossing swamps and hills and finally striking an old logging road which brought him to a ridge from which he could discern Lake Superior in the distance. He set out for the lake and came into Grand Marais, and when seen and taken into custody was making his way to a lodging house, where he had left his other clothes. His body from head to foot was a pitiable sight as a result of mosquito bites and cuts from coming in contact with brush, and his flesh was in a terribly inflamed condition. The country in which the unfortunate man was lost is about the wildest in the peninsula. He will recover. SHOOTS TWO MEN. Mason City (Ill.) Merchants Are Wounded by Edward Barton of Springfield. Bloomington, Ill., July 10.—Edward Barton of Springfield today fatally shot Julius Frank and Irving Rosenfield, merchants of Mason City, thirty miles from here. Barton formerly lived in Mason City and it is said was a race track follower. He went there last night and this morning entered the clothing store owned by the men to make a purchase. Rosenfield waited upon him. Suddenly Barton left him and walked to the rear of the store where Frank was working. Without warning Barton shot Frank through the lungs. Rosenfield went to the assistance of his partner and Barton then shot twice. Parker has Barton then shot twice. A clerk disarmed Barton, who was arrested, put upon a train and taken to the county seat at Havana, just in time to escape a mob that was being organized. Bloomington, Ill., July 10.—At noon Frank and Rosenfield, the victims of the Mason City shooting, were still alive, but Frank's condition was very critical. CONDITION OF CROP. Washington, D. C., July 10. Average condition of winter wheat is 78.8. Spring wheat 82.5. Corn acreage planted 89,800,000. Average condition growing crop on July 1 was 79.4. Average condition July 1, spring and winter wheat combined was 80, as compared with 82.9 in 1902. Amount wheat remaining in farmers' hands estimated at 42,500,000 bushels. PHILIPPINE DEBT FOR SALE. Government Invites Bids for $3,000,000 in Certificates. Washington, D. C., July 10.—A circular was issued today from the war department inviting bids for $3,000,000 of the certificates of indebtedness of the Philippine islands. Bryan Is Going to Europe. Lincoln, Neb., July 10.—William Jennings Bryan has announced his intention of going to Europe this fall to study sociology under monarchial forms of government. ITALY MAY INTERFERE. Government May Insist Upon Right to Interfere in Election of Pope. Rome, July 10.—9:30 a. m.—Premier Zanardelli had a long conference today with the minister of justice, Signor Coccu Ortu, under whose jurisdiction are all religious affairs in Italy, about the eventual right of veto which the Italian government might exercise at the next conclave. The Right to Veto. Three Catholic powers, Spain, France and Austria, enjoy this privilege, termed the "right of exclusion," which entitles them to veto the election of a candidate who is not a persona grata to their governments. In such a case a power which may desire to prevent the election of a certain candidate deputes a cardinal of its nationality to announce the objection at the conclave, but the announcement must be made while the scrutiny is going on, before the candidate has received the majority of votes required to elect, otherwise the protest would be invalid. Important in Middle Ages. This right has been regarded as extremely important, especially in the middle ages, when Italy, being the largest field of action for France, Austria and Spain, the choice of a pontiff was a question of supreme importance, as he played a leading part in their disputes. Italy claims the right referred to as the heir of the kingdom of the two Sicilies, which enjoyed the right, but Italy did not exercise it in the last conclave and may perhaps find it difficult to do so now, as no Italian cardinals, even among those who are most conciliatory, would undertake to represent united Italy, which is considered by the church to have usurped the temporal sovereignty of the papacy. No Italian Representative. Besides Italy's policy consists in considering the papacy to be merely a spiritual power which, enjoying under Italian law complete liberty and independence, can without political intervention exercise its ministry in Rome, the capital of the kingdom. Portugal also claims to be entitled to veto the election of an undesirable cardinal to the papacy, but her right has never been acknowledged. Tried to Veto Leo's Election. Austria tried at both the last conclaves respectively to prevent the election of Pius IX, and Leo XIII., but the two cardinals, Cayrruck and Ganglebiur, deputed for the task, both arrived too late. The last time the "right of exclusion" was successfully employed was in 1835, when Spain prevented Cardinal Giustinian from being elected Pope, when he had already received 21 out of the 29 votes necessary to reach the required two-thirds votes necessary for election. Cardinal Giustinian was so disappointed that he died shortly after the conclave. THINGVALLA PIER DESTROYED BY FIRE. Many Narrowly Escape Death in Conflagration at Hoboken—The Loss Is Estimated at $500,000. New York, July 10.—The Thingvalla line pier at Hoboken is on fire. There are no steamers at the dock. The fire was under control by 2 o'clock but the pier had been badly damaged. There was no loss of life. The loss is estimated at $500,000: $200,000 of the pier, a like amount on the freight, and $100,000 on baggage. There were 150 men on the pier when the fire broke out and many of these had to jump into the water, their escape landward having been cut off. All were rescued. Several firemen were overcome fighting the fire. A stampede occurred in a bathhouse adjoining the docks and two children were injured. WAR CLOUDS CLEARING. Small Chance of a Conflict Between Turkey and Bulgaria—Sultan May Defy the Powers. Constantinople, July 10.—Official news received from Sofia yesterday was more assuring. Bulgaria has abandoned the intention of reinforcing its troops on the frontier. In diplomatic circles a calm view of the situation is now taken and it is believed the storm has passed away. London, July 10.—According to a Constantinople dispatch to Daily Telegraph, a special says session of the ministerial council was held on July 8 at which it is said the war party insisted on Turkey's right to continue the occupation of strategic points on the frontier in spite of Austrian and Russian remonstrances. It was maintained that it was impossible to act otherwise lest Turkey be caught unprepared. The dispatch adds that a panic occurred on the bourse yesterday and Turkish bonds fell $1 \frac{1}{2}$ points owing to sales by palace functionaries. GIRL EATS POISONED CANDY AND DIES. Young Woman Accepts Box of Confectionery from Discarded Lover— He Is Held for Murder. Savannah, Ga., July 10.—Miss Ida Weeks, a society girl and daughter of one of the best families in Georgia, is dead at her home at Reidsville, in Tatuall county, and her discarded lover, Roache Barnard, a lawyer, is under arrest, charged with having caused her death by giving her poisoned candy. Barnard and Miss Weeks were once engaged to be married. Last Sunday Barnard begged her to marry him, but she refused. As he was leaving he gave her a box of candy. Miss Weeks ate several pieces and soon went into convulsions. OCEAN TRIP FOR PAYNE. Postmaster General Will Leave Washington on Wednesday for a Ten-Day Cruise. Washington, D. C., July 10.—Postmaster General Payne today announced that he would leave here next Wednesday on a cruise along the coast to Boston. He said that he would take advantage of the regular cruise of the revenue cutter Onandaga to go on that vessel and would be away about ten days. RUSSIAN MINISTER STOPS NEGRO PETITION. Won't Forward to Czar Protest Against the Treatment of the Blacks in the United Statés. London, July 10.—The Russian ambassador in London, according to The Catholic Herald, had refused to receive a petition relative to the treatment of Negroes in the United States and forward it to the Czar, as requested by The Catholic Herald. FARMERS CORNER Marker from an Old Cultivator. The illustration shows a corn marker without a fault. All cultivators are not alike, as some have straight tongues, and some have a seat attached, but they can all be used by simply removing the wheels and shovel beams.

No. 2 on B No. 1, snap H on same ring, and your highest ideal of a perfect corn marker will be realized. I use E for handles when turning at the end of the field.—Cor. Orange Judd Farmer. A Place for Milk Pans. When a dairyman has a number of cows necessitating the use of a great many cans, it is not always easy to keep the cans clean and placed so that they will take up but little room. The device illustrated shows a method which has the merit of being cheap and at the same time keeping the cans in a position so that they will drain thoroughly. Set two posts in the desired place far enough apart so as to furnish the required amount of space for the cans; to these posts nail several boards, and on the boards fasten at intervals several hooks of iron or wood to catch the handle of the can over as shown in the cut. The can is held in position by loops of rope as indicated. The side of any building can, of course, be utilized for the purpose when convenient, and save the cost of building a special structure. St. Paul Dispatch. Self-Feeding Salt Box Even so simple a thing as a salt box is a source of much satisfaction if made a little better than others of the kind. The one illustrated was first suggested to me some time ago and has been improved till it fills the bill. The board at the back is 10 inches wide and about 4 feet long. The sides of the box are nailed directly onto this board, and the top of the box is joined to the SALT BOX. SALT BOX. board by strap iron hinges, which are better than leather. The end piece inside the box, and next to the board, does not quite reach the board, and the bottom of the box, being nailed to the end piece, also does not reach the board. Thus rain running down the long board cannot get into the box and soak the salt. The board is nailed to a building, tree or fence wherever wanted. The support in front is a stake driven into the ground and fastened with a nail to the projecting bottom of the box. Animals soon learn to open the cover and help themselves. The cover closes by gravitation.—H. H. Hershey, in Farm and Home. The Uncle Sam Potato. A heavy yielding variety of more than average quality is something growers of potatoes have long desired, and the tests of the new variety, Uncle Sam, shown in the cut, indicate that it fills the bill. So large are the yields of this variety under ordinary culture, expert growers claim that it has no equal. The tubers are uniform in size, with comparatively few very small specimens, and the quality is of the very best. In season the variety is medium to late. Unfortunately, results are not all that can be desired on heavy soils or clay, but on sandy or loamy soils it has no equal. In form the Uncle Sam is oval, pure white, with russet skin and shallow eyes near the surface. Continued tests may prove that the variety will do better on heavy soils after the first season, which is frequently the case with sorts that have been grown from the beginning in lighter soils. At all events, the variety has too many good points to throw it aside for culture on heavy soils after a single season of testing. Churning Hints. Should you use the old-fashioned dasher churn you are annoyed by the cream, milk and butter splashing out at the top, where the dasher handle goes through. This may be avoided by melting the bottom off a small fruit or baking powder can and placing it over the handle of the dasher. It rests on the lid of the churn and catches all the "splash" and conducts it back into the churn. If you only have one pound of butter per week to sell, don't take it to market in a shapeless mass. A mold is cheap and pays for itself in a short time. People like to buy attractive butter and will pay extra for it.—Midland Farmer. The Use of Sweat Pads. The use of sweat pads under some circumstances may be justified, especially when horses have started work in the spring in good form and are reduced in flesh during the summer. One of the principal objections to the sweat pad is that it tends to become soggy, and consequently increases the friction between the surface of the pad and the shoulder. It sometimes happens that by the use of the pad one can fit a collar that could otherwise not be worn. In this instance the price of a collar may be saved. By the use of the pad the draft is often thrown on the outer edge of the shoulders, while it should be as close in as possible. When an animal gets a sore spot on some part of his shoulder it is sometimes possible to cut a hole in the pad and thus relieve the pressure on this place until it becomes healed. The main thing is to have a collar fit the shoulder well. Where this is the case there is seldom any danger of irritation, providing the hames are properly fitted to the collar and pulled up tightly each time they are put on. It never pays to work away with a collar that does not fit, because an animal that constantly experiences pain through ill-fitting harness cannot do the same amount of work, nor do it as willingly, as would be the case if all parts of the harness are adjusted to its form.—Iowa Homestead. Profit in Early Turnips. Market gardeners who are situated so as to command a good trade direct with consumers will find the growing of turnips, and especially of the early varieties, profitable. The illustration shows specimens of Early Milan, one of the best turnips grown. It is the earliest white turnip in cultivation, and of splendid quality, just suited to housekeepers who object to the pungent taste of most varieties of turnips. The flesh is fine grained, tender and clear white. The skin is also white and very attractive. The top is small TWO EARLY TURNITS. and the turnip grows with a single tap root, hence is well suited to cultivation on ground where space must be economized. It is well worth a trial, and should be grown by every farmer for his own table, even though not for market.-Inditnapolis News. Sowing Clover in Corn. Many who have attempted to get a stand of crimson clover have failed and have given up attempting the work. This is a mistake, for if one can get a crop of crimson clover to turn under, the cost of farm fertilizers may be materially reduced. A good plan is to sow crimson and red clover mixed, at the rate of six to eight quarts per acre, doing the work just before the last cultivation of the corn and seeing that the cultivation is very shallow. In many cases the stand of clover will be good and it will go through the winter in fair shape and, when plowed under the following spring, will add greatly to the fertility of the soil. It might pay, in sections where poor results have come from crimson clover, to sow rye in place of clover and then try the clover another year. Or cow-peas may be used in place of rye or clover, and then the clover tried the following year. It pays to keep on experimenting until one is able to get a stand of crimson clover.—Indianapolis News. How to Handle the Hoe. Some men will use the hoe so that the top layer of soil is cut off clean and gathered up with the weeds that may have been the chief object of the hoeing. The surface remaining will be hard and smooth-quite the reverse of what it should be. Cultivation should mean a stirring of the surface, making it fine. If this be done in loamy soil shortly after a rain it will not break into large lumps. Feeding the Dairy Heifer. The heifer intended for the dairy should be first to last fed generously to promote growth, but not fat forming; hence the rations should be a judicious feeding of oats, bran, clover, shorts. Then when the making of milk is required the fat forming habit will not have been made a feature of her growth. Sugar Corn. In the latitude of Philadelphia it will do to make the last planting of sugar corn on July 1, and one ought to be made then; one also in the middle of June. There are few more paying crops than sugar corn for late market. It always brings a good price.—Farm Journal. Trim Wing Off Suckers. A good farmer says that June is about the best time to trim the suckers out of apple trees. It is his experience that when removed at this season they do not sprout as they will if done at any other time of the year. HOUSEHOLD TALKS Lay the cucumbers in brine for three days, then drain and lay in fresh water for a day. Line a kettle with grape leaves and arrange the cucumbers in it in layers, scattering a pinch of alum over each layer. Cover with cold water and three layers of leaves, fit a lid on the kettle and steam the pickles without letting them boil over a slow fire for six hours. Drain the cucumbers and throw into cold water and when they are firm pack into jars. Fill the jars with boiling vinegar that has been seasoned with a cup of sugar to each quart, eight whole cloves, eight black peppers, six allspice and six blades of mace. Seal the jars at once. They will be ready for use in three months. Tomato Catchup. Tomato Catchup. Boll together until soft a peck of ripe tomatoes and four onions, then rub through a colander and strain through a sieve. Put the liquid into a kettle with a half teaspoonful of grated garlic, a dozen sprigs of parsley, two bay leaves, a tablespoonful of sugar, one of salt, one of ground cloves, one each of mace and black pepper and a tiny muslin bag containing two teaspoonfuls of celery seed and a teaspoonful of paprica. Add a pint of vinegar and boil, stirring constantly, until the liquid is reduced one-half and is very thick. Remove the bag of celery seed, add a cup of vinegar, boil again for ten minutes and remove from the fire. When cold, bottle and seal. Swiss Potatoes: Select potatoes of even shape and size. Scrub and then bake. Directly the potatoes are done, slice off the top of each and scoop out the potato, taking care not to break the skin. Mash the pulp with a little milk, butter, and season very highly with grated cheese and cayenne. Stir in a little chopped parsley and beat till light. Return the pulp to the skins, letting it rise a little over the top, and run a little butter over it. Then set in a hot oven and bake a light brown. Green Peas, Parisian Style. Put three pints of green peas into a saucepan with two ounces of butter, half a dozen branches of parsley tied together, a peeled onion, a pinch of sugar, a little salt, a head of lettuce cut in strips, and half a pint of water. Simmer gently till the peas are done, mix three beaten eggs with three tablespoonfuls of cream, and having removed the parsley and onion, add to the peas, leaving the lettuce in. Mix all well together, and serve.—The Epicure. Raspberry Vinegar. For raspberry vinegar pour one quart of good cider vinegar over two quarts of red raspberries and set aside for two days. Drain off the liquid and pour it over a second two quarts of raspberries. Repeat this process once more, strain carefully and add a pound of sugar to each pint of juice. Boil five minutes and bottle. In serving, allow two-thirds of water and a generous portion of shaved ice to two-thirds of the vinegar. Mashed Potatoes. Milanaise. Boil the required number of potatoes till done, drain till they are perfectly dry; then mash with a fork till smooth and creamy, moistening during the mashing process with chicken stock. Season with salt and white pepper, and add considerable whipped cream-enough to enable you to beat the potato with an egg beater. Put into a dish, smooth lightly, sprinkle grated parmesan over the top and brown in a rather hot oven. Inexpensive Sponge Cake. One cupful of granulated sugar, one and one-half cupfuls of flour, with one scant teaspoonful of baking powder sifted together three times. Three eggs beaten separately, one-half cupful of cold water. Pour about half of the water on the sugar, and then add yolks of eggs well beaten; add the remalnder of the water and flour alternately, then add whites of eggs, stir lightly, put in pan and bake about forty minutes. Pineapple Lemonade. Pineapple lemonade is refreshing and is prepared with very little trouble. Pare and grate a ripe pineapple; add the juice of four or five lemons and syrup made by boiling together for a few minutes two cups of sugar and the same quantity of water. Mix and add a quart of water. When quite cold strain and ice. A maraschino cherry in each glass is an addition. Cream Filling for Chocolate Creams. Beat the white of an egg light with a tablespoonful of sugar, add a teaspoonful of vanilla and enough confectioners' sugar to make a mixture stiff enough to be rolled into balls, beat very smooth, then form into balls the size of a small marble and spread in a pan to get stiff and firm before rolling them in the melted chocolate. Planked Steak. Take a thick steak, sirloin, well seasoned. Place on a well-buttered plank, with border of potatoes all around. Set into a hot baking oven until cooked as desired. Then add some good butter and garnish with new vegetables and serve hot. A Head-on Collision on Southern Railway Near Rockfish, Va. Freight Train Did Not Obey Orders and Wreck Is Result—Most of Victims Negroes. Washington, D. C., July 8.—Twenty three persons were killed and nine persons injured in a head-on collision on the Southern railway at Rockfish, Va., yesterday afternoon. The passenger train leaving Washington at 11:15 a. m. for Atlanta, Ga., dashed into a local freight standing on the main line of the road at that point, wrecking both engines and the baggage and express cars of the passenger. The baggage car and the second-class passenger coach immediately following it were telescoped. M'CORMICK, engineer, who was riding as a passenger on the freight. Freight Engineer to Blame. The freight train was in charge of Conductor Brubeck and Engineer Hale and at the time of the accident was on the return run from Lynchburg to Charlotteville. Rockfish station is midway between these two points and the track there is a single one. Engineer Hale had orders to get out of the way of the fast passenger train, but for some reason which has not yet been explained he had overstayed his time and had failed to take a siding so that the passenger train could pass. The trains came together with a horrible crash and a fearful scene of panic ensued when the occupants of the cars realized what had occurred. Many Passengers on Train. The passenger train was made up of an express car, a baggage car, two day coaches and two Pullman cars. The two Pullmans formed an early morning New York connection at Washington for Atlanta and the south. The train arriving here at 10:32 a. m. from Boston also made connections. It is estimated here that there were in all probably 120 passengers on the train, including those from Boston and intermediate points. Engineer McCormick, who was a passenger on the freight train, was going to Charlottesville to take a train south at the time he met his death. The engineer of the freight escaped without injury. It was at first reported that Baggagman Payne of train No. 35 had met his death in the wreck. Later reports, however, show that this is incorrect. He was caught under one of the coaches and was badly stunned. It is now said to be almost certain that of those killed nineteen were colored persons, as the second-class coach, which was telescoped, was occupied almost exclusively by them. Fatal Collision in Ohio. Alliance, O., July 8.—A head-on collision occurred at Berlin Center, twelve miles northeast of here, between a passenger and freight train on the Pittsburg, Youngstown & Ashtabula road. Passenger Fireman Cecil McKnight of Espyville, Pa., was instantly killed. Four were badly injured. Just what was the cause of the accident is not yet known. THANK CARNEGIE. Receives Letters from Czar of Russia and Queen Wilhelmina of The Netherlands. New York, July 8.—Andrew Carnegie has received the following letters from Count Cassini, the ambassador of Russia in Washington, and from the Queen of the Netherlands, on the occasion of his presentation of the sum of $1,500,000 to the Netherlands government, for a courthouse and library for the use of the permanent court of arbitration at The Hague: Imperial Embassy of Russia. Washington, D. C., May 28, 1903.—Andrew Carnegie. Esq.—Sir: His majesty the Emperor has learned with the utmost satisfaction of the generous donation of $1,500,000 given by you for the purpose of erecting a building at The Hague to be held as the permanent seat of the international court of arbitration and for a library in connection with the same. His majesty directs me to convey to you the expression of his deep and heartfelt appreciation of this munificent gift, bestowed on a cause, the initiative of which belongs to my most gracious master, who trusts that its further development will prove of inestimable value to the future peace of the world and the happiness of all mankind. Acquitting myself with the greatest pleasure of the agreeable duty intrusted to me, I remain sincerely yours, (Signed) COUNT CASSINI. Ambassador of Russia. Wilhelmina, Queen of The Netherlands. Princess of Orange-Nassau, etc., etc., etc., To Andrew Carnegie, Eso. In order that the institution originated by the peace conference may attain its full development, not only the co-operation of sovereigns and governors is necessary, but the sympathy of private persons also is needed. You, sir, have felt this and suited the action to the sentiment with characteristic energy you have offered a princely gift for the establishment of a palace and library worthy of the court of arbitration. May the palace of peace which will owe its existence to your munificence, remain throughout time the imposing symbol of the humane endeavor to solve the differences between nations by peaceful means. Your contributing so largely towards the realization of this end is a noble deed which I and my people appreciate the more highly; because an international decree having placed the seat of the court of arbitration in this country, the Netherlands considers itself the guardian of their idea of peace which it was the aim of The Hague conference to see fulfilled. The object of this letter is to offer you these our most heartfelt thanks. Given at the palace Soestdyk, the 11th of June, 1903. (Signed) WILHELMINA. Venezuelan Government Seizes Three and Revolutionists Two-Offer Made to Rebel Leader. Port of Spain, July 8.—It is reported from Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela, that the Venezuelan government forces yesterday captured three American steamers near Apure, and that the revolutionists at Ciudad Bolivar have captured two American vessels. Attack on Ciudad Bolivar is expected to take place tomorrow, but before attacking the city, Gen. Gomez will offer Gen. Rolande, commander of the revolutionists in the name of President Castro the presidency of one of the states of Venezuela, if Rolande will support the Venezuelan government. Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, July 8.—The French gunboat Juoffroy passed here last night on its way to Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela, which is in the hands of the revolutionists, to protect French interests and collect documents to claims arising from the revolutions.

He built for himself a hut on the margin of a creek which empties into the Potomac river, seven miles above Georgetown. The Revolution came and went; the tall, lithe figure of the hermit became bowed with years, and his shaggy dark locks turned gray. During these years he had been a hunter and fisher, his only clothing the skins of beasts, and two hunting dogs his only companions. He sought no intercourse with the few human beings who, straying from the much-traveled "river road," occasionally drifted into his lonely glen; but, to the kindly disposed and the curious, his manners were ever those of a gentleman. He had a strong, beautiful voice, in which he sang sweet but sad verses of his own composition, accompanying himself on a banjo, or mandolin, constructed of rude materials by his own hands. Toward the close of the last century he disappeared. The hermit had been known on the Potomac as "John of the Cabin," and the little stream by which stood his tiny home is still called "Cabin John Creek." The ravine through which it flows is now spanned by a bridge which for over forty years has figured in our national history, and bears the added distinction of being the longest single arch stone bridge in the world. Work of Jefferson Davis. Early in Pierce's administration Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, directed Capt. Montgomery C. Meigs, United States Corps of Engineers, to span the ravine and the creek with a conduit bridge, to convey to the rapidly growing city of Washington its water supply, from the reservoir at Great Falls, sixteen miles above the city. In November, 1852, Capt. Meigs had begun the work of designing and constructing the Potomac aqueduct. This together with the duties of superintending the building of the new wings of the general postoffice, and the completion of Fort Madison, at Annapolis, occupied his time so fully that work on the bridge was not begun until 1857. It was well under way when in July, 1860, he was detailed to duty at Fort Jefferson, Tortugas, Florida. The dimensions of Cahin John bridge The dimensions of Cabin John bridge are as follows: Feet Length of bridge, including abutments ..... 456 Height above bottom of ravine ..... 103 Length of span ..... 220 GEN. FRANK WHEATON. A Distinguished Soldier, with a Splendid Army Record. Major General Frank Wheaton, U. S. A., who died in Washington a few days ago, served in the army for forty-two years. Deceased was born in Providence, R. I., in 1833 and was in his 71st year. He became civil engineer, took part in the Mexican boundary surveys and, in 1855, was made lieutenant in the Third U. S. Caval- A. B. GEN. F. WHEATON. ry. The General's fighting record was one greatly to his credit. He took to the field against the Cheyenne Indians in 1857 and his opening fight was near Fort Kearny, Neb., where he acquitted himself most gallantly. He took part in the Utah expedition and, on the breaking out of the rebellion, proceeded to his native State and was made lieutenant colonel of the Second Rhode Island Volunteers; a month later he was made colonel, and had his troops in Virginia early in May, so that they took part in the opening engagement of the war at Bull Run. Thereafter the command was with the Army of the Potomac in all its desperate engagements. In 1862 the commander was made brigadier general and directed a division of the Sixth Corps at Gettysburg and in the campaign in the Schenandoah Valley in 1864, and was actively engaged in the maneuvers preceding the surrender of Lee in 1865 at Appomattox. For gallantry at the battles of Opeguan, Fisher's Hill and Middletown, Va., he was made major general and further honors came to him for bravery in the battles of the Wilderness, Cedar Vreek and Petersburg. For his chivalric conduct in these engagements the State of Rhode Island presented him with a sword in 1866.

Captain, later General, Meigs was very proud of this engineering feat, and always jealously regarded the work as being entirely his own. The erasures on one of the tablets of the bridge bear witness to his wrath when, on returning from Tortugas, he discovered that Capt. Henry W. Benham and Lieut. J. St. C. Morton, who had charge of the work during his absence, had caused their names to be inscribed on the bridge as chief engineers of construction. In addition to removing these names Capt. Meigs was successful in having Capt. Benham ordered to duty at Tortugas. It had been Capt. Meigs' intention, however, to have inscribed beneath his own the name of Mr. Rives, and the letters had already been traced in red chalk or paint when he received the news of Mr. Rives' resignation and enlistment in the Confederate army. "No rebel's name shall appear on my bridge," said Capt. Meigs. The stone cutters' orders were countermanded, the red letters disappeared, and in their place were cut the words, "Esto Perpetua," which Capt. Meigs intended should express the hope that the bridge would outlast the memory of the youth who had deserted it. Mr. Rives, now nearly 70 years of age, resides at "Castle Hill," his fine old estate, near Charlottesville, Va. He was superintendent of construction of the Panama Railroad and is still prominently connected with the Richmond and Danville Railroad. He has three beautiful daughters, one of whom is known in literary circles as Amelie Rives and in society as the Princess Troubetzkol. Another and still more widely known erasure was attributed, until recent years, to Gen. Meigs. This was the obliteration, in June, 1862, of the name of Jefferson Davis from the largest tablet of the bridge. The tablet was originally inscribed as follows: * WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT, * Begun A. D. 1853. * Franklin Pierce, President of the United States. * Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War. * Building A. D. 1861. * President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. * Secretary of War, Simon Cameron. JOKE HARRISON ENJOYED. But Justice Field, on Whom It Was Told, Failed to See the Fun in It. For all his ice and chilly quietudes President Harrison owned a sense of humor, and would now and then get hold of a joke and treasure it as a schoolboy might an apple, having it frequently out of his pocket to exhibit and admire. One such, says a writer in the Saturday Evening Post, is a story he was ever quick to tell on the austere Justice Field, who didn't like it. Complaining letters of all sorts come to a President. One day a Western marshal grew querulous because an item in his accounts, by which the government was charged with a carriage furnished Field from his hotel to the court, had been disallowed. The marshal's grief was made the sharper since his fellow-marshal of an adjoining State had likewise furnished a carriage for Field when he held court within his district, and the charge had been allowed and paid. Commonly little attention is given to these cries of the wronged beyond what is required to shunt them upon a "proper" official—usually the one against whom complaint is lodged. But in this instance Harrison asked his secretary to discover the truth of the trouble. Why was one charge allowed and the other refused? The secretary took a look into the riddle and learned that the fortunate one had been sagacious enough to include the carriage for Field in his item of expense "For care and transportation of prisoners." In that way it was allowed. It used to give Harrison much pleasure to relate this yarn; Field, however, saw nothing funny in it.

As time goes on the consumers of fruit in large quantities, which are mainly found in large cities, are becoming educated to quality. The time has gone when they are deceived by appearance. The writer has seen many consumers go to stores for apples and taste several varieties before buying. In this way they learn to fight shy of such fine-looking fruit as the Ben Davis apple, which is so devoid of quality. Then there is a decided increase in the consumption of baked apples in restaurants and hotels, hence the owners of these places have learned to buy those varieties that have good quality rather than good appearance, and, as a rule, are quite willing to pay for what they want. Growers of fruit should take this lesson home and make up their minds that in future the consumer must be catered to if fruit is to be sold at a fair margin of profit. The question of grades must also have attention, for these city consumers who are willing to pay for quality want that quality in size and perfection of fruit as well as in the flavor. There is a market for second and third grades as well as the first grade, but they must be distinctly separated to bring the best returns for each.—Indianapolis News. Attachment for Team Harness. There are but very few of the articles used by our great-grandfathers which still retain their old form, with little change or improvement, but among this number may be counted the harness which is used on horses for hauling purposes. Practically the same pattern of harness has been used for many years past, while other things introduced with it have been altered beyond recognition or displaced altogether. That there was still a chance for improvement is shown by the picture here represented, illustrating a change in the construction of a heavy team harness, which will at least add to the comfort of the animal. The principal advantage of this arrangement is that it does away with the strap passing around the animal's body, which of necessity interfered AFTORDS FREE MOVEMENT. somewhat with the muscular exertion and added to the discomfort in hot weather. In this improvement a short curved strap is laid over the back, being held in place by a strap passing from the breeching to the collar, and only coming into play when the animals are backing. The traces are entirely free of the harness from collar to whiffletree, and afford a chance for a straight pull, without interference from any other portion of the harness. Frederick L. Ainsworth of Turner, Kansas, is the inventor. Deep Plowing. Much of the advice in favor of deep plowing is out of place on hill farms with the topsoil only six to eight inches deep. Plowing which brings much subsoil to the top is not desirable. But there are many fields with good depths of rich, dark loam that have never been properly worked. Such lands need never be called worn out until thorough plowing and harrowing again has enabled the plant roots to get at some of the locked-up fertility in the bottom layers. Simply to bring up the lower soil and then to turn it down again the following season is not needed so much as to thoroughly twist and fine the soil, exposing it to air and sun. For potatoes and root crops deep plowing is desirable, also to loosen the soil for root and tuber growth.—American Cultivator. Some Insect Pests. Dust asparagus beetles with lime or spray with paris green or hellebore. Stop the apple-tree borer by applying paris green in whitewash to the trunks and large limbs. For common fruit and leaf-eating insects keep the foliage covered with bordeaux and paris green mixture. Paris green will kill currant worms, cabbage worms, striped beetle, celery and tomato worm, etc., but hellebore is a little safer to use (one ounce in two gallons water). For cabbage and turnip fly dust with ashes. Tree and plant lice are killed by tobacco water or insect powder.—Exchange. New Way to Make Butter. L. H. Williams, vice president of the Akron (O.) Cold Distilling Company, claims to be the discoverer of a method of making butter without first removing the cream. He does not go into details, but says: "The discovery is not one of mere chance, but is the result of a year's hard work. I was given the insight from our cold distilling process and have spent much time and study on it. I have tested the machine before several prominent capitalists of the city and they are now back of me. We will build a plant and put the product on the market."—Creamery Journal. Plan of Cattle Barn. Eastman Bros., of Illinois, in the Breeder's Gazette, describe the plan of a cattle barn which they have used for several years. The barn is 96 feet by 48 feet. It is a pole bain with posts 20 feet high, and a corncrib 80 by 12 feet runs through the center of the barn. The lower boards of the crib are hinged and feed boxes built on level with the crib bottom so as to make practically a self-feeder, especially when feeding shelled corn. Hogs sleep under the corncrib. Hayracks on the sides are eighty feet long. Hay is put in at the ends of the barn. Sliding doors, controlled by weights, are used at the ends of the mow. They are closed when the hay is in the mow. There are doors along side of the haymow. When filling the mow we leave a space of four feet between the hay and the sides of the barn, which enables us to throw hay into the racks when feeding. The south end is open. The north end has doors which we close in bad weather. We have lots on the north, south and east of the barn and scales east of ```markdown ``` THE EASTMAN BARN. the barn, so we can weigh cattle any time. This barn will easily accommodate 100 cattle. We are now feeding 101 head, ninety-seven of which are Herefordsi. This kind of a barn is a great time and labor saver. We keep it well bedded and it is always dry. Feeding Soft Corn. Feeders who tried finishing cattle on soft corn reported very unsatisfactory results. But the Iowa experiment station recently marketed some cattle fed on soft carn alongside others fed on sound corn of the 1901 crop, and the results were decidedly favorable to the former feed. At the prices for soft and sound corn prevailing when the cattle were put on feed the advantage was with the lower priced corn. And the steers fed on it outdressed by a small margin those fed on sound corn. The difference in killing, however, is not greater than might occur in any two lots of cattle. Either the feeders have been wrong in their estimate of the value of soft corn or the Iowa station's experience is exceptional. Probably difference in the quality of the corn may account for it, as some feeders include in their definition of "soft" corn the light, chaffy, imma ture stuff of comparatively low feeding value.Stockman and Farmer. How He Keeps the Dogs Off. How He Keeps the Dogs Off, "I have for several years used a preventive for sheep killing by dogs that has never failed to work," said G. J. Robertson, a Loudoun County, Va. farmer, to a man at the Arlington. "Farmers raising sheep are annoyed to a large extent by prowling dogs getting into their flocks and killing off many of the animals, to say nothing of running the flesh off the others. Until I devised the system I now practice I spent many sleepless nights watching for the prowlers, but without success. The nights I failed to watch I generally lost a sheep or a lamb. Finally I got some powdered cloves and put it in little bags, which I hung around the neck of each sheep. The dogs made one try for the sheep after the bags were put on, but since that time they have let my sheep severely alone. A small quantity of powdered cloves each year saves me many a dollar, I can tell you."—Washington Star. Silage and Stover. Where it is desirable to somewhat husband the silage and get best results from cut stover the latter in more relished if mixed with the quantity of silage to be fed and allowed to lie covered with sacks or blankets from one feeding time until another. If not to be used in connection with silage, if mixed with cut hay in quantity sufficient for several days' feeding and well moistened with water and kept covered, or if treated so with out being mixed with hay or other material, the cows will eat more and with much less waste than if fed dry National Stockman. Poultry in the South. The South seems to be coming toward the front as a poultry section. In Georgia during the year 1900 there were 4,549,144 chickens over three months old, 103,416 turkeys, 208,997 geese and 64,895 ducks, all valued at $1,458,055; the eggs produced were valued at $1,615,538 and numbered 15,505,330 dozen. Alabama, although a smaller State, produced 18,778,980 dozen eggs, which were valued at $1,825,978 during the same year. Uniform Eggs for Hatching. Don't try to hatch eggs from different classes of fowls at the same time. Hens' eggs and ducks' eggs, for instance, do not go well together. Neither do eggs from different classes, such as Leghorns and Plymouth Rocks. As a rule, dark-shelled eggs go well together, no matter what the breeds, and the same is true of white-shelled eggs HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT Boiled Icing. Put a pound of granulated sugar in a porcelain-lined saucepan; pour upon it a teacupful of cold water, stir and put over the fire. Boil without stirring for fifteen minutes, then test by dipping a fork gently into the syrup. When a fine, hair-like thread floats from the tip of the fork remove the syrup from the fire and when bloodworm beat it to a cream. When too stiff to beat work it with the hands to a smooth paste. When ready to use set the vessel containing the icing in an outer vessel of scalding water, and as the icing softens beat in flavoring to taste and spread upon the cake with a knife dipped in hot water. Mushroom Ketchup. Break the mushrooms into pieces, place in a large pan, and add a quarter of a pound of salt to every three pounds and a half of mushrooms. Let stand for two days, then drain off all the juice that you can procure by pressure. Boll the liquor slowly for an hour with two ounces of salt, a few cloves, long pepper, and a quarter of an ounce of peppercorns. This quantity should be allowed to every quart of liquid. Then strain, and, when cold, bottle, adding a few drops of brandy. Use new corks and seal carefully. Devil'a Food. Half a cup of chocolate, grated; half a cup of sweet milk; half a cup of brown sugar. Boil these together until as thick as cream and let the mixture cool. Cream a half-cup of butter with a cup of brown sugar, add two beaten eggs, two-thirds of a cup of milk, and vanilla flavoring. Mix well, then stir in the boiled mixture, add two cups of flour sifted well, with a heaping taespoonful of baking powder. Bake in layers and, when done, put together with boiled frosting. Strawberries Scalloped. Equal quantities of fresh strawberries and bakers' stale bread grated. Begin with a layer of the berries, sprinkle well with sugar, then a layer of breadcrumbs, dot with bits of butter, then another layer of fruit and sugar; finish with breadcrumbs and butter, sprinkle a little sugar over the top and bake half an hour in a good oven. Serve hot with cream. Currants and raspberries, either separately or mixed, and blackberries also make excellent puddings. To Clean Rugs at Home. Buy a cake of carpet soap, take a piece of clean flannel, some tepid water and several dry dusters. Lay the rug on a big table or a boarded floor. Soap the flannel with the carpet soap and rub the surface, then wipe off the soap, and rub dry with the dusters. Do only a portion at once, for if left wet the colors will run. If plenty of elbow grease be used and not much water, the effect on either rugs or carpets is splendid. Canned Strawberries Hull and weigh the berries and to each pound of fruit allow a half pound of granulated sugar. Put the fruit and sugar in layers in the kettle and stand in the warm kitchen for an hour, then bring slowly to the boil. A little alum should be added to the sugar before cooking, but this must be done carefully. As soon as a good boil is reached skim and can, filling the cans to overflowing, then sealing. Apple Compote. Make a syrup of one cup of sugar, and half a cupful of water. Flavor with a piece of cinnamon, and the thin rind of half a lemon. Pare and core the apples (sour ones cook quicker than sweet) then drop carefully in the hot syrup to harden the outer surface. Cover closely and cook very slowly until soft. Serve on rounds of toast with whipped sweetened cream, filling the center of the apples. Mashed Potatoe. As soon as they are boiled mash at once, as smoothly as possible, adding a little salt and butter, and sweet cream or milk, by way of seasoning; then beat up lightly with a fork and put in a warm, uncovered vegetable dish. Do not pack the potatoes down unless you intend to serve as by the following recipe, which is one often seen on pretentious menus. Raw Rhinbarb Canned. Wash the rhubarb, cut the stalks into pieces a quarter of an inch long and pack into perfectly clean jars. Fill full to overflowing with cold water, running it in from the faucet for some minutes, that all air may be expelled, then screw on the tops under the water and stand the jars upside down in a cool, dark place. Caramel Pudding. Four eggs, one quart of milk, one cup of sugar. Put one quart of milk in a double boiler and add three eggs well beaten. Put the sugar in a frying pan and stir constantly until melted; do not add any water. Then pour it into the milk and eggs. If wanted thicker, add a little cornstarch.—Good Housekeeping. Cheese Custard. Line a large pie plate with plain pastry and fill with a custard made in the following way: Rub two cakes of cottage cheese through a potato press, add two beaten eggs, a dash of grated nutmeg and a tablespoonful of flour.

Get thee out of the slou Sap =S0 SS" of despair, out of the valley wh: THE IDEAL LIFE. dwell the narrow and the evil mind By Rey. Joseph Silverman. | 22d stand on the heights of the id a. NING MIX., Ld. There are times when we who have lived constantly in the valleys become dissatisfied with our surroundings, with the commonplace scenery, the narrow horizon and contracted vision, and look with envious eyes to the few who have succeeded in climbing to the mountain top. Then, under some sud- den spell, we summon up courage, gather our feeble strength, and at- tempt to climb the steep and rugged ascent. And when at last, after many trials and failures, we reach the sum- mit we are fully: rewarded for our ex- ertions by the giorious sight before us and by the exhilaration of the upper air. ‘Those in the valley can see only a small part of the world’s wonders— here a field, a garden; there a cavern, a river, or lake. Upon the mountain top the sublime and awe inspiring prospect of the world’s wonderful de- sign, beauty, méajesty, and power bursts full upon the eye. From be- low we saw only a few peaks; from above hundreds of peaks come into yiew, hundreds of smaller mountains, separated’ by undulations of green for- ests or by silver threads of limpid wa- ters. From below we had a limited outlook, saw only our own confined surroundings—2 few peasants, villag- ers, or conceited townspeople; beheld only petty affairs of mundane life, which seemed of such paramount im- portance to the denizens of the valley. From the heights we have, compara- tively speaking, an almost unlimited horizon and can see at a glance many cities and villages, and in the distance hills and valleys, rivers and lakes, and beyond the mighty ocean embracing all things. From above all great cities seem but as toy villages, men and women as tiny miniatures, and our seemingly vast enterprises as the block houses of children at play. Standing there on the mountain top, in the very presence of the Lord. as it were, upon the throne of creation, we seem to realize a sense of our greater selves and our larger possibilities, and to feel that the’ people and the things we have left below are but the chrysa- lis from which we have escaped; that the world in the valley is but the step- ping stone to the higher world above. There are luminous hours in our lives when the soul yearns to eman- cipate itself from the limitations un- der which it was born and has con- tinued to exist, and seeks to rise to some higher estate of manhood or womanhood. We have at times vis- jons of men and women who have risen to spiritual heights which we aspire to reach. They seem to live on the mountain tops of life and enjoy a greater and broader view of human affairs. They are men of unusual wis- dom, profound reason, of uncompro- mising convictions; men who stand on the vantage ground of truth, who love righteousness, execute justice, and walk humbly before their God; broad gauge men, full of sympathy and love for humanity; wholesouled men and women who can smile benignly and speak graciously, yet wisely; philan- thropists, lovers of mankind, who tem- per justice with mercy, judgment with charity, and who, like divinity, are pa- tient, long suffering, and abundant in kindness and mercy. In our better moments we seek to stand upon such a lofty plane. Our ordinary lives seem commonplace, “stale, flat, and unprofitable.” We go constantly through the same routine of eating and drinking, sleeping and waking. The great masses seem like thousands and millions and myriads of molecules and organized cells that contribute to the mechanism of the universe. We seem often to be only us the small teeth on the cog wheels of human and cosmic life, rotating upon one another to move some other set of wheels, and thus transmit pow- er, vitality, and growth to an infinite number of revolving wheels. Now and then some of us rebel against a cruel, at least an undesirable, fate or destiny. We aspire to some higher existence than that of the beast; we want to be something more than merely a part of a cog wheel; we have an ambition to be a power that moves the wheel, to be a conscious and active directing force, not a mere passive piece of mechanism. We wish to be not the clay that Is molded but the potter who designs and executes the plan. In our better hours we reach out to such an ideal life that is far above our ma- terial, worldly existence, with its con- stant round of toil and care, coupled with only a modicum of pleasure. It is such an {ideal that reconciles us to the most bitter disappointments. It is the buoy that keeps us afloat in the tempestuous sea of life until some un- expected help comes to our rescue. The man without an ideal is lost in tune as a result of the deceit and in- gratitude of selfish and treacherous friends. At such a time the words “Go forth and stand on the mountain top before the Lord” appeal to us with a wonder- ful force. Get thee out of the slough of despair, out of the valley where dwell the narrow and the evil minded, and stand on the heights of the ideal life, with the great and the good, be- fore the Lord. This ideal fortifies the soul, brushes aside the brooding care, drives away the lowering clouds, and sends a ray of sunshine into our dark surroundings. We begin to feel that what we have lost is not all of life, there are still health, happiness and fortune in store for us; that the sea is never drained; that new friends can be made in place of the old; that all truth and justice, all appreciation and sympathy are not destroyed; that new love can grow even from the grave of a dead affection. The ideal gives new zest to life, a new halo to our sur- roundings. It spells new opportunity and undying hope. RECOGNITION HEREAFIER. 'By Rev. H. M. Barbo it is 1 Myself.—St. Luke, xxiv., part of 39. THe above words suggest the sub- ject of our recognition of departed loyed ones in the world to come. This subject is of interest at all times, and touches well nigh every one. Hardly any there are but haye buried their dead; hardly any but have shut off from the daily activities of their souls a consecrated void; hardly any but at times are earnestly asking: “Shall we see these dear absent ones again, and will there be some bond of recognition between us?” Perhaps, however, the strongest of the indirect teachings of the Bible on this point is to be found in those num- berless similitudes which describe our state, here and hereafter, as one of association. The kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea and inclosing a great multitude of fishes. It is like a supper furnished with guests. It is a fellowship, a commu- nion, a family, a household. Surely, knit together by such ties, the mem- bers of that kingdom must know each other, But we are not left to mere infer- ences and implications. The Bible as- serts directly the doctrine of mutual recognition hereafter. “Many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the knigdom of God.” Of course, there would be no significance in this statement if the patriarchs are not to be known as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Again: “Ye shall see Abraham, Isaac and Ja- cob, and all the prophets in the king- dom of God.” Says St. Paul to the Thessalonians: “What is our hope er joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?” Again he says to them: “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him.” And once more: “I would not bave you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not as others who have no hope.” The hope refer- red to here is obviously that of meet- ing again. Many more allusions of like character might be drawn from the Epistles of St. Paul. But it will suffice us to turn from them now and to consider only the further state- ment of our text. And were that state- ment alone it would be enough, for it tells us that the glorified body of our Lord was recognized, and he was our first fruits, and as he rose so shall we rise. There was, indeed. about him an unearthly luster, but the wounds were yet visible, the same eyes looked out upon the apostles, the same lips spoke to them, the same hands blessed them, albeit a wondrous glory illumined all. There was that about him which dazzled and bewildered. Not at first did Mary and his dis- ciples know him. While they sought the gardener or would go a-fishing or walked sorrowful and hopeless by the wayside their eyes were darkened; but when they turned their spiriual gaze upon him then they knew him. Then Mary said, “Rabboni;” then St. John cried, “It is the Lord;” then doubting Thomas believed; then repentant Peter sank at his feet. In like manner it shall be with us and ours. We shall be changed. For corruption there shall be incorruption; for weakness, power; for dishonor, glory; for the natural, the spiritual body. And mayhap, too, the unseen struggles and sufferings of the past shall be registered upon our faces, and thus our real characters express themselves; the things which were hid- den come abroad, and the good deeds Gone in secret be forever rewarded openly. But our fdentity, our appear- ance, our immortal individuality shall wet remain and we be known to each other by many infallible proofs. Abra- ham shall remain Abraham, Daniel) shall still be Daniel, the Good Shep- herd. shall still call his sheep by name, and they wko have met in this life shall meet again in that. An Isaac shall rejoin Rebecca, a David shall go to the child who could not come to him, a Mary and a Martha shall greet their brother, and the tears of a Rachel weeping for her children shall be wiped away. Blessed sre the joy-makers.—Willis THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC opengl aint ‘SHORT, IMPRESSIVE TEMPER. ANCE SERMONS. Dangers that Lurk in the Flowing Bowl—How Bright and Influential Men Have Been Dragged Down by the Demon Drink—Suppress the Traffic. There is a popular belief that the ad- dition of spirits to water will have the effect of killing the germs con- tained therein. The whisky or other spirit that is added is assumed to ster- ilize the water and make it germ free. It does nothing of the kind. Some or- ganisms, and certainly their spores, will live in a solution of water and al- cohol containing at least 75 per cent of the latter. The common alccholic strength of whisky is about 40 per cent, and of ruin not more than 50 per cent. Even supposing, therefore, that the spirits are consumed “neat,” no se- curity from germ life would be abso- lutely gained. It is quite certain that certain microbes can live and thrive in the ordinary mixtures of whisky and water. Bacteriological examina- tion has shown that most germs are not affected by a liquid containing 22 per cent of alcohol. Alcoholic drinks, therefore, cannot be regarded as ef- fective destroyers of microbe life. Where the spirit is mixed with min- eral or aerated waters there is another factor with which the germs and their spores have to deal, namely: the car- bonic acid gas with which such waters are impregnated. There is no doubt that carbonie acid gas dissolved under pressure in water has a marked anti- septic action, and such waters have oc- casioually been found to be sterile. The action of carbonic acid gas on the germs and their spores is very slow, and there are some, like the highly re sistant anthrax bacillus, which are not affected by it. It would be rash to place confidence in either aleohel or carbonie acid gas as safeguards against pathogenic organisms or to re- gard whisky and water as safer than | piain water.—Temperance Record. How to Save the Roy. A banker in Allegan County, Michi- gan, three or four years ago voted to license the saloons, and they were brought back into the county. A few weeks ago ex-Senator Humphrey was at a hotel in Allegan, and, looking out, he saw the banker walking back and forth in front of the hotel barroom, and looking in when anyone opened the door. The Senator went out and spoke to the banker. The banker said: “Senator, I am un- easy about my boy. Do you think he may be in the saloon; did you see anything of him?’ “Yes, I saw him in the back room of the saloon playing cards and drink- ing.” replied Senator Humphrey. The father seemed specchless for a moment, and then from a heart full of distress cried out: “Oh, God! how shall I save my boy from ruin?” “You have a grave problem to solve.” “I would give half I am worth to destroy every saloon in the county,” said the banker. “Ah! It seems cruel to remind you of it now, but you should have come to that conclusion when we wanted you to join us in the fight to keep them out of the county. Now they have your boy, and I do not know what you can do. May God help you.” | Why should not the father expect ‘his boy to fall in with what he in- ‘dorsed? Parents! think of that, and vote to outlaw the saloon.—State Is- sue. 1,500,000 Paupers Through Drink.

Aver- aging the results obtained, it appears that the number of persons now being supported in these ins{itutions who were brought to poverty by indulgence in intoxicating liquors is more than one-half of the whole number. If the same ratio applies in all the alms- houses of the United States, it is esti- mated that about one million and a half persons have been thrown on pub- lic support by the liquor traffic. Temperance Notes. a According to the report of the Phil- ippine Commission, 1,990 places were licensed for the sale of intoxicating drinks last year in Manila. Five hundred boys at the St. Mary's Industrial School promised Cardinal Gibbons lately that they would not touch liquor until they were 21 years of age. The anti-cigaret measure introduced by Mrs. Coulter in the Utah Legisla- ture, which provides a fine of $5 or five days’ imprisonment for any person un- der 18 years of age who has in his possession any cigaret, cigar, tobacco or opium, has been signed by the Goy- ernor and is now a law. Dr. Ciouston, in the last report of the Royal Edinburgh Asylum, says, “The cause of insanity for the past year which stood the highest in the list was intemperance from drink. Twenty-eight per cent of ali admissions were due to alcohol. It is a sad and discouraging prospect that this most preventable cause of disease should continue to increase.” ‘A Cook County grand jury has voted 121 indictments against saloonkeepers and cigar dealers for running slot ma- chines. .A Chicago lawyer says he has been employed by a number of busi- ness men to keep up the fight until the avil is -rooted out, because they are tired of having their clerks and em- ployes victimized by these gambling levices. | ¥2 | ESS eM Ss Why Suffer from Disease? s 8 Robinson’s Alfalfa-Nutrient Positively cures Rheumatism, Locomotor-Ataxia, all Stomach, Liver and Kidney Troubles and all Nerve and Blood Dis- eases.

PETITION FOR $15,000. Livestock Interests Ask for Share of Fair Appropriation. RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED Madison, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—At least $15,000 of the $100,000 appropriation made by the Legislature for the world's fair in St. Louis next year will be asked for by the live stock interests of the state. The State Live Stock Breeders' association through its executive committee adopted a resolution to that effect yesterday. A committee composed of Walter L. Houser, representing the horse breeders; C. D. Ross, representing the breeders of beef cattle; C. L. Hill, representing the breeders of dairy cattle; Senator George Wylie of the swine breeders, and F. W. Harding, representing the breeders of sheep was appointed. President George McKerrow of Sussex, Secretary of State Houser of Mondovi, Secretary John M. True of Baraboo, Prof. W. L. Carlyle of Madison were present at the meeting. The resolutions adopted were as follows: Whereas, the live stock interests of Wisconsin represent at least 48 per cent. of all the agricultural interests of the state, and Whereas, the agricultural interests represent at least 38 per cent. of all the interests of the state, and Whereas, there have been two large expositions in the past to which liberal state appropriations have been made, and Whereas, the live stock interests of the state have never before been recognized in the expenditure of these appropriations, and Whereas, the present appropriation was made and received the support of the live stock interests in the Legislature with the express understanding that the breeders of livestock should be liberally dealt with in the apportionment of the appropriation in proportion with the importance of this industry in our state; therefore be it Resolved, by the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders' association, that we respectfully request of the state of Wisconsin board of managers of the St. Louis world's fair at least $15,000 of the $100,000 appropriated to be used in encouraging and securing a representative exhibit of live stock from Wisconsin for the coming fair. TERRIFIC WIND SWEEPS VILLAGE. New Richmond, Wis., Subjected to Severe Storm—Hotel Blown from Foundation and Crops Injured. New Richmond, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—Another heavy rainstorm, accompanied by a terrific wind, swept over this city this morning. The Citil hotel, which has been raised and is undergoing extensive remodeling, was blown from its temporary foundation and considerably damaged. The injury to crops is extensive and much damage was done to trees. Telephone communication is cut off in all directions, and the city is also shut off from service of electric power, all of which comes from Somerset, eight miles west, on Apple river. Beloit, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]— Lightning struck the barn on the Morgan stock farm this morning, causing a loss of $2000. Thirty sheep perished. ALLEGED BLACKMAILER Jesse C. Ewing Charged with Trying to Extort Money from Wealthy Menasha Manufacturer. Appleton, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]— Jesse C. Ewing of Appleton was arrested here on a charge of attempted blackmail, the complainant being S. Elmer Smith of the Menasha Wooden Ware company and the Menasha Paper company, Menasha. It is alleged that Ewing became possessed of some letters written by Mr. Smith and demanded a large sum of money for their return. A meeting was arranged in this city, at which were present Pinkerton detectives, employed by Mr. Smith, and also the sheriff of Outagamie county, who arrested Ewing and secured possession of the alleged letters. Ewing is held in $500 bond for hearing July 16. SHEBOYGAN CRIB DOWN. City Water Company Discovers That Stone Underneath Intake Has Been Carried Away. Sheboygan, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—The City Water company has discovered that the storms which hit its crib very hard, have caused all the stone in the crib to be carried away, and is now preparing to build a new crib which will be 28x12 feet in size, large enough, it is presumed, to prevent the swaying of the intake pipe in the water as has been the case on frequent occasions, endangering the supply of water, since the pipe might easily have been snapped by the force of the sea and the swell. ICE CREAM IS POISONED. About Forty Grand Rapids People Suf fer from Eating Frozen Dainty— Some Cases Serious. Grand Rapids, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—About forty persons were poisoned by eating ice cream yesterday. A ten gallon freezer seems to have contained the poison. Some of the cases are serious. Those who suffered severely were: F. S. Moddy and two sons, Sidney and John Gradlys, Mildred and Helen Mickleson, Miss Flora Compton, Ray Dudley, Mrs. L. Schlatterer and sons, Fred and Bernidetta. RACINE MAN EXAMINED Lyman Martin, Arrested on Serious Charge, Gives Bond. Racine, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—Lyman Martin, an engineer on the North-Western railroad, who with three other men was arrested last week on a most serious charge, was given a preliminary examination before a court commissioner this morning, and was bound over for trial to the next term of the municipal court, his bonds being fixed at the sum of $2000, which he furnished. This afternoon James D. Brown will be given his preliminary examination. He was arrested on the same charge as that of Martin. BELOIT TAILOR DISAPPEARS. Peter Kreutzer Mysteriously Drops from Sight—Probably Insane. Beloit, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—Peter Kreutzer, a tailor with a family of twelve, has disappeared mysteriously. He has probably become insane. ARCHBISHOP BETTER. Katzer Hopes to Return to His Work Fond du Lac, Wis., July 9.—[Special.] —Archbishop F. X. Katzer of the Milwaukee diocese is now said to be feeling the best in health he has since coming to this city several months ago. The quiet at the St. Agnes sanitarium is apparently having the desired effect and unless the unexpected should happen the hopes that his eminence will some day resume his charge at Milwaukee will be gratified. Rev. Father Kersten, who is the bishop's personal attendant, strictly enforces the physician's orders that Archbishop Katzer shall see no one. Since there was a very perceptible decline in his physical organization, not a visitor has been permitted to enter his presence and he is not even disposed to make any effort at a mental strain. Through absolute tranquillity and by no other method, it is believed, can his health be restored. Reads Accounts of the Pope. "The bishop reads with great interest all the accounts concerning the Pope," said Rev. Kersten, in answer to a question today. "He does not express his feelings; at least, he has not done so in my presence. To the telegrams and letters which come to him he pays absolutely no attention. The physicians will not permit it. He talks to me readily but I would not strain him by asking him to converse. He unites in the opinion that Pope Leo is a wonderful man, but we realize, too, that he cannot live on forever." Archbishop Katzer goes daily to the Convent of St. Agnes and says his mass in the chapel. In the afternoon he generally drives out with the attending priest, but not even the others, whose duties are about the institution, engage him in conversation. SUICIDE OF WEALTHY JANESVILLE MAN. Brother of Gen. G. H. Randall, U. S. A., Kills Himself with Borrowed Revolver. Janesville, Wis., July 9.—Charles Randall, a brother of Gen. George H. Randall, U. S. A., was found dead in his bed today with a bullet hole in his head. He was very wealthy and lived alone on the outskirts of the city. He committed suicide. Randall was a tobacco raiser, 47 years of age, and for several years had lived alone in a large house of the Randall homestead. His tobacco plants had been unsuccessful and his health poor, with the result that his nervousness had become extreme. His brother, Gen. Randall, is now stationed at the head of the department of Colorado at Vancouver barracks. Randall used a revolver borrowed from a neighbor on the pretext that he wished to kill a cat. Two Wisconsin Regiments Will Hold Reunion at Madison on the Anniversary of That Battle. Madison, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—The Twelfth and the Sixteenth Wisconsin regiments of the Civil war will hold a joint reunion at the capitol on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 21 and 22, the thirty-ninth anniversary of the battle of Atlanta, in which the two regiments took part. Addresses of welcome will be given by Gov. La Follette and Mayor Groves. There will be a big campfire meeting, and Gen. George E. Bryant, president of the Twelfth Regiment association, will give an address on "The Battle of Atlanta," and Rev. Dr. Bolton will speak on "The Victors, the Boys in Blue." D. G. James of the Sixteenth, who was taken prisoner at Atlanta, will speak on "Being a Guest of the Johnies." WINKEL IS ARRESTED Young Man Residing Near Arcadia Is Charged with Brutal Murder. Trempealeau, Wis., July 9.—[Special.] —Max Winkel, a young man residing near Arcadia, was arrested today charged with the murder of James Campbell, which, it is said, occurred on Campbell's farm near Arcadia last May. Campbell's body was found at the edge of a creek not far from his home. The railroad passed his house and the section men saw him every morning when they passed his home on their way to work. One morning they noticed the door open in the house, but didn't see anybody around. The next day the men searched the place and found the body of the murdered man. A shotgun, some cartridges and an old spade covered with blood and hair were found lying near him. Detectives have been working on the case ever since the crime was committed. Winkle is now in the county jail at Whitehall. SUCCEEDS JUDGE LYON. Andrew G. Nelson Is Elected President of the State Board of Control. Madison, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—Andrew G. Nelson was elected president of the state board of control today, to succeed Judge William P. Lyon, who this morning resigned as president, though he retains his membership for a few days. Herman Grotophorst of Baraboo, the Democratic member of the board, was chosen to succeed Mr. Nelson as vice president. Resolutions of regret for the loss of President Lyon were adopted. SAVED A WOMAN'S LIFE. Fire Discovered in La Crosse Home by George Hall, Who Rescues Miss Anna Thompson. La Crosse, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—George Hall discovered the home of Miss Anna Thompson on fire early this morning and carried Miss Thompson from the burning building, saving her life. The flames had not awakened her and the smoke had deadened her senses. ARREST TWO ALLEGED FORGERS. Portage Police Arrest Men Accused of Swindling. Portage, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—Two alleged forgers are under arrest here. By means of a forged check a stranger got a $3 meal ticket and $9 in cash at Robinson's restaurant. The stranger was arrested. The other man arrested gave his name as F. Hughes and canvassed this city for insurance business last week. He defrauded several people out of small amounts by means of bogus policies. He was turned over to the Marinette authorities, at which place he is wanted. COL. E. B. GRAY IS DEAD. Deceased Was an Officer of the Fourth and Twenty-eighth Regiment of Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Wis., July 8.—[Special.]—Col. Edmund B. Gray, one of the most widely known figures in Wisconsin military and G. A. R. circles, died this morning at 9:45 o'clock of paresis at the residence of his son, M. B. Gray, 861 Sawyer street, Chicago, Ill. Col. Gray was a native of Vermont and was born in that state about 79 years ago. Educator and Soldier. He was carefully educated at the University of Vermont, and up to the time that he entered the service of the United States army was engaged in educational work. He was at one time assistant su- [Name not visible] COL. E. B. GRAY. perintendent of education of the state of Illinois, and was employed as principal of high schools at Racine, Sheboygan and other places. At the breaking out of the war he was principal of the high school in Sheboygan Wis. He left that work to become captain of Co. C. Fourth Wisconsin infantry, on April 23, 1861, to rank from April 25. He served with that regiment until appointed major of the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin infantry, on August 30, 1862. He was lieutenant colonel of the same regiment, with rank from May 29, 1863, and was appointed colonel of the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin, March 16, 1864, and was mustered out of service August 23, 1865, making his home at Whitewater, Wis. Col. Gray participated in all the battles of the Fourth Wisconsin infantry, up to the time of his promotion to the office of major in the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin, which was at the time of its organization, and in all the battles of the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin infantry up to the time of its muster out. Held in Regard by Soldiers. Col. Gray was a man greatly beloved by his soldiers and served as president of the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin infantry association up to the time of his death, having been elected to that office for the ensuing year a week ago last Tuesday. After the war Col. Gray's chief object in life was the organizing and perfecting of the Grand Army of the Republic, to which aim he devoted himself. He was adjutant general of the G. A. R. under Gen. Lucius Fairchild, in 1886, and was the adjutant of Commander in Chief A. G. Weissert in 1892 and 1893, and was assistant adjutant general of Department Commander Weissert in 1888 and 1889 and most of the time since that date, down to 1902. He was department commander of Wisconsin in 1897 and 1898. "Probably no man in Wisconsin was personally acquainted with more soldiers than was Col. Gray," said Wade Richardson this morning. "He devoted himself to the building up of the order and kept in touch with the soldiers who were all absolutely devoted to him. He was a man who was greatly beloved." Was Going to San Francisco. "Col. Gray was a man wholly without political aspirations of any sort," said A. G. Weissert. "His whole life was bound up in the G. A. R. He had planned to visit the encampment at California this year, but his failing health compelled him to abandon the idea. He had been suffering for over a year from a general breaking down in strength. His death will bring sorrow to hundreds of soldier hearts, and all who knew him and especially those who served under him, will feel that they have lost a valued friend." Admired by Dr. Carlson. Dr. Carlson served in Col. Gray's regiment from 1862 to 1865, and knew and loved him well. "Col. Gray was the best and only field officer who remained with his regiment throughout the war," said Dr. Carlson. "He was much beloved by every member of the regiment. He was companionable with all the soldiers. The best tribute that can be paid him is the memory of his kindness, his geniality, his generosity towards his men. "He never was a strict disciplinarian," continued Dr. Carlson, "and over-looked little things that a stricter officer would have called his men to account for. I remember a foraging expedition that we made when the regiment was encamped at Pine Bluff, Ark. We were under strict orders not to shoot, and we were sent out to a certain farm to get corn for the horses. Colonel Looked the Other Way. "But when we visited that farm we found some of the most tempting little shoats running around—half-grown pigs," explained the doctor in an aside to a supposedly city-bred reporter. "The shoats were too strong a temptation, and a number of them were smuggled in under the corn. When we returned with the load the colonel ordered the corporal in charge of the load to unload it at his barn, and went to his quarters, very close by, for his supper. We dallied around, fussing with the harness and unhitching the mules, and puttering about, hoping that he would get out of the way so we could dispose of the shoats. Several times he called out for us to hurry up, and finally the corporal, a little bit of a fellow, said: 'Now, colonel, if you will just ride away for some distance, you'll see that we'll get that corn in the barn double-quick, and there'll be a nice ham hanging in your larder.' The colonel looked at him sharply for a minute, and then rode away on his big gray horse—a magnificent figure. No mention was ever made of the shoats by the colonel.' GASOLINE STARTS FIRE. Explosion of a Tank at Fond du Lac Causes Burning of Three Buildings. Fond du Lac, Wis., July 8.—[Special.] The explosion of a gasoline tank caused a fire last night which consumed one of the important building blocks in this city. The explosion occurred about midnight, and was followed by a terrific shock. It was followed by an outburst of flames, and the Anderson building, between First and Second streets, occupied by the Palace bowling alley, in which the gasoline was stored, was entirely destroyed. The firemen responded promptly and soon had the flames under control, although they were leaping to considerable height when the firemen arrived. The Anderson building is a total loss and is covered by $1000 insurance. It will probably be superceded by a brick structure. The three buildings damaged were all frame and were many years old. The saloon building on the corner of Second and Main streets, owned by Mike Kalt, was damaged principally by water, through the upper story, occupied by Irs. Mohr, a dressmaker, was completely burned out. The next building was occupied by C. H. Hintz, who took possession of the saloon July 1. The damage there is not covered by insurance and neither is the second story which was also entirely consumed. The Allen restaurant, four buildings from the corner, was protected by a brick wall and was not damaged. The insurance on the Anderson building was the only protection on any of the property. CONGRESSMEN WILL INSPECT THE CAMP. Sub-Committee on Military Affairs to Consider Site for Instruction of Regular Soldiers. La Crosse, Wis., July 8.—[Special.]—Congressman John J. Esch of this city has announced the completion of all arrangements for the visit to Fort Snelling and Camp Douglas of the congressional subcommittee of the committee on military affairs. The party will leave Chicago on a special train the morning of July 15, visiting Camp Douglass first, in the afternoon. The committee will inspect the grounds there with a view of selecting the place as one of the sites for the instruction of regular soldiers and the National guard. On July 16, the party will visit Fort Snelling to consider the matter of appropriating $600,000 for fort improvements. In the party, as given out by Congressman Esch, will be: Congressmen J. A. T. Hull, Iowa; George W. Prince, Illinois; Fred C. Stevens, Minnesota; Robert F. Broussard, Louisiana; A. B. Capron, Rhode Island; and from Wisconsin will be H. C. Adams, J. W. Babcock, Theobald Otjen, W. H. Stafford, Charles Weisse, John T. Jenkins, John J. Esch. Senator J. V. Quarles and Col. Henry Casson of the House of Representatives will also be in the party. THIEVES NEAR MADISON. Team Stolen at Dane and Safe Broken at Paoli—Thought to Be the Work of Gang. Madison, Wis., July 8.—[Special.]—Sheriff McWatty had an unsuccessful chase yesterday. Charles Miller of Dane rented his team to a man who gave the name of M. Pugh, the latter saying he desired to drive to the farm of a neighbor. The team was not returned and Miller followed Pugh to find that he did not appear at the neighbor's house, but it appears ran away with the team. A reward of $25 has been offered for the return of the team. The safe of Theodore Miller of Paoli was blown open with nitro-glycerine. The burglar secured only $1. Miller had deposited over $200 in the bank at Madison the day before the robbery. A saloon keeper of Paoli also had taken from the safe $50 which he had there. The team was stolen Tuesday night and the safe was blown early Wednesday morning. The three men are thought to be together hiding in the woods near Paoli. DID NOT USE CARE. Coroner's Jury Blames Owner of Auto for Death of Oshkosh Man Oshkosh, Wis., July 8.—[Special.]—The coroner's jury rendered their verdict yesterday afternoon in the following language: "Alfred A. Tuttle came to his death July 3, 1903, in Oshkosh, in the county of Winnebago, state of Wisconsin, by being knocked down and run over by an automobile driven by H. H. Muggley, said Muggley not using care and caution. We, the jury, deem that said Muggley was careless and was running said machine faster than safety required." The automobile belonged to and was driven by Dr. Henry H. Muggley, president of the National Automobile company of Milwaukee, formerly of Oshkosh. It was while going across a street that Mr. Tuttle was run over. Dr. Muggley testified that in his opinion, the machine was running at about four or five miles an hour. Postmaster E. M. Crane, who was riding in the auto at the time of the accident, corroborated Dr. Muggley. AGED BRIDGE MAN BREAKS HIS NECK.

For Torturing, Disfiguring Skin Humours Cuticura Ointment is beyond question the most successful curative for torturing, disfiguring humours of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever compounded, in proof of which a single anointing preceded by a hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed in the severer cases, by a dose of Cuticura Resolvent, is often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humours, permit rest and sleep, and point to a speedy cure when all other remedies fall. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and children, cleansing, soothing and healing the most distressing of infantile humours, and preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp and hair. Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the same time, the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the toilet, in caring for the skin, scalp, hair, hands and feet, from infancy to age, far more effectually, agreeably and economically than the most expensive of toilet emollients. Its "Instant relief for skin-tortured babies," or "Sanative, antiseptic cleansing," or "One-night treatment of the hands or feet," or "Single treatment of the hair," or "Use after athletics," cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each in connection with the use of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence of this.

Diseases of MEN I have treated with unusual success, diseases peculiar to men. A record of 50 years of experience and thousands of cures attest to the value of my treatment. DR. F. S. McNAMARA, M. D., 580 Broadway. Milwaukee, Wis. (Est. 1861) I have treated with unusual success, diseases peculiar to men. A record of 50 years of experience and thousands of cures attest to the value of my treatment. DR. F. S. MCNAMARA, M. D., 580 Broadway Milwaukee, Wis. (Est. 1801, WELL-DRESSED MEN. More Rational Attention Being Given to Appearance. Older men of the city note with gratification the better dressing and general air of gentility carried by this generation than was common with that of twenty years ago. These sartorial accuracies are not the signs that betoken a fresh epidemic of dudism. They do not portend an area of fresh Beau Brummels, Beau Nashes and Berry Walls. They do not mean that an old adage has been changed to read: "Clothes make a man and want of them a fellow." On the contrary, they indicated that there is a wholesome revival of that personal care for one's appearance that reveals the man as neither a sloven or a sloth. Perhaps the advent of "clothing made to measure" at custom trade prices and, even more, the facilities of the "pressing clubs" have been most responsible for this commendable pride of apparel. But whatever is the honorable reason for it needs to be encouraged and applauded. The days of the "old codger" who thought it a signal of independence to go around in public in an unvested and collarless shirt are passed. To put on any old thing in any old way and call one's self "dressed," even for ordinary business intercourse, is to become a person apart from the crowd called gentlemen and to announce one's self as a crank. It used to be the other way. The man who dressed in accordance with the best modes of the day was called "a dude" and "a dandy." Those were terms of common reproach hurled at any one who dared to be neat, clean and clothed as the most perfect form God himself could make There is physical, hygenic value in good dressing. Put a slouch in a soldier's uniform and he transforms himself with erect carriage, head erect and a quick step that altogether makes his mother doubt his identity. And in the really elegant mode for men of the present day there is dignity given to one's carriage and distinction imparted to his personality. Certainly, a man may yet make a guy of himself by loud and outre self-decoration, but we are commending the quiet, genteel, fashionable dresser, and he deserves it.—Atlanta Constitution. For Aged People. Bellflower, Mo., July 6.—Mr. G. V. Bohrer of this place has written an open letter to the old men and women of the country, advising them to use Dodd's Kidney Pills as a remedy for those forms of Kidney Trouble so common among the aged. Mr. Bohrer says: "I suffered myself for years with my Kidneys and urinary organs. I was obliged to get up as many as seven or eight times during the night. "I tried many things with no success, till I saw one of Dodd's Almanacs and read of what Dodd's Kidney Pills were doing for old people. "I bought two boxes from our druggist and began to use them at once. In a very short time I was well. This is over a year ago, and my trouble has not returned, so that I know my cure was a good, genuine, permanent one. "I believe Dodd's Kidney Pills are a splendid medicine for old people or anyone suffering with Kidney and urinary troubles, for although I am 84 years of age, they have made me well." Tricks in the West. One is totally unable to conceive how it is that greenhorns continue to give up their money every day to nothing better than the lock trick or the freight receipt gag. It is not merely that these bunko devices are hoary with age and should seemingly be as familiar as common speech, but that they had not merit when they were new. Even granting that the victim never heard of them before, why should he be deceived? Why should he bet that he can open a lock? Why should he lend money on a check or bill of lading when presented by a man he never saw before? Why should any human being get upon terms of such confidence with strangers whom he has picked up on the streets or in the saloons? The infinite and perpetual gullibility of man is the greatest wonder of the world.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Try It Free—Pav Only if It Helps.

Hidden Forever Senator Stewart of Nevada tells a story of Mark Twain's youthful days as a reporter in Carson City. It was his duty one evening to report a meeting of the city council, whose president was a ponderous statesman given to sounding words and intellectual confusion. A motion was made to expunge from the records a certain matter which the presiding officer was extremely anxious should not become part of local history. The motion, having been seconded, was eagerly passed. "The matter has been ordered ex- punged," declared the presiding councilman gravely, "and the clerk will proceed—to expunge. It should be effectively wiped out, obliterated and totally destroyed." He paused to notice the effect of his sentence of annihilation. "Where, gentlemen," he asked, "will you have the expunged matter deposited and placed?" Mark Twain caught the attention of the councilman nearest him. "Let the expunged matter be worn under the chairman's hat," he suggested; "no one would ever think of looking there for anything." Creations in Dainty Lace That Come Very High. A deep shoulder collar of point lace, which the buyer in one of the best shops in town says should be a museum piece, is a revelation to lace lovers. It is wonderfully fine and made in a varied pattern that is beautiful—clusters of daisies forming the principal design in the lace, with here and there forget-me-nots and lilies of the valley. Some of the finest of the work is in the conventional designs. The lace is snow tacked to a piece of pale blue flannel, which brings out the design as well as the creamy old tint. It was a wedding gift from her father-in-law to the woman who now is selling it, and the history of its manufacture is a tragedy. This is one of the Woman's exchange's treasures with a history. It is priced at $550. A little point applique square shoulder shawl, which is $35, has a pedigree which takes it back to the days of Marie Antoinette, whose property it is said to have been. It is a simple but beautiful little shawl, the applique now falling from it in places from age. A large shawl, three yards square, of Brussels point, has an unusual medallion edge. This is $650. A simpler but very pretty thing, soft and creamy, is a shawl or veil of hand-run Limerick lace, which has been worn in one family of Irish gentlefolk for three generations for a bridal veil. This is two yards square, with a border and small figures in the center. Another beautiful and quaint old thing not to be found nowadays is a long embroidered India mull scarf. This is five yards long, wide in proportion, and costs $100. An old embroidered muslin gown with a history might puzzle the athletic girl of today to get into. It is made in the Empire style, the skirt with its beautiful embroidered edge scarcely two yards around, and the waist not much more than two inches deep. It would hardly pass the censors in these days. This is the gown which tradition says was worn by an old-time belle at the inauguration ball of one of our Presidents who previously had asked her to be mistress of the white house or whatever mansion he might be able to provide and she had refused. A point applique half or three-cornered shawl is $250. Vehy beautiful is a long large scarf, almost a shawl, of silk blonde. This has a striking flower design around the edges and a silver sheen which gives it the effect almost of spun metal. Beautiful old handkerchiefs range in price from $25 to $100. One with heavy embroidery and lace is $90. Point lace barbs, which are again worn, cost from $10 to $25. An exquisite black Maltese lace shawl, something not always to be found, is large and costs $350. Black Crantilly shawls and capes cost from $50 to $350. Very old-fashioned is a square double shoulder collar, which does not come to the front. This is embroidered on net and costs $30. A deep point applique fichu costs $100. Another lace neckpiece, narrow at the back and with broad pieces for the front, is $40. A large Duchess lace collar costs $40. A piece of point lace, which is curious in these days, when women do not grow old, is an old lady's cap, made in one piece, the flat top square and tabs hanging down over each ear. This is $35. A point lace collar and wristpieces, the latter made in circular bands without a seam and with perhaps nearly a half yard of lace in each, cost $50. To get back to modern things, one of those new little flat embroidered linen hats is to be found in white with forget-me-nots in pale blue. The deep colored linen hats worked with poppies in red have been improved. They can be laundered without being taken apart, but the work is simpler if the crown is adjustable. One of the hats has been made with the crown to button to the rim like a child's hat, with small linen covered buttons. There being a little more work in this, it costs $6. The blue and white hat costs $4.—New York Times. Woman's Happiest Day "What, in your opinion, is the happiest day in a woman's life?" A brief silence fell upon the group of girls gathered in Amy's studio. "The day she sails for Europe for the first time," said the girl who likes to travel. "The day her baby first lisps 'mother,'" ventured the young matron. "Every day when her husband comes home from business," contributed the bride. "The day the weather man can tell her a week ahead that it won't rain when she is to give a reception," said the society girl. "The day she receives a letter from the publisher saying her first book is accepted," voted the scribbler of the party. "The day the man she loves asks her to be his wife," said the dreamy-eyed girl, mechanically twisting a ring on her finger. "The day she doesn't have to attend a club meeting," remarked the tired-looking club woman.—Philadelphia Telegraph. All Off. "How much do you love me?" "I love you," exclaimed the young and ardent admirer, "as much as J. P. Morgan is worth! Nay, I will add to this the United States sub-treasury." "That is not enough," she observed coldly. He did not despair. "I love you," he continued. "as much as Hetty Green's millions added to those of Russell Sage. Nay, as much as Carnegie and Schwab combined." But she shook her head. She was playing for larger stakes. Her lover, however, did not despair. "I love you much more than all these," he continued. "I love as much as the Chemical bank and the Standard Oil. What do you say to that?" Then it was her turn to look pleasant. "Do you," she observed carelessly, as if it were the easiest thing in the world, "love me as much as the Emperor of Germany thinks of himself?" And her lover murmured abjectedly, "Alas, you ask the impossible!"—Life. Many unique and interesting things can be found in the high mountains that surround the Yellowstone National park, but it is doubtful if anything more odd or interesting can be found than the little railroad that connects the towns of Horr and Aldrich, Mont. While this road was built by the Montana Coal and Iron company as an adjunct to its business, it has exceeded the original intentions of its projectors and is now a regular passenger and freight road and has been facetiously named the Rocky Mountain Limited. The road is narrow gauge and the motive power is both cable and electricity. The cable that operates the first section of the road is 4000 feet in length and in some places it pulls the funny little car up a 43 per cent. grade, across trestles that it shakes one's nerves to look at, and into a little power house, the Dew Drop inn, that looks like a red speck on the top of the mountain. From the inn to Aldrich, the end of the line, the road changes into an electric trolley and the workmen and tourists who patronize it enjoy riding upon the funniest little trolley car ever built.—Leslie's Weekly. Prohibition in North Carolina "North Carolina is fast getting to be a prohibition state," said G. C. Hinkley of Charlott. "On the 1st of July, by a new state law, no liquor distillery can be operated and no liquor sold outside an incorporated town. This breaks up the small stills now running in the rural districts, and which, by collusion with the federal officials, make a lot of illicit whisky. Most of the moonshine stuff produced in North Carolina is really made in registered distilleries, the storekeepers and gaugers certifying only to a limited part of the true output and sharing in the profits of the balance with the rascally distiller. Under the new law, also, any town can vote to prohibit the sale of whisky, and in a little while we shall see but few places left where the alcoholic traffic is allowed to exist."—Washington Post.

Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability, bordering upon hysteria? Are your spirits easily affected so that one minute you laugh, and the next fall into convulsive weeping? Do you feel something like a ball rising in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound; pain in the ovaries, and especially between the shoulders; sometimes loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia, and almost continually cross and snappy, with a tendency to cry at the least provocation? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Undoubtedly you do not know it, but in nine cases out of ten this is caused by some uterine disorder, and the nerves centering in and about the organs which make you a woman influence your entire nervous system. Something must be done at once to restore their natural condition or you will be prostrated for weeks and months perhaps, and suffer untold misery. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for this purpose than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; thousands and thousands of women have written us so. How Mrs. Holland, of Philadelphia, suffered among the finest physicians in the country, none of whom could help her—finally cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—For over two years I was a constant sufferer from extreme nervousness, indigestion, and dizziness. Menstruation was irregular, had backache and a feeling of great lassitude and weakness. I was so bad that I was not able to do my own work or go far in the street. I could not sleep nights. "I tried several splendid doctors, but they gave me no relief. After taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I soon began to feel better, and was able to go out and not feel as if I would fall at every step. I continued to take the medicine until cured. "I cannot say enough in behalf of Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine, and heartily recommend all suffering women to try it and find the relief I did."—Mrs. FLORENCE HOLLAND; 622 S. Clifton St., Philadelphia, Pa. (Jan. 6, 1902.) Another case of severe female trouble cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after the doctors had failed. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I was in poor health for several years. I had female trouble and was not able to do my housework alone. I felt tired, very nervous, and could not sleep. I doctored with several doctors. They doctored me for my stomach, but did not relieve me. I read in your book about your medicine, and thought I would try it. I did so, and am now cured and able to do my work alone, and feel good. I was always very poor, but now weigh one hundred and fifty pounds. "I thank you for the relief I have obtained, and I hope that every woman troubled with female weakness will give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. I have recommended it to many of my friends." — Mrs. Maria Bowers, Millersville, Ohio. (Aug. 15, 1901.) Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince all of the virtues of this medicine? How shall the fact that it will help them be made plain? Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, and sick, and discouraged, exhausted with each day's work. You have some derangement of the feminine organism, and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help you just as surely as it has others. The minimum rainfall at which trees will grow is 20 inches. The reason you can get this trial free is because they cure Kidney Ills and will prove it to you. WEST BRANCH, MICH.—Doon's Kidney Pills hit the case, which was an unusual desire to urinate—had to get up five or six times of a night. I think diabetes was well under way, the feet and ankles swelled. There was an intense pain in the back, the heat of which would feel like putting one's hand up to a lamp chimney. I have used the free trial and two full boxes of Doon's Pills with the satisfaction of feeling that I am cured. They are the remedy par excellence." B. F. BALLARD.

How the Boys of Both Armies Whiled Away Life in Camp-Foraging Experiences, Tiresome Marches-Thrilling Scenes on the Battlefield. "Some of us," said the Captain, "have been looking for twenty years for men who played a very unusual part in the fight at the bloody angle at Spottsylvania on the 12th of May, 1864. After Hancock's corps had captured the first line of Lee's works at the salient, and after the Sixth Corps, under Wright, had plunged into the fight, there were several pieces of artillery left near the angle, which were put in action again by infantrymen from different regiments. Up to May 15 we of the Army of the Potomac had not been able to locate more than one of these men. "Eight or ten guns were captured by Hancock's men in the first charge early on the morning of May 12. When the rebels attempted to recapture the works at the angle some of these guns were drawn out and turned on the charging enemy. Later, two guns of Battery C. Fifth United States Artillery, were ordered close up to the angle by General Wright himself. The guns went as ordered, but the staff officer guiding them was shot before they reached the designated position, and in a few minutes all the horses had been shot, seven of the twenty-three men had been killed and sixteen wounded. "Then, of course, the guns were abandoned. Ten years ago the only survivors of that squad were Lieutenant Metcalf and Sergeant William E. Lines. To show the character of the rifle fire poured on the men manning the guns it may be said that in the time given to firing nine rounds, twenty-seven bullets passed through the lid of the limber chest and thirty-nine bullets through the sponge bucket of the right gun. In spite of the fact that no men could live in a such a fire, officers of a Vermont regiment and of the Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania ran to the assistance of Lieutenant Metcalf and Sergeant Lines, but these fell before the guns were abondoned. "Later, men of the Fifth Wisconsin and other regiments manned these guns and some of those captured that morning. Until very recently Judge J. C. Anderson, of Manitowoc, who served in the Fifth Wisconsin at Spotsylvania, believed he was the sole survivor of this second gun squad. In relating his experience at the reunion of his regiment last year, he told how, as the last load was rammed home, John Lehn, of Company E, sank down wounded. Then as Anderson went toward the other guns manned by infantrymen, seeking ammunition, something struck him that put him out of action. But he remembers that two of the captured guns were blazing away at the enemy. He stated that he had repeatedly made inquiries for the men serving those guns, but could learn nothing of them, and his conclusion was that all were dead. "All of the boys who saw service in the Army of the Potomac became interested in pushing the inquiry, and I was boasting that it was no common man who could brave such a deadly fire, when my friend Samuel D. Murray, who lives out on Oakley avenue, said quietly: 'It wasn't such a great thing. I manned one of those guns myself, and others of my regiment, the Third Michigan, were with me. At that time Second Corps men of a dozen regiments and Sixth Corps men of several regiments were fighting together. Organizations had been broken up, and men of different companies left without officers were doing the best they could. Some of us loaded up the guns and blazed away as long as we had ammunition. My partner, toward the last, was in doubt whether we had rammed home a load or not, and, to make the thing sure, we put in another and let her go. "The gun, double-shotted, turned a somersault and went splashing into the mortar-like mud between us and the enemy. That put us out of action, but some of the other guns were fired after that. I remember well just how that gun looked as it went like a live thing into the mud, and I remember it more clearly because about that time an officer rode to where the boys were huddled close to the breastworks and ordered them to scale them. The men, suspecting that he was drunk, paid little attention to him, but one fellow asked why he didn't try it himself. "Thereupon the officer spurred his horse up the steep incline into the very faces of the rebs. As soon as he reached an elevation that brought him in range of the riflemen crouching on the other side, his horse was struck and rolled with his rider into the mud at the bottom, floundering and throwing mud over the men firing at the rebels. One of the boys turned his rifle on the wounded horse and others pulled the rider out of the mud, as miserable a looking creature as I ever saw. He went to the rear crestfallen, and I have often wondered who he was and what became of him. "This," continued the Captain, "bears out all that I have said about old soldiers placing a modest estimate on their own services in battle. That struggle at the bloody angle at Spotsylvania, extending over twenty-four hours, was the nearest approach to a hand-to-hand battle that we had during the war. Trees, nearly two feet in diameter, located in the zone of fire were cut down by rifle balls. Union soldiers shot on top of the works fought for, fell within the rebel lines, and Confederates fell on the Union side. One man was shot through arm and body by a ramrod. It was a furious fight, and yet Mr. Murray, who worked at one of the guns in that fight, is not boasting of the part he played. Having found Murray, I would like to find the officer who rode a horse to the top of the breastworks. Drunk or sober, he was a fellow worth knowing,"—Chicago Inter Ocean. James Cheney was a student of Oberlin College when Lincoln issued his first call for troops, and the meetinghouse one Sunday morning became headquarters for enlistments. The recruiting officers refused to accept Cheney, as the company was more than full, and he, a minor, was unable to obtain the consent of his distant father. A few days later, however, a telegram from Cleveland, where the company had gone into camp, announced two vacancies, and Cheney, who was at the station at the time, boarded the train, enlisted and went to the front. The ninety days were soon gone, but the war was not ended, and Cheney re-enlisted, but this time with a regiment from his own State of Illinois. In this new regiment he was made a lieutenant. To him, in his new command, his little sister sent a pocket Bible, and in the front she placed her photograph to show how she had grown since he left home for college. The young officer loved his sister, and loved his Bible, and daily he read the pages of the little red book. It was at Fort Donelson that the captain of the company fell, and Lieutenant Cheney rallied the company, and pressed on with it to victory. His new commission, promoting him to the office of captain, bore in red ink upon its face the inscription, "For Gallant Conduct and Meritorious Service at the Battle of Fort Donelson." But in the little Bible the inscription still read, "J. W. Cheney, First Lieut. 47th I. V." Then came the Battle of Pittsburg Landing, with the sudden onset of the Confederates, and Captain Cheney hastily committed his effects to a boy in the regiment and hurried with his company to the front. All that long Sunday the 47th Illinois fought face to face with a Zouave regiment from Louisiana, and the two moved forward and back till night. The surgeons were busy enough that terrible day, but Doctor Langworthy of the Louisiana regiment found time before he lay down in his tent to read a few verses from a little red Bible which a private had captured, and later, coming to the hospital, had given him. Doctor Langworthy kept the Bible till the close of the war, reading it frequently, and often wondering who had been its owner, and who was the little girl whose face looked at him when he opened the book. Many years after the war Doctor Langworthy went north to Buffalo, to attend a medical convention, and took with him the Bible. At Buffalo he met his brother, who had been a Union officer from Ohio, and was then living in rural New York. To him he gave the Bible, charging him to find the owner if possible. The brother gave the facts to the editor of his county paper, and the editor printed them in a brief item. A copy of the paper in some way went to a family in Ohio who were not subscribers, and was used to paper the pantry shelf in a farmhouse; and when the housewife took it off the shelf to replace it with a clean one, her eye struck the name Cheney, and she read the item, for Cheney was the name of an army friend of her husband. So it came about that the item from the county paper found its way to Captain Cheney, and the Bible was returned to him, still clean and whole, and showing the result of constant care. The correspondence that followed between the surgeon in Louisiana and the captain in Illinois showed how the hearts of both men had been drawn near together by the little red book. Forty-one years from the day when Lientenant Cheney led his company over the mud walls of Fort Donelson, the old soldier, then lying sick, drew forth and showed to a friend the little book that he had "loved long since and lost a while." The photograph of the little girl, still living, is yet on the fly-leaf, and inside the cover is pasted the clipping from the county paper; and within the other cover is the letter of the Confederate surgeon, telling how he kept and read the little book when the other flag flew over it. "Thank God, the war is over," said the surgeon, "and we are brothers again!" Taken for Granted. "Charlie Blue tells me he has broken off with Nell McClincher." "The idea! Nell says she never knew that she and Charlie were engaged." "Charlie doesn't say they were engaged. But, of course, you know it amounts to the same thing when a girl is as old as Nell and a fellow like Charlie is her only possible chance."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Evidence of the Fact. "My husband," said Mrs. Nippy to the company, "is easy to manage. I can talk him into anything." Mr. Nippy lifted his weary gaze to the marriage certificate over the piano. "Yes," he sighed.—Newark Evening News. In a trial at Atlanta the fact was elicited that at one drug store in that city more than 3,000 prescriptions for cocaine had been filled within two months.
