Washigton, Jan. 10. A statement pre pared at the navy department shows the enormous cost of maintaining certain types of vessels in active service. Xearly J!),(jOO,000 was required last year for the pay of officers, seamen, stores, coal and repairs for vessels carried on the naval register. Of this sum the bureaus of construction and steam engineering ex pended a .Jargre part. To maintain the flagship New York in commission for 12 months cost the government just $391, 0S3. while the triple-screw flyers Columbia and Minneapolis cost respectively $263,267 and $293,445. Of the battleship class the In diana was the most costly vessel, with $323,695 paid out for her maintenance. while the Masachusetts, attached to the same Etation, required $230,435 to keep her In service, and the Oregon on the Pacific station $2.S6,515. The fast armored cruiser Olympia, flagship of the Asiatic fleet, cost (the nation for one year $3Ct.S9. The flag ship San Francisco of the European sta tion cost S242.S45, while the Philadelphia Cost $297,577. The second class battleships Maine and Texas were less expensive to maintain In service and required expendi tures of only f2tO,00O each. 1 The official yacht Dolphin cost $134,00. ,The pay of the officers and crew of the flagship New York alone amounted to $237,000; that of the Olympia. $200,000, and that of the Minneapolis $201,001). The triple screw cruisers, next to the New York, were found the most expensive to keep In service. HONEY OVERMAN Is Declared to Be the Basis of Secretary Gage's Faith In SV. J.

CfeaCraefleli Bgalt Co., AtlaaU, Ga. OLD Br AU. onuaaisTS. Chicago. Jan. 10. Illinois Democracy Jjid tribute to the memory of Andrew Jackson and greeted William J. Bryan as the patron saint of the party, at a banquet given in the Tremont House Saturday evening. Jackson, patriot and partisan, was eulogized by many speakers, including the eloquent Bryan. Mr. Bryan spoke in part as follows: "It is especially fitting that at this time the American people shall recall the name of Andrew Jackson and gath er inspiration and encouragement from his public career. We are engaged to day in a contest very similar to that in which he played so conspicuous and honorable a part. During his term of office the national banks attempted to overawe the representatives of the people and control the government. He grappled with it and overthrew it. Ar rayed against him were the very class es which forced a continuance of the gold standard in the United States in spite of the almost unanimous protest of the people, the same classes which are now trying to coerce the .govern ment into the surrender of the sover eign right to control the money of the country. "'It seems that every generation pre sents a combatant between the produc er of wealth and the money changers. The latter, conducting their campaign in secrecy, fasten themselves upon the body politic and prey upon industry until their hold is broken by an awak ened and indignant public. "The present secretary of the treasury Mr. Gage, is eminently fitted to be the instrument of the financiers in their efforts to complete the scheme com menced 24 years ago and continued without interruption until the present day. He possesses a sublime faith in the superiority of money over man and a supreme contempt for the rights, the interests and the opinions of the people at large. He knows that the gold stand ard was adopted in the United States without any party ever asking for it; he knows that for 23 years after its adoption no party ever dared to com mend it; he knows that in the cam paign of lSiM the party composed of bolting Democrats was the only party which dared to declare the gold stand ard a blessing; he knows that at the polls 99 per cent of the voters register ed their opposition to a single gold standard.differing only as to the means of securing bimetallism; he knows that the president, to whose partiality he owes his position, sent a commission to Europe to beg other nations to help us get rid of the gold standard; he knows that the senate and house with scarce ly a dissenting voice appropriated $100, 000 of the people's money to pay the ex penses of the commission while it was seeking relief from the gold standard; he knows that France, by joining in the demand for international bimetal lism, condemned the gold standard; he knows that the farmers, the laborers, and to a large extent, the manufac turers of England, desire international bimetallism; he knows that the main tenance of the gold standard means unmerited advantage to the money owning and the bond-holding classes is undeserved punishment to the vast majority of the people of this country and of the civilized world. "And yet, in spite of his knowledge of all these facts, he is deliberately planning to fasten the gold standard permanently upon the people of the United States. Not content with ad vocating a policy which places the des tinies of 70,000,000 of freemen in the hands of foreign financiers, and permits a few London bankers to control our standard money, he now proposes to give to the national banks full and complete control of the paper money of the nation. "In November, 1S96, 6,500,000 electors voted against the retirement of the greenbacks, and 7,000,000 supported a platform which -was silent upon the subject. The Republican candidate for president, in his letter of acceptance, pledged the Republican party to keep in circulation (and as good as gold) all the silver and paper moneys now in cluded in the currency of the country, while only one party advocated the re tirement of the greenbacks, and that party polled less than 1 per cent of the total vote. Mr. Gage knows these facts, and yet, in spite of that knowledge, he is seeking to organize a money trust more dangerous, not only to the indus tries, but to the liberties of the people, than all the other trusts combined. At such a time, and under such circum stances, the memory of the hero of New Orleans ought to be invoked in every state, county and hamlet to arouse the people to a sense of their danger. "Twelve months have elapsed since we celebrated this day a year ago, and every month has borne witness to the failure of Republican policies to bring relief to the people. Just after the passage of the Dingley bill our oppo nents were boisterous in their annouee ment that prosperity has returned. The Republicans were given full swing. They framed just such a law as their hearts desired and their brains devised, and what is the result? Read the daily papers, and you will find the items of news arranged under two heads the formation of trusts and the reduction of wages. "A few days ago I picked up a copy of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and found under the innocent and unpre tentious headlines: 'Weavers and Spin ners,' seven notices of wage reductions from four of the six New England states one of them from Lewiston.Me.. the home of Mr. Dingley, the father of the Dingley bill. This one reads as fol lows: The agents of all the cotton mills in Lewiston and Auburn ceived directions to make a gen eral reduction in wages on and after January 17. Notices con forming with these instructions have been posted. The reduc tion of wages includes the Lew iston Bleachery and Dye works. "Is this the result which they prom ised would follow, 'the opening of the mills instead of the mints?" If our ene mies boast that they have buried bi metallism we point to these wage re ductions as the weeping willows which have sprung up about its temporary tomb. "Why is not some court asked to en join the employers from uniting to gether to reduce wages? Can eombi nations among employers be innocent if co-operation among miners Is a crime? In most of the factories can be found transparencies and banners promising good times. The mill owners would probably dispute the right of a court of equity to interfere and plead as a defense that the operatives have an ad equate remedy in the ballot. "A few days ago an association of mill owners tried to justify a reduction of wages by laying the blame upon the laws passed in Massachusetts for the protection of operatives. Their com plaint is significant because it empha sizes the reactionary tendency of pres ent conditions. If this 'grinding pro cess' continues the laboring classes will lose all of the advantages which they have gained in the last quarter of a century. Instead of shorter hours for adults and more education for children we shall be asked to lengthen the hours of labor and .to dwarf the intellects as well as the Todies of the children by manual labor during the years when they should be in school. How many pledges will be required to soften the heart of our financial Pharaoh? Does he not know that now as of old 'bricks without straw' but presage the coming of the day of deliverance? "Prescott tells us that the Aztecs were in the habit of offering up human victims to secure the favor of their gods. Our opponents some time speak in disparaging or" those who inhabit the land of the Aztecs, but let it be re membered that the huge sacrificial stone that once surrounded the great Teocali in the capitol of the Montezu ir.as, now harmless and unused, forms one of the most interesting exhibits in the Mexican natural museum, while in the United States fresh victims in ev er Increasing numbers are being immo lated on the altr erected in honor of the gold standard. "Since the last celebration of Jack son day thousands of political prodi gals have returned to the old home, and thousands more are growing weary of the husks. The reception of those who have returned has depended upon the spirit which has animated the prod igal. Those who have come back ac knowledging the binding force of the Chicago platform, and willing to work harmoniously side by side with the brethren who went not astray, have been taken into full fellowship and their wanderings forgiven. But those who have swaggered back, boasting of their intention to remodel the house and revolutionize the methods of agri culture have found neither fatted calf nor banquet hall. "There is no humiliation in the ac knowledgment of error. To a large portion of our people the money ques tion was a new question in 1896 and as we demanded affirmative action, the timid and only half convinced arrayed themselves against us. Since the elec tion there has been time for further study, and events in rapid succession have been vindicating the position ta ken by the bimetallic forces in the last campaign. The republicans, too, in toxicated by success have been dis closing schemes which were carefully concealed during the contest. We may. therefore, expect continuous accessions to our ranks. "I cannot close without impressing upon your minds the necessity of ex tending and perfecting the work of the clubs, which are necessary to supple ment the work of the party organiza tion. We must have clubs in every pre cinct. Through them we can keep our forces in fighting condition, collect cam paign funds and protect the ballot box from fraud and corruption. I have so much confidence in the earnestness and intelligence of those who are enlisted under the banner of independent bimet allism that I am sure all things need ful will be done. I therefore bid you be of good cheer, unless all political omens fail the twentieth century will open with the money of the constitu tion restored and the motto: 'Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," the controlling principle in the departments of the government. Then will our people sing a new song of a nation redeemed." TENDONS CUT OUT From Ex-Mayor Grace's Thigh to Relieve Lameness. New York, Jan. 10. Ex-Mayor William R. Grace is recovering from a surgical operation at his home. No. 31 East Seventy-ninth street, where he has been con fined for three weeks. Mr. Grace has suffered for years from recurring attacks of illness, which left him so lame that he finally became almost unable to walk. Gradually the attacks have grown in in tensity and duration, although between them Mr. Grace was able to walk as well as ever. Dr. Edward L. Keyes decided at last that an operation was necessary. Mr. Grace was put under the influence of anaesthetics. Then Dr. Keyes and his assistants laid open the upper part of Mr. Grace's right thigh. Two inches of one of the tendons was cut out. Mr. Grace rallied from the shock and he has continued to gain ever since. M'KINLEY CHOOSES ONE. Makes One Official Selection to Suit Himself. Washington, Jan. 10. Ex-Representative Mark S.

Mr. Brewer is a personal selec tion of the president. lie was a colleague of Major McKinley when the latter was a member of the house, and he was an original McKinley advocate in Michigan. He was a delegate-at-large at the Sf. Louis convention, having been chosen on a McKinley and gold standard platform- HER HAIR ABLAZE. St. Louis Girl's Celluloid Combs Ig nite From a Grate Fire.

Miss Bernice Cheatham, a 17-year-old girl, who resides at No. 1204 Goodfellow avenue, was sitting in front of a grate fire today with her head in her hands, when suddenly she felt sharp pains in her head. Putting her hand to hair, she found It aflame. Screaming with pain, she ran into the next flat, where Mr. Mabry smother ed the fire. A doctor was sent for and found her scalp severely burned from ear to ear. The heat from the fire had Ignited two celluloid side-combs which she wore. -To-iiii-- for Fifty Centa.

Number of Employes is Usually Two Hundred. iiem Pittsburg, Jan. 10. An explosion of dust in shaft No. 5 of the Mount Car mel Coal company's mines, one and a half miles south of Chicopee, Saturday evening, is believed to have resulted in the death of at least five men. The bodies of these men are still in the shaft. Two men escaped. They, however could give no account of their fellow workmen. The dead are: JIM SIMMERMAN, JOHN BOSSING, ANTON WEIMBERGER, ANTON GERWITZ, CASPER BARTOLIO. These men were foreigners, some of them Germans, and others Italians. The rescuing party has after-damp to contend with, as well as great mass es of slate and other debris to remove before progress can be made Into the in terior of the mine. The loss to the com pany in wreckage and destruction to the interior of the mine will be very heavy. No. 5 is the largest shaft the Mount Carmel Coal company is work ing this winter, .and on the day shift employ nearly 200 miners. No accu rate explanation of the affair can yet be obtained, but old miners believe it w-as caused by an inexperienced shot firer, and that the dust in the mine ig nited and caused the explosion. The explosion was heard distinctly by many people in the city and a bright light was seen for a few minutes in the direction of Chicopee, five miles south of Pittsburgh At 7 o'clock the first car from Chicopee on the suburban electric car line arrived and" spread the news that a mine explosion had oc curred in Chicopee and forty miners were killed. Great excitement at once ensued and a. repetition of the terrible Frontenac disaster which occurred six years ago was apprehended. Physicians and surgeons, sent by the Mount Carmel Coal company,, left on the first car for Chicopee. At 7:20 o'clock the car arrived at Chicopee, where the greatest confusion prevailed. In the streets there were groups of women and children crying, for the re port that the entire force of men on the night shift were in the ruins and were lost, had spread through the town and had not yet been found to be false. Arrived at the shaft a scene of wild disorder greeted the eye. Pieces of roofing and broken timbers were strewn for several yards about the shaft, yet the greater part of the shaft was still standing. After the explosion men were on hand at once to set the fans at work and to extinguish the fire that started in the superstructure of the shaft. The black smith shop just south of the shaft was completely wrecked. The explosion oc curred at what is known as shot-firing time, and as far "as can be learned but seven or eight men were in the shaft. Five of these were shot-firers and the others were drivers. Had the explosion occurred 30 min utes later, the entire night shift of 30 or 40 men would have been caught. About 20 minutes after the explosion two men escaped from the shaft by climbing up the buntins of the shaft. They immediately left the scene of the wreckage for their homes and could give no account of the accident, ex cept that they were in the mule stables when the explosion occurred, and as soon as they could, made for the bot tom of the shaft and climbed out. These men were Robert Boyd of Pitts burg and Joseph Sherard of Chico pee. At 12:30 the rescuing party in search of the miners came across the body of Joe Setar in a room about 300 feet away from the bottom of the shaft. His face and arms were horribly burned, and he was just barely alive, being ex hausted from attempts made to find his way out. He reported that there were four men yet in the mine. RESCUED WHITE GIRL. BETTER TEA IMPORTED. She Had Been Their Captive Since the Custer Massacre. Sioux Falls, S. D-, Jan. 10. Superin tendent Sherrard arrived home today from the Cheyenne reservation with a 25-year-old white girl, who has been a prisoner among the Indians ever since Sitting Bull's massacre of General Cus ter and the Seventh regiment in the Little Big Horn, in Montana The girl has grown up among the In dians and knows nothing of her par ents. An unusually friendly Indian called the attention of the whites to the girl, who was kept in the interior, away from the agency people, and this led to her rescue. She is a bright, dark curly-haired woman, and when seen today could speak, only a few words of English. She distinctly remembers her parents, and a search is being made to discover their identity. From Indian sources it is learned that, after the massacre of Custer, Sitting Bull and his tribe of 2,000 Indians moved north into British America, and that several ranchmen and their families were killed by them. It is believed that the girl, who, for some unknown reason, was called Anna Russell, was the child of one of these ranchmen. She will be provided with a home in some good family as soon as possible.

Washington, Jan. 10. We are getting better tea from Japan and China in con sequence of the regulations established by this country to prevent the importation of impure and unwholesome tea. Consul Abercrombie at Nagasaki, Japan, reports to the state department that the Formosan teas have been much freer from dust and broken leaf than usual. This was especially noticeable during the early part of the season and before the wire sieve received from America was distributed around to the several Chinese native firms for use in sifting Formosa tea, the native firms realizing that they were quite safe in adding another pound or two of dust or broken leaf, as it would not pass through the sieves. For years the foreign firms in Formosa have en deavored to improve the standard by forcing the Chinese to lower the percent age of dust, and, while sometimes meeting with success, such was not at all perma nent, consequently the step that has been taken by the United States government only sustains and officially authorizes that which exporters have endeavored to obtain privately. DONNELLY'S SON OBJECTS. Engagement to Young Typewriter Meets "With Opposition. St. Paul, Jan. 10. The children of Igna tius Donnelly are greatly perturbed over the engagement of their father to Marion Hanson, the Norwegian typewriter and stenographer. One of his sons, a leading physician here, said today: "We shall never recognize Miss Hanson as a member of our family. She is a good stenographer, no doubt, but scarcely a fit wife for such a man as my father. She has neither education, social stand ing nor the years necessary to make her a congenial companion to him. She re fused his first offer oh the ground that she did not love him, but has since ac cepted him for the reason. I think, that she wishes to help her father and mother, who are very poor and who live in a very humble way. "We have often thought it would be wise for our father to marry," continued Dr. Donnelly, "but such a selection as he has made in a girl of 20 is not particularly pleasing to us, and we have already told him our opinion in the matter." FREE WITH HIS RICHES. Joliet Hospitals and Library Again Hemembered by Colonel Lambert. Joliet. 111., Jan. 10. Colonel John Lam bert, Joliefs noted philanthropist, comes forward prominently once more because of his new gift of $7,000 to the public li brary and of $1,500 each to the Silver Cross and St. Joseph hospitals. On Christmas day, 1866, Colonel Lambert presented the city of Joliet with $27,OM) for its public library, and on the same oc casions gave to the two hospitals named the same sums he gave them for their 1S98 New Year present. The colonel is a native of New Tork state. He is just 51 years old. At 16 he enlisted in the Union army and served his country until the close of the war. TO DEHORN REINDEER. Pew at a Time Can Be Shipped "With Immense Antlers. Washington, Jan. 10. Dr. Sheldon Jack son and Lieutenant Devore of the army who were sent to Norway to procure reindeer for the Klondike, are having their own troubles, owing to the number of horned deer offered them by the peo ple whom they are visiting. As it is the intention of the government to ship the reindeer in freight cars from New York after they arrive in this. coun try, the fact of most of the animals hav ing long, branching antlers has proven quite a serious problem. It has been de termined, therefore, by the authorities at the war department that it would be much more sensible if the reindeer could be dehorned, and instructions to this ef fect have been sent to the officials who went to Norway and Sweden charged with the execution of this mission. GOLD DUST. MOTOR "WOMAN FAILS. Mrs. Brierly Much Depressed, but Says She Will Get Another. Middletown, N. Y.. Jan. 10. The services of Mrs. Mabel Brierly as motorwoman on the electric road were dispensed with this morning by Superintendent Urban. One reason which led the superintendent to take this step was the fact that Mrs. Brierly's husband, Charles Brierly, was here yesterday vainly endeavoring to in duce his wife to accompany him back to their home in Matamoras, Pa. The su perintendent said, too, the woman's pres ence on the road was giving it too much unprofitable notoriety, and that he does not expect to experiment with any more motorwomen. The conductors who have rim on the road with the motorwoman say that she lacked coolness. GRILL ROOM IS OPEN. Once More the Classmen at Princeton University Gather at the Old Time Inn. Princeton, N. J., Jan. 10. Princeton Inn's grill room is open and once more upper classmen and graduates can gather in the famous room and drink their beer and sing their songs. The owners of the inn sent word to Manager Bave today that they had decid ed to open the grill. The news spread i quickly, and by 9 o'clock many students were there, and until 11 p. m. the chafing dishes and steins held full sway. The proctors have received orders to report all students entering saloons, but as they have always had these orders the recent action of the faculty and trustees will probably not have any effect on their vigilance in this respect. Two years ago the enforcing of this old drinking law was tried, but after two months was dropped as a failure. MANITOU HOTEL MORTGAGE Given by Dr. Beirs Company to Se cure $50,000.

MORE SAFEGUARDS NEEDED. No stronger argument could be of fered for the establishment of postal savings banks and the enactment of additional laws for the protection of de positors in private, state and national f banks than is afforded t y the summa ry of defalcations and bank wrecking for the year 1897. It is not sufficient that persons who make away with oth er people's money which has been en trusted to their keeping are sometimes caught and punished. What is of more importance to the losers is some means of getting their money back. Money deposited with the government through postal banks would be certain to be returned regardless of any dis- honesty among officials who might han dle it. Other institutions handling the public's money shculd be made as safe. The record of embezzlement, forgery, defalcation and bank-wrecking for 1897 shows an increase, the aggregate of money involved being $11,248,084, as against $9,405,921 in 1S96 and $10,423,205 in 1S95.

Out of 411 cases of embezzlement, 19 persons stole over $30,000 each; 22 over $100,000 each and five over $,"00,000 each. The losses are distributed as follows: Stolen by city and county officials, $3, 111,437; from banks, $4,443,251; by agents, $1,251,610; forgeries, $517,000; from loan associations, $542,713; by postmasters, $156,150; miscellaneous stealings, $1,220,883.

If the boy wanted craps worse than he wanted shoes the charity cannot be said to have been wholly misplaced. If the Standard Oil magnate had kept the money as a part of his own 6takes it probably would have won for him. He usually plays a sure thing "game." GLOBE SIGHTS. (From the Atchison Globe.) Did you ever see a telegraph operator over 45 years of age? When people who are in love don't ttct the fool, they are not in love. A man will quarrel with his best friend over a complimentary ticket to the theater. We never personally knew of but one man to go to the devil, and he was from Atchison. A good deal is said and written about society, but all there is to it is salted almonds and smUax. You occasionally hear that every thing these days is adulterated. There is one exception: gall. When a man says every man has his price, it is a sign that his price is pret ty low, and that he is looking for a bidder. PEOPLE YOU HEAR OF. John Russell Young, librarian of con gress, is reported as saying that the ex periment of employing women in the library of congress has not been suc cessful. Dean Farrar, in his "Reminiscences," says that Dean Stanley's hand writing was so bad that when he once answered an Invitation to dinner his hostess wrote back and asked whether his note Was an acceptance or a refusal. 1 O'Donovan Rossa, the celebrated fen Ian, fell in a fit in his New York office 0. day or two ago. O'Donovan has nev er been seriously ill since the time he was shot by Sirs. Yseult Dudley, said to be a British spy, who was adjudged insane and finally sent back to Eng land. His friends are alarmed. Lieutenant Julian Viaud, otherwise Pierre Loti, has been relieved of the command of the French gunboat Jave lot. now at Bidassoa, on the coast near I the boundary line between France and with the material for two books, "Ra mutcho" and Figures et Chases Qui Passaient." Aberdeen university's literary society presided over by a nephew of J. M. Barrie, has decided by a large major ity, after debate, that the Scottish Bchool of fiction does not deserve the favor it has received. The late General Sir Henry Have-look-Allen, who has been killed by the hillmen in Khyber pass, was as eccent ric as he was dashing. One sultry sum mer morning a few years ago he ap peared on parade at Aldershot mounted on a charger and clad in nothing but his helmit. And he reviewed his regi ment in that garb. Not long ago President Diaz of Mex ico received a letter from a little girl of Pueblo, in which she said: "Mamma locked up my doll, and I wasn't naugh ty. Please make her let me have it again." A day or two later the girl got by post from the president a hand some doll, with a note stating his belief should she remain good her mother would never have occasion to lock it away. Governor Hogg is advocating the nomination of CoL Bob Taylor for vice president probably as a matter of economy. His fiddle might take the place of a brass band In the campaign. It is said that the government clerks at Washington are "alarmed" at the In troduction of clocks into their depart ments alarm clocks perhaps. RAM'S- H OBN TRUMPETINGS. (From the Ram's Horn.) Iniquity builds its own Jail. Education cultivates natural ability. 'A false kiss is like honey with poison in it. Some men with short memory will tell long yarns. The higher life is lived in the lowest vale of humility. The sins of tyrants become the blood hounds of justice. The gospel train of salvation carries no second-class passengers. t The fear of endless torment ia not the gospel motive of repentance. The man who preaches for pay never loses any sleep over the non-success of his sermons.

Sin unpardoned shows a heart that's hardened. A forgiven offender reveals a heart that's tender. The debt of kindness must be paid on time or it must wait to be settled at the day of judgment. The man who has the "Sun of Right eousness" in his heart can carry sun shine with him wherever he goes. The man who loves truth will not be satisfied with mere courting he will be married to it at the earliest opportuni ty. 1 When a woman gives another a "piece of her mind" she never wraps it up in love nor offers it iwith the hand of mercy.

To have a rich man talk about giving the widow's mite is an absurd lie. First, he is not a widow; and, second, he does not give his all. Since Richard Croker himself-has de clared that he is not "in" politics in New York, strength is given to the popular impression that he Is the whole thing. When congress gets through talking about the civil service regulations per haps it will turn its attention to some question which is yet unsettled and in which the people feel an interest. QUEEN'S YACHT. Floating Palace to Cost ql,000,000 Being Built in England. Washington, Jan. 10. The navy de partment has received a report from the naval attache at London telling of the ceremony attending the laying of the first plates of the queen's new yacht to replace the Victoria and Al bert. The new yacht is to cost $1,000,000, and when completed will be exceeded in tonnage and luxury only by the yacht of the Russian emperor and that floating the flag of William III. The new vessel will have a speed of 21 knots. Educate Your Bowels With Cascaret. Candj Cathartic, cure constipation forever. 10c, 25c. It C. C. C. fail, druggists refund money. Shadow of Herself Stomach Was Too Weak to Retain Food A Complete Cure Effected by Hood's Sarsaparilla New Enjoying the Best of Health, With Digestion Perfect. "My mother was subject to sick head aches and indigestion for over a year. She was unable to stand for any length of time, and was obliged to stay in a dark room as she could not bear the light. She had no appetite whatever and her stomach was so weak she could not retain what food she did eat. She also had severe pains in her head. She suffered so much that she became but the shadow of her self. One day I happened to read a tes timonial about Hood's Sarsaparilla. It Sounded So Truthful I persuaded her to try this medicine. Before finishing the first bottle there was an improvement in her condition. She no longer threw up her food and her head ache was not as severe. She took in all four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and several boxes of Hood's Pills and regained her weight. She is now enjoying the best of health. Her digestion is good and she can eat almost anything she wishes. She is 42 years old and says she feels as well as when she was 16. Hood's Sarsaparilla made a complete cure in her case."

KANSASNEWS. Death Follows a Divorce at Ar kansas City. Peculiarly Sad Tragedy in the Passing of C. E. Sipes. IS FOUND DEAD IN BED Although "Well Upon Retiring the Previous Night. Puzzling Disease Afflicts a Lit tle Abilene Girl. Arkansas City, Jan. 10. The death of C. R. Sipes, a wealthy and respected citizen of this place Saturday night of heart disaese, closes the chapter of a romance and severed home.

Two Grand Concerts Will Be Given at the Dedication. Lawrence, Jan. 10. The new electric pipe organ at the Kansas university has just been completed and elaborate plans are being laid for two grand con certs by way of dedication. This organ is one of the finest in the country and it has been constructed for its special place by the builders at a total cost of $6,000. It is the first or gan to be constructed on the improved design of an adjustable combination pedal action, there being a system of electric switch pins which lacks the combination on each pedal and also shows the organist just what combina tion he has prepared. The drawing of a single stop, and then it regulates it self. The extreme height and the width of the instrument are each 25 feet. There are three manuals, or rows of keys of 61 notes each. The console, or key board case is connected w-ith the or gan by a 50 foot cable of electric wires so that it may be moved about, even to the middle of the room.

Herd in Marshall County Afflicted in a Peculiar Manner. Blue Rapids.Jan.10. A farmer named Rice, residing about six miles from here, is having serious trouble with, his stock. He has 60 head of heifers which he purchased in Colorado, one of which he noticed at the time was afflicted with a peculiar disease resembling and eating like a cancer. Since then 40 others of his herd are affected the same way, and some of them he thinks are about to die. People who have seen them in the feed lots say the stench arising from the affected cattle is sickening. Several cattle men have been there to see them, but they haven't been able to locate what the disease is, and Mr. Rice has written to Govenor Leedy and the state veterinarian for information. This is the only herd of cattle in Marshall county affected in this manner, and efforts are being made to keep the herd in the feed lots, until the state veteri narian arrives and reports on the dis ease.

Painting Artist, in America, who i KANSAS and interested in the case of the little daughter of T.J. Banks, the well known colored cook, the child being afflicted with a disease resembling leprosy in 6ome respects, and yet, after a careful diagnosis by individual physicians and by the Golden Belt Medical society at a meeting at Salina, decided it to be what is known as Reynaud's disease. The child at that time was improving after losing several finger joints which had, during a painful progress of dry rot, dropped off. For a time the little girl appeared to have recovered, but last fall, after starting to school, the disease again attacked her, and now every finger has dropped from her hands, and her nose, too, has fallen off. The little girl has been a great suf ferer and is now a mere skeleton, yet eats heartily and has a wonderful ap petite. CONVICTED AT EUREKA Mrs. Amelia New and George Dobbs Guilty of Murder in Second Degree. Eureka, Jan. 10. The jury in the New murder case at 4:30 Sunday morning returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree against Mrs. Ame lia New and George H. lobbs. They had been out since 5 o'clock Saturday evening. The verdict of guilty in the second degree has created considerable sur prise, nearly everyone having predicted it would be in the first degree. It is now definitely known that Mrs. New made a confession of her guilt Satur day evening at the close of the trial, as reported at the time. No details of the crime were given in the confes sion, which was brief and made orally by her to an intimate lady friend. An officer overheard the major portion of the confession.

Thought to Have Stolen p712 From Dr. Campbell of Cherryvale. Independence, Jan. 10. Harry Siegel and Grace Clark were brought here and placed in the county jail last night by W. O. Mcintosh, deputy sheriff. They are charged with robbing Ir. Campbell, of Cherryvale of $712, and there is very strong evidence against them. It seems that Dr. Campbell and his wife were afraid of banks and kept their money hid around the house. On the 17th of last August, when both were away from home during the even ing, the house was broken into and $712 in money taken. Finally the official got on the right track and afterwards arrested Harry Siegel. He recovered $412 of the stolen money,' part of which was found in the house occupied by Grace Clark in Springfield, Mo. She was closely watched in the hopes of se curing the remaining $300 but was fin ally arrested as an accomplice. THRESHER EXPLODES. Killing One Man and Dangerously Wounding Two Others.
