Lamar, Col., is to have a new beet sugar factory which will employ 300 men at least five months in the year. Th# plant will handle the crops of the eastern part of the Arkansas val ley and will be ready for the 1905 campaign. The fifty-eighth report of the com missioner of lunacy of Great Britain, issued September 7. 1904, shows that in England and Wales on January 1 last 117,199 persons were certified as Insane, being 3,235 in excess ot the number on the same day in 1903. This increase is comparable with that :>f 3,251 in 1902, 2,769 in 1901 and 1.- 333 in 1900, the average annual in crease in the ten years ended Decem ber 31, 1903, being 2,513. The agricultural year in Spain is nearing its close, and farmers are about to gather their late crops. Months ago the vineyards promised an abundant yield, but storms, frost, sleet and mildew have spoiled large tracts in many districts. The con tinuous droughts in the provinces of Valencia, La Mancha and Aragon, at the critical period for the develop ment of the grapes, has materially diminished the wine product. Sheffield's gas consumption has in creased from 1,131,000,000 cubic feet to 2,718,000,000 cubic feet in the past 23 years, an increase of 140 per cent., while the price has decreased front 56 cents to 40 cents per 1,000 cubic feet, or 285 per cent —this for coal gas, not water gas—with a standard of 16.50 candle power tested by the corpora tion. It is claimed from this showing that Sheffield is as well served as any city in the kingdom, and at a lower price. The Paris-Lyons-Mediterranean Rail way Co. contemplates cutting all rec ords in railway speeds. For the next winter season a train for the Riviera is to be put on the rails which will leace Paris at 9 a. m.and will reach Nice at 10:50 p. m. As the distance is 676 miles, ihis will necessitate an overage speed over the entire jour ney of from 60 to 62 miles an hour. The engine selected is of the com pound type of 1,000 horse-power, and with four cylinders. Statistics for India for 1902 show that the population has increased over 40,000,000 since 1891 and numbered at the time of the census of that year 294,361,056 persons, who spoke 185 dif ferent languages and observed eight great religions. During 1902 36,002 persons were killed by reptiles and wild animals. Tigers killed 1,040, leopards, 609; wolves, 307; other wild animals, 904, and reptiles, 23,166. The number of wild animals destroyed was 14,983, and snakes, 71,384. After lying submerged for nearly 60 years, the remnants of the first At lantic liner are being put to commer cial uses. In 1847 the Sirius, the first steamer to cross the Atlantic, was lost off the south coast of Ireland, and the wreck remained undisturbed till early this year, when it was raised for the sake of the brass, copper and gun metal in the engines and fittings. These realized a good sum, and the shaft, which is of the finest brass, is to be made into mementoes by an en terprising Birmingham firm. Every American and nearly every other civili/.eti man recognizes the queer name "Sequoya" at once as re ferring to the wonderful big trees of California. But how many people know where the name comes from? The godfather of the great trees was Sequoya, a Cherokee Indian. He died in 1843, at the age of 83 years, and he left behind him something that makes his name much more famous anions the Cherokees than the fact that the big trees are named after him. Tii was the Cherokee syllable alphabet, Kopak, which is a sort of yellow wadding covering the seeds of cer tain trees in the Malaccas, is found very useful in stulling cheap mattress es and pillows, which •■v delightfully soft if the kopak is expos."' lo the sun before being used, as its fibres are very non-resisting. It is very light and buoyant, greatly surpassing cork in this respect, as it will support in tho water 35 times its own weight. It is :aid that kapok never decays, while a man weighing 145 pounds can be supported ir wat" r on about tea sounds of it. A RECORD-BREAKING CROP AND A BIG DEMAND. TO FIGHT SHOPLIFTERS. Losses of Half a Million Dollars Have Been Sustained by 21 Department Stores in New York City This Year. New York, Nov. IS. —Losses of half a million dollars through shoplifting have been suffered during the past year by 21 department stores in this city, whose proprietors because of 1 such losses have formed an alliance to fight petty pilfering. The fact such an alliance had been formed came out yesterday when a woman was given a 15-day prison sentence in the court of general sessions, after having pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing goods from a department store. Hitherto the storekeepers have been willing to let offenders off with a fine, and the court as a rule has acted ac cordingly. Before sentence was im posed yesterday the attorney who had prosecuted the case said that his law firm had been retained by an alliance of 21 department stores to prosecute every case of shoplifting. "The shoplifting evil lias become so great," said he, "owing to the leniency of justices of special sessions, that it is a very serious matter to the firms concerned. During the past year the losses through shoplifting to the 21 firms in this alliance which I repre sent have amounted to $500,000." The several justices declared that they believed they had been too leni ent in shoplifting cases, because most of the defendants had been women. Justice Wyatt, speaking for the entire bench, said he would make the wo man's sentence severe enough to serve as an example for others. He then imposed the sentence of 15 days, but announced that the next prisoner convicted on such a charge would get a 30-day sentence. RIOTING IN CHICAGO. Strikers Attacked a Furniture Com pany's Wagons that Were in Charge of Non-Unionists. Chicago, Nov. 18. —A mob of sympa thizers with striking furniture movers ■ attacked several wagons of the John son Chair Co. in the heart of the busi ness district yesterday and for a time traffic was blocked by a mass of strug gling rioters. The -drivers of the wagons were menaced by the mob. The few policemen on hand were help less to make any headway against the | crowd, which only gave way when re inforcements of police arrived. Similar trouble occurred when two wagons loaded with chairs drove up to the Sherman street entrance to the j board of trade building. A crowd of over 1,000 persons followed the i wagons, which were under police ! guard, and many threats were made ! against the non-union drivers. The doors of the Jackson boulevard side of the hoard of trade building ; were locked and other doors guarded, 1 that no trouble might occur in the building. Operators, clerks and mes sengers gathered upon window ledges of the board of trade and surrounding i buildings, threw corn upon the crowd • and increased the confusion by yelling I continuously. The corn throwers were finally dislodged by the police. Ropes which held dozens of chairs on the wagons were cut. Foes of the j non-union drivers hurled chairs at the s wagon men. Two patrolmen received i injuries from chairs. A running light ; ensued, the crowd pursuing the wagons all the way back to the fac j tory. Automobile Accident was Fatal. Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 18.—In an automobile accident in the suburbs of j the city yesterday Humphrey Praed, assistant general manager of the San Jacinto Land Co., of Riverside, Cal., j was instantly killed and Miss Mina ! Rudolph, leading lady of the San Toy i opera company, and C. S. Fry, chaf feur, seriously hurt. Praed was run ning the machine when it went over an embankment. Was Murdered for His Money. Nlles, Mich., Nov. 18. —The charred body of John Perkins, an aged wood chopper, has been found in the ruins of his shanty which stood in a woods seven miles south of here. He was supposed to have had considerable money hidden in his shanty and the police think he was killed and robbed ' and that the murderer then set fire to ! the shanty. Raised the Price of Bar Iron. New York, Nov. 18.—The Eastern [ liar Iron association has ordered an i advance of $2 per ton in the price of I its products. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1904. FOUR PEOPLE KILLED. Street Cars Ran Away at a Railroad Crossing and Were Struck by a Train. Toronto, Ont., Nov. 18. —A streetcar with a trailer attached pot beyond control of the motorman and crashed through the guard gates at the Queen street crossing of the Grand Trunk railway last night. A Montreal freight train struck the forward car, grinding it to splinters. Every passenger on the street car was injured, two dying soon after being taken from the wreckage and two at the hospital. The dead are: James Armstrong, conductor. One year-old child of J. Robertson. Mrs. Minnie Mahaffy, internally in jured, died at hospital. Russell T. Stephens, internally in jured, died at hospital. The forward car was struck fairly in the center and completely demol ished. The vestibule from which the motorman had jumped was carried tip the track 100 yards. The trailer was overturned and all the windows were smashed, but the body of the car re mained intact. Can't Go Behind the Returns. Denver, Nov. IS. —The supreme court yesterday reaffirmed its decision that it has the right to take jurisdic tion of the last election, and the hear ing of testimony in the cases of 27 election officers who have been cited for contempt was commenced. The court further held that the elections commission in making the Denver count cannot go behind the returns, but must use the written count of the I election judges and not count the tal lies. The decisions are victories for the republicans, as in both cases the motions of the republican attorneys were sustained. A Rare Surgical Operation. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 18. —After hav | ing been imbedded in Harry Elwell's chest for four years a silver tube, four 1 inches long and one-fourth inch in di ameter, has been removed by an oper ation. Elwell, who is 20 years of age, suffered with an abscess of the throat about four years ago. An incision was made and a silver tube was in serted to drain Ims from tl;t» abscess. The tube slipped into the chest and the attending physicians closed the wound, sewing it inside. For a time Elwell appeared in good health, but his old trouble recurred and the oper ation was performed. Four Men Were Asphyxiated. New York, Nov. 18. —Four men were asphyxiated by gas at Dover, N. J., yesterday at the plant of the Dover, Itockaway and Port Oram Gas Co. They constituted the entire working force of the plant and were discovered ; by George E. Bunnell, a former em ploye, who on visiting the plant found it apparently deserted, with the en gines running under a full head of steam and scarcely any water in the boilers. After shutting down the en gines and attending to the boilers, Bunnell found the four men beneath an open trap door in the meter room, Held His Would-be Captors at Bay. Chicago, Nov. 18. —After he had shot and probably fatally wounded Conrad Baxman at Bart.lett. 111., yesterday, William Pollworth, 20 years of age, barricaded himself in the home of his mother and for hours defied a score of citizens who had surrounded the Poll worth house in an effort to capture the youth. Pollworth used a shotgun and a revolver to keep the crowd from forcing an entrance to the house. It was not until Sheriff Barrett, of Cook county, had sent 15 deputy sheriffs to Bartlett that. Pollworth threw away liis weapons and surrendered. Dynamiters at Work. Barcelona, Nov. 18. —By the explo sion of a bomb in the Hue Fernando last evening six people were injured, one of them fatally. The End of a Long Strike. Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 18. —A reso lution asking that the boycott be taken off the shops of the members of tile Rochester Clothing Exchange has been passed by the United Garment Workers here. This is the end of the strike and boycott begun against the Rochester clothing market October 12, 1903. The Turk Buye 100 New Batteries. Berlin, Nov. 18. —A dispatch from Constantinople says Turkey is order ing 100 .tew batteries of artillery front Germat., French and English factories at a cost of $10,000,000. PASSENGER TRAINS COLLIDED. THREE MEN KILLED AND NINE PERSONS INJURED. : The Trains Came Together at a "Y" Junction at Elmdale, Mich. — Switch Was Not T urne-rl. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 17. —Two pas sengers were killed and nine or more passengers and trainmen were injured in a rear-end passenger train collision last night at Elmdale, on the Pere i Marquette railroad. The dead: M. Simons, New York City. J. L. Strelitzkey, Chicago. Late last night the mangled body of a colored man was dug out of the wreck. It is supposed the body is that of the porter of the parlor car. The collision occurred at Elmdale : Junction, 22 miles east of Grand Kap | ids. Both trains were eastbound, No. ] C for Detroit and No. 34 for Saginaw. 1 The Saginaw train had preceded the ! Detroit train out of Grand Rapids by a few minutes and was standing on a "Y* at Elmdale, where the Saginaw division branches off from the Detroit division. Through some mistake the switch was not turned behind the Saginaw train and the Detroit train also ran upon the "Y," the engine of the Detroit train crashing into the rear of the parlor «tar of the Saginaw \ train. The passengers injured were in the parlor car of the latter and the train men who were hurt were on the De troit train. The Pere Marquette of ficials at Detroit state that the Detroit train was running slow, as it was ap proaching a station. No explanation lias been made as to ! where the responsibility lies for fail ure to throw the switch behind the Saginaw train when it had turned from the Detroit division. Ordinarily there is 20 minutes' time between the two trains, but last night the Saginaw train was held at Grand Rapids to wait for passengers from a train on the Chicago division. Through this arrangement the Detroit train was following close behind the Saginaw , train as far as Elmdale. DEATH BY THE GAS ROUTE. Three New Yorkers Shuffled Off in This Manner in One Day. New York, Nov. 17. —Three persons are dead and another is at a hospital in a serious condition as a result of in- ; haling illuminating gas. In only one j case was there anything to indicate | that the victim had invited death. After eking out a wretched exist- '■ \ ence for several months past, ill, un | able to work and dependent upon the 1 charity of her neighbors, Mrs. Rosa Rosenberger locked herself into her i little basement room in the rear of an ! East Side tenement, opened half a i dozen gas jets and lay down to die. , ! Her body was found by the janitress j of the building. Frederick Brandt, who called him- I self a "professor of astrology," turned 1 : on the gas by accident in his lodgings In West Forty-second street and lost his life. Accidental disconnection of a tube from the gas stove in his room on East Thirty-seventh street is supposed to have been responsible for the death of William Coffey, a roofer. Coffey had been dead for hours when his body i was found. Mrs. Mary Higgins, a domestic, was overcome by gas fumes in a furnished room in the East Side. She is now at a hospital and may recover, but her condition is extremely critical. HONORED BY HIS NEIGHBORS. Democrats Vie with Republicans in Paying a Tribute of Esteem to the Vice President-Elect. Indianapolis, Nov. 17. —Political af- [ filiations were forgotten last night when several hundred representative j ; men of both the republican and dem- j ocratic parties assembled at the Com- j mercial club to congratulate Senator ; Charles W. Fairbanks, vice president- j elect. John W. Kern, democratic nominee ; for governor, sat side by side with Senator Albert J. Beveridge and Sen ator Fairbanks, and the combination ! added enthusiasm when the leaders of : the two parties engaged in friendly political repartee. John W. Kern j acted as chairman of the meeting and j ; called upon Senator Fairbanks, Sen ator Beveridge, Judge F. E. Gavin and > Addison C. Harris, formerly minister | to Austria. Senator Fairbanks was given pro- I ! longed applause when he rose to ; speak. In his introductory address | Mr. Kern paid a hij;h tribute to the i | vice president-elect, saying that in the ! I whole campaign he heard no bitter j { word fall from his lips, and that he j j yielded the same liberty to his oppo- i nents as he himself claimed under the j American flag. Another Head Falls. Washington, Nov. 17.—Postmaster j I General Wynne yesterday removed j [ from office D. M. Monroe, of Wiscon- | sin, a stenographer in the office of the j [ first assistant postmaster general.

A very plain man, whose homely features Whistler, the lamous painter, had depicted with uncompromising fidel ity. came to him at the end of the last sitting and said: "Come, come, Master Whistler, you can hardly tell me that that is a great work of art." "Perhaps not," said Whistler, nonchalantly, "but then, my dear sir, you can hardly tell me that you are a great work of nature." —London Mail. Just Comfortable.

GIRL AfJOMAN OARE NEEDED AT THE CHANGE FEOM ONE TO THE OTHER linn j* n Ufa Spent In fiufffrlng: ReraaH Troubles Wore Allowed to Develop At This Time.' Every mother of a growing girl should remember that there will come a time when her daughter will bo a girl no longer but will share with her tho bless ings of womanhood. Unless nourish ment keeps pace with growth the founda tions of a life of suffering aro laid at that time. Mrs. John MacKinney, of No. 478 Thirteenth street, Detroit,Mich., writes a timely word. She says : " I did not get proper care at the first critical time iu my life and for seven teen years I suffered as a result. I had dizzy spells, felt a constant fear that something dreadful was about to happen and was afraid togo out alone. My breathing was very short and I had pal pitation of tho heart so badly that I could not go up stairs nor walk even moderately fast. I was so nervous that 1 could not ait still. At different times for years I was under tho care of tho best physicians in Detroit and I tried a number of advertised medicines. Noth ing helped me until, on tho advice of a neighbor, I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People. I felt relieved before the first box was finished and I kept oa taking them nntil I was cured. " Last winter my little girl had rheu matism and I gave her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and she got well right away. My niece was thought to bo going into con sumption and, upon my advice, slio tried the pills. They cured her cough and she is now well and strong. My entire fam ily are enthusiastic over Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People and we can not say enough in their praise," Theso pills effect 6uch cures be cause they goto tho root of tho disease. Other remedies act on tho symptoms— these marvelous vegetable pills remove the cause of the trouble. They have proved themselves to bo an unfailing specific for all diseases arising from im pure blood and weakened nerves—two fruitful causes of nearly all the ilia to which humankind is heir. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are 6old in boxes at 60 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct from Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.
