Prof. Wiley is becoming too finicky
in objecting to the use of borax and
saltpetre us food, so long as the
proper label is used thus: "Old
dough's Alum Bread;" "Tinplate's
borax Beans."
Dr. S. A. Frazier, of Berkeley, Cal.,
has invented a language containing
neither swear words nor expressions
to convey unpleasant emotions. This
Is going a great way toward taking
language out of politics.
In Minnesota a teacher who spanked
two girls had the choice of paying a
heavy fine or resigning his position.
If one of the maidens should eventu
ally marry him he would regret hav
ing declined the chance to fly.
The students at the several col
leges in Rome wear eccelsiastlcal
garb, but each is different in cut and
color. The Germans are the most
conspicuous in long, single-breasted
close-buttoned coats of brilliant scar

South Carolina's efforts to promote
immigration from Europe have al
ready borne substantial fruit in the
decision of the North German Lloyd
company to operate an emigrant ves

Charleston.
A Philadelphia policeman who near
ly choked to death on a pearl in an
oystter found out after he had recov

SSO, which, of course, makes it one of
those good chokes that we so fre
quently hear about and seldom see.
A Winona, Minn., hunter mistook a
girl for a woodchuck the other day
and shot her. Isn't it nearly time to
insist that no man shall be permitted
to hunt without first obtaining a li
cense by showing that he knows
game when he sees it?
Another universal language, Trinl
ti, has been invented by one Dr. Fra
zier of Berkeley, who thinks to
recommend it by advertising a total
abstinence of swear words. There
seems to be no economy in compel
ling people to know two languages.
A man who was born in America
has won the professional golf cham

The largest and costliest building
thus far undertaken in New York, the
city of immense structures, is the
magnificent $10,000,000 Episcopal Ca

being erected on Morningside
Heights. This will be the greatest sa
cred edifice in America, and the
fourth in importance in the world.
At the government printing office
the new efficiency system arrange''
by Public Printer Stillings has gone
into effect. This system is intended
to provide for a precise estimate as
to what a certain piece of work will
cost. Heretofore the basis of esti
mates has been largely theoretical.
Tho employes were alarmed when
they leaVned that the dreaded effi
ciency system had gone into effect,
fearing that it meant more work.
Mr. Stillings allayed their fears. The
new system simply preserves a rec
ord of what work each employe is
able to do.
The figures of the domestic trade
of the United States, like those relat
ing to foreign commerce, show big
gains for 1900 over tho preceding
year. The increase is particularly
noteworthy in cattle, meat and grain
shipments, in production and con
sumption of coal, in dealings in pro
visions, cotton and other staples and
in the general business done by the
great rail and water transportation
routes. We are buying and selling
more abroad than ever before, but our
incomparable home market is develop
ing at an unparalleled rate.
A Cleveland girl has written to the
navy department saying she wants to
enlist. The navy Jacks have lots of
U3e for Jills, even aboard ship, only
they don't spoil them that way. The
girl didn't say what she wanted to do
aboard ship, but after she found the
key of tho foretop, and had stuck a
knife in the mainmast to raise a
breeze, she would probably discover
some function of life at sea at present
unused, simply because It never oc

GRAINJRMS
And Railroads are Indict
ed for Rebating.
SURPRISED THtM
Federal Grand Jury at Minneapolis
Astonished Railroad Officials
by Its Action.
Minneapolis, Minn. —Eleven indict
ments were handed to Judge
Lochren in the United States district
court Thursday afternoon, covering
the giving of rebates by certain rail
roads and the receiving of the same
by grain firms and individuals. The
list of corporations against which the
Indictments were returned as given
out by Assistant District Attorneys
Ewart and Dickie, who have had
charge of the cases, are:
The Great Northern Railroad Co.,
four indictments and about 75 counts.
The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha railway, one indictment and
60 counts.
Wisconsin Central railway, one in
dictment, 17 counts.
Minneapolis & St. Louis railway,
one indictment, five counts.
The indictments against the rail
roads charge the giving of rebates and
tinder the head of receiving rebates
the following true bills were returned:
W. P. Devereaux Co., McCaul-Dius
move Co., Minneapolis; Ames Brooks
Co., of Duluth; Duluth Milling Co.
Besides tho corporations, indict
ments were returned against 11 indi
vidual officials of the railroads named,
but District Attorney Houpt said he
would not consent to the names being
given out for publication, owing to the
fact no service had yet been obtained
on them.
The general offense alleged in the
railroad indictments is the absorption
of grain elevation charges.
After the bunch of indictments had
been given out to the court the jurors
were excused for the term and told to
convene again in St. Paul. That a fur
ther and more searching investigation
into the rebate question will be made
Is not denied by Assistant District At
torney Ewart and further revelations
are expected to be made at the next
Bitting of the grand jury.
Perhaps the most surprised people
of all were the railroads, for none of
those interested expected indictments
to be brought. Each company had
made its best endeavors to disclaim
any criminality in its relation with the
grain companies.
WERE OVERCOME BY SMOKE.
A Woman and Four Children Perished
in a Tenement House Fire.
New York.—ln a fire in an East
Side five-story tenement house
on Madison street last night a woman
and her four children were suffocated.
The family, named Ginsberg, occupied
apartments on an upper floor and
their escape was cut off by the smoke
and flames in the lower part of the
building. More than 50 women were
taken down the fire escapes by fire
men.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene almost every window of the
building was crowded with women
and children calling for assistance.
The fire in the lower floors had tilled
the halls and stairways with smoke
and cut off the means of escape. All
of them were taken down fire escapes
and ladders by the firemen, who then
searched tho halls and upper apart
ments. On the third floor they found
the bodies of three children on the
stairs, where they had been overcome
by the smoke. In one of the flats on
that floor they also found the bodies
of the woman and the fourth child,
who also had been suffocated.
Admitted that the Notes Were Forged.
Chicago, 111. —Paul O. Stensiand and
Henry W. Hering, who were re
spectively president and cashier of the
Milwaukee Avenue state bank, were
in court Thursday to testify regarding
some of the forged notes held by the
institution and us«d by Hering and
Stensiand as ostensible collateral. The
specific case in question was regard
ing a note of SIO,OOO signed with the
name of Francis Peabody. Mr. Pea
body declared that the signature is a
forgery, and Hering on the witness
stand admitted that the signature is
not genuine. He also declared several
other notes shown to him are forger
ies.
Terrorists Dynamited a Train.
Warsaw. Upon the arrival oi
n train over the Vienna-Warsaw
railroad at Rogow station last night a
band of Terrorists surrounded the sta
tion and threw a bomb at the mail
van. The train was derailed. Several
soldiers escorting the van were killed
or wounded. The Terrorists then
robbed the mail, and it is rumored
that they got away with a very large
sum of money, estimated as high as
1500,000.
Strikers Win a Long Fight.
Scranton, Pa. —The strike at the
Scranton nut and bolt works
which began last June was ended
Thursday, the company granting the
demands for a 12% per cent, increase
in wages. The settlement of the strike
here, it is believed, will result in simi
lar concessions to the men in all east
ern nut and bolt mills where men have
been on strike.
Socialists Go Gunning.
Lodz, Russian Poland. —Seven na
tionalist workmen were shot down
here Thursday by socialists.

CONSPIRACY CHARGES.
Indictments Returned Against Men who
Furnished Boiler Tubes for Uncle
Sam's Warships.
Pittsburg, Pa. —Indictments were
returned by the federal grand
Jury in this city Friday against J. J.
Dunn, Charles L. Close and Frank L.
Emmett, officers and employes of the
Shelby Steel Tube Co., charging them
with conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment in connection with the boiler
tubes furnished for a number of bat
tleships.
There are 30 specific counts against
the men and it is alleged the conspir
acy was in operation over a period
from 1892 to January 1, 1905. The in
dictments further assert that the de
fective tubes wei-e placed in boilers
that were used 011 12 vessels, among
them being the Louisiana, upon which
President Roosevelt is now making
his trip to Panama. The other vessels
named in the indictment as having the
defective tubes alleged to have been
furnished are the Maine, Pennsylva
nia, Georgia, Colorado, Vermont,
Maryland, Tennessee, Washington,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Charleston.
It is asserted that at the time the
conspiracy is alleged to have been in
effect, Dunn, who is now the superin
tendent of all the seamless tube mills
of the Shelby Tube Co., was the super
intendent of the Greenville mills
where the boiler tubes were made.
Close at. that time was the assistant
superintendent and Eimnett was the
head of the finishing and shipping de
partment.
The indictments are the outcome of
an investigation started a month or
more ago upon information furnished
by Emmett. Immediately after the re
turn of the grand jury was made
Jui'ije Ewi;.g issue.l bench warrants
for the three inert and they will be ar
rested to-day. They will be given n
hearing Monday and the eases will be
heard before the January term of the
United States district court at Erie,
Pa.
WAR IN TEXAS.
A Pitched Battle Between Rangers
and Mexicans Results in the Death
of Four of the Latter.
Laredo, Tex.—Four Texas rangers
sent to Rio Grande City to
quiet turbulent political conditions
there and Investigate the assassina
tion of District Judge Welch, which
occurred the night before election,
were ambushed by a body of armed
Mexicans between Fordyce and Rio
Grande City late Thursday night. The
rangers were asleep in camp when
awakened by a volley of shots from
the darkness. A pitched battle en
sued and four of the attacking party
were killed, one fatally wounded and
two captured. The rangers escaped
unscathed.
The situation in Starr county was
brought about by alleged election ir
regularities, due to political clubs
supplying Mexican residents with poll
tax receipts and insisting that they be
allowed to vote. Judge Welch had
gone from his home in Corpus Christi,
to be present at Rio Grande City on
election day in an effort to prevent
disorders. He was assassinated while
he was asleep Monday night.
It is charged that armed represent
atives of political clubs controlling the
Mexican vote patrolled the voting
places on election day and refused to
allow members of the opposing fac
tion to vote. Several shooting affrays
occurred, but no one was killed or
wounded. It is charged by one faction
that Judge Welch was murdered by a
hired assassin and that Thursday
night's ambuscade of the rangers was
instigated by the same faction.
REVIEW Of TRADE.
An Inadequate Supply of Freight Cars
and Labor Is a Retarding
Influence.
New York. —R. G. Dun & CO.'E
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business experienced the customary
interruption during election week, but
a more permanent retarding influence
was the inadequate supply of freight
cars and labor. Many industries are
severely handicapped by traftic delays.
In other cases there is idle machinery
because hands cannot be secured, de
spite the high wages offered. This dif
ficulty threatens to reduce the lumber
cut materially.
Several strikes are threatened, and
one railway system has advanced
wages to the extent of a million dol
lars monthly. Retail trade is well
maintained by lower temperature in
some sections of the country and the
full employment of labor at all points,
while wholesale business in holiday
goods is very heavy.
A Series of Incendiary Fires.
New York. —One woman is dead,
a man is in a hospital suffering
from severe burns, 2,000 persons fled
from their homes in panic and thou
sands more passed a sleepless night
as a result of a series of incendiary
fires in the two blocks bounded by
Sixtieth and Sixty-first streets and Co
lumbus and West End avenues early
Friday. Scores of persons whose lives
were endangered by the conflagration
were rescued by firemen. In all there
were five fires, every one of them in
cendiary, between midnight and 3
o'clock in the morning.
Nine Workmen Killed.
Long Beach, Cal. —Five stories
of the central wing of the new
$750,000 Bixby hotel collapsed Friday,
carrying nine workmen to death in the
tons of tangled wreckage. About 150
artisans and laborers were scattered
through the structure at the moment
it fell.
A Fatal Mistake.
Marquette, Mich.—Lee Hall, an

-Tor over thirty-five years I was a
severe sufferer from eczema. The
eruption was not confined to any one
place. It was all over my body, limbs
and even on my head. I am si.uy
years old and an old soldier, and have
been examined by the Government
Board over fifteen times, and they
said there was no cure for me. I have
taken all kinds of medicine and have
spent large sums of money for doc
tors, without avail. A short time ago
I decided to try the Cuticura Reme

Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura

I am now well and completely cured.

The Zulu War Cry.
The Zulu war cry, used whenever
they take the field by the South Afri
can footballers now in London, has
puzzled our newspapers, not one of
which seems able to spell it correctly,
says Notes and Queries. T.he Daily
Express gives it as "Igamilzho," and
the Daily Mail as "Gammillo." The
cry really consists of two words, and
should be written "Igama layo."
"Igama" Is Zulu for "name," and
"layo" is a possessive pronoun, mean
ing either "his" or "their." Thus the
Dally Mail, although quite wrong in
Its orthography of the cry, is right In
saying that it merely means "That is
his name." The explanation Is that
Zulu etiquette does not allow warriors,
when they rush Into battle, to men
lion the names of their enemies, but
the leaders shout out, "That is his
name," pointing to the victims with
thoir spears.

"Coffee never agreed with me noi

leaving off coffee arid using Posturn
that we discovered the cause and cure

"The only reason, I am sure, why
Postum is not used altogether to the
