JUUUUTUTURUTSUMVUINURSURVVIRRESESESE SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ‘ANNUM A DECENT WAGE FOR THE SOLDIER Representative Hull of Iowa, who will succeed himself as chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, is in Washington to consult with the officers of the General Staff as to the best means of filling the depleted ranks of the army. The officers have told Mr. Hull, and he agreed with them, thathigher pay for the enlisted men will keep the recruiting forces busy. There will be an attempt by Mr. Hull to secure the passage of a bill which will give tne soldier the pay that he deserves and earns. Possi- bly Congress will wake up to the seriousness of the situation and do something for the army. The mem- bers of Congress, like other civilians generally, don’t care a rap about the army in time of peace, though they are willing to do something for it in the spirit of pure selfishness when war threatens. If Mr. Hull and the Ceneral Staff get their pay increase bill through, they will rank with the men who win big battles. It is said that an attempt will be made to put through side by side with the pay bill a bill to increase the number of men in certain branches of the service. Folly! One thing at a time is all that Con- gress can be brought painfully to do for the army, Mr. Hull and the other friends of the service will defeat their own ends if they try to do too much at one time. Let other things wait until the enlisted men are paid a decent wage aud the ranks-are filled to stay. Rowe McCamus, who was located here for a time working on the papers here in the mechanical de- partment, but who is now succeed- ing as publisher of the Brookston Herald, has been appointed post- master at the thriving village on the Easter division of the G. N. Rowe has a number of friends here who are glad eo hear of his success.— Crookston Times. Rowe was for some time foreman of the Daily Pioneer and he has many friends in this city who will be pleased to learn of his appoint- ment. He is a hustler and a “booster” for Brookston, and is entitled to all that the good people of that place can hand him, OBSERVATIONS. Some people buy gold bricks jnst to have something to kick about. Changing your banker isa deli- cate a matter aschanging your milk- man., No man believes it is very serious offence to steal watermelons, unless he owns the patch. As a matter of fact, isn’t it true that they are the happiest who never have time to think? Any kind of an excuse goes with mother, but when a boy can fix up an excuse that will go with father he shows rare genius. There is as much difference be- tween a croaking laugh and a silvery one, when heard in a business office, as you might imagine. . A man who is a good husband, according to the standard found in the story books, would spend so much time being gallant to his wife that he wouldn’t have time to earn a living. The 8ick Chinaman. Perhaps nowhere in the world is family affection stronger than among the Chinese, yet their method of deal- ing with the eick & pitiable to the mose entightened world. When a fa- vorfte gon falls {1l his life depbnds largely upon a package of joss sticks, The grieving father seeks a joss house, procures a handful of these sticks and, taking fhem home, lights them, He sbakes them gently. Soon one falls, Bagerly the father watches tt. Wil it burn to the end or go out? If it is entirely consumed the son will survive; it it goes out he il dle. It goes out! Ohinaman reasons thus: His son 'wes ¢hased by a devil and when the dovil touched him he became {ll. The dovil demonstrated by means of the Joss sticks that his son must dle. Had the joss sticks burped to the end it would have signified the future recoy- ary of the patlent. Joss men would bave been called in, & most fearful din ‘would bave followed, and the dev- f atd all his lower imps would have been driven away.—New York Herald, i g e s = CESpe o DEFEASE ALLIAE SCARED BY JUDGE LANDIS In Future Contests Over Stannard Oll Rebates Railroads Will Contest the Right of the Government to Make Them Produce Evidence. Chicago, Aug. ..—Rallroads and other big corporations are getting to- gether with a view to mutual ald and comfort. In Chicago, and likewise In New York, there is tanglble evidence that the huge fine assessed agalnst the Standard Oil company by Judge Landls has driven the big combina- tions Into & copper riveted offensive and defensive alliance, In New York the trafic managers of all the great Industrial corporations met and discussed the decision and the future outlook. In this city the Standard Oil company and the rail- roads implicated with it in the indict- ments still pending in this federal district are now in agreement and the result will be apparent to the govern- meat when the next case against the Standard Oil company is called for trial. No one will admit openly the organ- {zation of this alliance, but it is evl- denced in secret conferences held in the offices of the Standard Oll com- pany in the Commercial National bank building and by the half hearted de- nials of the attorneys. The understanding sald to have been reached is that In all future trials arising over the Standard Ofl re- bates the railroad officers will contest the right of the government to make them testify and furnish the com- pany’s books as evidence as long as possible. WOMAN'S PLEA DENIED. Alleged Defrauder of India Habeas Corpus. Helena, Mont., Aug...—Helen Plerce Grey, the young woman arrested on a charge of defrauding the Indlans, must remain in jall until fall or furnish ball, United States Judge Hunt hav- ing denled her application for a writ of habeas corpus. Miss Grey, who 18 comely and quite prepossessing, came West to write an Indian story for an Eastern magazine and also as the representative of an Omaha press bureau and upon return. ing East made disclosures to Pres- ident Roosevelt and Secretary Gar- fleld of alleged robbery of the Indians, grafting and the like on the part of government and state officials, rail- road men and live stock interests. Investigation was Instituted, which resulted in her charges belng proved groundless. She was then arrested on the charge mentioned. She admits having taken $450 from the Indlans, but says they knew it was for expense money to right their alleged wrongs with the chief officlals at Washington. INJUNCTION IS DENIED. Manufacturer Objects to Kansas Pure Food Law. Kansas City, Aug. }.—Judge Smith McPherson, in the United States dis- trict court here, has refused to grant a temporary restraining order to prevent the enforcement of the Kansas stock food inspection law. The injunction was asked for by Marion W. Bavage of the International Stock Food com- pany of Minnesota. Mr. Savage in his petition alleged that the new law, which went into effect July 1, is unconstitutional be- cause it interferes with the Interstate commerce regulations; that It de- prives owners of their property with- out due process of law and discrim- Inates against non-residents. CAUSES LOSS OF $750,000 immensge Mining Plant Near Colorado 8prings Destroyed. - Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. |i— Three-fourths of the Golden Cycle Mining company’s $1,000,000 reduc- tlon plant, located in the foothills south of Colorado City, has been de- stroyed by fire. Loss estimated at $760,000. The fire origineted in the roasting rooms and spread rapidly to other bulldings, which cover an area of ten acred. Laok of water and inadequate fire fighting facllities made the work of the firemen very difficult and it was only by herolc efforts that the fire was finally brought under control. Refused Thirty-seven fyelght cars standing on sidings near the mills also were con- sumed. The plant formerly was known as the Telluride mills, owned by Eastern eapitallsts, and was involved in the millmen’s strike which terminated in the Cripple Creek difficulty. Shortly after the strike the mills closed down and were taken over by J. T. Milliken of Ilinols and - assoclates, -who re- opened the plant and made extensive improvements to its capital. The mill was the largest cyanide plant in the ‘West. It has been in operation but & few weeks. IN BED WITH A CORPSE. Kentusky Rditor Put In Wrong Room by Hotel Clerk. Junction City, Ky, Aug. Y—Major James Morton, editor of the Harda- man Free Press, unwittingly went to bed with a corpse in Junetion City. He had missed his train and, going into the hotel, asked for a room.

Soon a young man and 8 woman came {n and took seats near an open window. The major thought the pro- oedure strange, but sald nothing Listening to what they said he heard & remark about sitting up 'with the dead. T he rem¢mbered that his bedmate had not moved and reschias over touched hiy hand, With a yell the major jumped up with a gheet over him and rushed out of the room, Belleving that the oorpse had come to life the two watch- ers broke for anmother door and ahl met in the office of the hotel for ex- planation: DARROW MAY BE DROPPED Haywood and Others Desire to Retain Richardson.

Johnson of the prosecution and Attor- ney Schielsinger of the defense, dur- ing the examination of a juror, called each other rogues and indulged In a one-minute fist fight. Though the alr for a moment was full of fists neither Mr. Johnson nor Mr. Schielsinger was hurt. The only one to suffer physically from the clash was Attorney W. H. Cook, who by getting too close to the combatants was accidentally struck on the nose by Mr. Schielsinger. After the combatants had been sep- arated both apologized to the court. Mr. Johnson was fined $25 by Judge Dunne, who held that Johnson had called Schielsinger a rogue first and that he had thereby started the fight. GERMAN RAIL- DISASTER.

Mr. Alley had been a member of the exchange since 1878. Our JLost Sense. One. of the greatest discoveries of physiology is that we once had six senses. What the lost sense was no one knows, and probably no one will ever know, but that our forefathers possessed it there is mo doubt, for the remains-of that part of the brain in which it resided are still to be seen in any ome of us. These remains are slmply a small and now perfectly useless little mass of brain substance called the ‘pituitary body. It consists of two tiny little oval lobes joined together and lying in a little cavity of the skull, strangely named the sella turclca and situated over and behind the nose. It i8 quite possible that it may have enabled our forefathers to see in the dark before lamps and can- dles were invented, or it may have placed them in communion with ghosts and fairfes; or it may have been an organ that enabled them to go home In a bee line when they lost their way in the primeval forests. On the other hand, 1t s possible that it was a bad substitute for vislon or smell or hear- ing and died out when the improved sense organ developed. Caused the First Coolness.

Joacker, who was reading the paper, “Another poor wretch has been given .a life sentence at hard labor,” Said Mrs, Joncker, who was embroid- ering blue roses: “Probably he de- serves it. What is he guilty of?" “Fraud and no visible means of sup- port. He obtained clothes and a fine turnout with no money and nothing collectible. He scems to be larger and stronger than most of that class, yet it Is plain that he has never done a tap of work, though he has managed to live well so far. But the poor fel- low takes his sentence hard and cries piteously, protesting his innocence.” “The wretch! He must have dealt ‘with perfect fools!” “No; his victim is our own friend, Jack Smith.” b “That clever lawyer! Do read to me all about it!” “Born to Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, a twelve pound boy.”—Bohemian. “Shouting.” Early Australian gold diggers made many contributions to the slang of that commonwealth. One of these ‘was “shouting,” or standing drinks for everybody within hall, a practice of which the lucky digger was very fond, To refuse to drink with a digger who had “struck it rich,” or turned up a big nugget, was a deadly insult. A critic quotes from J. F. Hogan’s “His- tory of the Irish In Australia:” “Shout- ing was at one time almost universal 'To shout in:a public house means to insist on everybody present, friends and strangers allke, drinking at the shouter’s expense. It frequently hap- pens that each one ‘shouts’ in succes- sion.” The Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta stone was found in 1799 by a French engineer officer in an ex- cavation made near Rosetta. It has an Inscription In three different lan- guages, the hieroglyphic, "the demotic and the Greek. It was erected 195 B. O. In honor of Ptolemy Epiphanes be- cause he remitted the dues of the priest- Iy body. The great value of the Roset- ta stone lles in the fact that it fur- 'nished the key whereby the Egyptian hieroglyphics were deciphered. o A Poor Compliment.
