OBSERVATIONS. "By Doe.”] Money may buy a house but not a happy home. The peekaboo waists in show win- dows look cool. But nobody censures the actor whose wife supports him. The prosperity of a fool may be either a reward or a penalty. Where there is smoke there is someone or something smoking. Even the man who lives upright isn’t apt to die in that position. Many a man who toots his own horn imagines that he is the whole band. Its’ a good deal easier to get engaged than it is to get disen- gaged. A married woman who says she wishes she were single again is the first to look for No 2 as soon as she becomes a widow. ONCE CLOSE TO KAISER. Prince zu Eulenberg Formally Placed Under Arrest. Berlin, May ,—Prince Philip zu Eulenberg has been placed under ac- tual arrest. The crown prosecutor took this step as a result of the testi- mony given by two men at the prince’s bedside to the effect that Prince zu Eulenberg had been gnilty of wrongful actions wita them twenty-five years ago. Prince zu Eulenberg was involved in the court scandal in Berlin that grew out of the charges brought by Maximilian Harden, editor of Die Zu- kunft, last summe At the second Harden trial the court declared that all the charges made by Harden were absolutely without foundation. After the conclusion of the Harden case the public prosecutor started proceedings against Prince zu Eulenberg and the arrest is the outcome. The prince was taken into custody at his castle at Liebenberg and brought in an ambulance automobile forty miles to the Charity hospital, ‘where he was detained pending a fur- ther investigation of a charge of per- Jury made against him. The prince’s arrest is taken to mean the irretriev- able ruin of this brilliant man, who ‘was at one time a confidential friend of Emperor William. The prince had been nearer to his majesty during the greater part of his reign than any other German subject. He might have been chancellor of the empire if he had not refused the responsibilily incident to this post. This he did pos- sibly because cf stories of secret mis- conduct that have long been circu- lated against him, so much so that he has lived on the brink of disclcsure for the past ten years. He voluntarily gave up the position of German am- bassador at Vienna in 1902 because, as was commonly gossiped at the time, a group of his enemies threat- ened him with exposure. As the prince in ihe second Harden trial at Berlin swore to his complete innocence of the practices insinuated by Harden in Die Zukunft the present action against him is based upon the charge of perjury. Newton’s Telescope. Newton's telescope is a clumsy look- Ing instrument, nine Inches in length, two Inches in aperture and capable of magnifying thirty-eight times. It was entirely made by Newton himself, who first exhibited it before the Royal so- clety In 1671, and more than 100 years later his successor in'the presidency of the soclety laid before George III. Sir ‘Willlam Herschel’'s scheme for mak- Ing a telescope on Newton’s plan, to be forty feet in length and four feet In CREW FINALLY SAVED Taken Off Wrecked Ship After Hope Was Abandoned. BIG VESSEL A TOTAL LOSS Went Ashore More Than a Week Ago and Is Pounded to Pieces by Storm Just When Wreckers Believed the Vessel Could Be Floated. New York, May )—Seventy-two men who for more than twenty-four hours had been facing death in the raging sea near Fire island were res- cued from the crumbling hulk of the big German ship Peter Rickmers. The rescue was effected after one of the most trying experiences the lifesavers on this exposed coast had ever been called upon to face. No less than a dozen times hope of saving the men on the doomed ship was all but aban- doned and it was only the easing of the gale and terrific sea that made rescue possible. Fortunately mnot a man was lost and it is believed that not one of them suftered any per- manent harm as a result of their long fight against death. The great steel ship, one of the finest sailing vessels that ever rode the sea, is a total wreck. Her bow and stern have been completely torn off by the waves, her masts were ripped out, her deckhouses and bridge swept away and she is full of water. She is lying far back on the bar and it is unlikely even that any effort will be made to tow her to deep water again. The Rickmers struck the sandbar about ten miles from Fire island April 30 while bound out from New York for Europe. At first it was believed that she would be Fioated Without Difficulty, but as the high wind continued and she drove farther and farther on the shelving bar her position became serious. Even then, when the wind decreased, it was believed that she would be floated without serious dam- age after a portion of her cargo of case oil had been jettisoned. A large force of wreckers were set at the task and excellent progress was being made up to last Tuesday night, when a great storm broke on the coast. The wind increased so rapidly in force and the sea assumed such proportions that the wrecking tugs which had been standing by were forced to flee for their own safety, leaving behind on the ship thirty-nine salvagers who had been working on the cargo and thirty-three of the crew of the Rick- mers. As the storm increased the waves drove the big vessel stcadily back on the bar. One by cze her masts went by the board and, surging over the crumbling hulk, threatened to sweep every living thing on hoard into the sea. Lifesavers on the beach sent lines to the Rickmers, but be- fore a single man could be hauled ashore the ropes parted. The storm continued to grow in intensity and the plight of the men on the wrecked ship became more desperate. Five crews from lifesaving stations were on the beach, but surfboats were useless in the sea and the only hope was in sub- sidence of the storm or the shooting of lines over the ship. EXTENDS OUTSIDE SCHOOL Power of Teachers Defined by Wis- consin Suprems Court. Madison, Wis., May .—The supreme court has, in an opinion, said that “school authorities have the power to suspend pupils for an offense commit- ted outside of school hours and not in the presence of the teacher which has a direct and immediate tendency to influence the conduct of the other pu- pils while in the schoolroom; to set at naught proper discipline of the school; to impair the authority of the teacher and to bring them into ridi- cule and contempt. Such power is essential to the preservation of order, decency, decorum and good govern- ment within the public schools.” The opinion was on a case in con- nection with a poem, written at home by two schoolgirls of St. Croix county, which cast reflection on the govern- ment of the county school which they attended. TRUST COMPANY ASSIGNS Cleveland Concern Has Liabilities of $1,700,000. Cleveland, May .—The Euclid Ave- nue Trust company of this city has made an assignment to the Cleveland Trust company in -the insolvency court. No statement of assets or lia- bilities was given. The last statement issued by the concern gave the assets as $1,700,000, liabilities $1,700,000. J. P. Madigan, county treasurer, is the president of the bank. It is stated that the bank was the only financial Institution in the city that had to be assisted by the associated banks dur- ing the recent panic. It is believed the depositors will be paid in full. It ks probable, however, that the stock- holders will suffer more or less loss. Bryan Men May Fight. St. Paul, May .—With no chance of victory in the Democratic state con- vention, Minnesota Bryan men may hold a convention of their own and send a contested delegation to the na- tional convention at Denver. That will put it up to the convention, and there is a possibility of the conven- tion’s seating the Bryan delegates from Minnesota. METCALF REVIEWS FLEET Forty-six Vessels Gathered in Harbor of San Francisco. San Francisco, May i.—Secretary of the Navy Metcalf, on the quarter deck of the trim -little gunboat Yorktown, reviewed the forty-four assembled ships of the combined Atlantic and Pacific fleets at anchor in Oakland fairway; of the harbor. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, Who is closing his last day of comiand, was not able to 8o aboard -his old flagship, as he had aperture.—Pall Mall Gazette. —_— iirasegd The admiral” was miuch fatigued by his long ride in the land parade. The day of the review was brilliant with sunshine and the harbor was crowded with launches and excursion crhft. Each ship in the four long lines of the anchorage' ground was decorated with dressing lines of vari- ous colored flags. As the Yorktown steamed out of the Oakland mole with the secretar white anchored flag at the truck the ships began a salute of seventeen guns in unison. Then as the little gunboat turned down the first lane between the battleships of the Second Atlantic squadron and the armored cruisers of the Pacific fleet | the ships began to fire individual sa- Iutes as the reviewing boat cleared their after gangways. Running south to the end of the first two lines near- est the Oakland shore the Yorktown turned to the north, further in toward San Franeisco, and passed up between the battleships of the First Atlantic squadron and the torpedo flotillas. After the review the flag and com- manding officers were received on board the Yorktown, which cast an- chor near the Connecticut. CONTINUES TO IMPROVE. Condition of Former President Grover Cleveland. . Lakewood, N. J, May )—*“Mrs. Cleveland says that her husband con- tinues to improve in health and that his condition is in no way alarming,” said Manager William Becker of the Lakewood hotel, when asked as to the condition of the former president, whe has been ill for several weeks. Mr. Becker added that considering the depressing weather conditions the entire party with the former presi- dent were in the best of spirits. When asked if Dr. Bryant was still here, Mr. Becker stated that he was, and that there was never a time when there ‘was not a physician in the hotel. IN ACCEPTING INVITATION, Bryan and Johnson Approve Object of White House Conference. ‘Washington, May .—The confer- ence of the governors of states look- ing to the conservation of the natural resources of the country, which will take place at the White House from the 13th to the 15th, inclusive, of this month, is strongly approved by two of the Democratic candidates for the presidency, William J. Bryan and Governor Johnson of Minnesota, and by Associate Justices Harlan and Peckham of the supreme court of the United States. Their views as to the importance of the subject are con- tained in letters sent to President Roosevelt in response to his letter in- viting them to attend the conference. These letters have been made public. “I greatly appreciate your kind in- vitation,” says Mr. Bryan, “and shall take pleasure in attending the con- ference on the conservation of natural resources. I am, I beg to assure you, in hearty sympathy with the purpose of the conference and I have no doubt that the discussion of the subject will be helpful to us all.” Governor Johnson’s letter reads: “To assure you that I heartily agree with your conclusion that the con- servation of the natural resources of our country presents a problem de- manding the best thought of our times is superfluous. We have been exploit- ing our resources with no thought of the morrow and the claims of poster- ity upon us should certainly be taken into account.” Cannot Stand Notoriety. New York, May - .—The richest wo- man in the world—Mrs. Hetty Green —has announced that she will give up her luxurious apartments in the Plaza hotel. It was not the cost, she said, but “the dreadful notoriety” that has followed her removal from her simple Hoboken flat to a princely suite in the Plaza. House Agrees to Army Bill. Washington, May .—The house has agreed to the conference report on the army appropriation bill, which now goes to the president. Of.the $7,000,- 000 provided for increased pay enlist- ed men will receive approximately $5,000,000. Technical Swearing. The late Sir John Millais was a very keen fisherman. He used to tell a story of an old man who was his at- tendant during a day’s sport In the north of England. The old man was full of local gossip and small s¢andal, and where the natural supply failed him he was clearly able to manufac- ture enough of his own to go on with. “I were out with the bishop yester- day,” said the old man, referring to a popular church dignitary, who is also a good fisherman. *“Ah,” replied Mil- lals, “he’s a good man!” “Well,” con- tinued the old fellow, “’e may be, but ‘e do swear a bit when ’e’s fishin'” “Oh, nonsense!” replied Millais. “I don’t believe that” The old man in- sisted that he was right, however. “I'll give you an instance,” he sald. “I was standin’ ’longside o’ the bishop, same as 1 might be aside o’ you, and ’e’d got a big fellow at the end of ’is line that was pretty nigh pullin’ ’im off "is feet, and I turns to ‘is lordship and I says, *’E pulls — ’ard, don’t he? and the bishop says, ‘Yes, ‘e do.’ ‘Well, now, ain’t that swearin’?’—Lon- don M.

BURIED IN THE SAME GRAVE Remains Believed to Be Those of a Man and Woman and Were Under | Ground for Probably Two Years. | Crowds Flock to Scene of Crimes. Laporte, Ind., May - .—Two more | bodies have been unearthed at the | Gunness farm in a grave near the | spot where three of the four bodies were exhumed Wednesday. The first to be turned up is undoubtedly that of & grown male and the second is be- lieved to be the bones of a woman. The rain having ceased the diggers ‘were put to work at an early hour. A soft spot under a pile of refuse was selected 2s i{ne most promising place to begin operations. The digger had not been long at his task when he turned up a spadeful of bones and be- fore 9 o’clock the body, that of a full grown male, had been entirely ex- posed. It is believed that the body has been underground about two ! years. The second skeleton was found_in the same place and directly undel neath the first, with an intervening i’ space of earth. The bones are muck smaller and thought to be those of a woman, Thus far only three of the eleven bodies have Dbeen identified. The known victims are: Jennie Olsen, the sixteen-year-old foster daughter ‘of | Mrs. Gunness; Andrew Helgelein of Mansfield, 3. D., and Ole O. Budsberg of Iola, Wis. | Two female corpses and those of six | males yet remain unidentified. De- spite the searching investigations of { the sherift and state’s attorney there is as yet almost no clue to the identity of these remains. Their task is com- plicated by the fact that the bodies have been in the ground for at leastl eighteen months. | The news that digging operations were to be resumed brought a large crowd of the curious and sightseers to | the scene. As early as 7 a. m. bug- gies, hacks, wagons and all sorts of conveyances started for the farm and | by & o'clock more than a thousand people gathered at the sceme of the ! crimes. | Farmers from the surrounding coun- ! try places, merchants, clerks and townspeople from adjacent towns and | villages and visitors from far a\vay, cities made up the crowd that morbid- ly watched the diggers as they monot- onously turned over the earth. HIS DEATH WELL TIMED. Mrs. Gunness’ First Husbhand Expired | Day Before Insurance Lapsed. Chicago, May .—A sinister fact, in connection with the death of Mads Sorenson, the first husband: of Mrs. Gunness, was revealed when if be- came known that he died just one day before an insurance policy which he had been carrying for some years would have expired and two days after a second policy which he intend- ed to substitute for the first became| operative. i Sorenson had for some years car- ried insurance for §2,000 in a fraternal organization known as the Independ- ent Order of Mutual Aid, but, deter- mining to drop this, he had taken out CROSS AND NEVOUS. Bemidji Sufferers from Kidney Troubles Ofen Become Very Irritable. i i Cross, irritable people—the sort who fuss and mope and worry over triflles—are not always to blame for the annoyances they give to others. Frequently these traits are but the effects of kidney poisons on brain ‘and nerves. Uric acid that escapes the kidneys | § irritates nerve centers and’ vital organs— causes backache, theu- matic and neuralgic pains—keeps you languid, all tired out—leads to Bright's disease and diabetes. Stop the trouble in the- beginning with Doan’s Kidney Pills. 'Twill cure the kidneys and remove the cause of all these ills. Recommen- ded by friends and neighbors in Bemidji. Mrs. Ella Barrett, - living: on Sixth & American Sts., Bemidji, Minn., says: ¢‘After using Doan’s Kidney Pills I am well pleased with the results. At the timeI begin their use, I was very nervous and at times had dull pains in the small part of my back accom- Ppanied by a dull aching across my kidneys. These organs did not seem to act properly and caused me much discomfort. I decided to try a kidney remedy and procur- ed a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at The Owl Drug Store. In a short time I began to feel a great deal better, and am pow much stronger and \ny enegry has returned. I have no hesitancy in recommeding Doan’s Kidney Pills to others.” For sale by all dealers.

Minneapolis, May '—A careful search of the marriage license records here for many years back fails to re- veal any license issued for the mar- riage of Belle Gunness of Laporte, Ind. Minneapolis police have, how- ever, veceived from Laporte charred photographs bearing the mark of a Minneapolis photographer. The like- nesses have been destroyed by fire, but are believed to be those of the woman and her husband, who met here and were married in Chicago. ASKS $100,000 DAMAGES. Woman Sues Wealthy Chicago Man for Breach of Promise. Chicago, May . .—R. J. Gunning, the millionaire advertising man, has been sued for breach of promise to marry by Miss Marie' Smith, who asks the municipal court to award her $100,000 damages. She alleges that she has lived with Mr. Gunning as his wife for nearly four years and that he has repeatedly promised to marry her, but has constantly postponed the date of the wedding, finally abandoning her altogether. Conspiracy is charged by Mr. Gun- ning to be behind the young woman’s step and he denies that he ever had the slightest idea of marrying her. He says that she is lending herself to the scheme of unserupulous attor- neys in an effort to force him to part with a large sum. Ocean Steamers in Collision. ¢ Portland, Eng., May ..—The British steamer Vatiana, from London for Cal- cutta, has been in collision with the steamer Brazilla of the Hamburg- American line at a point twenty miles south of here. The Vatiana has re turned here with her stern broken and other damage. The collision oc ourred in. a dense fog. The Number Fourteen In France. So far as France is concerned, it Is the number fourteen that has played a conspicuous and generally portentous part in her history. On May 14, 1554, the Rue de la Ferronnerie was enlarged by order of Henri IL, and four times fourteen years later Henrl IV. was as- | sassinated there by Ravaillic—namely, ' on May 14, 1610. Henri had lived four times fourteen years, fourteen weeks and four times fourteen days—1. e, fif- ty-six years and five months. Then Henri’s son, Louis XIII., died May 14, 1643 (the same day and month as his fathers). And 1643 added together equals fourteen, just as 1553 (the year of the birth of Henri IV.) equals four- teen. Louis XIV ascended the throne 1643, which added together equals fourteen and similarly the year of his death (1715) equals. A Thirst For Knowledge.

CASHIER UNDER ARREST. Pittsburg Bank Official Accused of Big 8hortage. Pittsburg, May ).—Charged with the embezzling of $429,000 of the bank’s funds Willlam Montgomery, cashier of the Allegheny National bank for over twenty years, has been arrested. He was arraigned before United States Commissioner Lindsay and held for the federal grand jury under a bond of §$50,000, which was fur- nished. Mr. Montgomery has always been prominent in politics and was a close friend of the late Senator Quay. He was also prominent socially. News of his arrest came as a shock {o his acyuaintances and has caused a sen- sation. The alleged defalcation was discov- ered and the complaint filed by Na- tienal Bank Kxaminer William L. Folds. Soon after the close of bank- ing hours the warrant was issued and the arrest followed. According to Examiner Folds the peculatiors have gone on for several years and were covered up on the occasion of each visit of the exam- iners by means of a cashier’s check. Bxaminer Folds expressed the belief, after making the charges, that Mont- gomery had used the funds of the bank to assist friends who were in tight places financially. Those who know the cashier feel positive that he did not personally profit by his pecu- lations. The financial standing of th@ bank is nowise affected by the defalcation, as it is in a position to bear the loss without embarrassment. ASSUMES ENTIRE GUILT. Detailed Confession of Butte (Mont.) Dynamiter. Butte, Mont., May .—ln a detailed confession Lewis Ferris, the young Italian who dynamited the Burlington train near Bird a week ago, in which three men lcst their lives, tells of breaking the lock on the powder house of the West Olive branch mine with a stone, stealing forty-five siicks of dynamite and placing the entire amount on the tracks, Ferris watched the explosion which wrecked the train and then :xssisted| the conductor cf the train in summon- | ing aid. Later he piloted the police | about the rens, of the_e—~losion and to the powder house, explaining how he stole the powder 2nd his method of wrecking the train. His story con- cerning the theft of the powder has been corroborated. . Ferris declares that he alone is to blame for the dynamiting and claims that he was intoxicated at the time. From evidence in the possession of the police it is believed that Ferris attempted the holdup of the North Coast limited of the Northern Pacific about ten days ago at Welchs Spur, just east of Butte.

Pants and Trousers. Everybody talks well when he talks in the way, he likes, the way he can’t help, the way he never thinks of. The rest is effort and pretense. The man who says “trousers” because he likes to say it and the man who says “pants” because he likes to say it are both good fellows with whom a frank soul could fraternize, but the man who says “trousers” when he wants to say “pants” Is a craven and a truckler, equally hateful to honest culture and wholesome ignorance. He belongs In the same sordid category with the man who wears tight shoes and high col- lars that are a torment to the flesh, who eats olives that he doesn’t relish and drinks uncongenial clarets in iml- tation of his genteel neighbor in the brownstone front.—Atlantic. Book Evolution. “Books” have progressed from the days when they were only woodén rods or bits of bark. For the derivation which connects “book” directly with “beech,” both having been “boc” in Anglo-Saxon, is the favorite one. “Buchstaben,” the German word for letters of the alphabet, means literally “beech staves.”” Many book words go back to such vegetable origin. The Latin “liber,” a book, whence comes our “library,” was properly the inner bark or rind:of a tree, especially of papyrus. .The: Greek “biblon,” whence “Bible” and,/fbibliophile,” meant much the same ‘thing. A “codex” was a block of wood, and “leaf” is obvious. Does not Color the Hair Destroys AYER'S HAIR VIGOR andruff Just to remind you of the importance of sav- ingyourteeth. That’s my business. DR. G.
