SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— e A New York man who recently returned from Europe with an array of imported gowns for his wife had to dig up $12,000 duty. That’s one way of getting after a man who Wild Animals and Medicine. A writer in the British Medical Jour- nal thinks that an interesting essay might be written on the addition to medical remedies made by animals. It is said that it is to dogs we owe the knowledge of the fever abating prop- erties of bark, while to the hippopota- maus is attributed the use of bleeding. The story as told in Philemon Hol- lond’s translation of Pliny is as fol- lows: “The river-Horse hath taught physitions one deuice in that part of their profession called Surgerie, for he finding himself ouer-grosse and fat by reason of his high feeding so contin- ually gets forth of the water to the shore, hauing-spied afore where the reeds and rushes haue bin newly cut, trades away from home. Aitkin Age. Party politics are queer and you must admit the truism. A man is in the saddle today and tomorrow he is dethroned and he does not fully realize the fall until his friends tell it to him and then he has doubts and sometimes they are well founded. His stock is on the market but no bidders are there and as soon as he realizes that he is a back number it is to late to hedge and then he has a story on ice in cold storage to tell his grandchildren about how he ran and was defeated by a disreputable crowd of hoodlums as ever disgraced a barroom. It all began with some- one asking him to go for the office and he imagined a thousand voiccs were talking at the same time and all addressing him, bnt he wakes to the tune of all his money and reputation gone and no more offered on the bargain counter. Granite Falls Tribune. OBSERVATIONS. IBy A. G. Rutledge.] Cold cash warms a marble heart, but the effect is only temporary. Women frequently jump at con- clusions that are anything but alarm- ing. Sometimes a woman cries over her inability to find something to laugh at. The man who marries a nervous ‘woman soon discovers what nerve orces really is. When the other fellow offers to compromise it means that you have the best of it. ‘The carly bird may gooble the worm, but it doesn’t look like a square deal for the worm.

In fact, they smoke far finer stuff than the average rich man. Yet all this good tobacco ‘costs the government nothing. The smugglers of England pay for the smoking of the criminal insane. It is from her confiscated smuggled tobacco that England fills the tobacco boxes of Perth and Broadmoor. T Not Her Abode.

The following Illustrates Louls Phi- lippe’s idea of England and the Eng- lish. He one day asked Hugo if he had ever been In England and on re- celving a negative reply continued: “Well, when you do go—for you will go—you wlill see how strange it Is. It resembles France in nothing. Over there are order, arrangement, symme- try, cleanliness, well mowed lawns and profound silence on the streets. The passersby are as serlous and as mute as specters. When, being French and allve, you speak in the street these specters look back at you and murmur with an inexpressible mixture of grav- ity and disdain, ‘French people!’ When I was In London I was walking arm In arm with my wife and sister. We were conversing in a not too loud tone of voice, for we are well bred persons, you know, yet all the passersby, bour- geols and men of the people, turned to gaze at us, and we could hear them growling behind us: ‘French people! French people! "—“Memoirs of Vietor Hugo.” Rossini and the Drum. ‘When Rossinl’s “Gazza Ladra” was performed for the first time the drum in the orchestra not only excited much comment, but caused the enemles of the composer, whom they denounced as a “foolish inventor of unmusical novelties,” to threaten Rossinl with bodily violence, Omne young man, a pupil of Rolla’s, gained admission to the composer’s presence and declared that art had been so violently outraged by the invention that he must kill the offender. He drew a weapon, but con- sented to listen to argument, He had been a soldier, and when the composer asked him why there should not be a drum where there are soldlers he sheathed his knife. “Promise me, though,” be sald, “that you will put no drums in your future music.” Ros- sini promised, but forgot. \ LU Sy A young man in a Rufry Wwent through the left side of a pair of swinglng doors in the senate wing of the capitol at Washington last session and almost knocked over a senator who was about to push through the right side. The young man apologized profusely. “I'm very sorry—I didn’t know I was —I am in a great hurry.” “That’s all right, son,” said the sen- ator. “But let me glve you a plece of advice about going through doors like these. Always go through on the right side and turn to the right. Then if you meet anybody coming through and bump into him you needn’t apolo- gize. He'll be a durned fool, and it ‘won't be necessary.

A MANY HURLED FROM BED e Bomb Explosion in Qourt of Fashion- able Apartment Housp, New York, July 16.—A dynamite bomb, exploding with terrific force in the areaway of a fashionable apart- ment house in West One Hundred and Fortieth street, hurled scores of the occupants from thelr beds, shattered many windows and threw the tenaamts Into & panic. A huge hole was torn in the cement flooring of the court where the bomb went off and consid- erable other damage was done to the building. - There were forty-two families living In the apartment house, but as far as the police could learn none of them had received threatening letters and the reason for the bomb throwing is much of a mystery. The only clue that the police have is one furnished by a bellboy of a nearby apartment Bouse. He said that immediately be- fore the explosion he was sitting on the fropt steps and saw three men pass, They were carrylng g small Hurdle and walked in the direction of ‘Watts court, where the bomb later ex- ploded. The boy said he did not see the men enter the bullding, ag a pass- ing milk wagon shut, oft his.view, but & moment later he heard the crash of the explosion, the force of which threw him from his chair, and an in- stant later three men ran swiftly down the street and disappeared, The block in which the explosion occurred 1s occupled by & number of high class apartment houses. Detec- tlves working on the case say they have po clue to the perpetratorg and that if it proves to be an attack by members of the Black Hand it will be the first of the kind in New York directed toward the wealthier class of residents. MISSING SOME MONTHS. Mrs. Clifford W. Hartridge Dles at Pitteburg. Pittsburg, July 16.—An all night in- vestigation, which continues, has dis- closed very little concerning the death of Mrs. Clifford W. Hartridge, wife of the New York attorney who was the former personal counsel for Harry K, Thaw. Mrs. Hartridge died in the Homeopatbic hospital ang, it is said, cerebro meningitis was the cause of hey death, From all the squrces where details of the woman’s whereaboyts since dis- appearing from New York several months ago ang her death in this city would naturally be known a strict silence is maintained, Her body was removed from the hospital to the undertaking rooms of H. Samson, from where it was shipped a short time later to the home of Mrs. Hartridge’s parents in Canton, N. Y. Mrs. Russell, mother of Mrs. Hart- ridge, and Robert Russell, a brother of the dead woman, came here from Canton, N, Y. upon learning of the woman’s death, They made the ar- rangements to have the body shipped home. WEALTHY TANNER DEAD. WIySTory — wwirGue - Grosse (Wis.) Man. La Crosse, Wis., July 16.—With a bullet in his heart Albert Platz, a rich tanner, was found dead in his chair at his office. A revolver was on the floor beside him, a stained swab was clenched in one hand, while the other preased 8 plece of rag into the wound a8 though to stop the blood. This clrquigstance gave the case the appearancé of an aceldent, but there are other incidents which have led the police to a thorough investigation of murder end suicide theories. The Wweapon was more than two feet away when the shot was fired, there heing no powder marks. It would have been practically impossible for, him to have heg the revolver in this position. latz was president of a' Mexican Plantation company, in-which the orig- inal investors, including himself, sus- talned heavy financial losses.

New Orleans, July 16.—Surrounded by nearly a thousand rebels and with only 500 soldiers as a guard, half of whom are ready to desert at a mo- ment’s notice, Ceiba, one of the prin- cipal ports on the eastern shore of Spanish Honduras, is expected to fall into the hands of revolutionists at any time. This was the story brought to New Orleans by Elias Maestri, a merchant of Ceiba, who was the sole passenger aboard the steamship Jos- eph Vaccaro, “President Davila is making a plucky; but what seems to be a los- ing fight,” gald Mr. Maestri. — Youth Killed by Cavein.

HANGS FROM BRIDGE. Car Narrowly Escapes Plunge Onto Rallroad Tracks Beneath. Cleveland, July 16—Five persons were injured, none fatally, and the Uves of forty passengers were jeopar- dized when an East Fifty-fifth street qar left the tracks on the East Forty- ninth street bridge over the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, plunged through the railing and hung sus- pended over the brink.

Every win- dow was broken and the glass was showered over the passengers. So fer had the wrecked car gone over the edge of the bridge that it required the services of two wrecking cars and a passenger engine to pull it back on the track.
