Ea Ga rane Pie, Ne EX-SECRETARY MORTON IS VERY SARCASTIC. Says That the Sending of Seeds by| Congressman Is a Fraud. | Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 6.—J. Ster- ling Morton, former Secretary of Agriculture, departed for Mexico this | mor liter remaining in this city over night. Said Mr. Morton F. D. Coburn is perhaps the best equipped imain for Secretary of Agri- eulture that lives in the West. When it comes to the office of Seeretary of Agriculture, its functions are purely educational. The sending out of seeds by Congressmen is a fraud and should be no longer tolerated. Why, the Congressmen might just as well send out bulls and agricultural im- plements for all the good it does. ‘see that a bill has been introdue- edfortheabsorption of allseed stores and seed farms by the Government, It is wrong. [fit goes on much fur- ther, Congressmen will be sending out desicated potatoes and canned peas to their constituents, “You ean go in any secondhand store in Washington and buy seeds or Government documents at a price far less than the actual cost to the Government, and then, as | said be- fore, the distribution of seeds by the Government puts pauper seeds in eompetition with legitimate seed- houses.” THREE RECLUSES MURDERED. Robbery Believed to Have Been Motive * im Each Case, Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 6.—Upon the discovery to-day of the dead body of George Ziramerman, a Ger- man farmer, 63 years of age, at his home near Morris station, six miles west of Argentine, Kan., his head having been crushed and the body tying in a pool of blood which was frozen, the Wyandotte county offi- cers coucluded that Zimmerman and two other aged men, all recluses, have been murdered in Wyandotte county since the first of the yearby the same persons, and in each case. it is believ- ed the motives have been robbery. Zimmerman had been dead more than a week, He was living alone and kept asum of money in an old trunk The murderers manea thor- ough search of the premises. Wednesday of last week the dead body of Thomas Carroll, an aged hermit, wasfound in a well at his home near Argentine. He had been dead nearly a month, and the coro- ner’s jury decided that he had been murdered. Two men anda woman are in Ar- gentine jail pending an investigation af the mysterious disappearance last. week of Noah Long, another aged recluse. VICTIMS OF LAUGHTER. ° Doctors Baflled by Strange Epidemic Among Young ‘People. Kankakee, Ill, February 6 —The young people of Wellington, in Iro- quois county, are suffering from an epidemic of laughter, which has baf- fled the doctors and has caused much distress. The first victim of the af- fliction was Miss Effie Hamilton, the £5 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. LM. Hamilton. She laughed un- ceasingly for four days, until her father, not knowing what else to do, dashed a glass of cold water in her face. The shock had the desired effect, but fora long time the girl was exceedingly weak from the strain of her four days of laughing. The second victim was Miss Rosa Botts, aged 15. She was taken much the same way as Miss Hamilton, but Ghe cold water cure had but little effect. The girl wax finally stopped but not until her condition had be- come alarming. The third victim is a young man Jobn Kimberlin, who laughed for almost a week, and then let upowing to his excessive weakness. The young people were all similarly affect- ed and during their hysterical attack were unable to eat or sleep, so the debiliating effect of their ailment can easily be understood. Youngers Not Pardoned. St. Paul, Minn., February 5.—The state board of pardons late this af- ternoon refused to grant the petition for an absolute pardon for James and Cole Younger and the two not- ed convicts will have to remain in . Minnesota, being now out of prison on parole, but limited to the state borders. { | ee ER ee BAR BS ES P.J. TYGARD, 3.C.CLARE, HON.J. 8. NEWBEBRY, President. Vice-Pres't.

He has followed his trade for years and some time ago his lungs became affected, A specialist brought from Wisconsin made an examina- tion and found the patient's throat and bronchial tubes full of short hairs, imbedded in the membrane. It is thought the hairs were inhaled while Teeter was at work, and the ir- ritation brought on tuberculosis. Mrs. Soflle Near Collapse. Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 6.—Word comes to-night from Butler to the effect that Mrs. Soffel, the accomp- lice of the Biddle brothers, is consid- erably worse. Her wound seems to be healing nicely, but she takes very little nourishment and ber mental condition is nearing collupse. Harry Biddle, the brother ef the dead men, who had their remains buried yesterday, says the graves will be protected indefinitely from vandals by armed guards. Must Cut Out the “Dreary Drivel.” A Philadelphia lawyer was one of the guests at the annual dinner of the Episcopalian Club in Boston the other evening, and bluntly told the assembled ministers that too much of the preaching heard in the pulpit nowadays is “dreary drivel,” and that too many of the preachers seem to be in the business, because they are “paid to holler.” He said it all so good naturedly that the assem- bled ministers, who perhaps thought they were not of that kind, applaud- ed him. When pain or irritation exists on any part of the body the application of Ballard’s Snow Liniment will give prompt relief. Price, 25 and 50 cts. —H. L. Tucker Three Attempts at Suicide. ~ErPaso, Tex, Feb. 6.—Count de Presboist, charged with false swear- ing, bigamy and seduction, for hav- ing eloped with a 17-year-old girl from Los Angeles, made three sepa- rate attempts to-day to commit sui- cide. Atthe jail he attempted to drown himself in a bathtub of water, and later by swallowing a broken neck ofa bottle. While up for a hearing before a justice of the peace his young bride handed him a pellet, which he swallowed, and in a few minutes fell prostrate to the floor. Several physicians were called, and after working on him for an hour suceeeded in saving his life. Made a Crime. Berlin, Feb. 6.—The authorities have decided to prosecute those who profess to cure by faith and sensa- tional trials are expected Many women are engaged in Chris- tiah science or “metaphysical cur- curing,” as it is called here. The sis- ters, Ida and Ubrette Schoen, Miss Brunner, the Americans, Mrs. Seal and Miss Leplow, and others gave clinics where they made lots of money. They declared they could direct the beams of God’s spirit upon their patients and thereby cure theni, pro- viding they would sin no more. The patients were compelled to buy the books of the American faith curist, Mrs. Eddy. The patients are numer- ous and belong principally to the educated classes. At the Victoria Lyceum Christian science was taught by Mrs. Seal and Miss Leplow. Mrs.-Alix von Cottais the director of the lyceum and the duke of Trachenburg, Prince von Hatsfeldt, chief of the government of the province of Silesia, is the presi- dent of the board of directors of the institution.

The full value of the stolen goods is not known. study by a Macedonian, who pre- tended that he wanted to present a petition. The assassin subsequently committed suicide by shooting him- self. It is possible that the motive of the assassin was to call attention to the Macedonian cause. The govern- ment has not given as open help to the Macedonian revolutionists as some of the extremists have wished. The object of the revolutionists is to free Macedonia from Turkey and unite it to Bulgaria.” M. Stambuloff, ex-premier of Bul- garia, was assassinated in Sofia in 1895, He had incurred strong hat- reds for his arbitrary conduct in of- fice, and the government attributed his assassination to his personal enemies. It is generally supposed that he was put out of the way b the Russian party, possibly with gov- ernment connivance. He was the greatest obstacle to Bulgarian recon- ciliation with Russia.

London, Feb, 4.—The British gov- ernment has replied to Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier, that if the Boers in the field desire to negotiate for peace, negotiations can be entered in- to, but only in South Africa. The British government adheres to itsin- tention not to accept the interven- tion of any foreign power. “If I Could Get Rid of this abominable cold,” exclaimed the sufferer, when the end of a spasm of ie gave him a chance to talk.

The Hague, Feb. -6.—The Boer delegates in Holland have issued a statement thanking the Dutch gov- ernment for its efforts toward bring- ing about peace in South Africa, and denying the British statement that they have had no instructions from South Africa since March, 1900. The delegates affirm that they possess plenary powers still in force, and de- clare that the reply of Great Britain to the Dutch note proves that the only object of the fornier country is the extermination of the Boer na- tien. — ; ‘ kee Indian countries, w! 800n permit the transfer of land titles to the whites, is an ideal trip for the home seeker and investor, mate, the undoubted continual development of oil gushers and’ dis- covery of rich veins of coal, offer an inviting prospect of healthy homes, i: and statehood enlightened civilization of the W The train service Frisco Kansas Ci tence of The St. Louis Mirror is a twenty-| eight page paper, in magazine form, edited by William Marion Reedy, as- sisted by a staff of contributorscom- prising the best writers and literary social, religious, scientific, financial, literary or artistic.
