Gentry was sent to the peni- tentiary from Maryville, Nodaway county, November BO, 1901, for re- eeiving stolen a. Her cousin eommitted the thett and placed the goods with her to keep for him. The jhief fled to Oklahoma and has never been apprehended, but the young p suffered for the deed. Alva ry at the time was a young wife husband was not implicated in crime. Two months after the young wile eset the prison threshold of the te’a reformatory she became a mother. Her baby, a giri, was tenderly cared for by the prison at- tendante and has become a pet of the female department. Mrs. E. J. Mackey, matron of the department, prevailed upon the Gov ernor to extend executive clemency to the young wile and mother and to-morrow she will go back to her husband with her baby. tn his letter stating his reason for the pardon, Governor Dockery says: “In my opinion this woman should be released without delay. Thepeni- tentiary is nota proper place for the eare and education of children, For ‘the sake of the children, therefore, if other_reason, the mother is rdoned.”” .

St. Joseph, Mo., Dec, 12.—Jobn Gea. Lee Waats Cuba Annexed, New York, Dec. 13.—General Fitz- hugh Lee, former consul general to Cuba, spoke last night at the Patrie club on “The United States und! Cuba.” V> said in part: “Prior t+ ‘he war with Spain, when exact conuttun of affairs that exist- ed there. I reported the rebellion, with all its bratalitities and horrors, and told him that it would continue for several generations if not brought to aspeedy end. Mr Cleveland gave no attention tomy reports. Thee were repeated attempts to assarsi nate me. Wherever I went I had to sit with my book to the wall and my hind on my six-shooter, I received twenty and thirty letters a day in which I was threatened with all man- ver of deaths. Some threatened to waylay and strangle me; others to string-me up to the nearest lamp post, and still others to tie me toa horse’s tail and drag me around the streets of Havana. .Cuba is well worthy the atteution of the American people. It is the tichest spot on God's green earth, No country can everrival Cuba in its products, Ifwe had not sacrificed wisdom for sentiment we would own Cuba to-day. When we did have Cuba, we should have held onto it. Cuba was never so well governed by Spain as she is to-day. General Lee advocates an increase of the navy because “in view of recent events we may be in deep water before we know it.” + Better Than a Gold Mine. Chicago, December 12.—Armed watchmen and a detail of police were summoned to-day to the offices of the George Lill Coal company to pre- vent demonstrations by people who vainly sought to buy anthracite coal. Twelve thousand tons consigned to the firm arrived a few days ago in three vessela, but the company refus- ed to sell to any one but old custom- ers and to them only in lots of half a ton each, Later the company stated the coal would be sold at 45 cents a bushel, purchasers to haul it themselv.s. At this rate the cargo, which cost the firm $50,000, will net $162,000. To Form Negro Republican Party. Selma, Ala., December 11.—Negroes from all portions of the state met to- day to form a colored Republican party. Resolutions were adopted, indorsing the action of President Roosevelt in not recognizing the “lily white” branch of the party. An address was issued to the negro vot: Democrats to allow them to register next week, when the registration books will be open for the last time. Camp Vicars Attacked.

Bs Le Naady Brothers Build Steerable Airship Which succeeds in the First ‘Lest «sade. It bas been known for some time past thi. the brothers LeBaudy and ap eby.ueer named Juilliott have been | coms. ucting a steerable balloon, but about the new tiying machine. A newspaper reporter now claims to have witnessed the first experiment with the new balloon, which he says oceurred at Robert LeBaudy’s country home, near Bonsieres, France, where the'airship was constructed. The bal- loon ascended to a height of about 20 yards, with two persons in the car, It was held down by ropes, and the mo- tor drove the airship against a stiff breeze. After maneuvers lasting half an hour, during which several circuits of the park where the experiment was conducted were made, the airship was replaced in its shed. Engineer Julli- ott, who had charge of the motor, said he was completely satisfied with the test, but declined to be inter+ viewed. The reporter described the LeBaudy balloon as similar in appear+ ance to, but twice the size of those of M. Santos-Dumont, It is 644% yards long and 12 yards in diameter, The ear is 5% yards long and can hold three persons. The propeller is driven by a motor of 40-horse power. The owners of the new airship are anxious to avoid publicity concerning it until it has made a trip to Paris and return, The Auto-Velo says that the Le- Baudy balloon, after being tried at a height of 20 yards, held by a rope, ascended to a height of about 80 yards, free of the rope, and made a circuit of the park. The airship then made an- other circuit at a height of 100 yards, and then two shorter flights over the park. In all the airship covered a dis« tance of a mile anda half. The bal- loon has a capacity of 2,284 cubic me- ters, i COEDUCATION IN COLLEGES. Equality League Nek vas Women Are a Stimulation to Make Y oung Men Study Harder, The Chicago — Political Equality league has attacked™ segregation in the colleges-in its meeting at the Chi cago Woman's club rooms in the Fine Arts building, Every speaker favored coeducation as the best indication of the advancement of modern thought, “What is most needed in our world is the association of men and women on the same intellectual plane,” said Mrs, Martha Foote Crow of the North- western university, “Women ought to have the same privileges as men, and it wuld hardly seem fair for seme of the ‘best colleges and universities in the country to have segregation, The mingling of men and women is, in a great many cases, a stimulation to study. The women will not be beaten and the men; with the same pluck, are unwilling to have the women get ahead of them.” Prof. McClintock of the literature department of the Chicago university also upheld the principles of coeduca- tion, PARIS TO PEKING BY RAIL. Information Given Out at London That Through Passenger Traf- fle Will Degin Early in 1904, Through passenger traffic from Paris to Peking will begin early in the year 1904, and it is estimated that the journey from London to Peking will take at first about 20 days, and after- ward a little over 14. The average speed per hour will be from Paris to Berlin, 53% miles; from ‘Berlin to Alexandrovo, 40; from Alexandrovo to Moscow, 34; Moscow to Irkutsk, 23; Irkutsk to” Lake Baikal, 17; Lake Baikal to Inkow, 20, and Inkow to Peking, 2314. Through tickets will be issued at various European centers, which will allow the holder to take two months for the journey. Return tickets can be used for nine months, Each pas- senger will be allowed 108 pounds of baggage free. Yearly tickets will be issued for express trains, and will in- clude board, exclusive of wine.

S. Diller of the geological survey. The grandeur of the country in the vicinity of Crater Lake rivals anything in the world, according to the report. “Twenty years ago,” says Mr. Diller, “Crater lake was unknown to the general public. It is deeply set th the summit of the Cascade range, about 65 miles north of the Cal- ifornia line, in the central western edge of Klamath county, Ore. about 12 miles a little east of north of Fort Seott, The remnant of the great mountain inelosing the lake was named Mount Mazama in 1896, and the Crater Lake National park, containing 249 square miles, was established by congress in May, 1902, “The geological record of this coun- try, from the earliest epochs to the present time, is replete with voleanic phenomena, but the climax appears to have been reached in the earlier por- tion of the neocene period, when one of the largest known voleanie fields of the world was vigorously active in our northwestern states. “This area of volcanic activity stretched from the Rocky mountains to the Pacific, embracing a large part of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and California, The western limit of the great voleanie field is likewise the western border of the Cascade range. “The wrecking of Mount Mazama and the development of the great pit or caldera, whieh for beauty and gran- deur rivals anything of its kind in the world, was the crowning event of the voleanic history of the Cascade range.” VICTORIOUS FRENCH WOMAN. By Dint of Perseverance and Pluck, She Secures Position in Ministry of Public Instruction, There has been a small revolution in France, and a. woman bas been tri- umphant, Mile, Marie Anne Patny has secured a position as secretary in a bureau of the ministry of public in- struction, This is the first time a woman has been admitted to perform duties in the ministry, Now that a breach has been made others will doubtless follow, Since the first medical diploma was granted to a woman in France in the ‘s0's 57 women have taken degrees in the fac- ulties of medicine and are practicing in Paris. ‘Two hold official appoint- ments. Mie. Bres is physician to the Chatelet theater and doctors ladies and children, Mme. Peree holds the same position at the state theater of the Odeon. All the rest are in luera- tive practice. The greater number come from Russia and Roumania. Opposition to the French doctresses is still violent. One lady who studied said at the time that the insults of the students were unbearable and forced her to give up TO SEARCH BED OF TIBER. Italian Professor Who Expects to Re- cover Many Rare Articles, Cast Into Stream by the Ancients, Prof. Ciro Nispilandi_has obtained leave from the authorities to thor- oughly search the bed of the River Tiber. He is confident that the mud over which the sluggish stream flows contains objects which, on account of , their artistic and intrinsic value are almost priceless, because for ages the Romans cast their most valuable pos- sessions into the bosom of Father Tiber as offerings to the god. Besides these the professor expects to find an extraordinary variety of curious things in the way of armor worn by many soldiers who at different times were killed in battles on the banks and bridges of the Tiber. The professor also hopes to find val- uables cast into the stream by early Christian fanatics who considered it good work to destroy the symbols of heathen idolatry. The professor's views are strengthened by the fact that whenever bridges are built and the’ banks of the Tiber strengthened, treasures, often of great value have been discovered, Sea Swallowing a Town. The seaport of Ocos, situated on the Pacific coast of the state of Chiapas, has almost completely dis- appeared into the sea. At one time Ocos was one of the principal ports of Mexico. It is on a beautiful har- bor. A magnificent iron wharf and splendid custom-house and other public buildings were constructed. The bottom of the Sea and harbor and that part of the coast have been sinking since the severe earthquake shocks of last April, and the wharf, government building, and nearly all the business part of the town are now under water. Have Got Beyond Feeling. Thée_people-of- Martinique, or those who still cling to that unfortunate island, will probably: not be alarmed by, the scientific report that it is like- ly. to sink out of sight, says the Chi- cago Inter Ocean. They are proba- bly beyond the reach of alarm by this time. WHll Follow a Swiss Model. Swiss postal officials are to be em- ployed to assist in the reorganization of the Japanese post office. The Swiss postal system is to be taken as @ model, . : The liniment bottle and flannel strip are familiar objects in nearly every household. They are the weapons that have been used for _generations to fight old Rheumatisi,and_are about as effective in the battle with this giant disease as the blunderbuss of our forefathers would be in modern warfare. Rheumatism is caused by an acid, sour condition of the blood. It is filled with acrid, irritating matter that settles in the joints, muscles and nerves, and liniments and oils nor nothing else applied externally can dislodge these gritty, corroding particles. bes | were deposited there by the blood and can be reached only through the blood. Rubbing with liniments sometimes relieve temporarily the aches and pains, but these are only symptoms which are liable to return with every change of the weather; the real disease lies deeper, the blood and system are infected, Rheumatism cannot be radically and permanently cured until the blood has been purified, and no remedy does this so thoroughly and promptly as S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and sends a stream of rich, strong blood to the affected parts, which dissolves and washes out all foreign materials, and the eafferer obtains happy relief from the torturing pains. S. S. S. contains no potash or other mineral, but is a perfect vegetable blood purifier and most exhilarating tonic. Our physicians will advise, without charge, all who write about their case, and we will send free our special book on Rheumatism and its treatment. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga.
