Introduces Constitutional Amendment in Missouri House. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan, 21.—Rep- resentative Robt. B,. Oliver of Cape Girardeau introduced an amend- ment to the const tution to-day re- | quiring railroads to furnikh passes during their official lives. » Mr. Oliver says he considers it one of the most important measures pending in the legislature. It com- pels all railroads in the state, under penalty of foreiture of charter and all right to do business in the state, officials from the governor down, and including judges of the supreme court members of the legislature, circuit and appellate judges, sheriffs and superintendents of state institu-| tions. , As the law now stands it is felony or state officials and members of the legislature to travel on railroad passes. This law wasenacted in 1887, Railroad men say that it has been ~s almost a dead letter, as a majority © of officials and more than half the members of the legislature find means | of traveling on the railroad without paying fare. ? Toad passes are sometimes used for ’ other than legitimate purposes, » hen the legislature is in session. It is Mr. Oliver's opiniou that if the rail- roads were compelled to issue passes to the officials stated no particular hardship would be inflicted on them and at the same time they would be have upon them. Several states have laws similar to — the one proposed by Mr. Oliver. The Dead of 1902. In the necrology of 1902 appears the names of many illustrious men and women, but the listis not longer nor the names more numerous than those of other years. In each annual list appears the names of some who have been especially beloved, and to | ‘ thousands the death of some man or woman comes as a personal loss not | to be retrieved. In literature death cut a wide swath during 1902. Bret Harte, whose stories of the west marked a new era ia American literature, pass- ed into the great beyond.

The great world of industy lost Freidrich Alfred Krupp. Another name, that of Elizabeth Cady Stan- ton, stands out clearly upon the scroll of 1902's illustrious dead. Every department of the world’s work has suffered a loss, and while 1902 has not wroughtgreater havoc than other years, it will be remem- bered because it witnesed the death of men and women who were recog- nized leaders and who had conferred lasting benefits upon human kind.— Ex. Ax as a Safety Valve. Washington, January 22. mystery of President Roosevelt's visits to a forest near Tennallytown was cleared up to-day. The President goes out there dur- ing the early morning and spends an hour wielding an ax against the trees of the forest. He is accompanied in this latest ef- | fort to rid himself of his surplus ener- | gy by Gifford Pinchot, forester ofthe department of agriculturs. ~~ The forest near Tennallytown be- longs to the Dutch Reformed church, which President Roosevelt attends. The trees on the land are so close together that they do not have a chance to grow, and the trustees of the church determined to thin them out. They asked President Roosevelt,to request Forest Pinchot to visit the land and mark the trees which should be removed. The President replied that he would attend to the matter, so he notified Mr. Pinchot to be on hand early in the morning with a couple of axes Tho President and the forester af- Stggkton, the genial humorist, who caused happy smiles to lighten the faces of millions, laid down his pen forever.

The yacht Margarita, on which he was cruising, has returned here hurriedly that medical assistance may be more available. $100 Reward $100. The readers ot this paper will be pleas- ed to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitution- al disease, requires, a constitutional teatment. Hall’s Caarrh Cure is taxen internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous. surtaces of the sys- tem, therebv destroying the foundation ot the disease, and giying the it strength by building up the tution ing nature in doing its work, haye so faith t : curate Information in Regard to Effect of Food Adulterants and Preservatives. _ Dr. W. H. Wiley, chief chemical ex- pert of the department of agriculture, has begun the series of experiments into the effects of adulterated foods, with 12 clerks as subjects. A kitchen and a dining-room have been fitted up in the basement of the chemistry building for carrying-on the experi- ments. At noon the other day each of the subjects was weighed, and then all ate their first government meal. For two weeks they will be served with plain, substantial food. At the end of that period the six who have shown the most proficiency in keeping their personal records of the experiment will be formed into the first table, at which preservatives will be fed. After each man fas weighed he was given a thermometer and told that he would be expected to take his tem- perature three timesa day, After the first table has been served with food containing preservatives and adulter- ants for two weeks, the men will go back to honest food, and the other six will take their turn at the preserva- tives, The experiments will be con- tinued until results are evident, The preservatives and adulterated foods that have been stored in the larder of the experimental build'ng have all been carefully analyzed and weighed. Strict account will be taken of the amount of food taken by each subject daily. Dr. Wiley says it is doubtful if the results of the experi- ment will be obtained in time for sub- mission to congress at this session in the interest of a pure-food law. Manufacturers of adulterated food- stuffs and makers of preservatives as well as the general public are taking great interest in the experiment, for it is the first time that such an oficial inquiry has been undertaken ona thor- oughly scientific basis.

Ex-Minister Bourgeois and Baron D'Estournelles, Frenchmen, are rep- resented to be recent converts to the idea of organizing a United States of Europe as a means to enabling the old world to resist the industrial competition of America, M. Bour- geois is quoted as saying that Eu- rope, disunited, is spending 50 per ent. of its income on its armies, and cannot hope to withstand the indus- cial rivalry of the United States, which spends comparatively little for this purpose. In a lecture, Baron —The! D'Estournelles said that Europe no », | onger ruled the destinies of the world, and that, linked with the im- portance of the United States as a formidable_rival,_was—the—faet—that Europe had been spurring the yellow races to rivalry, and their competi- tion must be reckoned with. Europe must henceforth seek strength in vnion, Her peopies must learn to settle their differences amicably. A federated Europe was in no _ wise Utopian. A United States of Europe was the urgent necessity of the day. A COSTLY PIANO. — Roxbury (Mass.) Factory Is Building an Instrament Which Is to Cowt $10,000, On the order of a Philadelphia store for a customer, believed to be Charles M. Schwab, the steel mag nate, a Roxbury (Mass.) faetory is building what will be probably the most elaborate and expensive pian> constructed in this country in the last 50 years. The price will be $10,000. The in- strument is a marvelous middle-sized grand, of Louis XVI. design. The case is gilded and decorated ornately with foliage after the Watteau pat- tern. Just when the piano will be ready for delivery is not known, but it is understood that when Mr. Schwad returns from his health-seeking trip abroad it will be reposing in the par- lors of the wonderful new mansion he is having erected in New York city. INDIANS USE BREAKFAST FOOD Members of the Klamath Tribe Util. ize Seeds of a Species of Water Lily. Breakfastgfood unknown in the modern markets, but which has been in use by the Klamath Indians since aboriginal times, has been discov- ered by Frederick V. Colville, botan- ist of the department of agriculture. who says it is more palatable and more nutritious than many of the patent foods now in common use. The food consists of the prepared seeds of the “wocas,” a large yellow weter lily, which grows in the Kla- math marsh on the Indian reserva- tion ofthe same name in southern Oregon.

Washington, Jan, 22,—“All the world’s a stage,” including the na- tional House of Representatives. A few days ago the members were en- tertained by, a violent political de bate between Representative Charles H. Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Repre- setative Champ Clark, The new members marveled at the wonderfu! supply of information possessed by the two men. They had figures, remnants of history, records of past congresses, scraps from political platforms, apt s‘ or'es, and pertinent quotations from newspapers ready for instant use. It was an interest- ing, informative and even exciting debate. It was also very earnest and the sergeant-at-arms kept his eye on the two contestants warily, watching for the’ outbreak which might demand his services. Now it develops that the two rep- resentatives were merely rehearsing an entertainment which they give to lyceum bureau and Chautauqua societies. Formerly Mr. Clark had as a partner in these enterprises Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver, who quit when he was sent to the Senate. Then he engaged Charles B, Landis, of Indiana, who became a candidate for governor at the behest of Sena- tor Beveridge. Now he seeks Gener- al Grosvenor, the sage of Athens, as his partner. The two men appearat “so much per night” and conduct a ed off in the House of Representa- tives. These contests are said to be very thrilling, and infinitely more in- teresting than the real thing. The dress rehearsal the other day was very fine. ____In_ Armour’s Grasp. Chicago, Ill., January 22.—Amid the wildest excitement that has been witnessed on the board of trade in months, May wheat this afternoon sold up to 81%, an advance of 1% cents over the close yesterday. The price is the highest reached to date in the present bull campaign. J. Ogden Armour’s manipulation of the option is responsible for the steady advance, and there are some who already see the 90 figure loom- ing up, if the present pace is main- tained. Armour to-day holds the wheat situation of the country in his grasp. With the purchase to-day of 4,000,- 000 bushels of the May option he completed a line of 20,000,000 bush- ele, which practically gives him con- trol and places all traders in the option at his mercy. Armour’s profit, were he to unload his holdings now, would be $1,000,- 000. He can force the price up so that his profit will be from $3,000,- 000 to $5,000,000, Protest Against Smoot.

From the Philadelphia Record. “It’s hard to get ahead of a wo- man when she once makes up her mind to a thing,” said a coal dealer yesterday. “Aman you can gener- ally put off with a nice line of talk and a gilt-edged promise, but with a woman it’s different. One of them came into my office yesterday with five small children trailing behind her, and wanted to know why she had not received some of the coal that she had ordered a month ago. I told her that her order had been re- corded, together with thousands of others, and that _she would have to wait her turn. But she wouldn’t have it that way. I’ve dealt with youfor a gooa many years, and I’ve always paid my bills,’ she said. ‘I haven’t any coal in the house, and my children are nearly freezing. You have a nice, warm office here, and I propose to stay right here where we ; can all keep warm until you send me 'some coal.’ With this she camped out with her family and showed ev- ery indication of remaining all day. After the kius had torn things upside down for several hours and she had regarded them with placid indiffer- ence, I realized that the only thing to do was to send her a ton of coal. She wouldn’t go until she saw it loaded on the wagon, either.” “- Non-Union Man Hero.” Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 22.—President Eliot of Harvard university address- ed 1,500 high school pupils yester- day and in the course of his remarks said: “In 1896 I took occasion to say in @ public speech that ‘a scab isahero,’ and I still see nothing wrong in that remark. I have been a believer inla- bor unions, but my remark angered one man high in the councils of un- ionism and he wrote a letter condol- ing with me upon my ignerance and winding it up with what he called a curse. Itwas: ‘I wish thatyoumay graphic protest to Senator Burrows, chairman of the Senate committee on privileges and elections, against the seating of Senator-elect Smoot, and notified him that a committee from the association would appear before the Senate committee at the time to show cause for Mr. Smoot’s exclusion. 6B beroe Poe live long, have hard work, long hoursanda hungering stomach while you live.’ “Tbelieve that long hoursand hard work are best far every man.

The antiquary, when hia son an- nounced that the old man was now the grandfather of twins, looked al- most as disappointed and pained as the father himself. ‘John, if we be- longed to the Khasias of Hindustan ¢ we would kill one of these littlestran- __ gers,” said the antiquary, smiling faintly. ‘“Ifwe were Almos, we would kill one, too, The world over, John, twins are regarded as a misfortune. In Africa, that hut wherein twins are born is looked on as unholy. They burn it to the ground. The twins themselves may not mingle withoth- __ erchildren; they are compelled tolive a wild and lonely life.
