CABSTORIA. Beare the The Kind You Have Always Bought a Col. Bryan Interviewed. William Jennings Bryan spent sev- eral hours in St. Joseph, Mo., on the 3rd. “What do you think of Joseph Folk as a candidate for Governor of Missouri?” was asked. “Mr. Folk is a most excellent gen- tleman who has accomplished great good since his election as district at- torney and the people regardless of 4 party commend his course in punish- q ing corruptionist,” said Mr. Bryan. 2 “He would make good guberna- torial timber. I know Mr. Folk per- sonally and admire him greatly.” As Mr. Bryan was talking a come- ly-looking woman carrying a baby and leading four other children ap- proached and said: “Mr. Bryan, 1 want my children to meet you, be- cause my husband is a great friend of yours and my oldest boy isnamed Bryan.” The Commoner’s face showed p-ain ly that he was pleased and he shook hands with the mother and her chil- dren and slipped a silver dollar into the hand of the lad named Bryan.— Ex. 4 Maneuvers in October.

George Mahy, 13 years old, of Will- ~ cet ee a O - ww ee ee = AMALINE. | Strongest of Antiseptics Said to | | Have Cured Blood Poisoning. HOPE IN FO! iamsport, Pa., has won the distinction | of killing three bears in one day. A few days age he got his father’s eun unperceived by his mother, and went to a field not far from the house where bears had been seen to feed. He saw a large bear eating the tops of turnips that still remained in the field, and fired. The bear fell, and the boy re- turned to the house eager to tell of his luck, When he got there, glancing through a window on the opposite side of the house he saw two bears making their way through a stripof woods. Reload- ing the gun, he followed the edge of the woods to a point where he thought the bears would come out. He had been hid only a moment when they shambled out of the timber, and he killed them easily. Two members of the Du Bois Rod and Gun club killed a bear after the longest chase on record, They wound- ed the animal in the heavily timbered Nick's Run district, in Cameron coun- ty, on the second morning of their hunt. Not liking to give him up with- out a chase, they followed the trail all day. That night they camped on the trail in the snow, and on the two succeeding days continued the chase, About noon of the third day they came upon him, He was seriously wounded in the groin, but he fought the dogs, killing one of them and injuring the other before he was dispatched, The hunters found that they had followed the bear 50 miles through two counties, MUST NOT MARRY. Board of Education Hard-Heantedly Frown on Teachers Taking Husbands, The board of education of New York city has served notice on all women teachers contemplating mar- riage or disposed to matrimony that no wedding bells will be tolerated while they are in the service of the public schools; that if they do marry their offense will be reported, charges will be preferred against them, and they will be dismissed from the serv- ice, Some time ago the board of education framed a by-law which said, in substance, that the marriage of a woman teacher should be tantamount to her resignation. A Brooklyn teacher married and the Brooklyn courts sustained her in ner contention that marriage was not resignation, The following amend- ment was, therefore, proposed by the board: “Resolved, That no wom- an principal, woman head of de- partment, or woman member of the teaching or supervising staff shall marry while in the service, and such a marriage shall be reported to the board of education, which may direct that charges be preferred against such teacher.” WOMEN’S NOVEL PROJECT. Hotel to Be Rolit in Russia for Their Special Care and Pro- tection, ‘The latest development of the wom- in’s rights question in Russia has taken the form of a novel proposal planned by the Society for the Care of Women's Health, It is proposed to build a kind of hotel where only tive, and of which the shareholde ire exclusively writes the Petersburg correspondent of the London Mail. Shares in the company will be sub- scribed for in the form of rent for rooms, and at the end of ten years. by which time the shares will be fully paid up, tenants will be allowed to sub-let their apartments on con- dition that the new tenant is also a woman, The building will be designed by a lady architect, and only women serv- ants will be allowed to be employed there. The rules of the establish- ment with regard to the exelusion of men will be most strict, remind- ing one indeed of the cloister regula- tions of the Middle Ages.

Process Tried in London by Which Spring Blossoms Are Obtained in Autamn, An account of the etherization of olants, a new process by which plants 1aturally flowering in the spring are made to produce blossoms during the previous autumn, is cabled by the London correspondent of the New York Times. The process is simple. The plants are stored in a small galvanized tauk. Then ether is poured into a small zup fixed to the top of the tank, whence, after the tank has been se- surely fastened, the ether is allowed to evaporate for a period of 48 hours. During this time the plants shed their leaves, and may be de- scribed as being in a state of intoxi- sation. After this period the plante are exposed to the air for another period of 48 hours, This in turn is followed by a second period of etherization, after which the plants are removed to an ordinary forcing house, and within two or three weeks begin to “|@ower freely.

At the last meeting of the New , York Obstetrical society Dr. Charles [¢ Barrows, of New York city, sub- mitted a report of an experiment with formaline, a drug known as the strongest of antiseptics, which he had made in Bellevue hospital on a patient, who, after giving birth to a child, had a temperature of 108 de- grees and a pulse of 160. When the patient was admitted she was suffering from sepsis or blood poisoning. A blood culture was taken and it was found to be full of septicaemia, known to the medical profession as streptococci. After the injection of formaline the patient recovered rapidly. The belief at the start was that the patient was dying and most radi- cal measures were used to save life. Five hundred cubic centimetres of formaline were injected into the left arm. The effect seemed, according to Dr. Barrows’ report, to be almost instantaneous, A second injection was given her and her pulse and temperature fell to normal, The patient is recovering now, Experiments are being made on animals and further important re- sults are expected. The injection of formaline into the veins had never been heard of until Dr, Barrows read his paper. GIRLS TO BE PROTECTED. Treasury Department Taken Steps to Shield Ixnorant Immigrants Coming to This Country, The treasury department has in- formation which leads to the conelu- sion that alien girls and women are being decoyed to this country for ims moral purposes, With a view to ascertaining the ex- act facts, the department has decided to appoint a number of women in- spectors at the port of New York, whose duty it will be to board all incoming steamers and make investi- gation into suspicious cases in’ the first and second cabins, and to give needful information and advice to those who may be ignorant of the real character of the houses in which they may have been promised honest employment, The compensation to be allowed will be $1.200 a year. The duties will be of a difficult, and frequently of an un- pleasant character, as the inspectors will be required to meet and board all the incoming steamers from revenue cutters at all hours of the day and in all kinds of weather. The department is taking this step realizing that its complete success is somewhat doubt- ful, but it is felt that the situation seems to warrant the experiment. THE COPPER PRODUCTION. A Large Increase Is Shown During 1902 Over the Previous Year, According to a report compiled by the New York metal exchange, there has been an increase in the produe- tion of copper for the year just closed. The figures for the produe- tion in 1902 293,830 tons, as com- pared with ,716 tons in Iw0l, Add- ing the net importations of f copper, the total for 1902 is TOT tons, as compared with 328,002 in 1901. The exportations, however, have been nearly doubled. In 1902, the total exports of cop- per were 168.435 tons, against 98,941 in 1901, Consumption also increased, probably on account of the low prices, and it is estimated that the country consumed 203,000 tons last year, compared with 165,000 in 1901. Summing up the results of the year, the statement shows that the stocks at the mines, on transporta- tion, at refineries and in warehouses, are estimated to be 133,813 tons at the end of the year, MAY CHANGE DINING COSTUME, Paria Women Are Said ¢o Favor the Low-Necked Frocks of the Engliah. Quite a number of American wom- en in Paris are talking about trying to bring about a revolution in the costume which is considered de rig- eur when dining at hotels and fash- ionable restaurants, They think the fashion which obtains in London is worth imitation here and believe the result would be more satisfactory than in the English capital. Women when dining out in Paris wear the high-neck dress and hat. “American and French women certainly look better in low-necked frocks than the English,” said an American woman, recently, “as anybody who dines out in London could testify.” Sentiment Stili Potent. - At a London auction the other day a lock of hair from the head of the luke of Wellington was sold for $20.

Gold Excitement in Oklahoma. Wichita, Kan., August 8.—Word was received here to-day to the effect that a large number of Oklahomans are making for the Wichita moun- tains, where the discovery of gold is causing almost as great excitement as did the discovery of the precious metal at Cripple Creek several years ago. This information was conveyed to Judge E. E. Harvey of this city by his brother, who is now in that lo- cality. Mr Harvey writes of oneold miner who disposed of two claims there within the last two weeks, sell- ing one for $80,000 aud another for $10,000. Mills are being built and the necessary machinery for mining gold in large quantities is being brought into the country. Hot Weather Weakness. If you feel fagged out, listless and lacking iu energy, you are perhaps suffering from the debilitating effects of summer weather. These symp- toms indicate that a tonic is needed that will create a healthy appetite, make digestion perfect, regulate the bowels and impart natural activity to the liver. This, Herbine will do; itis a tonic, laxative and restora- tive. H. J. Freegard, Propr. Grand View Hotel, Cheney, Kan., writes: “I have used Herbine for the last 12 years, and nothing on earth can beat it. It was recommended to me by Dr. Newton, Newton, Kan.” 50c at H. L.

Dolan disappeared after Harris had stood spousor for his appearance, and Harris was compelled to pay the bond, sacrificing so much of his per- sonal chattels that he sold out and came to Nebraska Harris sought vainly to trace Dolan, but he has just been advised that Dolan died re- cently in Southern Missouri, be- queathing an estate valued at $8,000 tothe man who once aided him in Illinois.
