While Marsden was sleeping beside his prisoner, Ecklund went through the detective’s pockets, secured the keys to the shackles, released himeelf and then shackled the officer to the steam pipes. Having relieved the x officer of his weapons and other prop- t erty, Ecklund left the train at Laramie. Mareden was not awakened by the conductor until Cheyenne was reach- ed, when he called for assistance. As Marsden had absolutely nothing on his person to prove that he was not & prisoner, the trainmen would not release him.

Dr. Dowie wants three things and did not hesi tate to pray for them to-day. They are: The finest minister's residences in the world; a place of 820 acres of ground; a dining room seating 1,- 000. Of course, the wise prophet seer, healer and “restorer” did not commit himeelf by saying he would be satisfied it he received theee gifts and these requests may be only a starter. But he wants them granted just the same. This, according to er ae 1or ae some eta i ; how he prayed: “I pray God togive me the finest house that any mini= ter of God has in the world. It will take 320 acres to keep me. Then I shall have to have a dining room to seat a thousand people, the number in my choir.” The Father to Investigate. Emporia, Kan., Aug. 22.—David Stafford, an Emporia business man, look into the mystery of the dieap- pearance of his boy, Lloyd Stafford. who was a non-commissioned officer in the United States army stationed at Fort McKinney, near Sheridan. Mr. Stafford has received no word from his son for nearly a year. Re signed by an unknown name, stating that Lloyd Stafford committed suicide and that the writer cf the let- ter was one of Lloyd’s comrades. Mr. Stafford wrote to the captain of the company, but received no reply. partment and was notified that ap investigation would be made, but no mystery.

Iateresting Report from British Con- sul-General at Canton Tells of Great Demand Brought About by migem: The popularity of American flour im China is attracting attention on consul general at Canton, in a report sent from China to London and pub- lished in that city, states that the de- mand for four among emigrants re- turned from the United States is so great that the quantity of flour im- ported in 1902 exceeded that of 1901 by 95,831,328 pounds, and was also some 78,400,000 pounds in excess of the average for the past five years. These figures of increase In Chinese consumption of flour are justified by the figures of the treasury bureau of statistics showing exportations of flour to China and adjacent ports. In- deed, it is only when the shipments to the ports adjacent to China are con- sidered that the rapidity of increase in exports of flour to that part of the world is realized. To China alone, the exports of American flour have grown from 13,718 barrels in 112 to 99.624 barrels in 1902. This increase of $5,996 barrels is small, however, compared with the increase in the shipments to Hong-Kong, from which point most of the flour there received is distributed ta the various ports of China. The exports of American flour to Hong-Kong in 1892 were 457,690 bar- rels, and in 1902, 1,398,893 barrels, an increase of 941,203 barrels, To Rus- sian China, the exports of American flour, which began in 1900, were 16,587 barrels, and in 1902, 50,140 barrels, To British China the flour exports were 275 barrels, Grouping the three statements of exports of flour from the Tnited States to China, to Hong-Kong and to Russian and British China, the total for 1892 stands at 471,408 barrels, and for 1902, 1,549,022, barrels. This shows an increase of over 200 per cent. in the exportation of American flour to China and to ports contributing to the consumption of China, while the total exportation of flour in the samme in 18 15,196,769 barrels, in 1902, 17,759,203 barrels, an in- of about 15 per cent. m the standpoint of dollars, ft years was > e Fr may be added that the value of Amer- n flour shipped to China grew from 41 in 1892 to $291,252 in 1992; to e-Kong, from 2,140,071 in 1892 to in 1902, while the shipments an China in 1902 were $149,- °e9. and to British China, $1,125, mak- ine the total value of flour shipped om the United States to China and 10ns ports $2,207,512 in 1892 and % in 1902; while the total value of all flour exported from the ate Vaited fr in the same period fell 87 83 in 1892 to $65,661,974 in 1992, Michizcan Mail Carrier Who Never Forgets Anything He Once Learns, esas ee SS SSS Niles, Mich., has a memory prodigy in erson of William Putnata, whoisin the employ of Uncle Sam as a mail car- rier. In 1891 he won an Oxford Bible as a prize for reciting the golden texts and titles of Methodist Episcopal Sunday school lessons. Five years later he won a gospel story of the life of Christ for reciting 2,000 scriptural verses, and can now recite fully 5,000. He is thoroughly posted in history, and can tell the date of any event of con- sequence. He can recite the entire con- stitution of the United States with its amendments. In five different hymn books that have been used at different times in the Methodist Episcopal church, he knows the title and number of every song, and at meetings, if any one wants to know the number of a cer- tain song, all they have to do is to fur- nish the title, and Putnam will tell it, or if they tell the number, he furnishes the title. both sides of the globe. The British County Commissioners of Nebraska te Try to Equip Victim ef Liquor with Artificial Fingers. Neb minty commissioners of Omaha, are going to try the experiment of rebti a man in the hope of ridding | themselves of a county charge. John Wieere, of Millard, came before them the other day minus eight fingers, | but well equipped with arguments why _ the county should provide him a new set of digits. “I'm no good as I am,” he protested, holding up two stumps of hands for in- spection, “but if the board will fit me out with artificial fingers I can make a good living.” Wiese explained that with celluloid fingers he can milk cows, pick fruit, handle a pitchfork, or a spade, or even sew tidies, if necessary. “The fingers will cost $50," he said, “but if you don't buy them you'll have to keep me at the poor farm and board and lodging will be even more expensive.” “The idea makes a hit with me," ac- knowledged Commissioner Harte, “be- cause there will be at least one of the people out at the poor farm who can’t plead inability to work on account of blistered fingers. Let's spend the $50.” Wiese used to live at Millard. One freezing night last winter he fell by the wayside returning home and was badly frost bitten. All his fingers were lost. Wiese has pending in the district court a $20,000 suit against four aaloon men at Millard for selling him the liquor that Abobe All When you buy soda crackers you want crispness and flavor—not dampness and dust. : When you buy ordinary cracke in a you get all you don’t want—not all you do want.

HEN RAISES SNAKES. Hatches Thirteen Striped Adders and Is Naturally Pussled But Ac- cepts Her Trusts. Several weeks ago one of the resi- dents of Smoky Hollow, situated near Nunda, N. Y., found 13 adder's eggs under a decayed stump, and, placing them under a bantam hen, awaited re- sults. In due time the clucking mother hatched out 13 striped adders. The brood was different from the downy darlings which she had previously reared, but the faithful bantam ac- cepted her trust, and did the best she could under the circumstances. Sev- eral of the strange brood fell a prey to the family cat, and others receded from civilization and took to the woods, but six of them are still fol- lowing the puzzled bamtam about the premises in the daytime and at night sleeping in the straw nest in which they were hatched. The wriggling brood have become sufficiently domesticated to respond to the clucking of their fos- ter mother. known for (S yearsasthe BEST REMEDY for PILES. SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS.
