Es i is t The Reraia--Review. E. C. KILEY, Editor, _ GRAND RAPIDS - The succulent bivalve is being as- similated. A thermometer will not take the place of a stove. The man who condemns all others, condemns himself most. A woman can exist longer on love and kisses than a man can. It’s always the pen that boasts of being mightier than the sword. That man doesn’t live who thinks others value him at his true worth, A woman, to say the least—but, then, it isn’t a woman’s nature to say the Jeast. When marriage claps on a combina- tion lock love ceases to laugh at the locksmith, Experience is a great teacher, but somehow the average man never lives long enough to graduate. A St. Louis gallant bit a young lady while ing her, and the girl is dan- gerously ill. It was a toothsome kiss. It is sometimes difficult to determine whether a woman loves or hates a man when she declines to speak his name, W. W. Astor refuses to sell his American property. It would have been a relief to have him take $120,000,- 000 and go. Says a physician: “One cause of baldness is great intellectuality.” This would indicate that baldness is for the purpose of allowing the intellect to shine, In a recent interview Thomas A, Ed- ison said: “Chemistry undoubtedly proves the existence of a supreme in- telligence. No one can study that science and see the wonderful way in which certain elements combine with the nicety of the most delicate machine ever devised and not come to the in- evitable conclusion that there is a big engineer who is running this uni- verse.” Vast quantities of poor and cheap commodities are constantly put upon the market. Yet there is a growing ‘demand for the best products in every line of industry. This is a sign of economic wisdom as well as of improv- ing tasie. In buying food, furniture, clothing, tools or machinery, the pur- chase-money is but one item of cost. To say nothing of repairs, waste, in- ferior service and annoyance, your whole equipment often suffers from the unsuitableness of one of its factors, but as one sore finger impairs the useful- ness of a hand. It is a good rule to “get the best” that you can afford to pay for. Nothing is too good for a man, if he can get it honestly. One day a generation ago a curious vehicle rolled into a Wisconsin town. Its wheels were solid pieces of wood sawed from a round log, its axles small unhewed trees, upon which rested a planed log bearing a box of clothing and a yellow-haired, bright-eyed boy, driving an indescribable horse. The boy was a Scandinavian emigrant, whose parents lived in neighboring woods, and he had come to the town with a few dollars and much determi- nation to get an education. This was the beginning of the career of Knute Nelson, the chief of one of the political parties of Minnesota and one of its United States senators. It may be doubted if a single youth who starts to school this fall will do so with fewer material advantages than this son of Scandinavia. How many will climb as high? Teaching the Jew to be an American farmer is one of the unique. objects of an agricultural manual training schoo! located at Doylestown, Pa., near Phi!- adelphia. This school, which is known as the National Farm School, is the only one of its kind in the United States, and fills a gap which the agri- cultural colleges of the country so far have been unable to cover. It pro- vides a practical training’ in agricul- ture for city-bred boys that corre- sponds in many -espects to an ordi- mary literary ~r scientific course in a city high shool. Although the school ds unsec‘irian and is open to pupils of ail nationalities, its principal object is the training of Hebrews for Practica) Amer’.an husbandry—an industry with which the race has heretofore had little to do. Agriculture was the pur- suit of the ancient Israelites, ang the abandonment of it by the modern Israelites is the result of centuries of persecution, during which his ances- tors were deprived of the right xe tilling the soil, and frequently Sof th right to possess it.

The schooner Lily of the West, from Labrador, with thirty persons aboard and 500 quintals of codfish, struck an iceberg off the Straits of Belle Isle, sinking almost immediately. The crew escaped. Considerable loss of life was caused at Cologne by the collapse of a building in process of construction on the Wolf- strasse. It is believed ten persons were killed. Three bodies have been recovered. During a severe wind and rain storm the steam barge Cleveland, lumber Jad- en, sunk in the harbor near the mouth of the Chicago river. Capt. Henry Da- vis aud a crew of eleven men were res- cued by tugs with corsiderable diffi- culty. The entire property of the Northern Pacifie Trading and Packing company, at Klawae, on Prince of Wales Island, about 125 miles from Wrangel, Alaska, was destroyed by fire. A conservative estimate places the loss at $100,000, with no insurance. Two factory buildings were almost totally destroyed by fire at Chicago, causing a total loss of over $1E The principal losers are as follows: Keating & Son, $25,000; Woven Down Duster company, $1,500; A.

Crimes and Criminals. The police rescued Washington from Colored men in Chicago recently en- deavored to lynch James Washington, a Cetective, because he ran down and surrendered to the Tennessee officials Edward Curtis, an escaped convict. Fourteen of the principal merchants ef Kansas City have been notified to appear in court, charged with violation of the law for the regulation of depart- ment stores, in that they refused to furnish statements showing the lines of goods sold and the volume of busi- ness transacted. The constitutionality of the law will be tested. After trying for two years to escape his fate, Millionaire William Bradbury of San Francisco was taken to jail to serve a twenty-four hour sentence for spitting on the ficor of a street car. He was tried and convicted many months ago and sentenced to twenty-four hours in jail. He appealed to the superior court and the judgment was affirmed. The man who shot “Gen.” Sowder, at Middlesboro, Ky., has been found to be “Gen.” Turner, the twenty-year-old son of Jack Turner, the leader of the ‘Turn- er faction.

When | asked what was the trouble, he-replied: “I'm honest, and I won't stand being slurred. If I find a percil or handker- chief about the school when I'm sweep- ing, I hang it up. Every little while the teachers, or someone who is too cowardly to face me, gives me a slur.” “In what way?” asked an oflicer. “Why, a little while ago I saw writ- ten on the board, ‘Find the common | multiple.’ Well, I looked from cellar j te garret, and I wouldn't know the ; thing if I met it on the street. What | made me quit my job? Last night, in | big handwritin’ on the blackboard, it | said, ‘Find the greatest common divis- or.’ Well, I says to myself, both them darned things is lost now, and I'll get blamed for swipin’ "em; so I quit.”— Steuben Republican.

All the plans of the committee were shifted to make the day brilliant with events. AN IMPORTANT LAW. For Selling Articles ning Unhealthy In- eredients. The following law was passed at the last session of the Missouri Legislature, taking effect August 20, 1899: Section 1, That it shall be wnlawful for any person or corporation doing business in this state to manufacture, sell or offer to sell any article, compound or preparation for the pur- pose of being used or which is intended to be used in the preparation of food, in which arti- cle, compound: or preparation there is any arsenic, calomel, bismuth, ammonia or alum. Sec. 2 Any person or corporation violating the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon con- Vietion, be fined not less than one hundred dollars, which shail be paid into and become a part of the road fund of the county in which such fine is collected. = * The operation of this law will be mainly against alum baking powders. But the manufacture or sale o fany ar- ticle of food or article intended to be used in food which contains any of the substances classed by the law as un- healthful—from Arsenic to Alum—is absolutely prohibited. The Baltimore and Ohio South West. ern Rail Road placed in service several months ago five large ten-wheel com- pound passenger engines for use on fast trains between Cincinnati and St. Louis. ‘The performance of these en- gines has been eminently satisfactory and up to the highest expectation. ‘The same line has also in service 50 consolidation compound freight eh- gines, which provides ample power for the entire line in addition to what was already in use The compound ezgines were an experiment, but hard service has proved that they were entirely suc- cessful, and show a saving of 15 per cent in fuel as compared with simple engines of the same type. Exhaustive tests were made with both the simple and compound locomotives before the erder for the entire lot was placed, with the result vastly in favor of the compound locomotives. CARTER’S DOWNFALL. ‘The President Confirms the Verdict of the Court-Martial. Washington, Oct. 3.—The president has approved the sentence imposed by court-martial on Capt. Oberlin M. Car- ter, corps of engineers, U. 8. A., and-a formal order was yesterday issued from the war department directing the execution of the sentence. . Robbers Get $560. Portsmouth, Ohio, Oct. 3. — Twelve masked robbers entered the Mead homestead, twelve miles northeast ot this city last night and, firing revol- yers, ordered the family to remain in bed. George Gallagher, a nephew of the Meads, refused to obey and was beaten into unconsciousness and the others were ticd to the beds. The rob- bers searched the house, tearing up hearths and pulling down mantels, se- curing about $500. Mead had, fortu- nately, deposited $2,500 in bank Fri- day. The robbers, before leaving, sev the house on fire, but the fire went out. Gallagher is badly injured and may die. ison Demon Eseapes. Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 3.—John Atkin- son, confined in the steel cage at the penitentiary built for himself and the other prison “demons,” Marlatt, Hur- ley and O'Neill, escaped yesterday from his cell and had secreted himself under a bench in. the corridor when captured. The steel cage was thought to be absolutely safe, there being two sets of doors and two sets ef locks, ed only from the outside by lev- ers ond bolts, Atkinson managed, by the use of a stick, to disarrange the whole system of locks and free him- self, Large’ Yield of Wheat. Huron, S$. D., Oct. 3. — Threshing is progressing rapidly. throughout this, Beadle, county, and in every instance the yield of wheat is larger than esti- mated. Some farmers who thought they would get only from three to five bushels per acre are delighted to find that the machine turns out from five to eight bushels, and some get as high as twelve and fifteen bushels per acre. Oats, and barley also give better yield than expected. An Effective Kick. Constantinople, Oct. 3.—Customs of- ficials refused to pass 20,000 sacks of Aweriean flour arriving directly from the United States on the ground that the flour was unwholesome. The min- ister protested at the palace and ob- tained an irade ordering its admission, Narrow Escape. Willmar, Minn., Oct. 3.—Fire broke out in Carlson Bros, & Frost’s drug store and N. B. Carlson, who roomea in the building, came very near losing his life. He was unconscious when rescued and remained so for an hour. Milwankee Policeman Murderca. Milwaukee, Oct. 3.—Henry Miller, a tanner, murdered John Kassow, a po- liceman, at Miller’s home. Miller and his wife were quarreling, and the of- ficer, hearing the noise, entered the house. The murderer escaped. Returns to Snelling. Winona, Minn.. Oct, 3.—Lieut. A. G. Blaker, who has been doing recruiting work here for the past week, concluded his work and has gone to Fort Snelling. During the week he secured thirteen , recruits. AGGIE WAN’ PEACE. Requests Gen. Otis to Open Negotia- tions. Manila, Oct. 3.—The Filipino peace commission,. which arrived at the American lines Saturday morning, brought a request from Aguinaldo that he be permitted to send a representa- tive of his government to negotiate for peace. Gen, Otis refused the re- quest. There will be another confer- ence, -0- Manila, Oct. 3.—Aguinaldo’s third at- tempt to shift his difficulties into the field of diplomacy is the repetition of the other two, an endeavor to obtain some sort of recognition of his so-called government. The Filipino envoys had a conference with Gen. Otis yesterday afternoon. They brcught a message from Aguinal- do that he desired peace, and wished to send civil governmental commission- ers to discuss terms. Gen. Otis replied that it was impossible for him to rec- ognize Aguinaldo’s government in that way. They presented a letter from Aguinaldo as “president of the repub- lic,” which was mainly a repetition of his recent dispatches. Gen. Otis to this said that while Aguinaldo was looked upon as general of the insurgent forces he could not recognize him as head of any organized government. Another conference will be held to-day. -0- Manila, Oct. 3.—Fourteen American prisoners, all enlisted scldiers, were yesterday delivered up by the insur- gent commissioners who arrived at Angeles for a conference with Gen. Otis. It is reportd from Iloilo that the Tagals have arrested Virayan, a gen- eral, charging him with being a traitor. Tribal discord, it is added, is growing. Many of the rebel soldiers have revolt- ed. The prisoners returned unanimously praised their trentment. One man said: “We have been given the best the country afforded — fine houses, fine quarters, servants, goed food, plenty of wine and a money allowance. Aguin- aldo visited us and shook hands. Three of the boys refused to shake hands with him” Judging from the stories of the pris- oners they have been lionized by the people. They report that five sailors, survivors of Naval Cadet Woods’ party, arrived at Tarlac Wednesday. ‘Though small importance is attached to their judgment, they agree in say- ing that the Filipinos all say that they are “tired of the war but will fight for independence to the last.” The re- leased soldiers all say the idea of inde- pendence has taken firm hold of the Filipinos and they threaten, if con- quered, to exterminate the Americans by assassination. Aguinaldo seemed popular among all the people the pris- oners met. The country, they say, is full of rich crops. While Aguinaldo only offered to re- lease the prisoners in Tarlac, there is great disappointment at the fact that Lieut. Gilmore's party failed to arrive. The Filipino commission does not arouse great expectations as to the re- sult of its visit. Maj. Ortes said frank- ly that they were very tired of the war, but they decline to say what pro- posals they bring. The Filipinos lunched with Gen. Young at San Fer- nardo, _ MARKETS. ~ Latest Quotations From Grain and Live Stock Centers. St. Paul, Oct. 3. — Wheat — No. 1 Northern, new, 693-4 @ Tle; No. 2 Nerthern, new, 66 @ 69c.
