Attachments and Triumphs of a Belle.
dodge County Journal

Miss Anna Mccormick, one of Hawkinsville's
most charming young ladies, was in town
to-day and made a number of friends and
many mashes among our gay and festive
youths. l cannot blame the boys for falling in
love with her, however, for any young lady
who can play two pieces on piano and sing a
third at the same time is competent TO captiv-
ate the most fastidious of us. | have often
heard of fine performers on the piano, but
have never seen or heard any one who would
compete with her. She can sit with her back
to the instrument and play most beautifully.
1t is said that she can play three different in
struments at once, and don't doubt it, for she
offered to do so here if furnished the proper
instruments.

vantage of the opportunity to plant vigorous
young sapling. The affair was kept so quiet
that few even of the party knew when Mrs.
Cleveland escaped for a brief space, accom-
panied by those in the secret. The reason Of
the secrecy was the fear that, should the knowl-
edge be noised abroad, the ubiquitous relic
hunter might wantonly destroy the plant.
About year since the president visited the
spot for the same purpose, and carefully i'm
bedded tender shoot within the soft earth of
the opposite mound, yet to-day no trace re-
mains of the fact. Notwithstanding the care
that was lavished upon its preservation, the
shoot soon withered and died.

The Slayer of J. wilkes Booth Breaks Ava,
from "A Lunatic ASYLUM.

TOPEKA, Kas., May 27.-BOston Corbett, the
notorious slayer OF J. Wilkes Booth, President
Llncoln's assassin, W no has been in the state
insane asylum here for the past month, is now
at large. Corbett was taken out with other pa
tieRts for the regular morning exercise about
fairgrounds. A horse which belonged to a
visitor stood near the building saddled and
budled, aud, catching sight Of it, Corbett
sprang from the ranks, Embossed the animal,
sprang into the saddle and was away before
the guards could hardly realize what had hap
pened. COrbett has been more o. less violent
for some time and he has made numerous
threats that he would escape and would kill
the governor, state officers, probate Judge and
others who had anything TO do with his incar-
ceration. A guard was hurriedly dispatched
to the state house TO warn the officials. The
police were informed and policeman and a
guard patrolled the grounds until noon. 1t is
supposed now that instead of starting for the
city Corbett started for his home in Cloud
county.

Divorces in Paris,

Chicago has a proveroial reputation here
for the multiplicity Of its divorces and the
expedition with which they are obtained.
OF course, slow going old world people
cannot be expected to compete with you on
that score. But l doubt if ever divorces
were granted for more grotcsque reasons
than here in Paris Here, for example, is a
divorce granted to q man for no other reason
than that his wife would not let him read all
the letters she wrote and received A COM
panion case is that Of q woman who got
divorce from her husband because he objected
TO her having lover, and made it unpleas-
ant for the latter to visit her at her house
Apparently these are considered good and
sufficient reasons, for they excite no comment
on the part of the public. In Marseilles a
man has just been allowed divorce because
his wife refused to give him the money she
earned By taking in sewing. In Lyons a
divorce was based on the inability of the
couple to agree as to the training Of their
children. And so it goes on. The number
of divorces granted and the frivolity Of, the
grounds on which they are based increase

e japanese gets his lodging and all his meals;
but foreigners are so clumsy, untidy and de-
structive, and their tastes so out of the range
of japanese catering, that they are made to
pay the higher price, and it includes for
them the lodging and bedding, and all the
tea, rice and hot water they may want. Ii
fish, fowl or eggs are provided they are paid
for as extras. Foreigners, in travelling in the

along with them, and carry with them black

will be unable to find those foreign necessi-

the chairs are straight, hard and uncornfort-

TO SinhOn Lake Tahoe.

s. f. Mathewson, an expert civil engineer.
has been looking over the situation in this
state relating to practical irrigation Of unre-
claimed land. The Reno Gazette reports him
us saying that he believes there is enough
water in Lake Tahoe to irrigate 100000
acres, or all of the available land in western
Nevada But he doesn't believe in running a
tunnel four or five miles to tap the lake He
believes that the water can be taken out Of
the lake with an iron. siphon, and at one
twentieth of the expense The siphou need
not be more than a mile and n half long.
The difference in the elevation Of Lake Tahoe
and Carson valley being somewhat more than
400 feet, the power generated would be equal
to not less than 81, 600 horse power.
This same principle could be applied not
only to Carson valley, but to Truckee Mead
ows. Mason valley and all other valleys in
the vicinity. By series of check valve mo-
tons the water could be taken out of the
siphon anywhere between the highest point
on the lake and the lowest i'll the valley. By
The use of this enormous water pressure ali
kinds Of manufacturing establishments could
be started, and the land OF sand and sage
brush might not only be made to bloom and
blossom, but be covered with manufacturing
villages as in New England. Mr. Mathew
son saws it is only question of time when
something OF this kind will be done to re-
claim all our Nevada land--Virgila City

"Now, then" said dealer, 'sIet us look at
the matter in another light. Is the adultera-
uon-a better word for which would be re-
duction-of spices injurious to the health!
Take pepper, for instance, and mustard
also. Very few people would use pepper if
they could buy it as cheap as the ordinary
kinds sold, because it is too strong. 1t is re-
duced with buckwheat middlings a very
mild adulterant certainly, with some roasted
cocoanut shell. which is perfectly harmless,
thrown i'll for coloring mixture. Ia the
case of mustard the use of wheat -four is be-
feved to be conducive to the health of the
consumer, and the limerick used for color
ing is used in small quantities and cannot
hurt any one
almond and cocoanut shells, with mealy
substances as the base, are used in the manu-
facture of most all spices There is no great
er profit to either the jobbing or retail trade
in selling the adulterated goods, but the lat
ter are kept and sold because of the demand

pure articles Very likely, too, the reduced
spices would be more sought for at the same
price in many instances, if brought into COM

may be taken for granted that no reputable
manufacturer will knowingly Use any adul-
terantS which are deeterious in their nature
or injurious in the quantities used.
In coffee there is less adulteration now
than formerly, most of the trade being in the
berry roasted and sold whole The high
prices prevailing just now for the cheaper
coffeeS has caused some demand for the chic
DRY and roasted pea compounds, which are
sold ground, in bulk The poorer class
of private consumers only buy this
kind of coffee at the stores But
the advance in price has caused demand for
chicory and peas among the large restaur-
ants, dispensing fragrant coffee at five cents
a cup, and doubtless there are many persons
who have learned TO love the strength of chic
DRY and have grown fond of the healthful
pea, which contains % per cent. of nourish-
ment, and IS not as trying On the nerves as
real strong pure coffee.

chicory at the store just as they do their /
coffee, and do the mixing at home to suit /
themselves. | knew an old gentleman when /
L was in the trade some years ago who always .
called for that twelve cent coffee which he .
said he liked because it contained more peas
than coffee
In conclusion, he stated that the whole sub
Ject of reduction or adulteration was one
which was not fully understood by the pub
lie, and not always correctly stated by the
press. The very word collaboration meant
poison TO many people, who labored under The
delusion that they were being defrauded and
endangered in health as a consequence of the

tacture in the line of food products.-Chicago

A Story of Jesse James.

''Now that am on the subject of trotting,"
said Secretary Hall, of Detroit, in the rotunda
of the Merchants, Il am reminded of an in
cident that took place in 1915 ct the Kansas
City meeting. There were several thousand
people congregated in the vicinity of the
ticket office, when suddenly band of men
rode into the inclosure and began discharging
firearms apparently right into the crowd.
As they expected, there was general scatter
ing, and ere the people collected their senses
the ticket man had been overpowered and
his cash box, containing about 81 200 taken
away by the members of the shooting party,
who turned out to be members of the Jesse
James gang. Rewards were offered for the
detection and arrest of the perpetrators, but
nothing ever came OF 1T.
'The next summer, one day while travelling
along the road toward Independence Mission,
l met single horsenlan, and we soon became
engaged in conversation. We did not ex-
change cards or names, but rode along into
the town on pretty good terms. and few
moments after we separated | learned that
my companion was none other than the
notorious Jesse James himself 1t was his
crowd that had robbed my ticket seller year
before, but | did not recognize him as one Of
the participants. Among the people 1t was
the general impression, and l have never
heard it contradicted from a reliable source,
that Jesse James scorned to enact the role of
a highwayman when single person was con-
cerned, but took delight in frightening
large crowds when in search of booty. His
men knew that shooting over the heads of
the spectators would alarm them fully as
much and create more of a panic than by
killing people in cold blood, and hence their
forays were always attended with great
deal of noise but little violence toward their
yictims-St. Paul Globe
