Noble Volunteers.

PITTsBURG, Pa, September, To-
Pittsburg is prepared to render prac-
tical help to the yellow fever suffer
ers in Florida. Four well known
physicians have offered to join the
expedition, and several druggists to
compound medicine, and to be of gen.
eraI use. Many sisters of mercy are
willing to 60 to the death fields if
necessary. Mr.. Dickson is the only
married physician of the four. The
others are all single, and were there
fore in better position to volunteer
their services for such a hazardous
errand.

DEsMoINEs, Ia, September ia
supposed man named Miller, who
with his alleged wife and child had
lived near Sioux City, Iowa, several
years, was convicted last May Of horse
stealing, and sent to Fort Madison.
In the hospital there it was discovered
that Miller was in fact woman, and
she was sent to Anamosa prison. Mil
ler's reported wife was hunted up,
and the child supposed to be hers,
was found to be the child of people
named Moe. 1t was taken from her

woman claims to have married the
Miller woman, supposing she was a
man, and to have lived with her as a
wife to cover up the Miller woman's
deception.

horses in Turtle mountains Wednes-

forced to throw down his rifle, and
surrendered the horses. Then he was
driven to the nearest tree and lynch
ed. Wise came from Pennsylvania,
where it is said his family still re-

DR.. Hays. Now DIR. Robertson calls

public to judge. He says:

The Famous Fasting Doctor.

CHICAGO, Ills, September 15.-Dr.
H. s. Tanner, who became famous
about eight years ago by fasting forty
days in Clarendon hall, New York
City, arrived in Chicago yesterday
from Mexico. He is apparently in
perfect health, and his girth is such
as to suggest anything except aJ-sti-
hence from food. About the last
words. from the doctor previous to
his arrival here was that he was in
New Mexico living upon vegetable
diet. At present he eats two meals q
day in summer and one meal day
in winter. In an interview he said he
had been in Mexico for two years pur-
suing investigations into the subject
of suspended animation or counter
felt death. He is convinced large
numbers of people are annually buried
alive all over the world, and
from his study of various cases and rec
in Holland, and elsewhere, he is con-
cipal of life, that no one can under
take to say that it is extinct until de-
composition, the only sure sign, has
set in. He declares the dead in this
country are buried with indecency,
with criminal haste and that
burials of persons who are
not absolutely dead are murdered
Doctor is also pursuing another
branch of semi-suspended animation,
viz: HibernatiOn. He declares that
bears and other alternating animals
do not use their lungs during the hi
bernatlng season, and he is convinced
that man can hibernate also.

How to Preserve Fence.

There are several methods of presery-
ing fence posts for the purpose of increas-
in their lasting qualities. 1t has been
learned by experience that posts thorogh-
ly seasoned when set will outlast those
put into the ground when the wood is
green, and it has also been proved that
those set with the tops in the ground
will remain sound long after others from
the same quality of wood set with butts
down have decayed. Charring the ends
of the posts set in the ground drives out
the SAP contained in the wood and closes
the pores SO as to prevent the moisture
in the soil from penetrating it. This is
probably the cheapest method known
and has proved verv satisfactory. A
paint composed of linseed oil and finely
pulverized charcoal is very highly re-
commended. To prepare this put a
quantity of oil in strong kettle, place
over the fire and let it remain until it
boils, then stir in the charcoal until it is
as thick as ordinary paint, and apply q
liberal coat to the posts. Coal tar is used
by some instead of linseed oil, equal
parts of pulverized charcoal and quick
lime being used instead of the charcoal
alone. The proportions recommended
i've gallons of coal tar to one pound each
of tiaely pulverized charcoal and freshly
Stacked lime. The coal tar should bt
