YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE accident
awful illustration of the highly nervous
condition of number of people of this un-
fortunate city. Under ordinary circum-
stances and before the food there would
have been no catastrophe There has been a
disposition to draw morbid conclusions
from the Couemaugh calamity and it's
fastened itself upon the women, young
folks and upon many Of the excitable mid
die aged people. 1t has been common
thing to hear such remarks as you may
expect anything now"
Johnstown is undera curse. There has
been more or less disposition to go to the
theater whenever there was a chance in
order to try to forget the horrors of last
spring. Other amusements have also been
eagerly sought for the same purpose.
There is no exaggeration in saying there
has been an underlined. but unmistakable
feeling of forebodiDg Of coming i'll and
this is what led to the slaughte last night.
The bell which struck the tire was SO close
to the theater that ii seemed to be
in the building and never was
confusion more awful among frightened
human beings. Strong men sprang upon
the backs of those in front of them, with

struggle by some of the foreign mill work
men was as revolving as it was disastrous
in its results Blind fury and brute
strength were unclaimed together and the
result is seen in the list of dead and on the
bodies of the injured What began as all
attempt to get out 10 the street changed
as if by magic into a riot without reason
and scenes of manslaughter without cause
and without intent. No additional deaths
haye resulted, the number of dead, as be-
fore stated, being ten.

KANSAS CITY, No., Dec. ia special
from Ashland Kan, says: Further in
vestigation into the operations of the
American sugar company shows that the
recently exposed frauds were more extern
sive in this county than was at first esti-
mated. The company erected mill at
Mineola and asked the six surrounding
townships each to vote SIS, 600 in bonds for
its support that the sorghum industry
might be given good start in that vicin-
ity. The bonds were voted but had not
been delivered when the exposure was
made. The president of the COM

extraordinary product of the mill resulted
from what he defined as the roasting"
process, the secret of which he refused to
divulge. In realty refined sugar was
mixed with the sorghum syrup and the
combination palmed off on the farmers as
product of sorghum cane. The farmers
were delighted with the result and will
ingly voted the aid asked for.
Secretary Mohler of the state board of
agriculture, started from Topeka today to
make a thorough examination of the oper-
atlonS of the company and see what can be
done in the way of institutlng legal pro-

bright eyes attracted his admiration
Are your eyes new Ones2" and the
childish question was as high O com
pliment as that of the Irish laborcl
who requested the Duchess Of Devon
shire to let him light his pipe by bel
eyes. Some rarely beautiful orbs art
SO wondrously clear, scintillating ligh1
like gems, that such questions are MOI
difficult to understand.
What color in eyes is best entitled
to the claim Of beauty has never beer
definitely settled, as some people pre-
fer one color and some another; bu1
while really beautiful eyes are beauti
full in any color, brown and blue, es.
pecially the 80 called ''violet, are per
haps the most popular. Various &C
cessories 60 to make the beauty of az
eye, such as large, well fringed lid

like the palest sea shell, long, thicl
lashes shadowing the cheek, and vel
defined arched eyebrows. 80 impor
tant are these adjuncts that they viii
give beauty to eyes that are in them

Pictures in Marble.

Several hundred people were massed
all Of yesterday in the central court Of
the city hall craning their necks and
straining their eyes to see what the
small boys were trying to point out.
And when it caught their eyes what was
itG On one of the white marble stones
in the wall near the southeast corner
was a minute picture Of nude female
traced in the natural veining of the
stone. The figure was standing up
right, with arms stretched aloft and
hair streaming down the back, very
lifelike and quite artistic. There was
no little discussion Of how the sketch
got there. Some were inclined to lay
the blame ON one OF those wicked
street arabs who had failed to catch
the spirit Of Anthony Comstock's
teachings But 1t was nature that did
the work, and there the slender female
will stand as long as does the city
hall, unless the slab Of marble shall
be removed or a coat of whitewash
covers it. But il gave the groups Of
idlers lots Of wonderment yesterday.
Men, women and children waited
until their eyes had caught the curl.
GUS figure, and then they passed on
to let others get a sight and go in
peace. Other lifelike figures are traced
in the marble of tho city hall, and il
the curious get to work there is ma

Standing. 10 cents, by druggists.


A laughable but rather embarrassing
case Of mistaken identity occurred the
