MORRIS, ILL.,, Oct. Thames Max
we'll was hanged here at l0:47 this morn
ing for the murder of Charles Decker
last June. He was game to the last.
Lastuight when the sheriff showed some
signs Of trepidation at the task before
him, Maxwell said, Brace up. old man.
You are much more troubled. about this
thing than | am." He slept well and ate
break fast with apparent relish. His
spiritual advisers received a severe shock
this morning when they went into admin
ister the last words of consolation.
An entcrPrising reporter had been be-
fore them. He assumed the guise of
minister with the idea of getting an inter.
view. He failed, for when the newspaper
representative began to question him as
to his spiritual welfare Maxwell threw off
the religious mask which he had hitherto
worn and drove the visitor from him with
= string OF curses of the most sulphurous
sort. When the sheriff began TO read the
death warrant 10 a trembling voice, Max
well interrupted him with, Stop that
thing as soon as possible. His wish was
complied with and be was at once con
Quoted to the gallows. The drop fell and
the victim was dead in six minutes.
Maxwell was hanged for the murder of
Charles Decker last spring while burglari-
Eing Decker's house.
Just before leaving his cell Maxwell
handed the sheriff a big knife saying that
he might have killed himself halt n dozen
times if he had wanted to.

Well, If not positively the best, one of
the wisest is he who CHECKS disease at the
start in his own system. Ia preserving
or restoring the heaven granted gift of
health, he deserves profound consider

us are largely attributable to a want OF

afflicted by ourselves upon the much
abused repository of the food that

New YoRK, Oct. 17.-Never before
in the memory of the Oldest mariner along
the water front have the East and North
rivers been SO dangerous and boisterous.
AT 9 o'clock this morning when the tide
was about at its height, the river about
the battery aud bay as far as the eye
could see was as fierce and choppy as n
stormy sea ever witnessed along the coast.
The wind was blowing forty miles an
hour from north-northwest. Only the
largest and staunchest vessels ventured
out. Later the wind moderated.
At Patterson, Scott Nixon, a brake
man on the Lackawana railroad, while on
the roof of a freight car, passing down
the spur. near Getty avenue was carried
off by the wind and seriously injured.
The gale in the bay aided by a strong
ebb tide caused a collision this afternoon
between the big tug boat, James A. Gar
field, and the freight boat Amos G. Bars
tow, OF the S~tonington Steamship COM
panY. The Garfield went to the bottom.
John Steel and John Lyons were drowned,
while seven other men on the tug were
rescued by the Barstows crew and the
crews of other tugs. Capt. Henderson,
of the Garfield, has his arm aud Jaw
broken.
BosToN, Oct. l7.-Adviees from vari-
Gus points along the New England coast
report the most violent gale of the season
raging and several vessels in precarious
positions. Considerable loss to Shipping

A Thousand Years Ago.

In the year 900 after Christ what was
the state OF Europe? The Cloths, the
Vandals. the Franks. the Huns, the Nor
mans, the Turks and other barbario
hordes had invaded and overthrown the
Roman empire, and had established
various kingdoms upon its ruins. Read
ing, writing and ciphering were separate
and distinct trades. The masses of the
poor and nch alike were wholly I'M
acquainted with the mysteries of the
alphabet aud the pen. A few men
known as CLERKS" who belonged to the
priesthood, monopolized all learning and
set themselves up as special artists.
Kings did not know how to even sign
their names. When they wanted to
sign a written contract, law or treaty,
which some clerk" had drawn up for
them, they would smear the right hand
with ink, and slap it down on the parch-
ment, saying. Witness my hand"
AT a later date some genius devised
the substitute of the seal. which was
impressed instead of the hand, but
oftener beside the hand; hence the law
phrase, witness my hand and seal. Z"
AT the date of which we write every
gentleman had a seal with a peculiar de
vice thereon. There were no chimneys
in use; the fire was built in the center
of the house, smoke escaping through a
hole in the roof. Chairs were unknown.
knives and forks were unknown. Even
the nobility sat on boxes and blocks and
ate meat with their fingers.-St. Louis

In the ordinary processes of the loom
the warp threads are always kept paral-
lei in whatever way the weft threads
may be twisted around them. But in
making game two adjoining warp
threads are completely twisted around
each other between the two rows of the
shuttle or casts of the welt. Some Pc
culiar sppendages Of the loom are re-
CURED to effect this. One consequence
of the mode of in~terlacing is that the
texture is light, the welt threads being
further apart than would be practical in
other webs. In appearance, as well as
in mode of producing, gauze occupies a
kind of medium position between plain
weaving and plain lace or bobinet.-

Topeka, Kas., Oct. ia decision
was rendered in the United States circuit
court of this city this morning that created
CONSERVATION among the friends Of pro-
hibition in Kansas. The decision allows
the re-opening of the original package
liquor houses in this state and in effect
declares that the Wilson bill enacted by
congress does not restore the power of the
Kansas prohibitory law as against the
original package saloons. The facts in
the case are that Charles Raher, agent for
a Kansas City liquor house was arrested
for selling liquor in Topeka after the pas
sage Of the Wilson bill. The defendant
applied to the United States circuit court
tor a writ of habeas corpus admitting that
he sold liquor as charged but he claimed
that lnasmuch as the Kansas prohibitory
law was enacted before the Wilson bill,
that the Wilson bill did not apply.
Judges Foster and Phillips sustained this
view and granted the writ.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Oct. lT.-Judge
Stoneham OF the supreme court decided
today that the state prohibition law was
null and void as far as the sale of original
packages was concerned.

carries brittle silver and copper and runs
high in gold. Over a thousand feet is
