STRANGE ADVENTURE
Two Young Men Come IN Contact

Two Young Men Come IN Contact
v iJh a Z eadless Figure.
From the Albany tGG.J Neirs aud advertiser.
Several nights since, as two welI-known
young men of the city were walking in the
neighborhood of the Baptist church their
attention was attracted to a tall figure that
stood under the shadow Of an oak.
Moved by some subtle influence they
stopped and peered through the gloom at
the tall figure, and then, with some mis-
glvlngs, they advanced toward it. As they
neared the tall figure they sought to elicit
some expressio from it by bedinage, but
the tall figure remained as motionless and
silent as statue, until the young men were
in two feet of it.
Then with dismay they discovered that
the figure was the headless trunk Of a man,
but before they could put their inclination
to fly into.execution the long arms of the
figure smote each of them with terrific
blows, causing them to fall like sticks at his
feet.
When they recovered an hour afterward
the ghostly visitor was gone, but there was
no indication that violence had been done
either of them, and they we're not long in
leaving the spot where they encountered
such a strange adventure.
One of these young men, who prefers that
his name shall not be given for the present
at least, was the reporters Informant of the
story as related above.
He said that when struck by the headess
figure, he experienced no pain, but a SEN
sation like the tingling of a slight electric
shock passed through his frame, and then
he became completely paralyzed. He did
not lose consciousness, but could not move
muscle nor could he utter the slightest ,und.
While in this condition the tall figure
bent over his PROSTATE form and that of his
| companion also, and made a hurried search
of their pockets. While doing this the head
less neck was brought close to his eyes, and
forever photographed itself upon his mem.
ory. When the figure had completed the
search OF his own and his companions pock-
cts sigh of disappointment came forth
from the ori6ce of its neck, and then, lay
| ing hand on himself and companion, each
of them became totally unconscious, and, as
before stated, when they recovered the
ghostly figure was gone.
From another source the reporter learned
that for some time past some of the resi-
dents in that portion of the city where
| these young men had their strange advent
ure have been troubled at night by strange
| and unnatural noises around their HON es,
the mystery of which they have not been
able to solve, but which are probably &C.
counted for in the meeting which the young
| men had with the headless figure.
And the question now is, is that figure
the body of some unfortunate who lost his
head in an accident of some kind and is
now wandering in search of it! or is some
practical joker armed with an electric ma
chine!

JEWISH HOLIDAYS.

Next Monday, October l2th, or the tenth
day of Tishri, Yom Kipur, the day of atone
ment, fast day, will be celebrated by the
Jews, and the Jewish firms generally will
do no business, Mr.. Stock of this city will
then close his doors and no transactions will
be made On the 18th will be feast day,
but this will not be celebrated by the clos
Jewish New Year, crash Hoshanah, ="
which began at $50 p. IN. on Friday. The
End of October commences with them the
year 566l. According to Hebrew chrono-
logy it is 566l years since the beginning of
creation, Rash Hoshanah lasted until Sun
day evening. The months of the Jewish
calendar are Nissan, Syar, Swan, Tamae,
Alb, Elul, Tishri, Marchisvan, Kisley. Tibet,
Shebat and Adar, with second Adar added
for each lunar year. The difference in leap
year is explained as follows: The lunar
year which comprehends twelve lunar
months, or 354 days. 8 hours and 4S minu-
tes, was in use among the Chaldeans, Persi-
ans and ancient Jews. Once in every three
make the solar and lunar year nearly agree.
But, though the months were lunar, the
year was solar. That is, the first month
was of thirty days and the second twenty
six, and so alternately. The month added
triennially was called the second Adar. So
then, as the Jewish year is the lunar year,
the new year would not commence on Jam
uary Ist, as is now the custom. If a record
had been kept of all the years since man
began to note the flight of time, the aggre-
gate number representing the sum OF all
the years would be big one. Over and
over again men have begun and counted up
to 25OO or $500 or $500 or $500 years, and
then some convulsion began and the old
count lapsed and the new series began.
The 1891 years, that is, the date used III
business and generally, represents not the
hundredth part of the years that have
elapsed since the ''morning stars sang to-
gether" on the advent of the dawn of the
new, "well-finished" world, long, long ago,
in the dim morning of time.

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child liv-
ing in region of country where fever and
ague is prevalent, since the germs of ma
larial disease are inhaled from the air and
are swallowed from the water of such a
region. Medicinal safeguard is absolutely
necessary to nullify this danger. As a
means of fortifying and acclimating the sys.
tenn SO as to be able to resist the malarial
poison, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is in.
comparably the best and the most popular.
Irregularities of the stomach, liver and
bowels encourage malaria; but these are
speedily rectifed by The bitters. The func-
tions of digestion and secretion are assisted
by its use, and vigorous as we'll as regu-
lar condition of the system promoted by it..
Constitution and physique are thus defen-
ded against the inroads of malaria by this
matchless preventive, which is also GER
tain and thorough remedy in the worst
cases of intermittent and remittent fever.

AMMONIA BAKING POWDERS MUST
GO.
BAKING POWDER BEL PASSED BY THE MIN
NESoTA SENATE.

| The recent newspaper discussion of the
dangerous qualities of ammonia comes from
! the alarming increase Of its use in baking
| powders. People who absorb ii in small
! quantities nom day to day suffer from slow
ammonia poisoning. Taken internally in
sufficient quantities it eats away the coating
of the stomach and intestines and causes
death. Slow ammonia poisoning produces
various forms of stomach trouble.
| Not one woman in ten thousand would
use an ammonia baking powder if she knew
it. Such powders net only undermine the
| blotched complexion.
Following is the bill recently passed by
| the Minnesota senate. It's the danger sig-
nal which the law throws out for the pro-
| lection of the people:
A BILL FOR AN ACT TO REGULATE THE TRAF-
FIc IN BAKING POWDER.
Section Amy person who shall know.
ingly sell or procure the sale, or offer for
sale OF any package or can of Baking Powd-
er, containing any Ammonia in it, not dis
tinctly, legibly and durably branded, stamp
ed or marked in a CONSPICUOUS place with
the words in the English language ''This
Baking Powder contains Ammonia" in let
ters of great plea, or any letters equivalent
thereto in length, shall be guilty misde-
meanor, and punished by fine not less
than $40 nor more than $50; shall be con-
fined in the County Jail not less than ten Or
more than twenty days or by both fine and
imprisonment, at the discretion of the
court.
Section 2-The sale or offer for sale of
the substance mentioned in the foregoing
section in packages not stamped, marked,
branded or Labelled as therein required,
shall be prima. .facie evidence Of knowledge
of the character of said substance, on the
part of the person SO selling or offering for
sale and his employer.
Section 3-This Act shall be in force on
and after its passage.
NoTE.-An incident occurred in the house
when the senate bill came up for passage,
in reference to an amendment proposed by
Mr.. Diment. This was opposed by several
members. Mr. Feig said that if the bill as
it came from the senate was alright then the
amendment was all wrong. The amend
ment compelling the printing Of the word
s'Ammonia" ON the label only affected only
affected the Royal Baking Powder, and no
wonder they felt the senate bill was blow

COLLEGE COLUMN.

The agricultural college has cohs
tlnual increasing attendalice. CLASSIC
tications have all been made. and the
work moves dn. The first year, sec.
tion A, in English, is going over the
hardest ground-the first month Of
brushing up the memory. Mind cul-
ture is the beautiful idea with tile per-
| sistent, active student: 1t is almost
useless to appear at recitation with
out well-learned lesson, and this
class will realize the potency Of this
thought when the examination comes
round
That's good class in political econ-
omy, but political economy is IL strong
subject for study. The country will
need politicians with the rising genera;
ton just as it does now, but to be
successful they will have to be mighty
good ones The progress of enlighten-
ment among all classes is moving with
momentous force at the present day.
The social Friday evening last was 1t
very pleasant happening: Besides
chocolate and sandwiches, "a spelling
match was engaged in, and this, too,
was interesting.
The organization Of the regular
literary societies has been completed,
and Friday evenings are the times of
meeting. This is an important factor
in college life, and no pains should be
spared to make them interesting and
stirred with enthusiasm.
The question of publishing a collego
paper has recently been agitated to
some extent, but without apparent in
terest. 1t would be found that sucla
an institution would meet with general
public approval, if managed upon a
proper basis, and there is no reason
why it should not be established.
The new buildings in course of con-
struction around the college are being
pushed to completion and every con-
venlence will be afforded this year.

A Wonder Worker.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, a young man of Bur:

the care of two prominent physicians, and
used their treatment until he was not able
to get around. They pronounced his case
to be Consumption and incurable. He was
persuaded to try DIR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds and at
the time was not able to walk across the

he had used half of dollar bottle, that he
was much better; he continued to use it and
