INSTALMENT.

The instalment plan of payment has been
adopted as best calculated to meet the wants
of all classes, although our Certificates can
be paid for I'm one or more payments by
those desiring to do so. The advantages
of being allowed to pay for a Certificate in
small monthly payments will be appreciated
by the majority of those who wish to visit the
Worlds Fair, and will enable very many to
come who, If they waited until the opening"
would not have the ready money. Another
great advantage is In knowing beforehand
Just how much IL will cost, and having no an
noyance or uncertainty to anticipate.

preparing opium from tho Poppy.

A Boston merchant makes some reve-.
lations that will not make things very
pleasant for opium users. "The process
of preparing opium from the poppy, as
practiced in India and Persia to-day"
said he, ''is very nearly the same as was
employed eighteen hundred years ago.
AS the capsules mostly abound in the
narcotic juice, it is from these the opium
is procured. A few days after the fall
of the flower, men and women proceed
to the fields and make horizontal in.
cisions in the capsule, being careful not
TO cut too deep, so the juice does not es-
cape, into the capsule. A white Juice
exudes and appears in the form Of .
tear upon the edges. of the incision,
which is allowed TO remain twenty-four
hours, when IT. is scraped of and col
lected in smaller vessels and beaten,
being moistened with saliva; only one
tear being obtained from . single plant"

OF . Travelling salesman While
Down In Missouri. IS.

Down In Missouri. S..
A travelling salesman who is in the
employ of an eastern medicine firm has
had an experience that he will not soon
forget. He was driving along in the
timber which skirts Grindstone Creek,
Mo. The warm weather had made him
drowsy and he had fallen into doze,
when his team suddenly stopped and
snorted, as if in fear.
He was awake in a moment, says the
Marysville (Mo.) Republican, and
looked to see what excited his team.
He could see nothing except large log
that was lying across the road ahead of
him some thirty or forty yards. He
urged his team forward, but the ami
mails refused to move and showed that
they were thoroughly frightened He
was puzzled. f.t .-. .---...
FINALLY he became suspicious that
probably some men were lying behind
the log waiting for him to drive up,
when they would rob him. Getting out
of his vehicle he turned his team
around in the road and securely fastened
them Then, taking from under the
seat n heavy revolver. he. advanced to-
ward the log, expecting each moment
kept on advancing, until he was close
enough to look over the log and see
that there was nothing to fear. The
peculiar appearance of the log attract
ed his attention, and, stepping up, he
put out his hand to feel the bark. ..'...
Horror of horrors! The supposed log
was nothing else than a monstrous
snake! Springing back some twenty
steps he fired upon the reptile. The
ball struck it and GLANCED off and went
whizzing through the leaves. With an
unearthly hiss the serpent dashed off
through the weeds and underbrush
with a arapidity and roar that could have
been heard at considerable distance
In its mnddened speed il broke off
bushes as thick as a mans wrist and as
it dashed through the creek the water
went churning and boiling into the air
asif sent by acyclone. 3 "
The medicine man stood awe-struck
for awhile, but, finally recovering his
senses, he began to investigate matters
for his own satisfaction. He concluded
from what he could see that the reptile
must have been not less than twenty
five feet long and rs large around the
belly as an ordinary sack of -four. The
color was of an ashen hue, with q slight
mixture of green. Near the place
where the head of the reptile lay the
medicine man found short pencil and
small piece of. paper, on which was
sscrawled something that could not be
read n 7sA5 $Ws
The supposition prevails that this
monster caught and swallowed some
ITafF En,
reptile was covering him with slime (as
all serpents do) preparatory to the act
of deglutition the poor victim tried to
write upon piece of paper the awful
fate that befell him. Our informant
stated that itwas the most thrilling and
exciting episode in his life, and that he
would not repeat it again for all of De-
Kalb county. sG I,ula...g 400

THEIR SHIP WENTDOWN
AND THE ENTIRE CREW OF 20
SOULS Persisted.
Ninety Persons Also Drowned In Russian

General Foreign News.
Twenty-Threo We're Drowned.

The large British vessel, Thracian,
which was being lowed TO Liverpool,
has been lost off the Isle of Man. Her
crew of 90 men went down with the
steamer. The captains wife was also
lost. Everything went well until the
wind freshened and in short time was
blowing a gale. The Thracian was in
ballast and she pitched and rolled
heavily. The strain on the towing
hawsers was so great that she found 1t
TO be impossible TO get other lines from
the towboats TO the steamer, and 1t
was equally impossible for any attempt
TO be made TO rescue those on board
the steamer. The gale increased in
violence and the towboatS were com
PEELED to heave TO TO ride out the
storm. The night was extremely dark
and it is not exactly known what
happened aboard the Thracian. The
superstition is, however. that she cap
sized. Those on the towboats saw hel
lights for some time after she went
adrift, but they were soon lost sight Of
When day broke no trace Of the Thra'
clan could be found and the tugs made
for port where they reported that she
had founderod.
The Thracian had been built al
Greenock for William Thompson o.
Nova Scotia and was being towed t.
Liverpool TO be rugged out. Most o.
! those ON board were Triggers who lvec
at Greenock, the great shipping port on
| the Clyde, below Glasgow.

st. Petersburg cable: The pleasure
steamer that was reported as having
been run down outside of Helsingfors
was named the Ajax. She was a
coaster and left Helsingfors with 100
excursioniSts on board. Her return
was delayed and she arrived off Hell
singfors after midnight. When the
narrowest part of the channel was
reached the steamer Runeberg was
met going ont The captain of the
Ajax attempted to cross the
bow of the Runeberg and later
alter her course. The excursion
lists. after the collision, ran hither and
thither wildly shrieSing for help. The
first report of the accident stated that
45 persons were lost but later details
show that the number was much
greater. Ninety persons are reported
| TO be missing, and of this number the
bodies OF 35 have been recovered.

ELLIS LATEST.
The Attorney Generals opinion Relative
to Power of Supervisors.

The Attorncy-GenerafS opinion heiatNe
to Power of Supervisors.
Acknowledgement Ellis has prepared
an opinion relative TO the power of the
board of supervisors TO divide counties
into representative districts at special
sessions. The Encouragement holds
that the statutes requiring this TO be
done at certain specified session is
like the constitutional one requiring
the legislature TO pass apportionment
acts at its next session after each
census, merely directory, and as the
legislature can pass these acts at a
special session, so is 1T valid Tor the
supervisors to divide the counties at
special session.
If supervisors of any county are sat
isfied with the divisions already made,
there is no need of holding a special
session, as these divisions can be re-
affirmed at the regular session in Dc
tober and notice of such action given
the secretary of state.
If nothing further is done in counties
where districts have been established
since the last census enumeration, the
courts will hold the districts good II
they are equitable as TO population.
Where no action is taken by the
supervisors previous TO their October
session, it win be assumed by the
secretary of state that the districts
now established are the legal districts
and notices of election will be given
accordingly. This opinion was asked
for by Chairman Mcmillan, of the Re
publican state central committee.
