1.-THE END.1
A NOVEL PLAN,

How an English Inn Provided for Per-
sons with q Cold In the Head.
Nothing but travel, and extensive
travel at that, will give a person a
full idea of the queer ways that there
are in the world. An American who
was not long since journeying through
the midland counties Of England re.
lates that in small country town he
once entered an inn rather pretentious
for the place and called for turbot-a
favorite dish in those parts.
The American had had few days OF
dense fog, and his appearance and man
ner perhaps showed that he had become
a little wheezy in consequence of the
climate. He was forced to have fire..
quent recourse to his pocket handker.
chief.
When the turbot was brought, the
guest fancied, even before it reached his
plate, that it was no longer fresh; and
an attempt to eat it confirmed that i'm
preston. He called the proprietor, who
at once sent a waiter for fresh turbot,
and removed the Objectionable fish.
81 beg yer parding, sir" said the inn
keeper, "but we got the idee, sir, as you
came in, that you had a bad cold in yer
'ead, SIR"
"And suppose 1 had? What would
that have to do with my being served
spoiled fish?" exclaimed the American,
somewhat Indignantly.
"Heverythink, sir. We has this rule
in this 'ouse: fish as is a leetle doubt
full, like that ere, sir-them which has
lost the SAVIOR of youth. as may say
them we serves to parties as appears
to ave colds in their 'eads. sir; and we
finds that, bein' as such parties can't
smell nothink, they likes the fish just
as well, sir, and hoften they prefer

THE OLDEST PENSIONER.
Death of Mrs Annie Hyde at the Age
of 1O4.

Death OF MIS- Annie Hyde at the Age
of 1O4.
PEEKsKILI., N. V, Aug. 26.-Mrs An
ME Hyde died at the home of her
grand nephew, John Salisbury, on
North avenue, FishlSin Landing, near
here, aged 104 years, months and 20
days She was well known centena-
rian and the oldest person along the
Hudson river, and probably in the en-
pire state. Mrs. Hyde was born in
Fishkill Village, N. V, April 90, 1889,
preceding by two days the Inaugural
ton of George Washington as the first
president of the United States. She
was the oldest pensioner on the PEN
sion rolls of the United States govern
ment, drawing a monthly stipend of
e12. Her husband was a veteran of the
war of 1912. During the past few
years her condition has remained about
the same. She has had the best of
health and has been cheerful. although
deaf. She had a poor eyesight and
crippled limbs. Still she had no sick
days. Her death was not from all
ment proper. but simply a giving out
of the vital forces For two weeks
past she has been growing weaker, and
had no desire to sit up. For two days
she had taken no food, and but little
nourishment DIR. Strong was called
in to see the old lady on Sunday, and
he said the end was near then. She
passed away quietly. She has outlived
all her direct relatives, and for forty
years had resided with her grand
nephew, Mr.. Salisbury.

when. all Of a sudden, q connection Of
some sort carried every idler in the
square to certain corner of it. 1t
doesn't take long to mass crowd in
that locality, and before could make
up my mind whether to sit out or try to
leave the square in advance of the
ragged forerunners, two policemen were
almost abreast of me, dragging between
them a woman in a beastly state OF In
toxication.
AT sight of her, Ninette, there, set
up a howl: Celeste. Celeste! my Ce-
leste.'
THE mob came to q standstill. The
woman had wrenched herself free and
darted towards the child. She was on
her knees, clutching the little thing S
skirts, and weeping piteously over her.
1T is my Ninette!-my little Ninette!
They are taking your Celeste to jail.
Beg for her, little one! plead for your
Celeste! They say she is drunk. Plead
for her, little onev But Ninette, terri
fed beyond reason, pushed her away,
and chung to my neck, shouting: Take
her away! take her away! 1t isn't my
Celcste.'
'Then, by the Lord Harry, Norrie, if
ever you saw a face become sud-
denly viperish, that fiend's did. The
policemen dragged her forward. She
laughed, and shook her fist in the child's
face. Little beast! what does it mat
ter? l have had all the revenge want
out of the Lorimers and the Fairbanks
and the Hemways.'"
Nora started violently. "Out of the
Hemways? Oh, Dennis, can it be She

Slowly, cautiously, the slight indis-
cretion of n vengeful outburst was
woven in and out with every strand of
circumstantial evidence, until, standing
at bay, the French woman, under Sc
we're interrogation, made her confession
of guilt with fierce recklessness born
of despair.

WIN Seek Relief from Congress.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3O.-The set
tiers upon 200, 900 acres of land in the
San Joaquin valley affected by cir
cult court decision recently rendered
by Judge Ross will petition congress
for relief. These settlers have COM
piled with the requirements of the
United States relative to the acquisi-
ton of the title. The Southern Pacific
Railroad Co. claimed the right to Sc
lect lands in the territory concerned.
Land Commissioner Sparks decided the
company had no right to the lands.
The company then instituted a test
suit, which was decided in its favor.
The settlers believe that the justice of
their request will be recognized at
Washington and the desired relief DO
promptly granted.

REDUCING HARosHlPs.
Gov. Swineford Mindful Of the Necessities
OF Strip Settlers.

Gov. Swinef0rd Mindful of the Necessities
OF Strip Settlers.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Aug 30.-When, Sep
TENDER 16, the great rush into the Cher
okee strip occurs, the people entering
upon these new lands will be relieved
OF one hardship from which the first
homeseekers of Oklahoma greatly suf-
fered-the lack of water. Gov SWINE
ford, with considerate foresight, has
awarded contracts for the sinking
OF wells at each county seat and
town laid out, and these wells
will be sufficiently large and nu-
merous to furnish ample supply of wa
ter to every man and beast entering
the new territory. Work upon several
and all will be completed before the
opening date.
Another fact of interest connected
with the Cherokee immigration is the
certainty that it will differ from pre-
vious events of the kind in being
controlled by law. The bill pro-
viding for the opening makes
the strip a portion of Oklahoma
the moment it becomes free to settle
ment and its settlers amenable to the
law of the territory. Gov. Swineford
is now selecting sheriffs and probate
judges for each county of the Cherokee
region aud will place them in the re-
spective county seats with full author
ity several days before the opening.
There is surety that the Cherokee
opening will not occasion rioting and
lawlessness in the same measure that
has attended former openings of lands
to settlement

CAUSES oE HIccoueH.

Intermittent Contractions of Larynx and
Diaphragm Due to Indigestion.
Hiccoughs are too well known and
too difficult to define. Although in.
voluntary. they are considered SO very
vulgar th:t in polite circles the victim
makes his or her excuses and retires-
The explosive and exhaustive little
cough is caused by the intermittent
contractions of the 1arynx and dia-
phragm. 1t is generally regarded as an
indication of disordered liver, but in
children, it is an unmistakable symp-
tom of indigestion. AS rule it is
Hpasmodic and passes off without need
of treatment At times the attack is
serious, being distressing to the indi-
vidual and annoying to his associates,
and should be promptly treated
One source of relief is swallow of
cold water. A fit of hiccough can be
cured by sprinkling water ON the face;
dashing a handful in the face is not a
pleasant surprise from a devoted friend
or mother, but it is a sure cure, due,
perhaps, as much to the sudden revul-
sion of feeling as to the water If a
baby has hiccough it is an indication
that he has had far too much dinner;
change of position will bring relief, a
favorite one being to put the well-fed
youngster on his stomach across the
lap of his nurse.
An attack of hiccoughs in children Is
frequently followed by bad night,
either sleeplessness or the nightmare.
OF course, the mistake was in the sur
felt; the mother or the nurse must
bear the blame and find n xyay m sfimu-
late digestion. 1t will be hard to keep
the infant awake and dangerous to
battle him within three hours, but the
: old mans maxim may be tried on the
smallest toddler:
After dinner sit while.
After supper walk a mile.

Requests for Seed Wheat.

from western counties for seed wheat
continue to pour in upon Secretary
Henderson of the state board of rail-

mail brought requests as follows: Ness

Thomas, $4,000; Lane, 81 1000; Wichita,
10, 600; Stanton, 5000; Sheridan, 5000;
Ford, 5000; total, 1885, 900. These are
all in excess of the original estimates
and if all the other counties increase
their demands in proportion the full
amount required will be not less than
300, 900 bushels

SITTING BULL AND A CANNON.
Ont oRa

How He and His Warriors Were Scared
Out of q Theater.
Fifteen years ago times were lively
In Dakota, and Fargo was a booming
town Of twelve thousand people. Half
a dozen theatrical enterprises were in
full blast, and a seventh manager
opened a new house, the magnifcence
of which far outshone that of its COM
petitors. The theater was to be opened
Monday evening, and that morning the
train from the west brought the great
Sioux chief, Sitting Bull, with small
party of Indians, who were en- route to
Washington to see the Great Father.
The new management secured the at
tendance of the warriors for the open
ing Of his house, and the hundreds
of "tenderfeet" who had never yet
seen q real Indian in war paint paid
fabulous prices for seats.
The closing feature of the programme
was an act performed by a female
trapeze performer who was advertised
to possess wonderful strength in her
jaws.
The stage manager announced that
she would hang suspended from the
trapeze bar by her knees and support q
heavy cannon with her teeth while It
was discharged. At sight of the cannon
Sitting Bull and his men began to show
signs of uneasiness. They shifted about
in their seats nervously. Two men
lifted the canon and left it dangling
from the woman's jaws. The muzzle
of the weapon swung on level with
the Indians headdress.
Sitting Bull and his warriors by this
time had become extremely nervous.
They looked at each other inquiringly,
as if they suspected that they had been
drawn into a trap and were to be de-
liberately slaughtered. They jabbered
at each other excitedly and SO far for
got their stoicism as to look over their
shoulders. Finally everything was in
readiness; the stage manager stepped
back, gave the string he held a jerk,
there was a fash and a roar, and out
of the cloud of smoke that shot into
the parquet Sitting Bull and his war
riors sprang, wildly shouting as they
made their way down the aisle, strik
ing madly right and left with the long
stemmed stone pipes which they car
ried. No attempt was made by the
audience to stop the Indians, who
made their way outside, and didn't
stop running until they reached the
hotel For once the fearless chief of
the Sioux was unnerved.-Kate Fields

DECISIVE ACTION.

Ashland. Wis Cuts the Railway Trestles
Which Have Always Been q Menace.
ASHLAND, Wis, Aug. 26.-The fight
between railroads and the city of Ash
land reached elimination when the
street commissioner took force of men
and started cutting away the piling
under the railway trestles, which have
always been a menace to the main
thoroughfare. Injunctions were served
but too late to save the trestles entire
ly, which are in a shaky condition as a
result of several piles being removed.
This is the first time the city has taken
any definite action, and the whole pop
ulation is stirred up over the matter.

Anthrax Subsiding.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 30.-Informa-
ton received by the state board of live
stock commissioners shows that an
thrax, the new stock disease, is disap-
pearing from Clay county. This graft
flying fact is attributed to the recent
rains in that county. The commonly
accepted theory is that the disease
germs are generated in dust, and the
lust being blown upon the grass
the disease is com municated to
the stock which eat the grass Rain
washes the disease germs into the
streams, but that is said not to affect
the fish therein, as only warm blooded
animals are subject to the malady.

THE WORLDS FAIR SCANDAL
Beeson and His Female Partner Focused

Beeson and His Female Partner Focused
for Observation.
WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 30.-News OF
the worlds fair scandal developed in
Chicago few days ago, in which Com
missioners Beeson, of Oklahoma, and
Mercer, of Wyoming, are involved, was
received here with considerable inter-
est, as Beeson was a prominent politi-
clan of southern Kansas before moving
to Oklahoma. This removal did not
actually occur until he was appointed
worlds fair commissioner.
The dispatches gave the name of the
woman charged with trying to obtain
money in return for an award as Mrs.
E. l. Harmon-Anson. 1t is thought here
that the woman may be Miss Emma /.
Harmon, Blossoms sister-in-law. While
he was postmaster at Caldwell she was
his money order clerk, and after his
term expired she developed into a
republican and became a candidate for
the Office herself. She had indorse-
ments galore from prominent Indiana
statesmen but few at home, and she
did not get the office. While at Cald-
well, it is said she claimed to be a
private detective, and was frequently
seen disguised.
The description given of the Mrs.
E. l. Harmon-Anson suits her to dot.

Snubbed the Prince.

In spite of the privacy which Tenny-
son maintained many are the anecdotes
of him or of his household.
1t is told that once certain famous
prince of the house of Hanover, famil-
lar with the poets shrinking habits,
yet anxious to pay his respects to him,
found himself near Tennyson's home in
the Isle of Wight. The prince called,
unaccompanied and strictly incognito.
A page came to the door.
"Whom shall I say2"
1.-THE prince of Wales" was the reply.
Whereupon the page, performing a
gesture somewhat similar to one de
scribed by Tennyson as performed by
Lynette-in other words, putting his
dexter thumb to nose "tiptilted like
the petal of a flower'-playfully OBJ
served:
''Ha, yes; prince of Wales; we know
a trick worth two of that" and he
slammed the door in the face of his
royal highness.-Chicago Tribune.
