) Complete EdurItion Education Now
Within Reach Of the Old and Young.
There is not an intelligent man in the
world but appreciates the value of educa-
ton and has occasion many times to re-
grCt the fact that he has either failed to
taka advantage of early opportunities or
perhaps been deprived altogether of the
advantages of higher educational institu-
ton, in his earlier life. 1t is too late for
him tC take up a regular course of study,
there being no time 10 devote to 1t amid
the myriad cares of active life.
But tho next best thing to a college
course is the possession of the results of
the ripo scholarship of others. and when
these results are %cpitoni2ed the ono who
has them at command has actually the

How 10 get these results is an important
question, but we have answered it for our
readers by putting within their reach that

HAZLEToN, Pa. July 5.-One year
ago Charles Boyer Of Morrisons was
married. Nine months later he was a
widower. He became crazsd with
grief eventually, and as a result his at
Fiction produced a dementia pro-
nounced incurable. He raved contin-
ually about his wife and entertained
the idea that she had been foully dealt
with. So strongly did he believe In
this that his friends decided to disinter
the body. They did so aud the body
wasefound face downwards and all the
evidence which goes to show that the
III had been buried alive was
plainly apparent. The glass in the lid
of the coffin was broken to atoms. The
shroud enveloping the form was torn
to shreds. The limbs were twisted and
distorted, the hair matted and in her
hands she clinched a bunch of it. Those
who were engaged in disinterring the
body fell back. entirely overcome. The
most composed man in the party was
the demented husband. He assumed
an air OF complacency and assisted in
the work of ~rearranging the body. He
has shown no signs of mental aberra-
ton since, and from all appearance his
mental powers have been restored.

Chamberlain dispatch, 80: Messrs'
Evermann, Cox and Butler, representing
the Smithsonian institute, OF Washing
ton, ID. c., have been in this vicinity
gathering fish from the streams in this
section. The party succeeded In secur-
ing some excellent specimens. From
White river they caught about twenty
good specimens, among them being a
catfish weighing forty pounds. Another
curiosity taken from White river was a
catfish having a bill similar to the bill of
a s~wordfsh. Crow creek furnished the
largest number of specimens, about
forty having been taken from that
stream. The party made the discovery
that the waters of both these streams
are heavily ~impregnated with alkall,
and for this reason such fish as the sun
fish, white fish and others of that kind
are not to be found there. The alkall
in the water would kill them in a short
time even though such fish were put in
to the streams by the United States fish
commission. 1t was also discovered that
the alkali alters the color of the fish
that infest these streams. The party
sent their specimens TO Washington,
and have left for Yankton.

cases that is the indictments for riot,
conspiracy, treason and murder
against the ex-strikers, will not be nolle
pressed as were the indictments against
the Carnegie officials and the Pinker-
tons, but the counsel for the prosecu-
ton and defense have agreed to allow
them to 90 over to the September term
of court for final disposition. 1t is
understood that pleas of nolo contendere
will be entered. A suspension of sem
tence will be asked by the defense, and
1t will not be opposed by the prosecu-
tion. 1t will likely be granted in the
conspiracy and treason cases. When
this has been done District Attorney
Clarence Burleigh will bring the muir
der and treason indictments to the at
tention of the court and will say that
the commonwealth has investigated
the charges thoroughly and is satisfied
that no conviction can be had under
them. He will ask the court to make
an order directing the district attorney
to take no action in the matter of
prosecuting them until further order of
the court. This will finally end the

Pierre Free Press, 25; Not the least
amusing feature in South Dakota
journalism at the present time Is the
zeal with which the Sioux Falls Argus
Leader is advocating South Dakota
for South Dakotans," and the protection
of our state industries against the
wicked Vaccinations of Sioux City.
Some of these days some u~nregenerated
republican editor will spring the deadly
parallel on the Argus-Leader, putting
these protection articles on n side and
its free trade editorials on the other side.
OF course the Free Press is glad to
welcome such an influential journal into
the protection ranks and hopes 1t Will
hereafter be consistent.

means of preventing the success Of 4
ruse on the part of politicians:

he elected on the republican ticket as

sign, would beg to state that there
is no cause for this rumor whatever,

charge the duties of the office in such
manner as will merit the approval

ANOTHER BOND SCHEME.
A Plan Which Is Worked for the Ben
eft of the Unwary.


Another of those bond schemes which
Illustrate the ease with which fool
and his money are so easily parted
was introduced in this city yesterday
land examples of a too confiding nature
are being sought by smooth-tongued
manipulators This particular company
is known by the name of the Oregon
Bond Security Co., and resembles in
some of its conditions the company
which was represented here Il few
weeks ago by tall stranger who dis
appeared hastily, leaving an unpaid
board bill at our leading hotel. Ac-
cording to the literature which is dis
eenlinated. the subscriber to stock in
the concern pays in for $1,000 bond the
sum of $l0 with a monthly installment
of $2 The price purchase of a $500
bond is 81. with an installment of $1.50
per month. Under the sub-heading of
'lIow the Plan Works." it is announc-
ed that with the payment of at least
| 10 per cent of the bonds in the series
year. and the usual per cent OF elapses
tneaning those who had subscribed,
but whose reason had been restored)
the last number in the series should
mature in less than four years, and by
The same calculation the last number
of the $1,000 series can mature in five
years" The prospectus then goes on
to say: On this plan there is no chance,
as the success of the plan, like all other
similar plans, depends upon the con-
tinuous increase of purchasers of bonds,
and on the lapses which are as certain
IS the law of cause and effect. while
the great advantage of our plan is that
tie holder of a bond who continues the
monthly payment, reaps the benefit OF
the lapses rather than the Company"
The plan" so closely resembles that
by which number of residents of this
city lost the purchase price of several
dozens of gold watches a few months
ago, that it will readily be recognized
AS an old acquaintance, and according
ly given a wide berth.
Further on 1t is stated that "shoulo
the payee of bond die his rights are
not impaired as his heirs may con
tnue the payments and receive the
benefits That is evidently intended
az joke, for the reason that there
are but two ways to beat the game
i. e., either to refuse to swallow th,
tempting bait, OF else to die quickly
after biting, and leave relatives
against whom one has a grudge to meet
the payments
The agent was asked yesterday
what guarantee has a subscriber thai
he will get his money!"
To this question, with an assurance |
born of experience in such matters |
was given the answer, why, the com
pany is Incorporated.
About the only return subscriber is
likely to get is to have his bond paic
when there is a sufficient amount OF |
how the company can pay $500 for the
rse of $40 for four years is not eX
planned, except in the unsatisfactory
manner that many of the subscribers
drop out, and that there is a perennial
in the fool crop.

lated Burnside addition TO Astoria (or

WHAT is MAN MADE OF?

a physician in the city furnishes us
with the following data: An average
man, say of 154 pounds, is composed OF
06 pounds of water; three pounds of
albumen; ten pounds Of pure glue; thir-
ty-four and one-half pounds of fat;
eight and one-half pounds of phosphate
of lime; three ounces of sugar and
starch; seven ounces of houride of
calcium, six ounces of phosphate of
magnesia, little ordinary table salt,
and one tenth of an ounce Of iron.
Divided into the original elements,
we would find ninety-siX pounds of
oxygen, which under ordinary atmos-
pheric pressure would occupy a space
i1x1OX1O; of hydrogen, fifteen pounds;
which, under like conditions, would
occupy twice that space; three pounds
thirteen ounces of nitrogen; cubic
foot of pure carbon; four ounces Of
chlorine. three and one-half ounces Of
nourine; eight ounces Of phosphorus;
three and one-half ounces of birthstone;
two and one-half ounces Of sodium; two
md one-half ounces Of potassium; one-
tenth ounce of iron; two ounces of
magnesium; three pounds, thirteen
ounces of calcium.
Calcium, at present marke' price,
worth $500 per ounce, and the amount
contained in one body Is worth $lS,S0O
1t must be very gratifying to people
during the present hard times to know
they are worth that amount intrinsic
ally.

as he was then called, and did excellent
work on the bay. At one time in the
SOS he pumped out and salved YES
sci in the harbor it is said, at time
when Grif. was down to bedrock, and
got $4,000 as salvage. The historic
pump has been used many times since,
