tiOnal Lottery, He Draws a Prize.
Hugo Beck is a member of the firm OF
Beck Bros, wholesale liquor dealers at
3O8 North Franklin street. Last month
trade was rather dull and Mr.. Beck con-
ceived the idea of increasing his personal
bank account by outside speculation
Several means suggested themselves, but
each required considerable outlay of
money. After juggling his brain for
some time friend suggested lottery
ticket as the best investment for small
amount of money, and Mr. Beck, acting
on the advice, purchased a one-fifth
ticket in the old reliable Honduras Ma
tional Lottery. 1t was his first expert
ence with lottery company and it re-
CURED much persuasion on the part of
Mr.. Beck's friends to cause him to buy
the ticket. The same friends were COM
PEELED to urge Mr.. Beck to scan the Of
fetal list of the drawing to ascertain if
his ticket had drawn prize. Fortune
had been kind to the liquor dealer, and
he learned that his ticket, No. 81 ,161,
had drawn one-fiith Of the third capital
prize of 10000
Overjoved he informed all of his friends
OF his good fortune, and the lucky ticket
was sent to the company for payment.
To-day the money arrived, and when
Mr.. Beck was seen by reporter for The
Dispatch he was indeed happy man.
Mr.. Beck is a man who understands the
value of dollar, and desires to state
that he will invest the sum secured in
real estate.

but as he decided against them Catholics
are told shat they must not read it on
peril of their souls.
Emile lola was born in Paris April 2,
1910, but the location was a sort of acct
dent. His father, Francois lola, was an
Italian and man of note in his time, the
scion of an old Venetian family and au-
thor of scientific works which gained him
a membership in the Royal academy OF
Padua. As an engineer he planned some
vast schemes and went to France to build
new port for the city of Marseilles, but
the authorities would not make the ven
ture. They did, however, authorize him
to construct the lola canal at AK, which
irrigates part of southeast France, pre-
viously barren. He married French lady,
and their son was born while they were
temporarily at Paris
He was reared at AK, however, but in
1858 located in Paris. He had already
written romance on the crusades and q
three act comedy in verse, neither evel
published, get after course at the Ly
ceum st. Louis he failed in the examina
ton, the examiner pronouncing him lab
solutely ignorant of literature. He suf
fered long in extreme poverty, worked
awhile on the docks as a common laborel
at Sl2 per month and thought himself for
tunate when he got position in the Ha
Ghetto publishing house at $50. All this
time, however, he was composing various
articles, some of which were offered fol
publication and rejected as too radical-ir
fact, rebellious. In 1866 came his frs
success. His La Confession de Claude

is known to the reading world. His IL As

War Against the Gypsy Moth.

An appeal is made by the state board
of agriculture to all citizens, and espe-
cially farmers, fruit growers and horti-
culturists, in the eastern part of Massa-
chusetts to lend their aid in the warfare
against the gypsy moth this year. The
appropriation made by the legislature
for the determination of the moth is not
sufficient to admit of making thorough
search over this part of the state; hence
this solicitation for assistance. Mr.. For
bush, who is director of field work under
the special committee having this mat
ter in hand, writes that thus far the
moth has not been seen outside the re-
gion where it was found in 1891, not
withstanding all reports to the contrary

my way home, via Caledonia, Belgrade
and Big River.
Along the road near Caledonia, it
was observed that farmers are unusu-
ally late in getting their corn crops
planted: many were not done breaking.
while a few were planting.
But the wheat crops look splendid,
aud promise an excellent yield.
Caledonia is lovely little village, and
has an excellent building for school
purposes. 1t stands with it's towers
pointing heavenward, the right direc-
ton, and many graduates have gone
forth from its walls, with fond hopes
for the future. to battle the manv adj
versities of life, which are sure to come.
They look back to their school days at
Caledonia Academy as days well spent.
Prof. Henry, the principal of that school,
is conscientious, God-fearing instruc-
tor and is having marked influence
upon the intellectual and moral status
of that section of country. Whether
he will be retained as principal for
the ensuing year, l can not say, for it
often happens that teachers of his
standing-those who fight the wrong
and uphold the right-are eliminated
by the Satanic element, which as you

as commander. The place where the
monument stands is included in the
beautiful homestead of Judge Emerson,
and the Judge and his Sylvan Lake pro-
perry have been accorded q good deal OF
free advertising by reason OF the mon
ument and the association of the Cen
erals name with the place. But the
evidence is plenty and many there are
living yet of the old command who will
testify that Grant never received his
commission while at Ironton, but it was
handed to him at place on the gravel

THOSE who advocate a single god
stsndard, as we'll as those who advo-
cate a change of ratio, seem to think
there is some doubt as to the construc-
ton to be placed upon the silver plank
of the Democratic platform of this
State. The REGISTER cannot see where
the doubt arises. 1t first recites the
constitutional provision that no State
shall make anything but gold and sill
yer coin tender in payment of debts.
1t demands the bimetallic standard of
both gold and silver as it existed for
eighty years prior to the demonetiza-
ton of silver in 1873. The Republic
claims that during portion of the
eighty years mentioned the ratio was
Is to 1, and for the rest of the period
16 to l.. If the Republic Is correct, then
the ratio is either 15 TO l or 16 to 1;
but, as the contention is to increase the
ratio, the Republic will not seriously
contend that we should go back to a
ratio of Is to 1, admitting its state
ments to be true. 1t is furt her pro-
posed, after we get back to the ratio
of '73, if it is found that the ratio of 16
to is not the true one, to adjust the
ratio, first ascertaining whether silver
has deprecated or gold appreciated: if
the former, the silver dollar will be
made larger; if the latter, the gold
dollar will be made smaller. This is
absolutely all there is in it.
