mon working on four-ton gun were blown up by shell from the Japanese warship Naniwa. The fourth gunner was shot while try ing to escape from the turret and the fifth stuck to his post.
 This man fired three rounds at the Naniwa, one shell entering the engine room of the Japanese ship and another smashing her forebridge. The Naniwa then hauled off. The Chinese admiral rewarded the surviving gun nor with a present of one thousand taels.
 "A shell glanced from the steel deck of the Chen-Yuen and went through her toWor, aila ioring everything there in. A lioutsEapt who was in the act of speaking throumh the tube leading to the engine room was blown into atoms and his head was left hanging to the speak ing pipes. Huge fragments of armor and the teak backing thereof were car ried on board by the shot, crushing a large number of sailors into shape less mass.
 "A European engineer who was in the act of groping about in an endeavor to repair steampipe was drenched from head to foot with the blood of an assistant who was disenboweled by his side 'y 2 shot from the enemy's ship.
 Then Chen-Yuen arrived at Wei Hai-Wei the day after the fight in the same condition in which she left the battle. No attempt has been made to wash the blood from her or remove the corpses which strewed her decks.''
 The writer expresses the opinion that if the European rulers could have seen the decks of the Chen-Yuen they would have foresvvorn WAT henceforth and forever.

NEEDLESS ALARM.
The Schools Will Continue Just the
 Same.

The board. of school trustees was thrown into state bordering on dis traction yesterday by indignant par ents, who wanted to know why the present school year was to close about the holidays for good.
 The report has beer gaining circula- tion until yesterday it was stated that it had been authoritatively announced by the trustees that the present school year would come to an end in four or five weeks. The only foundation for the report is that the year will prob ably be cut short by one month on ac- count of lack of funds.
 The appropriation for the present year was believed to be sufficient, talk ing into consideration even the proba- hle increase in attendance. This, how ever, went beyond expectation and when the schools opened there were 200 more pupils than on the opening day of the year before.
 Four more teachers became an abso- lute necessity and it became necessary to fit up four more rooms at consider able expense. All this nas been a heavy drain on the fund and there seems to be ho way to replenish it.. There may be some legislative action which will enable the trustees to con- tinue the year through the usual eight months.
 It is extremely important that some thing be done. The course of study is so nicely adjusted now that the loss of & month would seriously de- range it and prevent graduation and the passing of grades, for it is inn possible to accomplish as much in seven months as in eight.

CATARRH.

Catarrh is usually applied to & peculisr dis order of the nostrlls and sd jacent parts, while in fact it may attack every organ in the body, containing muco us membrane, CataTrh may then be said to De a disease of the mucous membranes of the body The m ost prominent feature however is a morbid discharge from the head, either by the noStrils or dropping into the throat. At first there is almost a constant flow of clear aorid fluid, bat later on there is secreted an offensive, purulent, greenish or yelloWlsh matter In others there is 8 tough yiscid and offensive phlegm, which collects be- hind and above the soft palate and which ad- hers with glueish tenacity.
 In some cas there is thick viscid, slimy secretion which coats over the membrane ot the nasal cavities and then putre6es gIvlng rise to stench sufficiently fetid to poison the at mosphere of a whole room. In other cases all secretions are suspended causing an unpleasant feeling of dryness, heat and fes erishness in the head and nose condition known ss "Dry Cat arrh." The disease speedily extends to the air cavities of the bones of the head and face and down past the nasal cavity into the throat, causing frequent attempts to clear the parts of phlegm producing the sound 'hem,'' more or less forcibly. In this manner the dltoculty spreads from organ to organ invading the throat, larynX. trachea and bronch ial tubes un til it finally reaches the lungs.
 Thus Catarrh becomes the starting point of consumption development, the disease being eventually transmitted to the lungs, both by
 So frequently has this fatal course been no- ticed that all those who are thoroughly conver- sant with the subject now look upon Catarrh as 8 premonition and one of the very earliest manifestations of consumption. Every case of Catarrh is curable by our Sy stem of practice.

An Army Lieutenant Handles Pistol and
 a Rasca!Iy Contractor Equally Well.
 The following story is told by the New Orleans Picayune about Lieut.. John ". Heard, of the Third cavalry, who is one of the best shots in the army and has reputation for personal bravery which is second to none: Some time ago he was detailed as quarter master at Fort Thomas, A. T., where for q good while there had been an enormous lot of swindling going on and several Guartcrnasters had made a wreck of theiir reputations. The con tractors had had their own way for long time and imagined that the new management would be like the old. Bids were sent in and contracts at certain figure were awarded for sup plies, when one day Lieut.. Heard dis eovcre1 that the papers setting forth the goods and figures bid by one of the contractors were missing. He insti- tuted an inquiry, and found that the 1apers were in the hands of the con trnctor. The quartermaster at once rode to town and, seeking the contract 3r-s office, demanded the papers. The contractor, smiling, refused to sr1rren- Ter them, telling the lieutenant that he !T1uld be taken care of in the matter h 2 moment he was looking down the barrel of Lieut. Heard's pistol. Give me the papers!" commanded the luartermaster sternly. The contrac- ter delivered them up with all conven- tent haste, and Heard then took them back to the post and found that they had been altered so as to defraud the government out of thousands of dol lars. A short time after Lieut.. Heard was set upon by four armed men at pittsburg, Tex. He made for .one of them, wrested his pistol from him and killed him with it. The other assail- ants took to their heels. The man killed was the nephew of the con- tractor whose rascality had been check mated by Heard.

A Cat That Loves the Water.

A San Francisco fisherman has a cat that is said to love water as much as other cats love rug in front of grate fire. When he goes fishing the cat lies quietly in the boat and does not appear to mind how wet he gets. When the seine with it's load of living fishes is hauled in the eat seizes the largest one, trying to shake it as he would mouse. He does it entirely for sport, as he never attempts. to eat the large fish, and lives almost wholly on the smaller ones used for bait.

OUR NODE OF CURING CATARRH.

The applications are made to reach every part of the diseased surface in the most direct and positive manner; instantly penetrating every cell and cavity of the h cad communicating with the nostrils. in this manner we have treated the most obstinate cases of Catarrh with com plete success, after all other attempts have failed. We care not how long the disease may have continued, or from what cause it did arise. Every case of Catarrh is curable.

How to Cure Pork.
IBy q Farmers Dauehtsr.J

For 500 pounds of pork take Is
pounds of salt, two pounds of white
sugar and four ounces of saltpetre.
Pnlverize the saltpetre, and mix
sugar, salt and saltpetre together
thoroughly. Rub the hams and
shoulders good, being careful to
get it around the bones good. It
is well to have bench or slab to
lay them on. Rub the sides well
and put them in the barrel. Go
over the meat three times in two
weeks. Make pickle of what is
left of the salt and other ingredi-
ents. Boil and skim and let it
cool, then pour it over the side
meat Some use more saltpetre,
but these proportions keep the
meat splendid here In Iowa In
the South, if the pickle, after the
meat was kept under the brine,
should show signs of souring, boil
the pickle over, adding more sugar,
saltpetre and salt. Keep the meat
in . good place. If put in a mouldy
cellar, the meat will spoil in spite
of all that can be done.
For smoking the meat l prefer
a somewhat open smokehouse and
hickory chips or cobs to smoke
with. After through with the smok-
ing, rub over with good black and
red pepper, three-fourths black and
one fourth red.
Tie up in loose cotton bags, hang
up or lay on shelves or bepches, or
in boxes. I am sure you will eat
it with q satisfied relish. Southern

Much of the machine despotism
of parties and party bosses is per-
petrated in ward club meetings and
primaries, where nominations are
dictated against the wishes of the
majority Of the party, and efforts
have been made to bring primary
elections under State statutes.
In California it is proposed to
enact a law that will permit the
use of the mails in securing the
nomination of candidates. The
plan is to require the sending by
mail to every enrolled member of a
party q ballot, which the voter has
the right to send to his party head
quarters on or before certain date,
with the names Of his choice for
the several Offices, for which candi-
dates will be nominated, those sug-
gested by the largest number to be
declared the nominees.
Some such arrangement is pro-
posed by the Municipal League of
Philadelphia, which requires that,
in choosing candidates for public
Office, blank ballots prepared ac-
cording to the Australian system
must be used; and that Tin the case
OF ward and division associations
after the executive committee has
fixed the time and place of meeting
for the convention, notice of the
same, by advertisement or mail,
must be- given at least two weeks
in advance of the primary election.
This notice must contain q state
ment of the positions to be filled,
the names suggested by the execu-
tive COMMITTEES, and the address to
which members may send names
which they desire TO have printed
on the ballots; and that the execu-
tive committee shall print on the
official ballot the names suggested
by themselves and all other names
suggested by at least FIVE members.
Many minds are working at this
problem, and it cannot be doubted
that means will be found to give
the people a proper opportunity to
have q voice in the nomination of
candidates. When 4 few bosses
ara able to name the candidates,
and = party pressure is used to
force the people to vote for the
so-called, whether they
like it or no, an alleged public cleo
ton bscomes an outrageous tyranny.

Nets for the Gullible.

It is said at the post Office de-
partment that vigorous measures
will be taken to break up the fraud
ulent patent medicine companies
operating at South Bend, Ind,
which is regarded as a perfect
nest for these concerns. On the
first of November the department
declared fifty-six companies in that
city to be conducting a fraudulent
enterprise, and forbade them the
use of the United States mails, I'M
der penalty of criminal prosecution.
The department has been inform
ed that about 200 more fictitious
medicine companies at South Bend,
presumably operated by a few per-
sons, have been carrying on theil
business by extensive advertising
and using the mails.
Fraud" orders have consequent
ly been issued against them, and
criminal proceedings will be set on
foot to punish the persons impli-
Gated. This action has been taken
by the department upon the COM
plants of the citizens of South
Bend, who protested that the pro-
jectors of the scheme were getting
immensely rich, and poor and gull
lible people were being extensively
victimized.
A fraud order was also issued
yesterday afternoon by the depart
ment against the Fortune Publish
ing Co., Detroit Mich. The mode
of operation of this organization
was to advertise a word-guessing
contest with 81 entrance. The
prize offered was $50 tn each lucky
guesser, but while the rebus APP
peared very simple it always hap
pened that no one was able to solve
the riddle. The persons connected
with the swindle will be arrested.
