Literary Notes.

Much interest will be felt by the
public in the return of Rudyard Kipling
to India. He has just agreed to furnish
a regular contribution to The Ccsmo-
politan Magazine for the coming year,
beginning his work upon his return to
India. India has never been critically
considered by such pen as Kipling's,
and what he will write for The
Cosmopolitan will attract the widest
attention, both here and in England.
Sportsmep will welcome Outing for

good things follow. Notable features
OF an excellent number are: ga

First in fneness of illustration in the
May Midland Monthly Des Moines) is
the paper on ''The Switzerland of
Iowa." by State Geologist Calvin,
breezy sketch of an outing in the
northeastern corner of the state
Major Byers pleasingly pictures the
Spirit Lake region in northwestern
Iowa. Rev. DIR. Eugene May, of Fargo,
has a delightful story of bicycle ride
to the Custer battlefield, with portraits
and views. ....
The subject of Fear" will be taken
up by Prof. James Sully in the next of
his Studies of Childhood, to appear in
the May Popular Science Monthly.
His Investigations show that while
some children are afraid of heavy,
rumbling sounds, like peals of thunder,
others are pleased by them, but are
greatly disturbed by much smaller
sharp sounds. Opposite effects are
produced in small children by the first
sight of the sea.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt in the Nav
number of st. Nicholas begins series
of papers called Hero Tales from
American History" The subject of his
first one is Daniel Boone and the
Founding of Kentucky" There is no
more typical American character than
Boone, and Mr.. Roosevelt draws a
graphic picture of him and of his
stirring frontier adventures. Mr..
James Baldwin has congenlal field in
"Helio's Four-in-Hand, for he has
made his name familiar by his tales
from mythology and legendary history.
Prof. William T. Hornady continues
his series on the quadrupeds of North
America, by a familiar discussion of
the habits and habitats of THE
Squirrels, Marmots, and Sewellel."
The fiction of the number is so
diversified that every taste will
probably be satisfied.
Conspicuous among the contents of
the May Atlantic is Percival Lowell's
first paper on Mars. The subject is
the atmosphere of Mars" and it is
treated with such skill that the reade'
finds new interest in the scientific in
formation given.
Alfred Parsons series of charmingly
illustrated papers on Japanese life and
landscape ends in the May Harper's
with ''Some Wanderings in Japan" in
which travel in the empire of the
mikado is delightfully."- described Mr..
Parsons made ninety miles in canoe
in ten hours, which is rapid transit in
Japan.

POWDER MILLS BLOWN UP.
Five Men Reported Killed at South
Acton Mass.

Acton, Mass.
South Acton, Mass, May A.
Yesterday one of the mills of the
up. A few minutes later a second mill,
situated a hundred yards away, also
exploded. Fire caused by the explosion
spread to the third mill, known as the
Corning mill, and in a few minutes it
blew up and was also destroyed. Five
persons are believed to have been killed.
The woods near the mills were set on
fire and burned fiercely, threatening the,
big storehouse of the company, con-
tanning 20, 900 pounds of powder and pre-
venting the saving of property.
Fifty men were employed in the mills
and when the noise of the first eXplo-
sion was heard those in the Corning
mills, about thirty in number, rushed
from the building and escaped before
the flames reached it. The mills, ten in
number, are separated from each other
and inclosed by high board fences. The
explosion of the first mill set fire to the
surrounding fence and the flames soon
spread to the second mill. In fifteen
minutes after the first explosion three
of the mills had been destroyed.
The list of dead is:
CHARLES O'NEIL, JR., unmarried.
NELSON MORTON, leaves widow
and several children.
FREDERICK K. WINSLOW, mar
ried.
CHARLES ESTES, unmarried.
A. ESTES, leaves widow and six

HELD FOR THRUSH'S DEATH.
Big Sensation Expected in a Wisconsin
Murder Case.

Ashland, Wis, May 3.-The Martin
Thrush suicide case has developed into
one of the most cold-blooded murders
ever committed in Northern Wisconsin.
Two suspects were arrested last even
ing. They are the murdered mans
wife and a friend, Casper Emery. In
her story Mrs. Thrush claimed her hus-
band shot himself, but two other wit
nesses who were in the house swear
they heard no shots, but heard the
sound only of falling body. A blood
covered chisel and hammer were dis
covered after searching the house thor
oughly. Casper Emery is supposed to
have been engaged to the young lady
who was staying with Mr. and Mrs.
Thrush, and the theory that connects
him with the crime is that he called to
see her after having left the house Sun
day night making his entrance through
the back door, and Thrush was aroused
by the noise. Mrs. Thrush is held be-
cause of her insisting that her husband
shot himself when no shots were heard.

WILL TALK OF TAXES.
Arguments for the Rehearing Will Be
Begun To-day,

Begun To-day,
Washington, May Tit is not known
how much time will be given to the re-
argument of the income tax cases,
which is to be begun in the United
States Supreme court to-day The or
der of the court granting the rehearing
did not specify, and the chief justice is
quoted as having said since the order
was made that the argument would be
at length. The chief Justices order in
the present instance provides for the
hearing of only two counsel on each
side
The motion for the rehearing was for
a second hearing on the points on
which the court was divided but At
torney General Olney stated in his
brief on the subject for a reheanng that
in case the petition should be granted
he would ask to have the entire ques-
ton reopened, saying that the govern
ment had never been heard as to
whether tax on rentals or dividends
on bonds was constitutional as an orig
inal proposition, and intimated that he
should like to have an opportunity to go
into this question at length. AS the
entire question is new to Justice Jack
son, in the sense IL at he has heard
none of the oral argument. it is con-
sidered not improbable that argument
on all sides will be permitted. 1t is I'M
derstood that Attorney General Olney
will appear in person in presentation
of the governments side of the ques-
ton, and it is probable that he will be
supported by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Whitney Mr.. Choate will also
again be principal speaker for the APP

dictate that there will be about 800 dele

of delegates is by congressional dis
tricts, and the total number entitled to

thing points to big delegations from all

is probable that silver men will be in
the majority in the convention.

Iiiiteracy Among Wolverines.

The State census bulletin, covering the
subject of illiteracy in the State, has
been issued. In view of the opportunities
for acquiring an education which the
State affords its citizens the showing
made by the bulletin is in many respects
startling. The total Of illiterate persons
10 years old and over in the State is re-
turned at 95.O37, of whom 7O.712 can
neither read nor write, and 24,265 can
read but cannot write. The number of
illiterate persons aged 10 and over re-
turned at the United States census of
1890 is 95,914, mt the State census of
1884, ,213. and at the United States
census of 1880 there were AZ liz persons
returned as unable to read, and 63, 723
as unable to write. The number of illit-
crate persons in the State, as shown by
the present census, is ST. less than re-
turned in 1890, and 1916 less than re-
turned in 1884. The number returned in
1884 was Al 400 more than returned in
1880. OF the total number aged 10 and
over returned in the present census as
unable TO read or write ~ ego are native
and 46,112 foreign born. OF the native

born parents, and 2,50S one parent native
and the other foreign born. The parent

Piles of food products and found thirty
of them to be adulterated. An idea of
the extent to which coffee is being adul-
terated and the methods employed in car
rying on this business may be obtained
from the following letter, which has been
sent to the wholesale dealers throughout
the country, from New York: Gentle
