Mckinley Captured an Industry.

81 believe," said Mckinley, ''that
with protection in America we can
capture the business Of raising and
manufacturing all our linen. just as
we have captured the nail, tin, chic
ory, silk and carpet industries, and
make oil of these things in the end
cheaper for our people. / would
agree to have t.le Belfast linen manu-
factories in this country in two years.
and Minnesota covered with fax in
place of cheap wheat, if could die
tate the policy. think that s25, O00,-
900 year saved to the United States
on linen is worth trying for, and
proper protection would do it,"
Mr.. Dana tells mo that he raises
chicory in his famous garden at
Flushing AMI uses the green tops for
salad.
Now comes the news from Nebraska
that the State is SO delights, -s;th the
protective policy which brought a
great industry into their State that
the Legislature has added bounty on
both chicory aud sugar.
The million dollar beet sugar plant
atNorfolk has been found large enough
to manufacture their great North
Platte beet crop into sugar, and now
, sey are turning the great Grand
fsl. :! sugar house into chicory fac
tory. Millions OF bushels of corn and
wheat will go out Of Nebraska and, by
and by, thanks to protection, the
farmer will get better price for
wheat How much wiser is such a
policy than the policy OF killing an
industry. With the tarid on wool,
sheep were going all over Dakota and
Minnesota taking out wheat and en-
riching the worn out land. Now sheep
are being killed, the industry de-
stroyed aud $25, 900, 900 annually will
go to Asia for wool.
Let us be glad that the new industry
of ch1cory has escaped Mr.. Wilson's
poisoned arrow. Elk PERKINS

answered shortly, "From London.

A Strange Village.

At Tebessa, in Algeria, near the Tu-
mis- frontier, a strange megalithic vii
lage has been discovered. Atthe foot
of shell limestone cliff, half mile
from the phosphate mines, are many
large boulders, from thirty-fve to
forty feet in circumference, which have
fallen from the cliff. These were hol-
lowed into rooms about seven feet
square, and openings cut in the rock
for windows and doors. As mega
lithic tombs, large slabs supported Oh
upright stones, are near by, it is probx-
Bile that these little rooms were used
as dwellings ana not as burial places.

Daniel Dolobran, the contractor
who is buildip the new public school

WHEN THE MERCURY RISES.

The man whose rule it is to tako
The weather as it comes.
Without word of fuss, finds life
A pudding full of plums.
He doesn't care how low or high
The mercury has got,
And even when it's mid-July,
He h..rdly knows it's hot.
But he who, when the mercury
Goes up to eighty-flve,
Makes such fuss that every ono
Regrets that he's alive,
Thus makes himself unhappier
Than he was meant to be,
And feels the heat at seventy-two
AS If 'twere ninety-three.
So take warning from these lines
It's good advice, though free
And when the hot days really come
Don't watch the mercury.
Just go about your daily tasks
Regardless Of the heat.
And you will find that every day
Your life will grow more sweet.

A STRANGE STORY.

"A dispatch from Bowling Green, Mo-,
says both Dir. and Mrs. Hearne, who
are under Indictment for the murder of
Amos J. Stillwell, were put on the
stand Yesterday Mrs. Hearne, VINO
was formerly Mrs. Siillwen. was as pale
as death when she tvokit the stand, hut
exhibited no nervousness. She and her
husband slept in separate beds in the
same room on the night OF the murder.
The story which the woman told is as
follows: X.
ST was awakened by hearing Mr..
Stillwell say, Fanny wos that you?' l
raised partly, in led and saw MIN part
ly raised.
".Who's there?' he asked, and then
figure sprapg up from the foot of the
bed. j saw, the figures arm raised as
if to strickland, / supposed to strike
me-and 1 fell back unconscious in the
bed. When Iawoke i felt that some
thing must be. done. went over to
the bed and laid my hands upon my
husband, and tried to rouse him. L fail
ed, and then went and reused the
servants"
After tellingthe circumstances of CIV
ing the alarm to the neighbors, in
which she described her wild run in her
naked feet across the frozen street for
help, the queries changed.
The witness denied positively that
she was ever criminally intimate with
DR.. Hearne, or that she had any knowl-
edge of the identity of the murder of
Mr.. Stillwell. }tc
DIR. Hearpe followed his wife, whose
cross examination developed nothing.
He detailed the events of the evening
of the murder, which in the main cor
roborated those of other witnesses for
the Defense He said he had no idea
who the murderer was, although he had
made every effort to find out.
a number of other witnesses were ex>
amined.
