A Monkey as a Dentist.

A man in Ontario once owned mon
key named ''Dot," which was brought
from Deccan, India. 1t had been suffer
ing from toothache for several days
At last the pain became more than or
dinarily severe, and the monkey, like
it's human type, resolved at last to
undergo dental operation. But the
dentist, strange to say, was itself.
"Dot" found string, fastened it around
the aching tooth, seized the end Of the
string with it's fore feet, drew up one
of it's hind legs between its fore feet,
and gave sudden shove, which jerked
the tooth out and sent it flying hala
way across the room. This having
been accomplished, the monkey re-
sumed it's natural cheerfulness and
amiability. -Christian at Work.

THE EPISODE OF THE BARREL.


The police had brought cab with
them, and in this escorted Miss
Morstan back to her home. After the
angelic fashion of women, she had
borne trouble with calm face as long
as there was some one weaker than her
self to support, and had found her
bright and placid by the side of the
heightened housekeeper. In the cab,
however, she first turned faint, and
then burst into a passion of weeping
so sorely had she been tried by the
adventures of the night. She has told
me since that she thought me cold and
distant upon that journey. She little
guessed the struggle within my breast,
or the effort of self-restraint which
held me back. My sympathies and my
love went out to her, even as
my hand had IN the garden. felt
that years of the conventionalities of
life could not teach me to know her
sweet, brave nature as had this one
day of strange experiences. Yet there

I could see dimly that there were

The City Visited by the Worst RainstOrm
CHICAGO, July s-One of the most
furious wind and transforms known in
this vicinity for years passed over the
city about o'clock Yesterday evening,
coming from the northwest. The day
had been intensely he nd many people
were out on the lake "a sailboats. and,
as the storm came very suddenly. it is
feared that several lives were lost.
The different life saving crews have
been busy all evening tracing rumors
of capsized boats, people clinging to
planks. etc. and up to 10 p. IN. have
brought in the occupants of three caO-
sized boats, all in a very exhausted
condition.
At the height of the storm a signal
tower beside the Pan Handle tracks at
Ada street was blown over and the
towerman. August Boedlow, sustained
fatal injuries. Several other people
are reported painfully cut and bruised
by flying debris.
So far the only fatality is the case of
Charles Klein, John Ross and Charles
Shook who were out in rowboat
when the storm burst, and of whom no
trace has vet been found.

Hills last evening visited one of the

the city and finding men there drink

long time he has been trying to get
these places closed, and officers re-
ported it impossible. Yesterday he
met Editor Clarkson, of the Register,
on the street. Garrison offered to
show him one of the places and they
went together to A. NJ. Bilby's
store. They walked behind the
prescription case and the mayor went
up to q man who was drinking beer,
took the bottle and glass away from
him, smelled them and went out again.
The two went to the Register office
and the mayor ordered the police to at
once pull the place. 1t was done be-
fore anybody in the room knew who
the recent callers were. Later in the
day the mayor ordered other places
pulled and the end is likely to be the
closing. of all places of this kind.

a RELIGIOUS RIOT.
One Thousand Men and Women Particle
pate In a Fight.


ST. LOUIS, July Ga special to the
Republic from English, Ind. says: DR..
William Lomax. of Sulphur Well, tele-
phoned here yesterday of terrible
riot, which occ;.rred at picnic Thurs
day at Siberia, Perry county. in which
LOCO men and women participated.
Three men were killed and fifty
four persons wounded, many of
whom were women. The occa-
sion was German Catholic
picnic and an interruption by anti
Catholics loaded with bad whisky, was
the cause of the trouble. 1t is thought
that the riot would not have taken
place but for the use of liquor, although
prejudice amounting to almost bigotry
exists on both sides. Dr. Lomax is a
surgeon, and with two assistants was
kept busy from o'clock in the after
noon until the next day dressing the
wounds of the injured. He related
some awful incidents.
That town is bat a small hamlet of a
half dozen houses, ana n Catholic
church is in very isolated portion of
the county. The dangerously wounded
are all in the church and almost twenty
are expected to die, while others are in
a critical condition. The local squires
have appointed numerous deputies to
keep the peace.

of business depends. They indicate
distinctly better crop prospects than

There is a growing recorder demand
for heavyweight woolens, and many
new kinds of lightweights have been
opened with notable irregularities in
prices, some lower and others higher
than last year. But the manufacture
is better sustained thus far than ex-
pected. and the feeling is very hopeful,
especially as labor troubles have SUBJ
stantially ended. Prices of cotton
goods also continue to advance, and
the mills are generally well en-
ployed. Speculation has depressed

the yield has been materially reduced

If the mistress is wise she will instruct
the maid to put nothing else upon the
table before the black coffee save Gus
tards, jellies or creams. The name OF
these is legion, and their variations so
diverse that something totally differ
ent is possible at each dinner.
Custard is custard, and there are not
many receipts for making it. The
| difference between one sort and an
other lies practically in the havoring'
There is the old-fashioned baked Gus
tard, which has simply the flavor of a
grating or two of nutmeg. For the
making of this use one quart of milk,
four eggs well beaten together. four
tablespoonfuls of sugar and third of
a saitsDoonful of salt It should be
baked slowly. II is done when a silver
knife can be slipped in and come out
absolutely clean. The safest way of
tanning the mixture into a pan filed
with water.
The recipe for boiled custard is a
quart of milk, which should be al
lowed to come to a boil. Take two
tablespoonfuls of flour, half a salt
spoonful of salt and mix with four
tablespoonfuls of water or cold milk.
Four eggs should then be beaten light
with four tablespoonful of sugar. In
to the boiling milk stir the -four
and water and let boil until the
milk is slightly thicllened. Then draw
to the side of the fire and beat in the
eggs. Boil very slowly for the reason
that otherwise the eggs are apt to cur
die. Put aside to cool. Two teaspoon
fuls of vanilla should lie put in as it is
taken from the fire. Let it be remem-
bered that this dish should always be
served cold.
AS to jellies it is simply question of

that are most tasty are wine sherry
and brandy mixed), lemon, coffee, or

comparatively easy to make jelly now

practically all that is needed is to dis
solve them in little cold water and
add the favoring. Then add boiling

Three creams that are heartily to be
recommended are whipped, Spanish

THE BIG CORN CROP.
1t VIII Have a Far Reaching Eject On
Trade aud Commerce.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July S.-This
years big corn crop is getting to be
enough of a certainty to become an
important factor in the corn market,
and in the plans of business men for
the future as well. In Texas and
in southern Oklahoma the corn is
made" 1t is in tassel in most of
Kansas. and is two weeks farther ad-
vanced than ordinarily at this season
of the year. The menace of the
drought in the central states has
passed away. The condition over the
whole corn area is such that there is
not much room to doubt that the crop
will come to maturity and will be the
greatest in the aggregate ever raised.
The corn area this year undoubted-
ly is the largest ever planted.
The private crop bureaus at Chicago
estimate it to be 80, 600, 600 to So DOC, 900
acres. Last years harvested area was
60. 100000 acres. The area in 1889,
which was the largest on record up to
1895, was 1919, 600 acres. The promise
of the crop, taking the whole area to-
Gether, is for a greater yield per
acre than that of 1889, and there is
a possibility of an aggregate crop of
., 800, 600, 900 bushels or more. OF course
corn must sell at a very low price
with such great supply. But the value
of corn crop in this country does not
lie in what it sells for. A very small
portion of the corn crop is sold. Very
much the greater part is fed in on the
farm. A big corn crop now will give a
stimulus to the stock raising industry
which it has not experienced before in
a number of years. and this stimulus
will come just at the right time
time when prices are remunera-
I've, and when supplies of cattle and
hogs are small enough to insure re-
mUnerative prices for some time to
come. The demand for stock for feed
ing this coming fall and winter will
help TO keep prices up. The strong
market for cattle and hogs will have a
sentimental influence toward main
tanning prices of corn.
The big movement of corn will
greatly increase the business of the
railroads. 1t will necessitate the en-
ployment of many more men than are
now engaged in the labor of transpOr-
tation. 1t will also force the railroads
to buy new rolling stock and make ez-
tensive repairs and consequently will
lead to greatly increased activity in
nearly all manufacturing industries.
Doubtless great deal of the crop will
find a market abroad. and in that way
help to turn the tide of gold in this
