Retail Druggists Combine.

CHICAGO, Feb. ia local paper
says: A factory for the making Of
remedies similar in nature to the
properiatary medicines now on the
market is to be started by Chicago
retail druggists. Hereafter when
a man wants dose to "cure head
ache" and asks for a remedy his
druggist will tell him that he had
much better take something not
only ''just as good" but scientific
ally better.
More than 400 retail drug stores
In Chicago have combined to fight
in q practical way the cutting OF
the prices of drugs and medicines
by department stores, and to COM
bat at the same time the sale Of
medicines by manufacturers and
wholesale dealers to these stores.
The retail druggists have formed
recently the United States Phar-
maceutical company, and have is
sued stock to the amount OF $780,
600, nlmost all of which has been
taken by prominent pharmacists
of the city. The formation OF the
company was the outgrowth OF a
recommendation made by the Illi-
nois Pharmacists association. The
members of that association said
nothing could be done to prevent
the cutting in price.

applicants will DO furnished with
dinner, lodging, breakfast, bath

CHICAGO's SCHOOL BIBLE.
Compiled to Suit All Religious Views
From Pope to Pagan.

Compiled to Suit All Religious Views
From Pope to Pagan.
CHICAGO, Feb. l5.-The new
bible prepared for the use OF the
public schools has been completed.
1t will now be submitted to the
board OF education, who will pass
judgment upon it. The aim of the
compilers was to compile a work
that would be unobjectionable to
any religious denomination. 1t
has now been % years since the
board OF education stopped the
reading of the bible in the public
schools here. Up to 1874 it was the
regular duty OF the teachers to
read a portion OF the sacred vol
ume to their scholars each day.
BY some the exercises were ap-
proved but to others it became
distasteful. The opposition to it
grew and after a long and stub
bornly contested battle the bible
was evicted from the public
schools.
A few years ago a movement
was begun to reinstate the bible in
the public schools. The book just
completed is the outgrowth OF a
suggestion made by Prof. David
Swing, that a committee consist.
ing of the Protestant, Catholic,
Jewish and other denominations
compile q book for the use Of the
schools made up from sections OF
the bible. At the beginning 1t
was decided that the version recog-
nized in courts by English law,
Should be the one to be taken, as
the school is established pre-emi-
neptly for the state. For conven-
fence the book is graded in its ar
rangements. Those selections APP
pearing first on its pages are adapt
ed to the needs and intellectual
standard of the lower grades Of the
grammar school, the after part OF
the book being suited to more ma
ture minds following.
Quotations are also given in the
book, showing that men ranging
widely In different religious be-
liefs from Prof. Huxley to the pope,
have endorsed just such scheme
as has been carried out.

was clawed and seriously mutilat.
ed during an act at a museum in

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The Adver-
tiser this morning, says: The letter
from Dunraven In reference to the
Observation-Disclosures episode, is ex-
pected to reach here today or to-
morrow.
A rumor is floating around town
to the effect that the expected
documents will consist Of the resig-
nation from the New York Yacht
club, not only of Lord Dunraven,
but the prince Of Wales, the mar.
quis of Dufferin and Sir Robert
Peel. A number Of members OF
the club were seen by reporter.
AS result Of an agreement they
declined to talk.
81 don't care" said j. Pierpont
Morgant, "to say anything on the
subject. You probably know that
1 am opposed to hasty measures.
We cannot tell what Lord Dun
ravens letter will say. Who knows
but that it may contain an apollo
gy."
Lewis Cass Ledyard said: "My
resolutions speak for me. l believe
that Lord Dunraven should be
called upon to resign. His letter
will not, In my opinion, bring an
apology. 1t will, however, 1 think,
bring his resignation"
Frank M. Croneis said: 81 have
heard nothing concerning the
rumor about the prince Of Wales
resignation. 1 don't believe he
will resign and / should be sorry
II he did, for he Is keen and
honorable yachtsman and So was
Lord Dunraven until lately. When
l first saw him some years ago, l
was struck with his bonhommie
and his captivating manners. The
fact that he came over before, in
1913, / think it was, and took his de.
feat like a gentleman and sports
man, made him hosts of friends. 1t
made him persona grata with
American yachtsmen.
when / saw Lord Dunraven
last fall 1 was struck,not only with
the change in his appearance but
the change in his manners. He
seemed a different man, physically
as we'll as mentally. From the first
he appeared to me and others as
changed. and l have now come to
the conclusion that he is hypo-
chondriac. This is the most chart
table way at all events Of explain
ing his conduct. l have no idea his
letter will contain an apology. L
think it will be his resignation. 1t
does not follow, of course, that his
resignation will be accepted. He
NAV be expelled"

MORE R0ENTGEN WORK.
St. Louis Photographers Focus the
Cathoid RAYS.


ST. LOUIS, NO., Feb. 15.-It has
been demonstrated that the cath
old or rays used by DR.. Roent-
gen to produce photographs Of the
interior portions of the human
body, to photograph ordinary OBJ
jects through Opaque substances,
can be focused. This is the most
important discovery thus far made
in connection with these wonderful
scientific experiments, and will
make 1t more valuable in every
manner. By being able to focus
the rays, any particular organ Of
the body may be photographed
without the surrounding tissues
being shown. And it is two st.
Louis scientists who have succeed
ed in demonstrating this fact.
DR.. Wellington Adams and Prof.
Nipper, of Washington university,
have been experimenting with the
Roetgen system Of photography
and have had some success, but
they expect to secure better results
as more favorable conditions are
obtained. They have been using a
rumkold coil to generate rays, and
a geyser tube, and have succeeded
in securing a shadowgraph that
has encouraged them to renew
their efforts. An ordinary micro
matte screw was placed in it's
wooden case and put Immediately
in front OF sensitive plate. Then
the intense penetrating ether
waves or eathoid rays were pro-
duced In front of the cast. The re-
suit was that the bulb or round
portion of the screw was photo
graphed through the wooden cover,
but failed to outline on the sensi-
tive plates. Several other plates
were subjected to the same test
with about the same result. The
fact was established, however, by
these experiments that the rays
can be focused, for the shadow
graphs produced were smaller than
the articles photographed. This
demonstrated that with the proper
conditions the rays can be focused
on a Civ. n article or portion OF
anatomy and an image photo
graphed of them.

Squaw Dance in an Opera House.

DEADwooD, S. D., Feb. 15.-
About twenty-five Sioux Indian
braves and sqdsws performed a
war and ghost dance last night in
the opera house, that was viewed
by many citizens. They were we'll
equipped, most OF them having
full warlike costumes and their
faces disfigured and painted in
war-path style. Music was fur
nished by half dozen squaws,
who pounded a drum while the
dancers went through their weird
orgies, giving out gutrall whoops
at intervals that reminded old set
tiers here Of the early days Of the
Hills.

In Convention TOday-Will Ignore the
State Executive Committees Rules.
GALVESTON, Tex, Feb. d.
(SpeclaD The sound money demo-
Gratis were called together this
morning about two hundred
strong, by Chairman Hardy, who
made speech similar to the one
made at the preliminary confer
ence last night.
A committee on resolutions,
formed Of one from each congress
sional district, was constituted,
after considerable discussion as to
the best plan Of procedure, and re-
tired to consider the Hardy resolu-
tions, read last night, and all other
resolutions, and the morning ses-
sion has been spent in speech
making.
All speakers favor making the
fight within the democratic party.
Some favor ignoring the state con-
vention primaries entirely, but In
the main the delegates are agreed
to make the struggle through the
primary conventions in the usual
way, ignoring the executive COM
mittee's rules.
1t is not likely the committee on
resolutions will agree on a report
before tonight. Meanwhile, this
afternoon adjournment will take
place for the oyster roast, and the
convention will meet again tonight.
One idea advanced Is for the four
teen sound money members OF the
state committee to constitute them
selves a separate executive COM
mittee and proceed upon the orig
inal lines. But this will not likely
prevail.
The majority Of opinion, as re-
Elected in the speeches. is to make
q campaign before the people and
abide by the national platform, re-
gardless of what the state platform
may be.

Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. 15.-The
news sent from Las Cruces last
night to the effect that Makers
eyes were improving so rapidly
that he would be in condition to
enter the ring Monday, is very
comforting to the crowd who is
waiting for the big event.
Many efforts have been made to
induce Dan Stuart to bring of one
of the smaller fights before the big
one, but he positively refuses. He
realizes that his chances for pulling
off the second fight are much less
than pulling off the first and there
is still less chance Of getting a
third off. He is bound to get
Maher and Fitzsimmons into the
ring and will take no chances on
anything that may interfere with
the big fight.
Walcott and Bright Eyes, who
were to have fought today, will
both weigh in and demand their
forfeit, $3.50.
