YOUNG AMERICAN A HERO.
Saves Train from Mexican Bahui'1
after Desperate Fight.

Saves Train from heA'CAn
after q Desperate Fight.
Inquiry has been received at St. 10
aDh, Mo-, from the Office Of the Unind
States consul at Juarez, ,McXico,c0ncern-
ing James T. Howard, a young man
well known in St. Joseph, who is report
ed to be lying unconscious in nos
pital at Juare2, with two bullets in MS
body. =.
Private telegrams received state that
the other evening Howard started from
Juarez to the City Of Mexico. Ashort
distance out Of Juarez he became in
vo!ted In difficulty with several Mex
leans, who attempted to assault him.
In desperate fight that followed ne
shot three Of them dead and escaped,
though himself badly wounded. Later
the same night, although almost faint
from loss Of blood, young Howard
saved the Mexican Central train south
bound from q wreck, apparently
planned by the gang Of Mexicans with
which he had fought He had learned
that some one had removed the rails
half mile ahead, and as the train
turned curve some distance away,
Howard set fire to his coat, and, as best
he could in his weakened condition,
waved the flaming garment across
the track.
The signal proved effective. Howard
was taken aboard, and Just before he
lost consciousness was enabled to tell
the trainmen of the condition Of the
track, The train proceeded slowly, lnal'
ly coming to place where the rails had
been removed for two lengths and
placed across the track. Robbery was
evidently intended. Howard has been
unconscious since then He had been
shot in two places and dangerously
wounded. The Mexican Central officials
are doing oil possible for him.

with It, but the peculiar shape Of the
ring told her the name OF the sender.
Each gem in the ring seemed to flash
an inquiry, and in the note of thanks
which the actress sent to the giver there
was @ modest affirmative reply, which
will make one man thousands OF miles
away supremely happy when he re-
cetves IT. The romantic ring was one

able to this legislation. But now he
showed that his heart and soul were
in the cause.
His speech against the repeal of the
Sherman silver coinage act was one Of
the most remarkable ever heard in the
House. For three hours he held the
close attention OF the largest audience,
both on the floor and in the galleries,
drawn to the capitol during that ses-
sion. The oldest members of the
House followed the speech with even
more respectful interest than had
been accorded to Mr.. BANDS speech a
few days before, and Mr.. Bryan's more
attractive personality and his capti-
waiting eloquence fixed the attention
of hundreds present who we're less
interested in the issue discussed.
After Bryan had declined a rehomi-
nation for third Congressional term,
he became editor-in chief OF the
World Herald OF Omaha, in which he
was to advocate the free and .unlimited
coinage of silver, and incidentally, it
was said, to promote his candidacy for
the United States Senate. Another
feature OF his management was to be
hostility to the administration and
all that partook of Clevelandisn.
Mr.. Bryan took hold Sept. l, 1894,
and all went we'll until the Nebraska
Republican State central committee
made contract by which it should
control two columns in the editorial
page. Mr.. Bryan found that the Re-
publicans were using their space to
publish matter detrimental to his
senatorial project and he made fight
in the court, which was decided in
favor of his enemies.
When Bryan's aspirations were
blasted by the election OF John M.
Thurston to the Senate, the silver
tongued young orator retired to private
life as an ex-congressman."
He still continued, however, to ad-
vocate in every way the free coinage
of silver, and made frequent trips
through the west and south advo.

HOUSEHOLD RECEIPTS.

Gooseberry Sauce - Pick over the
fruit, remove the stems and blow.
Measure the fruit, have two-thirds oil
a bowl of sugar for every bowl OF fruit
Put it in porcelain kettle and pour
over them cup OF cold water, then
put over the fire and allow them to
cook very slowly until every berry is
soft. This sauce will make a delicious
pie, using it with an upper and under
crust, and an excellent relish to serve
with roast meats. Put it in glass jars
and seal tight.
Raspberry Vinegar - Place four
quarts Of red raspberries in a crock
and pour vinegar enough over. them
to cover them, and let it stand in a
cool place twenty-four hours. Scald
them and strain, put in preserving
kettle, and to every pint of juice add
pound OF sugar. Boil twenty minutes
and bottle while hot. This is much
relished by the sick, one tablespoonful
being used to glass OF cold water.
Raspberry Shrub--Mash the berries
and extract the juice. To one quart
OF juice put one pound OF sugar and
let it boil ten minutes. Then let it
stand until cold, and add one gill of
brandy to every quart. Bottle and
seal. A tablespoonful put into a
tumbler of cold water makes delicious
drink.
Raspberry Jam-Use three-quarters
OF q pound of sugar to one pound Of
fruit. Mash the fruit and add the
sugar. Boil three-quarters of an hour,
stirring we'll. Fill small pin. jars or
glasses, covering them fret with paper
having been dipped in brandy, to keep
off she mold, or dipping the paper in
melted lard will answer; then seal up
tight. If in glasses, have a second pa
per dipped in the white OF an egg, and

they have time to develop or increase. Let

weak spot, they will develop by the million
and the blood will be full of them. Instead
of rich, life giving properties, the blood will
be sluggish, putrid tide of iinpurity. In
stead of giving strength to the tissues, it
will force upon them unwholesome and
innutritious matter, and the man will
lose flesh. The more flesh he loses and the

he is to disease. His trouble will become

MACHINISTS FOR SILVER.

Denies That He Is for Gold.

President James O'Connell, of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, made the following self-explana-
tory statement in writing at Cleve-
land; Wednesday, OF last week, and
requested the Associated Press 20
send it out:
There has been going the rounds
OF the gold standard press of the coun-
try supposed interview with me,
sent out from New York, in which
am quoted as having said i was in
favor of the gold standard and that
the International Association OF Ma
chinists, of which am the executive,
was strongly in favor OF the same,
fearing that the adoption of silver
would mean the reduction of wages
throughout the country. / wish to
say to those who are interested in
knowing my views on this important
question that have never had the in
terview referred to. / have not been
in New York for several months, nei-
Their have l discussed the question
with a newspaper representative in
any manner or form. The supposed
interview misrepresents me and lie >
malicious falsehood from beginning to
end.
"The International Association Of
Machinists at their last convention de-
clared in favor of the free coinage of
gold and silver at the ratio OF 16 to /.
The American Federation of Labor at
its last three conventions decided on
the same lines, and l could not hon.
estly represent either organization if
the supposed interview were true. 1
am in favor OF the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
OF l6 to l, Notwithstanding newspaper
reports to the contrary. have no
right to speak for others. 1t is fight
between the masses and the classes,

masses and shall continue to be with
them in the future"

The Old-Time Pine Rootor.

Some one recently suggested the dis
appearance OF the old-time plne-rooter.
1t is a noticeable fact that the hogs
noses are getting shorter and their
hams are getting thicker. In this con-
ncction we are reminded of fair that
was hold in South Mississippi number
OF years ago, when some hogs were on
exhibition for prize. The instruction
Of the committee of judges was to give
the prize to the hogs best suited to the
country. There were Poland Chinas,
Jerseys, 0. I. C's., Berkshircs, and last,
but not by any means least, long, lank,
razor backs, and the razor-backs got the
prize. The owners of the fine hogs re-
monstrated with the committee about
the award, and the committee explained
by saying: "Your hogs are too fat and
legs too short, and every hog in the
country that can't outrun negro amt
wor tn darn. "-Kosciusko Star.

Some Schoolboy Definitions.

In recent examination some boys
were asked to define certain words, and
to give a sentence illustrating the
meaning. Here are q few: Frantic is
wild. I picked some frantic flowers,
Athletic, strong; the vinegar was too
athletic to use. Tandem, one behind
another; the boys sit tandem at school.
And then some single words are funnily
explained. Dust is mud with the wet
squeezed out; fins are fishes wings;
stars are the moons eggs; circuln-
ference is the distance around the mid.
die of the outside. - Educational Go.
