race, gentlemrn of Bardstown, well
up in Kentucky politics, said to me;
You have no idea how much expense
there is attached to race for Con-
gress in this district. Proctor Knott
told me in all his races for Congress,
he had never had the expense of a
single one to exceed $500; but, on the
contrary, the race of Tom Robertson
against Montgomery cost each candi-
date near ten thousand dollars to get
the nomination, and Montgomery got
it over his opponent after most
heated contest David r. Murray
said the average expense of his race
against Montgomery two years ago
would exceed $4,000, and it is gener.
ally understood that Slick Aleck, in
his last fight against Murray and
John w. Lewis two years ago, spent
more than $4,000 and was de-
feated ,"

A Farewell Party in Honor of Lieu

IN TRUE MILITARY STYLE
Convincing Evidence of InsanI;yin
the { ase of a Man Who raced,
the Lake Superior Upper
Ledge to Arlee-A Fire.

Missoula, May 1.-The fire depart
ment was called out this afternoon to
eXtinguish a blaze in a shed in the east
end Of town in the rear of some houses
owned by Harry Pierce. When discov-
cred the flames were blazing high in the
air and four houses near by were In
danger. William Mace gave the alarm
and the department made a quick run
When the water was turned on the FIRE
one of the houses was ablaze and in
three minutes more there would have
been a serious fire. 1t required but
few minutes to get things under con-
troll and the department added good
piece OF work to its record. The loss
is slight. AS nearly as can be learned
the fire was caused by some children
who were playing with matches.
At Fort Missoula tonight one of the
most brilliant social events in the his
tory of the city and of the post was
held in honor of Lieutenant Colonel
McKibben. who will leave in a few
days for his new post of duty on Lake
Champlain. All of the elite of the city
were present and the officers and ladies
of the post excelled themselves in the
brilliancy of their entertainment. There
was a splendid concert by the regimen
tai band and the dancing was con inued
till late hour. The lunch was served
in the Usual attractive fashion Of army
people and nothing was neglected that
could contribute to the enjoyment of
the guests. Colonel and Mrs. McKibben
were the recipients of many express
sions of regret at their departure from
this place, for while all of the colonel's
friends are glad of his deserved pro-
motion, all are sorry to see him leave
here, where he has always been great
favorite.
Judge Woody and an insanity COM
mission this afternoon examined John
Fitzpatrick as to his mental condition,
and ii required but little examination
to convince them that the man was
insane. In the court room he took off
his coat and stood on his head and
turned n handspring for the entertain
ment of those present. His hobby Is
that he has traced the float of a great
copper belt from Michigan to Arlee and
has found a well-defned belt Extend
ing all that distance. He is sane on
nearly all topics, but he reverts to this
one on every possible occasion. He
was committed to the insane asylum.

From the San Antonio Express.
Professor Reynolds of Georgetown
has the unpleasant distinction of being
afflicted with a disease the like OF
which is not known i'm medical science.
Many noted physicians have examined
his case, and until recently no solution
of it's mystery has been found. The
disease Is caused by countless myriads
of animaculae which burrow under the
skin. causing great pain. When rubbed
briskly with his hand his body would
give off small particles very closely re-
sembling brown sand. The case was
first brought to the attention OF DR.
Fleming Of Georgetown, who made a
very thorough study of il and reported
IL i'm several medical journals.
Last week, on the recommendation
Of DIR. Fleming. Professor Reynolds
came to San Antonio to have City
Physician Menger make a microsco-
pical examination. DIR. Menger con-
Quoted a series of microscCpical exam
nations. and not only succeeded i'm de-
tecting the parasite, but has made sew
eral photographs of II. He says IL Is
the most wonderful discovery ever
made on the human body as far as his
knowledge of the subject goes The
particles taken from the body look
like common sand. are dark brown In
color and are barely visible TO the
naked eye. When placed in acid the
particles foam like seidlitz powders
and they can be seen under the micro
scope giving off carbonic acid gas
Acids also make the particles trans
parent. and they easily crumble into
very fine powder. The parasite is en-
cased i'm a shell. or rather two shells
The parasite itself. when placed undel

WALES CYCLE SPILL.
His Royal Highness Weighs $50 Pounds
and Fell ON "a Tricycle. backwards.

From the New York Sun.
Those Anglomaniacs who cherish the
belief that the Prince of Wales is any
thing of an athlete will be disabused by
the story of how he fell from a tricycle.
To stay on a tricycle. would seem a feat
within the reach of the latest, but it
was beyond His Royal Highness, who
admits that he weighs $50 pounds
He is not more than five feet six
inches.
He fell backward on the road and
shook his fat person badly.
The story is told by the loyal, If in
discreet agent of a bicycle-making
firm, who was called to repair the ma
chine.
II was requested" he says, Ito at
tend upon Sir Francis Knollys at MARI
borough house. 1t appears that while
tricycling in company with Sir Fran
els. 1 believe, in the vicinity of Sand
bingham, the prince. while riding up
hill, had pulled rather heavily upon
his handle bar with the result that the
machine capsized backward, throwing
him heavily to the ground, where he
narrowly escaped being run over by
Sir Francis, who was following closely
behind.
AT Marlborough house l had a con-
versation with Sir Francis Knollys
with regard to the princes accident,
and the desirability of fitting a two
speed gear to his mount, a matter
which Sir Francis, who rides the same
pattern machine as His Royal High
ness, seemed keenly interested. The
machine was perfect of it's kind, seal
ing some 80 pounds and geared to SO
inches; but, as / was bound to explain
to Sir Francis, rather the mount for
skilled tricyclist than for a compare
lively inexperienced rider as the prince
must needs be.
las l was inspecting the machine,
the prince himself appeared at the end
of the corridor, and after exchanging
a few words in French with Sir Fran
els. Joined freely and affably in the dis
cussion. At first he expressed his be-
lief that the machine capsized without
any contributory action on his part,
but 1 ventured to suggest that His
Royal Highness, by sitting too far
back and putting too much weight into
the pull upon the handle bars while
travelling uphill, was responsible to
some degree for the accident. He smil-
ingly confessed to a weight between IS
and IA stone and to the fact that, not
withstanding the forethought of the
designer of the machine in the matter
of the distribution of weight, he some
times found that his wheels ploughed
somewhat heavily on the sandy roads
over which he was in the habit of rid
ing.
AT my request the prince mounted
the machine, which, for the want of a
little adjustment, gave him a rather
uncomfortable seat. / recommended a
lower gear as preliminary to the pro-
jected two-speed gear and that the
saddle be shifted some two inches for
ward"
