Club to order Saturday night. He
had evidently collected somebody's
board bill, for he was gotten up re-
gardless of expense.
He wore clean shave, a standing
collar and new necktie that was so
loud that it disturbed the meeting
Standing out in bold relief in the
most conspicuous part of the
necktie was diamond that must
have cost money In fact Col. Bill
Bamberger, who is judge of some
kinds Of diamonds, focused his op-
tics upon Col. Cooper's sparkler and
gave 1t as his professional opinion
that it was a gem of genuine value
and worth fully $475. When we say
that Col. Cooper was attired in a
clean shave and diamonds, we do not
mean to have it inferred that this was
all he wore. In fact he had ON other
articles of apparel, but the ornaments
referred to were the most conspicu-
GUS features of his costume.
The President called the Club to
order and then produced a photo
graph of himself, which showed the
broad and polished expanse of his
forehead, that began at his eyebrows
and disappeared IN the distance be-
yond the apex of his Uranium. TAX
ing it in his hand he said
"Cclonels, l have here very hand
some picture of your honored Presi
dent, which propose to give as re-
ward to any member of this club who
can give me the correct answer to a
conundrum | shall PROFOUND"
Great interest was at once aroused.
Col. Bamberger again expressed an
opinion and said the rate of interest
shown was at least ten per cent,
which led Col. Joe Twyman to OBJ
serve that he had never seen anything
like it since the prosperous days be.
fore silver was demonetized. While
this talk was going on soTTo voCE, OF
sorter vocal to put it in plain English
Col. Cooper continued;
THE conundrum is this: What i:
the difference between a black haired
man and bald-headed man."
One by one the Colonels of the
CluD were forced to give it up.
AT last Col. Shorty Ort, who had
been thinking with all his might fol
a whole minute, arose with look Of
triumph on his lace.
DO | have to take the picture p
he asked, as he shielded his eyes from
Col Cooper's diamond.
"No," said the President.
Then I'll tel. you the difference.
The hair of a black headed man is
CROW SHADE and the hair of the bald
headed man is NIT. Gimme be some
thing harder"
Col. Ort was greeted with applause
and the Colonies crowded around him
to offer their congratulations, while
Col. Cooper returned the photo to his
pocket with crest fallen look on his
face.
He shortly afterwards called Vice
President Ort to the chair and ex-
cused himself, saying he wanted to
go and put his diamond in the safe
before the combination was turned off
and the time lock put on,
1t was Col. Ort's first experience in
the chair and the ease and grace
with which he presided throughout
the evening was remarked upon by
all.
Nothing of Importance was done,
except to appoint a committee to con
struct a system of levees to protect
the Club from the wave of prosperity
that is expected to sweep over the
country after next Thursday.

REINDEER FREIGHT LINE.
One Will be Established Between st.
Michael and Dawson.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Secretary AIger
has sent Lieutenant Randall. com
mander of the United States troops at
St. Michael, an order directing him to
make use of the reindeer in Alaska for
the transportation OF supplies and the
relief of sufferers. Secretary Alger
has had under consideration for a long
time the relief of distressed miners in
the KlOndike country and has decided
on reindeer as the best means of for
warding supplies
The last reports from CAPTAIN Raw
indicated that much suffering is likely
owing to the lack of food and this will
be added to by the failure since the re-
port, of boats to get up the river Sec
retary Ayers idea is to establish a
regular line of reindeer communication
under military mana cement. Mean
time adViceS have reached the war de-
partment from private sources to the
effect that there is more food along the
Yukon than is generally supposed and
that although there may be suffering
no man will go hungry if he cares to
travel for the food.
The steamers were unable to get
through owing to low water. but is re-
ported they left their stores of provis-
ions along the river at occasional
points. Altogether there are about
1,2O0 tons of provisions within 300 miles
of Dawson, along the Yukon, also there
are 600 tons near the Tanar river and
with accommodations for from 800 to
400 people at FIT. Yukon the department
is advised that there will probably be
food sufficient for all the people now in
the country.

NEW PAPER MONEY.
Secretary Gage Proposes Uniform;-
ty in Designs.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The cabinet
session yesterday was very brief and
devoted to department matters. Meth
er foreign affairs nor the Union Pacific
foreclosure sale were discussed. Secre-
tary Gage presented the question of the
advisability of a reform in the designs
of United States paper money. There
are at present in current three classes
OF government paper money; silver
certificates, treasury notes of 1890 and
United States notes or greenbackS. In
each of these classes there are nine
denominations, making twenty seven in
all, each being represented by a special
design.
Secretary Cages plan is to have one
design for the three one dollar notes,
another for the tWOs and so on up to
81 900, the highest. In order that the
three classes of paper money may be
readily distinguished the seals and the
distinctive cOlOrS. The secretary ar
gued that the new designs would in a
great measure prevent the raising of
notes and the design would at once
identify the denomination Independent
of the numerals
The secretary had with him at the
cabinet meeting samples of the new de-
expressed themselves as highly pleased
with the scheme. Without something
unforeseen occurs to prevent, this plan
viii be carried out as soon as the notes
can be prepared. Before the cabinet
meeting ex-Secretary Carlisle saw the
President but would say nothing con
cerning the object of his visit.
Senator Bacon of Georgia saw the
President and urged the pardon of Lou

HIS QUIET GAME OF POKER
Discipline" at the Medical College
Takes No Cognizance of Card
Games

One of the Kansas Medical college stu
dents, man of % years who lives in Lin
coin county and has taught school, was
made miserable by his fellow students be
cause of a quiet game" which he i'm
agtned had been discovered by the faculty
of the school.
It seems that some of the students sat
UP late and had a game of poker. This
student lost considerable money and felt
sore about it. Another student went to
him and told him that the faculty knew
Of the game and the best thing he could
do would be to go to DR.. r. S. 1Iagee
and confess and ask for mercy. With
fear and trembling and considerable
shame the young Lincoln county student
entered DR.. Magee's office and, securing
a private interview with the secretary of
the college, confessed his ''crime." DR..
Magee was much surprised and soon he
realized that the young man was being
made the butt of a joke. but he thought
he might well be on the right side and
read him lecture. anyway, so he said:
This is a very grave offense. You have
violated a law of the state and a rule of
the college. I will have to refer your
case to the faculty.
The young man went to his room and
packed his trunk. ready to leave for Lin
coin county. But the faculty has not yet
disciplined him.

A NEW DRESS FOR Ten CENTS.

A Michigan Woman Tells How She
Made am OLD Dress Look Like New
with Diamond Dyes for Only Ten
Cents.
Last fall had a dress dyed at a
dye shop writes Mrs. A l. Irion of
Detroit, Mich. ''and paid $3.50 for the
work. I could use only part of the
goods, as they We're not all of the same
color. Now, last week I bought a
package of Diamond Dyes for ten cents
and dyed a whole dress with it. The
dress is just lovely and the smallest
pieces are as good as the large ones,
everything being an even color"
It is not a difficult task to dye with
Diamond Dyes, for plain, simple direc-
tiOns on every package tell how the
dyes should be used. Many colors can
be made with no more trouble than it
would be to wash the goods.
Do not risk your material with dyes
that claim to color both cotton and wool
with the same dye, for it is impossible
to get satisfactory results with dyes OF
that character. In Diamond Dyes, there
are special dyes for cotton and special
dyes for WOOL and they are all guaran-
teed to give satisfaction, if used accord

HUMP-BACKED TURTLE
With an Alligator Head Captured in
Indiana.

Indiana
Bourbon, Ind, Oct. 23.-FOr several
years Hoffman's lake, near this place,
has had its allotted sea serpent story,
but not until yesterday was the report
verified, when a turtle weighing 103
pounds, with a peculiar hump on it's
back. was caught. The feet are formed
like a ducks foot, with web. The
tail is extra short, but the neck when
stretched out easily reaches back over
the hump, which is II inches high. The
head is quite ike an alligator's head
and the shell around the edges is so
soft that it easily adjusts itself to the
contour of the legs.
Mark Snepp, while fishing on the lake
with a companion, saw the animal and
succeeded in running a spear into its
back, but the attempt nearly cost him
his life, for it turned the boat over in
its attempt to free itself from the
spear 1t finally turned over on its
back, and. after the fishermen had
gained shore,~they secured another boat
and landed their prize. It is now on
exhibition at this place.

THE HOOVER CASE.
Jury Finally Returns a Verdict of
Manslaughter in Fourth Degree

Mr.. R. B. Welch has received a tele-
gram from Oskaloosa announcing that
the jury in the case of the state against
Samuel Newman, charged with the
murder of Charles Hoover, returned a
verdict this morning of manslaughter
IN the fourth degree. The punishment
IS not more than two years in the pen
itentiary or less than six months in
Jail
This was the fourth trial of the case.
Twice in former trials the jury in the
case disagreed, and once a verdict of
murder in the second degree was re-
turned From its nature and the man
ner in which It dragged along, the case
has become famous in the eastern part
of the state. Newman killed Hoover
for supposed intimacy with his wife at
his home in HOlton.
The case was transferred to Jefferson
county on a change of venue. and the
verdict this morning will probably end
it. Captain Joe Waters of this city and
Judge Nicholson OF Council Grove de-
Tended Newman and R. B. Welch aided
