CAT BIT HIM.
Georgia Bank Cashier Goes to Paris
for Treatment

Eatonton, Ga, Jan. BOB. W. Hunt,
one of the most prominent citizens,
cashier of the Middle Georgia bank,
was Bitten by a cat on Monday, sup
posed to be mad. The cat had been
sick for few days previous, and on
picking it up to examine it, Mr.. Hunt
was bitten on the right hand, the cat
clinging to its hold until choked off.
Mr.. Hunt applied his lips to the wound
thinking to extract the virus if any
should be present, and fastened to DR..
r. B. Nesbit, who cut the wound and
cauterized it. The cat died two days
afterwards. showing but few symp-
toms of hydrophobia still enough to
cause uneasiness to the victim.
Mr. Hunt left for New York yester-
day morning, carrying the dead cat
with him, to be placed under a close
microscopic examination by his rela-
tive, DR.. Mitchell Pruden, an eminent
microscopic. A telegram received
last night says Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt have
sailed for Paris to undergo the famous
PaSteur treatment.

THURSTON Is REMINDED.
The Nebraska Legislature Call His
Attention to Some Matters.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. Ex-senator Ran
som of Douglass county has introduced
a joint resolution reciting speeches and
letters of Senator Thurston on the sill
yer question during the campaign of
1895. At that time Senator ThruStOn
was quite an earnest advocate of free
coinage of the American product at
an unstated ratio.
After quoting about 1000 words of the
senator's utterances, the joint resolu-
ton calls on him to now support and
vote for any and all measures that will
bring about an abandonment of the ex-
listing gold recommendation and that will
result in a return to bimetalliSm. He
is hereby reminded that we are not yet
realizing financial prosperity under ex-
listing gold monometallisn and we think
now as he did before he was elected
and as he staed at the time of his cleo
ton that it is worth our while to try
the experiment of a return to bimetal-
liSm''

PORTRAIT OF M'KINLEY.
N. Chartran's Painting P1eases Those
Who Have Seen It

New York, Jan. 2O-Mr. TheobaId
Chrartran, the French artist, has re-
turned from Canton, where he had been
for the last five days painting a portrait
of Major Mckinley. The portrait was
ordered by a number of Pittsburg men,
and when finished will be presented by
them to the Carnegie public: library in
that city.
The portrait is on an easel in Mr..
Chartran's studio, and, though it lacks
the finishing touches, it shows itself to
be the best semblance of the coming
president that has yet been seen here,
and gives the lie in the most hearty
manner to the photographic horrors by
which the majority of the American
people know the president-elect-
The portrait is life-size, three-quar-
tiers length. 1t represents Major Nc
Kinley sitting in a rather deep chair
that has mahogany arms, upon which
his hands rest easily. Beside him is a
table with books and papers. He is
dressed in the familiar black frock coat
buttOned UP, has the we'll known black
string tie and the easy standing collar
made familiar by all the campaign pic
lures. The pose is natural and easy.

st. Louis, Jan. 20-And now it is said
that millerS are adulterating their flour
and that barrels of the manufactured
article purpOrting to be made out of the
pure stuff are sold al prices far below
the cost of production.
The margin of profit is maintained by
the introduction of corn, and by the
blending of inferior grades of wheat
into the good wheat which goes through
the mill.
So general has become the clamor
that the Modern Miller, published in
