FISH DYING IN THE MUD.
Draining Chicago Ponds in Lincoln
Park Leaves Them Stranded

Chicago, Oct. 27-Park policemen
gesticulating with uplifted clubs and
shouting or Whistling hundreds of
warnings, had a diverting time all day
yesterday on the borders of the Lin
coin park ponds, where nyriads of pref
ty gold fish and silvery bass, of cat fish
and perch and fine frying minnows lay
IN the mud beds left by the recently
drained off water and afforded an al
most Irresistible temptation to the fire.
quenters of the park.
One finny creature, however, kept
SeduiOuSly out of sight as if realizing it
was the cause of all the fuss for fishes.
This was the carp, the hog of the finny
tribe" whose operations in the sand
bottoms of the ponds have transformed
the waters crystal clearneSS into the
stygian blackness.
Ever as the hog causes mud to seem
muddier, so the carp of Lincoln park
have changed the fine sand of the pond
bottoms into a foul slime in which no
other fish can live.
Hence the park commissioners order
ed the big sluice under the Grant mon
ument opened early last week and the
water in the chain of ponds was drain
ed off into the lagoon.
A little water remained in the south
pond and as the fishes followed the
flow of the water, most of them were
congregated there. 1t was around this
south pool the police were kept busiest
by the curious and prospecting crowds
who fiOcked thither with baskets and
Many a small boy proved incapable
of resisting the temptation to jump in
and grab a speckled beauty left strand
ed by the receding waters. While the
urchins were foundering in the mud a
horde of park policemen shouted and
threatened
Often the poorly shod or bare footed
pOachers refused to return to the shore
and the police were frequently drawn
into divers mud sprints that hugely
amused the visitors to that portion of
the park
Most of the fish will be saved for re-
stocking the ponds. The carp will alone
be shown no quarter. They are to be
fed fresh to the carnivorous animals at
the zoo. The work is to be rushed, so
as to be finished before the early fall
frOStS.
The carp, being very fond of still wa
ter, come in great drOves into the ponds
in winter time over the sIuice from the
lagoon, which, being about on the level
with the lake and incapable of drainage
is said to be one of the carp's most
cherished retreats, affOrding a harbOr
from which disIodgment is not easy.

THE SEASONS NIGER
And the Care Which Men and Es-
peCialIy Women Must Exercise
Just at this Time.

1.-THE greatest danger at this season
of the year comes from shutting up the
pores of the skin.
1t was a professor in a New York
Medical College who said this.
"A cold blast comes suddenly upon
one when a little heated and when the
pores of the skin are open and these
tiny channels close as quickly and
tightly as an oyster. What is the re-
suit? The various fluids of the body
that were going out healthfuIly through
the pores are stopped, thrown back into
the system and become absolute poi
sons to the body unless they are ex-
PEELED in some way. This makes a
tremendous amount of extra work for
the lungs, the kidneys and the liver
When these great organs are in a
healthy condition they do this extra
work easily and quickly, but unfortu-
nately few men and women have kid
neys or liver that are in a perfectly
healthy condition. And, yet, these Sc
cretions of the body must be thrown OF
and thrown off quickly
The truths uttered by this gentleman
are as clear and correct as it is possible
to put ideas into words, and they show
to every man or woman who is suffer-
ing from cold, Indigestion, infiamma-
ton or any of those troubles so common
!
sity of assisting the kidneys and liver
TO do their work.
If you stop and think for one moment
what of all known discoveries for help
ing humanity and especially the trouble
above described, you Will ADMIT that
there is one that stands out pre-eml-
nently, like a grand pine above the rest
! OF the forest. That remedy, which has
accomplished so much, which has done
such vast good in relieving the suffer
ing of both men and women, which has
taken thousands from the verge of the
grave, restored them to health and kept
them in perfect condition and happiness

FOUND STARVING.
Opera Singer Shuts Herself in
Her Room to Die.

New York, Oct. 27.-While Estrela
Belinfante, a pretty opera singer was
starving in her room at the MetropOli-
tan hotel, a draft for SIS was awaiting
her in down town office. She linger-
ed today between life and death. Rath-
er than ask for charity she preferred
to starve. Hunger walked with her for
days and she spent her last 81 for
room in the hotel so that she might
not die in the streets.
It was last Wednesday that she reg
istered at the Metropolitan under the
name of Mrs. Wayne of Boston, on
Saturday the chambermaid reported
that the pretty guest was very i'll.
The hotel physician was summoned
and found that the illness was caused
by slow starvation. He found her IN
conscious. Estrela Belinfante was an
artist as well as singer, but a sudden
attack of blindness from which she
never wholly recovered cut short her
career in that line.

TOMAKE OXYTUBERCULINE
Full Directions for Preparing the
New Consumpti on Cure.

San Francisco, Oct. 27.-Oficial notice
has been received by the Belgian con-
sui. Leon Guislain, that the minister of
foreign affairs had transmitted docu-
ments concerning DR.. Joseph o. Hirsch-
felder's consumption cure to the Roy
al Academy of Medicine of Belgium and
that the academy had commissioned
DR.. Vanlair, one of its titular members,
to make an examination. The formula
for making OXytuberculine, which, 1t
is claimed, makes consumption durable,
is briefly stated as follows:
Veal is soaked in water, and its juice
is then expressed, boiled and filtered.
Glycerine, peplone and salt are put in
the liquid, which is made slightly al
kaline with carbonate of soda.
In this liquid the germs of tubercu-
lOsis are grown When they are fully
developed. the liquid, with the germs,
is boiled and is filtered. The resultant
liquid is tubercUline.
This tuberculine is the basis of DR..
Hirschfelder's preparation. Peroxide of
hydrogen is added to it, and the mix
ture is heated for $50 hours. at the end
of which time it is oxytuberculine. This
is clarified by a caustic soda solution
and a portion of bOracic acid is put in it
to keep it from decomposition.

ARIZONA'S COPPER PLANT.
It is Located at Clifton, Six Miles
from the Gold Strike.

Clifton, Ariz., Oct. 27.-The city of Cliff
ton, hidden away it is among the
mountains of Arizona, is little known to
the outer world, and yet here is in run
ming operation the largest as well the
most successful copper plant in the world.
The company is a Scotch concern, all
of the directors living in that country.
Sixteen years ago copper ore was found
here and developed by the Mexicans and
brought by them into EI Paso. Tex. on
burros. The tailings are used up now
by the magnificent new smelter here, and
pan out wonderfully well. Whole noun
tains of the ore are found. To the Met
calf and Longfellow mines the Arizona
Copper company operates a twenty-inch
narrow-gauge railway to carry ore to
Clifton, where the main plant is in blast.
The company also owns the line of rail-
way running from Clifton to LOrdsburg,
N. NJ, a distance of Il miles, where con-
nection is made with the Southern Pa
ciic.
Nearly the entire male population of
Clifton are employees of the Arizona Cop
per company.
There is a complete gas works, electric
light plant on the ground, all built by
the company. Soon new library build
ing will be built for the employees.

FRANCE, AND ENGLAND.
a QuarreI is Brewing Between Them
in West Africa.

Paris, Oct. pa semi-officia1 state
ment regarding the reported trouble in
West Africa has been issued. 1t says:
1.-The news from West Africa fore
shadows great difficulties in Nikki and
Borgu. The Niger company (British)
is sending officers there to incite rebel
lion and distribute arms to the ma
tiVeS. In view of this situation French
troops have been dispatched to that
district from Senegal as a preventive
measure. Moreover, the British negO-
tiatOrs for a settlement of the Niger
question have been in Paris for over a
week and everything points to Great
Britains seeking to let matters drag.
Seemingly she does not intend to dis
cuss the question:; but means will be
undoubtedly found to foil these tao
tics"
London, Oct. 27.-Replying to the
semi official statement concerning the
dangerous state of affairs in West At
RIGA published in Paris, the British
colonial officials declare that there does
not seem to be any reasonable fear of
complications at Nikki, provided the
French government behaves reasOna-
bly,.
But it was added at the colonial of
fee, Great Britain has taken the de-
termination to more effectually police
her territory and IF the French per
sist in trespassing complications will
naturally ensue."

LAST WEEK IN NEBRASKA.
Mr. Bryan is Sure That the Silver
Vote Will be Larger Than in 1896.


Lincoln, Oct. 27.-Politics in Nebraska
have been very warm the last week.
Mr.. Bryan has devoted the whole time
to stirring up his bimetallic friends and
has been attracting enormous crowds
He made three speeches every day last
week and will do the same this week.
Today Mr.. Bryan gave his estimate of
the result in the state:
1.-THE silver candidates will receive a
heavier vote than the silver candidates
last year received. Bimetallism has not
lost a single partisan, and has gained
many since last year. I do not expect as
heavy a vote this year as last years
total, but the proportion will be an in
crease for bimetallism."
Chairman Mercer of the state central
Republican committee today declared
that there was no doubt in his mind of
the success of the Republican candi-
dates.
He says:
I'VE have done little campaigning,
for it was not necessary. The state is
so prosperous that silver has fallen
down on its own weight. OF course Mr..
Bryan attracted crowds. He is a bril-
liant speaker, and has many friends,
but that does not mean that he Will
make any votes for his cause. That is
sue will not figure in the result this
year. The vote for sound money will
be an Improvement over the vote last
year, and L expect to see Bryan defeat
ed by at least 10000 majority"
Warren Switzler, candidate for SUI
preme judge on the National Democrat
ic ticket, says:
81 expect to see a turning over in our
party, and I believe I will poll the full
vote of the original Democratic party
of the state. Certain the party is tired
of the silver question. Well, expect to
have $4,000 votes to my credit on cleo
ton day"
Those not leaning too strongly to-
ward any party declare that the Ma
tional Democrats have not improved in
their strength since last year, and that
the fight between the silver forces and
the Republicans will be so close that
the official count may be necessary to
determine the result

Bank of England's Borrowing Has
Decided EfecU on the Market.
London, Oct 27.-The Bank Of England
recent borrowings have materially re-
duced the floating supply of money.
Last weeks return showed reduction
of $4,000, 900 on the total deposit, caused
by the hardening of rates. and the dis
count house advanced the deposit rate
from IA per cent to H. per cent formoney
on call and from ~ per cent to IA per
cent for money on notice
The sales of American securities have
virtually ceased and some disposition to
buy is apparent, which may send gold
to the United States.
The hardening tendency of the money
market unfavorably affected stocks.
Throughout the week American railway
securities were inactive; the operators
are holding aIoof from them until the sit
uation in Wall street becomes palmer, but
many expect a recovery in values.
