injury Goes On slowly and SO IL Not
Perceived.
Or. Francis Bowling has given a very
sensible paper before the Mississippi
Valley Medical Association, showing,
as the careful result Of investigation
by himself and others, that impaired
vision is the common result OF the ha-
bitual use OF tobacco, either by chewing
or smoking, rather more by the chew
ing on account of the greater absorp-
tion Of the nicotine. says the Journal
OF Hygiene. He conducted a personal
examination of $50 male employees in
large tobacco factory, all Of whom
usei tobacco in one o. Sotn Of these
ways. OF these he found that in forty
five cases the normal acuteness OF
vision was much diminished. In thirty
cases the impairment was serious, the
subjects mistakinR red for brown or
black, green for blue or orange, and
sometimes black, when the tests we're
made They were also unable TO make
out tho white spot in the center OF the
black card. More than half Of the 150
showed persistent contraction of both
pupils, and this was the invariable ac-
compartment Of some form of defective
vision. In most cases the failure Of
vision is very slow and becomes well
advanced before the patient discovers
It. This slowness Of action is The rea-
son why the users of tobacco do not no
tice its effects II is with them as with
the frog-put one Of these animals into
water Of ordinary temperature and by
means of heat raise 1t about 1 degree
Fahrenheit every FIVE minutes. and you
may bring the water to a degree Of
heat which kills the frog and he never
knows 1t. Its action has been so gradual
that the animal did not feel the change.
So It is with many who use tobacco.

KANSAS BANK LOOTED.

Vault OF State Bank OF NIckerson
Cracked and over 90, 900 Secured.
HUTCHINSON, Kan, March 2l-BanS
'obbers took charge of Niclterson yes
terday morning and, with guard on
the outside to take care of citizens,
,racked the vault and safes and So
cured over S., 900 in cash from the
state bank of that city. 1t was bold
work, and the four men who were in
the gang were evidently old
hands They were from until
5 o'clock finishing the job, and a
guard of two men on the outside
held off those who discovered the af-
fair. Some of the money was badly
mutilated in the blowing of the safe,
and was left upon the floor. Presi-
ient L. c. Brown states that some
thing over S5, 900 was secured-Sl, 500
IN gold, $500 in silver, and the remain
Ter in paper. Those who saw the men
At work were terrified by Winchesters
and did not give the alarm until the
gang was out of town. The bank had
burglar insurance upon the money,
and the loss falls upon the insurance
companies No trace Of the gang has
been discovered since they left Nick
erson at day break.

That beautiful transparent stone
called Tabrlz marble, much used in
the burial places of Persia and In their
grandest edlfces. consists OF petrified
water of ponds in certain parts Of the
country. This petrifaction may be
traced from its commencement to its
termination: In one part the water is
clear. in a second It appears thicker
and stagnant. in third quite blacker,
and In It's last stage It is white like
frost. When the operation Is complete
a stone thrown on its surface makes
no impression. and one may walk over
It without wetting ones shoes The
substance thus produced is brittle and
transparent, and sometimes richly
striped with red, green and copper col
or. So much Is this marble. which
may be cut into large slabs, looked
upon as a luxury that none but the
king. his sons and persons especially
privileged are permitted 10 take II.

Senator Proctor's speech in the sem
ate Is significant in the time OF its de-
livery and in the manner Of it's descrip-
tion of the narrowing condition OF
Cuban affairs. With the expectation
that the report OF the Maine board Of
inquiry Is to be presented in the next
few days, in at least a partially com
pleted form, it Is manifest that there
was some design in his unexpected APP
peArance on the floor of the senate
chamber 10 explain the results Of his
observations on the stricken island. 1t
seems strongly likely that his utter
Anees were made thus unexpectedly
by request or at least in conformity
with wishes expressed from u high
source. There can longer be little
doubt that the president is about
ready TO transmit to congress his
views on the unhappy state OF
affairs with recommendations Of
vigorous action to put an end TO the
barbarities now going on in the
ANAanNa A@SN AoA NAAa1
tioas will go is q matter Of pure speeu-
-iation. II would seem, however, that
there is desire on the part of the ad-
ministration 20 have the country
authoritatively advised as 10 the state
OF affairs in Cuba from a digniaed
source before the results Of the Maine
inquiry are made public. II can
scarcely be doubted that the president
read Senator Proetor's speech before
it was publicly delivered. Perhaps il
may. therefore, not incorrectly be ac-
cosnted an unofficial rtterRnee of the
administration, though the senator
went TO Cuba aud made his investiga-
tion IN private capacity.
There was manifest care in the
speech 10 avoid the slightest sugges-
tion Of sensationalism, but there was
no lack OF yigor In presentation Of the
state Of Affairs In Cuba. American
duty to put an immediate stop to such
inhnmAnity, by some step that shall
be both efiieAeious and just. can
hardly be questioned by any after
this presentation. What that step
shall be Is q matter for determi-
nnticn on questions Of policy
But the duty is clear. Senator Proc
Tor has shown that Spain's course in
ouba. the only course by which she
can ever manage 70 restore her sway,
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1898-03-22

Is by the starvation OF hundreds OF
thousands OF people. He has shown
that she can never restore her rule un-
til the island is practically depopu-
lated, that she can never regain her
sovereignty until 1t shall be over a
land laid waste, over land incapable
OF supporting the remnant OF human
life that could withstand the trials Of
the intervening period. Senator Proc
tor has made PLAIN that Spain's pur-
pose means rule or ruin. II she cannot
rule, or rather mis-rule as she has
done in the past, she proposes TO leave
nothing to rule or mis-rule. Senator
Proctor has made PLAIN that Americas
duty for the preservation OF her inter
ests IN Cuba demands immediate &C.
tlon. He has made plain that Ameri-
cas- duty TO humanity, a call far
higher, will not permit us longer TO
hesitate. On these two propositions
Senator Proctor may be accorded the
unanimous support Of the American
people without in the least stretching
their sense OF conscience.

Cslebration OF the Annual Festival o.
Bt. George the Martyr.


81. George the Martyr.
The annual festival of St George, the
saint and martyr, was celebrated by
the wearers OF the military cross OF
that name in the Winter palace, as usu-
al. at the invitation Of the ear, says a
st. Petersburg correspondent Of the
London Times. All persons possess
ing this decoration, whether at present
in the service or out OF it-and they are
to be counted by thousands-are enu-
tied to be present The great halls of
the Winter palace are crowded most OF
the day by masses of soldiery, priests
and others taking part in the ecclesi-
astical and military ceremonies and the
banquet which follows. The young
car is one OF the distinguished few in
this vast though select throng who do
not yet wear the st. Georges cross,
but his majesty and the empress are,
nevertheless, the guiding spirits and
the amiable and condescending host
and hostess at these ceremonies and
entertainments. At 1880 their inn
perial majesties, with the other mem
bers of the imperial family, issued from
their private apartments and paced
through the halls, preceded by several
hundred cavaliers Of all ranks and
branches Of the army and navy, two by
two, as far as the chapel Here the
metropolitan and priests Joined the
procession, which returned in similar
order to the great hall of St George,
where prayers were offered up in the
name of the saint. The metropolitan
then sprinkled the persons OF their inn
perial majesties, the troops and the
colors, with holy water, after which
the empress and the grand duchesses
and court ladies', as well as the clergy,
retired, and the car remained for
awhile 20 witness the ceremonious car
rying away of the military standards
to the guard room in the palace, where
they are always kept. In the after
noon the rank and file were entertained
at banquet in the lower floor OF the
palace. The car, as usual. walked
round the tables and drank to the
health of the men, who finally carried
home with them the plates and mugs
as souvenirs Of the occasion. At $50
in the evening their majesties gave an
other banquet in the Nicholas hall to
the officer knights of the order. A
salute was fired from the guns in the
fortress in honor of the festival.

May Involve Important Political. Gil
matiosI and Economical Changes,
Artesian wells sunk in the desert ap-
pear to find an abundant supply Of
water without going very deep for It,
and this fact may in time put a new
face on desert conditions, involving
important political, climatic and eco
nomical consequences. says the New
York Tribune. The English have be-
gun sinking them along the Berber-
Suaklm road, finding water there as
abundant as 1t was in the regions near
the Nile when their first experimental
wells were put down. Flowing under
the SahaTan sands there may be water

sterile expanse and rescue Il In a
measure from It's historic barenness
and desolation. Some years ago a
French engineer proposed to cut a ca
nal from the Mediterranean TO the low
er desert levels, thus creating a new in
land sea, or, rather. restoring an old
one, but for some reason the project
was abandoned. Local irrigation by
means OF artesian borings is more
judicious expedient and the English

tion the French are quite likely to fol-

throughout the country since the le-

Is a similar agreement among the com

Union, and those who have oppose d
such cempscts as destructive to com

to take a cue from this suit IL the
compact is pronounced illegal, to At
tack similar agreements in other
states. The suit comes up on a prayer
for injunction to prevent the insurance
commissioner from enforcing state
law requiring insurance companies TO
pay taxes and file bonds under certain
conditions. The commissioner replies
that the compact is illegal and that as
a consequences he can exclude the com
panies from doing business in Cali

MURDERED BY A MOB.
horrible Crime In the Indian Territory
Woman and Two Mon Killed.


Woman and Two Mon Kned.
MusKooEE, Ind Ter, March Ell
The town Of Wybark, five miles north
II here, Is all excitement over a crime
which was committed near there last
1ight, by which woman and two
men lost their lives, and which bids
fair TO rival any Of the horrible crimes
which are now on the criminal calen-
lar OF the Indian Territory. Ed
Chalmers "a negro, who recently mar
led a white woman named Headly,
was visited by mob of six
white men aud both Chalmers and
his wife were shot and killed
by the mob Chalmers lived until
this morning, and before he
lied he gave the names of some Of the
nen he recognized In the mob It
seems that the six men had planned
TO kill Chalmers and his wife outright
and leave no one to tell the tale, but
iuring the fight which took place be-
tween Chalmers and the mob, one of
their mum ber was shot, il is thought,
accidentally, by one of the mob, and
the body of one Matthews, an aged
white man, who resided at Gibson sta
tion, town near WybarlS, was found
near the railroad, not far from
Chalmers house, pierced with a
bullet Matthews answered the de-
scription of one Of the men described
by Chalmers before he died The floor
)f the house in which Chalmers and
his wife resided was covered with
blood and gave evidence of a desper-
ate struggle. 1t was also found that
Matthews had been carried from Chal-
mers' house by his pals to the place
where his body was found, and that
they had laid guns by his side to leave
the impression that he had committed
the crime. United states Marshal
Bennetts deputies have been inyesti-
eating the matter and some startling
developments are expected.

To the cakeEaters:


My Dear Friends-Of course, must
call you friends, for probably no class
OF people help TO swell the doctors poe
ketbook so much as cake eaters, because
cake is one of the articles of food which
is made in every quality. from worst to
best. Now. / am going to turn philan-
thropist for awhile and tell you how 20
not harmful.
In making cake, remember to have
every ingredient at hand before begin
ming the mixing. BE careful in rubbing
butter and sugar together to make a
smooth. creamy mixture. and in beating
the eggs make a high stroke with the
fork so as to include aquantity Of air;
this is one of the great principles OF
cake making.
One Of the most generally liked cakes
has chocolate introduced into il in some
form, and here is my own recipe.
COMFORTS CHOCOLATE CAKE.
One cup OF sugar, one-half cup OF but
ter, one half cup OF milk, one teaspoon
full OF soda. two teaspoonfuls OF cream Of
tartar. two cups OF -four. two eggs. leav-
ing one yolk for the cream, season with
extract of vanilla. Cream--Three squares
Of chocolate, one-half cup OF milk, yollS
Of one egg, one tablespoonful OF sugar.
Mix the egg. sugar, milk and chocolate.
Put on the stove and stir until IL thick
ems. When cool, stir into the cake just
before putting in the -four.
