AT a church in Lenox, Mass, last sum-
mel the pulpit was supplied by an q
sistant clergyman. One Sunday in the
course of his sermon the minister told
how a man had amassed a large amount
of money simply by prayer, going on to
give the incidents of the case. A litter
ran through the congregation when the
minister, after dwelling on the fact
that prayer alone had brought about
this mans fortune, placed his hands to-
gether, and, looking upward in a very
prayerful attitude, said: Lord, teach
us how to prayI"

What Everybody Knows,

OR ought to know, is that health and
even life itself depends upon the con-
dition of the blood. Feeding. as it
does, all the organs of the body, it
must be rich and pure in order to give
proper nourishment. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla makes the blood pure, rich
and n%ourishing, and in this way
strengthens the nerves, creates an
appetite, tones the stomach and
builds up the health. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla wards off colds, pneumonia
and %fevers, which are prevalent at
this time.

worry WIN KIN.

Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiously interesting
than the fact that worry will kill. More
remarkable still, says q medical ex-
change, it has been able to determine,
from recent discoveries, just how wor-
ry does kill. It Is believed by many
scientists who have followed most care
fully the growth Of the science OF brain
diseases that scores Of deaths set down
to other causes are due to worry, and
that alone. The theory is o simple one
80 simple that anyone can readily UNI
derstand 1t. Briefly put, 1t amounts
to this: Worry Injuries beyond repair
certain cells of the brain, and, the brain
being the nutritive center Of the body,
the other organs become gradually In
jured, and when some disease Of these
organs or a combination Of them, arises
death finally ensues. Thus does worry
kill. Insiduously, like many other dis
eases, 1t creeps upon the brain In the
form of a single, constant, %neyer-1ost
idea, and, as the dropping water over
q period Of years will wear q groove In
a stone, so does worry gradually, I'M
perceptibly, but no less surely destroy
the brain cells that lead all the rest
that are, 30 to speak, the commanding
officers of mental power, health and
motion. Worry, to make the theory
still stronger, Is an irritant at certain
points, which produces little harm II 1t
comes at intervals or irregularly. o.
%casional worrying Of the system the
brain can cope with, but the reiteration
Of n idea Of q disquieting sort the
cells Of the brain r not proof against.
It is as IL the skull were laid bare and
the surface Of the brain struck light
~ with Q hammer every few seconds
with mechanical profession, with never
a sign Of a let-up or the failure Of Q
stroke. Just in this way does the an
noying idea, the maddening thought
that will not be done away with, strike
or fall upon certain erv cells, never
ceasing, and week by week Eliminating

MYSTERY OF A woMAN's OUTFIT.

ricultural building secret.
| There is a mystery lurking around the
| Agriculture building on the exposition
grounds and while the entire police force
! has tried to ferret it out, 1t continues to
| lurk just the same.
Friday night the men who do the janitor
| work in the Agriculture building performed
! their labors the same as usual and left the
structure shortly after midnight. When
they left everything was in perfect order.
| During the remainder Of the night the
guards occupied their positions just inside
| the inner doors and swear that nobody en-
| tered the building during the night, but
somebody did and conclusive evidence OF
their having been there was most apparent
the following morning. When the day force
| of men and women came into the building
Yesterday morning one Of the women went
! into the toilet room and a moment later
she reappeared whooping like Comanche
Indian and declaring that woman had
been killed in the room. hurried investi-
cation was made and in the center OF the
room was found full suit Of female cloth
| ing, including everything usually worn be-
tween the hat and the stockings. How they
came there was the mystery and the mys-
terry that remains unsolved That they had
been cast off on account OF their worth
lessness was the first argument advanced,
but this was easily disproven. The clothing
| is OF fine material and perfectly clean
The dress is Of rich material. such as would
be worn only by woman in good circum-
| stances.
During the day the detective force made
a thorough examination Of the premises
| but were unable to learn anything that
would throw light upon the matter The
night guards were questioned and both OF
them maintain that no person entered the
building during the hours they were on duty
| The janitors declare they visited the toilet
room just before they went OF duty Satur-
day morning and that at that time there
| was no wearing apparel in the room or any
where in the vicinity.
While the police do not feel certain, they
have theory. They say 1t Is possible that
some woman, who for reasons best known
to herself, desired to hide her identity, went
into the toilet room, evaded the guards
and inside put on a suit OF mems clothing
| leaving her own in the place.

ROW OVER P0LlCEMEN'S PICNIC
Injection of the Herdmnn Gang Into
Politics Stirs Things Up
n Hit,

There is already trouble over the injection
by the Herdman gang of politics into the
forthcoming policemens picnic for which
preparations are being made. Besides the
competition for prizes the program Is to
include a number of speeches and the COM
mittee in charge, proceeding upon the
theory that the police relief fund, for whose
benefit the picnic is to be held, knows no
politics. undertook to invite Mayor Moores,
Assistant County Attorney Jefferies, Judge
Scott, eX-Police Judge Berka and Attorney
T. ]. Mahoney to say few words for the
occasion.
This list includes three republicans, one
gold democrat and silver republican and
fails to accord representation either to the
populists or the Herdmann brand of demo-
Gratis. Upon the discovery of this fact by a
reporter of the local popocratic organ, who
had formerly posed as chief Of the detective
force until his opera bouffe methods brought
so much ridicule that even the Reform
Police Board could no longer stand for him,
1t was Immediately reported to his employ
ers and to the police commissioners A Wig
orous protest was entered, particularly
against Judge Scott, on the ground of the
judges disfavor with the Herdmanites and
demand was made that Judge Scott s
name be left off the program and supplanted
by that of a good populist or Herdman
democrat satisfactory to the gang 1t is
asserted that Judge Scott is largely re-
sponsible for the impending exit of the out
going board under the decision of the su-
preme court declaring unconstitutional the
law under which it pretends to hold and the
threat was made that the whole picnic
would be vetoed and broken up unless the
odious speaker were extinguished in ad-
vance.
The committee of policemen in charge Of
the picnic strangely enough, seem to have
resented this interference and to have de-
clared emphatically against the proposed
change in the picnic program. So far the
committee has stood pat and Judge Scott's
name is still on the list. At last accounts
Judge Scott was still billed as one of the
orators of the day, but the fear is ex-
pressed that he will not have among his
audience any Of the members of the Reform
Police Board.

MERCURY MAKESCENTURY RUN
Touches the Hundred Mark mt Four
O'Clock and Then Drops Down
u Few Pegs.

Mercury unattached, made the first GEN.
tury run OF the season yesterday. He ran
up to the 100 mark at about o'clock in the
afternoon, and was exhausted after that
that he gave up his original intention of
pushing up to the end Of the run and play
ing around the woodwork.
Mr.. Welsh of the Weather Bureau was
clerk Of the course and at the finish OF the
hot game he said Mercury had scored 90
at o'clock, 9S at 8, 100 at 4, 81 at 5, 96
at and "a at T. AS the spectators wit
messed the falling in the record after the
100 mark had been passed they arose, and
with one acclaim cried out: For this re-
lief much thanks"
There was a hot time in the old town last
night, but there was hotter time yester-
day afternoon. The poor unfortunates who
had to pound the hot fagstones of Farnam
street and other unshaded parts of the city
during the noon and afternoon hours suf-
fered greatly. The least movement was one
of great unpleasantness, and was avoided
| whenever possible. 1t was the hottest day
Of the exposition year, and many of the
"oldest citizens declared that it was one Of
the hottest days within their memory
The letter carriers caught the hot wave
unusually hard Just as though their tedi-
GUS trips about town in the blazing sun
light were not enough discomfort they were
given warm reception while asserting their
mail at the pestoffice. Advantage was taken
Of the warm weather yesterday to test the
hot air apparatus of the new government
building.
Up until 10 o'clock last night only two
cases of prostration by the heat had been
reported.
Fred Carbeve, an employe Of the city,
working in the paving department at Thir-
ty-third and Center streets, was badly over
come by heat shortly before o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
Superintendent Beverly of the street de-
partment was on the grounds soon and had
him conveyed to his home at Thirteenth
and Williams streets.
Nick Farzly, working with Carbeve, suf-
fered a slight touch of sunstroke.
One Of the big, handsome horses that is
used in the team that delivers Krug beer
to downtown customers, dropped dead yes
terday afternoon from the heat while the
wagon was making the rounds. The death
occurred at the corner of Fourteenth and
Douglas streets.
