sULNG MADE BY The arJUTANr GENERAL
Miners Make oNcrturcs to the Oper-
ntors that May End the Cont

il Very serious.

DEs MONIES. April ls.-OSpecial Tele.
rram) )-Adgu,ant General Byers has re-
cCiyed from Aijutaut General Corbin a rul-
ing Of the attorney general Of the United
States to the effect that the United states
government Will not reimburse any state for
national guards equipment turned over 10
volunteers at the beginning Of the Spanish
war. This ruling is made on the ground
that all such equipment was originally made
by the government under an annual appr1-
priatou Of 100000 20 the states for such
purposes and belongs 70 the government.
Iowa has been expecting to re-oyer $40. 600
for such property, but under this ruling will
be compelled to equip her new guards out
Of the annual appropriation Of 900 from
the government. II will require at leas.
$4,000 to fully equip the two regiments just
organized, hence the ruling will seriously
cripple the state war department. The rul-
ing is construed by the adjutant general to
indicate that the states might secure even
tually a return OF the property, IL
such could be Identified, which would be
hard thing TO do Otherwise it will have to
wait and ask congress for an appropriation
before 1t can have a guard service. over
$1,000 worth OF tentage went into the sery-
ice from Iowa, besides arms, ordnance
stores and quartermaster's stores amount
ing to nearly 500, 900.

The union has made oyertures for a confer

The latest reports from the smallpox sit
uation in Jones county indicate that it is
most alarming. DR.. Schrader Of Iowa City,
president OF the State Board of Health,
wires Secretary Kennedy of the state board
that there were at least 250 exposures be-
fore the disease was recognized and that he
has established a strict quarantine at Me-
chani2sville, Lisbon and Mount Vernon,
towns lying in between the Northwestern
road, where the exposures have been, but
says there is a question as TO whether this
will materially affect the spread Of the dis
ease The exposures at Mount Vernon were
in Cornell college. Two young women
students there were called TO their home in
Greenfield township to nurse their brother,
the 2O-year-old son of Henry Zimmerman,
who died April ?. After his death they re-
turned TO the college and one Of them was
taken i'll in the class room. Both are now
at home, i'll with smallpox. DR.. Hubbell
of Mechancsville informs DR.. Kennedy that
he is attending the Zimmerman family, in
which there have been Ave cases since the
death. He has two other cases, one small
pox and one yarioloid. 1t is estimated that
the first case, which resulted in death, was
contracted in Davenport, where young Zm-
norman had been visiting. 1t takes from
fourteen to sixteen days for the disease to
incubate. DR.. Kennedy says that it will
probably be several days yet before the full
measure OF the outbreak can be determined

It has long been matter OF wonder
that Switzerland should be able OMAN

S5OO,0O0 She could in q case Of emer-
gency put 100000 troops in the field
In two days, with 100000 more in re-
serve, besides $1,000 militia The Swiss
have been peculiarly strong fighters
since the dawn of European history,
running ell invaders from the Romans
to the French by their never-say-die
mode of warfare. Almost every man in
the present Swiss army is marksman,
as shooting societies are substantially
encouraged by the government The
equipment Is most simple, as each man
keeps his rifle and accoutrements at
home. There is little or no artillery,
the nature Of the country forbidding
the use Of that branch Of the serv-
Ice. The men IN the republic, no mat
ter Of what rank or calling, serve ten
years, from 90 to 80, being called out
for drill 45 days in the first year and 16

ually responsible for the condition of
their munitions of war, and entirely Of
rfcered by men Of their neighborhood.
The system, II limited, is by far the

LIFTING POWER.
A Statistical Estimate OF the Aver
age Mans Power at Vary
ing Ages.

The muscles, in common with all the
organs Of the body, have their stages
of development and decline; our phys
teal strength increases up to certain
age, and then decreases. Tests Of
strength Of several thousands of peo-
pie have been made by means ola dyna-
mometer strength measurer), and the
following are given as the average fig
.ures for the white race:
The lifting power" Of youth of II
years Is $50 pounds; in his twentieth
year this increases to 800 pounds, and
In the thirtieth and thirty-frst years it
reaches It's height, $50 pounds. At the
end of the thirty-frst year the strength
begins to decline, very slowly at first.
By the fortieth year 1t has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at slightly increasing rate until
the fftieth year is reached, when the
figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached. 1t is not
possible to give statistics of the decline
of strength after the fftieth year, as it
varies to large degree in different in

there can't be any mistake about the
thing, for Nature never makes mis-
takes The pressure Of air under the
umbrella is the thing that holds it up,
and it can't fall
Whether Tom said this as much to
prop up his own sinking courage as to
enlighten his friend cannot be known,
for he will not be likely to tell. But
certain 1t was that he was beginning
to wish earnestly that anything might
bring mother upstairs. If it had not
been for Phil he certainly would have
given up his venture. But how could
he back out after having said so much?
lie had been standing up brayely for
Dame Nature and her laws; surely she
would do her part in standing by him.
Dear me, don't!" implored Phil, his
head getting dizzy as he took peep
down into the garden below. you'll
be sure to break your arm or some
thing. It's long ways down there"
"Pshawl" said Tom. THAT man
went down hundred feet. This isn't
morn than, say, rs feet or so. Mother,
are you down there?" he cried.
But no mothers voice answered.
"Now watch" he said. I'm going to
make for that little plot of grass"
He would still have drawn back if
he had not said so much. With des-
perate mental effort of faith in Nature
he tightly clutched his open umbrella
in both hands and sprang out upon
nothing.
But alas for Tom! Good old Dame
Nature stood ready to do her part, and
did it; but how could the maker of
that umbrella have anticipated that 1t
would ever be called upon to do duty
as a parachute? At the first strong
downward pull, crack-hap-up went
it's ribs, showing that the fully-relied-
on pressure of air had not failed.
There was helpless movement of the
feet, gasping for breath in the quick
rush of air, dreadful EARRING fall, and
then Tom lay stunned and motionless
in the midst of the pansy bed.
In great terror Phil rushed down
through the house and stood at Toms
side.
"oh, Tom, are you killed. Arc you
hurt?"
Tom looked about him with dazed
expression, then tried to get up, but
fell back with moan.
The Jar of the fall had thrown his
hip out of joint, and all he suffered and
all he thought before he was again able
to work in the garden will probably be
lifelong benefit to him.
'I am as sure as I was before,
though" he said one day to Phil, when
he came to see him, "that if that old
umbrella hadn't gone back on me 1
should have come down all right"
"Then are you going to try it again p
asked Phil

never heard that he did.-Golden DAYS

RUssIA's PLATINUM MINES.
A. Great Many of Them Have Fallen
Into the Hands OF Foreign
Syndicates.

Practically the whole of the worlds
supply of platinum comes from Rus
STA. Nearly all the important mines
have passed into the hands of foreign
ers. According to st. Petersburg
newspaper, there is group Of mines
concentrated In the Verkhotursk dis
trict of the government of Perm, num-
boring about 70, Of which 40 are be-
Ing worked. In the course of last year
several Of these passed into the hands
Of foreigners, including Paris syn
ilicate having a capital of several mil
lion francs, and five out of the exist
ing seven great platinum enterprises
in the Urals are now reported to have
been purchased by foreigners. There
is said to be really no demand in Rus
STA for the metal, and when Russians
owned the mines they exported the
ore in the rough state to be treated
in Germany and other countries. The
production of the mines in the Verk-
hotursk district amounted last year
to about six tons. This may not seem
large quantity when we consider that
platinum is the heaviest of the met
ais, excepting the still rarer metal,
iridium; but it must be borne in mind
that it can only be compared with
gold in value. The price per ton was
estimated, in connection with the pur-
chase of some of these mines by the
Paris syndicate already referred to, at
from 100000 to 100000. When it is
considered that no new veins of the
metal have been discovered in Russia
for long time, and that the present
veins will soon be exhausted, it becomes
evident that the Russians have lost
an important industry, and the only
one which enjoyed monopoly of the

and he looked about for victim.
The street car conductor smiled after

The janitor of the building was no

The Office boy was too dignifed an
individual to even attempt such thing
upon, and the man with the joke passed
him with only his customary Good

busy, but he began;
"Er-by the way-Miss Jones, what

WIFE FINDS A WAY.
Smokers Habits Are Changed With
out His Knowledge by tho
Faithful Woman.

A woman will invariably solve the
most perplexing of problems, and solve
1t. too, tactfully and well. A little
creature lives in Chicago whose hus-
band is an inveterate smoker, and when
they went TO housekeeping he FUR
nished charming little den in which
he and his cronies could smoke. Now,
a man is never quite as companiona-
BILE as when he is smoking, and his
wife soon found it out, and while he
was smoking his post-prandial cigar,
which usually heightened itself into
several, they both missed one another.
He liked to tell her between whiffs of
all the witty things he had said to the
fellow with whom he had eaten lunch,
and she liked to hear him tell them.
One day she had an idea-she fre-
quently had them-and so she rugged
up a little table in the library, lust
makeshift for the den, you know" she
said, "where you can finish your read-
ing while you smoke" The table is
just the prettiest affair. It is an ordi-
nary mahogany small table with a
linen cover, which can be frequently
Numbered, and upon it are half dozen
boxes of tobacco, silver lighting and
cutting arrangement, wax matches,
boxes of cigars and tray with several
odds and ends. A pretty pipe rack in
burnt wood decoration is placed above
the table, and it has simply come to
this: The gentleman sits down to
smoke one cigar while he finishes
story, his wife stitching meanwhile,
and he seldom leaves until it is time
to retire. And The best of it is hc has
