general, Of barricading them, so that no
spawning fish can ascend them The
origin of this practice dates back to a
period prior 10 the acquisition of Alaska
by the United States. The Russians built
"zapors" or dams with stone piers across
the streams near the settlements, from
which they drew their salmon supply.

COUNTING OURSELVES.
Great Industrial Development of Middle

same may be said. The development OIL

The Light in the Window.

From the AtChson Daily Globe.
Some one once wrote a sentimental song
about the light in the window for me-"
and ever since that time the Eight in the
window has figured in poetry and song
to a greater extent and in a more senti-
mental manner than it is entitled to. The
cold TRUTH is that when there is Il light
in the window it means some one is sit
ting up. to give the last one to come home
scolding or advice about the good sense
of going to bed earlier A light in the
window is something that nagged per-
son fails to see, and when his eyes first
see it in turning a corner he gets a cold
chill and longs for a home in a boarding
house. The Eight in-the- window" senti-
ment is badly overdone.

TOLD A STRANGE STORY
He Wanted His Marriage License
Cancelled.
HAD CHANGED HIS MIND
Sullivan in Order That His
Brother Could Pay What
He Owed Her.

A most unusual request, behind which
| there is rather remarkable story, was
made of the clerk Of the district court
yesterday by a young man named
James j. Sullivan who on the 10th of
the present month took out a license to
marry Mrs. Mary Tallman. He came
back yesterday and told the clerk that
he didn't want to use the license and he
wanted all record Of it to be destroyed.
| IT may want. to marry some Ather
! woman - he said, and don't want this
license to stand against me-
Sullivan didn't have the license with
| him, and he was told to bring it back
| and the clerk would see what could be
| done about canceling it. When the Ii
cense was taken out Sullivan was ac
| companied by the woman whom he
| thought he intended to marry Mrs.
| Tallman is a woman of at least 40 years
| of age and speaks English brokenly
| The marriage license says, however,
her age is only 80, that she is widow
and a native of Finland. Sullivan,s age
| is given as 90 He offered no explana
| ton yesterday as to Why he wanted the
| license cancelled, and only said he
| wanted it destroyed or the name of
| Mrs. Tallman erased so that he could
substitute some other name.
Mrs Tallman was seen at her home
| at 81 East Quartz last evening, and the
story she told about the affair simply
made it appear more strange and pecu-
| liar She said she was as anxious to
| have the license cancelled as Sullivan
| was, as it had never been her intention
| to marry him.
You see" she said. "he has a brother
named Billy O'Neill and another brother

VlNDICATiON OF SUGAR,
Athletes Recognize Its Value as No,
iSnment

LAihiSiSs lNeSoSilIe Its value as NOuF-
ishment.
German scientist, who prefers to be
anonymous, publishes in the Allgemeine
Zeitung an enthusiastic glorification of
sugar. He says that sugar is not only
most welcome to the palate, but that,
on account of its power to nourish, it
is almost the most valuable thing which
one can eat. There is scarcely any
other equally important feeder of mus
Gle power The labCrer can do nothing
better than keep a few Jumps of sugar
in his pocket. The negroes in sugar
plantations renew and quicken their
weary bodies by sucking the sugar
cane. Sugar is fine restorative for SOL
diers. A Dutch army surgeon asserts
that during IN expedition in Sumatra
he found that the best means to main
tain the soldiers in vigor and freshness,
not only during the march but during
the fight was a generous allowance of
sugar. Each man was served with a
hunters bear similar testimony to it's
marvellous powers of sustenance and of
recuperation of the fatigue.
The German writer gives an account
of successful experiments with sugar
as a food for athletes by several eques-
TRANS, by cyclists and others whose
bodily powers need "a rapid. porta Bile
and innocent stimulant." Sugar is COM
ing more and more into use in Holland
in the course of training" for contests.
and it is as good for beasts as, it is for
men. The poor hardly realize as yet
or only realize unconsciously, what a
treasure they possess in cheap sugar
It's value in fever has been emphasized
by Hupeland and others. That which
is supposed to injure the teeth in the
consumption of candy is not the sugar,
but the sO-called fruit acids which are
introduced to flavor the sugar. Negroes,
who devour sugar in immense quanti-
ties, have the best teeth in the world
