An Erroneous Idea.

An old fashioned idea prevails in
many families that very light supper,
such as glass Of milk and slice Of
br ad, is necessary to prevent night
mare. But later experience has proven
that most growing children require a
plentiful repast before retiring of light
nourishing food Hunger, at whatever
hour, Of the day or night it comes, is
the demand Of nature for sustenance,
and should be gratifed. No sleep is
the result Of too empty stomach in
many children, and for all such an
ample meal is necessary atsupper time.
We have known restless children, who
we're in the habit of disturbing the
household during tie night, restored to
quiet and peaceful slumber with crack
er and a drink Of milk given them on
awakening in the night. Aud the rule
of nothing TO eat between meals laid
down absolutely for all members Of her
household by some mothers is a mistake
when applied to the growing school
children who come in from school al
mos, starved to death. Their hunger
should &c satisfied in spite of theories.

Discussing the Dispensary.

The temperance society OF the First
Congregational church, Washington,
D. c., helS symposium one night this
week upon the 'dispensary system OF
treating the liquor problem. The
Post reports that among the good
points Of the dispensary system were
mentioned the overthrow Of the polltl-
cal Influence Of the saloon, the cessa-
ton Of treating, the separation from the
places where liquor is sold from lunches
and gau.es, the publicity obtained
through requiring every purchaser to
sign his name, the prohibition Of
drinking on the premises, and the fact
the dispensaries are closed on Sundays,

a Object Lesson.

According to The Macon Telegraph
Mr.. Robert Stewart is pretty level
headed and prosperous farmer, living
near Americus, Ca, and The Telegraph
says Of Mr.. Stewart, that he "clsims
that it is easy to raise $50 bushels Of
ground peas to the acre, and that 200
bushels of sweet potatoes is not uncom-
mon with him on one acre Of land.
These two crops he raises bountifully
and thus large number Of hogs are
fattened every. winter by him with
slight cost. He says the western farm
er makes money raising meat by feed
ing corn that is raised on land that cost
$50 per acre, and forty bushels per acre
is big crop, while here in Georgia $50
bushels per acre of chufas, ground peas
or potatoes can be easily made or land
worth only $40 per acre, and these last
named crops are for feeding swine.
Mr.. Stewart makes wagonloads Of
bacon every year for this market, and
his splendid example has borne fruit,
50 that a great many farmers here are
going into this lucrative business on
much larger scale now since he has
demonstrated by an experience of sew
eral years that it is the most profitable
business that can be carried on in this
section 5"

The Filiplno's Cannon.

According to Gen. Anderson, COM
manding the department of the Lakes,
the heavy losses Of the American troops
in the recent engagements with the Fill
ipinos at Los Pinas and Bakoor, south
of Manila, were caused by the artillery
which Admiral Dewey presented to
Aguinaldo last winter. The batteries
in position, Gen. Anderson says, are
being operated by Spanish prisoners
who have been released by Aguinaldo
with the understanding that they en-
list in the insurgent army. Gen. An.
derson took the first detachment OF
troops to the Philippines last fall and
was a prominent figure in the first ne
gotiations with the Filipino govern.

Indians Starving.

Owing to the big rush to the Yukon
gold field, wild animals that have not
been killed by the prospectocs, have
fed to higher ground. and in conse-
quence the Indians, deprived ct their
natural food, are starving, and in many
instances ready to massacre the whites.
Today definite story reached civillza-
ton. Caesar francesca, Salt Lake
City; Robert Hitchcock, Detroit. and a
French Canadian guide, who arrived by
the Cottage City, say that while camp
iug on the upper branch OF Stewart
River, they came into camp OF loO
Indians and were told iu trade language
by their interpreter that 30 OF them
had died of starvation during the win
ter owing to the whites driving deer
from the low lands. The men supplied
the Indians with food and camped a
short distance of. The first steamer
with news direct from Glenora and the
all Canadian route, reports that suffer.
ing on the trails has been terrible. The
Hudson Bay Trading company has
saved hundreds Of Americans from
death and starvation.

LESS C0NSTABLES.
Gov. McSweeney Cuts the Force
Down to Thirty-Four.
BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
There Were Fifty-Nine Men En-.
pIoyed. Saving 10 the State
of Twenty thousand Dol
lars e Year.

Gov. McSweeney is known as friend
Of the dispensary law. he has sup
ported it as possibly the best solution
of the liquor question. At the same
time he has had his OWN views as to the
manner of it's enforcement. He has
felt that it should be enforced as other
laws are enforced.
Since he has assumed the duties Of
governor he has been looking more
carefully into the law and the manner
of its enforcement. Particularly haz
he inquired into the constabulary fe.t-
ure of the law. He has endeavored to
ascertain the cost Of the constabulary
and to determine if it were not possible
to reduce expenses along this line.
After mature deliberation and a
thorough and careful canvass of the
whole situation from business stand
point he has decided to reduce the cor
stabulary force and Wednesday after
noon notified % Of the SO constables
that their services would be dispensed
with after the 18th.
In taking this step, it was given out
from the governors Office Wednesday
that there were no charges against the
men dropped, nor did the governor mean
it to be understood by his action that
he considered any Of the men inefficient
but carrying out his ideas Of business
he believed the law could and would be
enforced just as efficiently with "a men
as it had been with SO, and he would by
this reduction save S1,750 month in
this one matter of expense.
In this position he has the hearty
endorsement Of the State board of con-
troll The constabulary has been cost
ing the State from $50, 900 to $50, 1000 a
year. In May the constabulary cost
$4,000 in round numbers. This one re-
duction will save to the State about
$4,000 year,
The governor confidently expects and
asks that every officer in South Caro-
lima shall assist in the enforcement Of
the dispensary law just as every other
law, and he hopes that every county
officer and every municipal officer,
whether he be sheriff or mayer or mag
istrate or constable shall lend his aid
and influence to the enforcement Of the
dispensary law. If this is done it may
be possible to further reduce the force.
Not only so, he says, but he shall ex-
pect every good and law-abiding citizen
to 90 his part. He hopes there will be
no friction or trouble in the enforce
ment Of this law or any other Law
State.

Uncle Sam Buncoad.

Congressman Lester, of Savannah, IN
an interview in the Morning News, is
quoted as saying: Spain undoubtedly
sold US a gold brick" he said. we
paid $50, 600, 900 for the privilege Of
licking the Filipinos, and nov that we
have taken the job We find that 1t IS
not so much to our liking a. we thought
it would be. The Filipinos are spoken
Of as rebels now. That is the greatest
joke of the age, but very CHASTITY one.
The poor devils are being killed of like
flies, but it is like killing flies, for every
one you kill dozen will come to take
his place. OF course our mission IS to
civilize and Christianize them and We
are doing it nicely.

Luna Assassinated.

General Luna, one Of the bitterest
foes Of the Americans in the Philip
pines has been assassinated by orders Of
Aguinaldo, the Filipino leader. Luna
recently found himself in opposition to
the chiefs views and not only disobeyad
orders, but at one time stopped Agul-
naldo's peace commissioners on the way
to Manila to treat with the Americans.
Aguinaldo ordered his death and the
orders were carried out by some of his
fanatical followers. The report Of the
assassination has caused great excite
ment among the Filipinos at Manila.

ANOTHER TORNADO
Wipes Gut the Town CT Herman
Nebraska.

\ tornado struck the town of Her
man, in Was hington county, Tuesday
evening ard wiped the place out Of
existence. Herman is place Of about
800 inhabitants, in the extreme north
ern part of Washington county. 1t is
on the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Omaha railway.
The tornado wrought fearful dcstruc-
ton. 4 conductor On the evening train
from Sioux City passed through the
place 1ot long after the stolm and he
says not building is left standing in
town. He counted twelve dead bodies
lying in the streets.
The fatilities will undoubtedly run
up to hundred if not higher A
special train has left Blair, the county
seat, ten miles distant, for the scene of
the disaster, carrying surgeons and all
needed supplies. Wires are all down
north of Herman and it is not known
how much further north the storm
went, but reports are coming in to the
effect that large portion Of country
north OF Herman is laid waste. The
entire eastern portion Of Nebraska
was swept by terrific wind and cleo
trio storm Tuesday night.
The streets of Omaha are flooded and
the play Of lightning is fearful.
Additional details are dribbling IN
concerning the tornado at Herman.
Advice received by the Bee up to II
o'clock Tuesday night state that every
dwelling house in town is destroyed,
except the public school and dwell,
ing, bota OF which are on the outskirts.
The force of the wind was terrific, as
scarcely one piece Of many structures
destroyed was left intact. The scene
IN the streets of the once thriving and
beautiful little town is one of destruc
cion. Wrecked buildings and broken
furniture are strewn all around, while
dead bodies lie in many places, the
corpses badly disfgured and some Of
them hardly recognizable. The means
OF the injured mingle with the calls Of
rescuers as they pursue their humani'
tartan task in the darkness by the flick
eribg CLEANS of lanterns.
The relief train from Blair arrived
about one hour after the storm and the
work Of picking up the wounded was
oegun. Willing hands did what they
could to help the injured, and in the
course Of an hour the train pulled out
for Blair with 95 injured on board.
fhey we're taken to Blair, as thore is
absolutely no place left at Herman at
which treatment can be administered.
All the citizens of Blair have thrown
open their houses to the wounded and
the unfo:tuuatcs arc being cared for by
competent surgeons. Many Of the in
jured will de, but some Of them re-
ceived but slight icjuries. 1t is i'm
possible at this hour, owing to the con-
tasion. to ascertain t4e number Of dead,
but tselve are known to have been
killed and the list viii ruc very much
higher.
Superintendent Jaynes, of the Q naha
road, was at Tekamah when ne heard
OF the disaster and leftat once for Her

Clans along with him to assist IN sue,
