AN OHIO GROUND HOG,
Has Been Valuable as a Weather Prog.
nOSticatOr for MANY Years.

Twenty years ago Col. e. j. Bell, now
of the Santa Fe trsasurer,s Office in this
city, discovered on his place in Wash
ingtou Y. H., Ohio, the habtation of !,
ground hog. Realizing the animals
worth as weather prognosticator, Colo
mel Bell did not disturb the nest. and
every year during the time he remained
there took observations on ground hog
day." When leaving Washington c. H g..
he gave instructions that the "hog"
should continue to be treated with the
same consideration he had shown it, and
that telegram announcing the observa-
ton should be sent to him on the second
Of every February.
In accordance with this custom, Colo>
mel Bell expected telegram this after
noon. but was surprised to receive one
this morning, 1t read:
"Your old hog is lame with age and it
is doubtful about his showing up
There is a young pig we expect will
come out at noon. Will report later
whether or not he made shadow"
This afternoon this second telegram
was received by Colonel Bell: "Pig
came out at noon and stayed five min
utes without seeing his shade y"
Colonel Bell says the reports of the
ground hog proceedings at Washington,
G. H, have never yet failed in regard to
the weather.-Selma Times.

yacht tied up in the river, has disposed

great value, are just disappearing in

The countess told the West End
club women that she had provided for
$4,000 of the unfed and unsheltered
men OF Chicago since the Duen was
equipped as kitchen for the poor.
The fortune which she inherited has
been spent in the work, largely in 9TH
err cities, and to maintain her charities
here she was obliged to convert her
jewels into cash.
1.-THE last," she said, "was a pearl
necklace valued at many thousand
marks. 1t had to go that the poor
might be fed. 1t was valuable" she
said with little laugh, "but not so

MAKING A FIGHT ON JUICE,
An Interesting Beverage That Is Dis.
penSed in WaycrOSS.


A special from Waycross gys the
Waycross city council is having some
rather juicy matters to handle Just
now.
Waycross is prohibition town and
Ware county is under the same high
license law, fee of $4,000 beng re-
quired in advance before anyone. can
legally engage in the selling of intoxi-
cants.
The officials have had considerable
trouble with "bIind tigers" and cer>
tain place along the most prominent
business thoroughfare has become so
notorious that 1t is known as "Tiger
Row."
Notwithstanding the prohibition
law, the city fathers have placed Ii
cense fee of 500 upon some sort of
drink commonly known as "juIce," but
which the vendors claim is positively
not Intoxicating. 1t is true, however,
that the men who frequent these dives
often get crazy drunk and many dis
graceful fights follow. If the parties
who cause the trouble are brought mp
before the courts on charge of whiskey
selling they plead guilty to the sale of
Juice produce their license, and in
that way many times defeat Justice.
Recently there have been two or
three arrests on the charge of selling
juice without license. w. B. Holland
was fined $50, and in default of the
payment the city marshal levied on his
stock of ''juIce" He is an old confed-
crate soldier, and it is said he will en-
ter suit to to recover his "drinkable,"
and will plead exemption from paying
license under The act exempting CON
federate veterans.
Another place was closed yesterday
on account of an execution issued by
the mayor for the non payment of
1899 license and fine of $50 for violat-
ing the "julcy" law.

PROTEST FROM WOMEN.
They Oppose the Use of the Female
Figure in Advertising.

Representatives of tbs women's clubs
of Illinois met recently at Pekin and
adopted resolutions protesting against
the use of the female form in advertls-
ing. AS the resolutions are both novel
and interesting we produce them in
full below:
"Whereas, we, the mothers, wives,
daughters and sisters of free, civilized
and enlightened America, believe that
the common indiscriminate and all too
often immodest use of woman's face,
form and figure as an advertising me-
dunn not only lowers the standard of
| her wOmanhOod, both in purity and
dignity, but also degrades the high
ideal for which she was created
"ResolVed, That with the fullest
realization Of this, we do discover and
most deeply regret and deplore the
demoralizing tendency and corrupting
influence which this use exerts upon
the youth of our land.
Resolved, Theref ore, that we, the
members of the Fourteenth Congress
sional District Federation of Women's
Clubs for the state of Illinois, shall
strive through whatever ways and
means found expedient to secure legis
latlon regulating the laws restricting
this use of woman's likeness for such
purposes.
Resolved, That all publisher S, pub
licN entertainers, manufacturers and
tradesmen of any kind shall be forbid
den to use the face, form or any por-
tion of the figure of woman for adyer-
tislng purposes in either suggestive or
an immodest or immoral manner.
Resolved, That upon all manufacture
ers or dealers in liquors, beers, malts
or tobacco, in whatsoever shape pro.
,duced, these restrictions shall be made
absolute, they being debarred the use
of woman's likeness in any manner or
method whatever to introduce or laud
their wares"

THE RUSTIN, ASSASSINS.

county murder case, with the particulars
of which our readers are familiar, passsd

Mr.. w. j. Smith, who had them in

camp Of A. B. Steele, at Worth, Ca,
where the prisoners are being carried.
The prisoners remained in the city sew
eral hours. They were chalDed togeth-

Coming $50 Gold Pieces.

A Philadelphia exchange says that on
every working day the mint in that city
turs out 10000 double eagles of gold F.;
and furthef, that "there are no orders at
present for eagles or half eagles" 1t
may be necessary to state for general
information that an eagle of gold is a
coin of the value of $40, and double
eagle $40. These coins, for obvious
reasons, are not in general circulation.
Particularly is this true of the double
