WILD BEES SWARM.
Immense Drove Heads For the
Swanps Ignoring Hospitable
Farmers.

Dwight, ILL.,, April PA drove of
wild bees flew over this place on a
straight line toward the swamps twelve
miles to the west this morning. They
were flying about 200 feet from the
ground and it is estimated that there
were several hundred thousand of them.
There are no apiaries in this vicinity
and it is believed that the bees have
been driven from the Kankakee' river
swamps by fire.
John P. Simmons, who lives at
Streator, found a bee tree in December
last which netted him $3.50. 1t is thought
that the herd seen this morning was a
part Of the workers he found in the
Kankakee swamps.
The farmers for miles around this
morning beat upon tin kettles and rang
bells in an attempt to get the bees to
settle, but they passed on. 1t is the
first drove of wild bees that has been
seen in this vicinity since the civil war.

The most common ailment among
civilized people of today is headache.
The reason for this is that nowadays
people use their brains more than they
formerly did, and are also more subject
to nervous troubles, which are the di-
rect cause of headache. Too much
brain work takes needed nerve force
from the heart and stomach to the
head, thus retarding the circulation and
deranging the digestion. The body is
not fed-the nerves rebel. Sleep be-
comes a stranger. Loss Of appetite is
followed by tired body and a tortured
brain. You need rest. You know it,
but-you haven't time. DR.. Miles Ner-
vine will give you the rest you need.
1t is for the man or woman whose di-
gestion needs help, whose brain is over
worked and whose vitality is impaired.
1t gives recuperative capacity to the
organic functions of the system and is
a speedy remedy for nervous troubles of
every description.
Permit me to add my testimony to
the thousands who have already sound
ed praise for DR.. Miles NerVine. For
twenty years 1 suffered intensely from
nervous headaches, from which could
get no relief. 1 was frequently COM
severity. One day on my way home
from the office, 1 procured a bottle of
DR.. Miles Nervine, and began using it.

AWREATH FOR THOMAS.
Former Confederate Approves His
Crisp Criticism of "Dixie-"

Atlanta, April 24.-.Theodore Thomas has
been crowned with laurel by a Confederat tie
veteran for declaring there is no music
in Dixie and declining to play the piece.
Upon the arrival of the Thomas orches-
ira in Atlanta Mr.. Thomas was asked by
q newspaper man If he would play any
popular music. He replied:
I'VE couldn't play Dixie If we tried.
We play orchestra music only. Our train
ing has all been to playing artistic or
chestrai music
This aiIusion to Dixie" dear to all
southern hearts. was purely voluntary on
the part of Mr.. Thomas, and was not gen
orally welcome here, hence the surprise
was the greater when Captain Joseph
Burke prominent Confederate veteran,
handed to Mr.. Thomas wreath of south
ern laurel, saying:
Some uncultured persons have thought
there was music in Dixie The musicians
of Atlanta have all along known better.
and they wish to thank you for aiding
them in enlightening the general public.
Take this bit of laurel and wear it a
testimonial of your noble efforts to show
the masses what true music is.
The presentation of the wreath was
loudly applauded. the entire audience
seemed to be impressed with the splendid
work of the orchestra.

Before the first bottle was gone my
headaches disappeared, and have not

lieve I have been permanently cured

Editor Independent,

For ten years I had periodical at
tacks of headache and neuralgia in
very severe form-sO severe in fact that
it was almost unbearabl During that
time consulted several physicians and
cures none of which seemed to give me
more than temporary relief. A friend of
mine, a druggist, persuaded me to give
DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine trial.
L did so and after a few months use
1 was completely cured. Although sew
eral years have passed since I have used
the last bottle of the remedy, / have
never had return of those terrible at

women of high birth have entered bus
aness during the last ten years, but
there is a general impression the only
thing the women have tried is dress
making, and that the men have all
gone on the Stock Exchange" as the
following list proves:
Mrs. Wellesley, a relative by mar
riage of the duke of Wellington, has
for years kept a flower shop in Low er
GroSVenor place.
Lord Hampden conducted a milk es-
tabIishment at Glynde, known as THE
Creameries." Both these did much bus
mess in London.

nephew of Lord Dormer. has gone into

Lord Rayleigh has a large dairy and
egg store in Bloomsbury. The marquis
of Londonderry name is on many coal
carts. The earl of Harrington has iden-
titled himself with the fruit and vege-
table trade. His shop at Charing Cross

SUES FOR HER TRUNKS.
Wife of Hungarian NobIeman Re-

sion of Her Property.

New York, April 24.-Baron Attoka-
ron Won Rosenbaum Reinsberg, for
merly of Hungary but now decorative
artist at 315 Willis avenue, was de-
PENDANT in a summons case brought
against him by his wife in the Nor
Tisania court today.
The second day after the marriage,
the baroness alleges, her husband in
duced her to give him the 600 marks
1$120) her father had given her as a
wedding present. With the money he
bought clothing and jeweIry. The bar
-oness said she demonstrated with the
baron, and he calmly asked her to
write to her father for more money.
She and her husband quarreled and
she left him. She demanded her three
trunks, but her husband refused to al
low her to have them.
Magistrate Wentworth said a wife
had a right to leave her husband when
ever she chose. His remedy was a di-
vorce, and the trunks belonged to her
and should be given to her.

ASTORIA HELP IN STOCKS.
A Clerk Has Made Sic, 1000, the Head
Waiter $4,000 and All the
BeIlbovs Are Ahead.

New York April 24.-All of the help at
the Waldorf-Astoria, from the bellboys to
the chief clerks and including the women,
have for the last month and a half been
the victims of a speculative fever. 1t
started when-a guest gave to one of the
walters a tip on an unlisted stock. He
bought some on margin in the Waldorf
Astoria office of a well known Wall street
most everybody in the place has been
specializing with almost uniform success.
James Scott. one of the clerks, resigned
last night, saying that he had made over
$15 600 in the last six weeks. James Hicks.
the head waiter, is ST., 600 ahead, and so
is Max Cohen. one of the captains of the
walters Several others have made sums
over s., 900, and even the bellboys now scorn
a moderate tip.
The hotel people are worried about the
matter. They want to issue orders to stop
all specializing. but hesitate to do SO as
long as the speculation is proving profit
abel to the servants.

LOWER SAILORS WAGES.
New York Ship Owners Reduce Pay
For Seamen From $50 to $1S
Per Month.

New York, April 24.-Several ship
owners in South street have combined
to reduce the wages of seamen. Here
tofore the market rate has been $50 a
month for deep sea sailors, and an at
tempt is being made to reduce the
wages to $1S a month. The boarding
house keepers are backing the sailors
in their fight and are prepared to board
sailors on credit rather than let them
go to sea at the reduced rate.
The American clipper ship Josephus,
Capt. Gillxey, is the first to obtain a
crew at the reduced rate. The men
were taken aboard under a guard of
three policemen. The crew consists of
twelve colored men, who are said to
have been picked up in Thompson
street, and few of them, if any of them,
it is alleged. have ever been to sea.
A committee of seamen went to the
chamber of commerce to protest against
the shipping of the men, who, they
claimed, were inexperienced. They were
told that the vessel had cleared and
that it was too late to interfere.
