M'Kinley's Barber.

There has been quite a contest over
an important position at the White
House during the last week, and a
great deal OF wire pulling and Office
seeking has been done. The Presi-
dents barber died "a few days ago and
there has been a great rush of Wash
ington BARRIERS to the White House to
secure the place of tonsorial artist to
the President. Every man who ever
shaved the President while he was in
Congress applied for the place and
brought up the alleged fact that the
President said he was the best barber
he ever had. The successful man,
however, used his influence with the
Presidents valet, and thus got his
claim directly before the President
So last Saturday 1t was announced
that one James Wilson had been ap-
pointed official barber to the White
House. and consequently the rush of
tonsorial artists to the Executive Man
sion has ceased.-Washlngton Cor.

Will Try to Bring Old Jumbo
Back.

Hartford City. Ind, Juy Sold
Jumbo" that was believed to be the
greatest gasser in the United States,
and located midway between this city
and the South Side, is to be rejuyenat-
ed. Twelve years ago. when the well
was just drilled, excursions were run
to this city, and thousands of people
came to see it. Six gigantic flames
from as many four-inch gas pipes, IL
Illuminated the heavens with brlllian-
cy that could be seen for miles, and
millions OF feet OF gas were allowed to
go to waste. About a year ago salt
water overcame the tremendous pres
sure, and the we'll was plugged. The
Hartford City Natural Gas and Oil Co,
which owns the well, believes that Il
can be restored to its former useful
ness. and with that object In view have
contracted with KolDomo man to dc
the work. He guarantees to revive the
well and his experiments will be
watched with great interest by the gas

To Prevent the Exhibition Of
Deformed Persons.

George Middleton, of the Clark
Street Dime Museum, has been arrest
ed for violation of the new freak law,
which went into effect July /. A
warrant was sworn out by A. ]. Dick
son, a collector, was served upon Mr..
Middleton yesterday morning while
was in conference with his manager
in his Office in the museum.
Barney Nelson, the armless colored
boy named in the bin as the freak in
question, drew crayon portraits yes
terday with as little concern as though
his means of earning living were not
up for final settlement.
The freak and criminal law, which
prohibits the public exhibition of de-
formed persons or those persons bear
ing criminal notoriety, is an out
growth, it is said by museum proprie-
tors, Of disagreement between Mr.
Middleton and Representative Stephen
Malato. During the anarchists trial
Nina Van Zandt gained considerable
notoriety through her engagement to
Anarchist Spies, leader of the move
ment. Portraits of both Nina and her
lover were bought and exhibited by
the Clark Street Museum. Later when
the girl married Representative Malatc
she regretted the hanging of her por-
trait and tried to have it removed
from the public gaze. The museum
people refused, knowing that the pic
ture was among the most interesting
of their collection. For many years
the battle ragged before DIT finally
found expression in the antl-freak
bill, which was aimed as the death
blow to the museum business.-Chic-
ago Chronicle.

''Y" Bridge at GAINESVILLE Has
a Break.

GAINESVILLE, o., July S.-Traffic on
the east prong OF the famous "Y'
bridge has been suspended so far as
street cars and heavy vehicles are
concerned, and 1t is the general opln-
ion Of both citizens and officials that
the days of the historic structure are
numbered. Late Friday evening the
bridge policeman noticed swag on the
south side OF the bridge near the first
abutment east OF the center pier or
crotch. The absence from the city of
the County Commissioners and Coun-
ty Engineer prompted the immediate
securing of another engineer, who, up
on investigating the matter, gave it as
his positive opinion that the bridge
was unsafe. Mayor Bielsford was
next notified and he promptly issued
orders to cease traffic on the east
prong and stationed an extra police
man on the Main street entrance to
the bridge to enforce the order. The
Eighth and Seventh ward prongs are
considered safe and traffic between
those two wards via the bridge is per-
mitted. Only foot passengers are al
lowed to pass over the Main street
prong The engineers's examination
showed that the inner and upper grid
er on the south side of the Main street
prong had broken OFF, causing the low
er girders to sway, making a very per-
ceptible dish in the floor at that point.
While the damage is not considered
serious, the concensus Of opinion is
that 1t is time for a new structure.
Such breaks as yesterdays are be-
coming too frequent, it is argued, and
it is highly probable that the Com
missioners will be urged to replace the
old structure either with new steel
or with stone arch bridge.
The "Y" bridge, the only one OF the
kind in the United States, was built
76 years ago and has been standing
advertisement for the city 1t has
been the recipient OF so many repairs
during the last 10 years that it is
though to be topheavy and seems H.
able to fall down from its own weight
at any time. A force of men with the
County Engineer are now at work
trying TO repair the break, and Com
missioner Greiner stated that It was
his opinion that the repairs would
make the bridge as safe and secure as
ever. He would not make any state.

To Print Only Such News as

Charles NJ. Sheldon, the famous au-
thor of "In His Steps, started a move
ment in Detroit today for the estab-
ilshment OF Christian daily newspa-
per- backed by s1,0O0,0O0 capital, that
shall be established, preferably in
Chicago, and which shall print no

the minds and hearts of its readers to

The Topeka author-minister asked
tor some one to come forward and
promise to furnish the capital. He ap-
pealed as father for this utopian idea
at two meetings, one this afternoon
and another tonight, and got no ans
wer. He declared that he will keep up
the search until he loses all faith in
the charity and courage OF men. On
the heels Of this he says he is an opti-
mist and believes the time is at hand

Appendicitis.

A great deal is heard now about APP
pendicitis. There is no doubt that
very many persons are badly scared
about 1t, and the number of persons
who will not eat fruit containing seeds
Is very large-this Notwithstanding
the fact that medical opinion has
agreed that not more than per cent
of the cases Of appendicitis are due to
the swallowing of seeds.
The contents of the appendix usual
ly consist of mucus. The appendix
has abundant muscular ability to
empty itself, and 1t has at its points Of
connection with the intestine good
fixed point for muscular action. But
very little swelling will so contract
the tube as TO prevent the escape of
concretions. It Is the bacteria that do
the business. They attack the affect
ed appendix, the Inflammation ex-
tends thence to the adjacent organs.
Although now apparently useless.it
is believed that the appendix once
formed an important part of the ali
mentary tract. This was the age when
we needed wisdom tooth for crush
ing palms and ferns and large alb
sorbing surface with which to extract
their scanty nutriment. The wisdom
tooth, with its insufficient Qualification
perishes easily when attacked by bac-
terra, and the appendix shows the same
want of resisting power. The verm-
form appendix was recognized In the
sixteenth century. AS compared with
the size OF the Intestine 1t is largest
at birth and smallest after 20 years of
age. 1t is of variable dimensions for
the reason that it is one of the struc-
lures which, in the descent of man,
"flutters before going out" The aver
age length in young adult is not far
from three and a quarter inches.

London Real Estate.

London property has trebeled In val
ue in the past forty years, and In the
heart OF the city, land commands al
mos, fabulous values. A London cor
respondent OF the New York CONNER
cial cites the fact that $500 square
foot is no uncommon price, and that
small parcels of land have recently
been sold at the rate of $12,5O0.0OO an
acre. Along Lombard street, the Wall
street OF the city, land is worth at least
O,OOO, 900 per acre, while 5000 square
foot was paid for every lot between
hing William Statue and Trinity
Square
The highest price ever asked for
land in L,odnon was at the rate of $685.
100000 per acre. The golden spot was
at Bermondsey, where few years ago
small piece OF property was offered
to the Southeastern Railway company
for S6,000,000. The railroad company
very considerably declined to buy. In
Cannon street in 1880, 600 square feet
of land was sold for building sites for
$22 500, which amounts to $3.50 a
square foot, or nearly $1,500,O00 an
acre. In the same year building sites
in Grace Church street realized S95 a
square foot, or $4,0OO,OO0 an acre. In
1886 these prices increased by leaps
and bounds in the same street, 1,2S5
square feet of ground being sold for
$1S5, 900, or not far short of $1,000, 900
an acre.
Going westward land becomes some
what cheaper, but still sufficiently
high to make 1t no exaggeration to
say that metaphorically speaking
Londoners walk on gold. For in
stance, one could buy an acre in Pail
Mall for two and half million dollars
but if ground was required in st.
James Square or St. James street,
something like four million dollars
would be required for like quantity.
The value Of the houses within the
borders of London Is estimated at
81 $50, ,000, 900 and the land on which
they are built is valued at $4,000, ,000,-
900. Upon the latter sum the land
lords receive about S125,000000 an
nually in the way OF rentals. Three
years ago the Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land was letting his land on the
Cadogan estate in Chedsa at $3.50, 900
an acre on building leases, with an an
nual ground rent of about fifty cents a
foot. Three acres OF his property near
Sloan street was sold for SO years for
1915 1000.
Five acres of land at Claring Cross,
which was leased for grazing purposes
$50 years ago, at $3.50 an acre for 500
years, are now worth about Ave dol
lars foot. They are owned by the
Marquis of Salisbury. The owners Of
London include all sorts and condi-
tions of men and women-from dukes
to shareholders in building societies
and owners of single tenements. These
small owners number about 100000.
But the great bulk of the rental of the
metropolis belongs to comparatively
few people. The principal ground
landlords of London are the Duke Of
Westminster, the Duke of Bedford,
Lord Portman, Lord Cadogan, the
Marquis of Northampton, the Marquis
of Camden, the Duke of Norfolk, Lord
Southampton and Captain Penton.-

With Napoleonic enterprise entirely

male and female riders OF the United

the alternative of emitting this inn
portant part or an arenic exhibition or
| of accepting performers of mediocre
ability. but they have also secured
every notable equestrian that the cir
cuses of Europe have brought into
prominence during the past two or
three years. Michael and John Rooney,
who head the list of champion male
riders. belong to the younger genera
ton, but they are already the greatest
bareback equestrians in the world AS
ISOLATED with them are Edward Shipp.

Leon and not least, Albert Crandall,
whose burlesque riding act upon the
back Of mule Is one of the cleverest
and most laughable performances ever

graceful and sprightly performances
This dashing equestrienne Is ably sec
onded by Julia Lowande Olga Reed,
| Lizzie Rooney, Nellie Fields. the
beautiful sultana, and nearly dozen
other lady riders, each of whom is an
artist of international reputation. In
connection with this notable array OF
riders Ringing Bros. offer the most
complete concourse of high class aero
| batic, aerial, gymnic and other arenic
| specialists ever presented by any cir
Gus in America. Circus day, which
Icomes to Marshalltown Tuesday Aug.
l29, will be an occasion to be long re-
membered. The two performances to
BIZ given here will be preceded by
| magnificent free street parade, pre-

| Bros. have won their world wide fame
as circus magnates by their original

of expense when the pleasure and en-
Itertainment of their patrons is in ques-

play is striking illustration Of what
