Milk From Individual Cows.

Twenty years ago milkmen were
greatly bothered by customers who de-
manded the milk from one cow regu-
larly. They thought this insured a
more uniform sample Of milk. That
idea is now pretty well exploded.
Herd milk, or the milk Of all the COWS
thoroughly mixed, is safer and more
uniform in the long run than the milk
of any single cow.-Rural New Yorker.

Drink Grain-O

after you have concluded that you ought
not to drink coffee It is not medicine
but doctors order it, because it is health
full, invigorating and appetizing. 1t is
made from pure grains and has that rich

grades of coffee and costs about d as
much. Children thrive on it because it
is a genuine food drink containing moth

An English merchant was invited by
a Chinaman to dine with him. Neither
could speak the others language, and
a conversation was carried On by

Among the dishes was one which seem
ed very savory. The Englishman had
an idea it was duck, but to make GER

said: ''No-ey, no-ey! Bow-wow-wow!'

Strikers Sentenced for Contempt.

Fort Smith, Ark, July 24.-In the
contempt cases which have been on
trial before the federal court for the
past two weeks Judge Rogers Satur-
day passed sentence on striking miners
for violating the injunction of the
court restraining the strikers from in
terfering with the operation of the
coal mines and from intimidating men
at work in the mines. Eight men were
given terms ranging from six to ten
months. In the opinion Of the court
the claim that injunction proceedings
are new in such cases is as stupid as
it is false.

Has President Kruger Resigned?

Cape Town, July 25.-Advices have
been received here confirming the re-
port that President Kruger, of the
Transvaal, has resigned.
Paris, July 25.-Dispatches received
here from Pretoria, South African re-
public, say that the absence of Presi-
dent Kruger from the meeting of the
executive council yesterday gave cur
rency to a report that he had resigned.
President Kruger, when seen last night
in regard to the matter, denied this ru-
NOR, stating positively that it was
without foundation.

ALBEMARLE STREET.
Letter From Mr.. Chaplin Brown
Conner Too J.afe

Letter From Mr.. Chaplin Brown
Comes Too Late.
Mr.. Chaplin Brown, attorney for the
owners of land in the line Of Albemarle
street, Tenleytown, some days ago request
ed the District Commissioners to include in
their estimates for the coming fiscal year
an amount necessary to cover the expenses
of acquiring the land and premises in
the line of said street not heretofore ac-
quired. In making his request, Mr.. Brown
explained that the owners of this land
have twice been called upon to defend con-
demnation proceedings before two separate
juries. The Commissioners have heretofore
refused to take the land at the several
amounts awarded by the two juries. while
the property owners. said, Mr.. Brown. have
considered the amounts as too low, but
have heretofore agreed to take the last
amount awarded, rather than have the
matter longer remain unsettled.
The land that is sought to be acquired,
further explained Mr.. Brown, is in the bed
of the road, and for this reason the prop
erty owners are unable to dispose of their
property, it being well known, he contend
ed. that their land will in the near future
have to be taken by the District as a part
of Albemare street. He therefore request
ed the Commissioners to ask an appropria-
ton by Congress of an amount equal to
the sum last awarded. with interest. with
provision in the appropriation bin for
further condemnation proceedings in the
event the Commissioners should deem such
proceedings advisable and, in such case,
an additional item of appropriation to COW
er the cost of said proposed further con-
domination proceedings.
Unfortunately, however, the Commission
ers had completed their estimates and for
warded them to the Secretary of the Treas
ury prior to the receipt of his request, and
they have so written Mr.. Brown.

The Inquisitive Tongue.
From the Boston Evening Transcript.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
The curiosity of the tongue does not cause
the human being so much trouble as the
curiosity Of the eye. But the tongue with
in its limits. is the most curious of all.
Let the dentist make a change in the
mouth: let him remove a TOOTH or replace
with his admirable artifice one that has
long been absent; let him change the form
Of tooth by rounding off a corner or
building up a cavity. and see what the
tongue will do! 1t will search out that
place. taking careful and minute account
OF the change. Then it will linger near the
place. If 1t is called to other duties it
comes back as soon as they are discharged
and feels the changed place all over again
as II 1t had not explored and rummaged
there already.
1t makes no difference that these repeated
investigations presently cause annoyance
to It's supposed master, the man: the
tongue in nothing more than in this matter
proves that 1t is an unruly member and
will not be controlled.
1t seems to have an original will and con-
seriousness of its own. and nothing will
serve it except the fullest satisfa elton OF its
curiosity. It will wear itself out. perhaps.
but 1t will find out all about the strange

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Buggy Hired and Paid for Found
Minus OccuDaut

Buggy Hired and Paid for Found
Minus Occupant.
The horse and buggy that was hired at
Wills livery stable on New Jersey avenue,
Saturday morning. and was not returned.
as published in yesterdays Star. was found
abandoned In the Soldiers Home grounds
last night. What has become of the young
man who hired 1t the police are anxious to
know. The condition of the buggy and the
surroundings gave 1.-The impression that the
man who had abandoned the buggy may
have jumped into the lake 1t was shortly
after dark when the wife of the gatekeeper
at the Whitney avenue entrance to the
grounds found the horse and buggy. The
animal was eating grass about the edge of
the lake. and was picked up for fear of
doing some damage about the grounds It
was believed that claimant would appear,
and the horse was kept at the gate some
time before it was sent to of the
stables.
The Team Identified.
The police were notified and Detective
Muller went out with Mr.. Wills, and the
latter identified the horse as his property.
He had hired it to well-dressed young
man Saturday morning. The man gave the
street. He appeared to have considerable
money on him, and as he paid his bill in
advance there was no reason to suspect
anything wrong about him.
In the buggy there was part of can
of salmon some pieces of bread and a
piece of canteloupe, while in a can on the
ground near where the horse was found
was candle that had been lighted. This
gave the impression that the man had
probably been living in the woods since
Saturday. The animal was in good condt
ton and showed no signs of having been
overdriven.
The lake and grounds were thoroughly
searched today, but no body was found.
The same horse and buggy were, 1t is said.
seen in the grounds Sunday last.

singular disease, resembling small
pox, is pulling the Board of Health
and the doctors of Springfield.
For some time the epidemic WAS
called chicken pox, and some of the
physicians still insist that it i only
a malignant form of that disease.
A majority of the doctors of the
city have come to the conclusion
that the sickness is smallpox Sew
eral prisoners in the county Jail had
the disease, and the county physician
reported to the penitentiary offic ais
that it was chicken pox The peni-
Tertiary authorities refused TO re
ceiVe prisoners from the Jail on this
account. The Jail has been quarau-
tined, and some new prisoners have
been sent to the county poor house
for safe keeping. The School Board
has ordered that all children shall
be vaccinatei or sent home by the
teachers. The doctors are all busy
vaccinating the children. While
Mayor Hall does not believe that
the disease is smallpox, he has or
dered that all cases be reported and
quarantined No one has died, and
but slight sickness attends tie

say that the armies of the late war
