| fourth round, and, being a little ex-
cited, Counted more rapidly than be-
fore. Hanson fell forward, dropping
his pistol to the ground, while his OPP
ponent stood unframed. Hanson's
right thigh had been pierced by ball.
The friends now fully appreciated
the horrible spectacle, and stood
dumbfounded for few minutes. After
an interval of suppressed excitement
Duke and his comrades recrossed to
the Kentucky shore, going to Louis
vile, thence to his fathers home.
Hanson was removed to the residence
of Maj. Blanton until moved to Lex
ington. He recovered after many
weeks of confinement, but was famed
for life. He took up the practice
of law and developed into one of the
most influential lawyers in the state.
Ten days after the duel was fought
Duke was married to the beautiful
Caroline Hickman, over whom the
duel occurred, and settled down to a
quiet life in Scott county Upon the
breaking out of the civil war Duke
JOAhSU oCh. Sldil, anu HAL
son took up the cause under the
leadership of Gen. John C. Breckin-
ridge. Hanson was promoted to the
position of acknowledgements at
Knoxville, and rapidly arose to dis
tinction in the southern cause. A
subscription was raised with which to
purchase Hanson a valuable horse, to
which Duke literally responded. A
friendship afterward arose between
the men, existing as long as Hanson
lived. He was mortally wounded in
the famous charge led by Breckin-
ridge at Stone river.
Duke lived for many years near
Danville, but moved into Danville a
few years before his death. After
the death of his first wife he married
Miss Ellie Duerson, beautiful and
talented woman of Louisville, who
preceded Duke to the grave several
years.-Nashville American.

CHEAP CURE FOR APPENDICITIS.

DR.. Hutton is the Medical Record
This paper is a protest against the
current surgical theory and practice
that all cases OF appendicitis must be
split open. This protest is based on
twenty-even years experience as ply
stefan and surgeon, including services
in three hospitals, one western fort,
five years in mining surgery, five years
in railroad surgery, twelve years in
general practice on the central west
ern plateau of Minnesota and four
years in this great city, which-unique
in the speed of its rise, unique in the
snap of its people, unique in vast tri-
butary territory and populations
decreed by the fates to be the hub of
the earth in the nearby future.
My experience is that appendicitis
and all other bellyaches for which men
now operate are promptly amenable
to proper medical treatment. l can
recall one hundred cases treated with
symptoms of this malady-or of ty-
phlitis or perityphlitis, as it was for
merly called-but / have never yet
met a case of it in which l felt it was
my duty to cut or which terminated
fatally. Influenced by the prevailing
craze to cut, time and again in coming
to new cases of this kind l have
thought: Nov, sir, your time has
come; in this case you must cut. "
But preston! simple medical treat
ment again availed. Later on l shall
cite other unimpeachable practitioners
who share my views that medical
treatment avails in this malady, one
showing forty-nine out of fifty-one
cases successfully treated-being more
than So per cent.
My treatment for appendicitis is
free calomel-and-soda purgation, sup
plemented by hot applications, to be
followed by a saline if action is too
slow.

THE MAGYARs or HUNGARY.

The Magyars of Hungary are one
idea race, and in the long run it Is
the one-idea men, like Wilberforce
and John Bright and Bismarck, who
win in politics. When her parlia-
ment and constitution were restored to
Hungary and recognized by the Aus
TRAN emperor, the Magyars set them
selves one definite object. to which they
have bent all their impetuous energy.
That object was TO rule in Hungary,
as the Germans ruled in Austria; and
in striving after it they reproduced
down to its utmost repressive detail
the political system against which they
rebelled in 1S4S The Magyars who
objected to being Germanized saw no
harm and no Inconsistency in insisting
that all the Rumanians Croatians and
Slovacks within their borders should
be Magyarized. Their work has been
made the easier for them by this, that
besides being naturally a very gifted
people, they are the only race in Hun
gary, except the Croatlans, who can
appeal to historic tradition. The
Slovacks and Rumanians have always
been more or less in a state of subjec-
ton; indeed, the Slovacks today are
little better than serfs to the Hungar-
ian mobiles. But with all these advan-
tages full credit must be done to the
undertaking persistency, saved from
relentlessness by a rare political wis
dom, with which the Magyars have
pushed their policy to a successful end.
Unable to denationalize the Croatians,
they met them halfway in their desire
for independence, granted liberal
measure of local government and ad-
mitted TO the Hungarian parliament
40 Croatian members, whose conduct
is governed by an "in-and-out" clause
like Mr.. GlGdstone's arrangement for
the Irish members at Westminster
under the home rule bill of 1898. That
Is to say they vote only on such mat
ters as are of common interest to the
whole country. Their presence has
the grand political virtue of satisfying
the Croaaan demands without in any
way impairing the ascendency of the
Magyars Politics in Hungary do not
as in England and America, sway in a
line from right to left, and the MEM
bers from Croatia do not in0, ais the
Irishmen at Westminster most GER
tainly would have found, a permanent
opposition ready to give them all they
ask as the price for their assistance in
turning out the government A Mag
var nobleman would never stoop to an
alliance with Croatians for the sake of
driving his brother Magyars out of
office.-Sydney Brooks in Harper's
Monthly.

NEST OF SKUNKS.
Saturated a Whole Community With
an Unpleasant Odor.

This village has been undergoing a
strange experience for the last two
days Houses have been closed tight
and housewives have been industri-
ously burning sugar and coffee in an
effort to clear the atmosphere. School
has been continued only by an effort
and with a greatly decreased attend
ance.
On Friday morning, while workmen
were tearing down an old barn in the
rear of the Hotel Rockwell, Fred Nit
chell, carpenter, stepped through the
timbers, his foot struck a soft object,
squeal was heard and an unmis-
taxable odor filled the air. He tried
to get away, but was too late. With a
cry of "A skunk" he went home to
change his clothes.
Frank Geraghty, who lives next to
the barn, keeps large hennery, and
for two years has been bothered with
chicken thieves. AS soon as he
heard the word skunk he grabbed a
gun, ran to the barn and shot the
animal. A crowd of school children
gathered around. Some one dis
covered another skunk and it was
quickly laid low. The wcrkmen re-
luctantly began to take up more
planks. One of them pried up a big
board and started to lift it away when
he Strengthened himself up and rubbed
his eyes. Between the crossbeams he
saw black and white mass moving
around. The place was filled with
skunks. A long stick induced the
game to appear Three heads came
up. Bang, bang, spoke the gun, and
two more victims were secured Rob-
ert Jones, who was told to let down
the plank while the gun was being
loaded, forgot to act as jailer, and
three more skunks crawled out and
made for the crowd before the others
were secured. The result was that
many spectators withdrew disabled.
Four dogs next appeared and a
rough and tumble fight ensued. Two
of the skunks were killed and the
third took refuge under a pile OF
boards. The condition of the atmos-
phere was such by this time that peo-
pie living fully a mile away took
cognizance of the battle. When the
gun was reloaded the plank was lifted
Four more animals appeared. One
was killed, but the marksman was so
excited that he missed the second
shot. Then began a second rush
among the spectators In all more
than dozen skunks were killed and
few escaped under another barn,
which will be torn down next week.
When the flooring of the latter struc-
ture is torn up many families are seri-
ously considering moving away for a
few days.

EXERCISING RUSSIAN DEVILS.
Methods of Treatment That Are Often
Employed in Carbon.

Superstition is very rife throughout
Russia aud the East. In some parts of
Russia the people believe that devils
can enter into the organism of human
beings, whose actions they thereafter
guide, and there are soreerers who pro-
fess to be able to cast out the spirits.
These men are utterly without scruple,
and the sufferlngs which they cause
their victims to undergo may be easily
imagined. The people look upon the
wizard as a powerful parsonage, VINO
can work them much evil, and there
fore not lightly to be provoked. Hence
complaints are rarely laid before the
tribunals,
A typical story OF the sort, however,
recently came before the court Of Vla1-
caucase. A Mahommedan mollah, or
priest, named Ahmed Ramasanof, was
charged with torturing peasant wo-
man named Kotcheretoya. his object
being to drive devils out of her. At
the beginning of the present year
Kotcheretova, who was only 90 fell III,
her malady being accompanied by
epileptlc fits. The villagers and her
and her husband, a man named Asian
Bek, came to the conclusion that she
was afflicted by evil spirits, and the
husband called upon the mollah Ram
asanoff to cast them out of her. The
priest came to the house and began his
treatment. First OF all they made up
big wood fire, and when there was
plenty OF hot ashes they stripped the
young woman and tied her hands and
feet. Seeing these ominous prepare
tlons, Koteheretoya began to cry out,
and begged them to desist. Cut Off
my arms, put out my eyes, do what you
like but do not burn me-" They paid
no attention to her pleadings, AMI,
picking her up, placed her en- the fire
She then became insenslble. She was
covered with burns, which the doctor
who examined her declared to be of a
very severe character. v
When brought before the court the
priest explained that the woman's
husband had sought his advice. He
counseled Aslan-Bek to force his wife
to name the spooks, and he (the priest)
would be able to restore her to health,
He had put her on the fire until she
gave the names OF the evil spirits.
which he then wrote uron a piece OF
paper and threw into the flames, after
which he was quite sure that the devils
would leave her. He added that when
she cried before being put on the hearth
It was not she that wept but the dew
lis. The inquiry showed that the wo-
msn had been kept on the hot ashes

WILHELMINA's SENTIMENTS.

GIFTS TO DEWEY.
Admirals Cabin Has Been Turned into
Regular Museum

Admiral Deweys cabin is beginning
to look like a museum or curiosity
shop. Every mail brings bulky
packages and little souvenirs from his
enthusiastic admirers at home, and
two typewriter operators are kept
busy acknowledging the receipt of
presents.
There are hats, caps, canes, medal
lions, handkerchiefs, paper-weights,
cigar holders, flags, newspaper clip
pings, and albums. and nearly every
thing else that will go by mail A
beautifully bound and Illuminated al
bum came some time ago from a
prominent club in Milwaukee, and is
treasured as one of the star feature of
the AdmiraPs collection. Each page
is decorated with an appropriate paint
ing, the subjects bearing on something
associated with the Admiral or the
battle of Manila bay On the last page
is a picture of the Olympia Jackies
hosting or breaking OUT at the
main truck of the flagship the two
starred flag of the Rear Admiral. The
final bit of text in the book expresses
the hope that some time the Admiral
may be in Milwaukee, and that he
may take breakfast there A picture
of very pretty girl is a constant or
nament of his desk. She is a Deca-
tur (Ill.) girl, and sent the letter, witch
the ingenious superscription, "Our
dear Admiral and it won the -
miral's heart. In acknowledging the
receipt of the picture he wrote a long
and very cordial letter-which is tip
to other pretty girls who have charm
ing photographs.
Another conspicuous ornament of
his cabin is painting of the battle
OF Manila bay. 1t was made by a
Chinese artist in Hong Kong, after a
drawing which appeared in Harper's
Weekly, and was presented to the
Admiral by the junior officers of the
Olympia. The artist is now work
ing night and day making more re-
productions, as two or three dozen
orders have been sent to him by of
ficers Of the feet.
Admiral Dewey's shoemaker in
Washington sent him a fine pair of
white shoes, with the modest request
that the Admiral give him the pair he
wore during the battle of May 1. The
exact identity of the shoes in question
being uncertain, the Admiral COM
promised by writing letter of thanks.
A watch, made of steel taken from the
Maine, is one interesting souvenir.
Some OF the most beautiful things
he has are presents from Agulnaldo.
The dictator has the greatest admi-
ration and respect for Dewey, and
has the singular habit of making an
elaborate gift to the Admiral when
ever the latter calls him down. 4"
That accounts largely for the number
of Aguinaldo's presents that adorn
the cabin. In all the dealings Ad-
miral Dewey has had with Aguinaldo
he has treated him with the greatest
courtesy when courtesy was call
ed for and the greatest
severity when firmness was
the thing; but in spite of the rebuffs
Aguinaldo's notes accompanying the
presents invariably refer to the Ad-
miral as my honorable and illustri-
Gus friend. "-Philadelp Inquirer

THE ELUSIVE DRAGON FLY.

The dragon fly possesses the unique
faculty among winged creatures, birds
or insects, OF flying backwards or for
wards and sideways without turning It's
body. There are very few insects that
the swallow, with It's marvellous speed
and dexterity, cannoE catch. but the
dragon fly is one of chnm. The dragon
fly without any apparent trouble, will
keep few feet ahead OF a swallow for
half an hour at stretch. and no mat

swallow has to turn it's body, while

BOOMING DICK.
Soldiers Favor. Him For APP
pointment as Brigadier.
HAVE ISSUED A CIRCULAR,

Get There,

The Eighth regiment is for Col. Dick
for one of the brigadier generalships
and for Axline for major general. That
is the way matters are shaping up.
1t is almost certain that Axline will
get the support of the Eighth and
may have little opposition for the
place AS for Dick he will have the
solid backing of the Eighth, and as
he has a political pull as well it is
quite likely that he will land the office
he wants. A special from Akron says:
In circular just issued the officers
of the Eighth regiment formally pre-
sent the name of Col Charles Dick
as a candidate for one of the briga-
dier generalships established by Adju-
tant General Axlines recent order
brigading the Ohio National guard.
Col. Dick is commanding officer of the
Eighth regiment and senior colonel of
the o. N. G. The circular calls at
tention to his seniority of rank, his long
service in the guard and his splendid
personal qualities.
The issuing of the circular was de-
termined upon yesterday at meeting
of regimental officers held in this city.
The field officers present were Lieut..
Col. Edward Vollrath, of Bucyrus;
Major G. c. Weybrecht, of Alliance,
and Major A. b. Critchfield, of Shreve.
These officers were selected as the
Eighth's representatives in the nomina-
ton convention, to be held in Columbus,
next Tuesday.

MISS GAUCHAT'S
SUDDEN DEATH.
One of the Best Known Teachers
in the Public Schools.
WAS SICK ONLY A FEW DAYS
Seemed to BE Improving Yesterday But
Suddenly Sank Back and EXPIRED
ARuptured Blood Vessel the
Immediate Cause.

Miss Mary A. Gauchat, one of the
best known lady teachers in the Can
ton public schools, died very suddenly
yesterday afternoon, at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Gauchat,
on Lippert street. The immediate cause
of her death was the rupture of a
blood vessel in her neck. Miss Gauchat
had suffered all week with an attack
of extreme nervous exhaustion, although
she was at her duties in the Seventh
grade in the West North street school
a part of Tuesday afternoon. She had
placed herself under the care of DR..
Burns, of Cleveland avenue, and yester-
day morning seemed to be remarkably
improved and expressed herself as feel
ing much better. The apparent i'm
provement continued up until moment
before her death, when suddenly and
without warning the fatal result came.
She sank back with a cry to the nurse
and expired after few breaths.
Miss Gauchat was a member Of the
class of 'S5 in the High school and
began teaching in the succeeding year
and had achieved well earned success in
her chosen profession. She was an in
defatigable worker and to her zeal and
earnestness and determination to con-
tinue in her work is partially due the ill
ness which resulted in her death.
Her parents, three sisters and three
brothers are almost prostrated by the
terrible shock and to the large circle
of friends formed during Miss Gau-
chats long connection with the schools
and in social life the news came with
crushing force.
