KISSING BUG CLUB
The Young Women Of La Sale, Ill.
Organize to Capture Insect
Specimens.

A kissing bug club is the latest social
organization of La Sale, ILL.,, being
formed exclusively by young women,
and with the object of acquiring one
specimen for each member. In nearly
every store window is glass jar with
. prisoner supposed to be milanoles-
tes picipss, and the young women may
every afternoon be seen in front of the
business places studying the different
species. The woods and meadows are
secured by other members for the COW
eted insects.
The young women are not alone in
their interest, however, for the more
staid and serious citizens have become
alarmed at the reported advent of a
flock of kissing bugs" into the vicin-
ity. Three persons have been bitten in
La Sale, and though the doctors scott
every residence in the town is closed
alright every night and all night. Miss
Tillie johnson, who was the first suf-
ferer TO appear on the streets with
swollen lips, declares that she has never
experienced such pain in all her As
years as accompanied the sting of the
kissing bug. She wants revenge, and
made application for membership in
the Kissing Bug club, but was denied
on account of her age.

A VALUABLE ADDITION.
Hudson Collection of Indian
Basket Work.

The national museum, through the
bureau of ethnology, has just received
from California the entire Hudson col
lection of Indian basket work. This is
the finest collection in existence. The
museum collection now is not only the
finest in the world, but one which never
can be duplicated, as basket-making Is
already dying art among the Indians
The Hudson collection numbers about
$50 pieces, at least half Of which would
be worth from $1OO to $3.50 each in the
market. It was made by DR.. ]. w. Hud-
son during about 25 years intimate as
sociation with the Pomo and other Pa
cific coast tribes. Many Of the speci-
mems are sacrifcial baskets which re-
quire from one to three years to make
and are seldom secured by collectors,
being burned on the death Of their
owners.
The British museum has been after
this collection, but. failed to secure it,

LIFE.SAV1NG OUTFIT.
Decided by Commissioner Peck to
Send One to the Paris Expo
sifion.

It hasrbeep decided by Commissioner
Peck to send fine life-saving outfit to
the Paris exposition. 1t will be one of
the most complete ever gotten .togeth-
er, and the visitors to the exposition
will be given an opportunity to see how
the apparatus works. This move has
been contemplated for some time by
the commissioner. 49,
Commissioner Peck wants Perry and
Thorn, members of the 1ife-saving serv-
ice stationed at Evanston, ILL.,, to be
sent to Paris to put the exhibit in
shape. While there is no doubt the ex-
hlbit will be sent, as the proposition is
favored by Secretary Gage, there is a
question as to who will defray the ex-
penses. The commission has offered to
pay the expenses of the two men who
will be sent If the government win pay
their salaries during their stay in
Paris.
This is a question which will have to
be decided by the comptroller of the
treasury, and it has been submitted to
him for an opinion. This will be rem
dered within day or two, when prepa-
rations will be made for putting the ex-
hibit in shape.

LION REFUSES TO FIGHT.
Promised Battle at Roubaix, France,
with . Bull Turns Out Com
p1ete FiascO.

The fight between q lion and a bull
announced to take place at Roubaix,
France, proved complete fasco ex-
cept so far as receipts were concerned.
A cage 1s meters in diameter had been
prepared for the fight between the lion
Goliath and the Spanish bull venaito.
But the lion would not fight.
Two cages were brought up. The
door was opened, and Goliath, with q
terrible roar, stalked majestically into
the ring. A moment later he cowed
down, scared by the shouts of the
crowd. The bull dashed into the huge
cage, and halted as he saw the lion,
which however, did not perceive him
at first. Goliath scratched the ground,
shifted. then bolted, pursued by the
bull, which gored him savagely. He
roared, but would not fight.
The spectators began to hiss. Men
tried to irritate the bull, and urged him
toward the lion, which at last was
forced to resist. For a few seconds
there was desperate struggle, in
which one of the bulls ears was torn
off, but the lion had distinctly the
worst of it. Finally he refused to face
his opponent. Again the spectators
Kissed and hooted and clamored for
the death Of Goliath, but his conoueror
instead was sacrificed to their lust for
blood. The bull was cleverly killed by
the toreador, Villetta.

William Steel, the banker who died
recently in San Rafael, CAL. leaving an
estate of 100000, often expressed an
aversion to ministers, and his will just
filed for probate proves that he meant
just what he said. The closing para

THE FOREIGN CROPS.
Russia's Shortage of Wheat May
Reach 12o, 900, 900 Bushels.
Rye Crop Also Very shOrt-French
Estimate Places wheat Crops OF
Spain and Italy at 34,OOO,-
900 Bushels short.

The agricultural departments for
eign crop report for July states that the
commercial authorities estimate the
shortage in the Russian crop of wheat
at from 100000 to 120,00O,00O bushels,
as compared with last year. The de-
flciency is most serious in the regions
most favorably situated for export. In
the north unseasonably cold weather
has unfavorably affected all the crops
of hay, potatoes and all grains except
oats. The rye crop, an important one,
is very short.
The Prussian official report on wheat
is a little above "fair," 23 being the
technical designation.
The American outlook for wheat and
rye is good in all but one province, that
Of Bukowina. Austria, Roumania and
Bulgaria are all slightly below the av-
erage in wheat, rice and maize. A
French estimate of the wheat crops of
Spain and Italy puts it at 34,oOO,ooo
bushels below last year, the shortage
being somewhat the heavier in Spain.
The wheat crop in France is repre-
sented as satisfactory, but the op-
timistic estimates made earlier in the
season have been scaled down by later
crop damage, the estimate now being
352, 100000 bushels.
In Great Britain cable reports of a
severe general storm presage consider
able damage to q grain crop that 9th
erwise would have ranked fair.
Hay is very much below the average.
The report from India shows better
conditions in Bengal and the northwest
provinces than for several years pre-
vious, but this improvement does not
extend to the Punjab.

STONE DOCK NEEDED.
Effort to he Made to Have Damaged
Dry Dock at Brooklyn Repaired
with Stone and Concrete.

A special from Washington to the
New York Herald says: Convinced even
more than before of the necessity of
stone dock at the Brooklyn navy
yard by the accident to timber dry
dock No. 2, Admiral Endicott, chief of
the bureau of yards and docks, will rec
ommend in his annual report the con-
struction of such structure. He will
take prompt action to put the dry dock
in good condition again. He proposes
to rebuild the entrance with stone and
concrete. When additional money is OBJ
tanned the body of the dock will be
similarly repaired. BY this means the
government will secure stone and con-
crete dock which will accommodate ves-
sells as large as the Texas. Admiral En-
dicott will make personal inspection
of the dock. From the newspaper re-
ports he judges that at least ten
months time will be necessary to make
repairs.

PAINTED THE CZAR.
Miss Kussner, the Miniature Artist,
Has Interesting Experiences,
Young American Woman Of Talent
Who Sees Inner Life of Royal
Family Of Russia-It In
Very Simple.

Miss Kussner, the young American
who has achieved high reputation in
Europe and America as miniature
painter, recently returned to London
from Russia, where she had most inter-
esting experiences. She went to St..
Petersburg to paint miniature Of
Grand Duchess Vladimir, and had only
foeen there a few days when she was
summoned to the winter palace to paint
q likeness of the czarina. Before she
had finished, the car ordered minia-
ture of himself. Miss Kussner speaks
with mucb enthusiasw Of the kindness
and consideration with which she was
treated by the imperial circle and the
simple indebtedness of their life. Her
first sittings were at the winter palace
at st. Petersburg and the last at the
summer villa at Zarskoe-Selo. While
the palaces bristled with soldiers and
police, both the emperor and empress
almost daily drove out unattended even
by footman. Both of their majesties
are immensely popular with the peo-
pie. The czar gave Miss Kussner eight
or nine sittings of several hours each
and talked most freely with her. He
is great admirer of America and
Americans, who, he told Miss Kussner,
he admired for their intelligence and
independence.
"You do not bother about what other
nations think" he said.
1t will interest American editors to
know that everything affecting Russia
or the czar's family appearing in the
prominent American newspapers finds
its way to the czar's desk and is read
by him. His familiarity with American
affairs and Americana of note is re-
markable.
The czar spoke warmly Of Admiral
Dewey, discussing his career with great
interest and saying: "His victory at
Manila was splendid achievement"
The car is not so enthusiastic con-
cerning our land operations in the
Philippines. He seemed to think we
had our hands full there.
Miss Kussner is contemplating tour
around the world, but returns to Rus
sia for several months next winter.

Miss Cordelia Moore, of Malone.
N. Y, until recently, has been a
lifelong invalid from palpitation
of the heart and weakness of the
blood.
Physicians were puzzled over
her case, their most skillful efforts
were baffled. Various remedies
were tried without avail. The pro-
verbal "change of climate" was
advised, but the constant change
wore upon her until, to quote her
mothers words, "she became q
living ghost" Miss Moore said:

box was used I noticed great
change. began to regain my
appetite and felt better generally.
After finishing the first box I took

life than do now. Iweigh more

myself cured"
