BOTH WERE GREEN.
Clever Scheme Worked For a
WATERMELON.

A young man about town, with
q mouth for watermelon fimham-
ed one of Vinita's dealers out af a
melon by very unique process a
day or two ago. He purchased a
fine looking melon, which proved
to be green when cut. Naturally
the purchaser had "a holler" COM
ing and was not slow to register
the same. He returned half of it
to the dealer and requested that
good one be given him, which was
done. Melon number two proved
very fine, but sufficed only to stir
up latent appetite. A desire for
more seized him-a desire
which his pocketbook could not
satisfy. At this juncture he re-
membered the remaining half of
melon number one, Picking this
up he returned to the dealer,
claimed that melon number two
was also green, asked for and re-
ceived melon number three, which
proved to be even better than
number two.

Second battalion of the Second Mis-
souri, volunteers from Albany, Ga,
where they We're yesterday mustered
out of the service, was wrecked two
miles south of this place this morning.
Four cars in which the soldiers We're
seated jumped the track and were
hurled down twenty-foot embank-
ment. The third car from the engine
was a total wreck, and, from its ap-
pearance, the escapes were miraculous.
Fourteen men We're injured.
The injured were Immediately taken
from their perilous position by their
more fortunate companions, who
worked bravely. The position of the
cars was extremely dangerous after
the first crash, as they hung over the
brink of a trestle that crossed a stream
twenty feet below. Fortunately, they
held their position, for q number Of
fatalities would have occurred had the
sleeper gone down. The physicians of
Verona and this place have worked
faithfully. dressing the wounds of the
injured, and the citizens have rendered
all assistance in their power.
The rear truck of the tender jumped
the track just as the train reached the
trestle and tore it away. The baggage
car, two day coaches and one sleeper
went off the track and down the en-
bankment. All the men who are able to
travel left here this evening and should
reach St. Louis Friday morning.

LIEVE THE VOLUNTEERS.
But General Otis Will Keep As Many
As He Reimbursement Are

How to Fight In the Jungles-

Washington, March 2.-The secretary
of war has ordered the reinforcement
of General Otis by six regiments. These
are the Sixth artillery. on the Atlantic
coast: the Sixth infantry, at San An
tonic; the Ninth infantry, at Madison
barracks; Thirteenth infantry, in New
York state; Twenty-first infantry, at
Plattsburg, N. Y, and the Sixteenth
infantry, at Fort Crook and neighbour
ing posts in the middle west.
These regiments have been ordered to
make ready to proceed to San Fran
cisco and thence to Manila.
In answer to direct questions as to
whether or not these regular troops
are intended to relieve a corresponding
number of volunteer soldiers at Manila,
1t was said at the war department that
While this probably would be the case,
it was not possible yet to make a posi-
tive statement. This means that if,
when the reinforcementS arrive at Ma
Mia, the conditions are satisfactory, the
volunteers will be brought home; but
if Otis shall have need for all of the
combined force, then they must wait.
The reinforcenlentS are made up of
troops who are not only regulars in the
full sense of the term, but who have
been through the Cuban or Porto Rican
campaigns. They know what it is to
be under fire; how to hunt Indians, and
also how to fight in tropical jungles.

FUTURE OF La SALES.
Colorado Capitalist Enthusiastic Over
Southern Utah's Resources.
Especial to The Herald)


Denver, Colo, March Wv. e.
Wheeler, banker and capitalist of Tel
luride, has just returned from a two
weeks trip through the Paradox val
ley district of Colorado and the La Sale
territory of Utah. He was accompan-
led by F. E. Horton and William Cole,
well-known prospectors. The party
went as far as Moab, Utah, and the trip
included about 500 miles of travel in
the copper belt. They did prospecting
where the snow was not too deep and
investigated the producing mines and
the most promising prospects.
Banker Wheeler believes there is a
great future for that region, but it
needs railway transportation facilities
to bring its great natural advantages
rapidly to the front. He says it is not
all copper that glitters in that isolated
section, but there are promising gold
and silver Veins, great coal measures,
lead, iron, extensive placer territory,
beautiful agricultural valleys, wide
ranges, vast water power and many
other latent natural advantages.
Wheeler visited the Red Chief and
Tngell copper mines, owned by the La
Sale Copper Mining company. I'm
proved machinery is being put in to
handle an apparently large and perma-
nent vein.
The Cuban Boy and Tammany Hall
are also shippers. Various other claims
are preparing to output the early
springs.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in adj

lively few women.
Their hard lives. their liability to Sc
rious troubles OF account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
blne to shorten the period of usefulness
and FL their later years with suffering.
Mrs Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
TO many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health IN old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
LYDIA E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound IN overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of eco
Homer St., Johustown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PlSKHAM.-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. I
had trouble with my mead, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well. had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. 1 can eat ard
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. I
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by

of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter

lier in the day by Mr.. German and Mr..
Ledge He said that il was an anOma-
lous condition that the conference on
the naval bill was in control of men
who were opposed to the senate amend
ment to reduce the price of armor plate.
He was willing and anxious to give the
administration all the support il need
ed, both fer the army and the navy.
Later Mr.. Plat Comm, inquired If
Mr.. Tillnlan believed the Krupp ar1nor
could be procured at even $445 per ton.
Mr.. Tillman replied that perhaps 1t
could not be, but he was convinced that
the extra price for krupp armor was
simply scheme to rob us out of $143
n ton He was willing to complete
every battleship now on the stocks and
pay $500 a ton for the armor, but he
wanted congress to proceed to the cree
ton of an armor factory and thus free
the country from the clutches of the
aInor trust.
Mr.. Platt Comm, said he desired
simply that the war vessels of the
United States should be covered with
the very best aIIlor made, and he
thought every other American felt as he
did. He did not believe that England,
Russia and Germany were submitting
to the exactioEs of an unconscionable
trust and it was in evidence that they
we're paying about S575 a ton for the
Krupp armor.
Mr.. Chandler IN. HI, declared, in an
swer to questions, that there was no
evidence that the Krupp arrnor was
any better than the Herveyized ar
NOR, as no investigation had been made
of armor since Secretary Herbert made
his investigation.
The Notifications bill was then passed
without division.
Mr.. Money called up the special or
der. which was eulogies on the late
Representative Love of Mississippi. He
presented resolutions and tributes We're
paid to the deceased. AT the conclu-
sion of the address the senate, at 1905
p. m, adjourned until tomorrow.

Amusing Incidents That Have Hap

At the theatre royal, Cardiff. few
nights ago, an unusual event occurred.
The concluding scene of '"The Belle of
New York" wis in full swing, when one
of the leading actors stopped in the
middle OF one of his funny songs and
addressed the audience with some
warmth.

said, las there is a man in front of me
who has been reading a newspaper the
whole evening. It's most diSgusting!"
The gentleman alluded to observed
that he had a perfect right to read and
would not be stopped. He went on with
his reading accordingly, and the per-

This occurrence recalls other unre-
hearsed incidents that have taken place
on the stage, the recital of some of
which may not be without interest.
Murray Carson was playing on one
occasion at Birmingham in "The Red
Lamp" and during the play had to use
a knife. The scene came and the mo-
ment, and in the excitement his hold
slipped, the knife spun and he could
see the glitter of the steel as it flashed
over the footlights and made straight
for q gentleman sitting in the middle
of the front row. Fortunately the or
crestra barrier stopped it, and it stuck
quivering in the rail. The gentleman in
peril was Joseph Chamberlain.
Charles Warner, on certain night,
was depicting, in his usual vigorous
style, a very pathetic part. He had
been made up with great skill and ap-
peared to be dying of starvation; he
was gasping for breath and weak from
exhaustion. On his finger he had
flashing diamond ring-a custom much
loved by the profession"
At the critical moment the actor fall
tered out in agony, with his gaze on
the gallery, Good heavens! If this
fails, what shall I do?" The answer
came from an unexpected quarter. A
wag in the gallery promptly replied,
Pawn y'r ring. Chawiiei" The house
was convulsed with laughter for some
minutes.

VALUE OF CREAM
AS Compared With Meat.

One of the most valuable items in
ones dietary is good, rich cream. The
remark is frequently made that cream
is too expensive to use freely" Some
people think they must have meat every
day at 10 and 20 cents per pound, and
do not realize that cents worth of
pure cream for breakfast will do more
to put on flesh than % or so cents worth
of meat.
An ideal portion for breakfast is that
obtained from say, four teaspoons of
Grape-Nuts and a little pure, thick
cream, either cold or hot.
This is one of the most delicious
dishes imaginable and is served with
out cooking or trouble of any kind and
cannot be equaled in point of food value
for the human body.
Made by the . STUN company at Bat
tie Creek, Micn.
The Grape-Nuts. consisting largely Of
grape sugar, have passed through pro-
cesses similar to the first act of diges-
ton and are therefore most easily di-
gested. and in combination with
cream, they render the cream itself
easy of digestion.
Grocers sell Grape-Nuts.

a drama dealing with the Irish rebel

Of the piece he was received with a
volley of metal tobacco boxes, apples
and other missiles, hurled from the

the stage manager stating that some of
the company had been injured. The
demonstration quickly subsidized and the
play concluded without further inter-

He was producing a drama requiring
the entire strength of the company.
Every one was on in the last act, in
which there was a general slaughter.
and it had been overlooked that there
was no one to ring down the act-drop.
As the manager lay dead beside his
daughter he suddenly remembered the
omission, and whispered: "Creep off.

crept toward the wings. but the audi

scene at the Gaiety one evening during
the run of Little Jack Sheppard" at
the time when poor Fred Leslie and
Miss Nellie Farren were at the height
of their fame.
Miss Farren was playing Jack, and
in one of the acts she had TO leave
the stage by a door in the center of
the back of the scene. On this particu-

wrong, and in spite of the actresses

eUNBoATs FOR DEWEY.
Light Draught Vessels Badly Needed
For Patrol Service.

Washington, March 2.-Admiral Dew
ey is again pressing on the navy de-
partment the urgent need of vessels of
light draught as means of commune
cation among the numerous small
islands OF the Philippine group. To
this end the gunboat Vixen, which fig
ured bravely for a vessel of her light
Caliber at the outset of the Cuban cam
paign, has been ordered to be imme-
diately fitted out at the Norfolk navy
yard for sailing for Manila. This will
take about a month, and it probably
will be three or four months before she
joins Dewey's fleet. Besides the Con-
cord, which is, perhaps, too large to be
classified as one of the small craft, the
only light vessels now in the Philip
pines available for running about the
waters are the Petrol and the Helena.
The Castine and the Princeton, how
ever, are now speeding in that direc-
ton, but the small craft equipment
there will still be inadequate.
The department is anxious to afford
Admiral Dewey all the assistance pos
sible. He has repeatedly called atten-
ton to the great Importance of this
work, and has emphasized the fact that
it is the light vessels, fit to skirmish
about in the shallow water and to run
in and out of harbors where the larger
ones would be useless. that he wants.
rather than the heavier types.
