Says the truthful Merrill Visitor
"Joseph Lalonde made discovery a
few days ago that was something sur
prislng. Late ast'fal he was picking
up and burning some log heaps and
brush on the back part of hls farm in
the south part of this town. A few
days ago he was chunking up his heaps
and found that he had burned up "a
large bear, finding the head, bones and
parts of the skin of poor Bruin. The
fire and smoke had evidently overcome
the poor animal before he could make
his presence known. Joe says, if Bruin
had said a single word. he would have
given him oil the assistance in his
power"

\ prominent scientist says milk is
unfit for table use until after it has
been boiled. Sir Richard Thorue's
second Harden lecture on .Tuberculo-
sis practically resolved itself into a
condemnation OF uncooked milk, and
an appeal TO doctors 10 use their great
influence in inducing the public to boil
milk. We are, it seems, the only CIV
ilized nation IN the world habitualy
consuming uncooked milk aud that in
face of the great prevalence of tuber-
cuiosis among our mich COWS. TO IL
lustrate this statement, the lecturer de-
clared that the removal of every tuber-
culosiS COW from our diaries and cow
sheds would mean at the lowest esti-
mate the withdrawal Of over half a
million cows from our milk supply
This is regarded as a counsel of unnec-
essary perfection, but advocated the
immediate seizure of all cows with
suspicious udder diseases, compensa-
ton to be paid out of the public funds.
Two interesting points made by the
lecturer remain to be noted, first, that
the artificial conditions under which
milk is now produced in cowhouses
are precisely those which tend most
to induce tuberculosis in
COWS. and. second, that owing to the
better supervision Of town cowhouses
tubercle bacili were found in far
greater numbers in the country than
in the town milk supplied to Liverpool
and Manchester.

Anna Gould's Purchase Writes a Letter to the Prince of Monaco,
 Friend of Dreyfus.

Paris, July 5.-Comte Boni de Cas- tcllane. who married Miss Anna Gould, has addressed . communication to the Prince of Monaco, sharply criticising the prince for his recent letter to Mime. Dreyfus, inviting her and her husband to sojourn at his chauteau after the prisoners acquittal, of which the prince expressed himself as con- fident. The comte, who charges the prince with interfering in an affair in which you are in no way con- cerned,' says:
 If, as a foreign sovereign, you thought you could influence French officers in the grave verdict they are about to pronounce, beg you to note that we don't stand on an equal foot ing, as none of us would condescend 10 call to account a prince who is un- der tutelage.
 You are. perhaps,a a relative of Drey- fus by marriage, but in that case, it is premature triumph. If, on the other hand, it is as a protector of gambling houses that you intervene. permit me to tell you that Dreyfus himself would dispense with your services"

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL

One of the most important evidences of the determination to make felt the influences of American progress and civilization in the Philippines was noted, on the 3d, when public schools were opened at Manila under Ameri- can auspices. More than 5000 pupils were in attendance.
 By the morning of the 3d everything was in readiness, at Detroit, Mich., for the international Christian Endeavor convention, and there was every indica- ton that the attendance would be very large. Accommodations were provided for 0,000.
 President Mckinley deprecates the pessimistic view of the situation in the Philippines which is taken by some in. fuential newspapers in this country, but it is not inclined to attach much importance to their forebodings.
 Mrs. Mckinley was reported to be better on the 2d, the pleasant wealth CT having beneficial effect on her.
 Bishop Daniel s. Futile, of the Epis- copal diocese of Missouri, arrived in
  Helena, Mont, on the Ed, to spend a month among the people over whom he presided for 20 years, from 1866 to 1886, when he was bishop of Montana. Capt. J. B. Coghlan, commander of the Raleigh in the naval battle at Ma nila, little over year ago, was the guest of Columbus, Kas., on the even- ing of the 1st. He delivered an address at the operahouse on the ever-interest- ing subject of how that victory was won.

 Many persons were injured in a rail- way accident at Winsford, England, just before midnight on the 1st. A freight train on a siding overshot the buffers and left the rails. Another freight train collided with the wreck age and caused partial fall of a railway bridge. Then a crowded ex- cursion train ran into the others. Up wards of fifty cars were wrecked.
 Mrs. Kate Rothenberg was horribly beaten, on the night of the Ed, at Aeadville, Col, and may die. NJ. J. Rob- erts did the beating, and is under ar- rest. He claims that the woman is possessed of witchcraft and has been practcing on him.

The celebration of the 123d anniver- sary of the Declaration of Independ- ence was generally observed through out the state. In all respects it was a
 big day, and the general character of the festivities, eloquent oratory and genuine manifestation of enthusiasm and patriotism far exceeded that of any occasion previously commemorated.
 Many especially fine and appropriate exercises were rendered at numerous points, those notable among them being Fort Smith, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, Philadelphia, Fordyce, Texarkana, Dar- danelle, Mepa, Newport and Stuttgart.
 Senator James H. Berry added zest to the occasion at Fordyce by the delivery of an excellent oration, while Hon. H. F. Auten similarly delighted the citi- zens of Stuttgart by his matchless wit and flowery eloquence. Gov. Jones spoke at Pittman, Randolph county, where a big barbecue was a prominent feature of the day. At Dardanelle the program was carried out under the auspices of the firemen. Chief among the many attractions of the day at Little Rock was the breaking of ground upon the
