Vhe Foolish Notion stillF Prevalent
 That It Indtcates asGene ro1s :f'
 DispoAition. L 1.

There is . false and foolish fancy, still prevalent to some extent, that table furnished to eNces ssindi diHGtes generous disposition. On the contrary it indicates nothing but ths taste of the provider of brsad. We have all known very selfish people who prided themselves uponstheir gene rous d b,es. Fortuna tely it is no longer considered elegant to load down table with 'all that the market affords" Modern science has taught hs that it. is dan. gerous, to the health to overload the digestion. Modern good taste has also taught us that it is mere animalism to do so, says the New York Tribune.
 -nThe refin edn tas tet b bfae-day de ma ndsI that the table be furnished with iib- eral sufiiciency of daintily cooked and daintily served food, never with gross excess. The days when the table ''groaned' with the abundance of fish. flesh, fowl and the fruits of the earth has gone by. Those were also the days of boisterouS ta bls manners, when eat ing and drinkin. in excess were not es- teemed vices. These are days of "mi1der manners. kindEar laws" Over the vul- gar luxuriancs which cha;,2c terizsd the tables of tho rich in olden days rested q grim shadow. Hundreds of Starv- ing poor gathered to snatch the cru1n bs that fell from these " aSteful feaSts and supported a wretched existence on what is now thrown to the dogs alone.
 If the days of the baronial fcastE of a few have gone by. let us be thankful that the grim Shad ow et starving rtu.-* ti.udes has also fled f2rfrom civilized lands, and is,only fosRd occasionally in remote corners of the earth. The table of the average Gay laborer in point of a regular supply of wholesome food properly cooked ahd properly served would compare faYo-ab.y with that of the richest baron of a kin.ly realm in olden times. The much lauded boar's head was 3 coarse meat, which would be considered uneata ble to-day. Lamprey eels, which wLre eS- teemed such luxury in the days of early England that Kin. John. to limit the cupidity of fishermen, fixed a price on them, are so gross food that they are sold in these modern days only to the poorest Italian peasants. An in telligent workingman of to-day would probably suffer for food rather than eat what was esteemed luxurious food in ChauceT's time. The grinding of grain into flour and the preFarati ton of various grains into food has been so perfected that thero is little left to be desired. The wheaton loaf, Sach as every man who 'earns his bread by the sweat of lis b-ow' expects to fnd on his table, was unkcioHn 0 the labor ing man of early EngJaEd. His bread was made of beans, peas and inferior grains. Fine wheaton bread was found only on the tables of kings and nobles.

THE WHITE DEATH.
4 Frozen Eos of Which Indians Are More Afraid Than of Rat
 tlexnakcs.

Of all the natural phenomena pc c--2!iar to the. Rocky mountain region none is more strange or terrible than the mysterious storm known to the Indians as the white death" Sci entifc men have never yet had an Cp- pCrtunity of investigating it. be- cause it comes at the most GneNpect- ed times and may keep away from a certain locality for years. Well-read men who have been through it say that it is really frozen fog. But where the fog comes from is more than anyone can say. This phenome- non occurs most frequently in the northern part of Colorado, in Wy oming, and occasionally in Montana, writes Will Sparks in Ainslee's.
 About two years ago party of three women and two men were crossing North Park in 8 wagon in the month of February. The air was bitterly cold, but dry as a bone and most startling brilliancy. As the five people drove along ove- the crisp snow they did not experience the least cold, but really felt most comfortable, and rather enjoyed the trip. MouE- tain peaks 50 miles away could be seen as distinctly as the pine trees by the roadside.
 Suddenly ore of the women put her hand up to her face and remarked that something had stung her. Then other members of the party did the same thing. although not a sign of an Insect could be seen. All marveled greatly at this. A moment later they noticed that the distant mountains were disappearin. behind cloud of mist. Mist in Colorado in January- Surely there must be some mistake. But there was no mistake. because within ten minutes a gentle wind began to blow and the air became filled with fine particles of something that seiatillated like diamond dust in the sunshine. Still the people drove on until they came to cabin where a man Signaled to them to stop. With his head tied up in Q bundle of muf- fers, he rushed. out ani handed the driver piece of paper on. which was written: Come into the house quick, or this storm will kill all of you. Don't talk outside here"
 Of course no time was lost in get coN-E duu Abe horses in the stables. But they were a little late, for in less han an hour the whole party was sick with violent coughs and fever. Before the next morning enc of the women died with nll the symptoms of pneumonia. The others were violently i'll of it, but managed to pull through after long sickness.
 .'I seen you people driving along the road long before you got to my house, and I knowed you didn't know what you were d-ivin' through" said the man, as soon as the surviving} mem- bers of the party were able to talk. That stuff yc seen in the air is small pieces of ice, froze so cod it goes clear down into your lungs without melting. If any man stayed out a few hours without his head covered up he would be-suze to .die:-Ons win ter about eight years ago it cleaned out whole Indian tribe across the Wyoming line They are more afraid of it than they are of rattlesnakes. That's the reason they call it the white death.'"

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, July 3O-WHEAT-Wheat had
a distinct undertone of weakness during

HOUSEWIVES HUSBAND.
st. Louis Wife Beaten is Given Some
of His Own Medicine.

st. Louis, Mo, July 3O.-This was wife
heaters day in Judge Sidney's court,
four men being on the docket for whip
ping and beating their wives. One of
them. John Hodges, of 2123 Walnut
street, was not able to appear, being
confined at the City hospital from in
jurieS inflicted by his wife, Rebecca.
The case was continued. officer Dun
don told the court that Hodges is in
the habit of beating his wife They
have a rooming house, and on Friday
night Mrs. Hodges went to a picnic,
escorted by three of her roomers John
followed her. She saw him and hur-
ried home. Hodges did the same. Mrs.
Hodges went to her fathers house and
got her sire to go home with her. The
old man hid while Hodges made the
preliminary attack upon Mrs. Hodges
Then her father took a hand. He
knocked his son-in-laW down and held
him.
You are no longer my daughter if
you don't pay him back in his own
CON-" he told his daughter Mrs.
Hodges was equal to the occasion. With
a blacksnake whip she gave her hus-
band such a beating that he will ever
remember When Mrs. Hodges was
physically exhausted she ceased plying
the whip. BY that time the wife beaten
was covered with Welts and bruises,
while across his face was a lurid mark
left by the lash. He will be in the hos
pital for the next five or six days, and
then the police judge will take a hand.

WILLIS HEARD.
Old Middle of Reader Signs New
Convention Call.
Threat Made at Fort Scott
Carried Out.
MEET ON AUGUST %.
ssFOrees'' Will Then Gather in
Topeka.
Part of Plan to Defeat John
Breidenthal.
MEET ON AUGUST %.

John F. Willis has been heard from,
and in the same old way; he is one of
the leading spirits in the movement for
a middle of the road Populist conven-
ton which has been called for Topeka,
August %.
This convention proposes to nominate
q full state ticket, and in this manner
go on record as opposed to the ways
of the fusionists who nominated a
state ticket at Fort Scott.
In the early days of Populism Mr.
Willis was not so particular about the
class of voters who mingled with the
PopulistS on election day, but after he
failed to get into Office he became a
'knocker," and is still in the business.
In the state campaign two years ago
Mr. Willis and some other former Pop
ulists conducted a similar campaign.
The call for the middle of the road
convention is signed by Mr.. Willis, I.
v. Kennedy and A c. Wilson, members
of the national committee for Kansas,
and by J. A Parker, chairman of the
national convention representing that
party.
The scheme to hold a state conven-
ton was planned at Fort Scott by some
OF the POpuliStS who were fighting the
nomination of Breidenthal.

CRAZED BY LOSSES.
Prosperous Tailor Wrecks Business
and Mind by Betting on Horses.

st. Louis, Mo, July 3O.-Horse racing
and the men who make capital out of
the sport wrecked the mind of Fred
Roberts, who is now confined at the
city hospital for observation as to his
mental condition.
Roberts was for years proprietor of
high-class tailoring establishment at
718 Pine street. He has squandered a
fortune on the races at the fair grounds
and elsewhere His place Of business is
in the heart of the district where pool
rooms flourish. Roberts was arrested
at his tailoring establishment. Brood
ing over his bad luck in following the
horses has made him a mailman. He
had battered down the door leading to
an apartment adjoining his store, which
was occupied by one of the colony of
bookmakers, with whom he had spent
the bulk of his income. Physicians at
the city hospital say there is little hope
that he will recover. One of Roberts
decisions is that he gave a tip to a
prominent broker who refused to use
the information, and that he then sent
a challenge to the broker to fight
duel with pistols.
