The Belief In Charms

belief in charms has existed in all
ages and has been shared by all peo-
pies. 1t is natural result of supersti-
ton. The phylacteries worn by Mo-
hammedan and Jewish women on the
forehead form but one phase of this
universal belief. Faith, however, is
deemed essential and is true of all tai
ismans that are copied from old pat
terms and not constructed according to
the rules of the cabalistic art
Talismans to be efficacious must be
constructed when the planets are in
benefic configuration 1t is then that
the magic geometrical words and fig
ures inscribed thereon are more potent
in their results for good. The date of
birth of the person for whom the tails
man is made must also be considered,
SO that his particulay lucky star is TAX
en- into consideration.
Many great men were believers in
talismans and wore them constantly.
Napoleon especially was very supersti-
tious and carried on his person charm
given to him by an Egyptian priest.

to have brought the family the great
wealth for which it is celebrated.-New

Webster and the Plow.

s'Daniel Webster, when at his home at
Marsh1ield. would never speak on poll

the assembled neighbors aud guests on
matters pertaining to farming. On one
occasion some Boston friends present
ed him with an enormous pillow to use
on his farm. Webster gave out word
that on a certain day it would h. chris

rounding farmers for miles came to
witness the event. A dozen teams
with aristocratic occupants came down
from Boston. 1t was expected by ey-

A Son of n Sea Cook.

The information concerning the ex-
preston "a son of a sea cook" says
the Philadelphia Times, has not been
found in any reference dictionary. 1t
comes from a prominent citizen, a man
of affairs and man of intelligence.
In 1862 he was for period the cam
paign companion of Leonard SWEET,
who at that time was candidate for
congress in Illinois. Mr.. SWEET was
the bosom friend of Abraham Lincoln
his alter ego. In 1883 he was the ad-
vocate in Chicago of the presidential
aspirations of Walter Q. Gresham.
At the time referred to Mr.. SWEET
had an engagement to address voters
in Fremont and Pekin, in Tazewell
county, and by the informant referred
to was driven from Fremont to Pellin.
SWEET had few equals as conversa-
tionalist, and the talk was brisk and
naturally never to be forgotten by the
man who had proffered his services as
driver.
The latter, speaking of well known
lawyer of Pekin, remarked, HE is a
son of sea cook" Mr.. SWEET turned
abruptly about and said: THAT express
sion is not correct. You mean the son
of sekawk, which is a perversion of
the Indian name segonk, which means
skunk and is usually pronounced Sc
hawk. Few people ever use the term
correctly or comprehend it's meaning"

strife in the republican party of this
county. Mr.. RAGS friends were active
throughout TUESDAY, presenting his
candidacy to the other delegations
from the Tenth District as they came
in and up until the morning OF the eau
Gus no opposition was developed and it
was hoped that Mr. Rae would have no
opponent. Mr.. Rae was placed in nom

The result of the first ballot showed
that the vote of the north district was
divided between it's two candidates.
lille the south was voting solidly for
Rae. At the conclusion of the first
ballot the name of Col. Ormsby was
withdrawn. The second ballot gave
Mr.. Rae 50 and Mr.. Grim 10. The vote
shows that Carroll, Greene. Calhoun,
Hamilton, Pocahontas. Humboldt
and Crawford voted for Mr.. Rae
while Webster county divided its vote
evenly between the two candidates.
Boone county was the only one of the
southern half of the district which
failed to support the south end man
Mr.. Thos. Fac is one of the stalwart
republicans OF this county. He has
never tilnched in his support of the
re publican principles and has ever been
fond ready and faithful in every emer-
geney. In a democratic county it is
impossible for republicans to reward
their faithful workers in the ordinary
way and such counties must rely upon
the courtesy of the other counties in
the district for such recognition. I'm
der the circumstances Crawford coun-
ty is highly pleased with the result of
the caucus and is grateful to its friends
for their support. 1t will be an added
pleasure to vote for Mckinley and the
republican electors with Mr.. Rae's
aame upon the ticket.

BARN BURNED AT DUNLAP.
Nonpareil. Aug. ].


This morning at 8 O'Clock the livery
barn belonging to w. J. Mize, situated
on the corner OF Sixth and Eaton
streets. was discovered to be on fire.
A n alarm was at once given and the
volunteer fire companies together with
the citizens of the town generally. re-
spended promptly and fought the fire
ficrcely, but it spread so rapidly
through the hay nov, in which about
fifty tons of hay were stored. that 1t
was impossible to save the barn. The
horses were all saved as we'll las all of
the buggies but one. The barn with
all the hay and grain, is mass of
smoldering ruins. A little house, Just
across the alley, the property of John
Hart, hae all the shingles on the roof
AID the siding next to the barn burned
off, but otherwise all adjacent property
was saved. Mrs. Prentiss' house lust
across the street was not damaged a
particle. The loss on barn and con-
tents is estimated at So, 500. Insurance
$l.350. Origin of the fire is mystery.
This is the fourth time that livery
burn has burned to the ground on this
same lot. On some previous occasions
lncendlarlsm was strongly suspected,
but there seems to be no indication OF
that this time.
Mr.. Mize had. it is understood. about
completed trade for a farm for his
livery barn, possession to be given Jan.

ranged except that The transfer had
not yet been made.

Horsc. wounded In Battle.

Horses wounded on the battlefield
are duly attended to when no danger
to human life is involved. The veteri-
nary officer in charge is expected to
follow close on the fighting line and.
together with number of aids, to in
spect properly wounded animals and
give instructions for their removal or
slaughter, as the case may be. The
veterinary surgeon is naturally expos
ed to considerable danger, but if his
work is not carried out during the
progress of hostilities in all probability
it cannot be accomplished afterward,
for, although the royal army medical
corps is allowed to proceed to the res
cue of the wounded men under the
Red Cross, the members of the army
veterinary department are not permit
ted to attend to the injured horses, be-
cause they are not under the protection
of the Geneva convention, which makes
no provision whatsoever for wounded
animals.
At the conclusion of the battle, if it
has been decisive and one or other of
the combatant armies has been driven
from the field, a party of veterinary
surgeons, with their assistants, is sent
out to examine every animal that has
fallen and to shoot such as are badly
wounded. Those suffering from only
slight injuries are collected and taken
to the veterinary hospital lines, formed
as fixed camps and established on |.
similar basis to those of the royal ar
my medical corps. - Pearsons Maya.
