AN EXTENSIVE ADDITION
Being Made to the Indiana Mineral
Springs (lndiana) Hotel
AT AN OUTLAY OF $4,000.

fui Management OF
ii. l.. kramer.

Ten years ago the ground where the
magnificent hotel property of the lndl-
ana Mineral Springs Company is To-
Gated at Indiana Mineral Springs, In.
diana, was wholly unimproved and al
most n wilderness. Now, owing TO the
discovery of the valuable medicinal
qualities of the springs and the healing
virtue of the soil itself, together with
the enterprise of Major ii. L. Kramer,
there is located there one of the finest
sanitariuns in the United States. The
natural picturesque surroundings
have been made more attractive and
the hotel is model of comfort and
elegance.
For the greater accommodation of
guests who come in constantly incrcas-
ing numbers from every section Of the
United States, arrangements have now
been made for the enlargement of the
hotel buildings. The contract was let
yesterday by Major Kramer for addi-
tons that will cause an outlay Of over
$4,000. The improvements Will con-
sist of a new bath house and an adhi-
ton to the hotel. The addition will be
two stories in height and will occupy
ground space sOxlGO feet. 1t provides
forty additional gncst chambers The
entire addition will be handsomely
and elegantly furnished. The bath
house, when completed, will be the
finest in the United States.
Besides the bath house and the
guest chambers there will be on the
first floor dining hall, music room,
u billiard hall, physicians Offices and
a barber shop. In connection with the
bath house there will be ladies' and
gentlemen's dressing rooms and COOLING
rooms. The dressing and cooling
rooms will be deliberately decorated
and the floors will bc laid in white tile.
In both cooling rooms will be built
large ornamental fire places which will
be used for heating purposes in addi-
ton to the regular steam heating. The
work will be entirely completed IN %
days.
The improvements and the entire
arrangements of the hotel and grounds
are made, keeping in view the artistic
effect Of the whole, and when the i'm.
provemeuts arranged for are completed
the hotel and roundings will be
much more attractive than before
Major Kramer states that a still fur

Delicate surgical Operation.

A celebrated astronomer suffered
acutely for over twelve years from
an unknown trouble in his leg. The
surgeons did not seem to be able 10
diagnose his case. He finally won't to
the Johns Hopkins hospital at Balti-
more, and an examination by two
young surgeons showed that the lame
ness was due to diseased nerve in
the leg. The patient was told that the
operation would be painful. and in the
nature of an experiment, as it had
been tried only once before, in France,
in which instance it was successful.
The patient refused to take anaesthet-
les, as he desired to witness the oper-
alton as far as possible. The leg was
opened and the nerve was found to
be diseased, and the patient directed
the surgeons to cut 1t out. The nerve
was entirely removed, the wound
closed and in ten days the patient was
able to dress himself and walk about
the hospital, and he is now able to
go up and down stairs and walk half
a mile at time.

CHAPTER VII.

How long he waited he never after
wards knew. 1t might have been hail
an hour. 1t might have been more.
But suddenly a strange sensation be-
gan to creep over him, a sensation
of most extraordinary drowsiness,
which he seemed unable to combat.
He had taken one of Rayburn's Prof
fered cigars, thinking 1t would be I'M
gracious to refuse, and feeling, more
over that he would be the better for
one after that long tramp and the fa-
tiguing scramble through the jungle
He was smoking it as the feeling of
drowsiness crept over him.
He made a courageous effort to
shake 1t off by trying to move about

A little knoll of the rough half
grass formed temptation; he yielded
TO 1t and sat down. In few minutes
the whole of his surroundings-the

his wounded friend-faded away into
nothingness; drowsiness passed into
unconsciousness, and Cleland slept.

DAT SMUT.
Costs the Farmers $4,000, 200 a
Year in the United States.

The loss from smut in the oat crop is
said to be, or to have been, some $751;
100000 per year in the United States.
Estimates made in Kansas placed the
loss of that state alone at 81, 2S2, 1928 in
1888, at $500. 554 in 1899, and S911, 200 in
1890 In Indiana in 1889 it was est
mated at 1897 ,526, and in 1890 5000, 352.
In Michigan in1891 it was estimated at
100000, and in 1892 at S1,000,0 900.
While these estimates are approx
mate, they are likely to be less rather
than above the actual injury. Thev
represent the percentage of crop dam
aged, but there is another way in
which future crops are reduced by it.
Seed from field where there is much
smutresults in more smutty grain next
year, and if the crop is sown again on
the same field the smut will appear
even when clean seed is used. By the
use of one pound of formalin in so gal
Ions of water, the tormalin costing
so to IS cents a pound, and simply
sprinkling the seed. mixing until all
are moistened and sowing seed on
clean land, this trouble may be pre-
vented. One gallon of water is
enough to moisten a bushel of oats, so
that the cost of treatment need not eX-
coed a cent and a half per bushel. IF
the seed is to be drilled in, it should
be spread and dried, but this is not
necessary when it is to be sown broad
cast.

THIRTY PER CENT. SHORT.
COTTON AND CORN SUFFERING
ALL OVER GEORGIA.
State Agricultural Department
Receiving Reports from
Various Counties.

The crop conditions in Georgia are
very poor. From all over the state re-
ports are received to the effect that
the unfavorable seasons have damaged
the cotton to an alarming extent.
Assistant Commissioner of Agricult-
ure Wright states that both the corn
and cotton crops will be about 30
per cent. short. The monthly bulle-
tin issued by the agricultural depart
ment will give the status of the crops
in the various counties.
MIR. Wright says the rainy season
during June and the dry season this
present month have done much to hurt
the cotton. In some places the crop is
excellent, but in q majority of the
counties cotton is scarcely ove-. two
feet high and has sickly color.
Usually by this time of year reports
are received from south Georgia that
the cotton is opening, but only one man
has gathered any cotton this year as
far as is known. He lives in Lee
county.
The corn was injured by the excess
i've rain, as well as the cotton, and now
dry weather is having its effect.
In speaking Of the situation Mr..
Wright says:
eve have not yet received our re-
ports from all the counties, but those
which have come in are not at all ia
vorable. I expect the corn and cot
ton crop both will be about 30 per cent
short. The seasons have been very
unfavorable, and the farmers will suf-
fer. The cotton acreage is about the
same as last year, but the seasons have
been so bad that the yield Of all the
plants will be cut down considerably.
in some portions of the state the
crops are all right, but these are few.
There have been some local rains, but
very few places have been benefited.
The state needs rains now more than
anything else, and good showers all
over Georgia would be great boon to
the farmers.

M'KINLEY'S WAR
In the Philippines Breaking Out
Again With Fresh VigOr.

From the New York World.
There is no doubt now as to the stu
alton in the Philippines. An Associ-
ated Press dispatch sent by mail to es-
cape the censor let's the country know
the truth The war instead of being
over is breaking out with fresh vigor.
The insurgents in Luzon are reOr--
ganizing. A new war is threatened in
Mindanao and the Sulu islands. Our
own troops are worn out by the great
exactions of the campaign. The officers
and soldiers who are on the ground
are beginning to discover the extent
of the Philippines and the number of
Filipinos. General Lawton S statement
that 100, 600 troops will be needed is
being indicated. Our presence in the
Philippines is not enabling lis to send
troops 10 China. We have sent the
gallant Ninth regiment, and its very
inadequacy in numbers has led to the
awful slaughter which is reported in
tle mornings news. We have also
sent the Fourteenth infantry and a bat
terry of artillery. General Macarthur
can do no more. Our main force must
90 from this country, where we now
have not enough soldiers to protect our
coast defense guns from the weather.
Finally, our new ally, General Pho del
Pillar, has failed In his efforts to in
duce the Filipinos to lay down their
arms.
Mr.. Mckinley is having war to his
hearts content in the Philippines, war
which he invited, war which has cost
the country more than 1000 good lives
and 100000, 600, and which is to cost
at least 500, 100000 year and uncount-
ed lives for long time to come, and
war for which neither Mr. Mckinley
nor congress- has yet made adequate
provision. Notwithstanding its awful
;ost. American blood and treasure are
being poured out in the east uselessly
and therefore hopelessly by reason of
the policy to which Mr.. Mckinley in
his speech OF acceptance persistently
sticks.

HENS HAVE A MOVE ON.
In Missouri the Value Of Their Product Is
$12,0O0,OO0 Yearly.

The hens in Missouri have move
on them, as the saying of the street
coes. In the newer and better condi-
tions that have come to the farmers,
particularly in the wheat-producing
sections, the hen has played leading
role. SO to speak. Evidence of this is
found in the Missouri report of the bu-
reau of labor statistics for 1899, which
shows that in the year covered by the
report 1O,698, ITO pounds of live and
dressed poultry were shipped from the
ia counties of the state. This sum is
an increase over the preceding year of
SO, 9O7, 443 pounds. The total number of
dozens of eggs shipped last year was
81, S75, 040, and the aggregate value re-
ceived by producers of poultry and
eggs was So, 091 ,04S.54.
There is nothing in the whole cata-
logue of foodstuffs that is superior to
new laid egg, or better than well pre-
pared spring chicken.
Why may not Georgia, along with
the growing wheat industry plant more
eggs and chickens ? Think of twelve
million dollars reaped by the chicken
growers of one state in one year. The
yellow legs will thrive in Georgia as
well as in Missouri.

UNDER 4 SERIOUS CHARGE.
A WELL-KNOWN DRUMMER IN
JAIL AT MACON.
Stoney Glover's Accounts With
the House He Represented
Said to Be Wrong.

The following from Fridays Macon
Telegraph will be read with interest
in Dawson, where Mr.. Glover has
many friends and acquaintances
Mr.. Stoney Glover, one of Macon's
best known and most popular travelling
men, is in jail here to answer to the
charge of larceny after trust on two
warrants sworn out against him by his
employers, Adams Bros. Co., the gro
GERS.
Mr.. Glover has been with this firm
for several months, and, it is claimed,
had not been very careful about keep
ing his accounts; SO when he was call
ed on recently for a settlement he
checked up short about 500. He was
given time to raise the money, but it
is said that he was too proud to tell his
troubles to his friends, and waited un-
til the warrants were sworn out and an
officer was sent down to his home at
Americas. He wa brought back here
very much crushed in spirit, but as he
has always been considered a gentle
man of his word and of the best Drin
ciples the belief has been expressed
that when his friends learn of his sit
uation they will go to his rescue.
He belongs to one of the weathiest
and most influential families in Sumter
county. He has a wife and several
children in Americas.

New Jersey Has Produced a Novelty in

1t would seem almost impossible to

produced really a novelty in snake
stories. At Kearney, in that state,
there was nest of snakes that gotinto

who raced sometimes a dozen blocks
under fierce sun in response to the
false alarm, cannot be said: but the
alarms kept coming in to the despair
of the laddies, who could never find
either fire or sender of the alarm. At
