Washington Special New York Mail
and Express: It has been the ambition
of every administration to complete
the historical frieze around the big ro-
tunda under the great dome of the cap
itol. This fresco illustrates the
history of the United States from the
landing Of Columbus. It has been COM
p1eted, except one panel or space. and
rs each administration has come and
gone. designs have been submitted to
fill that space with some event that
occurred during that particular admin
ietration.Z The latest suggestion was
made during Mr.. Cleyeland's last term,
when 1t was proposed to fill the vacant
space with the scene of the opening OF
the Worlds Fair at Chicago. This pic
ture was TO represent MT. Cleveland
touching the electric button and start
ing the machinery OF the Columbian
exposition. Designs were drawn and
submitted, but the project did not
quite please the congressional commit
tee which has charge Of the capitol,
Within the last few weeks New York
artist has come forward with another
design to complete the historical trteze,
and this time the subject is the free
dom of Cuba. The artist has treated the
subject In an allegorical way, repre-
senting President Mckinley as striking
the shackles off the arms of a female,
supposed to represent Cuba. Some
have proposed that the artist change
his design, and, instead, add other fig

MANY WEEDS GOOD TO EAT.

Go out on any farm and see the farm-

cimen of the lapidary's skill. It shows

BURIED HIS LEG,
And Had an Expensive Tombstone Placed
Over the Grave.

Calumet Mich Correspondence OF
the Detroit Journal: In the little vii
iage of L'Anse lives shoemaker
named Peter Murphy, who is one or
the most eccentric men in northern
Michigan On Just one subject. Ten
years ago the physicians found It nee
essary to amputate one OF his legs Just
above the knee When he recovered
from the operation he decided that the
part Of his leg which had been taken
off was dead and therefore 1t should
be buried, and be arranged to have
funeral service. The amputated mem
Der was placed in a small coffin and
buried with all the ponp and eere-
mony Mr.. Murphy would have ex-
peeted il It had been his own funeral,
He attended the funeral himself and
wspt genuine tears as the earth was
shoYeled on top of the rough box. But
this didn't end his devotion to that
part of his body which was dead He
purchased an expensive tombstone,
had a likeness of the leg cut into the
stone, and then had it inscribed with
the facts of the case. telling that it
was Peter Murphy's leg, and the date
of the funeral. Although this all hap
pened ten years ago, Mr.. Murphy never
negleets the sacred spot where his leg
is buried, and every week he hobbies
out to the cemetery, where in the sum-
mer time he keeps the grave prettily
decorated with flowers. His wish is
that when he dies the remainder OF his
body shall be inferred with his leg.
Murphy is veteran of the civil war,
and his injuries during one of the bat
Ties were the Indirect cause Of his hay
ing the leg cut off.

Yield OF Colo In the rransvaaa.

Transvaal yield in-June was 46f, I'll
ounces. or 8f9 ounces better than in the
preceding month, the latter return be-
Ing the previous best on record. So faE
this year each monthly return since
February has been over 100000 ounces
better than the corresponding yield in
1898. In fact. up to date, the 1889
yield is some 625,000 ounces above the
showing the corresponding period In
1898. Here are the total yields OF the
Transvaai since 1894, when the records
showed 2,024, 159 ounces; In 1895,

1897. 1904, 474 ounces, and 1898, 1885,
900 ounces. London fnanciers do not
deem It possible that this eKtraordln-

CONNER FOR CONGRESS.

Not only in Crawford county, but
in many points throughout the dis
trict and the state there is a desire
that Judge j. p. Conner allow his name
to be used as candidate for Congress
to succeed Senator Dolliver. For our.
selves we feel that no better choice
could be made and we sincerely hope
that Judge Conner may become can
didate. AT the time of Senator Dol
llver'st first nomination Judge Conner
was one of the strongest favorites for
the place. and added years have not
dimmed the lustre of his name nor
lessened his influence among the peo-
pie of the district. AS district attor-
new and district Judge MIR. Conner
proved himself to be man OF great
strength of intellect and character.
He is a warm personal friend of Sem
ator Dolliver and we know that he en-
tertains no shade of jealousy over Mr.
l-Dolliverss appointment and that his
sincere and abiding friendship for
Gov. Shaw has not been in the least
lessened thereby. Judge Conner is an
able jurist. an eloquent orator and a
man of depth aud profoundity of
thought. No man in the district is
better able to maintain the high stand
ard set by Mr.. Dolliver. Naturally
there will be many candidates for the
position. 1t is an high and honorable
ambition, but we believe that when
the delegates meet in convention it
will be found that Judge Conner is the
best and most available man in the
district. For these reasons we unite
with scores of republican leaders
throughout the entire district in
urging Mr.. Conner to become q
candidate. If he does consent we can
safely assure him the united, active
and ardent support of every republican
In Crawford county. They are ready
to go to work in the good old fashioned
Crawford county way and all work to-
gether for the man of their choice.
Should Judge Conner decide to be a
candidate there viii, be but one voice
in Crawford and but one purpose in
view, and that the nomination of the
man whom years of intimate acquaint-
ance have proven to be one of the
ablest. truest, brainiest and best men
in all this stateful of good men.
i Again we urge upon Judge Conner
that he crafty his many friends by al
4 lowing his name to be presented to the
republicans of the district for the con.
gressional nomination.
