MEDAL OF HONOR.
Few People Would Know the Rare
Decoration of Congress If
They Saw 1t.

The medal of honor granted by con-
gress for some conspicuous act of gal
lantry is so rare that hundreds of Off
GERS have never even seen it, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The bow knot worn in the button
hole in lieu of the medal goes unrec-
ognized, except by the very few. The
medal is Of black bronze, and is often
mistaken for the grand army insignia,
the latter having been patterned after
1t to certain degree. 1t is much larger
than the latter, and on the reverse side
is engraved the name, rank, date and
the battle in which the service was rem
dered, and the specific act of heroism
for which it was given. The medal is
only worn on state occasions, but the
bow knot is always worn. It is small
affair, with its specific ribbon. 1t is
of silk, white stripe in center, bor-
dered by two blue stripes, which are
bordered by two red stripes. 1t is an
inch in length and three-eighths of
an inch wide. The little emblem shows
that the wearer has received from this
government the highest honor that can
be conferred upon man. The secretary
of war recently issued an order, after
conference with the executive commit
tee of the Medal of Honor Legion, that
hereafter on all official occasions, recep-
tions, banquets, ETC., the congressional
medal of honor will be worn resting on
the breast and suspended by the broad
official ribbon of the order around the
neck

A SINGULAR WILL
The Testatrix Makes Some Queer
Provisions for the Disposition
of Her DOdy.


The will of the late Mrs. Pauline Less,
says the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch, is an
interesting document. The command
given in the opening paragraph rela-
tive to the disposition of the body of
the testatrix after death is as follows:
"Immediately upon my death notice
thereof shall be given to the president
of Miriam lodge and Adolph Resen-
trater. The latter shall perform the fu-
neral services and be paid SIS therefor,
and he shall also telegraph information
of nv death to Jerusalem and also al
low only such persons who do not touch
fire on Saturdays to stay and watch over
my remains. The latter are to be paid
a reasonable compensation therefor out
of my estate. The sand which l got
from Jerusalem ard is now in my trunk
shall be laid on my face. My coffin shall
be of rough lumber and my clothing
shall be divided by my executor among
poor and needy persons"
The testatrix directs that a suitable
grave be purchased for her and that a
monument, the maximum cost of which
shall be 800, be erected over her head.
She gives to the president of the He
brew school al Eleventh and Carr
streets $500, in consideration of which
Kodesch Ga Hebrew prayer) shall be
offered three times daily at his school
for one year.
After these bequests are paid the
testatrix gives the remainder of her
Droperty in eullal shares to her five chill
dren. She names Benjamin Burenstein
as her executor and requests that he be
not required to give bond.

GOLD UNDER A CHIMNEY.
Niae Hundred shining Dollars Fo1AA
In . Pot b. . Farmer In
MissOuri.

Many man has looked for a pot Of
gold at the rainbow's end and found
It not But one man who didn't look
for 1t under his own chimney has
stumbled on one and IL has 5000 In It,
too. Henry d. Murren, OF Luxembourg.
St. Louis county, Mo-, is the man who
Is 5000 richer now than he was FRI
day morning. He was puttering
about his place, when he stumbled on
an old iron pot just at the foot Of the
chimney. He dug 1t up and his eyes
stuck out like china marbles when he
saw what he had found. He counted
his treasures and his eyes were as big
as baseballs. Then he told of his
good fortune and all the neighborhood
envied him--and started TO examine
chimneys for more.
No one has any idea who put the
money in this strange place. By the
condition of the receptacle In which
the money was found Mr.. Murren
judges that it has lain there for many
years, probably since before the civil
war. The house has been standing as
long as the oldest person in that
neighborhood can remember. Many
farmers lean to the theory that the
money was hidden by Frank Nichols,
an extensive cattle trader who owned
and occupied the house shortly after
the civil war. Nichols was known to
have been in possession of large sums
Ut money ut times and is recalled as
very eccentric person. He was
killed in an accident while on a trip
through the west buying cattle.

FINDS GREAT VEIN OF MICA
DR.. w. e. Nichols, of Indiana, Makes
Important Discovery in Brit
ish Columbia.

DR.. W. E. Nichols, of Huntingdon,
Ind, is back from British Columbia,
where at the head waters of the Peace
river, he discovered great vein of
mica. DR.. Nichols in 1897 penetrated
1,7OO miles into the unexplored north.
He cured the Indians with his medi-
cines, and they in gratitude told him
of gold deposits. He made his way
across mountains, and on the slope Of
one ran across this great vein Of mica.
The next year he went in again with a
partner, c. w. Norris, of Chicago, and
staked of claims He and Norris have
brought with them Ave tons of mica,
valued at over 100000. They claim
they can produce cubes Of mica four
feet square. Heretofore the largest
sheets have been measured in inches.
The doctor will claim the prize Of
a25,o0o offered by the British govern
ment for a piece of mica four feet
square. He says his sheets can be used
for glass in locomotives and on battle
ships. The vibrations Of the gun firing
always skaters glass, and the navies
Of the world will want his mica sheets.

Having secured all the offices and
fat places the Democrats and their
"Hessian" allies, after admitting the
fact that there is reasonable doubt
as to the legality of the money drawn
for the pretended investigation, have
the nerve to say it is the duty of pri-
vate citizens to bring suit and stand
the expense of same, to recover for
the county. 1t might prove of great
value to them if they would heed the
the words of that great American
who said: "You can fool some of the
people all the time, all the people
part of the time, but you can't fool
all the people all the time"
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1900-01-25

Again the Dispatchis is frothing and
foaming in great agony because they
have heard the Legislature might
pass law by which it would be i'm
possible for the Democrats to give
them the patronage that they sold out
the Republican ticket ever since their
existence to secure.
1t is amusing indeed for intelligent
people to hear talk about a scheme
being discovered to get bill through
the Legislature secretly. They never
thought, we presume, that every bill
published, each member furnished
with copy and every man, woman
and child in the State can be fully
advised what the bill is before it
comes up for passage. But this organ
of the Democratic Aid Society has nev-
er done anything in an open and hon
est manner, as it has always been con-
trolled by the Democrats and COM
PEELED at their dictation to act the
sneak and traitor. Knowing its own
disposition and past conduct it can
see and suspect nothing but the
same action in charge.
When it states that Mr.. Wilson in
tended to present bill of this kind
it also shows as little knowledge of
the situation as is possible, but we
presume Mr.. Wilson, acting for his
constituents, will be guided by their
wishes and wants.
The whole story boils itself down to
the imagination of persons who are
convulsed with fear on account of the
near approach of the end of their
cowardly and dishonest course.

Physical Life of Our Planet.

The Revue Scientifique contains an
interesting paper by Prof. Klossovsky,
entitled ia vie Physique de Notre
Planete Devant les Lumieres de la Sci
ence Contemporaries" in which the au-
thor regards the earth as living or
ganism whose functions are all closely
connected according to certain laws.
Even the variations of terrestrial mag
netism are connected with a system of
currents which traverse the earth's at
mosphere and are correlated with its
cyclonic activity. He considers also that
the magnetic and electrical fields have
an influence on the progress of phe-
nomena at the surface of the earth. The
professors idea of the earth as an or
ganism is, however, not new. II orig
mated many years ago with Guyot.
