A THIRD HAND.
Barry Pain Says That Is One Of the
Needs of Man.

When nature gave us two hands she
gave us all that we wanted at the
time, but we have moved ON, and ma
ture has remained stationary. We have
the trolley car to take us down town.
We carry with us hat (Which blows
Off when there Is Il slight breeze and
Is ruined by shower of RAIN, an UNI
brella to protect the hat, and small
black bag containing papers. On our
way back we have in addition in an
other bag a piece of fish which we
have purchased in the market and are
taking home to our residence. Laden
with these impediments, we attempt
TO board car in motion
At first sight IT would appear that
one hand Is necessary to catch on to
the rail, another hand to hold the
black bag, and another to hold the fish
bag. But this is not so in practice. one
hand can satisfactorily account for n
black bag, an umbrella and fish bas-
ct. The trouble begins when we try
to hold on the hat with the same hand
with which we are gripping on to the
rail. And in the case of the two-han1-
ed man this happens every day. As at
present constructed, we lose our Eat
or our balance, or both The third
Hullu WOulu make all secure.
Go down town at midday and enter
any of the popular restaurant $, and
you will be faced at once with the
great luncheon difficulty. There is II
long counter and n number of men
seated at IL on high stools The coun-
ter itself is crowded, and there are
many waiting for their chance at IT,.
and wasting valuable time. Now there
is room and to spare, but not against
the counter
The third hand blots out all the diff
ficultles of the rush luncheon at once.
The third or middle hand, spread out
fiat, would hold the knife, and the left
the fork, as now. The counter could
be removed entirely, thus giving more
space Every man would be his own
counter When the human race first
started with the original couple there
was plenty of room and two hands
Sufiiced, but in the crowded condition
of the metropolitan luncheon the third
hand. to hold the plate has become Il
necessity. Having acquired the rush
luncheon, we must inevitable acquire
the third hand
Pass from the business to the social
function. Let us suppose that it is a
reception after Il wedding. The we'd
ding presents are arranged round the
room. There Is an enormous crowd of
smartly dressed people, there are two
detectives, carefully disguised to look
exactly like detectives; there are re-
frcshments In the middle of the room
is young man with coffee ice in
each hand making his way to two Ia
dies in the corner. There is n crowd
round him and no available place on
which he can put down either of the
ices and at that moment it becomes
an imperative necessity that he shall
sneeze. Think what third hand
would mean to him Mt that moment

QUEER WOUNDS.
Made by Spanish Bullets at the Battle
of San Juan.

my messmate, the Surgeon told me
of two queer wounds" said the re-
turned Cuban campaigner, land if
lid not know him to be a truthful
man who had seen the wounds with
his own eyes | would not believe the
story He said late in the afternoon
of the day the hill was stormed man
came up to the hospital tent and said:
Doctor, ! am shot through the neck
The doctor supposed n glancing shot
had left its mark on the side of the
neck, but he told the man to take off
the bandage in which it was bound.
thinking he would see If the wound
was clean TO his utter astonishment
he found the man had been shot the
bullet passing through the neck from
side to side. He said he could hardly
believe his eyes, and several other sur
geons We're called to look at the
wound but it was there without ques-
ton, and the man alive and not bleed
ing to death. The wound was dressed
and the man made to lie down. Next
morning the wounded man asked leave
to so back to the firing line saying
he felt fine and wanted another crack
at the Dagoes.' He was kept in the
tent another day and finally was al,
lowed to join his company, and Is, so
far as | know, alive to-day. The sur
geon told me n bullet could not pass
through mans neck in that way
without killing him once in 10000
times. and had he not seen the man
he would hardly credit the story being
true.
"The other wound was equally odd.
A man was brought into the hospital
who. while in a STOPPING position. had
been shot in the back by sharp.

between the shoulder blades and com
ing out into the mans mouth. knock
ing out two of his front teeth The
man carried In his hand the teeth and
bullet when he arrived at the hospital
He did not die, strange to relate. The
bullet had sufficient force to pass into
the throat, up and out into the mouth
and knock out the teeth and did not
injure the throat badly. That wound
was n marvel. l."-Cincinnati Enquirer

SomethinG For Nothing.

The eargerness for stock market tips
in this speculative era does not abate,
and the swindling operator has only
to dangle the bait of Il big profit be-
fore the public to induce the latter to
shed their pocketbooks and all their
belongings. When will the public un-
derstand that reputable, well establish
ed brokers never condesceEd to such
disreputable gambling methods in or
der to attract custom? When will my
readers comprehend the fact that the

ducements and unreasonable rates of
interest or profits may be set down at
once as a suspicious person, from
waom one cannot escape too quickly?

About Timber Cutting.

By virtue of the power vested in
the Secretary Of the interior by the
act of March 3, 1891 [26 Stat, 1893 ].
the following rules and regulations
are hereby prescribed:
The act, SO far as it relates
to timber on pnblie lands, as ex-
tended by the act of February Is,
1898 (27 Stat, 444l applies only
to the States of Colorado, Montana,
Idaho, North Dakota South Dakota,
Wyoming, Nevada and Utah, and
the territories Of Arizona and New
Mexico. The act originally extern
ed to the District of Alaska, but in
that respect it has been superseded
by section II Of the act of May "A
1898 80 Stat, 4091 under which
other and separate regulations are
prescribed for the District Of Alaska.
2. The intention of the act OF
March 8, 1891, is to enable settlers
upon public lands and other resi-
dents within the States and Terri
tories above named to secure from
public timbe lands timber or lum-

inasmuch as they bring the institu-
uon directly before the people.
Institutes are planned and held by
the appropriate professors Of the
University. No less than fifteen OF
these have been held since July
1899. And it is estimated that the
attendance has been from I25 to
soc people and thus in the Is meet

come into direct contact with the
University. | simply give these
figures to indicate the great inhu-
ence. Of the Institution Of which
you, Mr.. Editor, are one Of the
most active regents.
It is to hoped that il the near flu
tl1re the state viii give It's schools a
Ladies Dormitory. Many young
ladies do not attend because they
have not this modern necessity in
connection with the school. Thus
the school must suffer for lack of
this. After this a new License
Building should follow at once.
Gen'l Chas. King who recently
commanded the Idaho Vol. and
Hon. Champ Clark Of Mo, have
been invited to deliver addresses at
commencement. These are rare
men and will doubtless attract peo-
pie far and near to hear them.
The summer school will begin
about July 1st for teachers and
others who cannot attend during
the regular term. Circulars will
be issued later. Tuition is free,
board 80 per week and 81 for room.
Every professor becomes person
ally attached to his pupils and takes
a great interest in them. This is
seen now in the active steps taken
by DR.. A. p. Miller, and others
like Prof. Frink in securing work
for all their respective students.
DIR. Miller has found more demand
than he can possibly supply. This
insures these young men wages at
the rate Of SO to IS per day all SUM
mer, thus giving them enough to
carry them over another years

CAN, But HAD
LARGE. ENTHUSIASTIC CROWDS.
OPENS ONE.DAY TOUR OF OHIO
AT TOLEDO AT ELEVEN THIS
MORNING.

DUNKIRK, n. Y, October 30.-W. ].
Bryan concluded the final day of his
last campaign tour in this city tonight.
He began the day at the town of Add
son and spoke at the following other
places: Hornellsville, Almond, Alfred,
Andover, Wellsyille, Belmont, Friend
ship, Cuba Hinsuale, Olean, Salaman-
ca, Randolph, jamestown and Dunkirk.
All these towns are in the southern
part of the State and all have been
strongly Republican in politics.
The meetings of the day were gener-
ally well attended and some of them
quite enthusiastic. Mr.. Bryan left late
tonight on the Lake Shore railroad
for Ohio, expecting to begin a one
day tour of that State with speech
at Toledo tomorrow morning at IL
o'clock. All told he had made about
10 speeches in this State.
Before leaving here tonight, Mr..
Bryan made brief statement giving
his impression of the situation in New

made can be taken as representing the
general sentiment throughout the
State we have more than an even
chance of carrying the State"

CARNEGIE MAY COMPETE
WITH THE SHEET TRUST.
SCHWAB REFUSES TO
CONFIRM OR DENY THE
REPORT,
DUQUESNE PLANT TO BE USED,
AND WILL BE READY FOR MAKING
SHEET STEEL WITHIN
SIX MONTHS.

PITTSBURG, Pa, October 3O.-A
story is published here to the effect
that the Carnegie Steel company in
tends to invade the sheet steel bust
ness by manufacturing this product
at their Duquesne works. 1t is said
that steel sheets will be turned out by
the Carnegie. company within six
months and that the plans for the
proposed works are being rushed un-
der the direction of President Schwab
Mr.. Schwab tonight declined to dis
cuss the matter and said he would
neither confirm nor deny the story.
If the Carnegie company should go
into the sheet business it will come
into competition with the sheet COM
bine, a concern organized nearly a
year ago, after several attempts had
proven failures. The combine is cap
italized at $52,000,0O0 and owns a
number of mills all over the country
the most important of which are the
Apollo iron and steel works at Van
dergrift. They formerly belonged to
the Apollo Iron and Steel Company of
Pittsburg. Among the most import
ant independent sheet plants are the
Whitaker Iron company, of Wheel
ing, and Tug & Company, Pittsburg.

FIVE MINERS KILLED
BY EXPLOSION Of CHS.
SIX OTHERS SEVERELY BURNED, OF
WHOM FIVE CAN HARDLY RE-
COVER.
THE AIR COURSE DIVERTED
BY AN E>MPLOYE. ALLOWED GAS TO
ACCUMULATE WE'RE MEN
WORKED.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, October 3d.
A heavy explosion of gas occurred in
No. slope of No. shaft of the Key
tone Coal Company at Edwardsville at
8 o'clock this afternoon in which five
men lost their lives and six others were
badly burned. Five of the six injured
are in a precarious condition and 1t is
doubtful if they can survive. The dead
are:
Peter Usavige, aged %, miner single;
Frank Mackalouski, aged %, laborer,
single; John Dolan, aged "a, miner,
single; Michael Gulawehous, miner,
married; Adam Waynales, miner mar
ried. Those believed to be fatally in
jured are: Michael Gatorski, Adam Lo-
toski; Andrew Ratoukiski; John Bucho
and David Evans.
When these men were brought to the
surface by the rescuers, the skin hung
in shreds from their bodies.
The work of rescue was dangerous,
as after damp" had accumulated
The first rescuing party went down
the mine and were driven back and
two men in the party had to be car
ried out. A number of physicians were
on hand and as fast as the injured were
brought to the surface their wounds
were dressed and they were sent to
the hospital or their homes.
The force of the explosion was so
great that it blew down a great section
of the roof. 1t was thought at first
that there were a number of men back
of the fall, but at o'clock tonight the
mine officials were of the opinion that
all of the men had been taken out
The accident was due to an employe
who diverted the air course unwilling
ly, and allowed the gas to accumulate
in the place where the men were at
work. The latter had been warned in
time to vacate the place but they did
not think they were in danger and went
on wleh their work. The explosion
soon followed. The disaster has cast
gloom over the little town as the
miners had just celebrated their end
ing of the long strike.

POPULATION BY STATES.

WASHINGTON, October 30.-The Of
fetal announcement of the total popu-
lation of the United States for 1900 is
76, 295, 22O, of which 1925 07 are con-
tanned in the 45 States representing
approximately the population to be
used for apportionment purposes. There
is a total of 134,15S Indians not taxed
The total population in 1890, with
which the aggregate population OF the
present census should be compared was
$1,000, 1855. Taking the 1890 population
as a basis there has been a gain in
population of 1925, asa during the past
ten years, representing an increase Of
nearly II per cent.
Following is the official announce
ment of the population of the United
States in 1900 by States. In the fig
ures the first column represents the
census for 1900 and the second for 1890,
and the third column when given rep
resents the number of Indians not
taxed
