Ing.


ing.
The announcement from Green
vile, Tenn, that Mrs. Martha
Johnson Patterson, the only child
of Andrew Johnson, is critically
i'll at her home there and is not
expected to live revives public in
terest in a woman who once filed
the highest social position an
American woman can occupy.
Mrs. Patterson is the eldest
daughter of President johnson
and the sole survivor Of his i'm
mediate family. In her girlhood
Miss johnson was accounted a
great beauty, and those who knew
her in her prime, when, owing to
the illness of her mother, she as
sumed the duties of mistress Of
the White House, remember her
as a woman of most agreeable
presence, great social cordially
and one of the most popular mis-
tresses Of the Presidential Man
sion.
When Mrs. Patterson first as
sumed direction of domestic af-
fairs at the White House she
found the historic mansion in 3
greatly disordered and neglected
condition. She at once proceeded
to restore it to a condition worthy
, of it's purpose. She took especial
in4erest in the Conservatives anc
was the first mistress of the White
House who opened the conserva-
tories and parlors to the public
irrespective of days.
At her fathers death Mrs
Patterson retired to the An

mansion, where she was born.

Uncle Paul Kruger's preparation
for $1,000 more English prisoners in
amusement whatever, and the fun
ny papers, instead of being funny
about it, are angry. There was a
time when such preparation would
have caused even the London
Times and the Saturday Review to
become humorous. but things have
happened since then, and it is quite
in order for the British public to
hope that the preparation is com
plete enough to insure the prisoners
| all possible care and comforts.
The refusal of a Bostan faith
curist and Christian Scientist, a
Mrs. Goodall, to treat a woman
whose foot was crushed in an acct
dent, is creating a sensation in the
Hub which is gradually spreading
all over the country and causing the
opponents Of the healers to take
fresh courage. The surprise is not
lessened by the fact that the would
be patient was a new convert to the
faith and amply able and willing to
pay. Mrs. GoodalI in refusing the
case is understood to have said that
Christian Science healing did not
include surgical cases.
Sir Benjamin Vests picture,
''The Raising Of Lazarus" which
hung in Winchester Cathedral, Eng
land, for over a century, is said to
have been purchased for New York's
new Cathedral of st. john the Di-
vine for $500. The trustees of the
cathedral say they know nothing
about the purchase and believe, il
the story is true, that some friend
intends to donate the picture. West,
who was born in Pennsylvania in
1913, was among the first American
artists to appear in Rome. He sue
ceeded Sir Joshua Reynolds as pres
ident of the Royal Academy.
Secretary Gage has taken a leaf
from history and replied to his crit
les by tossing to them a bundle Of
one thousand letters from all classes
and conditions of fnanciers and pol
iticians. 1t wasn't necessary for him
to do this; but he evidently believed
that the Republican party was
about to make a scapegoat of him
and decided with reynard-like as
tuteness to compel several leaders
of the party to make MS quarre
their own. It is an old trick and its
lesson is to enforce courage. Every
boy remembers the great Douglas
in the face of defeat, hurled tn
heart Of Bruce into the ranks of the
Moors as an incentive to his follow
ers to make another rally for tn
recovery of the priceless relic.

AFTER BANK ROBBERS.
Posse of Citizens Pursuing Gang
Which Blew Open "A Safe at
silver Lake, Ind.

Rochester, Ind, Jan. 2O.-The Com
mercial bank at Silver Lake, ,Kosciosko
county, was Thursday night robbed by
burglars of $4,000. Five charges of
nitroglycerin were used to open the
safe. The robbers shot their way
through posse of citizens and went to
North Manchester on hand car. Will
liam Price, a clerk, was severely
wounded while trying to stop the rob-
bers. One of the robbers cried: I'm
shot," but all got away with others.
Just before noon the posse was report
ed IS miles behind the gang at Column
bia City. The robbers are believed to
be the same that have been commit
ting many depredatious in northern
Indiana.
The bank carried insurance in the
Fidelity and Casualty company, of New
York, for $4,000, which will cover the
loss of money.
Bloomington, Ind, Jan. 20.--The
bank of Elletsville. ten miles north of
here. was robbed between one and two
o'clock Friday morning. 1t is report
ed that the sum taken was $500.

TO SPEND 100000
The @. Road Will Make Big I'm
provements in Iowa.

Burlington, Jan 22.--"The Murray
and Creston Railroad Company" has
filed articles of incorporation with
the county recorder, with capital
stock of 50, 900.
Though the articles are very similar
to those filed the day previous, they
are far more important, as they COW
er not the work already done by the
Burlington in Iowa, but that planned
for 1900, 1t is the intention of the
c., B. & Q. to spend 50, 900, 900 in i'm
provements in Iowa this year, and
the filing of the articles yesterday is
only a substantial confederation of
the rumors circulated the past few
days of the contemplated plans of the
Burlington. The greater part of this
work is to be done between Murray
and Creston, and is in all likelihood
a furtherance of the intention of the
Burlington to lay double track
across the entire state of Iowa. New
bridges will also be built wherever
necessary, and by the end of this
year the Burlington big Glass III en-
gines will be making mile minute
on an air line from Chicago to Omaha.

Oes Moines, the week of August 81.
The directors have strengthened
5he premium list in every depart
ment and have added from $500 to
$500 to the premiums in every depart
ment. They have also decided to
make numerous changes in improve
ments about the grounds, besides
the erection of the auditorium and
stock pavilion. The walks and road
especially will be improved and it
will be made possible to get about
in wet weather without becoming
mired. This auditorium and stock
pavilion will be paying investment.
1t will be used for stock sales through
out the year. 1t looks as. if the State
Agricultural Society had established
itself upon firm foundation. 1t will
ask no help from the legislature this
winter, as it is in good shape to take
care of itself. AS was generally ex-
pected, Secretary VanHouten was re-
elected, having been a livery salts
factory official during the year he
has been in office.
