All last Monday night young Spinney's
life was ~despaired OF. The drug had no
effect upon his mind. but the injection Of
morphine nearly stopped the action OF the
heart altogether. 1t futtered weakly all
night. and there was hardly enough

dawn his father and brother walked him
mercilessly up and down the floor. pound
ing him with shingles to keep up the cir
culation At daylight the action OF the
drug wore itself out and the physician
had the satisfaction OF going home know
ing that the mysterious patient would live
another day at least.
Tuesday night a much lighter dose of
morphine was given him. and he seemed
to rest all right. but II was believed he
did not become unconscious. His mind

Puttee Paralysis the
Newest War Disease

In soldiers invaded home from the
Boer wal a new disease has been discoy-
cred. to which the doctors have given
the name of "puttee paralysis" Instead
of wearing leggings In South Africa many
officers and solliers wore strips of cloth
called "puttees' wound around the lower
leg. These, being boun6 tight. seem in
some cases, to have pressed upon certain
nerves. ana when the men became weak
from fever a paralysis of the feet and
toes resulted. At first the disease was
called "enteric feet" as 1t generally APP
peared In men who were recovering from
enteric or typhoid fever. Upon investi-
CATION, however, 1t was found that the
primary cause of the disease was the
puttee, so 1t became 'puttee paralysis"
The long marches, the tense movements
of the legs. especially when infantry sor-
diers were mounted, and the uneven
pressure OF the puttees caused such a
condition of things the disease could ea--
lily be accounted for. Hereafter leggings
will probably never be abandoned for
puttees.

Labor. It's cost and kind, Is an lmpor-
tant factor In the future development OF
Siberia's mineral wealth. Prices paid for
labor In Russia and Siberia are exceed
ingly low-from IL cents a day in the re-
gion OF the Southern Trails, where much
grain IL raised and where the country
Is thickly settled, to S1.5O a day in North
ern and Eastern Siberia, In the regions
or intense cold, and where the mines are
remote from the sources of supply. In
all cases the laborers feed themselves.
The reason of the cheapness of mining
labor in Siberia Is that the wants of the
people are few. The workmen are Of the
peasant class. and It may be said that
the larger proportion of them can neither
read nor write. Their food consists of
mutton. black bread, domestic fowls,
gigs. milk and tea. Most Of the neces-
saries OF life are supplied by their own
farms or gardens. and their purchases,
besides tea, g and vodka Cthe ma
tional stlmulant), are few. Their clothes
cost little, and their enjoyments are usu-
ally limited to the celebration of the nu-
merous civil n religious holidays by
mutual visiting and the consumption. in
greater or less quantities, of vodka. In
no country can be found men who more
cheerfully sustain the hard labor. priva-

p. m in the formally expressed opinion
that Jester is innocent
This famous trial, which has now been
brought to close, is perhaps without a
parallel. Alexander Jester was charged
with the murder of boy companion, Gil
bert Gates, near Paris, Mo-, in 1871.
In the testimony given by Azel A,
Gates. father of the murdered boy, were
the allegations upon which the State de-
pended for conviction. Briefly, they were
these: Early in the fall of 1870 Gilbert
Gates left his home in West Chicago up
on a hunting trip through Missouri.
While travelling he was met by Jester
The pair were seen together, and then
Jester appeared alone with two teams
one of them his own and the other that
belonging to the missing boy.
Mr.. Gates traced Jester and his son
through Missouri until all track of the
boy vanished. Then he followed Jester
into Illinois, and satisfied himself that
young Gates had been foully dealt with.
A few weeks later Jester was arrested
in Kansas, and young Gates property
was found upon him. he was taken to

ATTACK ON THE SHAH
LIFE OF PERSlA'S RULER At
TEMPTED IN PARIS.
Assassin Uses Cane, Knife and Re.
voIver in Effort to KiiI-Evidence of
Plot to Murder Another of the
Old World Monarchs.

An attempt on the life of the Shah OF
Persia, Muzaffer-ed-Din, was made IN
Paris Thursday morning, but luckily it
resulted in no harm to his majesty AS
the Shah, accompanied by his grand Vi
zier, was driving in a landau, young
man jumped from out of crowd OF by
ISLANDERS and before any one knew what
he was about, he raised a cane and aimed
a blow at the head of the Shah. his
majesty showed wonderful presence OF
mind, jumped to his feet and at the same
time stretching out his right arm, broke
the force of the blow. The would-be MUIR
derer instantly coolly thrust his other
hand under his coat and from the folds
of his shirt he pulled out long. gleam-
ing knife and quickly made thrust at
the Shah with this weapon.
The grand vizier. the detectives and po-
lice, by this time getting over the sur
prise of the suddenness of this dastardly
act, pounced on the assassin, overpower-
ed and disarmed him. In the scuftle that
followed a revolver fell to the floor of the
carriage. According to one policeman,
who arrested the assassin, the revolver
belonged to the murderer. According to
others it belonged to the grand vizier,
who, in drawing it from his pocket, had
it knocked out of his hand during the
scuffle. The whole thing took less than
a minute and bore all the evidence of
being well planned beforehand.
A crowd of 500 people, who witnessed
the attempted assassination, made rush
toward the would-be murderer and tried
to attack him, but there were many po-
lice in the neighborhood acting as guards
of the Shah, and these prevented the mob
from doing violence to the miscreant. The
prisoner was taken to the police station.

GIRLS In THE WHEAT FIELDS
Young Women of Kansas Earned Big
Sums Harvesting Crops.

Young Women of Kansas Earned Big
Sums Harvesting Crops.
Hundreds Of Kansas girls now have
q pocketbook full Of new, crisp money
as result of three weeks work in the
harvest fields this summer. Many of
them have earned enough to buy their
winter clothes. There is no way to tell
the exact number Of girls who were en-
ployed in the wheat fields this year, but
from the numerous notices of town girls
going out to do harvest work, as con-
tanned in the local newspapers OF the
State, it is believed that no less than
5OO women were thus employed. Inc
work is easy, and the pay is 81 per day.
They can sit on binder or mower, shock
wheat or rake hay. just as the farmers
may wish. The days work is from sun
to sun. and the men treat them with
great respect and courtesy. But the girls
Will not allow the men to relieve them OF
their share of the work. Eighteen young
women from Mcpherson this year went
into the fields and earned enough money
plowlng and harvesting to take them on
trip to the Atlantic coast, at which
place they are now. Other girls nave
earned enough to send them to school this
winter, and many more have spent their
money for fine clothes and jewelry. Inc
daughters of the farmers do not work
in the fields so much as do the town
girls, who go out during the summer TO
make little vacation money. The mar
vesting is now over, but many girls may
be seen running ploWs.
