HARRISON'S GOOSE CASE.
Tried Under an Apple Tree, and the
Lawyer HItched Up His
Trousers.

Ex-President Harrison's death has
recalled an interesting incident in the
carly history of Johnson county, Ind.
The event, according to the Franklin
Star, took place in White River town
ship in August. 1858, and is interest
ingly related by James Collins, one
of the principals.
Berrin Reynolds owned large
flock of geese, and near him resided
Rev. j. II. Surface. The wandering
disposition of geese is well-known
fact The ganders of Mr.: Reynolds
flock were won't to stray away over
the fields and garden of Mr.. Surface.
This was very annoying to the min
lister. He patiently put up with the
trouble for some little time, but final
w patience ceased to be a virtue, and
ne decided to get rid of the trouble
some geese. One day he drove them
off into the woods, where they wan
dered away and were eaten by the
wild animals that infested the timber
in those early days
the outcome was sun Hleu pSioiO
Squire Abraham Miller by Mr.. Rey-
nolds, claiming damages. Mr.. Rey-
nolds' attorney was the late Col. s.
p. Oyler, and Rev. Mr.. Surface was
ably represented by the then young
but rising attorney, the late Gen.
Harrison. The trial took place under
an apple tree that Mr.. Collins says is
still standing. The trial was by jury.
Squire Miller, besides being justice
of the peace. was Lutheran preach
err. Mr.. Collins recalls the fact that
during the trial all were coatless'
that Gen. Harrison wore no suspend
ers. and during his argument before
the Jury would occasionally stop to
pull up his trousers. The jury dis

The dowager empress of Russia is
the possessor of the finest collection
of sables in the world. One of her
nantes, which she wears in winter
sledge drives and in travelling, has
lining worth $4,000. 1t was made OF
skins gathered for her by the gov

The experience Of the immense pres
sures obtained in cannon also led to
the use of pressures in steam machines,
which a few years ago would have
been regarded as impracticable. Thus
experiments intended primarily for
the purposes of war had resulted in
the advance of the triumphs of peace.

was noted housekeeper, but it is
said the wives of men around her did
not take kindly to their husbands con-

is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison
Ivy, and all noxious plants. 1t is COM
posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now
IS the time to get the poison out of your
system, as delay makes your condition
worse. Don't experiment longer with
salyes, washes and soaps-they never cure.
Mr.. S. NJ. Marshall, boolokeeper Of the Atlanta
(Ca.) Gas Light Co., was poisoned with Poison
oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other drugs, and applied externally numerous
lotions and saves with no benefit. At times the
swelling and Inflammation was so severe he was
almost blind. For eight years the poison would
break ont every season. His condition was much
improved after taking one bottle Of S. 5. s., ana
few bottles cleared his blood of the poison, ana
all evidences Of the disease disappeared.
People are often poisoned without
knowing when or how. Explain your case
fully to our physicians, and they VIII
cheerfully give such information and ad.
vice as you require, without charge, and
we will send at the same time an interest

Washington, Nov 21.-The annual re-
port OF Supervising Special Agent w. s.
Chance OF the treasury department. for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1901, shows
that the special agents have made 1913

ularities of about $450,000.
1t says that opium, Mexican drawn
work, clothing made 10y London tailors,
horses. cattle, wool, drugs and other ar
ticles have been smuggled, and that inn
portant arrests in connection Herewith

The report also states that after full
consideration tne collector of customs at
New York on March 1. 1901. effected re-
organization OF the systems of examina-
ton OF the baggage of passengers arriv-
ing from abroad and that gross irregu-
larities had been discovered, and as a
result duties collected on such baggage
between March 81 and July 1, 1901. We're
five times the amount collected from the
same source in the same months of 1900.
The special agent gives special atten-
ton to undervalua ton, and the report
invites those who have knowledge
thereof to call attention OF the secretary
of the treasury thereto
A changed law relating to informers'
compensation and protecting such in
formers from publicity is recommended.

IRON TRADE REVIEW
BUOYANT CONDITION OF MARKET
NOT PERMANENT.
PRODUCERS OPPOSE ADVANCE
Pig Iron Shows Strength During Week
in Spite of Efforts of Manufac-
turers to Contrary-Limit
Has Been Reached.
(By Associated Press. }


Cleveland, Ohio. Nov. 21.-The Iron
Trade Review, discussing market condi-
lions this week, says:
A buoyant iron market On tn. eve of
the quiet time Of year is an anomaly but
there are growing signs of condition
under which the market might readily
cut loose. The present week pig iron
has advanced, though important pro-
ducers have steadily opposed an adj
vance, and through the trade there has
been a feeling that the limit has been
reached. 1t is true to say that the
course of the market in the past three
months has been a general surprise ard
has contradicted the predictions of all
the trade oracles. Leading Southern in
tefestss were quoted only a few weeks
ago. after so cent advance in foundry
iron, as strongly opposing any further
increase in prices. but in the week. under
review prices have moved up so cents
and $11.50 at Birmingham is now the
minimum for No. 2 foundry Bessemer
iron, which has been relatively higher
than foundry grades, is in line with con-
ditions in steel has moved up still
higher and sales have been made in the
past at $3.50 Valley furnace.
Bessemer Iron Contract.
Inc purchase OF BeSSemef iron on
three months contracts by the United
Steel corporate ton is now under con-
sideration, and the demand on merchant
Bessemer furnaces from other sources
may lead to this change from the policy
Of buying month by month. The pig
iron statement for november l showing
reduction of $4,000 tons in October CO.
incident with an increase in output was
a surprise. It is now evident that with
the banking of central western fur
naces for lack of coke, the stock reduce
the valleys and the Pittsburg district
furnaces are taking their turn in wait
ing for coke and there will be alternat-
ing bank and starting for some weeks.
1t is estimated that $4,000 tons of Bes-
semer have been sold to various con-
sumers during the week as high as $3.50
at valley furnaces being paid. In adj
ditiOn 25,OUO tons at basic iron from an
Eastern furnace was bought at $15.75,
delivered at Pittsburg. For the first
time since 1899 Virginia iron has been
shipped into Northern Ohio. on a basis
of about $13 al the furnace for No. 2. In
the week some contracts for Connels-
vile furnace coke for the first half
oven, as against $1.75 for outside coke.
The steel situation grows no better, and
it is serious question with some buyers
of billets, sheet bars and slabs whether
they can secure a sufficient supply for
the operation Of their plants in the
next six months.
