HELPED THE REBELS
Colombian Claim Against Panama
 Railroad Co.

Colon. Colombia, Dec. 13.-The Por- venir of Cartagena. under date of De- cember s. contains strong article against the conduct of the Panama Railroad company during the recent Isthmian events. It says the aid rem dered by the company to the rebels was noticeable from the time the com pany allowed the armed force to board a train and attack Colon, which action on the company's part makes them alone responsible for the capture of Colon and the subsequent loss of life
 The paper adds that the government has already entered a formal protest and will claim indemnity for losses sus- tained and damage done.

QUAINT PHILOSOPHY
In an Advertisement.

When a man acts as he believes the Infinite within him would have him act, he draws power to himself from unseen sources; that power may be shown in many ways.
 Things work smoother, plans carry out. people begin to say, lucky" Ines a winner:'' everything he touches succeeds" etc, etc.
 Ever try it? If you ever do, you will agree that it is the greatest proposi- ton on earth
 There is a marvellous potency behind the man who acts in a simple, straight forward way. as near as he knows, in accordance with the promptings of that invisible Deity within.
 This should teach him that great and honorable work is ahead: Man at once the tool and a part of the master work man.
 The tool must not be duIled and ruined by bad food, tobacco, whiskey, coffee. etc, you question including cof- lee among bad habits" None of these habits are bad habits unless they weaken or lessen the clean cut power of the individual. If they do, quit them. If food and drink are not well selected, change. Put your machine in clean, hrst-class shape. It is the purpose of this article to suggest a way to keep eiie Douy well so IT can carry out the behest of the mind.
 sure and safe start in the right direction is to adopt Grape Nuts Food Tor every mornings breakfast. It is delicious, pre-digested, highly nourish- ing, and will put one far along toward dcing his best in slife's work.
 Follow this with abandonment of coffee, if it does not agree with you and take in place of it, Postum Cereal rood Coffee, for it's regenerating and Vitalizing nourishment
 With a wise selection of food and drink, man can quickly place himself m shape where the marvellous Directing Power will use him for some good and worthy purpose

HACKNEY HELD OVER
No Defense Offered in Preliminary
 Examination.

The preliminary examination of Nor: Hackney. charged with burglary, took place yesterday in Justice Burnett's court and the defendant was bound to the grand jury in the sum of $500. Hackney is charged with having broken into the holse of Mary E. Jones. near Five Points, last Monday evening and stolen lot of silver coins of Gen. tral and South American countries. which Mrs. Jones had been collecting during several years. Twenty of them were found in a pawnshop. where Hackney had sold them at the prevail ing price of old silver. 40 cents an ounce. realizing altogether s1-5O.
 No defense was offered at the exam inaticn. Hackney had previously ad- mitted that the coins were in his pos session and that he had sold them, but he said that he had found them in the road near Five Points.
 Mrs Jones testified to the disordered condition Of her house on 1er return to it on Monday night and the broken box in which she had kept the coins. The pawnbroker identified Hackney as the man who had sold him the coins and J. c. Martinez identified him as a man who had inquired of him on the even ing Of Monday where he could sell some old coins.
 There. was other evidence, though it was net necessary to introduce it for the purpose of the examination, calcu- lated to destroy the effect of Hackney's s story that he had found the coins. He was in town on horseback. The horses feet were of unusual size and the tracks were found leading to the Jones house. It was also found that the ami mad had been tied in the vicinity oi the house

GREAT SUN HALO SEEN.
Father Odenback Makes Important Ob-

Cleveland. Dec. 13.-A remarkable meteorological observation was made heer yesterday by Rev Frederick Oden- back, S. J., professor of physics in St. Ignatius college The observation was that of the great sun circle or halo of Hevelius. which has only been observed three times before.
 Preceding a period of low baro etric pressure. halos are often noticed about the sun. The commonest of these halos is one that appears at a distance of 22 degrees from the sun. An outer halo. al distance of 45 degrees. is also occa sionally noted. But the great halo of Hevelius. at a distance of 30 degrees, as observed by Father Odenbach, is d great rarity and hundreds of years may pass before it is observed again. The inner circle of 22 degrees was complete. portions of the AS degree circle were distinct. and the great circle of He velius was distinct for half of it's cir cumference

sMUGGLED FURs FROM CANADA.
Firm Sold Them to Americans to Be
 Delivered Free of Duty.

Washington, Dec. 13.-It is under stood at the treasury department that a number of persons who recently bought furs in Montreal. to be de livered to them in the United States at Canadian prices, have agreed to bunch their claims for compensation goods. and place them in the hands of an attorney. The Montreal firm sold the furs to Americans at Canadian prices. the understanding being that the customers should have the goods without being required to pay the du- ties. While the customers probably knew that the duty would not be paid the treasury department has no de sire to institute proceedings against them for smuggling, but it does not intend to give up the furs. even on the payment of the duties. The situation is, therefore. that the Montreal firm has the money. the United States gov ernmenr the furs and the American customers neither
 The attorney employed will bring suit in the Canadian courts against the Montreal firm if the money is not re- funded. Much of the smuggling was done over the Vermont border line. brakemen and other railroad employees hiding -he packages under the train serts and about the cars. and ex- pressing them from this side of the border. One of the smuggling brake men has been convicted and another is to be tried. About $40 coo worth of furs have been confscated.

THE RESULT OF ERRORS.
Fancy Prices Realized for Imper-
feet Stamps-The Collectors
Harvest

During the past winter a sheet OF
the common One-cent stamps, with
the word Guam printed across the
face, for use of the island, slipped
through the bureau with the word
''Guam" upside down. Just how many
of these stamps are in the hands of
collectors cannot be ascertained, but
they are held at fancy prices, and few
offer at any price, says the Washing
ton Star.
In 1878, when each department Of
the government service used its own
distinctive set of stamps, instead OF
the penalty envelope, an error was
made by the bank note company then
having the government contract for
postage stamps. The regular color of
the navy department stamps was blue,
and in some way a sheet of the two
cent denomination was printed in
green. These errors of color are held
at so each, while the same stamp
in correct color sells for about 40
cents.
A bank note company in printing the
Columbian series of stamps made a
similar error, a sheet Of the four-cent
fdlueg which was III uELEa-mdrluS
shade Of blue, having been printed IN
the steel-blue shade of the One-cent
value. The entire sheet was cap
tured by a stamp collector. Single
copies now sell at about $50 at auc-
ton.
Thus it viii appear that, should no
further errors be made In the Pan
American series, and the lapse of
time discloses that the six inverted
train stamps referred to are the only
ones in existence, they will be the
rarest OF all United States errors, and
tremendous prices may ultimately be
paid for them.
There is little doubt that many deal
ers would cheerfully pay $4,000 for a
sheet of inverted picture stamps.
There being six denominations, this
would figure up s12, 200 for the series.
Then an equal amount would be paid
for the series with the cOlors of the
border in various clOrs, making 80
additional combinations, or $4,000
total Of 1900 for few sheets Of
stamps costing the government less
than five dollars.

hela River Consolidated Coal and Coke
company, with its capital of S3O,OOO,-
600, are to be included In the greater
consolidation, brings the matter
strongly before Pittsburg coal opera
tors. The completion of this great
project Will mean the consolidation of

OLD CORN is SCARCE.
Doubtful if the West Was Ever So
Short Before.
The Total Amount of Last Seasons
Yield In Crib West Of the Mis-
sEssippE River Is Estimated
at 100000, 900 Bushels.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 31.-A careful
inquiry made among the leading farm
ing sections of this state and Nebras-
ka fails to show any considerable
amount Of old corn on hand.
It is considered by the best authori-
ties that not more than 100, OOO, 600
bushels of corn is held west of the
Mississippi river, and perhaps not so
much as this. The manager of an i'm
PoFtant grain company of this section
sums up the matter thus:
1T is very difficult, indeed, TO form
an intelligent opinion of the stock of
old corn in crib west Of the Mississippi
river In our opinion any such esti-
mate as a total supply of 600, OOO, 900
is mistake. We believe that 1OO, OOO,-
600 bushels would not be far out of
the way for the territory mentioned.
There is absolutely no way to approx
innate the amount. We merely ven
ture this as our opinion"
It is doubtful If the west was ever
50 short, comparatively speaking, as
1t is now, of corn for fattening stock

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 3.-While go
ing to Sunday school Sunday morning,
Ada Ware, a 16-year-old daughter Of
a farmer residing between Valley
Junction and Commerce, near this
city, was assaulted by a gang Of ne
groes and carried into the weeds,
where an attempt was made to rape
her. After most Of her clothing had
been torn from her body the girl es-
capped. Scratched and bleeding and
nearly naked, she ran to her fathers
home. about half a mile distant, and
told her parents Of the outrage. The
father, J. ". Ware, and his hired man,
without waiting for other assistance,
armed themselves with shotguns and
started on a search for the negroes.
Two eOlored men believed to be a
part Of the gang were found near the
Rock Island railroad tracks and taken
to the Valley Junction Jail by the
farmers. 1t was about noon when the
negroes were arrested. At two o'clock
Ada Ware went to the Jail and posi-
lively identified one OF them as her
assailant. He gives his name as Sey-
mOur Washington and is a stranger
to the community. He was taken be-
fore Justice Martin In the afternoon
and bound over to the grand jury to
await action on the charge Of rape.
