The announcement of the sud-
den death of Robert @. Evans OF
Minneapolis, on Sunday morning
last, was a severe shock to his
thousands of friends in Minnesota,
all of whom feel deep sense of
personal bereavement. Greats
true-hearted Bob Evans! His death
is: public calamity. Stricken down
in the fullness of complete mental
vigor, and that of high order, at
a time when his influence and ex.
ample were potent factors in the
highest type of political life, the
commonwealth suffers deeply.
Open as the day, straight for
ward, guileless and yet shrewd. he
was man whose Judgment and
advice were accepted without hes
itation. He was but forty-seVen
years of age, and long career of
usefulness seemed assured him.
His peculiar virtues were never
more conspicuously displayed than
during the campaign for senator to
succeed G. K. Davis last winter.
In defeat he was the same dispas-
sionate, generous gentleman in his
bearing toward his competitor and
his supporters as he ever had been.
The fight was fair and open and no
one accepted results with more
genuine expression of good will
toward Mr.. Clapp, his opponent,
than did he. 1t is such trials of
manhood that affix an indelible
stamp. Truly, mature may stand
up and say to all the world: this
was a man."

Pussy Cat MS a Boxer.

A cat Is a natural boxer If you
watch two kittens rolling and tum-
bling about the floor. you will occa-
sionally see spirited passages of arms
between them. They will lead"
counter" block" duck" and 'rush."
"side' step's and. in fact. do all things
that your big brother does with his
boxing instructor at the gymnasium.
The kittens will do it great deal bet
ter. too. for they are much quicker and
more graceful. 1t may seem odd at
first for boy or girl to box with a
cat. but just tap her quietly with your
index finger. You may tap her once.
but not the second time. for she will
very neatly block your second attempt
with her paw. You must use only one
finger OF each hand and be very care
fal to just barely touch the cat Then
ycu must stroke her back occasionally
y: first to show that you are only play
!g with her and not angry. The cat
viii understand very quickly that you
are only in fun and>do not intend to
hurt Lei and will keep her claws out
Of sight, so as not to scratch you. un-
less she is a cranky old cat with very
sour temper. and If she Is you had bet
ter have her alone.
Of course you do not know much
about boxing, but you will learn great
deal from the cat If you watch the
manner in which she will handle her
paws. After the cat understands that
it is, only game and you have learned
how to lead and counter from watch
ing her you can have some pretty
bouts, which will amuse the whole
family and greatly help to shorten a
rainy day.

SAVED BY VICTIMS FATHER.
Determined Mob Gets After a Arkan-
sas Negro.

Fort Smith, Ark, Aug. 2S.-Louis
Smith, the 55-year-old negro whom a
crowd tried to reach in the county
Jail here Monday night, was saved
from lynching through the pleading
OF the father of Lucy Watson, the lit
tie white girl assaulted by Smith.
The assault was committed a week
ago but did not become generally
known until Monday night. AS the
news spread that the negro was con-
fined in the county Jail mob, com
posed principally of railroad employees,
started for the courthouse, where a
council was held as to the best means
Of obtaining possession of Smith. Be-
fore plan had been agreed upon Wat
son appeared and advised the mob to
permit the law to take it's course.
This unlocked for action on the part
of the father put a damper upon the
mob's intention. In the meantime
Smith was hurried by the police from
the fiimsey Jail to the federal prison.

Letter on Livery Business.

EDITOR HERALD.-FOr many years
Sank Centre stood in need of a good
hotel and a good livery stable. There
We're hotels and stables, to be sure,
but they were not what the city de-
manded. This summer both of these
demands have been met, and in way
to- give general satisfaction. Mr..
Palmer is getting his hotel nearly
done and it is an ornament to the
town. McGregor Bros. have put in a
first-class livery and are making it
better all the time. They are exper-
fenced men in the business and are an
xious to give satisfaction to their pa
irons. They know how to do it, and
have all the capital necessary. When
they came here they bought out an
old-established stable, but there was
nothing attractive about it. They
gave the owner his price, under, SOL
emn promise that he would not enter
Into the same business here, and went
on and spent their money and now
have a stable and rigs which are ad-
mired by all. With the other stables
then in business when they came they
are satisfied. They were here before
and are here now, and have their
friends and patrons. That is fair COM
petition and the McGregor Brothers
meet it pleasantly and in a kindly
spirit. But when the one who sold out
under such a promise goes into the
business TO buck them and get back the
business he sold to them, I think it is
time our people showed by their pat
ronage what they think of it. 1t takes
money to run a livery stable and
every dollar taken away from a mans
Legitimate trade helps by SO much to
push him down. 1t seems to me it is
our business to held build up the en-
terprises which are building up the
city. and for one, and have talked
with other business men in town who
feel just as do about it, propose to
stand by McGregor Brothers. 1 say
this In the interest of

Inspector Josey, Accused of Completely
in Chinese Smuggling.

Tucson. A. T., Aug. 2S.-B. F. Josey,
United States Chinese Inspector, was
accidentally killed at his home in this
city. Having heard disturbance
among his poultry he took shotgun
and went to- investigate. While he
was mounting a step ladder his gun
was prematurely discharged. The fact
that he was aecused of completely in
the Chinese smuggling at Nogales
AROUSED suspicious of suicide, but
these were absolutely dispelled by the
evidence brought out at the inquest.
Josey came from Americas, Ga, and
was appointed to, his position under

FOR THE CHILDREN
Cutting a Pear.

Tie a piece Of cotton thread to the
stem OF pear and by this means sus-
pend the pear from the chandelier. The
thread should rot be more than four or
five inches in length, as the pear should
hang as high as possible. Under it
place an uncovered table. Fill glass
with water and move 1t carefully and
gently UP under the pear until the lat
ter Is immersed. Be sure that you do
not touch the pear with the side Of the
glass, for 1t is necessary that it should
hang perfectly motionless.
Having thus immersed the pear,
gently take away the glass. when the
water that chung to the pear will fall to
the table in few drops. These drops
will be in a straight line from the CEN
ter Of the pear, and that Is the point
that you want.
Having done all this in secret and
put the glass out of sight, call the
company forward and tell them that
you are going to hold table knife in
our hand and make the pear fall on
it in such way that 1t will be cut
exactly into halves. This will seem to
them impossible, for they 70 not know
that the drops Of water have marked
the place where you are to hold the
knife blade. When you are ready, get
some one to apply lighted match to
the thread above the pear. and the lat
ter will fall squarely on the knife.
You may divide the pear into quar-.
tiers by holding two knife blades cross
ed at right angles over the spot mark
ed by the drops Of water. Sharp steel
knives are the best to use

AN ILLEGAL POOL
DECISION Against A MEMBER
OF THE. TRUNK LINE AS
socIATIoN.
NOT ENTITLED TO REDRESS

Court Finds the Lackawanna Railway
Has Good Case Against Ticket
Brokers but, Belonging to a Com.
bine in Violation of Law, the Road
Has No Standing Under the Law.
Temporary Injunction Dissolved.
Buffalo, Aug. 2S.-The application OF
Me Lackawanna Railway company for
an injunction restraining 81 ticket
brokers doing business in Buffalo,
from dealing in special Pan-American
excursion ticket of that road, has
been denied by Judge Hazel of the
United States circuit court and the or
der granted some time ago restrain
ing such sale during the argument Of
the case has been vacated. The court
in the decision handed down, holds
that the railroad company has the
right to make special contracts with
individual purchasers of tickets and
that the purchasers cannot violate
such contracts by selling their tickets
and it also overrules the point of lack
of jurisdiction raised by the defend
ants counsel. On the other hand 1t
denies the application for an injunc-
ton because the LackaWanna is a
member of the Trunk Line association,
known as the pool" which combines
to fix rates in violation of the law and,
therefore, is not entitled to redress,in
an equity court.
''"The complainant must, therefore,
be relegated to its remedies at. law
says the court in the last paragraph of
the decision, "and the Injunction is
vacated"

Health and Beauty.

A Russian physician holds that the
electric light is the least injurious to
the eyes and that candle light is the
most harmful. He states that the
oftener the lids are closed the greater
the fatigue and consequent injury. AS
a result of his experiments he compiled
the following table showing the num-
Der Of times a minute the lids were
closed with different Nominations:
Candle light, GAS; gas, 2.4-5; sun,
2.1-5; electric, LAB.
To keep the hands nice, cleanliness
is the first essential and, therefore,
when rough work has to be done it is
well, if possible, to put on gloves. Pre-
vention is better than cure, and as
nothing spoils the hands like getting
them grimed it should be avoided as
far as possible. When this occurs how
ever, don't go to work upon them with
soar and a brush. Instead, take some
vaseline or oil and rub it into the
hands and then wash them thoroughly
with a good toilet soap and a piece OF
flannel in warm water. The flannel
will soon clean them and without in
juring the skin in any way. 1t is far
better than a nail brush for ordinary
use and If used regularly a nail brush
will be found almost. If not entirely,
superf1uous.
Those who are sedentary, s%tudious,
debilitated and sickly are, with few
exceptions, those who are the earliest
visited with gray hair. The agricul-
tural laborer, the seaman and all
whose employment consists of or in
wolves exercise in the open air and
whose diet is necessarily simple, are
those whose hair latest affords signs
that the last process has commenced
that the fluid have commenced to be
absorbed, the textures to dry up an6
become Withered. All whose employ.
ment renders much sitting necessary
and little OF no exercise possible; al
who, from whatever cause, have loca
determination of blood, particularly i
toward the head, are the persons mos
liable to carry gray hairs. 1t is wei
known that mental emotions and VIC
lent passions have in a night made thu
hair gray. Instances of this are nu
merous. They are in the same wa,
to be understood and explained. The.
are owing to the increased determine
ton of blood, stimulating the absorb
ents into preternatural activity AM
causing them to take up the colorini
matter of the hair.
