A dispatch from Hastings, Neb., to
the Journal of Lincoln told this thrill
ing tale the other day: "a genuine
tornado tore things up in lively way
between Juniata and Hastings late this
afternoon. While a Burlington freight
train was coming into Hastings from
Juniata tho wind picked up n large
barn and carried it straight toward
the train for u distance of over 100
yards The engineer saw his peril, put
on full steam, and an exciting race fol-
lowed, but the wind changed its course
before reaching the track. People OF
Hastings saw tho approach of the
twister and sought places Of safety.
The barn was torn into kindling
wood"

The big prices the United States gov

breeders and dealers look blue over
their lack Of foresight A few years
ago when the bicycle fever caught the
people, the horse breeders threw up
their hands in despair, and fell in line
with the other wiseacre prophets who
chimed about the passing of the
horse, and like rot, until your ear
ached. They stopped breeding sold off
their stock, grimly sat down to await
the inevitable crash, and to witness
with fearful eyes the aforesaid pass
ing"
But the horse refused TO be passed,
and baked. There were two or three
years or stagnation. Then the clouds
of war between this country and Spain
gathered, and with them came an in
creased demand for horses and mules.
This demand steadily increased, and
former breeders and farmers found
themselves unprepared to meet 1t. The
~ $500 vi 'aAN BasoAAA6 Va NAD AAOA ~
proved iridescent. Following the Span
ish war came the war in the Transvaal,
and the demand, already stimulated,
increased to unprecedented proper
tions. Mule breeders and horse rails
ers found themselves objects of tender
solicitude on the part of the agents OF
the British empire. And now to cap
the climax comes the army reorganiza-
ton bill, with its provision for the
new regiments of cavalry, and no
abundant supply of horses for the cav
alrymen. These regiments must be
placed in commission at once, and
horses are an imperative prerequisite.
Following in the wake of the agents Of
Great Britain are the agents Of the
War Department, who are literally
begging suitable mounts at the for
merly un-hea-d-of price OF SIPS and
$3.50 each, as against $40 and $50, a
few years ago. If the present demand
for horses keeps up good cavalry
mounts will go up to $500 each.

Mr.. McKln,er krlt. sl,rper..

A recent visitor at the White House
found the wife Of the President busy
as usual knitting the wooden tops to
slipper soles. A pleasant protest
that the first lady OF the land should
so steadily employ herself was well
answered. Why shouldn't she knit
the slippers? IL was about all sho
could do in her state of health. Per-
haps the good accomplished was more
than the caller appreciated. And then
the gentle lady told with undisguised
satisfaction of the sale of a pair OF
her slippers at New England fair for
a good purpose. The slippers had
brought $3.50, which had gone for TIC
benefit of the cause.

A Cir. Unnatural Crime.

The amazing depravity of an Albany
girl named Emily Weeks. % years OF
age, is responsible for her incarcera-
ton in the county JAIL charged with a
most unnatural offense. To prevent
her mother discovering forgeries
amounting to $1,000 which she had per-
petraled by the use of her mothers
name, she threw carbolic acid into her
face, almost binding her. The Albany
County bank has preferred a charge of
forgery against her. The girl took the
money so that she might give it to a
fellow named Williams with whom she
is infatuated and who was confined in
a hospital undergoing an operation.
She says that she was introduced to
williams by Mrs. Catherine LEIGHTON,
who employed her, and that the latter
induced her TO draw the money from
the bank, telling her she had as much
right to it as her mother Mrs. Leigh
ton has been arrested as an accessory.

attitude is that of contempt for any
beings or institutions not evolved in
China, the japanese are eager to- know
of everything connected with our form
of civilization, and TO adopt it If it is
good. Sometimes their great receptive
ness and power of imitation and adop-
ticn lead them to adopt innovations
which they afterward find it wiser to
discard. Hence the accusation of tickle
ness. A perusal of Japanese history
shows that the people have ever pro-
crossed by impulses. by action and re-
action, and that in the end good judy

America is probably Marion Longino,
six years old, and the son of the COVER
nor of Mississippi. A week or more
ago he startled his parents by telling
them that he was tired loafing and
wanted to go to work to make some
money for himself" To humor him.
his father told him to go ahead and
get job, thinking that would be the
last of it. The youngster walked up
to the Western Union Telegraph Office

Water Cure for stin Muscles.

The simplest temporary cure for a
stiff neck or any similar attack of the
muscles, says a physician,. is a free
drinking of water. A large glass full
of water every half hour, or even Of
tener, should be taken, and the treat
ment kept up for at least half day.
This, it must be remembered. only
cures the effects, and unless it is kept
up for long time will hardly get at
the cause. which is now generally I'M
derstood TO be an excess of uric acid in
the blood. The use of a very large
amount of water has tendency TO
dilute the blood and increase the sup
ply of the lubricants about the sheaths
of the muscles. II is the deficiency OF
those lubricants that produces what
are known as stiff necks, stiff should
ers and the like.

Sometimes there is money in writing
books and sometimes there isn't. as
this extract from the Book World will
show:
"An offer Of 100000 has been made
10y London publisher to Lord Rob-
erts for a history of the Transvaal
war, all offer which will probably be
declined. as the sword, rather than the
pen, is Lord Roberts weapon.
THE most liberal offer ever made
by publisher was that Of an Ameri-
can firm to Gladstone. 1t was a pro-
posal for short series of articles, %
OF $500 words each, for which $25 1000
was offered. To Jay Gould was offered
$4,000 and a royalty of 40 per cent for
a volume of "reminiscences written by
himself, with a stenographer's help in
the bargain; an offer which he did not
accept. His one book, History Of Del
aware County, n. Y, never had large
sale, but at auction, few years ago, a
copy brought $40. In striking contrast
to these large sums. which. however,
existed only on paper. is the check for

the saloons for warmth and light and

obligation, would he content with tenn

Important Law III NEW iOlh ~
Regulate 1t.
The act which was passed by the le-
gislature last winter and signed by the
governor will make extensive changes
speedily with regard to the methods
employed in drug shops in tins state
Almost every issue of the tally news
papers contains accounts o. suicides IN
which carbolic acids, arsenic, paris
green or some other kind of poison has
been swallowed, and it is indisputable
that in most cases the self-murderers
have had no difficulty in buying at drug
stores the deadly stuff which they used.
Moreover the proofs have been album
dant that the precautions generally In
use to limit the sale of dangerous COM
pounds have been insufficient and that
the provisions of the penal code have
been disregarded in lamentable num-
Der of instances. In almost every city
in the state the competition between
apothecaries has been intense, and 1t
is plain that thousands of the owners OF
the chemists shops have been hard put
to it to pay their rentals and earn "a
livelihood. Therefore it may not be
surprising that the provisions of the
laws previously in existence have often
been neglected.
But the state board of pharmacy,
which will take up the regulation of
the selling of medicines, the filling OF
prescriptions and the traffic in acids
and poisons, may be expected to en-
force restraints which will lessen the
mournful record of suicides and will
decrease the frequency of unfortunate
mistakes in prescriptions. This is a
matter of vital Importance In every
community. 1t was said long ago that
the blunders of lawyers were on the
surface and open to the common know
ledge, but that the errors of doctors and
drug clerks were hidden in the grave
