A file of men were called, and tho
mysterious stranger was carried up
to the residence of the English Off
GERS. It was plain to the least OBJ
servant that he was in very serious
condition. Such clothes as he pos
sessed were in rags; his face was
pinched with starvation, and more
over he was quite unconscious.
When his bearers, accompanied by
the two Engishmen, reached the
cluster of huts, he was carried to
small room at the end of the officers
bungalow and placed upon the bed.
After a little brandy had been adj
ministered, he recovered conscious
ness and looked about him. Heav-
ing sigh of relief, he inquired
where he might be.
"You are at Nampoung," said
Gregory, sand you ought to thank
your stars that you are not in King

it, you have been. We won't ask you
for your story now; however, later

cloth, and trimmed further with mo-
tifs of the same on collar and cuffs
The hat in the same picture is one Of
the fashionable fat shapes of the
summer, and is trimmed with lace
and cherries.
Crepe de chine is one of the most
fashionable materials for summer
dresses for smart occasions. Any
quantity of lace may be OVERLAND or
inserted, Or motifs of the same dain-
ty adornment placed at intervals
are fashionable. Wolfe, transparent
enough to show the glimmer of silk
en- lining, is another great favorite.
There is a certain dark blue voile, Of
a metallic tint, which is worn over
green glace with excellent effect. A
delicate pale yellow voile was laid
over a brighter yellow glace; the
narrowly over a center vest of plait-
ed cream chiffon. The rest of the
bodice was laid in tucks, divided by
lines of silk braid in the palest corn
color; and the skirt was decorated
with tucks and lines of braid that
continued on, to all appearance, from
those on the corsage. The fact that
there was a junction was concealed
by deep belt of glace stitched many
times, and position basque was
also constructed of the glace, stitch
ed, tucked and striped with braid. A
yoke collar of guipure lace harmon
lied with a strip of similar lace as a
heading to the shaped founce that
footed the skirt.
Foulard is again worn a good deal,
the satinfaced variety monopolizing
favor. Embroidered lawn is a good
trimming for foulard, but here as
elsewhere lace comes first.
The newest collars are of lace laid
on chene silk, the blurred patterns OF
the fabric showing between the inter-

stices of the lace; and this makes a
good finish to a foulard frock, taking
care that the colors are harmonious.
More airy fabrics are used under
various fanciful names. One is be-
Digit satin crepe de chine, another
crepe mousseline. Many of the finest
silks and satins, too, are used simply
as under-dresses for yelling with net,
silk, muslin or lace. True it is that
this yelling is so diaphanous-Gsually
only one thickness of very delicate
covering-that the lovely material be-
meath is no more hidden thereby than
is the cheek of beauty by her light
film of tulle when she walks in the
park. In each case it is not conceal
ment, but enhancement, that is OBJ
tanned. Lace is less used now for the
complete covering of the silk or sat-
in gowns than net of the very finest
kind. The best net employed is
called "flet dentelle''-that is to say,
the net groundwork on which lace
motifs might be applique. On this,
for fine toilette, there is placed en-
broidery work in silk, or chiffon and
ribbon applique, or pearls and Sc
quins are lightly scattered about.

frontier station of Nampoung. In
the river below there is a ford,
which has a distinguished claim
on fame, inasmuch as it is one
of the gateways from Burmah
into western China. This ford is
guarded continually by a company
of Sikhs, under the command of an
English officer. To be candid, it is
not post that is much sought after.
It's dullness is extra ordinary. True,
one can fish there from morning un-

one has the good fortune to be bot

open for study. 1t is also true that
Nampoung is only 80 miles or so, as
the crow flies, from Bhamo, and when
one has been in the wilds, and out
of touch of civilization for months
at time, Bhamo is by no means a
place to be despised. So thought
Gregory, of the One Hundred and
Twenty-third regiment, as he threw
his line into the pool below him.

said to himself, as he looked at the
ford hundred yards or SO to his

into China. After that he glanced
behind him at the little cluster of
buildings on the hill, and groaned

Trout fishing has just begun, and

GETS IT IN TIE NECK
Engineer Survives Probably an I'm
precedented Wound With q
Broom Handle. ~
New York Sun spsolas Services

Stony Greek, N. Y, Feb. 18.-When
Clark Trip gets back to work at his post
as engineer in A. D. Scribner's steam mill
in this village he will undoubtedly be the
first man who ever had broomst1ck
damned through his neck from one side
to the other and lived to tell about it.
One day last week Trip was sweeping
the floor about his engine. A piece Of
the broom handle had been split off at the
end, leaving beveled spot six or seven
inches long, the tip end being quite sharp.
AS Trip was sweeping the swiftly re-
volving wheel of the engine caught the
broom and hurled it upward so that the
sharp point Of the handle end struck the
engineer in the right side of the neck
and forced it all the way through that
side backward and upward until it came
out back of the ear, where the handle
projected an inch or more. In passing
through the neck the broom handle grazed
the windpipe ..-.
Grasping the broom. by great effort,
Trip pulled the handle out of his neck
and shut down the engine. This rare
nerve and presence of mind saved his life.
The stopping of the machinery at ian I'M
usual hour was signal to others in the
mill that something was wrong. num-
Der Of the mill hands hurried to the en-
CINE room. Trip lay unconscious on the
floor blood pouring from the ragged
wound in his neck. Surgical aid was soon
at hand Trip recovered consciousness

causes the mucous membrane surfaces
to suffer accordingly. This is the condi-
ton called systemic catarrh. It very
nearly resembles, and there really is no
practical difference, between this condi-
ton and the condition known as neuras-
thenia, or nervous prostration.
Peruna will be found to effect an i'm
mediate and lasting cure in all cases Of
systemic catarrh. 1t acts quickly and
bene1cially on the diseased mucous mem
branes, and with healthy mucous mem
branes the catarrh can no longer exist.
Peruna a True Friend to Women.
Mrs w. B. Krause, wife Of the pub
Usher Of the Port Washington, Herald,
writes from Port Washington Wis:
Z "Peruna has cured my catarrh and the
suffering which 1 had in my back and
bearing down pains. I am very thankful
for Peruna, as it has cured me where
other medicines have failed. l always
will speak good word for Peruna. -
Mrs. w. B. Krause. - .s
Peruna Is equally eff1cacious in curing
catarrh Of the throat as in curing sys-
temic catarrh or catarrh of the stomach.
Catarrh is essentially the same where
ever located. Peruna cures catarrh.
Peruna Makes You Feel Like a New
= Miss Marie Coats, a popular young
woman of Appleton, Wis, and president
of the Appleton Young Ladies' Club also
speaks in glowing terms of Peruna. A
letter recently received from her by The
Peruna Medicine Company, of Columbus,
Ohio, reads as follows:
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-02-19

IT am glad to call the attention of my
friends to Peruna. When that languid,
tired feeling comes over you, and your
food no longer tastes good, and small
annoyances irritate you, Peruna will make
you feel like another person inside of
week.
Il have now used it for three seasons,
and find it very valuable and eff1cacious."
Miss Marie Coats.
Diseased nerves are traceable directly
to poor digestion, and poor digestion is
directly traceable to catarrh. With the
slightest catarrh of the stomach no one
can have good digestion.
Very few of the many women who have
catarrh Of the stomach suspect what their
real trouble is. They know they belch
after meals, have sour stomach, sensa
ton of weight or heaviness, fullness,
irregular appetite, drowsiness, gnawing,
empty sensations, occasional pain-tney
all know this; but they do not know that
their trouble is catarrh of the stomach.
If they did they would take Peruna.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located
AS soon as Peruna removes catarrh from
the stomach the digestion becomes coed,
appetite regular, nerves strong, and
trouble vanishes. Peruna strengthens
weak nerves. not by temporarily stimu-
lating them, but by removing the cause of
weak nerves-poor digestion This is the
| only cure that lasts. Remove the cause;
Nature will do the rest. Peruna removes
the cause.

MAKING A NEW MINE.
Cleveland Cliffs Work at Negaunee
Attracting Wide Attention
MAS PROPERTY FROM FARM LAND
Destined, Ills Believed, to Become
.. One of the Greatest Mines
in the District.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal. H.
Negaunee, Mich, Feb. 19.-The opening
OF the first shaft at the Cleveland-Cliffs
Iron company property here, known as the
Mas mine, is attracting the attention of
every prominent mining man in the Lake
Superior district. The methods to be en-
ployed in sinking the shaft are new to
many. The first bucket of dirt was raised
last week, and since then the timber has
moved downward at the rate Of about
eight feet in every twentyfour hours.
1t is not often that the sinking of shafts
by the drop system is necessary in this
region. This practice is resorted to only
where ,quicksand and water may trouble.
The difficult part of the work will start
when the shaft has attained a depth OF
siXty-fve feet. The ledge is 1913 feet from
the surface, though the thirty feet imme-
dately above the ledge is bed of clay
The system of dropping the timber and
placing it in position so it will stand in
tact is what attracts the most attention.
The scene Of operations was visited by
mining men from every range in the dis
trict, while the preparations of the timber
for the shaft was in progress. Steel
shoes, two feet in length, and weighing
6,400 pounds, are attached to the outside
of the lower set Of timbers. 1t is ex-
pected these will serve to excellent ad-
vantage In cutting through the quicksand.
The shaft is provided with four COM
partments, two for skips, one for cage and
one for ladder and pipeway. The timber
used is the best to be had in the United
States. An enormous sum of money will
have been expended before the first load
Of ore comes to the surface. The loca-
ton of second shaft will be determined
in the next few weeks, though work upon
it will not be started until after the first
shaft is driven to the ledge.
Pumps that will remove 1000 gallons
Of water a minute are being installed in
the new. shaft. AS fast as the water is
raised, it will pass to launder, which
will carry it to the Carp river, about
a mile distant. Hs O. "
The Mas is destined to become one of
the greatest mining prospects Of the Lake
Superior district. While the management
does not make known the extent of the
ore deposits located by the diamond drills,
enough has been said to satisfy the peo-
pie of the range that the property will
devlop great results in years to come.
The mine is within the limits of the city
Of Negaunee, and up to two years ago the
land owned by the corporations was used
exclusively for farming.

IOWA SPORTING LAWS
Sioux City Sportsmen Favor More
Rigid Rules.

.
Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, Iowa, Feb. 1.-THE 500 Gun
club and the 500 Rod and Reel club will
hold special meetings this week to de-
termine their attitude with reference to
bills that will be brought before the joint
committee at Des Moines to-day by the
sportsmen Of the state. It is expected the
Sioux City sportsmen will oppose the pro-
hibiting of serving game by hotels and
restaurants; the shortening of the quail,
prairie chicken, geese and duck shooting
seasons; and the 81 tax on guns. The
bills the committee will be asked OF intro
duce, include the following proposals:
To cut out the spring shooting Of ducks and
geese.
To attach license of 81 to every gun in
the state.
To prevent any one from selling game and
to keep hotels from serving game
To shorten the quail and prairie chicken
season
+ To cut out part of the duck and goose
shooting season
To protect rabbits from Dec. Is to March 1.
To keep open season on turtle doves and
plovers in July and August.
To abolish the use of trout lines
To make dynamiting Of fish a felony.
To prohibit fishing within three yards of
any dam.
To authorize either the buying of the Boz
naparte dam by the state or the opening of
a right of way to allow the fish passage up
the Des Moines river.
To give the fish and game warden authori-
ty to grant licenses to parties to seine out
the buffalo, carp and suckers from lakes.
