picture A plain little woman, worn and
aged, but very neat in calico frock and
bingham apron, met us at the door and
asked US in, while one of the rough boys
lounging on the porch was dispatched to
the spring for fresh water.
Instead of the usual mountaineer's
open fireplace, with iron crane and ket-
ties, was surprising arrangement of a
cooking stove mounted on kitchen table.
My glance reverted to this curious sight
so often that our mountain hostess SEEM
ed constrained to explain.
'You-uns amt used ter seem cook
stoves fixed up that-a-way, l reckon she
said, alphabetically. Pap he got that
there cook stove down in town way las
May, and he didn't think bout the stove
pipe, an he didn't get huff to reach up
to that there hole in tn chimbly, so we
uns es' histed the cook stove up to that
there table till he gifts time t go t town
an git some more stovepipe. Tafnts
handy t climb up on a cheer t cook, an I
wish t. tn land pap'd hurry hisself an git
t. town arter that there stovepipe. It'd be
a heap handler t hev that there cook
stove down on tn groun'.'
"Of course we-uns agreed with the
good woman that her complaint was well
based, but we praised her cleverness
and originality in utilizing the kitchen
table. Probably not one woman In TO-
600, 900 would have ever suggested that
way out of the domestic difficulty. De-

JOHN GILMORE PROMPTLY FILLS
AN ACHING VOID IN
HIS HEART
WEEDS BEFORE SUPPER
GIRL HE MET AT BREAKFAST
Saskatchewan Farmer Who Finds His
Iowa Sweetheart Married Upon His
Return to Claim Her Hand Finds
Immediate Solace for His Grief in
Minneapolis.

John Gilmore, of TurelI, Saskatche-
apolis, were married yesterday after
the briefest courtship on record. Gill
more came in from the Northwest ter
rttories on Saturday night. He has
taken up half a section of government
land and this summer broke 100 acres.
Gilmore lives at Seney, Iowa. He
paid visit to Seney with the inten-
ton of marrying a young woman to
whom he had been engaged when he
went North to extend his fortunes. On
his arrival in Seney two weeks ago he
found that his fiancee had become the
bride of rival named Anderson.
Gilmore took the next train out of
Seney. He came to Minneapolis to see
g. married sister, Mrs e. T. Carlson, of
1424 Fourteenth avenue south.
He Lost No Time.
Visiting with Mrs. Carlson was Miss
Hallet, who is the, daughter of a Min
nesota farmer also farming land in
the Saskatchewan valley. Gilmore was
introduced to Miss Hallet yesterday
morning at breakfast. He married her
before supper.
1t developed that the father of Miss
Hallet and Gilmore had a claim with

erty. Gilmore is giant in statue. He
stands feet inches in his stocking

pretty girl, but very slight and not
over five feet in height. The couple
will leave for Saskatchewan tomor-
row via the 500.

SCORES BUcKETsHoP DEALERS.
President of Chamber of Commerce Says
They're a Nuisance.

The annual meeting of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce occurred yester
day, and in the course of his retiring
address, President John Washburn took
occasion to severely score the bucketshop
dealers, whose operations have so eX-
tended during the last two years as to
have rendered regular Board of Trade
brokers decidedly uneasy.
Mr. Washburn said that he regarded
the bucketshop operations as a great
menace to legitimate business, and that
he hoped the members of the board would
bear in mind the necessity existing for
their early suppression.
ent grain dealing concerns intended to
stirred up strong animosities in the regu-
lar ranks Some of the brokers admit
that their business has been cut into
very severely by the pirates" and that
unless something. is done to check the
operations of bucketers some of the reg
ular firms will be forced to the wall.
James Marshall, the newly elected pres
ident of the chamber, is a fighter from
fightersville, and he has been elected
principally because it is realized that he
will go after the independent people with
every weapon at his command.

SOME TALL TALES TOLD
BY A MISSOURI FARMER
Wonderful Uses to Which the Corn Cob
Is Put and Likewise the Giant
Pumpkins.

When it comes to tall lying Mis-
sourian in the hamlet Of Mooresville
takes the persimmons in the following
contribution to the Kansas City Star:
MOORESVILLE, Mo-, Oct. ITO the
Star: I notice your recent stories
about mighty ears Of corn" from the
different counties and these fellows
all stop to count the grains. While We
have plenty of corn this year, and
whoppers, we've not taken time to
count the grains. 1t has, however, de-
veloped a new industry in our own
county that we have not as yet heard
of from others.
The pith, after being extracted from
the cob, is utilized for corks of all sizes.
The cob Is then given a coat of tar,
and after being dressed up is shipped
throughout the country to take the
place of the old burnt clay thing at
one-fourth the cost. They are also
used in the construction of bridges,
their firmness, after processing, max
ing excellent piling.
The silk is woven into rope and sells
readily and retails for 12A cents
pound, the quality being much better
than the cotton or manila brands. The
husks are cut, trimmed, blocked and
baled and are sold for cedar shingles.
The continued rains here have done
considerable damage to ungathered
crops. In one instance one of our
neighbors who resides on the bank OF
Mud creek lost his entire crop with the
exception of one potato, and it is still
buried.
This potato was growing near the
bank Of the stream and gradually the
earth caved and caved until the potato
rolled in the water and Immediately
damned the creek and the whole coun-
try is flooded. The poor mans crop is
gone.
Our cabbage is all larger than Alder
man Lumpl1in's trash can. In all, crops
are undoubtedly grand success in
our neighborhood.
A luncheon was served today inside
a mammoth pumpkin. Eighteen merry
couples composed the crowd, besides
the orchestra, two walters and other
necessary attendants.-Georg Dice.

ques eight insular policemen guarded
the booth, no Federals were admitted
and none registered. In many towns
there have been no Federal registra-
tons, and in consequence in several
towns, in addition to Cayey, the Fed
erals formally retired from the cleo
tons.
In order to remedy this the super
visor of elections allowed an extra
election day, yesterday, but with the
same result. Although instructions
were wired to all the precincts to pro-
tect the rights of the Federals they
were uniformly disregarded. Wher-
ever Federals attempted to register
there was more or less disorder.
Shooting ARRAYS occurred at Aqua
dilla, Corozol, Vieques and Mayaguez.
Some persons were wounded, but there
were no fatalities. Wholesale arrests
Of F-ederals were made and thousands

His Corner at Hennepin and Fourth.
Levi NJ Stewart. the millionaire re-
cluse who lives in an old frame house at
the corner of Fourth street and Henne-
pin avenue, in Minneapolis, is under
stood to have been offered yesterday the
highest price ever paid for business prop
erty in Minneapolis for his holdings on
this corner by an Eastern syndicate Of
capitalists wishing to build hotel on the
site.
Mr. Stewart cannot be interviewed. He
Is the most uncommunicative person IN
Minneapolis, and the most peculiar. He
is said to have been offered $165.000 for
his down town corner.
When offers have been made him for
the homestead in past times, Mr.. Stew
art has insisted that his wife would not
countenance such a sale, and many a
would-be purchaser has gone away
with the impression that Mrs. Stewart
ruled the elder with a rod of iron.
AS a matter of fact, Stewart was never
married. He refuses to sell for the rea-
son, as he tells his intimate friends, that
the homestead is his hobby. To be sure
1t is a green oasis in a desert of brick

A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC
BURIED A LONG TIME
The PIow Turned Up Ball Fired In the
Revolution,

AS in Southey's familiar poem plough
turns up human skull that recalls o
hard fought battle Of other times, so, at
this place the other day. a new made fur
row disclosed an interesting relic Of the
American revolution. 1t was a fourteen
pound cannon ball reduced by rust to the
weight Of twelve pounds. For 126 years 1t
had lain in the soil where 1t had fallen
from one of those crude pieces Of field
artillery that have so long since accom-
plished their high mission and passed
into silence and forgetfulness.
This ball was found only day or two
ago on the farm Of B. E. Johnson, on
which still stands the picturesque and
historic Johnson homestead. one of the
best known landmarks in Bucks county,
whence was made the start for the ia
nous crossing Of the Delaware that was
to end in the victories of Trenton and
Princeton. 1t was there that Knox and
Hamilton had established their headquar-
tiers at the time that this new-found ball
fell into the resting place where 1t was
to lie so long unseen. These generals had
with them at the time several pieces of
Washington's light artillery and it was
evidently to one of these guns that the
ball belonged.
1t was ploughed up within a few yards
Of the house where the generals stayed

vestigation also showed blood below
the window. An alarm was given, and
the proprietor notified the police, who
instantly started a search. No one
knew Mr.. Seaman was in the room
last night, as he goes and comes when
he p1eases on his trips to different
points in the province. Blood was
traced to the Red river, and the river
was dragged. but no body was found.
This evening 1t was learned that Mr..
Seaman had gone to Portage-La-P rai-
RE, and that man named Doris had
entered his room in his absence, and,
it is supposed, jumped through the
window in a fevered state.

Insomnia One of the Most Trying Diseases
and Difficult to Cure.
Nothing induces sleep more quickly
than exercise taken in moderation. The
woman who has bicycled for miles will
sleep soundly; the girl who has walked
ten miles will drop off like log and not
stir until morning; the woman who has
put in a day in the garden, or has been
engaged In vigorous indoor work with
the windows open, will sleep soundly, and
had recourse to narcotics of any kind, ex-
cept the narcotics nature provides.
Women who, read at night or write,
or professional women whose work is
Guilty in getting to sleep. They lie awake
for hours, and sometimes drop off to sleep
only just before 1t is time to get up again.
So does the woman who stays indoors,
who puzzles her brain over household
problems, and who is not physically tired
when she goes to bed; she it is who stays
awake. The woman who worries never
sleeps well. She cannot sleep. because her
brain will not let her sleep.
For this kind of sleeplessness a glass

be slipped as slowly as possible.

Rev. Brown has invited to his pulpit
laymen to discuss labor and other
questions, and that at one time he
permitted an avowed enemy of the
Christian church to speak from his
pulpit in order that he might combat
the mans views in formal answer.
Rev. Brown was asked by the board
Of elders to resign, but he said he be-
lieved a majority of the general board
would sustain his position The mat
ter was then left to that board, which
today. by decisive majority, upheld
the board of elders and insisted on his
resignation.
/ A member of the board said that
Rev. Browns character was believed
to be above reproach, but that the
board did not believe he was conduct

minister of the Christian church.

POLICE NEED A BODY GUARD.
So Says Judge Holt From the Bench of
the Municipal Court

Judge Holt of the municipal court. is
of opinion that what the police of Min
neapolis need is a force of bodyguards
Several instances have recently been
brought to his notict of able bodied and
apparently robust officers being wantonly
assaulted by elderly citizens.
The judge does not think the majesty
of the law should be thus outraged by
citizens taking advantage of their phys
ical superiority over the husky gentlemen
drawing pay from the city as policemen.
Hence, he advocates a system of body
guards.
The latest instance is that of Hugh
O'Donnell an inmate Of the soldiers

raigned In the municipal court yesterday
