Minister Bowen is making a great
record for himself in the present
Venezuelan crisis. His energy and
discretion have commended him TO
our state department, while in Ger
many and England he is being warm
ly praised. Mr.. Bowen's diplomatic
career is pretty we'll know to his coun-
trymen, but we doubt whether it is
generally known that he was a mem

not receive his degree because he call
ed a member of the faculty a liar-or
spoke of him as a liar. The under
standing is that Mr.. Bowen can have
his bachelors degree whenever he is
willing to apologize for his words.
Unless his temper has grown mild
with the years he probably said some
things to President Castro which that
gentleman will not soon forget.-In-

Farmers Will RAISE More Hogs.

The Columbia City Post says indi-
cations are that good prices for hogs
and cattle will be maintained during
the coming year. The supply of both
is not great, while the demand is. In
the South Omaha packing house, as
compared with the last year, there is
a shortage of 10, 500, 600 pounds.
This would indicate that the supply
is short. 1t is said that taking the
entire country oyer, the receipts OF
cattle and hogs at packing houses
have been 20 per cent. below a year
ago. High priced meat, it seems, has
come to stay a while. Indiana farm
ers should give especial attention to
stock interests.

1t is said to be a fact that more
than twenty million silver dollars in
circulation now are counterfeit-that
is while they contain just as much
silver as the genuine dollar and look
exactly like it they have been made
by private parties. At the present
price of bullion the value of the silver
in a "daddy dollar" is only 3S cents
The profit of counterfeiting the dollar
is therefore enormous. The counter
felt silver coin is SO skillfully executed
as to make it next to impossible to
detect the fraud. Government officials
are said to be in a quandary as 60

alton.

Rigid Diet Killed Reed.

Some of the medical men of the
country seem to Think that too rigid
dieting FASTENED Thomas b. Reeds
death. The distinguished ex-spsaker
was a very large man, weighing at
times over 800 pounds. BY rigid diet
ing he reduced his weight 20 pounds.
That did not satisfy him, so he Topped
off 20 pounds more by a similar pro-
cess. Even this did not altogether
satisfy MI. Reed, and he managed to
add five pounds more to the reducT
ton, making in all 45 pounds. 1t is
thought that If be had proceeded a
little more slowly, the effect would
not have been SO damaging.

1t seems to be generally conceded
that the ship subsidy bill, which
passed the senate at the last session
and is now in the House committee on
merchant marine and fisheries, is
dead. 1t is known that there is
strong republican opposition to it,
both among the members of the COM
mittee and in the House itself. There
is a good chance that it will not even
be reported by the committee. AT
the last session the committee stood
nine to eight against the bill, three
republicans opposing a favorable re-
port. 1t is said that there are now five
republicans on the committee who
are opposed to the bill. Great efforts
have been made to have the bdl re-
portee. but SO far Chairman Grosvenor
has made nc attempt in that direct
ion.

Empiric Science.

Perhaps it is the very mystery Of life
up with pseudo scientific investigators
who promulgate new and picturesque
theories regarding the care Of the soul or
the body. Any person who will pose as
prophet may have his following, as wit
ness Joseph Smith, founder of Mormon
ism, and Alexander Dowie, who is sucking
a fortune from the purses of those who be-
lieve in his grotesque doctrines, or Zebroff,
the leader of the fanaticaI Dukhobors, who
have been saved by force from death by
starvation and cold.

MIND POWER AND PRIVILEGES. BY Albert
B. Olston. New York: T. Y. Crowell & Co.
;. The author of this book enters into
full discussion of mental power and it's
possibilities, assuming, as is usual with
enthusiasts, too much for mental thera-
peutics for there is q limit to such power
and that limit is limit of the nervous sys-
tenn in which neurotic troubles originate
The laws under which telepathy and the
subsection Of one mind to another as in
hypnotism work. are unknown to those
who are able to work under their provi-
sions, but that there are such laws gov
erning psychic powers is evident. For
centuries the possibilities of mind power
have been known and used and in this
book will be found many modern proofs
The author devotes several chapters to a
consideration of Christian Science and
shows its palpable defects and the adj
vantages of it's theory of development of
the subjective faculties, the attainment
of self control by inhibiting bodily SEN
sations, etc, which have been familiar to
the Yogi thaumaturgists in Thibet and
India for ages. The authors chapter on
subjective training lays down program

There was never the semblance of a. quar-
rel. She could almost have wished there
had been-anything, all things, but what
was
Margaret found herself overwhelmed by
a tumult Of emotions she sat in the ia
miliar old fashioned parlor where so many
of her old days had been spent. There
was very little change beyond the few
triding effects wrought by the touch of a
new Individuality
1t was a quaint, picturesque old home,
typical architectural relic of the ante
bellum south. A smooth box hedge, green
the year round, bordered a magnificent
flower garden Outside were wild
oranges, great rows of them whose dainty
waxen blossoms of this season mingled
with the glistening gold fruit of the last.
Dotted about the wild Bermuda lawn were
roses pink and white and red and yellow
blOOmed, filling the air with midwinter
fragrance.
A half hour passed. and impatient OF
waiting, Margaret rose and walked over
to one of the windows.
There was a tiny artificial pond lust
below. with ducks skimming over it's rip
pleless surface. Weeping willows trailed
their graceful branches along the edges
where daisies and white violets sprane

Presently child with long yellow curls
| toddled down to the rim of the bank and
dabbled its fingers in the water. The
nurse followed close behind augl1ing and

sight Here dawned another and a tragic
aspect, all unsupported.

New Terms for Cuba.

1t is understood that the instructions
given to General Bliss as to his mission
to Cuba, embody a reciprocity proposition
looking to a cut Of 20 to 25
per cent in our tariff duties in Gu
bas behalf, for which Cuba is asked to
give the United States trade preferences,
maintaining her present tariff on our prod
ucts and concurrently increasing the du-
ties on the bulk of her imports from other
countries to figures indicated in the trea-
ty. 1rhe intention of our government is
to avoid any impairment of Cuba's reve-
nues from customs. Cuba will, under this
arrangement have a maximum and mini
mum tariff, the United States exclusively
to have the minimum rates. Cuba will
have the advantage of reduced duties for
the introduction of her products in this
country.
Cuba wants from SO 1-3 per cent to
so per cent reduction of our tariff duties
on her products, but as it is proposed to
ask no tariff concessions from Cuba, but
only to stipulate that she will give the
United States preference in trade, it would
appear that there ought not to be any pro-
longed opposition to the proposals. She
will get large benefit by the maintenance
and increase Of her revenues and the
United States will be able to supply ev-
everything the Cubans. need.

responsible school which represents from
four to six years study. -.
The Journal does not mean to
argue that all schools Of healing not recog-
nized by the state are necessarily wrong;
nor does it hold that all the regular schools
of medicine are all right, but 1t does be-
lieve that with human life involved, years
Of training and study are not too much.
If the starvation curists and other new
cult healers would prepare themselves for
practice by four or six years Of thorough
ly scientific study, there would be little to
say against them for, instead Of possible
score Of cases on which to base their
theories, they would have thousands and
genuine science would be bound to make
some true deduction
But save us from the empiric science
