At the conclusion OF the programme
oranges, candies and nuts we're dis

The Hubbard DevOrce Case.

Walter Williams in the Columbia Herald.
Ebert Hubbard has been sued for
divorce "upon statutory grounds. "
The Phllistine seems to have been more

iodical did protest Too much
When man gets overly good, watch
him. When a man becomes overly
clever, watch him. When a man starts
out to reform he world by Kicking over
all its establishe customs the chances
are about one Hundred to none that he
either has two wives, some other fell
lows money or a blind spot on his
brain. The world isn't an right. Nor
Is 1t wholly wrong. The lconoclast
who goes around with his little axe
striking az church aud school and
society in general IS frequently bright
and entertaining knave but he is a

TIE order Of book she'ves, 10 which
the tablets had been laid.
A connection has been traced be-
tween this library aud that of the
great King Ashurbanapal Of Nineveh,
discovered twenty-five years ago by
the British explorers, Laird and
Smith. This library contained Assyr-
ian copies Of Babylonian originals
concerning the history of the creation
and the delnge. In the Nippur
temple library, it has been ascertain
ed the originals from which these
copies were made are to be found.
Professor Hilprecht expects TO unearth
them, and thus to obtain a complete
record Of events, told Of only in part
by the kssyrian copies.
The tablets recovered from the
great library belongs to every period
Of Babylonian history Up TO the time
of Abraham. Data have been gath
e.ed regarding The different kings
who reigned 10 Nippur, or who left
records of their activity IN the
destruction and restoration of build
ings. Some of the tablets belong to
tie period Of the King Sargon L who
relgned $500 B. G.
Tablets were also recovered OF a
later date, but they we're found ia
the upper stratum, 5000 years on
top Of the library. In one room no
far from the ruins of the lib arY, anC

Suggests a Cure For Hos.

J. w. Green Of Poplar Bluffs, Mo-,
says that number of his hogs, which
he was fattening, took sick similar to
the disease which is now prevalent in
Central Missouri He gave the afflicted
animals twenty drops of turpentiue to
each hog. The medicine was mixed
IN good rich slop as hot as could be
eaten. That evening the hogs we're able
to come to the trough. The following
day he awaited further results, which
proved so beneficial that he repeated
the dose on the next day, and the hogs
began immediately picking up, and be
prouounces them cured.

John Scott Of Odessa committed
suicide Wednesday evening. 1t was
the iay OF his SISTERS wedding and
when he spoke to her after the GER
emony he said something to iudicate
that he was contempting suicide. He
boarded the evening G, s A. train
and after it was well under headway
he threw himself of, presumably with
the intent of self destruction. He
was so wounded that death would
probably have resultedin few hours.
He was picked up and carried into
the station. He soon recovered SUM-
ciently to get up and walk out on the
platform where he shot himself four
times with a pistol 1t is thought
that he was insane and that he was
coutempting this deed for some time.

1t is reported from Washington
tlal Z 4lny sou has given his consent
to have the Court Of Hague arbitrate
all the matters Of controversy between

be a happy RESULT If the president can
escape this unpleasant labor and at
the same time present the Hague

from The allies that the president

A dispatch to President Castro

The officials here bave refused
absolutely TO say anything on th,
subject since the receipt Of the pro

Five persons were killed, each resulting
