THREE QUEER DISEASES.
Two of Them Abide In the Kongo
Region and One In Peru.


There are two remarkable diseases,
either or both of which may attack
you If you elect to reside within the
Congo basin, but you need have no
dread Of them If you live in any other
part of the world One is the sleeping
sickness, Il terrible, mysterious and In
variably fatal malady The patient is
at first Only drowsy, but ends by sleep
Ing almost continually waking only
for meals or when forcibly reused.
Finally the torpOr becomes complete.
He cannot be reused even to take food,
and dies of starvation.
The other disease alluded to is even
more curious. although fortunately not
nearly so deadly. and Is known to spe-
clalists In tropical diseases as ainhum,
from negro word meaning ii saw, a

WILL BE SOLD BY SEALED BIDS
Method of Disposal Of Indian Heirship
Lands.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Commissioner
Jones said that the new rules govern
ing the sale of heirship lands on Indian
reservations have not yet been received
from the printer. Under the circum-
stances he said there was nothing more
to be said than what was said short
while ago about the practice under the
present rulings. He did say, however,
that under the new rules the lands will
be sold under sealed bids to the highest
bidder that lands shall be advertised
in the agency and sealed bids invited,
opened in public and the sales made to
the highest bidders.
Robert b. Armstrong, private secre-
tary to Secretary Shaw, has carried out
plan Of REMEMBERING the rooms of the
treasury department. The new plan
will follow that in vogue in all modern
office buildings. Beginning with the
basement all numbers will commence
with the unit one, second floor two,
thus on till one reaches the fourth or
top floor Under the new system man
directed to visit room %, 70 rinstance,
will at once be told that 1t is located on
the second floor.
The present system of numbering
rooms in the treasury is certainly err
ratio, to say the least. One may be di-
rected to go to room IS, and, after wan
dering aimlessly about, may discover
several rooms bearing the number he is
seeking. Uniformity and business
methods are being sought for in what
appears to be trivial matters in the
management of the business Of the

strong is gradually working out the de-
tails under the directions of Secretary

New York, Oct. 1S.-It has just been
learned, says the Herald, that another
international combination has been
formed in the storage battery business
which practically controls the patents
and manufacture of storage batteries
in this country and Europe. The COM

by American capitalists, who recently
visited London to settle the tobacco
war, by the purchase of the English
companies manufacturing storage bat.

the intention of the new company to be-
gin a process of development work
abroad, which will go hand in hand
with the manufacture of electrical ma
chinery. In England. in particular, and
in Germany, there is believed to be a
great field for development work in the
storage battery.
The machinery end OF the enterprise
will be looked after by a Massachu-

ATTACK ON BEEF MERGER.
Speaker at Live Stock Association Says
1t Will Hurt Producers.

Speaker at Live Stock Association Says
1t Will Hurt Producers.
Pittsburg. Pa, Oct. 1S.-The feature
OF yesterdays session of the National
Live Stock Association, which opened
its annual convention nere yesterday,
was the address of j. B. Blanchard. OF
Omaha, in which he attacked the pro-
posed beef trust.
The combination just formed, he said.
requires capital of $SS,000,00O to abb
sorb the properties of the various pack
ing companies. 1t will require a clear
profit of 100000 a day to pay per cent
interest on this capital. When they add
S100,000.000 more of watered stock 1t
will take daily profit of S25O,OOO to
Pay 4 per cent interest. When this COM
hination sees fit to begin operations 1t
will practically place a mortgage on
every head of live stock in the United
States. This mortgage will have to be
paid by the producer.
Mr.. Blanchard continues: "The meat
trust was scheduled to have begun OPP
erations on Oct. 80, or within few
days.
Under the new arrangement the pro-
find there but one buyer and but one
price. He is hopelessly in the hands Of
a mercenary enemy.
There is a chance for the meat trust
to be a benefit to the country rather
than detriment. If 1t is content to
make fair profit it could pay the pro-
Queer more for his stock and sell the
articles for less than they
are now doing. This would be made
possible by the cutting out of the mid
dlemans profits. But i. does not look
as if the meat trust intended doing any
thing of the kind"
Last evening banquet was given the
delegates. S. w. Allerton, of Chicago,
delivered the principal address. After
the banquet ball was given in honor
OF the guests.
