For a third of century an exile

Stidger found mercy at the hands of
Judge Kohlsaat at Chicago because Of
the part he took in breaking up the
famous knights of the Golden Circle"
during the civil war, thus doing the
country an invaluable service.
The defendant had pleaded guilty to
indictment for writing improper let
ters to persons in Charlottesville and
Goshen, Ind, and was awaiting SEN
tence.
This man rendered good service to
time" said District Attorney Bethea,
and on this recommendation the court
suspended a fine which he had i'm
posed. Stidger's service in the war
of the rebellion is part of history.
His name is enrolled among the gov
ernment secret service agents who
were detailed in 1864 to learn the
plans of this notable organization of
southern sympathizers.
Stidger says he was followed for two
years by hired assassin, Bob Spruce,
and that his life would be in peril if
he were to go to Kentucky, his former
home, as surviving members of the
Golden Circle" would kill him.

been established, 10 dogs travelling

lighter delicacies are often lacking,
and these, together, with letters, are
carried round the dogs necks. When
the snow is frozen hard enough six

RACE WITH A CYCLONE.
Train Ran Fifty Miles an Hour-Ahead
Fifty Feet.

Passengers on the Santa Fe flyer
from Kansas City to Wichita, Kan,
bad an exciting experience in mad
race between the flyer and a cyclone,
and the former came out about SO feet
ahead, after a flight of 12 miles. North
bound passenger No. 406, due at
Wichita at noon left Arkansas City
at 10 o'clock. The cyclone which
came from the southwest, started on
the right of way and the race COM
nenced Immediately. Conductor
Strain says that he locked all doors
and windows to keep passengers from
leaping out Many women were half
crazed and tried to jump out. The
heat was unbearable. He stood on
the rear platform and could feel the
suction of the cyclone as 1t drew
nearer. Engineer Watts pulled his
train at 80 miles an hour, barely keep
ing out of the storms clutches. Fire
man Johnson was SO exhausted when
the train reached Winfield, where the
cyclone cloud shot upward and dis
solved, that he had to be carried from
his cab. The engineer continued his
run to Newton. The cyclone swept a
path of about so feet, destroying farm

Helpful Galactose.

A hitherto unknown element in milk,
a new ferment, has been discovered,
called galactose, which is proving of
value in the ripening of cheese. The
properties of this ferment are similar
to the secretion of the pancratic or
gan in the human body. Old cheese
is predigested food, and the diges-
tion is wrought by the galactose. 1t
was found that the galactose would
go on working at very low tempera-
ture, temperatures at which bacteria
were practically inert. Cheese was
put into refrigerators and kept frozen
for months. Other cheese was kept
just above the freezing point. 1t was
found that the first cheese is cured
at from 40 degrees to As degrees Fab
renheit. Practical cheese manufactur-
ers have maintained that so degrees
was the lowest temperature at which
cheese could be worked without be-
coming bitter and worthless. The
new discovery, will, it is believed, rev.
olutionize cheese manufacture, doing
away with the curing rooms the
cheese being sent directly to the re-
frigerator.

SNAKE BROKE up PICNIC

A horrid snake broke up a picnic
that was given near Macon, Mo-, few
days ago by the Bachelor Maidens
club of Macon county. 1t was not a
real snake either. That was the worst
part of it. The reptile was one of the
mechanical kind that qsuirm and
twist in manner that would put a
real snake to shame.
The bachelor maidens might have
overlooked the joke and even laughed
at 1t, but for one terrible circumstance
the whole thing was a plot put up
by photographer. This same camera
artist is charged with having, with
malice prepense. arranged the toy
snake so that it would scare the
maidens In order that he might get a
snap shot Of them while they were
having Mysteries.
1t was during one of the sunny days
of last week that the bachelormaidens
decided to execute long cherished
ambition. The director general issued
call for spring picnic, and fifteen
members of the club responded Eacn
member brought basket of provisions
or something needful.

luncheons near a stream they discov-

was d big, rude man in flannel shirt
and with a disgusting pipe in his

grinned and moved on. Then the work
of unpacking was resumed.
The Bachelorissimo labored earnest,

to contain ginger Finally she loosen

brought the rude man upon the scene.

Bachelorissimo, you may go about
your business" The man left, but
after he had departed one of the
maidens found a card bearing the
name of a photographer, and they
are positive he had the snake put in
the jar and took a picture of them
when it jumped out. They are now
looking with nervous apprehension
for a picture illustrating the clubs
first outing.

OlL.CARRYING FLEETS.
VIII Be Largely Increaeed-Are Thelr
Carsoes Dangerous?

In connection with the mercantile
marine, nothing can be said to be
more certain than that the oilcarry
ing fleets of the world will be con-
siderably increased in the course Of
very few years. A growing demand
for crude and refined petroleum, the
discovery of new oil fields, and the
allround development of the trade
will necessitate the building of new
tankers. At the present moment
there must be nearly a score of these
vessels on the stocks in British and
American shipyards. 1t is new
branch of the shipping industry, and
one which ought to attract a great
deal of attention. The tanker has a
more expensive and complicated
equipment than the ordinary freighter,
and this demands the display of engi-
neering and scientific knowledge
quite unique among specialist work in
the art of shipbuilding. Oil-field
steamers, both cargo-carrying and
passenger, will also become more
numerous during the next four or five
years. Oil as a fuel and cargo is one
Of the most promising liquids of COM
merce; it has a future that is both
interesting and important. There is
certain unaccountable antipathy to
petroleum. Some practical men think
il constitutes dangerous cargo. Ten
years ago there were between 60 and
20 petroleum tank steamers, and of
these many carried from 1900 to
1000 tons of OIL" now there are three
times that number Of iankers, and the
largest, trading and building, are de-
signed to carry from 5000 to 10000
tons

A curious discovery has been made
in connection with the veterans of the

of dying off gradually, as might be ex

Forty-two years ago Garibaldi sailed

gallant band there are to-day 1,20C

100000 year to 1S,421 pensioners OF

jolly, cheerful fellow. Watch him
show his teeth in laughter when the
master approaches. He is darting
across the yard ana dancing and frisk-

up to all kinds of pranks and does
all kinds of little things to indicate
the good nature that is in him. He
does as his master does and seems to
take the same general view of life
