Chicago, June 0.--Practically dead for
eight and half hours, the heart of Bird
get Dempsey, patient in the county
hospital, has finally ceased beating. All
action of the respiratory organs of the
woman had ceased and the physicians in
attendance pronounced her dead. The
heart action, which apparently had died
away, grew stronger few moments after
ward and injections of nitroglycerine and
other stimulants and artificial respiration
were used. but Intellectually. Still the
pnlsations Of the heart continued with
regularity while the woman remained to
all other indications lifeless.
DIR. j. H. Mustard Of the hospital staff
pronounced the case one Of Landry's par
alysis, one of the mrest diseases known to
medical science. The disease is primarily
paralysis of the respiratory organs, which
does not act Immediately on the heart.
The dead woman was 81 years of age
and entered the institution two weeks ago
to be treated for tubercular meningitis.

OF course the number of bundle, pt

OF course the number of bundles per
,cre will depend on how heavy the
grain is; but on the basis OF 400 bun
dies per acre the cost per acre would
be: Pure Manila, $50 feet per pound,
1877 cents per acre; Manila, 600 feel
per pound, 20 cents per acre, Sjsal
Standard, 500 feet per pound, 21.3
cents per acre.
Owing to it's superior quality many
consumers think the brand known a.
Four Leaf Red Glover is the product Of
some Eastern manufacturer, whereas ii
is made in Portland, Oregon, as can BE-
seen from the tag on each ball. From
Eastern farm journals it can be readily
seen that the large Eastern manufac
turers are responsible for the high price
of fibre and maintaining the value OF
Sisal and Standard Irvine. They con.
troll the Slsal fibre situation in Yucca
tan, where all the fibre for the worlds
consumption is raised, and holding
the market up to price that prevents
the smaller mills from getting fibre at q
low enough price to compete with them.
If farmers will only remember that $50
feet Manila is the cheapest in the end
and use this quality OF Irvine, they will
develop our trade with the Philippines,
which means an increase of population
on the Pacific coast and broadening the
market for farm products.

What may practically be termed the
first gold to arrive from the Klondike
this season was brought to Tacoma on
the steamer Princess May. Approxi-
mately $150,000 in dust came on that
boat. About $4,000 came down on the
City of Seattle. Accurate news Of the
cleanup is difiicult to obtain. Claim
owners keep the results very quiet. It
is the opinion of the Canadian customs
officials at Caribou that much gold
dust is surreptitiously being run down
the Yukon to st. Michael when the
officials are not on the alert. Such
gold, Of course, does not pay the roy

never be classed among the output Of

Perhaps it is hard for you to hear
