FEEDING NATIVES.
Msi. West and Gen. Bell Looking After
Destitute FiIIpinOs and Supplying

Washington, Aug. 9.-Maj. B. K

to say concerning the feeding of ma.
tives in the Philippines:
81 was in hopes that the closing
up of the campaign in Batangas and
Laguna would end the feeling of the
natives, but such is not the case,
although the camps have been broken
up. The natives were left in a desti-
tute condition; had been unable to
plant new crops; all the old crops
had been destroyed in the military
operations and so the work has to
go on.
"Gen. Bell was in the city and /
asked him about the number of ma
tives he was feeding. He told me
that in Batangas he was feeding ap-
proximately 100000 people. In La
guna he could not give the exact
number, but I judge from the guam
tity that we supply that there must
be about half as many

IMPORTANT RAILWAY DEAL.
Missouri Pacific VIII Get into Chicago
Through an Agreement with the Chi
cago, Milwaukee s. st. Paul.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-That by what is
known as a traffic agreement" a
close alliance has been entered into
between the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railway and the Missouri
Pacific system, one representing the
Rockefeller interest and the other
the great Southwestern railway sys-
TENS of the Goulds. BY the alliance
the former company will secure a
direct line to Salt Lake City and the
Missouri Pacific will gain a direct en-
trance from the Kansas City gateway
into Chicago. This will place the St.
Paul system wlth-a terminus more
than midway to the Pacific coast,
and give it entrance into Ell Paso,
Tex, over the Texas & Pacific tracks,
which are owned by the Gould inter-
ests, thus tapping the great south
west, which is gridironed by the
Gould lines.

SOMETHING REALISTIC.
Two Cavalry Troops Came Together with
such Force That Several Horses Were
Killed and Soidiers Hurt.

Lawton, Ok, Aug. 9.-During the
military maneuvers north of Fort Sill
Thursday several men were injured,
two horses killed and the cavalry
force generally endorsed. 1t was a
special drill, in which Lieut.. Kennedy,
of troop C, was to escort a pack
train, which was to be attacked by
troop A and captured if possible.
The green horses carried the assault
ing men, with drawn sabers, into
the escort with such terrific force
that about two-thirds of the soldiers
were endorsed and two horses were
so badly hurt that they had to be
killed.
Lieut.. Kennedy says it was an ac-
cident, due to the horses becoming
uncomfortable. 1t is also said that
the war department will order full
investigation of the affair. Another
report here is that the two troops
engaged in fight because of bad
blood.

LOve-Crazcd Evangelist at Parker City,
Ind, TerrOrIzed Young Girl He Was
Determined to Harry.

Dublin, Ind. Aug. s.-InsaneIy in
love with a handsome young woman
of Parker City, Edward Cosler, a boy
evangelist, 10 years of age, pursued
and terrorized the young girl in the
streets, demanding that she become
his wife. ''The Lord has united u.s."
he shouted. 81 will marry you be-
fore shutdown or move the founda-
tions of hell" Frightened lest he
should seize her, the young woman
took refuge in the home of an ac-
quaintance. The boy evangelist re-
manned outside and continued to
shout. It was necessary to send for
the authorities to have him removed.
He was placed on train and ordered
never again to appear at Parker
City. The young lady has known
Cosler for some time, having assisted
him in his meetings at the old Chris
tian church and on street corners.

40 Make CIear Jeux.

Jelly making seems the most diff
cult thing in the fruit preserving line.
Sometimes the juice ropes or spins a
thread and refuses to form a Jelly;
sometimes sugar crystals come on the
top and the jelly candies. In the first
case, the fruit juice has been boiled
too long; in the second, too much
sugar has been used, and the amount
which the fruit cannot take up crys-
tal1izes. Fruit like ounces, which con-
tain a large amount of pectin and
pectose. are easily made into jelly.
Half a pound of sugar to a pint of
good rich ounce juice will make a
solid clear jelly. With grapes, those
that are a little under ripe are best
for jelly making. If they are very
ripe, they do not need as much sugar
as when under ripe.-N. Y. Sun.

HOUSE SPIDERS HARMLESS.
Insects That Are So Common
About Our Homes.

To a person acquainted with spiders
and their habits nothing appears
more ridiculous than the alarm which
a common house spider will cause to
some people. We have very few poi
sonous or dangerous spiders in this
country.
Though their bite is venomous, it is
fatal only to insects and animals. The
quantity of their poison is so minute
that it can do no harm of any con-
sequence to a person who is in or
binary health. In the sultry months,
when the blood is hot and irritable,
the bite of a spider is most liable to
result in danger, says a scientific jouA-
nal.
Few objects are more repulsive to
people generally than the spider, and
this arises probably from the fright
full stories which everybody has heard
of the tarantula and the effects of its
wound. Only some tarantulas of the
tropical climates are poisonous. A
close acquaintance with the little fell
lows lessons our antipathy to them.
They perform surprising and curious
feats, and are intelligent, cunning and

attus familiaris, does not build a web,
but lives in the crevices in the walls,
window sashes, clapboards and such
places, and it runs over the floors or
along the walls and catches flies. No
panther or cat can vie with this little
fellow in the stealthily approaches
and captures its game. He is per-
fectly harmless, but not one house
wife in a hundred appears to know
it,
Another common house spider is
known as the theridfon vulgare, varia-
BILE in color, being cream white, some
times darked, of a leaden gray, hvid
brown, and tinged at times with red.
This spider is of a more retiring ma
ture than the one have just spoken
of, and contents himself with build
ing a home in some dark corner of a
room. After the web is made ready
he retires to his den and waits for
his victim, and the moment fly or
other insect is entangled in the
meshes of the web, the spider darts
out, and if he discovers that the cap
tive is sufficiently large and strong
enough to eventually break the web
and get away, he will advance eau
tiously and begin the work of spin
ming thread after thread around him,
so as to bind the victim hard and fast.
When this is done, the little spider
will then set to work to hasten it's
death by singing him. These spiders
never permit the dead victim to re-
main in the web, but will weave a
system of pulIeys and tackle, which
by degrees work the dead body into
the home of the spider, when he goes
to work and repairs the web for the
next unfortunate.

THIRTEEN MINERS KILLED.

party at the Bowen mine, where 8
disastrous explosion occurred Thurs

hour the bodies of II dead had been
recovered. There were at least ID
men in the mine at the time of the
explosion and all were undoubtedly
killed.
No gas has ever been known in
the mine and it is the opinion of the
officials that the accident was caused
by a premature shot. The powder
house at the mouth of the mine con-
tanning about 1000 pounds of blast
ing powder was exploded by the
shock from the mine and great dam
age was done to the mouth of the
