MUSCULAR SORENESS.

As the result of over-exertion and
exposure to heat and cold, or from
whatever cause, may be treated sue
cessfully by the timely application Of
St Jacobs Oil. A thorough rubbing is
necessary. The Oil should be applied
vigorously, for at least twenty min
utes, two or three times daily, when all
pain, soreness, stiffness will be re-
moved in twenty-four hours. 1t Will
also strengthen and harden the mus
cles. Football players, gymnasts, and
all athletes will find st. Jacobs Oil
superior to any other remedy for out
ward application, for the reason that

permanent Thousands of people ALI
over the world use and recommend ST.

cient to prove its efficacy. In cases

1T IS NON-PARTISAN.
Under Recent Ruling eff Supreme Cour,
Gov. Savage, of Nebraska, Appoints New
Police Board for Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 5.-Gov. Savage
late yesterday afternoon appointed
new police board for the city of
Omaha. The appointments are made
under recent ruling of the supreme
court, declaring that the appointive
power is vested in the. governor.
Those appointed are: William J..
Broatch and Joseph w. Thomas, re-
publicans, and Carl C. Wright and L..
w. SPARTAN, democrats. All are rep
resentative citizens. Broatch was
twice mayor of the city, Thomas is
bank cashier, Wright is prominent
member of the Douglas county bar
and SPARTAN was until recently a
bank cashier. The board is made
non-partisan under the law, which
requires that the members be equally
divided between both parties.

HE NEARLY CAPTURED GRANT.
Commodore Joseph e. Montgomery, Con-

War, Is Dead at Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Commodore Jo-
seph E. Montgomery, the confeder-
ate naval officer, who nearly cap
tured Gen. Grant during the civil war,
died here Monday at the home of his
son, DR.. James Montgomery. Com
modore Montgomery was born in
Carrollton, KY, in 1917, and from his
youth until the war broke out was
engaged in river traffic. AT the bat
tie of Mobile Bay he played conspic-
uous part. He also was in the en-
yagements at Fort Pillow and New
Orleans, and at Memphis he lost his
feet. He was an intimate friend of
Jefferson Davis. He lost his eyesight
IL years ago and since that time had
lived in this city.

CONVICTED AN INNOCENT MAN
A Dying Man Confesses to Killing His Son
Another Man In the Peniten-
tiary for the Deed.

Denver, Col, Aug. 5.-On his death
bed William Thompson, of Villas,
Baca county, has confessed that he
killed his son, Benjamin, aged 13, and
that Zeb Nicholson, who was con-
victed of having murdered the boy
and is serving a sentence of ten to 20
years in the penitentiary, is entirely
innocent. A petition for Nicholson's
pardon was filed with the state board
of pardons yesterday. From docu-
ments accompanying the petition it
appears that Nicholson got into a
fight on the range in February, 1901,
and that while they were engaged
in hand-to-hand struggle gun in
Thompson's hands was discharged.
Nicholson was accused of murder and
his conviction, it is said, was secured
on perjured testimony. 1t is alleged
that Thompson wanted to put Mich
olson out of the way because he had
knowledge of two murders said to
have been committed by Thompson
in Kansas. Thompson has already
Served about a year of his term.

USE OF CRIBS IN COLLEGE.
Students Feel More Secure of Their
LessoGN When Possessed of the
Risky Aids.

A visitor to classroom in Columbia
university in these days might hear
the sharp snap of an elastic band,
followed by subdued laughter among
the students undergoing their annual
examinations, and if he were very OBJ
servant he might detect q particular
student trying hard to appear at ease.
If a young professor were in charge
of the room, just the suggestion of a
smile might be seen about his coun-
tenance, says the New York Sun.
The snap of the elastic band meant
to the students that one of their class
mates was using a crib, and had bun
gled. Such an accident seemed hui
morous to them; but if the offender
had been caught, it might have meant
dismissal to him. Nevertheless, cribs
have been used always and are likely
to be.
The crib most popular at Columbia
this year is of rather recent origin,
and is said to have been brought to
Columbia a couple of years ago by a
Harvard man. 1t consists of a long
strip of paper, about 2h inches wide.
On one side of this are written all the
notes and formulae that the student
thinks he may need.
He rolls the strip of paper from
each end, and about the two rolls then
formed he places an elastic band, so
as to keep them together. The fin
ished crib makes a small enough af-
fair, and if arranged properly, can be
kept in the palm of the hand not en-
gagged in writing without attracting
attention. There is a fat surface be-
TWEEN the rolls, on which are visible a
few lines of writing.
By dividing the strip of paper into
sections, each numbered, a student can
readily tell just where to find what
he wants. AS suggested above, the rub
Der band sometimes causes embarrass-
ment.
A crib which was for some years very
popular in some universities is looked
upon with disfavor at Columbia now,
owing to the ill-luck of student a
few years ago. 1t consists of long,
narrow strip of paper, which is folded
accordion fashion. This can also be
readily held in the palm of the hand,
and then, properly arranged, can be
made to contain an abundance of in
formation.
A student of a very nervous diSpo-
sition provided himself with this crib,
and had it in his hand when the pro-
lessor in charge of the examination
stood directly at his side. He had not
had occasion to use the crib. A guilty

adjournment was taken to the ar
mory, where an old-fashioned coun.
try dinner was served to the railway
guests and visitors from the sur
rounding country.
All this was preliminary to the
real conference of the day. Various
counties and districts had sent dele
gates to the convention and after
dinner these delegates reassembled
in the convention hall and through
their spokesman laid their wishes
before the railroad presidents
Mr.. Hill was the only president
speaking at this conference. He an
swered many questions from time to
time, offered numerous voluntary eX-
plantations of matters that seemed
all wrong to the farmers and repeat
eddy asked the farmers to speak out
their beliefs and convictions.
Grain rates will be reduced from
all points in eastern Washington and
the reduction will take place in time
to benefit the farmers on this years

has been fear of an outbreak of yell
low fever in those cities. Should such
a danger appear it would be incum-
bent on this government to inquire
why the sanitary measures had been
abandoned after the Cuban consti-
tutional convention had adopted the
Platt amendment. That amendment
provided that Cuba should execute
plans to be mutually agreed on for
the sanitation of the island to pre-
vent the recurrence of epidemics and
infectious diseases. Without any de-
sire to embarrass the Cuban govern
ment, the United States government
must insist on the continuance Of
these plans of sanitation as means
of protecting the country from yell
low fever. The surgeon generals of
the army and navy are watching the
situation with concern. The whole
situation is said to be most embar-
RAISING to President Palma in this
experiment of plotting Cuba as an in
dependent government with eXpen-
sive governmental machinery and a
reduced income. The whole Cuban
people may be driven to seek annex
alton before congress meets in De-
cember, unless relief comes from
some quarter.
The state department has received
cablegram from Minister Squires
that the house has passed a bill au-
thorizing loan of $35,0OO,OOO. I'm
der the Plat amendment the United
States is bound to take cognizance
of every action of the Cuban govern
ment relating to loans.
The Cuban senate has also ap-
proved in part the raising of loan
of 100000 for the benefit of the
sugar cane growers.
