women are Christians. why do you
not stay at home and take care of your

of to-day are no longer good Chris

too much in public. They do not de-
pend on their husbands. They read
books which they cannot understand"

GERMAN EYE ON CUBA.
EDITOR ZOELLER STUDYING
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL
SITUATION OF Thu
ISLAND.


Havana, Cuba, April 3.-Hugo Zoel-
Ter, editor of the Koelnischo Zoitung,
one of the leading newspapers in Ger
many. who accompanied Prince Henry
TO the United States, is now in Havana,
studying the economic and political
situation IN Cuba.
lie thinks Germany should get a
larger share of the Cuban trade than
she has at present. He is also making
research iuto the theory of the trans
mission of yellow fever by means of
mosquitoes. He spent yesterday morn
ing at Las Animas hospital, whore re-
cont experiments were conducted, and
assertions of the advocates of the
mosquito theory were substantiated.
Upon his return TO Germany he will
submit the result of his personal OBJ
sorvations TO the government.
Herr Zoeller says that the greatest
work done for the Cubans by the Unit
ed States has been the eradication OF
the yellow fever plague.

Stag is Being Placed on the Street
In Large Quantities.
Claimed That It Cuts up Horses Feet and
Ruins Rubber Tires.

Complaint is being heard on all
sides about the material that is be-
ing used throughout the CITY to fill
up holes in the street. 1t is "slag"
from the iron furnace, and is not
only useless, it il claimed, but dan
gerous as we'll. 1t is crushed into
Jumps that cut like glass. The sharp
points stick in horses hoofs and IN
some cases cripple them, or is liable
to, and ruins nearly every rubber
tired vehicle that is driven over them.
A number Of bicyclists complain
that tires have been punctured by
riding over the places patched with
the glass like substance, and it seems
that the finer the stuff is ground by
heavy wheels, the more menacing il
becomes to the many rubber-tire
baggies and bicycles in the city.
1t is claimed that the Stag is utterly
useless, being so soft that it soon be.
comes ground up, and fills the streets
with dust that is almost as bad as
powdered glass 1t has no cement in

great mistake is being made in using il
for street repairs.
Former Mayor Lang at one time
thought Of placing some Of it on one
OF two of the streets, but learning its
nature, declined to put it anywhere.

WAITING FOR PLANS.

There is now nothing doing in tele-
phone circles. The projectors Of the
new limo are waiting for the drawing
Of the plans and specifications, which
will not be completed for two or three
weeks. Most of the stockholders and
members of firms who have been here
in connection with the work have
returned home until the plans have
been completed, but Mr.. Murray, an
electrical engineer, remains to look
after the oompany's interests.

FATAL INJURIES.
A Boy Dragged Half a Mile Near
Bandana. Ky.
Was Horribly Lacerated and His Skull was
Fractured by Kicks.

News has Just reached the city of
the serious injury of William Stewart,
age II, of Ingleside, who lives at tho
farm Of Mr.. Lem Reise.
Young Stewart had started TO Ban
dana with team hitched to a wagon.
The wagon had no bed and the boy
was sitting ON tho front bolster. The
horses became frightened within a
quarter of a mile of the town and
began to run away. Stewart fell off
his seat and became tangled in be-
tween the double tree of the wagon
and the traces; after he had been
dragged nearly to town the horses
ran into fence and stopped and be-
gan to kick him. Mr.. ]. ]. wilkins,
of Bandana, was one of the first to
reach the boy and found him in an
unconscious condition and nearly dead.
A physician was summoned and did
all in his power to restore the boy.
This morning he was reported in a
serious condition and not expected to
live. His bones are badly fractured
and his escape from instant death was
wonderful.

ENTERED BY THIEVES
LAST NIGHT.

Last night the dry goods and gem
ersl clothing store of t. Schwab on
Broadway was burglarized, the in
trudors effeo,ing entrance through an
upstairs window. The burglary was
discovered this morning when the pro-

He then made a detour of the store
and found a shutter pried off an up

VISITING FRIENDLY JUNGLE"
Pawning Your Jewels is = Social Funo-
tion In vienna

=
tion In Vienna.
In New York when people have &C.
casion to visit their uncle" at the
sign of the three gilded balls they gen.
orally do so in furtive sort of way.
and do not make their visit topic OF
conversation among their fashionable
friends afterward. But they do these
things better in Vienna. In the Aus
trian capital they have new and
handsomely appointed pawnshop,
where there are cosy tea rooms, read
ing rooms and every inducement to
spend an hour or so in chatting, read
ing or walking about the spacious
premises. 1t has become fashionable
resort. and quite the "swagger" thing
to do is to meet ones friends there
of a morning. The street before the
pawnshop is filled at the fashionable
hour with handsome carriages with
armorial bearings emblazoned on their
panels, and society meets in the luxu-
rious rooms to talk and gossip. In
|quiries are made as to what articles
have been pawned, the amount receiv-
Ied. and there is a great comparing Oh
notes on the subject of pawnshops gen
orally. 1t has been a well-known fact
for years that large part of Vienna
society frequently had to resort to
uncle" but 1t is only recently that
the practice has become a social func-
ton and the pawnshop a fashionable
resort. Once the carnival is over, there
family Jewels, which 1t would be lack
ing in piety to wear through the Lent
en- season, are packed up and taken to
"uncle's," and when summer is come
there go all the costly furs, which are
well taken care of during the warm
months. With the money borrowed
on them their owners are able to aug
ment their hilarity during the season
of roses and wine" leaving the reck-
oning day to take care of itself.-New

FOIey'S Kidney Cure
makes Kidneys and bladder right.


The newest plan for reducing the
flesh exacts no particular self-denial.
Those who are anxious to try its eff
fects need renounce only water with
their meals. But they are required to
make up for the water they avoid at
meals by the amount to be drunk dur
ing the day. Not less than two quarts
of water is the daily allowance. The
results are soon noticed and are said
to be as lasting as those Of any other
method of reduction.

the whole crop and damaged the

be barren next year.

prising to some farmers who never
feed it in the amount hog will eat.
Growing pigs and shoats like a ra-
ton of coal as regularly as they do
of corn, judging from the avidity in
which they take to it. In winter do
not think it necessary to feed it SO lib
orally, yet would fear no harm in sup
plying them with all they will eat at
all times of the year. My herds will
average upward of 125 head of all ages
for the year, and calculate that no
will justify their needs. With daily
supply of coal, fresh water, balanced
ration and good sanitary surroundings,
there is little danger of cholera or any
other disease affecting them seriously.
A mere handful of coal thrown two
or three times year to your hogs cam
not be considered guard against dis
ease, any more than one or two unor-
binary meals would induce health to
the human system on restricted kind
of food for the same length of time.
There is no substance in its natural
state that hog likes which would be
harmful if free access is given at all
times or at frequent intervals. In the
mineral impregnation of coal the hog
gets a certain element that is known
better to his own instinct and compo-
sition for the beneficial results through
mastication. may be fooled and meet
a surprise some day in the shape OF
hog cholera in my herd by placing such
faith in coal, but for the present l will
make it the "battle guard against
swine disease in all its forms until
convinced of its inetficacy.-J. +.
