What is all this hue and cry in some
Of the state papers demanding that
certain prominent men Of the state
come forward and tell the public what
candidate for governor they intend to
vote for and the reasons therefor Is
not this u free country? Is it any
thing to the discredit Of Gen. McCul-
Tough that Senator Dillingham; is like.
ly to vote tor him? Is Senator Dill
ingham to be hauled up before ju y
of the people and made to prove to
their satisfaction all the reasons he
may have for choosing his preference?
Such an idea is preposterous and so it
is when it concerns any other parties
than those menti ned.

The government Of the United
States is bound to protect it's citizens
in foreign countries from almost every
sort Of unjuss persecution or jeopardy,
and in many cases it is justified in
protecting the lie of an American,
even though it should involve the
calling out Of every able bodied man
in the country to enforce the ultima.
tum. But in the case of James Nal.
10y, the Boston boy who joined the
Boer forces and was taken prisoner by
Great Britain, Uncle Sam would act
more wisely by leaving him to his
own resources than by taking any
kind of official action requesting his
releaSs.

From nearly every corner OF the
state comes the call for a caucus law.
Good. Eveay town in Vermont needs
1t to purify it's politics. At present
no one can boast OF a law tt at actual
ly restraints dishonesty in elections.
True it is that a great deal Of legal
talent has been displayed in perfect
ing the rules and regulations Of the
ballot box land the voter has to be
shut up by himself in stall when he
marks his vote. All possible precau-
tions are taken that no undue influ-
eace shall be brought to bear upon
him at the polling place. All this is
very we'll, but we have shot high above
the mark that was aimed at. The
caucus is the real election and the poll
ing place figure head. While all
these restrictions are iron clad at the
latter place the former If left open to
any vandalism that cares to pray up
on it. Votes may be bought and
sold at the caucus and the law does
not raise a voice against it. The
caucus is equivalent to election. Let
the law bow to the conditions and
provide a remedy.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitu tional remedies.
Deafness is eau 4ed by an inhamed con-

you have rumb ing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever, nine

FLYING BULLETS.
One Way by Which They May Bs
Seen After Leaving the Rifle.

II don't believe the story that bullets
can be seen when fired from a gun,
said the old soldier. You know in the
army there is theory that men have
seen bullets, but they never lived to
tell Of it, because the bullets We're 60
ing straight for them and hit them in
the eye. The only men who have seen
the ordinary rife bullets in transit are
dead"
mo, they aren't" said the old hunter.
=" have seen many bullets flying. One
way by which you can see them plain
ly is by dipping them in glycerin be-
fore firing"
"Yes you might trace them by the
smoke then caused by air friction y
said the veteran, but you can't see the
bullets"
ooh, yes, you can" retorted the hunt
er. II have watched them often dur
ing target pr lctice, and any one can
see the large caliber bullets, though !
won't say as much for the tiny modern
missiles. The way to see a flying bI.'
let Is to get little to one side Of the
shooter, about five feet away from him,
say. Then run an imaginary line from
the muzzle of his gun to the target.
Let your eyes rest on u space of light
colored ground exactly on this line, and
when he fires you will see something
dark, like bee. fit past the light col.
dred space. That is the bullet. OF
course by the time the eye tells the
brain it sees the missile the bullet has
struck the target, but you have seen ii
all right"

FOREIGN BANK METHODS,
The Undeveloped System In Use In
Continental Europe.

NOHtIucntal EUROPE
A bank check is looked upon with
suspicion In Italy. Practically no small
tradesman would take q check, and
none of them keeps bank account. 1t
was still more surprising to me to find
that such statement would be almost
literally true Of Paris itself l was
studying the mechanism of the Bank
Of France under the guidance of one
of the officers. We went into one great
room in the old building in which there
were 200 desks inclosed in wire cages
all empty at the moment. l asked what
these were for.
"These cages are for our city col
lectors," l was told. when small
merchant bOrrOwS from the Bank of
France, he does not, as with YOU in
America, borrow bank credit and
have his loan merely added to his bal.
ance on the books of the bank. With
us the merchant, when he makes a
loan. gets the actual money and takes
1t away. He probably has no bank &C.
count with us. He writes no checks.
u,
would be the case in your banks, come
In and pay his Indebtedness with a
check instead of that we send col.
lector to him, and that collector is r.
paid the loan in actual currency Two
hundred men start out from the Bank
of France every morning to collect ma.
tured loans. Several days each month
1t is necessary to send out 400 men,
and on the LIST and the 10Th of each
month GOO collectors 20 out"
These collectors were uniformed
men, carrying leather pouches. Yin
which they have the maturcd notes
and which are later filled with curren.
cy as the collections are made from the
bank borrowers.
l stood at the paying tellers desk rs
l went farther along in my tour of the
Bank of France. AS halted there the
man who happened to be at the win
dow at the moment presented a check
for 10000 francs. The money was
counted out and handed over to him,
stored away in a big wallet, and he
passed on. asked If it were not I'm.
usual for Il man to draw out so much
currency and was told mat it was not.
1t was but another illustration of how
undevelope is the BANKING system OF
continental Europe IN its uses by the
general public.-Scribners Magazine.

FLOODS IN TEXAS.
Conditions in the Brazos Valley Grow
Worse-NO Improvement in Other
Parts OF the State.

Dallas, Tex, July 31-A report
reached here last night from Hills
boro that between 400 and 500 men
who were chopping wood in the bot
tom lands between Richland and
Post Oak creeks have not been heard
from since the heavy rains of last
Saturday and it is feared that some
of them were drowned. An effort
is being made to get into communica-
ton with the locality.
The flood conditions in the Brazos
valley continue to grow worse. The
river is again rising about Waco and
the crest of the flood was only a
short distance below that point yes
terday morning. The rains have
damaged the cotton crop materially.
The present crop promised to be the
largest in the history of the state,
but boil worms are developing ra-
pidly and farmers are becoming APP
prehensive.
Advices from other parts of the
state do not show any improvement
in the situation. The long continued
rains have softened the railroad beds
in many places where trouble has
never before existed.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Lunar II. Holmes, of Springfield.
Mo-, has refused to adopt the name of
Frisbie, though for doing so he would
have received $4,000. Louise Frisbie,
his aunt, left him that sum on condi-
ton that he make the change, but he
refused to do so. He had a year to
consider the matter.
John W. Donegan, justice of the
peace in Jersey City, has established
his claim to being considered man of
his word. Some months ago he an
nounced that he would give a hand
some suit of parlor furniture to the
twenty-frst couple for whom he tied
the nuptial knot. After officiating at
20 weddings he calmly took unto him
self a bride, to whom he has now given
the promised parlor suit.
Hillaire Belioc, whose peculiarly
vivid method of presenting history has
made his "Robespierre" so talked
about, was once a French artillery
man. He belonged to the Eighth reg
iment, and his post of duty was the
drivers seat of a gun carriage, where
he is said to have handled the reins
with conspicuous ability. What this
means in point of nerve and skill will
be apparent to anyone who has seen
rapid artillery maneuvers.
Some of the greatest men England
has produced have resoluteIy refused
to accept titles, even when urged to
do so. Carlyle was a notable instance
in the field of letters. Mr.. Glad
stone in the field of politics. The or
der of merit will meet cases of this
kind, and will be a higher badge of
honor than any title. Carlyle ac-
cepted the Prussian order of merit.
Lord Kelvin is now the holder of both
the Prussian and British orders.
1t is noticeable that newspaper and
book writer's have good deal of infiu-
ence at the white house of late. Booth
Harrington, William Allen White,
Kansas City editor; William Marion
Reidy, Missouri newspaper man; Al
bert Shaw, editor of the Review of Re-
views; Jacob Riis and Henry LOOMS
Nelson may be mentioned as among
those whose influence has contributed
to appointments. Then Henry Cabot
Lodge was a historian before he be-
came senator and Dudley Foulke Is
writer as well as civil service re-
former.
Gabrielle D'Annunzio, the distin-
guished italian writer, has been re-
ceiving during the last few months so
many requests for his autograph from
collectors and admirers, not only in
Italy, but throughout Europe, that he
has at last grown tired of signing his
name and has adopted novel method
of notifying the public that he is I'M
able to comply with any such requests
in future In the hotel at Bologna
where he is staying this notice may
now be read: "Gabriele D'Annunzio's
right hand is injured, and therefore
he regrets to say that he cannot write
his name in albums or on postal cards"

Damages Awarded the Family of a Man
Who Was Killed by an Accident Caused
by His Being Drunk.

ST. Louis, July 3O.-According to a
decision of the United States court
of appeals, which affirmed the judg-
ment for plaintiffs of the federal cir
cult court of Nebraska, a saloon
keeper may be held responsible for
the death of a patron of his place in
the event that death occurs from
an accident resulting from the in
ebriated condition of the patron. The
suit was filed by the widow and
daughter of Charles Walker against
John Moser and. others, who were
engaged in the saloon business at
Ashland, Neb. Plaintiffs charge that
Charles Walker on February z, 1900,
drank intoxicants to excess at
Moser's saloon and in consequence
was thrown from a buggy and killed.
A verdict giving plaintiffs damages
was appealed.

PRISON FOR WILSON.

= FilibusterinR Exped tioa = Minister
COrea Interposed Ia His Behalf and
His Life Was Saved

Washington, July 29.-The life of
DR.. Russell Wilson, of Ohio, who was
captured with a revOlutioniSt party
in Nicaragua, has been saved through
the representations of Minister
Corea, of that country. A cablegram
was received at the state department
to-day from Chester Donaldson,
United States consul at Mangua,
Nicaragua, dated the Goth, as follows:
ASA courtesy to the United States
president will commute Russell Will
sons death sentence
Wilson was one of several Ameri-
cans who joined a filibustering ex-
petition which landed at Monkey
Point, near Bluefields, early in July.
Most of the party were captured or
killed. Wilson would have been sum-
marily executed but for the inter
position of Senior Corea, the Nicara-
guam minister here. Having secured
a stay of proceedings and a guaran-
tee of a legal trial, the minister has
now induced President Zelaya to
commute the death sentence imposed
upon Wilson by cOurt-martial. Be
fore the receipt of this message it
was not known that the -eourt-mar-
tial had been held. 1t is presumed
that the Communication is for i'm
prisonmcnt for time, and then ex-
pulsion from Nicaragua.
Senator Hanna, who has been most
acti5 in Dr. Wilson's case, was much
gratifed when shown the Associated
press dispatch from Washington an
nouncing that the president of
Nicaragua would commute the SEN
tence of the prisoner.
