Agent John Peterson, OF the United
States Express company at Britt, forty
miles west the city, was compelled by
two masked and armed men to open

also secured other packages of money,
and after binding and gagging Peter

medicine men have been arrested, but
Peterson was unable to identify them.
The $4,000 package was registered
and was to be transferred from The

the package in the shipping safe. IIc

The Louisiana Purchasc.

Mr.. Chrrl,S NJ. Harvey gives in the
current Worlds Work, some amazing
statistics as to The bigncss and value
Of our middle West and South--the
Louisiana Purchase" from Napoleon.
The thirteen original stat cover S20,-
944 square miles: the purchase COW
crS $4,000 square miles. All Europe
except Russia and Scandinavia is only
,23I 66I miles. Half a billion dol
lars worth Of corn was raised on the
purchase in 1902, rs per cent OF the
product Of the whole country. More
than half the wheat crop and 3S per
cent OF lis oat crop we're raised on thit
terrific y. Missouri alone has more
people than had the thirteen colonies
that rcyoltcd from Britain. Colorado,
il part OF the purchase, alone produc-
cd last year s2S, 900, 900 in gold, more
than the entire territory OF the Unit
ed States had produced from the land
ing Of Cabot tU the strike ut Suffers
mills in 1854. Montana alone has
added 81 900, ,0OO,O 900 to the worlds
veal h of metals. The corn yield OF
one state, Iowa, for the single ycal
1902 would pay six times over the
price we paid Napoleon for fourteen

watcrcress, but it is generally believed
now that the point has been cstab-
lished But the large use OF either
of these vegetables is dangerous unless
the consumer is exceptionally neat
and clean in handling them. More
typhoid fever has been carried about
in the leaves Of lettuce, raddishes,
creSs, tomatoes, and similar raw vegc-
tables, than In any other way, except
by drinking water, is the rather
alarming assertion Of Bonn Of Ger
many; but this statement is modified
by the explanation that 1t is in the
water used to cleanse the vegetables
of the dirt and grit rather than In
the leaves. Our table water is filtered
and boiled for table use when we have
any suspicion that typhoid turks in
the ncighborhOod, but tho servant is
allowed to wash the raw vegetables
with the suspected water. We eat
thus with our lettuce or tomatoes a
few thousand typhoid germs, and then
wonder how we ever got typhoid. It
Is not wonderful that we get it, but
1t is strange that 1t does not spread
more generally. Cooking vegetables
will destroy all typhyoid germs, and
one is safe in using suspected water
in this way. II cancer be Of parasi-
tic origin, the spread of the disease
by vegetables would likewise be pre-
vented by boiling.

sufficient. The Augusta Chronicle
says if Mr.. Macdonald's accusations
are well founded they constitute il
very serious matter and 1t is due to
the philanthropists or the North and
those in the South. who with lip aud

should be made plain. How that is to
be done thoroughly and SatiSfactorily,
we do not pretend to say. 1t is ,In-

Booker Washington owes it to him

wife died number of years ago. His
son Samuel recently obtained a
divorce, whcreupon the father took
out license to marry his sons grass
widow. 10 perform the ceremony
the services Of Rev. Winters London
were engaged. The minister had been
told by some one that it was unlawful
for Il man to marry his daughtcr-in-
law, and it was with some reluctance
that he stood before the contracting
parties and pronounced them man anc
wife. However, he went through
with the ceremony and then shifted t(
the other foot and said: My friends

for you to marry will keep this
license until ! learn how that is, and
II it is against the law, will not cal
you married and will return the
license to the clerk marked not exc.

case is now pending in the county OF
