sneeze Cause of Death.

Cincinnati, O., Sept THE death
of w. S. Jordan, travelling passenger
agent of the Big Four railroad, is
traced to a very uncommon cause.
About two months ago Mr.. Jordan was
one of the staff of assistants sent from
this city with Excursion Agent Clar-
ence Horton, of the Big -Four, to Belle
fontaine, O., to handle the multitude
of delegates and visitors to the an
nual meeting of the Dun1ards, or Ger
man Baptists. One morning while
Mr. Jordan was about to get out Of bed
at his hotel he sneezed violently. I'm
mediately following this he was taken
with sharp pain in his right side.
Otherwise apparently In good health,
this pain continued to increase and
he was never free from it until the
time of his death. The internal in
jury he sustained through the one vio-
lent sneeze finally developed into an
abgcess and death resulted.

The man ON the stage who does the
trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him to tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.

they left the house by a secret door,
and before the pursuers were fully
aware of their movements, the elopers

DAILY stopped long enough to telephone
the Egin police to arrest Mcbride on

garden. that occupies a large section,
extending, on the garden map, over
the Dominion of Canada from Maine
to Minnesota. This exhibit is under
the personal direction Of Professor
Wheeler of Michigan of the United
States department of agriculture.
The liberal space allotted to this eX-
hibit has been cut up into numerous
subdivisions, and each of these sub
divisions in turn is turned over to
the various St Louis schools. A
class of pupils is selected by the
principal of the school SO honored
and the actual work of planting and
cultivating the garden is left to the
pupils, under. of course, the general
direction of Professor Wheeler. Lib
cral prizes are offered for the best
cultivated garden and for the best
results. The sight of the little tots
in their knickel'bockers and sing.
ham dresses. their sailor hats and
sunbonnets, equipped with hoe and
rake, is sight too seldom seen.
There are dozens of other features
surrounding the map that will revea

Growing on six acres of a gentle
southern slope of lesson hill, at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition, st.

the department of agriculture, and
is personally superintendent by D. A,
Brodie, late superintendent of the
western Washington experiment sta
ton, under the direction of w. j.
Spillman, agrostologist of the United
States department of agriculture.
The bureau of plant industry is
made up of eight Offices, comprising
vegetable physiology, fiber plant in
vestigation, poisonous and medical
plant investigation, and every phase
of plant life. Each of the eight Of
fees is presided over by chief, and
by vote of the combined Offices, w

planting and cultivation.
The several acres were fenced of
early in April, and the entire trac
was richly fortified. The ground
was plowed and narrowed, the sol
pulverized, and the entire trac
sowed to cow-peas. This crop no
only enriches the soil, but prevent

The monster map is, Of course,
the main feature Of this comprehen-
sive exhibit, and the crop grown on
this small farm will cost the govern
ment considerably more than $1,000
per acre.
A belt of blue grass lawn estab-
fishes the boundary and coast lines
of this gigantic map. The boundary
lines between the states are marked
by cinder paths three feet wide. The
territory comprising the fourteen
states and territories of the Louisl-
ana purchase is marked by a white
gravel walk. The states themselves
are to be planted in growing crops OF
the principal agricultural products
of the state. The cinder and gravel
walks serve as promenades, and are
of sufficient width to permi- the free
passage of visitors. Thus a laby-
rinth of passageways is created, and
the visitor may wand his way
through the maze and see by actual
demonstration just what crops are
grown in every part of the United
States and how they are raised. The
cereals will be the features of the
great northwest, while down in Flor
ida will be seen the growing pine
apple and orange and other semi
tropical fruits and crops. Tobacco
will be a prominent feature of Ken
tucky's allotment, while sugar cane
and cotton will be found growing in
the plots of ground representing other
southern states.
Not only will the products of each
state be shown on this map by grow
ing crops, but the section of the state
on which each commodity is moss
grown will be shown. In the great
northwestern state of Washington
the map at ST. Louis shows thai
wheat, corn, potatoes, hay and the
wild grasses that thrive in the semi

in the eastern portion, while in tht
