Gravity Suspended by KelIar.

Magician kellar, whose Forthcoming
engagement at the Opera House on
Monday night, Nov. 2, never claims to
do impossible things, but when you see
some of his new illusions you will be
ready to believe almost anything you
hear about him. In one of them he
has, apparently. succeeded in suspend
ing the inviOlable law of gravitation,
anG causes whatever he touches to lose
it's weight and float about, or remain
stationary in the air, wherever he wills
it. He places plank in the air hori-
zortally, and it stays there. Then he
hypnotizes a young lady and places her
in a reclining position upon the plank
and both remain. The effect is start
ling, for the audience has previously
been thoroughly convinced that he has
ha1 to resort to no such amateur SUBJ
terfuges as wires, mirrors or the like,
to attain the result. In oriental magic
and illusionary work Kellar will this
season present dozen marvellous new
Illusions; each of which is, apparently
more ineXplicable than it's predecessor
Yet he tells you plainly that everything
he does is the result of trickery pure
and simple. Get on to his tricks if you
can-if you do you are shrewder than
most people. His entire entertainment
of HindOO illusions and new tricks i'm
small magic will be given here The
seat sale opens next Friday at 10 A. M.

French King with his army. An alarm
was rung in about 2.30 p. NJ. from box
81 for Il fire at the house of Mrs. Sarah
l. Snow, 80 Chapel street. Mrs. Snow
vas working in the kitchen at her
horne. and smelling smoke coming from
the sitting room, went to Investigate.
She found the paper and woodwork
back of the stove all ablaZe. the stove
having become over-heated. She at
once began to throw water on the blaze
and had it all put out in a few mo-
ments. Someone, however, had run to
the door and shouted Fire and q by
stander had runS in the alarm. When
the department arrived. there was no
fire visible and the crowd seemed dis
appointed. Then the big horses lumber
ed off WITH the fire-6ghting apparatus
and everything was quiet once more.
The fire did only few dollars worth Of
damage.

Clerk of Courts c. w. Jones has lust
returned from a hunting trip in the
Patten region and has brought home
the regulation two deer. He REPORTS
that he never saw so many deer in the
woods as now. Or being questioned as
TO the number of hunters, especially
nonresident hunters, in the woods this
season, ne said that there were not as
many as usual by quite q large percent
age. This he had seen for himself in
the PattSn region, and he had seen bar
ties from the Moosehead region who
stated the same conditions obtained
there. On the other hand. he had met
sportsman from Fitchburgh, Mass.
whostated that he had never paid out S15
so willingly as for his hunting license
and had never got better return for his
money. Mr.. Jones attributed the de-
crease in number of hunters partly to
the report which was current. last sum-
mer. that the guides We're to increase
their charges to 81 per day, and partly
to the license law. A good many were
kicking against the license law who
would probably think better of it, an
other year. The hunting is all right
certainly, and after another year a bet
ter Judgment can be passed on the law
than now. At present it is acting as
assurance that the hunter who does go
will get game, and would be much less
likely to get shot than when the woods
are thronged with hunters.

For the convenience of the public in

For the convenience of the public in
the vicinity of the Diamond springs,
the proprietor, Geo. F. Temple. put in
two faucets last spring, so that those
who desired might obtain the water by
gong after it. That the kindness of
MIR. Temple was appreciated has been
shown by the large number of people
who have secured their drinking water
at the springs during the past season.
With the coming of cold weather, how
ever, it will be necessary to discon-
stinue the faucets. and this was done,
Sunday, but they will be opened again,
aiil the spring.

Manila, Feb. 25.-General San Migu-
els force Of insurgent ladrones has
abandoned Montalbank, sixteen miles
from hers and probably has fed to the
Morong mountains. Reports from Oso-
bcso indicate the presence of ladrones
in that vicinity.
Reinforcements for the government
troops reached Montalbank too late and
failed to overtake the retreating Ia
drones. San Miguel has about 800 men
with him.
1t is not believed that they can sub :
sist for any length OF time in the
mountains. The government is prepar-
ing to occupy the valleys and passes
and force San Miguel to fight or dis
band his followers.
Later reports indicate that only fif-
teen of the government troops (scouts
and constabulary) Were captured on
Saturday and Sunday when the Ia
drones surrounded the towns of Cainta
and Taytay, eleven miles from Manila
These men, as cabled on Feb. %, were
subsequently released bv the ladrones
after they had given up tlisir arms.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science Is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. It has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with
can be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from a cold or from an
attack of influenza fgrippe). and it has
been observed that this remedy coun-
terasts any tendency OF these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy ras been used dur
ing the great prevalence of colds and
grippe in recent years. and can be re-
lied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. BE on the safe side and take
chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
az the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures, For sale by all druggists.

He of the Fierce Mustache and Som
brero Entertained by President.
Washington. Feb. 25.-Seth Bullock
of South Dakota, was the guest of
honor at luncheon yesterday, and late
in the afternoon went out horseback
riding with the president. Bullock is
chief forest ranger for the Black Hills
district and is in Washington on official
business with the interior department.
When President Roosevelt heard he
was in town he sent for him and they
had fine time renewing old ac-
quaintance.
Bullock was the first marshal of
Deadwood, and he has been known as
"a bad man with a gun" ever since
the Black Hills excitement of twenty
or thirty years ago. When Mr.. Roose-
welt made his campaign tour thru the
west in 1900 Bullock accompanied him
thru South Dakota 1t was rumored
that Bryanites were planning to break
up the Roosevelt meeting in Dead
wood:
Don't you worry said Seth Bullock
to Mr.. Roosevelt. Leave that to me;
I'll fix EN-" On the afternoon before
the meeting he passed around the
word in Deadwood that he would sit
on the platform with Roosevelt that
evening armed with his six-shooters
and that he would kill any person who
made a disturbance Bullock attracted
general attention around the white
house. He has a fierce, melo- drama
mustache and wears a sombrero.

SALVADOR SAYS NO.
Refuses to Abide by Decision Of A
filtration BOARD

Refuses to Abide by Decision Of Ar
bitraton Board.
Chicago, Feb. 25.-William E. Cur
tbs, in Washington special to the
Record Herald. says:
Sometimes that amiable method of
settling differences called arbitration
goes wrong. and the government of the
United States is at present in great
perplexity on that account. year ago
the claims of California company
against the government of Salvador
were submitted to arbitration, the
tribunal consisting of Don M. Dickin-
son of Detroit, eX-Presdent Zalvidar
of Salvador and Henry Strong. chief
justice of the supreme court of Cana
da. The circumstances We're briefly
as follows:
A California company undertook to
improve the port of Triumfo, Salvador,
by building a harbor and docks, and
under their concession from the gov
eminent were entitled to the exclusive
privilege Of handling freight and GER
tain percentage of collections. The
enterprise proved so profitable as to ex-
cite the envy of local interests who
persuaded the government to cancel
the concession and give it to some
body else. According to the state
ments of Salvador, the California COM
pany offered to settle for 100000, but
the demand was rejected, and after
long controversy was submitted to the
arbitration of the tribunal above
named which rendered a verdict in ia
for of the claimants with damages
of 100000 The payment comes due
on the 1st of March, and Salvador viii
decline to pay the award on the ground
of fraud and excessive Judgment.
Among other items of the award OBJ
jeetaa to is an allowance OF 100000 for
attorneys fees, which the Salvador
minister claims and the officials of the
state department are compelled to adj
nit is unprecedented. 1t is not CUSTOM
airy for arbitration tribunals to make
an allowance for attorneys fees, and
at any rate it is freely admitted that
sec, 900 is a very liberal compensation
for the service of that brilliant orator
and charming gentleman. John p.
