GETS STUNG DAILY.
Practice of an Iowa Man to Ward
of Rheumatism.
lie Says There 10 Little Profit in Zee
Culture Nowadays and Keeps
Apinry Solely to Prevent
Dread Disease.

Receiving the stings Of bees daily to
prevent rheumatism would not be a pop
ular remedy among people generally,
yet Myron G. Beals. of Sioux City, Ia,
has been bee culturist for years only
for the benefit which he says he receives
physically from the stngS of his busy
insects
Mr. Beals is one of the largest pro-
ducers of honey iE this country, having
several hundred hives. OF late years no
has expressed a desire to retire from the
business of an apiarist, and would do
so but for the feals that if the stings of
his bees upon his body are not contin-
ued, after his system has become inoc-
ulated with the tiyus, he will become a
helpless cripple from rheumatism.
Mr.. Beals is sincere in his belief and
points to the fact that his mother, who
lives in the east, is an invalid from rheu-
matism. and a sister is a cripple from
the same disease. II is in the family
blood, he maintains, and the stings Of
his bees are his only salvation.
'Therc is no profit in the honey bust
ness any MORE" said Mr.. Beals. "espe-
cially in the west. The country has
grown and settled up so that the wild
flowers are almost extinct, and the
bees have few sources of supply for
their raw material. l suppose | shall
keep my bees, however, as long as
live.
1T is fact known to the medical pro-
fession that the sting of the bee has vir-
tue in curative way, and the virus can
be bought at the drug stores. l scarce
ly notice the stings Of the bees any more,
as far as the pricking sensation is con-
cerned. 1t used to be painful, but now
4 can receive stings all over my head,
face and arms and scarcely notice 1t.
bee stings have killed many human
beings. as we'll as cattle and horses. If
q person not accustomed to stings were
to receive as many as do at one time
don't believe he would survive the
experience. I believe the effect Of be-
ing inoculated with the poison Of the
bee Is like having the system filled with
alcohol or any narcotic-the more you
have had of it the more you can stand.
There is nothing in the statement
that 1t IL possible to handle bees in .
careful or kind way and avoid being
stung. have been in the business for
. good many years. and know they are
no respecters of persons. You are apt
to get stung when you are not expecting
1t. When one bee in swarm stings you
you are almost certain to be stung again
and again, for there is a certain odor
which seems to come from a sting that
attracts other bees and angors them.
The more you fight a swarm the more
you will be stung. for bees are peculiarly
subject to excitement.
Bee culture is one Of the most fas-
ciniating studies. 1t Is an interesting
science. l understand how to care for
them. and want their stings. have oc-
casional rheumatic twinges in my mus
cles that give me anxiety for fear shall
be subjected to the fate of other men,
bers Of our family. and shall not run

Death of D. e. McSweeuey.

Daniel +. McSweeney, for many
years advertising manager of the
Minneapolis Tribune, passed away Mt
G:3O O'Clock last Tuesday evening ut
st. Mary's hospital, after undergoing
a most delicate operation. A malig
nant cancer was removed as the only
hope of prolonging life. Mr.. Nc
Sweeney lived for 4S hours before
death came to his relief. For three
years past he had suffered intense
agony. The doctors told him finally
that it was only Il question of weeks.
possibly months, and that he had best
put his house in order; the only al
tentative, the one chance in thou
sand was an operation. The operation
might be his salvation; that was the
infinitesimal chance. The chance that
amounted almost to certainty that
he would die under the knife, or live
few hours or days and then die. Nc
Sweeney took the chance, the one ter
rible chance for life. Brave he was
to the last; hopeful to the last; even
loyal to the last, for as he lay
on his pallet IN st. Mary's hos
pital, breathing ether, surrounded by
skilled surgeons who held their instru-
ments in their hands, and by gentle
nurses he remembered some minor de-
tails of his work at the Tribune office,
and gave directions concerning it.
Then he sank into oblivion only to
awaken with a poor, tortured body,
but an unconquerable soul that had ac-
ceptcd that one faint chance of life
and was ready to fight for it.
Daniel Il. insolvency was born so
years ago in the city of Detroit, Mich,
where his aged father still resides.
He came to Minneapolis from Sioux
City, Iowa, % years ago, and ever
since then, with Il few Interruptions,
he has been connected with the adver-
Using departments of Minneapolis
newspapers. For the last thirteen
years of that time he has been con-
nected with the Tribune almost con-
tinuously. For seven or eight years
after coming to this city he was con-
nected with the Saturday Evening
Spectator, now merged with another
publication, as part owner, his asso-
ciate being II. J.. Hosllinson. For a
short time he was with the Minneap-
oils Times and for short time with
the st. Paul Dispatch. Essentially,
however he was Tribune man. He
served under a. j. Blethen, G. A.
Pierce and r. r. Andrews, and for
the last year and a half was himself
the head of the advertising depart
ment. Hearty and opcn-hcarted as
Insolvency. was by nature. it follow
ed, almost necessarily, that he was
frank and outspoken. He loved to
converse with his friends. and he
loved to discuss politics. His CONVEX
sations were strong. and he was
sharp at rcpartee. but his arguments
were always delivered in good humOr.
He will be missed by none more than

customcd to meet him for a social chat

Foot Ball,

Unless the strength of Ames has
been overestimated, Minnesota will
have stiff game to-day. The report
has been spread around ut the uni
versity that the agriculturists are dad
ones and as a result the enthusiasts
are considerably worried over the out
come. Last fall Coach Ristine's men
We're defeated 16 to O in a rafting
good game. Eleven of these same men
who held the Gophers to the small
score mentioned have returned to
Ames and no doubt all of them will
be in the lineup in to-day's contest.
Heavier and more experienced it is
reasonable to expect the little Hawk
eyes will put up better game than
they did last year and if Minnesota
wins by three touchdowns she will
have demonstrated that she is far
stronger than she was at this time last
season. AS yet the Maroon and Gold
team has not been put to a thorough
test. In none of the games has the
defense been under fire. Weak teams
have been swept off their feet by the
rushing mass of Gopher Drawn and
muscle and the play has all been on
the offensive. To-day, unless Ames
has been overrated, Minnesota rooters
at times, and very likely, frequently,
will see the other side on the agrees
sive. The question whether against
the "Aggies' Minnesota's offense will
prove true and whether her defense
will make good remains to be seen.

Philippine Position. Not Wanted.

Philippine Positions Not Wanted.
Positions in the Philippines seem to
go begging. Several months ago Col.
Edwards. chief Of the insular bureau,
called upon the civil service commits
sion to certify candidates for $50
teachers positions paying from $4,000
to 5000 per annum. There were few
applicants, fewer took the examina-
ton, and only AZ were found eligible
for appointment. Another examina-
ton will, therefore, be held early in
October. The insular bureau will not
permit women to take the examina-
ton for these positions, and the du-
Ties or pay Of pedagogue do not seem
to appeal to the young men of the
country.

The board Of tax levy held it's final
session Monday afternoon, and ad-
journed after fixing a maximum tax
rate at 1855 mills. AS each mill is
equivalent to s12s,711, it means that
the sum of $3,S55, S9O.35 will be raised
in Minneapolis by taxation for the
1904 expenses. The board held very
deliberate session during the after
noon, and every effort was made to
reduce the tentative figure. The re-
suit was an increase over this by 2
mills. The cause for this was that 2
mills for the agricultural school, pro-
vided for by the last session of the
legislature, had not been included in
the original estimate. City Comptrol-
Ter Rogers also informed the board
that he would need 10 mills to take
care of the interests on the bonded
debt. The city is authorized to sell
100000 worth more of municipal
bonds, and it is quite certain that this
will be done early next year. Provi-
sion must therefore be made to care
for the additional interest that be-
comes due in 1905. The current ex-
pense fund was reduced 10 mills.

A Toy EIectroscope.

Some very pretty experiments may
be made with the simple apparatus
herein described. An ingenious boy
can make all the necessary prepare
tions and without expense.
Get Il piece of wire about six inches
in length and bend two inches of it
down at right angles. Then bend the
other end, also at right angles, but in n
direction opposite to the first.
Place the horizontal branch of the
wire on the rim of an ordinary glass
tumbler and let it hang there so that
the vertical part of the wire shall not
touch the inside of the glass. over the
lower branch of the wire hang n piece
of tin foil and then place on top of the
glass an ordinary tin plate.
Now, what you have to do. is to cleo
trify the tin foil. and this you can do
by rubbing n glass rod or n stick of
sealing wax with a wooden cloth and
holding it close to the tin plate, when
the two ends of the tin foil will fly
apart suddenly. This shows that you
have electrified the foil by means OF
the electricity awakened In the glass
rod or sealing wax by rubbing it.

Why Rarorn Get Tired.

'Do you know why we dip razor
in warm water before we begin shay
ing, and do you know why some ig-
norant men say razon is 'tired?" ask
ed the barber. "Well, this is all e Ne
to the fact that a razor is a saw, not
n knife, and it works like n saw, not
like n knife. Examined under the
microscope its edge, that looks so
smooth to the naked eye, is seen to
have innumerable and fine saw teeth.
When these teeth get clogged with dirt
all the honing and strapping in the
world will do no sood-the razor is
dull and nothing will sharpen it. Then
is the time the ignorant say it is
tired and stop using it, but the wise
know it is only clogged.
1.-The wise, though, don't suffer their
raZors to get cloGged. They dip them
in warm water before they use them.
and thus the teeth are kept clean. 1t
is because a razor is a saw that lather

One Dentists Advice.

$50 you have been trying to doctor

as the patient removed the bandage,

junctivitis. I'm many cases you can
cure yourself, but if you don't know
what treatments to avoid you are liza
BILE to do yourself injury. Old house
wife remedies are all right in their
place. but l would advise you not to
use tea leaves. They often give relief,
but they bring on other complications.
In fact. the tea leaf eye is well known
to the profession. The lid is puffy, fab
by and lifeless. If you wish to reduce
the Inflammation in your eyes use hot
water with n cloth. That is enough.
Yes; you may add salt If you wish, but
it is not necessary in most cases. Salt
is merely an antiseptic and has no
other virtue for eye lotions" - New
