named Henry Price. who has survived
one OF the worst attacks of lockjaw

treated. The recovery of Price is at
tributed to the use of anti-toxin. 500

Albany for the use of the local sur

was reported about week ago.
Price is now able to sit UP in bed
and to move his mouth and arms, and
it is thought that in short time he
will completely recover. DIR. Davis

SHOT AT PRESIDENT DIAz.
Criminal Fails In Attempt to Assassi-

Criminal Falls In Attempt to Assassi-
nate Great Mexican.
An attempt to assassinate President
Diaz was made Oct. 81, as he was
passing the Cantandor Garden at
Guanajuato.
Elias Toscano. a notorious criminal,
fired five shots at the president. Al
though he used ball cartridges at short
range, Diaz was not injured, nor was
the car in which he was riding hit
by any of the bullets.
Toscano has a most evil reputation.
HIS latest crime was the murder of
the jefa politlco of San Luis Potisi,
for which he was sentenced to term
In prison. He had just been released
when he attempted to kill the presi-
dent. He is now closely guarded in
Jail at Guanajuato.
An attempt was made on the life OF
President Diaz on Dec. 16, 1897. He
attended on that day the public cele-
brations in the City of Mexico of the
anniversary of Mexican Independence.
During the festivities a man rushed
toward him and. evading all efforts
made to check his progress, reached

State Official Collects Statistics for
French Scientist-Their Lot Had.
A Boston state official who has been
investigating the subject for Prof
Friedrich Prinzing of Paris, has dis
covered that Boston has more widows
in proportion to its population. than
any other city in America, even Chi
cago, Philadelphia. New York and
other large centers. The young
widow, he says, is one of the most
unfortunate of beings. and not at all
the gay butterfly which popular fancy
has pictured. sm
Prof. Prinzing has collected re-
markable group of statistics which
show that poverty sorely oppresses
the widow, and that she Is more sub
ject to insanity consumption, conflict
with the law and death than her mar
ried sister All these woes fall more
heavily on the young widow. Dr. Prin-
zing's opinion is that the state should
make provision Ior the support of the
widowed and their children, directly,
instead of indirectly through hospitals
and insane asylums.
There are 5000 900 widows in every
55,000,000 of population. of whom 4GO,.
900 have absolutely no income.

America. Thissociety was organized
some time ago under the laws of the
Estate Of Indiana for the purpose OF.
controlling the prices Of farm pro-
ducts, with particular reference to
the surplus. The plan of the society
is to send the organizers into every
state of the union, form these socie-
ties in counties and then merge the
whole into I'M gigantic and powerful
trust. 1t would doubtless be a great
institution, beside which other trusts
would pale into insignificance.

at Elkton and assisted in ~perfecting
the Organization. 1t is understood
that otherscounties will be organized

just how kindly the farmers will

to say at this time. Many Of them
will view with suspicion the organiza-
ton that evidently wants to do so
much for them. The farmers alli-
