Basgagemen to Carry Papers.

Postmaster-General Payne has de-
cided to have the baggagemen on
trains not carrying postal clerks dis
tribute newspaper mail. This decis-
ion was made on the application Of
many newspapers and will greatly ia
~cilitate the transportation of this
class of mail. The plan contemplates
that the baggagemasters shall be
sworn in as p~ostofice department en-
ployes and lat they shall be paid for
their services. 1t is intended that
they shall deliver the papers to whom
they are addressed, at points along
the line, from the car doors, thus saw
ing much time which would be lost
in case the papers were inclosed in
the pouch, as this would necessitate
their being taken to the local post
office before they could be delivered
to agents. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the service through the bag.
gagemen will be much less than II
postofice employees were supplied for
all such trains.

SCIENTIFIC
Away Up Amid the Clouds.

ST. Louis will be the Mecca Of met
e~orologists during the Worlds Fair II
the plans of Prof. H. Erdmann, n OF
Germany's famous scientists, are car
ried out as indicated in a letter re-
ceived Tuesday by Chancellor W. S.
Chaplin of Washington university.
Prof. Erdmann proposes to send to
the Exposition an enormous balloon
to be used for taking the temperature
and pressure of the upper strata OF
the atmosphere. The balloon will be
sent up to as great a height as the
scientists can stand and the atmos-
pheric conditions of the upper air sub
jected to exact measurements. In
struments designed by Prof. Erdmann
will accompany the balloon to this
country and daily observations will be
made. Inquiry vas made In the let
ter as to the facilities for obtaining
sufficient gas to fill the balloon, which
has q capacity of 307, 900 cubic feet.
Director of Works Taylor states that
the gas supply on the Exposition
grounds will be ample to fill the bal
loon in two hours. Conditions Of the
p atmosphere are as yet little un-
derstood and have been measured
only by instruments sent up without
an observer to watch the dials. Pro-
jects similar to that Of Prof. Erdmann
have been planned by the department
of agriculture at Washington, but
were not carried through for the lack
Of available funds.

A HUGE LAND GRANT
Senator Pettigrew Gets II from the
Mexican Government.

Sioux Falls, s. D., special.-Former
United States Senator Pettigrew has
secured a grant of 100000 acres of
land from the Mexican government.
On the tract are several thousand
acres of timber and a vast herd OF
cattle and horses. Two large rivers
form the northern and southern boun-
daries, while the eastern border runs
to the Gulf of Mexico.
A never failing crop is raised every
year, but it is Mr.. Pettigrew's inten.
ton to raise two crops each year by
irrigation. He proposes to tap one
of the streams at various points and
divert a portion of It's wasers across
the plains.
He has entered into an agreement
with South African Beers, who have
taken 100,O 900 acres of the land and
are under contract to have 400 fam
lies established on their new posses
sions by Sept. l of next year.

THE TURN OF THE TIDE.

The country is gradually experience.
ing the economic and financial change
which has been ANTICIPATED, a tapering
off of the flush and speculative condi'
lions of the past three years. The work
of the promoter is ended-nothing do.
ing in that line, and that is a good
thing. Interest rates are advancing
and money brings 6 and 7 per cent as
readily as it did four or five years
ago. Water enough to run a lot OF
big mills has been squeezed out OF
corporation securities, and there is
mor to be wrung out of them yet.
Hardpan is in sight. The land boom
was the last of the speculative fire
workS-always is. The next strikes
will be to prevent a cut in wages and
not to compel an increase, and the
time is not far off when the man will
be hunting for a job instead of the job
hunting the man. IL has been a pretty
a share in it. The wise man has paid
up his debts and in a large measure
made himself Independent of more ad,
verse conditions. The foolish mai
has run his credit to the limit and may
we'll dread pay day. The American
people are never content with moder
ate profits and healthful prosperity in
a small way. They are always either
"lickerin' up or SOLDERING off, raising
the devil or being converted, ready to
sacrifice a reasonable competence fo1
a run for a fortune or the poorhouse,
and in doing thus they manage to get
a-plenty of variety and excitement.

G AND CRIMINAL
Quit Over Big Oil Tract.

A suit has been filed In the district
court at Austin, Tex, involving the
title to 4,400 acres of land, embracing
all of the Saratoga oil field and val
ued at more than 100000 The
plaintiff in the case is Georgeria La
zarain, of Wilson county, and the de-
PENDANTS are j. L. Hume and others,
of Austin. The plaintiff bases her
claim to the land on the ground that 1t
was granted to her father by the
governor Of Coahuila and Texas in
1885 and THAI title passed to her
mother upon his death and that she is
the sole heir. A few days ago she
sold the land to Mr.. Hume, M. G,
Johnson, P. j. Houston and P. G. Ber'
rera, all Of Austin, for $3.50. The
plaintiff alleges in her petition that
she was ignorant Of the value of the
land and that she made the sale upon
Misrepresentation in this respect
She asks that the conveyance to Mr.
Hume and others be set aside and
that $4,000 damages be given her.

A Stocking COR

A stocking room" has been built
and furnished in the National Bank
Of Commerce of Kansas City. 1t is
called the stocking room" because it
is a place where a woman may go to
be alone, while she takes from its
hiding place the money she wishes to
deposit. In the room are three ma
hogany svools about IL inches high,
with a leather cushion top on each.
The stools are not intended for seats.
There are chairs for that purpose.
--e stools are for women to put their
feet upon while they are taking out
their money. mot many men will
ever see the inside of the stocking
room," said Mr.. Winants, vice-presi-
dent of the bank. 1T is sacred to the
use of our women clients. l have

Electric Wave Explodes Powder.

The noted scientist, DR.. LIE Bon,
who lately has been experimenting
with the Hertz waves, recently dis
covered that it is possible to send a
current of electric waves by means of
a simple reflector through the air
over a distance of several miles, and
that this current can be made strong
enough to explode powder or dyna-
mite. In one of his last experiments
he exploded a number of cartridges
of different kinds, which were placed

GENERAL POLITICAL
Half Million Negroes Going North,

Through an organized movement by
the Rev. ]. Henry Duckrey, of Cam
bridge, Mass, 100000 negroes will
have emigrated from the South to
points between Troy, N. Y, Boston
and Providence within three years.
The work of arranging for the migra-
ton has been carried on secretly by
the Northwestern and Western Immi-
grafton society, Of which Mr.. Duckrey
is the president. The organization
has unlimited money at its command,
subscribed by wealthy men and wo-
men, who believe that this scheme Is
the safe and sure solution of the ne
gro problem. The negroes will be
distributed along the line of the Bos-
ton ond Maine railroad. Many of the
coming negroes are skilled laborers
and some are women, but all are seek
ing employment. The negroes say
they are willing to join the labor
unions, but though the unions do not
want them, they will come just the
same. Mr.. Duckrey is in close touch
with persons in Troy, Albany and
eastern cities, and says that from the
encouragement given him he believes
he can get 10000 persons out Of the
South by Nov. 1. A manufacturer of
paper boxes at Cambridge, Mass, has
agreed to employ 100 Of the negro
women and arrangements are now be-
ing perfected whereby several thou
sand colored persons of both sexes
Wal find work. A large number will
remain in northern cities, while some
will be sent to the farming districts
Many persons believe that the coming
of so many negroes to this section will
fill the poorhouses and cause wild de
scents to be made upon the charity
organizations. Many others believe
that the w~orkingmen here to-day will
be cut out of employment. On the
other hand, the members of the I'm
migration society assert that they are
perfectly able to take care Of every
negro man and woman coming here
and each VIII be provided with EN-
ployment. Mr.. Duckrey has letters
from the business men who offer tt
furnish employment to the negroes
Immediately.

RELIGIOUS
Nude Donkhober Women Whipped.

Lashed into obedience by the heavy
whips Of their husbands and brothers,
several hundred Dunkhober women
"a winnipeg, Manitoba, were forced
to abandon their pilgrimage in search
of Jesus. While nude, the misguided
women started across the prairie in
the morning, singing their strange
hymns, and soon a band of Dunkhober
men was in pursuit. When the men
caught up with the procession words
of entreaty to return were met in sto-
lid silence. Commands were ans
wered by scriptural quotations, prov
ing the righteousness Of the march.
Then, as a last resort, came the use
OIL the whips. No mercy was shown.
Young and old alike felt the sting of
the cutting rawhide across their bare
shoulders. Unrelenting we're the
men and the blows fell unremittingly
until the misguided women were all
safe under roof again. Blood flowed
in streams from some of the women's
backs, but, as they are a strong and
hardy race, no fears are had for their
recovery. Cowed into submission,
they have promised to remain al
home and cease their vain efforts to
locate the redeemer on this earth.

Nuts and Tomatoes His Food.

Peter Johnson, of 1912 Washington
avenue south, Minneapolis, Mimi, has
had nothing to eat but a handful Of
nuts and raw tomato a day for nine
months. He is a living example OF
the ~so-called fasting fad for foolish
persons.
johnson had partial paralysis OF the
left side a year ago, he was a victim
of Bright's disease, weighed 24O
pounds, suffered from asthma, and
was informed by his medical advisers
that he could not live more than a
month or two. Now Johnson weighs
ITO pounds, is harder than nails and
free from aches or pains.
johnson tasted nearly 40 days
when he began his cure" Then, as
he tells the story:
81 ate half a tomato a day for a
week, and then increased to a whole
tomato. After awhile l added a hall
pound of mixed nuts. Three weeks
from the time l began eating l was
told to eat more by degrees, but never
to overfeed. l shall neve take g

with plenty of water, keep me in
splendid condition. l I'M as sound as
