ON FUNERAL PYRE.
Russian Woman Tried to Gain Saliva
ton Through Agony.

From st. Petersburg the following dis
patch was received last night: A local
newspaper relates that young woman was
found lying on the beach of the Gulf of
Finland behind the Sergievo monastery
twelve miles from this city, with terribly
burned feet and legs.
The unfortunate woman had on a monk
cassock. She said she had been reading re-
ligious books and had concluded that self
incineration was the only sure means of
salvation. She attended religious services
at the monastery and then calmly prepared
her funeral pile.
She was unable to bear the pain of the
flames and attempted to return home, but
fell helpless and remained forty eight hours
where she had fallen before being found.
Her life may be saved.

Dredging Work Stopped.

From San Francisco the following dis
patch has been received: The work of
dredging through the shoal in San Pablo
bay to provide a deep-water channel to
Mare Island navy yard has come to a sud
den stop. The contractor has withdrawn
his dredging plant and the United States
commissioner has received no definite as
surance that he will again proceed with the
work. The War Department has been no
titled officially Of what has happened.

SOCIAL CLUB ORGANIZED.

A social club has been organized
in the city. Everyone knows what

Waxahachie sometime ago and the
man who was hired to keep" it is
on his way to the poor farm, with
12S indictments to his credit Il will
be the same way here if the project j 5

NIT such method of dispensing

cannot be taken away, and no one
can be hired to keep it for them.
The law is in fact so very strict that
one cannot be too careful how he
handles it.-Hillsboro Mirror.
The Mirror has been seeing COLLINS
ever since prohibition went into
effect in its county. No social club
of the character mentioned has ever
been organized in Waxahachie.
There were only three cases before
the last term OF court for violation
Of the local option law, and no two
were against the Same individual.
There is no one serving a term on
the county farm for violation Of the
local option law. The statement
that there are l2S indictments
against one man for such violation
is the veriest pipe dream" The
Mirror can certainly depend on Hill

o dog is of fieaz, and among other
things he said il was estimated that
with plenty of grazing one bushel OF
corn would produce IL pounds Of
flesh on hog. Lawyers, bankers
and doctors, he said, when they
learned their professions, could go
any whore and practice them, but a
farmer, il he was successful, must
exercise his brain more than any of
the professions, and he urged those
present to stand by this institute
and never on earth let 1t go down,
and he said when every body got to
raising hogs like they soon will, /:
will pay them better to ship in car
load lots to Fort Worth. Two or
three neighbors club together and
ship and the money this stock alone
will bring to these black land farmers
will be immense.
Every body who knows Uncle
Snort believes he knows all about
chickens and be made us nice talk
on that subject. He told is the kind
to raise and the profit there was in
it. He said any good ordinary hen
ought to lay enough eggs to clear
her owner one dollar year. He in
vited every body to bring their wives
and come to his poultry yards and
he would tell them there all he knew
about raising chickens.

DINGMAN'S FERRY.

We are on the sunny side of win
ter, crows, robins, spring fever aud
the grip are becoming plentiful.
Mrs. Peter Decker of Lehman
died, March 5. Of pneumonia, leav-
ing a husband and three children.
1t is SAID Alonzo Cron and family
will soon remove to Dunmore and
David Gron will occupy the Layton
farm vacated by his brother.
The poverty party was successful
beyond expectation and all enjoyed
the refreshments and amusements.
There was ain exciting contest be
tween two youngladies to determine
who should have the cake donated
by the president of the L. A S. No
bashful young men could be found
and the result is that the society
will have a surplus to begin next
seasons work.
There was an interesting discus
sion here lately as to the manner of
candidates presenting their names
'subject to the rules of the party"
Since the voters of Milford and
Delaware at the last election cut
loose from old traditions and rules,
we expect candidates in future, if
they desire election, to obey the
people and not the voice of ring
which would dictate for its own
interest.
There is scrap on here between
the auditors and supervisors over
the purchase by the latter of an $50
bridge from the county to replace
one which was built only a yeal
ago. Probably the court will have
to settle it but ouf fauditors deserve
credit for not allowing bills until
they are satisfied they are proper
and necessary.
Viewers of bridges should see that
abutments are built with good
quarry stone and not with eobble
stones which are cheaper at frs
but cost more in the end.
Rafting ties is now in order ant
our lumbermen are happy.
Isaac Smith is very sick but later
reports say he is improving.
David Jaeger hopes soon to bt
entirely well again.
The old folks on the farms are
having hard times. The young peo
pie seek employment in the citiei
and on railroads and leave th,
parents to look out for the ole
place, but when they get stranded
they are glad to play the prodiga
and get a share o. the fatted calf
John Drake Has left the employ
of Mrs, Ryder.
Owing to THROAT trouble Rev
Greenleaf flndsi it necessary t,

A Jack Knife speech

Anent Senator Morgan's extended
speeches on the Panama canal treaty,
the New York Tribune's correspon-
dent tells a story. Some one said in
Senator Hoar's committee room that
Morgan could talk an hour with a
jack knife as a subject. The senator
dropped in soon after and was shown
a queer knife. He began to talk
about it and continued for an hour
and a half Senator HOar is reported
to have fallen asleep and the other
senators one by one vanished from
the room. The subject, however, of
jack knives is an interesting one.
The best Of them are now made in
the United States, but as Senator
Morgan is a good democrat, he would
probably contest this statement as
they are the products Of a protective
tariff
