What Happened to Casey.

Tucson, Arizona, October u.s.
Alexander Casey, a wealthy mine
owner of Turquoise, Arizona, last
night walked into the Willard hotel,
at Tucson, of which he is owner, and
began shooting in every direction.
The guests escaped for the. most part
through the windows. The shooting
attracted five policemen, who at
tempted to arrest Casey. He opened
fire and seriously wounded Constable
Pacheco. The other policemen then
began to shoot and Casey was proba-
bly, fatally wounded. He had been
drinking heavily.

If there is any-departmental per.

curiosity and inquiry just now, it is
developing in the Department of
Agrioulture.
Last week millions and millions o.
packages of seed of all kinds, which
go to the quota of Congressman

These seed constitute what was 6
little while ago valued at something

1t was seed left over after the last
distribution, it being the rule after
the completion of the giving oi
quotas to Senators and Representa-.

Wesleyan Methodsts to Vote Prohibition Ticket.

Grand Rapids, October 2S.-The
general conference of the Western
Methodist Church of America took
action to-day looking toward the
merging of that church with the Free
Methodist church. A committee of
five members was appointed to confer
with a similar committee from the
Free Methodist church and to report
at the next meeting. The conference
adopted resolution which requires
all voting members of the church to
vote the ticket of the prohibition
party. 1t does not provide, however,
that voting the other tickets would
debar person from membership.

One OF the m(,sc : - Ftin1 articles
| ia this old magazine H. Ssbioesaphical
sketch Of yardry MeBec, Of sreen-
vale. who was very distinguished
md a very wealthy man ii mis- day.
IL is stated that he had 81 grist ,niil,
q paper mill and q cotton mill on
Rsedy River, aboatsevsn miles below
Greenyille," as early as 1886.
In another part ofthe magazine is
an article n,ging the people OF the
South to ship their exports and
imports through Southern ports.
It is statedtbst tbs people of the,
South were losing 10 per cent on
exports and from 100 to 200 on
imports, ON account of the circuitous
transportation routes and the con-
sequent excessive gfreight rates.
This sounds nightly like the edito-
rails in the Charleston News and
Courier of the past summer.
The old magazine is intensely
interesttag'from startgto finish, and.
u is interesting mainly on account of
the familiarity of its reading matter.
The people of the South of fifty years
ago seem to have had pretty much
the same questions. before them that
confront che people of the South to-.
day. The, problems have not yet
been solved and history keeps on
repeating itself.
For instance, we are still talking
about the Nicaraguan Canal, we still
dream about the railroad from An
derson,to the West. aud our farmers
are still wanting accurate informa-
tion about the cotton crop.
ellike to pride ourselves on our
progress and enterprise, and. we think
that our fathers were slow w-going
people, but it seems that we are not
very much more advanced than they
were and the things that worried
them are worrying us.--Anderson

Boundary Question Decided.

The long standing dispute between the
United States and Can ida has been set
tied, or rather majority of the commits
sion appointed to consider the matter
under the recent treaty, has decided in
favor of the United States. The terri
nifty miles wide, extending from the
southernmost limit of Alaska proper
down the coast of British Columbia 10
the Doth parallel Of latitude. Although
the strip has been in dispute ever since
the purchase of Alaska from Russia, 1t
has never been considered important
until the discovery of gold in the Klon.
dixie. Then it became evident that con-
troll OF this strip meant the control of the
Klondike, and the dispute was renewed
on both sides with much earnestness.
Some time back it was agreed that the
matter be settled by arbitration, the
treaty providing for three commissioners
from the United States, two from Canada
and one from great Britain. Phat the
United States owned the coast line was
not disputed on either side; but the
question at issue was whether the ten
marine leagues from the coast line should
be measured from the fringe of islands
along 1T or from the water front of the
main land. One measurement meant
that the United States would control
Chilkoot and White passes, while the
other measurement meant that these i'm
portant entrances to the Klondike would
be under the control of Canada. The
sessions of the commission were long
and more or less stormy; but at length
Lord Alverstone came over to the side of
the Americans and gave them majority.
The Canadian Commissioners have re-
fused to sign the award, and Canada
generally is pretty hot over the whole
matter; but the sovereignty of the
United States over the territory in dis
pute may now be regarded as duly es-
tablished.
Local feeling at Vancouver is very Bit
ter over the award of the Alaskan boun-
Diary commission. There is much talk of
annexation and of Canada becoming in
dependent, business men being generally
much dissatisfied at what they pronounce
British disregard of Canadian interests
to please the United States.
1t is matter of comment that among
the discontented are Englishmen resid-
ing at Vancouver. Many of these say
that Canada will never achieve her
greatest possibilities until she becomes
part OF the United States.

"cabbaaes are Doomed. .

A number of counties In tho northern
part OF Georgia are greatly disturbed
over the discovery of a small worm, very
much resembling snake, about two
inches long, which has been found in the
heads of cabbages, and which has just
been pronounced by the State Chemist
to be deadly poison. A number of
deaths have occurred recently in White
county, which are now attributed to the
insect. The discovery of the worm has
resulted in cabbage being stricken from
the menu cards through Northeast
Georgia. The State Chemist says a
single worm contains enough poison to
kill 10 persons.

Tales, Man In the World.

:.
The tallest man in the world is 90.
ing to England.
He is Feodor Machow, of Kusjak,
and he is feet 9 inches in height
Until some scientists ssdisoovered'
him and brought him to Moscow
Feodor looked upon his abnormal
height as grave drawback. Now
he is rather proud of it.
This man is not only the largest
man alive, but his measurements are
greater than those of any known
of the past two generations. He is
but twenty-five years old, and re-.
markably well proportioned for his
height.
The Anthropological Society OF
Berlin is now taking very lively
interest in Machow, and many learned
me ii have measured and studied him
during the past few months. Prof
Felix Won Luschan, the famous eth
biographical student, has made the
official report and this is what he
finds:
81 have carefully examined and
measured from an anthropological
standpoint Feodor Machow, who is
now about twenty-five years of age.
"He is feet 8 inches in height,
and can therefore be classed with the
largest giants that have ever lived.
He exceeds in height all the known
living giants by at least head, and
Is in many respects of great scientific
interest"
AS matter of fact, all the giants
who have been exhibited in Europe
up to the present time were from 4.7
inches to SO inches shorter than
M achow. Their average height was
between 6 feet 10 inches and 7 feet
5 inches, according to documents
placed with the Anthropological So
ciety by the late Prof. Virchow. The
showmen, however, always exaggera-
ted the height in advertisements.
Feodor Machow comes from an
old Russian family, whose ancestors
are said to have cmigrated to Russia
from the South, probably from Syria.
His parents, as well as his two
brothers and one sister, are all of
normal size. His grandfather was
large, but in no sense a giant. 1t is
said, however, that in earlier genera
tlons OF the family large specimens
occurred. Viewing this case from
the standpoint Of the theory that
mental and physical traits are in
herited, it would seem that the
theory is strengthened to certain
extent, especially in regard to bodily
stature.
The boots worn by Machow, which
scarcely reach to his knees, reach an
ordinary person almost up to the
waist, and a twelve year-old boy
could easily find room inside of one
of them. The ring which adorns
the index finger of Machow's right
hand is so large that half-dollar
can easily bepassed through it. A
steel spring mattress of extra size
and strength had to be made for him
and placed on strong iron frame
This promising youth eats at each
meal at least three pounds of meat
and a proportionate quantity of
potatoes, vegetables and bread, with
relishing appetite. 1t is at the cost
of much trouble and still greater ex-
pense that the society is entertaining
him.-London Express.

Stomach Trouble Causes Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble is almost always caused
by stomach trouble. The stomach fails
to digest all the food, and the residue
ferments, forming excess of gas which
distends the walls of the stomach, caus-
ing pressure on the nerves and arteries
that lead to the heart This causes the
heart to palptate or skip a beat occa-
sionally, or both, which is usually very
alarming, causing grave apprehensions.
Rydale's stomach Tablets will prevent
this trouble. They digest the food and
prevent gas from forming in the stomach

heart will not trouble you. Sold by j.

there spread throughout the system

plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
