Early Use Of Coal in China.

Early Use of Coal in China.
Marco Polo, the Portuguese,
was the first European since the
days Of Greek and Roman as
tendency to explore the remote
parts Of Asia. This was in the
latter part of the thirteenth CEN
fury. A correspondent of the
Bulletin, in looking through
Marco Polo's account of his trav-
els, found the following reference
to "stones which are burnt in
stead of wood :" sit may be
observed, also, that throughout
the whole province of Cathay
there are kind of black stones
cut from the mountains in veins,
which burn like logs. They
maintain the fire better than
wood. If you put them on in
the evening they will preserve it
the whole night and will be
found burning in the morning.
Throughout the whole of Cathay
this fuel is used. They have al
so wood indeed, but the stones
are much less expensive
This early reference to coal is
of especial value because it shows
that the Chinese possessed a
knowledge of its use six hun
dred years ago, before coal was
was much used In Europe.
Frankfort, KY, Dec. 23.-The

DOCTORS COFFEE

Coffee drinking troubled the family
of physician Of Grafton, w. Va, who
describes the situation briefly:
Having suffered quite a while from
vertigo, .palpitation of the heart and
many other arrangements Of the nerv-
Gus system. and finding no relief from
usual methods Of treatment, thought
to see how much there was in the
Postum argument against coffee.
$50 resorted to Postum, cutting off
the coffee, and to my surprise and sat-
isfaction have found entire relief from
all my sufferings, proving conclusively
the baneful effect Of coffee and the
way to be rid Of it..
II have found Postum completely
takes the place Of coffee, both in flavor
and in taste. It is becoming more pop
ular every day with many of our peo-
pie and is having great demand here.
my daughter, Mrs. Long, has been
q sufferer for long time from at
tacks Of acute Indigestion. BY the dis
missal Of coffee and using Postum in
its place she has obtained complete re-
lief.
az have also heard from many
others who have used your Postum
very favorable accounts of its good
effects.
II prescribe Postum in place Of cof-
fee In a great many cases and be-
lieve that upon its merits Postum will
come into general use" Name given

HEARST is DENOUNCED
New York Evening Post Flags Pub
Usher in Scatlling Article.

New York, March I'm an edito-
rial. anent the aspirations Of William
Randolph Hearst to secure the presi-
Dental nomination on the democratic
ticket, the Evening Post says:
We have been reluctant to speak of the
presidential candidacy Of w. r. Hearst.
We have felt it to be one Of those things
that rneed much washing to be touched" ;;
and had hoped that it's grotesque and hui
initiating aspects would put him out of
consideration by oil but the bought and
rotten. But it is evident that his unblush-
ing campaign-based, as a democratic SEN
ator has said, purely upon cheek and a
checkbook''-is making some Roadway.
Hearst stands to-day as the greatest
temptation to the democratic party to play
the fool and break its neck against.
Almost any other candidate prominently
mentioned would have chance Of slec-
tion,s but Hearst is enough to sink any
cause and damn any party.
We are convinced that it is only neces-
sary to set forth the facts in order to
make an end of these unspeakable candi-
dates. Hearst's record will crush him as
soon as it is known.
An agitator we can endure; an honest
radical we can respect; fanatic we can
tolerate; but a low voluptuary trying to
sting his jaded senses to a fresh thrill by
turning from private TO public corruption,
is anew horror in American politics. To
set the heel of contempt upon it must be
the impulse Of all honest men.

Berlin, March 2.-The rising Of ma
tive troops in the Cross and Nsassan-
ang rivers region Of German Kamerun,
West Africa, was caused by the eccen-
trio conduct of Count Won Pueckler,
and was directly due to the theft Of
lantern.
Won Pueck1er, the governments
commissioner, was formerly an en-
ploye of the Northwest ,Kamerun COM
pany. He wrote Herr Scholler, presi-
dent Of the company, a long letter re-
garding the stolen lantern, concluding
with the assertion that he intended
to make the property of the white
men RESPECTED by burning five VII
lagos.
Herr Schoeller protested, but too
late. Won Pueckler, with twenty-five
men tried to arrest the head men Of
one of the villages, but the count was
killed and his escort with difficulty
escaped.
In a few days the companys fac
tories were burned down and four
agents were killed. A punitive expe-
dition has now arrived in the hostile
district.

Winnipeg, Man., March 2.-The
scourge of smallpox has nearly wiped
out Indians in the Isle De Cross dis
trict, over a thousand miles northwest
of Cumberland House.
So far over sixty deaths have oc-
Cured there, and at last reports the
epidemic is still raging. Hudson Bay
traders are making heroic efforts to-
top the spread Of the disease, but
are meeting with small success.
A few days ago a doctor left on a
holiday to this northern post. On the
way up he met traders who told him
of the sufferings there and he sent
back for vaccine.
Commissioner Laird Of the Indian
department, says that a detachment
of mounted police has been sent to the
settlement with doctors, but it will be
some days before they reach there.
Another trader tells Of finding a
village hitherto unknown, where the
Indians also have smallpox and besides
are very short of food, but he stated
that when he left there no deaths had
occurred u
Every fur trader from the far north
tells of suffering among the Indians.

Des Moines, Iowa, March 1.-THE
aftermath Of the primary election
rioting came to-day in the form of
forty-four informations sworn to by
Hull adherents, charging various
Prouty judges with fraudulent prac-
tees and accusing others of repeat
ing" bribery and rioting.
Judge l.. I. Silvara, police magis-
.trate, sWore out a warrant upon which
Fred Bracket, chief of police, was ar
rested, charged with assault and bat
terry, and Bracket retaiated by hav-
ing Silvara arrested on a charge, of in
citing a riot. This was the outcome of
a riot at the city hall precinct, when
Bracket and four policemen, it is
alleged, assaulted Silvara and three
others, one Of whom was H. Devere
Thompson, a millionaire, and threw
him from the building. All the men
were more or less injured and their
clothing was half torn off.
Numerous incidents Of this kind oc-
CURED and almost every man in the
vicinity of the voting places was
armed. Only a few shots were fired
and they did not take effect. There
were many victims Of other kinds: OF
weapons, however, and one OF them
Charles North, was SO severely stabbed
that his recovery, Is doubtful.
Il. E. Harrah is urged to have May.
or Brenton arrested for assaulting him
in street car last evening. The hus:
bands of several women who were
frightened by the broil desired thai
the mayor be arrested, but ,Harrah de-
clined, explaining that the mayor
made the attack in the heat of cam
paign excitement and should be ex
cused.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, March 2. The
article in the Journal last Satur-
day regarding. the state of SEN
timent in Washington over the can
Cotton for delegates to the Chi
cago convention, apparently has
home, judging from kilograms and
letters which have come to the
members Of the Minnesota dele
cation in congress. Senator Clapp,
it is said, has received letters and
kilograms by the score from prom
inent republicans in the st. Paul dis
trict as well as from other parts of
the state, asking what the senti-
ment of the delegation is as to the
candidacy Of the men named, and in
dicating that there is a good deal of
state over the facts Of the situa-
ton -. Other members of the dele
CATION have been favored with COM
munications by mail and wire and al
together it begins to look as if a
merry war were coming on.
From all that can be learned here,
Eli Warner is championing the can
and takes the position that Kellogg
must be sent as delegates in order to
show The Minneapolis Journal that
it does not run the republican politics
in Minnesota. From the. Duluth dis
trict comes a wall because T h e
TX urnal has ventured to- say a
word about Mr.. Cotton's monopolistic
connections. Both men are now to
be sent as delegates Tor the particular
purpose Of rebuking T h J Q ur N a
for calling attention to their cases
The delegation, Of course, is taking
no hand in any contest of this kind,
and cannot do so. AS was reported
last Saturday in this correspond ence,
the leading men in the delegation view
the candidacy of both kellogg and
Cotton with regret.
While liking them personally and
conceding them to be fine fellows and
good republicans, the point is made
that their connection with the Stan
dard Oil company is SO intimate as tc
embarrass the party in it's work dur
ing the campaign in the state as vel
as to handicap the delegation in its
work here. After the warning thai
has been given, if the state sees fl
to select these men as delegates, the
delegation will have no objection. Its
up to the party leaders at home to de-
| eide, what should be done.
