ministrator. having sound knowledge
of native ways and character. lie
forme. ly was an employe of the North
west Kamerun company. but recently
had been employed by the government.
Herr schoeller, president Of the COM
pany, received in December last a
long letter from Count Won Pueckler
regarding the stolen lantern, conclud-
ing with the assertion that he intended
to make the property Of white men
respected by burning five villages.
Herr Schoeller inferred from the viz
lenca of the language of Won Pueckler
that the latter was deranged and wrote
both to the count and to the agents
of the company commanding that no.
thing be done over so trivial q matter
saying that the company for the first
time yas about to pay a dividend and
adding that the good will of the natives
must be cultivated.
Herr Schoeller's letters arrived too
late.
Count 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.
During the next few days the COM
pany's factories on the Cross rivd
were burned down and four agents
were killed.
A punitive expedition has now arriv-
ed in the hostile district.
Count Won Pueckler, as appears
from information subsequently receiv-
ed by Herr Schoeller, had recently
given away to fits of fury against the
negroes, attributable to the state of
his health as result of his long resi-
dence in the hot climate Of Equatorial
Africa.

Springfield, ILL.,, March 2.-By a SEN
troll of the political auxiliary organiza
ton known as the Cook County De-
mocracy was obtained by the adher-
ents of Mayor Carter H. Harrison.
The victory was achieved by Legal
ruse.
With a demand for Incorporation as
the Cook County Democracy. Jno. Pow

peaied today before Secretary of State
Rose and showed that the charter held
by the opponents of the mayor had
become invalid for noncompliance
with the law requiring corporations to
make an annual report to the secre-
tary of state.
A license was thereupon issued to
Powers. who thus regained control
from which he had recently been GUST
ed by court decision upholding the anti
Harrison faction.
The decision had enjoined officers of
the Harrison faction from appearing
at the meetings with the Cook County
Democracy.
Subsequently the Harrison faction
discovered that the organization from
which they had been shut out had
failed to make annual reports to the
secretary of state under 'Ie law of
1901, and that midnight last night was
the latest time that such a report
could be made.
Accordingly number of Harrison IS

 A toboggan party composed of Miss Adelaide Randolph, Arthur Iselin, J. l. Blair, MT. and Mrs. R. L. Beeckman and MT. and Mrs. Harry F.

 The toboggans were quickly fastened behind the sleigh, and the horses start ed at merry pace across the Hemp stead plains toward the slide. Seeing snowdrtft ahead, Mr. Whitney di- rected the coachman to drive through it, and the low toboggans, with the passengers, sunk in so deep that the towropes broke. leaving the "hitchers" stranded.

CATTLE TO MARKET ON SLED
Dakota Farmer Saves Loss of Flesh
 by Simple Means.

Dakota Farmer Saves Loss of Flesh
 by Simple Means.
 J. $. Garothun, successful farmer and stock raiser living in Moody coun- ty, north of Sioux Falls, S. D., has in- vented an ingenious device for market ing his cattle, says the Chicago Rec ord d-Herald.
 He has constructed a strong pen about 12 by 24 feet in size and feet high. This he fastened on sled run ners at each end. There is a gate through which the animals may be driven upon the platform. Horses are hitched to this moving fence, or corral, and his cattle are marketed in this manner.
 The advantage is that they can be transferred from his feeding pens to the market point with less fatigue than If they were driven overland, thus keeping them in better condition and making them easier to handle.

HEAVY BREAKFASTS NOW.

The New Caprice Adopted by Society
 Faddists.
 From the mo breakfast fad to the heavy breakfast of the Elizabethan era is only a step, for it is the meeting of two extremes, says the New York Press. Of course the term mo break fast'' is a misnomer, because the first meal eaten in the day, whether at in the morning, at noon or at 5 in the aft ernoon, is the breaking of the fast, which has continued since the eating of the previous meal. However, the ad- vocates of that form of dieting which, prescribes abstinence from food for five hours after arising from bed could find no better term than mo. break fast,'' and its meaning is understood generally.
 Now comes the antithesis, which many faddists in New York have adopted or are about to adopt. They are going back to the custom of eating heavily early in the day, say between and 10 o'clock in the morning, just as the buxom danes and girthy gentry did in the days of Queen Elizabeth. In- stead of bird bite of crisp toast and a bowl of tea the indorsers of the new cult are to load up their stomachs with chops, steaks and toasted cheese, and. to be thoroughly English and up to date, they will wash down the combt. nation with .copious drafts of ale or brown stout the stout being the prefer red beverage, because all the ladies in waiting on the virgin queen selected that form of malt to drink early in the morning and were able to consume in- ordinate quantities of it. There is doubt as to the success of the plan, for appe- tites cloyed with heavy midnight din-; ners cannot be stimulated into activity the next morning with such heavy in- ducements. Still, something new is in constant demand, and 1t might as well be a blacksmith's breakfast as any, thing else Specialists in gout and dys- pepsia welcome the innovation with chortles of glee.

It is the laboratory worker who is coming to the front now as the creator of new fruits, says writer in the Worlds Work When the cold winds from the north destroyed the citrus industry of Florida, work was under taken at once by the national govern ment to secure an orange which should be more hardy than any now of the east As far north as Philadelphia is a small, hardy Japanese orange which is only suitable for ornamental pur poses and which bears fruit the size of walnut Here was the hardness. By using this plant as the mother and the tender sweet orange of Florida as the father, and vice versa, hybrids have been produced which partake of the characteristics of both. These hybrids are now beginning to fruit for the first time. They are, of course, not so hardy as the hardy mother, but are much more hardy than the sweet orange, the other parent. The fruit secured has some of the characteristics of lemon, but is valuable for marmalades and other purposes, and unquestionabiy can be grown in every back yard in the south

Asking questions is fine art, but some people who teach school will not take pains to master it. Then when they have framed a question inprop- erIy and get suitable answer, though not the one they are searching for, they blame the innocent pupils.
