The district of Giddirgs, Garfield and
Ezra Taylor, proud of its memorable
past, has approved Gen. Dicks congress
sional service by repeating reelection.
and unanimously urged upon all Ohio re-
publicans that the closest political as
sociate of Mckinley and Hanna was the
most fitting successor for the latter in
the United States senate. In 1900 he
served where Mckinley wanted him,
and last year, to help Hanna, he COM
piled with the latters request not to
contest with Herrick for the guber-
material nomination, and then con-
Quoted for Hanna and Herrick the most
successful campaign Ohio ever had.
Such services and sacrifices for the re-
publican party have made him friends
in every county.
Not only has he been closest to Nc
Kinley and Hanna in all party politics,
but his public service has steadily
strengthened Gen. Dicks capacity for
congressional duties. Few members of
the house of his years have greater in
fluence there. Elected major general
OF Ohio national guard upon its reor-
ganization, after the Spanish war, and
also by his comrades, president Of the
National Association Of national guard
officers. he succeeded in securing from
congress the first complete militia law.

OH1o'S NEW SENATOR.
CHARLES DICK WILL SUCCEED
THE LATE MARK A. HANNA.
Has Had an Active Career in Ohio
Politics and Was a Close
Political Associate of
Mckinley.

Charles Dick, of Akron. O., is only one
week younger than President Roosevelt.
He was born at Akron and received what
education he has in the public schools,
where he studied until he was IA years
OF age. He then commenced to work his
own way in the world, clerking in q
store two years and in bank six years;
his next position was in a factory,
where he was employed for two years
keeping books. At "a years of age he
went into the grain and commission
business with Lucius G. Myles; at %
years of age he was appointed auditor
OF Summit county, serving two terms.
During these years he studied law, and
was admitted to the bar by the Ohio
supreme court.
Always active in politics, he was in
1884 chosen chairman of the republican
county committee, and, as such, was in
very close touch with the late President
Mckinley when the latter won his cam
paign for congress in Summit county.
This led to Mckinley calling upon Dick
to help him in his campaign for nomi-
nation and election for the governor
ship and later for the presidency.
He has been campaign chairman for
the Ohio republicans from 1892 to 1903.
In 1896 and 1900 he was secretary of the
republican national committee, and in
1902 and 1896 he was delegate from the
Nineteenth district to the republican ma
tional convention. In 1900 he was dele
gate at large and in charge of the west
ern headquarters at Chicago.
When the Spanish war began Gen.
Dick, then lieutenant colonel Of the
Right Ohio national guard infantry, at
once enlisted with his regiment, serving
In Cuba until the fever mortality around
santiago grew so great that Gen. Shat
ter ordered Col. Dick to Washington to
report personally to President Nc
Kinley on the urgent need for change.
1t was Col. Roosevelt who urged Col
Dick to this duty. While he was still
in service the Nineteenth congressional
district republicans nominated and
elected Col. Dick to congress to succeed
Representative Northway, who died.

Two classes of dredgers are used. The
more popular form consists of an end
less chain of buckets. These lift the
gravel on an inclined plane to the head
of the sluices and concentrating tables
attached to the dredger. The machine
cry which operates the bucket belt also
pumps the water used in the concentra-
tor in separating the precious contents
from the dross.
The principle in extracting the gold
flakes and minute nuggets is identical
with that adopted by the old placer min
err in the days of 40. when: he washed
the gold in his cradle in some of the
very localities where the dredgers are
now operating. ,a
The other type of dredger is the scoop
dredger. Attempts have been made to
work" these river beds with suction
dredgers, but these have not been sue
cessful, as the high specific gravity OF
the geld enables it to escape from the
suction when the cutter breaks down the
pay dirt.

Deepest Known Gold Nine.

What is believed to be the deepest
gold mine in the world is being worked
at Bendigo. Australia. The mine in
question, which is called the New Chum
Railway mine. has sunk its main shaft
to depth Of $500 feet, or only go feet
short of three-Quarters of a mile The
chief problem is how to keep the tunnels
and general workings cool enough for
the. mjnSfs to work in at such depth.
It is usually about 10S degrees, and, to
enable the men to work at all, a spray

A beauty parlor for horses has been eS-
tablished in Philadelphia. Here horses
have their coats electrically massaged,
their hoofs maEicured and their teeth
filed and whitened; and here they learn
to stand properly and to move in all the
fashionable gaits.
Beauty and correct, graceful car
riage are qualities as essential to horses
as to women-they are qualities that in

good home-and therefore this equine

novel operation to witness at the equine
beauty parlor is the electrical massag-
ing of horses coat. The electrical
massage has the same effect on the coat
of horse as on. the scalp Of man; 1t
makes the hair thick and fine and glossy
and, where the skin has been rubbed
bare, it brings on new growth.

High stepping)
again. 1t is simple matter. but it re-
quires good deal of patience.
Among gaits. the most difficult to
teach is high stepping. This is done
sometimes with the whip and some
times with the spectacle hood. The
spectacle hood is employed in the case
of stupid horses. 1t consists of q hood
with lenses covering the eyes. These
lenses make the ground seem very near to
the horse-make it seem almost up to his
knees-and in order 10 advance he raises
his feet very high. for at each stride it
seems to him as though he we're going
over step. Wearing this hood for a
few months, he acquires the habit of
throwing his forelegs up and out, and
after the hood is taken of him he still
sticks to the housekeeping gait.
But the favorite way to teach high
stepping is with the whip. The horse
acquires, one at time, three move
nents or positions. First is the posi-
ton Of the leg up and stiff; second. the
iegsout, up and bent at the knee; third.
the leg up and bent at the fetlock. These
three movements, which we teach with
gentle taps Of the whip. compose high
stepping. and after horse has learned
them he is a high-stepper."

The "simple anaemia of develop.

of course, that tired, languid condition
of young girls, whose development to
womanhood is tardy and whose health,
at that period, is so often imperiled.
His opinion of the value of DR.. Will

that time is of the highest scientific au-
thority, and it confirms the many pub
lished cases in which anaemia and
other diseases of the blood as well as
nervous diseases such as nervous pros
tration, neuralgia, st. Vitus' dance,
paralysis and locomotor ataxia have
been cured by these pills. They are
commended to the public for their eff
cheney in making new blood and
strengthening weak nerves. After such
an endorsement they will be accepted
by the medical and scientific world at
their full value.
