THE MUSICAL PRODIGY.

The concert given at the Central church last
night by the Blind Boone Concert Company
was a pronounced success, both in character
of performance and the large attendance. The
classical music of List, Schubert and Colts
chalk was played with as much ease as the
popular airs of the day. When his own com
position, 1.-The Tornado of Marshfield,' Mol
was rendered, the audience bowed their heads
in reverential wonder as the church hymn
rang out from the crashing, roaring, thunder
ing tornado. The winds whistled, the thun-
ders beloved, the tornado roared and the ele-
ments assisted by an occasional CLEAN of the
genuine article.-St. Louis Post-Dspatch.
Blind Boone and his Company
will be in Medicine Lodge, Thurs
day evening, June goth. If you
never heard him before, this is your
chance. If you have heard him,
every week somebody is disap-
pointed by getting in too late,
hence this explanation is made.
The Anthony Republican is
knocking because the Denver,
Enid & Gulf railroad is figuring on
building through the Medicine
river valley in Barber county. 1t
says that the route is an impracti
cal and an expensive one, hard to
maintain, etc. Therein the pub
Usher of the Republican differs
widely from Ed L. Peckham, vice
president of the company, who has
devoted great many years to
railroad building and who is re-
garded in railway circles as au-
thority on the subject. Anthony
people usually use good sense in
trying to persuade railroad men TO
see them, and the "knock" on the
part of the Republican comes as a
surprise. Medicine Lodge may
not get this road, and if it doesn' t..
the town won't feel sore at the
town that does.

got into a little misunderstanding
on the streets Saturday and came
to blows. Sheriff Haun interfered
and took them before Judge Collins
where they pleaded guilty to dis
turbing the peace and were fined
81 each and costs amounting in
all to 1915 each. The trouble
grew out of misunderstanding
about a calf. Those who heard it
say that Basey was entirely at
fault.

How "AIabama" Was Saved.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that the Alabama. in spite of the omis-
sion of the English customs authorities
to seize her might in the end have been
d tained but for an act of wifely de.
yotion. On the 22nj and oath of July,
1882. evidence directly incuIpating tt 9
vessel was communicated by the Amer
lean legation in London to the British
foreign office. on the z2nd and Goth
OF July the papers were referred to the
law officers of the crown, and as the
law officers had no permanent office.
were sent as usual to the senior officer,
who was then Sir John DorneY Hard
ing, queens advocate. his associates
being Sir William Atherton, attorney
general, and Sir Roundell Palmer, af-
terward Lord Selborne, solicitor-gen-
eral. Unfortunately Sir John Harding
had jast then fell victim to an acute
mental disorder, which proved to be
fatal, but which his wife, in the hope
that 1t would soon pass away, had kept
a secret. Upon the decision to be rem
dered by the law officers there hung
perchance the issues of peace and war
and the fate of nations; but the papers
lay unexamined at Sir Johns residence,
apparently, till the 2Sth of July. when
the foreign Office, growing anxious at
the delay, bat ignorant of it's cause.
took steps to recover them and placed
them in the hands of Sir William Ath-
erton. On the evening of the same
day, Sir William, perceiving the grav-
lty of the situation which the papers
called Sir Roundell Palmer
into consultation upon them in the earl
room in the house of lords.
They at once agreed that the vessel
must be seized. An opinion to the eff
feet was delivered to Earl Russell on
the morning of the 10Th of July; but
during the night of the 2Sth the Ala
bama left the docks in which she had
been lying. At 10 O'Clock on the morn
ing of the Goth she put to sea. The or

GOOD ADVICE TO STUDENTS
Kansas Man Tells Young Men How
to Make Success of Life in
the Country.

J. W. Robinson, of Towanda, Kan,
who had an exhibit of horses at the
Kansas City show last fall, in an ad-
dress to agricultural students, said:
"Boys, suppose many of you ex-
pect to be farmers. Let me give you
some advice from my own experience.
When you start farming, no matter
if you are renter, get two fine mares,
two fine cows, two fine sows and two
of the best hens you can buy. They
will cost a good deal more than
scrubs, but the difference in few
years will be immense. Sell their
male progeny and keep the female.
The male progeny will bring you as
much as the whole product of cheaper
stock, and in a few years the female
portion will produce enough to buy
you a farm, and then another farm.
That old black mare you have been
scoring was supposed to be one of the
best mares in France in her time.
She was imported Is years ago. She
made the first man who owned her
$4,000. We bought her seven years
ago, and she has made us $4,000, and
she has done the full work of horse
in the field all these years. Don't
start your farming with scrubs. If
you can't buy as good mare as this
one, buy the best YOU can. Do your
farming with draft mares, and if you
manage right, the colts will be profit,
and big profit at that. We have three
old mares on the place that have
earned us $1,000 each. The old Rosa
Bonheur mare bought in hard times
for 5000. She has made us five times
that much money every year"

SaIada Tea.

Tea is better the day it is taken from
the gardens where it grows, as every
day of age added to it takes some little
particle from it's flavor, as the flavor of
the Tea consists in an essential oil that
rapidly escapes. That is the reason
why the 'Salada" Tea Company pack
ed their tea in sealed lead packets, ,and
is one of the principal reasons why
their ''Salada" CeylOn and India tea is
rapidly taking the place of all other
teas. Nearly all prominent grocers
carry them in stock. They are sold in
Zoe and half pound lead packets. As
a nice drink in hot weather the Medi-
ical Faculty recommend them above
all other drinks.

What Royalty Costs.

1t is not generally realized what an
expensive thing it is for an important
nation to support it's royal family.
England, for example, pays out almost
So, 0O0, 900 year for the maintenance
of it's king, queen, princes, prlncesses
and other royal dignitaries. The king
and queen alone receive $2,350,00 an.
nually; the prince of Wales receives
$100, 900, and the princess of Wales
$50, 900 (what the United States pays
its president). The Princess Chris
tain, Louise and Beatrice and the
duchess of Albany receive $4,000; the
duchess of Meckledburg-S -Strelitz re-
ceiyes SIS. 200; the duke of Connaught
$120 900, and the duke of Cambridge
$50, 900. Out of the income allotted te
the king and queen must be paid the
cost of the royal household; this in
cludes the salaries and incidental ex
penses of almost 1000 officers and
functionaries. The king and the prince
of Wales receive, in addition to theil
incomes, large revenues from several
sources. Weekly.

The Popping of Popcorn.

Why popcorn pops and ordinary
corn does not is question which has
bothered many people for long time.
The department of agriculture has
given an answer which should make
1t plain. (1) The popping of popcorn
Is due to volatilization Of the oil con-
tanned in the kernel. (2) Field corn
does not pop as readily as popcorn
pops because the outer portion of the
kernel is more porous, permitting the
escape of the oil as 1t volatilizes, while
In the case of popcorn great pres
sure is developed in the kernel by the
confined oil and the kernel is sud-
denly exploded and turned wrong side
out (3) In composition popcorn DIFF
fers from ordinary corn in having a
larger proportion of corneous element
and a great per cent of oil. (4) Pop
corn pops more readily when dry be-
cause when moistened the kernels are
swollen, more porous and toughened
and do not explode SO suddenly and
completely as when dry and hard.

VEST POCKET DINNERS.
Why ths Capsule Meals VIII Hardly
Achieve Popularity.

It is said that German student o
food concentration has succeeded sc
well with his experiments that a single
small capsule now suffices him for a
| full meal and the ten seconds is the
average time he spends at either his
breakfast, luncheon or dinner. The
prediction is freely made that within
few years we shall all be subsisting
upon capsules, there will be no more
cooking In our households and the ser.
want problem will be solved most beau
tlfully. OF course under these condl-
tions there would be no more public
dinners or banquets of State, our cat
erers would be thrown out of employ
ment. and the great hotels would become
simply dormitOries. We would buy
our meals at the drug stores and carry
them in our pockets. The sign "Qulck
Lunch" would disappear from our
streets, for we could all be walking
restaurants.
Whatever the possibility of such a
condition from the scientific stand
point, there is not the slightest danger
of its realization within the lifetime
of the present generation. Most of us,
to be frank, are too fond of eating and
drinking to be content with capsule
repasts, however, convenient as time
savers. The element of sociability,
too, must be taken into consideration.
The gathering of family about the
table three times day adds immeas
urably to human enjoyment. 1t is
the place of all places where good cheer
should prevail. There are sufficient
influences at work for the destruction
of home life in these busy days without
adding one more. We fear the food
capsule will be long time achieving
the popularity at present enjoying by
beefsteak and potatoes. -HOusekeeper.

vACCINATING FARM LANDS
Science Claims to Have Discovered ,
Way for Making Barren
Soil Fertile.

Have you had your farm vaccinated?
If not, you should proceed to have 1t
done at once.
Science has done great deal for the
farmer. 1t has killed the bugs and
worms that prey on his crops: it has
treated his animals when sick and saved
their lives; it has experimental with
seeds and raised the quality and guam
tity OF their yield; it has done a great
many things to help him achieve sue
cess. The latest service of special in
terest of which we have heard is noted
in the National Geographic Magazine,
where it is shown that the process of
inoculating sterile ground and making
1t bring forth the fruit in abundance is
an easy task incubation to prevent
smallpox, diphtheria, rabies, etc., we
know about, but it is quite as mysteri-
GUS as the incubation of old worn-out
soils to make them fertile
Certain germs make for fertility of
the soil. They are collected or generat-
ed by the department of agriculture, ac-
cording to this veracious authority, and
sent by mail in small package about
like yeast cake The cake is said to
contain millions of dried germs. It is
thrown into barrel of pure water and
turns it milky white. Seeds of grain
and grasses are washed with this water
and when planted are said to produce
wonderful results even on what is re-
garded as exhausted soil. The land is
really treated to an incubation and
cured of its disease of barrenness. Have
your farm vaccinated and get rich from
the big crops you will raise.
