YoAKUM WILL STAY.
Has No Intention of Leaving Rail
road Work, Nor the Frisco.

The recent election of President L F.
Loree of the Rock Island company as
chairman of the executive committee of
the Frisco board has given rise to ru
mors that President Yoakum of the
Frisco would shortly retire. AT San
Antonio Yesterday Mr.. Yoakum said in
regard to the matter. 81 have no inten-
ton of retiring from railroad work, and
am pretty well satisfied where I am.
There is absolutely no ground at all for
a rumor of that kind, nor is there the
least bit of truth in it.

Germ Diseases.

The diseases in this list are known to
be due to germs or their toxins. Every
modern physician knows that medicine
does not apply to them, for medicine
can not kill inside germs.
All that medicine can do for these
diseases is to act as a tonic, aiding
Nature to overcome the germs. Such
results are indirect and uncertain. They
depend on the patients condition. A
cure by drugs is always doubtful and
often impossible.
Liquozone goes direct to the cause of
the trouble and destroys it. 1t often
ends in a week a disease which has re-
sisted medicine for years. And it cures
diseases which medicine never cures. In
any stage of any disease in this list
the results are so certain that we will
gladly send to any patient who asks 1t
an absolute guaranty.

Not Medicine.

Liquozone is the result of a process
which, for more than 20 years, has been
the constant subject of scientific and
chemical research. The process con-
sists in generating gases, made in large
part from the best oxygen producers.
These gases are confined under pres
sure and by a secret process-by the
employment of immense apparatus and
IA days time-are made part of the
liquid product.
Iiquozone is not made, like medicine,
by compromising acids or drugs, nor
is there any alcohol in it. Its virtues
are derived solely from the gas, in the
making of which we employ the best
oxygen producers. The result is a Won
derful product which is better than
anything else in the world for you.

ELECTRICITY SOURCE OF LIFE.
While Not Life Itself 1t Plays Inn
pOrtant Part in the Production
OF Phenomena.

There is good reason for believing
that the chemical as well as the phys
ical changes of protoplasm are pro-
duced by alterations in electrical con-
ditions, and that the remarkable chem
ical powers OF protoplasm shown in its
syntheses and decompositions are IN
reality electrical, and resemble those
produced in electrolysis by the action.
of the current, states the World To-
Day. When, for example, an electric
charge is removed from an organic
compound it decompOses and new COM
pounds arise. We can therefore say
that those substances will poison the
protoplasm which give up or part with
their charges easily. Substances which
give up their charges with especial ease
are mercury and silver, which are &C
cordingly very poisonous. We are even
able, from electrical data recently OBJ
tanned, to calculate approximately for
any salt how much will be necessary to
kill given protoplasm in given time.
1t may fairly be said, then, that the
forces of protoplasm are electrical in
large part at least, and that they give
rise under these special conditions to
the phenomena which constitute life.
This is of course quite different from
saying that electricity is life. Life is a
name we give to group of phenomena;
while electricity plays part in pro-
ducing these it is not itself the phe-
nOmena

PROVED HIS STATEMENT.
Soldier Convinced His Superior OF.
ficer That He Knew What He
Was Talking About.

1t is related of the Russian Field
Marshal Paskieyitch that in the course
Of the siege of VarsoYie. being some
what disconnected by hot fire from
a certain battery, he ordered it to be
shelled, but to no purpose. says the
New York Tribune. His troops did not
seem able to locate the enemy, and
their shot had no effect. Finally the
field marshal himself galloped forward
and sternly demanded:
what imbecile is in command
here?"
81 am" answered an officer who ap-
preached.
"Well, captain, shall degrade you,
since you do not know your business.
Your shells have no effect"
''True, sir, but it is not my fault.
The shells do not ignite
Tell that to others. Don't come
trying to fool me with such chaff. You
will receive your punishment this even
ing"
The captain coolly took shell from
pile near by, lit the fuse, and hold
ing it in the palms of his hands, pre-
scented it to the marshal, saying, See
for yourself, sir"
The marshal, folding his arms across
his breast, stood looking at the smoll-
| ing shell. 1t was a solemn moment.
Both men stood motionless, awaiting
| the result. Finally the fuse burned out
and the captain threw the shell to the
| ground.
ITS true" remarked the marshal
| turning away to consider other meas
ures to silence the enemy's fire.
| In the evening, instead of punish
ment, the captain received the cross
| Of the order of Saint Vladimir.

PAY OF PROFESSORS.
Colleges Pay PrOpOrtfOnately Less
Now Than They Did Fifty
Years Ago.

Whether it is, or is not, in accord with
the eternal fitness of things that college
professors should be kept poor, the fact
is that they are so, says the Syracuse
Post-Standard. One who had studied
the subject with some care was heard
to assert not long since that he failed to
see how a college teacher could marry
without skimping his laundry bills.
Hugo Munsterberg, of Harvard, dreams
of a day when American professors
shall be paid as German professors are,
$4,000 year or thereabOuts. To most
people this seems not merely a dream,
but something very close to what is
vulgarly termed "pipedream," i. e., a
hallucination induced by some power
full narcotic.
The Harvard Graduates Magazine
goes so far as to declare that the college
professors of the present day are more
poorly paid than the college professors
of half century ago when the president
of Harvard got $500 year, and James
Russell Lowell $1,000 for teaching
bellies lettres and bringing up the Cam
bridge youths in the paths of French
and Spanish languages and literature.
The best Harvard professors of to-day
receive $4,000 year at the elimination
of their career, but in purchasing power
this is not the equivalent of the $4,000
which the best men were paid in 1856

race, New York, representatives of the
Carter Company. They stated that the
latter had spent $3,OO0,000 in advertising
and getting their label known, and did not
purpose to permit others to reap the bene-
fits.
The label in question is small one con,
tanning large letter l., and the one used
by Griffith is an exact copy, except that II
does not contain Carriers name.
The prosecution showed how easily the
imitation product could be palmed off on

owing to the similarity Of the labels, and
held that it was evidence of deliberate

FOR A WEAK STOMACH.
A Flannel Prescription Which Is Sure
to Bring Speedy
Relief.

All who suffer from poor digestion
should wear a ten-inch width Of tlan-
mel bandage next the skin, pinned fairly
tight round the body over the stomach.
No liver or digestive pill or pepsin prep
aration helps the stomach twentieth
part as much as this flannel prescription,
says the Boston Budget. A poor circula-
tion in the stomach, causing that chilly,
miserable" feeling, is at the root OF
half the indigestion that mortals are
heir to. That is why hot-water drinking
gives relief. 1t helps the circulation. A
flannel bandage worn day and night all
the year round cures the faulty blood
circulation of the stomach; consequent
ly it cures dyspepsia. Five hours inter
val between meals, avoiding fried foods,
made dishes and mixtures and observing
three or four 'Lenten meals" IN every
week are golden rules for good diges-
ton. A good dinner at night is neces-
sary for those whose pleasure or work
keeps them up very late, but for crdi-
nary folk who dine at seven and go to
bed about 1890 only a light, whole
some repast should be taken at the enc
of the day, when the muscles and nerves
are more Or less exhausted. A tired
stomach is a weak stomach" is golden
rule to remember, yet how often one
hears people say:
1--WE been rushing about all Gay and
am tired to death. l must have Dig
meal to make up for it," You may put
the big meal into the stomach, but you
cannot make the stomach digest 1t.

Gratitude Well Expressed.

Sault St., Marie, Mich, Feb. sth.---Mr.

home is at 300 Anne street, this city,
makes the following statement:
81 was laid up with some kind of pains.
Some said it was Iumbago, others Sciatica,
and others again Rheumatism. A few of
my friends suggested that it was lead
poison, but whatever it was it gave me a
great deal of pain, in fact, almost COM
pletely crippled me. l had to use two
canes to walk about and even then 1t was
very painful task.
"a friend advised me to try Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and began the treatment: After
1 had used the first box | was able to
throw away one of the canes and was con-
siderably improved. The second box
Strengthened me up so that l could go
about free from pain without any assist
ance and very soon after [ was complete
ly cured, we'll and happy, without pain
or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed
to go right to the spot in my case and
they will always have my greatest praise.

JAMES RANDOLPH CURTIS is a
u promising young man. He works
for Smith 6; Eldridge, dealers in mines
OF various assortments, oil wells and
stone quarries. Mr.. Smith is manager
of the firm. He likes James Randolph,
and says that If he didn't have such
an unmentionabie kind of fool for
wife he would amount to something
some day. Mrs. Curtis does not know
that Mr.. Smith says that about her.
Neither does James Randolph know it,
but he suspects it. He thinks SO be-
cause, since he came back from his re-
cent trip through Pennsylvania, he
mad occasion to say something like
that himself
James Randolph toured the keystone
state at Mr. Smiths suggestion. There
were pending transactions of impor-
lance to be closed, and in his opinion
James Randolph was better qualified
TO close them than any other man in
the Office, except Mr.. Eldridge, who,
being fiat on his back with rheuma-
4ism, was obviously unable to travel.
Il want you to exercise particular
tact and discretion in dealing with
those people in Scranton" said Mr..
Smith when explaining to James Ran
dolph his itinerary. THE fellow in
that bunch who really counts is Horace
Perkins. Perhaps you have heard OF
Perkins,
Heard of him?" echoed James Ran
dolph. well, | should say l have.
He married my wife's cousin Kate"
Mr.. Smith said "Ah, indeed?" in a
tone which might have reasonably
been construed as rejecting disparag-
ingly on Mr.. Perkins matrimonial
judgment; then, apparently not wish
ing to become embroiled in a discus
sion of family virtues, he resumed his
instructions on business tactics.
Perkins" he said, is the man you
want to tie TO. Keep at him inces-
sanity. If you can talk him over yo,l
will put $250,950 in the pockets OF
Smith & Eiaridge, and incidentally a
small sum in the pockets OF James
Randolph Curtis
That proposition gave James Ran
dolph glimpse OF Heaven. In reality
he went home that night hanging to q
strap in an elevated car but SO buoy
ant was he that he felt as if he were
being transported bodily through bill
lows of scented, roseate air. judging
by his emotions he was still envelopeC
in chunks of that radiant atmosphere
when he drifted into his uptown
apartment, but he probably overesti
mated its beatifc qualities. AT any
rate his wife escaped its influence. In
stead of rejoicing at his fine prospects
as James Randolph had expected he
to do, she cried. James Randolph
face assumed a preternatural length.

To Fool His Cows,

of town, came in one day in search of
green eyeglasses for his cattle. OF
course our men who deal in glasses were
forced to give it up as hard PROPOSE
ton. When asked why he wanted his
cattle to wear them, Leidgen replied:
when in the pasture the green glasses
will make the grass look green and the
cattle will think it is spring and the pas
ture green" 1t is true that it has not
rained in that part of Oklahoma for
some time and the grass is very dry. We

AND he GOT IT.
But 1t Proved to BE Something He
Didn't Care 10 Hold
Very Long.

An indulgent mother of the Tuxedo col
ony was travelling on a local train one day
in company with her three-year-old son,
his nursemaid, and a copy of society
magazine which absorbed her attention,
relates the New York Times. The SON
was occupying the seat behind her with
his attendant, VINO attempted every once
in awhile to curb his restless and rebel
hous spirit by gentle DENIAL OF his lat
est whim, but each time the mother, no
ticing only that some argument was in
progress, and without locking up from
her book, would remark: Let him have
it."
The nursemaid thereupon would yield
to this double demand.
Finally strong and rather venomous
looking wasp flew against the window
pane, and the youthful hunter reached out
to grasp it, and walled dejectedly when
he was once more restrained by the watcn-
full caretakef. Again the fond mother,
without raising her eyes, exclaimed:
"Oh, do let him have it,"
And the howl which followed the
nurses compliance caused an amused
smile to pass around the car.
