The summer famed up into sudden
heat. and scared all the grasses ard

gradually there came the time OF
shorter dayz and cooier nights Obsi-
ously all the earth was preparing fer
the winter time.

Winter on the plains was season of
severity for the early settlers. whose
resources alike in fuel and food were
not too extensive. Frank iin's fore

that it might be good thing for
them To follow the usual custom and
go out on a hunt for the buffalo herd

At night they slept beneath the

broken by the hoarser, roaring note
of the great gray buffalo wolf At

with some keen elixir which gave de

lay a new world. a wild world virgin

Early on the morning of the fourth
day Of their journey the travellers
noted that the plain began TO rise
and sink in longer waves. Presently
they found themselves approaching a
series of rude and wildlooking hills
of sand. For many miles they travel
ed through this difficult and cherries
region. the horses soon showing signs
of distress and all the party feeling
need of water. of which the supply
haa been exhausted. They pushed on
in silence. intent upon what might be
ahead. so that when there came an
exclamation from the half-witted
Mexican. whose stolid silence under
most circumstances had become a
proverb among them. each face was
at once turned toward him.

REMARKABLE eeDQUilT,
Work Of Former Slave viii Be In
Colorado Eshibt

One Of the unique features of the
Colorado exhibit al the st Louis Fair
viii be silk guilt. the work of Mrs.
Florence Bell OF Denver. a former
slave. who, previous 10 her death, in
1885, was in the household OF a Mr.
Bambright in jackson county. Mis-
souri,
The quilt is made of the finest Qual-
ity of silk thread and contains 3ls
spools. Mrs. Bell spent three years in
finishing IT, and the quilt is odd on ac-
count of the interesting history sur
rounding the owner and the manner in
which 1t was made.
Mrs. Bell. although a slave. acquired
. good general education through her
own efforts. She was born in 1858 and
after she became the property of the
Bambrieht family during her girlhood
she never left the place. She began to
make the quilt in 1880
The quilt was submitted to Herman
Lueders. secretary of the board of cap
itol managers, by John l.. Bell the
janitor ON the second floor of the cap
itol. husband of Florence Bell Bell
himself is an ex-slave and before the
abolition of slavery he was owned by
Octavis Wall of Ray county. Missouri.
Bell was born in ls49 and although he
never learned to read and write until
he was twenty-eight years old the let
ter accompanying the quilt is excep-
tionally well written, with few mis-
takes in the spelling Bell states that
when he was purchased fOrty-fOur
years ago. he was chosen among nine
other slaves. and that next July he
will visit his former master for the
first time in thirty-three years.

a proposition or amendment leaving to
the discretion OF the president the right

Senator Lodge supported the position
taken by Senator Spooner.
Senator Bacon took Issue with the
contention of republican senator's h a
the enate could not demand informa-
ton at the hands of the executive de-
partment.
1T matters not whether the reason

ator. THE president should not be per-
mitted to withhold information purely
on his own Judgment or volition, for
II he Is to exercise discretion in one case
he can exercise 1t in all cases."
Senator Bacon admitted that there Is
no remedy in case the president refuses
to give the information requested.
Senator Spooner appealed for such a
modification Of the pending inquiry as
would render IT courteous.
The senate her agreed unanimously
to vote on the resolution before ad-

SWIM CHANNEL.
William ]. Glover, Jr., Champion OF
Maryland, Will Attempt the
Difficult Feat.

Baltimore. Md. Jan. 30.--Unless
something unforeseen. occurs William
j. Glover, jr., the champion long dis
lance swimmer OF Maryland, will
surely attempt to swim the English
channel during the coming summer.
For several weeks Glover has been
making preparations to attempt the
wonderful feat. but the necessary
financial backing was lacking. This
greatest of all Glover's difficulties has
been overcome.
Glover is % years of age and a very
muscular young man. He became
famous as a swimmer by swimming
from Rochester Beach to Riverview
Park on June %, 1901, a distance OF
twenty-three miles. Owing TO the
strong current IL is claimed that Glow
er was carried at least two miles out
of his course. Last summer he at
tempted twice to swim from Poole's
Island at the mouth of the Elk river,
to Baltimore, a distance Of twenty
five miles. The first time he was COM
PEELED to abandon the trip after SWIM
ming about four miles on account OF
the roughness Of the sea. His second
attempt would have been successful
but for a heavy electrical storm. He
had beer in the water for ten hours
and was within about two miles OF
finishing when his trainers compelled
him to abandon the trip for fear all
hands would lose their lives. GloVer
would not give up and had to be
pulled from the water.

DRUGS ARE NO GOOD.
Chicago Physician Says They Accom-
p!ish Little in Treatment of
Pneumonia.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-"Drug treatment ia
useless in cases of pneumonia. The
medical profession, so far as medicines
are concerned, can be of no assistance
in the fight against this disease. The
sooner the profession win acknowledge
this to the public and set to work to
discover some specific to save pneu-
monia patients, the better for all con-
cerned."
This startling statement by DIR. Ar
thur d. Bevan, who stands high in the
profession. has stirred up the mem
bers of the Chicago Medical society.
Several physicians Of the city protest
against this arrangement.
All admit. however, that there is no
definited remedy known, and they base
their protests solely on the contention
that they might influence the patient
favorably by easing him somewhat and
by h moral effect Of their presence.

CIVIL WAR ROMANCE.
Enoch Arden Story Of Virginia, in
Which Divorce and Remar-
riagc Figures.

Virginia, H., Jan. S0.-Colonei AM
drew j. Morgan, a veteran Of the civil
war, aged 40, was married to Nancy
Pickle, Il, yesterday. ON January 10,
1861, Miss Nancy Hutchings was mari
ried to Burdett Pickle. When the civil
war began, Pickle joined the federal
army and went south, accompanied by
his friend, Andrew Morgan. After the
war Morgan returned, but nothing was
heard of Pickle.
The supposed widow, believing Pickle
dead, married Morgan. They lived to-
gether thirty-eight years, and have two
grown children. There was also a son
by the woman's first marriage, William
Pickle, now of Jacksonville, III. Mrs.
Morgan owned valuable land, and not
long ago decided to deed some of it to
her three children. William vas dis
satisfied with the distribution and
claimed the title was not good because
there was no proof OF his fathers
death.
Mrs. Morgan Immediately filed suit
for divorce from Burdett Pickle, al
leging desertion, and the decree was
granted, for it was proved that Pickle,
like Enoch Arden, had returned, learned
Of his wife's remarriage, and gone away
years ago. Then the second ceremony
took place,

CATCHING COLD
Is the Beginning Of Most Winter
Acknowledgements Protects
Against and Cures Colds.

There is no fact of medical science
better established than that a teaspoonful
of Peruna before each meal during the
winter season will absolutely protect a
person from catching cold. Now, If this
is true land there is no doubt of it,,
thousands Of lives would he saved. and
tens of thousands OF cases of chronic
catarrh prevented, by this simple precau-
ton within reach Of every one.
After a cold has been contracted a tea
spoonful of Peruna every hour will short
ly cure it, leaving no trace of it behind.
After chronic catarrh has become cstab-
lished, or the first stages of chronic
bronchitis or consumption have been
reached, it will take much longer to
effect a cure.
1t seems strange that as well known
and we'll established as these facts are
any one should neglect to profit by them
and yet no doubt there are many who

Health Before Wealth.

Nine out Of ten ailments first show
themselves in constipation. Natures
warning, if left unheeded, means serions
chronic trouble later on. Medical sta
tistics show that a greater number Of
people suffer from constipation than from
all other diseases combined. A great
talk is made about consumption, but if
the truth were known. constipation kills
more people than consumption. Within
the last few years Il medicine has been
discovered and made known to the Amer
lea. people, Of such merit in curing con-
stipation and its consequences that now
over ten million boxes OF CASCARETS
are sold every year, the greatest sale ever
attained by any one medicine in the
world. and this is the strongest proof
that ii is the best and will do all and
more than claimed. If you are a sufferer
you are not doing right by yourself or
your family if you fail to give CASCA-
REFS n trial, and right here VIC want
to warn you to get the genuine, because
all great successes breed limitations. The
genuine tablet is put up in metal boxes
and has the word CASCARETS with the
long-tailed 'C' on the cover. Every Cas-.
caret tablet is stamped G. G. G.
The dalia was introduced into Eu-
rope for the value of it's bulb as a sub

sembles when baked.
