Killed By Bomb.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 1o.-Walter
Cox and Pasquete Feritto were killed
here this morning as the result of a
bomb that was exploded during the
celebrating of the Italian feast of ST..
Jicamo.
They were in the crowd that was
participating in the celebration and
it seems that they were not especially
singled out by the bomb-thrower but
simply happened to be in the direc-
tion in which it was thrown.
1t is not known who exploded the
bomb but the Italians believe that it
was exploded in an attempt to kill
the members of the Italian band
which was furnishing music for the
occasion.
This belief of the Italians them
selves is favored by the police, who
have begun a rigid investigation of
the murder.
Many others in the crowd were in
jured but it not thought seriously.

THE RED MEN.
Great Representative J. H. Hair At
tending Great Council of United
States at St. Joseph, Missouri.

Great Representative J. H. Hair
OF Newberry is attending the Great
Sun Session OF the Improved Order
OF Red Men which is now being held
at St. Joseph, Missouri. This annual
council is the largest and most i'm
portant held in the world and all
the important questions Of the Or
der at large are discussed and set
tied at the great council. Mr. Hair
has been honored by appointment on
the committee OF mileage and per
diem.
Among the interesting questions
brought up at this session Of the
council is the question relating to the
standing OF all who deal in liquor
An amendment was adopted, after
long discussion, which provides that
no dealer in liquor, either retail or
wholesale, may be member Of any
Red Mems lodge The following re-
port is taken from the St. Joseph
News and Press:
AT yesterday afternoons session
there was an animated discussion of
a proposed revision OF the laws, by
which saloon-keepers, bartenders and
retail liquor dealers are to be barred
from membership of the Red Men.
The amendment was presented by
Past Great Incahonee Robert T.
Daniel, chairman OF the committee
on revision of laws, and was adopted
by a safe majority vote
"The amendment also provides that
any member who shall engage in the
retail liquor business after having
been admitted to the order shall be
liable to suspension. 1t is not in
cumbent upon the state councils to
accept this new law, but it is recon-
mended to them for adoption:"

Sugar From Rags.
Pearson's Weekly.

I tdlSCHS weekly.
A curiously interesting experiment
may be made by slowly adding con-
centrated sulphuric acid to half its
weight of lint or shredded linen,
which is then pounded into a mortar
and let stand for some hours. After
ward this is rubbed up with water,
warmed and filtered, and the solution
is finally neutralized with chalk and
again filtered
The gummy liquid retains lime,
partly in the state of sulphate, partly
in combination with a peculiar acid,
composed OF the elements of sui
phuric with those OF the lignine. to
which the name sulpholignic acid is
given.
If the liquid before naturalization
is boiled for three or four hours and
the water replaced. the acid evapo-
rates, and the deNtrine is entirel y
changed into grape sugar. Linen
rags by this process may be made to
