of the best known of the many employees
of the United States armory in this city,
died at the Mercy hospital about 4:3O
Thursday afternoon. Hare came here
from Washington with Colonel Benton,
as his orderly. He had been through
many interesting and varied experiences
before that time though he was still a
young man. He had entered the civil
war as bugler, and in the years of
strife that followed he was again in
the battlefield. Over forty battles are
said to have been his record, and he was
not sufficiently injured in any to secure
a pension from the government 1t was
when in the service of Colonel Benton at
the Washington arsenal, after the close
of the war that Mr.. Hare was called
upon by his superior officers to take
part in the burial of Wilkes Booth A
man was wanted who could keep his
mouth shut, who could be trusted to do
the job. Secretary Stanton was told
that Hare was the man well suited for
the emergency.-Springield Republican

WHITE LEGHORN CATTLE.

A young married lady of this city,
whose life has been largely spent in
Chicago, but whose lot is now cast in
this city, has since her recent arrival
been seeking to render herself proficient
in the side of life that relates to the
rural districts. Her husband has been
giving her lessons on the kinds of fowls,
cattle, pigs, etc., and she has made ex-
cellent progress and proved an apt pu-
pill, as would be expected, being a col
lege graduate. The other day, in riding
through the country, wishing that her
husband should notice and appreciate
her progress, she called attention to "a
cow that had white face and white
legs, and asked whether the animal did
not belong to the "white faced leghorn''
variety. Her husband came near faint
ing on the spot, but will continue his
course of lessons.

FOSTERS WEATHER.
Warm and Cold Waves Will Alternate
DurInu June.

Washington, D. c., May 24.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross the continent May ~ to 81,
warm wave May 26 to 80, cool wave
May 20 to June 2. The next disturbance
will reach the Pacific coast about June l,
cross west of the Rockies by close of
June 2, great central valleys June 3 to
5, eastern states June 6. A warm wave
will cross west of the Rockies about
June /, great central valleys June 3,
eastern states June 5. A cool wave will
cross west of the Rockies about June 4,
great central valleys June 6, eastern
states June s.
This disturbance will come in a very
cold period that will be bad for corn
that was planted during the last week in
May. The warm wave of the first week
in June will not go up much and will be
followed by another cold period making
altogether serious time for crops.
With the coming of June will also
come long period of dangerous storms,
reaching their climax in September. The
storm disturbance above described will
be of greater intensity than usual not
far from June or 6, about or not long
after the storm center has crossed the
Mississippi river moving eastward.
The very cool weather preceding and
following the storm center of this disturb
ance will probably cause frosts in parts
of the upper Missouri, upper Mississip-
ri and Red river of the North val
leys not far from June l and I, followed
after June Z by great rise in tempera-
ture on all parts of the continent result
ing in great and extensive hot wave.
June will be month of great ex-
tremes in temperatures and other wea-
Their features more detailed account of
which will appear in the next bulletin.

Here is chance to do it, and every man
woman and child in Mankato who knows
the misery of bad back, the nervous

disorders, will show uncommon wisdom
to profit by this citizens advice:
A. T. Noble, of ll9 Clark street, says

ney Pills did me good and further that
they did more to relieve the lameness in
my back and trouble with the kidney Sc
cretions than any other remedies the
year I was afflicted and was very bad
at times. A short time before obtaining
Doan's Kidney Pills from John G. Thro,
could not walk down town hardly to
save my life my back panied so intense

could get about and do necessary work
about the house. The secretions were

MANY CENTENARIANS.
Marked Increase in Their Number in
Recent Years.

NcCCuI 4Coio.
England has had ten celebrated CEN
tenarians, whose joint ages reached the
total of 1901 years. Arranged in order
of seniority their names are as follows:
Henry jenkins, 1859; Catherine Countess
of Desmond, 1852; Thomas Parr, l52;
Peter Garden, l3l; Jane Scrimshaw, 1926;
John Phillips, III; Isabel Walker, ll2;
Thomas Laughter, Ill; Patrick Gibson,
Ill; and John TAFT, ITO.
Frugality of diet, placidity of temper,
freedom from mental worry and excite
ment and the constant practice of all
sorts of outdoor exercise are prescribed
with one accord by the more recent
longevity specialists as conditions pre-
cedent to the attainment of long life.
Yet no more marked increase in the an
nails of longevity has ever been noted
than that which marks the decade be-
tween 1893 and 1908, although it forms
part of an era of telegraphs, telephones,
motor cars and life under high pres
sure generally, while many of the most
remarkable cases of prolonged existence
occur in crowded cities and where one
would least expect them. The records
for 1908 were remarkable, but the month
of January, 1904, is exceptionally impor-
tant, both as regards the number of
patriarchs who have died since the year
began and the frequent mention of still
living centenarians. The following per-
sons passed away between Jan. l., and
Jan. 81, at the age of 100 and upward
