The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1905-04-01

Washington dispatches say that Secre-
in the fall and if his health then be not
greatly improved, he will retire from
the cabinet. The Washington correspond
ent for the New York World says. 1T
IS practically certain that Mr.. Hay will
De succeeded by Secretary Taft. who will
be the real head of the State department
while Mr.. Hay is away. The President
doubts that Mr.. Hay will ever be strong
enough to resume his official duties, and
he already has selected Mr.. Taft as his
successor, barring some political con-
urgency which now is unforeseen. Sur
geon-General Rixey, who has been at
tending Mr.. Hay for years, is by no
means confident that the long rest which
he has ordered will result in the COM
plete restoration of his health. He goes
no further thar to say that he hopes
Mr.. Hay will be sufficiently benefited to
take up his work again by the time con-
gress convenes next fall. The attack of
faintness to which Mr.. Hay succumbed
as he was sailing from New York the
other day is accepted as an indication
that he is weaker han had been sup
posed. As soon as he returns from his
two months cruise Mr.. Hay wiz, by DIR.
Rixey's orders, go to his summer home
at Lake ~Sunapee, N. H., where he will
stay until just before Congress convenes.
His condition then will determ ne wheth-
er he is to remain in the cabinet. While
he Is at his summer home Mr.. Hay will
not be bothered with official cares. Dur
ing the three months that Mr.. Taft Is to
be away State Department matters of i'm
p%ortance will be taken up directly with
the President by Acting Secretary LOOMS
and questions of great moment, Il any
arise, will be decided at the cabinet meet
ings."

There are few diseases that infict
more torture thar rheumatism and there
probably is no disease for which a varied
and usless lot of remedies rave been sug-

therefore. a bold statement to make, but
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys
an extensive SAFE, has met with great
success in the treatment of this disease.
One application of Pam Balm will re-
lieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers
have testified to permanent cures by
its use. Why suffer when Pan Balm

DELIVERING MiLA
IN PAPER BOTTLES.

A man has invented a process by
consumer as nearly in the condition In
which it leaves the COW as is possible
The new invention is a bottle made
of paper or pasteboard, manufactured
out of spruce pulp. DR.. A. II. Stewart,
a bacteriologist, has made careful
series Of tests with 1t, and his report is
in its favor. DR.. Stewart sent to NUNS
Der Of milk shops one of the new paper
bottles and one of the old glass ones
and requested the proprietors to I'LL
both with the same milk and return
them to him. On receiving them he
placed them on ice. Frequently the
glass bottles would show signs OF leak
age at the shoppers. but those made OF
paper remained perfectly tight, In
every case fewer organisms were found
in the paper ones than In the glass. the
ratio being about one to four. He found
that certified" milk kept two days
longer in the paper than in the glass.
The effect Of DIR. Stewards report was
that a company was formed to manu-
facture the paper bottles.
Several previous attempts to produce
paper bottle have failed, for different
reasons. One of the causes was the ex-
IRENE difficulty found in molding the
article out Of pulp. Then, again. the
thinness of the bottle when finished
initiated against it. Often it was found
that the flavor of the wood would be
impaired to the milk, and lastly it was
found that the cost of manufacture was
prohibitive.
1t is claimed that these difficulties
have all been overcome in the new tn-
vention. The bottles are stamped out
of heavy three ply paper. and a conical
shape is given to them to facilitate
packing for shipment III nests. The
bottoms have a double thickness, and
their edges are locked In such way
that pressure from above adds to their
strength. 1t is stated that pressure
of 200 pounds may be placed upon the
bottle without crushing It, Glue is used
in fastening the overlapping edges OF
the body. but coating OF parafnn pre-
vents 1t from affecting the taste of tho
milk and renders the bottle waterproof.
Sterilization by exposure to tempera-
ture Of 212 degrees F. is the ANAL
operation to which the receptacle IL
subjected,
Those who favor the new bottle say
that it possesses many minor advan-
tages. The weight Is only two ounces.
The carrying capacity Of milk wagon
will be doubled. for the carrier would
have no empties to collect. The dealer
would have no loss from breakage or
the stealing Of the empties, as is often
the case with glass. It is estimated that
the cost per thousand will be about
81. 1t is believed that the increased
sale on account OF the certainty Of purer
milk would more than counterbaiapce
the extra cost. One important change
anticipated is that the milk will be
bottled at the dairy farm, not at the
city headquarters. as at present Here
tofore the danger Of breaking during
shipment has been formidable Oh.

tie was opened"
"Quite SO. AS matter Of fact. the
screw was not used. This bottle was
opened by pocket screw, probably
contained In knife and not more than
an inch and half long. If you will
examine the top Of the cork, you will
observe that the screw was driven in
three times before the cork was ex-
tracted. 1t has never been transfiXed.
This long screw would have transfixed
1t and drawn it up with single pull.
When you catch this fellow you will
find that he has one of these multiplex
knives In his possession"
"Excellentr' said Hopkins.
"But these glasses do puzzle me, I
confess. Lady Brackenstall actually
saw the three men drinking, did she
not?'
Yes; she was clear about that"
"Then there is an end Of 1t. What
more is to be said? And yet you must
admit that the three glasses are very
remarkable. Hopkins. What? You see
nothing remarkable? Well. well, let it
pass. Perhaps when man has special
knowledge and special powers like my
own 1t rather encourages him to seek
complex explanation when a simpler
ono is at hand. OF course 1t must be a
mere chance about the glasses. Well,
good morning, Hopkins. l don't see
that can be Of any use to you, and
you appear to have your case very clear.
You will let me know when Randall Is
arrested and any further developments
which may occur trust that shall
soon have to congratulate you upon a
successful conclusion. Come, Watson;
l fancy that we may employ ourselves
more prohtably at home"
During our return journey could
see by Holmes face that he was much
puzzled by something which he had
observed. Every now and then by an
effort he would throw of the impress
sion and talk as II the matter were
clear, but then his doubts would settle
down upon him again. and his knitted
brows and distracted eyes would show
that his thoughts had gone back once
more to the great dining room of the
Abbey Grange in which this midnight
tragedy had been enacted. AT last by
q sudden impulse Just as our train was
crawling out Of suburban station he
sprang on to the platform and pulled
me out after him.
Excuse me. my dear fellow" said
he as we watched the rear carriages Of
our train disappearing round a curve.
II am sorry to make you the victim Of
what may seem a mere whim; but, on
my life, Watson, simply can't leave
that case in this condition. Every in
stinct that l possess cries out against
1t. It's wrong-it's all wrongful
swear that It's wrong. And yet the
lady's story was complete, the maids
confederation was sufficient, the detail
was fairly exact. What have to put
up against that? Three wineglasses-
that Is all. But II had not taken
things for granted. II l had examined
everything with the care which should
have shown had we approached the
case do novo and had no cut and dried
story to warp my mind, should / not
then have found something more def
mite to 90 upon? OF course I should.

.,a:!. \ .g;rss ....e redress is 20 master
her husband, and it is never pleasant
to any true hearted woman to feel that
she has to master her husband in order
to live comfortably with him. The
man who never praises his wife will
find fault on every possible occasion
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
find fault--easier than the proverbial
sliding downhill. It gets to be a habit
with some men, and they are hardly
conscious when they are exercising 1t.
Why cannot man show his wife
that he appreciates her efforts to please
him? Why cannot he praise the pud-
ding Of his wife as well as the cooking
Of her neighbor, Mrs. Jones? Why
cannot he speak kindly of her pie and
charitably of her sponge cake? Why
cannot he say that the new hat is be-
coming to the face of the woman who
loves him? Kind words make his wife
happy. and every man should bestow
them. Then he will find that the gem
eral run of affairs in his household will
be smoother all round.

"Recause Il Is frayed there p

Exactly. This end, which We can
examine. is frayed. He was cunning
enough to do that with Ms knife. But
the other end is not frayed. You could
not observe that from here, but IL you
were on the mantelpiece you would
see that it is cut clean off without any
mark Of fraying whatever. You can
reconstruct what occurred. The man

It down for fear of giving the alarm
by ringing the bell. What did he do?
He sprang upon the mantelpiece, could
not quite reach it, put his krsee on the
bracket-you> will see the impression in
the dust--and SO got his knife to bear
upon the cord. I could not reach the
place by at least three inches, from
which l infer that he is at least three
inches bigger man than / am. Look at
that mark upon the seat Of the oaken
chair! What is it?"

Undoubtedly 1t is blood. This alone
puts the lady's story out Of court. II

the crime was DONE how comes that

chair after the death Of her husband.
I'll wager that the black dress shows
a corresponding mark to this. We

with large waists should not wear a

Take>a shirt waist drawn down very
tightly over forty-two bust; it would
be an immense Improvement to have
the waist eased a bit to conceal the
figure and to create the impression that
the size was somewhat in the fullness
of the waist. But the fat woman never
seems to think of an illusion; she wants
everything as tight as possible and
thus outlines her deformity cruelty, be-

Holmes examined both it and the indie
