Odessa Was An Inferno.

Odessa, Nov. 3-An inferno ragged
in this city during the night and
continued through the early hours of
the morning No other word would
probably describe the awful scenes
enacted here during the last fifteen
hours. Conditions beggar descrip-
ton. Drunken mobs have run riot
through the streets, behaving like
packs of wild beasts toward the Jews
Although martial law was declared
yesterday and theoretically ntinues
in effect, the troops during night and,
early today did nothing to prevent
the sacking of the Jewish quarters
and work of pillage begun Wednes-
day evening has continued uncheek-
ed. This riot of b'oodshed and rob-
berry has continued now for. over
forty. eight hours. Troops have con-
tented themselves with preventing
mobs from pillaging homes and shops
of Christians, none of which have yet
been harmed.
Hospitals cannot accommodate all
the wounded, many houses being
turned into temporary ipfrmaries.
II is estimated that 5000 persons
were killed or wounded during the
rioting. This afternoon the situation
became somewhat improved.

STANDARD Wei ghts Fixed.

There is not a little discussion in
some counties as to the correctness
of weights and measures. The issce
seems to have been joined at first by
two rival concerns which sell COM
putting scales. Gov. Hayward has
received perhaps dozen letters
from clerks of court in reference to
the standard measures which should
be in the court houses in compliance
with an act passed in 1912
The acts of this State declare that
weights and measures must be regu-
lated by a standard fixed by the
Congress of the United States, that
the weights furnished by the federal
government must be kept by the
State Treasurer and by such shall
all weights in the State bs regulated
Section 1924 says: The clerk of
court in each county shall furnish
and is req uired to keep in his Office
the weights and measures established
by law which shall be the standard
of all other weights and measures in
the county and to which any person
shall have access to test the same.
The Governor of the State is author
ICED and required to purchase such
standard weights and measures out
Of the fines and forfeiturss incurred
in their respective couoties."

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely nnf1t to bear
the strain upon her nerves thatgovern-
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like :. frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner-
vous dependency. 1.-THE blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability Of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound !;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

The Case Continued.
Columbia Record, Nov. 8.

Columbia Record, Nov. 8.
MIR. Samuel F. Wheeler, the pro-
prietor of the Columbia hotel, was
arrested last night and summoned TO
appear before the recorder this morn
ing on tie charge CT running a gam
ing house. The arrest was the re-.
suit of the raid made fair week in
which twenty-three persons charged
with gambling were arrested on the
third floor of the hotel. This action
was taken by the police commission
and this morning Mr.. Wheeler ap-
peared in court and asked for con-
tinuance until tomorrow morning,
which was granted. The contin-
uance was asked for because Mr..
Wheeler's attorneys, Messrs. Bellin-
ger and Welsh, were engaged in the
pickpocket case. The warrant for
the arrest was sworn out by Special
Officer James Dunning.

TROT OR GALLOP?
What Do Fish Do, and the Seals nnd
Insects and Worms?

What Do Fish Do, and the Seals and
Insects and Worms?
Here is q problem for people with
sharp eyes: AS we all know, q horse
when walking or trotting advances
only one leg Of each pair at time, bat
when galloping lifts both fore feet to-
gether and then both hind feet. Now,
the question is how other animals man
age this matter. The birds, of course,
fap both wiegss together, but which
birds run and which hop? We human
beings 'Etrot" when we walk and gal
lop" when we swim-that is, if we are
using the plain breast stroke. The dog,
however, "trots" for bott Now, Go
the amphibious animals-the seals, ot-
ters and the rest-swim like men or
like other four footed creatures?
Then there are the fish. One would
rather expect that, as they move their
tails from side to side, they would flap
alternately with the fms, which are
their hands and feet Who can tell
whether they do or not and whether ali
fish at all times follow one rule: By
the way, how does frog use its
'hands?'
The great anatomist e. Ray Lanke-
ster has pointed out that. while the
thousand legs such as our common
gally worm, advance two feet of a pair
together, the centipeds. which are much
like them, do exactly the opposite, and
the swimming worms also alternate the
stroke of each pair Of paddles. I doubt
if many people can tell on which sys-
tenn the caterpillar manages its dozen
or so legs or whether the adult insect
walks, trots, PAGES or gallops OH Its six.
How does the spider use eight?
Altogether this is large field for OBJ
servation, field, too, where any one
may discover new facts as yet unre-
corded, and thus add to the store Of
knowledge.-St. Nicholas.
