Minneapolis was chosen as the meet
ing place for 1906.
The contest for commander-in-chief
was the most interesting feature of the
session. Beside Corporal Tanner, R. b.
Brown, of GAINESVILLE, O.: Charles Bur-
rows, of Rutherford, N. j., and Charles
G. Burton, of Nevada, Mo, were placed
in nomination. Burrows name was i'm
mediately withdrawn. AS the roll call
of departments proceeded it became ap-
parent from the number of departments
seconding Tanner that his election was
certainty. The total vote for Tanner
was 447. Brown received 1877, Ohio and
Pennsylvania giving him their full vote
and Indiana a majority. The only large
delegation that voted for Burton was
that of Missouri His total strength
was AZ votes.
When the adiutant general announced
the result the convention went wild. The
old veterans leaped from their seats,
shouting and cheering and throwing
their hats in the air.

INVENTION AND INDUSTRY.

A needle machine can turn cut 1,5O0,-
900 needles a week.
About 10000 tons Of butter are
made yearly in Great Britain.
America makes more barrels than
any other country. The annual produce
ton is 200,000000 barrels and circu-
lar packages.
An ironmaster in South Wales
claims to have invented a process by
which the cost OF making steel can
be reduced 20 per cent.
California produced 9,649 434 barrels
Of petroleum last year-a fourth of
the total of the United States. Ohio
produced 1S,S76,631 barrels and Penn
sylvania 100000 barrels.
1t is stated by leading paper manu-
facturer that during the year 1906 the
paper makers Of this country will con-
sumo 100000 tons of wood pulp. YER
lily this is a reading people.
A barrel of salt is produced In the
United States each year for every four
inhabitants. New York is the leading
salt producing state, the yield being
one barrel for each inhabitant.
A few months ago the pearl button
industry of Birmingham, was practi-
cally dead. To-day it is fiourishing,
and millions of pearl buttons are be-
ing turned out, thanks to the fad that
soft-fronted shirts have come into IA
vor in England.
Pneumatic fabrication" is what DR..
Carlo Del Lungo, of Genoa, calls his
new plan for increasing the speed OF
ships. 1t consists in reducing the
density Of the surrounding water by
pumping air into it, creating a foamy
stratum in which the vessel slips for
ward against greatly lessened resist
ance.

HONEST PHYSICIAN
Works with Himself First.

It is a mistake to assume that physi-
clans are always skeptical as to the
curative properties Of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use Of
drugs as possible and by the use OF
correct food and drink. A physician
writes from Calf to tell how he made
we'll man of himself with Natures
remedy:
Before came from Europe, where
I was born" he says, at was my Gus
tom to take coffee with milk (cafe au
lait) with my morning meal, a small
cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and
two or three additional small cups at
my club during the evening.
"In time nervous symptoms devel.
oped, with pains in the cardiac region,
and accompanied by great depression
of spirits, despondency-in brief, the
blues! I at first tired medicines, but
got no relief and at last realized that

substituting English Breakfast Tea.
''The tea seemed to help me at first,
but in time the old distressing symp-
toms returned. and quit it also. and
tried to use milk for my table bever-
age This I was compelled however to
abandon speedily for while it relieved
the nervousness somewhat, it brought
on constipation. Then by a happy
inspiration I was led to try the Postum
Food Coffee. This was some months
ago and I still use It. l am no longer
nervous, nor do l suffer from tho
pains about the heart, while my blues
have left me and life is bright to me
once more. know that leaving off
coffee and using Postum healed me,
and make 1t rule to advise my pa
tents to use It," Name given by

Few persons outside the Carnegie
household have any idea Of Mrs. Car.
nege's solicitude for the material
comforts of her husband. In past
years the laird of Skibo looked after
all sorts of minor business details, but
lately his faithful spouse has relieved
him Of much worry in that direction
With her own hands she cooks his
morning dish of oatmeal and she must
do this by 7 O'Clock every day, for Mr.

Recent experiments with wide and
narrow tires showed that on a clay
road, thoroughly wet, a wagon fitted
with two-inch tires produced ruts to
the depth of several inches, while a
wagon having tires four inches wide,
and with the front axle shorter than
the rear so that the wheels did not
track, produced hard, smooth surface
on the road, and required but half as
much pull as the narrow-tired wagon.
From four to eight times as much
force is required to start load as to
keep it in motion.

The work of collecting the remains
of the men of the British forces who
fell in the Boer war has now been

5000 bodies were reinterred in the

MASSACRE AND DESTRUCTION
Russian Cities Being Burned and

Foreign Residents and Better
Classes of BaI<u Flee to Sea
From Danger.

Baku, Caucasia, rept. S.-The situa-
ton shows no signs of amelioration, 1t
could hardly be worse. The TERROR
stricken inhabitants are fleeing from
the city, knowing that the garrison is
utterly inadequate to protect them;
and although the worst scenes Of fro
and massacre have not yet occurred in
Baku itself, none dare think how far
the excess may proceed.
The entire oil and commercial quar-
ters Of Balakhan, Sabunto and Nomani
have been wiped out by fire. and the
inhabitants remaining behind were
massacred and thrown onto the flames.
Biblebat continues to burn, and is
threatened with the same fate as Balak-
han.
The consulates, banks and admins
tration buildings in Baku are guarded
by troops All Of the English resi-
dents and almost all of the better
classes have boarded to sea to escape
from danger. All available steamers
have been employed for this purpose
Dispatches say several thousand
were killed or wounded in the fighting
at Balkan, where the Tartars were in
trenched in forts, and more than held
their own for time against the
troops.
| A whole army of hungry workmen
driven in from the burned suburbs, has
focked into the city. There is thu
greatest restitution, and measures fol-
transporting the workmen from the city
are imperatively necessary.

The old wood in the Lippincott man.
sion, Philadelphia, has been secured
by musical instrument makers, who
claim that they have found a treasure,
in that the wood is not only seasoned,
but is of a kind that it is almost i'm
possible to get nowadays. One of the
foremost violin makers of this country
made the discovery that the joists in
the yellow mansion were of a quality
of spruce wood, now extinct, that is
of rare quality for the rim and back
of violins. He got monopoly on the
old wood, and while the wreckers
were tearing down the house he EN-
ployed detectives to watch his prize.

colt Problem.

Washington, Sept. 8.-Secretary of
State Root is expected to take active
charge of the affairs OF the state depart
ment on October /. When he does so
some exceedingly interesting matters
of international and national impor-
lance will be laid before him for set
Element. No action has yet been taken
by the United States with view to
the recognition Of Norway as an indie
pendent sovereignty, and it is declared
at the state department none will be
taken until Secretary Root has an op-
portunity to consider the right Of Nor
way to receive at this time such recog-
milton. It will not be the policy of the
United States under any circumstances
to make formal acknowledgment Of
Norways independence until such rec
ignition has been accorded by France,
Germany and Great Britain.
The Open Door In Far East.
One of the most important matters to
come before the new secretary will be
the policy of this country with regard
TO the far east under the new condition
of affairs resulting from the Russo-Jap-
anese war and the treaty of peace be-
tween those countries A coalition be-
tween Russia and Jpan, such as has
been suggested in some quarters,
whereby those countries take unto
themselves the bulk of the trade with
Manchuria, would certainly be fought
by the United States. 1t is not be-
lieved however, that Japan would be
willing to enter into such an arrange
ment with Russia.
The Chinese Boycott.
In connection with the settlement OF
the Chinese policy, Secretary Root will
be brought face to face with the antag-
onistic attitude assumed by Chinese
merchants toward the United States, a:
evidenced by the boycott Of American
goods in Shanghai, Canton and a few
other ports of China. That some step;
must be taken TO end this boycott i;
certain, and at present the only meth
cd known to the state department is
the negotiation with China of broad
er exclusion treaty, The special rep
resentatiye of the Chinese government
on exclusion matters is now in thi'
country, and will meet Secretary Roo
Immediately after he takes hold of at
fairs. Little hope is now expressed b!
the officials of the state department tina
the senate would approve mild eX
clusion treaty unless forced to do SO b!
a popular sentiment, which might de
mand this concession to China in or
der that the trade relations between
the two countries may be placed upol
their former comparatively satisfac
tory basis.

People and houses are packed moro
closely together in New York City
than in any other spot on earth. Be-
cause 1t is an island and already well
filed, little space remains on Manhat-
tan for lateral growth; therefore the
development in building, which contin.
ues rapidly and constantly, follows the
line Of least resistance, which is the
vertical line. The new tenement
houses and apartment-houses are much
taller than those built a decade ago.
No more homes OF the old "brown-
stone-front" type are erected; they do
not make the most of the ground
space which they occupy.
