Newport, March P, 1905. To the Public:-I cheerfully rec ommend the text books and meth ods of the International Corres- pondence Schools of Scranton, Pa. These schools make it easily within the reach of all who would seek to fit themselves for higher and better paying positions to do so and at small cost. 1 have been a student of this institution for more than year and consid- CT my text books and the infor- nation gained, worth ten times the price paid. Have met with difficulties in my work that with out the knowledge thus gained, 1 could not have overcome.
 Practical experience is good, but why spend a lifetime to learn what others have learned before you. Enroll in the I. c. s.

Texarkana, March 23. Freight train No. 97, Iron Mountain, coming south, was held up at 5 a. m. today by drunken section foreman named Fred Snellin at Bowden.
 Snellin shot at Engineer Vim and threatened to kill the brake man if he Jagged the tran for ward. The train finally backed to Prescott and officers were brought back, who arrested Snel- lin. Brakeman Hellem had Snel- nil tied when the officers arrived, having knocked him down with d Winchester. The holdup was not for the purpose of robbery.
 Snellin was jealous because his wife had waved at the trainmen. Snellin shot the windows out of the cab.

WERE MISTAKEN
 ABOUT THE DATE.

Some one started the report soon after the approval of the act that it would become effective March 23. This was accepted by all without apparent investiga- tion, and all the insurance com panies, acting on this theory, in- structed their agents to cease writing business on March 22, the day before it was supposed the law became effective. It de- velops, however, upon a mo- ment's calculation, that the act does not become effective until midnight of March "A, as it was approved by Gov. Davis at 10 a. m., January 23, to become effect i've sixty days thereafter. The sixty days expire March "A, at midnight.

Cuero, Tex, March 23. Con rad Schwartz, aged about 20, was hanged here today for the mur- der of William E. Earle, a tele- graph operator. Schwartz had robbed the railroad station where Earle was at work, at Yorktown, and on the refusal of the opera ator to open the safe, Schwartz shot him twice. Before going to the scaffold Schwartz made a second confession and professed religion. His aged father and mother were with him until the death chamber was reached.

NOTICE.

While the antitrust law has forced most of the old-line stock Fire Insurance Companies to withdraw from the state, we still have facilities for taking care of any reasonable line of insurance offered us.
 There are now ten old-line stock companies authorized to do business in the state, and we are their representatives for New port and Jackson county. The indemnity offered by these com- panies is absolutely reliable, and we will be glad to receive appli- cations for any class of insurable property, including farm houses and barns.
 We do not represent mutual companies, and if we issue you a policy you can rest assured that the company has a cash paid-in capital and $2OO,000 bond to pay losses with.

Armed For EMERGENCIES.

When Fridtjof Nansen was a young STU
dent, he attended Il ball and danced with
many partners. Returning long after mid
night through the streets to his lodgings,
he heard loud outcrics from a woman who
was struggling with two rufians. In an
other moment the woman broke away
from them and ran toward the spot where
Nanscn was standing, The two men were
close behind her in hot pursuit.
Nansen was an athlete full Of courage
and vigor and put himself on guard as the
men approached. He allowed the woman
to pass, but called upon the Infatuated
pursuers to halt, standing directly in their
way and hitting out first at one and then
at the other. The ruffians, angered by his
unexpected attack, turned resentfully up
on the rescuer and would have overpow-
cred him and possibly have murdered him
If he had not shown presence of mipd.
Drawing himself up to his full height ans
throwing back his coat collar so as to ex-
pose the cotillon favors which he had
worn during the ball, he sternly asked
them if they knew who he was.
The two assailants, awed by his
and %supposing him to be a royal officer,
were at once cowed. They apologized
roughly for not recognizing him, dropped
their arms and sneaked off in the opposite
direction from that which the woman had
taken.
This incident Of Nansen's youth illus
trated at once the fearless courage and the
readiness of resource which were to char
aoterize his career as an intrepid explorer.

Shaking Hands.

Men shake hands with strangers Of their
own Sex with far greater readiness than do
women. Two men, on being presented to
one another, will frequently extend the
hand in a grasp of greeting which gives
opportunity to form a general idea OF each
others make up and know whether they
are attracted or repulsed. Occasionally
there is q man with sufficient good nature
aud courage to refuse another mans hand
without causing offense. There are men
who have been so impressed with the dis.
coveries of bacteriology that they maintain
bandshaking to be the cause of dissemina-
ton of disease germs. The bare hand
comes in contact with innumerable germs
looking for pasturage on some vulnerable
spot of our anatomy. A cut or abrasion
on the hand leaves d door open for the ad-
mission of the enemy. Therefore it is with
reason that men argue against promiscu-
GUS h%andshaking out Of the home among
the men met in business life. Science long
& frowned upon the practice Of promis-
ouous kissing which prevailed among
women. Is the ungloved handshake also
doomed?-San Francisco Argonaut.
