in place of beef. One of the firms in

firm writes that whale meat tastes
more like venison than beer and is
quite tempting article of diet" The
firm intends shortly to try shipment
to the English market, where it is ex-

whale meat at from 3 to 6 cents q
pound. The meat has already been
shipped in large quantities to the West

They May Establish the Identity OF
Nebraska Woman.
Upon string Of pearls sealed about
her waist when child and now i'm
bedded in her flesh, Mrs. Joseph Hold
ODER of Wakefield. Neb., relies to es-
tablish her identity as Mott Pearl
princess Of the house Of Gujelt Singh
India, and to prove her right to a
fortune of 100000 now in the Bank
Of England, according to the Boston
Herald. This string Of jewels was
put about her waist when girl to
he the insignia Of her royal birth
For fifteen years Mrs. Holdober has
sought to establish her identity and
to prove to the consuls of Germany
and England in the United States that
she is really little Mott Pearl. daugh-
ter of the Prince of Gujelt Singh. and
that she left for Washington recently
Her journey came to an abrupt end
when the Chicago authorities. after Il
hasty examination. sent her to Dun
ming asylum and in the same day CON
fined her husband to the detention hos
pital and separated her from her two
small children. Before going east
Mrs. Holdober was examined by sew
eral prominent physicians who made
affidavit to her sanity and told OF max
ing an examination of the woman's
abdomen. where a number of Indian
pearls were imbedded when she was
child.
Four large pearls may still be seen
sewed In her skin, while the sears
where she has cut out half Il dozen
precious stones tell only too plainly
that poverty has caused her to remove
gem from time to time and convert
it into cash. The original strand was
worth $4,000. This string of royal
pearls, together with the story she
tells, Is her only evidence of being an
Indian princess and heiress to over
100000 left by the house of Guielt
Singh and deposited by English Off
GERS in the Bank of England.

Healthy Children.

without good health life is not worth
living. Sickly, peevish children are
a source of endless trouble and anxiety
to their parents, yet the children's con-
dition is frequently due to their par
ents' ignorance or thong or
both.
To make children healthy and to
keep them in that condition it is neces-
ssry to feed them proper food and to
see that they get plenty Of exercise and
fresh air. Meat is very bad for chill
dren. 1t should be avoided and food
rich in phosphates. such as Pillsbury q
Vitos, should be given it its place.
This food is truly the "meat of the
wheat" 1t is made by the worlds
greatest millers and it is free from art
ificial coloring or adulteration. 1t is
not especially a ohild's food. Your
whole family will enjoy this common
sense cereal. 1t makes a wholesome,
su bstantial breakfast, or an appetizlng
dessert. and can be prepared in one
hundred different ways.
Every good grocer will supply you
with Pillsbury's Vitos. Large pack.

'The story in the novel is great

glad to come upon it. George Eliot,
had she been an American, could have

President Roosevelt is mapping out
a lot Of work to occupy the attention
Of Congress when it next assemblies.
Questions that are Of great moment to
the business world and the public in
general are to be placed squarely be-
fore the legislators for action. The
Presidents attitude on the railway
rate question has not been modified
since he first directed attention to the
manifest evil that has grown up I'M
der the insldious system of rebates.
Mr. Roosevelt strikes the keynote
when he says the highways must be
kept open to all on equal terms. The
abuses of the private ear line and the
private terminal track and private
side switch system must be stopped,
the President says. There Is little
doubt that the majority of the people
echo his sentiments in this regard. If
the President has his way, power to
revise and regulate rates will be IN
vested in the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Another measure Of
great Importance that will be recon-
mended by the President Is n bill to
prevent bribery and other forms Of
corruption in Federal elections. State
courts have showed in a lamentable
number of instances that they are not
beyond the banefu influence Of ward
leaders, and attempts to punish vio-
lators Of the sanctity of the ballot box
have ANONYMOUSLY failed. The alb
solute publication of politics probably
will ever remain an iridescent dream,
but there is little doubt that Fed
eral statute, asking the trial of offend
ers against the ballot out of the con-
troll of State courts, would be long
step forward in Il commendable eff
fort to free the ballot box of fraud.
Federal control of insurance is another
question that will be discussed in the
Presidents message. The disclosures
that are being made in the investiga-
ton in New York have aroused a
storm Of indignant protest from policy
holders who demand that their inter-
ests shall be protected and safeguard
ed by Federal control.

When the Civil War closed the
Union army had an enrolment of a
little more than million. In June
of this year the report of the Commits
sioner Of Pensions showed more than
six hundred and eighty thousand sur
vivors on the pension rolls There
are probably many veterans who do
not appear on the pension rolls, so that
the number of survivors is remark
ably large. Certainly the sentimental
cartoon which the newspapers print

Black fills Young Man Bought Green
Goods.
A green goods" concern of New
York is $3.50 ahead and a popular
young man of Deadwood is the loser.
Several weeks ago the young man,
who stands we'll here, received cir
cular letter from a New York green
goods concern offering him $4,000
worth Of their paper for a considera-
ton of $3.50. They offered him re-
turn trip to New York if he would take
up their proposition. They sent him
a 81 bill which they claimed was
sample of their goods. This 81 bill
passed successfully among his friends.
becoming enthused, he wrote for the
pass and proceeded to New York. He
was met by smooth young man who
took him to elegantly furnished ro1rls.
On the table there was a large pile of
paper bills of all denominations. The
young man was entertained lavishly,
was given rides about tie city and
the money on the table was used for
the purpose. After returning from one
of these glittering trips he was asked
if he wished to accept their PROPOSE
ton. He Immediately handed over his
$3.50 and was told to take from the
pile on the table the $4,000, which he
started to do when suddenly there was
a rap on the outside door, and the
agent apparently was afraid that
"sleuths'' were on their track. He hus-
tied the young man out of sight and
handed him as he did so package
which he said contained $4,000. He
warned the young man to leave the
town as soon as he could and be sure
and express the package to Deadwood
in order to escape possible arrest.
This the young man did, sending the
package on ahead to his home town.
When he arrived in Deadwood he
opened the package with feverish
hands and found it contained only a
roll of brown paper. The story has
leaked out and the young man is ac-

Gov. Elrod signed the first law of

The house decided that it had been
quiet long enough, and debated bills
brought before it. The first was the
bill appropriatin. $S,923 deficiency at
the soldiers home. This was opposed
by Vanosdel, who announced it as his
belief that the deficiency was caused
by extravaganza in management and
violation of direct law. He believed
that the old soldiers should be prop
erly cared fer, but did not believe in
going to the extent of violating the law
to do so. Clark of Fall River and Tur-
ner of Farlk supported the measure on
the ground that the deficiency was
caused by absolute necessity. 1t was
passed with but four dissenting votes,

the resolution finally was tabled on

Brotrud, Hebal, Carroll and Bowdell,
and opposed by Madison, Countryman,
Craig and Turner, the latter opposing
it on the ground that the people of the
state twice had voted and defeated the
same proposition.
An unfavorable report was returned
by the house committee on the appro-

state fair grounds at Huron.
Two Irvine plant bills were intro
