it is made, the finished products. and
a large number of broken briouettes,
to show the tensile strength.
Kansas plaster was used largely in
the construction of the staff on all
the st. Louis exposition buildings. The
United States Gypsum oonpany which
controls the Kansas plaster field, has
a large display of its products.
Prof. Grimsley also has on the walls
a large number of his charts, which
were part Of the Kansas display, and
on which he was awarded a gold media
Salt and Water.
Kansas salt occupies a prominent
part in the display. One case is devot-
ed to Hutchinson salt, n to Sterling
salt, and one to a miscellaneous coIlec-
ton. There are single salt crystals, as
clear as glass, from the shaft at Lyons,
which are larger than & mans hand.
Displays from the solar salt works at
Solomon are of great interest.
Mineral waite from Abilene occupie
another case. This mineral water dis
play is only about a third as large as
it was in st. Louis. 1t nearly all froze
the way to Topeka, and the bottles
were broken. A specimen Of Phillips
mineral water, so well known in Tope-
ka, is also shown.
One of the best features of the col
lection is that every exhibit is plainly
labelled, so that a stranger can exam
everything, and know exactly what
he is looking at.

SWEDES TESTIFY.
Furnish a Clue to the Secret of the
TrRwIer Incident.

Paris. Jan. 30.-The international COM
mission inquiring into the North sea in
cident at its session today heard two
Swedish witnesses, Captain Johnson and
Mate ~Stromberg, of the cargo boat
Aldebaran. They both testified that a
few hours preceding the firing on the
British trawlers by the Russian squad
ron their boat was attacked in the
North sea by a strange warship which
fired many shots at the lA1debaran but
did not do her serious damage. The
stranger then disappeared.
Counsel for Russia protested that this
testimony was not directly connected
with the North sea incident, but Adj
miral Fournier, president of the com
mission, ruled that the testimony was
admissible. Hugh O'Beirene, the Brit
ish agent said the strange vessel was
he Russian transport, Kamtchatka,
which mistook the Swedish craft for a
torpedo boat. Mr.. O'Beirene further de-
clared that the Kamtchatka thereafter
sent a wireless message to Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky notifying him that
she had been attacked by a torpedo a
and Rojestvensky thereupon ordered his
squadron to be or the lookout for tor
pedo boats which Mr. 'Beirene asserted
caused the North sea incident.

Nine Hundred Lumber Wagon Drivers
Out in Chicago.

Chicago. Jan. SO.-Nine hundred
lumber wagon drivers struck here to-
day. Operations of firms comprising
the lu~mbermen's association-corpor-
atoms that control the supply of lum-
Der for building, the flooring mills and
the sash, door and blind and box
factories of the city were affected.
One hundred firms are members of
the association and they assert that
thye will stand together in opposing
the demands of the drivers.
The drivers affected belong to the
lumber, box and shaving teamsters'
local OF the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters. Since last December
they nave been seeking an increase of
wages for drivers of two horse wagons
from $13 to $14 a week. No increase
is asked for single river who have
been getting $12. The employers
would concede no advance.
A strike of $50 planning mill en-
ployes also is said to be pending. A
new agreement offered by the lumber
mems association practically provid-
ing for the "open shop" has been re-
iected.

When a child I had a very severe at
tack of Diphtheria, which camenearprov-
ing fatal. Upon recovery the glands of the
neck were very much enlarged, and after
the free use of iodine, the right one was
reduced to its normal size, but the left
one continued to grow-very slowly at
first, until it was about the sizeof a goose
egg, which began to press on the wind
pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be-
came very painful. An incision was made
and a large quantity Of pus discharged.
The gland was removed, or as much as
could with safety be taken out. For ten
years wore alittle piece of cloth about an
inch long in my neck to keep the place
open. During this time I had to have il
cut open by the doctor every time took
cold or the opening clogged. In the Spring
or early Summer Of 1884 I was persuaded
by my wife to use S. S. s., which I did.
