NEVER BECOME FEATHEREp
Eggs Which This Stranger Eats Are
Boiled, Consequently Birds
Don't Issue.

A vegetarian had an amusing experience
che other morning while at breakfast. His
family was out OF town, and he went to
restaurant and took seat next to a
stranger.
The vegetarian took occasion 20 adver-
tise his creed by telling the stranger that
all meat was injurious and that the hui
man diet should be strictly vegetarian.
But" said the stranger, II seldom eat
meat"
"You Just ordered eggs" said the vege-
tartan. Gan egg is practically meat, be-
cause it eventually becomes bird
"The kind of eggs eat never become
birds" answered the stranger, quietly,
Good heavens" cried the vegetarian
"what kind of eggs do you eat2"
principally boiled eggs" said the
stranger. Chicago Tribune.

IMMIGRANTS OLD BEDDING
Said to Be Used by New York Dealers
In Making New Fur
niture.

New York dealers say that the luxurl-
GUS divans Of the rich are not infre-
quently constructed from materials
which at one time formed part of the
humble touches of immigrants from
the region of the Baltic sea, reports tho
New York Sun.
considerable part of the mattress
stuffing used by manufacturers in New
York consists of sea grass harvested on
the shores of Barnegat bay. Follow
ing big storms this variety of eel grass
is found uprooted and driven close in
shore In large masses. Men came from
as far as Philadelphia to gather 1t.
The grass Is spread on the beach,
where 1t Is cured very much as hay Is,
and after being baled is shipped to New
York dealers, who sell 1t to furniture
makers The grass brings an average
of S22 ton and finds market as far
west as Denver. About It's tons is re-
ceived by the local market in
year and most Of the stuff goes to make
up the middle layer of filling In mat
tresses for beds and divans.
For a long time the American grass
had no competitor except from Canada
But Of late another source of supply has
been found,
A sea grass similar to that found on
the coast of New Jersey is produced on
the shores of the Baltic sea and is
brought to this country In the bedding
of immigrants,
After serving the uses of the steam
ship companies in the hunks of the
steerage the sea grass is sold to small
dealers, and resold by them to the large
dealers in New York at SIS ton.
Many dealers at first refused to carry
this sea grass remembering its strange
history and fearing infection, but COM
petition overcame their scruples and
they felt themselves obliged to handle
the stuff. An average of $50 tons year
is now used by the New York trade and
is made up into mattresses and uphol.
stored chairs.
One New York firm which handles the
Baltic grass received word recently
from Philadelphia firm that the grass
shipped to it contained very lively col
ony Of fleas. The dealer wrote back that
the fleas were foreign to the nature OIL
the grass and received the reply thai
there could be no doubt of that, since the
fieas had shown a marked desire to ex
change their abiding place for the per
son of the buyer,
This incident caused an investigation
which brought to light the origin an(
history Of the Baltic grass. The deal
ers say that the Baltic grass sold to then
is not disinfected, being put UP in bale
as 1t is taken from the immigrants
hunks and supplied to the trade, will
any additions which it may have re
, ceived on the passage over.
DR.. Bensel, of the health department
said when questioned about the matte
, that in cases where there had been dis
case aboard ship all mattresses wer
burned on board and that section 152 o
y the health code provides for the inspec
, ton of all bedding which comes ashore
l He expressed disbelief in the story Q
the trade in immigrants mattresses, bu
f the dealers stoutly assert that the stu
is here and is sold at so low price tina
they are obliged to use it to protet
themselves.

Over one hundred thousand cases of

OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, June 2e.-Special.-Chas
Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace for
Oconto Co., has delivered a judgment that
is of interest to the whole United States.
Put briefly, that judgment is, "Dodd's
Kidney Pills are the best Kidney medi-
cine on the market to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason for
this Judgment. He says: Last winter [
had an aching pain in my back which
troubled me very much. In the morning
could hardly straighten my back, did
not know what it was but an advertise
ment led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After taking one box | can only say they
have done more for me than expected as
I feel as well now as ever did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may de-
velop into Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Rheumatism or some of the other deadly
forms of Kidney Disease.
In way the common people deserve to
be called the herd, and in a way they
don't. They stampede at shadows, while
real dangers don't disturb them; but, on
| the other hand, no herd can be skinned
again and again. Puck.

only question Is, "How much will he

We had in our Legislature man who
had served several terms in the gen.

measure which was tainted with even

pushed through the senate by sheer
force OF Doodle. 1t came over to the

against it every time 1t came up, but OIL

lance From line-No Loss of Life
Reported, but Damage to Property
Great and Grave Fears Ente rtained

Sheridan, Wyo, June Travel on
the Burlington railroad between Den
yer and Billings was at a practical
standstill today, owing to the fearful
cloudburst that occurred in the noun
tains west of here yesterday, n which
swept away nearly twenty miles of the
Burlington track in the vicinity of
Coburn.
So fierce was the flood of water that
an entire freight train of ten cars was
carried away and now lies some dis
lance from the old track. Gangs of
men are doing all that is possible to
repair the damage. The snow in the
mountains is melting rapidly, and the
rising waters are full of danger. Short
ly after midnight this morning Goose
creek rose over five feet, the highest
in many years. Thirteen miles of Bur
lington track was washed away on the
Cody branch, while other washouts are
reported from Toluca and Billings.
There is no loss Of life, but the dam

CasSatt's Quick Wit.

When the late Frank Thompson was
president of the Pennsylvania lines
the management put in service a new
cannon ball" train between Pittsburg
and New York. Few stops were made,
as the new flyer was keyed exceedingly
precious. President Thompson took
great pride in the fast train II was
delighted every time it pulled into the
eastern or western terminus on time.
In those days A. J. Cassatt, now pres,
ident, was vice president of the road,
and he and Thompson were close
friends. Mr.. Thompson was S proud
of the new train and it's cor for be
ing on time that he would not think OF
ordering it to make a stop not provid'
ed for in the schedule. In fact, the
president once refused to stop the
train at a small town to accommodate
a cabinet officer.
Accordingly President Thompson
was somewhat amazed when looking
owe the train sheet II day to learn
that an additional stop had been made
at a small town lea the summer resi-,
dence of Vice President Cassatt. Up
on inquiry he learned that the stop
had been ordered by Vice President
Cassatt for the accommodation of his
wife.
Soon after that the president and
vice president met. Il see you order

or his dynasty or the Swedish nation,
asking him to cooperate with the
storthing in selecting the young prince
of the house of Berodotte for the Nor
wegian throne.
1t is expected the storthins will issue
a proclamation to the northern people
regarding the dethronement of Michel
sen, accepted in behalf of the council
of state. The temporary government
of the country rendered it. The adop-
ton of the ~dethronemcnt resolution
followed promptly the notice given by
the storthing at the opening of its
session that it relinquished office from
today. The preamble merely states
that the king declared himself unable
to establish a new government for the
country, and regal power thus becomes
imperative" And hat union with
Sweden is dissolved in consequence Of
the king having ceased to act as the

FURTHER ARGUMENTS ON MO.
TON FOR APPOINTMENT OF
RECEIVER IN OIL CASE.
Judge Carpenter Will Take Up Matter
Again at July Term Of Natrona
County Court-Writ OF Temporary
Injunction Granted to Preserve
Title to Real Estate.

Judge Carpenter last evening grant
ed the plea for a temporary injunction
in the suit of Captain Bore OF the
French navy against the Pennsylvania
defendant from disposing of any OF the
property, or further clouding the title,
and set the further hearing of argu-
ments on the motion for a receiver for
the first Monday of the July term of
the Natrona county district court at
Casper. The Casper gentlemen here
home last night, going by way OF
Cheyenne.
From the petition it appears that J.
H. Lobdell secured a large amount OF
money from Captain Bore and other
French people. which he placed in the
business in Wyoming, giving a mort
gage on 105 900 acres of land, with
patent for not more than half a section
of the land. The French people, many
of them Of noble blood, gave up their
money without question, and when
they investigated they found that the
mortgage they held did not cover much
of the most valuable holdings of the
company, including the refinery at
Casper. OF course, much Of this may
be controverted at the further hearing
of arguments, but Judge Carpenter
granted the temporary injunction to
prevent the possibility of further COM
plications before the hearing.
