LONGEST TUNNEL IN WORLD.
Boring of the SimpIOn Tunnel
Through the Alps Was COmplet-
ed Friday Morning.

Geneva, Switzerland, Feb. 25.-The
boring of the Simplon tunnel, the
longest tunnel in the world, was COM
pleted at 1870 Friday morning.
The accomplishment of the great en-
cheering feat was celebrated in fit
ting manner by the ringing of bells
and the firing of guns throughout the
country.
Work on the tunnel. which is over
thirteen miles long, was begun five
years ago. Straight through the heart
of the Alps the passage way has been
bored. Work was begun at both ends
of the tunnel simultaneously, and a re-
markable part of the feat is that when
the two-Swiss and Italian-working
parties met there was barely a foot's
deviation. The work had been a most
difficult one, owing to the fact that the
bore passed through some of the high
est mountains in the Alps.

Woman as a Runner.

Prof. Mason, of Washington, SAYS
that woman is not built for running,
adding that she may walk like a god
dess, but she runs like a hem" There
is good ground for the outspoken Prof.
Mason's remark, as contemporary OBJ
servation discloses, but one cannot just
ly attribute it to any more ~deep-seated
reason than skirts, observes the Port
land Oregonian. Diana, who would
hardly give unto the flying hart space
to breathe, how short soever,' was not
incumbered with Tapping petticoats,
nor did ATLANTA outdistance her pant
ing-if manifestations under the
handicap of ever a rainy day skirt. Nor,
if magazine illustrations are to be be-
lieved, Go the young Amazons of the
girls colleges run 100 yards in II sec
onds or thereabout in the garb they
wear at a dance. The winning wave,
deserving note in the tempestuous petit
coat" has nothing to do with winning
foot races, and Prof. Mason should at
tribute woman's (alleged) hen-like gait
to the fashion of her clothes rather than
to the fashion of her making.

as they heard the words:
MOT guilty"
Il am glad" was all Kratz would
say for a time.
Later, when more calm, Kratz made
this statement:
Il knew in my conscience that l was
innocent, and am pleased and vindi-
Gated in my own mind. l am now free
and have nothing hanging over me for
the first time in three years.

ALABAMA'S MINE DISASTER
Prompt Measures Being Taken In
birmingham and other Cities to
Relieve the

Birmingham, Ala. Feb. 23.-At eight
o'clock Wednesday evening rs black
ened and disfigured bodies had been
recovered from the Virginia mines, in
which the awful explosion occurred on
Monday afternoon, entombing what Is
now confidently believed to be more
than $50 of the best miners in the
Birmingham district.
To-day will be a day of funerals al
Virginia City, Bessemer, Pratt City
and Ensley. The bodies have been
taken to Bessemer as fast as identi-
fed.
The rescuers are still heroically at
work in the slope, and as the diggers
advance, the bodies further in the
mine are found to be worse burned
and mutilated than those nearer the
exterior. No hope is now held out
that any of the men can be alive.
The Birmingham district has come
promptly forward in the matter of re-
lieving the destitute families of the
victims, and mass meetings have been
held in Birmingham, Bessemer, Ensley,
and Pratt City for that purpose. Hun
dreds of dollars have been subscribed
in the suburbs, and Birmingham COM
mercial clubs have raised more thar
5000 for the sufferers.

TURNED OUT A BOOMERANG
Theft of the Breeders Law Repeal
Bill at Missouri Capital.
The Eject VIII be More Drastic
Legislation Against Betting
ON Horse Races.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 25.-In
lightning time the house of represent
atives, by a vote Of 113 to Z, passed
house bill No. 10, which repeats abso-
lutely the breeders law, legalizing
bockmaking and pool selling at the
race tracks.
This action was followed Immediate
ly by the introduction of a new anti
gambling bill prepared under the direc-
ton of Accomplishment Hadley.
Thus the race track lobby, which
has been SO active in attempting to
block adverse legislation, is dealt a
double blow.
On motion of Representative Speer,
the new bill will take precedence over
all other legislation, and be placed on
the records for final passage not later
than Monday.
The new anti-gambling bill is en-
titled, "An act prohibiting bookmaking
and pool selling and prescribing a
penalty therefor"
1t makes betting on horse racing IN
Missouri a felony.
1t took just nine minutes to engross
and pass the repeal bill. Arrange
ments to do SO were made prior to the
opening of the session, and thus all
delay was avoided.
Representative R. L. Hams, member
Of the house investigating committee,
said: "It is the intention of the COM
mittee to probe this matter to the bot
tom. We have secured evidence al
ready which points to the fact h a
somebody has been tamperlng with the

Rack TO the Farm.

Things ON the farm are changing, and
we already observe, if we watch the
barometer of social life, that there is
a tendency to get back to the coun-
try. Fifteen years ago, for instance,
less than so per cent. of the population
were moving c~ountryward; in 1900 the
statistics show that 70 per cent. were
seeking homes in rural districts, and il
ing away from the city reaches rs per
cent, says Opportunity. At last, with
Solomon, they are discovering that "aIl
is vanity" in the cities; that friendships
are difficult, that neighbors don't know
the names one of the other, that noise,
dirt, confusion are there, and the strug-
gle to live is at the desperate stage all
the time. The telephone, the trolley
line, free rural mail delivery-these are
mitigating the unsocial side of rural
life, and the beauty of nature is doing
the rest. Intelligent men and women,
seeking the health of their families,
physical, moral and spiritual, are taking
up homes where acres abound, and are
giving to rural life something it has
lacked before. The practical farmer
finds in these additions to his neighbor-
hood circle stimulus and cheer, and the
children of the farm and of the families
from the city find mutual pleasure ia
association. The movement is an all
around good one. 1t marks a new era
in rural life and a change of inestimable
value to those with courage enough to
pull up stakes and leave the town. 1t is
one of the most encouraging signs of the
times.

women absolutely free of charge.
Mrs. Pinkham has for many years

even life TO her helpful advice.

II suffered for a long time with womb
trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that | had a tumor on the womb. / did not

pound to onquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to

Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks
nothing in return for her advice. 1t is
absolutely free, and to thousands of
women has proved to be more precious

PACKERS HAVE BEEN GOOD.
poo1.ra Their skirts Are Clean, and
That They Have Not violated
the Law.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Reports that they
are trying to thwart the government IN
its efforts to make a full and complete
inquiry before the grand jury OF the
charges of alleged violations OF the
Sherman antitrust law and the Gross
CUP Injunction, is denied by representa-
tives of the various packing industries
of Chicago.
They insist that they have given to
the agent of the department of CON-
merce and labor every possible faclll-
ty for a thorough investigation OF their
business dealings, and they assert that
they welcome action on the part OF the
government, as it will enable them to
prove to the public that their skirts
are clean of the allegations that they
have violated the law.

There is in circulation in Coving-

Island railroad was built it missed
Williamsburg by three miles. There
are a number of fourishing towns
in Covington county,. and if the
board consents to issue a call for the
removal there will be quite a lively
scramble on the part of these rail-
road towns for the county site.

AN INDIANA SENSATION.
An Attempt to Bride a State Repre-

Anti-Cigarette Bill.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 23.-The spe-

by Speaker Sidney Cantwell of the
house of representatives, following
the declaration of Representative Ana
Mas Baker, of Fulton and Cass oun
ties, who in explaining his vote on
the anti-cigarette bill in the house pro-
duced a letter containing a $100 bill,
which he charged was sent to him by
those interested in defeating such leg
islation, has Issued an order for the
arrest of o. A. Baker, of Marion, a
former state senator, charging him
with attempting to corrupt Representa-
tive Baker. The Investigating COM
mittee, with the assistance Of Attor-
ney-General Charles w. Miller, who
did the questioning, wrung from Repre-
sentative Baker the name of the ex-
state senator only after an hour OF
persistent and cleverly-planned pues-
tioning. Mr.. Baker said he had had
to promise the alleged briber not to di-
vulge his name. in order to draw him
out.
Detectives are searching for the &C
cused.
