Oliver Pierson, a pioneer ol
Morrow county, was found dead in
the watercloset back Of the Hotel
lone at about 5 o'clock Wednes-
day evening. He had cut bis
throat from ear to ear with a small
pearl handled pocket knife.
The coroner's jury returned a
verdict that the deceased met
death caused by knife wound on
the throat inflicted by his own
hands.
Mr.. Pierson was an old-time set
tlel and favorably known citizen
of Morrow county, having lived
here some 25 years. He sold his
ranch in the Eight-Mile country
several years ago and has been in
Sweden, his native country, until
his return a few weeks ago. He

the morning train and had been
talking to L. Jordan about buying
the lone Livery stable not half an
hour before he was seen to 60 out
the back door of the hotel, which
was the last seen of him until

How the Drug Is Extracted From
the Poppy and Made Into
Balls-Will Keep Its Proper
ties Fifteen Years or More.

The preparation of raw opium in
North India is carried out as follows:
In February, as a rule, the juice is
gathered, the poppy plant being then
in full flower and of a height OF three
or four feet, each stem having from
two to five capsules of the size OF a
ducks egg, says the Tropical Agricul-
turist. Before the capsules are pierced
the fallen petals of the flowers are
carefully gathered and sorted accord
ing to conditions, in three grades, and
then are heated over slow fire and
formed into thin cakes, or to be used
for the covering of the drug when col
lt<4ted. The piercing of the pods re-
quires great skill and upon it largely
depends the yield: The opium farmer
and his assistants each carry a small
lancelike tool, which has three or four
short, sharp prongs and with these a
half-dozen perpendicular cuts are
made in each capsule or seed pod Of
the poppy. The juice begins to flow at
once, but quickly congeals. The day
after the thickened juice is carefully
gathered, being scraped off with a

4 Funny Little "Fiddler,"


One of the most interesting men,
bers of the crab family is the queer
and grotesque fiddler" which lives in
burrows in the banks of creeks and
estuaries back of the beach. Into these
burrows the crab retires in autumn
and composes itself for a long winter
sleep. The eye-stalks are then folded
down into sockets beneath thee shell,
and the large claw rests closed and
inert against the body, while the legs
are folded up until the entire animal
is snugly closed upon itself, and it re-
mains in this dormant condition until
the spring. Early in April the fiddlers
awaken and Immediately attend to
cleaning out their burrows. The large
claw is useless for eating, only the
small one being available for this pur-
pose. It is amusing to see the delicacy
with which this little claw feels about
and picks up the particles of vege-
table matter and places them in the
mouth, while the eyes are all the time
raised aloft on their stalks and appar-
emily looking off into the distance
The female crabs have both claws
small and of equal size, so they are
both used in feeding, and she can sat
isfy her hunger just twice as easily
and quickly as the male. These fiddler
crabs also gather food and store it in
their burrows for future use-St.

Ivory is, strictly speaking, obtained

ca~d f8000OO PERYEAR

The German Emperor, with an an
nual income of about four millions
dollars is poor man, and has great
diff iculty in making both ends meet,
declares the London Express. He does
not receive farthing in his capacity
as German Emperor, but fulfils the
duties Of this honorary position free
of charges to the federation Of Ger
man states. The Kaiser draws his in
come, first, as the King OF Prussia;
and, second, as private landowner.
His income as King OF Prussia
amounts approximately to $4OOO,OO0,
per annum. The Emperor of Russia
receives an annual allowance OF ap-
proximately $5;00000, and the Emper-
or of Austria an annual allowance OF
more than $4,0000O0. Both these mon
archs receive additional allowance for
certain definite purposes, and both OF
them own vast landed estates far SUI
perior in acreage to the German EN-
peror's possessions.
The Sultan of Turkey receives an
annual allowance of Of $1O,O00,00O,
and the King of Italy draws over $3,-
100000 per annum; while the in
comes of several monarchs of smaller
states are nearly as large as that OF
the King of Prussia.
The amount of $4,000,000 granted
annually to the German Emperor in
his capacity as King of Prussia is
not taken from the national ex-
chequer, but from revenues from
state dominions which were formerly
the private property of the Prussian
royal house. The Crown lands were
handed over to the state, and in re-
turn the state pays fixed annual
income to the monarch.
A Large Landowner.
The Kaiser owns eighty-three land
ed estates, comprising a total Of
25O,OO0 acres. He is the greatest
landowner in Germany, and his pos
sessions far exceed those of the three
landowners whose estate rank next to
his own in acreage. These are the
Prince of Pless, who owns 125,00O
acres: the Duke of Ujest, who owns
1O0. 900 acres; and the Duke of Rati-
bor. who owns $4,000 acres. Some OF
the land of the Kaiser's estate is
rented to farmers; but the Emperor
carries on busines. on his own ac-
count in several parts of the country.

Amongst other follies of the days of

honor, to throw some part of his dress
into the fire, an example which his
friends were bound to follow by con-
suming the same article Of their appar-

One Of his friends, perceiving at
tavern dinner that Sir Charles Sedley
had on. a very rich lace cravat when

The Kaiser's workmen are paid
abnormally high wages. and all his
employees receive liberal pensions in
their old age, or in case Of sickness.
He also provides literally for the
widows and children out of his pri-
vate purse. All these payments con-
sumo large proportion of the profits,
so that the Emperor's income from his
estates is comparatively small.
Practically speaking, the German
Emperor is thus obliged to live on his
royal income of $4,000000 per an
mum, which is altogether insufficient
for his requirements. The Kaiser has
no personal extravagances, but lives
simple and strenuous life of hard
work and little luxury. He spends
little money on his table, for the cuis-
inc Of the German Imperial residence
is notorious for it's inferiority.
The Kaiser is not dandy, and
spends comparatively small
amount on his clothes. The horses
he rides are not of particularly
good breed, and not unusually expen-

sitiOn.
Imperial Sp!endor.
He is, however, extravsgant in one
respect, namely in keeping up the
imperial magnifcence of his Court on
a scale never previously attempted by
| a King of Prussia. The support of re-
1atives forms a first charge on the
Kaiser's income. He has to provide
an annual allowance for his six sons,
and has to maintain separate Court
for several distant relatives
The Crown Prince, now he is mar
ried, will be surrounded by his own
Court, comprising marshal mas
ter of ceremonies, master of horse,
master of the hunt, lords in wait
! ing, gentlemen in waiting, aidesAle-
camp, and so forth. The mainten-
ance of the Crown Princely Court is
expected to cost the Kaiser at least
$2,5O0,O00 per annum.y His other sons
are, growing up, and it will soon be
necessary to provide for them in the
same way.
The Kaiser has to maintain sep
arate Court for Prince Henry of Prus-
sia, Prince Frederic Leopold of Prus-
sia, Prince A1brecht of Prussia, and
