The Russian naval standard.

The Russian naval standard-a blue
flag with a white cross-was adopted
by Peter the Great, who stayed for
some months at Gaardam, near Am
sterdam, working as a mechanic to
gain a knowledge of shipbuilding.
During this time he took a strong
fancy to a clever workman named
Cruys, whom he persuaded to return
with him to Russia after he had reveal
ed to him his true name and position.
Cruys drew the plans for the first
ships built for the Russian navy, and,
TO show his appreciation, Peter the
Great made him an admiral and gave
orders that the Russian navy should
thenceforth have a special flag with
a white cross upon it to perpetuate the
memory Of his trusted associate, Cruys
being an old form Of the Dutch word
for cross.

MRS. CHADWICK
HAS A MILLION
Has That Amount Where
Only She Can Get
CAUGHT WHEN ABOUT TO FLEE

Clevelanu, o., Feb. 20.-One million
Iollars is the amount believed to be
hidden by Mrs. Cassie l.. Cha & lex.
Collector Of Customs Leach has so
minutely traced thS operations Of this
woman during the last four years that
he is in a position TO know that the
item saved from her many financial
transactions is s1,0OO,OOO in cold cash.
In addition to this sum. the woman
has Just as safely placed $3.50, 900 worth
Of jewels.
Her arrest nipped plans right at a
time when they were about to bloom.
A delay of a few more days would GER
tainly have placed Mrs. Chadwick, her
son, Emil Hoover Chadwick, and her
husband. DR.. Leroy s. Chadwick, in
Brussels, and Mrs. Chadwicks fortune
would then have been s2,0O0,O00.
1t was her desire to make Just one
more deal with s5OO,OOO as the stake.
The action OF United States Attorney
John J. Sullivan in caHsing her arrest
when he did was the checkmate over
which spelled the word defeat. Strange
as it may seem, the men from whom
she wished to get this last 100000
were the most severe in the criticism
of the action Of the United States at
torney, which they, at the time, char
acterized in bitter language as hasty
and ill-advised.
Among the federal authorities the
belief is strong that Mrs. Chadwick
was sanguine of carrying to success
her deep-laid plans up to the time she
made her sensational flight from the
Hollond House in New York city. She
never wavered from her purpose OF
carrying them out until that time, not
withstanding the publicity which th'
suit of Herbert Newton, of Brookline
had precipitated. Had she been sue
cessful in eludIng the secret service
men detailed to watch her, and the
newspaper men who thronged the no
tel where she was stopping, she would
have made her escape to Brussels II
as direct a way as might be. There
she would have settled down to enjoy
the proceeds Of her meteoric careel
among bankers and money lenders.
In the event that Mrs. Chadwick
should escape conviction under thu
present Indictments against her. thI

you, you are entitled to pick up the

But if, on the other hand, you take the

1HE STOMACH IN WINTER.
Hearty Food Puts Extra Strain on
This important Organ.

winter is a little more than half over,
ana the results of its hearty food are
shown in the variable appetite, nausea,
snavying al the pit of the stomach, heart
6,,rn sallow skin, furred tongue. head-i
ache. backache, and sleeplessness. The
stomach has been overworSed, the ner-
vous system is unstrung, the blood is in
had condition, the digestive organs are
tired out.
II is at this season Of the year that
N1,-o-na. the only remedy known that
pives strength to the stomach and di-
gestive organs, is on especial value
Mi-o-na is not a hit-or-miss cure but is
an unusual combination Of remedies that
makes it infallible in restoring health to
the stomach and digestive system. 1t
overcomes any acid condition that may
be present in the stomach and intestines,
soothes and heals the irritated mucous
membrane, has a stimulating effect on
the solar-plexus, and combines peculiar
properties that strengthen the nerves OF
the stomach and puts the whole digestive
system I'm so healthy clean and sweet
state that fermentation a the food cannot
exist. any disease germs in the stomach
will be destroyed. and the digestive sys-
tenn will be so strengthened that it will
extract from the food all the elements
that make solid bone, firm muscle, and
pure blood. It is a guaranteed cure for all
diseases Of the stomach, excepting cancer.
The guarantee on Mi-o-na is given by
one Of our best known drug firms, the
Miller Drug Company who agree. to re-
fund the price, 50 cents, should Mi-o-na
not give perfect satisfaction. Ask them to
show you the guarantee they give with

The first half of the Legislative session

a small fraction Of the bills thus far in
troduced have been disposed Of. With
this. as. with other sessions, only "A small
portion of the total measures introduced

they ere introduced. with the large mass
of proposed legislation now pending IL is
impossible that every member should
give 10 every measure the patient and
painstaking consideration which II merits.
For this reason recourse IS had to the
committee system, whereby a small NUM-
Der are supposed TO give that amount Of
time TO each measure which could not
otherwise be given. Too often, however,
committees hurrledly pass on measures
without giving them that consideration
which the sworn representatives of the
people owe their constituents. The result
is illadvised legislation.
