EACH GAINS OTHERS TRAITS
Husband and Wife After Long Mar ried Life Begin to Show
 Facial Resemblance.

It is matter of common knowledgs that when a husband and wife have lived together for long period they rot only acquire the same tricks of voice and manner. but they show a strong facial resemblance. so that they might easily be taken for brother and sister. Almost every one has al least one such instance arrong his acauaint. snces. But it is perhaps a less we'll known fact that a similar resemblance often results from a mistress and serv. ant being associated together for . long period of years Added to the fact of constant nearness there is usualIv on the part of the servant a desire to initiate the voice and manner of the mistress she So much admires. And this often extends to the facial re- semblance- There are in a small pro- vinCial town of New England twc most unusual instances of this resem- blanee- Two maiden ladies lived there. each of whom has been attended for the greater part of so years by q woman who is mo-e a companion than 2 servant In both cases the women have become so aston:shinsly like their mislresses that they are often mis- taken for them And their voices over the telephone are % exactly alike that the friends Of both ladies have siven up this means of communicafiou vith them because Of the enbarrassiux pis- takes which conxtanfbrssulfadfsun q

toward making success of the social season.
 It is conceded by authorities on beauty that the American girl sur passes any of her foreign sisters in that respect, and this granted, it is only natural that Washington, the na- tion's capital. should be the mecca of the most beautiful and most delight full women in the world. Through the meeting of famous personages, from all over the world, with American la dies at the capital the beauty of our women has become known in every corner of the earth
 Just recently has Washington dis tinguished itself as social center. and 1t has of late years begun to rival even New York as the winter home of the nation elite. Congress brings many brilliant people to Washin gton. This attraction proves to many others too enticing to be resisted with the consequence that very soon the city will be recognized as the most popular winter resort of the society dame and damsel, in the world. Many society men, also. who have previously found New York their most desirable home, are now to be seen at the capitals big social functions.
 Among the shining lights of the so- cial season at Washington are Miss Hildegarde McKenna, Miss Pansy Bloomer, Miss Diana Morgan Hill Miss Grace Peters, Miss Evelyn Walsh. Miss Israel and Miss Anita Poor.
 Miss Evelyn Walsh possesses the distinction of being the leading de- butante of the season in the city, and also the most gifted one by both na- ture and fortune. Although only IT,. she has developed great personal

Complaints are continually coming rom society danes of Washington that tell of the lack of desirable men. One statesman in speaking of the want in this line declares that the req son why the need is so greatly felt is because the women att the national capital so far surpass the men in both numbers and quality that the males actually seem undesirable and insigni- ficant in comparison. At no place in the country can one find such creaIn of society as is to be seen at Wash ington The national capital abounds in women of unusual charms and pos sessing all the requirements which go

SEASONS CHANGED BY FIRE Trees That Were Barely Scorched in Blaze Put Out New Blooms
 Late in Fall

At Chansee-sur-Ma France, last September, fire which ragged on one side of the village made clean sweep of everything before it in the way of buildings and only paused when there was nothing to lick up except the or chards that once formed a hedge be- tween the homesteads and the open country. Even then it was hardly sat- isfied, for it greedily devoured the first two ranks of apple and pear trees, leaving nothing but cinders; the next three rows. though very scorched, were not quite destroyed, the farthest away being naturally the least af- fected. Some of the boughs escaped all hurt and it was with these that the curious phenomenon was observed which merits attention A second towering commenced at once and by the end of October all the trees farth- est from the scene of the fire were in full bloom, as if called to renewed life by the fresh voice of May, instead of October. At another point the flames had swept close to large lilac tree and this, as we'll as some plum trees, bewildered by what must have seemed to it sudden return of summer, put on once more it's bridal robes. It must be mentioned that the fire only lasted four hours. It will be noticed, there fore, that there was no resemblance between this sudden blast of heat and the ordinary gradual forcing to which plants are subjected

DRUGS LIKELY TO ADVANCE
Many Plants That Once Grew Wild Are Disappearing with March
 of Civilization.

Dealers in American drugs are much alarmed at the scarcity and high price of most of the vegetable drugs indi- genous to this country which have de- veloped during the present year. Many of the drugs in chief demand have advanced from 100 to 300 per cent in price and the suply of all is said to be small. Some of the drugs most af- fected by these conditions are golden seal seenga root ginseng wild cherry bark, white pine bark. elder flowers. sarasaparilla root, sassafras and at least dozen others of less impor- tance. Golden seal in particular has advanced since January from "A cents to $1.5O and senega root from 821t cents to $1.15. In 1899 senega root was selling at "A cents. White pine bark has gone up ill two years from 2h to AZ cents. The plants from which these drugs are gathered grow wild and are said to be gradually dis appearing with the march of civiliza. uon and the settlement of the coun- try. No steps have been taken to safe- guard the supply and the plants arc gradually being exterminated. It is feared that this country will soon be in the same position as Germany and other countries of Europe as produc- CTS of vegetable drugs. Formerly Ger many was a great producer of herbs and parks. but now these drugs are gathered chiefly in the wilds of Hun gary. Drug dealers say the result will be heavy advance in the prices of many of the commoEer and more pop- uiar medicines.

TWO TO THE PEHITEETIARY
RE CHARGEp WIZ BURGLARY OF
ROCK ISLAND CARS CONVICTED.
One Took Slab OF Bacon the Other II
Suits OF UnderweaE-The Grist Of the
Civil Cases, and One Divorce was
Granted

At the April session Of the district
court for Sherman county, Harry
Downey, coloUed, and John Eldeliriys
a Bohemian, who were arraigned under
the charge Of burglarizing Rock Island
cars in GOOdland yards, were convicted
and sentenced to the psnitentiary.
Downey was bound over to the district
court last week in Justice FlOyd's court.
Special Detective Quinn, for the Rock
Island, swore out the complaint charg-
ing Downey with breaking a seal on q
freight car and stealing goods, which
afterward were discovered to be IN
derwear.
The same charge was placed against
EIdeliriya, who, in his hunger, stole a
side of bacon. He plead guilty before
the court and hence no jury trial was
necessary. It is wrong to steal, but it
is an unjust corporation law that puts
young man IN the penitentiary from
one to seven years-at the discretion OF
the board Of pardOns-fOr stealing to
appease his hunger. Attorney Murphy
was counsel for Eldeliriya.
Downey plead not guilty to the charge
lodged against him. A jury was inn
paneled, which, after hearing the evid-
D0wney was defended by Attorney
John Hartzler. Sheriff Bradley viii

The case of Minnie Forster versus
Edward Forster, divorce, was brought
up again before Judge Smith, and in
default by defendant a decree Of d.
vOrce was granted to take effect after
October 4, 1905. The custody of the
children was given to the plaintiff, and
the defendant was also barred from in
terest in certain property Of the plaintiff.
Gertrude Butler, whose husband was
accidentally killed while doing duty as
hOstler in the GoOdland yards about q
year ago, has brought a damage suit
against the Rock Island. It was called
for trial, and was then taken from the
district court to the United States court,

dOcketed cases had to do with foreclOs-
