HUNTED UMBRELLA
Did Mclean County Couple While
Carrying II Over Them in
Making the Search.

Island. KY, Sept. pa few days
ago Mr.. Medders and wife were re-
turning from Island to their home in
the country. When several miles
from town they missed their UNI
brella. They searched all through
their buggy without finding the
missing article. They then turned
back toward town and were search
ing along the highway to see if they
could find it, supposing that it had
dropped from the buggy. They had
about despaired of finding it when
they were overtaken by a stranger
who. seeing that they appeared to
be hunting for something, asked
them what they had lost. and thev
replied that they had lost an UNI
brella. He asked them what they
called that which Mrs. Medders was
holding over them. They were rid
ing in an open buggy and Mrs. Med
ders had been carrying the umbrella
over them ever since they had left
town. Mrs. Medders blames Mr..
Medders for not looking up while he
was hunting for the umbrella and
Mr.. Medders says his wife certainly
ought to have known that she was
carrying it. The joke is on both of
them and both are being "teased"
very much by their friends, but they
take it good naturedly, and seem to
get as much enjoyment out of the
joke as their friends.

SUPPOSEDLY DEAD,
Woman Speaks 10 Those
About Her.
Preparations For Burial Being
Made When She Revived -CauS-
ed IntenSe Excitement.

GlasgoW, Ky, Sept. %. The peo-
pie living in the western part of the
town are very much excited over the
strange condition Of Mrs. George
Burgess. who, with her husband
- owed here from Etoile some five
months ago.
Since locating here Mrs. Burgess
became afflicted with a malady said
to be consumption, and for several
days had been growing worse. Yes
terday it was given out that she
would not live during the day. She
sank gradually all day until II o'clock
last night. when she seemingly pas
sed away. Several neighbor women
were called in and the body was laid
out preparatory TO dressing for bur
ial. While waiting for the burial
robe. something like thirty-five min
utes from the time the woman had
died. she surprised all present by
moving. An investigation revealed
the fact that she was breathing.
From the time she was thought to
be- dead until she moved there were
no noticeable signs of life. Respira-
Son and heart action had both ceas-
ed. and those who closed her eyes
handled her body said that she was
both cold and rigid.
After those present had slightly
recovered from their surprise re-
storatives were applied. and in a
short time she had rallied sufficient
ly to talk.
Up to this time she is still alive,
though her condition is very critical
and her death is expected at any
time.
To those who helped to revive her
she said: 1t takes long time to
die"

New Jury Law.

Under the new law, the Judge is
required to draw names Of jurors
from the wheel. instead of calling
bystanders when the regular num-
Der is exhausted in making up the
grand and petit jurors for Circuit
Court. Heretofore it has been an
easy matter to secure enough men
from those hanging around the
court house. but now the Sheriff
must summon those whose names
are drawn from the wheel. In this
way professional jurors - that is
those who hang around in hopes of
being called, are put out of "busi-
ness" While it requires much
more work for the Sheriff, yet the
law is a good one.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catar-
rah to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrah Cure,

tional cure on 1.-The market. 1t is

To Keep Cabta &c.

An excellent way to keep cabbages
is to put them close together, roots
in the ground, and cover them, SO
as to protect against ram, first plac-
ing salt, hay or straw over the
heads. BY this plan the cabbages
will keep until late in the spring,
as the stalks will take root and
throw out sprouts or greens after
the heads are gone. BY burying the
Steads with the roots up, the frost
prevents their use, and when the
frost leaves them the ground is
damp and the heads rot. 1t will be
found of advantage to store cabbage
with the roots in the ground. as
stated, if for no other purpose than
to secure the early greens.

TRYING TO SAVE SHEPARD.

The money portions Of the sentence
have been paid but, though the killing
occurred last April, Shepard has spent
no time IN jail. If he was given a fair

to indicate the contrary, there is no
reason why the judgment of the court
should not be carried out. Our state

We have often heard it stated, in de-

THE METRIC SYSTEM.

The views expressed by various local
authorities as to the value of the metric
systeT', as compared with the hybrid
system now in use, indicates an almost
universal agreement that a change
would be desirable. The chief STUN
bling block is the confusion that would
arise in the process of change, and the
dimculty of getting the commercial
and educational world to take con-
certed action looking to the adoption Cf
the more modern standards.
There is no doubt but that computa-
ton in decimals, as provided for by the
metric standards, would simplify cal
culation and clerical work in every de-
partment of life. The difference is il
Illustrated by the complexity Of trans
actions in bushels and pounds of grain.
Oats and wheat and barley and millet.
for instance, have varying weights for
the bushel. Payments for grain, there
fore, involve computations i'm units and
fractions, where the metric method
would require only the hundreds and
tenths as a basis for payment So in
gallons, in yards, in acres and all the
other English standards; the calcula-
lions in each case require a knowledge
of complicated tables, then a reduc-
ton to units and fractions, and finally
multiplication of fractional figures. The
loss of time through such mathemat-
zeal difficulties, and the errors which
arise from them, cannot be measured.
Certainly the time lost by the English
standard is enormous and costly.
Our monetary system shows the sim
plicity of the metric standard, and IT
seems to be only a question of time
when the necessity for adoption of the
decimal system will compel its adop-
ton, despite the natural conservatism
Of the Anglo-Saxon, which makes him
slow to change even when he sees its
advantages.

GAMBLING TERRITORIES.

Delegate Mark Smith of Arizona was
very careful to say in his remarks on
the bill to prohibit gambling in Ari-
IONA, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Indian
Territory and Alaska that he did not
appear as the representative of the
gambling interests, but that he stood
for fair play. Mr.. Smith thought the
act should be amended so as to pro-
hibit gambling in all the territory I'M
der the direct control of the govern
ment. This would include the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and the Hawaiian
Islands and the canal strip.
Mr.. Smiths proposition was d per-
fectly fair one, and It should have been
incorporated in the bill which, under
a suspension of the rules. was passed
by the house. The Arizona delegate
suggested to Representative Littlefeld
Of Maine, who led the fight for the bill,
that it would be well for him to set his
own house in order. He cited the fact
that in spite of the prohibition law in
Maine there are numerous saloons in
the principal cities Of the state.
Littlefield lost his temper completely
under Smiths prodding, and intimated
that the delegate was not a gentle
man. All of which was very important
and had a direct bearing on the ques-
ton at issue-if you don't care what
you say. The argument reflected no
credit on Mr.. Littlefeld, though 1t
must be admitted that law enforce
ment, or lack Of it, in Maine, has
mighty little to do with gambling in
Arizona.
Nobody will dispute the wisdom of
the anti-gambling act. The surprising
thing is that there are not already
laws on the subject for the territories.
Gambling should be prohibited. and
the penalty proposed, a fine of So, 900
and Imprisonment for one year, is not
too great for the offense. Nevertheless.
it seems hardly fair to permit the res
idents of part Of the territory con-
trolled by the government to gamble
freely and openly and refuse that priv
ilege to others. All should stand on
exactly the same footing. If gambling
is wrong in Arizona it is also wrong in
the Philippines, in Porto Rico, in the
Hawaiian Islands.
Perhaps, as Mr.. Smith said, the real
purpose of the bill is to stir up in Ari-
IONA d sentiment in favor of Joint
statehood with New Mexico.
