The police have been making

the bomb explosion in St. Peters
church at Rome Sunday, but so
far without success. Suspicion,
however, points to the same indi-

in the cafe on November IA.
Commenting on the outrage
the Osservatore Romano says:
"The explosion of bomb in

there has never been the least at

vINDIcATEs sIRE's NAME.
Last of Bankers 100000 Debts
Paid Off in Ten Years by
Loyal Son.

Des Moines, Ia.-In vindication of his
fathers name James G. Whitney, of
Atlantic, completed liquidating an in
debtedness of 100000. His had been a
labor of love extending over period
of ten years.
During the financial stress of 1885
SO his father, Franklin H. Whitney, be-
came a bankrupt and died, and the
Bank of Atlantic, which he owned. went
into the hands of receiver and the
500 900 which has just been repaid TO
the creditors was realized by his good
management of the wrecked estate.
Franklin H. Whitney was the founder
of the city of Atlantic. He laid out the
town site and established the National
Bank of Atlantic, which he subsequent
ly converted into private institution.
He became a millionaire. Eventually
he speculated too heavily in Kansas
City and Birmingham (Ala.) real estate
and his b,siness collapsed. The shock
killed him.
1t was not believed his estate would
pay so cents on the dollar. but his son
took a solemn vow to see that no cred
itor lost a cent, and he has kept his
word to the letter.

Rainfall and Tree Growth.

A report has recently been published
which shows how closely the growth
of trees is dependent upon rainfall. Not
only was this seen in the case of one
and two-year-old trees, but in an inves.
tigation extending over period Of
twelve years. during which time the
annual rings of growth were carefully
examined. With an annual precipita-
tion of from thirty to thirty-five inches
width of ring was produced varying
from IL to .15 inch. II, on the other
hand. there was either an unusually
large or small rainfall in any given
year this was followed by CORE
spending tree growth In the following
year.-Harper's Weekly.

INDIAN WEDDING IN COURT
Bride Pays the Fee When the Bride
groom Fails to Produce
the Cash.

Sioux. Falls, S. D.-Capt. Seth Bull
lock, personal friend of President Roose-
welt and United States marshal for
South Dakota, acted as master of cere-
monies at an Indian wedding.
The principals in the wedding were
David Charging, a Sioux warrior be-
longing on the Pine Ridge reservation.
and Nellie Little Bird, belle of the
Pine Ridge reservation tribe of Sioux
Indians. The bride is not yet 16 years
of age, while the bridegroom has not
attained his majority. The ceremony
was performed in the federal courtroom
in this city at the conclusion of ses-
sion of court and is the only instance in
the history of South Dakota in which an
Indian couple was married in federal
courtroom. The ceremony was per-
formed by Judge Wheelock.
The bridegroom was financially en-
barrassed and the bride was required to
pay the fee charged for marriage Ii
cense. The other expenses of the we'd
ding were paid from a fund contributed
by witnesses attending United States
court.
A large number of the society women
of Sioux Falls were interested specta-
tors at the wedding.

UNIQUE DISCOVERY.
CHANCE FINDING OF POTASSIUM
SUBSTANCE ON sEAwEED.
California Chemist Picks Up Kelp
Containing Deposits Strong
IN the Preservativs
Element.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Upon the chance
which led a chemist OF an investiga-
tive turn of mind almost idly to an
alyze a small lump OF sediment cling
ing to a floating bit of seaweed cast
up by the high tide on the beach at
San Diego. may hang the results of
the most important of the food supply
of the world.
David Moore Balch is the chemists
name and the discovery through an
experiment in his laboratory 2 few
weeks ago may provide substitute
for the falling nitrate supply Of the
saltpeter beds of Chile.
The aged savant happened to be
taking his early constitutional upon
the sand, following one of the early
eqJinoxial storms. At his fee- he no.
ticed a mass of seaweed torn from It's
mooring upon the submerged rocks
and cast upon the shore.
Balch Immediately recognized the
weed as species of kelp, broad leaf
fucoid seaweed. To 1t already had clus-
tered and crystallized in the sun de-
posits of what he naturally supposed
to be simple salt from the evaporated
sea water.
The deposits incrusted on the leaves
OF the kelp SO attracted Balch that he
carried the seaweed back with him to
his laboratory. There to his utter
surprise, he discovered that in place
of the simple salt of sodium the sub
stance was in reality rich in potas-
5ium.
But it remained for George H. May
nard, first vice president of the Amer
lean Institute of Mining Engineer
ing. to recognize the full commercial
value of the discovery.
Mr.. Maynard. who is well known in
Los Angeles, learned of Balch's dis
covery during a visit to Coronado.
Necessary steps were Immediately
taken to protect themselves in the
processes for the extraction of the val
liable salts and sulphates, and the
three associated themselves in a part
nership to exploit their valuable dis
covery.

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing Is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it is for
whisky or tobacco fiend to break of,
except that the coffee user can quit cof-
fee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling of loss of the
morning beverage, for when Postum l.,
well boiled and served with cream, 1t
Is really better in point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur 1t
Is like the flavor of fine Java.
A great transformation takes place in
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left OFF and Postum Food
Coffee used, for the reason that the pol
son to the nerves has been discontinued
and In its place is taken a liquid that
contains the most powerful elements Of
nourishment
1T is easy to make this test and prove
these statements by changing from cof-
Zee to Postum Food Coffee.

DEMAND FOR CEMENT.
Used for Buildings, Sidewalks, Bridges,
Railway Construction and

The steady increase in the demand
for cement is one of the prominent fea-
lures of the industrial world. Although
the number of cement works is greater
every year and although the produc
ton has been multiplied many times
over recently, the demand continues
to outrun the supply. and there is rea-
son to believe that this state of affairs
will continue for number of years.
One of the sources of the demand for
cement is found in the irrigation works
of the United States government, and
an immense amount of '1iquid stone"
is required for the building of the great
dams now building or sOon to be built
across western streams.
The railroads of the country arc also
increasing their demand ior cement.
which is found to be the best possible
material not only for bridge abut-
ments. but also in many cases for
bridges, viaducts and culverts. The
rapid improvement of the road beds of
American railways. now in progress,
has called for a vast quantity of ce-
ment, and the railway companies have
not been able to get the material as
fast as 1t is needed.
Cement has also been found to be
tHe DtSL DO5SlDlt hldttlldl lOT Slut-
walks, and it is rapidly supplanting
brick, stone and wood for this purpose.
1t is also used almost exclusively for
the footings or foundations of heavy
walls.
Closely connected with the increased
demand for cement is the very rapid
rise in the price of lumber. The sup
ply of timber suitable for building pur.
poses in the United States is rapidly
diminishing. while the use of concrete
for small as well as large buildings is
increasing very rapidly.
One of the largest cement works in
the country is already located in the
Arkansas valley, and the supply of this
material is practically illimitable The
development of the cement industry in
Colorado to many times its present
proportions is assured.-Pueblo Chief
