HOW TILLMAN LOST HIS EYE.

Most people know that Senator
Tillman has lost an eye, but few are
aware how he sustained the injury.
Although his brothers were old enough
to serve in the Confederate army,
Benjamin was schoolboy of when
the civil war began. He knew that
at l6 he must join the Confederate
forces, and his brothers wrote back
from the field entreating him to get
as much education as possible, be-
cause the war might last so long that
he would never again be able. to go to
school. Even at night young Till
man would continue his studies, fire.

A STRONG TICKET.

Anent the democratic state ticket,
the Des Moines Register and Leader,
the recognized spokesman of the
Cummins wing of the republican
party, says:
The ticket presented by the demo-
Gratis is in many respects the strong
est they have offered to the state in
recent years. The same may I'M
doubtedly be said of the platform
on which the candidates stand.
Mr.. Porter is man Of character and
ability. If such comparisons are
not invidious, his friends would put
the emphasis on character. But in
the Legislature he proved himself a
capable and earnest worker. He was
not long in making place for himself
and in securing all the recognition
member of the minority could hope
for. When the investigating commit
tee was appointed, known as the Healy
committee. Mr.. Porter was the minor
ity member. He is a sincere man,
and patriotic citizen of Iowa.
Mr.. Denison is one OF the brilliant
younger men of the state. He was
the candidate of the radicals for first
place ON the ticket. At the latest
Bryan banquet in Des Moines he was
one of the orators, and he attracted
attention second only to that given
to Mr.. Bryan himself. He will be a
power on the stump. The party has
never been in position to make more
vigorous canvass than it is now with
Porter and Denison to take the lead.
The platform, with the single
exception of the reference to the time
honored tariff for revenue only, -
is modern in phraseology and subject
to proper Interpretation, declares for
many desirable reforms. But the
voters of the state will wait for the
Interpretation. For in the end a
platform means just what its supper
tiers mean, and that cannot always be
decided by perusal of its phraseology.
Nine tenths of the democratic de-
clarations republicans find themselves
in accord with.

The state of Florida is going to make
a gigantic effort to reclaim that vast
swamp known as the Everglades, -
some parts of which have never been
traversed by man. The Federal
Government is doing all it can to aid
in the work. Under the direction OF
James O. Wright of the Agricultural
Department, maps are being prepared
and the survey taken so as to learn the
most feasible means of draining land
which has hitherto been regarded as
irreclaimable.

The force of patent examiners in
the Patent Office is composed of tech
nically educated men. AS soon as
they become we'll versed in patent
Office practice, their services are at
once in great demand by the large
manufacturing concerns, and also by
the patent attorneys in the country.
These outside firms and corporations
are willing to pay much better sal
aries than the Government gives
them in their present situations.
The result is that each year there
is a large number of designations.
Last year over fifty skilled examiners
resigned from the service, to enter
into the employ of private concerns,
at large increase of salary. The
Government finds it almost impossible
to keep these places filled and the
result has been the work of the Patent
Office has been seriously handi-
capped and inventors have been put
to great inconvenience by having TO
wait long time before their appli.
cation are passed upon.

"PARSIFAL" SEPT 18th.
Wagner's Beautiful Spectacle Will Open the
Season at the Grand Opera House
on Above Date.

s~-N~
the legendary stories of the Holy
Grail, F." especially as understood in
Wagner's beautiful spectacle of
"Parsifal," its Christian symbolism
and teachers will be readily recognized
and appreciated. One cannot fail to
see in this beautiful work that it was
the intention of the master mind
that conceived it to construct work
so natural and life.like in action. so
human. moral and instructive in its
entire fabric, that it would for ages
endure as forceful and constant re-
minder of its grand and noble
Christian lesson. 1t was Wagner's
last work. 1t was his greatest. 1t
will serve forever as a glorious mOnu-
ment to his immortal genius. If there
was no other work of Wagner's ex-
tant, "Parsifal'' would attest as to
his wonderful powers as philoso-
pher, poet and intellectual giant.
What then must have been the genius
of the man who has left to posterity
more than three hundred works in
poetry, music and prose and covering
the entire field of philosophy, art and
science. And yet such is but slight
part of the history of the wonder of
the ages" Richard Wagner But it
is only of his last and greatest work
we wish to speak, "Parsifal, that
wondrous creation of Wagner's that
has stirred the hearts and minds of
men the world over Its story, from

a more worthy theme upon which to
build a play? Yet the builder has con-
structed so we'll, illustrated the SUBJ
ject in so graphic and interesting a
manner, that it is at once the very
ideal drama from an ethical stand
point, and most thrilling and enter
tanning spectacle as appealing to the
more material senses. One can see
in it's presentation the God-like teach
ing of its author. One can also see in
it magnificent and impressive spec

fore never been witnessed, for it's en-
trancing story and regal environ

necessarily demand more than the

MEDICAL CORPS BILL PASSED.
Mr.. Carmack Discusses the Rate Cues
ton in the Senate.

Upon the close of Mr. Ciay's speech in
the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr. Car
mack and Mr.. Newlands spoke on railroad
rate legislation after which a bill was
passed providing for the reorganization of
the medical department of the army by au-
thorizing the appointment OF officers to take
the place OF contract surgeons.
Mr.. Hale criticised the military medical
bill as showing a tendency to increase the
army. which, he said, was not desirable
in q time of peace.
When the big stick keeps company with
the pitchfork surely the halcyon days of
politicians have come" said Mr.. Carmack
when he took the floor to speak on the rate
bill. He declared that the bill was the
legitimate outcome of democratic demands
and. calling attention to the fact that the
republican platform had made no demand
for legislation. said the democratic party
had triumphed even In its defeat AS for
himself he was content to stand beside
the senator from South Carolina as 1.-The
guide. counselor and friend of the admin
istration.'
He then entered into an argument to
show the necessity for railroad legislation.
and said he knew of no better way OF pro-
viding the necessary restraints upon the
roads than through a commission.
Referring to the lack of agreement In the
opinion that 1t is better than it will be
after amendment. He did not consider
court review provision essential.
Mr.. Newlands took issue with some of
the statements made on Wednesday by Mr..
Knox the subject of appeal to the courts,
declaring that there was nothing In the
bill either to prevent such an appeal or
to limit the powers Of the courts In the mat
ter Of injunction. He felt disposed to exer-
else great caution in the matter OF re-
view. I'VE have never seen the time when

About six miles outside the city limits
Is one of the most notable relics of the pre-
historic races to be found In Mexico-the
pyramid OF Cholula, measuring eco feet on
one side and 1000 on the other, and rising
III feet above the surrounding plain. It
covers about twenty acres. Two smaller
pyramids stand nearby. All three of them
arc built of adobe brick and, according to
Psychologists, are several thousand years
old The date and reason for their origin
are unknown and have been the subject OF
controversy for centuries. They were erect
cd by an unknown race that vanished long
before the Toltecs and even before the sto-
ries of tradition begin. They appear TO
have been used for worship by all the sue
cessive civilization that have made this
part of Mexico scene of activity. and must
have possessed much religious significance.
Upon the summit Of the great pyramid
when the Spaniards came stood q
sumptuous temple to Quetzacoau.
the god of the air. and the most
powerful of the Aztec diyfnities. It was
promptly torn down and replaced by q
chapel to the holy virgin. which still
stands. Surrounding the pyramid as late as
