The physician plucked more than 35 quills from the legs of each man. but no serious re- suits are expected. unless blood pois- oning sets in.
 As soon as the two young farmers came upon the porcupines. just be- fore dusk, they picked up clubs and started for the animals. The hedge hogs. as they are called hereabouts. jabbed their needle-pointed Quilla Into the farmers legs. The young men responded with a short, but sharp attack with their clubs, but the hedge hogs proved to have the better weapon and carried the day Although one of them was left stretched out on the ground. the other retreated trium- phantly and in good order, master of the situation. while the two agricul- turists limpcd home and out of harms way as speedily as possible.-N.

The curious are looking forward to the annual auction of articles accum- ulated !n the dead letter division of the postoffice department, which will begin on the 17th of this month, thus giving bidder the chance of secur- ing Christmas presents for friends at price somewhat lower than that for which the same articles could be pur- chased at store. Last year the pro ceeds os the sale amounted to ST. O54.03. while the money taken out of letters amounted to $17,029. These two amounts were covered into the treasury. About five years ago some of the clerks. whose duties consisted of sorting and cataloging the articles to be sold, conceived plan to buy valuable articles at ridiculously low prices. A package containing some cheap articles and perhaps valuable watch or ring was prepared and cata- logued as two neckties, a damaged shirt, etc. The clerk would then make note of the number of the package and when that package came up for sale, the clerk or one of his friends would bid it in for little or nothing compared with the value. In spectors made an investigation and several clerksslost their positions. An order was then issued that "etc" should not be used In the future and that the contents of each package should be accurately described. This year G,531 packages of miscellaneous articles, 1,2S9 of books and 439 of jewerly are to be sold, which com prise alIaost everything from a baby rattle to a diamond ring.

News has been received at the war department of the recent fight in Leyte, in the Philippines, in which the American troops were badly cut mp by an outfit of Bolo men. This is one of the livliest fights that the war de pertinent has had to record in the past two years. The insurgents were not really insurrectors at all, but rath- CT stronger band than usual of the Ladrones who infest many of the isl ands. Some of them were armed with guns, but all had the deadly bolos. in the use Of which the natives are very expert They fired volley at the troops and then rushed them with the sword, killing five before they were finally dispersed. Several of the sol diers who escaped death were badly injured, but the encounter is one which is not likely to be repeated again very soon. The Puljanes, the robber organization which infested the island of Samar, has been effect ually broken up, and all the informa- tion that now comes to the war de partment indicates that the Philip pines have entered an era of com paratiye peace combined with fair amount of prosperity.

Many bills are being introduced in congress every day, but there are only a few of them of real national inter- est. One of the most important and which stards possibility of passing at the present session. is that by rep resentative Perkins of New York, embodying the ideas of the president on the inheritance tax. This oil is not very drastic. but is drawn with an idea of withstanding the scrutiny of the supreme court. It provides for a tax on all iesacies of s25.OOO or over. The amount assessed varies with the closenese of kin between the testator and legatee. In case of a direct descendant. a brother, sister. husband or father. the tax will be only I5 cents in every s1OO on the minimum. amout named, this taX in- creases as the consangulnity dimlnisIl- es. and in the case of a legacy to strangers it amounts to $500 in every s100. On the other hand there is a sliding scale. which increases the tax ation as the legacy increases. SO that in the case of legacies of s30.OCo.UOo or over the tax would amount to one quarter of the bequest itself. Pro vision for the collection of the tax is made through the bureau of internal revenue. In the case of estates over s1.OO0OO in value. the executors are given three years. if desired. in which to settle the taxes The deferred taxes will draw interest at the rate of q per cent. but the object of the delay is to prevent sacrificing real estate or securities by throwing . large amount immediately on the market- The question of an income tax has not ret been broeched- but it is understood that . blII to this end win be intro dvcpd .

Everareens Need Protection.


 All evergreens suffer in winter from warm weather and drying winds, which cause their leaves to evaporate moisture faster than it can be supplied by the roots, which may be in frozen ground. The yellow color of ever. greens in winter is usually sign of distress, and bronzing is sign of i'm perfect hardness or of willingness to drop the leaves for while in order to withstand the winter. The best way to protect rare and costly ever greens is to plant them behind a windbreak or amid group of other trees. The prevailing winter wind is usually from the northwest. All conf. fers, whether hardy or not. are glad to be mulcted with eight or ten inches of leaves or coarse manure.-Garden Magazine.

COMMITTEE IN DOUBT.
Confused as to Status of the Coin Given
by Rockefeller.

At relief headquarters there seems to
be some confusion as to the status of
the subscriptions made for the relief
Of San Francisco by the Standard Oil
Company and John D. Rockefeller. The
understanding there is that the corr
poration and Rockefeller each contrib
uted 100000. But this money did not
come directly to the committee.
It is said that the subscriptions came
directly to E. S. Pillsbury, Standard
Oil attorney on the Pacific Coast, who
disbursed the money on behalf of the
corporation and John D. Rockefeller.
OF the amounts Pi1lsbury turned over
about $4,000 to the relief committee.
During the early days of relief work
Standard Oil also contributed large
amount Of gasoline and oil. For these
supplies the corporation put in a claim
for s4540.45, but afterward donated it
to the relief fund
1t is understood that this s454o.45
was deducted from the original dona-
tions OF 100000.

~r. PETERSBURG. Aug. 4. Ais
> a. m-St. Petersburg was in
\ darkness for a time tonight. The
employees of the electric lighting
plants, always the earliest barometric
record of political conditions, ceased
work during the afternoon in obedience
to a call for general strike, and it
was not until early this morning that
sailors of the technical corps succeed
ed in restoring the lighting service.
This call already has been obeyed by
2o, 900 factory hands in the capital. 1t
will be impossible, how ever, to predict
the success of this universal political
strike until Monday, as the workmen in
St Petersburg and the provinces have
two holidays. Saturday, which is the
fete day of the Dowager Empress and
a great religious feast, and their reg
ular holiday of Sunday.
The only other available index to
the situation is the railroads. Up to 2

BRYAN CASTS OFF PoPULIsTs.
Nebraskan Breaks With His Allies of
Former Campaigns.


LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 3.-William. J.
Bryan has broken away completely
from his political allies OF the cam
paigns OF 1896 and lsoo---the members
OF the Populist party. This action was
taken by proxy. but 1t has been done
by Mr.. Bryan's closest personal and
political friends here, and there is no
likelihod that he will oppose their de-
cree.
Two years ago the fusion nomina-
tion for Governor was given to Pop
ulist. George W. Berge. an attorney Of
Lincoln. Berge was defeated by but a
few thousand votes, and he is again a
candidate for nomination and is seek
ing Democratic support. Strong DEM
ocratic opposition TO his aspirations
have sprung up In Lincoln.
Mayor Frank W. Brown, speaking
for scores of leading Democrats with
whom he has discussed the situation,
declared today that the Democrats Of
the State are not for Berge. He as
serted that they were for Democrat
only and that Berge could not have the
support Of the Bryan Democrats.

In the meantime the fate of the
Stolypin Cabinet sways in the balance
and Russia Is upon the verge of dis
orders " hich may lead either to the
reign of the military or the proleteriat.
It can be said definitely that the steps
toward a dictatorship may be taken
Sunday or Monday by the nomination of
Grand Duke Nicholas to the chief COM
mand of all the troops in Russia. This
would virtually place him in control of
ALI the disturbed districts of the empire
where martial law has been proclaimed.
This matter was a subject of earnest
discussion during the interview be-
tween the Emperor and Premier Stoly-
pin yesterday, from which the Premier
returned in greatly vexed state of
mind.
The revolutionists at Sveaborg and
Cronstadt and the mutiny on board the
cruiser Pamyat Azova gave the tone to
the conversation between his Majesty
and the Premier. These events, al
though they have all ended fortunately,
apparently have left strong impress
sion upon the mind of the Emperor
