MONEY DID NOT
INFLUENCE HIM
[By Associated Press. ]

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, April 13.
The chief event of Founders day
at the University of Virginia was the
address of William J. Bryan. He
was greeted by large audience, and
spoke for two hours. He discussed
Thomas Jefferson and his political
philosophy. Jefferson for his day
was rich man, but money did not
color his views of government nor de-
stroy his sympathy with the common
people. Bryan avoided all personal
illusions. He referred to the Cali
fornia school case, he said, only to
show that the Jeffersonian way of
settling it would have been to leave
it with the people of California.
Byran left for Washington,

is that government ownership is a
failure wherever it exists. The DEM
ocratic party must demand from rail-
road presidents complete obedience
TO the statutes. They must be made
to realize they are the servants not
the masters of the people"

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-Fed-
eral inspectors suspended for seventy
FIVE days the license OF Captain Boyd.
who allowed the steamer Corona to
run on the rocks in Humboldt Bay
last March, causing loss to the own
ers OF 5000, 1000. Boyd tried to lay
the blame on the quartermaster, who
he accused OF putting the helm the
wrong way. A more severe sentence
would have been imposed but for the
fact that Boyd's license expires In

A party of mining men consisting
of j. J. McSorley, one OF the promi-
nent mining men of Tonopah; W. w.
Booth, proprietor of the Daily Bo-
nanza; George B. Thatcher, law part
ner of Congressman George A. Bart
lett. and James Donovan, mining
man, chartered an automobile the
early part OF the week and drove to
Wonder to inspect the various min
ing properties of that camp
The drive was uneventful until the
Wonder district was reached and
then every member of the party ex-
pressed surprise at the marvellous ac-
tivity of the camp.
There is no doubt about It, said
Mr.. Booth, Wonder is the coming
great mining camp of the state.
Everything points to it. Every day
discoveries are made that put the
discoveries OF the day before into the
shade. People are pouring into the
camp from all four quarters of the
globe and transportation facilities of
those who operate the stage and auto
mobile lines are taxed to the utmost.
In fact, the transportation facilities
are entirely inadequate 1t would not
surprise me to learn that over 1000

tween Fallon and Wonder hauling

DUCK WISDOM.

Good weather for young ducks" is
an old saying applied to wet days
There is not one bit of truth in it,
Nothing can be worse for them than a
rainy day. The silly things will stand
with open mouth gazing upward unnl
they drown.
During rainy period they should
be confined in a dry, room coop. Be
sure that they have plenty of dry chan
to nestle down in during the night
Crowding them in damp quarters
will cause rheumatism and other trou-
bles.
1t is very satisfactory to rear ducks
in a pen provided it is large enough.
II many are crowded together in a
small place they are sure to become
stunted in their growth.
1t is not wise to allow the ducklings
with other young poultry. The duck
lings will gobble up most of the feed,
pollute the drinking water and make
themselves anything but a pleasure
to have around-Our Country.

PACKING EGGS

How TO properly pack eggs Is al
this writing the subject Of much dis
cussIon. and various are the plans pro
Dosed. Some pack them in bran Just
as they are laid; others By wrapping
each egg in paper and then placing
in bran; yet others by using paste
board boxes, so divided that each egg
has a single apartment, in which II
is placed after being wrapped in paper
or cotton; bran or sawdust being also
used. other plans, even more In
gepious are suggested, and for some
years we had faith in one plan which
we practiced, Almost any plan wnich
gives ordinary protection to the egs'
will do for packing, provided the jour
ney is not a long one. and some OF
them will hatch, while others will not,
no matter how fresh they may have
been when started. But never yet

eggs could be safely sent, and the
faithful trial of the most approved
ones has forced this belief. The shak'

matter in what shape they may De

completely skeptical on the shipment

raisers against making any attempts
to secure games by this means we

NEGRO'S DOG
FLAGS A TRAIN
"SAYS SOMETHING"
WHEN HE LEARNS FACT.

In Muskogee, says the Kansas City
Journal, a negro who drives the street
sweeper has fine bird dog, which
walks ahead of the sweeper at night
and carries lighted lantern in his
me eth. The other night as he was
crossing the railroad track he stopped
a minute to look back, and see If the
sweeper was coming. Being dog of
happy disposition he wagged his tail,
and incidentally his head wagged at
the same time. The switching crew
saw the light moving, and stopped
their train. 1t moved again and they
started, and this see-saw motion was
kept up for some time, until the engi-
neer was exhausted in operating his
reverse lever. He jumped off and ran
back to see what the signals meant,
and when he saw the caues of 1t he
said something. 1t is needless to say
that after this he will work only on
signals that are given higher from the
ground,

MEERSCHAUM IS
GIVING OUT
WORLDS SUPPLY, so FAR AS
KNOWN, PRACTICALLY
EXHAUSTED.

According to reports from Germany
the manufacturers of meerschaum
pipes and cigar holders are passing
through serious crisis on account of
their being unable to secure sufhc-
lent amount of raw material, and for
the trifing quantities they do obtain,
they are forced to pay greatly IN
creased price, the advance being about
100 per cent. in the last three years.
Practically all known deposits OF
meerschaum has been exhausted, 1t
being found now only in the mines OF
Eski-Schehir, in Asia-Minor, and there
the output is very small and decreas'
ing.
Agents of American and English
houses having secured control OF this
entire output, the German manufac
turers are contemplating going out OF

TWO POPULAR
BEVERAGES
INCREASE IN USE OF
CHOCOLATE AND COCOA
GAINING VERY RAPID
LY ON THE TEA
AND COFFEE.

The use of these two beverages
cocoa and chocolate), is increasing
rapidly in this country. We are
snending about $12,OOO,OOO year for
cocao. which is the raw product from
which chocolate and cocoa are OBJ
tanned. The importations of this arti-
Gle have increased 200 per cent. during
the last ten years, while those of COT
fee have increased only 80 per cent.
and tea has fallen off fourteen per
cent. At the present time, it is re-
ported. cocoa is gaining on its rivals
more rapidly than ever.
Most of the cocoa imported into the
United States comes from Brazil, the
British West Indies and other West
Indian Islands.
According to What to Eat, it is dur
ing the last three years that the in
crease in cocoa importations has been
most marked. Manufacturers have
been forced to make addition after adj
dition to the capacity of their plants,
to increase their working forces to
enormous proportions, and still it has
been almost impossible for them to
fill all orders on time.
Importers of raw products from the
tropics are doing the most rushing
business of their lives, and importers
of prepared cocoas from Europe must
get busy to keep from being trampeld
under foot by American enterprise in
feeding the chocolate tooth" Uncle
Sam has cut.
The cocoa bean possesses more nj
trogen than wheat -four, and about
twenty times as,much fatty matter as
wheat flour. One-half of the weight
of cocoa butter and one-half starch.
In Central America cocoa consti-
tutes the principal ration employed by
river expeditions; in South America
cocoa and maize cakes, comprising a
large amount of nourishment in very
small bulk, are used as food for trav-
elers on long overland trips. A case
is recorded of a man who attained the
age of 100 years who ate nothing but
chocolate and biscuit for thirty years.

DISCOVERS VAST LAKE
UNDER MINNEAPOLIS
OFFICIALS KEEP MATTER A Sc
cRET FOR clTY'S SAKE
WORK FIVE YEARS TO
AVERT GREAT HID
DEN DANGERS.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 1.-THE city
is now safe as IL its foundations we're
laid on the eternal rock" is the state
ment made tonight by the City Engl'
neer in response to inquiries as to
DEVELOPMENTS in the work of harness
ing cascades, rapids and rivers dis
covered five years ago, but kept secret
by the officials.
Thousands of tons of concrete have
been poured into the caves, rivers
have been diverted into regular chan
neIs and concrete pillars built under
all buildings where the underground
streams had worn away foundations.
The discovery that the city was be-
ing undermined was made accidental
w five years ago. Fearing the effect
if an announcement were made, the
officials kept it secret and went 10
work to avert great disaster Funds
were diverted from other public
works and invested in concrete and
rubble stone. The work has gone on
quietly but steadily until the situation
now is we'll in hand and there is no
further danger.
No one can tell how many thousand
years the erosion by the streams has
been going on, but there is one vast
cavern connected with many smaller
caves. A thorough exploration will be
made and the catacombs mapped. 1t
is also expected that thorough investi-
cation will throw light on many mys-
terious murders and disappearances
for the last twenty years. There is
one immense lake under the city, ten
feet deep, but its dimensions have yet
to be determined There is also
spring water enough to supply the
entire city.
