COTTON IN INDIA.
The Way 1t Was Discovered by Man
 Who Was an Observer.


 Who Was an Observer.
 4 remarkable story is told about the discovery of the cotton plant in India some years ago. Two gentlemen were driving out to dinner near Bombay, one the host aud the other his guest. On both sides of the road were hedges. It was getting dark, but the guest noticed some white stuff on the top of the hedges all the way along and at length told his friend that he thought it looked like cotton. His friend order ed the native driver to stop. and the two Englishmen got down and exam ined. The guest was right. It was cot ton of an extraordinary strong staple. Both men were cotton experts, and yet the host, who had driven along the same road for years. had passed the cotton without recognizing it. The guest immediately proceeded to buy up these hedges. for except them there were none that he had seen during a twelve years residence in India.
 During his investigations he discov- cred that natives often had one or two cotton trees in their gardens. and the English club compounds possessed three or four in different parts of h. dia, but nowhere except in this Bom- bay district did he see cotton growing in such luxuriant abundance.
 He bought up every tree and plant he could. for not single native Euro pean imagined that 1t was a cotton tree that he possessed in his garden Cotton Age.

THE FEATHER BED.
1t Is a Poor Thing to Use Either In
 Summer or Winter.


 "Few people. even physicians them selves, seem to know the principal req son why medical science condemns the use of feather beds in winter as we'll as in summer" said a New York phy- sician recently.
 ''It is because feather beds are high ly hygroscopic-a rather formidable word, but one meaning simply that feathers readily absorb and condense moisture. The body is constantly throwing off waste matter through the skin and the lungs. The feathers in the bed will absorb this waste matter os readily as it will simple atmos- pheric moisture. The feathers re- tain the waste matter during the day. when the bed is cold. even when 1t is aired, unless also warmed by sun shine during the time it is exposed to the air.
 "At night, when the body of the sleeper warns the bed, the feathers, renew their hygroscopic action and throw off the waste matter absorbed the night before. The susceptible body O. the sleeper is soon surrounded by a dense and highly poisonous atmos- phere, the accumulative effect of which cannot help but be very in furious.
 ''The skin, like the lungs, is contin- ually breathing and is very sensitive to external influences; hence arises the need for air baths as well as for water baths. The entire body should be exposed to fresh air every day for as long time as you can make possi- ble, and all beds should be thoroughly ventilated."-New York Times.

ON NOVEMBER SIXTEENTH
Oklahoma Will Become a State On the
 Above Date.

Washington, Oct.-President Roose- welt will issue the proclamation admit ting the new state of Oklahoma on Saturday, November 16, next The constitution was formerly placed-in his hands by Governor Frantz and large delegation from Oklahoma at Il o'clock Monday morning. The issu- ance of the proclamation Saturday, November 16, will immediately start the machinery of Oklahoma as state. The function of presenting certified copy of the constitution was carried out in conformity with the terms of the enabling act, which provides that the copy shall be presented by the governor of the territory of Oklahoma and the federal judge senior in service in the Indian Territory. Governor Frantz of Oklahoma and Judge Clay ton of Indian Territory constitute the official committee of presentation. The constitution was enclosed in a red leather case. This was unclasped, and Governor Frantz stated, as he laid it before the president that he formal ly presented a certified copy of the constitution of Oklahoma, together with statement of the election re- turns. In response, the president in dicated his expectation to sign the constitution, but added that this ap- proval was not to be taken as an in
 brsement on his part of all the pro- visions of that document. A number of protests, he said, had been received and examined by himself and the at torney general, but were regarded not sufficient to alter what he believed his duty to sign. One or two protests have just arrived, and he indicated that these would receive careful at tention. In issuing the proclamation, the president said he would wish to fill the federal positions in the new state. Governor Frantz requested that the people of the state be given 19 or 15 days notice before the proc lamation should issue. This, after some discussion, determined the presi- dent to fix the date at once, and Nov l6 was decided on.

Are Prisoners in Philippines.

Madrid, Oct.-A Spaniard named Bulguera, a recent arrival from Man fla, has caused some excitement here by story to the effect that there are more than 4,000 Spanish prisoners in the Bulacan province, Island of San Juan del Monte. They are held by Tamalos, he says, who compel them to drag their blows. They are whip ped and treated like beasts of burden and the only reward they get is a scanty ration of green corn Bull guerra has related his story to a cor respondent of Fl Pueblo and he says that in June last 90 Spanish prison CTS tried to escape by swimming. Practically all were drowned, he says, but he succeeded in landing on the opposite bank and was subsequently able to reach Manila. There he went to the American authorities. who provided him with passage to Cadiz. He reached that port in September. but was only able to reach his na- tive town few days since, where he had long been given up for dead.

Girl Kills General.

St. Petersburg, Oct.-Gen Maxim offsky, director of the Department of Prisons of the Ministry of the Inter- for was shot and killed Monday. The general was the highest reSnonsible official connected with the Russian pcisons, and it is supposed that this was the reason he was selected for assassination by the terrorists A young woman who has not yet been identified, presented herself at the weekly reception of Gen. Maximoff- sky and remained quietly in the crowded anteroom until it was her turn to enter the generals private of fee. When she was in his presence the woman drew revolver and fired seven shots point blank at the general, six of them taking effect The wound ed man was hastily taken to a hospi- tai, but his condition was hopeless. The generals assassin, who was ar rested immediately, unhesitatingly avowed herself to be an emissary of the northern flying section of the so- cial revolutionists, who had been en- trusted with the task of punishing Maximoffsky for the stern regime which he lately had introduced in the treatment of important political pris- oners, whom he ordered to be treated like ordinary criminals. General Max imoffsky was sponsor for Governor Borodulin of Akatui prison, Siberia, the jailor of Mme Sparidonova, and who recently was assassinated at Pakoff. Colonel Ivanoff, governor of the political prison at Viborg, was one of MaXimoffskys instruments. The introduction of soldiers into the pri- sons to preserve discipline was one of the most destested measures of Maximoffsky.

When requested for such prescrip-
ton for the cure of rheumatism and
kidney trouble the answer was: You
must make the kidneys do their work;
they are the filters of the blood.
They must be made to strain out of the
blood the waste matter and acids that
cause rheumatism; the urine must
be neutralized so it will no longer
be a source Of irritation to the blad-
der. and most of all, you must keep
these acids from forming in the stOm-
ach. This is the cause of stomach
troubles and poor digestion. For these
conditions | would suggest the follow
