In this wild world of ours, these i'm
mortal thoughts Of virtue and tender
ness have held lodgment in the
hearts OF men. When James Collins
died the American colonists had
scarcely heard the first mutterings Of
protest which eliminated in the thun-
.ders and lightnings of that great era
of civil strife, and which. gave to-
the world a new kingdom-a kingdom
set in the hearts and consciences Of
men.
But TO those who covered the graves
of the Revolution with flowers, and
planted the bright immortelles and
watered them with>their tears, came
the comforting words of the poet
dead, whose songs were as immortal
as the flowers thex loved.

ADVANCE PRICE OF FLOUR

Spokane, Wash, May 29.-Millers
throughout the Spokane country an
nounce an advance of so cents a barrel
In prices OF all patent fiours, the
prevailing high price OF wheat being
the sole cause assigned for the In
crease. Samuel Glasgow, secretary OF
the Centennial Mill company, made
this announcement for the millers;
Wheat is scarce and almost impos.
sible TO secure In quantities to keep
the wheels moving. The crop OF 1906
Is all bought and much OF It is going
TO mills in the Orient The way
prices have scared at Chicagoha had
the effect Of preclptating our action.

Cleveland. May 29.-1"The writinj

one OF the most dastardly and COW

In sentencing +. w. Laub. the former
Strausburs school teacher, TO wno

Is "a years old, was convicted by the
jury In the United States last week
after a hard fpught trial, on hhe
charge of writing AMI mailing i'm.

old girl pupils In his school.
Before pronouncing sentence the
court asked Laub II he had anything

addressed the Judge as follows;
II am not guilty as was shown by
my handwriting experts, who were bet.

his brain was as calm as could have

imposed sentence of one year in the
penitentlary and a fine OF $50 and
costs.
Laub's attorneys at once gave not.
Ice that they would carry the case

cannot be heard by the latter court
until next fall, and so Laub furnished
a ball OF $1,000. and will have the
liberty until that time at least.

HOW SLEEP THE sRAvE2

How sleep the brave who sink TO res
BY all their country's wishes blest?
When Spring, with de&y fingers cold
Returns to deck each hallowed mould
She there will dress sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell Is rung,
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their
clay:
And Freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell a weeping hermit there.
Thus wrote James Collins, a young
English poet, dead these hundred and

Estate Journal)

Estate JournaD
The Ohio state fish and game
commission under the leadership
of the new state warden, Gen.
John G. Speaks, is seriously fac
ing the proposition of getting rid
of the carp, called "the hog of the
waters"
Many years ago some misguided
chap conceived the idea of stock
ing the American streams with
German carp. These fish were to
be the poor mans beefsteak, and
all that was necessary for square
meal was to go to the mouth OF
some sewer and throw in line.
Immediately there would be bite
and a breakfast. The carp were
planted all right, and by some
stroke of misfortune they were al
so brought to Ohio. Their ability
to live in the Scioto, south of the
Green Lawn avenue bridge, is
their only excuse for. being aliye.
No decent fish in these waters will
associate with carp, and so proll-
fic are they, and so ardent believ-
ers in the anti-race suicide propo-
sition that they have driven all
the good fish away from their
natural haunts. In Lake Erie and
in the reservoirs of the state the
carp are a menace to all fishing,
even to the netters.
The commission is thinking
strongly of letting the fishermen
set their nets without cost and
without price and catching these
pests. OF course, these drags
would have to be made in the
presence of warden, and all the
game or good fishes would be re-
leased. If this is not done, then
good-by to fishing in Ohio waters.
The carp stir up the bottom, eat
the fry and eggs OF the decent fish,
and drive from the natural feeding
and breeding grounds the species
that the fisherman wants to catch ,

Beautiful Spring"

Father, dear father, come home
with me now,
For ma has some carpet to beat,
She's got all the furniture out in
the yard,
From the front door clean down to
the street.
The stove must come down, and be
put In the shed
And the yard must be cleared of
dead grass,
For it's time to clean house, and
the shingles are loose,
And the windows sadly need glass.
Father, dear father, come home
with me, now,
And bring some bologna cheese;
It's full twelve o'clock, and there's g
nothing to eat
I'm so hungry I'm weak in the
knees.
All the dinner we have will be cold
scraps and such,
And we'll have to eat standing up,
too;
For the table and all are out in
the yard
o / wish spring cleaning was
through!
Father, dear father, come home
with me, now,
For ma is as mad as turk;
She says, you're lazy old thing,
And she, proposes to put you to
work.
There is painting to do, and paper
to hang,
And the window casing to scrub;
For it's house cleaning time, and
you've got to come home
And, revel in suds and cold grub.

Permanent Cures of Tuber-
culosis.

Chicago, May 3O.-It will be
news to most Chicagoans that
their own city has overtaken, and
probably surpassed, the worlds
great scientific centers in the re-
search into the soon to-be famous
"opsonin treatment" for the cure
Of tuberculosis.
This is due to the memorial in
stitute for infectious diseases,
popularity known as the McCor-
mick institute.
This "opsonin treatment" has
effected about eight permanent
cures in Chicago out of some 40
cases in which it has been ex-
perimentally applied. None of
the physicians at the institute
consent to speak of it as a "cure"
in itself.
The "opsonin" theory, now less
than four years old, has a dis
tinguished ancestry. 1t was
Metchnikoff who discovered that
the white cells or corpucles in the
blood were independent living
organisms, and that, by virtue of
the duties which life had imposed
upon them, they attacked and de-
voured disease germs that had
gained admittance to the blood.
Metchnikotf thought, further
more, that the white corpucles
were so husky that they needed no
help in destroying the intruders.
Others said that the real blood,
the colorless lymph or serum, act
ed as stimulant upon the white
corpucles.
White corpucles were put into
an indep endent fluid medium into
which was also dropped a good
sized colony of disease germs.
The white corpucles bumped into
the colony, but contrary to
Metchnikotf's theory, showed no
signs of fight.
As soon, however, as the
bacteriologist added drop of the
serum of the blood the oorpucles
awoke to realization that their
prey was before them. A struggle
ensued, and the germs, immune
before, went down TO defeat.

Suicided by Hanging
lNelsonyllIe News.l

Coroner Lane was summoned to
Athens Monday to make an lnves-
tIgation of the facts connected
with the suicide of Frank Brad
dock at the Athens Asylum, few
days since, mention of which was
made in the News last week. His
death, the coroner finds, was due
to his own action. He had been
confined in cell because he had
run away from the institution,
and when the inmates were taken
out for an airing Braddock started
to go with them as usual, but the
guard told him he could not go,
and shut the door to keep him in
his cell.
Braddock brooded over his con-
finement and ended his life by
fastening his belt in the bars of
the window and around his neck,
producing strangulation.
He evidently worked some time
to get the belt through the bars in
such a shape as TO leave enough to
tie around his neck, but he sue
eeeded in ending his life in this
manner and not by cutting his
throat as at frst reported.

The Care of Live Stock.

If the testimony of great num-
bers of the readers of The New
York Tribune Farmer is fair
basis for the formation of a cor
rect opinion, then what is known
as its Veterinary Department is.
everywhere esteemed highly. 1t
is, however, more than a veteri-
nary department, DR.. G.. d.
Smead, who has had charge of it
for more than five years, every
week answers very many questions
in regard to every variety of live
stock known on the American
farm, not alone prescribing medi-
cines and treatment, but telling
how the diseases might have been
prevented, and laying down speci-
fic rules for feed and care in
health, in sickness and in con-
valescence. Every farmer keeps
some live stock-goo1 veterinar-
ians are scarce.
Each inquirer is fully answered,
but DIR. Smead goes far beyond
this; he believes that any infor-
nation which one intelligent
farmer needs is also needed by
hundreds and thousands of others,
and he often go broadens his answ-
er as to make it complete essay
on the subject discussed. A year
or two ago Mr.. B. Walter McKeen,
of Fryeburg, Me-, said in meet
ing of farmers that valuable
horse had been attacked with a
disease of which he had known
nothing until he had recently read
of it in The New York Tilbune
Farmer; what DIR. Smead had
taught him enabled him to cave
his horse. Another farmer arose
and said he had had a similar ex-
perience.- Five or six hundred
dollars saved In one town by one
copy of the paper! G. G. Waller,
M. d., of North Troy, VT, writes
to DR.. Smead, under date of April
%: 'I desire to express my
gratitude to you through The
New-York Tribune Farmer, and to
say that | regard you as the most
able, practical and thoroughly
safe writer of the present age, and
to express my hope that you may
live to serve the farmer and our
dumb friends for many years to
come.

LIGHTNING
PLAYS HAVOC
Ten Persons In West Hook
ing Injured.

A number Of people had very
narrow escape from sudden death
on Saturday evening just below
Adelphi, in Hooking county, dur
ing a severe storm. Ten persons,
the five children of Richard John
son, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Crawford,
and two children, and Mrs. Craw-
ford's mother, Mrs. Kate Karsh-
ner and daughter Goldie, had
taken refuge in an out-kitchen
near the home Salem Karshner has
been building on his farm just be-
low Adelphi.
During the height of the storm
the lightning struck silver
maple at the corner of the house,
passed along wire extending
from the tree to the house, and
then further on the wire to the
kitchen. 1t entered the kitchen at
a window, tore.the screen to pieces,
and went out the door.
In Its passage through the
kitchen it was attracted by wire
hair brush in the hands of Goldie
Karshner, Is year old girl, ran
up her arm across her chest and
down her leg.
All of the occupants of the
kitchen were badly shocked, and
it was some time before they re-
covered. The Older johnson boy
who lives in the nelghborhood,
was knocked unconscious, and it
took half an hour of hard work to
bring him too. Mrs. Karshner
herself was badly burned about
the mead and back, and complain
ed of pains in her head. Her
daughter is also suffering from
the shock, and the leg through
which the lightning passed Is
swollen to twice it's size. The
corner of the new house, which
was first struck, was badly
damaged, the weather boarding
knocked off, and quite quantity
of plastering disIocated. A gun
standing In the corner of the
house was unbreeched by the
lightning and the barrel was
thrown across the room by the
force of the lightning and was
driven straight into the wall.
Fortunately it did not set the house
on fire.
