Dubuque's Seal.

On the city seal of Dubuque, Ia, ap-
pear the words La petite mutt" and
strangers are always puzzled by them.
Why should Dubuque be called "the
little nightT' 1t is explained that the
place originally was settled by an old
miner named Dubuque. When the In
dams granted certain lands to Dubuque
the document was drawn up In French
in Prairie du Chen. The clerk who
did the work believed that ia petite
nuit' meant ''the old miner" and his
mistake has perpetuated q phrase
which. however pretty, has no s,gnif-
canoe In its present connection.

Order of British Titles.

They had been talking about an Eng
fish marquis asd the position he held
among his titled aristocracy.
II didn't know a marquis ranked so
high" said the girl IN white.
Dear me!' said an Englishman.
Didn't you? Why, a marquis ranks
next to a duke"
He paused to sip his tea and take a
foie gras sandwich.
Marques, not marquis" he went
on, lis the more accurate use Of the
word. 1t is SO spelled and pronounced
in Burke. Shall tell you the degrees
of the English aristocracy? The l1nowI-
edge may be useful to you when you
come to contract an international al

dukes come marqulses, then earls, Wis

Brooks raised the shade and looked
put. saying things softly to himself
a sodden landscape merged into lead
en- skies, and a fine, driving rain yelled
but slightly the misery of the scene.
Across the road a score of ducks
waddled contentedly through the mud
dy field to a puddle that had formed
Ia corner of the lot, but half q dozen
.bedraggled hens squawked dolefully as
they picked up the angleworns driven
TO the surface by the continued rain
and rushed back to shelter. The COWS
IN the side pasture huddled under the
dripping trees, and the dog trotted
across the road with his tail dragging
almost in the mud as he made for the
protection of the barn after being driv-
en- from the inviting kitchen door.
Brooks had come to Centerville for a
ipurpose-a purpose that was not best
served by confinement In q country
boarding house for seven days and
nights. Once or twice there had come
a break in the steady rain, but in an
hour or SO it only came down the hard
er, as though to make up for the time
1t had lost.
He had wanted to take Bess over to
the Big rock, where they had first
met the summer before, and there
make the avowal of love that had hung
trembling upon his lips ever since. He
had been able to take a whole month
the year before-four golden weeks fill
ed with sunshine and love.
Then Bess had gone to Europe as
companion to a rich relative, and just
as she returnedsCurtis Brooks had been
called to South America on a matter of
great importance. They had CORE
sponded with such regularity as their
uncertainty Of movement permitted,
but there had been no opportunity for
q proposal, and now their waking time
was divided between the parlor and
the dining room of the old farmhouse.
Seven days OF rain had got on
Brooks nerves. With his whole en-

ergy bent upon taking back to town
Bess' promise. the dreary round of
parlor life irritated him.
Dickie Langdon, who had been the
life of the stormbound party, had re-
christened Willow farm the Ark, with
an allusion to the animals that went
two by two. The landlord was Noah,
the colored servants Ham and his
wife, and, with q sudden switch to
''Pinafore," Langdon has insisted that
Brooks was Dick Deadeye because of
his disposition. and Brooks had not be-
lied his nickname. 1t was not easy
even for patient man to sit quietly
and see the hoped for opportunity
pass, and Curtis Brooks was not q
patient man.
All through those last weeks in Co
fumbia he could shut his eyes and>see
Bhe Big rock with BeSs and himself
standing beside it just as they had
lone the summer before. Now that he
gasehere he could not even. see It from
the windows because of the curtain of
mist and rain Tomorrow he would
have to return TO town, and then there
was another long trip to Caregena.
The frown was still on Brooks face
when he went down to breakfast
1Angdon's 5ollity irritated him, and
IFhen they went back TO the parior
litter the meal he was gloomy and
iispirited. Even BesS could not win
him out Of himself, and finally he went
to his room to write some letters, he
announced
Writing consisted in sitting before q

was coming down IN sheets. He could

Quick Wit.

There is no more effective weapon to
defend US from impertinence or rude
ness than quick, sharp wit. But few
men have it, and it is born with them.
If we try to initiate it we end In Ill

forced into growth. But courtesy and
good temper can. These weapons are
sure and grow brighter and stronger
with age.

iclew that the men left this city to 90
to Catalia to work in the mines. The
officers attach more weight to this clcw
than to any other that has come to their
notice since the discovery OF the crime.
The police department is active in
other lines. Aside from running down
every report, no matter how idle it may
seem, Chief Wappenstein is plastering
the country with circular letters. Tn
less the two suspects have reached some
populous city, their escape is made diff
cult by the wide publicity given the
tragedy.
IF the men were in Alaska, as indi.
c,ted, we have them pocketed ii they
are in the states, the problem Of their
capture is more difficult said Chief
Wappenstein in analyzing the case last
night. He said that every avenue Of
escape, so far as possible, had been
covered and unless the men were gotten
out of the West entirely they would
not be able to slip through the lines.

HOW TO MIX IT
Directions to Prepare Simple
Home Mixture.

A well-known authority on Rheuma
tism gives the following valuable, yet
simple and harmless, prescription,
which any one can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, ne-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken regu-
larly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case Of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each Dose until permanent results
are obtained, and without injuring the
stomach. While there are many So
called Rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, ETC., some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent results,
and the above will, no doubt, be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers here at
this time.

announced today that one-third, or 1000
acres, of the Umatilh irrigation pro-
ject will be thrown open to settlement
some time prior to January !. Hereto
fore this has been much in doubt, but
recent reports warrant the preparation
to open the lands. Especially! rigid
rules have been adopted to prevent spec
ulators from taking lands merely to sell
in "a few months to bona fide settlers
Davis asserts that the Umatilla pro-
ject probably contains the richest lands
with the best surrounding conditions

Navy Department Prepares Plans For
Monster,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-In order to
be ready for anything which congress
may ask, the navy department is pre-
pairing plans for a 30,000-ton battle
ship having 4O,OOO-horsepower engines.
Its draft would be about 30 feet and it
would be the largest and finest battle
ship ever planned by any navy. 1t is
said that this theoretical manof war
would have eight turrets and l6 l2-inch

SEATTLE, Oct. John Rosne, OF
Seattle, managing director OF the North
eastern Siberia Company, and promi-
nently identified with score OF corpo-
nations active in the development OF
Alaska, returned to the city yesterday
on the steamship Northwestern, after
having spent three months on a tour
of inspection in the North, which includ-
cd trip from Nome to Anaiir Bay, in
Siberia, where his company has been
rewarded by the discovery of placer
gold deposits after a search lasting over
five years. As soon as Mr. Rosne can
arrange his local matters he will pro-
eeed to St. Petersburg, Russia, and re-
port the result of his findings to the
Headquarters Of the company.
"We have found placer gold in paying
quantities in Siberia, and under appar-
emily favorable conditions said Mr..
Rosene last night The water facilities
are good and the placer beds so located
that they can be worked to advantage.
The pay streaks found are twenty miles
In northerly direction from Anadir
bay.
"The man who discovered the gold
and who will get the credit for the new
gold fields in history is L. c. Nadeau,
who is resident OF King county, Wash
ngton, and who has been prospector
for over thirty-three years. He went to
Eastern Siberia under an arrangement
with our company in 1902, and with the
exception of a period of ten months,
las been actively engaged in exploring
the territory ever since.
although the work Of prospecting
was proceeded with Systematically, it
was not until a year ago that the men
recovered any gold and the news was
sot forwarded to us owing to the fact
that the steamer Oakland which was
taking supplies to our Andamir posts,
got caught in the ice and could not
communicate with the men. The first
eolors were found On September II, a
year ago, and by reason of the ice
blockade we will be year behind in
developing the fields. The men in the
exploring camp, too, had hard winter,
as they were out of fuel and eatables
we're scarce.
''Tbe only active mining that has
been done was of three weeks dura-
tion on one claim, and the cleanup re-
suited in fifty ounces. The result is
comparatively small, but l regard it as
favorable, owing to the difficult condi,
tiOns under which the men had to work.
They only had three small sluice boxes,
huiIt Of ordinary lumber, and the size
SnIy permitted four men to work at a
time. To construct these sluce boxes
they used all the boards available with
lin several hundred miles.

CITY OWNERSHIP REJECTED.
Four Wisconsin Municipalities Unable to
Get Water Plants.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. O. Municipal
ownership Of water works plants was
defeated yesterday in four Wisconsin
cities. At Manitowoc the vote against
city ownership. by buying the present
plant for $23O,OOO, was defeated. At
Racine it was found impossible to get
brokers to take city bonds for $4,000
for a plant owned by the municipality.
At Sheboygan there was the same
trouble, the price OF the plant being
100000. At Appleton the supreme court
rendered a decision which fixed rate
for service 50 low that the people drop
ped the agitation for a city-ownel
plant.
