Themselves OR Wear Glasses.
Realizing the awful results of indi-
gestion, Uncle Sam has asked for ten
z expert cooks, who must be healthy
and have good eyesight, to cook for
his Indians and his soldiers at West
ern posts and reservations Twenty
five young women of this city, who
have all the eXacting requirements,
filed applications for the positions at
the United States civil service commits
sion. Despite the alleged independ-
ence of the American cook, who is
supposed to dictate instead Of obey,
the applicants answered the following
questions:
Are you subject to loss of con-
sciOusness?"
DO you wear glasses?"
Are you subject to dizziness?"
What are your past and present
habits in the use Of alcohol"
do you use opium, morphine or
any other drug?"
Have you ever had any deformity?"
No cook under twenty years old will
be considered, as the government be-
Iieves women under that age have
not had sufficient experience to pre-
pare food properly.
Their pay will range from $3.50 to
$40 a year, and includes board.
Nothing is said of a day out in the
applications, nor is there any men
ton Of nights when the cook may en-
terrain her friends. = Philadelphia

British Ferris Wheel.

Like the old Ferris wheel of the
Columbian exposition days, the great
wheel of Earl's court, London, will
never revolve again. 1t is being taken
down and the steel in it sent to Wales
where, mixed with pig iron and iron
ore, it will be converted into steel bars
for tinplate making. Biscuit, tobacco
and mustard cans will be manufac
tured from these. The steel of the
British warship Montagu will under
go the same fate.

Pope's New Physician.

Dr. Ettore Marchiafava, who sue
ceeded the late DR.. Lapponi as private
physician to the pope, was born fifty
two years ago at Civita Vecchia and
was principally educated in Rome,
where he is now professor of patholog-

Tobacco Smoke Scared Deer.

A new way of preventing deer from
doing damage to holding has been
adopted by the occupier Of Hoddon
farm, in the heart Of the Devon and
Somerset staghound country.
Discarding the use of tarred ropes
and other strong smelling materials in
fences, he walks through his turnip
fields, two or three times night,
smoking a strong pipe. the smell of
which, he says, frightens the deer
away. Before he adopted this device
his farm used to be visited by scores
of deer nightly.

Iona Lived Goldfinch.

The longevity of ravens, geese and
several other birds is we'll known, but
it does not often fall to the lot OF a
cage bird to live to great age.
A goldfinch belonging to w. Goodwin
of Victori, Park, Dorchester, Eng,
furnished the exception to the rule by
living till it was twenty-five years old.
The bird lately died from sheer ola

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
rL,rn,p tba Chicaon Tribune

FROM Tile chicago IIIUuile.l
Don't trifle with a cold, is good
advice for prudent men and women. 1t
may be vital in, the case of a child.
Proper food, good ventilation and dry
warm clothing are the proper safe
guards against colds. If they are main
tanned thru the changeable weather of
autumn, winter and spring, the chances
of a surprise from ordinary colds will
be slight But the ordinary light cold
will become severe if neglected, and a
we'll established ripe cold is to the
germs of diphtheria what honey is to
the bee. The greatest menace to child
life at this season of the year is the
neglected cold" Whether it us a child
or adult, the cold slight or severe, the
very best treatment that can be
adopted is to give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy 1t is safe and sure. The great
popularity and immense sale of this
preparation has been attained by it's re-
lnarkable cures of this ailment. A cold
never results in pneumonia when it is
given. For sale by all druggists. 4

GRINNELL CLAIMS A TITLE.
Iowa College Says It is Basket Bal
Champion of State.

Grinnell. Feb. 21.-The Iowa college
basket ball team has practically closed
its season after one of the most sue
cessful campaigns in the history of the
scarlet and black teams. Not only has
Grinnell won the undisputed college
championship of the state, but 1t has
defeated the Y. NJ c. A. team of Des
Moines, admitted to be the leader in
that form of sport among the Y. NJ. c..
AS of the state. Despite the fact that
the Des Moines team had already de-
feated Grinnell followers of the col
lege team claim for 1t the state cham
pionship on account OF the fact that
while Des Moines defeated Grinnell "a
to 80 Grinnell defeated Des Moines by
a score of 33 to "a.
There is some talk of third game
to settle the state championship. but
owing to the difficulty in securing a
third floor on which to hold the game
it is not probable that it will be played.
The Grinnell team which has won these
honors for its school is composed OF
klien and McEachron. forwards;
Fisher and Brundage, guards, and Nc

JUDsoN HARPER's SUCCESSOR.
Chosen President Of Chicago Univer
sity by Board Of Trustees.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Harry Pratt Jud-
son. who has been acting head Of the
University of Chicago for over a year
since the death of President William
Ralney Harper was elected to the pres
idency yesterday by unanimous vote
of the board trustees.
The action of the board was taken
at meeting held in the business Of
flee of the university, at 1876 Adams
street.
President Judson's election was not
unexpected by those conversant with
the affairs of the institution. as it had
been rumored frequently for several
months that he would be the perman-
ent successor of DR.. Harper, with
whom he was associated closely from
the opening of the university until the
death of DR.. Harper, Jan. 10, 1906. Not
all the members of the board were
present at the meeting. but nearly all
of the absent ones sent messages of
approval, while the others are known to
be in accord with the action of the ma
jority.

CATTLE HIGHER TODAY
Advance of Ten In Best Sorts,
and Other Kinds Were
Steady
noes FULLY FIVE HIGHER
HOGS FULLY FIVE HIGHER
Trade Was Fairly Active, scalpers and
Shippers Taking Hold Freely, Not
withdrawing the Liberal Supply =
Ton Thousand HoIdovers Today =
Sheep Prices Were Steady.

Chicago Feb 21.-Cattle demand
was much improved today, especially
from exporters and eastern buyers.
The quality however, was not of the
best, but the best sorts were about 1Oc
higher, other kinds being steady.
The demand for feeding cattle is
regulated to large extent by the con-
dition of the market for fat steers.
The man who feeds likes TO look ahead
and figure out in his own way what
will be the state of the market when
he gets his stuff ready to ship back
for slaughter. The space between the
time of purchase and the time Of send
ing to market is generally SO great that
many unexpected things happen. so
after all 1t is largely game of chance.
This season the high price OF corn and
hay have been deterrent factors in the
feeding business and have caused many
farmers to, hesitate. The demand all
winter has been intermittent. AT
times local dealers were not able to
get enough cattle to fill the orders,
and again they would be loaded UP to
the limit with practically no outlet. To
the buyer feeders at $4.5O64.90 look
rather high, but if he can convert them
into s6@6.50 cattle he will not lose
anything, even with feed at the pres
ent price.
The market is in better shape than
a week ago and most of the recent
loss has been regained. The best cat
tie are said to be as high as before
the break. and one of the big buyers
declared yesterday that he would pay
81 for strictly choice steers.
Hogs.
Hogs were stronger in spite of the
liberal supply there being 10000 hold
overs Prices were fully &c higher, and
trade was fairly active, scalpers and
shippers taking hold freely.
Sheep.
The sheep trade was very slow, at
steady prices.

PERIL IN RAILWAY LAWS
President stickney, Of the Great

Present Agitation
FEARS A FINANCIAL PANIC
Unless Legislatures Cease Attacking
Roads, Trouble Will Ensue-EmpIoy-

St Paul, Feb. 21--The pending gem
side the state legislatures, will, if un-
checked, plunge the country into finan-
cial disaster, according to President A.
b. Stlckney, of the Chicago Great
Western railway He says hard times
always follow legislative tinkering
with things which are not fit subjects
for legislation. 1t was so thirteen or
fourteen years ago. when for years
previous to the last panic congress had
been experimenting with free silver,
and it will be SO again, he declares.
Mr. Stickney sees an unmistakable
danger signal in SO far as this senti-
ment is finding expression In the con-
tinual harassing of railroads by what
Is characterized as useless investiga-
ton and threatened radical legislation.
1T is high time for the good of the
country as a whole that there should
be a letup in the railroad batting which
is becoming a favorite sport with leg
islators and state officers" Mr.. Stick
ney yesterday asserted. 1T is going
too far. 1t is getting dangerous. The
legislatorsmay not see it and the people
may not see it, but proposed laws
threatening to be passed in many
states and passed in some states will
bring period OF business depression,
not Immediately but as sure as the
years roll around.
Il do not want to- be quoted as

these laws are passed MOST of the
railways have incompleted work which
will be finished and give employment
to as many men this year as last but
all railways will be slow to commence
new work, so that in 1908 they will give
employment to fewer men. This will
be the starting point Of the lack of
employment which is always a dis

expenses. For instance, on Nthe Great
Western we could cut down expenses
by reducing facilities about s1,000,000
& year. But how would we do it? BY
borrowing from the roadbed, tracks and
equipment, so to speak; by spending,
say, $500 mile for maintenance OF
tracks year where we now spend $500
or $500; by sepnding few hundred
thousand less on rolling stock-in
short, by letting our whole property run
down
"The strongest roads would have to
cut out all dividends and stock would
go tumbling, while the weaker roads
would be forced into the hands of re-
ceivers. And then you know what
would happen. The great system OF
credit. which most people think is
money and which is to all practical
purposes, would melt like dew before
the sun. Bankers, jobbers and mer-
chants would feel e-stringency imme-
diately and firms caught with large
lines of credit out would go to the
wall general tumble would follow
and we would have to live over again
the days of our last hard times.

Grundy Center Feb. 21.-The court
late last night refused to grant the pc
tition for change Of Venue in the
Wells will case. and the trial. as a le-
suit, goes over until the May term uf
court.
Judge Ransier early in the day rem
dered his decision in the matter OF
overruling the petition for change OF
venue. He then adjourned court until

having the two sides appear and de-
eide on date for hearing of the
case Both took the privilege of de-
position. thus making it impossible ia
hold the trial at the present term. The
case was then adjourned without date
The change Of venue was asked be-
cause Judge Wade, attorney for con-
tesla hts, had written three articles dis
cusslng the case. which he had pub
lished In the two newspapers at Grun-

motion but expressed his opinion of

the judge put she trial over until he
could consult with his associate, Judge
Platt.
The litigation. which now promises
to be almost interminable, arose over
the efforts of certain heirs of the wife
to the late millionaire, Wells, to break
his will. Wells made will twenty
years ago. leaving everything to his
wife, She died twelve years ago AMI
he made another will. leaving $4,000
to his wife's sister. $1,000 to servant
and nothing to his wife's other rela-

his wife's sister. The balance of q
vast estate was bequeathed to his own
heirs without naming them. The wtfu'5
relatives thru Attorneys Wade and De
Wolf are seeking to establish the viii
OF twenty years ago on the ground
that Wells was not of sound mind when
the last will was made.
