EYE GLASSES FOR COWS.
A Herd of 10000. All With Their
 Goggles" On.

A Russian firm which manu' factures optical goods turn out thousands of pairs of glasses every year to be worn by cows,
 "There are a great many cows that wear glasses iu my couutry,' said a Russian visitor 10 New York in explanation. "I have seen a herd of 10000 cows with glasses on.
 1t was on tho steppes, the great Russian prairies. Our steppes for six months in the year are covered with snow, but during part of the time delicate, fresh grass tips protrude from that white and dazzling mantle. The cows then are turned out to feed on the new grass, but if their eyes are unprotected the dazzle of sunshine on the snow gives them snow blindness.
 "Thousands of cows suffered horribly, and hundreds died of snow blindness until rude, cheap kind of spectacles, made of leather and smoked glass, was and used with great success. "- New York World.

NAY SAPP NAS MURDERED
coroner's Jury Renders Verdict After Thoroughly Investigating the
 Moran Kansas Tragedy.
wHITLoW CHARGED WITH TIE KILLING
Complaint Charging First Degree
 Murder Against the Moran Mer chant Sworn Out by John Sapp, Father of the Dead Giri--Prelimin- sry Hearing Some Time Next Week.

lola, Kan, Oct. 12.-The coroners fury which has spent three days in vestigating the mysterious death or May Sapp Thursday night returned a verdict that Miss Sapp died from wounds in the neck caused by sharp instrument in the hands of a person or persons other than Miss Sapp." So determined was the jury to make plain their disbelief in the theory or suicide in connection with the case that when they inadvertently word ed their verdict to read, that Miss Sapp's death was caused by "a person or persons unknown to Miss Sapp," they promptly changed it to "a person or persons other than Miss Sapp."
 A warrant was sworn out Thursday night for Samuel F Whitlow immedi- ately after the coroner's jury reported. John Sapp, father of the dead girl, swore to the complaint, charging Whit low with the crime.
 Whitlow was on the stand for three
 
 hours Thursday afternoon. He did not change his original story in any par ticular and he added nothing material to his first confession. Every one not a relative was barred from the hear ing when Whitlow was testifying. The county attorney spent two hours with Whitlow at the jail earlier in the day, but 1t is not believed he secured any important facts from the prisoner. Mrs. Whitlow was submitted to se- we're cross examination, the special purpose of which was to establish the fact that she was not present when the girl was killed. She told straight. forward story corroborating her for. mer testimony and convinced the jury that she was at home with her chil. dren when the tragedy occurred.
 John Haner, neighbor of the Sapp family. testified that upon one oc- casion he heard Miss Sapp talking to herself, waving her arms excitedly and in other ways acting strangely when she was alone. He was not near enough to hear what the girl said, but his attention was attracted by the sounds she made. He had never seen Miss Sapp act in this strange manner but once.
 Samuel F. Whitlow was formally placed under arrest here Friday morn. ing on a warrant sworn to by J. N Sapp of Moran charging him with the murder of the latter's daughter. May Sapp, whose dead body was found ir Moran on the night of September 27 Whitlow is charged with murder il the first degree. Carl ]. Peterson, the prosecuting attorney, said that Whit low probably would be given pre- liminary hearing next week.
 Whitlow exhibited no surprise when told that he would be charged with the murder, and when the warrant was served he reiterated that he was innocent Whitlow said he owed 1t to his wife and family to tell the truth about the affair, and declared that he would stand on his first story that the girl had committed suicide be. cause he had refused to elope with her.

SAYS STATE MAY
 ALTER A CONTRACT
Attorney General Kirby Announces That He Will Appeal From Judge Trieber's Decision ou Wingo
 Act.


 ney General W. K. Kirby an nounced yesterday that he would take an appeal 10 the United States Supreme court from the decision rendered agaisst the state of Arkansas by Judge Jacob Trieber in the injunction suits brought by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Com pany and the Western Union Telegraph Company against o. c. Ludwig, as secretary of state.
 "These suits" said MT. Kirby,
 'were brought to enjoln the secretary of state from reyokiug the license or right of these com panies to do business in Arkansas because oi their failure to comply with the recent act of the legis lature, known as the Wingo law. It provides the terms upon winch foreign corporations may do busi- ness in the state, and that their right to do business may be re. voked by the secretary of state upon their failure to comply with  the terms or upon their bringing suit against citizens of the state in the Federal courts or removal of causes from the state to the Federal courts without the con- sent to the other party of the shit.
 Tt has long been held that foreign corporation has no right to do business iu the state with out permission, and that the state may impose such terms and re- strictions upon them as 1t may thiak proper. Recently the Su- preme court of the United States in the Colorado case has decided that when a state prescribes con ditions upon which foreign cor poratious may come into the state, that the corporations enter ing and complying with the con- ditions has contract with the state, the obligation of which the state cannot impair. Our consti- tuition and laws provide that foreign corporation entering this state and complying with its terms becomes a domestic corpor- atiou, and our constitution pro- vides the General Assembly shall have the power to alter, re- yoke or annul any charter of in- corporation now existing-or that may hereafter be created-when- evsr in their opinion it may be injurious to the citizens of this state, in such manner. however, that no injustice shall be done to to the incorporators.'
 "lf these corporations do have contract upon coming into the state, this provision of the con stitution is part of the contract, and the state in passing the Win. go act was but exercising its right to alter, amend, revoke or annul the charter or right to do business ot such corporation This particular feature ot the case was not passed upon by the Supreme court of the United States in the Colorado decision according 10 our contentious.
 "lt Is matter of moment, and one that should be finally and definitely settled, snd on that ac count an appeal will be taken"

The "wacht am Rheln."


OF the martial songs more partlcu-
larly connected with the various peri
DDS of storm and stress in Germany.
one of the most celebrated is that of
the Rhine" composed by Becker and
answered by Alfred de Musset in other
we'll known verses. The "Wacht am
Rhein." by Max Schneckenburger, was
composed about the same period as the
Rhine song, but attained it's widest
popularity during the war Of 1870. I'm
like Becker's song, it cannot boast of
having been set to music by seventy
composers.
The patriotic song of Deutschland,
Deutschland uber Alles." was the work
of the popular writer. poet, philologist
and historian, August Hoffman,, who
was born at Fallersleben in the year
1898. For a time we find him acting az
librarian and later as a professor at
the university of Breslau, but the lib
eral tendency of some Of his writings
caused him, in 1888, to be deprived OF
his professional chair. For many
years he was librarian to the duke OF
Ratibor and died in this sheltered post
In 1874. The German national anthem
Hell Dir i'm Siegerkranz," was writ.

|EYEN IF DISCOURAGED
TRY Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM,
The Pills Have Cured tho Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced STAGES.

Rheumatism is a painful infamma.
ton of the muscles or Of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in II joint or muscle for q
time, leaves it and passes On to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for a time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Cot
St., Auburn, Me-, says: 81 had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by overwork. My heart was
troubled with indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.
l had no appetite and used to have awful
fainting spells, falling down when at
my work. I frequently felt numb all
over. My head ached continuously for
five years.
about two years ago I began to feel
rheumatism in my joints, which became
so lame l could hardly walk. My joints
were swollen and panied me terribly.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills were rec
commended to M by a friend, after [ had
failed to get well from the Doctors
treatment. When I began taking the
pills, the rheumatism was at it's worst.
l had taken only a few boxes, when the
headaches stopped and not long after
ward l felt the pain in my joints be-
coming less and less, until there was
none at all. The stiffness was gone and
I have never had any return of the rheu-
matism."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as nervous and general
debility, indigestion, nervous headache,
neuralgia and even partial paralysis and
locomotor ataxia. AS a tonic for the
blood and nerves they are unequalled.

Blood" and q copy of our diet book will

Dear Sir.
came to this country from the
State of Wisconsin three years ago,
and must say that | am greatly pleased
with the outlook in this western coun-
try. For my W part l am entirely
satisfied with the progress l have
made since coming here. l have raised
excellent crops of grain of all varie-
ties, Last season my wheat averaged
90 bushels of wheat to the acre, oats
CD ana barley 40.
We had q splendid garden this year,
rtpening successfully tomatoes, musk
melons. water melons, sweet corn and
Kindred sorts.
The country is we'll adapted to
wheat growing and mixed farming, and
to my mind it is the best country I'M
der the sun for a mar with a family
and small means, as it is possible for
a man to commence farming opera
tons with much less capital than is
required in the older settled countries.
The climate is all that could be de-
sired. being very healthy and invigor-
ating.
My wife came out about six months
ago. and although inclined to be deli
cate in the old home, she has enjoyed
the hest of health since coming here.
Ina short. I am more than satisfied
with the land of my adoption, and l
am also satisfied with the laws of the
country.
Yours very truly,
