NEW LAWS.
r. r. Rate Bll and Pure Food Law
Effective First-Two Sweeping
Measures.

Beginning the first two important
laws are effective all over the United
States. They are the pure food law
and the railroad rate bill as passed by
the last session Of congress.
/ Of the two the public will feel the
effects of the pure food law first. AL
ready prices have been raised in GER
tain classes Of food stuff and drugs,
which are also affected by the meas
ure. Merchants in Florence have
used every effort to dispose Of all
goods that they had reason to believe
were not absolutely pure and the first
Of January find their shelves compar-
atively free from such stuffs. The
law has practically been in force
with them for several months rs they
realized that any surplus stock would
be dead loss after January the first.
The new law requires the shipping
of meats, which industry perhaps, is
affected more than any other, that the
grade shall be stamped on all meats
at the western markets. There are
three grades of meat, which are sala-
bic. The first grade which is abso-
lutely pure, the seconds, which are
somewhat tainted but to such small
extent, the casual purchaser cannot
observe the defect, and the third
which shows the defect plainly.
1t might be stated in this connec-
tion that the meat shipped into South
Carolina is mostly, if not entirely
seconds, but it is retailed as the best
quality. The law will break up this
practice. All shipments must bear
stamp indicating the grade and
must be sold as that grade. Already
manufacturers have begun to take
heed. A noticeable effect of the law
is seen in the case of canned toma-
toes. Several months ago upon open
ing can the contents presented
rich lucious color, obtained by the
addition Of impure coloring stuff.
Now the same contents minus the
adultcration can be had. 1t is less
pleasing to the eye but more palatable
rs is pure. IF the law is enforced the
public will have reason to be thankful,
if the law is properly enforced.
The measure is far reaching in its
effect. The manufacturer, wholesale
dealer and retail dealer are subject
to its violation. Thus il the law is
properly enforced will proteC all
concerned.
The railroad rate law was also effcc-
tive on the first. Tt requires that the
various railway companies shall is
sue no more passes except to regular
employees. This stops free travelling
for an immense number of people,
newspaper men and politicians. The
law also places the making of rates,
both passenger and freight in the
hands of the Inter State Commerce
commission.
The public all over the country has
something before them in watching
the progress and the effect of these
two laws.

ARTICLES LOST AT SEA.
Hats and Other Wearing Apparel Per
quisites for Neptune.

Did you ever speculate on what be
comes of the hats and other articles of
wearing apparel that find their way
into the sea from the steamers that
are constantly plying back and forth?
Hardly ship steams from one port
to another without somebody's hat or
boa or shawl blowing overheard. Thou.
sands of them have been lost that way
and scarcely single one has been
recovered. They are dashed to bits
by the waves, blown to shreds and
otherwise destroyed.
But once in blue moon hat does
come back to land, as in the case not
long ago when large fish was caught
In cleaning it woman's hat, almost
intact, was found in the stomach of
the denizen of the deep. There Is
reason to believe that this bit of fem.
mime wearing apparel had not lodged
very long in it's curious resting place,
for even a fish Is not proof against
indigestion or its equivalent when 1t
comes to eating straw braid, feathers
and flowers. This hat has been pre-
served as a specimen of considerable
interest on account of its unique
travels OF course If the fair owner
ever makes a claim on 1t and can
identify her property 1t will be re-
turned to her.

He answered, and told him the
story that Young Hcgwer had given
Elm.
The next morning when Hegwer got
up he found no one on the plantation
but the old man and an oldishlike lady
apparently his wife and an old negro
man and negro woman. Jack and
Mike had got up early, left the place
on horseback and returned again
about three o'clock in the afternoon.
The next morning it was the same
thing over again: they returned about
the same time, loaded the wagon and
drove off in the same direction. The
next morning Jack and Mike left the
same as before. When three o'clock
came they did not return; four O'Clock
came and still they we're not there.
The old man was getting very ner-
vous. He chewed his tobacco much
faster and he spit his juice much far
Their and talked much louder. He
finally came up to young Hegwer and
said In trembling voice.
Il reckon you and | will have to
take that food to them niggers. Jack
and Mike must have got into some
sorter trouble"
They started with the wagon, as 1t
had already been loaded and prepared
to CO. They drove in the same direc-
ton through the woods, until finally
they came into sight OF a dim light
short distance ahead of them. They
came to bayou about 30 feet wide
with foot bridge across It, There
the old gentleman stopped, got out OF
the wagon and went in the direction
of the light. In short time he re-
turned. another with him, and intro
duced young Hegwer to him as a new
member of the gang. They each gath
cred In some of the boxes and cans
and started In the direction OF the
light. Young Hegwer was bound to
see 1t all; tied the mules to a tree,
gathered up box and followed them.
To his great surprise, there he
found what he was looking for. A
large log cabin about so feet long. 20
feet wide, with about 40 negro men
and women and boys IA or Is years

old, all chained to the walls, their
chains fastened round their ankles, ly-
In on beds of straw with some GOV.
ering.
On his return to the plantation they
found Jake and Mike had returned.
They reported that they had been fol-
lowed by some spies, and In order to
mislead them they had to go way
around as they did not dare to come
directly to the plantation for fear OF
being discovered
Next morning young Hegwer was
sent out to finish the blowing that he
had begun-the other end of the field
was near the road that went to Atchi.
SON There he wrote the letter to his
brother and handed 1t to one of the
drivers of a team that was going down
town, to be mailed. That night every.
thing went as heretofore, and all prep.
arations were being made for the
start for the south The next night,
nearly midnight, troop of cavalry
was heard coming up to the planta-
ton. 1t surrounded the house, and
the inmates we're all taken prisoners.
Young Hegwer escaped through the
back door and hid out until the rest
had been loaded into a government
ambulance and started for Atchison.
The troopers we're commanded by Bob
Madden, first lieutenant company B,
Ninth Kansas cavalry.
Young Hegwer took one of the
horses that belonged to one of the sol
diers that rode in the wagon with the
prisoners and led the way to the cabin
In the woods where the negros had
been kept. The cabin was surrounded
by the soldiers; the guards showed
fight at the beginning but soon saw
that they were overpowered and SIR.
rendered. The negroes were liber-
ated, and the guards were taken pris-
oners. BY this time day began to
break, and the whole procession began
their march to Atchison. About noon
they arrived at the headquarters, the
prisoners were all taken to Leaven-
worth and there tried by court-msrtial
and sentenced to long term of years
In prison. The negroes were liberated
and allowed to go on their way re-
joicing. | think happier lot Of ne

at c1rferent times hunted buffaloes
and wolves and was accustomed to
all kinds of hardships.
The captain informed him that he a
had very important and dangerous
duty to perform. and wanted to know
If he had the courage to undertake a
task of that kind. Young Hegwer said
that IF It was in the line of duty as a
soldier, that when he enlisted he did
not expect to shirk any of the duties
that were required Of him, and that he
was ready to undertake anything that
was possible.
The next morning young Hegwer
was seen crossing the Missouri river
on a ferryboat, making his way in a
northeasterly direction, so that he
would arrive from the north when he
got to the plantation; that there
would be no suspicion that he had
been sent from Atchison. His dis
guise was perfect. No one would sus-
pect him as being soldier. 1t was
almost dark and raining when he ar
rived at the old plantation. When he
got to the gate he was met by an old
gray-haired man about 10 years old,
very pleasant and polite. Young Heg-
wer babe him the time of day, and in
CURED if it would be possible for him
to stay all night that he was very
tired, wet and hungry, and that he
had come long way that day and
was not able to go much farther
Young Hegwer stated that his folks
lived In Doniphan county, Kan, imme-
diately west of st. Joseph, Mo-; that
his Oldest brother was with the rebel
Gen. Price, somewhere In southern
Missouri, that his father was dead
and his mother was rather cross to
him, and that he had run away from
home. That pleased the old gentleman
very much, and he took a very hearty
laugh over it. He took him in the
house, gave him something to eat.
That night about ten o'clock came
couple OF men with mule team. Hcg-
wer went out and helped them to put
I'D the team. There we're some empty
boxes and cans In the wagon that In
dicated milk, bread and food had been
In them. The leader Of the two asked
the old gentleman, Who's that strip

clergyman with $500 year for nine
children, and frugality and right liv-

useful rat trap was missing. The
father gave orders that when it was
found it should be brought directly
to him. A few days afterward during
service, when the sermon was in full
swing, there was a Gathering up the

of them said simply: Father, here's

DISCOVERY OF DRESDEN CHINA.
Valuable Secret Entirely the Result
of an Accident.

Dresden china was discovered
through accident John Frederick
Bottcher was a chemists assistant in
Berlin about 1900. At that time all
potters were endeavoring to discover
means of making translucent china,
but in vain.
Bottcher, having fallen under sus-
picion of being an alchemist, was
obliged to leave Berlin and take refuge
in Saxony Augustus ii. was elector
Of Saxony, and in hope or finding the
secret of the philosophers stone he
placed young Bottcher in a laboratory
with orders to carry on his expert
ments. While working along the lines
designated by the elector, Bottcher
surprised himself by discovering some
thing akin to Chinese porcelain. He
was at once hidden by the king to
pursue the quest of making china. He
might have continued his endeavors
for many years, had not an accident
given him the key to the translucent
china.
A wealthy iron founder was riding
on horseback near Aue, in Saxony,
when he noticed that his horse lifted
its feet with difficulty. On examina-
ton he found that the animals hoofs
were filled with a peculiar white ad-
hesive clay. More out of curiosity
than anything else, he took some Of
this clay home with him, and succeed
