The grip has been unusually
prevalent during the past winter.
and in many cases is likely to be
followed by an attack of muscular
rheumatism. This is the most
common variety Of that disease
and least dangerous. There is no
swelling of the joints and the pain
is not so excruciating as in acute
or inAammatory rheumism 1t
is sufficiently severe to disable a
man however, and every movement
increases the pain. Keep as quite

Missouri Still Hazinq.

Rolla, Mo.-As a result of class ri
valry of several weeks standing,
twenty sophomores of the State School
of Mines were routed out of bed last
night, and, half-clad, were taken from
their rooms and tied to trees on the
campus, where they remained until
daylight, shivering in the nipping at
mosphere. After they had been re-
leased by other sophomores the entire
sophomore class rallied, captured sew
enty-five freshmen, bound their arms
with ropes and chains, and marched
them around town, accompanied by
the school band. School Director
Young was forced to declare holiday
today. as the classrooms were vacant
The trouble arose over the refusal
of the freshmen to obey the iniunc-
tion of the sophomores to wear green
caps with yellow buttons.

Naval Battle Between Comrades.

Vladivostok-An exciting little ma
val battle took place in this harbor
today between the mutinous crew of
a Russian torpedo boat destroyer and
their loyal comrades. The mutineers
finally were subdued, but not before a
number of men had been killed or
wounded. The mutinous boat is the
Skory and she gave fight to the gun
boat Mandschur, the destroyers Gar
sovez, Smiley and Zerditz and the gar
rison of on of the forts manned
by the Twelfth regiment OF
artillery. The Skory soon was
overwhelmed and had to be beached to
save her from sinking. This was not
accomplished, however, before her
guns had done considerable damage
and several officers and men of other
ships had been killed or wounded.
The crew OF the Skory was melted
by agitators, including some Jews who
had managed to get on board. She
steamed out into the harbor with the
red flag flying, and at once opened fire
on the town and forts. A gunboat and
three destroyers went out to engage
her, and, with the aid Of the forts, soon
had the Skory riddled and helpless. She
then turned and ran through the surf
and was beached.
Those members of the crew not
killed or injured were arrested by the
soldiers as they made their way to
land Among the men killed are Cap
tain Kurosch, commander of the tor
pedo boat Ravy, and Lieutenant Stoer
commander of the Skory. Lieutenant
Vassilieff, commanding the Serditz
was wounded Several people in Vlad
ivostok were killed by shells from the
Skory. The town has been declared in
a state of siege.

the plans of the state department
which have Just been put into practice

establishment of the consular service,
1t has been customary to allow a newly

fore leaving America for his post. A
room in the department has been
equipped as complete working Amer.
lean consulate, suitable to transact
the business of an American consul in
any part of the world, civilized or I'M
civilized. Appointees are no longer
permitted to spend that 80 days
period in their own way, but are re-
quired to report every day at the state
department for duty, and to spend a
certain number of hours in this model
consular Office, receiving instructions
and acquainting themselves with
every practical detail of CONSUL
daily work. The best of instruction IL

Deadly Auto Claims Another.

Denver.-While attempting to dodge
a speeding auto near Fifteenth and Cur
tbs streets d. Y. Wheeler, veteran
salesman, and known to every druggist
in the West, was struck by an automo-
bile and sustained injuries that proved
fatal.
Those who occupied the automobile
were Albert Buchholz. 2727 Marion
street, Mrs. Martha Jones, 1852 York
street, and her mother, Mrs. D. w.
Jones.
Buchholz became frantic when he
saw the aged mans injuries. Mrs.
Jones and her mother tainted and had
to be given medical assistance.
Wheeler's skull was fractured. He
was taken to ST. Luke's hospital, where
he died
For several years Wheeler had an
Office at 312 Charles building, repre-
senting the Richardson Drug Company.
Buchholz. who was operating the
machine that killed Wheeler, says he
saw a man dodge red auto and then
walk in front of his machine. 1t was
impossible for him to slacken speed
Buchholz said, and claims the accident
was unavoidable.
Wheeler was fifty-eight years of age.
He had made his home in Denver while

Paratfine Wax at Florence.

Florence, Colo.-The United OIL
Company has just completed the erec-
ton and equipment OF a large wax
works and lubricating oil department,
which from now on will be operated
in connection with the refinery. Today
the first cake Of pure refined paraffine
was nodded. 1t is the first made in
the state and marks the advent OF a
new industry for Florence.
This department at present consists
of two buildings, one of which is 240
feet long and 80 feet wide. with a
most commodious storage room in the
basement. In this building the watts
for boiling the oil are stored. Another
building almost as large contains the
freezers, separators and the hydraulic
presses.
After the crude petroleum is treated
at the refinery and the coal oil and
gasoline removed, 1t is pIped into watts
contained in the first building men,
toned and subjected to a heating and
agitation process which thoroughly
mixes it.
From here 1t Is taken to the freeZ-
ers, which solidify it into paraffine. 1t
then goes to the separators, which re-
move the most of the oil from the
wax After this occurs 1t is again sub
jected to heat and passed through
powerful hydraulic presses, arranged
with numerous compartments contain
ing finely-woven and tough cloth. which
removes every particle OF wax from
the oil. The wax is then passed into
refining machine and comes from
there perfectly pure and as white as
snow.
The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1907-11-07

Coincident with the centennial ami
versary of the launching of Fulton's
steamboat Clermont is revived the
legend that the boiler of the boat was
made from copper cents. The early
copper coins of the country were, as
are the gold coins of the present,
worth their face value as metal. 1t
frequently happened that the easiest
way, and not a costly way to get cop
per for use in the arts. was to collect
the coins and melt them. There is no
record, SO far as known. of where
Fulton did get the copper for the
boiler, but when coin collector at
tempted to secure cent dated 1893
he discovered that cents of that date
were rare, and that it was not much
easier to find cent Of 1904, yet more
than 100000 cents were coined in 1904
and nearly million in 1893.
