after succumbing to more than half a
gallon of anaesthetic remained under
its influence for an hour and at the
end of that time began to crunch hay
as though nothing had happened.
Through blow on the head in his
native jungle, Mogul nearly lost the
sight of both eyes, and the operation
was agreed upon after careful ex-
animation. The big problem was to
tell how much anaesthetic it was safe
to give. The hide of the pachyderm
was so thick that no pulse was obtain
able, and the stethoscope was useless.
By means of a derrick ana harness,
batting stuffed in a cone of brown
paper was used to administer the
anaesthetic. Before the rhinoceros
was put to sleep the fumes nearly
overcame the doctors and keepers. The
operation consumed half an hour. 1t

with Garfield street in North Topeka
and Garfield avenue on the west side
in South Topeka, Logan street and Lo-
gan avenue separated by several
blocks, and still others of similar
character. To add to the jollity of
the occasion there are several streets
that change in name every several
blocks. 1t will help straighten out the
delivery of mail matter.
The paving of Locust street from
Fourth to Eighth avenue can not be
done under a plan of a benefit district
as first proposed but will have to be
paid for as any other paving. This
decision was given the committee by
the city attorney. The benefit dis
trict plan was suggested because the
paving is designed primarily to carry
off the drainage water during the

proved. The plans which will be got

French, director of the art institute.
has discovered that, almost without
exception, the greatest artists and
illustrators are unconscious-or per-

The peculiar form taken by this
trait, according to the art critic, is
the reproduction. in paintings of the
human face or form, of the artist s
own features. In years of observation
of the work of various artists, Mr.
French said yesterday, he has found
the phenomenon recurring again and

GAVE UP WORK BECAUSE OF
HIS WEAKENED CONDITION

Mr.. Earl Mccoy, living at 1906 SO.
Branson Street, Marion, Ind, has
passed through an experience that is
being duplicated every day in every
town and city of any consequence in
the United States. 1t furnishes abun-
dant proof of the correctness of L. T.
Cooper's theory in regard to the de-
generacy of the human stomach, and
shows conclusively the merit
possessed by his New Discovery medi-
cine to restore the weakened system
to full strength and vigor.
Mr.. Mccoy says: For long time
I have been a sufferer from stomach
trouble. 1 was unable to retain any
food and became SO weak and run
down that I was compelled to stop
work. My system was nearly wreck
and I had tried 50 many remedies and
spent SO much money without deriv-

STATE GRANGE MEETING.

a T THE recent meeting of the State Grange
in Dover, the reports showed total
membership in the State OF 1902, an increase of
1872 during the year. Three new oranges were
organized, making total of thrty-one subordi-
nate oranges in the State The finances were re-.
ported TO be in lourshing condition. In recent
wears, with the increasing betterment of condi-
tons among the farmers brought about by the
advanced price OF farm products, the State Grange
has greatly improved in strength. The meetings
OF the grange were largely attended and much in
terest was manifested in the proceedings.
In his address the retiring master, Mr. Hervev
Walker, of this county, who has been an efficient
officer, made several recommendations, among
which were: Federal appropriations for the inn
provement of the highways the establishment Of
rural and general parcels post equitable revis-
ION of the tariff; election OF United States SEN
ators by the people; construction of a waterways
from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic seaboard;
defeat of the ship subsidy legislation; liberal APP
preparations for the establishment OF farm
schools laws protecting legitimate business en-
terprises and pupishng business criminals
These recommendations concern live subjects,
and arc in harmony with the views held by many
who are not grangers. Most people around Viii
mneton. however. favor legislation that would
benefit American shipping. Wilmington was for
merry large builder of ships but the industry
has been tagging. Government ali to shipping
would be direct benefit to Delaware.
The question of Federal highway improvement
is embraced in the general plan for preserving
and improving our resources. A bill providing
for Federal aid to good roads has long been be-
fore Congress. 1t is hardly likely to succeed,
judging by the address of Speaker Cannon before
the Rivers and Harbor Congress the other day.
Mr.. Cannon threw some large stones at the har-
Dor convention and he would not view Federal
aid to good roads with favor
The plan for general parcels post has the sup
port of grangers everywhere, but is being bitterly
opposed by the express trust.
The grangers of course stand for farm schools
and agricultural colleges The drawback is that
these schools are not patronized by the sons of
farmers as one would expect. Many of the chill
dren of the farms still desire education fitting
them for some occupation other than farm life,
and the regular colleges and the commercial
schools gather the sons and daughters of the
farms by the hundreds Notwithstanding the cry
OF, Back TO the farm.
The meeting of the State Grange shows that
the Delaware farmers are more alive than ever
10 their interests At their meetings practical
questions with reference to farms are discussed,
and pointers could no doubt be given to the
Country Life Commission, which is seeking in
formation.
