Russian Rea Tnpe.

NWs4AAM kAG0 rape
 There Is in Petersburg a hospital regulation to the effect that every patient who dies within tweny hours of admittanee must be dissected. It ia characteristic of Russian red tap that this regulation was adhered to for several days after the chodera broke out, so that the operating theatera were piled high with dead bodaes which nobody had any time to diasect. that 1t ls impossible to dissect 4eQ corpses daily and the regulation was abolished.
 The victims are buried outside the town. so that the coffins must go by train. Thirty or forty trucks are alled with the coffIns of those who have died q day or so before and two or three passenger solons are put on for the dead peoples friends and relatives. Such a train started yesterday by the MikolaJewska Railway carried iS0 eof- fins. On arriving at the semetery it was found that thirty-four cofxins brought the day before, were still awaiting burial. Though the grave digSers had worked hard till nlghtfal1 1t was impossible to bury all, and tkS rest were piled up for tho nixhf in the cemetery. the mourners waiting there till daylight. afraid that if they went away others would arrive in the morning and get their dead buried first.
 Despair in Cemeteries.
 These scenes are repeated daily and many wait for e couple of days before they see their dead relatives and friends buried. As all the coffins are alike. being painted with tar, and no inscriptions are put on them. very few people know, which box really contains the remains of their dearest ones. The resultt Is that the most terrible scenes of despair and protestatious oc- cur. while the waillngs of women and children i'll the air.
 In the provinces things are no better and disinfection is almost unheard oe m small towns. In one village called Karnkl, in the government of Twer, 47O out of 500 died. It was decided to burn everything, corpses, houses, and barns together. The police came and, giving the thirty survivors time to got away, threw nrebrands into the placa. This drastic measures seemed to be the only way of preventing the epi- demie spreading all over the prov.s ince.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
trchian Tube. When this tube is in
flame d you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness. is the result and
unless the inflammation can DE taken
GU. and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mH-
cous surfaces.
We give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by car
tarrh) that canno: be cured by Halls

Eggs is Eggs.

! Let US sing the praise of the Great
American Hen, who, during the past
year, may well have cackled with pride
over the production of nearly one biz
lion three hundred million dozens Of
eggs Do you realize what that
means? Well listen:
Ii instead of remaining quietly at
home IN Iowa, she had chosen to DEM
onstrate her powers to the universe at
large, the Hen might have laid those
eggs, each two inches long, end to end,
IN continuous chain reaching 23S, SISr
miles up to the moon, back again. and
then more than half way around the
world for good measure-a total of
492, 424 miles of eggsl Furthermore.
II those eggs had been made into one
ometet half an inch thick. that omelet
would easily have covered Manhattan
Island, an area of twenty-five square
miles.
An old Mohammedan legend tells
that King Solomon used to travel
through the air with all his armies en-
a wonderful flying carpet, protected
from the rays or the sun by the wings
OF a host of birds. Now, according to
the poultry census, there are in the
United States about two hundred and
eighty millions of chickens, guinea
fowls, turkeys, geese and ducks of the
poultry voting age, which is three
months or over. If required to furnish
a moving canopy like that of King
Solomon, the barn-yard fowls of this
country, allowing only foot of spread
to each, could easily shadow a space
ten square miles.-Arthur Guiterman

1t is a we'll known fact that Ole j..
Hohle is not only one of the very
best County Clerks who has ever
served Pierce county in that capac-
ity but that he is one of the most
efficient County Clerks in the entire
State. He is a most worthy and
capable representative of the Scandi-
navian element which has done so
much to advance the material inter-
ests of the county, and while an
other has been strenuously endeavor-
ing to compass his defeat at the ap-
preaching primary election he has
been industriously engaged at his
desk in the performance of his Off
cial duties. Mr.. .Hohle is a true
type of the honest, practical farmer,
who was called from his farm in the
town of Martell to the position which
he now fills with great credit to him
self and satisfaction to the people.
The county has never had more
faithful and efficient official than is
Mr.. Hohle, and there appears to be
no reason why he should be retired.

A recent review of conditions in
the canal zone in Panama, conveys
encouraging information concerning
the situation there Work is now
progressing in highly satisfactory
manner, and it is estimated that the
canal will be completed in three and
one half years, instead of six and
one half years. The success of the
project depends largely upon the
sanitary conditions, and a large
force of employees, directed by ex-
perts, is constantly engaged in
maintaining the best possible sys-
tenn of sanitation, the lack of which
made the enterprise failure under
the French management.

Mr.. Allison was prominent figure
in the upper house of Congress, in
which he attained high rank. He
persistently declined to be side
tracked by offers of cabinet posi-
tons, and the people of Iowa stayed
by him to the end.

Francis E. McGovern, the Milwau-
kee candidate for the United States
Senate, is furnishing little diver
sion for the active supporters of
William H. Hatton. The Hatton
boomers are claiming that their man
is the favorite candidate of Senator
La Toilette. McGovern has pricked
that bubble by giving it out cold
that he-McGovern-is LaFollette'
first choice, and bases his claim up
on what he alleges to be the Sen
ator's personal assurance to that
effect. We advise Republicans to
keep out of the squabble by voting
for Samuel A. Cook to represent
them in the United States Senate.
