While the same judges will conduct the two elections at the same time and places, the voting will be dis tinctly separate. Each voter will be gwen separate ballots one containing the names of the presidential electors and the congressional nominees and the other containing only the names of the nominees for county and probate judge. It will simply be casting two ballots at the same time.
 A tragedy was only narrowly averted Sunday evening. Arch Hammonds, a teamster of near Boston, while engaged in a quar- rel with Tom Brown, the local butcher, drew his pistol and fired. Brown grasped the pistol just as Hammonds pulled the trigger, and so escaped with his hands being badly powder-burned. We understand that both armed themselves, but fortunately they never met. Hammonds, who was in an intoxicated condition, en- tered the butcher shop, and be- gan using offensive language. MT. Brown, who was busy with his work, ordered HammondS to leave, and without putting aside large knife with which he was working, he is reported to have followed Hammonds to the out side of the door where the shoot ing occurred. It Is supposed that the drunken man nisinter- preted Mir. Browns action and immediately fired. Hammonds afterwards escaped from an off, cer who undertook to arrest him. -Pettigrew correspondence in St. Paul Mountain Air.

COOPER MET USUAL
 SUCCESS IN P|TTSBURC
Received Thanks from Hundreds While in
 the Smoky City.

The following article, taken from the Pittsburg Press, describes the re. suits of l.. T. Cooper's visit to that city, and the effect of his new prepara- tion as told by people who had become convinced of the soundness of Cooper's theories with regard to the human stomach.
 Cooper believes that the human stomach in civilized races has become greatly weakened. He claims that most i'll health of the present generation is due to this fact The article is as fol- lows:
 "L. T. Cooper is meeting with the same astonishing success in Pittsburg as in other cities. For the past few days many thousands of Pittsburg peo- pie have called at his headquarters to talk with him.
 "Cooper's prophecy, made upon his arrival, to the effect that before he left Pittsburg thousands would realize that his theory is correct and would come and thank him for what his medicine had done, is rapidly being borne out.
 "On Monday an astonishing number of people called to express their grati- tude to MT. Cooper. Judging from what some of these people had to say to a Press reporter, when interviewed,

NEW RAILROAD SIGNALS.
German Device to Catch Engineers Attention on Approaching Signals.

German Device to Catch Engineers
 Attention on Approaching Signals.
 Germany recently has been having its share of the same epidemic of rail- road disasters which aroused the American public year ago, and the large number of accidents which were traced to the failure of engine drivers to see signals has caused the Prussian railway administration to adopt a new signal apparatus. The feature of the new system lies in the warning given the engineer that he is approaching a signal about no yards before the sig nal itself is actually reached. says the New York Times. This is accomplish ed by the use of an electric cab signal system which rouses the drivers at- tention by ringing a bell and exposing white slide directly before his eyes in the cab. With his attention thus stimulated the driver will have no ex- cuse for running by signal in fog. This combination of outside and inside apparatus does away with the objec- ton railroad men have made to signal devices before the engineers eyes in the cab. which they believed would tend to make him pay less attention to the line of road stretching before him. Watching from the locomotive is ab- solutely necessary for the safety of the train and would gradually be left un- performed If attention was distracted entirely to the little signal apparatus in the cab.
 The apparatus now used in Prussia on several railroads is as follows: At fixed distance from the signal post two parallel iron bars with a small space between them are mounted along the track for several yards. There is attached to the locomotive an arm which carries bristly broom made of pliable copper wires. The passage of this broom between the iron bars pro duces contact which is intense and free from concusslon An electrical &C., tion follows upon the mechanism fin the cab. a bell sounds and a white slide replaces a red. The sign remains plainly visible to the eye until the en- gineer presses button. He knows definitely that a signal is to be ex- pected and if he cannot clearly make out the order intended will stop the train.

LONG TRIP TO FIND LUMBER.
Russia Gave Australian Firm Conoes-
 sion on Siberian Timber Lands.

Russia Gave Australian Firm Conoes-
 sion on Siberian Timber Lands.
 An Australian corporation recently received a concession from the Russian government to take out 30,0O0000 feet of timber year from forest in ST. beria, 900 miles from Vladivostok, to be delivered in Melbourne, Australia, approximately 5000 miles away and nearly three times the distance from New York to San Francisco.
 It is likely that no numbering oper- ation of recent years more strongly H. lustrates the pinch in the timber sup ply in all parts of the world, says a forest service bulletin. In the news of the concession, told in an American lumber journal, is the suggestion of the difficulty that all countries may have to encounter in getting the wood which they need in the future. Every and farther afield and cutting trees which, in former times of abundance, they passed because of the inaccessi- bility of the forest.
 In taking out the Siberian timber the Melbourne lumbermen will have to ship the entire years cut in July, Au- gust, September and October, for dur ing the remainder of the year there is no open water at the point of shipment. What makes this unusual feature of transporting bulky logs 5000 miles quite feasible is that such unmanufac- tured stock is admitted free, while there is heavy duty on all manufac- tured wood brought into Australia, the duty on lumber, for instance, being nearly $5 thousand board feet. At Melbourne new mill is being erected to manufacture these logs into dressed stock, such as flooring, ceiling and Oth- CT products, as well as into lumber.
 These Siberian operations differ from the numbering methods in the United States in that in this country it is pos sible and customary to have new mills conveniently near the place of produc- tion, though, with the continually de- creasing supply, the larger mills often find 1t profitable to haul their timber by trans and railroads many miles away from their saws. Forest experts in this country say that the hope of the United States for steady supply of timber lies in the application of fores- try to all timber lands, private and public, and the careful study of the economical and better utilization of product. Even so. a severe shortage in twenty to twenty-five years must be expected

WORLD PEACE MOVE,

Plan Proposed For Making Friends of All Nations-Younesters of Japan and America to Begin Movement That It Is Hoped May End Wars.


 A movement for international peace was recently launched at Stamford, Corn. by Wilson l.. Gill, IL. D., presi- dent of the American Patriotic league, in which President Roosevelt, former President Cleveland and many other prominent men are interested and the offices of which are at30 East Twentieth street, New York. After the close of the Spanish war MT. Gill was general supervisor of moral and civic training in the public schools of Cuba under commission from the United States.
 Briefly the plan is to establish cor respondence between children of the public schools in the United States and the school children in foreign countries, with the idea of making them better acquainted. It is proposed first to make the experiment with the school chil- dren of Japan and those of the United States. Professor Makayama of the Normal college at Tokyo, Japan, who is now in New York on commission from the Japanese government study ing new educational methods, has been in communication with MT. Gill look ing to the establishment of school cities in Japan. MT. Gill is confident Pro- lessor Makayama will indorse the cor respondence plan. Besides, he says, he has friends of influence in the educa- tional work of Japan upon whom he may rely. He has no doubt of the fu- ture of the movement begun in Stam- ford by the formation of Stamford School Cities, Chapter of the American Protective league, with Superintendent of Schools D. E. Willard as president.
 Representatives of foreign govern ments have approved the plan. One who has given 1t enthusiastic indorse- ment is Ernesto Nelson of 605 West One Hundred and Fifteenth street, New York city, special commissioner of education for the Argentine Repub- lie.
 Mir. Gill says difference in languages will not be insurmountable.
 lhC hoNClhCul 10 pOiitlCai than educational" said MT. Gill the other night, land I believe it is one of the greatest political movements ever launched. The people of Japan are ranking under the belief that they were deprived of the fruits of their war with Russia by interference of the United States in bringing that war to an end. The Japanese government is friendly. but the government is repre- sentative. and the people may change its officers at any time.
 "The only safety, then, is to make the Japanese people realize that we are their friends; that we desire to be friendly with them and expect the same treatment from them. We hope to get that friendship established by correspondence between the children of the two nations. If we can make the children of the two nations friends it is safe to say there will be no war so far as Japan and the United States are concerned"

Says Dog Show Doorkeeper.
 The proudest man in New York the other day was the doorkeeper of the private entrance to the dog show in Madison Square Garden, for he was formally introduced to the little niece of ]. Pierpont Morgan by MT. Morgan himself.
 It was about 5:30 o'clock when Mir. Morgan, accompanied by the little girl, appeared. The doorkeeper, conscious of his personal acquaintance with the financier and also recognizing kin dred spirit in dogdom. gave his wis., itors a hearty welcome. MT. Morgan acknowledged the welcome, and when the doorkeeper deplored that the fnan- cler was not exhibiting his collies this year he was told that Mir. Morgan was also very sorry.
 But want you to meet my little niece" continued the financier, batting the child on the shoulder, flor she. too, is great dog lover, if not-a fancier."
 Pretty democratic" commented bystander as the financier passed on.
 "Who? HimT said the doorkeeper. "He's real man; that's what he is."
 How'd you like to vote for him for presidentT asked the other.
 Huh! He's too big. He wouldn't take that job." said the doorkeeper.

Cooper's claim that the human stomA ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
 One of the most unusual statements was made by MT. C. w. Woods, of 103 South Highland Street. He said: For four years my wife was in very poor health. She was weak and thin, with a hectic flush and cough. Physicians said she had consumption, and was inclined to believe them. It certainly looked as though her days were num- bered, and there appeared to be very little ground for hope.
 Shortly after MT. Cooper came to Pittsburg began to hear of wonderful results that had been obtained by per- sons who had tried his medicine, so T. got some for my wife. She had takeH it only two days when she was relieve6 of a tapeworm Az feet long. She be. gan to improve immediately-has gain. ed seven pounds since she began talk ing the medicine. She feels splendid and looks very much better. If any one doubts this statement would be pleased to have them call at my house and verify it. ."

 The ambition of Dr. Charles Me Cutcheon's life seems destined to be fulfilled. The doctor Is an English man who has lived in Tacoma. Wash. for many years. It was always hIs great regret that the United States had no song birds such as are found In hls native country. By the merest chance the doctor discovered that the skyIarks. linnets and buIIfinches would thrive in the climate of Puget sound. and he made arrangements during a visit to Liverpool two years ago to have birds sent to him every year for five years.
 He brought over the first consign- ment himself, constructed an aviary. kept the birds over winter and In the spring turned them loose. The birds strayed around the doctors summer hone at steIlacoom all year and when nesting time cane successfuily raisei their broods.

SILK FROM GRASS.
W. 6. Devery to Utilize Product of the T Rcckaway Marshes.


 William s. Devery, New York's for mer chief of police, is about to produce from the vegetation of the Rockaway marshes a fabric fine as silk, so he says.
 He says this fabric can be used for anything for which the textiles msde from the cocoon are employed. Just what the fabric Is and how 1t is treat ed he declines to say. and little ''apper- tainin' to and touchin' thereon" can be learned beyond the fact that con- pany is to be formed and the looms of France will be brought into competi- ton with q marsh silk which will be only half as expensive as that which owes its origin to the silkworm.
 'Call It." remarked Mir. Devery when asked for details. Well, I haven't dealt with that phase of the question. How would Azelina do? When those Frenchmen get in the race with it they will find it 100 to 1 shot walking into homes of refinement to brilliant f1n- ish. Azellna will certainly be going some if that Is what we nominate 1t. I doE't know but what we might or ganize the Daffy Down billy sIlk com pany. and when everything is in good shape we certainly will give the pub lie q run for its money.
 What is itf Not on your life. There are too many of those bright chemist boys around. and If I went into tho details they would be making 1t. and there would be nothing more in 1t for W. s. Devery. But you can take this from me. and that Is that 1t is a new innovation and superior to anything importedS
