How to Treat Horses.

Never put a horse wet with rain
or sweat into a stable to dry off.
Rub him dry with a big cloth.
1t is just as important to ventilate
the horse barn as the house.
The moment you see your horse
limp however slightly, examine his
foot. You may find a pebble, which
if it is not at once taken out, may
work into the hoof and cause serious
injury.
Use long straw for bedding, as
short stuff forms into Jumps and
causes discomfort.
Give the horses genuine rest on
Sundays and holidays by giving
them extra feed and attention

May Lose Chinese Business.

The Richford Gazette lis reliably in
formed that there is a strong probability
that the Chinese business now done at
this port will be discontinued shortly,
and the officials transferred to Vancou-
yer and other points. Richford will
deeply regret the loss of the courteous
officials at the detention house, and hopes
may occur to cause "a chan ge
in the plan for their transfer to other
ports"
1t Is umored on the street that the de-
tention house here will be closed Novem-
her 2l, and the business will be done at
Vancouver beginning November 90. 1t
is reported further that the change was
brought about by the American railroads
who claimed that the Canadian Pacific
railroad secured practically all of the
Chinese transportation to the exclusion
of other roads by reason of the contract
with the government that incoming
Chinese persons must be delivered at GER
tain ports of entry and nowhere else.
The first intmation of the change was
published in the Montreal papers, and
has not been affirmed or denied by Off
cials in the service.

The house of Mrs. Eliza Jacobs in
Hardwick was entered sunday morning,
Mrs. Jacobs assaulted and $45 in money
taken.
About three o'clock Sunday morning
Mrs. Jacobs was awakened by noises
down stairs. Thinking it was the cat in
the kitchen, she descended, turned on the
light and there before her stood man
at her desk with his hands on hef roll of
bills
Thinking that she might be able to ap-
prehend him until assistance came, Mrs.
Jacobs grabbed him by the shoulder
The burglar, with his back toward her,
jumped, turned of the light, grabbed
Mrs Jacobs by the back of the neck and
struck her such terrific blow in the
back that she fell unconscious to the
floor
Mrs. Jacobs cries for help and the
scutfie woke other inmates of the house
but before assistance could arrive the
burglar had made good his escape by
dashing through the font door.

Want M ore liqht,

Residents of Elm street between North
Pleasant street and the railroad station
are circulating petition to be presented
to the village trustees requesting that
that portion of the street be adequately
lighted. The petition has been signed by
all the residents in that section. The
street in question, between the two
points named is without a light of any
sort and it is no more than justice to the
residents along that thoroughfare that at
least one electric light be placed there.
A sidewalk is sadly needed ON one side of
the same street.

emulation of gases which must be re-

temporary relief. The repeated use of
such treatments causes chronic irritation

ally brings about an injurious habit

results.

uIrlch Sorensen, Who Dropped $500
Feet In Aeroplane. Promises Bride
to Renounse Ambition.

Broken Bow, Neb.--The ranks Of in
ventors devoted to the conquest Of the
air lost one daring member Thursday
when Ulrich Sorensen, Of Berwyn, ten
miles east of here, was married to the
daughter of wealthy farmer Of that
vicinity Sorensen won fame on June
Is last by going up $500 feet in bal
loon and coming down in an aeroplane
of his own construction.
Instead of gliding gently to the
earth, the aeroplane descended in a
series of somersaults and was de-
molished although the aviator was not
seriously hurt.
Sorensen has since that time been
at work trying to perfect his invention
but he now declares that at the re-
quest Of his bride he has renounced

Attorney-General Admits He Wrote
"Damn Fool Opinion" and Modifies
Same SmiIingiy.

Washington, d. C.-Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham is winning a repu.
tation for good nature. A few days
ago Robert ]. Tracewell, the comptrol-
ler of the treasury, an officer who Ia
the final arbiter of all questions in.
volving the payment Of money out Of
the treasury, marched into the attor-
ney-generaPs office.
"Mr. Wickersham," said he, IT have
called to say that some damn fool in
the department Of justice has given an
opinion here that is all wrong and for
which there is no precedent"
Wickersham took the typewriter
copy of the opinion in his hands, and,
as he perused 1t, his face took on a
grim smile.
"Oh, see," he remarked, slowly; 81
am the damn fool who wrote it."
And the story goes that the at
torney-general was so much impress.
sed with the comptroller's views that
he modified the opinion.

New York City.--Federal pros
ecutors added another important
chapter to the extensive investigation
of alleged frauds in the customs ser.
vice. While new evidence was being
presented to the federal grand jury
with the purpose of obtaining more
indictments, Thomas G. Giddings, an
assistant customs weigher was ar
rested on charge Of conspiracy in
connection with the importation Of
figs.
Shortly before this, William Loeb
Jr., collector Of the port, announced
that he had removed ten more as
sistant weighers, making q total Of
eighty-three men who have been drop
ped from the customs service here
since March 8.
Mr.. Loeb said these removals would
complete the "house-cleaning" which
he has been carrying on since he as
sumed office. No further shake-ups Of
any consequence, for the present at
least, are in anticipation.
Giddings was arrested on an indict-
ment charging conspiracy to effect an
entry at the customs-house on two
lots of figs consigned to Pasah Bros,
importers, from Greece, at less than
their true weight
Mr.. Loeb said in the matter of the
latest ten men dropped that he would
not proceed against them in any
criminal action. He also refused to
give the names Of the men turned
out:
Asked about the ten dropped, he
said:
There are no charges filed against
them. They have just been dropped,

prove the charges legally. In some
cases there was evidence to convince

kapok or silk cotton tree of the trop.
les, with view to ascertaining wheth-

obtained No doubt experiments will
be carried on with the thoroughness
that is characteristic of German re-

take the place of cotton no effect will
be spared in that direction. But a
great many things are to be taken in
to consideration before the superiority
OF kopok can be established. Cotton

BLACK DAMP KILLS ONE
FIFTY MINERS ARE OVERCOME
AT MARION, ILLINOIS.
Excellent Fire Protection is Believed
to Have Prevented Another
Great Disaster.

Marion, ILL., One man, Frank
MARROW, was killed, five others
were terribly burned, almost so were
overcome by black damp and more
than 400 were entrapped by an explo-
sion which occurred Monday morning
in the West Side mine, owned by the
Johnson City Coal company, headed
by P. II. Holland, and located Ave
miles north of Marion.
The explosion, which closed the en-
tries by heavy falls of coal and slate,
entrapped almost every man at work
In the mine. 1t had terrific force and
at first it was thought to be dupli-
cate of the disaster at Cherry, Ill.
Much excitement followed until the
to allow the men to come to the top.
The report reached Marion, and with
in q short time officials, firemen and
mine experts from this city reached
the mine to give assistance in the
work of rescuing men and property.
The excellent fire protection main
tanned by the company is credited di-
rectiy with preventing an appalling
disaster. NARROW, 20 years old, is said
to have been responsible for the ev-
plosion.
He went into q part Of the mine,
where a gas pocket had formed, al
though cautioned not to do so. and
the explosion followed when his pit
lamp came in contact with the gas.
A rescuing party went into the pit,
cleared away the debris and brought
the injured and overcome men to the
surface.
Mine Inspector Thomas Little of
Murphysboro was notified and went
to Johnson City to inspect the mine,
which will be closed down until re-
pairs are made.
The mine is modern one and was
built seven years ago.
