DIME NOVELS FOR THE GRIP

New Works Mayor Tried EN- First,
Then Passed EN- on to Friend.
Mayor George B. Mcclellan Of New
York city has new cure for the grip
which he is recommending to his
friends The discovery is strong
testimonial for the medicinal proper
ties Of the Nick Carter dime novels.
The mayor had been suffering from
an attack Of the grip for several days,
but remained at his desk. He found
that the combination Of the malady
and his work necessitated radical
measures for mental relaxation and
hit upon the idea Of spending q few
hours each day with volume Of Nick
Carter. He found the experiment to
surpass his fondest expectations and
told his friends about>it
An interesting incident followed.
John G. Miiburn, who Is q close
friend Of the mayor, was chatting with
him the other day when he remarked:
II had a startling experience with Mr..
Ledyard today. He has been suffering
from the grip for some time, but has
insisted on remaining at work. went
into his office to inquire about his
health and what was my surprise to
find on his desk several volumes OF
those cheap dime novels written by q
person named Carter-a most startling
habit, your honor"
"Yes.' replied the mayor, II sent
'em to him"

SEASONS OPENING SPOILED.

Many Disappointed at Clear Lake
Confusion as to New Law.
Special to Republican.
Clear Lake, May ia steady and
continuous rain, with rough lake,
greeted the disciples of Isaac Walton"
Saturday. Many of them coming from
distance, felt the disappointment
keenly Still, many ventured out, and
occasionally one could see a bedrageled
fisherman coming up the street with
one or more fine fish to his credit
Discussion is rife as to the meaning
and intent of the revised fish and game
laws. Newapers have printed extracts
purporting to be the law, but they do
not agree. Some of them say that fish
taken in the inland waters Of the state
can not be bought, sold or shipped.
Others claim they may be bought and
sold, but not shipped, either in or out
the state. Prominent attorneys support
the first cause, as being the law. while
Game Warden Lincoln, in a letter to
the markets here, says they may buy
and sell but not transport.

PLEASURES OF THE TABLE.
Abuse in Eating and Drinking is Old
as the Human Race.

Enthusiastic professors expound to
us that we consume food in enormous
excess of our reasonable needs, and
perhaps we do, but We find eating a
pleasant exercise and stick to it, ac-
cording to our various capacities, as
long as we can get food that suits us
and our digestions hold out, writes E.
S. Martin in Harper's. AS for drink,
the habit of using beverages that are
more or less stimulating in their quail
tiles is at least as old as history, and
doubtless very much older Coeyal
with it have been perception of its haz-
ards and warnings against it's con-
tinuance. Hardly any major proclivity
has such bad name, or is battered by
such a fusillade Of arguments and
awful examples. That rum does any.
one any good must seem doubtful even
to its best friend. When you have said
that, though 1T is immensely destruc-
tive to some savages and to crowds Of
civilized individuals, considerable
proportion of the most valuable people
on the earth seem to be able to play
with it without serious damage to
themselves YOU have said almost all
that it is safe to aver. So great a
cloud of computations swarm over
that proclivity that you marvel there
is any life left in it. They do keep
down some of its vigor, so that it is
less destructive than it used to be, and
probably they hope IL time to xiii il
altogether. One could wish that they
might succeed and that it might stay
dead for generation or two, till We
could find out whether the world was
better or worse without it. But 1t is
not being killed. The army OF COM
Functions it maintains is evidence Of
It's enormous vitality. To all seeming.

DIPLOMACY OF OSCAR sTRAUs.

How New Ambassador to Turkey
Helped His Country In Philippines.
Oscar S. Straus, former secretary of
commerce and labor, who has been ap-
pointed United States ambassador to
Turkey, was at Constantinople when
Aguinaldo's forces rose against the
United States government in the Phil
tppines and through prompt action pre-
vented the augmentation Of the insur-
gent ranks by the large Mohammedan
population of the islands.
The Mohammedans OF the Philip
pines recognize the sultan Of Turkey as
the head of their church. Mr.. Straus.
who at that time was the American
minister to Turkey, knowing this, call

as soon as he heard Of the outbreak If

Ito beg your imperial majesty to use
your good Offices to bring the Moham-
medans Of the south Philippine Islands
-Mindanao and the Zulu archipelago
to our side and to restrain them from
joining the insurgents"
But" said the sultan, won't your
country try to take their religion away
from these peopleY
Certainly not, The cornerstone Of
the whole system Of government in the
United States is religious freedom, and,
so far from there being any hostility
to the Mohammedan religion, the case
Is exactly the reverse. AS an evidence
Of the recognition of this by Moham-
medan powers beg to call your maj
esty's attention to the terms of treaty
negotiated more than 100 years ago in
the administration of our first presi-
dent with the hey of Tripoli.''
Thereupon Mr.. Stratus produced a
copy of this ancient treaty, the very
existence Of which is probably not
known by q hundred persons in the
United States, much less the circum-
stances leading up to its negotiation.
The Barbary powers had always de-
clined to enter into any treaty with
the European governments because of
the fact that under them the church
and state were united. and recog-

involved !, recognition Of the Christian
church as an institution. When the
envoy of President Washington pro.
posed the treaty which was afterward
agreed to, the government of Tripoli
declined to consider It. The envoy
thereupon pointed out that. in the new
government across the ocean. ther,
was no recognition of any church. and
a special article was inserted in the
| treaty to that effect. On this basis
the treaty was agreed to.
AS soon rs Mr.. Straus had finished
reading this clause of the understand
ing between President Washington
and the hey of Tripoli the sultan de
clared himself perfectly satisfied and
ready to do what he could with the
Mohammedans In the Philippines. he
telegraphed to one of the Philippine
leaders who happened to be in Mecca
and as result that dignitary left a,
once for the scene of trouble. Here
he laid the sultan's advice before the
other leaders. and the Mohammedans
ranged themselves on the side of the

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, May 17.-Fireman
Storms, of Belle PLANE, was killed,
and Conductor William McEwen, of the
same place, perhaps fatally injured,
when lone engine running north
jumped the rails and turned turtle in
the ditch, two and one-half miles this
side of Joice, at $50 yesterday morn
ing. Joice is about twenty miles north
west of here ON the Northwestern. A
special wrecking train from this city
was on the scene of the wreck within
an hour, and returned Immediately,
bringing with it the injured conductor,
who now lies in a dangerous condi-
ton at the Story Hospital. He will
lose one leg and may not recover.
With Engineer Milton Quigley, OF
Belle PLANE, at the throttle, the lone
engine was running extra, north, over
the division. They left here behind the
morning flyer, north bound, and were
running at a high rate of speed, when
the engine, which was going back
wards, leaped from the rails on dan
gerous reverse curve. The monster To-
connective jumped clear of the track
and turning over in midair, landed in
the ditch on its side. Engineer Quig-
ley miracuiously escaped injury, but
Fireman Storms was caught and in
stantly killed under the engine. His
body was not recovered from tho
wracll for several hours.
Fortunately for the Northwestern
the big freight engine plunged clear Of
the track, and did not tear the rails OF
ties in the least. This left the road
open to traffic in spite of the wreck
and none of the trains were in the
least delayed. The lone engine was
running north to get an extra freight
south bound, from the end of the di-
vision. Northwestern lrainmen of this
city know all of the Belle PLANE mer
who We're in the wreck. They say thai
the reverse curve near Joice, where the
accident occurred, is one of the worst
Oh the division, and that the wreck is
not surprising. in view of the fact thai
the engine was going backwards ant
at a high rate OF speed. Damage Il
the engine was not extensive, and il
was set back on the rails and hauled
to the shops in this city for repairs.
