$1,000 FOR A DRUG.
Big Sum Spent for Anti Toxin with
Which to Fight Diphtheria.

1t is estimated that more than "a
thousand dollars have been spent by
Mercer county people during the
past four weeks for anti toxin, the
drug which conquers diphtheria. Two
druggists in Princeton report the sale
of almost this amount. But the sum
is small compared with the good it
has done. AS result of it's use.
many lives have probably been saved.
The disease is now dying out.
The greater part of this was used
among the children of the north part
of the county. Diphtheria broke out
there some weeks ago and spread
rapidly. Many schools were closed to
prevent it spreading, and public gath
erings were almost suspended. While
some two or three children died as a
result of the disease, in most cases
it was in light form. Quick action
was taken by the county board of
health and the physicians, and it was
soon under control.
The Union school in Harrison town
ship began Monday after three
weeks suspension. The Middlepoint
school in Lindley township also open
ed Monday, as did several others
which had been closed.-Princeton

employment or maintenance for at
least six months. This plainly shows
that the powers conferred upon the
board refers only to the sentences
| imposed under the indeterminate
provisions of the act which are linn
tied to crimes committed after July
4, 1907, by the express term of the
act. Many other provisions of the act
also show clearly that such was the
purpose.
The repeating clause, section 10,
provides that this act shall not OPP
crate to repeal any of the laws now
in force insofar as they may relate to
persons that have heretofore been
convicted of crime under the laws
of the state of Iowa or to any person
who shall hereafter be convicted of a
crime committed on or before the
4th day of July, 1907
''1t would seem improbable that a
board of parole created solely to act
with reference to the indeterminate
sentence law, should be give power
to act with reference to other SEN
fences without any reference what
ever to such other sentences
''It would also seem unreasonable
that an act intended by it's terms to
apply only to crimes committed sub
sequent to July 4, 1907, should have
a retroactive effect without specific
statement Of such intent. That the
act taken as a whole was intended to
apply to punishment of those crimes
committed subsequent to July 4,
1907, seems evident. Indeed, such
was it's specific statement. 1t was not
necessary to repeat at the beginning
of each section this is to apply only
to the punishment of crimes commit
ted subsequent to July 4, 1907
such language would be understood
if the act is coherent whole, and
not series of disjointed fragments
Even if the later is the condition the
repeating section would prohibit the
application of any of the terms of the
act to crimes committed prior to the
said July 4, 1907.
''It follows that the act of the
board of parole, in granting Leroy
Ware parole from a sentence i'm
posed for crime committed before
July 4, 1907, was unauthorized by
law. The said defendant is therefore
ordered recommitted to the peniten-
tiary at FIT. Madison to serve out the
remainder of the sentence of this
court imposed March 10, 1908, and a
mittimus is ordered accordingly
In accordance with the order of
the court Ware started to Fl Madi-
son penitentiary at once with his
wife. The question at once arose as
to whether Warden Sanders could re-
ceive him officially and confine him
over the order of the board of parole.
The attorney for Ware, Mr.. Living
ston, was in the city last night to in
terview the board today. The board
has communicated with the warden
advising him to confine Ware in
prison.

How it Works.

Once a farmer had 1900 bushels
of wheat, which he sold, not to sin
gle grain merchant, but to 800 diff
ferent dealers, bushel apiece. A
few of them paid in cash, but far the
greater number said it was not con-
venient then; they would pay later
A few months passed, and the mans
bank account ran low How is this?"
he said, my 1900 bushels of grain
should have kept me in af11uence
until another crop is raised, but l
have parted with my grain and have
instead only vast number of ac-
counts, so small and scattered and 1
cannot get around and collect fast
enough to pay expenses" So he post
ed up public notice and asked all
those who owed him to pay quickly,
but few came. The rest said, ''Mine
is only small matter, and l will go
and pay some of these days" forget
ting that, though that each account
was very small, when all were put to-
gether they meant large sum to the
man. Things went on thus. Tie
man got to feeling so bad that he fell
out of bed and awoke, and running
to his granary, found his 1900 bush
els of wheat still safe there. He had
been dreaming. Moral-That day he
went to the publisher of his paper
and said: Here is pay for your pa
per, and when next years subscrip-
ton is due you can depend on me to
pay promptly. l stood in the posi-
ton of an editor last night, and l
know how he feels to have ones hon
estly earned money scattered all over
the country in small amounts"

$4,000 TO FIX MONUMENT.
Take That to Repair Iowa Shaft at
Shiloh.

1t will cost $4,000 to repair the
Iowa monument OH Shiloh battlefield,
which was blown down in recent
storm, according to Cornelius Cadle,
chairman of the Shiloh National Mill
tary Park commission. Governor Car
roll received from Mr.. Cadle a copy
OF his official report of the storm
made to the war department.
In regard to the Iowa monument
the report says that two tons of the
upper bronze work is destroyed, as is
the figure of peace at the base, leav-
ing the die and inscriptions intact.
He estimates the cost of replacing at
1000 but there is nothing to show
whether the government will do it..
The original cost of the monument
was $4,000.

Now that the cold snap has hur-
ried many heating stoves into posi-
ton people should look well to their
chimneys. A careful inspection at
this time of the year is worth
great deal more than the expense
entailed and may mean the saving of
valuable property from destruction
by fire. Many chimneys have bad
cracks in them that cannot be de-
tected from the outside Sparks
from roaring stove fly out of these
cracks into the woodwork surround
ing the chimney and q fire Is started
that nearly always results disas-
trous for the reason that it burns
entirely through the roof sometimes
before the fire is discovered. By
that time the interior of the upper
part of the house is aflame and has
gained such Roadway that it is hard
to control. Examine your chimneys.

FayOrite with Newly Wed.

"As at least sixty-five newly married
couples have registered here in the last
month l think the Hotel Gotham breaks
the record in that line of business" said
one of the New York hotels managers
yesterday.
THE demands OF these young couples
are both amusing and exacting, for some
of them have not been accustomed to
making their own travelling plans, and
consequently they are not always fa-
miliar with the practical side of a large
hotel. Invariably their engagements for
rooms are made weeks in advance, and
the greatest secrecy is asked for to
prevent the intrusion of inquirinG
friends. We are glad to make every
provision for their comfort | have
known many young couples well known
in society to be safely ensconced in one
of our luxurious suites for weeks and
their identity in the hotel unsupported
by any one outside the Office staff. al
though their romantic marriage had been
heralded all over the world. Perhaps we
will catch it in the spring. l say, the
more the merrier."

Attacked by a Huge Rat.

When John Reedy reported late for
work the other morning at the power
plant of the Richmond Light and Rail
way company, in West New Brighton,
s. l.. he accounted for his hardness by
telling his fellow workmen a story of
having been attacked by huge rat soon
after he had eft his home, in Elizabeth
street, New Brighton. After pointing
to his torn clothing and exhibiting the
scratches on his hands and face, Reedy
said that as he was passing Hamilton
avenue and Elizabeth street, in front of
st. Vincent's hospital. he was nearly
knocked down by heavy blow in the
back. Turning quickly, he said, he was
sure he would be face to face with a
holdup man, but instead he was sur
prised by another attack, more vicious
than the first, from a large rat, equal in
size to a house cat. 1t was a few min
utes before dawn when the fight COM
menced, but Reedy said that by the time
he had put the rat TO fight the sun was
well up in the heavens, and he distinct
~ remembers seeing his foe sink pain
fully behind the hospital and disappear.

MAKING A TIGER SIT DOWN.
Methods Used to Train the Beast for
Show Business,

Fifteen feet of slack rope We're permit
ted the auimal as the trainer directed
him once more to the seat and once more
he failed to understand. Then the order
TO hoist was given, and, as the men
pulled, the tiger felt the collar tighten
about his neck. His head gradually was
lifted up, until his forelegs left the
ground and he pranced on his hind paws
With the fear of strangulation and the
instinct of preservation his brain be
came mental mud-puddle. He beat
the air with his fore paws, whirled
squirmed. and wriggled, in vain effort
to get out of the collar that clutched his
THROAT. Every movement of his body
brought him nearer to the seat over
which hung the block and tackle. When
he reached ii an assistant grabbed his
tail through the bars of the cage and
pulled him toward the little stool while
the trainer punched him against it with
the iron bar
Swing him clear of the ground" he
called. We'll make him take that seat.
All together nowr' and as the men laid
their combined weight on the rope, the
big cat was hoisted until his hind legs
dangled two feet above the foor,
dancing a madmad's jig. The helpless.
choking brute fought the useless fight of
a fish out of water Had not the muscles
| over his throat been like solid rubber
tires he would have strangled as he
curled his body into coil, trying to es-
cape the weight that hung from his
own neck.
With much pushing and hauling the
struggling beast finally was landed on
the seat; but the moment he felt sup
port under his feet he leaped for the
floor. He was met by the trainer, who
Walloped the sore, sensitive nose with
the hickory handle of his whip, and fol
lowed this up by firing the burning
powder of blank cartridge straight into
the nOstri. The tiger turned to run. bur
the trainer yelled, Lift him boys" and
as the crew threw their weight on the
rope the beasts head and fore legs We're
yanked from the ground, and he pranced
along for few steps with only the
claws of his hind feet touching the
| boards. When the momentum of his
| own body had carried him clear of the
| floor, he swung back, suspended in the
air, more like a lifeless tiger-skin than
a blood filled beast of flesh and siuew.-
