Report Says Roosevelt Will
Finish Digging the Pan
anna Canal.

New Orleans, La, Sept. THAT
ex-President Roosevelt is to take
charge OF the work on the Panama
canal when he returns from Africa,
is reported in official circles in Pana-
ma, according to a statement Of T..
w. Harrison of Columbus. Ohio, at
tached to the engineering department
at Panama, who has just arriver here
from the canal zone.
There is no dissatisfaction with
the way the canal is being dug, said
Harrison, but the report has come
from authentic circles that Presi-
dent Taft has already arranged with
Roosevelt TO go to the isthmus at the
beginning of the year and remain
there until the waterway has been
completed.
Roosevelt is very popular on the
isthmus and would be given hear
ty welcome. Recently the medals
which he recommended for good SER
vice were distributed. He has made
deep study of the canal and is we'll
equipped to take up the work.

Selfshness.

Jones worked so hard and denied
himself 80 much In order to pay his
life insurance that he had neither the
time nor the means to be sick, and he
outlived ali the benehciarles, who were
meanwhile engaged In the relatively
unhealthy business of lying back and
waiting for him to die. Moreover In
thinking of the matter he became con.
WINGED that he had a good deal Of fun,
after all-more fun, indeed, than most.
I'm a terribly selfish fellow" ex,

RAW DRUGS.
Castor Oil Comes 40 Pretty Little
Brown and Black Bsans.

Brown and Black Beans.
Upon going into a pharmacy ana
looking over the mysterious Jars and
bottles and boxes that line the shelves
did you ever wonder where ON earth
all Of the drugs came from and how
they appeared before they were ground
up aud made into oils or dried or pull
verified or crystalllzed into queer
shaped lumpsf Each jar and box
seems to hide some secret which You
Immediately become curious to solve,
How many different lands do they rep.
resent? And, after they leave the Jars
that hold them now, what are they
made intol
Who, for example. would connect a
great pile Of dry, thin twigs, neatly
tied into small bundles, with sarsa-
parilla? These twigs are the creep
ing roots aud rootlets of prickly
shrub that grows In Jamaica, and they
are worth from 10 to 80 cents pound.
Somewhat similar in appearance is
ipecacuanha, which also comes to us
In dry twlgs, which are part Of the
trailing root Of a plant found In the
damp forests of Brazil.
These roots receive no preparation
save drying before they are shipped Off
to the United States. They are packed
In large sacks, and the workmen who
open the bales must beware Of breath
Ing the pungent, irritating dust given
of, which is productive of unpleasant
results If incautiously inhaled.
Castor oil, too, is hard to recognize
In the pretty little brown beans, spot
ted with black and with polished skins,
that arrive In bags from India. They
look far too attractive to suggest the
much hated dose OF our early days.
Aloes, the base OF many nauseous
medicines, may be seen In its crude
form as a solid mass resembling brown
sealing wax, packed in heavy wooden
boxes, from which It is Clipped out
in fakes with chisel aud hammer.
1t Is OF different qualities and prices,
according to whether il comes from
Arabia, Socotra or the West Indies,
and may bring any sum from 81 to
$40 per hundreweight. Aloes is the
juice Of the big feshy leaves of the
plant OF that name. This Juice IL
pressed or evaporated from the leaves
and poured into chests or kegs I'm a
semituid state, hardening presently
Into solid block. Not infrequentiy 1t
Is inclosed in the dry skins of mon
keys and in this strange form brought
to market.
One OF the most interesting of drugs
Is opium, both on account of It's aw-
full potency and by reason of Its great
value. \ case Of opium, about 225
pounds, Is worth S400 roughly. The
case Is OF rough deal lined with tin
and contains Il number OF soft, dark
Jumps, Ike large handfuls of dough
packed very closely together in a
quantity Of dry, chaffy seeds.
The opium which reaches America
Is of two qualities, one for medicine,
the other for smoking, and comes from
Persia and Asia Minor, China and In
dia.-St. Louis Republic.

and is getting along nicely.
Members of the bar of Marion
county assembled this morning at

a memorial service for the late Judge
Boston G.. Young. owing to the un-
avoidable absence Of several members
of the bar from the city, the mem

morning at nine o'clock.
Labor Day was very little observed
in this city Monday. Business during
the day remained practically the
same as on other days and no celebra-
tlon was held in this district. 1t is
planned by the laboring men to have
some demonstration next year IL at
all possible. The recent difficulty in
financial circles is given as the reason
Tor no celebration being held this
year. A number from here went TO
Toledo and other places and joined
In the celebration of the day.

was given surgical attention and

LAzYNESS
Caused Man to Fire a Tene-
ment-- Three Lives
Were Lost.

New York Sept. 7-Charged with
setting. fire to a tenament house in
Hoster street on April 2. 1908, in
which three lives were lost and
thirteen persons seriously injured,
Morris Greenberg, thirty, tailor,
has surrendered to the police of De-
tIoit, Michigan, and asked to be
sent back, according to advices re-
ceived here today.
AS soon as he surrendered to the
Detroit police the New York police
investigated and found that Green
berg had been kicked out OF the
fremont house by his brother. Nor
ris is alleged to have said that his
brother would not keep him, he
would make the government feed
him. He set fire to the tenement, 1t
is believed. expecting to go to the
penitentiary. But when three lives
We're lost he fled.
The district attorney has wired
the Detroit police to hold Greenberg
and will send for him. He is charged
with murder in the first degree.

Central freight train at Queens

flash Of the headlight disclosing the

who refused TO give his name, was
arrested near Quen' Run today on

In looming mlrages distant objects
show an extravagant increase In yer.
teal height without alteration in
breadth. Distant hummocks Of ice are
thus magnified into immense towers
and pinnacles. and a ship is sometimes
abnormally drawn out until It appears
twelve or thirteen times as high as 1t
is long. Rocks are seen drawn up to
ten or twelve times their proper
height. Houses as well as human be-
ings and animals appear in like exag-
gerated shape.
Another form Of mirage is when a
ship or some other object near the
water seems greatly elongated and a
second inverted image meets it from
above.
Sometimes the proper image Of the
object is elevated far above the sea.

Some forms of mirage are lateral as

density OF two contiguous vertical bod

boat has been seen double, the two
images some distance apart.
Persons have been duplicated in the
same way. Any one on a hot day by
placing his eye near to heated wall
may see lateral mirages of objects at
a distance and nearly on line With
the wall.

abound in the southwestern states and

BIGAMIST WILL NOT MAKE
LOVE FOR THREE YEARS
(By Associated Press.)

HONOLULU, July Pr. M.
Baker, of Chicago, who was arrest
ed here May "a on a charge of big
amy upon cable instructions from
Chicago, pleaded guilty and was to-
day sentenced to three years hard
labor in the penitentiary by Judge
Sanford B. Dole. Baker arrived
here on May 1 from San Francisco.
On board the steamer he met Mrs,
Eva E. Wallace, who was EN- route
to the island to marry a member of
a we'll known Honolulu firm. So ar
dent was Bakers love making that
the widow forgot her waiting I'm
ance and promised to become his
wife. They were married immedi-
ately upon arriving 1T Honolulu.
Baker is said to have wife and
child living in Chicago.
