Rice situation Causes Anxiety.

With surplus of rough rice estima
ted at :, 100000 sacks on the hands OF
the growers, and with mills closing
down and refusing to buy, rice planters
are greatly worried over the situation
in rice. At present deadlock between
planter and miller exists, says st. Louis
Interstate Grocer.
1t is said that, in spite of the cheap,
ness aud general good qualities of rice
as food, the demand is not as good
as it should be. This has been ex.
planned by the fact that the average
consumer is not thoroughly acquainted
with the merits of this grain and the
retailers are not familiar enough with
them to enable them to talk rice to
their customers.
The question that is worrying the
rice grower of the South is how to dis
pose of this big surplus. Among the
ways suggested is that of feeding the
low grade rice to stock. Another is to
conduct campaign of education to the
retail merchants, telling them of the
profits to be made by pushing rice and
giving them talking points SO that they
can interest their customers.
The value of this latter suggestion
lies in the fact that so many customers
appeal to the grocer to tell them tFwhat
to get for a change" 1t is known that
rice can be served in as many, if not
more ways, than almost any other GER
cal, and, if properly pushed, would sup
plant many vegetables, including pc.
tatoes.
The former scheme also has many ad-
Sc
Evans, rice statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture. He is quoted as
saying;
his neighbor intends to do, and in the
meantime interest, fire insurance and
rattage is going merrily on. The price
of rice is lower than any other article
of food and the low grades are selling
much lower than either corn or oats
per bushel. I think the suggestion that
is now much heard discussed among the
growers as means of removing the sur
plus is one. of the best solutions of the
problem. Assuming that there are
67h, 900 acres of lands in the rice area
under cultivation in Louisiana and
Texas, and that there are 100000 head
of stock, such as mules and other do
nestle animals, which are to be fed,
the rice planters would be unwise to
continue feeding high-priced stuffs
rather than the low-grade rices.''
Combating this, economists argue
that better price could be obtained
by pushing the sale of rice through
the retail merchants Of the country
and thus getting their assistance. At
this time of cheapness, say they, the
consumer now bothered with the high
cost of living, would gladly take to
rice as substitute for more costly
food products.

KASPARILLA

This sterling household remedy has
long been recognized as the best and
safest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders of the blood as boils, pimples,
pustules, blotches, sores and cutaneous
eruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
the best remedy for that lack of energy
and the peculiar debility 50 prevalent
during the close of winter and the opening
of spring. For arrangements Of the d.
gestive organs 1t is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ALI
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthy activity. Ita
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion Of the aystem, aiding IA the
processes of digestion and assimilation OF
food, promoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting Sour stomach, ba&
breath, irregularities Of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list Of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesorne
conditions, Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to Inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is 4
strengthening tonic Of the highest value.

CHANGES IN WOMEN.

views OF British Playwright ON New
and Old Types OF Femintnity.
Inc changes that are taking place
IN the character Of woman and her
attitude toward man formed the sub.
lect OF an address delivered by Henry
Arthur Jones, the dramatist. at the
olnner OF the Society of Women Jour.
nalists at the Waldorf hotel.
Woman, like all other animals, he
SAID, constantly changed in response
TO her environment, and certain en-.
Vlronment always produced type ex.
actly ntted to it. In Morocco last
spring ne caught glimpses of the won.

-ousky, fattish faces, stealthily and
mlscnlevously peeriag and grinning
from behind the blinds, ignorant, ami.
mai' sly, childish, inaHe, prematurely
old. Granted the environment. that
was the type of womanhood produced.
IL Is a commonplace to say" Mr..
Jones proceeded, according to the Lon
don Daily Mail, that our civilization.
that wholly new civilization inaugu.
rated only generation or two ago by
railways and electricity, is fast pro.
ducing a different type of man and
woman from anything the world has
ever known. If we ask in what chief
particular the attitude of woman to.
ward man is changing / think the re.
ply would be that she is becoming
more and more the intellectual com.
rade of man.
In the theater women are necessar.
lly our companions and comrades. In
Journalism and in other intellectual
professions women are every day more
and more showing themselves our sue
cessful competitors and stanch and
welcome comrades. In fiction they are
proving themselves our equals in mat.
er-superiors in number. Doubtless,
In this particular art, the art of tic.
ton, they have always been our supe-
riors, though their talent has generally
been exercised rather in the practical
concerns Of life than in writing nov.
els"
Some of the disappearing types Of
women might be regretted. Jane Aus
tens women, Dickens Dora and Agnes,
Thackerays Amelia, George Eliot's
Mrs. Poyser and their counterparts in
real life we're passing away. One type
that specially won his admiration was
the type Of Portia, the wife of Brutus
He hoped nature would sit tight and
keep on producing Portals.
How far our swiftly changing en-
vironment may change our type of
English womanhood we can hardly
pretend to guess. In what direction 1
think we may roughly guess.
Il am prepared to allow that, grant
ed woman could be placed in the exact
conditions, granted we could govern
and enforce those conditions, and
granted an unlimited length of time
am prepared to allow she might be
developed into creature as far su.
perior to man as is that female spider,
who, when the poor male spider comes
timidly up to her to make love to her,

say such development of woman is
conceivable. But I am glad shall not
live to see it."

INTERESTING MINING NEWS.


Work was resumed on the Elk Gold
Bullion property, about one and one
half miles from Elk City, on March /,
and will be prosecuted continuously.
1t is stated that the American Smelt-
ers and Securities company, operators
of the smelter in Everett, are getting
ready to resume operations and has ne
gotiated with the Northern Pacific rail
way with the view to having the line
again opened to the mining camp of
Monte Christie.
Because about 90 per cent of the
mine laborers in Alaska have lien for
the labor they perform, bill indorsed
by the administration to protect the
miner in this respect has been favora-
bly, reported to the house by the terri
tories committee. The bin gives the
laborer a lien on the dump or the mass
of gold-bearing gravel and the gold and
the gold dust therein.
Sale of the Harmon 6 Morrow Bon
ANA property at Elk City to Fred w.
Bradley has been confirmed by the own

the purchasers, and it is believed that
the purchase price is $4O0, 900, the fig

KILLED BY MADMAN
MINISTER SHOT WHILE In HIS
PULPIT AT CHURCH.
Had Just Said He Was willing to Lay
Down His Life for Foreigner,
After Firing -Four Shots at Two Men,
Made His Escape Church People in
Panic-Posse in Pursuit.

Pittsburg, April ia sermon on
Martyrdom," in which Frank Skals,
an editor and prominent mission work
er, had declared himself willing to Law
down his life for the Christian cause,
was followed Sunday by his assassina-
ton in highly sensational manner
and the shooting down also of fellow
church leader, John Gay.
Arm in arm, the two missionaries
were leaving the little Congregational
chruch in Woods Run, suburb, at the
head of more than hundred foreign
ers. A raggedly dressed and collar
less man poked his way through the
crowd, and when he was only a step
behind the leaders he pressed the re-
volver to Skala IS head and fred twice.
The bullets took effect in the Jaw
and temple and in the midst of his fol-
lowers, Skala fell dead.
Gay, who threw up his right hand as
If to ward off the weapon, was struck
first in the thumb and then a second
bullet was buried in his head. He fell
unconscious across the body Of his col
league.
For some moments the assassin stood
over his prey in crazed contemplation
of the deed, fourishing his revolver
while the panic-stricken crowd fled to
shelter behind posts and doorways The
mailman was Jan Radowitch, charac-
ter known to most of the mission for
his shiftless habits, slovenly dress and
radical opinions. A moment before he
had meekly Tead from juvenile leaflets
in the Sunday school lead by Skala,
previously he had sat in back pew of
the church, during the regular service;
and at the commencement of the ser.
vice Skala had shaken his hand in
greeting. In all this Radowiteh had
given no warning of his murderous in
tent.
After the wild fourishing of his
weapon and stamping of his feet on
the bodies he made off and was soon
lost to view.
Mission Crowd Mourns Good Man.
After the mailman s disappearance
the mission crowd reassembled about
their fallen leaders and passionately
mourned their loss. Skala s body was
removed to an undertaking establish
ment, and Gay was taken to st. john IS
hospital. His wound is dangerous, but
it is believed he will recover.
Radowitch Evidently Insane.
None of the church workers believe
that there was any method in RADIO
witeh's madness. He was a man who
had lived at the Salvation Army bar
racks and as charitable object. 1t is
doubtful if he had ever seen Sxala be-
fore today. He is said to have been
detained once at a hospital for exam
ination into his mental condition, but
was released after a brief time.
1t is believed by some that the ser
mon Ska1e preached, with the emphatic
declaration that "any moment God
would want my life, am ready to lay
my life down, - had stirred the foreign
er to the test of his Christian fidelity.
