Fulton, who lived and worked in the early part of the nineteenth century, is given the credit of being the man who demonstrated that steam could be applied to naviga- tion--this, too, in face of the well known historical fact that De Gary propelled vessel by steam in the har- bor of Barcelona in 15A3.-St James, Gazette

Wouidn't Be Fooled Again.

A shepherd once, to prove the qdlcG ness of his dog, which was lying be- fore the fire in the house where we were talking said to me in the middle of sentence concerning something else, '1'm thinking, sir, the COW is in the potatoes"
 Though he purposely laid no stress on these words and said them in quiet, unconcerned tone of voice, the dog, which appeared to be asleep, imme aiately jumped up and, leaping through the open window, scrambled up to tho turf roof of the house, from which he could see the potato field. He then, not seeing the COW there, ran and look ed into the barn where she was and, finding that all was right. came back to the house.
 After a short time the shepherd said the same words again, and the dog re peated his lookout, but on the false alarm being the third time given ths dog got up and. wagging his tail, look ed his master in the face with so com lcal an expression of Interrogation that he could not help laughing aloud a. him, on which, with slight growl, lie laid himself down in his warm corner with an offeuded air. as if determined uot to be made fool of again.--14on don Standard.

DR. J. |. CALDWELL
 ON THE COMMITTEE
Executives of Five States Call Upon Congress to Help fin Reciama-
 tiOn Movement.

Memphis, Nov. 1S.-A strong ap- peal addressed to the Congress of the United States to be presented to that body by committee composed of the governors of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana, calling upon the federal government to appropriate a sufficient sum to complete a typographical survey of the great area of swamp lands sit uated in the lower Mississippi valley, was formulated and unanimously adopted at an enthusiastic meeting Of the Mississippi Valley Drainage and Highway Association, held today at the Business Mems Club. The meet ing was the most important held thus far in the history of the associa- ton.
 Representation on this committee was given to each of the five states interested in the drainage project, the personnel of the committee being as follows: D. E. King, St. Louis, chairman; Missouri, H. e. Sehult, Charlottesville; Tennessee, Judge J. $. Cooper, Trenton; Mississippi, J. c. Kyle, Sardis; Arkansas, J. L. Caldwell, Pine Bluff; Louisville, Col F. l.. Maxwell, Mound.
 The feature of the morning ses- sion was a hriaf hut very intorastin 0 talk by Gov. B. F. Noel of Missis- sipi, who gave emphasis to the opin- ion that great deal depends upon the manner in which the subjtct was placed before the Congress. The gov ernment, he declares, would lend a willing ear to the plea for aid, pro- vided it can become acquainted with l just what is wanted.

Nature Sometimes Makes Mummiss.
 Natural mummification, the chang mg of the human body into dried condition without artificial treatment Is an extremely rare phenomenon. ID a case reported by Hon. s. Wolffsohn of British Honduras, middle aged cooy who disappeared between Jan. uary and March, 1907, was found more than year afterward, on May 6. 1908 iu a corrugated iron hut as perfect ly preserved mummy. The hut, in a somewhat isolated spot at Sibun, was raised on blocks four or five feet above 4la ground and had door and three shutters one shutter being open, while ,ne had fallen out. The body was Aothed in cotton underskirt, dark ersey and duck trousers, two pieces # rope around the neck proving self ,trangulation. The desiccatfOn seem ad to have been favored by combina, .inn ". conditions, the season having l".-; extraordinarily dry and the small ir..i, i..aise'ts"esxiyely hot. though wei, .~i Lated while the body was thin .i. .'seniNied as result of mental siso,.er.

MR.. pENIsoN's PLATFORM.

Mr.. John u. benson, Jr., democrat
lie candidate for representative in
congress in opposition to Representa-
tive c. E. Pickett, has promulgated
the platform on which he bases his
appeal for support.
Mr.. Pickett has put forth no such
platform. No one knows whether
Mr.. Pickett stands on the standpat
platform of loyalty to the Payne-Ald
rich tariff law, or on the Dolliver-Cun
Minis La Toilette Bristow Bever-
idge platform of hostility to the tariff
law. but the presumption is that Pick.
EFT stands on the standpat platform
because he voted for the Payne-Al-
drich law.
No one knows from anything that
Mr.. Pickett has said in this cam
paign or at any other time whether
he is a progressive or a reactionary;
whether, if reelected to congress he
will cast his influence on the side of
those republicans who have broken
with the administration or those who
are holding up the hands of the ad-
ministration. Mr.. Pickett can't blow
hot with the progressives and cold
with the standpatters. He can't run
with the hare and hunt with the
hounds. He must stand for some.
thing or he stands for nothing. Where
does he stand on the important mat
tiers on which Mr.. Denison declares
his position in this frank and full
statement to the voter.-Dubuque Tel

AN APPEAL TO VOTERS.

10 the Democratic Voters of Iowa:
The Democratic State Central Com
mdttee desires to express upon all
loyal Democrats at this particular
time the very important fact that a
campaign fund is absolutely neces-
sary in order to conduct campaign
thls year. There is every reason to
believe that the democratic ticket will
be successful in Iowa this year, but
to bring about that success liberal
campaign fund must be subscribed
and that very soon. Handicapped, as
it is, without funds, the state CEN
tral committee can not do much, but
with campaign fund of the proper
tons that the democrats of Iowa
should contribute, its work will pro-
coed with dispatch and with the
brightest prospects of success at the
November election.
Therefore, in behalf of the commit
tee, we urge every democrat in Iowa
to send whatever contribution he may
feel able to make IMMEDIATELY
to N. F. Reed, Chairman, Observatory
Building, Des Moines, Iowa. 1t mat
tiers not how small your contribu-
ton may be, it will be thankfully re-
ceived and promptly receipted for.
Win you not seend in your contribu
ton TODAY? Help us and we will
help you to victory. Do not lay this
aside and forget it, but ACT AT
ONCE! Thanking you in advance for
your contributions, we remain,
jno. F. Dalton, ON. F. Reed,
Secretary. Chairman.
