The substitution Of steel for wood
goes steadily on. Beginning with
January l, or Whereabouts, the Ma
tional Lead Company will pack it's
white lead in steel kegs, having de-
cided to abandon the use of wooden
kegs This innovation is made be-
cause the company has concluded that
steel kegs will have many advantages
over the wooden kegs. In the first
place, the steel package does not abb
sorb the oil from the lead as porous
wooden packages do, and there is,
therefore, no drying and caking of
the lead around the edges, making it
possible to remove every particle of
white lead easily from the steel key.
The new steel kegs also will be much
lighter, as well as being stronger than
the wooden ones, and this will effect
a saving in freight charges. Taking
up less room than the wooden kegs,
the new steel package also will save
storage space.

DROPPING FROM THE CLOUDS
Australian Aeronaut Describes How 1t
Feels to Descend with a
Parachute.

How it feels to drop from the clouds
in a parachute is thrillingly de-
scribed in Popular Mechanics by Capt.
Penfold, famous Australian aeronaut.
He says: "Glancing up at your para.
chute to see if the cords are olsen
tangled you grasp your trapeze rope
by one hand, your cutaway line with
the other. cross your legs around your
trapeze bar, collect your thoughts, and
pull the knife. At once the wind
rushes past you the trapeZe seems not
to hold your weight, you fall as If
pushed, unprepared, from a high stage
into the water at the baths. You look
overhead to see the parachute open,
the parachute cloth is dropping in a
bundle to reach you as it were, but
before it does, your weight tells and
pulls the cords straight, the wind
catches under the cloth of your can
opy, you have few anxious moments
as it slowly unfolds like huge UNI
brella and with slight tug as If fish
were running away with your fishing
line you are supported like a feather.
and you experience a feeling of salts
faction and safety. Down you float
to terra firma like a bird on out
stretched wings, and If it is calm
day. your descent is almost vertical
at the rate of eight to ten feet a sec
ond When nearing the ground the
earth seems to rush up to meet you,
and what at height of 1000 feet
seemed a small box in an allotment,
turns out now to be a good-sized
house You reach the ground as II
in free drop from a height of about
four feet"

How to Get a Coonskin Coat.

CoOnskin overcoats are within the
reach of Minnesotans who will spend
a few days in the woods with a coal
oil barrel and some parsnips, accord
ing to j. L. Ferguson, a trapper who
lives in the vicinity of Cass Lake.
IF yol'll go to a timbered district"
he said, sink a coal oil barrel two,
thirds of it's length in the graund, sus-
pend a parsnip over it about foot
from the top and leave it over night,
you should catch at least one coon,
and possibly three. The head of the
barrel must be removed and there
must still be traces of coal oil in the
inside, so the slaves will be slick. The
coon will be attracted by the smell
of the parsnip (there is nothing a coon
likes better); he will climb the out
side of the barrel and in trying to
stand on the rim and reach the sus.
pended parsnip will fall in. There Is
no possibility of his climbing out"

WOULDN'T TAKE MUCH SPACE
Johnny Poe's Fifty-four Pieces Of
Luggage Could Easily Be
Slowed Away.

From a friend of Johnnie Poe, one
of the greatest half backs that Prince
ton ever boosted, the state depart
ment has learned that the adventur-
Gus collegian had undergone siren
uous time in Honduras, but had been
rescued by an American gunboat. The
friend wrote that Poe, who was a
general in command of one-gun bat
terry, struck for the coast when things
began to look black with peace and
there was little to do. He found the
American war vessel and promptly
asked for transportation home.
Sure" said the commander. We'll

MOSTLY MADE IN TEN YEARS
Harriman's Immense Fortune Abso-
lutely Without Parallel in History
of SeIf-Made Men.

The final appraisal of the late f,
H. Hartman places it at value of
$149, 100000 This is more than $780,
100000 over the most liberal estimate
made when it was a matter of specu-
lation. AS rule, when an appraisal
of an estate of great wealth, which
is much talked of, is made, the public
estimate is found to be greater than
the fact. Estates shrink under care
full examination. But in the present
case the contrary has been the fact.
It is much larger than even his init
mates supposed
The wonder of it is that such a
great estate should have been accum-
ulated in the time it was. Mr.. Rookie
feller's great wealth was built up in a
period covering 40 years; that of Mr..
Carnegie in about the same time.
1t took three generations to build up
the Aston and Vanderbilt fortunes to
their present mammoth proportions
The Morgan estate was erected on ac-
cumulations made in a prior genera
ton and the time in which the great
Hill, Kennedy and Strathcona fortunes
were made was not less than 80 years
Yet Mr. Harriman's great accumula
tons were made within a period of ten
years. 1t is without parallel in the
history of self-made fortunes of huge
enthusiastically Eagle.

ALLEN AND WINN
MEET TONIGHT

Little Rock, Feb 19.-There will be
plenty of fireworks at a political
speech making, which will take place
tonight at the Pulaski county court
house, when Col. r. P. Allen of the
Arkansa" railroad co omission and
candidate for reelection III the north
western district, will rect Oscar II.
WI. T.. his opponent, n JOINT debate.
Abou' 2 week ago Col Allen met his
opponen. in Charleston and sprung
on him a certified co)J Of a decree
rs the rope county chanceiy court, in
whic,. VIM was forced to urn over
to his partner one ha'f of money col
lected from an insurau'e company
for gin destroyed by fire, alleged to
have been insured by VIM without
his partner knowing of it. VIM made
no answer there, but now comes out
and claims the suit was a friendly
one and challenges Col. Allen to meet
him in the debate tonight, but wheth-
er he is there or not, advertises he
will handle Col. Allen without gloves.
Col Allen has not made public his
plans for tomorrow night, but the
knowing ones say he will be there with
not only the Pope county document,
but evidence of a much more damag-
ing character to the reputation of his
opponent, all of which will be placed
before the public, to let the voters
decide for themselves which of the two
men they desire to support,

"Plaque" Bothers Enqineers.

The red water plague" is a matter
which is receiving attention from en-
gineers in different parts of the coun-
try, and while they have shed consid-
cradle light on the matter, there is
much yet to learn about it. The trou-
BILE consists of a discoloration of the
hot water with rusty sediment, the
cold water at the same time being
much less affected, although not en-
tirely unaffected. Under the hot wa
ter faucets marble bowls become red
dened and the first rush of hot water
from the faucet after it has been shut
off for few hours has a distinct
rusty appearance. Copper flush tanks
and metal ballcocks are affected seri-
ously where the discoloration of the
water is more marked.

Stanley's Estimate of Leaders.

In his recent published autobiog-
raphy Sir Henry M. Stanley says
The civil war only developed two
first-rank men, and those were Grant
and Lee, but in the second rank there
were many who might possibly, with
opportunities, have rivaled the first
two. I believe if it were put to the
vote of the military class as to which
was the greater of the two greatest
captains of the war the vote would be
cast for Robert r. Lee. Nevertheless
there was something in Grant which
though not so snowy as the strategy
and dash OF Lee, makes me cast my
vote Tor Grant

WHO ARE TO BE
ENUMERATED

and lengthy-printed instructions to
the census enumerators, which have
been prepared by the United States
census bureau, give a clear idea of the
character of the answers expected
from the people of the United States
with regard to the questions in the
population shedule to be carried in
the decennial census April Is next.
All answers are to have reference
solely to the census day. which is
April Is. Persons living on that day,
numerators call, are to be counted
but persons born after April Is are
not to be included in the count. Per-
sons who were single on April Is are
to be reported as single, even though
they have married subsequently and
before the canvasser has called. This
is true, similarly, of persons who be-
came widowed or divorced after April
Is.
The census law provides that all
persons shall be enumerated at their
usual place of abode on April Is.
This means the place where they may
be said to live or belong or the place
VII Oh is their home. AS a rule, the
usual place of abode is not the place
where a person works or where he
eats, but where he regularly sleeps.
The cnumerators arc cautioned, how
ever, that where a man happens to
sleep at the time of the enumeration
may not be the place where he 1egu-
larry sleeps.
There viii be 4 number of persons
having their usual places of abode in
enumeration districts who will be alb
sent April Is. These are to be in
Guided and enumerated after the facts
regarding them have been obtained
from their families, relatives, ac-
quainances or other persons able to
give the information. For instance,
if member of any family in an
enumeration district is temporarily
away from home on visit, or on bust
ness, or travelling for pleasure, or at
tending school or college, or sick in a
hospital, such absent person is to be
enumerated and included with other
members of the family. But son or
daughter regularly living in another
locality should not be counted with
the family at home.
Servants, laborers, or other en-
ployes, who live with the family, and
sleep in the same house or on the
premises, should be enumerated with
the family
The census bureau states that there
will be, on the other hand, a certain
number of persons present and per-
haps lodging and sleeping in districts
at the time of of the enumeration
who do not have their usual places
of abode there. These are not to be
enumerated. 1t must be assumed that
they will be enumerated elsewhere.
The canvassers should not, therefore,
unless it is practically certain that
they will not be enumerated anywhere
else, enumerate or include with the
members of family they are enumer-
ating any of the following classes:
Persons visiting a family.
Transient boarders or dodgers who
have some other usual or permanent
place of abode.
Students or children living or board
ing with family in order to attend
some school, college, or other educa-
ton institution in the locality but not
regarding the place as their home.

frequent clashes between CLAWS and

lawyer complained that the witness
had too many strings to his answers.

the committee was powerless, as the

When medicine effects a sue
cessful treatment in a very large
majority OF cases, and when we
offer that medicine on our own

reasonable that people should be-
lleve US, or at least put our claim
to practical test when we take
all the risk. These are facts which
we want hepeople to substantiate.
| We want them to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone, a medicine prepared from a
prescription OF a physician with
whom catarrh was a specially, and
who has record of thirty years of
enviable success to his record.
We receive more good reports
about Rexall Mucu-T Tone than we

do of all other catarrh remedies
sold in our store, and If more peo-
pie only knew what thoroughly
dependable remedy Rexall Mucu-
Tone is, it would be the only ca
tarrh remedy we would have any
demand for.
Rexall Mucu-T one is quickly alb
sorbed and by its therapeutic effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the
entire mucous membraneous tract,
to destroy and remove the para
sites which iujure, the mem
braneous tissues, to soothe the ir-
ritation and heal the soreness,
stop the mucous discharge, build
up strong, healthy tissue and re-
lieve the blood and system OF dis
