ponIon de vIneennes Res.0red.

The famous Donjon de de Vincen- nes, which has played no small part in the history of Paris. is shortly to be opened to the public This wonder of medieval architecture-it is stone edifce, dating almost entirely from the early fourteenth century has for many years been little better than a military barracks. but thanks to the society which calls himself "Amis de vincennes." the military au- thoritines have consented to give up the chateau, with it's chapel. towers, and remarkable walls. The i've floors of the donjon are now being freed of the old military fitting, har- nesses, and old arms which encum- bered them, and the magnificent stair way, the prisons, council chamber. in- quisition chamber, and apartment of Charles V. are being restored to their former condition. It Is not proposed to turn the donjon into any sort of museum, but simply to leave 1t free to public inspection as one of the most remarkable architectural monuments to be found near Paris.-Parts Cor respondent London Globe.

VOW CAUSES GIRLS ILLNESS
WIIIfuI Girl Took to Her Bed Ten Years Ago and Can't Leave
 1t Now.

Alton, nl.-When Miss Alice Mundy disappointed and heart sore because her mother forbade her communicat- Ing with her flance. took to her bed. vowing that she would never arise until all objections had become re- moved, Mrs Mundy thought 1t was a girlish whim and that in the course of a very short while the attachment would be broken.
 The years have elapsed since then. and not once has Miss Mundy placed her foot to the floor. Now she is un- able to arise, even if she would. Total lack of exercise has so weakened her physically that she has practically lost the use of her hands or feet, and the muscles have become so weak that they now refuse to obey the command of her brain. even were she inclined to command them.
 The nervous system has now be- come affected. and a physician makes daily visits to the Mundy home. and does what he can to relieve the most remarkable case of nervous prostra- ton that has ever come under his ob- servation It is feared now that the girl Is hopelessly i'll.

Salt on French Roads.

AS a general rule the roads in and around French towns are tarred at the commencement of the summer in order to abate the dust nuisance It has. however, been found that tar. Sl- though excellent in the case of ma cadamized roads, is of little or no val ue where car lines exist and paved street crossings intersect the roads in every direction, as tarrtng cannot be carried out on stones.
 The authorities, passing their action on the well-known hygrometrical prop critics of common salt, have made test of its value in laying the dust. Twenty yards of roadway have been sprinkled liberally with salt and then watered freely If the results are sat isfactory, salt will be used throughout the town of Havre. 1t being impossi- ble to tar the majority of the streets as they are paved with rough stone blocks.-From Consular and Trade Reports.

PREACHER SAYS 0. K.
BUT BROTHER HAD ALREADY PUNCHED MIR. NEWLYwED.
Not Knowing of Couples Marriage. Brides Brother Finds Pair in Home of Another Sister and
 Trouble Begins.

Salem, Ark.-Torn from his brides arms by her brother. who did not know they had been secretly married, and severely beaten before he could explain. Frederick Bingham. young business man of this place, had,to re- sort to heroic measures to save his life. Late at night he was compelled to walk partly undressed to the home of the clergyman who had said the marriage ceremony.
 While he made his rather unpleas- ant Journey to get confirmation or his story of the wedding. the brother, Del Hall. trudged along at his heels with a revolver ready for instant use.
 For some time Miss May Hall and young Bingham had been sweethearts. Objections of the girls parents pre- vented a wedding until the pair de- cided they would be married secret ly. Miss Hall took a married sister into her confidence and the minister who oficiated was bound to secrecy.
 Several days ago the married sister went away from her home. Before starting she suggested that Mrs. Bing- ham might keep house for her. The girl was packing some clothing to go when her mother entered the room aind asked her what she was doing.
 "Oh, Fred and I are going out to sisters until she comes back" the girl said absent-mindedly.
 She realized the slip of the tongue at the look of horror upon her moth CTS face. But it was too late then. so there was nothing for her to do but fess up. There were tears and re- proofs and finally forgiveness, and then the bride and her husband start away for a little while.
 In the meantime the sisters bus band had met Del Hall and had told him that he and his wife were going away for a little while.
 "If you don't mind, Del" he said you might run up to the house and sleep there so you can look after things"
 Why. certainly. I'll be glad to- the editors son replied.
 Del was detained downtown lateI than he expected By the time be reached the sisters home MT. and Mrs. Bingham were preparing to re tire The young man noticed hgh1 and he slipped quietly into the house to find out what was going on in the absence of the owners
 When Del saw his sister and Bing ham he did not wait to ask for ex plantations. He seized the girl anC threw her into another room TheT he picked up a chair. started fol Bingham and. knocked him down seV eral times.
 Leaving the bride behind them. th' two men went to the preachers home Bingham but scantily attired and Hal carrying his revolver. The preache readily confirmed the story of the SC cret wedding.

Every cook book prints pictures showing just how the different cuts of meat ought to look. and the housekeepers who are green at buying bring them along to go by.
 Such people are enough to drive you crazy They look first at the pic lures, then at the meat They say must be trying to cheat them because the piece of beef call sirloin looks more like the picture of rump steak.

DISCOVER A NEW RACE
EsKIMos FOUND WHO ARE SCAN.
 DINAVIANs IN APPEARANCE
Explorers In Canadian Arctic Regions Visit Tribe Who Have Never Be- fore Seen White Man or
 Indian.

New York.-A race of people who had never before beheld white man or an Indian has been discovered in the arctic regions of British Columbia by Vilhjmar Stefansson. leader of the American museums scientific expedi- tion which left here in April. 1908. according to a letter received from him in Brooklyn. In his letter, which Is dated Mouth of the Dease River, October IS, 191O," and is the first in- telligence received from the party within a year, Stefansson says:
 We have discovered people in a region supposed to be uninhabited. and have lived a few months among people who had never seen white man or an Indian (though they had heard ol both). and did not even know was not an Eskimo-so little were they informed on what white men are like. We have discovered Eski- mos Gin spech and habits) who are Scandinavians in appearance.
 This find is the beginning of the solution of one of two problems:
 What became of some of Frank lin's men?
 What became of the 5000 Scandi- navians who disappeared from Green land in the fifteenth century?
 "Or. if neither of these questions is to be answered, then we have intro duced a new problem of scientific in- terest.
 Why do some of the people of Vic toria Land differ markedly from the rest of their race?
 Why are they so European in type?
 We have discovered the non-exist- ence of stream which the maps make the size of the Hudson river. When the River La Ronciere disap pears from the map shall feel have done some housekeeping.
 We have found a certain cape to be a cape; we know the source of Rae river, of which only the mouth and lowest ten miles were seen by Doctor Rae And a few other things we have done that are in the nature of discovery. But, of course, if we deserve any credit 1t will be more for our routine work than for any discov cries properly so-called."
 Stefansson left New York on the present expedition in April, 1908. His principal purpose was to study the different tribes of Eskimos in the northwest, and more especially an un known tribe living in Victoria Land
 The explorer is about thirty-three years old. and a graduate of Harvard university Stefansson was accom- panied by Dr. R. M. Anderson oi Harvard. During the long. dreary journey to the land of the midnight sun the party met with many hard ship, the explorer writes. Once. wher the food supplies ran out and no relic was in sight, he says. they ate th' skins from their fur clothing. In mid winter in 1909 Doctor Anderson fel III of pneumonia and lay for a monh too i'll to be moved.
 Had 1t not been that we had small cache of flour, etc., at Cap Perry we should not have been abl' to pull him through" the explore writes.

ROCK ISLAND rs
RUSHING THE WORK
PREPARES for Beginning Construction
Work on New Line From Car
Isle to AlIerton.

Preparations for the beginning Il
construction work on the new Rock
Island line from Carlisle to Allerton
are being rushed. This is the new
line on which ]. %. McAndrew OF this
city has been awarded a part OF the
construction work.
The Rock Island Is now ready to be.
gin the opening of an immense new
coal field in Marion county along the
new line. Grading outfits and con-
structlon materials are being unload
ed now at Corydon and Charlton. Ma
terials are also being rushed to the
scene of the new coal fields. The
mines are to be ready for production
when the new road is opened next
spring.
Two new shafts will be sunk i'm
mediately by the Consolidated In
diana Coal company, subsidiary
organization of the Rock Island. The
nearest OF these will be eighteen
miles south of Des Moines and just
north of Dallas, while the other will
be twenty-one miles south Of Knox
Vile and between Dallas and New
burn. Dallas will be the big coal
town. About 600 houses will be built
at the two mines and 500 men will be
employed.
Coal lands forty-two square miles in
extent will be developed. The flrst
two shafts will be but a beginning.
This coal area is larger than the ordi-
nary township and 1t is scattered
along the new line between Newburn
and point north of Dallas. Dallas
is in the central western part OF
Marion county and Newburn in the
southwest corner. They both lie to
the south and west of Knoxville.
When completed and ready to pro-
duce these two shafts will have a
capacity output of 2,400 tons day.
They will be ready to hoist coal next
spring, and it is expected that the
new road will be ready to transport
the black diamonds to Des Moines and

half pint hot water and add two tea
spoonfuls glycerine. When cool ap-

beautiful it will make your dark,
shiny, sallow skin. I have never seen
its equal for whitening and clearing
an imperfect skin. find it splendid
for producing smooth, rosy, healthy
complexion. 1t does not show on the
face or rub off like powder and makes
the best complexion beautifier have
ever used.
Emma S.: If your eyes appear to be
fading and losing their natural. clear,
sparkling beauty, get good eye
tonic and use it regularly You will
fino nothing better than an ounce of
crystos dissolved in a pint of cold
water. This tonic costs but little and
two or three drops in each eye daily

water to form a paste Spread on
offending hairs and after two or three
minutes rub off, then wash the skin
and you will find the hairs are gone,
Druggists charge dollar for delatone,
but 1t is worth 1t.

The MARKETS
Wheat Market Strong.

[Gate City Leased Wire Service.]
3 CHICAGO, June S.-The wheat
market was strong today and closed
up nearly two cents Corn was up
/ u with oats showing approximately
the same advances. The aggressive
strength in wheat at the start was
only the preliminary to another adj
vance. Buyers were numerous aRd
sellers were not to be found The
bulls worked the "Hessian flies'' and
grass hoppers" on the shorts until
the latter submitted by covering.
Strength of the market rested, to all
appearances, on the cash market.
Chiefly impressed by the near fu-
ture that there would be a sharp fall
ing movement of corn hitherward
from the country and affected by bull
ishness of wheat, the corn market
had a strong commencement and con.
tinued to rise all day.
The oats market was affected by
similar bullishness. The features OF
the crop situation were not materially
considered, but the belief that the
harvest would show a materially
smaller crop of poorer quality than
for the previous year
Trade was light for hog products
and that was the only distinctive
feature. Prices were somewhat high
er, but demand at the advance was
light and sellers not many.
Was Important Week.
NEW YORK, June Sin its issue
of Monday, Financial America will
say that the past week has been the
most important, SO lar as news de-
velopments are concerned, In many
months. 1t will say that, so far as the
decision in the tobacco case, was con-
cerned, It was overshadowed by the
cut in steel prices, the placing of
Union Pacific tours, and the Great
Northern's announcement OF $780,
O00, 900 bond Issue. 1t then will say:
"There was a good deal of conjecture
in the street over the manner In which
the stock acted following the dis
turbances in values caused by the
American Tobacco decision. There
was disposition to attribute most of
the demand to urgent covering of
shorts, but as matter OF fact as
many were put out as were covered.
leaving the short interest practically
undiminished at the end of the Week.
"There is reason to believe that
some of the most important interests
openly opposed the advance. There
is good reason for a change in posi-
ton on the part of these interests.
Railroad earnings for April show
ed the result of retrenchment in
operating costs on many important
lines and assured the maintenance
of dividends even on those roads,
