A girl threw her pocketbook,

At the ninth floor window a

Put Bells on all the Cats.

Mrs. J. d. Murphy, of Spokane.
Wash, is advocating movement
IN that all owners of cats provide
their pets with bells in the inter-
est of preserving the song birds,
which are now coming back to
their haunts for the summer.
Mrs. Murphy has interested q
large number of club and society
women in her campaign and it is
likely that a "Bell on Cat' 90
ciety will be organized to take
charge of the work. The plan is
to attach a small bell with strap
or ribbon On the neck of every
cat in the city and suburbs, the
arguments being that if it were
made custom generally there
would be more birds in Spokane.
No mention has been made so far
of the tinkiing at midnight sere-
nades by Thomas and his back
yard acquaintance, but it is no
wild guess at this time to say
that some one may organize q
crusade to not only put the bells
out of commission, but also ex
terminate the wearers. The
theory advanced is that this
method would make doubly sure
of protecting the birds for all
time.

LunaticS at State Prison.

When the state penitentiary
investigating committee was
making its recent visit to the
state prison it came to light that
there are at present confined
within the walls of the estate in
stitution at least half a dozen
convicts who are insane. Two of
these unfortunate are so violent
ly demented and so dangerous
that they have to be shackled
and locked in their cells for fear
that they attack the guards and
will have to be shot or dubbed to
death in self defense.
Others are not of dangerous
character, but are totally unbaI-
anced In mind, being possessed
of various Authorizations, and
mumbling at times incoherently
of these decisions.
Probably the most dangerous
convict in the whole prison is one
Anderson Sowell, a negro, who is
confined in his cell with shackles
all the time. Several beds have
been placed in his cell, but he
will not tolerate this, tearing the
bedclothes to pieces and only
desisting from his rawlings when
the water cure is given him by
the guards.
To Tennessean and American
reporter this convict stated that
he was king of the world, having
killed the other aspirants to the
title, which he has now turned
over to his mother and two sis
ters. He stated that he had in
herited this title from centuries
of illustrious ancestors and that
he would guard it with his life.
1t may probably come to pass
that the pehitentiary committee,
when it drafts its bill regarding
penal affairs, will embody in It's
context some recommendation
that these convicts not be kept
at the penitentiary after they
are seen to have been of unsound
mind, but shall be transferred to.
q lunatic asylum. When the
supreme court ordered that one
insane prisoner, W. P. Bradener,
be sent to the asylum a few days
ago, it was the first order of such
a nature to be issued in the mem.

DOCTORS QUESTION.
Much Sickness Due to Bowel
Disorders.

A DOCTORS first question when
consulted by patient is, care
your bowels regular?" He knows
that SO per cent. of illness is at
tended with inactive bowels and
torpid liver, and that this con-
ditiou must be removed gently
and thoroughly before health can
be restored.
Rexall Orderlies are positive,
pleasant and safe remedy for
constipation and bowel disorders
in general. We are SO certain of
their great curative value that
we promise to return the pur-
chaser's money in every case
when they fail to produce entire
satisfaction.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy, they act quietly, and
have a soothing, strengthening,
healing influence on the entire
intestinal tract. They do not
purge, grippe, cause nausea, fiatu-
lence, excessive looseness, diar-
rhea or other annoying effect.
They are especially good for
children, weak persons or old
folks. Two sizes, 25c and 10c.

Rejected Mans Queer Stunt.

Because Joseph PIummer of
Milton, N. H., was prevented by
his fathtr from marrying the
woman of his choice he has re-
NAMED 40 years in bed. He is
n years old.
The woman he loved Is dead,
but the old man has not been
told; in fact, he refused t. speak
to her from the day he said to
his father:
"Since you will not let me
have her have no bother ambition
and may as we'll spend the rest
of my life in bed" Joseph went
to bed. Joseph did not get up.
He continued in bed day, week
after week, year after year,
until the sensation of his course
waned and he became more or
less an institution in Milton.

About $50 Persons, Nearly

-nine-tenths of them girls from

worst fire New York has had since
the steamship Gen. Sl0cum was

tenth floor, carrying 18th them

two young daughters and a gov

fire escape on the building. How
the fire started will probs bly,
never be known. A corner on
the eighth floor was the point of
its origin and the upper floors
only were swept. On the ninth

siXty-three or more persons were
crushed to death by Jumping and
more than thirty clogged the e}e-

The partitions of architectural
tiling between floor and floor
are sound, and it is impossible
for one who did not see 1t to
imagine how the flames in SO
short time could have wrought
such havoc. Seven hundred per
sons, 500 Of them women, were
euoloyed by the shir'waist c.m-
pany. They sat in rows at their
whlrrlng machines, the tables
before them piled with himsy
cloth. the floor Uttered with lint,
the air itself full of flying intlam-
mable dust. The first rush of
flame was almost an explosion.
| Operators died 10 their chairs,
their lungs scared by inhaling
hames. Others were owdpd
into the elevator shafts after the
cars had made their last trip.
Still Others were pushed off the
inadequate interior fire escape.
ln such horrible stream did
the, bodies overflow from the
windows that the fire nets,
stretched by the first company to
arrive, were soon gorged beyond
capacity. Twelve bodies weigh

but The bodies Kept on tumbling
to the pavelnents, through meshes
that could no longer support

minutes before quitting time,
hundreds were in line before the
