PRECIOUS RELICS IN DANGER
steps Being Taken by the Pope to
Insure the Safety Of Documents
In the Vatican.

Father Ehrle, the weil-known his.
torian, who has been project Of the
vatican library since 1895, is shortly
TO retire from his important post, and
Monsignore Ratti, director of the Am.
Drosian library, Of Milan, has been sc.
Consequently destructive Bird, Held
lected by the pope to succeed him.
The manuscripts contained in the
vatican library number over forty
thousand and surpass not only in mum.
Der but also in value and interest those
OF all other libraries in the world
combined because they have been &C
cumulated since practically the begin
| ming Of the Christian era. It will be
necessary for Father Ehrle to remain
In charge for at least another couple
OF years In order that he may hand
over to his successor these manuscript
treasures, which must be identified
one by one.
The pope, on the suggestion OF the
retiring librarian, has availed himself
OF this detailed examination of manu-.
scripts. which takes place whenever a
new project is appointed, to reform the
methods heretofore adopted for their
preservation. The manuscripts are in.
closed in low wooden cupboards called
"armadii," about five feet high, the
doors of which are richly decorated,
according to the plan in use for cen.
turtles In Rome, which was to combine
art galleries and libraries and thus
give room to hang pictures on the
walls over the books.
While every precaution is taken for
the preservation of the manuscripts
from moths and dampness this old sys.
tenn Of keeping them has its great
drawbacks in case Of fire, as the cup.
boards are naturally not fireproof.
Father Ehrle suggested to the pope that
every cupboard when possible should
be converted into a frongbox or safe
perfectly freproof and that two OF
three large rooms should be specifical
ly built with walls covered with steel
plates or other non-inflammablet mate
rial, to which the manuscripts that car
not be kept in cupboards could be 70
moved.
His suggestion has been fully ap
proved by the pope, who still recalls
the fire In the vatican, which but fol
the Intervention Of the italian firemer
might have had disastrous results
and the necessary arrangements have
now men made to have the vatican
manuscripts preserved in such a wal
as to insure their safety and integrity

OId-TIme Market Days.

"Market-day," for ages an institu,
ton In England, still exists in certain
localities, and may still be studied
with interest by the tourist who visits
Halifax, Nova Scotia, or Charlotte
tower, Prince Edward Island, where
large enclosures and roomy market
houses are maintained for the benefit
of the country people. and such citt
zens as have established a regular
market business. Everything from
live stock to bouquet Of flowers may
be brought here for sale, the owner
being allotted a suitable place and
charged small fee for his accommo
dalton, and while most Of the market
people are far from being especially
rustic in their dress or speech, the
variety, and sometimes the peculiar
ity of their offerings still suggest the
important part which the English
market and its legal control played
in the local and business life Of three
centuries ago.-"Nobility Of the

Passengers Lucky Escape"

A traveller in one of the London
tubes attempted to board a train after
1t had started and the gates were
closed. He got his feet under the gate
and hung on until the train ran into
the tunnel. Here he was knocked off,
and but for the prompt action of the
engineer he would have had both legs
cut off. He wrote letter Of complaint
to the company, whereupon they had
him summoned" for breaking one of

him $3.50 and costs, which amounted
to $40. The item describing the case

these associations represent every
important producing district in the
country, and as this conference is

: Blood. =

Hot weather has a very weakening
effect on women. They become too
languid to exercise and have appetite
for light, tasty foods, like salads and
other cold connections, which do not
digest readily and tend to increase
their natural tendency to constipation.
At this season women, especially,
need all their strength to resist the
%enervating effect of the heat. Good
digestion and regularity Of the bowels
are essential. Some fruits have laxa-
tive properties, but they are uncertain
in their effect, and are not generally
advised. A mild bowel stimulant and
digestant, such as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, is preferable because
it is certain in its effect, natural in
its action, and wholly safe. Take a
dose of Syrup Pepsin at night and by
morning the sick headache and indi-
gestion will be gone.
Dr.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold
in drug stores everywhere, and costs
fifty cents a bottle; q larger size, in
tended for family use, costs n dol
lar. If you have never used Syrup
Pepsin and would like a free trial bot

Many DISAPPOINTED
THURSDAY EVENING
Management Of Band Failed
To Serve Notice Of No
Concert
Of Hundred People
Turned Out To Hear
Music

There were at least two hundred
people who journeyed to the court
house lawn last evening, expecting
to hear M of the popular concerts
that have been given this summer,
but they were doomed to d%isappoint-
ment as the band did not put in an
appearance. 1t appears that 1t was
understood that on account of the
band going to Mandan ON the even
ing previous they would not be ex-
pected to play at the regular concert,
but the management failed to make
the announcement to the public. The
tribune had been informed that con.
certs would be held on Thursday
evening instead of Wednesday even
ing and had advertised it well as was
indicated by the crowd that turned
out. There will be a concert next
Thursday evening, and it is probable
that the same program advertised tor
last evening will be rendered next
week.
