 Would Talk to Spirits.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-At the trial of the clairvoyant swindlers Mrs. Rapp testified that she had paid $12,- 900 to talk to her dear dead husband and that the husband always asked her to come back and talk to him again, the cfairvyoant always in sisting upon large payment because of the terrible fatigue" undergone by being in trance and acting as the medium" When the money was all gone, said Mrs. Rapp, the me dium" refused to work and she could no longer talk to her husband.
 The prosecution claim they will prove that the band of clairvoyants reaped 8 harvest from the widows, who wished to talk to departed hus- bands and that more than $1O0,00O was paid them by sevena different widows.
 The mediums always advised the women to come back when they rep resented the husbands and the lone- ly old women fell for the trap and returned each time with more money.

NOVELS CAUSE
 GIRLS 60 WRONG ceives Report of Causes for
 Fall From Grace.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 12.-The vice committee of the International Purity Congress reported today to the con gress that after a careful study of the conditions of vice in all lands and the causes to which, as far as they have been able to trace, can be laid the blame for the going wrong of the many women of the underworld, who are recruited from the best families and the poorest alike, can be laid mostly to the reading of cheap and immoral novels, which excite the de sire for tasting of the forbidedn fruits of life and eventually lead to the downfall of the girls.
 Many French novels, the reading of Three Weeks" and books of that class, besides the thousands of books to which the mails are closed. but which, in some unaccountable man. ner, are handed from girl to girl or from boy to boy, start them on course in life which can lead to but one end for the women--the houses of i'll repute.
 The work of Anthony COmstock. the leader of the suppression of ob- scene books and pictures, was high ly commended by the committee and it's extension was advocated.
 Judge Ben Lindsay, of Denver, who was candidate for the vice-presi- dency of the congress, was defeated by d close vote.

RUSSIAN JURY:
 FREES BE|L|SS
Cosacks Needed to Quell Riots-Ir'a' Has Caused Sensation in All
 Civilized Countries.

KIEF, Russia, Nov. 12-Mendel Beiliss was acquitted by the jury here today of the charge of murder, pre- ferred against him by the police, who asserted that he had murdered 13- year4old Andrew Yushinsky in or der to secure the blood of the lad to use in an alleged Jewish ritual.
 The announcement of the verdict caused a number of riots and it was necessary to maintain 2,000 Cosacks in the Jewish quarters to protect them from the vengeance of the mobs. The Russian populace were strongly in favor of hanging Beiliss, as they believed the stories told by the police about the socalled ritual of the Jews.
 Many students were hurt in the clashes with the police and the Cos acks, who used the butt ends of their guns and the flat sides of their sa- bers to drive the mob away. Many were trampled by the Cosacks, who rode rough shod over the students.
 The trial has caused sensation in all parts of Russia and has been the only theme of conversation for the past three weeks. The opposition to the government has used it to great advantage to harass the administra- tion.
 The opposition press have utilized the trial to the utmost from politi- ical standpoint. The Ryech goes so far as to declare that the country is once more aroused from it's state of acquiescent lethargy. and that Russia is again passing through period preceding an open revolution ary movement, as fin 1904-5.

keep it in the proper condition; but, as
q rule, a pint each of bran and oats
twice a day will be sufficient.
Beyond the feeding of a Shetland
there is little to be added to the cost
of keeping one The hardy little ponies
are seldom sick and require little or no
veterinary attention. If they are driv-
en- on paved city streets or on brick
and stone roads they should be shod,
but as they wear their shoes out slow
" and at the most only require to be
shod during the summer months the
shoeing bill is only a small item.
To some persons the suggestion that
the Shetland pony has any practical
use would be regarded as an absurdity,
yet thousands have been taught by ex-
perience that the Shetland is a useful
adjunct to city, suburban or farm home
life
One of these rugged little fellows
with his boy or girl driver or rider will
be able to do many errands which
would require the time Of grown per
son and a horse, and pair of Shet-
lands hooked up to little wagon will
do a lot of such light work as is COM
mon to home life, especially in village
and country.
A Shetland pony will road off five or
six miles an hour with ease dra wing a
vehicle of proper weight and proper
ton, and it is not difficult to estimate
the practical value of the service that
will be rendered by one of these faith
full little servants capable of doing
this.

DEADLY TYPHOID.
This Plague of America Is More
Dangerous Than Cholera.
1T COSTS MILLIONS YEARLY.

Its Toll In Lives Amounts Annually to
Many Thousands; Still It's Serious
ness Is Regarded With indifference
by Majority of People.
The discovery Of single case OF
cholera on board an incoming ocean
liner fills the american public with
alarm. Yet this same public displays
the most surprising Indifference to-
ward the ravages of typhoid fever.
which is year after year taking from
us the heavy toll Of twenty or more
deaths for every 100000 Of our popula-
ton.
From January, 1907, to October. 1911.
there occurred in Russia 2S36S4 cases
Of Asiatic cholera. This included the
appalling epidemic of 1910. According
to conservative estimate, the United
States had during the same period
100000 cases Of typhoid fever, or
more than four cases Of typhoid fever
in this country for every case Of chol
era in Russia, says the New York
American.
When Italy was rayaged by cholera
in the years 1910 and 1911 there were
10000 cases of the disease, with about
5000 deaths. In the United States
during the same period we had more
than 100000 cases of typhoid fever,
with 10000 Deaths
Although the death rate from cholera
is higher for the same number of cases,
typhoid fever is really a more serious
and far more costly pest 1t is trans
miSsible in more ways, it is more ex-
penSive on account of its habitual lin
gering course. and it is infinitely more
disastrous in it's after effects than
Asiatic cholera.
The $4,000 deaths from typhoid fever
annually by no means represent our to-
tai loss. There are 250,O00 cases Of the
disease every year, and each case ne
ceSSitateS an average of four to eight
weeks absence from work. This waste
Of energy, together with the cost Of
medical attendance and hospital care
and the loss due to decreased earning
capacity during convalescence, brings
the amount which typhoid fever costs
us every twelve months to not less
than $100,0O0OOO.
The complacency with which the av-
erage American citizen views this pro-
digious waste is all the more remark
able when we consider that typhoid is,
to very great extent, a preventable
disease. Attention to the simplest re-
quirements Of sanitary science would
reduce the number of cases by 10000
a year, and the number of deaths which
could be so avoided would reach q total
of more than 10000.
