TANGO HORR|F|ES
THE CITY COUNCIL
School Where the New Steps are Being
Taught is to be Put Under
Police Censorship

Exit the tango; farewell to the
wave; nevermore the Boston, and
even the hesitation waltz is to be
no more-all must go-maybe.
Our little city is already feeling the
first surges of the mighty moral
wave that with the coming of the
new administration will sweep
it from end to end. The city
council at their meeting We'd
nesday evening, decided, in view of
the complaints that have been re-
ceived from various sources, that
'esthetic ball room dancing may
not be desirable accomplishment
to be taught the younger genera
ton. All raging also will be
frowned upon henceforth. 1t, too,
comes under the censorship of the
board of public morals.
But, as the Mayor pointed out to
the shocked members of the board
of alderman. there is Raging and
Raging. Some is dangerous and
indecent, while the other may be
but a superabundance of vim and an
expression of delight. So the
matter is to be left to the discretion
of the chief of police. He has been
appointed official sponsor for all the
various kinds of hops, dips, wiggles
and hesitations. Since the matter
has been agitated one or two of the
councilmen have evinced desire to
witness the dances which have been
objected to and it is likely that the
police chief will be backed up in his
report at the next meeting.

swine BREEDERS
MEETING POSTPONED
New Date, Saturday, the 18th, Set
Planned to Have Interesting Series
of Meetings This Winter

President Pratt, of the Kenne-
wick Valley Swine Breeders Asso-
citation, spoke up at their last meet
ing Saturday afternoon, and stated
that either the association was going
to be an association or he would
cease to have any further interest in
taking the duties of the presidency.
This statement was made owing to
the meagreness of the attendance,
some six members of the association
being present.
Another effort will be made to
revive the organization and an extra
effort made to secure the full men,
bership at the next meeting. Sat-
urday, November 18th, has been
chosen for the next meeting, and a
full attendance is desired. At that
time it will be definitely decided
whether or not the hog specialists
take enough interest in their busi-
ness to warrant the continuance OF
the association.
Providing the members decide to
attend regularly, new plan of con-
Quoting the meetings in the future
will be followed. At each meeting
papers will be read which will
deal with vital questions, and will
be followed by discussion among all
the members. In this way, it is
expected that each man may bene-
fit by the experience of the others
and that the meetings will be OF
special interest for that reason.
The Commercial Club rooms have
been secured for their next meeting
and the election of officers for the
coming year will take place at that
time, if sufficient interest is taken
to continue the organization. Re-
member that date-Saturday after
noon, the 18th, at 1:30 at the Com
mercial Club rooms.

RICHARDSON
DEFEATS KOLb
Tavlor, Johnson, Vibber Win in
Pnmary-Garber and Olbrich
Tie in Third Ward

Geo. F. Richardson was nomin-
ated for the mayors chair at Tues
davis primary, defeating Mayor E.
L. Kolb by majority of 33. The
contest, which was one of the warm
est in recent years, centered on the
mayorality nomination. The Rich
ardson supporters were thoroughly
organized and of course are highly
elated by their success in putting
over" their candidate by the
"sticker" route.
Mr.. Kolb carried the first and
third wards by small margins but
was defeated two to one in his home
ward. An unusual feature of the
vote was the high percentage of the
registration which voted, only Is
out of 555 failing to get to the polls.
J. l.. Johnson is re-nominated
for treasurer defeating G.. E. Tweedt
by 100. D. L. Taylor was success
full in the race for the clerkship,
polling 50 more votes than his op-
ponent, R. G. Mounsey.
H. E. Huntington for council
man.at-large, J. Sercombe for coun-
Gilman from the first ward and C.
L. Holcomb for attorney, were NOM
mated without opposition.
In the second ward H. R. Vibber
defeated J. B. Slaugenhaupt more
than two to one for the council seat.
A tie vote between G.. CARRIER and
Joseph Olbrich for councilman from
the third ward was a feature of the
election. Each candidate polled 63,
and some smart Aleck" wasted
the deciding vote by casting it for
Mrs. Chas. Conway. On Wednes-
day night the canvassing board
drew lots and Mr.. Olbrich was the
lucky (or unlucky) one whose name
will appear on the ballot.
There being only one ticket in
the field, the men nominated Tues.
day will undoubtedly be the ones
who will look after the city's af-
fairs next year, as it is not expected
that there will be any further con.
tests for the places at the December
election.
The vote by wards was as follows:

FARMING UNDERGROUND.
Remarkable and Profitable CuItiva-
ton i'm a Missouri Cavern.

Remarkable and Profitable Cultiva-
ton in Missouri Cavern.
Probably the most unique farm in
the world is located in Missouri, IS
feet underground, near the city of
Springfield. True, there are small
caves in France devoted to the
growth of mushrooms, but the Mis-
souri, cavern produces not only mush-
rooms but rhubarb and celery in
large quantities, to say nothing Of
frogs in season. 1t is owned and
farmed by Robert Smith, who finds
his labors highly profitable.
Throughout the year the cavern,
through which flows gentle stream,
maintains a temperature of so de-
grees. 1t is devoid of undue damp
ness and is freshened with a steady
current of air. Twelve years ago
Smith, then a resident of st. Louis,
went farm hunting, and finally Sc
Iected the property which he has
since made one of the exceptional
places in the world. 1t was neces-
sary to carry great quantities of rich
earth into the cavern after the owner
decided to go in for mushrooms. This
venture proving successful he expert
mented with rhubarb, and then
found the underground farm an ex-
cellent place in which to bleach cell
cry. Both rhubarb and celery are
transplanted after obtaining a good
start outside The frogs are caught
in a netted pond at the mouth of the
cave

OVERWORK KILLS MILLIONAIRE
Mr.. Morris, the Chicago Packer, Dies
at the Age of AZ.

1t is probably not incorrect to say
that overwork and business strain
caused the death of Edward Morris,
son of the late Nelson Morris, pioneer
packer of Chicago. All his life from
the time he was lad in knickerbock-
ers Edward Morris was engaged in
business. He entered his fathers Of
fee when only IA years of age and
displayed such ability that the elder
Morris was astonished. 1t was his
genius and energy that built up the
business so that when the father died
the estate was valued at between
$4O,OO0,OO0 and $50,OO0,OOO. A year
ago Mr.. Morris suffered a nervous
breakdown and recently passed away
at the age of Al.
Mr. Morris was worth close to
S5O,00O,000. He was a liberal con-
tributor to charities and gave away
yearly an amount equal to the sum
expended on members of his family.
He was the largest individual owner
Of bank stock in Chicago.

THIS IS SOME FARM.
Takes Five Days to Ride Around 1t
On Horseback.

The farm of Joseph o. Thompson,
outside of Birmingham, Ala, is said
to be one of the largest in the world.
1t comprises $4,000 acres in the ia
nous black belt, which is considered
the most fertile farm land to be
found anywhere. If this farm were
to be cut into city lots there would
be 100000, enough to build a city
of 100000 inhabitants, figuring six
to each family. Two hundred miles
of wire encloses the farm. 1t takes
the man who inspects the fence five
days to ride around it on horseback.
To properly care for the farm 1900
are employed, who with their fami-
lies make a population larger than
the average Alabama city. Two hun
dred and thirty plows are always in
use.
All the farm is not under cultiva-
ton. Just now only 5000 acres are
planted. In an ordinary season this
area yields $500 bales Of cotton, 25,-
900 bushels of corn, 1000 bushels
of oats, 600 tons of hay, 500 tons of
alfalfa and $4,000 gallons of syrup.
Besides all this, there are on the
farm 600 head of cattle and nearly
as many hogs.
Mr.. Thompson is called the king
farmer of Alabama. There are cattle
men in the west and in other parts
of the world who own more acres,
but they are merely pastures and not
farms.

OLD CHURCH VAULT TO GIVE UP 5000 BODIES

Among the evangelists who
preached in the church was Chaplain
McCabe, who was noted for his ready

of the spirit of the old church which
promted Chaplain McCabe to send his
memorial telegram to the agnostic
lecturer, Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll, who
had said that christianity was dying
out The words were: "Methodism

Although the congregation has
been steadily dwindling the affection

When the kidneys are weak they

OLD BUILDING HAS HISTORY IN
METHODISM WHICH FEW IN
THIS GENERATION KNOW.

NEW YORK.-Clearing the cata-
combs beneath the old Bedford
Street Methodist episcopal church
these days is like 4 rafting in the
valley of dry bones.
Three thousand bodies, many of
which are only crumbling fragments,
are being removed from the vaults
under the old edifice, which soon is
to be given to the dust Of the
wrecked.
Once the collins, which are now
being removed preparatory to the
tearing down of the house OF wor-
ship to make room for the Seventh
avenue extension, were lying in the
churchyard. They were taken UP
when that plot was sold in 1888 and
consigned to the twenty vaults be-
meath the church and at the side of
it. The bodies are now being buried
in big graves, several to each excava-
ton, in Mount Olive cemetery on
Long Island.
II is hard to determine who was
resting in the collins, for many have
disintegrated with the lapse of time,
for it was more than a century ago
that the church was founded. No
burials have taken place there for
sixty years.
This church above the catacombs,
which is so sooneto go, has history
in Methodism of which few of the
present day and generation know.
1t has echoed with the oratory OF
famous preachers and great awaken
ings of religion began within its
walls and spread throughout the me-
tropolis.

copal church, as a congregation, was

MAD KING OTTO IS DEPORTED
LUDWIG III NOW RULES IN THE
KINGDOM OF BAVARIA.
Royal Proclamation Declares Tncura.
bic the Insanity of Otto, Which
Prevents Him From Ruling.

MUNICH.-The insane King Otto
of Bavaria was deposed today from
the throne of the kingdom of Bava-
ria, which he has occupied for %
years without being aware of his
position. Prince Regent Ludwig
proclaimed himself king this morning
in pursuance of the provisions of a
law just enacted by the two houses
of the BaVarian diet. The new king
is to be known as Ludwig III.
A royal proclamation, which was
today posted throughout the king
dom, declares incurable the insanity
which has incapacitated Otto from
ruling, and states that in consequence
of this Prince Regent Ludwig has
brought his regency to an end, has
ascended the throne and nominated
himself king.
The deposed King Otto was born
on April q, 184S, and succeeded his
brother, Ludwig II, who drowned
himself in Starnberg Lake on June
13, 1886.
In his proclamation Ludwig III al
ludes to himself as King by the
grace of God" and uses a number Of
similar expressions.
Two members of the Bavarian diet
yesterday were sent as a delegation
to Furestenried Palace to visit the
Mad King Otto. They found him
in a pathetic condition. When he
saw them he stammered some mar
ticulate words. While they were
out of the room they heard a great
crash, and found that Otto had dash
ed to the floor a tea tray which had
been sent for the deputies.

"AIGRETTEs" OF HORSE HAIR.

Most of the plumage seized by GUS
toms inspectors at New York as al
grettes, which are barred from this
country, proved to be horse hair imi-
tations, customs officials announced
Friday after completing their APP
praisal of the confiscated ornaments.
Originally considered by the in
spectors to be worth $4,000 to $4,-
900 the value of the so-called al
grettes has dwindled to $500, and
they probably will be returned.
Appraisers said the limitations had
been sold to American women in Eu-

AN INCESSANT Cough.
Continued Dropping of Mucus
into my Throat.

A severe cough is always a grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate Or
ganic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough is a functional dis
turbance it is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to it. 1t
is stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh of the
stomach. At any rate, the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland, of Frankston, Texas,
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap-
pear. but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
For twenty three years I was a
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. I had a severe misery and
burning in the top Of my head. There
was almost a continual dropping of
mucus into my throat, which caused
frequent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became involved,
and my condition grew worse. / had
an incessant cough and frequent at
tacks Of bilious collie, from which 1t
seemed I could not recover. MY
bowels also became affected, causing
alarming attacks Of hemorrhages.
81 tried many remedies, which gave
only temporary relief, or no relief at
all. I at last tried Peruna, and Al
three days 1 was relieved Of the bowel
deraneement. After using five bottles
was entirely cured.

use of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted"
