COPYRIGHTED, AND PUBLISHED BY THIS PAPER BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. WILL BEGIN SOON. A Good Appetite. ‘‘A good appetite is sauce for poor food,” according to the old adage, but a voracious appetite might be both inconvenient and expensive. If a man were built on the same lines as a caterpillar, the whole round earth would shortly become a desert waste. This small creature will in the course of four or five wee ks eat more than 6,000 times its weight in food. An adult human being must have most excellent appepte to consume within three months tfme an amount of food that will eqwu his own weight A few persons eat more than this but by far the greater number take less’ An estimate of the food consumption of the world would show a general average' far below these figures. The majority of persons get food enough to satisfy their cravings, but there is a SnSSS

THEY DISAGREED. Judge Tuthlll Diwcharges the Luetgert Murder Jury, Chicago, Oct. 22.—Judge Tnthill yesterday, contrary to previous reports, called the Luetgert jury in and questioned them as to their ability to agree upon a verdict. Each juror as his name was called stated his reason for believing it would be impossible for them to aver agree. The foreman on a question from the court stated that they stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. The judge asked the attorneys an both sides for their views as to the possibility of the jury finding a verdict. All believed that au agreement was out of the question. Judge Tuthill then discharged the 12 men from further consideration of the case and remanded the prisoner. After the jurors were discharged some of them reluctantly admitted that there was a wide difference of opinion among them regarding the rings found in the vat, the testimony of the Schimpke girls and the Konosha witnesses, the latter as to Mrs. Luetgert being seen in the Wisconsin town. State’s Attorney Deneen, when asked if the case would be tried again, answered: “Certainly. We will have a stronger case the next time.” The trial has cost the state between 115,000 and $20,000, the expert testimony alone costing $5,000. UNIVERSALISTS. New Conditions of Membership Adopted by the General Convention. Chicago, Oct. 22. —The Boston minister’s plan—the substitute creed—was adopted by the Universalist general convention yesterday by an overwhelming majority. If the action of the present body is ratified by the convention of 1899, acceptance of the Winchester creed will no longer be a condition of fellowship in the church. The new conditions of tellowship are intended to be propositions upon which all Universalists caa agree, ihe new conditions of fellowship, as slightly modified, are: The acceptance of the essential principles of the Uuiversalists’ faith, to-wit: 1. The uni rersal fatherhood of God. 2. The spiritual authority and leadership of his son, Jesus Christ. 3. The trustworthyness of the Bible as containing a revelation from God. 4. The certainty of just retribution for sin. 5. The final harmony of all souls with God. CAPTAIN LOVERING. Before a Court of Inquiry He Admit* Private Hammond's Charges. Chicago, Oct. 23.—The story told of the treatment of Private Charles Hammond by Captain Leonard A. Lovering was confirmed yesterday by the court of inquiry now in session at Fort Sheridan. The testimony of both the principals and Lieutenant Bernard corroborated. It was shown that Hammond was dragged from the guardhouse over macadamized roads, up and down stairways, all the way to the room where the summary court was sitting. It also was shown that Captain Lovering did swear at, kick and use his sword upon the stubborn prisoner. Captain Lovering admitted practically everything alleged against him by Hammond. NORTHEAST GALE. Thousands of Dollars Worth of Damage Done to Property. Ca.pe May, N. J., Oct. 26. —One of the fiercest northeast gales of years has swept the lower Jersey coast and up Delaware bay for over 34 hours. Many vessels have oeen stranded. A fleet is riding at anchor within the harbor, unable to proceed either way, and the meadows are so inundated that railroad travel to the coast resorts is practically suspended. The tide here abated somewhat last: night but the wind blew at a velocity of 30 miles. Portions of the koard walk hav» been swept away, as wall as cottage porches and fences, and the damage is estimated at thousands of dollars. In Sweden women vote for all elective officers except representatives; also indirectly for members of the house of lords. The proportional number of unmarried women is greater in England than in Germany and the age of marriage higher. In a Boston court a few days ago a man engaged in manual labor testified that he was obliged to work 21 hours out of the 24. One-twelfth of the population of England suffer from gout. A Berlin physician, Dr. Feahlner, says that this malady is often due to the excessive use of meat. Spain has more sunshine than any other country in Europe. The yearly average in Spain is 3,000 hours; that of Italy, 2,300; Germany, 1,700; England, 1,400. Holy Hill, in Wisconsin, is a Roman Catholic shrine Which is visited by about 25,000 pilgrims every year, many of whom say that they are cured of their ailments. A healthy babe should cry three or four times a day to give its lungs needed exercise. So asserts a medical authority, but he doesn’t say how long each cry should last It is asserted by Lyell, the geologist, that at a period comparatively recent all that portion of the United States south of the Black Hills was under from 500 to 900 feet of water. With the assistance of the latest machines a piece of leather can be transformed into a pair of boots in 34 minutes, in which time it passes through the hands of 63 people and through 15 machines. The salary of the queen’s chief butler, who looks after the beer, wines and spirits, is £SOO a year. This functionary must have a palate of exquisite delicacy, as in him is vested the purchase of the wines drunk by royalty. Chemical names are occasionally curious and long, as every one knows to his cost. Here is another to be added to the list, Diparaossiacetophenondiphenilpiperazine. It has been given by an Italian chemist to a new compound which he has discovered.

Keep yJour eye on the teachers of Washington township as they mean to make all their institutes a success, A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad ease of la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring abont a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its resits, is putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure.

Some Plain Facts. Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of greater or less degree, arise from lack of knowledge of the truth, and more frequently from deception. The most infamous case on record of deception and injustice is the attempt to demonetize silver as a money of final redemption in the United States. There is no learned judge, skilled lawyer, or court of justice that is capable of reconciling the effort with the constitutional laws that govern the issue of money in this country. The people have been deceived, officials in power, chosen to administer justice under the laws, have ignored their sworn duty, and given aid to the scheme that has paralyzed industry, reduced property values one-half, and beggared millions. There is no authority of law, either specific or by inference, by which gold alone is made the only money with which to discharge debts, either public or private. The effort to make it so is unconstitutional and a national calamity. Plain and ample information, facts, and truth, concerning this almost successful scheme to corner the wealth of the people, is now being printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a newspaper which the combined power of money has failed to muzzle or buy. The Weekly Enquirer is only 75c. a year. The address is Enquirer Company, Cincinnati, O.
