I A Vision In Slumber Tlinl Was Turned Into n Reality. Stuart Robson used to tell a strange story of Laura Keene, with whom he played in the sixties iu the last eentury. “The sight of a bottle of red fuk was enough to upset her for a week.'’ he said. "On one occasion we wore playing a farce called ‘The Lady and the Devil.’ An important scene of it was when she was sitting at a table preparatory to writing a letter. I. as her servant, stood at the back of a chair. ‘Take your right hand off that chair,’ she whispered. The stage dialogue proceeded. 'You are sure yon can find Don Rafael at bis lodgings;' 'Yes. madam; his servant tells me his - wounds will confine him to his bed for a week.’ ‘ls this the only paper that v*' have? Where is the ink';' ‘Here, madam.’ And 1 bent forward to place the ink within her reach, when, in my | confusion at her reproof, the vessel was upset and its contents trickled on to the lap of her satin dress. The ink was blood red. 1 shall never forget the ghastly look that overspread her fp.ee. ind I was so frightened that I never knew how the scene ended. “The next morning at rehearsal she told me I was doomed to ill luck for the remainder of my days. She called the company together and gave them a detailed description of the ’awful scene’ the night before occasioned by the young man who would never make an nctor. She told of a terrible dream she __had had in which some great person had been foully murdered before her eyes; how she had attempted rescue without avail; how he had fallen dead at her feet, and how his blood slowly oozed into her lap. It was two years after this that Miss Koene was playing at Ford's theater. Washington, on the occasion when Abraham Lincoln was shot. Miss Keene was the only person who seemed to realize the situation. She ran to the box. end in a moment the head of the dying man was in her lap. while the scene of her dream was being pitifully enacted.”Argonaut. The Danger In Cocaine. The great danger of cocaine lies in the fact that it is the most agreeable and alluring of all narcotics. It causes no mental confusion; only a little more talkativeness than usual. There is no headache or nausea, and the pleasant effects are produced with a comparatively small dose, but symptoms of poisoning are rapidly developed, and w’.Uiin three months of the commencement of the habit there may be mark <d indications of degeneration, loss of memory, hallucinations and suspicious. —London laiucet.

TO CELEBRATE JACKSON DAY
Indianapolis, Jone 11.—There is not a day goes by at the capital city that is not responsible tor some hew bit of political gossip. Although the Democratic state committee will not be reorganized for several months, there is Trucb talk of how it will be made up. Senator "Billy” O'Brien of Lawrenceburg, the present chairman, has a host of friends, and If he cares for the place attain he will be a hard man to defeat. He has intimated that the meeting for the reorganization will probably be held Jan. 8. when ft is probable there will be a big Jackson Day celebration. This may be regarded as significant of a desire on the part of O'Brien and other leaders to go back to doctrines of Jefferson and Jackson. However, there docs not seem to be much prospect of friction between the Democratic leaders because of difference of opinions as to what shall be the paramount issues. It really begins to look as if they will not have much trouble in reaching a common ground from which the enemy may be fought successfully. It is early yet to make predictions, but there does not seem to be much on the political horizon to in dicate that the Democrats are not going to be able to get together. The health and vital statistics for 1902 In Indiana, compiled by Secretary Hurty of the state board of health, show some startling results. There were 34.069 deaths, but the most striknig feature is that over 6,000 were caused by consumption and typhoid fever, which, Dr. Hurty says, are preventable. Consumption carried off nearly 3,000 men and women, made nearly twice that many orphans, and cost the state millions. Apropos oi Dr. V-irtx’a e.ffort to call the attention ;
BRIDAL PHOTOGRAPHS. Not Nearly So Many Taken Nowaday* a« There Vxed to Be. Brides :.re proba ly just as beautiful now as ever tl ey were, but they are not nearly so anxious to record their postnuptial loveliness by means of photographs. Most photographers say they are glad of it. "I never did enjoy taking the pictures of brides." said a photographer. "Like all the rest of the world, I love the dear creatures. but when it comes down to H a dozen commercialism they do not satisfy my artistic instincts. Few brides take a good picture. Somehow their togs are not becoming. A bride is supposed to look superlatively lovely on her wedding day. but if anybody dared to tell the truth on the subject that superstition soon would be exploded and the sweet tilings would realize that, instead of looking their best on that occasion. most of them are apt to look their worst. It is the same way when they come to be photographed in their wedding finery. They are either too pale or too red. and they have a nervous. anxious expression that robs the face of all good lines for photographic purposes. "The time was when no bride considered herself really married until she bad arrayed herself in spotless white and had her picture taken. <tonerally ’he’ came with her. and 'he' looked just about as foolish as she did. Goodness, the trouble 1 have had posing brides and bridegrooms before the camera! Instead of telling them to look pleas ant I always felt like saying. ’Don't look idiotic if you can possibly help It,' and then I would have to think up seme device to keep her from s routing down too close against his shoulder and to keep him from responding with an equally inappropriate embrace. Rut with all my precautions I never fully succeeded in preventing their acting like Iv.nailcs. The other day when look ing over a lot of o’.d negatives I came across several hundred of those sentimental combinations, and I thanked my lucky stars that nowadays few newly mated couples have the camera craze.”—Chicago Re< ord-Herald. POULTRY POINTERS. Stale broad soaked in milk and squeezed dry is a good feed for young ducks. Only medium sized eggs should be. set. Extra large or small ones are apt to produce deformed chicks. Turkeys are not so sure to come home as other fowls; hence it is a good plan to mark them in some way. Feed the young chicks often if you would have them growing rapidly, but do not feed more at a time than they will eat up clean in a few minutes. Destroy the old nests as soon as the bens come off with the chicks. The safest and best plan is to burn all of the old material. Healthy fowls pick up their food quickly and relish it. When they go at it lazily, pick up a grain or two and then stop something is wrong. Never shut the fowls up in such close quarters that they cannot take enough exercise to promote digestion. Hens treated in this way will soon become too fat to lay. Soil and Forage Crop*. Those states which are noted for the production of forage crops not only bavf maintained the original fertility of the soil, but they spend for commercial fertilizers less than 1 i>er cent of the annual value of their crops, while those states which pay least attention to forage crops have impoverished the soil and spend annually for fertilizers from .I to !l ver cent of the total value of their crops.
of the public and the state to the deplorable conditions, it may be recalled that nn effort was made to put through a resolution at the recent session ot the legislature to provide a commission to investigate the consumption situation and to suggest means for the state to expend sofae of Iff funds for treating the disease and wiping it out But the resolution was defeated. The state is about as far behind as It is possible to be in the way of public provision sot treating consumption In the meantime thousands are dying, as Dr. Hurty suggests. The state med kal society at a recent riveting at Richmond appointed a committee to investigate, and It may have something to report at the coming legislature.
Indianapolis can certainly lay claim to being the champion convention city. Readers of the local papers almost get tired of seeing where Mayot Bookwaiter made an address of welcome to the delegates to such and such a convention. The mayor, as "mine host" for Indianapolis, is a huge sue cess, as he is a happy speaker on all occasions, but he is having trouble lately to invent something new to say to each convention. At present there ase two big national conventions and a state convention going on here, and there were four the beginning of the week. There have been so many of late that it Is hard to keep track ot ! them. The reputation of Indianapolis In entertaining conventions amply car rles out- the fullness of the famous toast of the late President Harrison, * based upon the Apostle Paul's pride 1 ful claim to citizenship In "no mean city"—an expression that is being cop led widely throughout the country in relation to Indianapolis.
AMODERN BORGIA Michigan Woman Confesses to Poisoning Three And There Are Others. Besides Her Brother and His Wife and Baby, Mrs. McKnight Is Suspected cf Poisoning Eight. Confession Made to Prosecutor at Kalkaska, Mich., Leads to Horrible Suspicions. Kalkaska. Mich.. June 11. —Prosecutor Smith has announced that Mrs. Mary McKnight had confessed to the poisoning of her brother. John Murphy. and his wife and baby. Mrs. McKnight is in jail here. Eight other persons besides the three to whose murder Mrs. McKnight has confessed, investigation shows, have died in the last fifteen years under circumstances that, in view of the woman's confession. are now thought to be very suspicious. All of the eight were’either relatives or intimate friends who died , while living with Mrs. McKnight, or | while she was at their house. All are 1 said to have shown symptoms that are now believed to indicate strychnine poisoning. They are: Ernest McKnight. the womans latest husband; James Ambrose her first husband, who died at Alpena in 1887; Mrs. McKnight, the wife of James E. McKnight, who ; was a partner of Ambrose: Baby Tee-! pie, Mrs. McKnight's niece; Eliza Chalker. another niece, who died at ! Grayling in May, 1892; Sarah Murphy. ! Mrs. McKnight's sister, who also died at Grayling in February, 1893; a Mrs. Curry, who died in Saginaw in 1893, while Mrs. McKnight was at her moth er s house, and Dorothy Jenson, a child who died in Grayling while under Mrs. McKnight's care during the absence of her mother. Investigation of these deaths shows that all of these persons except Mrs. Curry were taken suddenly ill, and showed what are now regarded as unmistakable symptoms of strychnine poisoning. Dr. Leighton, who attended Ernest McKnight. says that he is now confident that McKnight died of strychnine poisoning. Dr. Leighton was baffled by McKnight’s trouble and the suddenness with which it came, but says he can see now that he had every symptom of strychnine poisoning. Eliza Chalker and Sarah Murphy were stricken at the table while Mrs.' McKnight were present. Both died in : convulsions in a few hours. There was no suspicion against Mrs. McKnight in connection with the death of Murphy until she filed a mortgage, on her brothers property after his death, on whicn the figures had. it is alleged, been raised from S2OO to s6oo. An investigation was then begun. The body of John Murphy was exhumed and strychnine was found in the stomach. Mrs. McKnight was placed under , arrest, with the result that she has now confessed. Her confession was entirely voluntary and she seemed per-, fectly sane, although under great mentai atrain. No motive for the crimes can be found. Jessie Morrison In Prison. Lansing. Kan.. June IL—Jessie Morrison arrived at the state penitentiary here yesterday and began to serve a I twenty-five year sentence for killing Mrs. Olin Castle.

A WOMAN'S SYMPATHY Judge Hargis' Daughter Occupies Seat Beside Prisoners. Jackson, Ky., June 11. —The t! rd day of the trial of Curtis Jett and Tom White for the murder of Attorney J. B. Marcum was distinguished by the evidence of B. L. Ewen, the first and leading witness of the commonwealth. Jett and White are being tried Jointly, the indictment iharg.ng them with deliberation in a conspiracy to murder. It is charged that White entered the courthouse while Marcum and Ewen were standing together. and as he p.assed them gave the signal to fire. Ewen testified to seeing White just before and after Marcum v.as shot, and to seeing Jett just after his victim was t arried out of the courthouse. Ewen s testimony cor roborated the statements he had previously made regarding both prisoners. and he withstood the most rigid and lengthy cross-examination The daughter of County Judge Hargis, the leader of the dominant feudists. <x < itpied a seat beside the prisoners. Last night Mrs. Mary Johnson sis ter of the murdered attorney, made a statement which is even more startling than Ewen's admission. In his statement Commonwealths Attorney Byrd said that it would be proved that Jett admitted to Mrs. Johnson that he killed Marcum. In the evidence it was I stated that Jett and White were seen j talking to Mrs. Johnson at the bridge. I Mrs. Johnson now confirms what Byrd said would be her testimony, adding i that she feared to tell this earlier, be lieving that she would he assassinated "As 1 was returning home shortly after the killing." she said. "1 was overtaken by Jett. He spoke to me. i and I said: j “'Jett, did you kill my brother?’ He I replied: " '1 did. but Hargis' money made me j do it.’ He said he was going to leave the country. Then Tom White came up and I asked him if he had anything to do with the murder, and he said he was there but did not fire the shoL" BOUND TO BE A FIGHT Settlers and Militia in Western Kansas Promise to Brush. Topeka.' Kan.. June 11. —Reports have been received here of a fight be tween the settlers and militia in western Kansas over the Dewey affair. The settlers are said to have attacked the militia and sheriff's posse just as the latter forces left the Dewey ranch in Cheyenne county for St. Francis. Telephone wires in Cheyenne county have all been cut and the telegraph service is poor. Enough news has I been received, however, to show that , the Deweys are in great danger and i may be captured by the settlers at ' any time. | A dispatch from St. Francis says the i report of a fight between the two forces is in all probability true, adding 1 that the excitement all through that section of the state is at fever heat The settlers are flocking into St. Francis and all are heavily armed. They are outspoken In their expressions of enmity to the Deweys, and say nothing will prevent the settlers from taking them away from the soldiers when they arrived in St. Francis. The fight is supposed to have been mostly with sharpshooters as most of the farm settlers are at Berry's ranch and at St. Francis. No further requests for troops have been received by Governor Bailey, but they will be sent as soon as the need for them is definitely established Watson in Jail. i Washington. June 11—J M. A.

The death of Kenith. the half myth--1 leal king of Sr’Otiaiai, was one of the ‘ most p’ltiarkable iu all history—that is. if it can consistently be called a historical fact. According to the story. Kenith had killed a son and brother of the warlike Fennella. She for revenge caused Wiltus. the most ingenious artist of the time, to fashion an automatic ■ death dealing machitie, a wonderful ■ statue tilled with hidden springs, lev. ers. etc. When finished and set up, this "brazen image" was au admirable work of art. In its right hand it held a basin ! and in the left an apple of pure gold, both set with diamonds and other preci, us stones. To touch this apple waj to dare death, it lielng so arranged that . one guilty of sueh vaiidaiism would be , ■ immediately riddled by (toisoned arrows shot from loopholes in the body of the statu . Kenith was invited to . come and inspect the wonder, and king- ! iikc and just as Fennella had hoped be , tried to pluck the precious imitation fruit. Tile moment his hand tow-bed tlie incrusted jewel he was tilled with poisoued arrows, dying where he feil. How Ke Eeenpcd.

He endeavored in every way to br?ak the engagement, but without ' success. "Is there nothiug I can do to escape this?" he exclaimed one day in despair. "Yes," remarked the girl's mother, who was present and who had hero the prime mover in the marriage negotiations. "by marrying me."
