Paxton, at Surrey, where his family will join him in a few days. “My child was burned terribly about the face, neck and chest. I applied Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil. The pain ceased, and the child sank into a restful sleep.”—Mrs. Nancy, M. Hanson, Hamburg, N. Y. Ivah Healey has continued to improve and now seems entirely out of danger. Miss M. L.

VANARSDEL & CO.

Wills, representing the railroad brotherhoods, and Secretary Frank Morrison, of the American Federation Thursday urged the house immigration committee to include in the immigrattion bill a strict literary test, such as was vetoed by President Taft. To the school teachers of Jasper county: We want you to come in ano see our stock of candy and get our prices.

Cox, the Medaryville harness maker who suffered a stroke of paralysis in'that town last Sunday is now slightly improved. The Advertiser says that some feeling is manifest in the affected members, which gives rise to the hope that he may regain partial if not full control of the sajne. The Pere Marquette railroad was fined $6,100 and the Wabash assessed S4OO by Judge Arthur J. Tuttle in the U. S. court at Detroit Thursday, the former for failure to obey in full the federal railroad laws, and the latter for the violation of the safety appliance law. ■ Laurant, the magician, was greeted by great crowds at the Y. M. 0. A., as the second number of the winter and for two hours delighted an audience that filled the room to the doors.—Albany Press. At the High School Auditorium, Wednesday evening, Dec. 17th. Russell VanArsdel entertained the Knights of St. Paul at his home Friday evening. About 110 of the members of this young men’s organization of the Methodist church were present. A very delightful evening was enjoyed by all present, after which refreshments were served. Music was furnished by Miss Curnick and Wm. Waymire.

SI.OO a bottle. The Babcock A Hopkins elevator was compelled to close down this morning after every bln was filled, and corn is coming in so rapidly that it will be a hard thing for them to catch up. There are plenty of empty grjjjp cars here, in fact, the side, track is filled up. Elevators at Remington, Fowler and other points are also reported to be closed ub by reason of congestion. Harvey Thornton, who went to Montana several years ago and took out a claim, is here for a visit of Indefinite length. He proved up a claim of 320 acres there, which he could sell for about $7,000. He has 100 acres under cultivation, all of his land fenced an<| a fair house on it. Harve may remain here during the winter, if he can find employment. He has been visiting his sister, Mrs. Dora Thortaton Clark, near New Philadelphia, Ohio. Job work at Republican office.

Judge Field, vice president and general solicitor of the Monon, and Harry Kurrie, general attorney, are today hunting at Parr- on the Kurrie and Thompson farms. More than $1,000,000 in gold will be given to employes of Crane A Co., the Pullman company, the International Harvester company and the Illinois Steel company - for Christmas. Latest figures show that there are 86,212 people who own stock in the Pennsylvania railroad. They are widely scattered throughout the world and about brfe-half of them are women. Gov. Dunne, of Illinois, lia.4 prepared a proclamation, which will be issued in a few days, quarantining Illinois against nineteen states in the matter of tuberculosis dairy cows. Indiana is included in the list. ■/ , Albert J. Beveridge, former U. S> senator from this state, will be the chief speaker at the rally that will conclude the state conference of the progressive party in Chicago Tuesday. His address will be given at the Progressive Club. The superintendent of the heating plants at Purdue University came to Rensselaer yesterday to make an estimate on the cost of heating the Rensselaer school buildings. Based on his report an adjustment will be made of a Jfriefldly controversy between the school board and the city council. The city heats the school buildings from the light plant and an equitable rate for the service is sought by both the council and the school board. Hives, eczema, itch or salt rheum sets you crazy. Can’t bear the touch of your clothing. Doan’s Ointment is fine for skin itching. All druggists sell it, 50c a box. Frank Hill went to Parr today to be Jim Babcock’s guest and to spend the day quail hunting. When Frank was younger and game morie plentiful and his desire was greater and he had more time and before IK learned the game of checkers, Frank was some hunter, but of recent years he has seldom followed the nimrod’s pursuit, but an occasional day is mighty fine sport. We are afraid that Frank will not be able to fill all the orders that he took at the depot this morning, however. Laurant puzzled and delighted the audience with his unique feats in magic. All who saw him last night will be glad to see him again. —New Orleans Picayune. At High School Auditorium, Wednesday evening, Dec. 17th. A fellow who signs his name Sam Sunshine and gives his address as the Y. M. Chicago, has written to Postmaster Tull at Monon, and asked that the p. m. assist in finding him a wife. He modestly suggests that he prefers a rich farmer’s daughter, whlclj shows that Sunshine has an eye to business that should lead to his ultimate success in life even if his matrimonial desires are never fully realized. Sunshine says he'is a cook. If he will also plead guilty to being a launderer and housekeeper and seamstress and dishwasher that might help to land him a “perfect lady” for a wife. Laurant and his magic were in every sense high class and artistic, clever and mystifying. The most remarkable feat performed was to disappear from the center of the stage and appear on the floor of the theatre.—Omaha World Herald. At High School Auditorium, Wednesday evening, Dec. 17th. Roy Stanton and sister, Miss May, returned Thursday from Flora, where their brother, George, who lost his life by burning in the barn on his farm at Rockfleld, was buried Wednesday. Mystery surrounds the burning, although there is every reason to presume that his death was accidental. He had returned from hunting and had fed corn to the pigs in the lot near the barn. It is believed that he discovered the barn on fire and went in to release a calf and was overcome by smoke. There was no reason why he should take his own life, as his domestic affairs were happy and his financial affairs in good shape.

A HORSE VELOCIPEDE

Pedals Not Only Operate Wheels, But Fut Life Into Horse. Something decidedly novel in the velocipede line ju been designed by an Ohio man. \ It might be called a horse velocipede, for want of a bet-

ter word, but the horse will stand a great deai of whipping without moving. The vehicle is designed like a road cart but the third wheel, which is some distance in front, supports the' body of a horse, which moves up and down, as if trotting, when the machine is in operation. The rider sits in the seat of the cart and treads the pedals as he would in an ordinary velocipede, the difference being that when the wheels go around they put life into the horse, and when the machine is going at a rapid rate of speed it is difficult at r distance to distinguish it from a real pony cart The reins are of elastic and stretch as the horse’s head move up and down, and the steering gear is the rod that runs back from the upright that ascends from the forwai d wheel. The saddle and the steering gear are maintained at the same distance from each other.

ENGLISH TURF TRAGEDY.

Owner’s Sudden Death Just as His Horse Won a Great Race. The death of St. Simt>n, perhaps the greatest racehorse of his generation, recalls an almost forgotten tragedy of the turf. Half an hour before the race for the Two Thousand Guineas of 1883 Prince Batthyany, who bred St. Simon and who was one of the most popular racing men of any time, was talking with Lord Cadogan ir the luncheon room of the Jockey Club stand at Newmarket when he suddenly reeled and fell. He was carried to Weatherby’s office and doctors were summoned; but the Prince was beyond a|l human aid, and just before the bell rang for the race for which his colt Gaillard, brother of St Simon, was first favorite he breathed his last A few minutes later "the clear blue sky rang with cheers and shouts as the horses came thundering along, which rose int<- a roar as Gaillard won by a head”; while behind the drawn blinds of Weatherby’s office Galliard’s owner, who had been looking forward so eagerly to this moment, was lying dead. It was owing to the aeath of his owner that Galopin’s great son could not run In the Derby of 1884, which he would almost certainly have won.

Chinese Street Barbers.

It is believed that the Tartars first compelled Chinamen to wear the pigtail, as a mark of inferiority; but what was once~a badge of servitude is now a national pride—a Chinaman would feel disgraced without it. Of course, a lot of shaving of the head

has to be done to keep the rest of the scalp free from hair, so consequently barbers are In great request Many of them do not have shops, simply a chair or two along the street So the scene as shown by our Illustration is a familiar one on the streets of China’s titles.

How Many?

“How many seed'compartments are there in an apple?” he queried. No one knew. “And yet,” said the school Inspector; “all of you eat many apples tn the course of a ykar, and see the fruit every day, probably. You must learn to notice the little things in nature." The talk of the inspector Impressed the cnlloren. They earnestly discussed the matter at recess time, and the teacho- the next'day overheard this conversation In ths playyard. A little girl getting some of her companions around her, gravely said: "Now, children, just B’pose that I’m Mr. Inspector. ~ You’ve got to know more abcut common things. If you don’t you’ll all grow up to be fools Now tell me,” she said, looking sternly at a playmate, “how many feathere has a- hen?”

ISOLATES CAPE HATTERAS.

Its Shifting Sands—Breeding Place of Birds—Sailing the Fishing Skiffs. There are few names more widely known in the United States or localities about which a greater,. Ignorance prevails than Cape Hatteras. Situated aa it is at the angle where the long strip of sand beach from Cape Henry south turns at a right angle to the westward, with the widest/part of Jamlico Sound between it and the mainland and with the beach both west and north cut into several islands by inlets from sound to ocean, its position is most isolated. No means of transportation exist along the beach, and with the nearest railway station from which a regular transportatiJk route is operated nearly a hundred miles away it is an easier place to talk about than to visit. Like all sand promontories, the point of the cape is always moving. An old wreck imbedded deep in the sand and showing only the stumps of her masts and bowsprit and the rusty skeletons of what were once her chain plates and dead eyes is now a quarter, of a mile or more inland. Twenty years ago she is said to have lain in the water, where she struck or drifted .ashore, the land now outside of her having been built up since by the action of the wind and waves. A resident told me that he owned the copper that still remained on her bottom, having bought it as it stood at the “vendue” or wreck sale. I don’t think any one is likely to steal it from him. In the summer time the breeding gulls and terns occupy certain shoals and bare “lumps” out in the sound, and now that the protective laws are being enforced their numbers are rapidly increasing. Herons of various kinds nest in the woods, and so also do a pair or two of bald eagles, and lastlsummer several good sized flocks of brown pelicans enlivened some of the nearby reefs and sandy islands. Two features connected with the sailing of the fishing skiffs used hereabout are new to me. One is that of using a member of the crew as shifting ballast ' A plank is run out over the side, the inner end caught under the lee washboards, while on the outer end with legs dangling over the water sits the man acting as ballast And this not in racing, mind you, but In every day sailing. The other is the practice of “nodding,” as I heard it called. In moderate weather when the skiff is only lightly gliding along one man will stand up alongside the centreboard on the weather side, and facing outward will steadily rock sidewise from one foot to the other with the idea that it makes the boat sail faster. And* perhaps it does. —Charlotte Observer.

The Light of Day.

Did you never, in walking in the fields, come across a large flat stone, which had lain, nobody knows how long, just where you found it with the grass forming a little hedge, as it were, all round it, close to its edges? And have you not, In obedience to a kind of feeling that told you it had been lying there long enough, insinuated your stick or your foot or your fingers under its edges and turned it over as a housewife turns a cake when she says to herself, "It’s done brown enough by this tkne”? What an odd revelation and what an unforeseen and unpleasant surprise to a small community, the very existence of which you have not suspected until the sudden dismay and scattering among its members produced by your turning the old stone over!

Blades of grass flattened down colorless, matted together, as if they had been bleached or ironed; hideous crawling creatures, some of them coleopeterous or horny < shelled —turtle bugs one wants to call them; some of them softer, but cunningly spread out and compressed like Lepine watches (nature never loses g crack or a crevice, mind you, or a joint in a tavern bedstead, but she always has one of her flat-pattern five timekeepers to slide into it); black, glossy crickets, with their long filaments sticking out like the whips of fourhorse stagecoaches; motionless, sluglike creatures —larvae, perhaps—more horrible in their pulpy stillness than even in the infernal wriggle of maturity! But no sooner Is the stone turned and the wholesome light of day let upon this compressed and blinded community of creeping things than all of them that enjoy the luxury of legs—end some Of them have a good many—rush round wildly, butting each other and everything in this way, and end in a general stampede for underground retreats from the region poisoned by sunshine. Next year you will find the grass growing tall* and green where the stone lay; the ground-bird builds her nest where the beetle had his hole; the dandelion and the buttercup are growing there, and the broad fans o’ insect-angels open and shut’over their golden disks, as the rhythmic >aves of blissful consciousness pulsate through their glorified being.—Holmes

The Vanderbllt Fortune.

The Vanderbilt fortune, once the greatest financial power in the United States, probably amounts at the prebent moment, to not far from |BOO,000,009. Of this, William Klssam Vanderbilt, who controls the majority of the family properties, holds in the neighborhood of 1100,000,000, while twelve or fifteen descendants of the commodore share among themselves ths remaining f*M,OO(MMMrMoCtaw’.
