HARKEN YE

To the Voice of Richmond People. 11 you will but listen to your friends and neighbors, they will tell you how the pains and aches of a bad back, the annoyance of urinary troubles, the nervousness, the restlessness that comes from kidney ills, can be relieved and cured. Read what one Richmond citizen says: Mrs. S. E, Lesley of 47 south nineteenth street, says: "My sister suffered from weakened condition of the kidneys for a long time and used many different kidney remedies wishout realizing any benefit. Seeing Dean's Kidney Pills so highly recommended by parties who had used them for similar troubles I got a box at A. G. Luken's drug store for her. They made a marked improvement in her condition. We can highly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to any one suffering from kidney troubles. ' Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. AT THE CAPITAIj " Bits of OoHxi p Political and Otherwise Here Presentee!. Indianapolis, Oct. 2. Lieutenant Governor Newton W. Gilliert, of Angola, who was here today, said: "Everylmdy In our :ivt of the state Is making money. This, I think, is the result of Republican success. 1 am not, however, a believer in the theory that, now that the currency is established on a firm !asis, there will "be no more panics. Iteoent financial leglsl.it Ion will art a Ions wny to prevent panics, hut It is not an absolute preventative. I believe that as Ions as workinjrmen are universally employed at good wages . we will have good times. Something else may l required, but if so I don't know what it may he. I believe there should be some more financial legislation to the end of Increasing the flexibility of the currency. The state board of agriculture Is preparing for the various county papers an abstract of the premiums won by each county at the state fair, together with names of winners. This information will Ih? sent out soon. It will tie shown that Iecatur county won the greatest amount of premium money, while Johnson county won the largest number of premiums. Said President James E. McDonald of the state board of agriculture: "Of the $15.00 paid out as premiums over $12,000 was distributed among the ut-counties of the state and went Into the hands of stock raisers, farmers, poultrymen and producers. It Is a mistake to suppose that Indianapolis gets the sole benefit of the state fair. In fact, very little of the proceeds goes to Indianapolis." J. C. Leach of Kokomo, state supervisor of natural gas, is at the Denison. He does not hold out much hope to private consumers who are depending exclusively on natural gas as their fuel during the coming winter. Said he: "The use of natural gas as a universal fuel is about over. Of course It will be upd for several years yet as a summer fuel and for winter use when supplemented by other fuels. I think, however, that such cities as Anderson and M uncle, which have always had a good supply of gas. will find their gas deficient this year." C. A. R;K)kwalter, the Republican candidate for mayor of Indianapolis, is the favorite with the local betting fraternity in the mayoralty race. The election will take place next Tuesday. Some lets of two to one on Rookwalter have leen taken, but numerous bets at the rate of $5 to $3 on Bookwaiter are posted, at the betting places without takers. Colonel Frank B. Posey, of EvansIlle. Is here to argue in behalf of Joseph Keith, the alleged murderer f Nora Kifer, in supreme court today. He says thre is plenty of corn In Vanderburgh county that will yield from 70 to SO bushels to the acre. A fight for the Democratic congressional nomination in the Third district Is promised. Just now V. W. Stevens, the sturdy farmer of Salem, is being mentioned as a candidate against Congressman Zenor. - Brutal Hazing. Columbia, Mo.. Oct. 2. The first case of hazing that has occurred at Missouri university in many years was reported to the disciplinary committee of the faculty yesterday. S. A. Thompson was the victim. Under the supposition that he was to be Initiated into a secret fraternity he was en ticed to the woods, stripped of his I with switches. His hair was clipped close to his head by his tormentors, who, after hiding his cloihing, deserth! him. as It was very dark and cold the victim suffered severely as he wandered through the trees and bushes in quest of his garments. Thompson reported the matter and requested an investigation, but as the victim was vnable to Identify a single student implicated, nothing has yet been done toward punishing the rualfactors. Kuitive Arrested. New Albany Ind., Oct. 2. Nelson IFritz. who shot and killed John Feister at Bedford last July, was arrested yesterday two miles north of this city, liis sou George was also arrested.

wandering over the country, and were making their way to Kentucky when arrested. Mrs. Fritz was arrested several days after the killing. while en route for Kentucky in a wagon to meet her husband, and she Is now In jail at Bedford as an accessory- Frit was taken to Bedford yesterday.

Too Many For Him. Chicago, Oct. 2. Mrs. Joseph O misty of West 43d street has a.ain astonished the community. This time it is quadruplets. During the seven ye.ithat Mr. and Mrs. Ornisby have 1 t :i married 14 children have been lv rn to them, and heretofore they have bwj either twins or triplets. Seven children are now living. The father has disapiK-ared. and the police are now looking for him. Horse Flesh vs. steam. Upland, Ind., Oct. 2. A Westerwild horse which had eseai?d from stable passed here on the Pan-Handle tracks at break-neck sptHl. with a freight train following closely. The chase had been kept up for seven miles, and it continued west for two more miles, where the animal was brushed from tne track, but not badly Injured. The horse was then captured with a lariat. Antiquity of the Water I a nip. The water pump of today Is but an improvement on a Grecian invention which first came into use during the reign of Ftolemies Fhiladelphos an Energetes, 2S3 to 221 B. C. The name, which is very similar In all languages, is derived from the Greek word iempo, to send or throw. The most ancient description we have of a water pump is by Hero of Alexania. There Is no authentic account of the general use of the pump In Germany previous to the beginning of the sixteenth centuiy. At about that time the endless chain and bucket works for raising water from mines began to be replaced by pumps. In the seventeenth century rotating pumps, like the Pappenham engine, with two pistons, and the Prince Ru pert, with one, were first used. Pumps with plunger pistons were invented b; Morland, an Englishman, In 1C74, and the double acting pump by De la Hire, the French academician. Fnnny Speeebea. Grose relates that Caulneld, meeting Mr. Thomas Sandby. said: "My dear Sandby, I'm glad to see you. Pray, Is It you or your brother?" It was Spaniard who remarked ingeniously that an author should always write his own Index, let who will write the book. Edgeworth relates the story of an English shopkeeper who did pretty well in the direction of the bull proper when, to recommend the durability of some fabric for a lady's dress, he said, "Madam, it will wear forever and make you a petticoat afterward." This is quite equal to the Irishman's rope which had only one end b-ause the other had been cut away. Temple Bar. Keeping; Butter. Good butter will keep sweet for many weeks when it is placed In a crock after being made into rolls wrapped In strong cheesecloth or old muslin and then covered with a brine strong enough to bear up an egg. Saltpeter and sugar may be added to advantage while the brine is still hot in the proportion of a teaspoonful of the former and a tablepoonful of the latter to every four quarts. The brine must, however, not be poured upon the butter until It is entirely cold. To Varnlah Broair. To make a brilliant black varnish for bronze make a bath of equal parts of nitrate of silver and nitrate of copper. Dip the articles to In; treated into this liquid and allow them to remain there for some time. Upon withdrawal heat them over the flame of an alcohol lamp until the black potina color has been reached. Ilia Wants Were Few. "What'll you have?" she asked severely at the breakfast table, for he had been out late the night before and she had not yet forgiven him. "I think," he replied meekly, "that I would appreciate a genial smile and a pleasant word about as much as anything." Exchange. "The Beat Hnsbanda In Eoropf." An English gentleman Irving In Italy whose daughter's husband was an Italian officer said. "Italians make the best husbands In Europe if they have good wives." London Mail. No rqn Is a safe guide who acts from selfish motives. Follow rather the man of principle who has only the broadax of the common good to grind. One Hepefal Sitcn. While I was living In California, writes an Englishman, I had the opportunity of noting the extreme consideration shown to employees by California employers. I cannot recall an instance of a cruel and cutting rebuke from one in authority to a clerk or servant during the seventeen years cf my slay. A friend of mine had a clerk who was always forgetting important duties. Letters would be forgotten, important entries on the books omitted, and messages even were sometimes not delivered. Said my friend to me one morning: "Really, I must speak to John." So John was summoned, and I wondered what manner of rebuke would fall upon his head. "John." said my friend, "it is most astonishing what a very tad memory you have. But I believe that in time it will improve, because I have noticed that you have never once forgotten to draw your salary on the fiist cf the month." John took the hint, and after that m, friend was more faithfully served.

'NATURE'S 31 1 ST A Kl

SOME THAT MEN CONSIDER TO EE REMARKABLE VALUE. Paradoxical aa It May Appear. Perfeetlon of a Preclooa Stoarf ! Larfselr Do to Some Imper.eetj la lt Makiaic by at a re-. Paradoxical as it may apyear, perfection of a gem is largely due some imperfection in its make. Sf little mistake made in the laborttory& : nature produces a defective stj ; wlilch is perfection itself from the If : ida;-y"3 plnt of view. Ninety-nine f 01 every hundred emeralds dug fr' tlie va'.z..' u..- almost white and of 1 It ft vlue, tr.t the hundredth one Is off rich vch-tty green and. If without tj er Caws ihan its color, sells for I carat or 240 times as much as its cS orless brother. The reason of the ri4 color which gives the emerald its va!f is that nature, in making the stone, pi in too much elide of chromium, just the cook sometimes gets too much s:d eratus In the biscuits. The standard 4 perfection in the laboratory of natuO is the colorless emerald, and her dee green ones are some of her failure failures which, nevertheless, delig'jf mankind, however much they may di gust nature. You could buy a ton ui oxide of chromium for the price whit k half a grain of it gives to a cLeap a at common crystal. When nature makes mistakes In niaif ufacturing diamonds, the results ait equally remarkable. Her standard ff a diamond is a pure white stone, buf sometimes a foreign substance gets int the crucible, and the result is a red of blue diamond. A fine white brilliant ol one carat can be bought for $125. but m blue stone of that size would be cheaf at $3,500. A red diamond is of evefj greater value, a red stone of fifteef. grains having been sold for $5,000. Ycij the little particle of foreign material' which nature carelessly let fall Into thi; mixture when she was making thai; stone down in the heart of some primal val volcano Is of less value than 1 grain of common salt and only gal there by mistake. f Nature manufactures In her laboratsry a material called spineL You can buy a block of spinel as large as yon can carry for a few dollars. Sometimes in making spinel small quantities ef chromic acid get into the material and color It a deep red. The pieces so col ored nature rejects as spoiled In tie making and throws them in the dust bin. from which men dig them out and call them rubles. A ruby of thirty-two carats recently sold for $52,000. Yet the material of the cheap spinel aud the valuable ruby are practically the same, save for that small fraction of chromic acid which got into the ruby by mistake. When nature starts out to manufac-! tureiopals, she endeavors to make them without any cracks in them. In this she seldom succeeds, coming nearest to perfection In the Mexican opals, which have few cracks in them and therefore little luster. The fiery glow of the oriental opal and the play of light in the depths of that exquisite stone are due entirely to the numberless cracks which seam the surface of the gem. It must give nature a poor opinion of mankind when she sees him selling the Mexican opals, which are nearly perfect, for 12 cents a carat and paying $25 a carat for her failures, the cracked fire opal of the east. - Not only In gems, but in many other things, does nature make mistakes and failures, the results of which are highly valued by man. The chank shell, a shell much like the conch shell of these shores, is one of the commonest shells on the beaches of India, and millions of them are gathered and burned for the lime that is in them. Yet in a temple near Kaudy, Ceylon, are two chank shells which hold the place of honor in a shrine covered with gold, and no amount of money could buy them from their guardian priests. Their value j consists in the fact that nature was not j quite herself the morning she fabrlcat- j ed these shells and gave a right hand- I ed twist to them Instead of a left hand- j ed one, such as has been given to all j other chank shells, so far as man j knows, since the beginning. j Baron Bothschild once paid $300 a ! dozen for some Schloss Johannisberg j wine, and it is admitted that, taking j everything into consideration, It was j not an exorbitant price. Yet the wine j of the same year from the vineyard di- j rectly adjoining the Johannisberg vine- ; yard, on the same bank of the Rhine, j a vineyard whose soil is, to all appear-1 ances, the same, only brought $5 a dozen. And there Is no special secret about the manufacture of Johannisberg wine or about the variety of grape j used. Its great value comes from a j little joke of nature. In the soil of j the Johann;sberg vineyard there Is an j infinitesimal amount of a certain salt j which is found in the soil of no other vineyard. The admixture is so slight j that, no chemist has ever been able to j Imitate it. yet it is worth many thou- j pa mis a year to the owner of the vine- j yard. I Whfr Gold Looki Greea. Gold can be beaten out so thin that it allows light to pass through it. in which case, though it still appears brilliant yellow by reflected light, it is green as viewed by transmission that is. by the light that passes through it. This curious effect can easily lie observed by laying a piece of gold leaf upon a plate of glass and holding it between the eye and the light, when the gold will appear semitransparent and of a leek green color.

Captain Charley Barr. the skipper of the cnampion yacht Columbia, is the exception to the o'.ii sailorman's rule that "nothing but blue eyes ever makes a sailor." Captain Barr, who la dark unto swarthiness, has a pair of keen black eyes that have landed the Columbia to windward of her rivals about overy time she tried to Ret that advantageous position. Recently, when asked how he managed to land his boat to windward with such surprising regularity. Captain Barr said: "That's an easy trick. My jockeying begins long before the other boat Is in sight. I get out first. I know f:cm where the other feilow is going to come, aud I know approximately the starting line. What more does any man want? I get to windward of where my opponent must appear, and after that, no matter to where I sail, that last dive for the line is in my mind, and I simply keep to windward. And any .man that cannot keep to the wtndward with the Columbia needs to loarn hi business all over again." New York Times. Innnnlt)' Amontt Women. Professor Immer of Berlin, a leading specialist in mental diseases, has been investigating the causes of insanity among women and has come to the conclusion that If women are admitted into competition with men the inevitable result will be a tremendous Increase of insanity among women. He finds that the percentage of women teachers who become insane is almost doul'le that of men teachers. Inquiries were also made about women employed as telegraphers, sales clerks and In the telephone service and, furthermore, with regard to women engaged In the Swiss watchmaking trade. These inquiries showed that In the occupations mentioned a far larger proportion of women than men succumb to mental disorder. Be Sore Yob Read. The man who would like to know something about astronomy must lay out a little scheme of study for himself, get the books which are necessary and have thtm at hand the moment he is at leisure. The man who wishes to familiarize himself with political economy, with politics or with industrial questions, which are now of Bueh importance, must tiud out what i textbooks he ought to have, secure those textbooks and keep them by his side. The man who wishes to know literature does not need to lay out an elaU rate plan which nils him wilb discouragement by its very magnitude, but he does need to decide what author he is going to read next, and he does need to get the lniok and keep it within easy reach. Almost all the great classics are now published in such portable forms that a man can can y a play of Shakespeare, the essays of Bacon, the poeuis of Tennyson or of Browning, a translation of "Faust." Matthew Arnold's criticisms. Emerson's essay;? or John Burroughs' charming transcriptions of nature in his coat ixcktt and substitute them for the newspaper which Is thrust in his face by an eager newsboy and which he buys because he has nothing els; to read.
