From a number of complaints coming, in, j Richmond must bo s becoming quite a' place for bunco-steerers. Isn't funny what embarrassing questions new councilmen are apt to ask? Who would have though neither, the mayor or tho city, attorney knew what Is done with the light plant fund? Admiral Schley for the Senate? We, thought there were enough sly senators already. Representative Watson Is right there with the goods when its comes to looking after the interests of his constituents. He now sends the glad tidings to the farmers of the 4 Sixth district that a cure for hog cholera has been found. . , i . Tho confidence of the people In the Republican , party Is stronger than ever. The Chicago elections on Monday resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Grand Old Party. ' The citizens of Richmond won't kick if council does go a little slowly in its Joint work with the P. C. C. & St. Louis R. R. As we have discovered In tho. past the easterners are not the only ones who can lay claim to have been "gold bricked" by this road. But still let us hope. this latest action, of council will not add to President 'Cassatt's nervousness. It Is too bad one of the local vaudeville houses cannot find time to reproduce that humorous : sketch entitled, ,4Tho Democratic Convention at Oreenfleld.'.or Discarding tho Cloak of Independency," by the Rev. Kuhn and "Stokes"' Jackson and Tommy Taggart. The packers deny all the . charges contained In the message President Roosevelt sent to Congress. The Standard Oil Trust did the same thing,' but the investigation afterwards showed them up in even worse light than at first reported. Those twelve young lad3 who stole Ice cream are getting off easily. Many a man has had to go to prison for stealing a loaf of bread while starving. What has tho mayor got against Richmond that he is so opposed to a 15.000 appropriation for the centennial? Why this sudden economy anyway? They have certainly been very free spenders la the past The Rev. Kuhn. "Stokes" Jackson, and Tommy Taggart! "That's all." JACKS0NBURG. tPalladlum Special. Jacksonburg, June 5.

FOR PURE He is Doing all in His Power to Bring Measure to Vote. HE ISSUES A STATEMENT TELLS WHAT HAS HELD BACK THE BILL SIXTH , DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN WELL INFORMED ON LEGISLATION. Palladium Special.! Indianapolis, June 5. A special from Washington says that Speaker and "Whip" Watson are growing a trifle weary , of insinuations that the House (leadership, acting in behalf of special interests, is engaged in strangling the pure 'food bill. Today Mr. Watson made the followng statement: "There, is no doubt that the sentiment of the -House, as a, whole, is in favor of pure food legislation. As far as I am Informed' not a 6ingle Indiana member is opposed to it. There is no intention, and never has been the slightest intention, on the part of the House organization to prevent consideration of it. Unquestionably it will bej considered fc at this session of Congress and placed in some shape or other." "What is holding the bill back?" he was i asked. "Thp.puro foodtbill,is not in committee,'' as 'stated in some of the newspapers,"-he replied. "The bill was reported to, thejHouse on March 6 and on March 29 , the i speaker ' recognized Mr. (Hepburn,chairman . of ' the 'Committee5 on Interstate.and 'Foreign -Commerce, to task unanimous consent to make. this billprivile'dged' on' and after April10. ?Tfiat consent was granted, but bills .of jliigher " privilege, such , as appropriajlonibills, intervened and the purefodd1bilrlo8tits prlvelege under that 'order. "The pure food, bill . still has Its privileged i position, $and its , consideration rests k with the House and not with thefsrfelfker, andjany day a majority of the f Houselcan take up the pure food blll;as against all other bills. These are the facts taken from the Congressional Record." Richmond. and Eaton Pike. tPalladlum Special. ProgresB.IO.,; June 5. Mrs. G.,A. Laird and ; family J visited ! M. A.

The Storr of an iDTtitlon. The power loom was the "invention of n farmer's boy, who had never seen or beard of such a thing. He fashioned one with his penknife, and when he got It all done he showed It with great enthusiasm to his father, who at once kicked it all to pieces, saying he would have no boy about him who would spend his time on such foolish things. The boy was sent to a blacksmith to learn a trade, and his master took a lively interest In him. He made a loom of what was left of the one his father had broken up and showed it to his master. The blacksmith saw he had no common boy as an apprentice, and that the Invention was a valuable one. He had a loom constructed under the supervision of the boy. It worked to their perfect satisfaction, and the blacksmith furnished the means to manufacture the looms, and the boy received half the proQts. In about a year the blacksmith wrote to the boy's father that he should bring with him a wealthy gentleman, who was the inventor of the celebrated power loom. You may be able to judge of the astonishment at the old home when his son was presented to him as the inventor, who told him that the loom was the same as the model that'he had kicked to pieces the previous year.

The Pointer. There Is as much fallacy in attempti Ing to prove the origin of pointing as in a like attempt to prove the origin of eating. As a matter of fact, the pointing act commonly exhibited by the pointer and setter is an Incident of the capture or attempted capture of food by dogs, and also by wolves and foxes. Coyotes have been seen to draw and point on prairie dogs and grouse In precisely the same manner that the pointer and setter draw on game birds. There were the same rigidity and stealth, the pause to Judge of distance and opportunity and the final rigid pause when all the energies are concentrated for the final spring to capture. All the phenomena displayed by the dog family Indicate that the drawing and pointing In the pursuit of prey were ever natural traits. It may be reasonably believed that man could not breed the pointing instinct out of the dog If he attempted to do so. Forest and Stream. A Gentle With. It was their honeymoon. They had moved Into a pretty suburban bouse and were getting settled cozily at last. "I have something for you," she said when he came home from the office. "A present?" "Yes. You have no night key, so I had one made for you. Here It is." "That was very thoughtful of you. But how did you come to take so much trouble?" "I wanted it as a kind of barometer. You'll let me look at it now and then, won't you?" "Certainly." "I'm not going to say you mustn't go out evenings, and I'm not going to sit up until you come home when you are out late. I only hope," she said coaxiugly, "that every time I look at it the key will be a little bit rustier, and then I will know that home pleases you more than any other place." The Fountain Pen. The fountain pen is not an invention of recent years. In Samuel Taylor's "Universal System of Shorthand Writing," published In 1780, we find proof of the fountain pen's great age. "I have nothing more to add," wrote Samuel Taylor, "for the use or instruction of the practitioner, except a few words concerning the kind of pen proper to be used for wrltmg shorthand. For expeditious writing some use what are called fountain pens, into which your ink is put, which gradually flows when writing, from thence into a smaller pen cut short to fit the smaller end of this instrument, but it is a hard matter to meet with a good one of this kind." The Forlc. It is about 1,900 years ago since the fork made Its appearance in Europe. In 09 A. D. a eon of. the doge Pletro Orsolo had wedded in Venice the Brizzantine Princess Argila, who produced at the wedding breakfast a silver fork and gold spoon. Then the high Venetion families followed suit, and these martyrs to fashion pricked their Hps with the new Instrument. The fork prospered, however, and spread over Italy. In 1379 it had traveled as, far as France, and In 1G08 a traveler brought it direct to England. A young and smart looking Scotch clergyman was to preach a "trial" sermon In a strange church. Fearing that his hair might be disarranged or that he might have a smudge on his face, he said to the sexton, there being no mirror in the vestry, "James, could you get me a glass?" James disappeared and after a few minutes returned with something under hisjeoat, which, to the consternation of the divine, he produced In the form of a bottle, saying, "Ye mauna let on aboot it. meenlster, for I got it as a special favor, and I wadna hae got it at all if I had na told them It was for you." Harper's WeiMc1 Cigar Smoke and Love. In Slam the lighting of a cigar lndl cates a betrothal. In that country a person wishing to become betrothed to the girl of his choice offers her a flower or takes a light from a cigar or a ciga rette if she happens to have one in her mouth, and thereupon, provided there Is no impediment In the birth months and years of the respective parties. steps are at once taken to arrange for the payment of the dowry. The fami lies of the bride and bridegroom have each to provide at least $1,000. In Ca labria, as In certain parts of India, a lighted taper or a lighted pipe betokens the acceptance of the suitor for the hand of a lady to marriage. In Siberia it is the custom that when a suitor has been accepted by a girl she presents him with a box of cigars and a pair of slippers as a sign that be is to be master in the house. - Take Hood's Sarsaparilla To purify, vitalise and enrich your blood, create an appetite and give you strength.

The Owprey. Allusion Is often made, especially in fashion journals, to "osprey" feathers. Few words have been more loosely bapdied about than this bird name. The Roman author Tllny's "ossifraga" (bone breaker) has been identified with the lammergeyer, a vulture that is reputed to break up bones too big for it to devour whole by dropping them from a height upon rocks. But both "osslfrage" and "osprey," a newer form, came to be applied to quite another bird, the fish hawk, which Is now the true "osprey." Yet the "osprey" feathers more properly egret feathers, or aigrettes do not come from this bird, but from the- egret, or lesser white heron. The Sea Otter. The sea otter combines the habits of a seal with the intelligence and amusing character of the otter. When met in herds far out at sea, which is but seldom now, they are commonly seen swimming on their backs. They even eat their food lying in this position on the water and nurse their young ones on their chests between their paws, exactly as a south sea island mother swims with her baby in the water. When swimming in this attitude they even shade their eyes with their paws when the sun dazzles them. One of Ilia Inferior. "ne says he always tries to be polite to his inferiors and Hey, where are you going?" "Going to find him and give him a licking." "What for?" "I met him this morning, and he was as polite as a dancing master." Houston Post. The Other Way. The teacher had been talking about a hen sitting on eggs, says English Country Life, and, with the incubator in mind, asked if eggs could be hatched in any other way. "Yes, sir," said an experienced person of nine. "Put 'em under a duck." Proficient. When western Iowa was newly settled the, farmers In an Isolated section banded themselves together as a school district and proceeded to choose one of their number committeeman. A log schoolhouse was erected, and soon a young woman came that way seeking a chance to teach. The committeeman was designated to ascertain her fitness. When the time for the ordeal arrived the public official was at his wit's end. He bad been examined himself often enough, but that was when he was attending district school fifty years before. Hie very thought of conducting an examination himself, and for a teacher at that, staggered him. He could not think of a question to ask. The young woman sat waiting, and the old man teetered nervously on his tiptoes. "Well, now, Miss Burden," he said cautiously at last, "kin you say the alphabet back'ards?" Miss Burden could, and did. "Fine!" cried the committeeman. "I'll Just indorse your certificate." He wrote it thus: "Fully profeeshunt." A Great Stamp Forgery. The most colossal stamp forgery on record entailed the successful swindling of collectors throughout Europe in 1889. One day the French papers announced that King Marie I. of Sedang. an island in the vicinity of China, was coming to Paris. As it hap pened, this self created monarch wa an ex-officer of the French navy, and his appearance in Paris created considerable sensation. As soon as his majesty had been duly "advertised" sets of seven different postage stamps marked "Sedang" and bearing three half moons appeared, and so great was the demand for them that in less than a month they realized 1,000 francs each. Not until the king and his min isters had reaped fat fortunes In thli manner was it discovered that th whole thing was a hoax and the stamp: consequently worthless. It has gone out of fashion to boast of never reading ads. Those who do not nowadays are inclined to keep quiet about it, as they would about any other personal shortcomina. . .
