Hazel HiV"ird and Rena. Carroll wf.re the
names of . somewhat forlorn but rather
good Icoklns girls of 17 who applied at the
police station last evening for help to get
home to California. They v > cro two of the
latest victims of the WorWi fair. They
left for Ch cage last summer on one of the
cheap excursions from California and vis
ited an aunt whs was then there. The aunt
left , but the two girls decided to stay and
view a little more cbsely the charms of the
World's fair city. Their au > t accordingly
paid their board for n montli and left them.
One dsy when they got home they found
that their landlady hid packed up her things
and their own as well and moved away.
They were without cloth.ug. except what
they had on , and almost without incncy ,
and the landlady waa nowhere to be found.
After hunting for a tlmo for work without
success they decided to walk to California.
They spent thiee ( Bays trudRlng over the
sun-hiked prairies of Illinois , and when
they stopped at a farm house to Inquire
how near they were to California they were
surprised to learn that they had walked
sixty-five miles and that California , was
several thousand nullcs to the westward.
Walking had become monontonous , and they
applied at several towns for aid In the way
of transportation. The last place they
stopped was at Des Molnes. The authorities
gave them each a ticket to Council Bluffs
and a letter to Chief Scanlan asking that
they be helped on their way. The girls
said they had an aunt , Mrs. Madeline De-
Witt , who lived , tley thought , on Spencer
street In Omaha. They would be satisfied
If they could find lucr. They were given a
quarter to pay their fare across the bridge ,
and left the station In high sp' its.

A SUBSTITUTE FOB COFFEE.
The Soy Ucun Drrhtrrd to lie Kqmil to the
Itml Thlni ; .
The agricultural experiment station of the
Purdue university of Indiana has Issued a
circular sitting forth the qualities of the soy ,
or soja , bean ami advocating its use as a
substitute for coffee. The soy bean ( soja
hlsplda ) is a Japanese plant which can be
grown In this country. Thus far , says the
New York Sun , Its cultivation has been confined - ;
fined to the west , .and It Is , apparently , not.
known In the east. It Is described as a'
stiff , bushy plant , which .under favorable
circumstances attains a height of three feet.
There are three large leaves on a leaf stem.
From the axils of the leaves flower shoots
grow , which with maturity produce pods In
clusters ot two and three. Each pod con
tains from two to four seeds , about three-
quarters of a Inch In breadth and a little
longer than broad. One plant often produces
a large number of pods. A farmer In Tlppe-
canoe county , Indiana , has raised 782 beans
on one stalk from a single planted bean , and
had sixteen bushela of beans from one acre.
He has used the s y ban for coffee for saven
or eight years and considers It the best pos
sible substitute. ,
The seed Is planted In rows about thirty
Inches apart with n bean every eight or nine
Inches In the row. While May Is the time for
planting , a good trop has been gathered at
the Purdue statlom from seed planted In the
middle of June. When the beans are rlpo
enough the plants are pulled up and dried In
stacks , after which they are threshed , gen
erally with a flail.
Analyses of samples ot the soy bean grown
at the Purdue stallion and of the true coffee
bean are compare ! In the following table :
The cost of the soy bean Is said to be very
much less than the low-grade coffees nnd
tliose of which cllcory and other adulterants
form a part.
Inquiry among INew York coffee merchants
discovered that the soy bean as a substitute
for coffee was not commercially or otherwise
known there. According to an expert who
' has ben a coffee taster for nearly a quarter
) of a centuir chicory Is the only thing which
can be corjidereJ a substitute for coffee. Dy
substitute he means adulterant , using the
word In a gi/od sense. Chicory alone , as pre
pared by thi Improved process now In use , U
not halt a bad drink , hut no one would dream
of considering It coffee who had ever tasted
the real article. Chicory , however , mixed
with a good grade of coffee Is a-better and
more wholesome drink than some of the Ion
grade coffees. The expert said that while hi
and his partners sold pure coffee to theli
customer. ! unless orderul otherwise , tlicj
used coffee mixed with chicory themselves.
Chicory , although cor.slde-ed the best adul
terant. Is not tie only one. Several of tin
cereals play a part In the preparation ol
cheap coffee , If they do not pretend to b (
substitutes. It IB said that the entire Canu
dlan pea crop aiid a large part of the Mlchl
gan crop are devoted to the adulteration o
coffee. Kye and barley ore aUo used as adul
terants. The Massachusetts adulterant knowi
as P. P. IB said to contain as an Ingredlcn
Boston brown broad.
There Is a ceneral Impression prevalen
that chicory and the other coffee adulter
ants are detrimental to health. The author
Ity already cltcl says that , on the contrary
pure coffee is more harmful than the adul
terants. They , Indeed , are h&rmless , whll
the evil effects ot coffee taken In large quan
titles are well known. He spoke particular ! ;
of the chicory us now prepared. The Im
provemcnt In Us preparation , he said , wa
due to the McKlntey bill , which , by cuttln
oft the poorly prepared German chicory will
Us high duty , had set American Ingenult ;
at work to btlterlng chicory as a toffe
adulterant. T ! c cereals used as adulterant
of coffee , he thought , A'cre also harmless
but liu was apparently doubtful as to th
healthfulness cf Hoaton brown bread use
as a potation.

II Is a curious fact that , while man's first
cffnrts In the way of gaining control of elec
trical force were directed toward bringing
the lightning harmlessly to earth , less pro
gress has been made here than In any othei
direction. Science accepted Franklin's theory
and the public accepted his llght-nlng rod
as the true theory and adequate : solution oi
the problem. Half a century ago lightning
rols ( .domed nearly ail houses and barns
ana vlthln a much moro recent time the
llglhtnlng-rod man was reaping a golden har
vest. Now , very few new houses Iiave rod :
put on them , and the farmer avoids tin
lightning-rod man not only from flnancla
but ether reasons. The popular judgnieni
seams to be , after long experimenting , thai
ths lightning rod I : "no good. "
But meantime , the havoc by lightning con
tlnues each summer , nays the Sprlngfieli
( Mass ) Republican. A publication ! recent ! ]
Issued from the government weattoer bureai

This Is of particular Interest In view of th

" ' ' 'Black Bart ' " the
"You'v * heard o' , btgan
stage driver to the Chicago Tribune man.
"Well , tl.ere never was a stage robber to hard
to ketch. All up the Eel river Into Trinity
an * Hum bolt was his fav'rlte etampln" groun' ,
partlo'larly 'tween hers'n Uklah. Ho was a
nice kind o' clmp , awful polite , an' neat
handed , an' never smasned things moro'n
was necessary to get Ir. ins work thorough.
He lied a gift o' po'try which he used on all
proper 'cnslons. Wlrn he got n good haul
from Wclls-Fargo ho Rener'ly sent 'em some
pretty verses o1 thanks , an' the cxiircss box
he emptied was sure to hev po'trjJ InsUh.
Sometimes ho nailed a rhyme-letter on n
tree or writ It on a smooth stone , nt' always
signed 'Black Hart , ' which was the name he
glv ? himself. This went on fur twelve years ,
an' all the tlmo there wns a reward of $5,000
set fur his capture , an * the officers s.cro well
nigh crazy to git him. Ho was itee'ble to
ladles , an' was Jest the kind o' f.lloiv they'd
look at twice , an' that's how they managed
to ketch him at last.
"One day ho robbed the up-comtn * stage
an' then cut 'cross the divide an1 held up
the Houn' Valley stage that sain * afternoon ,
Such a run o' luck must hcv made Mm care
less , fur he sauntered up to a sheep herder's
shanty an' asked fur grub. MrCrciry's girl
waited on him , an' was mlghl'ly tal < en with
his good ctothes an' pleasant talkln , ' . . He
paid her a dollar fur his supper an' P > en
went off , corryln" a small valise. Thn sheriff
was red-hot on his track , so he hel to drop
the valise In the woods , an' Uoj : foun' a
cuff Inside with a 'Frisco laundry mark on ,
an' this Is how the sherltT got on to where hi-
was stoppln' In the city. Moll McCrcary tole
exactl ) how ho looked , an' there wn'n't much
trouble flmlln' him atter that. He vr.n put In
state's prison , but managed to pt out after
six years , wlun lie lit out d'rectljfur the
same old spot an' held up the WMIts stage
the first day. He got $1,000 he always got
money an' then went In hiding ! i. I he rhem-
Isal on the McCrcary range. It's kind o'
queer , but If he didn't com : nigh glttln'
kctahcd again through that same girl ! She'd
married a man called Van , an' he was out
huntln' , an' mistook the robber fur a
lack sow he was after. He llfteil his gun
o fire , when 'Black Bart' threw up his hands
n' crlsd : 'Fur God's take , don't ahoot. '
"What the devil are you sulkln * fur ? " Van
aid , grlnnln' , fur he didn't think o' nothln'
wrong.
"Tho man answered easy like that he'd
een nappln' under the hushes , anffl must he
ft or he'd miss the down stage. Van told
la wife how the imn looked , an' ' she said
ho'd bet a roun * sum It was 'Dkck Hart. '
iVlicu the Uklah constable culled to Inquire If
hey'd seen anythln' of the robber at Me-
reary's Van shouted before ho'd opened his
mouth :
'I know who you're after. It's 'Black
Bart. ' "
But they didn't ketch him this time , and
iVells-Fargo got some verses next ( Hay thank-
n' them for the loan o' $1,000 , an llnlshln'
ip with :
" 'I give you the word of a gentleman hard
.iressed. That I leave this state Ciirevcr , so
your mind kin be at rest. '
An' he must V done It , fur there hain't
aothln' been seen o' him since. " ,
Heroism Hunt In the I'r.nilly.
On the afternoon of July 19 several of
the boys of Fort Illley went swimming In
the Kansas river , says the Army and Navy
Journal. Young Hoyle , son of Lieutenant
Hoyle , Second artillery , 1C years old , was
carried under by the current. Edward
Taylor , son of Captain S. W. TajJor , Fourth
artillery , seeing his playmate's danger , swam
to the rescue. The drowning lad grabbed
him and they both sank together. Young
Taylor shook himself free when they came
up and tried to take his little friend by the
back of the neck as young Hoyle was going
down for the last time. Falling in that the
brave boy dived under the water and caught
his playmate by the hair and pulled him
to the river bank , where he Blood him on
his head to tree his lungs , unassl&tcd by the
other lads , who were paralyzed by fright.
Master Edward Taylor , when 4 years old ,
was saved from drowning at Fort Adims by
his brother , Sidney W. Taylor , aged 10 years.
The latter received n slhcr modal
from the city ot New York for his brave
act.

The most wholesome and the plcasanteat
summer drink made.
Guaranteed to meet the requirements of
the Iowa and Nebraska liquor laws.
It Is not a new drink , but lias stood the
test of years and has steadily grown In
popularity. Rend the anuljsls nnd testimo
nial of a well known chemist :
Office of Prof , Nell Johnson ,
Lincoln , Neb. , April 8th , 1885.
Having made an analysis of a compound
known as B. n. or Barley Beer , I found it
to contain 0.014 per cent , of absolute alcohol ,
which Is a much less per cent , than found
In any temperance bcverngc on'the market
There Is no more alcohol tJian Is necessary
to preserve the vegetable matter. It Is per"
fectly harmless as a drink , , and Is no sen39
