TO SIGN THE NOTE.
For i Nutlonul Park.
Tho national park of 1,297 square
miles proposed at tho headwaters of
tho Mississippi will, if it is established,
bo tho first in tho centrnl region of tho
country. Thero is a resolution before
congress to investigate tho subject.
Didn't Mill It Var.
Two weeks before tho election the
republican state committee in New
York published u forecast of tho re
sult by counties, which guvo n plu
rality for McKinlcy ovwr Jlryin of
134,000. The actual figures aro 143,000.
Cost In Not Couxlilorwl.
Though tho bottom of lioston har
bor is of tenacious olny filled with
bowlders, It is to bo deepened to tho
depth of 113 feet to accommodate tho
biggest ocean steamers. Tho work
will cost millions, but tho deepening
of channels is tho order of tho day,
and it pays.
Trunin In KumHiim Couutrlen.
Tho stato department at Washing
ton has issued an interesting pam
phlet mado up of consular reports re
garding tho existence of trusts in the
various European countries. These re
ports show that, tho mania for trade
combinations is by no means conilncd
to America. Tho tendency to unite for
the regulation of prices and to do
away with competition is as universal
us trade itself.
Wiitnriiwlone In Winter.
Watermelons of northern growth
may bo enjoyed in winter by follow
ing the plan adopted by Uncle Mlko
Morris, a farmer living near Stanhope,
la. Last summer he selected a num
ber of choice melons and put them
in u cave, after sealing the steins with
wax. Last week ho cut una and
found It as fresh and crisp as though
It had just been taken from tho vine.
All this is vouched for by u local
paper.
Tim latent Kllxer.
Prof. Loeb, of thu university of
Chicago, discovered that common salt
furnishes tho force which makes thu
heart beat. When a man's heart stops
heating, therefore, it will be necessary
to inject only the right solution of
sodium chloride into his veins in order
to start tho organ to going again
and restore activity and life. Thero
is one excellent feature about, tho now
elixir of life It is cheap. This is a
great improvement upon tho common
run of elixirs.
Fruuro'H Population Stationary.
Franco alone, of all tho great civ
ilized nations, Jms for years past been
practically stationary In population.
England, Germany, Jmssia, even Aus
tria, aro making constant increases
in their inhabitants, but Franco's pop
ulation luiB exhibited very little
change for a third of a century. Tho
excess of births over deaths in Franco
is 1809, us now mado public, was only
31,000. Four of tho nino years siuro
1890 showed a falling off In popula
tion, and flvo of them revealed gains.

Complete Compliance.
Pekhi, J)cc. 31. The Chinese pleni
potentiaries have been unexpectedly
ordered to sign tho preliminary joint
note nntl have notified tho foreign
envoys to that effect. Tho Chinese
plenipotentiaries themselves were
greatly astonished at receiving tho
Imperial instructions. Neither Li
Hung Chang nor J'rlneo Chlng had
expected success in persuading tho
court under ten days. Tho emperor's
instructions ore to agree fully to the
note, but to endeavor to get the best
terms possible, particularly in tliu
mutter of limiting the number of tho
legation guards and also as to the
places where these are to bo located.
Tho plenipotentiaries are instructed
to endeavor to limit the number of
army posts along tho line of railway
to as few as possible and finally to re
tpiest tho powers not to destroy the
forts, but merely to disarm them.
Foreigners HatlHlled with Note.
Pekln, Dec. 31. Tho foreign com
mittees in Pekln aro greatly satisfied
at tho decided tone of the collective
nolo and the assertion that tho pow
ers aro determined to entertain no
proposals for thu modification of their
demands. It is understood LI Hung
Chang sent a memorial to tho throne,
couched in very strong terms, urging
complete compliance.
BAD NEWS FROM KITCHENER
Moor Capture l'ont lit Helvetia, Killing nuil
WnuuitliiK (SO IlrltUh Soldlern unil
Taking 1JOO 1'rlftouerx.
Loudon, Dec. 31. Tho war oiTico
has received tho following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria,
December 30: "Gen. Lyttleton re
ports that our post at Helvetia was
captured yesterday morning by the
Doers. About, SO were killed and
wounded and 200 taken prisoners.
Col. Kitchener reports that he is fol
lowing with a small force in thu
track of tho enemy, Helvetia being
rcoeeupied by Peeves, who has been
reinforced from Delfast. Helvetia
was a very strong position on the
Maohadodorp-Lydcnberg railway and
was held by a detachment of tho
Liverpool regiment. Am asking for
further information."
While Lord Kitchener sends bad
news for England on tho closing day
of tho 'year, tho press continues to
take a surprisingly hopeful view of a
grave situation and of revelations of
an enormously wide Held of Doer no
tivlty. Gen. Dcwet is still at large.
Kimberley is isolated. The Doers aro
in forco enough to have captured a
strong position at Helvetia, in the
Lydenburg district, while judging
from Lord Kitchener's very recent ml
vices, no progress is being made
against the Door invaders in Capo Col
ony. According to further telegrams re
ceived yesterday, Zerust is practically
besieged, but has provisions suffi
cient for Uvo months. Tho garrison
at Ottoshoop has been withdrawn to
Lichtenburg.
All dispatches arriving in Lon
don agree that the Capo Dutch show
no inclination to rise, but on tho con
trary, appear to be tired of tho war
and desirous of peace. Many refuse
to supply thu Doers with, food and
are willing to give information to the
Dritish regarding Doer movements.
Kimberley Surrounded by loern.
Criiddoolc, Capo Colony, Dee. 30.
Kimborly is almost isolated by Doer
raiders. Provisions aro at famine
prices. Tho military took charge of
all tho foodstuffs December 2U.
THE LIMIT IS FIXED.

Copenhagen, Dec. 31. Who United
States minister, h. S. Swenson, has
informed tho Danish government that
tho United .States oilers 12,000,000
krone ($3,3(10,000) for the Danish An
tilles ami will not give more.
Ileuy Full of Snow Iteported.
St. .loseph, Mo., Dec. 31.--A severe
snowstorm set in late yesterday after
noon with it constantly lowering tem
perature. Telegraphic reports from
all sections of Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and northern Missouri show th'j
fall to be heavy. Winter in many sec
tions of these states, as well as
throughout the west generally, has
been greatly in need of a heavy
blanket of snow, which will afford
ample moisture as well ns protection
to thu grain from severe freezing.
Alliance to Defeat Khlp Subsidy lllll.
Washington, Dec. 30. Senator Pct
flgrew, in nlliancu with Senators
Allen, of Nebraska, and Dutler, of
North Carolina, has formed a combi
nation in tho senate for thu purpose
of defeuting tho ship subsidy bill, ire
calls it a monstrous schemo of in
luqlty and spoliation.

C. T. i;. Securing Ilonil.
Wichita, Kan., Dec. 31. The caso of
Mrs. Carrie Nation, charged with des
troying the fixtures and paintings in
the Carey hotel bar, was continued
until January 15. The local members
of tho W. C. T. U. have wired John G.
Woollcy, late presidential candidate
on thu prohibition ticket, to fight her
case. Tho courtroom was filled
with white rlbboners, who accom
panied Mrs. Nation to her cell, where
she conducted a prayer meeting.
IUrn. Nation rernlU In KemulnliiK In Jail,
Wichita, Kan., Dec. 31. Mrs. Carrie
Nation, who wrecked tho bar at tho
Carey hotel, Is still firm in her pur
pose to refuse bail and insists upon
remaining in her cell. Tho W. C. T.
U. secured Saturday bond and went
to tho jail for the purpose of liberat
ing Mrs. Nation. She, however, firm
ly refused it, and said that under no
circumstances would she step out of
tho jail until tho charge against her
is cleared. Shu says that shu can do
more good to the cause by remaining
in jail than by going out on bond.
CODY'S GREAT SCHEME.
Ho linn Secured Control of 7,O0O Acre o
Wyoming Dencrt Lund and Will
Try tolteelulmlt.
Washington, Dec. 31. Col. William
F. Cody, known to almost every civi
lized nation of tho earth as "Duffalo
Dill," secured patents to 27,000 acres
of thu public domain in Wyoming.
On the land which ho has secured he
expects to form and build up a great
settlement of whites, which will turn
an arid sandy wastu into a fertile
and populous plain, and incidentally
enrich himself and his associates in
thu deal. He acquires litis to it un
der what is known as the Carey net.
Within u short time lie expects to
divide tho land into farms of 10C
acres each, and so situate them that
advantage can bu taken of tho system
of irrigation installed. Tho climate,
ltu says, is all that can be desired,
and he believes that he and his as
sociates will have no trouble in tak
ing hundreds of people out to the
northwest to buy land and make
their future homes.
AS HE WISHED.
Dentil Came to Samuel McDonald, tlie Mur
derer of F. II. Morrlii, Auditor of
the War Department.
Washington, Dec. 31. Samuel Mc
Donald, who one week ago shot and
killed F. II. Morris, auditor for the
war department, died Saturday from
tho self-inflicted wounds ho received
at the time of tho murder. It was
thought he had a fair chance of re
covery, owing to his remarkable
physique, but he was determined to
diu and so informed the attendants
nt the hospital. He was carefully
guarded and prevented from inflicting
any further injuries on himself but
for two days he refused to take nour
ishment as far as possible. Tho phy
sicians say deatli was duo more than
anything else to McDonald's deter
mination not to live. It was a remark
nblu exhibition of will power.

Puttigrew, son of Senntor Pettigrew,

CLOSENESS PERSONIFIED.
Dreamed. lie Hntl io Pay a Dollar for
a Cab anil Wn Afraid to Go
to Sleep Ajrnln.
There's a good story told of a young fel
low here noted for his cloecncss. He went
to epend the night with a friend. During
the entire night he betrayed much restless
ness, which kept tho host wide awake, and
finally the slumbcrcr betrayed signs of vio
lent emotion. "He's going to have a night
mare," said the friend, "hut he always
grumbles so when you wake him up that
I hate to disturb him." He waited awhile
longer, Bitting up in bed staring at the mis
erable sleeper, and, finally becoming
alarmed, he roused him. He sprang up in
bed, glared wildly around and said:
"Where am I ? I don't see the storm?"
"Why, here in my room," said his host,
soothingly; "you remember you stayed nil
night with me? I beg your pardon for wak
ing you up, hut you carried on so I had to."
Hcg your pardon," gasped the guest. "I
Khali never be grateful enough to you. I
dreamed I was out with Miss Dud and a ter
rible storm came, up, and my shoes were
new, and I was just ordering a coupe for
two when you roused me. Old hoy, you
have saved mo a dollar."
And the host says ho was actually afraid
to po to deep again that night for fear the
eoupe would come, soya the Louisville

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is nt least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, mid that is Catarrh. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to tho medical fraternity. Catarrh,
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Curo is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of tho disease, and giving tho patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura
tive powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.
