    Society Woman Raises Track.
Near the pretty little town of Derby,
Conn., is a farm which is managed by
1 gifted society woman who in her
Jay has figured conspicuously in most
European courts. The woman is Miss
Frederica Sanford, daughter of Henry
S. Sanford, at one time United States
minister to Belgium. Miss Sanford
personally supervises and works the
place, raising “garden truck” and
chickens. These she takes to Derby
regularly, finding ready sale in the
markets and hotels for all sh~ can of
fer. Her widowed mother and her
younger sister, Wilhelmina, live in
the old Sanford homestead in town.
Here Miss Sanford generally passes
her nights, but from early spring till
late in the fall she is up and away tc
her truck farm at daylight, often re
maining there till sundown. In this
way she makes a comfortable if sim
ple living for the family, besides be
ing able to indulge in some of the ele
gancies.
Fighting Temperature Is 85.
Professor Dexter, of the University
of Illinois, has been investigating the
effects of weather on morals and finds
that the desire to fight rises with the
thermometer, but stops at 85 degrees;
wilts after that as the mercury rises.
Assault cases are therefore -ommoner
in summer than in winter. Drunken
ness, however, lessens with summer
and increases with the coming of cold.
Suicides are at a minimum on bright
days with a high barometer and in
creases as the wind rises.
A FEARLESS PHYSICIAN.
Benton. 111., Sept. 30th.—Much com
ment has been caused by the action of
Dr. R. H. Dunaway, a physician here
who for over a year past has been rec
ommending Dodd's Kidney Pills tc
those of his pauents who suffered from
Rheumatism, Bright’s Disease, Dia
betes or other Kidney Troubles.
Dr. Dunaway also published an open
letter last May stating positively that
he himself had been cured of Diabetes
by Dodd’s Kiduey Pil.s, and that, after
he had concluded he was going to die.
He is a well man today and says he
feels it his duty to do as he has done
and is doing because Dodd's Kidney
Pills saved his life
Swiss Anti-Swearers.
In Switzerland and Italy good people
go about with little cards containing
pledges against swearing. These are
presented whenever the bearers hear
some one indulging in profanity. The
penalty for violating the pledge is a
small self-imposed fine, to be paid to
charity.
The way for a man to keep a secret

A Big: Tree for St. Louis.
An effort is to be made to remove
a large red oak tree from the wildest
section of Arkansas to P'orest park,
St. Louis, for the Louisiana Purchase
exposition. The tree is 160 feet high
and 12 feet in diameter at the base.
A double tramway will be built from
the tree to the river, where it will be
floated and towed to St. Louis. The
tree will be dug up b> the roots in
stead of being cut down, and none
of the branches will be trimmed.
Says He is 126.
Dr. Charles Smith, a physician of
Philadelphia, contends that he was
born in Cairo, 111, in 1775—126 years
ago. He says that he can produce
indisputable proof that he was more
than 30 yeacs old when he was grad
uated at the medical college at Jena
in 1808.
Schmidt, Champion Rifle Shot.
Private Schmidt, of Company D.
Fourteenth United State infantry, now
kk camped at the rifle range near Mount
Clemens, Mich., made a score at shoot
ing at 600 yards that the broke the
record of the whole army. The target
was a dummy man. Nineteen out of
twenty of his shots took effect, any
of which would have caused instant
death in a living man, while the twen
tieth shot would have inflicted a seri
ous or fatal wound. Schmidt's achieve
ment is said to be not only unparal
leled in United State arm rifle shoot
ing records, but also without precedent

WISE PAINTING
Not much wise painting
done; poor paint, mostly; too
cheap. Nobody wants it
poor; everybody wants it

Devoe ready paint is cheap
because it isn’t poor; it’s un

materials.
Wise painting is—Paint in

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations From South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle—The receipts of cattle were not
very heavy as compared with those ol
the last several days. Packers seemed'
to have quite liberal orders, and as a re
sult the market was active and fully
steady on all desirable grades. The sup
ply of cows and heifers seemed light after
the big runs of the last few days, as
there were only about thirty-five cars on
sale. Buyers took hold with considerable
life and paid just about steady prices
for anything at all good-. The medium
grades were a little dull, as has t»e*m
the case all the week, and on such kinds
the market was barely steady. Bulls,
calves and stags sold again today in just
about the same notches they have for
several days. Heavy feeders are still in
good demand and steady prices were paid
for all that were offered if the quality
was satisfactory. Western range beef
steers were rather scarce and the few
that were offered sold at good, steady
prices.
Hogs—There was a light run of hogs,
but owing to the fact that Chicago and
other markets were quoted lower prices
at this point took a drop. Packers start
ed in bidding 5#7%c lower, and the first
hogs sold mostly at $6.72% and $6.75. After
the first round the feeling improved a
little and the market was not over 5c
lower, with the long string going at
$6.75. The choice loads sold from $6.75 to
$6.95 and the commoner grades went
from $6.72% down. At those prices the
hogs changed hands quite rapidly and it
was not long before the bulk was dis
posed of.
Sheep—The supply of sheep and lambs
in sight this morning was fairly liberal
for this time of the week. The demand,
however, was apparently equal to the oc
casion, as just about steady prices were
paid for anything at all desirable. Trad
ing was fairly active in both sheep and
lambs, and the bulk of the offerings was
disposed of in good season. Some of the
coarse and common stuff was neglected
by both packers and feeder buyers and
was hard to dispose of, but aside from
those the market was in good shape. The
demand for both feeder sheep and
lambs continues active and strong prices
are being paid for desirable grades.

CZOLGOSZ'S NERVE f AILS HIM
Collapses When Being Taken From the
Train to the Penitentiary.
AUBURN, N. Y., Sept. 28.—Czol
gosz, President McKinley's murderer,
in the custody of Sheriff Caldwell of
Erie county, and twenty-one deputies,
arrived in Auburn at 3:15 a. m. The
prison is only about fifty yards from
the depot. Awaiting the arrival of
the train there w'as a crowd of about
200 people. Either from fear of the
crowd, which was not very demon
strative, or from sight of the prison,
Szolgosz’s legs gave out and two dep
uty sheriffs were compelled to prac
tically carry the man into the prison.
Inside the gate his condition became
worse and he was dragged up the
stairs and into the main hall. He
was placed in a sitting posture on the
bench while the handcuffs were being
removed, but he fell over and moaned
and groaned, evincing the most ab
ject terror. As soon as the handcuffs
were unlocked the man was dragged
into the principal keeper's office. As
in the case of all prisoners, the offi
cers immediately proceeded to strip
him and put on a new suit of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz cried
and yelled, making the prison corri
dors echo with evidence of his ter
ror. The prison physician, Dr. John
tferlin, examined the man and order
ed his removal to the cell in the con
demned row. which he will occupy un
til he is taken to the electric chair.
The doctor declared that the man
was suffering from fright and terror',
but said that he was shamming to
some extent.
The collapse of the murderer was
a surprise to every one. En route
from Buffalo he showed no indication
of breaking down. He ate heartily
of sandwiches and smoked when not
eating. He talked some and express
ed regret for his crime. He said:
“I am especially sorry for Mrs. Mc
Kinley.” He reiterated his former
statement that he had no accomplices
and declared that he never had heard
of the man under arrest in St. Louis,
who claimed to have tied the hand
kerchief over his hand, concealing the
pistol with which the president was
shot. He says the handkerchief was
not died. He went to the Temple
of Music, arranged the handkerchief
so as to hide the weapon and then
took his place in the crowd.

Horse Meat Isn't the Tlilns;.
Scientific investigators in Europe,
after thorough tests of a horseflesh
diet, say that this sort of meat, when
the use of it is continued for a long
time, tends to lessen the weight of the
consumer, whether man or beast.
These physiological sages have come
to the conclusion that the choicest
steaks and roasts from the fattest
colts and fillies are inferior to beef
or veal, mutton, lamb or ham in sus
taining vital force and preventing a
decline in strength.

The King: Doesn't Kiss.
Many stories are related of the

and extended his hand to her. "I don’t

hand instead; 1 am your king.”

Tbe Invitation Misunderstood.
The widow of a prominent member
of a sporting club who recently died
is much incensed, it is said, over the
officiating priest's choice of words at
the funeral obsequies. The club mem
bers are heavy drinkers, and it is well
known that on their excursions in a
body their favorite drink is beer. By
invitation of the widow they were in
attendance at the funeral, and at the
close of the ceremony the reverend
father brought down upon himself the
wrath of the widow and marred the
solemnity of the occasion by request
ing that the members of the club
would now pass around the bier.”

This is a favorite expression with

they wish to sell to the public. But
their goods are not always good. Neith

to claim that they are "not in the
trust.” As a matter of fact they gen
erally are in the trust. Trusts know
tho advantage of advertising their
goods as "not in the trust." It helps
them to sell an inferior article that
they may pay dividends on watered

has no false stock on which to pay
