CHARLESTON EXPOSITION South Carolina residents crowded the hotels and BtreeU of Charleston at the opening of the South Carolina inter state and West Indian exposition, Decemlwr 2d. There were present also thousands of visitors from both neigh boring and distant states. All Jour neyed to the exposition grounds where in the auditorium special exercises were held to celebrate the completion of the great undertaking. There wore romlnent men, an orig inal ode and music by a chorus o Toicea. At noon President Roosevelt pressed a button at Washington and thus officially opened the exposition. The exercises were participated in by 30,000 people. The instant President Roosevelt set the machinery of the ex position in motion a salute of forty six guns, one for each state of the Union, were fired by the German ar tillery, an undent military organiza tion of the city. The parade was reviewed on its ar rival at the exposition grounds at the grand stand on the race course by Gov ernor M. B. McSweeney of South Caro lina, Mayor J. Adger Smyth of Charles ton, the distinguished guests of the city will soon return to The Hague. True or false, this gossip haB caused the public in Holland to be openly hostile to the former Duke of Mecklenburg, whom Wilhelmina married not without some protest on the part of the legis lature of the Netherlands. UNITED AT DEATHBED. CAPT. F. W. WAGENER. President Exposition Company, and of the exposition company from other states. After the review the opening exer cises took place In the Auditorium. The cercmonnes were presided over by Captain F. W. Wagoner, president of the exposition company. He intro duced Rt Rev. Ellison Capers, bishop of South Carolina. After a prayer by Bishop Capers President Wagener made a short address declaring the ex position work completed, and intro duced Governor McSweeney, who de livered an address of welcome on be half of the state. Mayor Smith followed the governor and welcomed the people to the expo sition on behalf of the city. The mayor then Introduced Chauncey M. Depew of New York, the orator of the day. At the conclusion of Senator Depew's address a message was received from President Roosevelt at Washington and read to the audience. A reply was at once sent by the exposition authori ties and the instant that It was re ceived at the White House the Presl Mother Separated from Her Daughter for Twenty -Nine Years. jjgld- the rieathlipd nf Mrs. Jane Williams, who died at McKeesport, Pa lai:t week, her daughter, stolen from her twenty-nine years ago, was re stored to her. The relatives of the dy ing woman gathered in the room de scribe the meeting of the long sun dered ruoiher and child as affecting in the extreme. It was at first hoped that the Joy of receiving back her child would enable the aged woman to re cover, but her health was shattered and though she rallied at first she died holding the hand of the child, now a grown woman, who had been stolen from her so many years before. Mrs. Williams for many years resid ed in Chicago, in the days when the Illinois metropolis was not a large city, many of her relations being residents of that state. While in Chicago she married Mr. Williams, who, however, died In 1SG9, leaving her with two chil dren, of whom the youngest, Mary, waB about 2 years old at the time of his death. The older children had reached the pchool-tlme stage, but the baby of the family was thought by relatives not to be strong, and they feared that the mother would not have the time to give It due attention. Relatives desired to adopt the child shortly after the death of the father, but Mrs. Williams objected, saying that, she did not wish to see tbe home broken up and that she would not let her little daughter go away from home under any consideration. Several times efforts were taken to Induce ber to give up the child to those who were richer, and, It is claimed, more able to look after the child's welfare, but to no avail. Then when little Mary was about 5 yrars old, while playing with some lit tle glrla in the street not far from her home, a woman accosted the group of children and asked them whether they would not like to have some candy. The children, naturally enough, assent ed and the stranger led the girls to the nearest candy store, where she gave them a treat all round. Then Mary got into a vehicle standing near, together with the stranger, and abso lutely disappeared. The police were notified of the dis appearance of the child and for many months a close investigation was car ried on, but without result, and when the months lengthened Into years and there was still no sign of the child most of the friends of Mrs. Williams uelteved that the child was dead. Not so the mourning mother. Never a year passed that she did not make some ef fort to find out where her child had been taken, but until recently use lessly. About twenty years ago she went to gourd giveth small nourishment, but it goetb easily into the bottom of the stomack by reason of hys slyp- peryness." Apples, on the contrary. are colde, and go slowlie downe." while of pears we are told that "if sodden with todestolles they will not hurt them that eat them." But the doctor adds a caution to the effect that 'if a man fill himself wyth peares, oftymes they--i)reed the collck" the truth of which many a modern schoolboy will be able to confirm from eTtperrem-ft Ga4i-4KldiLXbAL-aJlfruit to be wholesome should be eaten be fore Instead of after other food. Of peaches he particularly says: "They ought not to be eaten after meat as some used to do. And thys rule must be holden in all those meates that are of evcll Juice, and are moyst and slyp pery, that they be taken before all other meates." ON THE SMALLPOX SITUATION lltto Board of Health Ulret Considera tion to tbe game. LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 9. The sec retaries of the state board of health were in session at the state house. Certificates to practice medicine in the state were issued to five physicians and one osteopath. Dr. Brasch of Beatrice, secretary of the board, stated that the rules sent out to county boards some time since, relative to quarantining and the or ganizing of local boards of health, were meeting with many responses. A number of the boards have replied stating that they have complied with the requests, while others have prom- this BANK BILLS IN CAR WHEELS. Currency Marerated at the Treasury I I'aed by the Car Kullfler. It Is the commonly accepted beliel tijat the old currency redeemed at th treasury department is absolutely de stroyed. Such, however, is not th case. A single wheel of a locomotlv represents many millions of what wai once good paper currency. From bank ncte to a car wheel is quite 8 radical transformation, but it happeni every day, and to become a supporting atom in the revolving mass Is the ul timate fate of every soiled $1, $10 oi $1,000 bill. Between $:,0,000,000 and $500,000,000 worth of paper money is cancelled ev ery year in the treasury department in Washington, and after being macerated is converted into filling for railroad car wheels and the government gets $4C a ton for it from the manufacturers. The destruction of soiled paper cur rency goes on daily and is in charge of three treasury employes, who repre sent respectively the secretary of the treasury, the treasurer of the United States and the comptroller of the cur rency. Bundles of the canceled notes are dumped Into the big macerators and crushed into a puttylike mass. The pulp Is then treated with an aikan, which extracts the ink; the stuff is dried, shipped In bales and forwarded to the car wheel manufacturers. For every note so destroyed, unless i( has come from a national bank In liqui dation, a new one of the same denom ination is printed at the bureau ol printing and engraving. All this work costs the government nothing. The national banks pay the expenses, al though the treasury department h. full control of the redemption division. ised to do so at their next mee many of which will be held week. The small pox situation in the state was considered and it was brought out that the number of cases has not materially Increased since the last meeting. A bulk of the cases at the present time are in the northeastern and northwestern portion of the state. INVOLVES IRRIGATION I AW Caie of Crawford Connly of Far-Keach-Ing Importance to NehraHka. LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 9. The case of the Crawford company against Hathaway, which is of far-reaching Importance to the irrigation interests 6f Nebraska, has been assigned for rehearing at the next sitting of the supreme court. The action originated in a dispute over a small irrigation claim In Dawes county, but it has grown to such proportions that it now involves the constitutionality of the entire irrigation law of the state. It has been before the supreme court in various ways for "nearly two years and in all opinions given the court has held strictly to the law of ri parian rights, and contrary to the Ne braska law.

Mrs. Eliza Fowler of Lafayette, Ind., who recently gave Purdue University $60,000, is the wealthiest woman in Tippecanoe County, and is the mother of James M. Fowler, President of the National Fowler Hank of Lafayette. Mrs. Fowler is 85 years old, but de spite her age continues to personally look after her business affairs. She has long taken an interest in educa- dent pressed the button that set In mo tion the apparatus In machinery hall. Captain Wagener then officially de clared the exposition opened. While the work on the exposition it self Is not entirely completed, the au thorities have fulfilled their promise to have all the main and many of the minor buildings finished. The cotton palace, tha palace of commerce, the ad ministration, agricultural, machinery, mineral and forestry, art and woman' buildings and a number of others are complete, with the exception of plac ing some of the smaller exhibits. The grounds have been put in admir able condition and present a most ex quisite appearance, with acres of trop ical plants and flowers In full bloom. Prinre Henry U tnpopular. Prince Henry, consort-royal of the young Queen of Holland, whom cables from that country report as being ex ecrated by the entire dominion as the cause of the present Illness of his beautiful girl wife, Is a member of the ducal house of Mecklenburg. The story generally circulated Is to the ef fect that Queen Wilhelmina and the prince had discovered that their mar riage was an utter failure; that their temperament were Incompatible and that a long-threatened quarrel occurred Just before the queen was taken 111. These stories have been afloat In The Hague for some days and are now re peated on all hands. Dowager Queen Krntna, Wilholmlna's mother. Is said to havo been keenly distressed over the alleged quarrel, but refuses to discuss the matter. Tho young queen Is ssld to be ronstantly Improving In health, and It Ih now believed that tho court McKeesport and made her home with her son. Last summer she was strick en with Illness necessarily fatal In its character and about two months ago it became apparent that death was not far off. With the approach of death tho longing of the mother for her child grew more Intense and five weeks ago the relative who had taken the child wrote, saying that the little girl had grown to womanhood and married. This fact was made known to Mrs. Williams and Immediately arrange ments were made for the daughter to Join her. The daughter, now Mrs. Annie Mad den of Liverpool, England, was sent for and arrived a week ago. The dy ing mother recognized her child In spite of the years that had passed since their cruel parting and died holding her hand. The Artlrhoke. Artichokes were not held In estima tion by the ancients. "Galen sayeth that tbe archychock hath a naughty Juice and giveth evell nourishment to the body" but this opinion Is less surprising when we learn that it was the root of our crown artichoke, which they used to eat "bothe rawe and sod den." We are reminded of the sav ages spoken of by Mark Twain as having an equally poor opinion of or anges. 'Baked they were togh, and even boiled they weren't things for a man to hanker after." Cucumbers also "Ingendre In tho body a naughty juice; howbelt ye shall flnde sum that can digest them by the reason of a ccrtayrio famlllarltlo that Is betwenn their natures," says a writer In the Nineteenth Century Magazine. "The tional matters, and, believing that she could use some of her wealth to no better advantage than In erecting an assembly hall and chapel at Purdue, phe presented the treasurer of the board of trustees with a check for the amount necessary. Mrs. Fowler was born at Hamilton, O., and removed with her parents to Lafayette seventy two years ago.' She was one of seven daughters, and two of her sisters, Mrs. Jamlma Winshlp and Mrs. Adams Earle. are still lifting, both residing near Lafayette. Dltrrilii Accident to Tonne Han Fairuury. FAIRBURY, Neb., Dec. 9. A shock ing accident occurred a short dis tance northwest of this city. John Calloway, a young man who had pre viously lost an arm, was helping C. C. Calloway clear a piece of timber land. The young man used a light ax, which he could wield with one hand, and he was chopping on one side of a tree while his uncle chopped from the, other. When the tree was almost felled an unusual stroke by the latter sent the ax clear through the remaining portion of the tree and into young Calloway's right leg just below the knee, completely severing the bone and injuring that member so that it is believed it will have to be amputated. Official Flag Day. OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 9.

While not having been officially recognized by the state, the schools of Omaha have observed Flag day for five years.
