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

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-

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.

HIS LEGS ALMOST SEVERED
at
Generoa Gift to Purdue.
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.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 9. Superln
tendent Pearse has received notice
