Fiance of Miss Roosevelt Can't Re member Any Dates. Congressman Longworth , though be sieged with interviewers since the an nouncement of his engagement to Miss Roosevelt , keeps good humored. Ho says that he didn't know he was offi cially engaged until he saw it in the papers. Asked if the betrothal oc curred on the Pacific trip , he says he can't remember that ho has been in a trance so long that ho has forgotten dates. Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth met In Washington a little moro than two years ago , when Longworth first came to congress , and since that time they have been constantly thrown to gether through the medium of their social duties. They were two of a quartet of young people who practically led the younger social set In all its entertainments , formal - mal and otherwise. Countess Mar guerite Casslnl , niece of the former Russian ambassador , Count Cassinl , and the Viscount de Chamhrun , secre tary of the French embassy , formed the other members of this little party. There were dinners at the Russian embassy and then at the white house. Mrs. Longworth , mother of the repre sentative , was frequently the chaperone - orone In many of these little parties , and her homo soon became the center for the ultra fashionable younger set at the capital. Miss Roosevelt made her social de but in the winter of 1901 at a brilliant ball given In the white house by the president and Mrs. Roosevelt. Her rI rolgn In society has been supreme , but U has always been a much-discussed and surprising fact that her coming- out ball was the only affair which has been given In her honor by the presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt since they came to the whlto house. There have been numerous luncheon and dinner parties , but the guests have always been equally divided among tlio friends of the president and Mrs. Roosevelt and those of Miss Alice. Society has never ceased to feel disappointed that season after season went by without at least ono ball for young people at the whlto house. Miss Roosevelt will bo the first pros Ident's daughter to bo married In the executive mansion since Nelllo Grant and the first brldo since Frances Folsom - som came to Washington to become Mrs. Grover Cleveland. Femlnlno Interest attaches to Miss Roosevelt's wedding gown , which It Is said was ono of the mysterious boxes which came from Japan and the Phil ippines. Among the gorgeous silks and. crepes which wore showered on Miss Roosevelt in the east , there Is ono particular package which will probably bo tthown for the first tlmo to the public eye as ( ho wedding gown. RooHovolt nttentlH St. John's church , and It IH presumed that the ceremony will bo performed by the rector of that church. Longworth Is somewhat of an ath lete. Ho lined to ho n champion golfer In the Cincinnati district. Ho linn also had hlH fun. Once , on a wager , ho drove a golf ball from the front door of the St. Nicholas hotel to Covlngton In a certain number of strokes , through the city streets. Ho won bin hot , but liitd to pay for several broken win dows. On this exhibition of hit * prow ess ho was followed through the streets l > y n largo crowd. Longworth Is generally spoken of liy these who know him IIH a "good follow. " Ho Is polKo , amlablo , recon ciled to his own limitations , which load him In the direction of society rather than HtntosmiuiHhlp. Ho has lone nothing In the house that attract- > < 1 attention , but ban always voted right. Ho Is a favorite of Speaker Can non's and has places on the committee > f foreign affairs and pensions. CHICAGO MAN TEMPTS DEATH IN DANGEROUS SAIL. HAD MANY NARROW ESCAPES With His Fingers Numbed by the Cold Until He Lost Control of the Ship , He Held It With His Feet Gnawed the Ropes to Save Himself. Chicago , Doc. 1C. Horace D. Wild , : i2 , tempted death in a perilous ( light ever the city In his airship Into in the afternoon. Several times ho thought his end had conic. His hands became numb with cold and lie lost control of the ship , retaining it with his foot. Again tlio gasolene became exhausted and ho lost power to propel earthward , finally succeeding by gnawing the hope that tied tlio gas in. Ho was stunned by the outward rush of gas and the ship descended. It lit on a chimney then fell to within a dozen foot'of an oncoming express train. Ho recovered in time to steer himself clear. He is married and has two children , lie says ho will go again when the bag is refilled. WINNERS AT CHICAGO STOCK SHOW lovva Exhibitors Csrry Ofl Prize * In Catt.e ana Hoys.

Port Dodge la. , Dec. 19 Harry Mcriele , a miner at the Holiday creek mines , will probably lose both eyes by a premature explosion of blast pow der which was being tamped. The shot came without warning and is thought to have been due to friction caused by the working of a drill near the powder The Farmer and the Trusts. In these days of almost universal combination of business interests we note just two lines yet letf out in the cold the farm and the church. Each of these is jogging along at the same old gait , going it alone in the old com petitive way while meeting the power of combined interests at every point. The farmer today is rocked to sleep as a baby In a cradle made by a trust , ho like enough Is raised on a bottle made by a trust , he goes to work later on in a trust-made wamus , overalls , , shoes and hat , he plows with a trust plow , seeds his fields with a trust seeder , drags them with a trust drag , cultivates his corn with a trust culti vator , harvests his crop with a trust harvester , threshes It with a trust thresher , hauls his load weighed on a trust scales and sells to a representa tive of the grain dealers' trust ; ho loads up In town with a load of trust lumber or coal , buys some trust sugar and beef and tobacco and goes homo to sleep In a trust bed. When ho dies he Is hurled In a trust coffin after be ing treated by a trust doctor and laid out by a trust undertaker , about the only thing In his whole career not con trolled by a trust being the funeral sermon by a denominational parson , who alone with the deceased still fights his way through life free of any reli gious trust. This state of affairs should operate to turn the granger's thoughts toward religion when ho finds that the trusts are too many for him. Iowa State Register. Seed Corn and Cookery.

NOT A CIVILIZED THEORY. Ohio Solon Will Try to Discontinue Capital Punishment. Influenced by the Rogers execution , a hill to discontinue capital punish ment In Ohio will bo Introduced In the legislature by Representative J. G. Sawicky. Ho said that the theory of "an eye for an eye" was obsolete and a relic of barbarism. "Tho taking of a life by a stnto la cold-flooded murder , " ho said , "and sometimes worse than murder , for murder Is often committed In a pas slon when the assailant does not rec ognize the enormity of his action. The population in the state of Ohio ought to take the lead In setting a good ex- iniplo In this matter. A llfo sentence In the penitentiary Is severe enough penalty for any crime.

The now Bcrlbo Hlriiek n real estate ilon anil of course the sellers of Moth er Earth at once were In their glory and offered all kinds of real estate In Montana. Alaska. Canada. Mexico. In fact jiiHt what would have boon ex pected of "Elijah Dowlo , " but not one word was said about Norfolk lots with handsome walks , trees and surround ings. ings.The The displayed bulletins told all about cheap rates to Texas and other places Phil Sheridan spoke of. but there were no town plats of beautiful Norfolk. It puts the scribe to think ing and that was an unusual job , for usually somebody tolls the newspaper people everything and rnivo a. whole lot of worry. Hut In this Instance the Idea oc curred , why don't the real ostnto men co-operate and push Norfolk real cs- Into ? Issue n joint illustrated folder or booklet with views of some of the beautiful houses , explaining the ad vantages of the town as a residence point , as a manufacturing and distrib uting place. There are plain every day facts enough for any man or firm socking a Northwest location to In vestigate the merits of the city. One man or firm can't do It. It requires the co-operation of all. Let the real estate men take tlio initiative , not a cheap hand bill affair , but the finest the printer can produce , and then they will not have to devote nil their tirno to pushing some other man's town and country while their own is without honor. This Is a tip for the fellow who Is playing his harp on the dull times string about the real estate mar ket in Norfolk. STORE IS ROBBED AT WISNER.
