duo him and get him Into a cell. A few mo

Nurroiv Knetiiii * of 11 Huliy.
Mr. and Mrs. E. Asplnwall were moving
yesterday into their ; iew home at 126 Benton
street. Among the household treasures were
a baby boy 18 months old and a box of medi
cines. The medicines were carefully packol
auay In a cigar box and the lid tacked
down. The box .was left on the bureau while
the furniture was being set In Its place , and
In course of time the boy discovered It
With the ald of a pair of sclsore he pried
off the cover and began to investigate the
contents of the first bottle his fingers touched.
This happened to contain carbolic add , Nu
one was In the room at the time , and It went
into that universal receptacle of a baby foi
everything , his mouth. The little fellow was
standing upon a swinging rocking chair at
the time and some of the burning acid
touched his lips before he had an opportunity
of drinking It. This caused him ' , o drop
the bottle and begin a lament that Instantly
brought the mother. She lost no time In
getting a physician. An examination ohuwed
that a small quantity of the deadly acid had
csrno In contact with the little fcllo-v's
tongue , but not sufficient to develop any
toxic symptoms. It was a very narrow es
cape for thu little- fellow , and when ho real
ized It ho seemed to bo very proud of It' ,

During the- hottest part of the afternoon
yesterday an alarm of flro came In from
the Milwaukee railway yards. The depart

It. Flro had broken out In the dry gr
growing near some of the tracks , and seemed
to bo of spontaneous origin. The ( hpJ
ment drenched the vicinity thoroughly.
The terrific heat of the sun was shown
by Its effect upon the tails on a number of
the sidetracks that were favorably locuxeJ
to receive Its full effect , The expansion of
the rolls was sufficient to lift the ties from
their bedding and throw tut- track a foot out
of line. The tracks were lying below the
general grade and adjoining banks and bullJ.

> oiuliiiitloii of I , . II. Hotter for Senator
May Cuiifiv n Holt.
ONAWlA , la.f July 31. ( Special. ) The
populists of Monona county arc dissatisfied
with the result of the fusion senatorial con
vention held at Missouri Valley yesterday.
Dr. H. A. Evans of Monona county , the
populist candidate , went Into the convention
with a strong following , and his friends say
that Monona ' county's delegation , consisting
of twen'ty-slx delegates , was arbitrarily cut
down to fourteen votes , In direct opposition to
justice and precedent , and was done for tfic
solo purpose of giving L. II. Bolter an abso
lute cinch on the nomination , The methods
employed , while In keeping with the work
ings of practical polities , savored entirely
too much of machine work to please the
populists. Mr. Bolter la now nominated , but
In order for him to be elected the poiyi'lsts '
of the district will have to vote the demo
cratic ticket at the polls. Mr. Bolter Is n
smooth politician and no doubt will do all
In his power to placate the populists , know
ing full well that In order to be elected
ho must have the support of the populists
at the polls. Indications at present are that
Mr. Bolter will not receive a very cordial
support from the populists and especially In
Monona county. The rank and file of the
populist party of the district bcllevo that In
view of the unjust division of the offices on
the state ticket , the democrats of the Thirty-

"I have conferred with a number of my

question whether I wanted to give up a place
in congress at the opening of a new term.
I have friends who have worked hard an.1
carried mo thr6ugh a fight for the congres

whether It would be fair to withdraw from
the position In view of my obligations to
them. I decided not to do so. Some news
papers have printed a story that I was being
forced out of tlic contest by Mr. Cummins on
account of hisj'senatorial aspirations. This
U not true. He assured mo that he would

Surf SivliiiiuliiK for Women.
If a woman Is ambitious to swim In the
surf , she would better bo satisfied to attain
that end gradually , saja Harpers Bazar.
( This , by the way , is taking for granted that
she is already agood , still water swimmer ,
for a rough sea U not the placeIn which to
learn coinenlcntly the first principles of the
exercise. ) It 1 better , then , for the first
two or three days rcerely to accustom one's
self to enduring the merciless pounding of
the waves ; to rrako llttlo swimming trials
when there Is a brief lull in the surf , and
to learn to face the breakers fearlessly and
plunge Into them hcad-finst as they approach.
For this Is what- must bo done when one
btarts to swim out toward the buoy-line.
The only way to maango It Is to etond in
the water a little' Way out , facing the open
pea. Watch thq approaching "comber" and
dive Into it resolutely just as the foam be
gins to curl alqoKvitB ftdge , indicating that it
Is about to brcac | , Once through this wave
you will barely Jiave time to shake the water
out of your eyes and take breath before a
second ono la upon you , This must bo met
la the same wayR and perhaps a third one.
Two or three dfb usually all you will have
to stand , becaiife , by the time three have
broken over j-cntt head your strokes will
have carried you. beyond the point where the
waved break. After that you will rise on the
iiwell and ride the waves llko a feather ; but
It Is necessary 'remember to swim with
the head and.jUojilders as high as pos
sible , to avold ti UawIng water when the
create of the incoming waves meet you.
Tills is contrary , 19 the best principles of
still water swimming , and thco who have
been accustomed , * ( o swimming low , with
just the nostrils 'above the water , will per
haps find It easier , because one Is boruo
along by tbo rush of the eea ; but when well
Inshore one is likely to bo submerged once
or twice by a breaking "comber , "

City Engineer Beal has received from C.
0. Kcmper , acting supervising architect of
the Treasury department , a request for
some Information In regard to the site of the
proposed federal building. The architect
desires to know the established or desired
levels from the top of the curb stone at
Twenty-fourth and M streets , on M street
at the corner of the alley and on Twenty-
fourth street at the northeast corner of the
property. The question Is alro naked as
to whether the established grades between
Kiich points are continuous. Further , the
officials desire to know It It will bo necessary
to erect a wooden fence along the north line
of the property from Twenty-fourth street
back to the alley. Inquiry Is made as to the
location of gas mains and what Is the esti
mated rate of fall per toot for sidewalks
from the building line to the curb.
Accompanying this letter Is a ground plan
of the building and a plat of the surround
ing grounds. The postoffico building Is
ninety feet in length , fronting on Twenty-
fourth street , and is sixty-nine feet In width.
The front wall of the structure will be
thlrty-thtco fcot from the curbstone rn
Twenty-fourth street , and from the west edge
of the sidewalk to the front door will be
thirteen feet. Large steps will extend from
the walk to the door. A lawn 40xlGO feet
will extend around the building on the north
and west , except where It Is broken on the
west by a driveway. A ten-foot driveway from
the alley on the west will lead to the mall-
Ing platform In the rear of the building.
This driveway widens ns It ncars the plat
form , making qiilto a. space for teams to
turn around In. Another driveway will como
In from M street to the rear of the building ,
coiii'Mtlng with the one from the west. Ac
cording to the plans sent a wooden fence will
bo built along the north line of the property.

might bo mentioned that the department has
given notice that It will be ready to adver
tise for bids on October 1. In the cape of

Including heating , etc. , Instead of each
branch of the work separately , as Is the
custom.

HIMV Woman Should
Aa a matter of fact , B.IJR n medical writer ,
not one woman In a hundred breathes nor
mally. The respiration of the average woman
varies with every change of menial state or
physical condition , nnd It Is a r.iro thing
for a woman to use her lungs to the beat
possible advantage without n previous
knowledge of physiology nnd an apprecia
tion of the merits of physical culture. De
sirable as Is n thorough e.xerclse In breath
ing , It Is not B.ifu to experiment In the
matter. A very llttlo Instruction on the sub
ject will enable any woman to comprehend
the precise art of filling and emptying the
lungs on scientific principles. After this hns
been acquired the chief thing Is to breathe
In oa much sunshine as possible nnd to bc
llevo In the cfllcacy of oxygen afi n remedy
for nearly all the Ills that arc fashionable.
The following are some excellent lilies for
Improving the respiration and bringing It up
to a normal condition : Stand at an open
window or recline on a couch , with the
waist and chest unconflncd ; hold the che.it
walls high and Inhale In slow , long breaths ,
cxhalo as slowly , three tlmrs only at first.
Gradually the number of times may bo In
creased and the time lengthened for the
breathing exercises. Fifteen minutes , twice
a day nt least , should be devoted to this
exercise to accomplish the desired result ,

three hundred grains would ripen Into enough
to plant a fiftieth of an acre. The next ycai
a twentieth of an aero would bo planted ,
yielding two bushels of good seed wheat.
Those two bushels would be fliilllclent to seed
two acres of ground. Allowing that they
would yield but fifteen bushel.i of good ker
nels thttt year , at the sprlngtlmo of the fifth
year there would be enough grain to pro
duce a harvest of 4BO bushels. The next > ear
the increase would bo tlftpcnfold. and from
that point on the ratio Is one of enormous
progression , reaching nearly 80,000,000 000
j ' luit'hels at the end of the sixteenth year.
' These figures are not , of course , to be dem
onstrated in any actual experimentation , but

In addition to all the tests for larger yields
a careful record Is kept of the flour-produclni ;
qualities of the wheat. All the nutrition *
constituent parts of a first-class wheat arc of

ured up alongside of this standard , In order

The possibilities of such a decade of In

one. While the work of creating new kinds
of this staple product of the world lu at
