It.appears that a short time ago it-slipped on the roadway and Tell jnto a bin or pit that was just along­ side. The animal suffered no apparent injury, but could not be Induced to make any effort with a view to escap­ ing from its narrow prison. At last it *was determined that mechanical means of rescue must be brought into play, so a derrick was sent for, and with some difficulty set up oyer the hole, slinging gear being provided to hoist the vic­ tim. Just as all was roady ttuu opera­ tions were about to begin, the dinner bell rang. Dobbin pricked up his ears, gave himself a shake, put his fore feet on the edge-of the bin. and was out of It in the twinkling of an eye. Then he -shambled off quietly to his -stable In time for his midday feed. Feel the Influence.

Don't Bay Umbrellas. "It is not necessary to buy a new um­ brella," said the observant man. "You may acquire them easier by what is called the right of conquest or protocol In the first place you find a man who has an umbrella, that doesn't belong to him. That is easy. Then you take it. .Equally easy. You see this one? Well I was caught out in the rain after lunch and wondering what I could do, when noticed a chap under"an awning trying to open an umbrella. It was clear he didn't understand the fastening, and as the umbrella itself was not new, the circumstantial evidence against him was conclusive. "So I walked up and said firmly 'That's my umbrella, sir.' At the same time I took it out of his hand. He stammered something about a mistake and crept off, while I walked away proudly, sheltered from a very bad shower. That's what nerve will do, Wonder, by the way, whose It really Is?"

SWANSON NHKUMATIO CURS CO., 167 DMrlMm St^ChKmso, III. NEW BISHOP OF IOWA. Sst, Dr. Morrison Steps to tlie of the Diocese. ! Rev. Dr. Theodore N. Morrison of the Church of the Epiphany, Chicago, was elected bishop of the diocese of Iowa on the second ballot at the diocesan conven­ tion in session at Ce­ dar Rapids. Dr. Green was nominated by George A. Goodwell of Cedar Rapids, the nomination being sec­ onded by the Rev. Dr. Morrill of Clinton, who demanded that if any one had charges to make against Dr. Green they should be made- in open conven­ tion. "George P. Henry of Des Moines oppos- •ed the election of Dr. Green by charges, "the evidence in support of which was in the form of a long typewritten manuscript which Mr. Henry admitted to be the re­ port of the detective who had been hired to investigate the life of Dr. Green. It was a mass of alleged evidence gathered at Shawneetown, III., at Chicago and at Cedar Rapids. After the reading of the so-called testi­ mony Mr. Henry concluded his argument against the election of Dr. Green by de­ claring that this evidence' had not been :presented as facts which had actually hap­ pened, but as tending to show that there were many rumors of misconduct on the part of Dr. Greenland that he was there- tore not a fit man to elect to the sacred office. He urged the convention to elect some man whose whole life had been above the taint of suspicion. In answer to the report read before*the convention by George F. Henry Dr. Green arose and address­ ed the convention as follows: "Stand­ ing here in the presence of this al­ tar of Almighty God, standing here before you, friend or foe.^as you may be, I simply make the one denial that an innocent man dare make, invok­ ing on himself the judgment of the ad­ vent'God.

The Mcllraths started on their long journey from Chicago Oct. 10, 1895, and wheeled their way to San Francisco in 55 days. t They took a steamer for Japan, where they spent four months wheeling, and then crossed to China, where their real trials began.

While crossing the Kuhrud Pass in Persia Mrs. Mcllrath had her great toes frozen, and her husband was obliged to amputate a jHirtion of the one on the left foot. The Mcllraths say that they have traveled 28,000 miles on land alone, and the expense of their trip was nearly $12,000. Mr. and Mrs. Mcllrath are both mem­ bers of the Century Road Club of Amer­ ica. The thousand miles between New York and Chicago were covered by the Mcllraths awheel. They were accompan­ ied "throughout this distance by members of the Century Road Club, who escorted them in relays. Receptions were given them at the principal cities en route. WHEAT NOT FIT FOR MARKET. 8bo» and Rain Cause Loss to North Dakota Farmers. Thousands of acres of wheat in shock was caught by the recent snow­ storm rn North Xakota, and will be of no use except for feed. James H. Wil­ son made thfs statement in St. Paul.

It was not stacked, and the rain came and prevented thrashing for several weeks, and was followed by snow, which prevents its being thrashed at all.

J?ew Volunteer Keitiments Likely -to Be Sent to Cuba. 'If 'Congress early in the session should make provision for the increase of the reg­ ular army it is quite probable that none of the volunteer regiments now in* the ser­ vice will be sent to do garrisoiS duty in Cuba. The troops -first to be sent to Cuba will be composed largely of regular regi­ ments, solar as they are axailabie'. Plans are maturing for the muster out of as many vohsnte«rs now in service as is pos­ sible. The demand of the enlisted men to go home and leave the service is growing greater and greater every day. It is weil known that the volunteers at Manila de­ sire to come home, and the War Depart­ ment is considering the question of send­ ing regular regiments to replace those vol­ unteers as soon as arrangements can be made. The regulars who are available for this service comprise those regiments on the western coasts which saw service at Santiago. CUBANS USE AMERICAN FLAG. The I**nrKents Maintain Order Until United States Troops Arrive. The Cuban insurgents who took posses­ sion of the city of Pinar del Rio upon its evacuation by the Spanish troops under Gen. Yelasco on Monday carried the American flag alongside the Cuban ban­ ner as they entered the town. The inhab­ itants made a great demonstration in their honor. The insurgent commander declares that he took possession of the city to maintain order until the arrival of Ameri­ can troops. GAVE AWAY S50 BILLS. Insane Man Makes-Free Distribution of Money. An old man with Santa Claus whiskers appeared in Battery Park, New York, and began distributing $20 and $50 bi»s to laborers and park hoboes. He was soon lost to view in a mass of men fighting for claims on the human Klondike. A police­ man stopped the free money party and arrested the philanthropist. At the sta­ tion house he refused to talk or give his name, but checks were found on him drawn in favor of Daniel Feutz by an Oregon (Mo.) bank. The man bad over fl,600 in bills on his person. 8ays Spanish People Will Ratify Any Treaty Offered Them. The New York Herald prints an inter­ view between its Havnaa correspondent and Gen. Blanco just before the latter sailed for Spain. Gen. Blanco said the Spanish people would accept any treaty entered into with the United States and would abide by all agreements. After denouncing the United States for causing "an unholy war," Gen. Bianco said he could see many benefits that Spain might derive from defeat. He said that the people of Cuba and the Philippines were Spanish in sentiment, and soon all bitter feeling would wear away. Commer­ cial relations would be revived and Spain would find in her old colonies a greater market than ever before. "Spain's pros­ perity may dawn to-morrow," said Gen. Blanco. "I believe it will." Gen. Blanco said the United States had taken the Philippines; but he thought the American people were not really in favor of it. PHILIPPINOS ARE UGLY. Insurgents Decide Not to Recognise Cession of Island*. Madrid has advices from the Philippine Islands saying the insurgents there have decided not to recognize the cession of the islands to the United States, and that they will resist to the last. It is also claimed that the United States will re­ quire 70,000 troops to put down the re­ bellion, and that the insurgents hold 10,- 000 Spanish prisoners whom they wiil force to serve against the Americans. A delegation from the Spanish chambers of commerce had an audience with the Queen Regent and presented to her ma­ jesty a petition in favor of reforms. The delegation also asked tbe Queen Regent to intercede for the release of the Spanish prisoners in the Philippine Islands and to pardou the Filipinos who have been trans­ ported to Spain.

The dingy colors of their clothing, the absurd knapsack, the un­ shapely cartridge box, the ugly head­ gear, the trousers turned up. all com­ bine to,make a spectacle of him not to be fouud elsewhere in Europe. And the clumsiness of it all is the first thing to strike even the most unobservant spectator. Writers for the French press have long since pointed out these facts and have shown how such infliction in the way of outfit is sufficient alone to use up the strength of the strongest man and crush down the energy of the stout­ est heart. The headgear of a French infantryman is something on the order of an old-fashioned helmet worn by English firemen. This instrument of torture peculiar to the French army exposes the wearer to sunstroke during the summer and is entirely insufficient for protection in the winter months. It also acts as a gutter spout when it rains and lets the water pour down the soldier's back. The French infantryman is about as bad ofif In other respects. His shoes al­ low both the dust and moisture to pene­ trate to the skin and his knapsack be­ comes a veritable instrument of tor­ ture. The French writers point out that fatigue and exposure to such trials are much more dangerous than the bul­ lets of the «nemy. They add that a battle is tbe exception, while troops are always 6n tbe move, and that the gen­ eral, who, through the proper equip­ ment of his troops can put them on the field of battle in a better physical con­ dition than the enemy, already has the battle half won, the other conditions being equal.--Pittsburg Dispatch.

Olmsted, Le Roy, N. Y. Rats in the Azores. resident of Faynl, says the Revue Scientlfique, complains of the abund­ ance of rats and rabbits. The rats multiply fast, and make all sorts of depredations, not only within houses, but In the fields and gardens. Thej* at­ tack a great number of edible fruits, such as bandnas, oranges and grapes; they infest granaries, bouses and fields. Among other depredations, the rabbits have attacked a field of tea plants, and of four thousand vigorous shoots that were set out by the proprietor, they have destroyed 3,988 completely, leav­ ing him twelve by way of consolation. The farmers are beginning to ask what they shall do. Shall they import the mongoose? The example of Jamaica makes them hesitate. And still another example in the Azores is of a kind to render them cautious in matters of ac­ climation. The pigs there have been allowed to run wild and live in a state of freedom; the result is that imported partridges have almost entirely disap­ peared, the young having been eaten by the swine. It is thus difficult to tell what to do, and meanwhile fats and rabbits are abandoning themselves to all sorts of excesses. THEY WANT TO TELL These Grateful Women Who Have Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham. Women who have suffered severely and Been relieved of their ills by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine are constantly urging publication of their statements for the benefit of other wo­ men. Here are two such letters: Mrs. Lizzie Bevebly, 258 Merrimac, St., Lowell, Mass., writes: " It affords me gTeat pleasure to tell all suffering women of the benefit I have received from taking Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound. Icanhard- ly find words to express my gratitude for what she has done for me. My trouble was ulceration of the womb. I was un­ der the doctor's care. Upon examina­ tion he found fifteen very large ulcers, but he failed to do me good. I took sev­ eral bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege­ table Compound, also used the Sanative Wash, and am cured. Mrs. Pinkham's medicine saved my life, and I would recommend it to all suffering women." Mrs. Amos Tbombleay, Ellenburgh Ctr., N. Y.. writes: " I took cold at the time my baby was born, causing me to have milk legs, and was sick in bed for eight weeks. Doctors did me no good. I surely thought I would die. I was al­ so troubled with falling of the womb. I could not eat, had faint spells as often as ten times a day. One day a lady came to see me and told me of the benefit she had derived from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine, and ad­ vised me to try it. I did so, and had taken only half a bottle before I was able to sit in a chair. After taking three bottles I could do my own work. I am now in perfect health." An Unsatisfactory Explanation.
