I SCORES THEM ' Republican Supreme Court Justice Expresses His Views. ROASTS HIS OWN PARTY Declares that the Conditions in NewYork are Scandalous, and that the Democrats Are to lie Patterned After and Calls Gaynor a Ileal Reformer. Recent attempts to organize the Republican party in New York State were humbuggery; the Allds-Conger investigation at Albany is an expensive and almost useless undertaking for which "50 cents worth of whitewash" would be a suitable substitute; and William J. Gaynor, mayor of New York, is a real reformer with a purpose. These views were expressed in a speech at Troy, N. Y., recently by W. 0. Howard, a State Supreme Court Justice, and a Republican, (Professional reformers, the justice denounced as "vapid, sapless, spineless, chinless, sexless beings, sprung from no race and owned by no race." | The justice was speaking at a St. Patrick's Day dinner of the Sons of St. Patrick of Troy, and after a tribute to the Irish he took up the {present political situation in this . State, growing out of the Allds-Cong. ger case. He said in part: "In my own party a queer condition exists and, in consequence, ev * ? ??? Tt'ith Q A i ery out; is sei^cu juoi %??. sire to clean house. Whether it is to be cleaned out I have not learn ed, but fifty tSbusand dollars is to r- be spent to clean house; 50 cents worth of whitewash would do as well. Of course a few dead bodies may be rattled by these investigations, or, perhaps a few live ones, ? fully protected by the statute of limitations. But suppose they are rattled?what follows? Even if ? somebody is punished, what of that? No reform is worked. "It is not more investigations that we need, it is more honesty; not more laws, but more common sense.

He is not a counterfeit reformer but a real one. He is cleaning house with the laws which he has;, they do not assist him much nor hinder him any? he would do it if he had no laws at all. He saws wood. He will clean up New York before he gets through with it and clean it up well at a saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers." He then declared that "in fact he is accompishlng more reform than all the self-confessed reformers put togethIer." Shifting to the recent attempt of1 Senator Elihu Root and others to re iorganize the Republican btate committee with the ousting of Timothy L. Woodruff, the State chairman, he "A general alarm having been occasioned by recent disclosures, everybody, a few weeks ago, was to get behind one virtuous leader and obey him in all things so that the party might be saved. Now a different plan has been adopted. "The Democrats are to be patterned after and the State committee must be overhauled. "The humbuggerv of it all appalls me. There seems to be no candor in it. no straightforward dealing: and II wonder that the people can be so easily fooled." * BOY FOl'GHT EAGLES Half Starved Giant Birds Sought Human Prey. -'Attacked by a pair of eagles while on his way home from school, Ira Cottingham, of near Kansas City, Mo., defeated the birds but he will carry the marks of their talons to his grave. The eagles are believed to have been driven to attack the I boy because of the long spell of frozen weather, in which their natuarl food disappeared. Sheep anil other small domestic animals have fallen a prey to the giant birds since the Christmas snows. The Cottingham boy, who is only ten years of ag"\ has nearly two miles to cover between his home and the schoolhouse. On the day of the attack he was walking on the public road when he was suddenly startled by a rushing sound, and the next .instant he was knocked to the ground by the force of something which struck him on the shoulders, at the same time hurting as though I o lrrilfo KnH Koan V* miff ?? + '?

He found himself being attacked ly two immense eagles, first by the ine and then tbe other, each on? ailing at him wi'h talons extended, nd with the swiftness of shot. He ried to arise, but was only partially uccessful, as the onslaught of the agles was terrific. Finally he seured a stifle of wood and beat the irds off. Then he scooted for home. in effort to find the birds proved ruitless. 4 I Will Lose Office. J. C. Stancil, postmaster of Smitheld, N*.

Insurance, Telephone, and Mercantile Companies Havu Headquarters at Upland.?AH Paying. Farmers in Dickinson county, Kan., are working out an interesting experiment in co-operation. They own three successful mutual companies, each paying a gnoil dividend and under competent management. That part of Kansas was settled 40 years ago by Germans, who are still the majority of population. Later came Swedes and then farmers from Indiana and Illinois. Upland is the headquarters of the telephone, insurance and mercantile companies. It boasts less than 100 noDulation. but the amount of bus iness transacted there is wonderful. Farmers attribute the success of their companies to the low cost of administration, no official receiving more than $2 a day and that only while he is actually employed on the company's business. The community idea took root during the Farmers Alliance days, back in 1S91. A meeting of farmers was called to take up the question and each farmer was constituted an agent without pay to solicit new members. It was decreed that anytime a fire occurred an assessment should be levied to make good the loss. Six years later it had 241 members, with $ ICS,000 insurance in force. Today it has 3,500 members, with insurance representing $4,000,000. When the company started in business it was decided that a day was enough to pay any officer, and that amount has never been raised. This is paid only when the officer works. The average yearly salary list is about $S00, due to the simple methods by which records are kept and the fact that everybody pays his assessment promptly under pain of being dropped at once. In 1885 the farmers decided to build a creamery. Later the advent of the farm seperator caused it to be closed up, as there was more money in selling the cream to the .central butter making stations. One day when a number of farmers wer^ waiting for their tickets from the creamery it was suggested that it would be just as easy to bring farm produce along with the milk every morning. Why not have a store? "Within a few days a co-operative organization with a capital of $25.000 was formed. Only a part of this was used at the beginning, but the store has been so profitable that the stock is quoted at $150 and the cash value of its resources is around $35,000. Once a year the stockholders meet in the town hall, ha.^r the reports, declare a good dividead ana elect officers, .no one is permitted to hold more than $100 worm of stock an 1 this entitles him to one vote. By the articles each stockholder binds himself to sell all of his grain nn?l produce lo .he Gollvi Rule company, which is its incorporated name. The business is don<; largely by credit. Farm producs brought in is credited to the man who furnishes it, and le :> debited w"'-h whatever he buys of t'oceries <r~ i dry gvods. Cash settlements are made,at the end of each month. The company owns a grain elevator, but this is at Alda on the line of the nearest railroad. A few years ago after a full discussion it was agreed that as there was no hope of the railroad coming: to Upland the company ought by buy Alda. It did, taking in the elevator, stockyards, everything except the town's name. The telephone company serves over 4,000 persons, most of them beins farmers. It is one- of the biggest concerns in the state. It is purely mutual. with no capital stock, and this serves to make certain the retention of the control in the hands of the farmers. Fifteen or twenty trunk lines radiate from the stone building in T'nlnnrl Thp nffiwro mnrfonH fVinf the success of the enterprise lies in the fact that no fixed rental is chargod, each owner of a telephone paying a proportionate expense of operation and maintanance. Each farmer must buy outright his 'phone. These, it is insisted, must be long distance instruments. They cost about $10 apiece. The cost of becoming- a stockholder, that is of making a connection, is $10. Thereafter he is a stockholder and all receipts from tolls are credited to him proportionately. The officer's of the company are paid only for the actual time they devote to the business. The first year's cost is about $:55. This includes instrument, connection and dues. After that the cost is about $ "> a year. * Burrs Three Months. sw. ricwuuurg, a. j., a lire which started three mouths ago in the 400ton pile of coal in the railroad yards is still burning, although the fuel is nearly exhausted. Contractors who have been awaiting the finish of the blaze before beginning the rebuilding of the plant, which was destroyed when the fire started, hope to start work on April 1. * Christian Science Healers Failed. Oliver U. Church, a leading business man of Springfield, Mass., died last week after a long and painful illness. He was attended by no physician as Christian Science healers declared he would get well. Gruesome Direction. Among the peculiar provisions the will of the late John Greene Ballance. who died in Miami, Fla., a month ago, was one giving his body to the Peoria Medical Society for qIbsection. * MIND WAS BLANK ONCE ALERT MAN LEARNING TO TALK AND WRITE. Injury Sustained AVIiile on a Railroad Rendered His Memory Blank. Father Had to be Introduced. Two months ago Otto Raschke was a keen, alert business man of Omaha, Neb. Today he is learning his alphabet, getting acquainted with his own wife and children and becoming accustomed to the world that it about him. His mind is like that of a child. The change came about as the result of a railroad accident in which Mr. Raschke suffe/ed ?>n injury to his head. Doctors declare his is the most complete case of aphasia they have ever observed. They predict that he will recover completely, but slowly or that some of these dayo he will Income his former self in an instant and will forget aii that has happened from the time of 'lis injury to the time of his recovery. Physically he is said to be in !he best condition. It was early in January that Raschke was returning from a business trip to Sious City. At Bancroft, Neb., he swung off the train for a breath of fresh air. As the train erarte.1 he stepped aboard. Before he g<U 1;is balance the train lurenoa ana j his head struck the brass r>d. He fell fro.)? the platform, was picked :ip in an unconscious condition and was taken to Omaha. When he recovered consciousness his mind was a complete blank. He heard the nures and physicians talking and tried to imitate them The ability to talk returned rapidly. One day his wife aDd two little bov* wnre admitted to the n.im. Not a sign of recognition diJ ht show. "Don't you know us, Otto?" asked Mrs. Rasohke, with tears in her eyes. "I never saw you before," answered Otto. He was told that this was his wife, and that the children were his fi.nmr " ha onirl "The OWH, mat o J. 14mij, ??v/ ?v.. idea of me having a wife and children." After three weeks in the hospital, during which he learned to walk a little, Raschke was taken to his home, which he did not recognize when he entered. With a child's inability to judge distance, Raschke was at first afraid to attempt to walk, for fear of falling. "Who is that man?" he asked. "Tell him to go out." "Why, Otto, that's your father," he was told by his wife. Raschke had been very fond of his father, but in his new condition he abhors the very sight of him. Formerly Raschke was an inveterate smoker. Soon after his return home he saw a man smoking and asked what he was doing. He was offered a cigar, but declared he did not like the odor. A week later he smoked one and was made violently ill. The most wonderful thing he has seen so far is a horse, he never tires of watching the wagons pass his house. When a four-horse dray came by he screamed with delight and called his wife to see the wonderful sight. "They tell me she is my wife and o y*r\ mi'nn " coM llia.1 1 ucbt? Viiiiiuicn aic xijjuv, Unix* Raschke the other day, " I have taken their word for so many things that I am believing them in this, but it seems mighty strange to me. At first I did not know how to think about them, but I grew to love them again. Everything is new and I am learning every minute. There is so much to learn. "The doctors tell me that some day I may recover. They say it may be slow, just a little bit at a time, or that everything may be made clear in a twinkle. In the latter case they tell me that I will forget all these days and that there will be a gap between the time they say I fell from the train and the time that I awake, and that I will never know anvthiner ahrnit. those davs. People come to see me and tell me they are friends of mine. I don't know them. I never saw them hefore. Some of them I like and some I do not like." Rasehke's two little boys are as fond of him as ever and climb around on their father's knees as they always did. He has grown very fond of them and keeps them with him all the time. * COTTON TO BE CHEAPER. Thinks Next Crop Will Bo Down to Eight Cents. The Barnwell People says it looks like the next cotton crop may bring in the neighborhood of eight cents a pound. Why? 1. Because the sales of horses and mules in the south during the past four months have been 15 per cent, greater than for the same period of last year, and a corresponding in crease in acreage is counted on. 2. Because record-breaking saies of fertilizers are being made. Shipments from Charleston to the interior of the state last week averaged 3 75 carloads a day. From the factories at Savannah, Augusta, Columbia and the numerous oil mills other largo quantities were shipped by trains and handled on wagons. 3. Because the greed of the cotton mill lords grow. They want more profit. They mean to get profit. They mean to get even with and ahead of tho fflrmpre for hnvintr Ko/1 +/-? r\n\r 14 cents for cotton this year. By September 1st they will be organized as one big strong force, while the farmers are single and scattered.

Poor, pitiful Peary. The lecture was advertised to he- t( gin at 8:30 o'clock. When that hour }f arrived, a few hundred impatient p people were scattered among the va- 5 cant seats in the vast amphitheatre, b occassionally stamping the feet and , tl clapping?to keep themselves warm. The minutes sped. The cold and tl impatience increased. Have you ever n seen the brethren and sisters wait- t< ing for the late parson at a Wednes- B day night prayer meeting in a small a town? That is what the scene sug- c gested. 1) Presently upon the barren stage w appeared F. L. Seely and Commander o Peary.

His hearers continued io doubt, but ceased to dislUe i ir explorer. o Not one wo *d did h^ K.iv of Dr. w Cook, not one word of Governor tl Brown's criticism or Mayor Maadox's o unwillingness to welcome him. The h spirit of rough, ungentlemanly brag- ti gadocio which has been attributed to him in more than one newspaper report was pleasantly lacking. He ^ jarred upon nobody. s After exhibiting two or three maps showing the location of the v north pole with adjacent lands and 0 lev seas, he nluneed directly in med ias res and told the story of hii lat- ^ est and last expedition in th? frozen 1 north. He was not argumentative ~~ or melodramie. A splendid collection of intensely interesting photographs, poorly thrown upon the screen, constituted the principal features of the evening. Practically everything he said was in explana tion of the pictures. The only reference he made to the popular doubt that he had reached the pole was a short statement tending to refute the objection that he had made more speed after h? left his supporting party than he had made with it. In the first place, in all arctic exploration, said he, the final dash was necessarily more rapid. It was supposed to be. That was whv the last stage was always called the "dash for the pole." I lA regiment could progress at a certain speed, said he. A picked "I company from that regiment could ? go still faster. A picked squad from that company could make still better time, and the crack sprinter of that squad could go the fastest of all. The last dash he said, was made practically in that way, with the in cumbrance of supporting parties and heavy bageage left behind. Commander Peary was heard with intense interest, but there was no enthusiasism when he flashed upon the serene his picture of the stars and stripes nailed to the "top of the world," and there was no ovation after the lecture ended. * m Ni Don't Lend Auto. Don't lend your auto; it may cost si you a matter of $5,000 or so. This m lesson has been brought home forcibly to James C. Brady, a New York broker, who has been directed by a ni ennromo pnnrt lnrv tn nav 5 r\ 0(1(1 ' to Benjamin Friedbauni, a lad who was hit by Mr. Brady's car some m months ago. Mr. Brady had loaned the car to his brother and a hired chauffeur drove it. The verdict, st however, was returned against the Cc owner of the car. * Ni - - - ac Ni Loss of Wife Is Worth $5,000.

Many stories are now related how ifluention and wealthy men refused i listen to Professor Bell, much less ivest money in developing the injntion, and thereby missed securing lillions of dollars. Twenty years after the wire telshone came into use the electricians :-gan to dream about sending mestges without the aid of wire conections. Many worked on the prolem. Then came Marconi with the rireless telegraph. Marconi tried > interest people of means in his wn country, Italy, with his invenon. The fifteen year old boy was )oked upon by his people as little etter than a lunitic. He went to ranee. No one would listen to him. \ England fianciers laughed at im. The engineers of the British avernment, however, looked into his lans, and Marconi was given a small ension to develop his invention. To ay the wireless telegraph is used y every government in the world. Marconi's invention started other lectricians to thinking and experilenting. Among them was A. Fredrick Collins, a young electrician of hiladelphia. If one could transmit lessages by telegraph without wires, rhy not talk through space with a ireless telephone? Young Collins ot busy. He sturlied and continued ) experiment. He invented the wire?ss telephone, and secured the basis atents on the invention. The Collins wireless telephone may e said to combine the principles of le Bell wire telephone and Marconi tireless telepraph. A remarkable tiing about it is that the voice comes lore distinct through the wirelss alephone than through the ordinary iell telephone. The voice impulses re carried by waves of the mole ules of ether and are reproduced y the mechanism of the receiver rherever it may be within the zone f the radical energy of the sending slephone station. These sound raves are called hertizian waves, afar Dr. Hertz who discovered their xistence. They travel with a speed f 185,000 miles a second, for indenite distance. Wireless telegraph lessages sent out from New York ave been caught and read on the 'acific ocean. The wireless telephone has been d perfected that it will transmit the uman voice with perfect distinctess 200 mile. A picture in the issue f February 16 of the Telegraph and 'elephone Age shows the inventor, l. Frederick Collins, at Newark, onversing with the Collins comany's office in the Land Title buildlg in Philadelphia, 81 miles away. The hertzian sound waves are not iterfered with or obstructed by walls r mountains. A short time ago a 'ireless telephone of the demonstraion type was set up in the vault ffice of the county clerk in the court ouse at Orangeburg, and conversaions were carried on through the oor foot walls of the vault, and 28nch wall of the room across the all from the vault. By simply presing a button in the far room the ell of the phone was rung in the ault. through more than six feet f solid masonry. It is said that with the same faility the vibrations pass through undreds of feet of solid earth, into Rheumatism! Not one ease in ten requires internal treatment.

The premises include 12,000 feet of rock tunnel under Lake Michigan, 150 feet felow the water level. The field of usefulness for the wireless telephone will be practically unlimited. Mr. Collins has invented a small but powerful wireless telephone to be carried on automobile. With it physicians may talk from wherever they are to nurses in the sick-rooms of their patients. Motorists may call up and talk to any garage in event of tire trouble or need of assistance. The Collins Wireless Telephone now maintains offices in nearly every State.

The usual .order of breach of promise suits is reversed in the case of Frank Catterton against Mrs. Lucy E. McKnight, of Baltimore, Md. Catterton is 28 years of age, and the | widow in the case 68. The young man asks 220.000 damaee. the claim including bouquets, candy and theater tickets which he lavished on his charmer during their love making. The plaintiff is a linotype operator. Mrs. McXight is said to be worth nearly $100,000. About three years ago Catterton met Mrs. McKnight at a social gathering at her home. The widow invited the young man to call agvn, and he became a daily visitor fcr about 18 months. Then, it is alleged, Mrs. McKnight proposed that they marry. He agreed, and a month or two later obtained a marriage license Mrs. McKnight was to meet her finance and go to a clergyman's 'none to have the ceremony performed, but he says, when he went to her home, she told him she had changed her mind and that they would wait until she had her house fixed up and they would be married there. Afterward, it is declared, Mrs. McKnight still declined to marry, but told Catterton that she would leave him $15,000 in her will. * I OX RESCUES KEEPER. IJig Beast Upsets His Cage and Pin.? Hyena to the Ground. Attacked from behind by a ferocious hyena that had escaped from a temporary cage, Capt. Snider, an animal trainer for Wheeler's circus, canre within an ace of losing his life at Oxford, Pa. He was sav^d from sure death by a vicious lion, which had killed two trainers, wounded two others and was supposed to be untamable. The hyena was a new arrival in the menagerie and was still in Its shipping box. It worked loose the small door and got out while Capt. Snider was eating breakfast. As the trainer went down under the attack he had presence of mind to lie perfectly still, knowing that at the least movement the frenzied hyena, which was standing over him, wauld pounce upon him and tear him to pieces. He lay this way for aoout five minutes, when help came from a most unexpected quarter. The big lion had seen the attack by the hyena and immediately made a strenuous effort to break his cage. This was impossible. Crouching in one corner he made a terrific leap and thf> impact when he struck the side of his cage overturned it and ! pinned the hyena to the floor. Capt. Snider was saved and the hyena is i now in substantial quarters. * BARGAINS! BARGAINS! While they1 last.?A number of slightly used $?>."> High Grade Organs for only $58.50.
