Constables Sent Back.
' So constables are to be sent back to
York county, at the request of county
cfflcals and Senator Brloe. We
? agree wltb"tu.e Columbia Record that
"ibis seems curious when we take In
' consideration the allegation that is
' conticously made to us that whore a
j ctunty votes for prohibition tbat fact
1 sbows ttat public sentiment is back
of it and that sentiment woald see to
it that prohibition is enforced. There
' seems to b3 something wrong with
> the allegation or with public sentiment
and we wtuldlike for somebody
to explain to us what is the trouble.
: In York, for instance, did the vote in
the dispensary election represent the
sentiment of the ma'oritj,:? If so why,
is it ncoeisary to call in batsl.de aid to
' enforce the law ? The truth' is that
the enfoic ment of prohibition is a
dream which cannot be real z 3d and
i we might as well realJzj the fact
from what experieica we have al|
ready had with it and consider the
! question from a practical standpoint.'
He Advertised. f: Oace
there was a boy named John?
we think his last name was Wanna
maker, or maybe It was Money-maker
anyhow, his name was Jobn, witb
some sort of a maker attached to his
last name. He owned fifty yards of
calico, three pairs jeans, a half dczen
pair of borne made yarn socks and five
pairs of boots. He called this a dry
goods store thrcugh a Philadelphia
newspapers ana c nirea toseu a pair 01
socks for 39 csnts. The den't bjlleve
in advertising merchants laughed!
young John spent 865 with the Phila.
delphia Ledger to advertise just one
t>l t e, and had less than $100 worth of
ga "is. He was cautioned by the mer
hams who 'who knew it don't pa? 1' It
was thru sympathy that they offered
hiir. advice. But John didn't listen
to tbem, and went and blew his money
<l foolishly; and today poor John
sees the results of his misdoings?he
has so many large dry goods stores
that he can hardly find time to study
his Sunday school lesson.
Breakfast Food Humbug.
With tht muliplicity of cereals and
ind breakfast foods that has been indented
and manufactured the head of
in average family is up against it
vhen he goes down town to order his
supply of inside matter sent to bis
'louse. He is at a loss what kind of a
ureakfast food Is best adapted for his
interior department. Between
Ground Cobo," "Slivered Shingles" i
iod "Sawdusta Itfutto" the old man i
!s liable to ffetafr.fli nutty himself, i
to the good old days of hog and
oominy, baked beans, mush and milk
ibeie was no attempt at stuffiag the
Mil jf fare with salted shaviDgs ^
A tablespoon of vinegat added to |
cooking turnips, onions or Qther ill ;
smelling vegetables, will kill the i
smell. BurniDg papers in a rorm, will <
purify it wonderfully if coffee, cam- i
phor or spices are not handy. j(

LOST IN A SNOW STORM.
A R'ch Glil in Wild HUIm Thought to
be Dead.
A dispatch from''Denver, Ool., says
Miss Vivian George, daughter of F.
George, a wealthy Los Angeles merchant,
and Ralph Loughbrough, an
artist and cartoonist, of Kalamzo,
M'c i.,! are believed to have perished
in the mountains near Arapahoe
Peak, fifty miles northwest of Denver.
Tbey were members of a bunting party,
and left Down's jniniDjj, camp on
Saturday momiDg, Dec." 16. Tbey
have been missing since tbat afternoon.
..
Hunting parties bave been rciuriDg
tbe mountains since tbeir disappearance,
but tbe only trscs found was
Mr. Lcu^hbrough's rifle. Tne s?arob
still continues, and tbe searchers are
being added to by new recru'ts. Miss
George's father has offered a large reward
for tbe return of bis daughter,
dead or alive.
Miss George is well known in Denver,
where she has often bien the
guest of friends. Sbe is an heiress
and when presented at the Eoglisb
court last year was dr clared by Klrg
Elward to be one cf tbe most beautiful
of America's beautiful women.1
?Jl? ? ? nnt.hiicHaat.Irt hnnt?r. and
QUC 10 aia cu VUU0IM???V
when & hunting party was proposed
last Saturday she entered into it with
eagerness.
Mr. and Miss George, acoompanied
by George Bellidgton, a prominent
Salt Lake City attorney, and Ralph
Loughbrough, followed a iruide from
Dowd's camp to Windy Point, near
Arapahoe Peak. There tbey found a
line, despite a heavy snowstorm, and
started-, about fifty yards apart, to
stalk what was believed to be an tile.
When Miss George and the artist
failed to return it was thought at first
tbey had taken refuge In some shel
tered spot and would return as soon
as the fury of the storm abated, but
they were not seen afterward.
JUWJJLB 8AVED BY DREAM.
Salesman Woko Up in Time to Frighten
Burglar Away.
Louis Pcpkin, a jewelry salesman
of Kansas Olty arrived In New York
four days ago, with $2,300, which he
carried in a belt around his waist, and
a satchel, which he says contains til,
000 worth of samples. He hired a
room In the boarding house
atrl42 Clinton street, and made do
seoretofthe treasures he carried. At
night when he went to bed, he put
the belt under the pillow and the satchel
under the bed.
Eaily T1 ursday morning, as Pop
kin described it afteiward, he bad a
fcorrihln rirflflm. Ha thOUffht the
bouse was revolving around, while a
fierce tornado raged without. Then
suddenly the roof caved In, and he
woke up just In time to see a man
groping under the bed. The burglar
fled, and Popkin quickly placed his
'hands under the pillow and found
that the bait was gene. He ran down
tbe stairs in his night cloths, but the
burglar was nowbere in sight when
he reached the street.
He found a policeman at the next
corner, and when they went bse^ tc
investigate they founa money .strewn
in the halls and on the stairways
leac iog to Popkln's room. They
gathered up $1,300, whJc^i the burglar
must have dropped out of the belt
as he ran. The . satchel was safe.
Max Adler, of 163 Brccme street was
&uts(quently aires!,ed cn suspicion of
beifrg the-thief.

A LobDr or Boodlers.
It has Come out in the'*testimony
before New York's insurance committee
that there is in existence a lobby
supported by great financial interests
provided with a j ?int boodle fund and
maintained ror tne purpose or ngnir
in ft any measure that threatens to
advance the public Interests or curtail
the power of special interests Id
any particular. Referring to "the
scope of the Insurance lobby" the
Denver. -News says: "The letters
read in the investigation, written by
Thoma D. Jordan, former controller
of tba Equitable, proved this fact be
,yond a ooubt. The.New York Tribune,
in its report of tbe proceedings,
said tbat tbe instructions given to
lobbyists "revealed a. range of legislation
prictlcally without limit. Here
are some extracts from these letters:
We are in favor of bill No. 99 for
che widening and improvement of
Wesi One Hundred and Thlrty-fifuh
street. Please note we are opposed
to assembly introductory bills 135
and 136 Amending the stock corporation
law in relation to books, of account
of stockholders. Please note
that we are vigorously opposed to
senate bill 150, Malby. ,:i want to
keep track of this measure till it Is
killed. We ire vigorously opposed
to introductoty. No., .273, .Robinson,
ceding to the town of Islip certain
water rights. We are interested in
Senator Mjran's bill, introductory
350, reducing the rate of interest to
5 per cent. I imagine this latter
measure will have a long sleep. I desire
to again call your attention to
Senators Mai By's bill, introductory
250. We are opposed to this bill.
Some of these "objectionable" bills
related to the employment) of women
and children, some to labor laws i
protecting or aiding.the workingman,
some relating to tenement houses, to '
the security of guests in hotels, to
the taxation of banns apci trust companies
and the News asks: "Can ,
anyone doubt that what is true of
the insurance trust and legislation at
Albany is alsD true in Washington {
and in all state capitals and of many
other financial combines? Can they :
lODger doubt that machine politics, whatever
the party always works 1
with wheels oiled by corporate funds? !
Can they not see that something fun- 1
damental is required to free the nation
from sucn a clutch upon its j
throat?" |

PLUNGED INTO ICY WATEE8
An
And Saved Men Who Had -Faced
D< ath Forty Honrs,
Three daring swimmers rescued the Mi
two Italian laborers who fjr more a .
thaB 40 hours bad been imprisoned in
the East river tunnel of the Pjnnsylvanla
railroad by a cave in at the &D
Long Island City end of the under- he
water bcre. Surrounded by water
wh'ch threatened to engu f them the 0'(
moment the compressed air should
fall to hold it in check, the entombed ^
bad kept up constant communication
with rapping on the pipes which f0
brought then* air. fr
They were almost exhausted when <p
tt e three men swam up to the plat- ga
form on which they were huddled.
It was with difficulty that the res- a
cuers induced the frightened men to rr
pluoge into tbe water they had dread- q>
ed so loDg. Finally this was accomplished,
towe?er, the two strong ie
swimmers of the three each taking a h<
man upon his back while the third ^
swam alongside to lend assistance in p,
in cise of need. ^
Ever since tbe cave-In which filled ^
the shore end of the ture where the at
men were working jvith water more x
chan ICO labcres had worked desper- ej
ately to sink a shaft to the point ^
where the men were thought to be.
Late today they reached the concrete ^
top of the tunnel. Then the work w
became so Udieuj and slow that it Yl
seemed that the men could hot be ?)
reached while alive. 0(
In the meantime powerful pumps C(
were working to overcome the inflow ^
of water from the river. At first they Ql

came a slight lowering of the level Id fj
the choked-entrance to the tunnel.
A row boat was sent for, but when it
arried It was seen that It must be
hours before th$ water should oe suffl tx
ciently reduced to permit of the en- E
trance of a boat. C
Some one at the entrance suggusted c<
that the rescuers swim to the exhaust- n
ed men. 'Volunteers were not long in E
coming forward. Benjamin Li wis, e!
himself an old tunnel worker and & C
c.u>ln of one of the imprisoned men, A
was one of them. Obarles Murdorn was h
another and Philip E Hondo was the ai
t.hirri Without thoui/h of their oer- h
sonal safety these three men plunged a
into the ley water at the entrance and b
were soon lost to view in the darkness a
of the bore. Barely two. feet separat y
ed the tunnel top from the surface of tj
the flood water. T
Thee followed anxious moments for st
the watciers outside. The swimmers li
bad been gone seemingly an age, M
when at last a splashing of water b<
brought news to anxious ears that the tf
quest bad elided. Lewis soon ap- ti
peared in view with one of the en- hi
tombed men on h's back. Taen a
mighty cheer went up E Hondo
next appeared with the second liborers
clinging to him desperately. ?!
Work in the rescue shaft stopped and
all five of the men were tenderly a
cared for.

Assaulted and Murdered.
Mrs. JDora Sujrgs was assaulted and
murdered near Miami, Florida, on ^
Tuesday afternoon of la3t week She p!
had been in Miami shopping and her
nephew accompanied her part of the
way home.. Mr. Suggs was alarmed **
b7 the team returning home without
his wife. A search In which the
whole neighborhood joined, resulted ar
in finding her mutilated body. The
ground around it showed signs of a
sever and protracted struggle. I*,
ving Potter, who lives near where the
body was found, saw a a an following ?,
her wagon as she drove by, but he
supposed it was Mr.* Suggs. Rev.
James Bolton also saw her as he e*
thcught at the time singing, but now *
thinks calling for help. One hundred jr
and fifty armed men are searching
the woods and feeling is at a fever
heat. Mrs. Suggs was much loved by
her neighbors. (f

Personal Experience of Aged and
Well Beloved Preacher.
No other man in the community is
j so well-beloved or whose words have
such weight as the minister, who has
devoted his life to the service of mankind
In Maryland one of the mos1
noted Methodist min'sters in the
State suffered severely witb rheumatism.
He found no relief until a friend
recommended RIIECJMACIDE. He
was so delightf d with the results that
for the benefit of other suffers, as a
duty to mankind, he tells his exper
ience in the following letter:
' Reisterstown, Md., Feb. 27th.
"I was taken with inflammatory
Rheumatisnnn my lefr hand and foot
in the beginning of this winter and
suffered greatly. A gentleman in Baltimore
who hadtriea RHEUMACIDE
for Rheumatism recommended it to
me. 1 secured three bottles and took
it in smaller doses than prescribed,
and air now entirely cured. Can use
both hand and foot without the least
inconvenience.
"Yours respectfully,
