grees at jBaHrf?ttn on the 19th, and
the lowest mininium temperature was
49 degrees at Bowman and Trial on
the 14th. The mean temperature for
the week was slightly ahove normal
for the same period. There were
numerous complaints of too cool
nights early in the week, hut the
night temperatures were more fav
orable during the last four days.
The week's rainfall was very light
and confined to the northern and
southwestern border counties, and it
was not general even in those sec
tions. The amounts varied from a
trace of rain to 0.S0 of an inch the
latter at Allendale, Barnwell County.
In those parts of the State where no
rain fell the soil has become very
dry, as the prevailing low relative
humidity and frequent fresh winds
evaporated the surface moisture
quickly, although the lack of mois
ture is as yet, not sufficiently harmful
to be called a drought. Aside from
the deficiency in rainfall, there were
no damaging weather conditions what
ever during the week. The sky was
overcast as the week ended.

provisions of New Immigration
Measure
NEW ORLEANS GETS AN OFFICIAL
Senator Gallinger's Proviso, Authoriz
ing the Maintenance of Agencies at
Inunigralicn Stations hy States and
Corporations Interested Tacked on
to thc Measure.
Washington, Special.-A hill of un
usual interest to the South was the
immigration act passed by the Senate
on Wednesday.
The bill consists of a series of
amendments to the exLting law, all
of them intended to permit stricter
regulations for keeping out the defec
tive classes of aliens. The head tax
is'increased from $2 to $5. Thc ques
tion of sectionalism cropped out dur
ing di?cussiou on the amendment
authorizing the creation of a bureau
of information for the benefit of im
migrants. On this point Senator Mc
Creary said that especial effort should
be made to secure a better distribu
tion of immigrants than is obtained
under the present system. Now, he
said, most of the new comers locate
in the eastern States and large cities,
where they are not needed, whereas
thc South, where immigration is de
1 sired, is almost entirely overlooked.
In suport of his contention he said
that 2S5,000 aliens located in New
York last year, and only 600 sought
homes in Kentucky. He also called
attention to thc fact that the South is
not represented in the immigration
sen-ice and criticised the arrange
ment as sectionalism.
Senator Spooner defended the pres
ent immigration service against the
charge of sectionalism and said the
commissioner of immigration was in
no sense an agent for the States.
Senator Bacon said the provision
permitting State representation at the
stations should be so extended as to
permit immigration societies to be
represented, his object heing to af
ford railroads an opportunity to
present the advantages of the country
penetrated by them.
After further debate, an amend
ment offered by Mr. Gallinger was
modified and adopted. As agreed to
it authorizes the creation of a division
of information, limits thc expense to
$20,000 and authorizes' Slates and
Territories and corporations interest
ed in immigration to maintain
agencies at the immigration stations.
A suggestion by Senator McCreary
authorizing the apointment of a
commissioner of immigration at New
Orleans was agreed to.
FACTS WORTH KNOWING.
Los Angeles Has Not Suffered From
Recent Earthquake.
A number of exaggerated and mis
leading reports in regard to thc effect
upon Los Angeles of the recent San
Francisco earthquake having been
widely published throughout the East
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce, by unanimous vote of the
board of direetorc, has prepared for
circulation the following brief state
ment of facts:
The damage done by earthquake in
San Francisco, outside of the loss of
life, did not exceed five per cerSt of
the total damage done by fire and
earthquake. Los Angeles is 500 miles
from San Francisco, a distance equal
to that from Charleston, S. C., lo
Washington, D. C.
Since the founding of Los Angeles
by the Franciscan fathers, on Sept.
4th, 1771, up to the preser-t date,
there has never been any injury what
ever done to life or property hy an
earthquake shock in or near the city.
Geologists say that the rock foun
dation underlying the city of Los
Angeles is of such a nature that it
is as. safe from danger of earthquake
as any locality in the United Slates.
From the earliest, recorded history
of California, down to the date of
the San Francisco earthquake, the en
tire number of lives lost by earth
quake shocks, within the confine* of
the state, have not aggregated over
100, if so much, or less loss of life
than has frequently been caused by
a single cyclone or tornado.
Business in Los Angeles ls booming,
the manufacturers and wholesale mer
chants being over-taxed to supply the
extraordinary demands mjide upon
them for supplies. Los Angeles being
for thc time thc leading city of the
Pacific Coast.
Real estate values in Los Angeles
have not suffered at all from the San
Francisco calamity. On the contrary,
prices of industrial property have
shown a tendency to increase, owing
to the large number of firms that are
contemplating ?slablishiug themselves

Small Outbreak in Santo Domingo
Washington, Special.-News ol' .an
other ?mal! oui breaks in Sanio Do
mingo reached here from a naval of
ficer on that station, to the follow
ing effect: "News has been receiv
ed of an insurrection at Marcoris,

MUST APPLY TO EXPORTS
Jurisdiction of the Government in Ex
port Freight Rates is Upheld by
Federal Judge McPherson at Kan
sas City in Decision Overruling De
murrer of the Burlington Ballway.
Kansas City, Mo., Special.-The de
murrer of the Burlington Railway,
denying the jurisdiction of the gov
ernment in export freight rates, was
overruled in the United States Court
here by Judge Smith McPherson, of
Iowa. The decision is of great im
portance to shipping interests of all
sections of the country and of particu
lar weight at present because it tends
to destroy tLe contention of the rail
ways that export rates need not be
made public.
It means, too, that the Burlington
Railway and the other railroad cor
porations and persons indicted here
in December must stand trial on the
charge of accepting rebates. The trial
of the Burlington was set for May
31.
Attention was drawn to the report
of the inter-State commerce commis
sion, December 14, 1905, in which it
was said that "it was a mooted ques
tion whether the present act requires
carriers to nie and maintain tariffs
under which they transport exports
and imports, but the commission has
a number of times decided that the
statutes covered this point." ,
"The same section," ihe decision
says, "fiuds the same kind of com
merce included by the act, aud in
clude, from the United States to a
foreign country." The fact that half
a billion of dollars' worth of ex
port? are shipped from the United
States is a powerful argument in fa
vor of the proposition that they should
n^.t be hampered with rate tariffs
difficult or impossible to observe be
cause ocean rates vary from day to
day. But is that an argument that
oan^ persuade the courts upon the
question of what construction shall
be given a statute if such-statute is
valid?"
The statute, Judge McPherson 6ays,
forbids lowering the rates except on
three days' notice, and forbids rais
ing them except on 10 days' notice.
It is clear, he continues, "that car
riers hy railways and water inland,
when acting under a common agree
ment, are covered by the statutes, as
well as commerce by any, method
with an adjacent foreign country.
And as lo inter-state comerce, it is
included. Because these are specifi
cally enumerated, it is contended that
all others are excluded. Conceding
the force of this elementary' and rec
ognized rule of construction, there,
in my opinion, is the error of the
entire argument of defendant's coun
sel. Congress did not enumerate ocean
commerce, because it would have been
frivolous to do so."
Jail For Senator Burton.
Washington, Special-The Supreme
Court of the United States; rendered
a decision in the case of United States
Senator Joseph R. Burton, of Kan
sas. The decision was against Bur
ton, affirming the decision of the Unit
ed States Circuit Court for the east
ern district of Missouri, ? by, which
Burton was sentenced to six months'
imprisonment in the jail of Iron coun
ty, Mo., required , to pay1 ? : fine of
$2,500, and deprived of the right to
hereafter hold office under the gov
ernment, ' '
$100,000 Fire at Abbeville, Ala.
Dorhan, Ala., Special.-Fire at Ab

section of thc town causing a loss es
timated at .$100,000. The. amount of
insurance is not stated, but it is be
lieved to be less than half 'the total
loss. The residence section of the
city escaped.

race which-has bae.n on for nearly

The Invalid's Fire.
When a fire has to be kept up all
night in the room of an invalid, an
old, loose glove should be kept handy
with a long wooden stick. With the
glove on a piece of coal can be pick-'d
up with the fingers and put on the
fire without making a sound, while
when the fire requires poking this can
be done with the stick with far less
noise than with an ordinary poker.
To Make Table Mustard.
To prepare mustard, mix two table
spoonfuls of the powder with half a
teaspoonful of salt and a salt spoonful
of pepper and stir to a creamy paste
with equal quantities of vinegar, table
or olive oil and hot water. Have ready
a poker, made red hot and thrust it
into the mixture till the bubbling
ceases. The result is a smoothness
and flavor unequalled by the bes/
French mustard.
Candle Shades from Wall Paper.
Very attractive candle shades of
any color, in flower or design to
harmonize with surroundings, are
made from wall paper and coarse net.
Cut the net to fit the mica shade pro
tectors, which cost 10 cents apiece.
Cut the designs from wall paper, of
which there is an endless assortment,
and paste them on the net. If a girl
is skillful with her brush, the designs
may be painted with still less cost..
The Art of Braising.
Braising is a particularly good way
io treat dry meats like veal, lean beef
from the under part of the round or
the face of the rump, the shoulder of
mutton, heart, liver, tough fowls,
pigeons or other dry game. The
method of braising ls like the old
time pot roast, only the braising is far
easier in that the water in which it is
cooked does not need replenishing and
there is much less danger of the kettle
burning dry. In each case the meat
is rolled in flour, seasoned with salt,
pepper and just a dusting of sugar
to assist in the quick browning. Then
it is browned in the bottom of a kettle
or frying pan, using some of its own
fat, drippings or butter as preferred.
After this browning process, it is put
into a stew pan or braising kettle,
covered with well-flavored soup stock,
gravy or even hot water, with herbs
and seasonings, then covered tightly
and left to simmer gently for several
hours.
. To Cleanse and Brighten Carpets.
After carpets have been thoroughly
beaten on both sides, the color may be
brightened by the following: Add one
pint of ox-gall to a pint of warm wa
ter; into this dip a soaped flannel, and
rub the surface of the carpet well,
rinsing as you proceed with clean
cold water. Use care that the carpet
Is not made too wet, and finish by rub
bing wit*, a dry coarse cloth. If pos
sible to do this out of doors, or if the
carpet is laid, open all windows, as the
ox-gall has an unpleasant odor. How
ever, this soon passes away. If there
are grease spots on the carpet use the
following mixture: one quart of soft
water; aqua ammonia, two ounces;
one tablespoonful saltpetre; one
ounce shaving soap, finely scraped.
Mix well and allow it to stand several
days. Pour on enough to cover the
spot and rub well, then wash off with
clear water. When ink has been
spilled on a carpet, dip up with a
spoon as much as possible, then pour
cold sweet milk upon the spot, and
keep taking up with a spoon and pour
ing on the milk, until the milk is only
faintly colored with ink, then wash
with cold water and wipe dry. Faded
carpets may be restored by washing
with strong salt water.-The House
keeper.

Matter of Relative Risk.
"I seo that Maxim Gorky is In Ber
lin superintending the production of
dis playj 'The Children ot the Sun/ "
said a newspaper correspondent
"Later on he will come to America
and I will be glad to shake his thin,
cold hand again.
"I met Gorky In St. Petersburg. He
Is delightful. He told me that a Rus
sian soldier only gets about $2, or 3
rubles, a year-say 5 copecks a day.
"During the war, said Gorky, a pri
vate soldier stole a shirt worth half a
ruble and was condemned to be shot.
"Aa he was being led away to death
his colonel act him.
'"Ivan, Ivan,' said the colonel re
proachfully, 'what a fool you were to
risk your Ufo for the sake of 50 co
pecks.'
" 'Colonel/ Ivan answered, 4I risk it
every day for 5 copecks.' "
Moat Powerful Microscope.
Dre. Zsigmondy and Sledentopi! of
Jena, Germany, have devised an "ul
tra-microscope" by the aid of walch
particles of matter entirely undis
tinguishable by ordinary microscopes
of the highest power are brought to
light. The principle acted on ls the
same as that witnessed in the motes
of dust seen floating in a sunbeam,
which motes are in themselves in
finitely small but which are made
visible by their interruption of the
light. With the new microscope parti
cles of gold only l-l,260,000,0OOth of an
inch in size wyre distinguished. Gold
is used for giving the red color to
ruby glass, and under this wonderful
ini&trument the particles of gold were
resolved into separate arralns of about
that size, whereas undur other micro
scopes the gold simply appears as a
uniform coating.

Plea for the Simple Life.
"Speaking of the woful waste of
money, we wish to interrupt the meet
ing long enough to give a few figures
on an important matter that seems
to have been entirely overlooked,"
says Homer Hoch. "We refer to the
four buttons on the sleeves of men's
coats. ? Now, there are probably 600,
000 men In Kansas, and they probably
have on an average two coats apiece.
That makes 1,200,000 coats and 4,800,
000 or 400,000 dozen sleeve buttons.
The buttons cost about 20 cents a
dozen, and at that rate the men of
Kansas- lalone ?ire carrying around
on their coat sleeves in the form of
buttons that have no use on earth
or in the sky an investment of about
$80,000 i And the estimate is most
conservative. Fellow countrymen, in
the name of economy, and thrift, and
philanthropy, and business sense; and
all sorts of other things, is there no
way to stop thiB reckless extrava
gance?"-Kansas'City Journal.
The Quicker Way.
A. J. Cassatt, the president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, said at his
New Year's reception, anent an in
experienced workman:
"That reminds me of a Western
lad. He got a place on a railroad,
became a brakeman, then a fireman,
and one day, in an emergency, he un
dertook to run a locomotive.
"He ran the locomotive well
enough, but he could not stop with
the necessary precision, for this needs 1
practice. ]
"With one station in particular he
had trouble. He ran some thirty
yards beyond this station, and then,
putting back, he ran as far the oth- ,
er way. He was preparing for a
third attempt, when the station agent
put his head eut of the window and
shouted:
" '3tay where you are, Jim. We'll ,
shift, the station for you.'"-New
York Tribune.
How to Have Sweet Peas All Sum
mer.
When ihe sweet peas come into
bloom, out their flowers off as soon
as they begin lo fade. This prevents
I hem from forming seed, and the
plants, in their efforts to perpetuate
their kind, wilt straightway produce
more flowers, arid keep on doing this
as long as interfered with, lu this
inaner flowers are secured through
out the entire season. But, if seed is

DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS

Manu,, and Eeceive Valuable Ad'
Absolutely Confidential and Fri o
Thar? can be BO more terrible crdaaj
to a delicate, sensitive, refined werna*
than to be obliged to answer cerraia
questions in regard to her private ills,
evan when those questions are asked
by ber family physician, and many
continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which so many physi
cians propose in order tb intelligently
treat the disease; and this is thc rea
son why so many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre
sponding with Mrs. Pi uk nam, daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pink h am, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they caa. confide every
detail of their illness, and from her
great knowledge, obtained from years
of experience in treating female ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helpedilrs.T.
C. Willadfcen.of Manning, Ia. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham: .
" I can truly say that you have saved my
life, and I cannot express ray gratitude In
words. Before I wrote to you telling yon
how I felt, I bad doctored for over two years
steady, and spent lots of money in m edi cin?s
besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I
hod female trouble and would daily hare faint
ing spells, backache, bearing-dorm pains, and
my montbly periods were very irregular and
finally ceased. I wrote to you for your ad
vice- and received a letter full of instructions
?cst what to do, and alto commenced to take
jydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and I have been restored to perfect health.
Had it not been for you I would hare been
in my grave to-day/'
Mountains of proof establish tho fact
that no medicine in the world equals
Lydia E. Pinkham'B Vegetable Com
pound for restoring women's health.
