MAXY OPPORTUN OTES. Hie Demand for Technically Quali fied Yonng Men. In view of the general impression that the professions are greatly over? crowded, it is surprising to learn that some of the leading railroads of the country are finding much difficulty in securing properly qualified young men to fill subordinate positions on the engineering staff. One road in particular has recently gone so far as to make the fact known to the public press, and to invite communi? cation from young men who have passed through technical schools, and possess the necessary qualifications to enable them to commence work as rodmen and chainmen, or do the simpler instrumental work connect? ed with the construction and main? tenance of railroads. It was further stated that the remuneration would be sufficient to enable these men to maintain themselves at opee in de? cency and comfort, and that for those who showed aptitude and ap? plication there was a reasonable ex? pectation of early promotion. Fur? ther evidence of the excellent open? ing afforded by the present industrial ^ activity is found in the fact that,, in one of the leading technical colleges .of the country, every member of the graduating class of 1906 had secured . an appointment some months before thc c?ose of the college year. The demand for technically qualified men in railroad .work has unquestionably been stimulated by the recognition of the fact that the increase in the ?capacity of weight and motive power and rolling stock, and the demand for more intelligent supervision due to the introduction of electric trae? r? tion on steam roads, is rendering it desirable that not only the engineer? ing department, but also those which have to do with the maintenance and operation of the road should be run by men with sufficient technical knowledge, with sufficient training in natural science, to enable them to .exercise a more intelligent oversight of their departments than is possible ba the case of men whose theoretical knowledge is bounded by the limits ?of a common school education.-Sci -r-r.ti?c American. ? HORACE MARTES" DEAD. Body Discovered Eight Miles From His Home. Dover* Del., May 4.-Tie body of little Horace Marvin, who disappeared .from the farm of his father at Kitts ! Hammock, near here, March 4, was lound this afternoon in a marsh in. a .fair state of peservation. 9 The spot where the body was found is about a halfmile east of the farm house to? ward the Delaware river. Kitts Ham? mock is between seven and eight miles from here and is without com? munication with any place. From information brought by horsemen it is learned that the clothes on the .child were the same as he wore the day he disappeared. The body was found lying face downward. Dr. 'Marvin at the time the body was found was not ready to -say ^whether the body of his child was placed where found or whether the -child wandered in the marsh and lost his way. The marsh was frozen -over the day the boy disappeared. There is a theory that the boy was murdered, and his body placed ii"1 the marsh, as the long grass where the body was found was burned and .cleared four weeks ago. It is said the body lay under a pile of grass and that the clothing showed no evidence p of liavins been touched by fire. The body was found by Ollie Pleas .anton, a neighbor, who was gunning for ducks on the marsh today. He had the body borne to the house and ?covered with a sheet. Pleasanton has figured in the case since Horace was lost, having reported that he had ? .seen the two strange men who ap? peared there inquiring about the top? ography of the country three days: before the disappearance. f A Narrow Eescape. *G. W. Cloyd, a merchant, of Plunk, Mo., had a narrow escape four 1 years ago, when he ran a jimson bur into his thumb. He say?: "The doc? tor wanted to amputate it, but I would not consent. I bought a box of Bucklens' Arnica Salve and that cured the dangerous wound." 25c at .Sibert's Drug Store. AMERICAN" IX TROUBLE. Naturalized American Citizen to Be Tried for Murder in Paris.

Cotton is a special crop adapted to certain localities in the south. It has a limitation in the markets be? cause of the demand for cotton in the mills. The growers state that a fair crop , of about 12,000,000 bales, could j be handled at good prices. But all in excess of that amount would assist in lowering the value for the reason that the manufacturer would combine and hold for the cotton that had tc be marketed at low prices. Because of such conditions the cotton associa? tion sounds a warning note to prevent the increase in acreage planted tc that crop. If the acreage planted is enough to give an additional output of two or thee million pounds in ex? cess, then there is a gave danger for all growers. The same story prevails in all sec? tions where special crops are grown. It applies to the hop industry and all other cultivated crops having a limit to the quality consumed. There is a lesson then for every tiller of the soil to learn so that he can repeat it tc his sons and grandsons. That is, di? versified farming is the safest and best plan for handling the soil. Ev? ery farm has special fields adapted to various crops. A side hill will give better returns from a peach orchard than anything that can be cultivated. Why not plant the trees and take care of the orchard Another selection will give more money returns by be? ing planted to grass and used as pas? ture for dairy cows. Why not intro? duce dairying as one of the sources of income? Diversified crops increases safe profits on the investment, il opens several outlets to the commer? cial market. One crop may be held for higher prices while another is placed on the market.-Seattle Post Intelligencer. THE SANTIAGO AFFAIR. No Cause Assigned for the Attack on the American Sailors-List ol Those Injured. Washington, May 1.-The navy department has received a cablegram from Commander Tappen of the gun at Habana transmitting a report from Cmmander Tappen of the gun? boat Tacoma, now lying at Santiago. Cuba, stating that the trouble had occurred between some of the sailors of that ship on shore leave and the local authorities. Commander Tappen cabled that ten of the personnel o fthe Tacoma were injured in the attack by the police of Santiago. These were: Hen? ry L. Lee, fireman, second class, frac? ture of skull; gunshot wound of lung, condition serious; Ensign A. B. Brisbin, Frank Leghorn, electrician, first class; Elmer F. Anders, appren? tice seaman; Chas. B. Shackleton, machinist mate, first class; Glen Cav? ender, seaman; Harry J. Strudevant. electrician, first class, and Louis Cline, ordinary seaman, cuts and bruises, but not serious; Leslie B. Dustin, seaman, compound fracture of left forearm, serious injury, and Claude J. Pember, electrician, third class, inside wound of left forearm, severe injury. Commande:- Tappen's dispatch states that these men. with the excep? tion of the ensign, composed a liberty .party of the Tacoma and were at? tacked by the police while returning to their ship#at half past 1 o'clock yesterday morning. Xo cause is as? signed for the attack, but it is sup? posed that the men were perhaps singing-, as sailors are apt to do when they have had a happy' evening ashore and on returning to their ship. Commander Tappen reports that he is.making a full investigation into the case and as matters have quieted down in Santiago there is no appre? hension of any further disorder.

RIOTING IN PARIS. I 0\ er One Thousand Arrests Made by the Police. Paris, May 1.-The expectation that May Day would pass off without violence was not realized. The day began in cilm. but to? ward evening the working centers in the vicinity of the trades unions' headquarters became the scene of se? rious disturbances in which many persons were more or less injured. The stringent precautions taken by the authorities and the stern deter? mination to repress disorders, how? ever, brought tranquility before mid? night. The sum total of today's opera? tions was over one thousand arrests; twenty pesrons. including policemen and citizens, badly injured and a great number of persons suffering from contusions or from being tram I pied. One of the gravest incidents re? corded was during iUa afternoon I when Jacob ?Law, a Russian, who is i i a. naturalized American, from the top [ of an omnibus passing the* Palace de la Republique cold-bloodedly lored five shots, by which two cuirassiers were wounded. The crowd attempt? ed to lynch Law, who was dragged down from the omnibus. He was res? cued by the police after he had been severely mauled, and was taken to a police station to await trial. Several other incidents occurred during which firearms were used. After a meeting at the labor ex? changes, five thousand men proceed? ed to the headquarters of the labor j federation, hooting the police mean? while. Charges were made by the police end a woman fired, the bullet striking a member of the bicycle pa crol. The squad of police drew their sabres and revolvers, and a lively melee followed, lasting half an hour. The police pressed the crowd from the Quai Jemmapes to the banks of St. Martin's canal, during which 200 arrests were made and many persons were hurt. Later in the evening, in the Palace de la Republique, the police, w-hile arresting rioters were surrounded by a threatening crowd, which attempt? ed to rescue those taken into custody. Sabres were used freely, but finding their position perilous, the police fired in the air. A further detachment came on the scene at double quick, and with drawn sabres charged and dispersed the crowd. Many persons were injured and many placed under arrest. Dispatches received at the ministry ot the interior report calm every? where in the provinces, the May day demonstrations being confined to meetings and processions singing rev? olutionary1- songs. ?"Here's to your health and hap? piness"-Dewitt's Little Early Risers -famous little pills.
