Drives a Cow In Harness. In Springfield, Ohio, there lives a ▼enerable citizen, who Is known as Father Danforth, the crusader, Re- cently he has taken to driving a cow in harness, says the Cincinnati Post. Father Danforth la quite a character, and he is always given a hearty wel¬ come wherever he goes, His horse died some time ago, and be thought he would try hitching up a cow. The ani- Kial took to harness good-naturedly, and after a few lessons became man¬ ageable with the bridle. It can now be driven anywhere as easily as a horse. Danforth tried an older cow in harness, and met with success, and afterward he alternated, He milks both cows and sells the milk, establishing what is known as “The White Saloon." Danforth also conceived the idea that leaves could be utilized as food for cows, and he has been feeding them right along, He has recently estab- lished a business where leaves are handled and baled for sale.

Bubbles or Medals. “ Best sarsaparillas.” When you think of it how contradic¬ tory that term is. For there can be only<ftae host in anything—one longest best sarsaparilla, as there is one highest mountain, one river, one deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparilla is--?.... There’s the rub! You can measure mountain height and ocean depth,but how test sarsaparilla? Youxouldif you were chemists. But then do you need to test it? The World's Fair Committee tested it,_and thoroughly. They wont behind the label on the bottle. What did this sarsaparilla-test result in ? Every So it make of sarsaparilla shut out of sarsaparilla the Fair^excopt.Ayer’s. admitted the World’s was that Ayer’s was the only it the boot. They had to for Fair. The committee found no room anything that was not the best. And as the best, Ayer’s Sarsa¬ parilla received the medal and awards due its merits. Remember the word “ best ” is a bubble any breath can blow; but there are pins to prick such bubbles. Those others are blowing pricked more the “best sarsaparilla” bubbles since the World’s Fair old ones. True, but Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has the medal. The pin that scratches the medal proves it gold. The pin that pricks the bubble proves it wind. V/e point to medals, not bubbles, when we says The best sarsaparilla is Ayer’s. HORSES ON SNOWSHi Only Way They Can Travel Over Twenty Feet of Snow. A11 the horses working at the placer mine under the shadow of Pilot Peak, Plumas Country, California, wear snowshoea. The altitude of the place Is about 6,500 feet and enormous quan¬ tities of snow fall there In the winter, not Infrequently reaching to the depth of twenty feet, says the San Francisco Call. "To overcome the disadvantages of the snow and enable us to carry on our projects there,” said Mr. Bowman, one of the owners of the mine, “we put snowshoes on the horses. By doing this we are able to bet in our supplies of groceries, meats, canned goods and other things, and to transport the pro¬ duct of our mines. All our picks, shovels, giant powder and similar things that have to be taken about in winter ore handled in this way. “Only California-bred horses are used. It has been found these are the best, and, if possible, we get mountain horses—those that are raised at high altitudes. The horses go right along in the snow. They usually take a fast walk, but sometimes they trot a little. “They get so accustomed to the snow- shoes that they don’t stumble or fall at all, and they like them so well that they don't like to walk without them. They will put up their feet to have the snowshoes put on. “We used wooden shoes at first and they worked very well, but now we have something a great deal better. It consists of a thin steel plate eight inches In diameter, through which are hole3 for the calks of the ordinary shoe. The plate is fastened by a steel spring to the lower part of the hoof, and there is a nut on it so it can be screwed up tight with a wrench. “On the bottom of this steel plate is a coating of India rubber, and this, by the way, is a great improvement in horse snowshoes. It keeps the shoe free entirely of snow, whereas former¬ ly Bnow used to clog and fill up on the plate. This would cause the horses to slip and flounder around. Even when the horses are fitted out with snow- shoes far the first time they rarely ever fall, though, of course, they are usually steadied a little till they get the hang of things. We are careful not to select nervous horses. We don’t want a horse that’s too high-spirited. We rather prefer those that are quiet and not easily perturbed. “The trained snowshoe horse can go anywhere, no matter how precipitous tne mountains are, or how deep the snow Is. We tried for awhile making snowshoes out of alumin¬ um for the horses. The metal was light, and it was thought for a time that it would be just the thing. But we found that the alumin¬ um, unlike steel, would bend, so we gave up the new white metal and stuck to the stdel, using a thick rubber coat¬ ing for the bottom.” Her Dream of Bliss. Cobwdgger—Isn’t that the dress I gave one hundred dollars for that you are wrapping up? Mrs. Gobwigger—It is, my dear. This little affair tonight is what is known as a “charity party. ” Each of us contributes some cast-off garment to the poor. Cobwdgger—You don’t mean to say you are going to give that dress away ? Mrs. Gobwigger—Most decidedly. I would never have accepted the invita¬ tion only I knew that by donating such a gown I could set all the women present talking about me for the next month.—Judge. They Were All There. The wild-eyed gentleman passed and looked long and earnestly at the little wheel ventilator, which was whizzing nroung in the window pane high over his head. “Can it be,” he asked half aloud. Placing one finger to his right ear, he olosed his eyes thoughtfully for a second. “No,” he said, with a Sigh of relief, as he moved on again; “it isn’t one of mine, lost from its place. They’re all there.” Unlike most men he could count his wheels.—Cincinnati Tribune. Duty. Sergeant—I see by your report that you shot some people in the line of duty today. Patrolman—Yes, sir.

SEVERAL LIVES ALREADY LOST, Missouri Lands Being Rapidly Submerged. Rescue Steamers Are Doing Valliant Service. A special from Memphis, Tenn., says: A levee near Carruthersville, Mo., broke Thursday afternoon, but whether any damage was done is not yet known. Private reports are that it was simply a break, while the levee board declares it was the result of a cut. There were no additional drownings reported during the day but the ru¬ mored drowning of five from a bridge in Arkansas was confirmed. The victims were a mother and four children. It is now believed the vast majority of imperiled people within reach of Memphis have been rescued. Theive are about 3,000 of them in the city. The relief committee has wired Gov¬ ernor Jones, of Arkansas, for state aid and urged that he seek federal aid through Arkansas congressmen. He replied that there were no funds at his disposal for that purpose, and that he could do nothing to aid the refugees from his state. 1 he war department notified Cap- tain Fitch, of the Lnited States Engi- neering Corps, that $10,000 had been assigned to his order for use in main- taing the levees of his district. sReports from the levees to the south are not encouraging, From Helena to Belief, Ark., the levees cannot pos¬ sibly stand, it is asserted, and from there to Modoc, a distance of thirty- six miles, there is grave danger. In fact, the report from Modoc is that they cannot hold the levee. Rescue Steamers at Work. The work of rescuing the carried people in the flooded district is being on night and day, and Thursday morning half a dozen steamers reached Mem¬ phis with over 1,000 refugees. The steamboat men tell some harrowing stories of suffering and death. One woman who was rescued held in her arms a dead infant that had perished from cold and hunger. Another family of four, when res¬ cued related that two small children were drowned in sight of their helpless parents. and in the Islands Nos. 40, 37, 36 34 Mississippi river are completely sub¬ merged, and the inhabitants, to the number of about six hundred, have abandoned their homes. BLOCKADE TO BEGIN, Greece Will Be Forced to Withdraxv Her Warships. A dispa.ch received at Rome, Italy, Thursday from Canea announces that the blockade of the Island of Crete by the fleets of the powers will begin on Sunday morning and that a notifica¬ tion to this affect will be addressed to the governments at Athens and Con¬ stantinople. It is further stated that the powers will also communicate the steps taken to the government of the neutral states. The limits of the blockade will be between longitudes 23.24 and 26.30 east and latitude 25.48 and 34.25 north. The blockade will be general against Greek vessels, but other ships will be allowed to land goods, pro¬ vided they are not destined for the Greek troops or for the interior of the island. RUSSIA FORW ARDS TROOPS. Intended the Oe- The officials of the Russian embassy at Constantinople have notified the Turkish government to the effect that a Russian transport, having on board troops intended to form 'occupation the contingent of Russia for the of the island of Crete, according to program drawn up by the admirals, will shortly pass through the Dardanelles. The embassies of the other powers have not raised any objections to this proceeding, although by the treaty the straits are closed to the warships of the foreign nations. Large numbers of the Greek army, the reserve men and other volunteers are leaving for Athens. RANSOM’S SUCCESSOR. Clayton, of Arkansan, Get* the Plum. Other Nominations by the President.

The Senate Turtles Work Left Over from tABt Congress. A largo number of bills, most of them survivors of the last congress, ■were introduced in the seuate Thurs¬ day and referred. Correspondence of the German gov¬ ernment relating to insurance compa¬ nies was taken up and referred. The constitutional amendment for the popular election of United States senators was reintroduced by Mr. Tur- pie, democrat, of Indiana, who an¬ nounced bis purpose to address the senate upon it Monday.

Advices from Canea state that the Austrian gunboat Sebenico has fired upon and sunk, near Candia, a Greek vessel loaded with provisions and mu¬ nitions of war intended for the Greek forces in Crete. It appears that the Sebenieo, while watching the Greek ship, was fired upon by a party of insurgents. To this the Austrian warship replied by sink¬ ing the Greek craft and driving off the insurgents. be¬ It is feared that when this news comes generally known in Athens it will serve to greatly irritate the popu¬ lace and may have influence in precipi¬ tating the crisis which the powers are striving in every way possible to avert. COMPLICATIONS IN HAWAII. Customs Authorities Stops the Landing of Japanese Laborers. The following advices from Honolulu were brought by the steamer Australia which reached San Francisco Thurs¬ day: anticipated here Serious trouble is over the refusal of the customs author¬ ities to permit the landing of 537 Japanese laborers brought here recent¬ ly by the Kobe Immigration Company’s steamer Shinshu Marau.

AGAINST FIGHT PICTURES. The Massachusetts Legislature May Bar KinetoR«ope Exhibitions. Representative Sanderson, of Lynn, introduced » petition in the Massa¬ chusetts house of representatives Fri¬ day afternoon, which proposes legisla¬ tion to prevent any exhibition in the state of Massachusetts of the Corbett- Fitzsimmons mill at Carson City, through the agency of the kinetoseope. The petition has already been signed by the majority of the leaders. TARIFF PROGRAM NOT SATISFAC¬ TORY TO DEMOCRATS. NEW RULES CAUSE J RUMPUS. Republicans Determined to Pass Tariff Bill Without Delay and Outline the Program Therefor. A Washington dispatch says: The republicans of the house have cleared the decks for the great tariff fight. There was a preliminary skirmish Friday in the fight over the rule pro¬ viding the manner of the consideration of the tariff hill, which indicates the treatment which the measure itself will receive, hut the rule was adopted by a strict party vote. The democrats were formed into a compact by body by the program adopted the republicans. Party lines were at once drawn and democrats rallied as one man against the tariff. The debate brought out the fact that the democrats stood ready to forget all other questions, for the pres¬ ent at least, and unite on the tariff as the great issue. The administration program is be¬ ing followed to the letter. The rule admits of comparatively little debate considering the magnitude of the meas¬ ure and eliminates even chance for amendment. While on its face it seems to give opportunity for the consideration of amendments proposed by individual members, that provision is rendered a nullity by the rule which gives amend¬ ments proposed by the committee the right of way at all times. The rules of the house are absolutely superceded by this special rule, which gives the committee the power to force the consideration of its amendments and its amendments alone, no matter what may be pending. Mr. Bailey, of Texas, set forth the democratic position in his short speech against that rule. He declared it his belief that the sooner the republican program was put into legislation the better it would be for the demo¬ cratic party, for that much sooner would the futility of the proposition that prosperity can be brought about by taxing the people be demonstrated. He protested against the arbitrary action of the majority as embodied in this rule, but declared the democracy was filling to abide the test of the tariff bill os a prosperity restorer. Speaking for the minority, Mr. Bai- ly said: ‘‘The passage of the bill will not be antagonized by filibustering opposition. Knowing that we cannot prevent its passage, we feel it to be the best policy, from our standpoint, that you should pass it speedily. If it shall accomplish what you claim for it, the president should not be de¬ prived of the benefits that are to flow from it. If it should not prove to be what is anticipated for it, the sooner it will be repealed and the people re¬ lieved of its unjust exactions. “I never was more confident of any event of the future than I am that this bill shall demonstrate the futility of the pretenses on which it is based, and I firmly believe that you won’t live long enough to get a patient bear¬ ing from the people on the absurd position that you can make them perous by taxing them. (Applause.) “We challenge you to pass the bill because nothing can more prove to the people that you are worthy of the trust now reposed you.” (Applause.) HEAVY WIND STORM Does Considerable Damage in Texas Friday Night. A heavy wind storm, which in some places assumed the appearance of a cyclone, passed over a part of Texas Friday night. At Plano the gale leveled the sheds of the Cotton Belt and Central road, blew over freight cars and unroofed several residences. A number of per¬ sons were injured at Plano, but none were killed. Considerable damage was done by the storm near Itasca and Hutchinson. Telegraph aud telophone wires are prostrated and it is difficult to learn the extent of the damage. The worst damage reported so far occurred at Denton, where over one hundred houses were struck by the storm and all more or less damaged. AWAITS GOVERNOR’S APPROVAL. Tennessee Cojistitutional Bill Has Passed Both Houses of Legislature. Both houses of the Tennessee legis¬ lature adopted, Friday, the report of the conference committee on the con- R titutional convention bills, and those measures now goto the governor for hi( . approval. ^s agreed on> this question will be TO t e( j on the first Tuesday in August if a convention is called ninety-nine delegates not less than twenty-seven y ears c f a ge will be elected the first Xti e gday in October, election officers to serve -without pay.

Morgan was renominated for secretary of state, receiving 56 votes to 32 for John W. Morton. Edward B. Craig was renominated for treasurer by ac- clamation. FLOODS’ FURY UNABATED. Stories of Death and 1)1.aster From Raging Waters Still Colne. Advices from M-unpins state that a half-inch rise in the Mississippi proba- means the devastation of property and ably a loss of life uuequaled in the flood history of that section. The rise is threatened because of continued rains. Seventeen persons are reported drowned fifty miles below Caruthers- ville, Mo. A stretch of country over 100 miles long from a point of seventy miles north of Memphis to a point 50 miles south of the Tennessee metropo¬ lis is submerged in plaoes to a depth of ten feet. The fertile valleys of Tennessee and Arkansas are completely inundated and many lives have been lost and stock drowned, fencing and dwellings swept away, inhabitants des¬ titute and homeless, and left to starve or drown by the remorselessly rising tide. Eeports from tributary streams show rains and rapidly rising rivers, floods which will soon be emptied into the Mississippi, adding to the danger when burled against the already weakened levees. The levees are patrolled hourly by armed and desperate men, provided with sand bags to strengthen weak places or to close threatened crevices, and rifles with which to shoot down any miscreant who. would venture to cut the embankment and allow the waters on his plantation to find vent into the lowlands of his neighbor. nature The floods now partake of the of a deluge. As far as the eye can see nothing but water meets the gaze. MANY LIVES LOST. Filter Reports from Ark an s as ‘ Slio'vv Num¬ erous Brownings. Dispatches from Gavan,. Ark., state that for many miles the country is flooded, and the water is- up to the Iron Mountain tracks. Hundreds of section hands are striving to- keep it back with dirt bags. At every station the negroes- are gathering, waiting to be taken away. Many get on the trains and are carried without pay. The list of fatalities is said to be long and probably never willibe known. A mountain of household goods is piled up at every railroad station. Whites and negroes beg for help from every train crew. Houses along the road- are sub¬ merged to roofs, and cattle standing in the fields with only their heads above water. Many corpses of hogs and cows are washed up by the water. BRAINED HIS CHILDREN Horrible Deed of an Old Genfedbrate Veteran. Wright Smith, a farmer living: near Harlem, in Columbia county;. Ga., murdered two of his children: and then killed himself. He brained the little ones with his crutch and committed suioide by shoot¬ ing himself through the head. Smith went to Thomson Thursday and drew his pension, he having serv¬ ed on the confederate side during the late war. He returned home in the afternoon in the best of spirits.. He had been in the house but a few min¬ utes when a disturbance arose between he and his wife. Bather than fuss with her, he gathered his crutch and walked out to the corn- crib- to get corn to feed his pigs,as was Ms evening custom, In the crib were his two boys, five and three years old.. The little fellows were enjoying .heir sport in the crib, and upon the sight of their father they ran to him with great glee.. Seizing blow his crutch he dealt each of them a over the head, knocking their brains out. They fell side by side in a, pile of shucks, dead. W ILL FORM A FEDERAL UNION. Transvaal ancl ©rang® Free Staler to Work Together. It is stated at Cape Town, Africa, on what is regarded as good authority that as a result of the visit of Presi¬ dent Kruger of the Transvaal, to Presi¬ dent Steyn,. of the Orange Free State, a federal union of the republics has been decided upon. Such union is regarded here with much concern, as it would seriously complicate the situation. The result of such a union would not only open the whole question as to the position of the Transvaal republio, in & political sense, in south African affairs, but would probably give Pres¬ ident Kruger greator strength. PINGREE LOSES FOR ONCE. Supreme Court Decides Against Him an Mayor of Detroit. A Detroit, Mich., dispatch says: For the first time in his political ca¬ reer, Hazen S. Pingree has received a terrible jolt. The supreme court has declared that he was no longer mayor of Detroit and ordered that his suo- oessor be chosen at the regular election on April 5th next. The court held that Pingree’s elec¬ tion to the office of governor vacated the office of mayor. The fact is, that his gubernatorial job has not come up to its occupant’s expectations. The legislature has failed to pass his pet bills. CANADIAN ELECTIONS. The Liberal Candidate Returned to the Houbu of Common*.
