HOW HE BROKE A RECORD.
Took Last Jump from Forgotten Rub
ber Home Plate.
Billy Powell, greatest hurdler the
west has produced, was referring to
his college days on the Berkeley
track.
"There were five in the race. I
drew the extreme outside lane,
which gave me a had finish stretch.
But I got a peach of a start, swept
the curve like a yacht on her beam
ends and came down the straight
taking the jumps in beautiful style.
I felt I had a varsity record in me
at that clip, and 1 threw all my
power into the final strides. Spring
ing for the ninth hurdle I fairly
flew through the air, and, dashing
to the finish, broke the tape, the
world's record for the low hurdles,
for the 220-dash, and for the run
ning broad jump, the time being
21 flat, and my last jump over two
hurdles at once, clearing 43 feet and
some inches.
"WhewI” exclaimed Olle Snedigar,
"why weren't the records ever al
lowed?”
"Well,” continued Powell, "when
they went to measure that leap,
Col. Edwards started to shove his
cane in. to Indicate my foremost spike
mark, and the stick jumped out of his
hand. They scraped the short grass
eway and found a solid rubber home
plate imbedded where the varsity bat
tery used to practice.”—San Francisco
Chronicle.

Pure White Lead, good paint that

THE PEACE CONFERENCE
Hague Meeting Will Probably follow
Lines of Former Meeting.
The Hague, June.—The general
plan of the proceedings at the second
peace conference probably will follow
closely the procedure of the first con
gress held in 1899. Practically noth
ing has been worked out in advance.
The government here realizing that
the representatives of the forty-six
powers who will assemble here June
15, must be complete masters of the
situation, has refrained from in any
way attempting to control or ariange
the program or method of proceedure.
It simply offers its hospitality to the
conference. The same is true of Rus
sia. Although the czar was the Alad
din who rubbed the lamb and sum
moned the Genii once called into be
ing they are beyond his control. The
arrangement up to the present time,
therefore simply cover the opening
session, when Mr. Nelidoff, the Rus
sian ambassador to France, will call
the conference to order and make an
address extending his sovereign's
greetings to the delegates. Dr. Jonk
heer D. A. \V. Van Tets Van Coudrain,
the Dutch minister for foreign affairs,
will reply in an address of welcome
on behalf of Queen Wilhelmina. There
after it will remain for the conference
to decide how it will proceed.
It is safe to assume, however, that
the general line of proceedure of the
former conference will be duplicated.
The first thing in order will be the ap
pointment of committees to consider
the various subjects inscribed upon
the Russian program. These will hard
ly number more than five. Unless the
question of the reduction or limita
tion of armament is injected into the
proceedings at the outset, in which
event the main struggle may be at.
once precipitated, the plenary body
probably will not meet again for ten
days or a fortnight in order that the
committees have an opportunity to
prepare reports for submission. In
general, it is not expected that the
full conference will meet more than
once a week until the work of the
committees justifies the more frequent
sessions. The opening session, it is
expected, will be public to the ex
tent of at least admitting a few dis
tinguished guests and press represen
tatives, but the sessions of the confer
ence and of the committees will be
secret.
I
Oppose Cotton Speculation.
Vienna, June.—The International
Cotton Congress came to an end May
29. The attitude of the congress from
the standpoint of America, was on the
whole favorable. The most important
thing the congress did was to reach
and understanding as to how cotton
could be ginned, baled and delivered.
An interesting feature was the fact
that both growers and spinners were
united in opposition to speculation in
cotton futures and in this connection
a resolution was passed in favor of the
compression of the cotton at the gin
neries or at the point or production.
In the matter of the question of tare,
the congress adopted a resolution es
tablishing a maximum allowance of
tare at 2 pounds per bale, instead of
the six per cent of the gross weight
of I he cotton as is now the custom.
Tiiis arrangement works in favor of
the American growers.
Refuse Injunction.
Springfield. 111., June.—So far as the
Appellate Court of the Third District
of Illinois is concerned, the legality of
the union of the Presbyterian and the
Cumberland Presbyterian, churches is
sustained. That court handed down a
decision Saturday affirming the decis
ion of the Circuit Court of Macon coun
ty, which had refused to issue an in
junction filed ! y Joseph Russell and
other members of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church to restrain J. B.
Hail and other commissioners of the
Presbyterian church from perfecting
the union of the two churches. The
Appellate Court holds that the civil
courts have no power or authority to
prevent by injunction the union of the
two bodi-m that the question is one
for ecclesiastical coirts to determine,
Claims Lands Were Stolen.
Torreon, Mex., June.—Representing
three tribes of North American Indians
on reservations in Oklahoma, i-iook
Que Hean, a full-blood has been here
several days negotiating for the pur
chase of the Magney Macienda, one
of the largest and richest in this dis
trict. The deal has however fallen
through and Look Clue Hean, a disap
pointed Indian, has started to return
to his reservation. While here he was
loud in his denunciation of the United
States government charging that it
has stolen the lands of his people,
who he raid are now so cramped in
that they can do nothing.
Fell 700 Feet.
Ronr, June—A tragic incident took
place Sunday during a review of the
troops by King Victor Emmanuel and
Queen Helena. As » pan of the man
I euver n id. K ry ballon was sent up
' to a height of 700 feet, with Capt.
Uiliveli in the ear. A storm which
had been coming up burst suddenly,
and the thousands of spectators wore
horrified to see a flash of lightning
mike the car bug and ruin it. Crowds
• of persons rushed in the direction
where the ballon had fallen and Capt.
Uiliveli died later.
A Sad Mistake.
In my father's native village lives
Mr. S., a very deaf old mar.. During
the summer months he lets his spare
rooms to some of the many pleasure
seekers who frequent the place, says
a Boston Herald writer, and one day
last summer, while Mr. S. was in his
garden, a young man of the village
chanced by, and the following conver
sation took place:
“Good morning, Mr. 3.”
“Mawnin’.”
“You've got your house full of board
ers this summer.”
Mr. S. was picking potato bugs off
from his plants, but he managed to
stop long enough to answer, “Yes.”
“Some nice looking young ladies
among them,” continued the young
man.
Mr. S. stood tip and eyed the pota
toes critically, then answered:
“Well, they'd ought to look purtv
good. I just picked two quarts of
bugs off ’em.”
SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES.
Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair
All Came Out—Cured in Three
Weeks by Cuticura.
“After having the measles my whole
head and neck were covered with scaly
sores about as large as a penny. They
were just as thick as they could be.
My hair all came out. I let the trou
ble run along, taking the doctor's blood
remedies and rubbing on salve, but it
did not seem to get any better. It
stayed that way for about six months:
then I got a set of the Cuticura Rem
edies, and in about a week I noticed
a big difference, and in three weeks
it was well entirely and I have not had
the trouble any more, and as this was
seven years ago, I consider myself
cured. Mrs. Henry Porter, Albion,
Neb., Aug. 25, 1906.”
Monopolizing Them.
Miss Passay—Many young girls
nowadays are positively awful. The
idea of one being engaged to two
young min at the same time. It's sim
ply shameful!
Miss Pert (maliciously)—And it's
aggravating, too, isn't it?

fever later on by cleansing your sys
tem now of its accumulation of impur
ities. Simmon’s Sarsaparilla will do
it. It makes fine blood, fine appetite,
great strength and grand ambition.

MOTHERHOOD
The first requisite of a good
mother is good health, and the ex
perience of maternity should not be
approaehed without careful physical
preparation, as a woman who is in
good physical condition transmits to
her children the blessings of a good
constitution.
rreparation for healthy mater
nity is accomplished by Lydia E.
Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound,
which is made from native roots and
herbs, more successfully than by any
other medicine because it gives tone
and strength to the entire feminine
organism, curing displacements, ul
ceration and inflammation, and the
result is less suffering and more children healthy at birth
than thirty years
