HOOKER, BEAVER, CO., OKLA.
Money Carries Poison.
Notwithstanding the strong popular
prejudice against tainted money, It Is
notfcgg that most persons accept It
vheu.Jt ia offered, rather than seem
/•rude. It Is the same way with green-
backsfand coin which are objectiona-
ble by reason of unpleasantness—why
nojt (say frankly, dirt?—acquired
through long service. Cash In such a
condition, whether pnper or metal,
mAy be obviously filthy, and even dis-
agreeable to the sensp of smell, but It
Is never refused. Once 1 heard a man
sa>: "I will take all the microbes that
come with a dollar bill, no matter how
many." This is undoubtedly the way
inost folks feel about the matter, re-
marks Richard Henter in Technical
World Magazine. Hut undeniably tho
microbes in question are frequently
legion. And, obviouBly, the older a
banknote or treasury certificate hap-
pens to be, the greater the number o.
germs it carries. Neither paper nor
any kind of metal Is food for mlcrobec.
Thus It may be considered that a note
fresh from the treasury or a coin new
from the mint is practically sterile—
that Is to aay. germ-free. But as soon
as money of either kind begins to pass
from hand to hand it acouires dirt and
thus becomes a breeding ground for ft
great variety of germs, some of which
are liable to be those of disease. An
exact study of the subject has been
made recently by the director of the
research laboratory of New York, who,
summing up his conclusions In a re-
port, states that, as shown by micro-
scopic examination, an average piece
of paper money, moderately clean,
carries 22,500 bacteria. On an aver-
age dirty bill there will be about 73,000
bacteria. Most bacteria, it should be
understood, are harmless, but many
species are the germs of dangerous
diseases.
THE SIXTIETH C0N6RESS
Our Merchant Marine.
The total merchant tonnage
launched in the United States in the
calendar year 1907, 502,508 gross tons,
has been exceeded in a twelvemonth
but twice in our maritime history, de-
clares the Boston Transcript In the
fiscal years 1854 and 1855 the aggre-
gates were respectively 536,046 and
683,450, the latter figures remaining
still the record. The difference be-
tween now and then is that very little
of our new tonnage is for foreign
trade, whereas 50 years ago American
ships were found on every sea, and
the Stars and Stripes was familiar In
old world ports where it is now a
stranger. Last year but two steamers
of any considerable dimensions were
launched from American yards for for-
eign trade, and these were for a Cuban
service which has the benefits of the
postal subsidy. Without Bome such
measure of federal assistance there is
no inducement for Americans to build
steamers to "go foreign."
Tlfe argument advanced against "fe-
male education" from tho standpoint
of higher womanly, feminine and lady
like education in Godfrey, 111., Is un
answerable from one standpoint. It Is
undeniable that horses, cows and pigs
are females. But they are also males.
They are no more objectionable zoo-
logically on either account than hu
man males and females are on the
Bame account. Several years ago
higher education in New York re-
solved that ladies ought not to t be
classed with "cook ladies." Accord-
ingly, the public waiting rooms for
ladies were changed to waiting rooms
for women. In Qodfrey, however, ed-
ucated women are authorized to be
ladies and feminine, provided they
avoid being females as far as possible.
This shows that, though it has cut
loose from jsoology, the ethical view-
point of Godfrey is ascending toward
'the heights.
As a St. Louis sociologist states that
; among friends and brethren, as we all
. ought to be, no thanks are needed for
past favors, we may owe no thanks
, to John Smith of New York now that
, he Is no longer needed. But still, as
f the dictionary explains that thanks
' are "thinks" for the past with a prom-
• ise of future thought implied, there Is
: nothing in the dictionary to prevent
unlimited thanks to John Smith.
! Though Japan has cut down the ap-
propriation for its army and navy It
will still spend enough on those
weapons of offense and defense to

f hysterical white persons need a yellow

ment the appropriation of $1,873. to
imy Senator J. H. Bankhead for his

nated. The house managers receded
regarding the appropriation of $60,000
for conducting the trial of the Hyde,
Dlmond, Benson, Schneider land con-
spiracy trial In the District of Colum-

the rf.'i rv< s of national banks, that
stiVJuci being brought up by Senator
llayner who reverted to a controversy

rency bill was under consideration.

ject for discussion during a couple of
hours, Senator Clay and others secur-

paratively smooth sailing until on
points of order by Mr. Macon, of Ar-
kansas, the proposed increases In sal-
aries of the assistant secretaries of
the several departments were stricken
out. Mr. Maeon explained his action by
saying that an appropriation bill was
not the place for such legislation.

ing the change of law effected by the

More Brutal Than Bull Fights.

sparring exhibitions as an attract'on
during the approaching carnival, for
which great preparations are being
made and for which the city council

nounces pugilism as more brutal than
bull fights and as repugnant to the
Cuban sense of decency.

Collector Hill of the port of Philadel-
phia for the month of January, show
an Increase of $4,000,000 over those

CHEERED THE BATTLESHIPS
People of Chile Gave tne Fleet a
Rousing Reception.
President Montt Received the Ships as
They Passed Through Valparaiso
Harbor—Exchanged 8alutes.
Valparaiso.—The great American
fleet of 16 battleships passed Val-
paraiso Friday afternoon and con-
tinued on its voyage northward for
Callao, Peru, the next stopping place.
An Valparaiso and thousands of per-
sons from every city in Chile wit-
nessed the passing of the fleet. Pres-
ident Montt and the other high of-
ficials of the republic came out from
shore to greet tho battleships and al-
most the entire Chilean navy ex-
changed salutes with them as they
swung around Curaumilla Point and
into Valparaiso bay in single ale, head-
ed by the Chilean cruiser t'hacabuco
and five Chilean torpedo boat destroy-
ers.
Turning sharp around Curaumilla
Point at ten minutes after 2 o'clock
Friday afternoon the Chacabuco and
the five Chilean destroyers led the
Connecticut and her 15 sister ships
Into the view of the thousands who
had awaited their appearance since
dawn. The day was perfect and the
spectacle of the fleet stretched in a
great semi-circle as seen from the
high hills around the bay was magni-
ficent.
President Montt and other Chilean
officials embarked on the training ship
General Baquedano and took a posi-
tion well out in the harbor. Around
the Baquedano the fleet swung at a
speed of four knots, firing the presi-
dential salute as they passed in re-
view. It was one hour from the time
the head of the fleet entered the bay
until the last vessel had passed the
president's ship nnd turned toward
the open sea.
Then the Baquedano lifted anchor
and escorted the fleet well out of the
bay and on Its way to the north. It
was a view such as has never before
been seen in Valparaiso bay, and one
that will long be remembered by the
people of Chile who came miles to see
It.
MORE RAILROAD TRAFFIC.
Railroad Officials Say There is Marked
Improvement During the Past
Two Weeks.
Cleveland, Ohio—Railroad officials
in this city state that there has been

cember. It is said that during the past
two or three weeks there has been a
steady increase In the amount of ton-
nage moved daily. Passenger officials
of both the New York Central and
Pennsylvania lines Bay that on the
whofe the number of passengers now
being carried equals, if It does not
exceed, the number carried during the
same time last year. There had been

ger buisness during the past week.
This Is attributed largely to western
buyers going to New York to purchase
spring and summer stock.

sissippi towns were practically demol-
ished by a tornado Friday. Reports

very small, being merely a handful of
scattered dwellings. The tornado

ROBBED A MISSOURI BARK.
Bandits at Rich Hill Dynamited Safe,
Damaged Building and Es-
caped With $20,000.
Rich Hill, Mo.—Twenty thousand
dollars was secured by robbers e^rly
Wednesday morning from the Farmers
and Manufacturers' bank here. The
robbery, as far as can bo learned, was
committed by three men who escaped.
They wrecked the safe, vault and dam-
aged the building badly with dynamite.
The bank carried insurance for *^o,-
000.
J. W. Jameson, cashier, gave this
story of the robbery. It was commit-
ted alpout 12:30 Wednesday mornlug.
There were two or three explosions.
The first evidently was sufficient to
open the vault and safe. The safe
contained $23,000, $20,000 In currency,
$5,000 in gold and $3,000 in silver.
They took all but the silver and when
citizens who were attracted to the
scene by the first explosion arrived,
the men were then in the act of mak-
ing their escape. A moment later
there was a second explosion, more se-
vere than the first. This demolished
the safe and vault and caused $2,000
damage to the building. The second
explosion seems to have been set off
by the robbers to cover their escape.
The robbers made toward the railroad
tracks and are believed to have es-
caped on a handcar. They got away
before any concerted move to follow
them could be made and it Is not even
known in what direction they went.
Jefferson City, Mo.—Gov. Folk Wed-
nesday offered a reward of $300 each
for the capture of the men who robbed
the Farmers and Manufacturers' bank
at Rich Hill early Wednesday. Like-
wise the governor offered a reward of
$400 each for the capture of the five
men who robbed the bank at Willard
Tuesday morning. The Rich Hill bank
was looted of over $20,000 and the Wil-
lard bank of $10,000.

PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. I.
Dr. Hartman is now offering Peruna to the public as a regular pharmaceu-
tical product. It is just as ethical as any compound put np for the medical
profession. No straining of medical ethics oan find any fault with it. THE
PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the

As He Understood It.
A youngster who has been living
