of appeals today sustained the right of
Attorney General Jackson to attack
in the name of the people the litle of
George B. McCIellan as mayor of New
York City in behalf of William R.
Hearst. The Hearst cause has now
won in all courts. The court is unani-
mous and no opinion is given.
Madrid, May 10.—Queen Victoria
gave birth today to a son. State and
court dignitaries whose presence is re-
quired at the birth of a royal infant
were assembled in the queen's apart-
ments, all wearing full uniforms and
decorations. The physicians dnring
the night announced that the birth
was soon to take place. The news
quickly spread throughout the capital
and large crowds gathered in front of
the palace. When the final news of
the birth was made public there were
scenes of great public rejoicing. The
son born today will bear the title of
"Prince of tlfe Austrias."
It has been decided to name the hoy
Alfonso.
Akron, Ohio, May 10.—Senator Dick
would not follow in the footsteps of
George B. Cox and Walter Brown, to
' day, in declaring for Taft for the
presidential nomination and Foraker
for senator, but standing on his posi-
tion as chairman of the state execu-
tive committee, said that it. would not
be becoming for hi mto take any part
by expressing any preference.
As a final step in his plan to bring
about harmony to the state municipal
tickets next fall and prevent the presi-
dential primaries this year, ne ex-
presses a preference for party suc-
cess to the aggrandizment of his po
litical friend Foraker at. the expense
of the party.
' Detroit, Mich., May 13.—The mag
nificent new passenger steamer City
of Cleveland, under construction at
i lie plant of the Detroit Shipbuildin
company for the Detroit and Cleve-
land Navigation company, was swept
by lire early today and is a total loss
except for the hull and machinery.
How much they are damaged can not
be determined until the hull is pumped
out. The loss, which falls upon the
Detroit Shipbuilding company,
branch of the Anierica.ii Shipbuildin
company, is about seven hundred
thousand dollars. The flames broke
out in a mysterious manner and in
cendiarism is suspected. The Ctiy of
Cleveland was nearly finished, it
was intended to be the finest side
wheel steamer on fresh water. The
interior wood work was unusually
beautiful and lavish.

Boise, Idaho, May 13.—The task of
selecting a jury was resumed today in
the case of William D. Haywood and
will be completed within four or five
days according to the judgment of op
posing counsel. Eleven men will be
in the box this afternoon. None of
them has been finally accepted by
both sides, however, although three
have so qualified themselves to serve
that only peremptory challenges can
remove them. The new venire shows
seventy-five farmers or ranchmen, the
remainder being persons of business
many of them prominent. There
growing impatience to hear the open
ing address of the prosecution which
probably will be delivered by James
1^. Hawley, leading counsel for the
prosecution. Just how far the state',
attorney will go in outlining the case
they hope to prove against Haywood
is problematical.
* Austin, Texas, May 13.—Two hun
dred delegates representing local la
bor organizations throughout th
state were present today at the open
ing of the tenth annual convention of
the Texas Federation of Labor. The
Farmers' Union and the American
Federation of Labor had fraternal rep
resentatives on hand.
The reports of President. Edwin
Cunningham and of Secretary-Treas-
urer F. N. Graves show a gratifying
condition of affairs. Great pvogress
was made during the year in increas-
ing the membership and strengthen-
ing the finances. The report of the
legislative committee shows that ev-
ery bill submitted by the federation
to the legislature as a perferre.i meas-
ure passed that body and became law,
including the mine and factory in-
pection bill, full crew bill for rail-
ways, child labor bill, and the uniform
extbook measure.
THE SEARCHLIGHT
Chicago, 111., May 13.—Wheat took
a tremendous jump todayt the initial
prices showing a gain in the leading
options of one and a quarter to eitht
cents, the latter advance being on De-
cember delivery. The opening was
the wildest and most exciting scene
for years and the predictions made
Saturday that "dollar wheat'' would
soon be a realitv were brought, about
within a few calls after the opening,
September selling at one dollar and a
half cent and December at a dollar
three. Trading was too big and too
broad to follow exactly, but every
commission house was stacked up
with buying orders which were to
take wheat at the market price. Later
September sold at ninety six; Decem-
ber ninety-nine. May was nominal at
ninety-six and an eighth. The feeling
in the country that the winter wheat
crop has been badly hurt was even
stronger than on Saturday and the de-
mand came from all parts of the Uni-
ted States.
St. Petersburg, May 11.—It is an-
nounced that the wedding of Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, second
cousin of Emperor Nicholas, and Prin-
cess Anastasia of Montenegro, divorc-
ed wife of Grand Duke George of
Leuchenberg, will take place in the
Crimea tomorrow.
The Grand Duke Nicholas just now
is one of the leading men of Russia.
He is commander-in-chief of all the
armed forces comprised within the
military district of St. Petersburg
and, as such, is responsible for the
safety of the Czar and his family. He
is recognized as the foremost cavalry
leader of Russia, if not of Buro^e, and
has for many years held the office of
inspector general of the cavalry of
Russia. On several accasions during
the war with Japan the Czar was
urged to appoint him to the supreme
command of the troops in Manchuria,
in the place of Kuropatkin.
The Grand Duke is the eldest son
of the profligate and grossly dishonest
Prince of the same name who com-
manded the Russian forces in the
Balkans in the last war with Tur-
key. Dismissed and banished from
court, on the accession to the throne
of his nephew Alexander III., ho died
in obscurity and neglect, leaving noth-
ing but debts, all the money "'aat had
passed through his lingers having
been lavished upon his favorites.
San Luis Obispo, May 13.—The lat-
er details of the wreck of the Shriu-
ers' special show that the number of
dead is thirty-six instead of twenty-
five and that the injured number over
a score.
The disaster was due to a defective
switch, which derailed the swiftly
moving train, smashing the coaches
into kindling wood, killing almost
thirty persons instantly and injuring
a like number. At the time of the
accident, it has developed, the train
was going at a very high rate of
speed, and the big locomotive, the
baggage car and the dining car were
heaped into one large mass or
wreckage.
Nearly every one of those who
were in the dinin# car at the time
of tlie wreck were instantly killed
The scenes immdiately following the
wreck were fearful. A number were
planned eoshdrlm shrdlm shrdnifwm
pinned among the wreckage and
wre roasted alive as the wreckage
at once took fire.
Mrs. Fred Grummong, of Biagham-
ton, was pinned down' under the
wreckage. She seized the foot of a
passing man and shouted:
not let you lose until you let me out."
The steam from the engine then en-
veloped her and she was terribly i
burned before she could be rescued.
Mrs. William F. Essick, of Reading,
was so badly burned by the steam
that she died within a few minutes
of being taken from the wreckage, ,
When women attendants helped to
remove some of her clothing her \
flesh fell from the bones.
It was stated by one of the sur-
vivors that the wrecking train bear-
ing the dead and lesser wounded
went on to a sideing at a lonely spot,
while returning to Santa Barbara,
and allowed four belated Shriner
trains to pass. None of the passen-
gers of these trains knew what had
happened.

A Sure (lire For C holera.
Here is a sure cure for cholera: Mix
a half pound of smoking tobacco in
dry ground feed, moisten a little and
then feed. This will be sufficient for
fifty fowls. We have had cases so
bad that it was necessary to put the
feed down their throats, but It cured
them, says a writer in Farm Journal,
Philadelphia. Feed twice a week or
oftener If necessary.
Correct Diet and Attention to Laws of
H««lth Ward Off Disease.
Dr. Robert Bell, the distinguished
scientist and surgeon of London, pro-
nounces cancer absolutely preventable.
He Is considered to be one of the great
cancer experts of the world. He does
not think mneh of trypsin as a cure.
Cancer, he says. Is not a disease, so
far as he can Judge, due to any one
cause, but to a chain of causes and
effects made up of many links, each of
which requires special attention. He
believes that if people will keep their
pancreas gland In order there will be
no cancer. The pancreas is supple-
mentary to the stomach and the sali-
vary glands. Nature lias placed the
pancreas as a sentinel to watch over
the stomach and see that It is regular-
ly cleared of Its contents. This it will
succeed In accomplishing provided the
food has not been in excess of the re-
quirements of the body and Is of such
a character as can be efficiently dealt
with by the digestive organs.
If the food Is in excess in quantity
or contains too much albuminous ma
ferial in an Indigestible form, such as
butchers' meat (red meat—steaki, tlieu
that part of the food not dealt with by
the digestive fluids will decompose In
the body, undergoing noxious fermenta-
tion. This causes the body to be self
poisoned.
This is the first step In cancer in the
case of everybody and especially so
where there Is a predisposition to the
disease. The blood stream becomes
vitiated and tlie nervous system baud!
capped. The result Is a departure from
the healthy to a morbid condition of
cell life in various parts of the body.
The only rational way to cure can
j eer. Dr. Bell says. Is to find some agent
which will so Increase the vigor of the
' normal cells as to enable them to sub-
due the abnormal or cancerous cells.
But by far the most desirable object to
attain is the prevention <>f cancer,
which he holds is within the grasp of
any oue who will obey Implicitly those
laws which nature has explicitly for-
mulated for human guidance. It is on
the restoration of the functional activ
lty of the thyroid gland, together with
a Judicious diet, abundance of fresh
air and carefully regulated habits, that
the recovery and maintenance *>f v is?
orous and healthy cell life depend.
"That the thyroid," says Dr. Hell,
"has an Important relationship to the
incidence of cancer is borne out by the
fact that In cancer subjects it is inva
rlably found to be more or less ntro
pilled" wasted. Hence It is necessary
to give a cancer patient the extract of
the thyroid gland or some other sub
stance which will rejuvenate the tin
rold. And, as cancer causes great loss
of weight, the stomach and sallvarj
glands must also be restored to a
healthy »tut»
Fannie Woods' Hen Talk.
Fannie Woods says in the April Farm
Journal:
The poultry yard should be graded
an<l ditched so that there will be no
puddles of water for poultry to wade
through.
(Jive the little brooder chicks a chance
to get to the ground on sunny after
noons. They like to pick at the young
blades of grass and scratch and hunt.
It is necessary to keep the April
hatched chicks confined a good deal on
account of unfavorable weather, but
they must have an occasWmal outing
to keep them thrifty and lively, as
healthy chicks should be.
