CnicAGO, 111., March 21. Major General George Crook, U. S. A., in command of the division of the Missouri, died at the Grand Pacific hotel at 7:15 o'clock this morning of heart disease. There had not been the slightest warning that General Crook was not perfectly well. He was at army headquarters all day yesterday and last night at the hotel appeared to be in his usual good health. lie got up ns usual this morning at 7 o'clock and while dressing suddenly f-aid to his wife: "1 can't breathe." Mrs. Crook helped him to a sofa and a doctor was at once summoned but before he could reached the room General Crook was dead. The general has been in command of the, department of the Missouri for several years, succeeding General fkrholield. Mr. John Drake, proprietor of the Grand Pacific and an intimate friend of General Crook, made the following ttatement to an Associated Press reporter: General Crook arose shortly before 7 o clock this morning apparently in his usual health, and in accordance with his custom began exercising with the weights nnd pulleys connected with an apparatus for the purpose which he kept in his room. After exercising for a few minutes he Ptopped and laid down upon a lounge. In a few minutes he adieu out to his wife: "Oh, Mary, Mary, I need some help, I can't get my breath." Assistance was at once summoned, and Dr. Ilurlbut, who lives near, w:is sent for. Everything that could be done was done, but lie failed to rally and died at 7:15. Mrs. Crook nd"her sister, Mrs. Eeid, were the only members of the famil' present at his lx'd-.idc when he passed away. He had no children. Dr. V. L. Ilurlbutj the physician who was summoned, said: "I arrived at General Crook's bedside only three or four minutes before death supervened. He was buffering from irregular action of the heart and his lungs or chest seemed to be tilled up. We did what we could for him in the way of hot applications with sina pisms, hot bags to his feet, etc., but he was in articulo mortis when I arrived aud died without ralljing. It appeared to be a case of heart failure, but I could not be positive nlxnit that as I had never been called to attend him before. There may have been some stomach com plications" Major Randall, of General Crook's sUifT, paid: "We have noticed for some time lha General Crook was not in his usual health. He wa a man who never com plained nnd said very little about his suf ferings. At the theater last night I saw that he was not feeling at all well, and asked him if he Mere in jin. lie said: 'No.' but I think that was the beginning of the end. "The arrangements for t he funeral liave Hot been made. General Scholield lias been telegraphed to in regard to the latter mid his wishes will le considered. The 1 urial will probably take place at Oak land. Md . the home of his wife people, though imssibly it may le thought te.t to jnttrthe remains in Arlington national cimeryat Washington.

Adjutant General Williams will, on behalf of the widow, ask a number of promiueut citizens to act as pall bearers. In the mean time the body will lie in state in the parlors of the Grand Pacific hotel, with a body guard of soldiers. Major Ely E. McClellen, attending sur geon, said today: "General Crook under mined his constitution iu his Iudiau cam paigns. As every one knows he was a wonderfully active man. He would stop at nothing and denied himself every pleas ure or comfort. He constantly refused to incumber himself, with things that might conduce to his comfort so that he might move around more quickly. I think the campaign of 1875 was the foundation for his troubles. Then he started out with thirty days' ra tions for his force and -was gone nearly a year, spending a terribly severe winter in the mountains and the western prairies, far awav from the forts and posts. This hard service, together -with the irregular ity of meals and the scarcity of food, re sulted in his stomach troubles, which im mediately affected his heart. I had treated him every day since I have been attached to headquarters in Chicago, and a few weeks ago, I had about concluded that his trouble had been overcome. Last week, however, it returned suddenly. The attack was quite severe, but as he came to me the moment he felt ill there was little difficulty in getting him in good shape again. If his death should have, occurred last week. I should not have been sur prised. He pulled out of the sickness apparently better than before, and his sud den death" was wholly unexpected by me.'' GEXEKAL HAYES MUCH AFFECTED. Fijemoxt, O., March 21. General Hayes leaves for Chicago tomorrow morning to attend the funeral of General Crook. lie was very much affected by the sudden death of his companion and referred to his distinguished service as a brigadier com mander under General McClelland in 1802, as a favorite cavalry commander under Shermad in 1WJ, and again in the Five Forks campaign, as one of Sheridan's cav alry commanders in 1S0O, and as the first commander in the field in the army of West Virginia in the year Ib&i.

MOTHER REDUCTION. Notice Given of a $7.50 Rate from Kan sas City to Colorado. Kansas Citt, Mo., March 21. Since the $10 rate between Kansas City, Pueblo nnd Denver went into effect the Rock Island, it is claimed, has been manipulating the already extremely low rate through the brokers so that the latter are enabled to sell tickets from Kansas City to either of the points named as low as 7.50. This is done, it is said, by that road making the Denver tickets sold at $10 rate good via Pueblo and Pueblo tickets good via Denver. A party going to Denver is furnished with a Pueblo ticket paying therefor 10 and receives a rebate order on a Denver broker for 32.50. This ticket he uses to Denver where he receives 2.50 from the remaining portion from Denver to Pueblo thus making his fare from Kan sas City to Denver $7.50. The same tactics are employed on Pueblo lines making the rate $7.50 alo, the Kock Island pro tecting the limits to suit the brokers. I he Missouri Pacific people say that there is no possible excuse for this action on the part of the Hock Island as it is not neces sary to go through either of these cities to reach the other via their road but is a de liberate scheme to cut the rates through the brokers in the interest of that line. The management of the Missouri Pacific being cognizant of the facts has given notice that on and after Monday, March 2-1, that line will make an open limited rate between Kansas City, Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver of $7.50. dullness and the average price Of stocks, exclusive of the industrial lot. has declined about half a dollar per share. The rail roads are doing a large business, but most stocks are so held and so managed that the public is not invited to invest. The business failures occurring through out the country during the last seven days number 255 as compared with a total of 200 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 249. That sene of extreme -weariness indi cates disordered blood. Ayer's Sarsaparilla purifies it. TO MAKE POLITICAL CAPITAL. WASHINGTON, March 21. Much iuterest has been excited at the postofiice depart ment by the action of Mr. William Dudley Foulke, of Indiana, iu sending out in quiries to presidential postoffices where changes have occurred since March 4, 1SSJ, especially to the postmasters who have been removed. In speaking of the matter today First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson said: "We are receiving letters from new ly appointed postmasters who have been addressed in this way. The inquiries sent out in every instance that I have seen show that the wise has been prejudiced and the changes made assumed to be all wrong. It is evidently an effort to get statements from disappointed ot ficials for political use, and some of the letters show an intention to try and induce the new potmasters to make statements of defense where no defense is needed. The postmasters seem to realize that they have reports to make only to their superior officers. No political capital can be made out of these charges. The president h:is made no removals except for cause, for delinquency in official duty, inefficiency of service or violation of the law. He has refused to make any changes for partisan reasons. Changes made for cause have been on the reports of inspectors showing a demand for a change in the interest of the public service." LARGER THAN EVER.

The prevailing depression in American agriculture is treated by the statistician, J.'R. Dodge, in the March report of the department of ag riculture. The prevalence of low prices is noted, and a feeling of discouragement in rural circles throughout the world is indi cated. It is and has been especially severe in Great Britain, and is the subject of com plaint, discussion and official investigation m Germany, France, Italy and other coun tries. It is present in monarchial and republican countries under diverse circumstances and economic systems. Hut it is less severe here than in other countries. Though prices of im plements, utensils and fabrics are low, the farmer's interest account is unreduced and his mortgage hnrder to lift. The main cause of low prices is referred to in the inex orable law of supply and demand. Corn nnd wheat and other staples are cheap be cause of overproduction. Immigration has increased the population 5,000,000 in ten years. Inter-continental areas have been converted into farms, fiee to natives and foreigners, opening millions of acres to cul tivation. Railroad extension has stimu lated production and overwhelmed the east with western products. WE'LL SUPPOSE A CASE. You are nervous and dyspeptic, your ap petite flags, your slumber is broken or dis turbed by uneasy dreams, or you court the sleepy god in vain. What shall you do? Try an alcoholic excitant to stimulate ap netite. deaded the nerves at bed time with a narcotic? Neither of these. Try Tlostet ter's Stomach Bitters. It will, believe us, be more than a trial. You will continue to use this justly renowned nerve invigorant and stomachic, it is in the exigency sup posed just what is'wanted. It is a health ful stimulus to appetite aud digestion, does not excite, but quiets the brain and nerves, is an excellent diuretic and a speedy reformer of a disordered condition of the liver and bowels. It counteracts a tendency to rheumatism, nullifies the prostrating effects of overwork, mitigates the infirmities of age, and hastens con valescence. Persons exposed to rough weather should use it as a preventive, a.s should also tired students and business men. COLONEL BABY LOGAN. COLnrurs, O., March 21-A military com mission out of the ordinary line of pro motion lias been issued by the aujntant general. S. W. Williams, adjutant of the Fifth infantry, Ohio national guards, writing to Colonel Gibbons, requested that a commission as first lieutenant; be issued to John Alexander Logan, the third, born February 12 last, a grandson of the late Senator Logan. The request; of Colonel Gibbons is that out of regard for the late General Logan and consider ing the great interest of Captain John A. Logan, the second, in the national guard, as well as the little fellows intended fu ture, a commission as first lieutenant in the Logan rifles be issued. The requst was granted and the somission. signed by Governor Campbell and Adjutant Gen eral Hawkins, was forwarded. It dates back to the day John A. Logan to third was born. This makes young Logan the youngest commissioned officer in the world. "In the spring" take Hood's Sarsaparilla. Do not put it off till too late. Sold by all druggists. KILLED BY A PLAYMATE.

"" DAUGHTERS OF EVE. GENEALOGY X3? SLANG"."' road earnings thus far reported for March exceed thoe of any previous year. Bank clearings at New York show a gain over last year of &i per cent, at Boston, Phila delphia and Chicago of 12 per cent, and at all other cities of 11 per cent. All the signs prove that actual shortage of consumption is confined to a few lines only, principally those affected directly by the absence of winter, but that in other branches consumption is larger than at airy former time. In some cases, as in iron, the only difficulty or danger conies from the fact that a consumption clearly the largest ever known is probably surpassed by a production far beyond all records. Reports from every part of the country represent trade as ' fairly satisfactory, though signs of dullness eem to increase at Philadelphia, where the spurt of win ter has set back the spring trade. Chicago has. ji.s usual, a large increase over hist. ' year in grain and beef products and some increase in ury goous, wirn good sales of shoes, and better collections in both trades. St. Louis notes fairly active trade and satisfactory collections. "New Orleans reports planting much interrupted by lloods. but the danger abatlngancl business fair. Cleveland, Denver and Omaha re port improvement and other western cities a fairly satisfactory trade, though at several collections are tardy, but at Pittsburg depression in iron and steel, and slow trade in glass, due to ex travagant eot of materials, cause some disappointment. Those who labored so long to convince themselves that prices of iron and its pro ducts must rise iu spite of tle unprece dented output now admit that prices are lower aud the market unsettled and close on to demoralization. The offers of south ern iron are the obvious cause southern at S18.'J5 ami gray forge fltf.fiO here. Lower prices by 25 to SO cents are made at Pittsburg," with ?1 lower for rail-. S3 lower for blooms and billets and manufactured iron weaker. The fact of greatest significance repeatedly noted here, has been t lie slackening in de mand for finished products and some con cessions are now made in eastern markets on rails; for billets there are few sellers and no buyers, and the barmills are min ing short of onlers. In general, consump tion is larger than a year ago, but clearly hows restriction from the "great rnsh of laM fall. In dry stood a prevailing feature i the extreme caution of buyers, except from the south, which does" a lamer business, than ever, bnt the state of the trade is not eneonragiuc. Another important feature comes at a tine trhen banks had tieeun to seek commercial paper more freely. Im- THE CONGER BILL REPORTED. Washington. March 21. Representative Brosius, from the committee on agricul ture, today reported favorably to the house ,with amendments the Conger bill "defin ing lard and impoing a tax upon, and reg ulating the manufacture, etc., of compound lard." The bill in its main features is similar to the oleomargarine law, which the committee says has given general sat isfaction, aud the wrongs to be prevented and the benefits to be secured are, in their general characte , the same in both ca'-es. One bill applies to the imitation of butter and the other to the imitations of lard. INDIANS RELINQUISH THEIR TITLE. Washington, March 21. The house com mittee on Indian affairs today authorized a favorable report on a bill to ratify an agreement between the United States and the Cceur d'Alene Indians in Idaho. By this agreement the Indians promise to re linquish all titleto certain lands in Wash ington. Idaho and Montana formerly pos sessed by them but now held by the United States, and for the lands which the Indi ans had received, the United States agrees to expend for the benefit of the Indians the sum of $150,000 under the direction of the secretary of the interior.

"Ten women, including Ptradita Ramabai, were delegates to the fifth national congrosa of India. Mrs. Harding Cox, wifa-of the proprietor of The Field, The Qneen and other British journals, is regarded as the best amateur singer in London. She aIsowrites songs. The late Miss Constance Hsden, of England, was the first woman who recejjrod tha honor of being mado an associate of the Mason Sci ence college of Birmingham, where she won the Heclop gold medal. Mrs. Margaret C. Bisland, of'New Orleans, is both a writer and a musical composer. She is the mother of the three Bisland sisters, who have, at an early age, achieved so en viable a reputation in journalism. Dora Labonchere is a lively and spirited child of (5 years, with raven black hair, dark eyes and an olivo complexion. At the private view of the "Truth Toy Show" she acted as hostess to some huodredsof visitors with per fect ease. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett the author ess of "Little Lord Fauntleroy," is said to be engaged in writing a book of which her .younger son, Lionel, is the hero. Lionel is as much a wonder as-nn enfant terrible as is hia brother in the opposite role. Mrs. J. C.

"Lamme" is a fellow citizen of "kather, and meant to beat. To "soil" once meant ro clean, and "whit tle" used to mean a knife. "Gellibagger" has a kind of derisive sound to it, and onco meant bugbear. "Eager' was once slang, but meant sharp, and was applied to the air by Shakespeare. To "bluff," meaning to deceive, was used in Northumberland, aud meant to blindfold. "Whopper" was coined across the sea, and wa3 equivalent to thumper, or anything large. "Cranky"7 in the Datch meant sickly, and was used in Northumberland to express a simi lar condition. In 1811 "to crock," meaning to black with soot, was in ill repute, being sneezed at as an Essex vulgarism. "Shock" was oncesynonymous with sponge, and a man who sponged a dinner was said tc have shocked it. "To go snacks" first saw the light of day in Gloucestershire, aud meant just what it means nowadays. In sweet old Suffolk, sure enough, "links' meant sausages,'' and in Northumberland they called a handkerchief a napkin. "Gob," meaning the mouth, is of North umberland parentage, and "yaaping" h another Northumberland child and meatu crying. Concern, meaning an estate or establish ment, which is often hooted at by critics as an American commercialism, is an old En glish provincial word used in tho dear New England way. "Gulch," a word pipemakers used to de note the residue in the bowl and stem and which housekeepers apply to rubbish, ia s native of Kent, England, where it was born many moons ago. Call, as a noun, meaning occasion, right or obligation, as in the expression, "He had no call to do it," comes from Derbyshire, whera it was highly esteemed, and had the call above many other expressions.

One way to get rid of warts is for the per 6cn to see a funeral pass unexpostcdiy, wher ever it may be, and as it passes rub the warts quickly and repeat the words: "Warts and corpses pass away and never more return." Warts may be cured by taking a black snail, rubbing It on all the warts at night, and impaling the snail on a thorn bash, re peating tho process nine consecutive nights, by which time both the warts and the snail will be shriveled up. Select as many pebbles as you have warts, sowing them up in a small bag;, take them to where four roads cross and throw the hag over the left shoulder. If, by chance, any other person should find tha bag and open it tho warts will appear on his hand. If a person with warts on his hands will write down tho number of them on the band of a tramp's hat without tho tramp knowing It, he will carry the warta away with him that is,, they gradually disappear from the person's hands and appear on those of the tramp. Green peas may be used to advantage in taking off warts. Let the afflicted person Uke as many peas as he has warta cad touch each wart with a different pea. Hemuat then wrap each pea in a separate piece of paper and bury them secretly in tho shade of nn aah tree or under a hazol bush. Chicago Herald. "Would Blow it Away.
