be if we could tear off the mask of human
defllement, or beat drum that would
bring up tho whole army OF the worlds

and the rapine, and the murder, and the
crime Of all the centuries! Aye, If could
sound the trumpet of resurrection in the
soul Of the best men in this audience, and
all the dead sins of the past should come
up, we could not endure the sight. Sin,
grim and dire, has put its clutch upon the
immortal soul, and that clutch will never
relax unless IL be under the heel Of him
who came to destroy the works of the devil.

The BIoodv Lake Charles Fight.

ORANGE, Tex, Aug 4-Belder Sanders who
Just returned from Lake Charles, Ia, confirms
the report of the riot az Boekmoore & Co.'S

wounded man, who left the scene at O'Clock
yesterday He stated that fourteen men had
been killed and two were missing 1t was

and the whites gang. Sanders stated that
many different reports are being circulated and
nothing more authentic could be learned.
The latest reports place the number OF
wounded at sixteen and that officers and physi-
clans were waylaid and murdered.
Another account OF the riot comes from West

caused by the breaking out of an old feud be-
tween band OF robbers known as the ash
worth gang and the cattlemen OF that section.
Following is q partial list of those killed: Dy-
son, Marion, Markle, Lee, Perkins, Owen and
Ashworth OF the ''Red Bones" gang, and Joseph
Ward and Swan of the cattlernen. The latest re-
port is to the effect that everything is quiet.
The coroner is making an investigation.
Twenty are known TO have been more or less
seriously hurt. Sunday afternoon thirty "Red
Bones" came 10 the camp after the bodies of the
dead, and dispersed officers who were at the
scene and who are organizing strong force 10
storm the strongholds Of the desperadoes. More
trouble is expected.
A later report OF the fight sent last night and
today was of a morning fight. In the after
noon 1t was reported at a store down the road
that the "Red Bones" desperadoes were massa-
cring women, children and everyone they
came across at Camp Learned. This afternoon
reinforcements went up from along the line OF
the Caleasien, Vernon d Shreveport road. IN
going up Mr.. T. T. Swan, an old and respected
citizen of Calcasien was murdered from am
bush. Excitement is running high, and more
trouble is expected

Bees In White River Valley.
Kent Journal.


Since the rains ceased bees have done
reasonably well. Nectar has not ceased TO
flow for a single day. Colonies that did
not swarm have gathered considerable
honey. One of the lesding questions with
honey producers is: "How TO prevent
swarming?" for when a colony swarms
that is about the end of gathering surplus
for that year. Bees swarm because it is
the natural method of increase-too little
room, exposure TO heat of sun, insect
pests, starvation from robbing and other
causes, too close proximity 10 another
colony when it swarms, and the swarming
fever. Among the best things TO do to
prevent swarming is 70 give plenty of
room and cut out queen cells. And here
is n suggestion 10 beginners who pay from
$3.50 10 So for movable frame hive and
then allow the bees 10 build their comb in
a way that frames cannot be lifted out
easily one at a time. Buy square box
for . cents, for it viii answer the purpose
just as we'll, and you can use the rest Of
the money TO buy book or journal,
winch will give the necessary information
in bee culture. The honey gathered in
this locality the last three weeks is of very
tine quality

Do Eggs Pay at Low Prices?
Farm and Fireside.

When eggs are as low as 10 cents a
dozen do they pay? This is question
that often comes up for discussion. In
olden times, before the railroads had
reached all points. our ancestors were cen
tent with 6 cents per dozen for eggs.
Whether eggs pay or not depends on how
much they cost. We do not believe that a
farmer should feed his hens at all in the
summer season, if they have range.
Allow flock to have access to the stub
BILE of the wheat field, or where grass is
plentiful, and they will secure all the food
required, and more than they need, and of
a variety. When insects, grass and waste
grain can be converted into eggs by the
hens. there is simply saving of that
which might otherwise be wasted. We are
partial to the active and industrious hen.
She will cost her owner nothing in sum-
mer, and the eggs can be sold low and yet
give profit. The hen needs no feed for
hve months in the year, and fifty pounds
of grain viii carry her over the cold sea-
son, at which time eggs are high. In warm
climates one-half the grain only is needed.
The true way to keep fowls IS TO allow
them 10 forage in an orchard. Poultry
and fruit make an excellent combination.

Dat Smut.

Smut of oats is due to parasitic fungus,
UstiIdgo dUeneS. SHUTS are common and
destructive fungi on large number OF
different plants. Every farmer is we'll ac-
quainted with corn smut (Ustildgo may
dis), wheat smut (UstiiGqo Fritici), bunt or
sinking smut 7iiletia foeteus). The latter
is sometimes very destructive. The black
masses found in place of the oat kernel is
made up of thousands of small roundish
spores, the reproductive bodies. Many be-
lieve that the disease is carried from stalk
to stalk while smut is forming, as rust is
carried about. This is. however, a mis-
take. Investigation has shown that smut
enters the tissues of the plant through its
most tender part, which is at the time the
seed terminates. The mycelium or the
vegetative part of the fungus grows up
with the plant, and when the latter is
ready to form seed smut spores also form.
Smut contains small amount of ergotine,
the same principle found in ergot. The
amount of smut is so small that you need
feel little alarm about feeding your straw
to cattle or horses.
