uousekoopers want tho Best Food.

Housekecpers Eant tho Best Food What Scientists say;
 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: 1T consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of its manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.

FLAMES SWEEPING ALL.
Indiana Prairie Fires Devastating
Everything in Their Path.

CROWN POINT, IND, Oct. 2S.-
Should no rain fall in the next twenty
four hours and the high winds con-
tinue to-day, the southern portion of
Porter county and part of Jasper,
consisting of nearly $4,000 acres, will
be a heap of ashes. Near Koutz three
lives are reported lost and one man,
Jonah Poole, was fatally burned. The
names of the dead are unknown.
Already 10000 acres have been
burned over and the fire is increasing
rapidly.
People living at Baum's bridge, four
miles from the flames, r preparing
to move. Thousands upon thousands
of tons of hay were consumed last
night and this morning, and $3.50, 900
worth of fatted cattle, owned by
Nelson Morris of Chicago, are in great
danger. The herd of 2,700 is nov be-
ing driven south.
Bridges over the river near Sandy
Hook were burned like paper. No
estimate of the damage can be made,
but it will reach easily $50, 900 to s75,-
900, if not much more.
Five miles east of Koutz another
fire is raging, but not of so much i'm
portance. Farmers for ten miles
around are forming parties to protect
their homes. The fire was caused by
sparks from an engine.

COLD WAVE, WIND AND SNOW.
Gale That Swept Over Michigan One
of the Worst Ever Known.

DETROIT, MICH, Oct. 29.-All the
records of the weather Office for Octo-
Der were broken by the cold wave and
northwest gale of to-day. In Detroit
thia naarnine tho thermometer reais=
tered 30 degrees, at Grand Haven, on
the west shore, 30, and at Alpena 80
degrees. The wind attained a fearful
velocity, SO much so that the sand
dunes at st. Joseph were shifted and
hundreds of tons of sand blown across
the Chicago & West Michigan tracks,
stopping all railroad traffic. From
numerous points throughout the State
came the report of wind and snow
storms and bitterly cold weather. At
Schoolcraft it is reported that there
have been sand and dust storms of
great fury for forty eight hours, the
air being filled with sand, which cuts
the face and makes it almost impossi-
BILE to be out of doors. No such wealth
or has ever been experienced before
and thousands of dollars damage has
been done to the celery crop in Kala-
mazoo and other points throughout
the State. The Newberry celery crop
is utterly ruined by last nights cold
snap. Reports received up to Q o'clock
tonight show that there is general
snow storm in the upper peninsula as
far east as Sault Ste. Marie.

The st. Louis Stur-Sayings says:
Maud Lewis has been released Rufus
P. Spalding, her brother-in-law, and
G. D.. Comfort signed the bond for

WATCHING THE TAYLORS.
Sheriff Stanley Declines to Permit
Them to Be Seen.

FAYETTE, Mo-, Oct. 27.-Sherif
George E. Stanley of Carroll county
was here this morning. Referring to
the Taylor brothers, who r in his
charge, he said that almost prohibi-
tory rules had been adopted against
them seeing visitors since their con-
viction. This course, he explained,
had been rendered necessary because
of the great number of applicants who
desire to see the boys, some of whom
are interested in their salvation,
others to discuss the crime with them
and many simply from morbid curl
osity. During a recent religious
gathering in Carrollton MIR. Stanley
says he thinks about 400 preachers
asked permission to see the Taylors.
OF course, they had to be refused, for
to have let one in would have necessi-
tated the admission of all. He says
his prisoners are getting along as well
as men ordinarily do in their circum-
stances, but since the failure of their
negotiations to effect an escape
through n of the ~jailors, they are
rather inclined to be uncommunica-
tive. Mr.. Stanley does not anticipate
any further attempts of the prisoners
to escape, but feels that his system of
espionage is sufficient to Illustrate any
such efforts should they be made.

BOTH ENGINEERS KILLED.
Two Accommodation Trains Come
Together at Full Speed on the
Missouri Pacific.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 30.-A head-end col
lision between two Kirkwood passen-
ger trains occurred on the Missouri
Pacific Railway tracks one block west
of Kings highway about IL O'Clock
last night with disastrous results.
John Harper and Catron, the two en-
gineers, we're killed outright. Their
bodies were buried in the wreck.
George Dunbar and George True,
the firemen, were fatally injured.
John Bayliss, a brakeman on one OF
the trains, sustained q broken collar
bone, and several minor injuries about
the body.
Conductor William A. Williams es-
capped with a dislocated arm and sew
eral bruises more or less severe. The
wounded were removed to the Mis-
souri, Pacific Hospital.
At 1890 O'Clock this morning the
police reported the above as a com
plete list of the killed and injured.
The cause of the collision seems tt
have been a misunderstanding as tt
the right of way. Train No. 40, which
left the Union Station for Kirkwoot
at 1920, went out on the wrong track
One statement is that this was a mis-
take. Another report is that the trair
had the right to that track on account
of repairs being made on the other.
The incoming train from Kirkwoot
came in on the same track, and they
met at Kings highway.
Both engines were running at q rap
i'd rate of speed when they plunged in,
to each other. Both were demolished
into unrecognizable heaps.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.
Another Reported Massacre Of Armen-
ians-Said That $50 Were Killed.

CoNsTANTTNoPLE, Oct. 2S.-Another
terrible massacre of Armenians, &C
companied by the outraging of
women, is reported to have occurred
quite recently in the Baiburt district,
between Erzeroum and Trebizond.
According to the news received here,
a mob of about 500 Mussulmans and
Lazes, the great majority of whom
were armed with Martini-H Henry rifles,
made an attack upon the Armenians
inhabiting several villages of that
vicinity and set fire to their houses
and schools. AS the Armenians fed
in terror from their dwellings they
were shot down as they ran, and a
number of men and women who were
captured by the rioters, it is added,
were fastened to stakes and burned
alive. The Armenian women who fell
into the hands of the mob, it is also
asserted, We're outraged and brutally
mutilated. 1t is also stated that the
churches were deserted and the viii
lagos pillaged, the cattle and all the
portable property of any value be-
longing to the Armenians being car
ried off by the marauders.
During the disturbance $50 Armen-
ians are reported to have been killed.
The surviving villagers applied to the
Governor of Baiburt for protection,
who, after hearing their complaint,
sent three policemen to the scene of
the massacre after the slaughter was
ended.
The number of Armenians massa-
cred at Birmingham is now said to be
several hundred.
The Turks have also attacked the
Armenians in the district of Gumush-
dagh, near T~rebizond, and slaughtered
many of them.

STATE s. s. ASSOCIATION.
A Great Religious Movement-Con-
vention to Meet in Sedalia.

AS a contribution to the material
progress of the State the aggressive
Christian work of Missouri is not a
secondary factor. 1t is particularly
true that the organized, interdenomi-
national Sunday School work has
given to the State a new name in re-
cent years. The Missouri Sunday
School Association, by its conven-
tions and institutes and publications,
has placed Missouri among the very
foremost States of this continent in
Sunday School work; in fact, a COM
parison of the work done in the three
years preceding the last worlds con-
vention placed Missouri at the very
top of the list of States and Provinces
reporting in that great convention.
An increase in one year of 500 Sunday
Schools and over $4,000 teachers and
scholars indicates the growth OF this
work among all evangelical denomi-
nations in the State. The last report
shows an aggregate of 6,691 Sunday
Schools with COB, 65S members.
Through the Missouri Sunday School
Association, composed of all evangel-
ical denominations, is maintained
Missouri's connection with the great
international Sunday School work,
and only through this State Associa-
ton are the delegates sent to the In
ternstional andWorld's Sunday School
Conventions. The International or
ganization, of which the Missouri AS
ISOLATION is a part, ~inaugurated and
maintains the international Uniform
Lesson System, now used in all parts
of the world, and also aids all the
States and Provinces in their organ
lied Sunday School work.
