Science UntiliZeS All the Ok.

In an article on the "Wondcrs of the
Worlds Waste" William George Jor-
dan, in the October Ladies's Home
formal, details how science at the pres
ent day utilizes the OK. mot many
years ago. he says, when an OK was
slaughtered forty per cent, of the AMI
NAL was wasted; at the present time
nothing is lost but its dying breath
AS but one third of the weight of the
animal consists of products that can be
eaten, the question of utilizing the waste
is serious one. The blood is used in
refining sugar and in sizing paper, or
manufactured into door-knobs and but
tons. The hide goes to the tanner;
horns and hoofs are transformed into
combs and buttons; thigh-b bones, worth
eighty dollars per ton, are cut into
handles for clothes brushes; tore-leg
bones sell for thirty dollars per ton for
collar-buttons, parasol handles and jew
elry; the water in which bones are
boiled is reduced to glue: the dust from
saving the bones is food for cattle and
poultry; the smallest bones are made
into boneblack. Each food yields a
quarter of a pint neat'stoot Oil; the tail
goes TO the 'soup"; while the brush of
the hair at the end of the tail is sold to
the mattress maker. The Choicer parts
of the fat make the basis of butterine
the intestines are used for sausage cas-
ings or bought by gold bea:ers. The I'M
digested food in the stomach, which
formerly cost the packers of Chicago
thirty thousand dollars a year to re-
move and destroy, is now made into
paper. These are but a few of the pro-
ducts of abbatoirs. All scraps unfit for
any other use find welcome in the glue
pot, or they do missionary work for
farmers by acting as fertilizers"

Wheat and Silver.

OF late years We have heard a great
deal about the fraternal relations of
wheat and silyer-how they are com
mercial twins, affected by the same con-
ditions and holding precisely the same
ratio. If You want to see where wheat
and silver 90 together-or potatoes and

the farm products. ALWAYS productive,
the farms along tins line are always sue

taken between the Twin Cities and the

MORGAN OFF TO HAWAII
Alabama's Senator Left Yes

Other LEGISLATORS.
Remaining Members of the Wheeling
Gunboat Party Start South
This Morning.

Senator Morgan of Alabama, who has
by some persons been gratefully styled
"the human stove that roasted Hunting
ton, sailed from here yesterday afternoon
for Honolulu, accom- panied by the two
Misses Morgan.
Several Legislators ard politicians were

With Senator Morgan there departed
several other legislators of note, mem bers
OF the visiting Wheeling gun boat party,
who gladly availed themselves of the op-
portunlty to visit Honolulu in company
with the Alabama Senator. These per-
sons, as mentioned in yesterdays CALI,
were Congressman Berry and Miss Berry
of Kentucky, Congressman and Mrs.
Bankhead OF Alabama, Mrs. Dovener of
West Virginia, Congressman and Mrs.
Loudenslager OF New Jersey, Congressman
Joe Cannon OF Illinois and Congressman
Tawney of Minnesota.
Some thirty of the remaining forty nine
memb bers of the gunboat party were on
the summit OF Mount Tamalpais yester-
day afternoon as the steamship Australia
passed plainly to their view out through
the Golden Gate and steamed far to the
westward bearing away their friends.
In the forenoon the visitors from the
Southern States formed into several par
ties. some going to the Cliff first and some
to the park first and to the Cliff afterward.
Last night one party attended tue
Orpheum. The larger number of the
visitors, however, were at Odd Fellows
Hall, where a lecture on California was
delivered and in their honor stereopticon
views exhibited of scenes IN West Vir-
ginia.
AT 8 o'clock this morning all the re-
naming members of the Wheeling party
will depart for Fresno on their way to

Cooney and Elizabeth Haskins entered
into conspiracy, is inevitable"
The speaker then drew special atten-
ton TO the length of time which had
elapsed between Senator Fairs death and
Mrs. Craven's announcement OF her rights,
and intimated that it was not until she
had met Martin Kelly or his agent, James
L. Cullen, that she announced her posses
sion OF the pencil Will.
incidentally McEnerney threw in few
remarks in explanation of Governor
Budds connection wit the case. She
says that Martin Kelly came to her from
Governor Budd, said McEnerney, and
said Governor Budd wishes. 10 see you. 1t
is not unlikely that Martin Kelly went 10
Governor Buid and said, There is a
woman in town who has a last will OF
James G. Fair which rights your Client by
living $500,Q00 to your client, Charles L.
Fair Well, she went to Governor Budd,
and he said, Where is that wlllY She
said, w. at will?'
Now, II Governor Budd was occupying
the position of an attorney looking out
for the interests of his client, what was
Martin Kelly doing in that room unless
he was aiding and abetting Mrs. Nettie r.
Craven?' Then McEnerney tossed few
floral tributes at the executive, who he
said was free from taint OF corruption.
The advocate argued that Mrs CTaven's s
actions previous to announcing her pos
session of the deeds and the wills ali
negat1ved such po session. He also dwelt
strongly upon the point that no motive
had been sh own in Senator Fair for max
ing such fits to Mrs. Craven. There is
not a letter. not q single scrap of paper,
he said, expressing Fairs friendship or
gratitude toward her."
At the afternoon session the crowd was
even larger than in the morning. Lieu
tenant-Governor Jeter came in and sat
with the attorneys for the plaintiff for
awhile. He was too late, however, to
hear McEnerney's explanation OF the
Governors s attitude.
McEnerney consumed the greater part
of the afternoon in exploiting the modus
op@rand: OF the COM posing-room and in
showing why numerous noiarial blanks OF
divers dates were Identical, while other
blanks of equally confusing origin were
various. Alter the chronological dis
course upon blanks, he turned 10 con-
