Steam-Heated Barn.

The new barn recently completed
for Colonel Blees, Macon's millionaire,
is one of the most expensive buildings
in north Missouri, and undoubtedly
the finest barn in the State outside the
largest cities. More than $4,000 feet
of the best lumber that could be pro-
cured was used in it's construction:
The roof required $4,000 shingles, and
more than $4,000 feet of ceiling ium'
Der and nearly 10000 feet Of weather
boarding were used. The inside is
finished with hard pine end is oiled
and vanished, the floor space is nearly
all covered with granitoid pavement,
and the entire building is heated with
steam and supplied with all modern
conveniences. Kansas lCity Journal.

Cure For Hydrophobia.

For many years it has been known
that the Yaqui Indians, of Sonora,
possessed vegetable specific remedy
for hydrophobia, which was not only
sure and eficacious, but perfectly
harmless. While always ready to ap'
ply the remedy when needed, tho In.
dams have kept its constituents a
profound secret. Recently DR.. J. s.
Bell, a specialist, now OF Hermosillo,
has secured from the Yaquis their val
liable secret and large quantity OF
the herbs necessary for its manufac.
ture, and will return to the United
States to introduce the remedy
throughout the country. 1t is be-
lieved that it's certainty and safety,
combined with its almost insignificant
cost, compared with visiting Pasteur
institute for treatment, will cause il
to become the generally accepted rem.
