The Evaporation Of Trees.

Some curious facts concerning trees
have been discovered. A single oak Of
good size is said to lift I23 tons OF wa
ter during the months it is in leaf. This
moisture is evaporated and rises to form
rain clouds. From this estimate of the
labor of single oak we can gain some
idea OF the immense force which the
forests exert in equalizing the evapora-
ton and precipitation and preventing
periods OF inundation and drought

Weeds in the Turnip Bed.

One point in growing turnips Is to
plant the seed on ground that has been
well cleared of weeds. If the young
plants can escape the weeds until the
leaves are well out, half the danger of
loss is then over. No plant is harder
than the turnip, and the plants only
require n good start to insure crop.

You will never find our Doc
tor out. He is here to give
advice without charge to those
who need him - to those who
don't, sometimes. He doesn't
always recommend the Aver
medicines, because the Aver
medicines are not "cure-alls."
Perhaps if we tear a leaf
from his correspondence it will
show you what we mean. Here
is a letter which came last
March.
"DEAR DR.. AVER:
want your advice for my little boy.
He is getting very thin. He has no appe-
tite. He is fifteen years old. When he
was four years old he had lung fever, but
his health was good until two years ago.
Since then he is failing fast. The doctors
here say he has the bronchitis. lie spits
all the time awful bad. The spits are big,
tniCk, ana Wnlte. y ours truly,
Mrs. MARGARET MURPHY,
March so, 1900. kinbrae, MINI"
And this is the way the Doc
tor answered Mrs. Murphy:
"DEAR MADAM;
ave enclose our book on The Throat
and Lungs, in which we trust you will find
just the information you desire.
"You should begin at once the use Of
this Cherry Pcctoral for your son, giving
it in moderate doses. Then procure some
good preparation of cod.liver oil, as
Scott's Emulsion, and give him that, as
well. Pay particular attention to his diet,
giving him such nourishing foods as rare
steak, lamb chops, good milk, eggs, etc.
Above oil, keep him out of doors all that
the weather permits. There is nothing
that will do him more good than plenty of
fresh air. Let. him live out Of doors all
that is possible. by carrying out these
general suggestions we shall hope to hear
soon that your son is improving in every
way. Very truly yours,
April S, 1900. J. C. AVER"
! You see, it wasn't only the
Aver medicines that we recon-
mendcd. The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter:
"DEAR DIR. AVER:
any little boy has improved so much
since l received your advice that want to
write and tell you how thankful am.
"When l first wrote you, on March
80, he only weighed 90 pounds, but now
he weighs 81 pounds; and all this gain
since the Sth of April, when l first began
to follow your directions.
"Please let me thank you again for what
you have done for my boy.
July II, 1900. MARGARET MURPHY"
Perhaps it was the cod
liver oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral. Probably it
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave in the
first place. We are here to
serve you in just the same way,
and we will eell you the medi-
cine for your case or tell you
what medicines to avoid.
Five out of ten of our cor
respondents need doctor
rather than prepared medi-
cine, and we tell them so. IF
the doctors only knew it, we
are working with them every
day.

SANTA FEE PACIFIC, WRECK
Freight Train Loaded With Copper
 Goes Through Bridge.

Williams. Ariz., July 25.-(SpeciaL. J. A serious accident occurred on the Santa Fe Pacific this morning about 11:3O at Maine, about sixteen miles east of Williams. A bridge was burn ing out at that point when a long freight train came down the grade making fast time. No warning was given when the train passed around the curve, approaching the danger within very short distance. The fireman engineer and all the trainmen jumped. brakeman leaped to the ground from the top of a freight ear. The engine passed over the bridge. but the three cars following plunged through the bridge and were burned. The freight cars were heavily loaded with high grade copper ore from the United Verde mine at Jerome. No one was injured Trains are all delayed awaiting the re- pair of the bridge.

CODE BOOK LOST.

Washington, July 25.-The question of the authenticity of the dispatch from Minister Conger. dated at Pekin on the 18th inst, developed the fact today that several years ago a copy of the state department cipher code disappeared and never has been recovered. These code books are numbered and re- ceipted for when placed in the hands of those entitled to them. An inkling was given that the missing code book fell into the hands of the Chiness gov ernment. This confirmation was cal. culated to inspire doubt of the au thenticity of the Conger dispatch. The state department officials decline to discuss the story of the theft cf tho code book. but do deny that they eve- entertained a suspicion that it had fallen into the hands of the Chinese government

A GIGANTIC FRAUD
Being Practiced Upon the Whole World-The Appeal for Media tion Seems to Have Been Made Everywhere-A Hope Held Out That Everybody in Pekin Was Not Murdered.

Washington, July 26.- There were no developments today to warrant the assumption that there was the slight est improvement in the Chinese situa- tion. Indeed the general tenor of such news as found light was to add to the steady growing doubt as to the good faith of the Chinese government, as manifested in it's acts. Admiral Memphis letter today made a direct statement that the imperial authori ties were in sympathy with the Boxers, though, he added, that the government was afterward paralyzed and incapable of controlling the situation.
 This was the first official declaration to reach our government contradictory of the Chinese representations that the imperial government had steadfastly and from the first opposed the Boxer movement and our government is bound to accept the word of it's own officers until that is overcome by ire futable evidence. Then exchanges that are in constant progress between the powers are tending more and more to cast suspicion upon the genuineness of many communications that have come from Pekin from Chinese govern mental sources. If it should be finally established that there has been an at tempt on their part to practice a gi- gantic fraud upon the world that fact may call for change of attitude on the part of the United States government toward China.

TROUBLE AT NEW ORLEANS
After Several Hours of General Dis
 order, Quiet Reigns.

New Orleans. July 26.-After being in the hands of lawless mobs for several hours with the police apparently pow erless to maintain order New Orleans at daybreak again assumed d peaceful and orderly condition, and violence apparently finally ceased. The riOting grew out of the intense feeling engen- dered by the murder of Captain Day and Patrolman Lamb and the wound ing of Officer Mora by Desperate Charles. One man was killed, three others will die and fifteen were wounded.
 In the rioting of last night and today one negro was beaten to death. six were so badly wounded that their lives are despaired of, and about a score of people, white and black, male and fe- male. have been more or less seriously. wounded
 Five hundred extra policemen have been sworn in.
