an OPERATION PERFORMED.
Surgeons Make IN Incision In President
Roossvslt's Left Lee-No Cause for
Alarm, They Say.


Washington, Sept. 29.-Another op-
GRAFTON was performed yesterday on
the abscess on the leg Of President
Roosevelt. In the former operation
simple needle was used to relieve
the trouble, but yesterday the sur
yeons with knife made an incision
into the small cavity, exposing the
bone which was found to be slightly
affected. The presidents case has
been progressing satisfactorily, but
it is believed by the physicians that
the further operation made yester-
day will hasten his complete recov-
cry. While none Of the doctors are
willing to be quoted they give the
most positive assurances that there
is not the least cause Of alarm and
say that on the contrary there is
every indication Of a speedy recov-
cry, that the area Of bone affected
is very slight and will not result in
any impairment of the presidents
limb, and that there is no evidence
whatever Of any matter that would
produce blood poisoning. They con-
fidently express their opinion that
the president will be up in reason
able time and with his robust consti-
tuition will be himself again.
DR.. Newton NJ. Shaffer, of New
York, who long has been acquainted
with the Roosevelt family and has
attended the Presidents childfen at
various times and who is also well
known bone specialist, joined the
presidents physicians in their morn
ing consultation at ten o'clock. 1t
was noticed that there had been
slight rise in the presidents tempera-
ture and an increase in local symp-
toms and the conclusion was reached
that the patients recovery would be
FASTENED by making an incision OF
the wound for the purpose of reliev-
ing the slight tension or swelling
which was present and also to drain
the wound. The operation was per-
formed in the afternoon and an ap-
plication of cocaine was used to al
lay the pain. The president stood
the operation very well and subse-
1uently expressed bis satisfaction at
the successful result.
The physicians last night took a
roseate view of the presidents pros
poets for getting out again. He has
become somewhat restive because OF
his close confinement and the physi-
clans are considering the advisaBility
Of permitting him to take ride in
A few days. The physicians say the
question now is simply one of the
healing of the wound and reiterate
that this will be hastened by the
operation made yesterday.

SNYDER ARRAIGNED.
1 Plea Of Not Guilty Entered for the Bank
or and Promoter Of Kansas city
and New York.

st. Louis, Sept. 3O.-The first days
proceedings in the trial OF Robert
NJ. Snyder, the banker and promoter
of Kansas City and New York, on
charges of bribery in connection with
the passage of the Central Traction
oil several years ago ended in COM
plete victory for the state, repre-
sented by Circuit Attorney Joseph
W. Folk, every objection offered by
the defense being overruled by Judge
Ryan. Snyder was arraigned, but re-
fused to plead and the court ordered
the clerk to enter plea OF not
guilty. To-day the selection of a
Jury will begin. 1t will then devolve
,p0n tne' state to prove that tne' ue-
'end1nt IS not a resident of Missouri.
rhe statute of limitations, which has
sheltered all the officials who took
part in the deal, is the legal loophole
through which Snyder's attorneys
nope to pull him to liberty The law
IS plain. If Snyder, at the time of
lis Indictment, had lived in Missouri
for a period amounting to three
years since the date of the bills
passage he cannot be prosecuted for
lis part in the transaction. If he
lad lived outside of the state for
50 long a time as to reduce his term
)f residence in the state to less than
three years prosecution is possible.
The defense is confident Of proving
residence in the state, namely, at
Kansas City. Mr.. Folk, on the other
hand, is confident of proving that
snyder has been resident Of New
York city during the greater part
If the four years which passed be-
,ween the crime and the Indictment.
The punishment for the crime with
which Snyder is charged is imprison.
nent in the penitentiary for q term

N. zoLA AspHYxIATED.
The Noted French Novelist Loses HIS Life
from the Fumes Of Stove In
His Bedroom.

Paris, Sept. 3O.-Emile Zola, the
novelist who gained additional promi-
nence in recent years because OF his
defense Of the Jews and Of former
Capt. Dreyfus, was found dead in his
Paris house yesterday morning. AS
phyxiation resulting from the fumes
from d stove in his bedroom is giten
as the cause of death. NJ. Zola and
his wife retired at ten o'clock Sun
day night. Nine. Zola was seriously
i'll when the room was broken into
yesterday morning. At about noon
she was removed to private hos
pital, where she recovered conscious
ness for short time and was able
briefly to explain to magistrate
what had happened. N; and Nine.
Zola returned to Paris from their
country house at Medan Sunday. Ow-
ing to sudden spell Of cold weather
the heating stove in the bedroom was
ordered to be lighted. The stove
burned badly and the pipes of the
stove are said to have been out OF
order.
TO the magistrate Nine. Zola ex-
planned that she woke early yester-
day morning with splitting head
ache. She wakened her husband and
asked him to open window. She
saw him rise and attempt to move
towards window, but he staggered
and fell to the floor unconscious.
Nine. Zola tainted at the same mo-
ment and was, therefore, unable to
give the alarm.
The death of NJ. Zola which only
became generally known late yester-
day afternoon has caused a great
sensation in Paris and yesterday
evening there was a constant stream
of callers at the Zola residence.
It was reported here during the
day that there were evidences of
suicide in the death of NJ. Zola.
Nothing has so far developed to sub
stantiate this theory, and the state
ment by Nine. Zola to the magistrate
seems to disprove it. M. Zola dined
with a good appetite Sunday even-
ng and the servants of the house
mold ate of the same dishes.
M. Zola was born in Paris, April ?,
1910.

JEFF MAY WAS ACQUITTED
JURY FOUND THAT HE DID
NOT KILL HARRY
HIBBS.

Bismarck, Nd, Dec. % JEFF May
acquitted Of the charge of murder Of
Harry Hibbs on the fifteenth of Jan
uary last. The verdict Of acQuittaI
was reached at shortly after II
O'Clock and at half past II the defend
ant in the case, whose trial has occu-
pied three weeks, was d free man,
after eleven months of waiting. seven
months of which were passed in Jail.
The jury deliberated about two hours.
The chronology Of the May case oc-
cupied nearly year. The death of
Harry HibbS occurred on January Is
last. The corners inquiry into the
case began day or two later. The
body was eXhumed and the fracture
of the skull discovered January %.
a few days later the cOronOr's jury
returned a verdict charging May with
the crime and he was arrested. At
preliminary examination in February
he was held to the district court for
trial. After being in Jail seven
months, he was released in Septem-
Der on $40, 900 bail. His trial began
November 25, and it required week
to obtain jury. The superstitious,
who have dread Of Friday, will pro-
badly find it difficult to reconcile
their superstitions with the fact that,
the taking of testimony in the case
was begun on Friday, the end of the
case was reached on Friday and the
verdict of acquittal rendered on Fri
day.
-Four ballots were taken before the
jury reached verdict, and the jury
sent for the skull before they COM
pleted their deliberations.

It is false idea that the farm

the farm home: and that the boy, to
amount to anything should leave the
farm and go to doing something else.
The girl, to make the best woman,
should be taught to love the farm
home and the boy to love the land
and till it. 1t is mistaken idea
that the daughters of wealthy farmers
should know nothing about house
work, but get an education in some
fashionable school in the city. The
girls education should be primarily
for the home. City schooling takes
, the girl from home at the wrong time.
Many an educated girl can't cook a
decent meal of victuals, and doesn't t
know how to boil water without burn

teaching both boys and girls how to
farm right and how to make the home
right.

boy who begins to despise the farm
and the farm home and goes to the
over crowded centers to fight his way

It will soon mean something to own
land, and to know the best ways to
handle it. This is an age OF special
chores are too many and both can be
made less hard to handle and less
irksome by systematic knowledge of
better ways Of doing farm work by
taking short cuts and by learning
things taught at the agrltultureal
schools. Men who do things IN a
first class way stand the stress OF
hard times better than the man
who goes slip-shod on his work. 1t as

man. The telephone the rural de-
livery, are helping to make farm life
pleasanter. AS the population OF the
country increases the independent
land owner will occupy the most Sc
cure position. 1t is expensive to keep
up the city home. Some one has got
to support it but when the head OF
the house dies the farmers family can
get living from the farm and be Sc
cure in the farm home. Secretary
Wilson says that we have enough law
yerS doctors and preachers: we need
more farmers and better ones. When
lany of the men engaged in professional
work makes success personally, 1t
does not help a community, but when
a farmer goes into community and
by improved methods makes a success
where others have only done inditfer-
entity, or failed, his work raises the
value of other lands and give his
neighbors many pointers that help
their conditions. Every young man
should get a piece of land, small
one, if necessary, but land that he can
call his own. Big farms are not need
ed, and no girl should marry a man
who has not some land to fall back on
in case Of misfortune.

comfort of the chickens and some
times prevents freezing. Or the
rooSting place can be made darker and
separate from the feeding place and
warmer.
TO have clean hen house there
should be no nails or Stats on the
walls, which should be perfectly
smooth. The roosting poles should
be hung from the roof with wires,
low in summer for GOODNESS and high
in winter. Spikes can be driven into
the walls and the nest boxes, with
hay nests, hung to the spikes the
boxes can be removed to clean.
Not over hundred hens can be
handled with profit by the average
farmer but that many can be cared
for without much trouble. Mr. Gree
ley said that all the extra work be-
sides the feeding, in doing the small
chores, to properly care for the hen
house for year could be done in one
day and that it was the best days
work a farmer could do.
TO keep lice from the hens, the
nests should be sprinkled with a
pinch of sulphur and lime and the
hay changed often. A dust box in a
sunny place with a bushel or two Of
road dust is necessary. The box can
be 3 or feet square. The hens will
keep themselves clean with these pre-
cautions. The floor in the hen house
should be slanting and on a 20 foot
floor one end should be at least Is in
ches higher than the other end. The
hens scratch all the accumulations
to the door and it leaves one side Of
the house clean for throwing feed.
The hen house, if s feet high is ample
with 5 feet under the caves. For 100
hens, the house should be II to l5
feet wide and 20 to 25 feet long.
Plain studding, 2x4 and sheeting up
with ship-lap and good matched
floor are needed, all built of dry lum-
Der. The space between the studding
and the ceiling should be stuffed with
dry prairie hay and no frost or damp
ness can get through. A double sheet
ing overhead should be wadded with
hay as we'll as the sides.
Mr.. Greeley says that if hens on the
farm are properly cared for they will
save many renter home.
