BRITISH IN TROUBLE
Repored Troops on Afghan Frontier
Have Been Severely Repulsed.

Peshawur, India, Nov. 19-The Brit
ish expedition to put down the upris-
ing Of the Waziri tribesmen on the
Afghan frontier is meeting with de-
termined opposition. Colonel Tonne
chy, in command of the fourth column,
has been mortally wounded in an en-
gagement with the insurgents, and
Major Beresford, the next in COM
mand, has akked for reinforcements.
London, Nov. 1.-the news of the
British check in the Waziri country
has created some alarm here, as 1t is
feared that the column is surrounded
and that the full details Of the casual
ties are being withheld.
A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Simla, India, Nov. 10, said that
owing to a series of raids committed
during the last two years by outlaws
from across the border, on the tract of
territory lying between Bannu and
Thai, in the Punjab, it had been de-
cided to dispatch four flying surprise
columns of 500 men each to coerce the
Waziris, who were harboring the raid
ers on British territory.

Danger Signal In the Alps.

According to the international agree
ment recently made in regard to the
danger signal in the Alps, six shots OF
movements of light will be recognized
as a call for assistance. In cases of
stomach, liver and bowel troubles, it is
always wise to heed the first danger
signal, and give Nature the assistance
she is calling for. The best medicine to
aid the stomach in digesting the food,
to stir up the liver, or to open up the
clogged bowels, is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t is backed by record of
fifty years of cures. Be sure to try the
Bitters if you are sufferer from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, fatulency, constipa-
ton or biliousness. Our Private Stamp

TERRIBLE RECORD
Series Of Fatalities at Sault Ste.
49, Marie.
THREE DEAD.--ONE MISSING
Remains of Unknown Person Found In
Garret-Dead Man Found in Woods
Hunter Mistood Another Nimrod
For a Deer and Killed Him.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Nov. 49,
Two unknown bodies found, one hunt
er shot, and one man reported miss
ing, Is the record of Sault Ste. Marie
for the. first two days of this week.
Monday morning it was reported to
the police that Lee Johnson, a young
man employed by the Algoma Central
railroad, had been missing since Mon
day night of the week before.
About 1880 Monday afternoon E. D.
Cumberworth, plumber in the en-
ploy Of the Ferguson Hardware COM
pany, went to the new residence of
DR.. z. H. Webster on Chandler Heights
for some tools which he had left there
the week before while plumbing the
house, which Is not yet finished. He
went into the garnet and there found
the dead body of an unknown man,
who had evidently gained admission
through one OF the windows, which
were covered with canvas, the canvas
In one OF them being torn out. On his
person was found hypodermic
syriRg and one arm was we'll pitted
with marks by the use of the needle.
Memoranda found on his person make
1t seem probable that his name is DR..
Murdoch. An employment agency had
the name Mike McGraw on its books,
and the keeper said that this was the
same man who had given it, and whom
he had sent to Eckerman to work in
the camps there. At Eckerman it was
stated that the man did not appear to
be accustomed to hard work and had
said that he was a doctor and had
treated several of the men there.
Early Tuesday morning Thomas
Lindsay Of the 800" was in the woods
near Welsh when he came across the
dead body Of an unknown man, with
no marks of violence about him and
nothing to show who he was The
man had evidently not been dead long,
but who he is and how he met such a
fate is still mystery.
Tuesday afternoon word was re-
ceived at the 500 that one of a party
Of hunters had been shot and killed
near Trout lake. A lone hunter, final
ly coming upon two others, mistook
them for deer and fired, killing one in
stantly and missing the other by a
matter of inches.

President Leaves Camp Without Bring
ina Down a Grizzly.

Smedes, Miss, Nov. I9.-President
Rooseyelt's bear hunt in Mississippi
/ Is ended and he has not had even a
shot at bear. Tuesday, the last day
OF the chase, was simply repetition
of the three preceding days, SO far as
his luck was concerned. Try as the
hunters would. they could not get a
bear within range OF the presidents
rifle.
The. dogs got a fresh trail early in
the morning, and the president and
Holt Collier followed 1t half dozen
miles to the Big Sunfiower river. The
bear crossed a mile below the ford,
they went to this point and believing
he was making for the canebrake on
the other side. they endeavored to
head 1t off. When they got into the
brake, however, they were disguised
to find that the bear had doubled on
his tracks and crossed the river still
further down. 1t was then l o'clock,
and as arrangements had been made
to break camp at $3.50 o'clock, the
president was reluctantly compelled
DO abandon further pursuit of the elu-
sive quarry.
Although the president has failed to
Kill bear on this expedition, he has
enjoyed his outing and speaks in high
praise of the hospitality that has been
accorded him. He philosophically at
tributed his ill-fortune to the tradi-
tional hunters luck and says the next
time he goes after bear he will arrange
to stay long enough for the luck to
change.
Upon the presidents arrival here
he found fully 500 people, practically
all the negroes from the surrounding
plantations, assembled TO greet him.
He thanked them for their demonstra-
tions, but made no remarks. They
waited around his car on the siding
until dark, hoping he would make a
speech.
At $50 the special train started for
Memphis, having added the record Of
a presidential bear hunt to the fame
Of Smedes, which first became known
to the outside world through the story
that here the experiment of teaching
monkeys to pick cotton was to be
tried.

PLANT IRREGULARITIES.
The Reason Fruit Bushes and Vines
Are Protected by Thorns.

Most persons think that the stem OF
contrary, the roots grow from the
stem. In the case Of plant that dies
down to the ground In autumn it Is
not the roots that send up Il new stem
In the spring, for part Of the true
stem remains underground on the root
crown, and from it grow up the bud
bearing stems In the spring. When
seed terminates, ii sends the light
loving stem upward and the dark low
ing root downward.
Saw off part of tree trunk and you
will find series of rings from the cen
ter to the bark, each ring marking q
year of growth. But these rings indl-
cate also which of the seasons through
which the tree has lived were dry and
which had plenty of rain. The rings
are always of unequal width. The
narrow ones represent dry seasons and
the wide ones seasons when the condi-
tons of growth were better by reason
of plentiful rain.
Every rose has its thorn, and the
same may De SAID or such fruits as
blackberries, raspberries, etc.. only
they are not real thorns, but prickles,
which strip off with the outer bark,
while thorns will not strip off, being
hardened, undeveloped branches.
But why do bushes and vines have
prickles? Many people wonder at it,
for they see no good reason for such a
growth. But there Is reason, as
there is in everything in nature. The
prickles are given to them as pro-
lection against plant eating animals.
The stems have a pleasant, aromatic
taste, and cows and sheep would be
sure to eat them in winter, when they
crave something fresh, If it were not
for the prickles.
