Mother Elephant Kills Offspring.

Baraboo Democrat: On Sunday,
about noon, a baby elephant was
born at Ringing Bros. headquarters
in this city, and Immediately after
ward the mother proceeded to de-
stroy her offspring. With her pom
derous feet she began to trample out
the life of her baby and was only
deferred in her work of destruction
by appearance of the keepers with
pitchforks and other weapons, and
then only for a few brief moments,
for they had no more than succeed
ed in beating off the mother ele-
plant and getting the little one into
an adjoining department of. the
building when the enraged brute
walked through the heavy door
which separated her from the object
of her fury as though it were but in
tervening space and completed her
work of destruction. Every effort
was made by those present to rescue
the victim of the mothers fury but
without avail as the big brute paid
heed to nothing except the work of
ending the life of her offspring.
The loss of the baby elephant is
keenly felt by the proprietors. This
was the second one born at head
quarters here and both by the same
mother. Besides they are said to be
the only two baby elephants ever
born in captivity.

Government Food Test.

Twenty-four young men have
offered themselves at the altar Of
their country They have signified
willingness to- eat any and all
kinds of food provided them at the
expense of the government without
asking any questions and agreeing
to abide by the consequences. They
are to do this for two reasons first
because they will obtain food free
during the progress Of the expert
ments, and second, in behalf of
science. One of the conditions is
that they shall not know what they
are eating. They will be divided
into two squads and each squad
will alternate between the ordinary
table and the training table. They
will be piled with all sorts of pre-
servatives, coloring matter and bak-
ing powders and the experiments
will continue for months. When
the experiments are through they
will be able to give people an inn
mense amount of useful informal
ton on this subject Of food and its
effects on the human system. The
United States government has au-
thorized series of experiments on
human beings, which will be begun
in Washington Nov. l, under the
direction of Professor FL. w. Wiley
of the department of agriculture.

A United States Army Sanitarium.

Congress has authorized the estab-
lishment Of sanitarium for disabled
soldiers at Hot Springs, S. D., the
famed health resort of the Black Hills
and Board of Managers has selected
site for the purpose, bordering on
the main street of the town, and in
Guiding two of the best known springs.
It's official name will be the Battle
Mountain Sanitarium.
The Board of Survey went into the
question of climate, water, etc., in a
most scientific and thorough manner
and has declared unqualifiedly in favor
of the great South Dakota resort as
being wonderfully we'll adapted for the
Governments purpose.
These springs are not a recent dis
covery the Indians having known their
healing qualities for almost 800 years.
In fact the Sioux about the year A. D.
1917 fought great battle here with
the tribe then in possession and drove
them out, to hold possession of the
healing waters from that day to the
time when, in 1877, they coded the land
to the y. S. Government. 1t is this
great fight of three centuries ago that
gives the name to the mountain near
the springs, and to the Governments
new hospital and resting place for
troops.
The material development of the
Black Hills region, and the sanitarlum
project is of much interest to the Chi

The appearance of Pres. Roose-
velt's Thanksgiving proclamation
brings to the minds of many people
the question Of turkeys. 1t is said
that turkeys are rather scarce this
season and that they will according
ly be dear. AS yet none have APP
neared on the local markets and
dealers say that the supply will be
small. This is due to the exceeding
Nv wet weather during the early
part of the season. Young turkeys
are rather delicate and cannot stand
damp weather. The result is that
farmers were unable to raise as
MANY as usual. Farmers hereabouts
report shortage and it is believed
this condition of affairs is general.
Thanksgiving day without turkey is
like the 4th of July without fire
crackers and it is to be hoped there
are more gobblers in existence than
have already been counted.

THE NAVAL CONTROVERSY.

The decision Of the President Ia the
Schey case will not change vote.
Even Grant did not affect the general
repute Of Fitz John Porter by his lat
ter-day conversion. So far as Samp-
son and Schley and the battle of San
tiago are concerned, the American peo-
Pile, sitting as a jury, have declared
that the admiral who took part with
the fleet in the cuban naval battle is
more entitled to credit for the result
than the admiral who was not there.
From that decision the President may
dissent but even he cannot appeal.
The plea that Sampson was In Law full
command Of the fleet cannot, perhaps,
be disputed. But ne was not in active
command when the battle came on
and that Is the point involved His
position was like Sheridan's when the
battle of Cedar Creek occurred. Sheri-
dan, at the time, being at Winchester,
twenty miles away. When he LETT the
field the active command naturally fell
to the next In rank, General Wright,
though the technical command remain
ed with him, No one, however held
sheridan responsible when the Con-
fedcratps stole a march on the sleeping
Federals at Cedar Creek and drove
them from their camp. The blame fell
on Wright, and had the latter turned
on the enemy and driven him back,
surely the credit would not have gone
to sheridan; and the latter was too
great a man 10 have claimed il. The
laurcls would have belonged to the
commander in the field; not to the alb
seutce,

he used to deprive Meade Of the credit
for Gettysburg. when the battle was
on Meade could not do much hut hurry
up his reserves. Siclles acted indie
pendcntly in scizing the key of the bat

what to do with his artillery at criti-
cal moments: Hancock, the superb

burg was battle of subordinate gem

Irrespective of the further fact that
two superior officers had been for days
in close contact with him-Abraham
Lincoln. whom sherman said was Il
greater commander than any of his
generals, and who had put Meade in
Pennsylvania to check the advance OF
Lee: and Edwin NJ. Stanton, the iron
Secretary az War.
No one knows better than Sampson
that his command" at Santiago frll
far short of what he wanted IL to be.
The bitterness of his disappointment
comes of his not having been in
Schley's place when Ceryera's flight
began. what was SChley's place? 1t

CARE OF THE BODY.

A doctor In Kansas is delivering lee
lures on the best means of caring FOR.
the human body. He says we eat [, o
many things, and gives a novel illus
tration of this fact. The whale, he
says, has seven stomachs with which
to digest all kinds of fish. The COW
has four stomaChs for the digestion Of
the different kinds of grass. The dog
has one stomach for the digestion Of
meat. The monkey has one stomach
for the digestion of nuts and fruits.
That makes thirteen different kinds OF
stomachs required for as many differ
ent kinds of food, yet man will shovel
all these foods, and more, too, into
one stomach and expect IL to digest
them well. one rule laid down by the
doctor is that we should eat nothing
that is hot when IL is cold that is,
pepper, ginger, mustard and such
warm cold things. 1t is said by a

tor, that pepper has six ftimes the

TAKING BIG CHANCES.

II is remarkable that the govern

Such a vessel should have twin
