was undoubtedly immune from black
ley, while the long horns, which a
few years ago formed the great ma
jorlty OF the herds of the West, pos
sessed great powers of resistance to

Of minor Importance ten years ago,
although there is evidence of it's re-
peated appearance at longer or
shorter intervals among the herds in
various parts OF the country.
"The losses were looked upon as un-
avoidable and did not In magnitude
compare with the losses which now
adays may befall the cattle owner in
the infected districts who neglects to
protect his high grade and full-blood
ed stock against this disease. The
recrudesence OF blackleg dates back
to the time when the stockmen began
to improve the native breeds with
strains OF pure bred cattle, and as
the long-legged, long-horned, far
roaming beasts gradually became
transformed into the deep-chested,
beefy and more indolent cattle of the
present day, there also occurred Il
gradual retrogression in the vitality
and in that power of resistance to
diseases which charac terized the ma
tive stock. In certain sections OF the
country where the disease has been
practically unknown or where it oc-
Cured only mt intervals OF two. three
or four years, it gradually became
more and more prevalent until at
the present time it has become OF
daily occurrence.
The report of the government says
that the mastering OF blackleg is not
a hopeless undertaking, although 1T
will take some time to do it.-F ort

succeeded. When this Is done It will
be the greatest thing for the cattle
industry of America. They have
some characteristics that are very
valuable to this interest. Besides
their great weight and the extra
quality of the meat, they are: First,
most probably immune from black
leg; second, they never eat loco;
third, they never lie with their backs

The government report says that
it cannot be doubted that blackleg Is
on the increase and that II 1t were
not for vaccination the loss would be
appalling. The Increase in mortality
from a disease which must have pre-

doubt due to differentiation of the

He was sent back to his dressing room

scene of the second burlesQue, when Shay
dropped a handful of dust down the back

the chorus for a week. Geier took q
hand and showered Tindell with hand

Like Humpty Dumpty, "Plugger'' John

like the hero Of the nursery rhyme he was
not sitting quietly on a. wall, swaying
his legs and thereby losing his balance.
It was in the very midst of remarkable

seemed impossible. But it requires some
thing more than these prerequisites to
accomplish such a remarkable feat. Prac-
tice alone makes 2erfect.
Just as Larsen's wheel struck the in
cline of the. loco, Fitzpatrick, who also
failed of the task early in the week,
cried: Grip your bars Tight" his eagle
eye having detected slight swerve of the
leading wheel.
But it was too late. The terrific pace
had loosened Larsen's firm grip of the
handle bars and his wheel quit the: tape.
Nevertheless, he managed to keep his
mad mount until he had reached the very
apex Of the loop, rs feet and s inches III
height when his wheel became an airship.
He took q. flyer clear of the big net
stretched beneath for just such an emer-
gency. xi
The spectators who saw the mishap
held their breaths and turned away in
horror, convinced that Larson would be
killed. He :struck the ground all in a
heap, having parted company with the
wheel in transit, and lay stunned and
breathles for thirty seconds.
AS they were about to pick him up he
regained his feet ard remarked in be-

In addition to this, there are three
trust companies In Minneapolis which re-

This great discrepancy is partly ac-
counted for by the dread of savings banks
felt to an extent in St. Paul as result
of some disastrous failures in the panic

and prosperity generallyit Is felt to be re-
markable that the St. Paul concerns DO

Thomas A. Edison

Is one of the greatest living inventors
He was born in Milan, Ohio, February,
iS47.. He<lhad little education, and when
quite young became aNnewspoy on rail-
road. His early life and struggles read
like romance and are interesting to
every American youth. Edison's cleo
trical inventions have been many, but
next, perhaps, in Importance to his per-
lection Of the ouadruplex telegraph in
jstrument are his improvements upon the
electric light. The idea Of lighting rail-
road trains by electricity was a product
of Edison's brain and dates back only a
comparatively few years. This system
may be found upon the through trains of
the Milwaukee, the first road In the west
to substitute electricity for the OIL lamp.
To-day all its Chicago trains are thus
lighted and its celebrated Pioneer limited,
the famous train Of the world, is also the
best lighted train in the world Students
of electrical science would profit by an in
spection Of this wonderful. train as it
leaves the twin cities for Chicago and
Milwaukee any evening.
Edison is still at work upon various in
ventions and his laboratory at West Or
