INDIANA MANS CIRCULAR BARN
Round as q Drum and Without a Post
or Pillar Support.

Lapel. Ind, Dec. IA circular barn,
one of the most unique structures ever
erected en- an Indiana farm, has been
completed by James Sears. whose farm
is near this place. The walls. or rather
wall OF the barn, is twenty-five feet
high and sixty feet in diameter. the
roof running to cone. There is no
such thing as a post or pillar in the
barn. In order to prevent the weight
of the roof from spreading the walls.
Sears, who Is practical blacksmith,
forged three heavy steel hoops, and
with these he encircled the structure,
as band would be put around big
water tank. The barn is cyclone proof,
for Boreas has no chance to get hold
on the structure.
Inside driveway runs clear around.
The stalls for horses and cattle are
arranged in circle. there is a big feed
ing room in the center and a silo ex,,
tends from the ground to the roofs
cone.
Mr.. Sears claims that he can shelter
more stock and store away more feed
in the barn than in the ordinary farm
structure.

vicinity. 1t was learned that at one
coast point the Cartagena embarked a
bullocks. some corn and fifty pieces of
zine roofing, but no information could
be obtained as to the direction taken
by the cruiser thereafter. 1t has been
reported that Colombian troops were
landed at a certain point on the Pana-
ma coast. but the Atlanta was present
at this place a the time when, accord
ing to the report. the troops should
have landed, and saw nothing.
The naval officers found the attitude
of the Indians to be Indifferent and
even repellent. The traditions of the
Indians for centuries have been against
permitting aliens to land in their ter
ritory, and these traditions they still
maintain. They often declined to an
swer the questions of the interpreters
and on several occasions their informa-
ton was found to be misleading.
The information obtained by the At
lanta and Mayflower indicates either
that the Colombian troops have been
returned TO Cartegena or they have
landed at some point on the coast be-
tween Cartagena. and in the gulf OF
Da rien and may be proceeding thence
toward Cacas.
The Atlanta sailed again towards the
gulf of Darien yesterday afternoon and
will continue a careful patrol of the
coast.
1t would be impossible for the Carta-
gena and the General Pinzon to enter
the Atrato river. because the mouth
of the river has six foot bar. The on

Watering Arid Lands.

energies toward legislation for irriga-
ton, and finally. just before the close OF
a service of Ten years in that body. had
the satisfaction of seeing the great
irrigation measure. which he had ia
thered. enacted into law. On every oc-
casion NeWands was ready with an
argument or a word in favor of water
ing the arid lands. When someone ask
ed him how he stood on the Philippine
question, he replied with this epigram,
which helped to make him famous:
Il think it would be much better to
irrigate the arid lands than to irrgate
the foreign lands.
Senator Newands' hobby now is the
annexation of Cuba. Last spring ne
introduced in the house resolution,
the purpose of which was to invite the
island to become part of the Amer
lean union. Recently he introduced a
similar resolution in the senate, and in
addressing himself to it in that body.
he reached climax by eXclaimlng:
This argument furnishes every kind
of fuel that eloquence needs.
Two hours later a stenographlc re-
port of the speech was handed to the
Nevada statesman. He read it over
admringly as one always does when
reading his favorite author. until he
reached the place where the sentence
above quoted should have appeared.
He was Mortified when he read: This
argument furnishes every kind OF food

The joke was too good to enjoy alone
and he passed the paper over to Sena-
tor Hale. who, after reading IL, re-
marked dryly: II doubt If even eie-

RED WINTER WHEAT.
Rem arkabIe Results of Experiments in
Spring Wheat Section.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Dec. 14-Ole
Molskness. one of the progressive far
mers who lives near Colman, northeast
of Sioux Falls. has been experimenting
with a variety of red winter wheat.
Last season he sowed Ave acres, from
which he this fall threshed a total of
117h bushels, an average of twenty
three and one-half bushels to the acre.
There were no Indications of smut,
and the Hessian fly did not work in the
field. Notwithstanding the pests did a
great deal of damage in all the sur
rounding fields of spring wheat. G. H.
Allen, an experienced grain man of Col
man. was shown Il sample of the red
winter wheat and pronounced 1t equal
to any No. 1 northern he has ever
seen grown in South Dakota.
Molskness sows the grain on the
stubble and covers it with disk har-
row, which leaves the surface in an
excellent condition to catch the snow.

Daring Work of Two Bandits
In Galena, Kansas, Where
Sheriff Is Robbed
COMPELLED TO BOARD TRAIN
After Shipping the officer Out Of 'Town
the Robbers Hold Up the Station
Agent and Finally Hire Livery Rig
and Drive Out of tn. State = Other
Matters.

| Galena, Kan, Dec 1.-two bandits
| held up Sheriff Charles l.. Raines OF
| Cherokee county, in the station a.
Baxter Springs early Sunday morning
and after relieving him of all his money
and revolver, compelled him to board
a train which was pulling out of the
city. When the train had departed
the desperadoes walked into the station
and took everything of value, white
the agent stood against the wall with
his haHds above his head. The bandits
escaped.
Sheriff Raines was on his way to
Columbus. Three miles out of Baxter
Springs he noticed man whom he rec
ognized as Clarence Cunningham, one
of the six men who recently broke Jail
at Columbus. When the train stopped
at Baxter Springs Cunningham left thu
coach and entered the depot. Sheriff
Raines followed him into the station
and covered the fugitive with re-
volver.
Cunningham did not move. but in
stantly d confederate leveled a re-
volver at the sheriff.
Not so fast, general" exclaimed the
bandit, throw UP your own hands. You
don't want any prisoners around
here"
Raines saw that he was cornered ana
up went his hands While the uniden-
titled man kept him covered, Cunning
ham relieved him OF the revolver, his
companion then marched the sheriff out
Of the station to the train, which was
pulling out. and commanded him to
board it. AS the train left the hold ups
tossed Raine's revolver into the vesti
bule after him with the EXPLANATIONS:
Here take your little gun, It's too
small for our business.
After robbing the station they went
to q livery stable, where they engaged
team to drive in the country to look
at some cattle which they said they
wished to buy. They said they would
be back by o'clock.
1t is thought they have driven into
Missouri. A telephone message was
received last evening from Senesa, No.
stating that two men driving a team
corresponding in description to that Of
the bandits had been seen there. 1t IS
supposed that the men abandoned the
team and boarded train for the Indian
Territory or somewhere in the south
west.
Cunningham was caught here some
time ago In an alley after he and a
companion had put up desperate re-
sistance. In the darkness his compan-
ion escaped down dark alley. When
Cunningham was taken to the police
station 1t was found that he had a
pint of nitro glycerine and complete
safe-blowing outfit on his person.

just Oxygen.

Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen-no
drugs, no alcohol in it. It is the discovery
of PAUL., the great German chemist, who
spent 40 years on it. His object was to
get such an excess Of oxygen in staple
form into the blood that no germ could
live in any membrane or tissue.
Oxygen Is life to an animal-the very
source Of vitality. We would die in three
minutes without it. In this liquid form
its effects are exhilarating, purifying,
vitalizing. But germs are vegetables, and
this excess of oxygen is deadly to vege-
table matter.
