DR.. T.W. BLANKENSHIP
LEARNS INDIAN SECRETS
Discovers Valuable Properties of
Herbs and Roots

HELENA, Mon, Sept. 29.-Dr. J. w.
Blankenship. botanist at the State Agri-
cultural College and experiment station.
a Bozeman, who has charge OF the col
lection of the States botanical exhibit
tor the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
at st. Louis. next year, is making coll
lection of the herbs and roots which are
used by Montana Indians for medicinal
and other purposes. which promises TO
give most satisfactory historical and
scientific results.
I'm addition to the fact that this col
lection will be somewhat unique and will
prove attractive at the fair said Dr.
Blankenship, this work has. l believe,
great historical and scientific value
which cannot be overlooked. There is
no question that some of the herbs used
by the Indians are of great medicinal
value, while in addition to this the In
dams learned Just what berries are
healthful food and what berries and
other plants are poisonous.
1t is not generally known that in
years gone by the Indians grew sun
flowers and used the seeds for making
bread, and that they also grew a wild
tobacco, which. while of narcotic
basis. was considerably weaker than
the tobacco now grown for commercial
purposes

TRUST GERM INVESTS
NEBRASKA CHURCHES
Agreement Made That Viii Force Small Congre-
cations to Seek Larger Folds.

OMAHA, Neb.. Sept. 29.-The trust
habit has spread to the churches. The
ministers at Lincoln, Neb.. this week
devised an ironclad agreement that will
drive out the small church and return
greater revenues 20 the larger, longer
established house of worship.
The agreement is aimed at the ex-
clusion of several projected new par
ishes. The Lincoln ministers take the
stand that the field is already crowded
and the cause of religion Is harmed by
the proposed increase in the number OF
churches.
Some of the ministers object to the
use of the word trust" applied to their
association. One admitted frankly that
the organization has all the features and
aims Of the biggest trusts incorporated
under the New Jersey laws

ton with the association" said he. but

Lafayette-Hagenbeck's Animals.


The Carl Hagenbeek Trained Animal
Company entertained a good-sized audi
ence last evening at the Lafayette, and
as is usually the case with animal
shows, the children were out in force.
The evening was particularly interesting
to the grown-up student of natural his
tory. whose knowledge of wild beasts
had been acquired in theory. The show
proved full complication of the de-
gree to which some animals can be
trained. whether they be pigs, goats.
sea lions. or Ieopards.
The entertainment is a combination
of comedy and the legitimate. from an
animal point Of view. The first Offering
Is Anita Gilke's company of cockatoos
and macaws. giant parrots and amarras.
which furnish most amusing specially.
Acrobatie feats are INDUCED in by the
feathered performers. promenades and
drives are enjoyed. and the act closes
with an exciting parrot-house fire. The
parrot landlord calls the parrot engine
company, which directs a diminutive
stream of water on the flames, while the
owner Of the burning residence braves
the heat and smoke and throws furniture
and bedding out of the window at a
merry rate

appearing at alternate performances.
ride on the back of CeyIon elephant
and incidentally jump through hoops OF
flame.
The third act is a real barnyard
comedy. Lii Kerslakc appearing with a
half dozen trained pigs. which have a
remarkable faculty OF doing the wrong
thing at the wrong time. The two clown
pigs are laugh provoking from the time
they trot onto the stage until they are
driven of by their keepers. The act is
original and interesting
Clown Schubert. with his trained
goats and two fox terriers. entertained
the audience for a few moments. With
one or two exceptions. however, the
animals seemed to be new 10 their work
and the act lacked that harmony which
characterized the other offerings.
The last act before the intermission
was by far the best on the program. and
introduced Herman Boyer. world famous
as one of the most intrepid trainers of
the Hagenbeck school His family con-
sisted of a lion-tiger hybrid. Cape lion.
a Somaliland lion, two royal bengal
tigers, Corean tiger. a Congo leopard.
two silver punas from South America.
and three large German boar hounds
The group not only dwell together in
harmony but perform many wonderful
tricks. Boyer goes among them as one
might pass through crowd of friends
at the entrance TO the theater. turning
his back upon any and all of them, and
closing his act by laying PROSTATE on
their backs.
The evening concludes with an act by
Charles Judge Alaska and his Juggling
seals, and a group OF eight monstrous
polar bears in charge Of John Dudak.
The show is interesting 10 both old and
young. and particularly enjoyable from
the fact that it is a decided novelty.

Bad Colds are Prevalent.

There seems to be an unusual
amount of illness about town, not
withstanding the bracing and salu-
brious weather which has character
lied the winter thus far. The indis-
position generally takes the form OF
severe colds or grip. The symptoms
of the two latter ailments are very
much alike, except that grip, as its
name implies, is much more severe
and tenacious and when it once takes
hold is apt to hang on for a month or
more. The patient is unfit for work
of any sort and is apt to become quite
respondent and discouraged over the
slow recovery.
