OLD INDIAN BATTLEFIELD.

George Remsburg believes be has dis
covered the scene IF a. great fight had
between the Iowa and Kansas Indians
near what is known as Oak Mills, in
Atchfson county: The Kansas Indians
held the country along the Missouri
river until about the time Of our revo-
lutionary war; when they were driven
away by the Sac7and Iowa tribes, which
came down from athe north and con-
auered the region. The Oak Mills Local
tfon is supposed to have been the place
of one of their greatest battles At this
point says the Kansas City Journal,
many human bones and implements Of
war have been plowed up. %
Kansas has been: the scane Of Indian
battles. fnnumerab4e and almost every
county has traditions of fights of this
character -:

WEST ERN cANADA's RE-

SOURCES.
Farming very sueeesaful.

By Western or Northwest Canada Is
country west of Ontario, and north of
Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana
Part of it is agricultural prairie, treeless
in places; park like in others, part is
genuine plains well adapted to cattle
ranches part requires irrigation for
successful tillage, most of 1t does not.
The political divisions Of this region are
the Province of Manitoba and the terri
atorial district OF Assinihoia... Saskat-
chewan, Alberta and Athabask. At
present, however, the latter is too re-
mote for immediate practical purposes.
: The general character of the soil of
Western Canada is a rich, black, clay
loan with clay subsoil. Such a-soil is
particularly rich in food for the wheat
plant. The subsoil is clay, which re-
tains the winter frost until it is, thawed
out by the warm rays of the sun and
drawn upward to stimulate the growth
of the young wheat, so that even in dry
seasons wheat is good crop. The clay
soil0also retains the heat of the sun later
in the summer, and assists in. the early
ripening of the grain. 1t is claimed that
cultivation has the effect of increasing
the temperature of the soil several de-
.gEees. assweu as thesair above it.
Western Canada climate is good-cold
in winter; hot in summer. but with cool
nights. Violent storms of any kind are
rare. The rainfall is not heavy. 1t
varies with places. but averages about
1T inches. It fails usually at the time
the growing crops need it.
The department of the interior, OF
tawa, Canada, has agents established at
different points throughout the United
States who will be pleased to forward an
Atlas OF Western Canada. and give such
other information as to railway rate,
etc, las may be required.
That. agriculture in Western Canada
pays is shown by the number of testi-
IhoRials given by farmers. The follow
ing is an extract madeofrom' letter from
farmer near Moose Jaws
"At the present time own sixteen
hundred acres of land, fifty horses. and
a large pasture fenced containing q
thousand acres. These horses run out
all winter and come in in the spring
quite fat. Aman with money judicious-
ly expended will make q competence

OZONE IN LAUNDRY WORK.
Establishment In Paris Uses It for
DisinfectinE All Clothes Up =
ON Their Arrival,

Ozone, q very material and necessary
part Of the atmosphere, has been found
OF greatest value as disinfectant in
some of the laundries of Paris. It has
been introduced under the auspices of
the city government A location in the
st. Honore Narket was given for the
purpose and the entire plant will revert
to the corporation at the expiration Of
twenty-five years, during which period
the entire works are to be open to in
spection by delegates and students Of
hygienic methods of laundering. The
ozone in this institution is used for the
purpose of disinfecting the bundles of
clothing Immediately upon their arrival
at the laundry.
The method is such that articles pass
rapidly through the various processes,
from the first reception to the final de-
livery. The electric current destined
for lighting the establishment and for
the "ozoners." which areyactuated by
eight motors. is developed by two verti-
cal engines of 55 horsepower. each,
coupled directly to two dypamos of 81

WOE IN ANTIsEPTIo FOOD.
There Is Danger In Some OF the Pre-
enutiOns Taken AEainsT
Disease.

A matter Of practical science 10 which
Legislation must be directed much more
seriously than has yet been done was
brought before the congress of medicine
recently held. at Madrid, reports the
London Telegraph. pr. Brouardal, Of
Paris, spoke strongly Of the dangers
arising from the addition of antfseptics
to wine, beer, cider. milk .syrups, butter,
fish. preserved fruits and other COM
modities which are in daily use as a food.
It is well known that salieylie acid, SAL
icylate-.of soda, supplies. berax, borie
acid, formalin and a variety of other
chemicals are employed to make the
substance In question keep" the pre-
tense being that they are used in such
small quantities as to be innocuous.
To this allegation DR. Brouardel OPP
posed two indisputable facts, that the
preservGcives employed are used IN far
larger quantities than the users admit.
and, secondly. that the continued con-
sumption of alimentary substances cen
tanning these antiseptic materials, even
in, very small proportions, becomes
gravely detrimental to- the human Or
ganism, amounting in the long run to
slow poisoning. Mans constitution has
not been made for the daily elimination
of minute doses of poison. In this in
sidious form of mischief may lie some Of
the blame for our physical degen eracy.
Apparently the evil is of such sort that
international measures may be neces-
sary to check it. Treatment OF food in
this manner should not be called adult
GRAFTON. but poisoning pure and simple.

senting the cause of Colombia, al
rived in New York during the day
from Washington General Reyes is
expected TO sail Saturday from this
port for Colombia, but said that he
did not know positively when he

General Reyes spoke in compliment
tary terms OF the reception extended

cept for the disappointment at not ac-
complshing the results which he had
wished for on his mission, he had en-
joyed his five weeks stay in this coun-

Hay, whom he considered a fine, but
very determined man" He said he
had decided that it was not his place

had with Secretary Hay.
1t is understood that while General
Reyes is going home because he ap-

ington as having failed he would pre-
fer to remain here until the senate

MAKE IMPORTANT MOVE.
Russians Occupy Terminus of New
Chinese Railroad.

Peking, Jan 13.--Authentic informa-
ton has reached the legations here
that two divisions OF Russian troops
are coming by the Siberian railroad.
A Russian force has occupied the
terminus of the new branch OF the
Shanhaikwan-Newch railroad, re-
Gently completed by the Chinese. The
terminus is 100 miles northwest OF
Newchwang and will be an important
strategic base in the event OF war.
The foreigners at Newchwang, fear
ing the town may become the scene OF
hostilities in case OF war, on account
or the presence there OF Russian
garrison, are urging their consuls TO
secure action on the part OF their gov
ernments TO maintain the neutrality
OF Newchwang, asserting that business
will be seriously impaired and adding
that, as the Russian occupation is not
recognized by China or by the powers,
the governments have ground for ac-
tion.

Chingwantao Tuesday carried the
families of many japanese merchants
