ARSENIC TO POISON TREES.
Simple Method to Get Rid of UnweI'
come FOLIAGE.

A gardnerer discovered the fact re-
Gently that trees are often sent to an
untimely death by poison, usually ar
senic.. The reason for this does not
appear until one hears the mans ex-
PLANTATION. Suppose man has rented
house which has too much shade,
the law will not allow him to have
one or more of the trees cut down.
without the consent of the owner. AS
1t often happens that tenants and
landlords hold different views on the
subject of shade the trees remain as
bone of contention. 1t is then that
the gardner is called on to administer
a dose Of poison, for when tree is
dead the tenant may have it removed.
Five cents worth of arsenic is suf-
ficient to kill large tree. A hole is
made in the trunk, the arsenic drop
ped in and nature does the rest. 1t
never fails.

SLIGHTLY in Error.

Sir Henry Howorth, the we'll known
archaeologist and historian, was din
ing out and found himself sitting next
to a young lady who Immediately at
tackled him. by saying: ooh, Sir Hen
ry, am so glad to have met you, for
l want your advice about dog of
mine" MY dear young lady" quoth
Sir Henry, Il know nothing about
dogs" "Oh, yes you do. have been
told that you have written book on
'Mongrels' and mine isn't a really
well-bred dog" Sir Henry smiled, for
he is great Asiatic authority and had
written on "Mongols," not mongrels.

Greed to seize somebody else's hon
ors is politely called ambition.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
1907. package it is because he has
q stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose Of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

Report Says laps Eave Begun Offensive
at Rhukaen.
DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED SOON,
Port Arthur is More Isolated Than
Ever and the Only News From
That Place Comes by the Way Of
Vladivostok.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1.-The absence
Of the emperor, who has gone to
Odessa, is causing even a greater
dearth of official news from the front
than has been experienced heretofore.
Communication with Mukden has
been practically suspended, and st.
Petersburg is therefore suffering
another period of anxiety and suspen-
sion, Just when the intimation had
been given that important develop
ments were imminent between the ar
mics of General Kuropatkin and Field
Marshal Oyama. Port Arthur is more
isolated than ever, and the only news
from that place comes by way of
Vladivostok. 1t contains, however, the
hopeful intimation that the garrison
is confident of being able to hold out
until the first of the year.
1t was reported last night that Cen
eral and Duke Nicholas Nicholae-
vich's commission as commander Of
the Manchurian armies has been made
out, but the statement cannot be con-
firmed. The report was coupled with
the revival of the story that Viceroy
Alexieff will return to St Petersburg
and become chancellor of the en-
pire. The latter report is not credit
ed in the best informed circles, al
though it is admitted that the vice
roy will probably return if General
and Duke Nicholas is gent to the Far
East.
The only position to which he could
succeed, in the opinion of those who
believe that AleXieff still enjoys the
emperors confidence, is that of chan
cellor.
The cruiser Oleg, which was pre-
pairing for sea at Cronstadt, broke her
cylinder while making her trial. trip,
and probably six months will be re-
quired to make the necessary repairs.
The other ships of the Baltic squadron
are still engaged in target practice
at the fleet maneuvers at Reval.
Mr.. Berg, representing Chas. b.
Flint and company, OF New York, is
here, it is reported, in connection with
some business with the admiralty.
st. Petersburg,-News has been re-
ceived here from Mukden to the effect
that the japanese have at last begun
the offensive. They have captured
Da pass, and are pressing on General
Kuropatllins left flank. The war Of
flee is unable to confirm this officially
because Kuropatkin's dispatches are
following the emperor but the Associ-
ated Press is informed by the general
staff that all indications point to the
news being correct. 1t is believed the
Russians abandoned Da pass without
serious resistance. Several other
passes of the Da range, eastward of
Bentsiaputze, twenty miles southeast
of Mukden, are also in the hands of
the japanese. Kuropatkin is evident
ly drawing in his forces to the less
mountainous country northwestward,
where he may decide to give battle.
In the meanwhile, sharp fighting is
regarded as imminent southeast of
Mukden, whence the japanese are ex-
pected to deliver their main attack,
the flank movement from the west be-
ing of secondary Importance.

Music Halls The Fad,

Paris, like London, is deserving the
theaters for the music halls. The the
aters are too expensive, the runs of
plays too long; the star" system
tends to make the program a one per-
son affair, and, in brief, the theaters
bore the people-the music halls
amuse them.

Employ Fewer Servants.

There has been considerable de-
crease in the number of domestic
servants in Paris since the law was
passed taxing families in an increas-

Der of servants. Much of the work
is now done by women or men who
are hired by the day.

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

It is unusual that single institution in q
city Of 5000 people will overshadow IN i'm
portance every other interest, but such is
the case with the American School OF
Osteopathy, and A I. Still Infirmary at
Kirksville, Mo.
A stranger in KirkSville Is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the town is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
Kinks vile has been made what it is to-day
by DIR. Still and his famous School and
Infirmary. 1t is the largest patronlzed I'M
endowed institution of its kind in the
United States.
DR.. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study. There are
over 1000 graduates and they are prac-
ticing in every state and territory OF the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy is substituted for that. So
thorough is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by the students.
AT the Inflrmary, patients from every
part OF the country and with almost every
form of disease are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to Kirksville has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re-
lief by the science of Osteopathy. BY the
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as q safe and
rational method of cure. Several years ago
n free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department of the school
and this is still in operation. Hundreds of
the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for
treatment. are treated every afternoon by

A Bit of History.

Just after the completion of the
Louisiana purchase of 1S03-which is
commemorated by the worlds fair OF
this year at st. Louis-the American
Congress, urged by President Jeffer
sons private secretary, Merriwether
Lewis, was appointed commander of
this expedition, and he chose as his
associate Captain William Clark, an
old army friend.
A hundred years ago this month
these intrepid men, with a small party
of about thirty explorers, were well
away on their journey up the Missouri
river as far a. the mouth of the
Platte. In May Of the following year
they had their first glimpse of the
Rockies, and before that year C1805)
was ended they had crossed the great
range and pushed on to the Pacific
ocean by way Of the Columbia river
During certain parts of their journey
they endured great hardships, and fol
fifteen months they were cut off from
all communication with the outer
world.
1t was one of the most famous OF
American expeditions, and to the
pluck and perseverance of this little
band of explorers we owe the acqui
sition, later, of the territory now EN-.
braced in the three great States of our
northwestern Observation-Disclosures.
