TON OF LUNGS INCURABLE
DOCTOR FRED KOL BENHEYER
Makes Statement Before Concluding
Session of International Con-
gress On tuberculosis.

st. Louis, Mo-, October DIR.
Fred kolbenheyer, of St. Louis, to-
day made the statement before the
concluding session Of the Internatlon-
al congress on tuberculosis that
phthisIs of the lungs can not be
cured. DR.. Kolbenheyer explained
the discoveries Of Professor Otto Won
Schroen of the royal university of
Naples. Professor Won Schroen was
unable to be present and sent his pa
per to be read. Professor van Schro-
Ell explained that a patient suffering
from consumption could live for
years in apparent health, but under
favorable circumstances the germ of
the disease would become active and
destroy the lung tissues.
In eases Of phthisis of the lungs,
the professor said. he had discovered
new germ. which together with the
germ that hitherto had been known to
doctors to destroy all animal life,
existed only in the cases of phthisis
of the lungs.
The following resolution was then
adopted;
Resolved, That a committe of four
be appointed who shall constitute a
committee on publicity, and who shall
be empowered to enlarge their num-
Der by enlisting the assistance and co
operation of prominent educators,
manufacturers, philanthropists, and
others who may be able in various
ways to assist in carrying ona strong
educational campaign against tuber-
culosis.
/ DR.. j. H. Kellogg. of Battle Creek,
Mich, was appointed chairman of the
committee.
Part of the session Yesterday was
devoted to the discussion of sanitar-
iluns suitable for the treatment of
p4ients afflicted with consumption
and methods to prevent infection.
The discussions embraced the medical
and surgical aspects of tuberculosis,
beneficial climatic conditions, and the
effect Of light and electricity on pa
tients In the course of treatment.
"A JOINT sessions of the congress and
the Medico-Legal society of New
York was held. f. J. Barrick, of
Ontario, delivered an address, in
which he favored a municipal SAM
| tarium. where. those tilicted with tub
erculosis could be treated, and where
they would not necessarily have to be
taken from their own positions and
families.

The Drawback of Invention.

There are many ingenious inven-
tions which are subject to some fatal
drawback; in fact, strictly speaking,
what we call an invention is hardly
an invention SO much as a discovery
"a discovery of the way in which
some new application may be made of
immutable laws. The devices which
do not work conflict with one or an
other of these laws. Among devices
which do not work may safely be
classed the Misrepresentation and
fabrications In which certain Demo-
cratic organs have so freely INDUCED
since the nomination of President
Roosevelt. The people have seen al
ready several of these untruths dis
proved. and they rae not likely to
put overmuch faith in future yarns.
An inventor once went to an officer
in the general staff of the army with

going to revolutionize modern war

and attach a powerful explosive to it,
with lighted fuse. and send it up

toward the camp of the enemy. The
explosive would go off, and there
would be no enemy any more.

LAST OF BUFFALO HUNTS.
Places on Advisory Board Are Con-
tested For by Indians in
Bison Chase.

What was probably the last buffalo
hunt in the United States took place
in Oklahoma territory recently. The
hunt was participated in only by In
dams, and the object Of it was to test
the skill Of the candidates in the tribe
for places on the advisory board of
Horse Chief, who was elected at the
dance held by the Poncas a year ago.
It has been the custom of the Ponca
Indians for centuries to hold sun
dance to elect their principal chief
and year later to hold buffalo hunt
to elect the members of his advisory
board. The Indians do not expect to
be able to have the buffalo hunt this
year owing to the scarcity Of the ami
mails. Thirty-eight years ago, when
White Eagle, the retiring chief, was
elected, the plains were covered with
buffaloes and the hunt was easily ar
ranged.
1t had been decided to find some
other plan, when the owners of the
"101" ranch volunteered to purchase
three buffaloes for the hunt. The In.
dams did not shoot the animals, but
divided into bands and tried to drive
the animals through goal. The ad-
visory board will be composed of In
dams from the most successful band.
A 60-acre field was fenced with woven
wire for the hunt

RESCUE EXPEDITION FAILS.

Engineer Brousneff. who was sent
out in the spring OF 1903, by the i'm
perial academy of sciences of st. Pc
tersburg, in company with Lieut. Kol-
chalk and number of experienced va
kuts and coast people, towards New
Siberia and Benefits island, to search
for the polar expedition headed by
Baron E. Toll, has returned there. Ba-
ron Toll has not been heard from since
he and his companions left the yacht
Zaria May %, 1902, in company with
two Yakuts and started for Bennett
island. The Brousneff expedition vis-
tied Bennett island, after Lieut.. Kol-
chalk had searched Kotelnyi island,
New Siberia and the Thaddeus islands.
No trace Of the Toll expedition was
found. Brousneff believes the members
Of the party died of cold and starva-
ton. He says Baron Toll killed only
six reindeer on Bennett island and adds
that the baron probably encountered
open water on his ice journey south to
New Siberia and there persisted.

EAST AND WEST TIME
PERPLEx1Na QUESTION Is Lu-|
CIDLY EXPLAINED.
Confusion Results from Necessity of
Arbitrary Line Where Day Shall
Change-china Fourteen Hours
Ahead Of Kansas City.

The perplexing question of differ
ence iii time is beginning to complicate
the far eastern situation. Dispatches
from Port Arthur, Chefoo and Toxic
frequently carry parenthesis announ-
cling the hour of sending according to
eastern time" Since the day in China
is about IA hours ahead of Kansas City
time, it is evident that a dispatch sent
from Chefoo early Thursday morning
might reach Kansas City before noon
on Wednesday, remarks the Star OF
that city.
ALI the confusion results from the
necessity of taking an arbitrary line
somewhere on the globe as boundary
where the day shall change But with
ut such a date line the world would be
in great distress 1t takes the earth
just "a hours to revolve all of its 800
meridians beneath the sun. So Is OF
them are traversed every hour. When
it is noon at Kansas City it is one
o'clock at a point 15 degrees east and
il o'clock at one Is degrees west OF
the town. The necessity of meridian
where the day shall change becomes

BANK ON A GRAVEYARD.
Cemetery in Which Grandparents Of
Murdered President Are Buried,
to Be Site for Institution.


After bitter clash between senti-
ment and commercialism in the village
of Worcester, N. Y, bank has secured
the right from the town and begun the
erection of a banking house upon the
site of the abandoned cemetery, where
the grandparents and great grandpar-
ents OF President Garfield are buried.
No special effort has been made to
find the remains of the murdered pres
ident's forbears for the reason that no
one was quite sure in just what place
in the quarter acre the graves were.
While the excavations were being made
many bones were discovered, and rot
ten pieces Of wood were found which
had been used as grave marks.
The graveyard is located in the heart
of Worcester, was many years ago
abandoned and had become overgrown
with weeds. When proposiu ons We're
made for the sale of the ground many
persons urged that the site be set apart
in memory of the late president. when
members of the Garfield family were
appealed to they expressed wish that
the decision be left to the citizens.

MhN LIVED AS a WOMAN
"Peg Leg Ann Blacksmith, Near
Watervliet, Mich, Conceals
Sex 42 Years.

Peg Leg Ann" is dead. and to the as
has been discovered that she was not d
woman, but man, who for nearly half
century has fooled the people of this
section as to her sex.
Ann" lived near Watervliet, Mich.
FOR AZ years. Her home was in the woods,
and while she was poor, she had the re-
spect of the entire community because
of her respect for herself and the way she
conducted herself. She never was seen
in anything but calico dress and sun
bonnet in summer, and the same style OF
clothing, although heavier, in winter
For 25 years she ran sawmill and black
smith shop, doing much of the heavy
work herself, but no one dared suspect
that she was man.
Peg Leg Ann" got her sobriqust from
the fact that she had peculiar limp in
one leg. Forty-two years ago she ar
rived here with band of Pottawatomie
Indians, and, liking the place, decided
to stay. She settled down at once as
though she had always lived here, and
soon became we'll known character in
the county. Her behavior was always
most circumspect, and she showed an
aversion to the company of both men and
women. The forest formed her constant
roaming place, and the denizens of it al
most her only friends, though she had
many acquaintances.

taken. Without such a date line, sup
pose is to be noon, Wednesday, at
Kansas City. Then it will be one
o'clock Wednesday Is degrees east, two
o'clock Wednesday afternoon 80 de-
grees east, II o'clock Wednesday night
165 degrees east, one o'clock Thursday
morning 1876 degrees east, and IL
o'clock Thursday morning 345 degrees
east. But Salt Lake City is about this
distance east of Kansas City. Hence
the absence of date line would lead
to the inconvenient fact that it would
be II o'clock Thursday morning at
Salt Lake City when it was noon
Wednesday at Kansas City.
To get around this difficulty the
world has agreed to establish q date
line where the day shall change arbi-
trarily with the least inconvenience to

tieth meridian east Of Greenwich, Eng

Bogus Stock and Its Menace to Pro.
ducers.

Many trusts are formed by those en-
gagged in the manufacture of certain
commodities. The turn in worn out
machinery and practically worthless
factories at ten or twenty times their
actual value, and upon this bogus
capital the trust is formed and stock
and bonds issued, which provide for
dividends or interest the same as
though they represented their face
value in actual money.
Wealth in the hands of the few has
destroyed the greatest nations Of an
tlquity. The traveller in Egypt sees
evidence on every side of a grand CIV
ilization, and instinctively asks what
has become Of it? The answer is told
In few words: it ceased to exist when
the wealth of the valley of the Nile
became the property Of two or three
per cent Of its inhabitants.
History repeated itself in the case
OF the Roman Empire. 1t died when
the few became the owners Of the
wealth OF the nation. When the Ro-
man government became an injury In
stead OF benefit to the great major
ity OF the people, there was no longer
any just reason for its existence, and
it soon ceased to exist. The descen.
dants of the men who carried the Ro-
man eagles in triumph all over the
world, stood by and saw their country
and their splendid civilization over
thrown by untutored savages.
The feudal oyer-lords obliged the
Roman people to render three days
service each week without wages. But
the exactions Of these over.lords were
no greater than the exactions of our
present day trust managers, who Gre
ate great corporations with bogus
capital charged as real money, and
then demand double prices, giving only
fifty cents worth Of commodities for
a dollar.
Every citizen, who desires the per-
petuity OF this government by the
people, and hopes that it may be con-
tinued with its usefulness unimpaired
for hundreds of years, to benefit and
help the on-coming millions of this
land, should array himself on the side
OF the wealth producers and insist up
on legislation which will put an end
to the depredations of bogus capital.

forty.fiye Separate Governments.

The United States consists of forty
five states, separated by state lines,
similar in productions, and only
diversified as the difference in climate
and soil as the interest Of each indi-
Gates. Were they each politically as
independent of each other as are
France and England, the United
States and Canada each would prob
ably have the curse of protective
tariff; Iowa and Illinois, Minnesota
and Wisconsin being similar in ALL
their productions, were the republic
can theory correct, would restrict
commercial intercourse by the erec-
tion of a high tariff wall. The manu-
featuring states as Pennsylvania and
the New England states would levy q
tariff upon our wheat, -four, beef,
butter, eggs and other products to
provide revenue for the state and
incidental protection to their people
engaged in like pursuits. Iowa would
levy tariff upon the iron, nails and
manufactures of Pennsylvania, upon
the boots and shoes of New England
and upon its fabrics generally; the re-
publican theory being thai producer
shall not be free to exchange that
which he does not want, and of which
he has surplus, for something that
he does want and of which he is short.
The unparalleled growth and pros
perity of the American states may be
attributed mainly to the free trade
that exists among these forty-tive
states. Ex-Congressman Updegraff in
aspeech in congress stated that 95
per cent. of all the productions of the
country were consumed by our owr
people thus showing the beneficial re
suits of free trade, and the un
hampered privilege Of. giving the ar
ticles we don't want for those we d.
want An imaginary boundary lint
extending from Lake Superior to tn,
Pacific ocean separates northwestern
Canada from the United States. 1

and is almost exclusively devoted t.
agriculture. Its farmers purchas
their plow', harrows, drills, discs, wa
CONS, harvesters and separators iron

vast wheat product of nor th-west Ca
NADIA is needed at the milling center
of this country to give employment t,
the thousands of idle men usual,
employed at the mills, and to max,
profitable the millions invested ii
these milling enterprises. II tina
people and territory owed allegiance
to the United States instead Of to Ca
NADIA, every American would tax
pride in its vast production of grail
without a word of disaster from it
coming to our markets. II there is
difference in the principle that shoult
govern, will some one point it out?
The only thing we can see is the es
tablished method of collecting tn
needed revenue for the support Of tn
governmental machinery. This be
ing chiefly through tariff, free trad
however desirable; is not possible, bu
every cent collected should be for rev
enue, with only such incidental pre-
lection as tariff levied for revenu
will afford.
