Thinks the wife, to have the wedding ring slip from the finger. Something is going to happen"
 Something is haPbeRirg That ring could hardly be pulled from the finger when 1t was put there a few years ago. Now it slips off by its own weight How thin the fingers have grown And the fingers don't grow thin alone How thin form. Almost uuconsciously the wife has. been fading and wasting away. The strength given to children has never been regained. Drains which should have been stopped have been neglected.
 That IS a common experience with women, unless some friend has shared with them the secret of the strengthening and healing power of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It regulates the periods, dries the drains wkich undermine the strength, heals inflammation and ulcera- ton, and cures female weakness. It makes the baby's advent practically painless and gives vigoT and vitality to nursing mothers.

The officer has found also evidence to connect more MeXicans with this case. One of them is q young man who was in jail at Noga!es. having been held there for escaping from a jail on the Mexican side. While escaping he was shot twice There were some negotiations for his return to Sonora but nothing came of them and he was finally turned loose.
 CHINCH 8UGS.-It appears that Arizona is to be afflicted with the chinch bug, a pest that has given a great deal of trouble to agriculturists in the grain growing states, unless prompt measures are taken against the insect. It will be remembered that the wheat fields of the upper Gila valley were greatly damaged last season by some sort of an insect pest which was at first said to be the chinch bug, but the identity of the insect was later de- nied. From the Solomonville Bulletin it appears that the pest was the chinch bug and that he is preparing for an eff fective campaign the present spring. The Bulletin says It is stated that in the fields throughout the valley when old and dead trees and logs are burned that beneath the bark is found the chlnch bug, where this destroying in- sect is awaiting the coming of warmer weather to again swarm down upon the wheat crop in this valley, causing the loss of thousands of dollars to the farmers. One incident is cited when an old dead willow stood in a field with the bark peeling off. The farmer in question was burning the brush there abouts and the willow caught fire. Wishing to save the tree for fuel, the farmer began stripping off the burn inc bark and was surprised to find it infested with countless chinch bugs Wn,ch had been warmed by the fire and were on the move. This condition of affairs calls for prompt action on the part of the farmers in this section. un- less it is desired that a similar calam- ity to that in 1903 should be visited up- on this section. Our informant sug- gested that the farmers in this valley should immediately burn all the dead trees whose clinging bark makes a de- hghtful retreat for the deadly chinch bug, likewise the old logs in their vii cinity and along the banks. of the canals"

CIVIL WAR ROSTER.
War Department Denies Gov. Mon
 tague's Request for Proof Sheets

Richmond, Va, Feb. 14.-The war de- partment has sent Governor Montague letter. denying his request and that or the representatives of other southern states for proof sheets of the muster rolls of the Confederate army, now be- ing compiled with those of the Union army. The letter says that the law does not permit such a modification of the roll for the reason that this course would require much additional clerical work and thus delay the completion of the rolls.
 The letter urges that every COnfeier- ate roll found anywhere be sent at once to the department. The secretary in concluding his letter states that he will adhere to his original rule as to both the Confederate and Federal rolls and not allow anything to go in which is not an official record of the civil war period.

TO TAKE TO COURT.
Question About Discriminating
Against Farmers Who Ship

Since the state board of railroad COM
missioners has decided that it is pow
'erlesS to aid farmers who are turned
down by railroad companies when they
ask for elevator sites or for shipping
facilities from the railroad companies
other than private elevators which
they believe treat them unfairly, the
Farmers Cooperative Shipping associ-
alton proposes to take the matter into
the supreme court. In just what shape
this will be done Is not yet determined,
but it will probably be in the shape of
mandamus suit against the railroad
companies. An action of this kind was
brought in the Nebraska supreme court
against the Burlington, but before it
was decided the railroad company capit-
ulated and gave the farmers associa-
ton all that it asked for.
The farmers association asked Tie
Kansas board of railroad commission
ers for an order compelling the Santa
Fe Railroad company to grant it ele-
vator sites on a switch on theeright of
way at certain poitns. If it couldn' t
get this it wanted an order compelling
the railroad company t. furnish ware
houses for the shipment of grain the
same as for the shipment of other
freight. The board decided that it has
on power to make the orders asked
for.

Four Other Inmates of Building
Badly Injured.

Kansas City, No. Feb. 11.-Miss Jes-
sic Averill, aged 20, a clerk in mil
linery store, was burned to death and
four others were injured, one perhaps
fatally in a fire today that destroyed Il
three story apartment house at Fif-
teenth and Harrison streets in the resi-
dence district, in the southeastern part
of the city. There were several mar
row escapes and many jumped from
second and third story windows
THE INJURED
Miss Ida Parish, badly burned and
injured internally: possibly fatal.
Miss Lena Smelling, face and hands
burned serious.
Miss Margaret Shaw, face and head
burned. serious.
Miss Minnie Taylor, head and hands
badly burned. arm broken.
The fire was started by the explosion
of a gasoline stove in Miss AverilPs
room. She was burned to a coal and
her body fell out of a window through
which apparently she had attempted
to escape. Miss Averills parents live

James Garth aroused the rooners on
his floor, running through the flames,
and doubtless saved many lives. He
was burned about the hands and face,
but not seriously hurt. Chief Trickett
asserts that the death of Miss Averill
and the injuries of the others resulted
from the fact that the building was
not provided with fire escapes

RADGES AND THE TREES.
What Hs Thinks of Plan to Destroy
Insects.

The Forestry club of Potwin has made
arrangements to bring to Topeka from
Chicago a specialist who will make an
address on the subject of the treatment
of shade trees which are troubled with
insect pests. Prof. Grey. the entomolo-
gist, will appear in the Auditorium. He
will spend several days in Topeka with
members of the Forestry club in demon
strating methods of destroying injurious
insects Considerable interest has been
manifested in Potwin in the protection
of the beautiful trees which line the
streets of the suburb. In previous eff
forts to anticipate the inroads of foliage

the property owners have encircled their

WILL COST $4,000
To Clean Up the Burned Dis
trict of Baltimore.

Baltimore, Feb. 11.@Three thousand
laborers reported to Street Cleaning
Commissioner Wyolxes today and after
each had been provided with a work
mans ticket they were divided into
squads placed under bosses and march
ed into the burned business district.
Accompanying the workmen were
hundreds of carts and trucks. By 8
o'clock this forenoon they were busily
at work in the debris piling the bricks
and broken timbers on the sidewalks
where they We're then loaded into carts
to be hauled away.
Besides this force several hundred rail-
road workmen under the supervision of
contracting engineers of the Pennsylva-
MIA and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, be-
gan to take down the iron pillars and gir-
ders left standing around the ruins which
in their present position constitute an ele-
ment of danger.
Thus the enormous task of bringing or
der out of chaos in the devastated city
has been formally inaugurated, and it is
not to be doubted that it will be resolute-
Iy continued.
The magnitude of this work may be re-
allied when it is estimated that the mere
cleaning away of the debris will cost
about s., 600. 600.
A number of individual merchants and
bankers have already made definite ar
rangements for the erection of new struc-
lures Fully a thousand firms have found
quarters in other parts of the city

Observation-Disclosures Rixey, Ossler
and Carter.
Practically the only favorable feature
of the bulletin is that there is no COM
plicatiOnS in the case. Senator Hanna s
temperature has increased materially
since yesterday, but this is said not
to have been unexpected in the regu-
lar course of the disease. His pulse
has increased considerably and it is to
be noted that the physicians bulletin
does not announce, as ordinarily it has
announced, that his general condition
is favora BILE.
1t is said by the physicians that the
increase in the heart action is due to
the weakness of the patient and is sig
nif1cant only of that.
Senator Hanna'S weakness is posi-
tive attributed by his physicians to
the regular run of the fever. Indeed
they have manifested some surprise
that he has been able thus far to main
tain his strength in view of his contin-
ued high temperature. The senator S
condition Throughout last night was
better than it was the night before.
For "a hours he has retained on his
stomach the nouriShment given him.
This is given him now in the form of
koumiss-a preparation of fermented
milk. During the early hours of the
day he slept quietly and naturally
much of the time. Not the Aast evil
dence of delirium has been manifest at
any time. When the climax of the fe-
yer will be reached can not be foretold
but it is thought not to be far dis
tant.

THE TRUE STORY.
Minister Allen Cables Washington
About Battle of Chemulpo.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Two cable
grams were received at the state de-
partment today from Minister Allen at
Seoul, dated February 10, both refer
ring to the naval engagements off Che
mulpo on the 2th and 9th. The min
lister in his first dispatch reports the
arrival of 81 Japanese naval vessels at
Chemulpo on the afternoon of the 9th.
Two Russian naval vessels, the Variag g
and Korietz. were in Chemulpo harbor
and attempted to prevent the landing
of Japanese forces. but with no sue
cess. The foreign naval vessels, the
minister says, were generally leaving
the harbor. There was a report that
the Japanese naval vessels had cap
tured transports off Makpo on the 9Th
The second dispatch says: "A run
ming naval engagement took place at
Chemulpo harbor about noon. The Va
riag and Korietz again attempted to
escape, but failed. The Variag was in
jured. On their return the Japanese
naval vessels announced officially that
they would attack the place at
o'clock p. m. The Koreitz blew up and
sank. She was a slow vessel which
made it difficult for her to escape. The
japanese naval vessels attacked the
Variag from the outside harbor until
she sank. Twenty-Five hundred Japa-
nese troops are in Seoul
