St. Petersburg. April 14.-Vice Admiral
Stark. formerly in cnommand of the Rus

believe the explosion was internal and

which is equivalent to turned turtle In
support of the theory of an internal ex-

Coming Attractions for

At the Crawford

At the Crawford
The entertainment given by the Inter
national Biascope company at the Craw-
ford theater last night was attended by
large and appreciative audience and
was pronounced success in every way.
The pictures were unusually clear and
were presented without the usual flicker
and vibration which has so marred the
effect at previous entertainments Of this
kind. The pictures were far above the
average usually presented and the man
ner in which they were produced would
make one CINE they were seeing a
pantomime performance. The picture of
the run OF the Wichita fire department
was feature Of the evening The pic
ture was excellent: in fact, it could hard
ly have been better. Probably the most
pleasing pictures were The Voyage to
the Moon Little Red Riding Hood"
An English Deer Hunt" and Uncle
Toms Cabin" although there was not
a picture presented that did not receive
a hearty applause. The complimentary
remarks of every one leaving the theater
certainly proved that all who attended
were more than pleased. The Biascope
company will give another performance
tonight An entire change of program
will be given.
Maud Sutton, the clever little comedi-
enne who is appearing as a special fea-

Provisions from Trees.

There is a tree which grows in Sumatra, Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From it's fruit large quanti- ties of oil and tallow are extract ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread Itissaid to be equally good and nu- tritious. In South America we find the milk ee.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Curious Incident.

A man on Twenty-third street
 furnished much amusement to a number of people on a recent windy afternoon by predicament he fell into, or rather that fell onto him. A large gunny sack dropped from the roof of one of the buildings, and, as it descend ed, filled with air, coming down with mouth wide open, like bal loon. It struck the unfortunate man squarely over the head, GOV ering him completely down be- low the shoulders, and pinioning his arms so that he had difficulty in extricating himself. He strug- gled as if he thought he was being kidnaped until he managed to get
 ck of his head. d.-N. Y. Post

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser's Subjects at Present Residing In
 South America.

German migration to South America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically cause of com ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest. For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not we'll founded. One such reason is that the number of Germans in Brazil is not, after all, ominous- ly large. The total population of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 17,000,000, of which number less than 3,000,000 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14,000,000 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,700,000 were immigrants, and of the latter number only 100000 were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 450,000, or lit tie over three per cent. of the ] whole. Really, we cannot regard that as a dangerous percentage. l Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra gil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer- ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed ill certain states as to form a ma jority of their population, as some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 900,000, so that the Germans are less l than one-fourth. In Santa Catha 1 rina the Germans are 100000 in q l total of 100000, or one-third, the largest proportion in any 1 state. In Parana they are 47,000 in 2S0,000, and in Sac Paulo 30, GOO in 1,430,O
 l It is pointed out as ominous that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub fish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools. Well, the same may be said of Germans in New York, and in { Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 Ihe conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit- ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in. creased commerce. In that Ger many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means a market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case too much stress cannot easily be laid.

SLATE CREEK NEWS.

A jolly crowd attended the dance at
Henry Whites place Saturday, Febru-
ary 9th. The weather having been
so unfavorable, the orchestra that had
been engaged for the evening did not
make an appearance, so the music was
furnished by Ezra Taylor, assisted by
Messrs. Frank Mann, Frank Grelich
and Gilbert Cobaruby, playing in turn.
Dancing began about nine O'Clock,
Robt. White directing the floor. Later
in the evening the ladies took the floor,
with Misses Sophia Grelich and Jennie
White as floor managers. At midnight
the ladies took their partners to a
bountiful supper, which had been pre-
pared for the occasion. 1t was nearly
four O'Clock when the dancers depart

present were: Miss Laura Maburv.

The New Century Club held it's BIZ
weekly meeting Friday evening, at the
home OF Miss Ella Clute. After brief
executive session, those present spent
the evening in singing, playing games,
and merry making generally until II
O'Clock, when all were invited to the
dining room, where a sumptuous re-
past had been provided. Cards, each
bearing a motto, had been distributed,
and emblematic answers we're placed
upon the various plates. The first to
be seated was to receive prize. This
caused much merriment, and Mrs. T.
ID. Dillon proved the winner, while
Willis Boydston, who thought that a
too small lump of sugar rather than a
peeled onion was the cause of many a
fearful eye, was the last to find a seat.
The object of this club is to provide
suitable reading matter for it's mem-
bers. Each member pays ten cents per
month, and when the treasurer has
sufficient funds to buy three books the
money is spent for that purpose. They
now have about seventy excellent vol

the practice is contrary to law, and
keeps the taxpayers in the dark as
to how the road funds are expended.
Its tendency is pernicious in other
ways. The matter was brought up
before the last grand jury, and that
body recommended that the practice
be discontinued. BY the proceed
ings this month, it will be noticed
that the supervisors are abandoning
this illegal method of putting in road
bills. Supervisors Burke and Grillo
put in complete itemized bills, sworn
to by the parties doing the work,
thereby complying with the law on
this subject. They are the new
supervisors, and it may be assumed
they were anxious to get away from
the system from the outset of their
official career. The old members of
the board are breaking away gradu-
ally. Supervisor Moore's name no
longer appears in the list of payees
for road work. In districts one and
two the bills are partly itemized and
partly consolidated claims. 1t may
be safely predicted that all bills for
road work will soon be presented
and sworn to by the parties actually
interested. For one man to appear
on the records as drawing hundreds
of dollars for labor in one mon th, will
awaken as much comment as if the
bills were allowed solely in the name
of the supervisors as heretofore.
The Ledger has persistently kept up
the agitation against an innovation
of long-standing, and public senti-
ment was so thoroughly aroused
against it, that it had to fall.

Do You Want Strength

If you want to increase your strength
you must add to and not take from the
physical. In other words, the food that
you eat must be digested, assimilated
and appropriated by the nerves, blood
and tissues, before being expelled from
the intestines. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
adds to the physical. 1t gives strength
to and builds up strength in the human
system. 1t is pleasant to the taste and
palatable, and the only combination of
digestants that will digest the food and
enable the system to appropriate all of
its health and strength giving qualities.

The supreme court has held that
a county recorder is not entitled to
extra compensation for making an
abstract of mortgages, notwith-
standing that the statute says that
the supervisors may fix his compen-
sation for such work. It is held
that the law giving the supervisors
such power is unconstitutional.
