Missouri Fruit Crop.

l.. A. Goodman, secretary of the
Missouri State. Horticultural Society,
reports that the peaches have been
quite generally killed. The thermom.
eter in February went down to 10 de.
grees below zero in some parts of the
state and even as low as 80 below
zero in other parts. 1t is believed
than IA degrees below zero. The great
bulk of the peach buds in Missouri
are therefore dead. Raspberries and
5lackberries are also injured, Plums,
cherries and pears came through the
winter fairly well. Apples, hardy va
rieties of grapes and strawberries are
uninjured and promise well.

A PLACE OF ENDURING CHARM.
Physical Features Of the Everglades
Of a Beauty Beyond Description.

No description of the physical feat
ures of the Everglades can possibly
convey any true idea Of their beauty
and their charm. Both are indescrib-
able and indefinable, yet the one is as
clear as the sunlight which brings it
into view, the othter as keen as the
touch of an awakening love. Both
charm and beauty blend in strange,
sweet sense of mystery, which even
one least responsive to this new mood
of nature canot possibly escape. AS
far as the vision can compass, grasses
of gold wave over fields of silver
reaching away to skyline fcobalt
blue. Green islands, so dreamlike that
they seem to float in the tremulous
sea of sleep just ready to waken,
open arms of welcome to their en-
chanting shadows. Across the match
less blue of a summer sky the chill
dren of the storm chase each other in
scudding clusters Of feathery cloud /;
but they are only children at play, for
at their worst they break into soft
showers which seem to have no pur'
pose save to make broken bits Of rain
bow and to add a little to the sum of
the life that is everywhere. For life
is everywhere in this enchanted re-
gion, where earth and water and air,
plant and tree and sky, all seem to
culver and throb with its birth-throe.
The edge of an active crater compels
the thought of the suppressed anguish
of creating nature; the smoking sea at
early dawn suggests the menace of
death held in the leash of life; the
desert and the prairie tell of a life
which, though it has passed, still lin
gers on the edges of its old arena.
But here, in the lake of mystery, with
Its islands of enchantment and its I'M
told story. life is alive.
Over it all and through it broods
that informing spirit of the essential
life which is the heart of all things.
Here one pardons-cven applauds-
the Spaniard, who so often gave the
sacred name to the unhallowed object.

Injured Peach Trees.

Where peach buds have been killed
by the cold it is advisable to cut back
nto the two or three year old wood
If the tree was cut back last year
make the new cut below the old one
taking off the top growth. This will
induce new growth, which will be
in shape for bearing next year. This
will result in new head being
formed. The more the wood is dis.
colored the further back should be
the cutting.

A Good Wire Fence,

In the spring, more than at any
other time, a farmer realizes the
value of well-built wire fence, be-
cause at this time of year the ground
is soft and If the posts have not been
well set they are everywhere show
ing the effects of the heaving power
of the frost. The farmer whose
fences have been well-built is feeling
comfortable now as he realizes the
amount of work he has escaped in
not having to repair fences.

THE RESTLESS DEWETS
Nephew of the General in an Anti
 German Plot.

Berlin, Oct 3.-Andrew Dewet, the nephew of the famous Boer. Christian Dewet, has been arrested at his resi- dence in a suburb of Windhock, Ger man Southwest Africa, with four other Boers accused of plotting the over throw Of German rule in southwest Africa to create a Boer republic. This news purporting to come from an ex- cellent authority. vas distributed to the German press by thek Hanseatc press bureau, and is accepted as true by the leading Berlin journals.
 Andrew Dewet, who is a merchant of Windnoek, is described as having ar ranged with the rebel natives to make common cause with them. About 15, 900 Boers are said to be in German southwest Africa, one-quarter of whom are organized. Considerable quantities of arms were seized at De vets home. Although the arrest 0c- cured August 23, nothing was report ed by cable to. the newspapers, doubt less on account of the censorship.
 Andrew Dewet married the daughter of a Prussian army officer.

BURNING SLAUGHTER HOUSE
The Hurley Firm SustainS a Loss of
 $I2,OO0.

The slaughter house of P. T. Hurley, three miles southwest of the city, was destroyed by fire on Monday night. It is said that early in the evening smoke was seen issuing form the building, but it was thought that the machinery was merely in operation. About nine o'clock a man living in the neighbor- hood saw from his bed the flames breaking out of the building. He hHr- ried to the slaughter house, but by that time the whole structure was in flames. An hour later it was a smOuldering ruin.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. Hurley said yestehday that there had been no fire there the day before, but it is thought it might have been smouldering for day or two.
 The loss is about 12,000. and the in surance $6,2O0. It may be added that a day or two before a member of the firm questioned the wisdom of keeping even that much insurance, seeing the apparent imprObability of a loss by fire The building was a large brick structure The principal loss is upon the contents consisting of machinery of various kinds needed about al slaugn-

THE oUARTzslTE LITIGATION
Herbert Brown is Receiver of the
 AmAIgamated Gold Hinrs Co.

Attorney Robert F. Morrison arrived yesterday from Yuma where he had gone to represent H. J! Beemer in what is known as the Quartzsite Iiti- gatiOn which may be briefly reviewed as follows: Bsemer had brought suit against O. H. Pease and $. H. Parks for the annulling of a contract by which he had associated himself with them in certain placer claims in QuartZsite district and which he after ward found to be worthless after hav- ing put up something like $300,0O0. The object of the suit was to secure certain machinery which he had put on the property. In his suit conspir- acy is alleged.
 Two companies had been formed. one known as the New York Mining and Investment company and the oth- CT. the Amalgamated Gold Mines com pany, in both of which it is alleged that Pease is the controlling spirit. After the institution of the Besmer suit, suit was brought by the former company against the latter, asking for damages in the sum of $2.4OO.OOO for failure to per-Orm the contract which Beemer had entered into and for the app -i1tment of a Teceive- for the property of the latter, including the placer claims and the machinery.
 Beemer was not made a party to the suit and knew nothing Of 1t until he learned that Solomon Pease, a brother of O. H. Pease, had been appointed receiver by Judge DOan. When Re ceiver Pease ma de . demand for pos st ssicn of the property he was told that he might have the placer claims but that he could not have the ma chinery.
 Beemer's rep -ezeatattves were cited for contempt and the matter came be- fore Judge Campbell at Tucson about a month ago. At that hearing Messrs. Morrison and P. s. Clark moved to i1tery enc in behalf of Beemer and the motion was set for hearing at Yuma on Monday. It was represented in the motion that the receiver was broth CT of O. H. Pease and as the Repub- iican stated at the time it was prac- ticaIy decided by the court to sub stitute fo~ Receiver Pease, Herbert Brown of Yuma. though no order was mae Brown was understoo1 to be acceptable to bo,h parties.
 At the hearing on Monday the re-. port of Receiver Pessa was received, appointed.

DANGEROUS N BANKING
A Charge Against New York Trust
 Companies.

New York, oct. 3.-Charges that the statement of the condition of New YorR banks, as Issued weekly, has become a farce and that the action of the trust companies in extending large credits without maintaining adequate cash reserves, constitutes great danger, were made before the Clearing House association today by the president of the Corn. Exchange bank. Wm. A. Nash. The Corn Exchange bank $ one of the most important financial in stitutions in the city, having average deposits of about $40,0O0, ,000.
 MT. Nash denounced the existing state of affairs by which trust com panies. operating outside of the clear ing house. and not subject to it's rule, are not obliged to maintain the cash reserve of one-fourth of the sum of deposits, which sum is required of na- tionaI banks by federal law and of oth- CT clearing house banks by the rules

 Phoenix Ariz., April 27, 'O4.-Dear Sir: I received your letter inquiring about the climate here. The winters here are very dry and mild. The rain fall is very slight. The summers are very long and very hot. During the winter this town is filled with people who are seeking health, principally consumptives.
 I have lived here for fifteen years and have never heard of a permanent cure by climate. while I know of many cases of healing through Christian Science l have a friend whose moth CT was healed of lung trouble. twenty five years ago. SEe is perfectly well today and has never had any trouble with throat or lungs since she twas healed. young man came here from tEe east two years ago for lung trOu- bIe Instead of growing better he grew very much worse. A friend advised Christian Science treatment. He was healed in three weeks. After he was healed a physician made an eXamina- ton and pronounced him well. A friend of mine who is a teacher, came here many years ago, seeking health; she also had lung trouble and sought climate for relief. She taught school for awhile but had to give it up. She stayed here five years and then went home to oie. She was hea' ed through Science and you no doubt would say that she was not perfectly well be- cause she is no. very fieshy. She has a certificate of health from one of the best doctors here. This lady was heal ed seven years ago. I could tell you of many more.
 If you are depending on climate for help it would be useless for you to take, Science treatment. There is no doubt that Christian Science can and does heal lung trouble. If you study Christian Science and get an under standing O. the principles it teaches and learn to apply it, there is abso- IuteIy no doubt that you will be heal ed. I have never known failure un- der these conditions.

BURNING ISSUE
The Cabinet Takes up the Chinese Boycott First
A PUZZLING PROBLEM
Important Changes in the Present Regulations to be Made to Over come ComplaintS-Beef Trust Cases Were Also Discussed.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The mast in tei estinng subjects discussed at the clbinet meeting today were, first, the Chinese boycott against American goods, and second, consideration of the complaints made by the Chinese against t}.e method of the execution Of the existing Chinese exclusion law. The important fact developed was the presidents efforts last summer to aI lay the indignation Os the Chinese by q circular of instructions to the Amer ican minister to China and consular officers therein, had in a measure fail ed of it's purpose and required con siderable amendment to secure the ob- ject sought. Minister ROckhiH himself reported that it h-d not been found p-ssible to carry out the instructions contained in the circular without dO- ing great injustice to worthy Chinese and imposing burdens too heavy to be borne upon the American cOnsuls.
 Being freshly back from the orient, Secretary Taft took a prominent part ii the discussion of this matter when it was broached by Secretary Root and presented some of the results of his observations on his recent trip. It
 
 American consuIs identify the Chinese seeking certificates admitting them to American ports imposed a task upon these officials beyond their ability. The Chinese applicant frequently came from some place far distant from the American consulate and the consul was consequently obliged to refuse to identify, as proper persons 10 ba admitted~to the United States many very worthy Chinese, which of course led to bitter complaint and foztered the boycott feeling.
 Then a Chinese merchant who de- sired to send his son as a shop as sist5nt to his branch store in the United States with a view to ultimate ly admitting the son to partnership, found the boy was barred on the charge that he was a coo,ie. Chinese living in the British and French and For. .uguese Asiatfc colonies, being really citizens of those nations, did not sec why they could DOt be admit ted to America under proper passports instead of being required to produce the unpopular certificate.
 These were only a few of the com paints made against the administra- ticn of the existing exclusion law. The trend of the opinion in the cabinet meeting was that these complaints af- fer all were directed rather against the construction placed upon the law than against the act itself, and espe- ciauy against the definition given in California to the term cOolie, so it was practically decided that some sRnport- ant changes in the present regulations must be made.
 Today's session was the fTst regular meeting of the cabinet held for Some months and it was one of the long est held during the administration of President Roosevelt. It was attended by all members of the cabinet except Secretary Shaw, who is absent from the city, and Secretary Metcalf, .who
