The Melba car arrived at Kansas

and within few minutes the singer
was transported to the heart Of the
Alton railroad yards. says the Kansas
City Journal.
The noise of the engines was SO
great that 1t was feared for time the
diya's three legged piano would need
tuning before night. The rehearsal
was scheduled to take place in the
drawing room OF madam's private car.
A few tra-las found their way
through the car ventilators and settled
upon the ears Of some horny handed
gentlemen who wore blue overalls.
They all knew that Melba was In their

Baltic dispatch, g.: The dead body
Of Lars Olson, and his wife wounded
| beyond recovery, was the CHASTITY sight
discovered by neighbors late yesterday
afternoon when they entered the Olson
home FIVE miles north of this place.
No one had been seen stirring about the
place for some time and the neignbors

determined to investigate, but were
shockingly surprised when the grim
tragedy was revealed TO them.
Olson s wife lay on a bed, uncon

smeared on the carpets. Nearby was
the body of Olson. 1t was on chair
and had toppled over, resting partly on

The couple were married not very
long ago Olson was an elderly man
his wife was considerably younger.
Since their marriage all has not run

a quarrel and that he, in rage, tried
to kill his wife and then committed
suicide.

LEAVENED BREAD

Has Been Mans Constant Mainstay
From Time Immemorial.
Some writer has said that ''The first miller
emerging from his savage state, with no
thought save hunger, plucked the wheat
from the stock, and, using his teeth for mill
stones, ground the first grist for customer
who would not be denied-his stomach" +"
Thus gaining experience by test in the food
line, it would be only natural for this miller
to lay up quantity of grain against an hour
of need. just when he commenced grinding
his wheat in the rude stone mortar and
moistening the -four preparatory to baking
1t in the ashes of his camp fire, and just
when it was found that an old piece of dough
in fresh batch made it better or 'leavened"
it, is beyond the reach of historians. Ger
tain it is that though the principle was the
same thousands of years ago as it is to-day
it has remained for the makers of Yeass
Foam to supply yeast with all the true
leavening powers minus the properties thai
produce sour, "runny" or soggy bread. Thi.
is the yeast that took the first grand prize
at the st. Louis Exposition, and revolution
izes the bread making in every home where
il is used because much better bread can be
made with it from any -four.
Yeast Foam is purely vegetable, being
made of the best malt, corn, hops and other
healthful ingredients. The factory 10 also
the cleanest and best equipped in the world.
This yeast il the only kind that preserves
in the bread all the delicious flavor and
nutritive value of the wheat. The bread
made with 1t is always sweet and wholesome
and stays moist until used. Forty loaves OF
bread can be made from one Sc package.
The makers of Yeast Foam are giving out
new book called ''Good Bread; How to
Make It." This little book, invaluable in
its way, has twenty six illustrations in coloro,
and tells how to make all kinds of bread,
biscuits, buns and rolls, as well as. contain
ing other recipes which viii be found in
valuable in the home. The way of prepar-
ing the different recipes is very clear and
comprehensive. The book will be sent free
to any one sending their name and address,
with request for same, to the Northwestern
Yeast Company, Chicago, III. Every wo'
man who bakes should secure copy.

A HILL OF DEATH.
Features of the Fearful Carnage In
Siege OF Port Arthur.


The absorbing interest In st. Peters
burg affairs permits little attention to
be paid to the full accounts now in
London of one of the greatest feats of
modern arms, the capture of Two Hun
dred and Three Meter hill during the
siege OF Port Arthur and the slaughter
of thousands of japanese In three or
four unsuccessful attacks, says Lon
don cable dispatch to the Chicago Trib.
une The last assault encountered no
resistance, for the infantry found the
trenches filled only with dead Rus
slams, so awful had been the greatest
bombardment In history. The crucial
moment is thus described:
AT. 8 o'clock forward movement
was made by the soldiers on Compan-
ion hill. The Japanese pressed on, en-
countering little resistance, and soon
were In possession of half the crest.
At the same moment 500 men left the
trench. The Japanese advanced on
Two Hundred and Three Meter hill and
rushed Russian trench thirty yards
away. The Japanese soldiers were
seen to enter the trench. Then came Il
brief pause. while the artillery contln-
ued to lombard the summit of the
mountain. Nothing could be seen Of
the Russians.
"a few minutes later the Japanese
soldiers were I'm possession of the first
trench reappeared on the far side and
again moved forward. Every one
watched with breathless anxiety, for
this was the part of the climb that al
ways had been so fatal. The Japanese
soldiers on Two Hundred and Ten Me-
ter hill also moved forward, and before
one had time to realize what had hap
pened the Japanese infantry were over
the crest of both peaks and were out
lined against the sky line.
with the exception of three prison
ers, not live Russian was found on
the summit They had been shelled to
pieces, and not even mouse could
have escaped from that hail. No noun
tain ever contained contracted in so
small a space so much of the horrors
OF war The crest had been absolutely
smashed to pieces. One could not even
trace the lines of the original defenses.
Among this confused tumble Of
rocks, sand bags, shells, charred timber,
broken rifles, bits of uniforms and sol
diers' accouterments of every descrip-
tion the dead lay In hundreds, many
smashed beyond resemblance to human
form, so terrible is the effect of modern
shell fire.
Zone the east side of the mountain
lay the dead Russians. on the west
side the dead Japanese. The summit
was sacred to both. 1t was freezing
weather during the day attack, and the
bodies of the dead were perfectly pre-
served. Some seemed to have died a
natural death, but the majority, espe-
cially the Japanese who Were struck
down while advancing up the steep
slope, had their teeth clinched and q
look Of fierce resolve written on their
faces.
"The Russians, who also for the most
part met death while sitting in the
trenches on the summit, bore panied
and even surprised appearance. In one
place a dozen soldiers were sitting in
q square shelter OF sand bags when a
big shell landed In their midst and
killed all"
