IMPORTANT FACTS
FOR cow OWNERS

The mechanical Cream Separator has
become a vital feature of every home
dairy just as of every butter factory.
Its use means much more and much
better cream and butter, as well as
saving of water, ice, time and room.
The difference in results is not small
but big. Few COWS now pay without a
separator. Dairying is the most profit
able kind of farming with one.
$50 of the creamery butter of the
world is low made with De Laval
machines, and there are over 500, 900
farm users besides.

This Druggists Permit Revoked.

Chanute, kan, Oct. 26.-The drug
gist's permit of Ben M. Kendall, pro-
prietor of the Owl drug store at Cha
mute, was revoked by Probate Judge
Jeffreys at hearing in Erie when
Kendall, in compliance with an order
secured by Chanute citizens, appeared
before the court to show why the per-
nit should not be cancelled. This an
nulment of a permit to sell intoxicants
is the first on record in NeoshO coun-
ty, and viii practically put Kendall out
of business. Since Governor HOch
turned down the request of a delega-
ton of Chanute citizens to have an as
sistant attorney general appointed to
clean up NeoshO county there has been
a move on foot at Chanute to put a
stop to illegal drug store liquor dealing.
Kenda1fs permit was revoked for
selling intoxicants to minors.

ELECTION RECESS.
Insurance Inquiry Adjourns Until the
Sth of November.

New York, Oct. 26.-More startling
than the testimony before the legislative
committee investigating the methods of
insurance companies was the announce
ment by President Richard A. McCurdy,
of the Mutual Life Insurance company,
that q committee of the board OF trus-
tees of his company had been appointed
to investigate the company and its
methods.
The members of the committee are:
William H Truesdale. Effingham B.
Morris and Auchincloss, all prominent
in the financial and business world
This action was taken at meeting OF
the board and was the result of the in
surance investigation. The matter was
brought before the board by President
AIcCurdy and the committee will begin
its work at once
Still another interesting development
in Insurance matters is the statement
issued BY President Morton, Of the
Equitable Life, showing that the re-
ceipts of that company for the nine
months of this year exceeded the ex-
penditures by s16. 723, 1877, an increase of
over $500, 600 compared with the same
period last year. Receipts from prem
iurns on policies for the third quarter
this year were over $1,000,O00 less than
1904 The expenses Of the third quar-
ter of this year were 1890, 913 less than
last year but for the first six months
there was an increase over last year of

STUDENTS FIGHT POLICE
Who Tried to Keep Them From Fight
ing Among Themselves.

Chicago. Oct. 26.-Twenty-five 20
licemen and 200 students OF the Chi
cago College of Dental Surgery, en-
gagged in a fierce fight. and before or
der had been restored, fifteen of the
point during the fight, the police were
forced to fire shots over the heads of
the students to scare them back
The freshman and junior classes of
the institution met in their annual
class rush and the battle became SO
desperate that a riot call was sent in
to the two police stations in the vicin-
ity. When the police arrived on the
scene, the battle between the students
and had blocked all the street car and
wagon traffic in nearby streets. The
students who were in the thick Of the
fight Joined forces as soon as they saw
the approach Of the patrol wagons, and
the bluecoats were pelted on all sides
with stones and vegetables, while
water was poured on them by students
from the upper floors Of the college.
After this state of affairs had been
going on for some time and the police
were getting decidedly the worst of the
battle, the bluecOats drew their re
volyers and fired several shots This
brought the students to their senses
and they ran in all directions. but the
police succeeded in making fifteen cap
lures.
All the students bore signs Of the
conflict in their rent garments, and
number OF them suffered severe cuts
about their heads and faces from the
punishment administered by the police.
An investigation has been begun by
the faculty and the ringleaders of the
disturbance win be punished

HARD LOT IS THEIRS.
Paymaster Clerks in the Navy Are
Badly Treated.

Washington. Oct. 26.-Urgent rec
ommendation is contained in the an
nual report of the paymaster general
of the navy for the warranting of pay
master clerks in the navy and for the
creation of q retired list for this branch
of the service.
The present anomalous position of
paymaster's clerks in the navy could
not be more explicitly Illustrated -
says Paymaster General Harris. than
by the sad case of Henry 0. Metius,
who lost his life in the Bennington dis
aster. No right to pension, no hope
of retirement, none of the privileges
which pertain to all other officers
just hard work is their lot absolutely
nothing to look forward to except to
wear out or rust out or perchance to
die in the line of duty, leaving no pro-
vision for dependent ones"
Attention is called to the serious en-
barrassment caused the bureau of sup
plies and accounts by the lack of
education of the clerical force, to the
fact that supplies are not inspected
as satisfactorily and as expeditiously
as they would be if more officers were
available for duty at various navy
yards, and a recommendation is made
that the navy supply fund be immedi-
ately increased from S2,700,000 to S.

MILES OF ARSENIC.
Taken in Tablet Form in New Orleans
to Ward on Fever.

New Orleans. Oct 26.-Since the
arsenic craze in New Orleans and in
the states of Mississippi and Louisiana
has somewhat subsidized druggists and
nathematicians have been calculating
the number of arsenic tablets swallowed
bv the people of this city and of the
surrounding section.
The arsenic craze was of Minnesota
origin. having been started by DR.. Regf-
Maid B. Leach, of St. Paul. who claimed
that arsenic tablets taken three times
a day in .01-grain doses would prevent
yellow fever or render an attack very
mild. DR.. Leach advanced his theory
in A letter to the New Orleans newspa-
pers, and offered to come to New Or
leans and take the preventive and allow
himself to be inoculated, a committee
from the local medical society to note
the results. DR.. Leach was invited by
citizens to come. but the medical so
ciety would have nothing to do with
him. and his theory was not tested.
Bllt many people. impressed by his
theory, swallowed his preventive. A
canvass os the retail wholesale and
manufacturing druggists indicates that
g DOC. 900 900 arsenic tablets were thus
consumed in six weeks. The tablets,
each one-fifth of an inch across, if laid
side by side would make line 5000
miles long, or more than one-third the
circumference OF the earth, and longer
than its diameter. They would be as
much as an ordinary freight car could
sustain, or about as much as twenty
six carts could haul through the streets
of a city Twenty-six tons of tablets
were swallowed.
In bulk the tablets, packed closely to-
gether. would make a pile containing
about seven thousand cubic feet. or as
much as a room 20 feet long, 20 feet
wide and 20 feet high could hold.
Estimating that it would take a min
ute for each tablet to be taken from the
bottle and swallowed, the people in and
about New Orleans spent an aggregate
! of 2.0S3. 400 days swallowing tablets.
( This figures out sos years OF six gem
/ erafions of AIethuse1ahs.
