The Mammoth and the MOSQUITO

What has come to pass in thousands Of
years seems hardly credible. Primitive
man, weakling III comparison to modern
man, was able to conquer the huge mon
stcrs of thousands of years ago, such as
the Mammoth. and today they are dead
forever; yet the mosquito and fly have
never been conquered. 1t is now time
for the scientist tc devise methods for kill.
ing the mosquito and fly, so that they will
go to join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dam
gerous enemies of man because they spread
contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house.
fly spreads germs of disease over our food
These bacterial germs ever hunting for
the weak spot, find a place in our blood,
and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, con-
sumption, or malaria.
DR. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi.
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. ", SAYS oThere
would be no grip epidemics, the germs of
consumption, or malaria would find no
place in the human economy, if the blood
were pure, if the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood Poisons
should not be allowed to accumulate in the
body; to be safe it is best to take a gentle
laxative at least once a week" Such a
vegetable laxative as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For putting the blood in order, and as
tissue builder aud tonic for those weakened
by coughs, colds, catarrh, grip, nothing will
build one up quicker than Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This is med
icine made entirely of roots and herbs,

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. "a, $40 a..
NIT was persistently reported in the
clubs and in government circles late
at night that the emperor yesterday
had appointed Count Witte premier,
with the portfolio of minister of
finance. All the papers this morning
give prominence to the report
Count Witte, it now seems, has def
nitely come into imperial favor. Since
his return from the United States,
Count Witte has ranged himself on
the side of the liberals and has not
only advocated complete liberty Of
speech, of the press and of assembly,
as a corollary of the coming douma,
but has urged the extension of the
powers of the douma along the lines
demanded by the reformers, as well
as a broader franchise, so as to admit
fuller representation from the ranks
of labor and the cultured classes.
The emperor, to whom the count
personally outlined his views, display
ed much sympathy with them, and it is
learned, favored a number of ministers
suggested by the count, including Gen.
eral Trepoff, assistant minister of the
interior who now ranks as one of the
most broad minded Of his majesty's S
counsellors and who is understood 10
he working harmoniously with Count
Witte.

erning the right of assembly was gen
orally recognized as not being broad

Boos jestingly reminded the police
that he himself had raised the hue and
cry on more than one occasion when
after robbing a house he had been pur-
sued. Keeping ahead of his pursuers
he shouted at the top of his voice stop
thief" Catch that man." and by
directing their attention was able to
escape. But finally the transit com

Boos and had him arrested.
A search of his rooms revealed vast

Boos is regarded as a modern social
highwayman. He drew a large salary
as the superintendent of the big transit

in the city. He was popular in society.

MOBILE Ala, Oct. 23.-That peace
hath her victories no less renowned than
war was never better exemplified than
in the reception of President Roosevelt
during his. two hours stay In Mobile
this evening. There was general clos
ing of all business houses, and along
the route of the procession from the
Union station to the stand on Bienviile
square, where the reception ceremonies
took place, the residences and stores
were covered with decorations of lights
and bunting in the national colors. The
route lay out Government street, one Of
the most noted drives In the south, for
ten blocks, passing the homes of some
of Mobiles most influential citizens, her
chief educational institutions and one
of her historic churches. The sidewalks
and streets along Government street
were packed with humanity, and at Nc
Gill institute, Barton academy and one
or two other points hundreds of chill
dren were massed, who sang national
anthems and songs as the procession
passed. Cheer after cheer rent the air.
The procession was headed by platoon
of police, followed by militia and two
companies of artillery from Fort Nor
gan and the cadets of the university
military school. Behind the young
boys came the battle-scarred veterans
of Raphael Semmes and John Withers
camp, U. C. ", as guard of honor to the
president.
Forty Thousand Hear Speech
The stand was erected on Bienville
square, facing the square, which long
before the president arrived was filled
with a struggling crowd of citizens. 1t
was brilliant with electric lights, and
overhead the magnificent grove of live
oaks formed a canopy of green. 1t is
estimated that by the time the presi-
dent began his address there was a
crowd numbering 10000 people within
the sound of his voice. He appeared to
be overwhelmed with pleasure at the
spontaneity of his welcome. His seat
was on an elevated dais in chair
which was built by the students of a
technical school in Japan. Back of the
chair was an enormous stuffed bear,
eight feet tall, bearing in its mouth
floral independence bell and above its
head a white dove holding a streamer
on which was the inscription BLESSED
is the peacemaker.' The bear was
killed on a hunting expedition by En-
peror Alexander II of Russia in 1857,

TO FIGHT STANDARD OIL
Corporation Backed by Millions, With

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 23.-Tle Bull
letin today says
THE Standard Oil company has a
new rival in California, a competitor
backed by millions with connections IN
Europe and tie advantage of water
transportation. The transaction which
brought a competitor of the Standard
Oil into the field was the sale of the
control of the Western Oil Refining
and Manufacturing companys plant at
Rodeo, Contra Costa county, to the
Liebes Brothers and Henry ]. Crocker,
who comprise the new concern. The
plant cost SO, 900, but it is to be- tin
larged to more than double it's capa
city, the new owners contemplating the
expenditure of as much as $250,000 on
the works. Ir this connection cable
advices have been received from Lon
don announcing the subscription Of
$50O,0OO there for the building of an
other oil refinery in California. 1t is
believed that the new plant will be
erected in the oil fields of the Liebes in
Santa Barbara county, where the
Liebes own between 5000 and 5000 acres
OF producing oil lands.
"These oil fields are near the coast

PANAMA CANAL MAY BE
CONSTRUCTED BY CONTRACT
TAFT SAYS GOVERNMENT MAY
FOLLOW THIS PLAN
There Is Reason for Doubt That Any
Private Concern Would Undertake
Culebra Cut, but Other Portions
Could Be Handled This Way
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The gov
ernment of the United States is will
ing to enter into contracts with cor
porations or individuals for the con-
struction of any portion or all of the
Panama canal.
This statement was made by Secre-
tary Taft today while discussing the
conditions upon the isthmus and the
policy of the government.
There is some doubt in his mind
whether any concern would be willing
to undertake the excavation of the
Culebra cut on account of the maSni-
tude of such work. 1t is not the eXca-
vation that will be so difficult as the
disposition of the dirt which Will be
taken out of the cut.
AS to the other work, the government
will be ready to enter into contracts
for its completion as soon as it is de-
termined what type of canal shall be
constructed. 1t is stated that con-
tracts could not be made during the
preliminary stages of the work be-
cause the government had to postpone
the construction until it's officers knew
what was to be done and had a Suffi-
cient knowledge of the conditions to
pass upon bids and make judicious
contracts.
Secretary Taft did not mean to de-
clare the policy of the government in
the matter of the canal construction
but to assert that If 1t were found feas-
ible to let contracts that course would
be pursued. Today he made the follow
ing statement:
1.-THE question whether the canal will
be built by contract 1t is not, of course,
possible now to determine. Mr. Wallace,
the former chief engineer of the canal,
expressed tentative opinion that pos
sibly much of the work, except the Gu
Zebra cut, could be let by contract. 1t
is impossible, however, to make plans
for this until the data are obtained,
which are now being secured l have
not discussed the matter with Mr..
Shonts or with Mr.. Stevens, the chief
engineer, because the question has not
yet come up for settlement. I give you
only the impression that 1 received
from conversations with Mr.. Wallace

and the Solsky reform commission is
now at work on q more liberal draft
The reception of Countess Witte by
the emperor today is considered sin
gular event of the emperor's determin-
alton to confide his fortunes to the
hands of Count Witte. No other in
depreciation is placed upon it in court
circles, where the. reception of the
countess created tremendous SEN
sation. The countess is a Jewess of
ordinary birth, and has never been re-
ceived in court. When NJ Witte was
appointed minister in the nineties the
emperor was reported to have said:
Remember, you are not married. -
The fixing of his wife's social status,
which has been one of Count Whites
ambitions. must rank as one of the
triumphs of his life.
The decrease of the influence of the
grand dukes perhaps made 1t easier for
his majesty to turn to Count Witte.
The resignation of Grand Duke Vlad-
imir, the emperor's uncle, as COM
mander-in-c of the military dis
trict of st. Petersburg, however, has
not yet been accepted. In rendering
his resignation the grand duke wrote
to the emperor substantially as fol-
lows: II have served your grand
father, your father and yourself; but
now that your majesty has disgraced
my son, 1 no longer have the heart TO
serve you"
The emperor is said to favor even
depriving Grand Duke Cyril of rhe
title of Grand Duke, saying that he
should be known simply as Monsieur
Romanoff"

oliver ]. Semmes, son of the Con-
federate admiral Raphael Semmes,
then presented to the president and
pinned upon the lapel of his coat a
handsome souvenir badge as the gift of
the people of Mobile.
President Roosevelt was cheered as
he arose to speak. He thanked the peo-
pie for their magnificent reception and
spoke special words of greeting to the
Confederate veterans, who formed a
portion of his escort. He referred to
the fact that one of his uncles was on
the Alabama during the Civil War. Re.
ferring to the Panama canal, the presi-
dent said he did his best to bring about
its completion for the benefit of the
whole people, but particularly for the
benefit of the gulf states.
Originally, he said, he favored the
Nicaragua canal, but when it was dem-
onstrated that it must be the Panama
canal or nothing he favored the Pana-
ma route, as he wanted to see a canal
built and one will be built Notwith-
standing the efforts of certain people
who are striving by their circulation of
false rumors or other methods to delay
the construction of the canal, the presi-
for there is going to be canal. Health
conditions on the isthmus, he said, are
better than ever before. The president
said further:
We Must Police Canal
eff we build the canal we must pro-
tect it and police it ourselves. We must
therefore bring up and keep up our navy
to the highest point of efficiency
"In the event of war the American
people must rely mainly upon its volun-
teer soldiers. While it is comparatively
a simple act to turn a man into quite a
good soldier, you can neither improyise
battleship or the crw of battleship.
1t is not necessary that we should have
a particularly large navy, but 1t is
necessary that, ship after ship, it should
be little the better of any in the
world"
The president concluded his speech by
referring to his pleasure at seing the
children, the future citizens of this
country.
1.-THE fathers and mothers must see to
it that the children are properly trained
in order to keep up the standard of citi-
zenship."
