Fresh Air Beats Medicine

/ Monkeys, cnranguotangs, ba.

visitors, need have no further fear
Of tuberculosis Open air is the
deadly foe and exterminator OF such
germs. This has been established
by Cy De Vry, keeper Of the Lin
coin Park Zoo in Chicago. In
cages there hc has 40 Simlan speci-
mems, and they are as healthy as
country children.
Last winter DR.. De Vry turned
his animals out lii the snow. They

cles of their diet with the thernome.
ter below zero. They shivereo,
shattered. shook, wept and beg
ged for the heat OF their sleeping
cages, but the experiment was on
and Mr.. DE Vry refueed to be
moved by their mute appeals.
And what was the result? There
has not been . death among the
tribe at the Zoo in ten months there
are monkeys there now that will
live for years, in face of the records
heretofore that one rarely existed
in confnement longer than eighteen
months. l. hes been discovered
that in the open air one may live
to an advanced aged. Blu; in closed
quarters they die as il attacked with
bubonic plagne die always from
consumption. The Zoo has been
losing from ten TO fifteen year
since its establishment. Medicines
have seemed to do little good.
They sl,rivele1 up, became anemic
and wasted away, galloped off into
the grip of that most dreadful OF all
diseases, and there was no help .for
them
And it shows, that II an outdoor
life will prevent ravages of tubulo-
els in monkeys it will do the same
for humans. Air aud sunshine
are the foes of all such germs.

bic said she tried to escape to a nigh

she thought she could hide for the re-
mainder of the night, but Noble was
SO close by that she could not get

About ten o'clock she returned to the

She retired and after her husband had

walked to Lowden station, where she
telephoned to the Walla walla officers.
Phillips Was Scared.
w. B. Phillips told a thrilling tale of
how Noble had bombarded his resi-
dence in an effort to scare Mrs. Noble
away from his house, where she had
taken refuge. After few volleys had
been fired he asked Mrs Noble to leave
and then took his own family out of a
back window and locked them up in
cellar back of the house. He then
mounted a horse and hurried to Tou-
Chef for an officer. Philips created
some merriment by stating that he rode

At the conclusion of the testimony
Judge Huffman placed Noble under
$1,000 bonds to keep the peace for IL
months. He was warned not to mo-

$1,000 was required to insure his ap-
pearance in a suit commenced by Mr..
Phillips, the outgrowth of Sunday
nights fracas.
AS a sequel to the trouble Mrs. Noble
began action for divorce late yester-
day afternoon. She asks toSbe award

A revolving tale of cruelty and in
iignities that she mas endured at the
hands of her husband, was told by Mrs.
Sarah Noble in Judge Huffman's court
yesterday afternoon, when she was
placed on the witness stand to testify
against her husband, William Noble,
and the children. Sad-eyed, womanly
and sweet-Iooking, Mrs. Noble instant
ly won the sympathy of a courtroom
full of spectators as she told Of last
Sunday nights trouble at the Noble
farm when her husband slapped her
face, forced her to accompany him
about the farm as his drunken fancy
dictated and afterward bombarded
with a shotgun the nome Of a neigh
Dor, where she had taken refuge to es-
cape the drunken fury Of ner hus-
band.
Noble, red-faced and laxative,
insisted on change of venue
when ten case was called to trial.
When this was denied him he content
ed himself with asking the various wit
nesses called by the prosecution, ques-
tons of a trivial nature.
Noble On the Warpath.
Mrs. Noble was placed on the stand
first and related several instances
where ner husband had threatened her
life. Last Thursday she and the chill
dren slipped away from the ranch and
came to town to escape the brutalities
of Noble. Saturday he came to town
and literally abducted her and the
children and took them back to the
farm.
Sunday, Noble began drinking heavi-
| ly again and his abuses was renewed.
She said he forced her and the children
to accompany him to the home of w. B.
Phillips neighbor. Noble had a shot
gun and a grievance against Phillips
and he wanted to settle up. Phillips
refused to come out of the house and
/ then Noble began shooting prOmis-
ciously about the premises. Mrs. Noble
took refuge in the Phillips house but
later Mr.. Phillips requested that she
leave his home as he was afraid Noble
would kill the entire family. Mrs. No

FEAR CIVIL WAR IN THE PLOT.
Germans Anxious Over Crisis In Nor
way and Sweden.

BERLIN, March S.-The latest re-
ports from Norway are causing consid-
cradle anxiety here, for it is recognized
that the ministerial crisis is only a
transition stage of the national crisis,
which may end in civil war between
Norway and Sweden.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Norwegian party is determined to
bring about a separation, if necessary,
by force of arms, and there is little
chance of the Swedish party giving
way, as the Swedish fleet is in posi-
ton to blocake Norway and bring the
life of the country to a
standstill in twentyfOur hours.
