RETURNED FROM MONTANA.
Chief Inspector Tracy Could Not De.
termfne Cause of Horses Death,

Chief Inspector Tracy of the bureau
of animal industry returned Saturday
evening from White Fish. Mont,
where he went to investigate the mys-
FERROUS death of thirty horses there
recently. BY the time DR.. Tracy ar
rived on the scene the animals had
been dead for five days and it was
impossible to conduct satisfactory
investigation, says the Fargo Forum.
The anxiety of shippers to keep
stock on the cars as long time as
possible is believed to have been re-
sponsible for the death of the horses
The animals after going considerable
length of time without feed and wat
er, were removed from the cars at
White Fish and given water before
feed. This is believed to have hau
something to do with their sudden
death.

THE /" FINGER PRINT
SYSTEM For.
Army
Identity Of All Soldiers to be
Established by New
Method.

Washington, D. c., Sept. Avery
man who enlists In the United States
army after September will have the
imprint of his finger marks placed up
on his record, together with his pho
tograph, according to the Bertillion
system. in order that his identity may
never be lost SO long as he remains in
the service. The finger print system,
which is considered the best of all
methods of Identification, has been
adopted, even to the extent that the
imprint will be taken when possible
of soldiers found dead on the battle
field. With this imprint enclosed in
vial and buried with the soldier, it
is thought that in future wars there
need be no unknown Dead" for the
identity of the soldier can be traced
by the finger print when all other
evidence is gone.
Surgeon Walter d. McGraw and
Major E. F. Ladd, U. 8. A., rendered
report on this system In March, and
its official adoption has now followed.
At present the basis of the identifica-
ton systems an outline finger card,
which will be abandoned.
A number of sergeants Of the hos
pitfalls corps have been under instruc-
ton in the finger system has been
effectively tried, army posts to give
instructions in its use. The system
has been effectively tried. Photographs
were taken of one man with and with
out beard. There was no similarity
whatever between the two, but the
finger lines correspondent minutely, for
the lines of the finger of every indi-
vidual make pattern which will new
err change from birth until death.
The chances against two persons
finger points being alike are one in
sixty-four billion.
1t is thought that the system will
thoroughly guard against fraud in
pension cases.
Frequent applications are made to
the pension bureau for certificates in
lieu of a lost or destroyed discharge
certificate and when pensions are is
sued on these substitute certificates
they are sometimes found to be fraud
ulent.
With the finger print system no man
will be able to get new certificate
unless his identity is established by
the finger print system.

All substances, even eggs, are pois-
onous when they are injected into
certain quantities into the circulatory
system of an animal. A French in
vestigator has taken the powdered
yoke of a ducks egg, treated it with
a 20 per cent solution of salt and in
jected 1t into the veins of an animal
until it died. In order to kill rabbit
IS grains of the substance were re-
quired for each pound of the rabbits
weight. The yoke of hens egg is
less poisonous than that of a duck,
but that of a turtle is more so. The al
bumen of eggs is also poisonous.

positOrs by national banks which were
unable to meet their obligations.
There are In round figures $500 ma
tional banks In the United States and
70 bank examiners charged with the
duty Of examining them three or four
times year Under the circumstances
1t Is not surprising that the examina-
lions are psrfunctory. In fact 1t is
surprising that the examinations are
as thorough as they are.
It Is the run" on the bank which
creates the failure and therefore II a
run can be avoided failure can be
averted. Upon this theory a company
has recently been organized In this
city to insure the depositors in banks
Of all kinds against the loss of their
accounts. This company proposes for
q moderate premium to guarantee the
dep0sitOr In any bank against loss.
That is to say II ones average ac-
count in bank Is thousand dollars
$4,000 the company will for a prem
ium Of $500 per annum, guarantee
the depositor against loss up to
$1,000. The depOsitOr thus insured,
being guaranteed against loss, will
never join in run" because he knows
that under his policy all he has to do
Is to get his book written up" by the
book-keeper Of his bank to insure Inn
mediate settlement of his claim should
the bank close its doors. The theory
upon which this company is establish
ed is that with such a guarantee
runs" will cease and consequently
bank failures will be eliminated.
1t would seem to the layman that
the scheme is good one and as
there are some of the strongest finan-
ciers in the United safes behind it
1t would look as though a new COM
pany should certainly be as successful
as are those concerns which insure
against cyclones, plate glass, break
age, fraudulent debtors and burglars.

Hal Reid, who next to Theodore Kremer has written more successful melodramas than any other play maker, built "The Cow Puncher,' which is the attraction at. Poli's to- night. The piece Is tale of life in Arizona and MT Reid has blended the rugged denizens of the plains into a delightful romance. He has taken that which is noblest and best in the man.

And when Geraldine Graham. the heroine, fresh from New York seeing him for the first time, exclaims Mature mold ed the type and called him American ' she sounds the keynote of his charac- ter.
