Bakersfield, Cal. November 12.-A1ai.
Gen. William Rufus Shafter L. S. A.,
retired, died at 12:l5 p. m, today at the
ranch of Capt W. II. McKittrick, his soE-
in-law, twenty miles south of this city,
after an illness of seven days, despite the
best medical attention available in Cali
fornia. While returning from the polls
last Tuesday, General Shafter contracted
a severe chill, which augmented a slight
ndisposition and neeessitated confinement
to his bed. DIR. 7. ". MITCHELL the local
family physician was summoned. The pa
tient failed to improve. and DIR. A. Shafer
was called for consultation. Intestinal OBJ
struction was discovered. but it was deter
mined that this was a secondary afflictlon
brought on by an acute attack of pneu-
monia. Wednesday Thursday and Friday
no improvement was noticed.
Saturday afternoon a slight rally was
detected and relatives and physicians
We're extremely hopeful, but the change

A VALUABLE ACQUISITION.
Prof. Hansen, of South Dakota, Dis
covers a New Alfalfa in North
ern Siberia.

Washington, Nov. 17.-After twice
risking his life and once nearly los
ing it in the interest of agricultural
science, Prof n. E. Hansen, of the
South Dakota experiment station Of
the department of agriculture has
found in Northern Siberia an alfalfa
suited to the arid lands of the north
west where the winters are bitter and
cold.
Prof Hansen got on the track Of
the alfalfa year ago but was so
late in searching for 1t that he was
badly frozen in Siberia. Despite
this experience. he made another
trial this year and has just informed
SECRETARY Wilson that he has been
successful and is on his way back
with seed.
The alfalfa Prof. Hansen has dis
covered has a yellow flower instead
of a blue. 1t is at native of the
dry Steppes of Siberia and grow
well where the mercury falls to SO
or 40 below zero. The country is
exceedingly dry and yet the new al
falfa is an excellent forage plant.
Prof. Hansen has secured the seed
and it will receive thorough test in
the near future by the department.

Amount Of state Tax.

A statement issued by the auditor
of s's.s shows that the amount OF
money due the state in taxes from the
various counties at the beginning of
the present tax year, November l, was
| $1,000, 55020. The money will be paid
to the state by the county treasurers
when the auditor and treasurer make
drafts each month for the current OK
penses of the state for the next month.
The amount of taxes due from Wyan.
dotte county is $12S,735.G9 and is the
largest which will be paid by any
county. Sedgwick is second with $751;
4151G, and Shawnee third with $751;

Latest Kansas Events.
No $4,000 from Hutchinson.

The city of Hutchinson cannot is
sue $4,000 in bonds to aid the Inter
urban railway company of that city
in building its line. A year ago q
new street Car company was organized
in Hutchinson and the city voted $780,
600 in bonds The water, light and
gas company decided that 1t would
not pay its share Of the city tax,
which would be levied on account OF
the bond issue, and brought salt to
test the legality of the bonds. The dis
trict court Of Reno county sustained
the bonds, but the supreme court
knocked them out on the ground that
the Kansas laws do not authorize
city of the first or second class to vote
and issue bonds to purchase lands for
right of way, depot grounds and ter
mnal facilities to railroad com
pany whose entire lines Is confined
within the corporate limits of such
city, The city of Hutchinson claimed
tie right to issue bonds for street
car line the same as If the bonds were
for a railroad company.

Bacteria.

The discovery of bacterial life, and
the reduction Of its activity to order
and a place in our industrial systems,
lis romantic chapter in Applied Sci
ence. One of the tasks to which these
Woodworking little cells have been
most lately set is connected with that
urgent problem of urban life, the dis
posal of sewage. Sewage not only
teens with disease-producing germs,
but its solid part is composed largely
of organic matter. The natural"
breaking down of organic matter is
through putrefaction, a process both
disagreeable and dangerous to health.
By the aid of bacteria this process of
organic chemistry is now replaced by
"a process of inorganic chemistry. In
loose terms, the sewage rusts instead
of rotting, is nitrified instead Of putre-
fled. The existence of bacteria which
have the power OF converting organic
matter into inorganic nitrates have
been known for some time, and with
in a few years they have been used
to revolutionize one side of the sci
ence of sanitary engineering. The
modern sewage-disposal plant con-
sists, essentially, of a heap Of rocks
covered with film OF these bacteria.
The sewage flows on to 1t a stream of
unimaginable impurity. The bacteria
seize upon the filth and cleanse the
liquid, and from beneath the heap
flows pure water laden with harmless
salts.

A Leavenworth Joint Order.

The campaign for law enforcement
has created a sentiment at Leaven-
worth which caused the mayor, Peter
Everhardy, to issue an order for the
closing of all joints where women are
permitted in the same building. If
this is carried out it will result in clos
ing about dozen low dives. There
is a strong demand among business
men for curbing of the joints. Sun
day closing and a removal of all liquor
street signs is demanded.

A Pioneer.

Samuel j, Reeder, who lives on a
farm at Indianola, four miles north
west of Topeka, on Soldier creek, is
one of the Oldest pioneers in Kansas.
He came to Kansas in the spring OF
1855, and settled on farm in Indian
ola in July of the same year, where
he has lived ever since. When he
took his homestead no government
survey had been made, but he staked
out his claim and trusted to the sur
vey that he knew would be made later.
He has made his home on that same
farm ever since and has been actively
engaged in farming except during the
Civil war, and until he was disabled
with rheumatism a few years ago.
Mr.. Reeder has diary which he be-
gan keeping in 1855, and which con-
tains an interesting history Of his ex-
periences in Kansas.

Ventilation In Winter.

1t Is beginning to be more generally
realized that the overheating and
faulty ventilation of dwellings is an
important factor in predisposing to
many forms of illness. The custom
of living in rooms habitually kept at
temperature above 70 degrees Fab
renheit, and with the atmosphere sur
charged with noxlous gases and def.
cient in the moisture necessary for
the health of the delicate Innings OF
the air passages, renders the body
much less able to resist the effects OF
exposure to cold and wet, and is one
of the most important reasons why, in
some families, coughs and colds are
matters of everyday occurrence. The
STIFFNESS of the air produced by the
presence of numerous people in small
rooms Is due not only to the consump-
ton of oxygen and the accumulation
of carbon dioxid gas, but also to the
formation in small quantities of a
highly poisonous substance called
'crowd-poison." In addition, noxious
gases arise from the imperfect COM
Ibustion Of coal in stoves or furnaces
and Of gas or oil in other forms of
heaters, while the air in steam.heated
apartments is always abnormally dry
unless special pains are taken to sup
Iply the necessary moisture. Living in
such rooms is productive Of general
depression, headache, inability to con-
Icentrate the thoughts and bad tenn
per, and Is particularly harmful for
children, whose bodily and mental de-
velopment is interfered with, and who
are rendered very susceptible to dis
eases of tibet nose, throat and lungs.
Owing to the means Of heating and
the increased amount of artificial H.
Illumination, says the Youths Compan-
lion, the frequent airing of rooms is
even more essential in winter than in
summer, and at least once day fresh
air from outdoors should be allowed
to circulate through each room. II
the apartment must be occupied while
this is done, thorough ventilation is
possible without danger by resort to
an old and simple, but very effective,
plan. A board about six inches wide
is cut so that its length equals the
width Of the window, and is placed on
the edge under the lower sash, which
is shut down upon it. In this way air
enters freely through the space be-
tween the two sashes, but the current
is directed upward, and no draft Is
felt in the room. 1t should not be for.

escape of the stale air at the same
time that fresh air is being admitted,

A Well.Known Remedy.

One Of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the
world to-day is Brandreth's Pills---a'
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable, they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety, and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect,
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, in
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from impurity of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

Normal Students Prosperous.

Every year the students at the Kan
sas State Normal become more pros
porous. Never in the history of the
school have so many of the students
put on the appearance of prosperity.
Emporia people who have always de.
pended on their help in the winter
are having a hard time finding anyone
to do their odd jobs. Normal board
ing houses complain that they have
the same trouble. Emporia merchants
say they are selling more goods to
Normal students this year than any
year before. At the normal office,
there are more calls from people want
ing students to work than ever before
and fewer students who are ready to
respond to these calls.
