Permanent Fences.

The farmer should avoid building
temporary fences, unless 1t Is his in.
tention to remove them occasionally
to make way for his rotation of crops.
Most farmers, however, do not do this;
but expect always to keep n fence in
place. One cause of loss on American
farms is the lack of permanency In the
fences. A man should build a fence
that will last a lifetime. He should
select posts that will not decay and
have them so long that he caa set
them deeply in the ground. In fact
they should be set so that neither the
frosts .or gales nor floods can shake
them. 1t takes a little longer to build
a fence of this kind, but In the years
TO come the extra labor at the begin.
ming will be found to be economy.

A good deal Of nonsense Is being
talked and written by opponents of
spelling reform about the danger that
words will lose their chronological
identity: that their derivation will bs
lost or obscured. and all that. But az
. matter of fact, says the Indianapo.
lis News, only the scholars are con.
scious OF the derivation of words in
any large degree, and no matter how
you change the spelling they will re-
main just as conscious of the source
and origin of words as they are now.
Indeed, some philologists assure us
that derivation would more easily be
traced and followed in the simplifed
or phonetic spelling than in the pres.
ent illogical and wildly varying forms
and symbols. There is no more
doubt. to take a single example, of the
derivation Of flosofy than of philos.

STORM RAVAGES
SOUTHERN STATES

Louisville, KY, Sept. 2S.-The trop.
fcal hurricane which for the past
twenty-four hours has been churning
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and
doing much damage on the coast and
far inland, is whipping through north
Alabama in a northeasterly direction
at velocity but slightly less than
that recorded in New Orleans during
the day. Reports received by The
Associated Press do not indicate any
loss Of life, but the damage to prop
erty over the territory touched by the
storm is something enormous. All
wire communication is seriously dis
arranged and in some instances has
resulted in cutting off cities complete
ly, Mobile, Ala, not having been heard
from in nearly twenty-four hours:
Numerous washouts have occurred,
the interruption from this cause ex-
tending for thirty miles. Pensacola,
where the maximum velocity of wind
was probably felt early yesterday
morning, reports property loss of
100000 in the city alone, and sends
rumors of loss of life.

but it was a long time before as.
sistance could be secured.
The bodies of the dead engineer and

NEWSPAPERS SUPPRESS
ExTRAS-SALOONS ARE
CLOSED.

Atlanta, Ga. The known dead
in connection with the riots here
since last Saturday night number
one white mar and IS negroes
To this number might be added the
name of Mrs. Robert P. Thompson,
an estimable white woman, who
dropped dead Monday evening after
seeing two negroes shot and beaten
in front of her home.
Tuesday, the third day of Atlanta's
race war, passed without serious dis
turbances. Rumors literally by the
hundreds have been brought to the at
tention of the authorities and to the
newspapers, but not in single in
stance had any of the horrible tales
been verified. Indeed, the opposite
has been established-that they were
absolutely false.
Sane Distribution Of News.
The charge was made that so ne
groes had been killed here and that
the local papers and the press associa-
tons were either being censored or
were suppressing the facts. Every
bit of information that could be gath
cred and verified has appeared in the
local papers. The papers here have
united in an agreement to print only
established facts, to issue no more
specials or extras on the riots and
the agreement is being lived up to.
Following the arrest of 257 negroes
at Brownville, and Clark university
early Tuesday and the detention of
about 100 of these in the county Jail,
the feeling prevailed that at least
peace has been restored by strong
show Of authority.
Two Negroes Killed.
Almost simultaneously two negroes
were killed in a distant part of the
city by three policemen, who had been
sent to stop them shooting, and the

INTERURsAN TO NEWTON.
Polk Company Expects to Start Work
Thia Fall

Polk Company Expects to start Work
This Fall.
| Des MoineS: The Inter.Urban Rail-
way company has decided to extend
It's Colfax line to Newton, a distance
Of about eleven miles. Some of the
preliminary work may be done yet
this fall, but the main construction
work will not be started until next
spring.
The citizens of Newton have taken
the matter up and have held some
preliminary meetings. A committee
representing Newton's Commercial
club met and canvassed the situation
AMI representatives of the interurban
Of the Newton Commercial club is to
be held within few days which will
be attended by President H. H. Polk
and other officers of the company AMI
the entire proposition will be can
vassed.
The Commercial Club of Newton
will probably take up the work Of Sc
curing for the interurban company the
entrance into the city of Newton,
which the company desires. The COM
pany is not asking for franchise, but
merely right of way under the same
law which permits a steam road to
enter city. The street now being
considered as an entrance is Washing
ton street, running east and west just
north of the principal retail section
of Newton. If the interurban line Is
able to enter ct the west end of Wash
ington street it can run east on Wash
ington street through the city to a
point where connections can be made
with the Iowa Central railroad. A,
the west end Of Washington street
where the line enters the city it would
cross the Rock Island and the Newton
& Northwestern tracks.
The interurban company has stated
that it will agree to do its freight
business inside the city limits OF New
ton during the first six hours of the
day or from midnight to a. m, and
to run only passenger cars through
the city during the day. The use OF
this street will give the company &C
cess to the factory district, much VI
which lies in the vicinity of Washing
ton street and out of which the COM
pany expects to secure considerable
business.
Abel citizens are making strenuous
efforts to get line to that city.

The National Druggist says that not
4 few OF the coffee substitutes which
are advertised as preferable to coffee
contain more or less coffee. This may
be tested by shaking teaspoonful in
. bottle half full Of water. The bot.
tie must be thoroughly shaken, so as
to wet every particle Of the sample,
when nearly all Of the non-coffee in.
gradients will sink to the bottom
and the coffee float on the top. The
reason for this is that coffee contains
a large amount of oil which buoys up
the particles. Peas. beans, wheat,
corn, chicory, etc., are heavier than
water and. having no oil. sink to the

race as for those of the whites. They

he has been able to prepare a fluid
named "tulose," differing radically
from DR.. Koch's tuberculin. by us
ing which he had been able to CHECK
the infection of animals by malignan'
tuberculosis bacilili. He frankly ad
mitted. however, that he had not ye

he considered the future discovery o
such q serum extremely doubtful
Yet It was not impossible that b!

Post clinical experiments have shown
that injections Of this new fluid are
Of value in the treatment Of children
suffering from tuberculosis or scrof

Behring announced that, until further
experiments have shown for just what
uses "tulose" is best adapted, it viii
be dispensed only to few select hos
pitfalls and clinics, which will pledge
themselves to use 1t only in accord
ance with certain conditions pro
scribed by him. II this calm state
