started shooting.
The first shot caught Schlagheck in
the chin, knocking him completely
around. AS he whirled three more
shots struck him in the back. Deaun-
nee drew his weapon. His first shot
broke Myers wrist. Then Deunnee

both and held them at bay with his
revolver till the patrol wagon reached

WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS.
They Are of the Greatest Benefit to
Growing Flowers.

Prof. Darwin said that if it had not
been for insects we should never have
had any more imposing or attractive
flowers than those of the elm, the hop
and the nettle. Lord Avebury COM
pares the work of the insect to that of
the florist. He considers that just as
the florist has by selection produced
the elegant blossoms of the garden, so
the insects, by selecting the largest
and brightest blossoms for fertiliza-
ton, have produced the gay flowers of
the field. Prof. Plateau, of Client, has
carried out a series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways of insects visit
ing flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color, and in the connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attraction
In flowers to insects-as yet, it ap-
pears undefined-it is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike,
making no distinction between the
large, bright-colored ones and the less
conspicuous blossoms like those of the
currants, the lime, the planetree, the
nettle and the willow.

FORMER REBELS LAUD YANKEES
Plan Farewell to Taft and Bacon to
Show Appreciation of America.

Havana, Oct. IAN immense
crowd of liberals, mostly negroes,
from all parts of Havana and its
suburbs, met Brig. Gen. Arenciba and
other returning ex-rebel chiefs at the
terminus of the Western railroad
Thursday evening and escorted them
across the city to the liberal head
quarters, where there was a general
jollification.
Upon arriving at liberal headquar-
tiers the rooms were found filled with
people. Various addresses were
made expressing satisfaction at the
results of the revolution and lauding
American Intervention. The speech
making continued at intervals until a
late hour Thursday night. Uproar-
ious applause greeted the speech of
Jose Castellanos, who advocated bid
ding farewell to Messrs. Taft and Ba-
con with big demonstration in order
to impress them with the fact that
the liberal party appreciated the deal
ings of the United States with Cuba,
and to cause President Roosevelt to
realize the sympathy of the liberals
with American endeavors Senior
Castellanos said, in conclusion, that
the American commissioners must
leave Cuba carrying no doubt of Gu
ba's affection for the nation and peo-
pie who twice had freed the Cubans
from the yoke of tyranny.

AMERICANS ARE CHAMPIONS
CHICAGO WHITE SoX TAKE FOUR
OUT OF SIX GAMES.
Win Last Contest of Post-Season Sc
ries for Worlds Emblem by
Score of 8 to 8.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-President. Charles
A. Comiskey, of the White Sox cele-
brated the twentieth anniversary of
his first worlds championship Sunday
by watching his ''hitless wonders"
bring that honor to him for the third
time, when the White Sox, on their
own grounds outbatted and clearly
outplayed the Giant Killers in the de-
Gliding game for the greatest honor in
baseball, and won the series by the
score of to 3.
1t was 20 years ago to the day that
the st. Louis Browns, headed by
Comiskey, defeated Anson's old White
Stockings in the last game of the
memorable series in ten innings by
the score of 4 to 8. Again, in 1887,
did Comiskey win the worlds honors,
but the dearest victory of all was the
humbling of the strongest team that
the National league ever had
The White Sox, who came from alb
solutely nowhere in the American
league pennant chase and won the
flag showed beyond the shadow of a
doubt that they were the masters of
Frank Chances great machine Miner
Brown, acknowledged to be the best
pitcher of the season in the old league,
was buried under an avalanche of
hits at the start of the game and
forced to leave the box in the second
inning. Big Orval Overall took his
place, but the game was won and Os-
sizes herculean efforts counted for
nothing.
Doc White. who was batted out of
the box in the game of Wednesday,
secured ample revenge by holding the
terrible swatters safe all the way.
The men who led the National league
in team hitting were forced to be con-
tent with seven hits, while the men
who finished last in team batting in
the American league amassed IA safe
ones, nearly all of which counted in
the scoring.

The AIhambra CrumbIinq.

Since more and more American
tourists visit Spain each year, the
news that the Alhambra, the Mecca
Of all pilgrims to that country, is in
greater danger of total destruction
than ever before will arouse wide
spread interest in this country. The
government contributes $4,000 pesetas
a year for its preservation, but that
sum has proved quite inadequate for
present urgent needs, and one cannot
help wishing therefore, that some
wealthy American art patron might
immortalize himself by coming to the
rescue. That the Alhambra has sur
vived to this day Is in itself marvel.
During its five centuries of existence
it has been subjected to severe trials.
Shattered, at one time, by an explo-
sion, and shaken by earthquakes, it
has at other times sunk so low as to
be habitation of smugglers, and
even stable for French army horses.
The present danger, explains the New
York Post. lies in the fact that the
foundations are being undermined by
water from the old ruined conduits.
Not only are the government appro-
priations insufficient to meet this con-
dition, but the situation is compli-
Gated by a quarrel among the three
directors. This has resulted in the
resignation, after 35 years of service
of the eminent expert in oriental arch
itecture, Senior Contreras. He has
restored many of the tiles, as well as
the figures and colors and the other
mural decorations, thus giving fair
idea of what the Moorish palace was
In the days of its glory.

COTTON is DAMAGED BY FROST
Oklahoma and Indian Territory Report
Yield of Half Bale Per Acre.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 12.-Advices
from important cotton sections of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory are to
the effect that the crop was material
ly damaged by the frost. The crop
was practically made, but much of the
cotton has not yet matured, and the
plant in that stage will be killed. A
conservative estimate cleaned from
the reports places the yield at one-half
bale per acre.
Cotton markets In the two terri
tories are flooded and gins are work
ing night and day to dispose of the
offerings. Seed cotton in many places
is lying on the ground at the mercy of
the weather. There is $350,000 worth
of the baled product in the local COM
press.

Misuse of the Telephone.

Calling husband up maliciously on
the telephone, day and night, has been
ruled in Massachusetts, not to be an
actionable misdemeanor in a wife.
The Judge added, however, by way of
gratuitous observation, this: 81 think
that one having a telephone in his
house could enjoin a person from con-
tinuously ringing him up day and
night upon unimportant matters which
he had no right to do, to the loss of
sleep and rest to the occupant and to
his great annoyance" With new
methods of communication come new
subjects for lawyers and the rest of
us to discuss. Take rural free deliv-
cry, for instance With the telephone,
says Golfers, this Is changing the
most important aspects of country life.
Some persons oppose 1t because,
among other reasons, it costs money.
Such persons would probably oppose
the mail service If 1t were a newer
question. The rural free delivery, like
every means of intercourse, will not
be set back, but rather be larger fac.
tor constantly in our civilization. Mr..
Olmsted, the great landscape gardener
who did so much to ruralize the cities,
said that a still more important duty
was to urbanize the country, making
it more attractive and more nourish-
ing to the mind than the tenements of
a slum.

CUBAN BANKER STILL MISSING

New York, Oct. 13.-No clew to the

ballos & Co., of this city, which pre-
cipitated the assignment of the firm,

been rife as to his destination, and tho
guess which gains the most belief is
that he has gone to Venezuela. 1t is
stated that Silveira is a close friend
of President Castro of Venezuela, and
from this 1t is argued that he will
put in a Venezuela port and use the
friendship of Castro as a protection
against arrest.

Rock Island, ILL.,. Oct. 12.-Free dis
tribution of seeds by congressman was

VICTIM TELLS HOW DEALERS AS.
ISOLATION FRoZE OUT
OPPOSITION.
With Aid of Railroads, Which Refused
to Furnish Cars to Independents,
They Compelled Farmers to Sell to
Members of the Combine.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-"The railroads
and the Illinois Grain Dealers associa-
ton have robbed me of the savings of
lifetime. They have driven me from
business, and with the care of wife
and a crippled child ON my hands I
am virtually dependent on my friends
for my daily meals. This combination
is monster, and the throats Of the
farmers of the state are in it's grip"
tiac, Ill, who for Is years was a grain
dealer at that station, told his story
before the session of the interstate
commerce commission that began it's
hearings in Judge Bethea's courtroom
in the federal building Monday. Tears
streamed down Aygarn's face. He
sobbed as he testified to his losses.
Tried to Fight Association.
Il was at one time member of the
association" said Aygarin, ''but, in Or
der to help out friend, incurred the
displeasure of it's officials and found
it hard to get cars in which to ship
my grain. Foolishly, 1 thought l
could fight them and 1 withdrew, and
then it became impossible for me to
get cars. 1 contracted for grain and
the farmers, most of whom did all
they could to help me, held their con-
signments as long as they safely could,
hoping every day that l could get the
cars.
Rivals Got Cars.
"Then they were forced to sell to
the regular association man at my sta
ton and the next day the Wabash
railroad furnished all the cars he
wanted, though 1 had been waiting for
weeks Other times, when l got cars
the companies refused to haul them
and on one occasion I was compelled
to unload a car that had stood on the
Illinois Central switch for weeks be-
cause the farmer who owned the grain
feared he would lose his market. He
shipped through the regular dealer
and there was no trouble in getting
the cars hauled.

thousands. 1t makes me heartsick to
think of it, after all the years I have
labored."
Forced Out of Business.
H. H. Carr, formerly a commission
man on the board of trade, told in a
dramatic fashion of his struggle
against the same forces which Aygarn
said had forced him out of business.
Laying two record books on the table
before him Carr said:
There are the names of 1000 farm
ers situated in the central western
states, who at one time were custom
ers of mine. All of them have been
forced to quit dealing with me. | have
been boycotted and blacklisted by the
associations in this and other states
and by the railroads, and as conse-
quence / am busted l haven't any
thing to-day but the right to protest

Lower Animals in Sickness.

Man might often take from the low.
er animals lesson as to the care of
himself when ill. All sorts of animals
suffering from fever eat little; lie
quiet in dark, airy places, and drink
quantities of water. When a dog loses
his appetite he knows where to find
dog grass, which acts as purgative
and emetic. Sheep and COWS, when
ill, seek certain herbs. Any animal
suffering from chronic rheumatism
keeps as far as possible from the
sun. If a chimpanzee be wounded he
has been seen to stop the bleeding by
a plaster of chewed-up leaves and
grass.
