terest Excited.

1t was rumored in Nashville Sat
urday that the defense of DR.. ]. Her
man Feist to the charge that he was
connected with the disappearance OF
Mrs. Rosa Mangrum would be an
alibi.
His friends assert that every move.
nent of the accused man on the night
Mrs. Mangrum's disappearance can be
accounted for. The case excited con-
siderable interest about the city Sat
urday, and as subject of discussion
divided time with the convention
held at the court house. Nothing new
developed from the arrest, further
proceedings going over until Monday,
when the evidence against DR.. Feist
will probably be presented to the
grand jury.
Proceedings before the grand jury
are usually one-sided, the prosecu-
ton presenting its facts, upon which
the jurymen determine if there is a
prima facie case, but it is thought
that DR.. Feists attorneys will make
IN effort to have his witnesses go be-
ore the grand jury, and by proving
an abb prevent the return of a true
bill. In the event of a successful ac-
ton of this kind it is expected that
the prosecution will again bring the
matter before the next grand jury.
The evidence in the hands of the
prosecution is thought to be entirely
circumstantial, but it is thought that
in view of the seriousness of the
charge and the lack of authority on
its part to thoroughly go into the de-
tails, the grand jury will most likely
return true bill and let the charge
be thoroughly sifted before Judge
and jury.
1t was stated by friends of Dr. Feist
that he had been expecting arrest
for several weeks, and during that
time his attorneys have secured evil
dence which, in their opinion will ac-
quit him of the charge. The prose
cution, through Detective Sidebot-
tom, Irwin and Dowd, have worked
up proof which they consider strong.
The prosecution experienced some
difficulty in agreeing upon who should
sign the warrant for the arrest. Mem
bers of the family were in consulta-
ton for several days before this was
finally fixed upon, and it is thought
that the report of the physicians up
on the result of the analysis of the
dead woman's stomach precipitated
it. The result of the analysis is not
known.
DR.. Feist's friends deride the at
tempt to place the responsibility of
the woman's death upon him. Many
Of them called at his Office in the Will |

and their belief in his |
innocence.

A Camphor Tree.
By M. 7. Baton.

Probably most of the boys and girls who
begin to read "A Camphor Tree Will think
OF a queer-smelling, gummy little white
tree, just as funny looking as the snow
man out in the back yard; or as funny
even. as the gingerbread lady that cook
makes. But this Is not the kind of cam
phor tree that mean.
When children are sick in bed with colds
and have to take medicine their mothers
often give them little white sugar-coa ted
camphor pills. How many children know
where the camphor in these pills comes
from? II comes from tree. And this tree
Is what am going to tell you about now.
The camphor travels thousands and
thousands of miles across either the Allan
tic or the Pacific ocean. For most OF the
camphor used In medicine comes from Asia,
from the islands OF Borneo. Sumatra and
Java, and from southern Japan And In
Pormoss. Japan's new province. more cam
pEor trees grow than In any other coun-
try in the world.

laurel. The young trees distil from their
bark a sticky fluid the color of straw. his
fluid is the oil of camphor, and your moth
ers rub your chests with 1t the nights you
have to go to bed early with croupy colds.
Camphor is not taken from the tree the
way sap Is taken from the maple to be
made into sugar. Every part of q camphor
tree has camphor in 1t. leaves, branches.
roofs and trunk. So the whole tree has to
be cut down and chopped into bits. Then
these camphor chips are put into big iron
kettle and partly covered with water. A

I came in sight of the most astonishing
