There ls great deal of talk these
d.r about the uunwritten law" The
unwritten law is bright but its pro-
visions ought to be written in burning
flaming letters, that any man who
does these things, prohibited, by inn
plieation, shall die. Men of the BY
waters and Stanford White type should
b, killed. but it would be better to en-
power some near relative OF their VIC
timsto execute the decree.

 The bolt which killed Barnes and the mules merely rendered the hoy unconscious, although he was seated beside Barnes ou the wagon. How long the boy re- mained unconscious he does not know, but on regaiuing his senses he was still so confused in his ideas that he thought he had merely fallen asleep.

 Then he remembered the siorm and the blinding fash of liz : ming, and he for the first timv came to realization of xhai | Y occurred. The fatality occtrr' on the public road.

my wife was milking she was bitten on the foot by a copper head. The snake stuck its fangs into her foot and wrapped itself around her ankle and it took con siderable effort to get 1t loose.
 As we ran to the house l happened to think of whstl had seen in The Star and tied cord above the bite and applied tur- pentine and put her foot in a pan filled with coal oil. In two hours she went to sleep and slept until the sun was up the next morning, with no suffering. The remedy is certainly good.

NEEDS GOVERNMENT s AID
Lakes to Gulf Route Necessary to Control Trade With West Coast
 of South America.
JOHN BARReTT's STATEMENT ON SUBJECT
Director of international Bureau of American Republics Declares That If Deep Waterway Is Not Provided Other Nations Will Secure the Gov eted Trade.

Chicago, Sept 10.--The great middle west will control the trade of the en- tir~ west coast of South America when the Panama canal Is completed, providing the deep waterways from the lakes to the gulf is constructed. Otherwise it will be Japan, Germany and England which will exercise com mercial sway over this vast empire to be opened up."
 This statement was made Sunday by John Barrett, director of the Interna- tional Bureau of American Republics, who has been in Chicago for several days comforting with men interested in the deep waterway proposition. It is his contention that the federal gov ernment should lend all the aid neces- sary for the construction of this ship canal to make the great advantages of the Panama canal available to the Mississippi valley. Mir. Barrett said !:
 Tt is not excessive to estimate the value of products which these repub- lies will then be purchasing from for. eign countries at $500,O00.000
 The major portion of these sup plies will come from America if the great manufacturing centers of the middle west are provided with water transportation. It requires no stretch of imagination to conceive boats or barges loaded in Chicago. Joliet or other points in this manufacturing dis trict making the entire trip. America has been slow to improve it's water ways. much more so than any other of the great powers, and 1t is time we awoke to the advantages to be ob taired."
