made the McCarty a stopping
place whenever possible, politi-

the general public "put up" there
to see and be seen.

vided in the feathered wild life Of the
continent IS the opinion expressed by
leading brnilhologists in this city to-

governors in Washington, Officers of
the National Association of Audubon
societies have decided to offer the CO.
operation of their organization in this
great work, in pushing which the as
sociation has becn the pioneer and
only active organization ever since its
incorporation. Although the workers
for bird preservation were not repre-
scented at the gubcrnatorial cOnclaye
at the White House, government au-
thOritics have assured them that the
protection Of the insect caters that in
sure life to crops, woods and waterways
should be one Of the first practical
means to the general end.

COMMERCE
Wall Street

New York, June 2.--The bun move
menf in stocks showed some evidence
of overstrain today During the first
hour the rate of activity was greater
than has been witnessed al the New
York stock exchange in a period OF
considerably over Il year, rranSac-
lions In Union Pacific were especially
heavy, a thousand shares being the
customary unit Of the sales recorded
on the tape in the aggressive advance
10 $50. As the . IL per cent divi-
dend has been deducted from the
price since it sold at l5l - last
month, today's price really represents
the highest OF the year At the round
figure such It flood of selling orders
was encountered which obstacle
proved insurmountable to a further
advance. This really proved the de-
cisive test of the market, although st.
Paul, Reading and southern Pacific
had risen vigorously in company with
Union Pacific, but not to last months
high grices.
In advancing Union Pacific use was
made Of rumors that the financing of
the company which has been in con-
temptation had been quietly affected
without formal public announcements.
These rumOrs remained without Off
Cial confirmation. and credence in
them waned consequently The sharp
rise in Missouri Pacific and in some of
the other Gould stocks was partly the
outgroWth of reiterated reports that
the reorganization of some of the
properties in that group now under
way or said to be in contemplation,
would strengthen the coherency of
the group and would introduce impor-
tant backing into the enterprises A
good effect was produced on specu-
lative sentiment by the mornings re-
ports of resumption of mill activity in
New England and some large mer-
chandise orders placed in concert by
st, Louis people. Textile trade re-
ports described the good effects of
curtailment of production in that
trade, the consequent depletion of
stocks and the reduction of prices fol-
lowing the lowering of wages. The
action in the Hartman Pacifics came
after the publication of the May earn
ings, which showed for Union Pa
cific reduction in operating expenses
twice as great as the falling off in
gross earnings, bat for Southern Pa
Cifie only about two-thrds as great
as the gross decrease. Stocks were
firm at the close with some recovery
from the reaction, Closing stocks:

Fires at Husband; Kills Her Son.

Mrs. Daniel Jenkins Saturday night
shot and instantly killed her 17-year-
old son in an attempt to kill her hus-
band. The Jenkins are farmers, liv-
ing eight miles east of De Witt. Mr..
Jenkins wanted to attend a meeting
of the Farmers Union Saturday night
but his wife positively forbade him to
leave the house, saying that if he at
tempted to do SO, she would kill him.
jenkins did not realize his danger,
but the boy, seeing his mother COM
ing with the gun, begged her to spare
his life.
Jenkins asked the woman to drop
the gun, but she rushed out and fired
at her husand, but the whole discharge
entered the breast of the boy, killing
him instantly.
Many believe her to be insane, as
there is insanity in her family. She is
still at home with her large family
of children, doing all her work as
though nothing unusual had happened,
but constantly asking some one to kill
her.

reward of $3.50.

the dead man was the slayer of
deputy Sheriff Chambers and Vernon
identified the negro.

San Jose Scale.

Many growers are now busy spray
ing their orchards for San Jose scale,
which has been discovered in the
vicinity of Sloan Springs. While this
Is a great pest and one to be greatly
feared, it has been proven over and
over that the little insects can be
killed by spraying, yet if they are let
alone they will soon ruin fruit trees.
There Is no reason for any great
alarm if growers act promptly and
a good percentage of them are taking
up the work in real earnest at this
place. The scale seems to be well
scattered all over the fruit district,
the great danger however being, that
growers, not knowing anything about
the little pest, let it get the start of
them. They multiply rapidly and a
few scales on a tree now will COM
pletely cover it in a season. Some
use the Scale Destroyer, a soluble
oil, that does the work, others use
the regular lime sulphur mixture that
is sure destroyer. The San Jose
scale not only destroys the tree by
sucking the saps, but it gets on the
fruit and simply spoils it, so that it
must be controlled In order to have
good fruit.

them fair count The C. l. U. has

it were, there appears to be no further

BRAIN POWER

food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes:-

children, had insufficient nourishment

eating it every morning, also gave it
to the children, including, my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as little pig, good natured and
contented.
within a week I had plenty of
two weeks. l wrote evenings and
feeling the need of sustained brain
power, began eating a small saucer of
Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my
usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, or

immigrants For Arkansas.

Of the 1,285,349 immigrants who
were admitted to the United States
during 1907, only GIT stated that their
destination was Arkansas. In 1906 the
number admitted was 1,100,735, of
whom All were destined to Arkansas.
In 1907, the classes of Arkansas-bound
aliens were: Miners, 81 tailors, g.;
farm laborers, 252; servants, "a; no
occupation, men women and children,
1862.
1t is noticeable that farm laborers
predominated among those who de-
clared an occupation, and it is safe 10
assume that of the others a number
went into farming. The government
recognizes the great need of the South
for farm labor, and the officials say
that when possible efforts will be made
to induce immigrants to go to South
ern states.
