NEGRO SHOOTS WHITE.
A New Phase of the Race War in
Springfield Troubles.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-A dispatch to
the Record Herald from Springfield,
ILL.,, says:
Andrew J. Gordon, negro, former
member Of the St. Louis Detective De-
partment, was arrested yesterday by
deputies on charge of shooting Will
liam Bowe, chief deputy to County
Treasurer James A. Hall, during the
recent riot in Springfield. Bowe is a
patient in St. Johns hospital and pro-
badly will recover The arrest Of
Gordon followed an investigation that
has extended over week. Gordon
denied his guilt.
Bowe was returning to his home on
the night of the riot when he was held
up by a mob Of negroes and robbed
of his diamond ring and SIS.
Afterward all attempt was made to
hang Bowe, but William Farmer a
negro, made plea and the mans life
was spared. Gordon is said to have
fred a shot in Bowe's body as the
man was on the ground When the
deputies went to arrest Gordon many
white residents assembled. They were
soon dispersed, although Gordon was
taken to the county jail where the
case will be probed by the special

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. : The
losses to the cattle men in the western
states from larkspur poisoning ev-
cry year have been so serious that
the Government is making a vigorous
effort to find an antidote for the poi
son, as we'll as to eradicate the plant
itself.
In the Gunnison National Forest,
Colorado, the losses TO rne stockmen
last season from larkspur were con-
servatively estimated to equal almost
Eve per cent of the total number of
cattle grazed upon that Forest.
Its effects are almost immediate
Death follows the eating OF the plant
within few hours. For this reason
remedies are of little avail because the
animals are generally dead before they
are discovered.
Experts from the Bureau of Plant
Industry, in cooperation with the For
est Service, have made careful and
psinstaking investigations in the field,
with view OF lessening the losses as
far as possible, while several differ
ant plans have been tried in hopes OF
completely destroying the plant.
Larkspur grows very luxuriously in
the early spring. On the Gunnison
Forest in June, 1908, the Forest Off
GERS counted more than 1900 plants
m blossom upon a single square rod.
The plant seems to be more poison
Gus in hot, damp weather than in dry
seasons, and it has been observed that
when the ground is hard and dry, so
that in eating it the stems break off,
having the roots in the ground, it is
not so deadly in its effects.
Since certain areas are we'll known
TO be badly infested with larkspur, the
stockmen have been in the habit of
herding their cattle from such places.
As far as possible, these areas will be
fenced by the Forest Service. On
Uther areas where it is not so plenti-
ful the plants will be dug out by the
Forest rangers, and also moved off
to prevent seeding again.
1t has also been found that the plant

dows the Iarkspur could be gradually
smothered and replaced by a valu

If this plan is supported by good
evidence this season, timothy will be

mans memorable march from Atlanta

city OF Savannah was occupied by the
Union troops and the most remarkable
march in the history of the war ended
General Sherman became convinced az
ter a series of indecisive operations
against General Hood that the aim of
the latter was to draw him out of
Georgia. He determined on marching
to tho sea, cutting swath OF de-
vastation through the heart OF the
Conlederacy, and destroying, as far as
possible, the sources of the Confad
crates supplies.
After burning Atlanta, breaking up
the railway and sending part of his
army 10 re-enfOrce General Thomas at
Nashville, Sherman started with about
10000 men ON his great march. He
ordered his troops to forage literally
oil the country and it was carried out
without restriction. The devastation
along the line of mach was most COM

~ no force to oppose the advance and
wnen Sherman entered Savannah he
had lost but 103 killed, 42S wounded
and z18 missing. Sherman moved

The Biggest Wedding.

The biggest wedding ever known to
history was when Alexander the Great
and over 10000 of his soldiers took part
in Il wedding in the court OF Darius
King OF Persia, after the latters con-
quest by Alexander. Twenty thousand
two hundred and two persons We're
made husbands and wives in one GER
enOny.
The facts are these: After conuuering
King Darius. Alexander determined TO
we'd Statiro. daughter Of the conquered
King. and issued a decree that on that
occasion 100 of his chief officers should
marry 100 women from the noblest
Persian and Medean families. He. fur
ther stipulated that 10000 of his Greek
soldiers should take to wife 10000
Asiatic women.
For thlS purpose Il vast pavilion was
erected, the pillars being 60 feet high.
One hundred gorgeous chambers ad-
joined this for the 10000 soldiers an
outer court was inclosed. Outside OF
this tables were Sprean for the multi
tude.
EEach pair had seats and arranged
themselves in semi-circlc round the
royal throne. AS it would have taken
several weeks for the few priests to
have married this vast numer of coup-
les had the ceremony been performed
IN the ordinary way. Alexan nder invent
ed q simple way out of the difficulty
he gave his hand to Statiro and kissed
her. and all the remaining bridegrooms
dld the same to the women beside
them: and thus ended the ceremony
that united the greatest number OF
people at one time ever known.
Then occurred a five days festival
which for grandeur and magnificence
never has been equaled.-Los Angeles

The Future Church.

What the church of the distant fu-
ture will be has been a much dis
cussed subject in recent years. The
idealisIs have dreamed many dreams
and practical men have made many
plans. both classes realizing that the
place and work of the church in the
community is not what it was CEN
tury ago and that it is not at all like
ly to be the same 4 century hence as
it is row. Rev. John L. Scudder, d.
D.. of Jersey City is somewhat in adj
vance of his times and in 4 recent ad-
dress declared that the church of the
future will be IAN ecclesiastical depart
ment store which will supply practical
~ all the needs of man." The COM
parison is not very inspiring or upiift-
ing, though no doubt DR.. Scudder
meant well. However, many of the
big city churches are already run much
on the department store plan without
