on hand, and during the action of the
play bids a high price for an oscu-
latory favor from his disguised Wife,
who makes herself known, with &C
companying laughable results. Ed
Armstrong as Brown and VIII Arm
strong as Hogan in the first act and
the Chinaman in the second act take
care of the comedy roles. During the
Chinatown scene the dance of 1.-THE
Seven Wells is given by Mile. Aimee,
who does the dance very gracefully and
was accorded several encores. Among
the numbers sung during the progress
of the sketch were 1.-THE Telephone
Girl" by Ethel Davis, Bridget Nc
Cue" by Magdalene Holly, and I'm
the Man" by Barney Williams.
Staley and Birbeck, in their Novelty
Transformation" act offer one of the
best vaudeville features of the local
season at the Orpheum this week. The
shop in which the musical black
smiths" appear and play on anvils and
cart wheels suddenly is transformed
into drawing room, with the players
in evening dress instead of caps and
aprons The transformation Is accom-
plished so quickly that 1t forms q
startling illusion of magic.
The bill on the whole is good the
best of last weeks numbers having
been retained. The Misses Hengler, the
Horton company and the Millman trio
continue to hold the audience. Lew
Hawkins, the Chesterfield of minstrel
sy," sang several entertaining songs
and delivered a comparatively new as
sortment of jokes. WEIGH Mealy and
Montrose pleased the audience with
their baseball sketch. WEIGH, the big
one, would be funny enough even If he
had nothing to say or do. They con-
stitute one of the best slapst1ck trios In
vaudeville.
The new policy of the Empire theater,
including a free matinee Monday after
moons, went into effect yesterday. A
vaudeville bill of more than usual
merit Is promised, as well as the re-
appearance of the Empire stock COM
pany in one-act farce, "A Good job"
Bicycle BILL" in a series of lariat
throwing and gun and knife juggling
stunts while mounted on his bicycle, is
the headliner of the olio. Incidentally
the house has been furnished up with a
new coat of paint, new lobby decora-
lions and electric lights.

ALLEGED NIGHT RIDERS ON
TRIAL; CLANSMEN PRESENT

UNION CITY, Tenn, Dec. 14.-Late
today eight men, alleged leaders of the
night rider band of Reelfoot Lake,
were placed on trial charged with the
putting to death of Captain Quentin
Rankin, a prominent attorney of Tren-
ton, the eliminating act of a series OF
outlawry so high-handed as to call
forth the mastering of the soldiery of
the state to aid the civil authorities In
the hunting down and prosecution OF
the members of the clan.
Judge Joseph e. Jones will preside at
the trial From Reelfoot Lake and
other strongholds of the clan men are
pouring into Union City.
The states organized force is pre-
pared, however, to put down any pos
sible outbreak in its incipiency.

Care should always be taken to secure
a free outlet for the drains, and to
protect the outlet with concrete
bulkhead or catchbasin, which can al
ways be kept clean and the outlet free.
The kind Of tile to be used depends

property made are equally as good
as clay tile. Which kind to use ia en-
,tirely a local question of dollars and
cents. II concrete tile can be made
more cheaply than clay tile can be had

One great advantage Of the concrete
tile is that they can be easily made
by the local users at or near the place
where they are to be placed, so that
the freight charges are dispensed with

great care should be taken to see that
a good grade of Portland cement is
selected, and that the drains are prop
erly constructed. The Impression,
which prevails to some extent, that
tile disintegrates is erroneous.
A bulletin is now in course of prep

LARKSPUR POISONING
ON NATIONAL FORESTS

The losses to the cattle men in the
western states from larkspur poison
ing every year have been so serious
that the government is making Wig
orous effort to find an antidote for the
poison, as we'll as to eradicate the
plant itself.
In the Gunnison National Forest.
Colorado, the losses to the stockmen
last season from larkspur were con-
servatively estimated to equal almost
five per cent of the total number of
cattle grazed upon that forest.
Its effect are almost immediate.
Death follows the eating of the plant
within a 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
Forest Service, have made careful and
painstaking Investigations in the field,
with a view of lessening the losses as
far as possible. while several different
plans have been tried in hopes Of COM
pletely destroying the plant.
Larkspur grows very luxuriantly in
the early spring. On the Gunnison
Forest in June, 1908. the Forest offic-
ers counted more than 1900 plants in
bloom upon single square rod. The
plant seems to be more poisonous 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 leaving
the roots in the ground, it Is not 50
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 other
areas where it is not so plentiful the
plants will be dug out by the Forest
rangers. and also moved off to pre-
vent seeding again.
1t has also been found that the plant
will not hold its own against certain
| kinds of grasses, such as timothy. A
few acres, sowed in timothy. are be-
ing carefully watched and 1t Is be-
lieved that it is crowding the larkspur
out. 1t seems probable that by sowing
timothy. on the mountain meadows the
larkspur could be gradually smother
ed and replaced by valuable forage
plant.
II this plan Is supported by good ev-
idence this season, timothy will be
extensively sowed later on. Meanwhile
upon this, as we'll as several other Ma
tional Forests where the losses from
this plant are very serious. the build
ing of fences to keep the cattle off the
most dangerous areas Is being pushed
by the Forest Service. and will be con-
tinued as fast as funds are available
for the purpose.
Mr.. J. c. Thomas of Crawford, Colo
RADIO, made an experiment In feeding
the larkspur some years ago to de-
termine, II possible. Just what part Of
the plant contained the poisonous
properties. A yearling steer was fed
large quantity Of the leaves. with NO
injurious results. A few days later,
the Same animal was fed quantity
Of the roots and within ten hours II
was dead. thus jusdfying the sus-
picion that the poisonous matter was
contained In the root
