expectations" from some mining prop
erty he owns In the Rosita district in
Custer county. The property in ques-
ton has been owned by Rev. Blake
for several years. but. not until lately
has its real value been even guessed
at Development work during the last
few weeks has revealed a rich vein Of
tungsten that promises to attract a
great deal of attention to that section
as a mining district The indications
are that Rev. Blake has made an i'm
portant mineral strike and that the
property will be a money maker. A
company will be incorporated by Rev.
Blake under the laws of Nevada and
the property will be systematically ex-
plotted with n view of finding out just
how rich 1t is. II has long been known
that the entire hillside. where the
property is located. was mineraliZed.

she liberator of the colored race.
o Scotland. it was a gracious act in
thee
To build a monument beside the sea
To Lincoln. to him who wrote the
word.
And Slavery's shackles fell
From off a race.
Which ne'er before could tell
What freedom was.
To Lincoln whose soul was great
enough to know
That beings born in likeness of their
God
Were meant to live as freeman.
Not as slaves, and ruled, by slavery's
rod.
To Lincoln. who more than any Of
his race
Uplifted men and women to the place
God made them for.
o, Scotland, it was a gracious act in
thee
To build a monument beside the sea
To Lincoln. who never saw your land
And in whose viens no Scottish blood
had run
But yet. because of deeds which he
had done.
His mighty name
Had filled the world with fame
And taught the people of each land
That in Gods hand
Is held the destiny OF races and of
man.

BROWN TAIL MOTH RRACnRS
KANSAS AND MIseOURl

| I .
Kansas City. Feb. 16.-Unless ris31
precautions are taken the brown-tail
moth will have to be reckoned with IN
Kansas. Many New Engianders now
living in the west are familiar with
the havoc played by the caterpillers Of
this insect among forest, shade and
fruit trees in the eastern states. These
caterpillars appear in large numbers
and strip the trees OF their leaves.
The trees cannot live without foliage
throughout the summer and so they
die at once.
The brown-tail moth came from Eu-
rope into New England about Is years
ago and has spread rapidly until It
now covers a large area and threat
ems to extend still farther. In the in
Tested district thousands of fruit and
shade trees have been killed by this
pest and in the woods one can easily
find blocks of from 1 to so acres in
which almost every tree is dead.
The chief OF the bureau of horti-
culture of the state Of New York re-
ScAtiJ ouvibCu INC NoAD0S oulAOEitAco
that about rs nests of the brown tail
moth had been found on apple, pear
and cherry seedlings and ounce stock
Just received from France. The nestB
found contained living caterpillars in
the usual winter form. The infested
stock 80 far examined was packed in
or near about Anglers, France, Hun
dreds Of boxes are now arriving in
the United States.
The Kansas authorities at once sent
out letters OF inquiry to all importers
Of trees, fruits. plants and vines with
in the state asking that their ship
ments be not opened until examined.
Two consignments have already arriv-
ed at their destination in Kansas.
These have been carefully examined
and the first revealed the presence Of
two nests Of the brown-tail moth con-
tanning in all about 400 caterpillars:
the second three nests containing
about 500 caterpillars. That il, in
these two shipments there were near
ly a thousand caterpillars, living and
active. ready to establish themselves
in the state with the first days Of
spring.
1t Is needless to say that the pests
we're promptly destroyed.

1. All importers (nurserymen) were
notified and directed to hold boxes
unopened until one OF our inspectors
could be present.
2. Every effort was put forth to
ascertain the origin. movement and

Important Decision.

The supreme court last week decid- ed the case of Louis Fritz against the state. Fritz was convicted on the charge ot shipping fish out of the state, and of erecting nets to catch tSh in Crittenden county.
 The first indictment was based on the law which makes il misdemeanor to ship any kind of game fish or game 0f any kind from the state to other states, and provides penalty of from sl00 to S500. Fritz had shipped some fish to Memphis, but relied on the fact that he caught them from an in- land lake and from that part of the lake bordering on the property to which he had fee simple title as de fense. However, he was fined sl00 for the oftense and appealed to the su- preme court.
 The court today held that the law against shipping game from the state IS valid, under former opinions of the court, and that the evidence justified the verdict against Fritz.
 On the other count, that of netting fish, Fritz had been fined for erecting net in the waters of Horseshoe lake, between sections of land owned by him and bordering the fake. He con- tended that this gave him the right to net fish as the lake, or that portie n of it, should be regarded as under his control. However, the supreme court decided that since other persons had property bordering on the lake il could not be conceded that Fritz haC control over the waters of any portion of the lake, hence in netting fish Int 1 had violated the law.

 W. J. Stolzer, living on Division street, Forrest City, Arkansas, says; "Doan,s Kidney Pills cured me of kidney trouble, and I am more than pleased to add my testimonial to those already given in favor of this remedy. Prior to using Doan's Kid ney Pills 1 suffered from dull pain in the lower part of my back and was also subject to dizzy spells. A too frequent action of the kidney secre- tions greatly added to my annoyance. l procured Doan's Kidney Pills at the City Drug Store, and soon after taking them the backache left me, the dizzy spells soon disappeared, and the secretions became normal. I now feel like a new man and attribute the great change in my condition entirely to the curative powers of Doan's Kid- ney Pills. sincerely trust they will lind their way into every home where kidney trouble exists"
