MILITARY PRISON BURNS.
Prisoners We're All Rescued Without
Single Escape.

Leavenworth, Hans, March 31.-The
military prison at Fort Leavenworth was
destroyed by fire late tonight. The
prisoners were removed from the cell
house under a heavy guard of United
States troops and confined'in a stockade.
None of the prisoners decamped, SO
far as a hasty resume of the situation
aftermidnight showed, but this may not
be definitely known until daylight.
Owing to the low water pressure, the
fire department was almost useless. The
fire was fought by the soldiers of the
fort, who were ordered out of their
quarters, and those who were on leave
in the city were at once called back to
the fort.
Much excitement attended the removal
of the prisoners, many of whom were
desperate characters. 1t was feared they
would make an organized break for
safety.
The fire broke out at 10 o'clock in rhe
tailor shop and soon it was seen that
the building was doomed. A great cry
at once broke out in the prison, the con-
victs fearing they would be burned to
death. They battered on the doors of
their cells as the light of the fire
streamed in through the windows. Many
screamed in terror as the authorities for
the moment refused to remove them.

Give Alfalfa a Chance.

The critical time for alfalfa is ap
preaching. Feed has been high in
price and it has been good business
to make the alfalfa fields pasture as
much stock is possible during the
winter months. These same fields
must continue providing feed until
grass is ready for pasture. But al
falfa is seriously harmed by heavy
pasturing in March when the plants
are putting Out new growth and strug.
Cling to establish themselves for their
summer job. Then is when they need
help.
With the exceedingly wet season OF
1908, and the tramping of stock all
through the winter, the soil in the al.
falfa field is likely to be pretty hard.
The air has been tramped and soaked
out of it and the soil is in M condi.
ton to encourage growth. 1t needs
a disking to help it out. That disking
should be given before the middle OF
March and the stock should be kept
off for a little while at least. But the
important thing is TO disk the alfalfa,
to loosen up the soil and let air into
it, to put it in shape to take in and
hold moisture for the heavy crops
that the plants will struggle to pro-
duce.
The spike-toothed disk harrow, call.
ed the alfalfa renovator, is the best
tool for this purpose. 1t digs the
soil up and does no damage to the
plants, even on quite sandy soils. But
a good job may be done with an or
binary disk harrow if attention is
given to adjusting and running it. A
double disking and a narrowing with
a smoothing harrow will put the soil
in fine shape and greatly stimulate
alfalfa's growth.

JOKER COSTS s45, o0o,O 900.
Size of Tobacco Packages Were Not
Restored After War.

Washington, d. C.-What is designat-
ed as a joker that has cost the consum-
ers of tobacco in this country nearly
S45, OOO, 900 has been discovered in the
existing revenue laws of the United
States by Representative Dawson of
Iowa who at once introduced a bill to
correct the error.
Under the Dingley tariff law, the two
ounce packages of tobacco sell to the
consumer at S cents and the f~our-ounce
packages for 10 cents. In 1898, a war
revenue tax of 6 cents a pound addl-
tional was levied on tobacco. At the
same time, in order to serve the con-
v~enience of the trade, authorization was
given for the reduction Of the sizes of
packages from two, three and four
ounces to 1 2-3, 2h and 31-3 ounces,
thus enabling the smoker to procure a
scent and a 1O-cent package of tobacco
"at the store"
In due time the war revenue tax was
repealed. Somebody forgot, Mr.. Daw-
SON believes, to restore the packages Of
tobacco to the original sizes, and hence,
ever since 1902, the consumer of tobacco
has been paying the equivalent of the
war revenue tax to the manufacturers Of
tobacco.

DO NOT FAVOR PROHI BITlON
Committee Will Not Recommend
Constitutional Amendment.

Jefferson City, Mo.-The house COM
mittee Republican, will report the pro-
hibition amendment to the constitution
without recommendation, in accordance
with the Republican caucus agreement
last night, and its engrossment will be
made a special order of business next
Thursday to carry it past the st. Louis
and other municipal elections next Tues
day, unless Democrats and Republican
prohibitionists thwart Republican plans.
A Democratic minority report recon-
melding the adoption of the amendment
is probable. The senate committee Dem
o~cratic) will, it is understood, not re-
port on the amendment until after
Tuesdays elections. Frohibitionists are
hopeful that the legislature will sub
NIT prohibition, but fear the liquor in
terests threat to tack on a rider for in
creasing taxes as a result of revenue
losses due to increase of dry territory.

A Woman's Poultry School.

Alternate males in the breeding
pens, using one bird three or four
days, then removing him and use
another for the same length of time.
This practice insures better fertility.
Feeding heavily on whole corn has
a tendency to induce hens to become
broody.
Feed only twice a day. Scatter
corn, oats or wheat in the litter in
the morning and give soft food in
the evening about an hour before
~roosting time. Do not leave any
mash in the trough.
Hens will not eat too much beef
scraps if it is left before them all the
time.
Trap nests will prevent egg eating
by the hens. This habit is caused by
a desire for grit in some form or
other.
TO introduce new blood secure sew
eral good hens and mate them to your
best male bird, provided he is a good
M If your flock is not up to the
standard get the best male bird you
can and breed up to him.
DO not feed red pepper. 1t is likely
to produce irritation.

ROOSEVELT FELL IN THE SEA
Great Wave Swept Him From Small
.Boat-Accident Of the Azores.

III tA0 ADoAOSs
Gibraltar.-Theodore Roosevelt was
in serious danger Tuesday afternoon of
Ponta del Gado, in the Azores. A great
wave swept him into the sea from q small
boat in which he was returning from q
visit to that city. He might have lost
his life had not two brawny sailors
caught him when another wave pitched
him toward the side OF the Hamburg.
Mr.. Roosevelt's patriotism placed him
in danger. He had been visiting the
American consul at Ponta del Gado, and
as the small boat neared the side of the
liner on the return trip the band struck
up 'The Star Spangled Banner"
The former president rose and barred
his head in respect for the anthem. Two
sailors held him, for the sea was rum
ming high and choppy. As the national
hymn ended the boat was pitching be-
side the Hamburg, and Mr.. Roosevelt
made a flying leap for the rope ladder
that dangled from the side of the vessel.
just then the big wave tossed the boat,
threw him from his balance and he went
into the sea. Two seamen who were
hanging to that grabbed his arms and
held him until he got a grip on the lad
der and clambered up.

TENANT KILLS LAND OWNER
Quarreled Over the Rent-Dead Man
Forced Fight by Firing First.

Germantown, Tenn.-As a result of a
quarrel over the renting of some land,
Charles Nuckolls, So years old, was shot
and almost instantly killed by S. +.
Kirk, rs years old, Wednesday morning
on the public road four miles west of
Macon, Fayette county, twelve miles
from here. Kirk narrowly escaped
death at the hands of Nuckolls, who way
laid him and fired twice at him with a
shotgun, loaded with buck shot.
According to the first reports received
here, Kirk hurried to Someville, the
county seat of Fayette county, after the
shooting and surrendered. This report
was denied by Sheriff M. L. Farris, ana
it was later learned that Kirk had sur
rendered to a magistrate near the scene
of the shooting.
Both men are ~well-known farmers in
Fayette county, and the attempt Of
Nuckolls to ambush Kirk, meeting his
own death in carrying out his plans,
has caused considerable excitement, but
no further trouble is anticipated.

Refusing Natures Gifts.

How men do struggle to avoid &C
cepting Natures gifts! Through &C
cident nearly a hundred years ago,
the packing of an importation OF crock
cry was scattered about In one OF
the Southern states. 1t grew! II
spread! Fastening itself firmly Upon
the shifting sands and slippery clay.
it held them firmly and healed the
scars. 1t reached out toward the cot
ton patch and found work there. The
impoverished soil needed humus and
the creeping grass endeavored to sup
ply 1t. The gullies were growing
deeper and the grass sought to hide
their ugliness and to round them over.
1t saw hungry live stock and sought
to feed them. The patient, hungry
cotton mule tasted it and found a de
lightful ~confection. The razor-back
hog sought out the spots Of grass and
deserted the mast"
But man noticed it! He saw that
it grew persistently and spread rap
idly. He observed that wherever it
approached a cotton stalk the plant
was weak and puny. So-away with
it! It's a pest! 1t harms the cot.
ton!
And so for nearly a century, men
have fought the thing which led to-
ward the easy way-toward fertile
farms and grass-grown hillsides-to
ward prosperity and peace; and chose
the hard way-yoked with a mortgage,
a mule, a middle-buster, a cotton hoe,
and a cotton sack.
It is so in Oklahoma. Instead OF
letting this gift of Nature to the
Southern people help them on to
plenty, men fear and fight and falter,
They desert the blackjacks with their
timbered wales, where every condition
favors the making of real homes, and
start wandering. They abandon fer
tile bottom lands to cottonwoods
weeds and shifting sands.

SISTERS TRICK
But It All Came Out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee fiend is
an interesting tale:
Il was a coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. / Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not-tell me
what it was. ! noticed the richness of
it and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
I was drinking Postum for fear l might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
l grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening ~life-saver she had given
me In place of my morning coffee.
From that time I became a disciple of
Postum and no words can do justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. / will not try to tell it, for
only after having used it can one be
convinced of its merits"
Ten days trial shows Postum's pow
err to rebuild what coffee has de-
stroyed. There's a Reason"
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, The Road to MELVILLE"
Ever read the above letters A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
tnterest.

suLLY TALKS COTTON PLAN
Would Save South Annually $780,
600, 900 in Cash.

Atlanta, Ga.-"When the farmers OF
the South and the business men of the
South say the word, funds will be inn
mediately available in sufficient volume
to forever place the great industry OF
cotton production upon a stable founda-
ton, free from the chance fluctuations
of the market relieved of the attacks OF
manipulators and leaving the gigantic
crop monopoly of this section to respond,
unembarrassed and unrestricted, to the
legitimate laws of supply and demand
The result should mean to the South an
annual actual cash saving ranging from
$3.50, 100000 to $250,Ooo,ooo."
In these plain terms Daniel J.. Sully,
the man who drove cotton to its highest
market price since the civil war, today
outlined the purpose of his visit to the
Southern States.

FARMER AND
PLANTER

Poultry as a Special Industry.

Poultry as a Special Industry.
It is to be said in the favor of the
poultry industry that while panics and
financial depression have occurred
several times in the history of this
country the markets have always ac-
copied the supply of poultry and eggs
offered, and at better prices than
those derived from many articles In
other lines. The great drawback with
poultry and egg production is that the
farmers do not produce enough, for
although millions of dozens Of eggs
come east from the west. yet eggs
seem to find new customers every
year, something required in the arts,
increasing the demand, and 1t is the
fact not generally known that the
eggs used for the purpose of supply
ing albumen is enormous, the manu-
facturers competing with the consum-
ers who use them for food. 1t has
frequently been made manifest that
when the production of an article is
in excess of the demand for n or
Two years, Tic INV pliCCo oCisC q
ducements to stimulate investments
in some direction in which eggs per-
form a prominent part (perhaps
some invention), and the demand soon
keeps pace with the supply. At pres
ent this country imports eggs, which
is a sure indication that farmers are
not taking advantage of the markets.
1t seems almost impossible to prevail
upon farmers to make a business OF
poultry instead of keeping but a few
hens which are not recognized as hav-
ing prominence on the farm. With
the improvements now gradually be-
coming accomplished by the use OF
pure breeds, and the fact that con-
sumers are learning that quality may
be from choice stocks, prices will adj
vance and farmers be forced to resort
to poultry as the source of profit be-
cause they cannot ignore the advant-
ages of fowls over larger stock. There
is a fair profit even when prices are
low, and the fact that eggs have
brought higher prices at some seasons
makes it difficult for farmers to look
upon lower prices in summer very ia
vorably; yet eggs in summer really
cost the farmer nothing at all.-Poul-

IT WAS NOT HER BACK.
Woman Had No Idea Of Being Proxy
for Medical Treatment.

A missionary, d~iscoursing upon
India. told Of a woman who had come
to her complaining OF a very sore
back and desired that she pray for its
cure. This Mrs. Jackson did, but the
woman again appeared before her and
declared that the back was still in a
bad condition. Mrs. Jackson advised
the use of an application of iodine,
and brought out a bottle of the drug
to apply upon the afflicted part of the
woman's anatomy. But she regarded
the bottle ~suspiciously and acted as
though it would hurt her were h 70
use it. To allay her fears upon this
score Mrs. Jackson applied some OF
the drug to her own finger and showed
her that it would not burn, and that
she had better allow her to put some
of it upon her back.
But" said the woman, ut would
do no good"
How SOP" inquired Mrs. Jackson,
alphabetically.
Because" replied the woman, 1t Is
my old mans back that is sore"
