Praise For The Armour Gray:

When the Armour S25, 900 Prize
Team was in London, England, they
created a sensation and among the
things printed about these wonder
full horses was the following:
''The Armour grays made their
first public appearance in this coun-
try at the horse parade in Regents
Park, where, Of course, they were
the observed Of all observers.
Their driver, Billy Wales. as he
drove into the narrow ring saw the
opportunity for what he himself
called a parlor trick. To the as
constituent of Judges and spectators
he swung this six-ton team with the
3a-ton wagon behind them in COM
plete circle round the narrow en-
closure and did the extraordinary
feat almost entirely by word of
mouth. -
The great sells-Floto Shows have
secured this exceptional feature and
these wonderful animals are now be-
ing toured over the United States
with this big circus. They are the
genuine Armour grays and all Of
the valuable trophies. prizes, rib
bons, etc. will also be displayed
when the circus comes to GlendiYe,

Branch Yards Aid Live Stock

Federal prosecutions of railroads
to enforce the twenty eight-hour
law in shipments Of live stock is
bringing results. The construction
of a series Of small stock yards at
junction points in the suburbs OF
Chicago, where cattle and hogs may
be unloaded and fed and watered
before being shipped to eastern
cities, and even before b i n g
brought into the Chicago t Q 6 K
yards is under way. The first of
these feeding yards was built at In
diana Harbor and work was begun
last week by the Western Indiana
and Belt railways on yards at Sew
enty-ffth and Rockwell streets.
The federal law provides fine Of
$500 for allowing cattle to remain
in the cars for more than twenty
eight hours without being fed or
watered, but the time may be ex-
tended to thirty-six hours by agree
ment with the shipper. The cattle
from the Missouri River move on a
thirty-three-hour schedule and if
there is a delay, danger of violating
the law arises.
The new yard will be located mid
way between Heyford and Chand
Ter, where eastern connections are
made. It will be completed in about
two months and will contain from
ten to fifteen pens covering about
three acres. It is anticipated
that numerous other such yards will
be constructed within a year.

HEADS OF SUGAR TRUST
ARE INDICTED BY JURY

New York, July I. The American
Sugar Refining company, six of its di-
rectors and two other individuals were
indicted by a federal grand jury on
charge of conspiracy in restraint Of
trade.
The individuals indicted are Wash
ington B. Thomas, president Of the A
merican Sugar Refining company Ar
thur Dojer, Charles A. Shaft and John
E. Parsons Of New York John Mayer
of Morristown N. j., and George IT.
Frazier Of Philadelphia, all of whom
are directors Of the company. Indict-
ments were also found against Gustave
Kissel and Thomas B. Harnett, counsel
for Adolph Segal. There are fourteen
counts in the indictments. The indict-
ments charge the corporation, the A
merican Sugar company and the accus-
ed Of conspiracy in restraint Of trade
in violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law. The defendants will answer to the
indictments in court next Tuesday.
The events leading up to today S in
dictments may be traced back to 1896,
when Adolph Segal Of Philadelphia
sold to the American Sugar Refining
company refinery which he had built
and for time operated at Camden, N.
J. Some years later Segal took over
the old Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
company OF Philadelphia, which had
suspended business in 1889. By 1908
segal had new plant nearly complet-
ed and was ready to compete in sugar
refining
Meantime, however, he had engaged
extensively IN other real estate promo
tions and became pressed for funds,
Just at this time Gustave KisseI,
Wall street broker, turned up with an
offer TO obtain for segal loan Of
s., 125, 900, which was accepted.
Il aftervard developed that the loan
came from the treasury Of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company, but Sc
gal claims that at the time he did not
know this. To secure the loan for his
real estate operations segal entered
into q bond with Kissel by which The
borrower turned over, along with
other security, 5000 Of the 80. 900
shares Of the Pennsylvania Refining
company and agreed that the sugar
securities should be put in i voting
trust which gave Kissel Or whoever he
represented control of segal's com

Terrific Shocks Felt In Messina

Terrific Shocks Felt In Messina
Messina, July ]. -Messina experienc-
ed two terrific earthquakes at about
T 80 O'Clock this morning, which were
accompanied by roaring sounds and are
said to have had a stronger and more
undulatory movement than the one
last December which destroyed Mes
sina and other cities, laid waste
many villages in Calabria and killed
200, 900 persons.
Although the shocks today had no
such terrible consequences, the Is, 900
residents Of the city were thrown into
terror. They ran into the street panic
stricken, and tonight nearly the en-
tire population is encamped in the OPP
en- places, fearing to return to the
structures which have served them as
homes since the city was destroyed.
The broken walls Of the old ruins
were thrown to the ground, and
Messina was for a few minutes snoth-
cred in a cloud Of dust.
The casualties were few, and the
only persons killed, 50 far 40 is known,
were a Young woman and her infant.
The woman had come here only few
DAYS ago and had settled in room
which the great earthquake had left
relatively unchanged. She was stand
ing at the door when the shock occur
red and rushed inside to save her
child. Before she could escape from
the room, the second shock threw
down the walls, burying both mother
and child under the stairs.
Several persons were struck by de-
tached stones, but, SO far as is known,
no one was fatally injured.
The first shock was followed quickly
by second, and the people fled pell-
nell to the American quarter, which
they seemed to feel was their safest
place Of refuge.
So great was the rush to the Ameri-
can houses that the authorities were
unable to check the invasion.
The soldiers soon drew a Gordon
around this quarter and a guard stood
at the bridge leading to it. Many of
the panic stricken people were driven
off and orders were issued that no one
should be permitted to occupy the
American quarter, pending further in
structions.

However desirable it may be to have
a judicious pruning of our oaks, we
can hardly trust to beetles to do the
work as we wish it done. and during
the summer of 1908 Elaphidion GER
tainly exceeded the limit and caused
much anxiety to owners of oak trees in
various parts of the country. Further.
since 1t sometimes attacks the apple

for some attention.

USING CEMENT
TO SAVE TREES
Former Method wan Never Sue.
ccssfuI for Several Rcssons.

The former method of working In
falling trees with cement was never
successful for several reasons. One
was that the cement seldom II ever
adhered to the wood. so the swaying
by wind of the tree very generally
made larger the treated crack be-
tween ii and the wood
Water penetrated beyond the filling
so the decay increased rather more
rapidly than before attempting a
remedy.
The improved idea is in removing
from the interior all of the rotting
mass. There remains only a living
shell Of sapwood and bark and into
this cavity a steel brace is nicely in
serted and bolted In place.
The next important step is to cut
watershcds-preYenti any moisture
from entering. There are deep
grooves cut about one inch inside the
edge and opening out to the ground
below. Cement is packed tightly into
grooves. forming channel down
which the water flows.
The cavity Is aftcrward wired
throughout thoroughly.
The cement is worked moist, and
built out in the tree shape. Any bark
that is cut away for an inch or two
in order to prevent bruising as the
filling is in progress will soon cover
the filled spot so passerby can
scarcely detect the wound at all
In very large cavities the opening
is covered by utilizing large strips of
zinc.

work in trees. for the place soon heals

however. We are led to believe that
such may not always be the case.
Our attention was called by n cor.
respondent last August to the fact
that many fallen twigs examined con.
tained no worms. Later. in Septem-
Der. We noted this also. and were
not able to hnd a single larva In any
twigs examined. n large number being
cut open for examination.
This can hardly be accounted for
by the work of insectivorous birds.
since they would be unable to reach
them in their burrows. In any event
the larva is In its burrow when the
twig first falls and can then be east
ly cared for. We therefore suggest
the following remedy:

try were often of comparatively sim
pie workmanship. but they were cher
ished and handed down from father
to son and from friend to friend.
Strange to say. though cherished in
this manner. collectors have had a
very hard time in locating any great
nuns6er OF the powder horns used in
this country and this in spite of the
lars, numbers used in the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries.
In the French and Indian war the
English and Americans carried 10000
powder horns. 1t has been estimated.
to say nothing OF the number carried
by those on the French side. In the
revolution there were according to
the best estimates about 10000 pow
der horns in use in the American
army. without counting those on the
British side. The European troops
had long discarded them. OF course.
but their Colonial allies naturally
were equipped with them.
Two years ago Isaac J. Greenwood
presented to the New York Historical
society a collection OF water color pic
lures Of powder horns he had found
still in existence. Mr.. Greenwood Is
said to have spent many years in run
ming down these old horns and secur-
ing sketches OF the decorations on
them.
Some Of them were found in histor-
ical societies. many In private families
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1909-07-16

In which they had been handed down
by successive generations. Although
his search was prosecuted with great
| diligence the number of powder horns
actually located and sketched was not
| much over 400. showing how quickly
the horns have been disappearing
The New England states produced
n number of the old horns with their
quaint inscriptions and ornamental
tions. but New York and New Jersey
have been most prolific in them.
Perhaps the most remarkable ex-
amples OF the engraving are to be
seen on the geographical horns whose
pictures appear in the Greenwood col
lection. These geographical horns
took the place of pocket maps for the
early pioneers. They were the work
Of professional cngravers in places
like New York and Boston.
Some of the horns in the collection
contain practically complete maps of
th" old trails and waterways. One of
the best of these bears the date of
1867 and shows New York with its
harbor filled with ships and New York
state as far as Lake Champlain and
Ontario.
The horns belonging to the French
and Indian war period are generally
cruder than those OF the revolution,
most of them having been ornamented
by their owners. A great many OF
them were used in the battles about
Lake Champlain.
1t was often the fashion to have
on the powder horns scenes depict.
ing incidents in the lives OF the own.
crs. For instance. there appears on
one of the powder horns in the col.
lection the picture of an elephant.
from which 1t Is believed that its
owner had seen service In India.

According to the above writer and
