for the colonel, commencing at 2 a

at noon, where he found Cooper.
He told of a conference there at
which, besides himself, were present
the colonel, Attorney James Bradford
and Robin Cooper. He described the
conlonel's anger and ris declarations,
and told how they soothed the old
soldier and made him promise to let
friends arrange a peaceable settle
ment.
Every detail was revealed, down to
the elimination of the affair in the
shooting. After he had told his story
to the court, the Judge listened to
arguments and decided that the gov
elnor could not repeat the converse,
ton at the conference he attended
but might say what the result was
and describe the coloneps manner

the governor later for grilling. This

TENDER was entirely surprise to the
public.
Booth A search of the assets was in
stituted before master in chancery
Harvey Booth in behalf of the credit
ors of the banks to which the com.
pany is alleged to owe large sums.
The liabilities are estimated at over
$6,000,000, but the assets, at first
supposed to be sufficient, dwindled
steadily as the investigation proceed
ed, and have unofacially been estl-
mated as low as 100000. This in
vestigation has not been concluded.
Testimony, however, was adduced
from F. r. Robbins, who was inJ;c:-
ed with Mr.. Booth today. The wit
presented to the banks to bolster up
ness told a story of false statements
the tottering credit of the firm. The
statements, by reducing the figures
showing liabilitie, and in the assets,
Mr.. Robbins said, were $4,000, 900
away from the true condition of af-
fairs. The statement Of July 10, al
legged to have been presented to the
Continental National bank forms the
basis of today's indictment.
Mr.. Robbins said that when Mr..
Booth learned that the statement had
been made to the banks, and that it
was false, he insised that the banks
be promptly informed of actual con-
ditions. This was done at a secret
meeting in the Continental National
bank, the witness said. The whole
fabric of the alleged deception was
laid bare, and the future Of the great
fishing business thrown on the mercy
of the bankers.
For month the secret was kept
from the public. Then came the
crash. Bonds were fixed at $500 in
each case. Capiases were issued for
mally but were not served. The in
dicted men have informed the states
attorney that they will appear in
court Monday.

The age OF the earth Is placed by

knowing what processes have been
gone through.
Other planets go through the same
process. The reason that other planets
differ so much from the earth is that
they are In 80 much earlier or later
stages Of existence. The earth must
become old.
Newton surmised, although he could
give no reason for it, that the earth
would lose all its water and become
perfectly dry. Since then it has been
found that Newton was correct.
As the earth keeps cooling It will be-
come porous, and great cavities will
be formed In the interior, which will
take in the water. It is estimated
that this process is now in progress,
80 far that the water diminishes at the
rate Of the thickness Of q sheet Of
paper each year.
At this rate in 100000 years the
water will have sunk mile, and In
IL, 100000 the water will have disap-
peared from the face Of the globe.
The nitrogen and oxygen in the at
mosphere are also Diminishing all the
time. It is in an inappreciable degree,
but the time will come when the air
will be 80 thin that no creature we
know could breathe it and live. The
time will come when the world cannot
support life. That will be the period
If old age, and then will come death

"cREASING" A WILD HORSE.
For One Captured by That Method
Fifty Were Killed.

For One Captured by That Method
Fifty Were Killed.
Will G. Barnes, writing in McClure's
Of the various methods OF capturing
wild horses in the old days on the
plains, says:
"'Creasing' was one of their devices.
This consisted in shooting a bullet 80
that 1t struck the animal on the top
of the neck Just In front Of the with
ers and about an inch or so deep close
to the spinal column. The shock tenn
porarily stunned the horse, and the
hunter ran up and tied the animals
feet together before he recovered. A
rope halter was slipped on his head.
A gentle horse or sometimes a work
OK was led up alongside the PROSTATE
beast, and he was securely necked up
to the gentle animal and thus could be
handled easily. Old mustangers say,
however, that for one horse caught
this way fifty were killed and that as
matter of fact the method was not
used very much except in an emer-
gency, when a hunter, after days of
attempts to capture, finally took the
risk Of successfully creasing an un-
usually fine animal rather than see
him escape altogether. - =

Just high enough above the spine not

VITALITY IN CITIES.
It Is at a Low Ebb and Steadily
Diminishing.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
The great city of today exhibits con-
stantly diminishing vitality. Nor Is this
caused by diminished frequency of mar
rage. In London there has been a fall
in the marriage rate during the same pc
Rod. but 1t has not been progressive or
nearly so large as the fall in the birth
rate. and in Paris and Berlin the dimin-
fishing births have been accompanied by a
distinct and considerable, though fiuctuat-
ing, rise in the marriage rate The curves
for London and Berlin show a steady fall
in the number of births per one hundred
married women during the last thirty
years. similar curve is not given for
Paris. because statistics are not available:
but in France. whole, the mean de-
cennial birth rate per thousand married
women aged fifteen to forty-nine has
fallen from one hundred and seventy-four
to one hundred and forty during the same
period; and it is certain that in Paris the
movement has been greater than in the
whole country.
All three, then, show a steady increas-
ing sterility. 1t is not confined to the
great cities or even to towns, but II Is
most marked and most general in urban
life, of which the great city is the exeIn-
plar and epitome. All the paraphernalia
of modern corporate life. all the services,
conveniences and institutions here set
forth issue in this. The three capitals.
however, present noticeable differences In
detail. from which something can be
learned. In Paris vitality has sunk to a
much lower ebb than In the other two: it
just f1ickers, and only succeeds in doing
that through the enormous number of i'm
migrants-71 per cent of the active popu.
lation-from other parts OF the country.
including the more fertile stocks. But for
that the deaths would largely outnunber
the births and the population be rapidly

LIME SALTS AND TUBERCULOSIS
A New Dietary Treatment Promises
Success.
From the Medical Record.


John F. Russell Of New York reports
the results of his treatment of dispensary
patients on the theory that the cause
of tuberculosis is insufficient lime salts
in the food. To supply this need he made
use of clotted milk and eggs. and later

while the pancreatic ferment Is working
normally. The use Of clotted milk brought
about a plastic pleural effusion about the
location Of the tuberculosis, w.nch ended
in q cure OF the lesion. The patients
were taught to expect this and to hail
the pleuritic pain as sign of coming
cure The hydrochloric acid and milk
was prepared at the dispensary. Where
a portion was drunk, and the remainder
was taken at home morning and night.
The patients were encouraged to continue
their work, and rest treatment was not
given. An attempt to give more lime
salts by the use of ground bone had no
results. Lime starvation may be due to
absence Of gastric juice, or to taking
food poor in lime. The hydrochloric acid
actiyates the rennet zymogen and the
pepsin zymogen, and stimulates secretion
of pancreatic juice. The administration
of the acid causes decided improvement
