justice.

The attorney for the defense Jump

conversation could not be admitted in

followed and the judges retired to
their private room to consider the
point.
An hour later the judges filed into

Farm Courses For Boys.

Columbia, Mo. Oct. 25. Professor
F. b. Mumford, dean of the College
OF Agriculture of the University of
Missouri, is trying to get the work of
the college in reach of the boys on
the farm. Many of these boys are
unable to meet the entrance require
ments of the university; others have
not money enough to take a regular
course. A short winter course in ag-
riculture is designed to meet their
needs.
Dean Mumford has arranged two
such courses for this winter. The
first will begin November and con-
tinue until Christmas. The second
will open January a and close Feb
ruary Is.
"More than 1000 Missouri young
men have attended the short winter
course in agriculture, and each of
these young men has become a better
farmer by reason of instruction OBJ
tained," says bulletin of the college
just issued.
An incidental fee of S. is all that is
charged, and a certificate will be
granted to every student who COM
pletes the work of two years in the
short course.

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings
That No Butler Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. comes
from the kidney secretionS. They
will warn you when the kidneys are
sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear,
amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out
a thin, pale and foamy, or thick,
red, illSmelling urine, full of sedi-
ment and irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap-
proach of dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease. Doan'S Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per-
manently. Here's Butler proof:
j. c, Reavis, High St, Butler, Mo-,

The Span of Human Life is Grow
ing Longer.

New York, Oct.-The normal span
of human life is $50 years, according
to a remarkable study by Prof. Irv-
ing Fisher, of Yale, which has just
been published by the National Con-
servation Commission at Washington.
Professor Fisher shows that the
length of mans existence is steadily
growing, both in this country and
Europe with the progress of science,
sanitation and social betterment and
declares that the span of $50 years
will not long be impossible of attain
ment.
The investigations by Metchnikoff
are quoted by Professor Fisher to
show that the average normal span
should be $50 years. Mammals gen.
orally, he points out, live about five
times their growing period. Mans
period of growing is thirty years and,
according to that, he should live $50
years. The present average duration
OF life is thirty-eight years. Two
cases of persons who lived to great
ages are Drakenberg, a Norwegian,
who died at the age of 146 years, and
Mrs. Mary L. Wood, of Portland,
Ore, both of which are completely
authenticated.
