Rayner's Language Lesson.
from the Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
Senator Rayner sprung some Ian
guage lessons on the Senate while dis
cussing the pineapple schedule. He
was contending that the word revision
simply meant ''seeing again, and that
it might mean upward or downward,
and when the Republican party prom
ised nothing, Though the people did not
understand this.
"'Revise' means to see again." said
Senator Rayner. sit comes from the
Latin word sre, again, and 'videre, to
see. Translated into French, it is 'au
revoir,' in German it is 'wiedersehn'
and translated into every dead and liv-
ing language it has but one definition
and means but one thing, and the ex-
pert who framed the Republican plat
form, being lawyer of great distinc-
ton, now occupying high place in the
Federal service, knew exactly what he
was doing when he put the word re
vision into the body of the instrument.
He meant 'au revoir, we will see you
again, we will look you over, we will
vreiew you."

sick kidneys and warn you of the

orders. Here's proof Of it in Staun-

and if made quick movement, sharp
pains darted through my loins. My
head ached intensely and 1 was also
subject to dizzy spells. L saw Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended for
troubles such as mine and l procured
a box at Thomas Hogshead's drug

back was strong and the other symp-
toms of kidney complaint were re-
moved. Doan's Kidney Pills have my

Mr.. Adair Gives Information of Lost
Saber.

Last Tuesdays Baltimore American
contained the following information
from Mr.. j. Med. Adair with reference
to a lsaber mentioned in the report of
Hunter's raid through Lexington and
published in last weeks Gazette:
hfpugh The American Mr.. James
F.Hays, of Waverly, Md, has located
sabef which he lost in the civil war
4o years age. In the Sunday American
of June 13 appeared an article by Mr..
Hays entitled "With Hunter at Lynch
bufg.p In the course it he described
a skirmish at Lexington, Va, in which
his horse was crippled so badly he had
to leave him. TofpreNent the enemy
from getting his bride and saadle he
cut them to pieces, while his saber he
hid in hollow tree, where, he added,
sit may be today"
Mr.. Hays has just received letter
from Mr.. J. Med. Adair of Lexington,
Va, who had read the account in The
American, telling him the sword had
been found and where it is now. Mr..
Hays was most agreeably surprised
and will take steps to recover his old
weapon. The letter of Mr.. Adair to
Mr.. Hays follows:
Dear Sir:-Have just read your letter
giving account of your march with
General Hunter through the Valley.
The sword you refer to here was found
by Mr.. Tomlin some time ago, and
can, expect, be had now. l know a
gentleman who saw the sword and
knew all about how Mr.. Tomlin found
it in the tree. 1t has always been
thought here that the sword belonged
to Colonel Tauk, who was killed in
the small engagement here, l was talk
ing to lady recently who lived just
where he was killed, gave them some
water for him, and saw him taken up
on the brow of the hill and buried un-
der the tree in which the sword was
found. His body was afterwards re-
moved.
l am not certain that have the Col
onel's name right. 1t was something
like l haveit. 1t may have been Turk.
Very truly yours,

SHORT HEALTH TALKS.
FIGHTING THE MOSQUITO.
(No. 81

The fly and the mosquito have con-
fiicting claims as to the most obnox-
ious pest of the summer. While the
former may claim to be a greater mem
ace to health in that he carries the
germs of more disease, the latter has
his special claims. The mosquito is
very difficult to get out of the house
when once he enters; he can cause a
maximum of annoyance and incon-
venience during the night hours; and
he is the agent for spreading malaria
which annually afficts thousands in
the State.
There are some hundreds of forms of
mosquitoes. Some of them are per-
fectly harmless so far as carrying dis
ease is concerned. Other forms, not
less unsuspicious looking, can spread
malaria broadcast. The layman can
ccarcely detect the anopheles, or ma
laria mosquito, from the culex, or
harmless mosquito.
The only sure method of Kidding any
home of mosquitoes is to prevent their
breeding. Inasmuch as they seldom
fly more than few hundred feet from
their breeding place, they can readily
be killed off by destroying all breed
ing places. Mosquitoes never hatch
except in standing water, hence if all
standing water is drained off they will
be killed.
1t sometimes happens that the
breeding places of mosquitoes cannot
be altogether removed. In such a
case, the pest-ridden man has another
resource, not less efficacious. If he
will take watering pot, fill it with
kerocene oil, and pour the contents
lightly over the standing water, he
can prevent the breathing of young
mosquitoes and thereby can kill them
off. A quart of kerosene, lightly
sprayed, will effectually cover the sur
face of small pond.
1t must be remembered that running
water is not a breeding place for mos
quitoes and that they cannot hatch
until they have been in water for at
least ten days. But is equally true
that they can breed and hatch by
thousands in very small amount of
weter. They may hatch, it is true, in
a stagnant pond, but they can hatch
just as we'll and almost as numerously
in rain barrel or fiower-pot. A tin
can left near the house and filled by
the rain may be the lurking place of
the breeders.
The only safe course is to examine
thoroughly the surroundings of your
house and destroy or oil every pool of
standing water, great and small

Protecting the Farmer.

In the course of the debate few days
ago Senator Gore said: 'tNobody who
believes in duty on corn ought to be
allowed to run at large outside of the
Senate" This witticism suggests an
inquiry into the agricultural schedule
of the tariff bill, and we find that the
farmers have not been forgotten.
Whether the remembrance will recon-
cile the tillers of the soil to some other
things in the bill remains to be seen.
Corn has been given duty of Is cents
per bushel. Our corn imports in 1907
were less than 10000 bushels; the do
mestic product exceeded $500, O,OO0
bushels. 1t will be observed that corn
in this country is not an ''infant indus
try" If the 15-cent duty fails to dispel
the horrible shadow that hangs over
American corn raisers in the form of
'sforeign competition" it will at lsast
serve to assist the spellbinder in con-
vincing our bucolic brother that the
tariff makers were not unmlndful of
his interests.
The Senate bill increases the duty on
oats from Is cents to 20 cents bushel.
Here again the domestic farmer will
breathe a satisfying sign, for the $1,000
bushels of imports in 1907 must have
been an awful menace against the 754,-
E,re.b .bal 4 of hn p,rnIr.eo1 'Hl,n
wheat duty was advanced from 25 10
30 cents per bushel, an increase of 20
per cent. This will put check TO the
threatened destruction Of the business
of wheat raising in this country, for in
1907 the foreign wheat raiser sent us
the enormous amount of 49, coo bushels
and we produced only 634, 900, 600 BUSH
els.
But the committee fairly Overfiowed
with generosity in the matter OF rye,
on which the duty is increased 100 per
cent. The imports of rye in 1907 were
157 bushels; we produced 31,566, 600
bushels. The value of buckwheat flour
imported in 1907 was $6S3; of buckwheat
itself the domestic production amount
ed to more than 14,000,0O0 bushels.
Consequently the duty on buckwheat
flour was increased from 20 cents to %
cents. What boots it that the sugar
which the cheerful housewife converts
into sirup for the glad breakfast table
sustains tax of nearly two cents per
pound? Is not the buckwheat cake
protected also against foreign invasion?

Carr CASE IS ON
The Second Trial Is Under Way
at Marion.
Prosecution Thinks It Has a
Better Case.
HAVE NEW EVIDENCE.
Man on Stand Who Had Received
Proposition From Carr.
Wanted to Rob Express Office
at La Junta.
HAVE NEW EVIDENCE.

Marion, Kan, Feb. 5.-A jury was Sc
cured in the Carr murder trial and
rapid progress is being made in the
case. The state is taking different
plan from the former trial and it ia
believed that the case is much strong
er than before.
The opening evidence shows Carr IN
Kansas City for the starting point;
then shows his trip down over the line
in Bailey's train and in his car. Mrs
Bailey, widow of the murdered mes
senger. was on the stand and identlneo
the articles placed by her in the va
that still bears bloodstains. Mr.. Stoval'
who found the Ratchet west OF Fior-
ence was also on the stand and ldenti-
fed the article in question.
The most startling piece of new ev1-
dence was that of Robert Goodrich, VINO
at one time was brakeman running
out of La Junta. His testimony was
that Carr had made a proposition to
him that they rob the express office
at La Junta, while the agent was busy
with the train at the platform. Good
rich was out of work and out or money
as well as Carr but he discouraged the
proposition and would have nothing to
do with it.
This evidence, coupled with others of
a similar character to be introduced,
tend to show that Carr had the matter
of robbery on his mind for some time.
Sam Brown, the Wells-Fargo agent
at Newton, testified as to the handling
of express matter in and out Of New
ton.
Dr. Abbrie, coroner of Harvey county,
testified as to the inquest of Mr.. Duff,
the Newton undertaken. as to the pre-
paration of Bailey's body for shipment
The prosecution is being conducted
by County Attorney Sam BurkholdeS
and w. H. Carpenter. while the defense
is looked after by D. w Wheeler ana
Henderson Martin.
Judge R. L. King keeps things NOV
ing rapidly as the quick selection of a
