AN EXPLORER MURDERED
Captain Boyd Alexander Killed
in Wadai Region.

ender, the noted traveller, has been muir
dered by natives near Wadai, in the
French Congo. Only the fact reached
the Foreign Office to-day.
The name of Captain Boyd Alexander
was connected with several important sci
entifc expeditions. He was in command
OF the Fernando Pc exploration RSrty which
assembled Mount Isabel in 1904 and discov-
cred many new birds. That same year he
set out with the Alexander Gosling expe-
dition across Africa from the Niger to the
Nile. After Captain Goslng's death at Nj
angara, Captain Alexander continued
through the upper welie basin and climbed
the Kibali. where he discovered seams of
magnetic iron ore. From there he turned
north and crossed the Nile-Congo watershed
to the Yef The company suffered great
hardship, and on its return to civilization
in 1907 Captain Alexander was the only one
of three leaders to survive.
During the early part of last year he ex-
plored the various islands of the Gulf Of
Guinea. From there he proceeded. TO the
Cameroons. and ascended to the summit
OF the range and made study of its
group of craters. He had barely returned
to the mountains base when the great
earthquake Of April, 1909 occurred, and
the craters suddenly became active.
Another of his expeditions was that to
the Cape Verde Islands in 1897. He was
the author of several volumes of travel.
Gold medals had been awarded to him by
the Royal Geogra phical societies of Ant
werp and London. He was an honorary
fellow Of the Royal Scottish Geographical
Society.
Captain Alexander was born in 1873. He
was an officer Of the 7th Battalion, British
Rife Brigade, until his retirement, in 1907.

and Twisted All the Time.
CUTICURA AGAIN PROVED
THE GREAT SKIN CURE"

my baby boy was about nine
months old when he had a breaking out
on his neck which was very annoy
lng. 1t used to make him very fretful
and cross because it seemed to worry
him so much. In the meantime was
sick myself. / had my doctor look at
the baby and he told me it was eczema
and he wanted to treat it. But friend
Of mine told me she knew it could be
cured cheaper than any doctor could do
it for and in much less time. so l
started using the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment which / soon found
out was what I ought to have had be-
fore, for the eczema seemed TO itch so the
baby could not keep his head still for he
was rubbing and twisting all the time.
/ used the Cuticura Remedies about
three times the first day and began to
notice the good it was doing, for ne
began to get rest from rubbing his neck.
So / used three cakes of Cutlcura
Soap and two boxes Of Cuticura ONT
ment and now no one could tell that ne
ever had any kind of breaking out, and
since then have never been without the
Cuticura Soap nor the Cuticura Olnt-

INSIDE OF DEAL

cording to current political under
standing these terms are: Wilson S
brother, Harry, is to be continued
minister to Mexico. Wilson to be
consulted by President Taft on fed
eral patronage and executive policy
relating to Washington matters, no
matter who is elected senator. Will
son is to have the support of Taft,
the eastern party and Financial
leaders and the local Burke organ
ization in a campaign against Sen
ator w. l.. Jones in 1914.
Negotiations for Wilson's with
drawal have been in progress some
three weeks. Last month James d.
Hoge. local banker, was asked by
an eastern financier, very close to
the administration to sound polit-
ical sentiment in Washington on
the prospect of the election of a
standpatter. He reported that with
bob Burke and Wilson in the field
there was no hope, and that with
Burke in it alone there was but a
fighting chance.
After this correspondence he
took up the task of eliminating one
of the standpat candidates and Viii
sons withdrawal followed This is
the third time Wilson has negotiat-
ed himself out of senatorial con-
test in Washington. Each time he
bac hold az his mart pf tho loot tho
power to name federal appointee.s.
and upon the exercise of this power
he has maintained his political Or
ganization.
Burke comes out of the organiza-
ton with a possible election to the
senate, under obligations if elected,
to hold only the shadow of the Of
flee. having negotiated away its
substance to Wilson.

jumpers, the good singing, the
many different stunts were all en-
cored again and again. The tbeater
patrons today demand thrill of
some kind and they certainly get it
in this act.

18TH CENTURY
At WASHINGTON

Daniel J. Sullivan & Co. in
melodramatic sketch entitled Cap
tain Barry" is the big offering at
the Washington this week. An
Overlooking house greeted the new
bill, and as usual four perform
ances was given in order to accom-
modate all who wished to greet
Sullivan. There are three people
in the act besides Mr.. Sullivan and
all proved capable actors. Nothing
quite like Captain Barry" has been
seen upon the local vaudeville
stage. Sullivan himself is the pos
SCISSOR of splendid tenor voice,
which was heard to advantage in a
number of selections. Special seem
cry showing a forest and water rip
pie makes a splendid setting. AS
the play deals with events of the
18th century, it can be appreciated
that the costuming is most pic
turesque. A beautiful valley show
ing the lakes - Killarney en-
hances the pictorial beauty of the
scene.
Harry Won Fossen is the big riot
this week. Famous as a minstrel
man with the best organizations,
Van Fossen jumped into immediate
favor. He told stories and sang
parodies until the big crowd was
10th to let him go. Harry Van Fos-
sen is a real entertainer, with
most original style and his songs
and stories are immense.

ANOTHER JOLT IN COST
OF LIVING

less than the past five year aver
age. The shortage at these markets
for the first seven months of 1910
exceeds 25 per cent, as compared
with the average of former years.
There has also been a great de-
cline in the storing and shipping of
dressed cured meats. The packers
have sent out of Chicago Is per
cent less fresh beef, cured meats
and lard than in the corresponding
seven months period of any year
since 1900. The packers shipments
of canned meats for only 40 per
cent of the same period in 1906.
Nor are they storing a quantity of
meat.
The stock of meat on the last
day of July, 1910, at the five prin-
cipal packing centers had de-
creased about 100000 pounds
since the end of June and was
about one-third less than the aver
age for the same date in the five
preceding years, and of course the
trust will not bear the burden.
There are several reasons for the
scarcity of live stock and the
smaller kuantity of meat as meas
ured by pounds. First and greatest
of all is the big drouth. The west
ern range states, where the ma
tion's beef is raised in immense
herds, have suffered the worst dry
spell in 20 years. Grass withered
away and springs dried up. taking
from the herds both their food and
water. Thousands and thousands
OF cattle have been forced to the
stockyards markets because of this
condition. They have been coming
to market thin and bony. Packers
have not been able to obtain much
meat from them. Stockmen who at
this time every year buy up the
thinner range cattle, hogs and
sheep to feed up and sell to the
stockyards, bought sparingly be-
cause of the uncertainty of their
food crops. Especially is this true
of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and
Nebraska. ~
The ranges are being cut down
and turned into farms, and this is
decreasing the herds and flocks
and making it necessary to feed
stock with farm products, if the ma
tons meat supply is to be kept up.
The grain crops this year are good
but not nearly big enough to take
the place of the old range grass.
The scarcity of hogs is mostly
due to the high prices of the last
two years. The boom led many
farmers to sell off too closely their
brood hogs. 1t is generally esti-
mated that there are anywhere
from 100000 to 100000 fewer
hogs in the country than a year
ago. Is the end in sight? Yes, but
not in the immediate future.

DROVE MAN OFF A
STREETCAR

Spokane policemen by the present
police system.
With his wooden club Burns beat
and hands and shoulders. put him
off street car, and not satisfied
with accomplishing the end desir-
ed, chased him about ten feet and
clipped him so severely owe rthe
head that the bloom streamed from
his wound for several minutes, and
he had to be taken to the Emer-
gency hospital for treatment
At $40 Saturday afternoon one
of the ball ground cars was nearing
the park when the alteration be-
gan. Burns was standing on the
front end of the car, just behind
the motOrman. The outside man
on, the front steps was clinging
with both hands to the hand-grips
about his fare But while the con-
ductor was at the rear OF the car,
at the request of the motorman,
Burns started to put this man on
the steps-Roy Stranahan, a
switchman, %, living at 1874 Sher-
man-off the STEP Stranahan re-
fused to get off at once and started
to argue. Burns took out his stick
and hammered his knuckles and
wrists severely in an effort to make
him let go. The car meanwhile had
come to stop at the corner of a
street, and Stranahan let go with
one hand and made weak pass
at Burns with the other hand in
defense, but failed to come any
where near striking him.
THIS WAS THE ONLY OFTEN
SiVE ATTEMPT MADE DURING
THE WHOLE ALTERATION BY
STRANAHAN.
A moment later the man Burns
was beating up jumped off the car.
Burns followed him, striking him
time an dagain with his club. He
hit him about the arms, the head,
and one healthy clout started the
