A GOOD BOIL WEEVIL FIGHTER.


The boil weevil is a pest to be sure,
but there are many ways of fighting him
and his advent will be blessing in that
diversified crops will follow with great
advantage to the people of this section
The oats crops is one of the best means
of counteracting the effects OF the weeviPs
ravages and farmers of this country last
fall sowed largely of that splendid food
crop for stock as well as to keep land
from washing.
The Appler oat seems to be the very
best variety as it does not rust, and stands
the drought,nor too much rain better than
other kinds, but its really greatest merit
is that Its heads fill out full and heavy,
often weighing IS pounds to the measured
bushel
Some years ago Mr.. S. w. Tinnin, OF
Fannin, commenced sowing the Appler
oats and this year the firm of Tinn;n and
Brown averaged IS bushels to the acre
or 100 acres.
H. d. Tinnin, of same neighborhoOd
made 1900 bushels on 40 acres Owen
Brown gathered 1000 bushels from %
acres, and J. C. White, of near Brandon,
made about 1900 bushels on less than 40
acres.
L. S. May and H. c. Purvis, of Bran
don, made splendid yields having secured
their seed oats from the Tinnins'.

JURY INDlCTS BIG
. PACKING COMPANY
Government Files Suit Seeking
Dissolution of Chicago Meat
Corporation
Beef Trust Will Fight to Finish
According to Statements of
General Counsel

CHICAGO. March 21.-Eight weeks
after it had begun its investigation for
alleged violations of the Sherman anti
trust law, the federal grand jury today
returned indictments against the No
tional packing company and 10 sub
sidiary concerns.
Immediately upon announcement OF
the indictments before Judge Kenesaw
M. Landis, the government filed a suit
seeking the dissolution of the packing
company. The suit is one in equity
and besides those indicted, 16 firms and
individuals are made defendants.
In a statement issued on behalf OF
the National packing company, Ralph
Crews, it's general counsel. tonight
gives some inkling of the determine
tion to fight the government to the
limit. His statement follows:
"The company was organized in
March, 1903, for the purpose of econo-
MIXING in operation of certain subsid-
iary corporations named jointly with
it in the indictment returned today by
the federal grand jury for the northern
district of Illinois. Its organization
was directed by the best counsel OBJ
tainable, who then believed and now
believe it's organization and the opera
ton of it's subsidiary companies in no
way transgressed the provisions of the
Sherman act; and in this respect it is
practically similar to nearly all the
large corporations of the country.
THE total percentage of the business
done by the corporation controlled by
the National packing company forms
but small part of the whole volume OF
the packing industry.
This proportion could not constitute
a monopoly in any sense of the word.
Instead of operating to restrain the
trade of its subsidiary companies, as
alleged in the indictment, it is fact
the companies have all shown a healthy
increase since the formation OF the
National. The company is operated by
its officers purely as competitive and
independent factor in the trade
1.-THE indictment today returned and
the bill in equity today filed by the dis
trict attorney are directed at the or
ganization and operation of this COM
pany These operations have, at all
times, been frank and open, and we are
confident that the courts will sustain
our contentious on their legality
The defendants are the National

Rev. Father Lambert Louis Conrardy,
the Roman Catholic priest who dedi-
Gated his life to the relief of the suf-
ferings of lepers, is we'll remembered
in this city. where he has made two
extended visits in behalf of his mission.
The word received from China that the
heroic priest is dying from the disease
which he fought so desperately against
was received here with profound grief.
Father Conrardy visited San Fran
cisco in 1883 and again in 1896. On each
visit he spent considerable time at the
leper hospital in this city, studying the
conditions. interviewing the patients
and administering TO their physical and
spiritual needs. AS close a student Of
the disease as he is devout in his re-
ligfous profession, Father ConTardy's s
stay in San Francisco did much to
brighten the lives of the isolated vic
tins of the terrible scourge of leprosy.
COLLECTED FUNDS HERE
During his visit to San Francisco
Father Conrardy devoted some of his
time to the collection of funds with
which to further his work among the
depers. Both in 1888 and 1896 he gave
lectures for the benefit of his fund.
Prominent Catholic families enter
tanned the priest while he was in this
CITY. Father Conrardy came of noble
Belgian house, but forSook the luxury
of official life in Brussels to administer
TO the most lowly, miserable and unfor-
tunate, the lepers of the Hawaiian
islands and of China His first work in
that field was with Father Damien, the
illustrious Belgian priest. Father Da-
mien came of peasant stock, but in the
field of sickness and distress the noble
effaced himself and followed obedi-
entity the peasant priest until Father
Damien died.
Later, when the United States gov
ernment took over the control of Molo-
kai and the living conditions of the
lepers were improved, Father Conrardy
turned his face bravely toward still
more distressful community, the leper

MAN ASKS
SHARE OF ESTATE
Prolonged Battle Waged in the
Courts of Massachusetts,
Over Russell Fortune
[ [SeeeiaI Dspateh 70 The Colll

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 21.-
Daniel Blake Russell No. 2, claimant for
the $4,000 fortune of the William
Russell estate for which a fight of
over 100 days has already been waged
in the courts, entered an appearance in
the case today through his attorney,
William odlin of Boston, whom he re-
tanned by wire.
This second claimant is the Fresno,
Cal, man known there as one ]. S. III.
Johnson. He maintains that he is the
real Daniel Blake Russell who wandered
from the paternal fireside in Melrose 25
years ago. He now wants his share of
the Russell fortune. Daniel Blake Rus
sell No. 1. as the first claimant is now
labeled, is a North Dakota ranchman
and is being backed in his fight by
powerful North Dakota interests.
The defense alleges that the Dakota
man is an impostor, whose real name is
Rousseau of Massena, n. Y.
Attorney Odlin knows very little
about his clients claims as yet, but
proofs are said to have been mailed by
Johnson to the Melrose chief of police.
This will fight has been one of the
most celebrated in Massachusetts. with
an imposing array of experts and coun-
sci on both sides, and is replete with
charges and counter charges of perjury,
forgery and the like.

Rev. Father Conrardy. Who Is Dying in Canton
Leper Colony, Well Remembered Here

settlement near Canton, China.
Before finally burying himself in the
pitiful environment of disease and filth
Father Conrardy made last tour OF
civilization to arouse interest in his
humane work and collect funds for the
eradication of the degradation in which
the Chinese lepers lived. 1t was dur
ing this tour that he last visited Sar
Francisco in 1896. He spent the fall
months of that year in San francisco
and on the coast.
While on the coast Father Conrardy
gave an interesting talk on leper con-
ditions. which was published in The
Call of December 8. 1896.
'Leprosy,' said the coura ageous
priest, lis an infectious, though not A
contagious disease. In certain types
of the disease it is communicated to
any person who exposes an abrased
surface of the skin to contamination.
Father Damien contracted the disease
while administering to the Affections
of a young boy. Father Damien had
severely bruised his hand, but he con-
tinued his holy work in spite of the
injury. He took ordinary precautions
to prevent Infection, but they did not
avail him and he became afflicted with
the disease.
ADULTS LIVE SIX YEARS
'The average life of an adult leper
patient after his infection is six years.
With children the end comes more
quickly"
At that time Father Conrardy brave
ly secuted the idea that he might be-
come affected with the disease, al
though he expressed his realization of
the dangers he faced in entering upon
the work among the terrible conditions
in which he had found the Chinese
lepers.
The Call of September 2, 1896, tells
of Father Conrardys visit to the leper
hospital in this city and his interest in
the patients and the Goto cure which
was being tried at that time at the in
stitution.

BURKE FIGHTS TO
QUASH INDICTMENTS
Attorneys Make Technical At
tack on Regularity of Grand
Jury Findings

| SANTA ROSA, March 21-A techni-
cal fight on the regularity of the in
dictments brought against DR.. Willard
P. Burke was begun today before Judge
Seawell in hearing on a motion of
the defense to have the indictments
set aside. Three members of the grand
jury which indicted the sanatorium
proprietor on charges of dynamiting
tent house in which Lu Eta Smith
and her child were asleep and of IL
legal surgical practices were brought
forward as witnesses for the defendant
today and testimony also was given by
court officers who took part in the in
quisitorial bodys proceedings.
The hearing had not been completed
when court adjourned this afternoon.
Several witnesses for the prosecution.
it was announced, will be placed on the
stand tomorrow, after which the mo-
tion to quash will be argued
w. A. Mills, w. Evart and Frank A.
Petray were the grand jurymen called
to the stand.
The defense sought to show that
members of the grand jury were pre-
/ disposed against Doctor Burke before
| his case came to their attention; that
| Sheriff j. X. Smith, following his ap-
| pearanee as witness, remained in the
grand jury room while other evidence
was being received; that District At
torney Lea himself was the first person
to exhibit a fuse, claimed to be the one
| that caused the explosion. to the in
quisitors; that two jurymen were not
on the assessment rolls of the county
and were, therefore, ineligible to serve
on the jury, and that nullifying errors
had been made in the actual prepara-
ton OF the indictments.
Judge Seawell ruled that, regarding
the eligibility of the two challenged
grand jurymen. the appellate court had
already disposed of the question.
