CANCER INCREASING
SECOND IN SOME COUNTRIES.

Washington, Nov. &C. A report
by DR.. Reid Hunt, of the United
States Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service, on the information
al conference for the study of cancer,
held recently in Paris, has just been
made public, in which he says in
part.
The president of the conference
Prof. Czerney, stated that recent
statistics show that cancer is increas-
ing and that in some countries it
in adults.
Some striking figures were pre-
sented as to the result of cancer, the
mortality from this disease being in
some places almost as high as that
from tuberculosis. It was pointed
out that there is a higher death
rate from cancer among women in
the United States, as compared with
men, than in any other country
The death rate from cancer of the
stomach was stated to be especially
high in the United States.
Nearly all the speakers agreed
that the nonsurgical forms of treat
ment have but limited field of use
fulness.
mo evidence was presented that
the cancers Of the lower animals are
ever transmitted to man, but it was
generally recognized that in many,
although by no means in all, Of the
tumors of the lower animals similar
pathological processes occur as in
man"

BACK TO THE FARM
IDEA is TO BE ENCOURAGED.

Washington, Nov. 26.- The edu-
cation of children in rural districts
in accordance with the back to the
farm movement, is to be encouraged
by the Department of Agriculture
henceforth.
Secretary Wilson proposes to UNI
dertake a campaign through the
farmers Institutes. Prizes, such as
a well-bred calf. trio of chickens,
medal or trip TO the county fair
are to be offered to winners of such
contests as milking COW, grooming
horse, shocking hay, cooking,
baking, sheep shearing, corn husk-
ing anything that appertains to
life on the farm. The department in
a special bulletin, setting forth plans
says that out of every 500 young
people in the country districts in
the United States only one ever en-
ters an agricultural college. OF ev-
cry 100 rural and urban children
only five ever reach the high school,
and only 6 ever go beyond the ele-
mentary schools. Ninety-four out Of
every 100 children therefore finish
their education with the district
school. Inasmuch as these ga chill
dren include those in cities and towns
as we'll as those in the country dis
tricts, and since city and town chill
dren continue longer in school than
do those in the country, it is safe to
say that fully 81 out of every 100
rural boys and girls finish their ed
ucation with the district school. The

ing and Judging contests.

STATE REVENUES FROM
NATIONAL FORESTS.

Washington, Nov. 26.-For the
fiscal year ended June 80 last, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture an
nounces, the rs per cent Of National
Forest revenue which will go to the
states for road and school purposes
amounted to $506,194.S4. This was
$67. 492.03 more than last year, or
an increase of g little over Is pei
cent. The pawn !nts are an offset to
the loss of income from taxable prop
erty sustained through withdrawal
of the forest land from entry under
the public land laws
The amounts which will go to the
various states are as follows: Ari-
IONA, S51, 229.3S; Arkansas, 1904
A; California, S60,752.91; Colora-
do, s50,306.19; Florida, $706.3S;
Idaho, s66,074.55; Kansas, $1,O04.-
81; Minnesota, $457.37; Montana,
$S3,67S.3s; Nebraska. $2,S2O.25:
Nevada. $16,314.33; New Mexico.
$2S,529.53; North Dakota, $685.;
Oklahoma, $626.1O; Oregon, $685.
635.S7; South Dakota, $9,SOs.so;
Utah, s32,9o5.49; Washington. $780,
671.S9; Wyoming, $34,7O4.54.
Noteworthy is the especially
heavy heavy increase over the
amounts last year in certain states.
In California the amount rose by ov-
er 25 per cent, in Idaho by over 35
per cent and in Oregon by nearly SO
per cent. The increases are the re-
suit Of increased activity in National
Forest timber sales in these states
and are an earnest of what will hap
pen as the timber supply which the
Government is caring for comes into
full demand. Since the cut of tim
Der will always be limited to what
the Forests will keep on growing,
the income to the states will be per-
manent. not transitory, as would
have been the case if hasty and i'm
provident exploitation had been per-
mitted. According to the calcula-
tons of the Department OF Agricul-
ture officials the states will eventu-
ally receive many times what the
forests are now yielding them, for
there is as yet on the whole only q
very restricted demand for the Gov
ernment's timber.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 26.-John
Edgerton of Helena, Mont, a fra
ternity brother of DR.. B. Clark Hyde,
convicted of the murder of Colonel
Thomas H. Swope, millionaire and
philanthropist, has come to the ply
sician's aid. In a letter received
here Edgerton says he sent Hyde two
pounds of cyanide in July of 1903,
after casual meeting with the
physician on board train in Kansas.
This statement is considered of vital
interest to DE- Hyde. as it may
bridge what was claimed to be the
weakest point in his defense. Hyde
testified he found cyanide of potas-
SUM useful in killing bugs. Asked
if he had ever purchased any prev
ious to that shown by the evidence
in the Swope case, DR.. Hyde said he
had great deal. Asked to give the
name of druggists where he had
purchased it, Hyde said he could not
remember where he got it.
Hyde is under life sentence for
the murder of Colonel Swope and
has appealed to the supreme court.
Dr.. Hyde today said he remember
ed getting the cyanide from Edger-
ton after meeting the latter on a
train, but as he had forgotten Edger-
tons name he did not give this tes-
timony a thought at his trial.
Asked what was the use of cyan
ide, Hyde replied:
We'll, cyanide is excellent for re-
moving stains from the fingers after
laboratory work

discovery May be Means OF Grantin.
Convicted Murderer a New
Trial.

Helena, Nov. 2o.-l1 Dr. B. C,
Hyde is awarded new trial it will
probably be because John Edgerton,
prominent Helena mining man
and member of the last legislative
assembly, saw Hyde's name in the
directory of the Phi Gamma Delta
fraternity.
Mr.. Edgerton last night told the
full story of how he sent Hyde a box
OF cyanide, estimated at two pounds,
years ago, and how he came to let
Hyde's attorney know of this fact.
Edgerton's statement is consid-
cred of great Importance to Hyde in
view Of the fact that the latter, dur
ing his trial, could not explain to the
satisfaction of the jury where he had
procured cyanide. which he admitted
he had been using for many years.
Edgerton's statement follows in
part:
'In April of May, 1893, having
lost my health in Montana, l was on
a crowded train between Cherryvale
and Kansas City. My seatmate was
a young man whom l afterward
learned was Hyde. l was just able
to be about and our talk naturally
hinged about my illness and from
that We got to talking about cyan.
ide. Hyde appeared to be interested
in cyanide, and as l had been using
the stuff in milling operations
promised to send him some. III
July of that year I was in Hill City,
S. D., in charge of a property and
one day when the mine closed down
! filled chalk box with cyanide and
rode into town and mailed it to the
young doctor. I wrote him q note
on the letter head of a banking
house, explaining that l had sent the
stuff. l thought no more about it
for many years, but when Hyde's
trial came on / followed it closely.
"The statement OF Juror Crone
AAA@AS q o'AolS Ou 1uc,
but desiring to avoid the publicity, l
could not make up my mind to let
Hyde know that recalled the Incl
dent. One day last summer l was on
a train in Northern Montana when /
became engaged in conversation with
two ladies from Kansas City and we
talked about the Hyde case. From
them / secured the name of Hyde's
attorney. After ] returned home !
still could not make up my MIND
with regard to the case until about
six weeks ago, when lying on the
bed one day saw the fraternity di-
rectory and l wondered whether or
not Hyde's name was among the
members. Picking up the book
found the name of the Kansas City
doctor and then it was l wrote to
him in care of his attorney and re-
called the incident OF having sent
him the cyanide II years ago."
Mr.. Edgerton has heard nothing
from his letter, aside from the story
of the press, which was shown him.
