Washington, May. 3.--Legislatlve

.ixth annual meeting in this city.
Dr. Frankel spoke on the subject
Insuranese against tuberculosis.
He pointed out thar it is feasible to
insure against sickness, but unless
some method by which every working
man would be obliged to insure were
devised. the very classes among
whom tuberculosis is most prevalent
would NOT be reached by this insur

He advocated the formation Of local
municipal or county departments who
.hould co iect taxes based ON the pay
rolls of employers of labor and who
ahould use this fund for the care OF
tuberculosis workingmen.
Instead Of compelling the payment
rl premiums on the part of EN-
aoyees," said Dr. Frankel, "it might

annual nrOductLOn.

In 1905, after the tobacco war
and night riding commenced in
kentucky, the wholesale coLsm-
ers turned their attention to Mis-
souri, encouraging farmers here to
attempt to raise white hurley in
large quantities by distributing
free seed and Offering a fancy
price for all which was produced.
The effect was magical, as the crop
doubled up over 1907, and so did
the worth. Early in 1908 tobacco
growers pursued the same course
with the result already related.
The white hurley tobacco grown
in Missouri in 1909, to be sold on
the Kentucky market, was dis
posed of for an average of Sl2.SS
per hundred. The crop, consist
inc of %, 900 pounds, was shipped
from Wallace, Mo. The tobacco
was pronounced by tobacco men
of superior quality, establishing
the fact that white hurley tobacco
can be grown in the state.

-Four Men Shot.

As the result of a battle with
shotguns and pistols at Carriers
vile, in Garrard county, late Fri
day afternoon, one man was fatal
ly wounded, two others may die,
and another man is badly hurt,
but will recover.
Link Lakes was shot twenty
one times and cannot recover.
Three buckshot entered his head
and one passed through one lung.
1t is not believed he can live.
Chris Woolvine was shot five
times and his son, Kirkden Wool
vine, was shot twice. 1t is thought
both will die.
Leonard Van Wrinkle was shot
three times, but it is thought he
will recover.
Twelve men took part in the af-
FRAY, and all used shotguns or pis-
tolls. Lakes was the only man on
his side to be injured. All the
others were members of the OPP
posing side.
The fight was the result of an
old grudge, it is said, and when
the men met the trouble came on
with a rush.

MISSOURI DOUBLES
TOBACCO YIELD
Wonderful Revival of an Almost
Forgotten Industry of That
Stdte---GrOwiug White
BUrley.

The night riders of Kentucky
and Tennessee, when they began
their war, two years ago. on the
tobacco syndicate, little figured
that by their depredations in those
two states they would revive and
virtually restore in Missouri an
industry which had almost become
a lost art-the growing of leaf
tobacco.
Early estimation and advance
figures intended for the 1910 Red
Book of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, issued recently by Com
missioner j. g. A. Hitler, indicate
that if all the farmers of Missouri
in 1909 devoted 800 acres of land
to tobacco, and at an average pro-
duction of $50 pounds to the acre
the entire crop for shat year
amounted to about 4,433,S5O
pounds of leaf. At an average
price of 10 cents per pound this
mass of nerve-soothing weed
was worth S576, 400, if all had
been sent to market
When a comparison is made with
the crop of 1905 it is at once" plain
that the increase in acreage for
1909 was 100 per cent. and in
Weld of tobacco over 1O2 per cent.
In oUher words, in one year the
industry Of growing tobacco
doubled, and in two years it near
~ tripled itself. All this infor-
nation, and much more, will make
up a chapter on Revival of To-
bacco Growing in Missouri-Crop
Doubles Itself in year" in this
years Red Book.
BY the following table Super
yising Statistician \. T. Edmons-
ton, Of the Bureau of Lab or
Statistics, has endeayored to show
the gains and losses of Missouri as
a tobacco-growing state in the last
ten wears. Immediately after the
Civil War Missouri ranked well
up and thousands Of acres were
given over to the industry. But
the last crop amounting to over
100000 pounds was in 1899, and
is told about in the table, which ut

WELCOMES.
Guns Thunder at Him, Whistles

Millions Cheer.

After an absence of nearly Is
months. Col. Roosevelt set foot on
home shores at New York last
Saturday and received the great
esq reception ever accorded an
American citizen. He was wei
coined home by Mayor Gaynor of
New York in the following Ian
guage:
Ladies and Gentlemen: We are
all here to welcome Mr.. Roosevelt
to New York. We have watched
his progress through Europe with
delight. Wherever he has gone
he has been honored as man, as
an exponent of the principles tf
the Government of this country.
He was received everywhere in
Europe and honored as no man
from this country ever was hon
ored. We glory in all that, and it
only remains for me to say now,
MIR. Roosevelt, that we welcome
you home most heartily, and we
are glad to see you again.
Replying to Mayor Gaynor'
address of welcome, Col. Roose-
welt said:
Il thank you, Mayor GaynOr.
Through you l thank your com
mittee, and through them | wish
: to thank the American people for
their greeting. | need hardly say
that | am most deeply moved by
the reception given me. No man
could receive such a greeting with
out being made to feel both very
proud and very humble.
Il have been away year and a
quarter from America, and / have
seen strange and interesting things
alike in the heart of the frowning
wilderness and in the capitals of
the mightiest and most highly pol
ished of civilized nations. have
thoroughly enjoyed myself and |
am more glad than / can say to
get home, to be back in my own
country, back among people love.
And | am ready and eager to do
my part so far as am able in
helping solve problems which must
be solved if we, of this, the great
est Democratic republic p n
which the sun has ever shone. are
to see its destinies rise to the high
level of our hopes and its oppor
tunities.
This is the duty of every citi-
zen, but it is peculiarly my duty;
for any man who has ever been
honored by being made President
of the United States is thereby
forever after rendered the debtor
of the American people and is
bound throughout his life to re-
member this as his prime obliga-
ton, and in private life as much as
in public life so to carry himself
that the American people may
never have cause to feel regret
that once they placed him at their
head"

one on Barber county citizen:
One day last week a farmer from
the Barber county line was in town
and went with Pratt business man
to his home to get a "cold one"
He left his auto stand in front of the
house on "a grade and failed to set
the brakes good. He had just got
interested y, in bottle of beer
when the car started to move down
the street. He started out but re-
membertng what he had in his hand
he said-"O, let it go, it will stop
when it gets ready. I can't leave
this The car ran a block and a
half then stopped without damage.
That was such a hot day we don t
blame him for not running after his
auto.

Noted Fruit Grower Dead

William G. Gano died at his home
near Parkville, Missouri, Thursday.
He was one of the foremost horti
culturalists of the country, and his
name will be famous always from
the fact that he gave his name to
the apple that goes by that ap-
pellation. He originated this ap-
pie and propagated many other
fruits. He was seventy-two years
old at the time of his death This
man was not very rich, but he be-
Queaths to the world something
better than riches. His life was
spent in an attempt to accomplish
something for posterity. When a
young man it was claimed that
fruit of any kind would not grow
in any of the western states, and
he undertook to disprove this state
ment. Many of the fine orchards
now in Missouri are the result of
his industry and foresight. He in
duced people to plant fruit trees
and shrubbery of all kinds, and
encouraged people all over the west
to plant orchards, and by his writ
ings and lectures told them how
to be successful. How much better
to live a life of that kind, and leave
to the world bequest such as
he left, than it is to surround ones
self with wealth and leave millions
at death. The world is better be-
cause William G. Gano lived in it,
and children yet unborn will testify
to his worth Alva Pioneer.
Mr.. Gano was one of the best
known fruit growers in the west anC
had a number of personal friends in
Barber county. The benefit that he
has been to the cause of horticul-
ture can not be over-estimated.
The deceased was a brother of J
B. Gano of King, formerly of this
city, this county The latter attend
ed the funeral.
