culture is the institution of a definite
system of crop rotation in which the le-
gumes shall predominant. This will ulti-
mately be brought about because of the
efficient work being done through our ag-
rfcultural colleges and experiment sta
tions for the dissemination of definite
knowledge concerning the Importance of
this work among the adult population
and the boys and girls of the southern
states. Nature will also take hand in
this matter and severely chastise the
laggard because of the early advent of
the boil weevil and many diseases which
now affect crops and animals, though
the injury done in the past was not
of sufficient moment to force definite
change in farm practice.
DESTROYING CATTLE TICKS.

When applying the oil it is of the utmost

cause OF the enormous outlay re-
quired to bridge the Mississippi riv-
err, but because 1t Is also OF great Inn
nortance from the traffic standpoint.
Trade and travel between st. Louis
and the great Industrial districts or
the other side of the river have been
handicapped for many years by the
so-called bridge monopoly. In 1906
the people voted almost unanimous
ly in favor of an issue of SO 500, 900
bonds to erect a municipal bridge.
The designs were made and accepted
by the committee in charge, but Con-
gresham w. B. Mckinley and his as
sociates of the Illinois Traction COM
pany anticipated the city officials
and broke the monopoly by construct
ing the great bridge which had its
formal opening today.
The franchise by which the Illinois
traction company was permitted to
build the bridge and its double-track
entrance into the heart of the st.
Louis business district thus making
possible through interurban service
and electric freight and express SER
vice, does not permit any arbitrary
charge for bridge traffic. The direct
revenue from the bridge, therefore,
must come from the five-cent fares
of the local street car service and the
i%nterurban fares based on two cents
a mile. Some additional revenue. of
course, will be received from the
tolls charged foot passengers and
team traffic moving over the roadways
at either side of the electric tracks.
The new bridge is by far the most
important and expensive single en-
ginering undertaking Of it's kind
built by an interurban electric rail-
way company. The structure is one
mile long and the largest on the Mis-
sissippi river, having a carrying ca
pacity Of 5000 pounds to the foot,
while that of its %neighbor, the Mer-
chants bridge, which is used fby a
number of steam railroad companies,
is $500 pounds to the foot. There
is a double railway track, and a dou-
BILE wagon driveway on each side. 1t
stands between the two old bridges,
three-quarters of a mile south of the
Merchants bridge.
The bridge proper consists of three
500-foot spans, seventy-fve feet
above high water, and the supports
are 80 fet above the floor. The
piers rest upon bedrock seventy feet
below the water.
The bridge was designed by Ralph
fModjeska. who superintendent its con-
struction, beating all records. Mod
jeska is a son of the famous Polish
actress, and designed the great bridge
over the st. Lawrence at Quebec,
which cost SIS, 100000.

as indicated by a letter OF Grand Rec
order Ne,li sent out to the members
August 20, 1910. The letter is In
teresting in itself, otherwise than
the financial statements it contains.
He says:
II drew a warrant today for the
last death loss that has occurred in
our order to date, and all Previous
valid claims have been paid or drafts
for payemtn are on the way to the
,benefciaries. In so large a mem
bership the death rate is SO regular
and the time taken to get proofs of
death returned that there is always
a dozen, more or less, of proofs of
death and 'nrst notices of death on
hand or on the way. But at this
Edate there is neither, to my knOwl-
ledge, in the A. o. u. w. of South Da-
kota.
lwo .ood Things.
"Such a situation argues two
things: First, that a kind providence
has suspended u death rate for the
time being, and second, that u
proofs of death and payments of los
ses are promptly made
"Of curse the death list will av-
erage up at the end of the year If it
has not already done so. Last year
at the end of August we had sixty
nine death losses approved. At the
end of August this year we will have
eighty. The hiatus in death losses
this month seems providential. This
time last year We had between twen-
Ity-five and thirty thousand dollars of
death losses, proved and improved,
that were unpaid. This year whe
have not one.
eleven months ago our new rates
went into effect and Jared us some,
but have had good results on the
whole.
Last year at this time we had no
surplus fund: this year at this time
we have nearly $50, 900.
I'VE car now very closely estimate
the result of the new rates to the
first of next October. just one year
after the. went into effect, as fol-
flows:
"Tave paid all death losses for the
year-October 1, 1910 to October 1,
1910.
"Have paid accumulated death
losses on October L, 1909, which
We're exhausted, $4,000.
Have paid into surplus fund to

Probable surplus next month,
$15,5OO.
Total surplus, with losses paid a
month ahead, $78,0S7."

RELEASED FROM JAIL
Old Man Is Given Freedom After
Having Been in Custody for
Five Months.

John Henry Fuller. who has been a
prisoner in the county Jail for the last
five months awaiting a trial on a rape
charge. was released from custody to-
day, following a nOlie PROSE- entered in
his case by the states attorney. His
case had been certified TO the county
court from the circuit court There
was little evidence against the old
man and It did not appear strong
enough to warrant his being held any
longer. Fuller was employed at odd
jobs about the Peoples National bank
building. He had quarters in the base
ment fronting on Eighteenth street.
1t was alleged that he enticed several
little girls into the basement and as
saulted them. Il developed later,
however, that although he had fright
ened the little girls, he had done moth

being released today Sheriff o. L.
Bruner supplied him with a new suit
OF clothes and he looked far better on
from the Jail than he did
when he entered.
