Giant Eagle Was Pig Thief.

Washburn, Mo-, April 24.-What
is said to be the largest eagle ever
seen in this section of the country
was captured by c. N. Drexel, a
farmer, living several miles west Of
this place.
The bird measures more than six
feet from tip to tip Of wings and
stands nearly three feet high.
For several days Drexel had been
missing pigs and young lambs from
his pastures, but thought they were
stolen, as no trace Of the young ami
mails could be found.
While feeding his stock early to-
day he heard his dog yelping in an
orchard near the barn. Upon inves-
tigation he found the animal engaged
in fierce combat with the big bird
and getting the worst of the fray.
The eagle was captured and used
asa decoy in an unsuccessful effort to
catch its mate.

To Detect Crushed Feed Adulter-

Stir little of the feed to be tested
in glass of cold water, stirring it up
vigorously; then leave it stand for a
few minutes.
The solids will 90 to the bottom,
and such authorizations as oat hulls,
etc., will be easily distinguished at
the top. If the feed contains a rough
age and assimilating ration like alfal-
ia meal, the hulls will be easily de-
tected mixed in meal, which lies on
top Of the water.
If the feed contains weed seeds
they will be easily observed mixed in
with the solids, such as corn chop.

Bitten BY a Horse.

Tom O'Neal is carrying his right
hand in a sling as result of horse
bite he received a day or two ago.
He was out at the Herman Steuck
farm, near Papinville, doctoring a
sick horse, and when he attempted to
pry the animals mouth open, the
horse made a grab at him, catching a
finger of his right hand and almost
biting it off. The injury is very
painful one, and will disable Uncle"
Tom for some time. Rich Hill Re-

Obituary..

Clela Ardath, the only daughter of
George and Katie Daniels, of near
Horace, Kansas, died Thursday, April
IA, of organic heart failure, aged 2
years, 5 months and % days. She
was not noticed to be seriously sick
till about two hours before she died,
when she was found unconscious and
remained so until the last. The father
had gone to town some ten or twelve
miles away and no one was with her
but the mother and little brother
about five years old. The mother saw
something had to be done so she told
the little boy to stay with sister while
she went to neighbours about 1 IA
miles away. When she returned he
said, Little sister didn't want any
thing while you was gone. She
lived only a little over an hour after
the mother returned and the father
did not reach home till some time af-
ter she had died.
just day or two before she died
she was telling little Paul what she
remembered of the Sunday School
lesson Sunday or two before. She
said, "Jesus took the little girl by the
hand and lifted her up" All, how
soon Jesus did take the little girl by
the hand and lift her up to Himself
where sorrow or sickness ne'er can
come.
The Savior said, "Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not for of such is the Kingdom
of God" O'were we as pure and in
nOcent as she when we come to die.
1t seems very hard to give up our
loved ones, but sometime, sometime
we'll understand.
The fond parents and little Paul
have the heartfelt sympathy of their
many relatives and friends. X.

Ladies' Minstrels a Great Success

1duicS u1ilSlIcIS UEcdl QUEUES
The Ladies MinstrelS, produced I'M
der the auspices of the Ladies Gene
terry Association in this city April 80,
1910, was a success in every sense
of the word, and was regarded by
all, who were fortunate enough to be
present as one of the best home talent
productions ever staged in this city.
The curtain arose on the minstrel
ensemble, of which the first part of
the entertainment consisted, to the
opening chorus, "The Sign of the
Honeymoon" The stage setting rep
resented a beautiful roof garden.
Those in black face were Misses
Prudence Trimble and Virginia Lamp
ton, lend men,, and Misses Hortense
Trimble, Clara Hill, Kate Canterbury
and Leila Clark. At the back of the
minstrel circle were grouped five
tables at which were seated: Misses
Laura Walton, Classic Meyer, Nellie
Douglass, Linda Nix, Jessie Nix,
Mike McLees, Marie Fisk, Eda Lock-
wood, Ste h Tallo Birdie Vantrees,
Francis Vaughn, Winifred Pharis,
Marguerite Snider Edna Clark and
Hazel Ludwick; colored walters,
Misses Grace Shafer, Helena Cook,
Helen ChaStain and Selma Gench.
The following musical numbers
were beautifully rendered and highly
appreciated by the audience: y
Garry Marry Harry"-IIortense
Trimbe.
"Old Grey Bonnett'-Francis
Vaughn
Down Among the Sugar Cane
Virginia hampton.
"Red Head"-Edna Clark.
"Swanee Baben-Lela Clark.
"MeSmerizing Mendelssohn Tune"
Marguerite Snider.
"Emmaline "---Prudence Trimble
and Virginia hampton.
Closing Chorus.
Between the musical numbers was
interspersed rapid five of the APP
propriate and eXcruciatingly funny
jokes and gags"
Mrs. Will b. Weeks handsomely
gowned and strikingly beautiful
played the part of interlocuter to per-
lection.
Part two consisted of the highly
humorous two-act comedy Timothy
Delano's Courtship' in which each of
the following cast played his or her
part with the ease and perfection of a
finished actor: Miss Tabitha," Mrs
Will Stanley; Timothy Delano",
Chester Sleeth; Miss Susie NewSom,
the niece; Dean Canterbury, the
nephew, and Miss Kate Canterbury,
colored girl.
Music was furnished by the Allen
Orchestra and Miss Irene Mains and
Clyde Rogers, which contributed
largely to the success of the enter
tainment.
Miss Fannie Catron, OF this city,
who is especially famous for her his
tronic ability, directed the entertain
ment and too much credit cannot be
given her perseverance and ability.

CHOYNSK| FORCES
JEFF TO LAY OFF
Physical Director Orders Big FeI-
low to Take Long Rest
from Training
ENJOYS PLUNGE IN THE SURF
Champ and Manager Refuse to
State Their Choice
for Referee
fAssociated Pressl |

BEN LOMOND, Cal, April 25.-Fol-
lowing the suggestion of Joe Choynski,
the new physical director a Camp
RoWardennan, Jim Jeffries forsook the
training curriculum today, and if he
can be prevailed on to accept the ad-
vice of his handlers it will be several
days before the gymnasium and the
handball court see him again. The big
fighter has been annoyed during the
last few days by large skin eruption
in the small of the back, a condition
diagnosed by Choynski as a serious dis
order of the blood. 1t is the trainers
opinion that Jeffries has been working
too arduously since he went into train
ing, and from now on the order of labor
alton for system.
Accompanied by Sam Berger, Farmer
Burns and a party of friends Jeffries
took an automobile trip to Santa Cruz
this afternoon, where the former cham
pion had a dip in the surf and enjoyed
a hot salt water tub bath. A swift trip
from the beach brought the party back
to Ben Lomond in time for the evening
meal, at which Jeffries displayed a we'll
proportioned appetite that had been set
on edge by the sea breeze.
Berger and Jeffries have had no
formal talk over the matter of a
referee, although the date for the selec-
tion of the man who is to officiate at
Emeryville on the Fourth of July is
only little more than a week distant.
Whatever views they may hold as to
who the referee should be they are
holding in strict reservation.

TAFT AND DOUBLE WILL
SIT TOGETHER AT GAME
PittSburg Police Sergeant Dead
Ringer for the President.
May Puzzle Fans

PITTSBURG, April 25.-The presi-
dent of the United States may figure
in a double play in the baseball
game here between Chicago and Pitts
burg a week from today--and such a
double play as never was seen in base
ball.
President Taft is to attend the game,
but however we'll known are his fea-
lures and figure it is likely that the
crowds in the grand stand will rub
their eyes before they make sure that
they see straight, for it is said to have
been arranged that beside the chief
executive shall sit Thomas Morley, po-
lice sergeant of Pittsburg. The latter
is a perfect double of President Taft
in height, weight and features.
Pittsburg friend of the president
several days ago mailed Mr.. Taft a
picture of the police sergeant dressed
in his Prince Albert coat and wearing
his hat. The president was so amused
at the remarkable likeness of himself
that he is said to have expressed a
wish to meet Mr.. Morley and to have
him sit beside him at the ball game.
Mr.. Morley relates a story of having
been followed through the streets of
Philadelphia by crowd several
months ago, and that he had to ap-
peal to the police. He found it neces-
sary, he says, to explain to many that
he was not the president of the United
States-just plain Tom Morley, police
sergeant of Pittsburg.

LOCKWOOD TWIRLS WELL

Crack, but Luck Is
Not There
lockwood TWIRLS WELL

The baseball artists of Pomona seem
to have their hearts set on the inter-
collegiate rag" this year by the way
they are annexing the first part of the
schedule. All of the southern colleges
have fallen victims to Coach Stanton's
men and the Claremont fans see no
rivals in the field for the championship
of 1910.
The first game between Pomona and
Occidental, played on the Baer field
yesterday, resulted in a victory for the
visitors by a score of 3 to l. Each
team succeeded in damaging the other
for five bingles, but Pomona seemed
to connect with the sphere OF the crit
ical periods.
Lockwood, Occidentals lengthy
HEAVIER. was the comet of the day,
striking out thirteen of Captain Shut s
aggregation, but luck and support were
lacking in the final reckoning.
Baer had his batting eye with him
and touched up Kingman for a pair of
walks and two singles out of five trips
to the swinging ground. Seay, Oxy' s
second sackster, got a pretty double
out of the picking and showed up his
percentage with aother hard one into
the center patch.
Graft, the Pomona guardian of the
initial sand pile. played a headline
game for his team, getting in front of
number of hard ones and landing
on the pellet for two trips down the
baseline. Kingman tossed a heady
game throughout and twice saved
himself from a flood of Oxy tallies
by striking out a man in the pinch.
The largest inter- collegiate gather
ing of the season witnessed the fray
and applauded both teams generously.
Gorton, Oxy's star coach, lectured his
men with fatherly advice after the
game and told few in confidence that
the race was not to the swift, with

the conditions governing their bout on
Thursday night are so much more Ia
vorable to Webster than to Conley that
conservative opinion gives the local
boy a fine chance to defeat the cham
pion.
Conley is well known to be sturdy
youngster, slower than the average
fancy boxer, able to take almost un-
limited punishment and possessed OF
that bulldog courage and stamina that
make the long route especially suited
to his best efforts. on the contrary.
Webster depends more upon his speeo
and cleverness than upon punch to
win his fights and this being true
long route is calculated to diminish
his chances of winning. This was CIV
en- ample proof when Conley and Monte
Attell fought their 42-round scrap at
Vernon. That was another case of a
hardened fighter against a speedy boxer
and the route finally conquered the fast
boxer and made him victim of the
slower, sturdier and harder hitting
fighter. Nature was exhausted before
the fighter stepped in and won.
These facts, taken in connection with
that of the short route prescribed for
their return match Thursday night,
shows the difference in opinion regard
ing the two fighters over different
routes. In short bout Webster fig
ures to be very troublesome to the
champion and he can go at his speed
limit in every round If necessary, with
out running the risk that would fall
to his lot were he to attempt the same
tactics over a % or 45-round course.
That he is cleverer than Conley is ad-
mitted and of course everybody knows
