NAPLES IN CHoLERA's GRIP.
Startling Details Are Learned When
Censorship Is Removed.

Rome.-Since Asiatic cholera made
month ago, nearly 10000 persons
have died of the scourge, the news of
which has been suppressed by the au-
thorities.
Even in Naples bulletins are issued
daily now by the health officials. That
of Friday announced that there had
been 81 deaths of cholera in "a hours.
There were 80 new cases and % deaths
in Naples Tuesday.
This is well established here, al
though the official reports from Naples
announce only five cases and three
deaths in the past "a hours in the en-
tire province of Naples, three cases
and one death in the district of Apulia
and one death in the province of Fog
gia.
Here there have been four cases of
true cholera and one death, but no one
seems to feel the slightest alarm. Dis
patches from Sicily state that the
peasants are resisting the sanitary Of
fcials.
The government is actively trying
to prevent the spread of the disease
here and it's expectation. The quaran-
tine station on Nisedor island in the
Bay of Naples is being rapidly accom-
modated to receive many mole pa
tents. The foreign minister is taking
measures to protect incoming passen
gers from danger,

MhY a Cat Falls on It's Eert-

A scientist has constructed an inge-
NOUS model to show why cat in fall
Ing invariably alights on its feet This
model, roughly speaking, consists of a
cardboard cylinder wherein are stuck
four rods TO serve for legs, together
with a tail devised on similar princi-
pies. The object of the experiment
Is to show that feline's peculiar fac
nlty depends on the rotation of its tail
with sufficient vigor.
This faculty is specially developed
BY climbing and leaping animals, such
IS members of the cat tribe, monkeys,
squirrels, rats and most lemurs. AS
already stated. the tail plays an i'm
portant part in the turning process.
According to the investigator all tree
anhabiting monkeys have long tails,
and there is not the slightest doubt
that these tails are of great aid to
all climbers in enabling them to turn
in the air. The tail also serves as a
balancer, as evidenced in the case of
a squirrel, which may be seen walking
along tightly stretched wire or
string, swinging its tail from side to
side, much after the manner of tight
rope walker balancing himself with a
pole.

JESSIE MORRISON is PARoLED
Woman Who Killed Her Successful
Rival Is Given Freedom.

Topeka, Kan.-Jessie Morrison, who
has been serving a twenty-five year
prison sentence for killing Mrs DIN
Castle at Eldorado, Kan, on June II,
1900, was paroled by Governor Stubs.
Miss Morrison is the daughter of
former Circuit Judge H. NJ. Morrison.
Both the Morrison and Castle families
are prominent.
The murder of Mrs. DIN Castle was
one Of the most sensational crimes
in the history of the state. Miss Jes-
sic Morrison and Miss Clara Wiley
had both received attentions from
DIN Castle and jealous rivalry grew
up between them. Castle married
Clara Wiley.
On June %, 1900, neighbors heard
a fight going on in the Castle cot
tage. Miss Morrison was found hold
ing a razor and standing over her
rival, whose throat was cut Miss
Morrison said she fought in self-de-
tense. Mrs. Castle made a dying
statement declaring Miss Morrison at
tackled her.

BROOK|NS MAKES
WONDERFUL FLIGHT
Flies from Chicago to Springfield
in Record Time
IS GIVEN GREAT OVATION
Aviator Scars 1856 Miles in Five Hours
and 4o Minutes and Wins
$4,000 Cash
Prize.

Springfield. H. - What is looked
upon as one Of the most remark
able feats in aerial navigation was
accomplished by Walter B. Brook
ms, in a Wright biplane, when he sue
cessfully flew from Chicago TO this
city, and in doing SO he broke all
cross country aeronautic records.
With only TWO stops, neither Of
which was actually necessary, he made
the trip from Chicago to Springfield,
a distance of 1856 miles, in five hours
and forty-nine minutes, maintaining an
average speed of 32.7 miles an hour.
and winning the SO, 900 prize offered
by a Chicago newspaper.
Along the entire route, from Chicago
to the state fair grounds here, hun
dreds of thousands of people cheered
the daring young aviator as he passed.
As the great mechanical bird came
to the ground in the presence of 49,
900 people he was cheered YociferOus-
ly for fully half an hour
Brookins left Chicago at 9:15 a. N.
He dropped out of the clouds over the
fair grounds in Springfield at 4:45.
One Of the first persons to grasp
the airman by the hand as he stepped
from his seat after the long and spec
taculaI flight was Gov. Charles S. De
neen, who was followed by Mayor
John S. Gchnepp of Springfield.
Forty minutes after Brookins
rose from the ground in Washington
park. Chicago. the Daylight Special
left the Park Row station over the I'LL
nois Central. A special car had been
attached in which travelled Wilbur
Wright, the airship inventor; Roy
Knabenshue, special representative OF
the Wright brothers; members of the
Aero club OF Illinois, and about forty
newspaper men. This train was fated
to suffer the ignominy of being defeat
ed in race from Gilman to Spring
field by an airship.
After a flight of two hours and TWEEN
ty-eight minutes Brookins came to Gil
man, where he arrived at 11:43. Brook,
ms was far ahead of the train and he
decided to alight and await the arri-
val of the train He came down in a
corn field near town, from which the
machine was carried out by farmers
who ran to his assistance.
From Gilman to Springfield the spe-
cial train and the aeroplane ran neck
and neck, first one forging ahead,
then the other, but never at any time
more than a quarter of a mile apart
Brookins was forced at 1920 to
descend at Mt. Pulaski for fuel, only
| twenty-four miles from the state fair
grounds. The landing was one OF
| the most remarkable that has ever
| been seen in the history of aviation

| all sides and with perfect control he
| picked out spot, after soaring about
| In a short circle, scarcely more than
| half a block square and landed square
In the center. The special train was
held up, the aeroplane's supplies

is pretention that bantams are profit.
able and it pays to keep them for
their eggs, etc, etc. But this is but a
miserable trucking to the almighty
dollar. 1t may be, and doubtless is, a
fact that bantams are valuable fowls
to keep solely for profit, considering
the small amount of food they con-
sumo, but it is as pets that they are
generally bred, and miserly indeed
must be he who would grudge the lit
tie beauties their daily bird-like re-
past
Nevertheless, bantams, though kept
for pets, do lay eggs-just as good If
not as big as those of the larger breed,
and their flesh, though it seems wick
ed to kill them for the table, is de-
licious. So they can justly claim a
practical value aside from mere ap-
pearances which are so much in their
favor that one does not stop to inquire
do they pay?"
The very prettiest sight, without ex-
ception, that we have ever seen in the
line of thoroughbred poultry was a
large collection of bantams, number
ing one hundred and fifty, all in one
flock, of a half dozen varieties, and
puZzling us to tell which was the most
cute and beautiful birding in the lot

by the shooting soon captured the

PRAISE GIVEN LA TOILETTE
Wisconsin Republicans Warmly In
dorse His Principles.

Madison. Wis. : The platform
adopted by the Wisconsin Repub-
1ican state convention was proba-
bly, the most radical that has been
promulgated in many years.
The document is about 900 words
in length and touches with no uncer-
tain hand on a great variety of sub
jects.
No mention of the national admin
Istraton was made save to disparage
the platform. It is generally desig-
mated as radically progressive pro-
nunciamento.
Senator La Toilette, although far
from well, was present for the first
time when the resolutions were read.
Mention of his name was invariably
the signal for applause He addressed
the convention briefly, complimenting
the delegates upon the platform adopt
ed and declaring that the essence of
progressive Republicanism is expressed
in the single sentence: THE viii Of
the people shall be the law of the
land"
The reading Of the report of the
committee on resolutions was attend
ed by close interest and punctuated
with cheers. The platform as adopted
in part says:
1t is now recognized throughout
the country that Robert M. La Fol
lette was the pioneer in this progress
sive movement, and although he had
behind him yoarc of c0I4Dd proorocciyc
work, tried and approved in this state,
when he entered the United States
senate he had there neither sym
pathtzers nor following With the cour-
age, ability and determination that
has characterized all his public sery-
ices he adhered to his course, grew
into leadership, and now holds a posi-
ton of undisputed power and infiu,
ence in the nation.
The people Of Wisconsin believe
the results secured promise opportu.
nifty for greater achievements ana
they have by an unprecedented ma
jority expressed their faith in his wis
dom and craftsmanship and approved
his reelection to the United States
senate"
Wisconsin Democrats, in state plat
form convention, at which Chairman
]. E. Davies, who presided. predicted
a Democratic victory this fall, adopt
ed a platform with leading planks as
follows:
Endorses the national platform of
1908; declares the Republican system
Of tariff economically unsound, po-
litically corrupt and legalized rob
berry; the Payne-Aldrich tariff act Is
called an indefensible masterpiece Of
injustice. Favors a national income
tax, favors the election of United
States senators by direct vote, OPP
poses ship subsidies, denounces the

the conservation of national resources
and denounces the present admins
tration, especially Secretary Balm

u00D QUALITIES OF BANTAM
Though Kept for Pets They Do Lay
Eggs and They Are most Delicious
for the Table

A bantam biddy has apparently
large ideas about her relative impor-
lance, but the bantam male that
doesn't strut around as though he felt
as big as an elephant is sick. In good
health he never fails to appear as
important looking as a village police
man, says a writer in Fancier's Month
~. And are not his little, dainty, de-
mure wives just the most cunning bits
OF feathered life in all the poultry
world? OF course, they are. One can
not look at a housekeeping bantam
cock escorting trim, tiny hen with
out smiling in admiration They are
so very small, seem so very wise and
old and at the same time so pert and
sancy, that nothing will so quickly and
entirely captiyate a boy or lady
that has any inclination for pets as
will the bright little bantam.
Many poultry fancier now grown
gray-naired and aged, can look back
to the day long ago when he first
owned flock OF bantams and wished
for nothing more on earth to fill the
measure of his youthful delight. There

WAY OF FATTENlNG TURKEYS
Good Method Is to Allow Birds to
Roam at Will Over Small Grain,
Glover and Corn Fields.

I have had good deal of experience
in rearing turkeys. By giving the
flock good attention I seldom lose any
The birds have free range at all times,
as they are of a roaming disposition
and won't do well in close confine
ment. I feed twice daily; in the
morning, wheat, sunfiower seed, buck
wheat and some kind of cooked
vegetable; in the evening whole corn,
writes Anna S. Lembke of Cass coun-
ty, Iowa, in Orange Judd Farmer. Dur
ing the day the birds wander at will
over the small grain, clover and corn
fields. In the former two they get a
large quantity of insects and in the
latter more or less vegetable food. In
the wheat fields they also get consid-
cradle grain left after the crop is har-
vested When they are in the barn
yard l give them all the skim milk and
buttesmilk they will drink and supply
them plenty of coarse grit where they
have access to it at all times. pail
of sIaked lime is also within reach.
Plenty of fresh water is essential at
all times.
Some people pen their turkeys for
a few weeks before marketing, but
I find the birds do better if allowed to
run at large. There is no danger of
overlooking by this method. 1t is
necessary, though, to see that they
get all they will eat up clean. At this
time I feed boiled potatoes and scald-
ed corn meal, but never much oats, on
account of the hulls. A few weeks be-
fore marketing, when the birds begin
to take on fat rapidly and many times
don't care to come home, then ] give
them such appetizers as boiled rice,
clabber and cheese. | never house the
turkeys, but let them roost in the
trees. The birds are so tame they
will eat out Of my hands. They do
much better when treated in this kind
of way.
I examine them occasionally to see
how they are Pumping up. All that
have well filled breasts and are fat
are selected for the Thanksgiving
market. The others are fed for the
Christmas batch. In order to have
good-sized birds for these two mar
kets l hatch as early in the spring as
nossible, SO as to get the fowls we'll
matured and capable of filling out
we'll. l have found the plan above to
he common sense in fattening, much
better than the feeding of highly con-
centrated food, which too often de-
ranges the digestive organs. 1t is
better to feed somewhat too little than
to overdo the thing.
