steamer entering port here today re-
ports that two Englishmen and
three Cinnamon were eaten by
the cannibays of the Admiralty Is
lands. The officers of the steam
er say that the story as learned
from European and American resi-
dents of the islands is that the En-
glishmen and the Cinnamon went
into the interior on trading ex-
pedition, and their failure to re-
turn excited suspicion. A searching
aprty was organized, and conclusive
proof was established that the
party was organizd, and conclusive
natives. At a point many miles in
land, a recent camp with the bones
OF human beings scattered around
was found. Letters and other evil
dence picked up show conclusively
that the bones were those OF the
missing men.
The disappearance of the men oc-
cured about, the time of q religions

the belief is that these eaters OF

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-

icine we know of has such O record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.

toria and hospitals for the treatment
Of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions of
pieces, thousands of lectures have
been given, large sums Of money have
been secured, hundreds Of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi-
ties where no movement had existed;

and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During

KANSAS TOPICS
Use Oil in osawatomle Asylum.

Use Oil in osawatomle Asylum.
Topeka.-The Kansas state board
of control is attempting a new depar
ture in the matter of fuel for the Osa
watonie state insane asylum. For a
long time it has been found that be,
cause of the peculiar geographical To-
cation Of Osawatomie, in relation to
the railroads, that coal was an expen-
sive fuel. The long roundabout way
of getting the coal to the institution
naturally made the expense of hauling
very high.
1t has been decided to burn fuel
oil in the Osawatomie plant this win
ter. To that end oil tanks and con-
nections and changes in the boilers
are now being made, which will cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000. The
changes will be completed in time for
the cold season.
On September the board of control
will let contracts for $4,000 barrels Of
fuel oil, upon the receipt of bids. on
that day. 1t is estimated by the board
that three barrels of oil is c~ual to a
ton of coal. The board figures that
with the cheaper hauling rates on oil,
because of the shorter haul, money
can be saved by the change, and in
addition it is estimated that oil will
be considerably cheaper. 1t is an ex-
pertinent which the directors and
boards of state institutions are very
much interested in.
While the state institutions get a
great deal of coal from the state peni-
Tertiary coal mine, and which costs
little besides the hauling, yet the state
coal mines cannot get out big enough
supply for all of them, and coal has
to be bought on the market regularly.
