Gives Election Opinion.

jefferson City, Mo-, June l.-Ir
view of the fact that five counties
have called special elections for Aug.
ust l, the date upon which the new
Capitol bond proposition will be sub.
mitted to the State, Attorney General
Major to-day prepared written opin.
ion showing that entirely different
machinery is provided by law for the
So, $780, 900 Capitol bond issue, and for
any local issue that might be submit
ted to the voters upon the same date.
This was the view expressed by
Secretary of State Roach several days
ago, and he quoted the verbal opin-
ion of the Attorney General to the
same effect.
The counties in question are Linn,
jefferson, Dunklin, Putnam and Pike.
w. r. Hollister, on behalf of the
Missouri Capitol Rebuilding Commit
tee, yesterday addressed letter of
inquiry to the Attorney General pre-
pared an official reply.
The Attorney General says that the
Legislature intended the Capitol bond
election to be held separate and apart
from any other, and the election ma
chinery it provided falls far short of
the requirements for local elections.
1t has been proposed, also, that the
City of ST. Louis hold a special cleo
ton August for voting upon an is
sue of bonds for the free bridge. In
a conference between the Attorney
General and City Counselor Walther,
of St. Louis, the latter agreed that the
same machinery could not be made
to do duty for both. If the elections
are held upon the same day different
machinery must be provided for each.

weary flesh and bones; not an awak-

HEED THE WARNING.
Many Butler People Have Done SO.


When the. kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days Of suffering may be saved. Sick
kidneys expel dark, ill-smelling
urine full of "brickdust" sediment
and painful in passage. Sluggish
kidneys cause dull pain in the small
of the back, headaches, dizzy spells,
tired, languid feelings and frequent
rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only; they cure sick kidneys,
and rid the blood Of uric poison. If
you suffer from any of the above
symptoms you can use no better rem
edy.
Butler people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills.

A STAVE SILO IN HIS BARN
Experience of Bates County Farmer all
in Favor of Silage.

EApeEicNCe VI OdteS NOuHLy TaIuseI Oil
in Favor of Silage.
Inresponse to your request for pict-
ures of silos and also some experience
feeding silage, l am sending picture
of my barn and will tell something of
my experience.
The silo is in the center of the barn
so it does not show in the picture.
The barn has sixteen sides, twelve
feet to the side, making it 1872 feet
around, 81 feet across and so feet to
the top of the cupalo.
The silo is II feet in diameter and
40 feet high. 1t is a stave silo, one
Of the we'll known makes. 1t has
been in use two years and looks as if
it would last as long as the barn, be-
ing inside it needs no painting, does
not shrink and get loose so badly in
summer, and is in no danger Of blow
ing down when empty. An object
ion has been raised by some writers
to having the silo in the barn on ac-
count of the odor Of silage. fail to
see in my experience any grounds
for the objection.
am glad to see the Ruralist taking
up the subject of the silo, because if
you can influence Missouri farmers
to build silos it will result in great
good. After feeding silage two win
tiers to young cows and young stock,
l am greatly pleased with the re-
suits. My bunch of heifers (sired by
registered dairy bully which am
raising for future milk cows, came
through the winter fat and sleek on
silage and prairie hay. From my ex-
perience Feeding silage to milk cows,
and the herd bull and dry cows and
heifers) have decided that if | were
going to feed beef cattle would have
a silo by all means. 1t seems to me
it is folly for man to try to produce
milk economically in the winter time
in the corn belt without good silage.
The feeder who has never fed ST.
lage will be surprised to see what
saving of hay silo will make. After
cow has eaten bushel basket full
Of silage twice a day she won't have
much room left for hay. A bushel
basket full Of silage weighs about 20
pounds. That is what we feed to
our cows that are giving milk. Dry
COWS and heifers we feed less.
We have never noticed any bad
flavor of either milk or butter since
we have been feeding silage. We
make butter which we sell in our
county seat town at 80 cents pound
the year around. We use cream
separator, large barrel churn, butter
worker and put the butter up in
pound prints wrapped in butter
parchment paper and placed in but,
ter cartons in regular creamery
style. The butter certainly must be
good or we could not hold our trade
and keep adding new customers

SIERRAS POET
SHOWS SLIGHT
IMPROVEMENT
JOAQUIN MILLER Is REPORTED
TO BE RESTING EASY AT
HOSPITAL.

OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 23.-The
condition of Joaquin Miller, who
is i'll at Fabiola hospital, was slight
ly improved yesterday and he pass
ed comfortable night. The COM
ing of his daughter, Juanita Miller,
who arrived from New York last
night, has had some little effect on
bettering his condition, and the
physicians in attendance said that
the poet was in no immediate dan
ger. But because of the nature
of his illness, his age and the gen
eral breakdown of his system, no
hope is held out for his recovery.
Miller has been making a game
fight since he was taken to the
hospital and has rallied at times,
only to suffer reverses, and his con-
dition is not gaining in strength as
rapidly as was hoped. DR.. A. L.
Cunningham, who has been daily in
attendance upon him, and has made
thorough study of his case, thinks
that the odds the poet is fighting
are too hard to overcome.
There is really no perceptible
change" said DR.. Cunningham. "Mr
Miller improves slightly and the1
suffers relapse, and it seems tc
be case of up and down, with
the improved condition of one day
counteracted by a change in the
4 next. | do not think there is an.
immediate danger and the poet ma,
linger for ten days or more, but
don't think he will recover
Il have had many similar cases
and 1 think that Miller is too oil,
man to make a successful fight
There are symptoms of pneumonia
and if these develop the end will

constantly at the sickbed since he

will get well and is thinking {

DR.. Cunningham said that, whi

advise against it, The poet, in b
estimation, requires the very be

In fire which started at an
early hour this morning in the Bel
mont mine, two men were slightly
injured, four overcome with smoke
and five are reported as still be-
ing below the surface of the ground.
The injured men have been removed
to the Miners hospital.
While it is impossible to state
just when the fire started, it is
believed that it was some time
between 2:30 and Z a. M, the
time between the quitting of the
night and the commencing of the
day shifts.
When the day shift reported for
work at a. m. smoke was emit
ting from the main shaft of the
Belmont to such an extent that the
men were not allowed to enter the
workings at that point. but enter
ed the mine through the Desert
Queen shaft. Shortly after s

were perfectly safe. 1t is believed
that all told, in the neighborhood
of fifteen men are still entombed
in the mine. Those known to still
be in the mine are: Frank Burke,
shiftboss, Mike Hannigan, Jack Shea,
Bill Murphy and Thomas Whitley.
Shortly after l p. m. it was re-
ported that Burke and Murphy were
dead. This report, however, was
denied at the mine by the mine
officials, as it was the report of the
idle rumor."
The fire is confined to the tim

who are familiar with the work

1t was reported at the shaft pit
this morning that six men entered

off by timbers and hurled to their
death in the bottom of the 1000

authenticated. A hat covered with
blood in the bottom of the cage
was the only evidence Of any ia
Itality.
The fire, according to the best
information is located at distance
of about 700 feet from the Bel
mont shaft and about 1000 feet
from the Desert Queen shaft. How
ever, huge volumes of smoke are
still pourning out of the Belmont
