An Immense Flower.

The largest of all the flowers of the
world is said to be the Raff1esia, ma
tive of Sumatra, so called after Sir
Stamford Rafiles. This immense flow
er is composed of five round petals
of brickish color, each measuring a
foot across. These are covered with
numerous irregular yellowish white
swellings.
The petals surround a cup nearly a
foot wide, the margin of which bears
the stalens. The cup of the Rafflesia
is filled with fleshy disk, the upper
surface of which is covered with pro
jections like miniature cows horns.
The cup when free from its contents
will hold about twelve pints. The
flower weighs about fifteen pounds
and is very thick, the petals being
three-quarters of an inch Scientific

MEXICO DEMANDS
HIS PUNISHMENT
County Attorney TO Issue Warrants
For All Of Patrolmen Who
Were Present.

Wichita, Kans, Sept 9--Notice was
received here last night that the Mex
lean government, through CONSUL
Dosal at Kansas City has demanded
.of Governor w. R Stubbs. of Kansas.
that the policemen implicated in the
shooting of G. Logobia, Mexican
laborer, in raid on a bunk car here
on the night of August 19, be prose
cuted
This demand has been anticipated
here since the Mexican government
requested a full transcript of all tes-
timony taken in the coroner's verdict.
The testimony taken at that time seem
ed to show unquestlonably that there
was grounds for further investigation.
This shooting occurred about mid
night on the night of August IS dur
ing an alleged gambling raid" in
bunk car occupied by a number of
Mexican laborers on the Missouri Pa
cific tracks here
G. Logobia, an old man, was shot
through the head and mortally wound
ed while asleep in his bunk near one
end of the car. Several bullet holes
were found in the walls of the car and
the evidence seemed to show beyond
question that the shot which killed the
man had been fired by a policeman,
none of the Mexicans being armed.
Officer Metcalf who took part in
the raid, is at present in Nebraska,
where he has just been married
County Attorney McGill has been
awaiting his return to issue warrants
ior all of the officers who took part
n the raid.

tention of the state that il can appoint
special enforcement officers to assist
in putting down the liquor traffic was
given a severe blow by Judge Oldheld
In the superior court here Saturday

only eontiscate liquor that they may
find in alleged bootlegging joints. but
have no legal right to confiscate furn-
iture, furnishings or any other article
of merchandise that may be found in
the place at time of the raid

connection with the action of Judge
0ldfield in granting a temporary in.
junction against w. J. Caudin. state
enforcement officer. and two of his
deputies from further interference
with VIM. c. Leach and his cigar and
pool room in this city. The court or.
dered the enforcement officer to re.
turn all property to Leach they had
contiscated, with the exception of the
liquor, and also to turn the key of his
place over to him.

HORSE GO UP IN BALLOON
Jupiter Makes Ascension And Comes
Down Amid Shower of Fireworks.

The most thrilling and beautiful
spectacle devised by any circus will
be seen in Vinita on September q.
when the Barnum and Bailey circus
comes. The act is presented by Jupi-
ter, the balloon horse" Jupiter is
assuredly an unusual horse. The man
who had the inventive genius to think
OF the act and tc train the animal is
an unusual man. The beautiful young
woman who has the courage to accom-
pany the horse on it's perilous ride is
no small part of the achievement
Jupiter comes majestically into the
arena and mounts the platform. which
takes the place of the usual balloon
basket. There is no railing on the
platform and it is just large enough to
hold the animal. There is no means
of securing the horse to this platform.
The young woman, dressed in white
the color of the horse, takes her place
IN the saddle. Slowly the balloon rises
The courage of the animal and its
nervy rider make a thrilling picture.
The danger involved in the undertak
ing is the uppermost thought in the
minds of the audience. The slightest
nervousness on the part of the horse
means death to it and its rider
When the great gas bag reaches the
extreme peak Of the dome there is the
hiss and sputter of exploding fire
works, The horse, with it's teeth, has
pulled a string operating a battery. |
which ignites a hundred rockets. and
they send forth Niagara of fire stars.
Horse and rider are almost hidden
from view in a veil of flame. The de-
scent is made in lurid cloud of fire
and white smoke. A storm of applause
sreets the spectacle.
Another amazing surprise is the
bicycle and acrobatfc act of Charlie
he First, who though but chimpan-
zee, is the greatest circus performer
n the world. Among other noter per
ormers appearing in America for the
irst time are John Ducander and his

BED0UIN IS SMALL EATER
He Is Active and Martial, Yet He
Subsists Easily on Very
Little Food.

The Bedouins are a most alert and
military race, and yet it is an undoubt-
ed fact that the quantity of food usual
ly consumed by the greater part Of
them does not exceed six ounces q
day. Six or seven dates soaked in
melted butter serve man a whole
day, and he esteems himself happy
when he can add small quantity of
coarse flour or little ball of rice.
In 1879 an Englishman describes the
Russian grenadiers as follows: "They
are the finest body of men l ever saw.
Not man is under six feet high.
Their allowance consists of eight
pounds of black bread. four pounds
Of oil, and one pound of salt per man
for eight days" In 1854, when the
Russians surprised the world by stand
ing against the attack of the Allies,
on the bloody battlefield of Alma,
were found dead Russians with their
provisions in their knapsacks, and
there provisions were BLACK bread
crumbs in oil"
