Last Relic of the Old West.

Buffalo Bits show has been placed
in the hands of receivers. His In

appear next as actors in moving pict-
ure dramas and his collection of 9th
er rough riders will probably scatter
to the four corners of the world. His
old stage coach should receive an

some reason the last season wasn't
good one for the wild West" Is
it possible that the moving picture
houses are to blame? Are the movie
Indians and cowboys so much like
those in Buffalo Bills show that the
children, young and grown-up, prefer
the movie variety at and 10 cents
admission to the show variety at %
and so? Has the movie made red
men and bad men and the wild and
woolly West, as it used to be, so COM
monplace that 10 cents is the maxi
mum limit anybody cares to pay to
see the old West portrayed?

A WIDESPREAD CAMPAIGN
VOTES FOR WOMEN is TO BE
CRY ALL OVER THE NATION.
Fight to BE Carried Into Every State
Of the Union That Doesn't Now
Have Woman Suffrage.

WASHINGTON.-Plans for a wide
spread campaign for votes for wo-
men, to be carried into all the states
of the union not now having woman
suffrage, will be laid at a conference
of the National Council of Women
Voters here August 10, IA and Is.
Announcement to this effect was
made today at the congressional COM
mittee headquarters of the council.
Delegates to the conference will be
present from Wyoming, Kansas,
Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Washington,
California, Oregon and Arizona, the
states having full and complete wo-
man suffrage. The state of Illinois,
in which women recently won a mod
flied right to the ballot, also may be
granted representation. Ways and
means of bringing influence to bear
locally in the various states still con-
sidered dark territory by the suf-
fragists will be considered at the
conference, which will be executive.
Thirty-eight members of congress
have signified their intention of at
tending the banquet to be given by
the Pilgrim" suffragists who will
storm congress Thursday. A number
of these have promised to deliver
addresses. The pilgrims" are con-
verging on Washington in automo-
biles from all points of the compass,
according to a statement issued today
from the headquarters of the Nation
al American Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation.

GOT JUST KISSES AND BUNS
And Bride Appeals to Judge For the
Real Food. Sister of the Fa-
nous Unkissed Wife.

BALTIMORE.-Kisses and buns
for breakfast, kisses and buns for
luncheon, kisses and buns for dinner.
This has been the daily menu of Mrs.
Rosie Schwanke, of 1856 Cooksie
street, ever since her marriage to
Frederick Schwanke July 7th.
And Mrs. Schwanke is the sister Of
Mrs. Theresa Deems, famous unkiss-
ed wife. But, unlike her sister, Mrs.
Deems, it isn't the kissing part of the
menu that Mrs. Schwanke objects to-
1t is the buns.
The comb ined sweetness has been
too much for her and she wishes to
dispense with the buns. The kisses,
if it is possible, she wants to keep.
To change the monotony of buns
she appealed to Justice Levinson of
the Southern district yesterday.
Frederick, she thinks, should supply
a few more of the staples of life.
Mrs. Theresa Deems, sister of Mrs.
Schwanke, strayed into the limelight
last spring and stayed because of her
assertion that she had never been
kissed by husband or child.

GIRL REEVES IN A COFFIN
Returns to Life While Being Lowered
Into Grave in Response to Her
Mothers SobS.

BOLIVAR, Pa.-As the lid was
about to be placed on the coffin in
which lay the apparently lifeless body
of her three-year-old daughter Mary,
preparatory to lowering it into the
grave, Mrs. Henry Yosterling gave
full vent to her grief. Her sobbing
served to reanimate the supposedly
dead child.
Opening her eyes the little girl
gave a start and began to cough and
choke in an effort to cry.
When the mother saw her child
lived she fell on the coffin in a faint.
Several mourners and the uder-
taker hurriedly removed the child
from the coffin and summoned a doc
tor, who, after making a thorough
examination, said the child had been
a sufferer in a remarkable case of
suspended animation.
When revived from her fainting
spell Mrs. Yosterling said the child
was pronounced dead yesterday after
short illness by her family physi-
clan. She had, however, refused to
allow the body to be embalmed, sub
hitting rather to an early burial.

WENT FISHING WITH SPOON
Rise of a Wisconsin River Filled an
Ex-COngressman's Yard With In
habitants of the Deep.

MENESHA, Wis.-Former Con-
gresham S. A. Cook yawned twice,
stretched himself and guessed that
he'd go fishing. Whereupon he am
bled into the kitchen of his home in
this city, removed from the cabinet
the cooks second best soup ladle and
went into the back yard.
The recent rise in the Fox river,
which flows close to the Cook resi-
dence. flooded the grounds about the
home with several feet of water. The
sudden falling of the river left
thousand fish suffocating to death
about the steps to the kitchen porch.
The ex-congressman found that he
was not the only backyard fisher
man. Twenty men and boys balanced
themselves languidly on the sur
rounding fence and dangled hooks
baited with angle worms about the
noses of the expiring bass. A garden
hose had been trained over the moist
ground and there was an occasional
fortunate fish that could bury its fms
in a puddle.
This sign was posted on the fence
later in the day.
Fishing in this yard only by per-
mission of Cook"

MULES MANNED FOR LIFE
TENTH ANIMAL Is THE VICTIM
OF VANDALS AT VALDOSTA.
Knife or Sharp Instrument Thrust
Into Shoulder Blades of Mules
By Brutal MiSCreant.

VALDOSTA.-T'he unknown van
dial who for several months has
MANNED at intervals a number of fine
mules and horses in this city has be-
gun operations again.
Another of the city's big mules
vas found in its stall yesterday
morning wounded exactly as a num-
bel Of others lave been. In all ten
mules belonging to the city have been
MANNED, four of them dying and the
others being ruined for life. All of
them were wounded by having a
knife or sharp instrument thrust in
to their shoulder joint at a certain
point.
The instrument sewers certain liga-
ments in the joint, causing the death
of the animal in some cases and rem
dering it valueless if it lives. The
wounds have all been as delicate as a
surgeons operation and were evil
IDENTIFY inflicted by some one thor
oughly acquainted with the horse S
anatomy The police force and city
authorities are puzzled and are at
their wits end in the efforts to catch
the vandal. The mules have been
watched night after night and detect
ives have spent a long while in the
effort to nab the man who does the
manning, but without results.
1t is believed that some enemy of
the city is taking this despicable
method of satisfying himself. The
city is already out about 81, 900 and
stands to lose a great deal more on
the wounded animals which have not
died.

WILL MAKE CATTLE SLEEP
RUSSIAN HAS SUBSTANCE THAT
SUSPENDS ANIMATION.
Can Put Entire Herd Under Its Inhu-
cnce, and Save Cost of Shelter and
Food During All of Winter.

ST. PETERSBURG.-Prof. Bakh-
metieff of Moscow says he has dis
covered a substance he calls "anabi-
ose" by which he can place animals
in a state of suspended animation for
months and then bring them back to
full life in good condition.
He has been specialist in the
study of Information and the results
of cold upon animals, particularly
bears, and his discoveries are in this
field.
He has advanced to a point, he
says, where he can place an entire
herd of cattle in a state of suspend
ed animation during the severe Rus
sian winter, thereby saving the cost
of fodder, shelter and attendance,
and revive them in the spring.
The treatment, which Professor
Bakhmetieff has applied successfully
to several different kinds of animals,
reduces them to total unconscious
ness; respiration and digestion cease
completely.
They are kept for months at uni
form temperature, regulated by a
thermostate, and, when they are
brought into light, humidity and
warmth, they recover consciousness,
apparently not weakened by their ex-
perience.
Recently he brought back to life a
large sturgeon which he had kept I'M
der "anabiose" since winter without
any kind of nourishment. 1t was
perfectly healthy, with the roe in
fine condition, which would not be
the case with a fish kept frozen.

GREAT SILK STRIKE OVER
Loss in Wages to Employees Has Been
Nearly $6,OOO,0OO. Twenty-One
Small Plants Went to Wall.

PATTERSON, \. 1.-THE big silk
strike is over, but not all the en-
ployes who left the mills 81 weeks
ago were able to find work today.
The manufacturers said they had all
the hands they could use until they
received orders pending the settle
ment of the labor troubles.
The central strike committee of
the Industrial Workers of the World
has been delegated to make official
declaration of the end of the strike.
1t is estimated that the strike cost
the employees s5,800.0OO in lost
wages. The manufacturers lost heir
spring and summer orders and 81
small plants went to the wall.

HAS CATS ON HIS PAY ROLL
UNCLE SAM GIVES EMPLOYMENT
TO NUMEROUS FELINES.
Kitty's Political Ideas Do Not Affect
Her Job When There Is New
Deal in Administrations.

Yes, the cat now draws regular
pay from the government. Some
cats get an annual pay envelope of
$685.. And, even at the present
high cost of housing, that is very
respectable salary for any feline SER
vitor of Uncle Sam Nor do Kitty's
political ideas affect her job when
there's a new deal in admininstra-
tons. Many, by the way, are soldier
cats.
The government maintains and
provides for numerous cats, says the
Chicago Tribune. The army has its
regular corps of them, kept at the
commissary depots of the great cities,
and each draws regular pay equal to
$1S.25 a year.
1t is customary for the officer in
charge of each depot to submit to the
war department a request for an al
lowance for so many cats, and the
regulations provide that meat shall
be purchased for them at price not
greater than five cents pound; to
these rations a stated amount of can
ned milk is added for variety.
It has been proved by experiment.
that no matter how good the cats are
as hunters, nor how abundant the
mice, no cat thrives properly on a
diet of unmitigated mouse; nor does
it neglect its duties when other food
is provided, Bids for the cats meat
are regularly posted, calling for
fresh beef suitable for feeding cats

cred at the contractors place of bus

mated and in such quantities as may

More than 400 cats are in the en-
ploy of the postoff1ce department.
distributed among about fifty of the
largest offices. The New York office
expends something like $50 annually
for cats meat.
Most OF the other large govern
mental buildings are supplied with
cats. At an immense cold storage
depot established at Manila some
time ago cats have been found to be
necessary, and there were sent there
some of the famous cold storage
breed from Pittsburg. This breed
originated in the great warehouses of
cold storage company and has de-
Veloped special qualifications for en-
during extreme cold. The cold stor-
age cats are short tailed, chubby
with long and heavy fur, and their
eyebrows and whiskers are extraordi-
narily long and strong. It is said
that they do not thrive when trans
ferred to an ordinary temperature

CRISP GIVES ANOTHER PLUM
Leonard Parker of Americas One of
Ten Navy Appointments at Dis
posal of the White House.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT G
K. Crisp of Georgia today received .
letter from President Wilson appris-
ing him of the presidents intention
OF giving one of his ten naval an
polntments to Leonard Parker of
Americas, son of E. C. Parker. a well
known warehouseman and grandson
of NJ B. Council.
Leonard Parker will thus, it is
said here, be the first Georgia bow TO

Annapolis. In his letter to Congress-
man Crisp, the vein of which the con
gresham characterized as mighty
nice the president said that the
navy department had already been
informed of the selection of young
Parker and that the young man
would have to stand his examination

The redistrictation of Georgia gave
Congressman Crisp several new coun-
ties which had been in the old Sec
ond and Third and the naval appoint
ments which would have fallen to his
lot had already been filled by Con-
gresham Roddenbery. Each con-
gresham is entitled to TWO naval ap-
pointments every four years.

81 COWS DEAD AND 80 SICK
DIPPING FOR TICK WAS COSTLY
TO DECATUR COUNTY FARMER.
Followed One Bath of His Cattle in
the Vat Too Quick With. Another.
Heavy Loss the Result.

Mr.. Ed Spooner, who lives some
two miles north of town made an ex-
pensive experiment with his cattle
recently. They were being troubled
with ticks, and he arranged a vat for
dipping them in a solution contain
ing arsenic. Thirty cows were dipped
at the first performance, and while
many of the ticks were killed it was
noticed that some remained on the
cows after dipping. Desiring to make
a thorough work of exterminting the
tick an additional amount of arsenic
was used in the next application and
the cattle already dipped once were
redipped, together with thirty-odd
more. The last solution proved too
strong and the second application en-
tirely too much. 1t is reported that
all the cows that received the second
application are dead and those receiv-
ing only the one application of the
strong solution are so sick as to leave
little hope of their recovery.
Mr.. Spooner believes the remedy
for the cattletick is not at fault, but
that the trouble comes from dipping
he second time too early after the
first, which should not be under ten
days. He made the second dipping
the day following the first The cat
tie that received one application and
are sick would have been all right,
Mr.. Spooner thinks, if he had made
the solution no stronger of arsenic
than the prescription directed.-Don-
