ton conducted here by United States
Senators Gore and Kenyon, who are
seeking to trace the origin of the cpl
demic of foot and mouth disease
which last autumn spread through a
large part of the country, developed
little new information. The disease
was first discovered on the farm of
w. f. Hoadley, near this city. Hoad-
ley, who was the principal witness at
the hearing, said the first evidence of

sickness was not foot and mouth dis

the animal industry bureau at Wash

established the nature. of the disease,

PUT TO FLIGHT
A Negro keg Party Dispersed
by the Police.
Chief Parsons Men Gather Up
Two Bushels of Hats.

A large sized beer party was dis
turbed by Chief Parsons and two of
his men at midnight Saturday. About
eighteen or twenty colored men and
women, with an old crippled fiddler.
were enjoying the cooling beverage at
a house southeast of the city. Some
colored person, who evidently was not
in on the good time, phoned Chief
Parsons about the party.
When the police auto came chus-
ging up a long hill near the locality,
lookout was discovered. The col
ored man who had that important post
started running toward the house but
Parsons headed him off The look
OUT then ran into a wire fence which
broke with sound similar to the
twang of violin string.
Having successfully Narded off u
warning of their approach, the chief
marShaled his forces in manner to
try and outflank the unseen enemy.
His right wing penetrated the land
scape to the south side of the house
and his left wing by forced marches
through the thickets and grain fields,
reached the west side of the battle
ments, while the chief bravely collect
ed himself together to watch the east
side of the establishment. Owing to
a lack of re-enforcements, the north
side, on the side of a hill, was unfor-
tunately unmatched.
Suddenly the chief and his men
made a loud noise that startled the
cOlored people. Like the six Hun
dred" they were surrounded on three
sides. But being daring warriors, they
all scrambled out of a small window.
twelve feet from the ground. They
flew out like a flock of chickens who
have been cooped up for a long time.
One woman tried to climb over the
embankment with a can of beer in her
hand and fell. splitting herself and the
beer. The retreat was swift and not
in military order.
Entering the house. the chief dis

man with a guitar, in his efforts TO
escape stepped into his instrument de-
molishing the same. Parsons, findinA;
no evidence that beer had been sold,
patted the trembling old negro on his
head and did not arrest him. In the
meantime, the soldiery of the chief
had collected about two bushels of hats
beneath the window where the escape
had been made.
Then the men entered the ''tin liz
zie'' again and started homeward. But
on top of the hill, peerins out through
the bushes, were the white, startled
eyeba1ls of the disconnected and rout-
ed colored folks. 1t is reported that
one of them ran so hard that he found
himself near the Usage county line be-
fore he stopped.

DON'T WASH YOUR s51-'''
- HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much all<ali,
which is very injurious, as it 6fies
the scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut Gil. for this is
pure and entirely greaselesS. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces You can
get this at any drug store, and IL
few ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy Iather, cleanses thoroughly.
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is.

not far distant when jails and prisons

Wars and Otter Disasters.

1t is popularity supposed that the
rayagcs Of war are the most fatal of
the mishaps that can happen to the
human race, but cold figures show
that the deaths resulting from war
are insignificant when compared with
the results Of earthquakes and tidal
waves, and that these, as terrible as
they may appear, 50 to speak, cause
but mere ripple over the mighty
population OF the world. This is
shown by the following figures taken
from an article in the special war
issue Of the Scientific American of
November 7:
Terrible as are ravages of war,
they are far surpassed by some other
disasters which from time TO time
oyerwhelm the human race. The
Franco Prussian war killed about
10000 in seven month The death
roll Of the Rasso-Japanese reached
about 200 900. single earthquake
in 1872 N India has been estimated to
have caused 100000 deaths. The
fatalities Of the Messina earthquake
in 1903 cannot have been far short
of 100000 A tidal wave in 1896
drowned $4,000 persons in Japan, caus-
ing a greater loss of life than the
whole war with China in 1894. The
earthquake in Japan in 1903 is said
to have killed 100000 people. The
Liabos earthquake in 1855 destroyed
10000 human lives while 10000 were
lost in the same year i'll earthquakes
in Persia.
Terrible as such disasters are, they
pass over the multitude5 of the hui
man population Of our globe as the
merest rlpples on mighty sea. The
total population of the earth is some
where about 1900 millions. Annual
ly there are added to it IA million
souls. Every year at least 80 mil
lions are born and 60 to 20 millions
die. This means daily birth rate
of about 100000, a death rate of
10000. The daily increase in popu-
alton is 100000 In comparison with
this irresistible swelling tide, what
are the greatest battles, wars or
earthquakes, but almost microscopic
ripples? If we imagine that the
power were given to some dcspot to
order q wholesale slaughter, and that
guillotnes were kept busy beheading
one mar every minute, night and day,
this would add only three-Quarters
of one per cent to the existing death
rate!
