WAKE Up THE OLD TOWN
Knights Templars and NIarshalPs Band
Spend Sunday in OskaIoosa.

Topeka's knights Templars and
Marshall's band went to Oskaloosa
yesterday and shocked the residents
pleasantly. According to the oldest in
habitants, and there is a large num-
Der of them, a Sunday band concert
had never been staged on the historic
Jefferson county court house square
before in it's history.
Yet, Oskaloosa apparently enjoyed
being naughty the entire popula-
ton, a large percentage of it, seated
in Fords backed up gainst the square
listened to a two hours concert and
watched an hours drill by Topeka's
knights. Many from Winchester were
present and few from Valley Falls
forgot the old court house feud long
enough to participate in the Sunday
celebration which had every appear
ance of big, country picnic.
Topeka Commandery No. 8, and Mar
shall's band, lis in all, left on a spec
ial train at $3.50 o'clock A chicken
dinner, served by the jefferson county
women, was enjoyed following an
Easter service in the Presbyterian
church. Then, the band gave a con-
cert on the court house square and the
plumed knights delighted the popula-
ton with a protracted drill in the dus-
ty streets.
The court house at Oskaloosa is the
oldest in the state, many declare, and
while the citizens of Oskaloosa admit
that county as wealthy as Jefferson
can afford a better court house they
are 10th to stir up the question. A
county seat fight has been in progress
for years and the minute new court
house is mentioned Valley Falls steps
forward and demands that it be built
there.
Years ago the county seat was at
Osawkie and one night Oskaloosa
residents went down there, grabbed
the records, returned to Oskaloosa and
established the county seat. In 1867,
a court house which is still standing,
was erected at Oskaloosa.
On their return at o'clock the
knights marched up Kansas avenue
preceded by Marshalls band.

Columbus, N. M, April 24.-Ex-
traordinary precautions are being TAX
en- by the army medical corps at the
military base here and in the field to
insure against the appearance of the
dread typhus and typhoid fever among
American troops.
Suggestion has been made to the
soldiers that they have their hair
clipped close or their heads shaved to
avoid vernin.
Nearly one hundrsd recruits brought
from Columbus, Ohio, barracks will
be innoculated with the typhoid serum
before they are sent to the interior
OF the ten thousand men in the
field, only 225 have been invaded be-
cause of illness or injury. For the
most part they are suffering from
some minor illness or injury, such as
would result in time of peace
Considering the hardships under
gone by the soldiers this record is
considered unusual.
Two hospital wards have been erect
ed at the military base here.

troubles, from head colds, catarrh or
asthmatic troubles, down to sore
throat, bronchitis, deep chest colds, or
incipient pneumonia. It is particu-

FIRE AT WASHINGTON
General Office of Southern Railroad
Burned: Valuable Papers Destroyed.

Washington, April 24.-Fire of IN
known origin partially destroyed the
general office building of the South =
err railroad here Sunday night. 1t
started on the third floor and had
swept the three stories to the roof be-
fore it was discovered. Three tele-
graph operators and a Waterman, the
only persons in the building at the
time, escaped unhurt. At midnight
the fire still burned in the ruins and
was threatening to spread to adjoin-
ing structures, including a large steel
and brick annex to the Southern Of
fees just nearing completion.
Invaluable records and papers were
in the building and it is feared that
most of them were destroyed. The
loss of the building itself is estimated
at approximately 100000.

MAYOR A SUICIDE
Mexican Village Executive
Stays Self While q. S. Hostage.
Column of Infantry Into Mexico
Led by Military Band.

Columbus, n. M, April PA story
of the suicide of the mayor of a Mex
lean village who chose death in
preference to living as an American
hostage was brought here today by
an American returning from a bust
ness trip in Mexico. The story was
verified, he said. by several expedition
airy officers who regarded the attitude
of the Mexicans as typical of that of
some more ignorant poems.
The Mexican head of a squalid
adobe village along the American line
of communication together with an
other native was taken prisoner by
American cavalrymen, according to
the story, after snipers who have
menaced American columns had been
traced to the village.
Given an army mess kit at meal
time the president seized a small sharp
knife and bearing his breast folded his
arms and pressed the knife under
meath him into his heart before his
guards could stop him. Meanwhile
the other hostage attempted to escape
and was fatally wounded
The ranchman said Major General
Frank Tompkins, who suffered flesh
wound at Parral. is rapidly recovering,
as is Lieut.. James Ord, VIII was shot
through the left ear
The expediIonary force was further
strengthened by the dispatch of a
column of infantry. A band, the first
to enter Mexico from the expedition
airy forces, played march songs from
the head of a column nearly a mile
Il ng, as it crossed the border. I'm
officially 1t was learned that part of
the detachment at least is bound for
an advanced port along the American
line

BURIED TANKS MYSTERY
Dire Plot Scented-SOldiers Dig Up
Only Hoarded Gasoline Supply.

Athens, Greece, April 24.-With
gasoline worth its weight in gold, this
story of what a Greek dealer did with
1000 gallons of the priceless juice, is
of interest to American automobile
owners.
A squad of French soldiers with
shovels, guided by an excited secret
service man, dug violently in a field in
the outskirts of Saloniki last night I'M
til their shovels rang upon huge steel
tanks. The thing had all the ear
marks of a submarine plot; the buried
treasure consisted of 1000 gallons of
gasoline
Later in the evening an excited oil
dealer of unquestioned standing and
much wealth rushed into headquar-
tiers and informed Captain Matthew of
General SarraiIs staff that he owned
the gasoline and had buried it to save
it from a Zeppelin bomb.
The military authorities permitted
him to cover the tanks again.

OVER EATING KILLS CHICKS.
Incubator Product Requires Warmth
and Careful Feeding.

Manhattan, Kan, April 24.-Plenty
of fresh air and an unlimited amount
of exercise with tho application of a
little common sense will do much to
overcome the prejudice against the in
cubator chick. declares N. L. Harris,
superintendent of the poultry plant in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
The tendency to consume large
quantities of food is probably the
cause of the death of more incubator
chicks than any 'ther one cause.
When first Matched they possess raw
enous appetites and a faculty for eat
ing everything that is injurious. In
the natural state they discover their
feed frequently but in small quantities.
Another cause of disappointment
and disaster is a lack of sufficient
warmth. points out Mr.. Harris. The
yolk of the egg which is natures
method of supplying the newly hatch
ed chick with nourishment is absorbed
slowly during the first few days OF
life. If for any reason the chick be-
comes chilled this process of absorb
ton is checked and the yolk sours,
causing a condition very similar to
white diarrhea.

Results of Test Made Last Winter By
Springfield People Now
Announced.

In the South, everyone uses Vick's
Vap-O-Rab Salve, the external treat
ment for all forms of cold troubles,
but it was introduced in Springfield,
Mo-, for the first time, last winter.
Naturally, the local druggists were
skeptical, they had to be shown" that
Vick's Vap-O-Rub really would relieve
most cases of Group in fifteen minutes,
and colds over night. So arrange
ments were made for each druggist to
present complimentary jars of Vap-O-
Rub to a few OF his customers, on con-
dition that they give it a thorough
trial. Among the customers of the
J. W. Crank Drug Company were Mr..
John Turner, 1901 N. Campbell St,
Mrs. Bert Hume, 1926 Howard St. and
Mrs. Hattie Gibbons, 822 W. Division
st. Their reports are as follows
