WASHINGTON PREPARES
 FOR U. (. V. REUNION
Commander in- Chief Harrison Assisting in Arrangements
 Would Limit Distance So that
 Feeble May Traverse Course.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-According to an estimate made by Brig.-Gen. Geo. P. Harrison of Ppehka, Ala, con- mander-in-chief of the United Con- federate Veterans, from four to five thousand Confederate Veterans will attend the next annual encampment to be held in Washington, probably the latter part of May. Wives, wid- ows and daughters and sons will make up host of about 100000.
 Gen. Harrison is here to assist in the arrangements for the encamp- ment. He is the youngest general of the Confederate army and is one of the few of that rank still living. He addressed meeting of United Con- federate Veterans, which, with civic bodies and the civil authorities, will be hosts of the encampment.
 Gen. Harrison expressed his hope that every Confederate Veteran in the United States capable of marching, no matter how short distance, would join the parade, each wearing his uni form of gray. He promised to go himself afoot, so that he could be shoulder to shoulder with those who fought the fight with him so many years ago.
 Every Confederate soldier should have uniform, he urged, and those who have not should find some way to obtain them. If for no other purpose, he said, every Confederate soldier should have his uniform of gray to be buried in.
 The march for the old soldiers would probably be necessary only over a short distance, he observed, to meet the capabilities of the more feeble men who wanted to go the course. They would march alone, so that nothing should detract from their honors. A parade for the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy, he suggested, might be a separate feature of the encampment period.

Austrian Positions at Summit of Pasubio Are StOrmed-ROu-

 at One Point in Pennsylvania.

Rome, Oct. IS. (Via London. -Ita- lian troops on Mount Pasubio, in the Trentino, yesterday broke the last Austro- Hungarian lines of resistance in the region between Cosmagnon and Roite, says the Italian official state ment issued today, and stormed the Austrian lines north of the summit of Pasubio.
 The text of the statement reads:
 "On Mount Pasubio, after Break ing the last resistance in the region between Cosmagnon and Roite, our troops yesterday stormed the enemy lines north of the summit.
 "Following an effective artillery preparation, the strong redoubt which the Austrians had built on a command ing position called the "Toothe of Pasubio,' was carried by assault. Seventy-two prisoners and quantity of arms and ammunition were taken
 1.-Two strong enemy columns, which moved to counter attack, were allowed to advance within few hundred yards of our lines, when they suddenly found themselves under the concen- trated fire of our batteries and were almost destroyed During the night the enemy attempted further attacks, all of which were driven off with heavy losses.
 "Along the remainder of the front only artillery actions took place, enemy batteries firing a few shells on Asiago (Trentino and Gorizia."

roTTON CONTINUES
 THE BIG ADVANCE
c.,,test Activity of Season Orsh' rsshS'own-CIose is 33-42 Points ITTnD-Bullish T Sentiment En-
 Outraged Ur by Firmness Abroad.

, York Oct. 1S.-The cotton
 .,.ot showed greater activity at the m ..oninp today than at any previous s .;me this season, and there was a sen & sstional advance in prices. July con- .~..t, sold at 19 cents on the call, a,h;e before the buying movement .nhsided, January sold at 1S.7sc, or sore than s1O per bale above the low avel low of last week. That delivery .losed at 1S.51c, with the general list closing barely steady at net advance If sS to 42 points for the day.
 There was a rush of general buying st the start, with first prices strong ot an advance of 19 to 56 points. Only during periods of extraordinary ex- element have such spectacular over niCht gains been reported in the his torv of the market and it looked as f the threatening aspects of the gulf storm had brought in many traders who had previously hesitated to follow the advance.
 Bullish sentiment was also encour- aged by the trmness of Liverpool, private reports indicating that very large proportion of the crop had been picked and ginned and rumors of falling off in private ginning returns. Offerings were well absorbed, but the market became moro nervous and un- settled late in the afternoon.
 Reactionary sentiment was promot- ed by report that a scattering long interest had accumulated, while there were reports that the demand from trade sources had fallen off and sell CTS were also talking increased South tm spot offerings. Prices eased in consequence, the close showing reac- tons of some 20 to 27 points from the best. Today's prices were the highest for this season of the year, since the autumn of 1872.
 The market closed barely steady.

No Other Weed Has Ever Received
60 Much Unfavorable Attention.
-Roots, Rather Than Tops,
Must es Destroyed.

In the states north of the Ohio
river. probably no plant bears such a
bad reputation as does the so-called
Canada thistle. This marvelously
prickly plant abounds in grain fields,
pastures, and meadows throughout the
central West, and IL locally common
In the northeastern states. It Is
found In parts of West Virginia, Ken
tucky. and Missouri, and of late years
has been increasingly troublesome in
the grain-growing sections Of the
Northwest. Canada thistle, or simply
thistle" has been condemned in the
laws Of rs states, and at least one
hundred local communities, no other
three plants together having received
% much unfavorable attention. Ger
tainly no plant is more generally and
heartily disliked, unless 1t be the sand
bur Of the southern coastal plain.
The cause Of the remarkable vital
ity Of Canada thistle and the point
that distinguishes 1t from other prick
ly plants that are commonly mistaken
for 1t Is the long cordlike perennial
root. This root penetrates the soil at

cause when 1t is taken into the pigs

says that the correction of these con-

determined that the mucous MEM

sons not sick with the disease may
become contaminated with the virus
and that without falling i'll themselves
they may become carriers of the dis
ease. 1t was found in monkeys that

FEEDING OF M0LTING FOWLS
Material Adaptable for Eggs Will Also
Make Feathers-Some Oily Food
10 Necessary.

The feed of molting hens should not
differ greatly from that Of laying hens.
Both eggs and feathers are rich In
nitrogen, so food adaptable for eggs
will also make feathers. However. the
latter are richer In oil than eggs are,
and some food of oily nature should be
added to this ration to supply this
want
It has been conclusively proved that
a liberal amount Of sundower, flaxseed
or oil meal to the ration makes hens

with his mother, a sister and his fan
Gee. The guard stopped the party and
sternly asked who the women were.
When told he answered.: You can

Mother" When war is in the air hu-

when this is done mother will never

that the young guardsman will make
