CHAPTER VII.
Miss Ia Rue Pays q Call.

Some slight noise caused Westcott
to straighten up, and turn partially
around. He had barely time to fling
up one arm In the warding off Of a
blow. The next instant was n Of
mad, desperate struggle, In which he
realized only that he dare not relax
his grip on the wrist Of his unknown
antagonist. It was a fierce, intense
grapple, every muscle strained to the
utmost, silent except for the stamping
Of feet, deadly In purpose.
Twice Westcott drove his clenched
right into the Swallowed face, smash
ing II the last time so hard the mans
grip relaxed. and ne went staggering
back. With n leap forward, the bat
tie fury on him, Westcott closed be-
fore the other could regain position.
Again the clenched fist struck and the
fellow went down in the darkness,
whirling backward to the earth-and
lay there, m~otionless.
An instant, painting, breathless,
scarcely yet comprehending what had
OCCuTTtu, the NlClUT stared at the
huddled figure, his arm drawn back.
Then he became aware of excitement
within, the sound Of voices, the tramp
of feet on the floor, the sudden open
ing Of a door. A CLEAN OF light shot
out, revealing the figures Of men.
With one spring he was across the
shapeless form on the ground, and
had vanished into the darkness be-
yond.
Lacy was first to reach the uncon-
scious body, stumbling over it In the
black shadow, as he rushed forward,
revolver In hand. he cursed, rising to
his knees, and staring about In the
silent darkness.
"There's a man lying here-dead,
likely. Bring a light. No, the fellow
is alive. Dammit, it's Moore. Here
you-what ~happenedp
The fellow %groaned, opened his eyes,
and looked about dazedly.
"There-there was a fellow at that
window there. II saw him from be-

PRESENT METHOD EFFECTIVE

"The present method of handling
interstate shipments Of hogs has
proved quite effective in regard to
preventing the spread of hog cholera"
says DR.. r. J. w. Briggs, formerly
United States inspector in charge ot
hog cholera work at State college.
In checking up on the results of the
past season in the state of South Da-
kota, the following data was secured:
Total number of hogs shipped, 7,441;
IS; number of cars no loss, SO; aver
age loss, 6.38 per cent. Cause of
death as reported by owner or con-
sulting veterinarian: Necrotic enter
raghic Sept, 60; cholera, AZ; enter
tits new corn), As; castration, Is; in
lection, point of injection, 70; un-
known, /.
After trying out several methods
Of handling interstate shipments OF
hogs to guard against the spread of
hog cholera, the bureau of animal in
dustry, in co operation with the df-
ferent state sanitary boards, adopted
the present method of minimizing,
with the serum and virus treatment
at the point of origin, shipping in
clean and disinfected cars and load
UP to the present time this method
has proven the safest and no known
outbreaks have been found that could
be attributed to these shipments. With
proper care, judgment in feeding and
sanitary precautions observed
this loss could have been materially
reduced.

Silver may be cleaned by the use
of certain powders, pastes, and cloths,
which clean by friction, by boiling it
in a strong alkaline solution, or by
a process known as el~ectrolysis.
The materials which clean by fric-
ton are fine whiting, jewelers. rouge.
and commercial pastes or powders.
The non-commercial powders are
mixed to a paste with water, ammonia,
or alcohol, rubbed on the silver, al
lowed to dry, and then polished off
with a soft cloth, chamois or a brush.
The alkaline solution for cleaning
silver is made by d~issolving four tea
spoons borax, three teaspoons wash
ing soda, or two teaspoons I've (caus-
tic soda) in one quart water. The
silver is placed in an old kettle or
pan, covered with this solution, boiled
for ten minutes, and cooled in the
water.
One method of removing the tarnish
from silver by electrolysis is the fol.
lowing:
Fill an enameled or agateware kettle
partly full of water in which has been
dissolved one teaspoon of either wash
ing soda or baking soda and one tea
spoon salt to each quart OF water.
Heat this solution to the boiling
point. p,'t IL strips OF aluminium or

should be removed from the kettle,
washed, and dried with a clean, soft
cloth. All aluminium kettle may be
used, but it soon corrodes and must
lie cleaned, as only a clean, bright
kettle serves the purpose. The zinc

tive. 1t may be cleaned, however, in

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.

We urge such amendments OF
laws, both State and Federal, as
will restore to farmers the clear
right of collectively marketing their
products, in accordance with the
principles of Capper-Hersman bill
now pending in Congress.
COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAIN
ING.
We are opposed to compulsory
military training and large stand
ing army in time of peace.
DAYLIGHT SAVING.
We commend the act of Congress
in repeating the so-called Daylight
Saving Law, and oppose any action
to revive such legislation by federal
state or municipal action.
APPRECIATION OF COUNTRY
This is the best country the sun

wrong with it. A
people who would not appreciate
and defend it would be unworthy to
exist as nation. A man who would
injure or destroy it is unfit to live

The Government ownership Or
continued operation of railroads is
most emphatically opposed. 1t is
against good public policy and the
principle of sound Americanism
We are convinced that any possible
emergency. calling for any such
operation has passed; that its con-
advisable, We urge Congress to ex-
pedite legislation providing for
the proper reorganization, re-equip-
ment and control of the railroads
under private ownership, that this
Legislation be as plain as possible,
and providing as few restrictions
and complications as will properly
protect the superior interests of the
public. We are opposed to a govern
ment guaranty of dividends, or a
Government subsidy.
BASIC PRINCIPLES UNCHANGED
The frequent assertion that 1.-THE
omics and industrial changes, and
that we are born into a new world"
is without foundation The same
principles of right and wrong, the
same social standards and economic
laws, will continue to prevail We
are not being ushered into any new
era, wherein the right of the in
utViuudi, VI HIS ODllSaCiUu TO society,
are changed.
GOVERNMENT ECONOMY.
Strict economy in public expendi-
lures for all departments of govern
ment is essential, as is the elimina-
ton of such customs in the transac-
ton of publ affairs as all expense
and delay in rendering efficient ser
vice. and the discontinuance of all
departments and the dismissal of ali
employees not rendering such SER
vice.

 WAS HER LIVER
Before Taking Black -Draught Missouri Lady Was TrOu- bled With Constipation,
 Headache and Bad
 Taste in Mouth

Grandin, Mo.-Mrs. Suso Brooks, of this place, writes: "Some time ago was in bad fix, with stomach and liver trouble I did not feel good at any time. l was very constipated, and had headaches from this condition, and had continual hurting in my stomach, and bad taste in the mouth. Could tell my liver was all wrong.
 q had known of Black Draught, so decided to try it myself began with large dose or doses, gradually getting to smaller doses. It regu- lated my bowels, relieved me of the hurting in my stomach, cleaned off my liver and made me feel like a new person."
 If you get up in the morning feel ingNas tired as you did when you went to bed-achy, coated tongue, bad taste in mouth, sallow complexion then your liver has not done its full duty, and your system has absorbed the poisons which your liver should have taken away.
 An occasional dose of Thedford's s Black Draught will help this impor- tant organ to function properly.

Actress to Fly
 to Fill Part
 on OrpheO Bill

Combining rare skill and pluck with their psychic tendencies, "Fres colt" known as "the master mind" and Hope Eden, the Miracle Girl. conceded to be the youngest mind readers in the world. will fly to their engagement in this city at the Orpheo theatre Monday morning ar irving about 11:00 o'clock.
 Miss Eden, who is 20 years of age. has baffled the leading scientists of the world for the past two years, due to her remarkable demonstrations in though transference, under the strictest test conditions. Recently Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschburg, aft ler witnessing her demonstrations, gave forth the statement that, although only 20, Miss Eden's brain capacity was that of person twice her age.
 With the opening of her theatrical season, Miss Eden attracted nation wide attention with her announce ment that she would make her jumps via airplane, instead of the custom arv and tiresome train rides.
 Several days before her opening date at Syracuse, N. Y, Miss Eden made several flights with Roland Rohlfs, holder of the high altitude record On one of these occasions when various motion r'2ture camera men were on hand. Miss Eden reached 15,00o feet with Rholfs, which is rather remarkable for a girl of her age and experience in the air.
 During her engagement in this city Miss Eden, who has never visited Pine Bluff before will make a toul of the municipal and newspaper of fees for the purpose of giving pri- vate demonstrations and will also meet the women of tine city after l several of her performances to an swer questions of a serious or deli cate nature in strict privavy whicf i could not be answered otherwise.
