Kansas City, May 15. A series of
tornadoes in Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma late yesterday .tilled at least
live persons, injured 55, laid waste one
town, wrecked a train and did great
damage to property.
Twenty-five persons were injured by
a storm that swept over Mount Wash
ington and Fairmont park, suburbs of
Kansas City. At least two of these
are thought to be fatally injured.
The town of Hollis, Kan., near Con'
cordia, was swept away. Here three
were killed and 10 inj'ured.
Near Great Bend a tornado killed
two and injured 20.
All wires are down in that vicinity,
and it is feared the death list may be
greater.
William Ackerly, a Santa Fe engi
neer, and f rank Nicholson, a conduc
tor, were killed while with a bridge
gang between Great Bend and Kinsley,
The tornado wrecked the work train
of which Ackerly was engineer, and
blew it into a ditch. Several members
of the crew were blown 100 feet. The
piledriver toppled over, crushing Ack
erly to death in his cab, where he re
mair.ed with his hand upon the throttle,
At Hoisington, Kan., a tornado in
jured a number and greatly damaged
farm property. It was not so severe,
however, as that passing over other
portions of the state.
At Pond creek, Okla., a severe wind
storm slightly injured four persons and
unroofed several houses.
A blinding rain and hailstorm accom
panied the wind in all states. Many
washouts demoralized railroad traffic,
The Missouri Pacific main line was
washed out near Walcott, between
Leavenworth and Kansas City. The
Burlington and Santa Fe were forced
to annul some of their trains Elec
trical disturbances crippled telegraph
and telephone wires, andj on this ac
count only meager reports from the
storm-swept area could be obtained,
A heavy wind, accompanied by rain
and hail, prevailed throughout Kansas
City. Much minor damage was done,
and traffic of all kinds seriously inter
fered with.
Interstate Commerce Commission Al
lows Protest to Stand.
Washington, May 14. Because it is
2,300 miles from St. Paul to Spokane
over the Harriman railway system and
only 1,900 miles over the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific, the Inter
state ' Commerce commission today
modified its recent decision in the Spo
kane rate case, exempting the Harri
man roads from adoption of the rates
fixed by that decision as to St Paul
traffic. This decision was made possi
ble only by the fact that no direct line
from St Paul to Omaha was a party to
the Spokane case.
The commission, however, is unwil
ling at this time to grant similar ex
emption to the Harriman system on
freight from Chicago to Spokane, be
cause the Northwestern and Burling
ton roads, which connect with the
Union Pacific system at Omaha, were
parties to that case. However, the
commission temporarily postpones its
order as to Chicago-Spokane rates over
the Union Pacific, giving the Harriman
roads opportunity to establish new
rates from Chicago to all territory be
tween Pendleton and Spokane.
California Enters Protest.
San Francisco, May 14. Believing
that the reduction of freight rates to
inland distributing points ordered re
cently by the Hill and Harriman lines,
in accordance with the decision of the
Interstate Commerce commission in
the so-called Spokane case, will seri
ously injure Pacific coast cities to
which no corresponding reduction has
been made, William R. Wheeler, traffic
manager of the Merchants' exchange,
wired to the commissioners today ask
ing for a stay in their approval of the
proposed rates - until the coast cities
have had an opportunity to show the
injustice of the new tariff.

2,000,000 Acres for
ment In Reservations.
Settle-
Missoula, Mont., May 15. Under a
Washington date line, the Missoulian
this morning prints the following :
At a conference held today by om
cials of the general land office, the fol
lowing tentative scheme was decided
upon for the registration and opening
of the Flathead reservation, in Mon
tana, Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, and the
Colville in Washington. The Flathead
reservation contains about 2,200,000
acres, the Coeur d Alene about 400,000
and the Colville about 400,000. All
three reservations will be ready for
opening this summer, and all three of
them will be opened at the same time,
Registration points will only be estab
lished at towns where there is a United
States land office, and all registration
points will be for all three of the reser
vations. The registration points will
be Missoula, Kalispell, Coeur d'Alene
and Spokane.
The registration period will probably
begin July 10 and end .on August 15,
thus giving five weeks' opportunity for
all persons to go to one of the places
above designated to register. At the
close of registration, August 15, the
drawing for numbers will take plcae
for all three of the reservations at
Coeur d'Alene City. The drawing is
an unimportant item in the general
plan and will ocupy only one or two
days.
Beat Boy Black and Blue.
Des Moines, May 15. Miss Maude
Wing and Miss Ida May Tilden,' teach
ers in the Longfellow school here, were
arrested yesterday charged with hav
ing beaten 9-year-old David Kaplan
until he was black and blue. Tonight
at a hearing before Police Judge Stew
art the teachers pleaded not guilty.
Their trial was set for May 22. The
teachers accused the boy of stealing a
$5 bill from Miss Tilden. When he
denied the charge, he says, they laid
him over a chair and beat him with
switches and pinched him.
Ecuador Has Temblors.
Guayaquil, Ecuador, May 15. Ecua
dor has been experiencing earthquakes
during the last fortnight. Telegrams
from J lpija, in the province of Manabi,
announce that shocks have been expert
enced there since the first of the month,
becoming more severe in the last few
days. A dispatch from Quito says
quakea were experienced there yester
day and that the local seismograph re
corded on Wednesday strong shocks
somewhere in the West Indies.
Record Price for Wool.
Miles City, Mont., May 15. A sale
of a large wool clip has been effected
here for the highest price yet heard of
this season, namely, 24 cents. The
wool was the property of H. B. Wiley,
cashier of the First National bank of
this city, and went to a Boston bouse.
French Deputies Show Confidence
Government.
Paris, May 14. A turbulent session
of the chamber of depuies today result
ed in a . victory for Premier Clemen-
ceau, when the government's policy
with regard to the postal strike was
emphatically indorsed by a vote of 454
to 69, including also the government's
insistence that the postal employes and
other functionaries have no right to
strike.
Immediately afterward the chamber
ed a vote of general confidence in
the government by S65 to 75.
The strikers received the chamber s
rebuke with a shrug of the shoulders,
declaring it only served to bind closer
their forces, which would soon startle
the country by a big increase and a
rapid extension of the general move
ment. On the other hand, it is inti
mated that the government has other
plans in view.
Up to midnight there waa no change
in the situation. If anything it was
in the direction of a weakening of the
strike sentiment. The general con
viction is that if the movement does
not make vast strides tomorrow it is
almost certain of complete failure.
FEWER RAILROAD ACCIDENTS
Save the Babies.
NPAUT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of
all the children horn in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or moro
than one-third, before they are five, and onehalf before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Oastoria would save a ma
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sod for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons.' In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. E Eetcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.

heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most delicate of children."
Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Tour Castoria is an ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria Is an
exception for conditions which arise in the care of children."
Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Tour Castoria holds the
esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie
tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil
dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments."
Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for Infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency
and merits."
Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best
preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef
fective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such,
a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

Year 1908 Was 40 Per Cent Safer
Than Was 1907.
Chicago, May 14. Not since the
business prostration of 1895 and 1896
has travel on 'American railroads been
so safe as it was during 1908. In a
pamphlet issued by the bureau of rail
way news and statistics, it is stated
that there were 1,932 fewer fatalities
to passengers and employes in railway
accidents during 1908 than there were
during 1907, which is a decrease of ap
proximately 40 per cent. The greatest
decrease was in fatalities resulting
from train accidents, and the following
conclusion is drawn :
"All things considered, the conclu
sion is unavoidable that the diminution
in fatalities was due almost entirely to
the recession in freight traffic, which
took the strain off every department of
service and substituted an orderly ob
servance of rules by passengers and em
ployes, instead of their violation in the
feverish rush of prosperity."
Few Japs Are Coming Now.
Victoria, B. C, May 14. T. Naka-

strictions being now strictly enforced.
There are few applications for pass
ports and few Japanese are going to
South America. Emigration from Ja
pan now is mostly to Corea and Man
churia. Mr. Nakamura was formerly

San Francisco, May 14. Seven di

tion of the marriage bond by Superior
Judge George H. Cabanisa. The judge
was in a hurry and took the examina

with which questions and answers came

UNSANITARY CONDITIONS.
Water Supply in Many Cases Found
Unnecessarily Polluted.
E. P. Pernot, Orwon Agricultural College,
Corvallis.
The condition in which I find water
received from various parts of the state
warrants my calling the attention of
the public to the unsanitary conditions
which must exist surrounding their
water supply. Some samples of water
taken in sterile bottles under ssceptic
precautions, contain as high as 63,680
germs per cubic centimeter (a teaspoon
holds about five cubic centimeters of
water and an ordinary drinking glass
about 225 cubic centimeters). A glass
ful of such water would therefore con
tain 14,305,500 living germs. While
it is true that many varieties of theBe
germs are not directly disease produc
ing, the continued introduction of such
large quantities of them into the sys
tem lowers vitality and increases sus
ceptibility to the disease producing
types when they gain access to the
body. Water containing so many or
ganisms carries alBO, in solution, the
ptomaines from the putrefaction of the
organic matter in which they grew.
These large number of organisms gen
erally find their way into open wells by
surface drainage and where they can
pass, so may the disease producing
types pass also.
The waters from driven wells are
comparatively free from organisms,
An open well is an abomination and is
not in keeping with our present under
standing of the laws of sanitation.
The question arises, how can we bet
ter our condition. Where a well is the
only means of obtaining water, let it
be dug to the water bearing stratum,
wall it up with brick laid in cement
for ten feet, arch it over with the
pump pipe and arch well cemented in,
fill the remainder of the hole, which
may be 15 to 20 feet, with clay well
tramped down" and the result will be a
bottomless brick jug, deep under
ground, into which no surface water,
worms nor animals can penetrate. The
water from such a well is as pure as
can be obtained from the locality in
which it is situated.
There are many families living in
the country who should enjoy the best
of health, but who are always ailing.
The cause of ill health may, as a rule,
be traced to their use of polluted water
produced by the unsanitary condition
of their surroundings.' But few homes
have proper drainage from sinks and
baths, dish water is thrown out of the
pack door on the ground near the well,
garbage is similarly disposed of to de
compose and drain into the well. Wash
water containing filth that would not
be tolerated on the clothing is also
emptied on the ground to drain into
the well. Most ol the open wells situ
ated near the house or barn are but
fRESCEIMT fe-pi-Phat.

cesspools. It is the lowest point in
its vicinity into which liquid s drain.
Frequently a privy is located within a
stone's throw of an open well. When
the water table rises to the surface of
the ground, as it always does during
the winter in Western Oregon, all sur
face water is contaminated, and, as the
water level lowers, the open wells be
come reservoirs for the drainage.
The ordinary stone or brick wall of
an open well only serves the purpose
of preventing the caving in of the
earth and in no sense acts as a niter.
We have received samples of water
from open wells, situated near barn
yards or dwellings, which were loaded
with organisms that are instrumental
in decomposing manure. The samples
gave strong reactions oi ammonia Dy
chemical analysis and were even tinted
with the color of liquid manure. One
particular sample was thus polluted
from a flower bed near the house, the
flower bed having been heavily ma
nured. In localities where water is piped in
to the house and there is no sewer, the
toilets should be connected with a prop
erly constructed septic tank and the
effluent should be piped a long distance
from the well and empty on the surface
of the ground, where, sun and air may
still further purify it. If an open clos
et must be used, a concrete vault, well
cemented, should be constructed, in
stead of a mere hole in the ground, and
lime frequently thrown into it to pre'
vent the breeding of flies. Earth clos
ets have been very successful and con
sist of galvanized iron trays or tubs
that may be emptied away from the
premises ; dry earth or ashes should be
used in connection with them to absorb
moisture and suppress odor.
It is well known that flies breed in
human and animal manure ; for exam
pie, the deposits of human excreta are
often seen to be a crawling mass of
maeeots. these are the larvae hatched
from the er gs deposited by flies, from
this they pass into the pupa stage and
again emerge as flies with the return
of warm weather. These flies enter
ouiyiwellings, walk upon our food and
directly transmit the organisms from
excreta to our food. Contanimation
does not cease at that, for we have
definitely proven that the organisms
which the flies take into their bodies
from the excreta are not destroyed by
their digestion, and passing from their
bodies with the excreta the germs util
ize this excreta for food and multiply.
Therefore a fly speck containing fifty
germs will increase its numbers fifty-
fold.
If perchance the organism happens
to be the typhoid bacillus, a fly speck
upon an apple, or other food, will
eventually contain thousands of germs.
This we have conclusively demon
strated by hatching flies in a sterile
box, then feeding them with bread or
sugar saturated with cultures of the
typhoid bacilli, then allowing tnem to
excrete upon apples, cabbage leaves,
other material that gives off moisture.
The fly speck, after some time, as
sumes the ' form of a colony and is
found to be loaded with living typhoid
bacilli, showing that they had passed
through the fly uninjured and had mul
tiplied abundantly in the fly's deposit.
It is well known that milk is an
ideal food for typhoid bacilli, and for
that reason should be well guarded
from the invasion of flies. Keep flies
out of the house, especially that part
where food is kept.
