CHILDREN DIE BY
SCORES IN GREAT
MISSOURI PLAGUE
t. Louis, Mo.. Juno 2. Sixty-ti-ri.t
children have died from a se
veiv form of summer conipluint in
southeastern Missouri during the last
few weeks, according to information
te!ei"Mior.ed here today.
M :e than persns. mostly chil-
drtr.. r.ow are ill witn the disease and
about a fourth of these are in a seri
ous condition.
The information came here from
Pr. C. M. Harrison, corner of Dunk
lin county, and Ir K. II. Tate, cor
oner of Scott county.
llr. Harrison reported fifty child
deaths in Dunklin county in the last
six weeks and Dr. Tate reported
eighteen in Scott county.
According to the reports from the
physicians the epidemics that have
struck the two counties are similar,
l.ut are not identical. Dr. Harrison
said the deaths in Dunklin county
were due to enterocolitis, an infection
of the intestines.
Dr. Tate said the disease in Scott
county was liiocolitis. a summer com
plaint similar to enterocolitis.
The disease is attributed to abnor
mal weather conditions in southeast
ern Missouri, a late, cold spring,
quickly followed by warm weather,
which caused excessive vaporization
from the sandy soil. Flies are be
lieved to have been carriers, of the
di-ease.
Four deaths from cholera infantum
are reported from Senath, Dunklin
county, by Dr. Hughes. Sixteen per
sons there are under treatment for
that disease.

Senate Leaders of All Factions Auree
to Limit Prohibition to Dis
tilled Spirits.
Washington, D. C, June -2'J. Inter
vention of President Wilson today
checked the "bone dry" national pro
hibition movement in congress. Con
finement of prohibition legislation to
distilled beverages without interfer
ence with manufacture of beer and
wines, it is generally agreed, will re
sult. Prohibition leaders were aske 1 4 l-y
the president to drop their fitrht
aainst the manufacture of bet v,
wines and other light intoxicant-.
With a formal response from the
"drys" deferred, senate leaders of a1!
factions quickly reached an under
standing to limit absolute prohibition
to distilled spirits.
Writes Dry Chief.
President Wilson exchanged letters
with the Rev. Dr. James Cannon,
chairman of the National Anti-Saloon
league's legislative committee, and
cai'il senate leaders to the Whit"
house in his effort to smooth the v.ay
fr- final enactment of he food meas
ure. Bone dry" legislate- was writ
ten into the bill before it passed thr
h.uje and the senate agv'cu.tural com
mitter amended the provision to pro
hi'dt the manufacture of distilled spir
its, but empowered th' president to
teirnit the making of bee.- and wine.
P.is.-sge of the food bill early next
vnti: is expected. In this letter to
Dr. Cannon th? president said:
"I r gard the immclidtj passage of
the VII as of vital consc.rje :. e to the
safety and defense of th'.- nation. Time
is the essence and yet it has become
evidctt that heated and protracted de
bate will delay the passage cf the bill
indefinitely if the rr i.'isions affect
ing the th manufactur2 of beer and
wines ale rer lined and m.-.iste i u;x.n.
Defer Definite Answer.
"In these circumstances I have not
hesitated to say to members of the
senate who have been kind enough to
consult me, that it would undoubtedly
be in the public interest in this very
critical matter if the friends of those
provisions should consent to their
elimination from the present measure.
"Feeling that your committee is
actuated by the same patriotic mo
tives that these considerations will
?eem to you, as they seem to me, to
be imperative."
GROWING HOGS.
For a hog to be profitable he must
be kept growing from birth to mar

unless he is healthy. He can always
be in a profit-producing condition if

WILKERSON AGAIN TO
DISCUSS MURDERS
Red Oak, la.. June 29. Handbills
have been distributed here and in
other points of Montgomery art! ad
joining counties advertising a niass
mceting to be held at the Deardsley
opera house here at C o'clock Satur
day afternoon.
Detective J. X. Wilkerson has
stated that he will discuss the Yillisca
ax murders and much interest in the
meetings has been aroused in Mont
gomery county, especially in Yillisca
ar.d Red Oak.
Wilkerson, who hns been located
here for the past two months, has
been extremely active of late, and is
understood to have something of in
terest to spring.
Indications are that the house will
be jammed, and delegations are ex
pected from all over the county.
Interest in the Yillisca ax murder
ca5;e has been increased by the ap
proaching trial of Lyn George Kelley,
nov in jail at Logan, which is sched
uled to be held September 4. The
same factional divisions of pro-Jones
and against-Jor.es are evident, the
anti-Jones supporters declaring that
the Kellcy case is a frame and that
the itinerant minister had nothing to
do with the crime.
Wilkerson is actively engaged in
ai ling the defense of Kelley, and is
said to have gathered some evidene-e
which may aid in clearing the ac
cused man.
FLOATERS ROUNDED UP AND
KEPT IN JAIL OVER NIGHT
From Sat unlay': Dai'y.
Last evening two floaters were
rounded up by Officer J. W. Elliott
and as the men seemed to have no
particular destination they were de
tained over night at the city jail to
keep theVn otil of mischief. This
morning the two men were escorted
to the boundaries of the city by Chief
Barclay and sent on their way. One
cf the men desired to get to Omaha,
while the other was desirous of hitting
for the east, and botti were sent on
their way rejoicing. One of the men
was in a decided warlike humor and
did r.ot relish in the least being or
dered to hike, but ho followed the re
quest of the police without much per
suasion. With the present condition
and the demand for men to work there
does not seem to be any good reason
why these tourists should be kept here
several days at the expense of the
city when they could be traveling.

London, June 29. An official state

"Early last night we attacked and
captured the enemy's forward posi

south and west of Onpv. The whole
of our objectives was gained and

guns taken by us.

Purls, June 20. Picked German
troops made a heavy attack las
night on the Yerdun front near Hil
o l and Avocourt wood, after espe
ciaily severe shelling.
Today's official statement says the
attack was disorganized by the sharp
reply of the French artillery and that
the Germans obtained a footing at
only a few points in the first line.
This morning the Germans made
another violent effort east of Hill 304
It failed completely.
The Germans were active on th
Aisr.e front. All their attacks were
repulsed.
Night Battle in Storm.
British Headquarters in France
Jnue 29. (By Associated Press.)
The fighting is more intense in the
vicinitv of Lenz. The British made a
brilliant attack last night during
blinding rain that accompanied
thunderstorm on a number of the
southwesterly suburbs of the great
mining city. All the first objects of
the attack were gained and the indi
cations are that the British are stil
pushing forward today.
Nearly 200 prisoners already have
b -er. collected in the cages and more
captives are reported on the way back
from the fighting front. A numbe
of machine guns also are reported
taken. f
The fighting took place in and out
among bits of ruined buildings, col
lories, pit derricks and the usual litter
rnd paraphernalia of a mining set
tlement, only in thip case the tangle
had been made greater by the she
lire of many months.
The bombardment which preceded
the attack was carried out on a fairly
vide front and was of but slightly
less intensity than that which ha
preceded some of the greater actions
on the British front.
A SPLENDID MANAGER.
One cf the pleasant features of the
chautauqua is the manner in which the
management of the affair is being
bandied, and a great deal of credit
for this is due to Mr. C. N. Walton,
the platform manager, who is with us
for the week of the entertainment.
Mr. Walton, who is the superintendent
of schools of vahoo, is a clever gen
tleman and understands thoroughly
the management of an entertainment
cf this kind, and has added a great
deal of pleasure to those who have
attended the sessions of the Chau
tauqua.
