MILLIONS FOR BATLSOAD WOBK Farmer Ilnvc "f. ' Farmers and wealthy men of Winne a large amount of money in collectin and propagating wild game md Strang animals from many parts of the world, says the Chicago Laily News. W. J. Knapp. who owns a large farm near the Freeport-line of th Chicago & Northwestern railway, has a zoo of hia own which has attracted attention from animal breeders in different parts of the country, and B. Kldridge. thf wealthy manufacturer of Helvidere. lias embarked in the propagation and protection of game animals and birds on a large scale. Mr. Knapp began his work several years ago in a small way. A menagerie passing along the highway left a -rounded bear on the roadside. Bruin had been given up to die. but Knapy took pity on the beast, carried him tc bis farm and nursed him back to life. From that time he has been adding to his collection until he has a good-sized i.06. There are elk. deer, monkeys and a lot of birds of Sue feather There is a pretty herd of Shetland ponies and a great pond in wh'cii there may be seen a large variety of trout. Not long &, he imported a zebu cow. which, with 'Air. Hnv oalf canio nil the av from l 1 L 1 .J .... . India. There are many specimens ot rare character, one of which is a loris whlfch belongs to the quadrumanous tribe allied to the lemurs. Recently a pair of two-year-old buffalo was se cured and the purpose is to breed a herd of 'this great beast of the prairies. A pair of lions is also being negotiated for. The care of these animals entails an immense amount of work and ex pense, it having been necessary to pro vide an animal house for them. The effort of Mr. Eldridge is more in the line of a game preserve. He has acquired a large traet of land north of Belvidere and will probably enlarge it He has already turned loose a herd ol tieer, elk and other game animals and will add to the collection from time to time. Of the smaller game there are squirrels, rabbits, quail and pheasants. The entire preserve is inclosed in a high wire fence and the whole placed In charge of a gamo keeper. The farmers of Northern Illinois are becoming more and more ctringent in the matter of prohibiting shooting on their farms. In Rockford township of Winnebago county the farmers have formed an association, and among other things the shooting matter li handled by the association, a member of which allows no hunter on his prem ises unless the hunter is accompanied by a representative of the farmer, and shooting on Sunday is not permitted at all on the farm of any member of the association. The result is that hunters err- giving the locality a wide berth and are establishing hunting preserve! in different swamp lands in Illinois ani Wisconsin. KatimaUd S400,000 Will ho Expand This Coming Summer. During the coming summer $40O,9tt, GftO is to be expended on the railroads cf the United States, according to the Brooklyn Eagle. In speaking of tie matter, it says: "Traffic has assumed such vast pro portions that the railroads are unablo to handle it Thirty million dollars in earnings were lost to the railroads iast year simply because they could not haul the freight offered, notwithstand ing the fact that 150.000 cars were add ed to the equipment. To prepare for the coming busy season many millions are to be spent for rolling stock so much heavier than anything now in use that it becomes necessary to re build bridges and track to carry the ISO-ton locomotives md the cars con taining fifty tons of cargo. "Road beds are to be built. cure3 straightened out. grades reduced and cutoffs constructed. Long stretches of single track will be made into double -track systems. Lines that have sufficed tr carry trains of average veight are to be made over to suit the exacting demands of the heavy traffic of today. A great proportion of the rolling stock of the last few years must be swept out of existence. Engines and cars are no longer big enough, powerful enough to handle the rapidly increasing tra tic The cry everywhere is for more po wil ful rolling stock. For these there must he better road beds. "Freight yards aro growing too small. The volume of trade has grows beyond them. The press of cars s so great that new side track facilities must be devised for their loading, their unloading and their shifting. The problem of the freight yards is being added to as well by the increase in size of the new cars that ire now coming Into use. Altogether it is an era of pew construction. One new set of conditions has made necessary others. Two years from now will see the coun try's railroads on quite a different plane. "The day has come of the decapod locomotive, with its ten driving wheels, a machine that rises so high in aii. that to pass through tunnels the smokestack has to be dwarfed; of the freight car twice as large as that of half a dozen years ago; of some arch bridges in the place of steel, of the Height yard of several stories. "Such a freight yard is now being de signed for the new Wabash terminal in Pittsburg, a huge steel building that will be several stories in height. Ths cars will be run in here and will be lifted on huge elevators and unloaded and reloaded on the unper floors. No one has as yet been allowed a view of the preliminary designs. But their importance can be readily realized. "A building of this sort, revolution ary as it is. is a necessity for this Pittsburg terminal, sin'-e it was impos sible to get sufficient land to build A freight station of the ordinary kind. If it proves a success it will mean a mew era in freight handling." WORTH $300,000,000. The President of a certain big Oil Com pany is said to be worth 9300,000,000. A tidy bit of money and no mistake. And yet he isn't happy. In an address to a Bible class he spoke of trials and troubles of the rich and the loads they have to carry. A young lady whispered to a friend that he might wear a Benson's Porous Plaster on his back or, better still, divide the money among the members of the class. I don't know why her idea about the plaster -makes me want to laugh, but it does. All the same I have seen plenty of people laugh after putting Benson's Plasters on their backs or chests, or on any other spot where there was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain. It may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the aches and wrenches of rheumatism ; it may be colds in muscles or bones; it maybe those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make yon yell as at a dog bite ; or it may be a strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet ing and comforting. Dont bother with salves, liniments, lotions, etc., or with any of the stupid and useless old style plasters. Clap on a Benson's. It relieves at ones and cures quickly. It stops the pain and makes you laugh for the very ease and good feeling of it. But watch out against im itations and substitutes.

"So as not to wake the audience,' replied the Weekly. Morgan and i ho Diamonds. A leading jeweler of Paris tells the following story about J. Pierpont Mor gan: air. Morgan had seen two magnifi cent diamonds in the jeweler's shop and wanted to present them to the New York Museum of Natural History for its collection of precious stones, but he thought the price ($8,000) ex tortionate. A few days later, however, being then in London, Mr. Morgan wrote to the jeweler to send the diamonds to him for a second examination, which was done. Within a week the jeweler received another letter from Mr. Mor gan, accompanying a small box heavily sealed. The letter read: "The stones are really perfect I would like to buy them, but think your price abnormal. That's why I send them back. If you can let ma have them for $6,000 telegraph, at the same time returning duly reinsured, without troubling about breaking the deals, in order to save time." The jeweler decided not to reduce the price, and opened the box. Tho diamonds were not there, but in?ad he found Mr. Morgan's check for $S, 000, with this brief note: "I'll take them anyhow; send receipt" New Train Service Between St Joseph and Chariton, la.

The complaints of General Pearson, the Boar agent in the United States, regarding the British army's mule camp at Lathrop, the sensational speeches made about it by Missouri congressmen and the decision of congress to investi gate it, have made Lathrop a point of international interest. The camp has been in existence since May 1. 1901. Since then about 72,000 horses and mules 55000 horees and 17,000 mules owned by the British government have been in the Guyton-Harrington Mule Company's pasture there. They have been shipped from every every part of iuc umwu oiaies, Kepi mere two or; three weeks each, and reshipped again by the trainload to New Orleans. Ever since last May this has been the largest horse and mule camp ever maintained by any government in tho world. For this reason, the people of Lathrop think the Boer agents and their friends have been somewhat belated in making what they believe is the discovery that the neutrality laws are not violated in favor of the British. The poposed investigation is the only thing talked about in Lathrop. The news that General Pearson was on his way there ran rapidly through the town and everybody knew it. Generally tbe townspeople take the British side of the argument and maintain that there is no ground for asserting that the Boers' rights are being infringed. The pres ence of the British army officers, who are "good spenders," and the large num ber of people and animals which the people have been called upon to feed, has very considerably increased the local prosperity, and this doubtless in fluences the opinions of not a few. Now, both the British army officers there and the members of the Guy ton Harrington Mule Company and their employes declare that the Guyton-Har-rington Company either owns or has leases on every acre of land in the camp; that it owns all the buildings upon it; and that the only service it has rendered the British government is that of selling its horses and mules and feeding horses and mules which the representatives of that government had bought. OREGON PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Annual : Announcement The Oregon Public Schools will begin work September 2nd. Ample room will be made for all outside pupils who may desire to attend. Parents can find no better place where they can educate their sons and daughters. New labroatory apparatus has been added during the summer, so that more thorough and com plete work in tbe line of science may be done. The High School work has been raised, so that no Public School in Missouri can boast of a higher or better course of work than Oregon. Students completing the work of this school can enter any course of the University or other leading Colleges of the State. Anyone contem plating to attend school during the coming year should investigate the grade of work which is done here. A full and capable corps of instructors will have charse of the work. The course of work of the High School of Oregon is as follows: The proceedings of the county board ot equalizations will be found on our inside pages. Baker. Wheat is needing raic in our lo cality.
