Hnn in its attitude regarding the

would be necessary before the United

ty-flrst regiment of volunteers, which
arrived on the transport Hancock, wus
landed nt the presidio. In the two
years of campaigning in the Philip-
pines not a shot was fired in battle
by any memlter of the regiment. Not
one man in the command was killed
or wounded by bullets, and of all the
•eglments to come back from the Phil-
ippines it has the smallest death rec-
ord. Only .10 of the members died ditr-
ittg the two years it was in service.
Three of these were drowned anil an-
other wits attacked bv a ha ml of hos-
tile Moros and stabbed to death. Th
others died from diseases. On the

Twenty Seventh National Merlin, formal-
• Opened at KaaaaaCliy-riaaib aa
I'arada Tue.day Night.
Kansas City, Mo., June 12—Tha
twenty-seventh national meeting of
■hriners was formally opened Tuesday
morning. The imperial officers, the
men who are nt the lieud of all the
shriners of North America, were es-
corted in a picturesque and formal
way from their headquarters to the
Standard theater, where their first
session of the council, whieli was the
actual beginning of the meeting of
the shrincra. waa held. The |tara<ls
waa a flash of music and bright colors.
The first meeting of the Imperial
council Was a flash of oratory. A trifle
the worse for the heat of the weather,
but a little the better for the warmth
of their reception, the men who wear
the little red Turkish caps entered in-
fo the business of their national meet-
ing with the hearty wide awake spir-
it which characterizes them.
The down town streets were given
over at night to brass bands and
marching shrinera in brilliant oriental
costumes, with an accompaniment of
fireworks and the liooming of mor-
tars. The preparations that had been
made for the nnnital parade of the
Arab patrol, which ia the military
branch of the mystic shrine, afforded
a spectacle worth seeing. The word
gorgeous is none too extravagant to
describe the costumes of the patrols.
Their splendor was enhanced by the
electric lights and the pyrotechnic,
set off by the TopeKa Flamlteau cluh,
which led the procession.

Manhattan, Kan., June II.—An ex-
periment in the production of "baby
beef recently completed by I'rof. 1L
M. Cot I re 11 at the Kansas Agricul-
tural college is attracting wide atten-
tion, particularly among western
packers and beef producers, it ia
prrdictrd at the college that the ex-
periment will revolutionize the pres-
ent methods of b'ef production
among farmers with limited pastures
within the next five yen in.
I'rof. llcnry, ai. authority recog-
nized throughout the world on beef
production, finds in a large number of
experiments that it takes 1.000 pounda
of grain and 500 pounds of rou^-'iage
to make the average steer gain 100
pounds.
I'rof. Cottrell, in hia recent experi-
ment with "baby beef." finds that it
only takes from 223 to 592 pounds of
grain und 410 to 613 pounds «.f rough-
age to put 100 pounda of meat on a
calf. In other words, that the same
number of pounds of."baby beef" can
be produced on half the grain nt the
utmost that other beef can be. "IJaby
beef" brings just as much on the
market as olhcr beef.
But "baby beef" c§annt l;e success-
fully produced « it but* alfalfa or goy
beans. They go hand In hand. If
a farmer hasn't any alfalfa or soy
beans he had l>etter keep out of the
"bal-y beef" business The cost of
production of "baby t^ef" is so much
less than the cost of producing other
beef, however, that it will encourage
the rapid increase in the nerenge of
alfnlfa and soy Wans. As between
alfalfa nnd soy beana I'rof. Cottrell
says alfalfa Is the letter. It takea
two years though to get a crop of
alfalfa. Soy beans can be used first.
It only takes 90 days to grow that
crop.

Chicago, June 12.—Christian science
treatment for a sprained ankle came
before Judge Tuthill, of the juvenile
court, for his judicial opinion. His
rerdict was that Albert Chamberlain
should be taken away from his
parents, who had treated him for his
Injury after the method of Mrs. Eddy.
Be was sent to the crippled children's
home. The testimony showed thnt
the boy had been two years under the
treatment, during which time the in-
jured leg had shrunk until now it is
shorter than the other. The mother,
who is a tnemher of a Christian sci-
ence ohurch, asserts lhat the failure
of the remedy is due to unlieiief and
adverse criticism of neighbors, which
disturlied her mental equipoise. There
is doubt ns to whether Judge Tut-
hill's action will be nllowed to go un-
questioned by the Christian scientists
of the city. He held that the neglect
of the parents in not furnishing med-
ical attendance was of so decided a
nature as to warrant him in taking
the boy from their core.

afterwards, by a preconcerted move-
ment, the students, who are a unit
on the side of I)r. Tubbs, took con-
trol of the exercises and demanded
a public explanation of the truateea'
action. Fiery speeches were made by
a half dozen students and ministers.
An effort waa mnde to appease the
students, but they refused to be ap-
peased until the trustees agreed to
meet their committee and listen to
their demands for the reinstatement
of Dr. Tubbs. His alleged heresy con-
sists of a radical belief in evolution
and in denying that all of the Bible
is inspired. Other ministers of the
Northwest Kansas conference share
his views, and it is believed tlist this
is the beginning of a clash between
the orthodox and the liberal elements
of the Methodist church of the wrst.
Dr. Tubbs is an associate editor of
the Central Christian Advocate, the
official organ of the Methodist church
in the middle west.
Hev. Dr. Daniel MeCiurk, of Jewell
City, said: "Dr. Tubbs is an evolution-
ist, and he is simply teaching the
same things that are taught in North-
western university and the, principal
Methodist theological schools. There
are a lot of old fogies among the
ministers of this conference who want
to deny the right of a man to think
for himself. For my part, I propose
to think for myself and sny what I
think. They have been after me the
same as they have after Dr. Tubbs,
and I propose to leave this confer-
ence. If I can't get a transfer to suit
me, I will go on the lecture plat-
form."
