Peking, Oct. 14—-When Charles R. Crane, the minister designated -to China, was recalled to Washington, which fact. was announced here on Oct. 6, it was believed that Mr. Crane’s recall was final and was due to his alleged utterances through the press, which were widely commented upon in the East.

London, Oct. 14.—James M. Barrie, the novelist and playwright, has been granted a divorce from his wife on ihe grounds of the latter's misconduct with Gilbert Cannan, a young author. The suit was not defended. Mrs. [Barrie was formerly Mary Ansell, an actress. Barrie himself took the witness stand and related the circumstances leading up to the action. The wit- ness said that in 1908 he had per- mitted the co-respondent the use of a cottage which the novelist owned at Farnham. It was at this cottage that the alleged misconduct took place.

St. Paul, Oct. 14.—Basing an estl- maie upen Lue returns received by the Northern Pacific railroad upon its for- eign adyertising it would seem that between 10,000 and‘ 15,000 familles will locate in the -Northwest before another year has passed. The North- ern Pacific hes made a tabulation of the results of advertising done in Hu- tope and finds that during the last e —— 5 2 7 A GE oUr Months it has Tecelved mote than 10,000 querles regarding Iands | in the Nurthwest. In answering these inquiries, which for the most bart have beon about homesteads, the raflroad - officials = have enclosed pamphlets relating to the Yellowstone; park, the Alaska-Yulkon exposition snd. a general outline of the lands open for homestead entry. Thirty per cent of the querles re- ceived have come from Germany, 25 per cent from England, 16 per cent from France and 15 per cent from Austria, PHYSICIANS DISCUSS INFANTILE PARALYSIS Know Little of Its Cause or Method of Prevention, ‘Winona, Minn., Oct. 14—The Min- nesota State Medical association, which is now holding its annual con- vention here, devoted the morning to a consideration of the epidemic of in- fantile paralysis which has been ex- verienced in the state the past four months. A year ago there were 150 cases and this year more than four times that number, pretty well scattered throughout the state. The aim: of the Minnesota board of health and of practicing physicians has been to dis- cover the cause of the disease and to devise means to prevents its spread. Dr. H. W. Hill, state epidermologist, has devoted his entire time since the outbreak began in visiting cases throughout the state. As a result of his investigations he inclines to the belief that the disease comes from horses and is spread from horse man ure mixed ‘witk dust. It seems to spread more readily in exceptionally dry perinds, although prevalent also at other times in July, August and Septeriber. The disease is believed to enter the system through ike nose or throat. A strange thing is that In the great majority of cases only one child in a family is attacked and this is usually the one considered to be most healthy. So far no approved method of pre- venting the spread of the disease has been esteblished, although it is thought. sprinkling in dry periods is helpful. Absolute rest is recommend- ed for victims along with approved medical treatment. PASSING OF NOTED PEOPLE MAJOR GENERAL ALFRED E. BATES, former paymaster general of the army, is dead at New York. General Bates was stricken with apoplexy Sunday.and never regained consciousness. JAMES V. MAHONEY, former chairmau of the Western Trunk lines. is dead at Chicago.

A., retired, who was strickeu with apoplexy Sunduy, is still vnconscious and no hope is offered of his recovery. General Bates 1s eixtynine years old. WHY SALVES FAIL T0 CURE EGZEMA They Clog the Pores—Only a Liquid Can Reach the Inner Skin. Since the old-fashioned theory of curing eczema through the blood has been given up by scientists, many different salves have been tried for skin disease, But it has been found that these salves only clog the pores and can not pene- trate to the inner skin below the epidermis where the eczema germs are lodged. - ‘This—the quality of penetrating —probably explains the tremend- ous success of the only standard liquid eczema cure, oil of winter- green as compounded in D, D. D. Prescription. After ten years of cure after cure, the world’s lead- ing skin specialists have accepted this-as the true eczema cure. ‘We ourselves do not hesitate to recommend D. D. D. Prescription at $1.00 a bottle, but for the bene- fit of those who have never tried the prescription, we arranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago for a special large trial bottle at 25 cents on a special offer now. This first bottle ought to convince every sufferer, and, at any rate, it will surely take away the itch at once. Barker's Drug Store, WISCONSIN BANK CLOSES DODRS Alleged Shortage of $210; ~ 000 Discovered. NO ARRESTS MADE AS YET Action Expected to Follow Confer- ences of Federal Authorities Now at Mineral Point—President of In- stitution Given Time to Raise Mon- ey to Carry It Through, but He Failed to Secure Amount Needed. Washington, Oct. 1 .—The discov- ery of alleged forgeries and defalca- tions aggregating, according to unoffi- cial advices, approximately $210,000, resulted in closing the doors of the First National bank of Mineral Point, Wis., and the appointment of John W. Schofield of the office of the ‘comptroller of the currency as receiv- er of the Wisconsin institution. Ar- rests were expected to follow the closing of the bank -after a confer- ence hetween the federal authorities at Mineral Point. The first word of irregularities in the bank reached the treasury depart- ment on Nct. 5, when National Bank Examiner Richard W. Goodhart, wh had been making his regular exam- ination of the bauk's condition, tele- graphed to the comptroller of the cur- rency that he had found some short- ages and questionable paper. The first indications were that the loss ‘would reach only $90,000. The figures of the discrepancy then began to gTOwW. Scon the amount was in- creased by $20,000 and the next and last amoun: reported to Washington swelled the loss to $128,000. The losses on other papers in the bank subseqaenily discovered probably ac- counts for the diference between this amount ani the $210,000 of alleged shortage awnounced in the press re- ports. S. Calver! Spensley is president of the bank. He expressed to the bank examiner cinfidence in his ability to carry the bank through its troubles. The bank officials sought cash to place to the credit of the bank and succeeded in obtaining a small amount. President Spensley declared that he coild raise $100,000 in cash within six days, but he was evidently unable to jegotiate that amount on the bank's credit and Examiner Goodhart rported by telegraph that the bank h:d -been closed.
