The work of preparation for this enormous edition began last September, when five members of the editorial staff were detached from service on the regular editions and constituted the Anniversary Edition pages and will pounds Couneil, The first work was theformulation of plans and these having been adopted, a schedule was prepared which resembles a railway timetable. On this schedule is a space for each page and the dates each por tion of the work on that page must begin and end—from the reporter and photographer to the pressman. The members of the council were as- signed to divisions of the work and directed artists, photographers, re- porters and stenographers in the preparation of the features for their divisions, The head of the council keeps them in such close touch that up to date the work has followed the schedule faithfully. Eighteen color pages were planned, and, asa color page occupies more than thrice the time in preparation that is necessary for a black page of equal merit, the first work was on these pages. By the latter part of October all of the color pages had been completed and were in the hands of the pressman, They had gone the long road from the sugg’stion of the editor, the collection of matertal by reporters, the taking of pictures by photographers, the combination of pictures in accepted designs by art ists, the engraving and the electro- typing. They were ready to be printed on the Post-Dispatch’s huge four-color presses. Before November began a com- pleted section of the anniversary edi tion was on the press. The necessary paper has been brought in a special train of 10 enor mous freight cars from the mills in the East and stored in the Post-Dis- patch warehouse, So fast as the first section was printed on the big color presses on the first floor of the Post Dispatch building the copies were carried by elevators to the sixth oor. There, as soon as the printing of the second section was begun, aforce of men was employed “stuffing” the second section into the first; when the third section came up the eleva- tors that was also “stuffed” and so the process will continue until all the sections of this enormous edition are combined in the completed newspa per. The total weight of this paper 600,000 pounds. The problem of distribution is the most difficult ever presented to the circulation depart- mentof any newspaper. The edition will approximate a qu«rter of a mill- by more than one million people. Missouri Cattle Barns Burn. Belton, Mo., Nov. 14.—A large barn on the Humphreys ranch near here was burned Wednesday night, and A. J. Humphreys, in trying to | save some of the fine horses stabled there was severely burned. Last e night another of the large barns was destroyed by fire. It is thoughtthat the fires were the work of an incen- diary. The ranch is the property of - William Humphreys and {s one of the 4 finest in the state. It consists of 2,- ¢ 000 acres and is devoted to thegrow- 4 ing of thoroughbred Hereford cattle. There are barns for the stabling of 500 cattle. Horses, carriages and a large quantity of forage were burned in the fire.

United States Were Going to Panama. | Houston, Tex., Nov 14 —Fivehun-| dred men, 200 from Texas and 300° from Louisiana and the mountains of Tennessee, were to have set up an independent government on the! Isthmus of Panama. Two-monthe ago an agent of the revolution was in Bouston. He bore recommenda- tions from every officer of the Sev- enth army corps, which served in the Spanish war, aleo from the governors of variousstates in the North. Arms, ammunition and supplies were ready fordistribution, The expedition was to have sailed from New Orleans in time to take part in the revolution of November 3, Fifty men enlisted here and 150 from over the state. In New Orleans and the Tennessee mountain district similar prepara- tions were made. The agent is supposed to have rep- resented the French Panama Canal company, large interests on the isthmus and others in the United States. It is believed 500 men could control the situation on theisthmus, establish government and deal : fhi- cially with the Unived States. Every member was bound under oath to secrecy and as a result it is difficult to bring the story with details to a focus. Ia the last moment the fear of political damage to the adminis- tration in the United States caused an abandonment of the plans Na- tives are said to have consummated therevolution and the American resi dents and foreign soldiers carried the movement to a successful issue. Dur- ing last winter a number of adven- turers left here for the isthmus. All were in communication with leaders in that section and these-men-have taken a leading part in the revolu- tion. The plans hatched in the United States were fully kuown in the ottice of the French company in Paris, SHOT A “MAD” BULL. A Posse of Hunters Killed the “Wild” Animal Near Columbia, Mo. Columbia, Mo., Nov. 13 —Newe reached here to-day of the killing of the wild bull of Bellamy Springs, 18 miles east of Columbia, which has terrorized that neighborhood for several months and has killed much stock belonging to farmers of the neighborhood. The bull was killed yesterday afternoon by hunters, ten or twenty in number, who surroune- ej the beast and killed him just as he was making an attack on one of the hunters, James Warnock, who fired at him The bull escaped-from a local herd some time ago and after wandering in the woods alone for a time, went mad and attacked every living thing in sight. He seemed to be possessed of unusual strength and would jump the highest fences with ease, attack- ing herds of cattle, hogs and sheep. The beast caused such terror in the neighborhood that no one would go out at night for fear of being attack- ed. The hunting party which killed the bull has been organized some time and has made :epeated at- tempts to kill theanimal.

Mrs. Murray’s Sense of the Hu- mane is So Great She Will Not Harvest Crops LestHer Beasts of Burden Suffer. New Brunswick, N. J., Nov. 14 — Mre, Evelyn W. Murray, Teputed to have over $1,000,000, is the wealth- iest woman in Somervet county. She does not believe in eating meat and will not allow any of her stock to be sold, lest it get into the hands of the butchers, Of late, she has been having all the calves born on the place chloroform- vd immediately after birth, so that they will not become veal. Last week by her direction Dr. E R. Voorhees, veterinary, killed four ‘ull grown cowsand a bull three yeare ld by posion injection that brought ‘he quickest death possible to them. [wo dogs were put to death at the same time, and Mrs, Murray is pre- paring a systematic slaughter for all her stock, including two finecarriage horses, an old horse and mule which have been for many years on the farm. She has given up driving, and goes about the country in a large automobile. Mrs. Marray is said to have other peculiar ideas regarding her farm. Crops are raised, but never harvest- ed,so that her animals will not be worked, and wither away in the fields, while food supplies for the stock are purchased in large quantities, AN ARDEN IN REAL LIFE.
