Buried beneath the shifting surface of the Mountain- side are said to be many thousands of dollars, the fruits of the -alleged bank raids by the gang in the days following the American Civil War. The -intrepid Missouri bandits led - their bands of horded "long -riders" through five States, robbing banks and holding up trains at will, re- turning , after each raid tq the hid- ing -place offered in the hills and mountains of the eastern and -south- ern sections of the old Indian ter- I ritory. In time - the ceaseless trailing . of the James boys resulted in the al- leged assassination of - Jesse Jams by Bob Ford, renegade member of - the gang, and the ultimate surren- der of Frank James to Governor Thomas T. Crittenden, of Missouri. Accompanied by Major John N. Edwards, at that time the greatest editorial writer in the •Cenntral West, Frank surrendered to Governor, Crit- tenden and was let go on a parole with Major Edwards, the Governor accepting his personal word that he would appear before. the Cooper Coun- ty Circuit Court at its next convola- tion. He was there to stand trial for the Otterville .,and - other train i rob- beries, or, in the event of °a continu- ance, to furnish - such a bond as the court might order. Wheh court was convened and the - first case was . called against the rioted defendant, the State -- an- nounced "Not ready," and the bond was fixed. At this point in the trial many men in- the district showed their friend hip in • an unstinted manner. . NO one, nor two, nor a dozen, but aimos a hundred wealthy Missourians, eac survivor of the "Lost Cause," ea either a member fo the Marmaduke Brigade, one of Donavan's men, or a wild rider with Quantrell, vied with each other to affix their names, each name repre- senting tens of thousands of dollars, to, the bond of the man who had worn the uniform of Confederate gray during the troublesome period of the Civil War, when Missouri had been a . "Border State," the scene of four years of bitter partisan warfare. Frank James returned to peaceful pursuits and avocations' during the days which followed his surrender and while he was out upon what may be styled a -"Perennial;" bond, while cases of the "State of Missouri vs Frank Janney," cases which never came to trial%hut? were continued from term to term - in .the Cooper County • and other Missouri- courts, pended against him. ; TheBrookfield bank robbery caus- ed a kreat stir in that locality. A large possewas formed and a vigor- ous hunt was started for Bob and Cole Younger and the man who rode the "Buckskin Horse." While the rider of the "Buckskin Horse" got a- way, the Younger Brothers were fin- ally captured and were sentenced to long years of confinement in the Minnesota penitentiary. The two Youngers were kept for years behind the bars of the penitentiary before a pardon was at last secured, when they returned to their native State, Mis- souri, and settled upon farms near Lee's Summit and there spent the re- mainder of their lives as eeuiet, law- abiding citizens. It is unwritten his- tory which' tells of their many trips made to the old Indian Territory and of the days and weeks and months spent in futile searching for the lost hiding place of .the gold and silver buried years before in a cave in the Arbuckles. - Following ' the Blue Cut robbery,, Jesse and- Frank James drifted back to the Indian Territory to a rendez- vous in the hills of the beautiful Turner's Falls, one of the most fas- cinating scenic spots in all that sec- tion. While they were in temporary retirement they buried the fruits of their raids in a natural cave, near the . base of one of the mountains composing the Arbuckle chain. The mouth - of the cave was walled up with masonary and dirt and bluff . debris avalanched systematically over the masonary in such a way as to conceal it from -the eye of casual ob- servation. Informations gleaned from, 'personal friends of the Missouri out- laws, says that the passing years, - which had brought additional wrinkles - to the faces' and sprinkled with silver the heads of the former "long riders" had changed the landscape of . the mountain side within which was the cave wherein the stolen gold was hid- den. . Avalanches of nature had car- ried- tons and tons of earth and rock over and across the artificial avalanche of loose rock and debris_ with which the wall of masonry that guarded the entrance to the treasure chamber was hidden., Many expeditions were made to the locality of Turner's ,Falls in an endeavor to find the `lost cave," all of 1whieh proved futile and the search - was at last abandoned. r SAVES FORTUNE BY BECOMING AJMERICAN In - more ways than one it is a tough thing thesedays to be a German citizen. Doubly precious has- become citizenship in .Britain, France and the United States. Apart . from the traditional privileges which such '-citizenship `guarantees, to be a German now may prove an extremely costly business. Such is • the sad ex- perience of Mrs. Mumm, a name fam- ous enough in the days .before this craze, for water set in. A few days ago - Mrs. Mumma; was a German citizen. To -day she is in process of being made an American, which ,she was . before her marriage. The difference in money may run close to the million or more, - and eine there are likely to be other cases like that t of Mrs. Mumm, it is inter- esting to recite her experience as ' presented in a - recent debate in Congress,' to which body she ` had applied for restoration' of her rights of American citizenship. It appears that Mrs. Mumm was formerly Miss Frances Scoville, ' of Kansas birth. She was - described bjT a member from Kansas as a "youeig woman of rare charm. 'and. unusual graces," who had ani .ample fortune and had travelled .much. In the course of her travels she met Mr. Walter 1VVumnn. lie wad also young, extremely wealthy and handsome. They fell in love. All the ingredi- ents for a happy international mar- riage, what is known as a "true .love match,",sere present. They were married in London.' - Now Mr. Mumm was a member 'of that family that had for many years- produced the Mumm line of champagne, a substance that con- tradicted the name on the bottle every time it was opened, as a re- sult of -the garrulity it excited.. Mr. Mumm was the French representa- tive of the firm, and made his home in 'France, But he was a German by birth, and, it may be, a Ger- man reservist. For two or three years preceeding the war the Mumms lived more or less happily -in France. As time went on the haps piness decreased, for Mrs. Mumm discovered, that her husband no longer honored' the sacred oath he had miade at the altar rails. He aldo turned himself into one of his own best customers, and abandoned himself to • singing as well. • Never- theless his wife, then about to have a baby, refrained from an open break, and for the sake of keeping the home together she did not leave. Nevertheless the couple were es- trangled. Then came the war. Mumm as a knotthn German had .to leave the country. His wife, after a „brief - struggle, brief - struggle, left. also. They set up an establishment in Germany. Shortly af- terward Mrs. Mumm, finding ,herself in a hostile - environment, left her husband and .proceeded to France. Or it may have been to Switzer - 1 1 nd. � The New York Tribune says ranee, an, that she engaged in war work for the Allies, her heart being in, the cause. Mrs. Munnm's champions in' 'the House of Repre- sentatives made no mention of France, but said the young wife and :mother went to Switzerland where they remained until the war ended. In this matter one is inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to the politicians, - for it is highly improb- able •that however Mrs. -Mumm might have sympathized with France, and despite her American birth, she would not have been; a welcon?e resi- dent in France when her husband was such a well known German: _At any rate before the couple separated, they had come to an agreement that so far as Mrs. Mumm is concerned appears not to have been ungenerous. - Mrs. Mumm was to have an allowance of $1,000 a month and a two-fifths in- terest in the estate of her husband. She, of course, had not gone to him penniless,' and -may have been only getting some of her own. wealth back under the terms of, the document. When -the war came to an end, if not before it, Mrs. Mumm went to France: There she found the Gov- ernment in possession of whatever Mumm property there was in the country. Mrs. Mumm, having a deed set- ting forth her ownership of - two- fifths of -her husband's property, asked the French Government not to seize her portion. The French Government _replied that although she was an American by birth, she became a German citoyenne when she took a German husband, and that therefore she could claim no, consideration in. the eyes of the law, Mrs. Munn appealed in vain to the facts of her birth, her wa : sympa- thies, and her approaching • divorce. The French Government remained obdurate. Then she was advised that if she could have her American citizenship restored, she could apply to the courts as an ally or associate. citizen and might claim two-fifths of her husband's French property. There followed her appeal to the Congress, and the discussion which is faithfully reported in the ° Con- gressional Record. The fact : was brought out that after the armistice, when she desired to go back to Ger- many on divorce business, she was refused on' the ground that she was an allied sympathizer and had con- . trivutel her mite to bring about the down fall of the Fatherland. In the course of the, debate some of the honorable., members seemed to think that - Mrs. Munn in asking for thee restoration of her citizen- ship was animated by motives mer- cenary rather than by motives pa- triotic. They pointed out that until the 'matter of properly entered the question. she .had made no effort to become American again. It was also brought up that there is an American law to. the effect that five years' uninterrupted residence abroad, except in the case of those in the service of the Government, deprives a- naturalized American of citizenship. i To this it was ' opposed that Ml's, 1 Muria was not a naturalized citizen, and that in any event she became a German when Mumm married her. So • Mrs. Mumm's petition was granted by a joint resolution. The case calls at- tention to the fact that in. the pre- sent war, whether in other wars or not, when the property of an alien NEWEST NOTES OF SCIENCE In an English inventor's belt driven automobile changes of speed are made by moving the -11� eft from one set of pulleys to another.

FAIL STABLE GLEANQP The Health and Comfort of Live Stock . Deinand It. Need of Ventilation, Light and Cleans Iiness to Avoid Tuberculosis and Other Diseases --Use Whitewash, Whether Sprayed or, Brush - handled, and Brighten Interior.. (Contributed by Ontarib Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) HE observance of the laws of health, so vital to the well- being of man, is regarded even In this enlightened age, with considerable indifference in the treatment of animals upon whose good health that of man him - 'self depends to a 'considerable de- gree. That animals are not more 'affected by disease, of some form or another, to a greater extent, is purely providential, for the sanitary condi- tions under which they are often reared is of the worst. Why this apathy concerning the state of the stables, in which frequently valuable animals are housed, is difficult to un- . derstand, since cattle, any more than man, cannot maintain • their 'health and vigor for long In such unfavor- able conditions; yet the stockman who kdepe cattle for profit must know that to gain maximum returns for his investments and trouble, and to guard against loss from disease and death reasonable care and com- fort - and sanitary conditions are necessary. The first considerations to this end are ventilation, light and cleanliness. These essential Zlements of sanita- tion should be attended to ..at least once every year. This -may be most conveniently - done , during - the early fail before the .cattle are housed for the winter. Effective ventilation - is required to carry away the foul air and maintain constant and adequate supply of fresh air. The window spacel should be ample'so that every corner of the interior may be flooded with light and -sunshine, the source of health and destroyer of germs. Dirt and filth make :productive breed- ing places for insects and bacteria. Cleanliness gets rid of. conditions which produce them and prevents the - possibility of infection and contagion, reducing possible loss from disease to a minimum. That much -dreaded disease, tuberculosis, is in a measure the product Of dark, dirty, ill -venti- lated stables.' It is caused by organ- ism or germs gaining entrance into the animal's system with the food. It is not - easy' to detect, and usually when symptoms become evident it is too late to apply any remedy, hence the necessity of making every effort to .secure and .maintain sanitark-con- ditions in the. stable. Every fall, then, ,the stable should be systemati- cally cleaned; cobwebs swept from wall - and ceilings; accumulated dirt and debris cleared from manger, trough, window -sills and all recesses . in walls; the fresh air intakes and foul air outlets put in order; fill all cracks and holes in floor and walls with cement; replace all broken glass in windows and clean them; disinfect the whole stable thoroughly with soine good disinfectant, such as chlor- ide of lime;- crude carbolic acid, or zenoleum; which can be easily applied with a scrap pump or a watering can with a fine nozzle. Give particular attention to pens or stalls which have been occupied by stock suffering from contagious disease or have been used by,aniniais during parturition. . Then prepare your whitewash and don't postpone it because you do not possess a barrel spraying,outfit. The whitewash brush is an effective and efficient tool -use -it. Small brushes are best and may take you a little longer time to do. There are many good whitewash recipes. - President Grant used the• following ,to white- wash the White House in Washing- ton; Take a bushel of'unslaked lime, slake with warm water, cover it dur- ing uring the process to retain the steam, strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer; add a peck . of salt, the same previously, well dissolved' m warm water, add three pounds of ground rice belled to • a thin paste and stir. in boiling hot, add one-half pound of 'glue -which has been 'pre- viously pre-viously aisgolved-over a slow fire &Al add five gallons df hot water to the mixture; stir well and let it Stand for a few days, covering it up' to keep out dirt. It should be put on • hot, One pint of the mixture, properly ap- plied will cover a square yard. ,There • is nothing can compare it for outside or inside work and it, retains its brilliancy for many years. Dia- • infectant may be added or coloring matter may be put in- and made to any hue desired. -Prof.' J. Evans, 0. A. College, Guelph. Live Stock Scarce In Europe.
