The history of the Aiken murder is
familiar to many Of our readers. Two
Aiken brothers, man named Buck
and several others were returning East
from California in 1866, when they
were stopped here by tho MorIaons,
and after being robbed Of many thou
sand dollars in gold, were ordered out
OF the Territory. They took tho
Southern route back to California, be-
ing escorted by Porter Rockwell and
other Mormon cut throats. On reach
ing the Sevi0r river they were set upon
in the night and wounded, but succeed.
od in making their escape back TO
Nephi, where they were robbed Of their
fire arms and watches, and started back
20 Salt Lake as passengers aboard of .
Mormon elders wagon. North Of Neplsf
they were halted near n barn, from
which the wounded men were shot and
killed, aud their bodies were thrown
into u bottomles spring near by.

wERDING OFT THE UNPROFTrARLE
cows.

If any class Of farmers need "linc up
on limo" to induce them 10 SEQ tho road
TO success, it is tho dairymen. They
keep COWS for the supposed profit thcy
bring. and they live in blissful igno-
rance that they are doing this labor for
amusement; yet they seldom make an
inquiry into the actual performance of
individual cows They make no effort
to separate the good from the unprofta-
bic. To largo class Of dairymen n
COW is a COW, and they do not like to
make an invidious discrimination 40
they 60 on, year after year, keeping COWS
that do not pay for tho food they cat
We have often cndeayored 10 rouse lai-
rymen 10 the necessity of testing the
performance of individual cows, for il is
serious loss To keep five or ten cows,
perhaps one-half Of the herd that do not
return compensation tor the food thoy
cat. We have known several herbs
that paid so poor "a return that tho own
ers became discouraged, and concluded
that dairying must usually be carried
on without reasonable profit; but by
testing the individual yield and quality
of these herds, it was found, in one case.
that the loss was made on three cows
out Of eight, tho five paying rcasona-
bio profit, while tho three poor ones
sunk this. In another case, eight cows
sunk the profit on twenty. There is
seldom herd Of twenty cows that docs
not contain some that pay good profit,
and few herds, comparatively, of that
number, that do not contain ono or
more that are kept ut loss. The Sc
lection of cows should bc considered one
of the first practical principles Of dairy
ing The COW is the machine to work
out the dairyman's profit, and If he is
quite careless in tho selection Of this
machine he cannot expect success.
Now, il is very easy for every dairy
man to tcst the yield, pounds, of each
COW, by weighing the milk Of each COW
separately one day in week, or even
ono day in two weeks. All these weigh
ings added together, and divided by the
number Of weighings, will give practi-
cally the average daily yield Of the COW,
and this multiplied by the number of
days she has given milk will give her
yield per season. Then the quality may
be tested by setting portion Of the
milk of each COW, after mingling, 30 as
10 get an average quality, in glass tum-
bier These tumblers, all being Of one
height, will hold the same depth of milk
When the cream rises the glass will
show its depth and color. This will en-
able the dairyman to see just what quail
ity of milk each COW gives, and, having
got the quantity in the weighings, he is
now prepared to determine the cows he
wants 20 sell.-Nationai lire Stock

The Truckeo judiciary is in guam
dairy. All Toon is being examined for
the murder of Lee Limb, and the
case assumes queer phase. 1t is in
evidence that Charley Lock shot Lee
Limb, and tho medical experts say the
wound caused instantaneous death.
All Toon rushed out of Chinese cab
in as Lee Limb was falling, and strucka
knife into thethedead man'sthigh. Que
ry-W Whereis All Toon'scrimel There is
noevidenceof previousplotting, so he is
not accessory bofore the factnor is there
anything to prove that he is accessory
after the fact. He did not help muir
der Lee Limb, for the latter was
dead at the time All Toon made The
assault. 1t is not assault with intent
to kill, for the killing was complete
prior to the knife stroke. 1t is not
mutiIation of corpse, because the In
tent is lacking, inasmuch as All Toon
thought Lee Limb was living. II
might be malicious mischief, but il
isn't. As in medicine, patient some

Have Faced Death Go the End.

The Chicago Times, which has been
exceedingly fullof reports from thefever-
stricken cities Of the South, SAYS:
"The singular truth appears that from
the outbreak of the fever at Grenal
through its ravages in New Orleans,
Memphis, .Vicksburg, Greenville and
in many smaller towns. it has never
been charged that clergyman of amy
denomination fled from his charge or
failed to do his duty. Some fathers
haye left their families, some doctors
have run away from their patients, but
there is not single instance reported
from the beginning of the plague until
to-day, of any representative of any
form of religious belief deserting his
post Hardly day passes in which
some clergyman or some Sister has not
given up life while in the discharge of
the tenderest offices. 1t is record in
the presence of which the bitterest
blasphemer cannot find it in his heart
to jeer or gibe. 1t is manifestation
of practical religion that touches every
heart The devotion has been confined
to no sect. Catholic and Protestant,
jew and Gentile and even Buddhist
have faced the danger unhinchingly,
and have brlved it to the bitter end.

THE rorE wHo WAS 4 JE,s.

One of tie most romantic traditions
Of the middle ages was that Pope
turned ont to have been jew Of
Mainz. The old story, as recorded by
the Rabbins, and still believed by many
Jews IN the Fast, was translated by
Mr. Chenery, just before he left his Ar
abic chair at Oxford for the sanctum Of
Of the London Times. Bat have not
before me the volume of the Society
Of Hebrew Literature" which contains
it, and can only refer TO it from mem
ory. 1t relates to one Of the Innocents,
and may have grown out Of his having
offered his protection to the Jews. The
story runs that the family of the most
distinguished jew in Mainz employed a
Christian woman to make fires for them
on the Sabbath, and that she stole away
the child and had him baptized the
priests had him educated, and IN course
of time ho became Pope. He was
aware Of bis origin, and longing to see
his father, devised some measure con-
eerning the Jews OF his native town,
which he knew would compel them to
send deputation to Rome, which
would naturally include his father
Then, while playing a game Of chess
with the old man, he disclosed himself.
1t was believed that he not only pro-
tected the Jews in every way, but left
a book in which he enjoined on his sue
cessors to do the same, and related the
story Of his birth and abduction
book concealed in the Vatican at the
present time.-M. D. Coa,oay.

DR. DE HAssE, American Consul at
Jerusalem, in a letter to an Omaha pa
per, gives the details of his tour around
the world in the remarkable quick time
Of sixty eight days. The journey from
Alexandria, Egypt, via Brindisi and
Paris to London, and thence To New
York and San Francisco, was accom-
plished in twenty days, just the same
number Of days in going from San
Francisco to japan. The crossing to
Canton, in China, took six days. A
sail Of ten days over the China Sea and
through the Straits of Malacca brought
him to Ceylon, and thence, few hours
by rail, to Alexandria, his starting
point, making the distance Of $4,000
miles-l6, 900 by water, and 5000 on
land--in 6s days, without any accident
or detention Of any kind.

DEATH OF GENERAL PILLOW.

General Gideon j. Pillow died at his
residence in Arkansas, few days ago.
He was born in Williamson county,
Tennessee, June s, 1906, and studied
law at Nashville, where he became em-
inent as a lawyer. In 1874 he was del
gate to the National Democratic Con-
vontion at Baltimore, and warmly ad-
vocated the nomination Of James X.
Polk for President. lie was made a
Brisadier- General in the war with Mex
leo. lie conducted the negotiations for
the capitulation of Vera Cruz, bore the
brunt Of the battle at Cerro Gordo, and
distinguished himself at Churubusco,
Chapultepec and Molino del Rey.
Having become involved in difficulty
with General Scott at the close Of the
war, he was subjected TO n court-martial,
and honorably acquitted. He then retir-
ed from the Army and devoted himself to
the management of his vast estate in
Tennessee. In 1850, he was member
of the Nashville Convention, and made
an able speech in opposition to the ul-
tra-Southern stand taken by some of
the delegates. When the civil war
broke out he was true to his native
State, raised Regiments in brief time,
took active part in the Confederate
cause, and freely gave fortune and his
best service to the Richmond Govern
mont. Since the war he has lived in
honorable retirement. General Pillow
was of handsome, dignifed, noble bear
ing, an ardent friend, magnanimous
foe, and commanded the respect of all
who knew him. He was q good type
of the genuine southern gentleman, and
his death is deeply mourned throughout
that whole section.
