A Cheap Poultry House. and
How 10 Use il.

A house for fifty hens should be 16x24
feet inside. Set up 3x4 posts, eight feet
long, SO as to inclose that space, and out
side of that another row, four feet off.
Nail boards, 1x4 inches, around the out
side and inside-one board even with the
top of the posts, one six inches from the
bottom, and one in the miudle. Let the
posts be about five feet apart. Nail
common plastering lath upright from the
top strip down to the bottom strip and
about six inches apart. Lay for the roof
3x4 from post to post across the room,
not the crib-work; support these by CEN
trail posts, and cover with long, straight
willows, laid quite close. The door and
windows must now be provided for. /
use three hot-bed sashes on one end, and
the light is ample. The frame of the
house is now finished. Fill in the walls
with straw, old hay or any light material
packed down tight cover the whole with
straw or hay, stacked on, and you have
cheap warm house.
Now, If in building this, it is made II
bents, it can be taken down readily, re
moved to new site, the old straw
| thrown away and replaced with new il
a few hours, and you have new, clear
! house. Every spring and fall, burn
pound of birthstone in the house, ano
vermin will be very scarce. Hoe out the
droppings once a week, keep the 1ool
dry, remove the whole building once IL
! three years, and pip, Group, cholera ant
all such will give place to robust healtl
and vigor. Never build palace fol

The journal of August 10th, 1887, con-
tains the modest entry:-'1 this week
received a letter from my friend and my
fathers friend, John Jacob Astor, in
which he consents to loan me, for long
period, the large sum of money which l
had applied for to him. This money will
enable me to rid myself Of pecuniary en-
barrassments, and to extend important

extend indulgence to those who owe me.

West Virginia's Triple Murder
CONFESSION OF JOHN WALLACE.

CONFESSION OF JOHN WALLACE.
WHEELING, w. VA, March 22-This
evening John Wallace confessed that he
murdered the wife and child of George
Wallace. alias Baker, and Miss Church,
near Littleton, a short distance from this
city. He says he went to his brothers
house and told his wife that she must go
to Mrs. Church's, as that lady was sick.
He asked for q hammer and she gave it
to him. Wallace and his brothers wife
started to Churchs, and as Mrs. Wallace
was climbing the fence he struck her
| twice with the hammer on the head,
| which killed her. He then picked up
the child, which was crying. and struck
IL against stone. Death Immediately
followed.
He then went back and told Miss
Church to get him something to eat, and
| as she started out he struck her several
| times with the hammer, which caused
death. He then went home and slept
over night, and gave the alarm next
morning in order to screen himself. He
states that young man named Henry
Villars, had promised to aid in the mur-
der, but did not come to time He stated
that his brother and wife had been talk
ling about him, and his wife and he had
determined to kill the woman. His
reason for killing Miss Church is that he
was afraid she would find out what he
had done. He further states that Nlllars
had at one time had some trouble with
Geo. Wallace, alias Baker, and had of.
fered thirty dollars, if some one would
kill him. The jury rendered verdict
iaccording to the confession. The report
ed trouble between George Wallace, ,alias
Baker, and Villars was Investigated by
Prosecuting Attorney Anley, who dis
charged Villars. The supposition is tina
John Wallace used deception in confess
ing that Villars was implicated, he know
ing that the public knew that Villars ant
: George Wallace, alias Baker, were not ol
livery good terms. John Wallace is con
1 stantly praying, occasionally crying. Th
i victims were buried at. 10 o'clock to
!, day.
