AN AWFUL TRAGEDY,


MARsHFIELD, Mo-, March 12.-News
from reliable source reached here to-day
of a terrible tragedy which recently oc-
Cured in the southern part of Howell
county, this state, An old man had drawn
pension, and $500 OF the money remained
in his possession. He resided on u farm
with his two grown daughters. He had
gone from home and left the money, S4OO
with each of his daughters About dark
Of the night of the murder a stranger APP
peared and desired lodging tor the night,
The young ladies
EXPLAINED THEIR LONELY CONDITION
and refused to entertain the stranger He
persisted, and being quite an elderly man
OF good appearance, the young ladies final
ly consented to let him remain. At bed
time the young ladies repaired to their
apartment in the second story and left the
old gentleman to sleep in a room below.
In the latter part of the night he was
awakened by u noise upstairs as if some
one were strangIing, and being armed with
a revolver, he proceeded cautiously up the
STAIRS and to the door Of the room in
which the young ladies had retired When
at the door of the room he discovered
THE FORM OF MAN
in the room, and at about the same time
the man discovered him, started towards
him and struck at HIM with Il knife but
missed him. Then the old man fired and
the intruder fell dead. The old man then
rushed out of the house, heard chickens
growing and ran in that direction until he
came to the house where he found a woman
sitting by the fire. He explained his mis-.
sion and what he had done. The woman
said, "'rhat is my husband and the uncle OF
the girls; he went there to rob them"
The stranger took a fresh scare, and
STARTED ON A RUN
TO find another house, which he did in
about half u mile. The ncghborhood was
alarmed and posse gathered, and before
daylight they were at the scene of the
tragedy.
The uncle was found dead on the floor
with the eight hundred dollars in one hand
and the knife in the other. The two young
ladies were found in bed with their throats
cut. The villanous uncle obtained en-.
trance by means of ladder through one of
the upper windows.

BONE FOR FowLs.-Lewis Wright Of
London, in his celebrated Book Of Poultry,
makes special mention OF the value OF
bone dust and bone meal, and considers u
one of the most valuable of all known aids
to the successful rearing of poultry. Lay
inc fowls need bone constantly. as 1t Is
largely made up of material which enters
into the composition of eggs and shells,
and besides contains animal matter OF
great value to the fowls when freshly
ground. For old birds. bone may be fed
in the form of finely ground meal. mixed
with soft food or coarsely ground into bits
the size of kernel of corn, or smaller.
In the latter form the hardest fragments
perform double purpose by assisting the
gizzard for time. with its grinding opera
tions. For this purpose, ground oyster
shells are also exceedingly valuable. and
the very hard and fiinty fragments do good
service from the time they are eaten until
fully digested. Bone matter contains
great deal of real nutriment, and saves its
value (when bought at reasonable rates) in
other food.
The large fowls, Brahmas. Cochins, etc.
are subject to leg weakness, and every
breeder of the Asiatics knows how this
difficulty has often troubled his best tiocks
and puzzled his brain to learn the cause
prevention and cure. Wright states thai
bone dust Ozone meaD is almost sure
prevention for the difficulty, and should
always be used as a preventive.
But by far the most important use to-
bone meal is one that interests alike al
who raise fowls for market, and on thi
point Wright is very positive in his state
ments. The matter amounts to positive
knowledge with him, for he performed
careful experiments to ascertain the exac
facts, and always with the same results
From these experiments we learn that al
kinds of domestic poultry, and even hog
aud other four footed stock may be mai
10 grow larger size by the use OF bon
meal, and that the difference is very ma
terial. The cause he explains thus: In
bone supply must come from those kind
of food largely made up of bone making
materials, and when fed in considerable
quantities, as when pure, raw bone mes
is used, has the effect to keep the bones {
the fowl or animal in soft or GROWN
condition longer than without its use, an
therefore to postpone the period OF tn
homes setting or becoming hard. Ate
the bones are hard the increase in the sl7
, of the fowl may be termed development
previous to that it is actual growth

learned from an old Methodist minister
an easy, cheap and effectual plan to keep
sheep from getting over stone walls. 1t is
to divide the skin on the cord above the
gambrel joint and put the knife into the
slit and cut the main cord clean off. 1t is
no more painful to the sheep than to cut
out piece of skin when shearing. At
first the gambrel joint will go down to
the ground, but in six months or a year
the leg will stay up straight, but they will
never Jump fences after the cord is once
cut. l have tried it, and it is equal to
cutting the top of hogs snout in improv-
ing their manners. ID. 4. Barker, Gene
see Co., N. Y. Professor Law thinks this
would be far less painful than ringing
pigs, and doubtless effectual.-Ed.
We sometimes wish we had command
of language-when occasion arises where
we would like to express ourselves in
terms as emphatic as the subject demands,
and this is an occasion of just that kind.
The atrocious barbarity which can sug-
gest such an operation, and then seek to
bolster it up by giving the source as an
"old Methodist minister" demands a
freedom of utterance, vigor of express
sion to which we feel ourself quite unequal,
and our poverty of language is painful to
US. At first we are informed that it is
"no more painful than to cut out piece
Of skin in shearing;" just a flea bite, a
most trivial thing. But he mentions Incl
dentally that "at first the gambrel joint
will 90 down to the ground;" really quite
curious result from so slight cause as
-stringing,-the support of half the
body cut away and the animal hobblng
about on its gambrels. Very funny, isn't
itP If this should occasion any trifing in
convenience to the animal-if there should
be the least of a sensation of discomfort in
this large cord trying to connect and while
the animal is trying to hobble about grow
together again, it is merely temporary-a
trifle of six months or at most a year,
when the leg will stay up straight again.
