Correspondence Of THE LEADER.
FoRT SCorT, KS. April 2T.-As many
of my old friends are DESTROYS of knowing
what success have had in the poultry
business i'll Kansas, | give you my exper-
fence. Over a year ago ! made two very
crude hatchers, designed from some good
points of several | had seen. | filed
them with eggs and they worked fairly
well. | kept them going from December
| to June /, clearing from them $3.50 over
and above everything, and that too in
spite of the high price of feed and the
fact that my chickens were all marketed
at low prices. The highest price | got
was Sc a dozen and the lowest 81. 10.
During that time | attended to my regu
lar business. Believing this was a good
return for the amount of work | began to
look around for a more perfect hatcher
and my attention was directed to the
Common Sense. In June | got direc-
tons from j. VI. Balm, New Concord,
Ohio. He is secretary of the n. A. Poul-
try association and will send directions for
making this hatcher to any one sending
him three twO-cent stamps to prepay post
age, | had one made that held 80 eggs.
1t cost about s.. My success with this
hatcher was all | could wish for and |
Immediately had four more made. From
these hatchers | have Just taken 1890 fine
chickens out of Il little less han l,2OO
,. l,E.-. - u
when | say that | hope to clear 81, 500 by
July next and still pursue my usual bust
ness. There is no business as profitable
as this, provided one gives it the attention
it deserves, and no business requires as
little capital to start OH. There is no ne
cessity of men trying to hide this business
or m~onopolize it. The field is the world,
and the world, like Oliver Twist. is still
crying out for more. There are thous-
ands of young men who are teachers and
clerks who look forward to the time when
they can get Il start in some lucky way.
This way is here open for them if they
will only improve by it. Thousands of
young women too, who feel dependent ON
some father or brother, who in one year
could place themselves high above any de
p%endence, if they only would. Get di-
r]ections and make your hatchers immedi
ately, you can make them yourselves.

DIES MONIES, la, April 2S.-Informa-
ton has been received here of i brutal
murder of Herman Jefferson, near Auda-
bon. that state. Jefferson, a harmless
old farmer of 65 years, and his wife lived
on a farm. Saturday night four men en-
tered their bed room, dragged them from
bed, pulled the old mans hair and wills
kers out by the roots, wrapped his shirt
about his head, dragged him to Il tree in
the yard and hanged him to Il limb of the
tree, then rode away Mrs. Jefferson
anne to the door and.tried to alarm the
neighbors, the nearest Of whom lived 400
yards away, but the murderers stopped
her with threats of hanging her also.
There is no clue to the perpetrators of the
murder as it was too dark for Mrs. JelIer
son to recognize them. Jefferson was an
old man and quite lame. He was limo
%tensIye, and there are strong suspicious
that ONE of his family are mixed up in
the murder. His daughters husband, a
man by the name of John Smythe, who
is a hard character, is freely charged
with the crime. 1t is also supposed that
the old mans own son, Cicero, was one
of the party who did the hanging. The
family is not a bright one, and the son is
said to be almost foolish and Just such u
man as could be persuaded to do such a
deed. The whole country is aroused and
if the men arg caught there will probably
be a hanging without 4 trial. Audubon
is forty or fifty miles west of this point
and no news has been received to-day re-
garding the outrage.
CHICAGO, April 2S.-The Daily Necs,
Des Moines, Ia, gives the following ad-
ditional particulars of the Jefferson muir
der: The old man had two sons-in-law,
Smythe and Wilson, and an unmarried
daughter. \ short time ago Smythe ac-
cused the old man of unnatural intimacy
with the unmarried daughter, and a
short time after this the daughter and
son Cicero went to live with Smythe.
When the murderers reached the bedside
the old man said, What are you doing
here, Cicero p mo, it's Smythe, - said
Mrs. Jefferson. As soon as she could
escape Mrs. Jefferson went to alarm the
neighbors, but they seemed afraid to 90
the house until after daylight, when the
body of the old man was found, hang
ing to a tree with the toes touching the
ground. A coroner's inquest was held
and a verdict of murder rendered against
Cicero Jefferson and Smythc. The Sheriff
has arrested Cicero, Smythe, and Wilson,
the other son-in law, Great indignation
is expressed and lynching is spoken of.

This painful experiment was suggested by
