Walter H. .Lennox-Maxwell,C ,Charged
With Killing his Room-mate
at m St Louis Hotel.

On March 3lst last two young En-
glishmen registered at the Southern
Hotel st. Louis under the names
Maxwell and Preller, both Of London.
They were assigned to the same room.
Both disappeared from the city on
April 8. Eight days after, the servants at
the hotel found mutilated body in
trunk, in the room which the young
men had occupied. The theory adopt
ed To explain the mystery was, that
Maxwell had murdered Preller by pois-
on and had disposed of his body in the
manner indicated. This seemed the
more reasonable as Maxwell was traced
to San Francisco, where he took ship
for New Zealand, as il in a hurry to get
away. His arrest at Auckland, New
Zealand, was ordered by cable, and a
coroner's jury found verdict in accor
dance with the supposed facts of the
case. When, on May 4, Maxwell ar
rived at Auckland, he was arrested. The
necessary authority for his extradition
was received two days later. On May
81, detectives left this country to bring
the prisoner back. He WAS landed in
due time, and is now awaiting his trial
on the charge Of numbering Preller.
Unusual public interest has been man
ifested in the facts briefly summarized
in the proceeding paragraph. While
many hold that the theory of the po.
lice is correct one, it is held by Others
that Preller is yet alive, and that the
body found in the trunk was that of
"stiff" which Maxwell had bought.
1t seems that the accused man had
| been "a medical student, and bad been
trying to buy a corpse before the time of
the CHASTITY discovery at the hotel.
Moreover, every now and then reports
are given to the press that Preller has
been seen alive since the discovery OF
his alleged remains. Maxwell, who is
decribed As vain and talkative person,
maintains his usual flow of good spirits,
and apparently apprehends no serious
trouble from the accusation hanging
over his head. Possibly the opinion
that he will battle the prosecution by
proving PIeller to I've still alive,is better
grounded than now appears. Whether
or not, in case Preller shall not turn up,
the prosecution will be able to secure
the conviction of Maxwell, is prob
lem exercising the public mind very
generally, and developments are eager
ly awaited.

NY Roy, do You Smoke
IScientiflc American.l


The United States Navy annually
takes into its service a large number of
apprentice boys, who are sent all over
the world and taught to be thorough
sailors, II has been the policy of the
government since the war to educate
the "blue jacket" upon the principle
that the mole intelligent a man is, the
better sailor he is likely to become.
There are no lack OF candidates for
these positions. Hundreds of boys ap.
ply, but many are rejected because they
cannot pass the physical examination.
Major Houston, one Of the Marine
Corpse, who Is i'm charge of the Wash,
ington Navy Yard barracks, is the au'
thority for the statement that one.
fifth OF all the boys examined are re-
jected on account OF heart disease.
His first question to a boy who de-
sires to enlist il: "Do you smoke?"
The invariable response is, mo, sir"
but the tell-tale deterioration of the
fingers at once shows the truth. The
surgeons say cigarette smoking by boys
produces heart disease, and that in nine
ty/nine cases out ofa hundred the re-
lection of would-be apprentices on ae-
count of this defect comes from exces-
sive Use Of the milder form OF the weed.
This is "A remarkable statement, coming,
as it does, from so high an authority
and based upon the results of actual ex-
aminations going on day after day,
and months after month. 1t should be
a warning to parents that the deadly
cigarette is sure to bring about incalcu-
liable injury to the young. a law pass
ed restricting its Use to the dudes would
not perhaps, bring popular disfavor,
because IL might reduce the number OF
these objects about our streets, but boys
indulgins in the cigarette ought to De

Gated.

We have not had rain since about the

Emerson Rogers & 60. set their

however, they will not have to go to

Mirror and Farmer.l


September is the best month in the
year to go visiting. While other peo-
pie were taking their summer excur/
sions to the moutains or to the beach,
farmers were busy haying; but now
they can rest little. The days are
not so hot as they have been, and the
evenings are not 80 cold as they will
be, and row if you have friends or rela-
tives within a days ride, harness up
and start. Ii Is just the right time to
visit the old homestead and climb the
old black cherry tree, and gather high
top sweeinings in the dewy grass. Sep
tember Is also good time for farmer
to get hints and ideas by seeing what
others are doing. But do not think
you must do a job just because some
one else is at it. Think twice before
you decide where to begin. Estimate

Cure for hog Cholera

Among the hundreds of remedies for
hog cholera is one offered by a writer
10 the Farming World, the method for
which We give as stated:
"Get long neck bottle; put one gill
of milk and half a teaspoonful OF car
bolic acid i'm it. Let one man catch the
hog by the years and set him be-
tween his legs, holding his head up,
another man with a bottle i'm one
hand and short stick in the
other as large as n mans wrist;
put the stick in the animals
mouth crosswise so that he can-
not break the bottle while pouring the
contents down. If they are not well
in week repeat the dose. never
had 10 repeat it. | never separate
them, but if confined In a pen l turn

Temperance im the south.

lSt. Louis Republican,
There Is temperance era, and there
is d perceptible decrease i'm liquor
drinking all over the country, with
the exception, possibly, Of Iowa and
Kansas. In some of the Southern
States the growth of anti liquor feeling
is phenomenal. Two thirds of the
counties in Georgia, and great many
of them in South Carolina, are under
the rule of local prohibition, the people
having decided by local option that
liquor shall not be sold in their midst.
Where the popular feeling is strong
and emphatic against saloons, there
is little or no trouble in enforcing pros
hibition-and, strange to say, this is
the case in Georgia, South Carolina
and parts of Tennessee, Kentucky and
Missouri; and it is no small credit to
the law'abiding spirit in these States
that local prohibition Is quietly sub
mitted to, while in Iowa the State pro-
hibitory law is violently detied in
Kansas, it is l.abitually evaded; in
Ohio, every restriction on saloOn-
keeping provokes a tempest of excite>
ment, and in Maine, prohibition IL said
to be resulting in constant increase of
drunkenness.
Two years ago high'license law was
enacted in Missouri which cut down
the number of saloons in the State
one-third, and three weeks ago IA rig
orous amendment 10 it went into effect,
which, it is estimated, will still, further
reduce the number of saloons i'm st.
Louis one-fifth; yet these enactments,
though attended by many cases of un-
doubted hardship, are enforced without
more than murmur of opposition, and
in the Southern States the voluntary
temperance spirit among the people is
efiecting a broad, deep reformation and
working marked improvement in
popular habits and in the social order.
lnfidels are talking in despairing
way. One has said: After all we
have done for the past thirty years peo-
pie flock to hear these ministers and fill
up their mourners benches and anxious
seats, and give their money, and we
can't get any money for anything"
Yes, friend it was always so. Run
over the history of infidelity, and you
will see your doom Five weeks after
you are dead you will be forgotten, but
the church lives on, for it is founded on
a rock, and it has prevailed, does pre-
vail and will prevail.-New York
advocate.

Governor Martin himself had exonera-
ted the Sheriff" If the Netos will

article was written and published be-
fore Mr.. Cannady's statement ap-
peared. THE REGISTER certainly has
no grudge against Mr.. Cannady, and
is willing to give him the full benefit
of his statement. Wemight add how.
ever, that we are in receipt of a com.
munication from prominent citizen Of
Piqua, which plainly iDtimates that
Mr.. C's. deputies might find it little
more difficult than he did, to explain
everything satisfactorily. We do not
publish the letter because it is libellous
and because the whole matter is one
i'm which no one in Allen comfy is

UPoN inquiry while at the Capital,
we learned that Mr.. Funston was re-
garded there as one of the hardest
working members of the House. His
mail is very large but he gives his per.
sonal attention to every letter. During
the past session he has carried through
a number of pension cases from all
over the district. Among others he
secured a pension of So month for
Jack Sweeten of this place, together
with arrearages to the amount ofS2 ,OS5,
Mr.. Funston also secured an appropri-
alton for public buildings at Fl. Scott.
after great care and skill in handling
the matter. The work of a congress
man that really benefits his constitu-
ents is not always done with his mouth
i'm the House but quietly in the de-
partments. Mr.. Funston seems to
have recognized this and is determined
that his constituents shall be served
whether he wins applause or not.
