BIRMINGHAM Ala, August 24.-[Special.l-
A mysterious and sensational crime has just
been unearthed in Lamar county, near the
Mississippi state line. From the meagre par
ticulars received tonight the affair seems to be
about IS follows:
Some time last winter Owen Savage, q
wealthy farmer, mysteriously disappeared, and
nothing was heard of him until few days ago,
when skeleton was found in a cave a few
miles from the Savage residence, and was
identified as that Of the missing man. The de-
tective, who found the skeleton,
claims to have secured enough
evidence to convict Mrs Savage
and her son by q former marriage, Frank
Owens, of the crime, and Mrs. Savage and
Owens fled before warrants could be secured
for their arrest.
The motive for the crime and tho cause of
its discovery are as follows: Eight or nine
years ago Savage married a Mrs. Owens, who
had one son, then a lad of fifteen. No children
were born of the marriage, and it is said Saw

in the house, having no faith in banks. When

| it, and, in addition to advertising
for him extensively, employed detectives to

DANGER FROM 4 Ely BITE.

The beautiful Mrs. Schuyler Walden, wife
of the late Grin S. Baldwin. who until yester-
terday lay at deaths door from fly bite, can
not be blamed for disliking flies in future.
Mrs Walden had been spending part of the
summer in Staten Island but was not there
long before she was bitten by lily in the neck.
The part affected swelled and the pain annoyed
her. but not much attention was paid TO il I'M

acquaintance with the cards and how to
manipulate them. Speaking of these clubs
reminds me of raid we once made. The
members of the club, according to the act
of incorporation, we thought would natur-
ally be- sitting about the room reading
papers or books and possibly smoking
cigars. but we had information to the con-
trary, and when game of poker was in
full blast we went to the house. At the
door we found colored man whose duty it
was to admit only members of the club.
We asked him to unlock the door, but he
refused. We grabbed him, and in the
struggle for the possession of the
key the negro got near bell
which connected with the club room,
and he gave it vigorous pull. That was
sufficient warning, and the cards and chips
on the table were thrown in an iron safe,
but in doing so some of them fell to the
floor and gave the game away. When we
arrived in the room the members had be-
fore them number of books and were look
ing at some pretty pictures. They met for
mutual improvement and social intercourse.
Many such raids have been made, but all
with the same result"

Earns Her Living Teaching Whist.


Seated at little table writing letters is
the little lady who calls this her office.
Miss Wheelock is one of the busiest women
IN Milwaukee. She was the pioneer in the
west in establishing a ladies' purchasing
agency, and now sends out tons of mer-
chandise every month. She is also one of
three ladies in the country who make a
business Of teaching the game of whist. She
is said to be one of the most brilliant whist
players in the United States, and is recog-
nized authority on the subject, having
written books on whist for several railroad
companies for issuance in book form.
Miss Wheelock is a pleasant-featured
frail-looking little woman, but those who
know her say that she is possessed of re-
markable pluck and energy. Some years
clerked in Chapman's store. While there
she conceived the idea of taking a claim in
Dakota and put her plan into execution,
going to that territory with girl compan-
ion, taking presumption and living on the
claim for eight months. Upon her return
she conceived the plan of a ladies purchas-
ing agency and at once proceeded to carry
it out. Later she began teaching whist
classes, also with remarkable success.
Though she has been engaged in this rather
odd occupation considerably less than two
years, she has had 1913 pupils and is about
to extend her sphere in this direction by
teaching classes in Chicago two days in
each week. 1t is undoubtedly largely due
TO the stimulus her teaching of whist has
given to the interest in the game that
Milwaukee has become such a whist center.
The Milwaukee Whist Club is the largest
in the west, and sol is the Ladies' Whist
Club, which will be reorganized this
winter.

There is more gambling going on in this

powerless to act, because the places in which
it is practised are legalized, and under the
decision of the courts such places cannot be

the games. The gambling done now is ten
times worse than formerly. 1t is true that
there are no such games as faro banks and

some OF these boys. They make their COM

We call at the rooms where the gambling is
reported and learn that there is an incopor-
ated club or a license to engage in any
gambling games they please. First the

on the rolls, and in many cases he is either

LOVE FOR YOUNG MEN
Evidenced in the Works of the
Savior

Father Fitzpatrick preached the SER
mon at the Cathedral yesterday, taking
for his text these words: young man,
| say unto thee, arise. and he that was
dead began to speak" Said the
speaker: "a more striking or beautiful
narrative is not to be found in all the
gospels than the one just related. The
scene of the occurrence was at a place
called Main. situated at the foot of the
Mt. Tabor. When our Savior approached
the gates were thrown open, and He at
once perceived the sad spectacle of the
burial of a young man. The resurrec-
ton of the young man to life figured in
the resurrection of the soul to life of
grace. When the soul revoltS against it's
creator it becomes an instrument of its
own infidelity, and contains moth
ing in itself but death. CONVEX
sions that are sudden and uneX-
pected are invariably interesting and
cOnsoling. 1t is for this reason that the
conversion of Saul. who was great
sinner. has such hold on our Sympath-
les. Such conversions give us hope and
encouragement. But among all con-
versions there are none more cOnSOling
than those of young men. The history
of many young man is that, reared in
good home he at length attains the
age of manhood. His reason opens out,
and he analyses now before accepting.
IT'S a perilous age. The idea of indie
pendence seiZes him, and he rushes out
into the world, filed with all the ardent
aspirations of his youthful nature. He
soon finds his heart divided between a
life pure and a life defiled, life of
goodness and a life OF iniquIty.
There is a struggle within him. He
will soon find that friendship is an idle
word; that generosity is hard to find
out; that vice is often concealed behind
a mask of virtue. He struggles nobly,
but in the end becomes imprudent, COM
mits one sin, which leads to another,
and so he begins on the downward
grade. Such is the moral history of
the Young man. Our Savior manifested
his love for young men on many occa-
sions, and seemed to have special af-
lection for them.

BEN SNIPEs' EXPERIENCE.
He Has Had Lots of Fun, But Is

times and the cattle business generally.

range at night are in the slaughter house

sILO FILLING
Said to Be the First in the Red
River Valley.

The editor of the Moorhead News one
day the past week to witness the inter-
.esting work of filling silo, the first
one probably every filed in Clay
county, if not in the Red River valley.
w. r. Tanner last spring planted about
twenty acres of ensilage corn, with the
express purpose of raising fodder for
his stock. 1t has attained vigorous
growth, and although the frost of the
18th inst. Drowned the leaves, the stalks
are green and unhurt. The corn is cut
near the ground by hand, loaded into
hay rack and hauled to the place where
the cutter is stationed. We may de-
scribe the work as follows: The silo, or
place where the ensilage is stored, is
built inside the barn. The floor is taken
out and tight bin built up from the
ground to near the roof. Its dimensions
are 10 feet wide, so feet long and IS feet
high, and it is estimated to hold $50 tons.
1t, is boarded up with double thickness
of boards, the outside boards tapping
the cracks of the inside, with building
paper between. The ensilage cutter,
which is made by the Belle City Manu-
featuring company, Racine, Wis, and
costs about $50, without the elevator
which costs S1.70 per foot, is set up on
platform outside the barn, at height
even with the wagon, so that man can
conveniently pass the corn therefrOm to
the man who feeds the machine. The
cutter is run by a threShing engine. The
corn is cut in pieces hardly an inch
long. and it runs on belt in the eleva-
tor into the barn and is emptied at the
top of the bin. The capacity of the cut
ter is from six to
TEN TONS AN HOUR
rhr.l hi e. Il AAI i,,fD -f- k0
facilitate the filling. The enSilage is
and the first day only three feet can be
put in with safety. 1t requires thirty
six hours to heat, and reaches a temper
AZURE of 125 TO $50 degrees. The next
filling may be five feet, and so continu-
ing, alternating the bins and filling five
feet per day. 1t is said that the ensil-
age will come out of the bin in the win
ter when it is extremely cold out of
doors at temperature of ninety de-
grees. The heating process which it
undergOeS when first put in preserves
the material, and it will remain green
and fresh for long time. Forty pounds
a day is about what single animal will
eat. All kihds of stock are fond of it,
and it will save large amounts of hay.
The stalks have to be handled by the
armful. Therefore device for getting
into the wagon conveniently is essen
tial. Mr.. Tanner read in some book
that this can be done by putting the for
ward wheels of a wagon Oh behind and
the hind wheels forward, which lowers
the rear end. To this is arranged a
plank, one end of which is held at the
tail of the wagon by rope, the other
resting on the ground. Thus man
with his arms full of ensilage can walk
up into tine wagon and load it. 1t works
very successfully.
MIR. Tanner will only put portion of
his enSilage in silo, and will cut and
shock the remainder. He is much
pleased with the working of the machin-
cry and the general result so far Oh
tanned of his first attempt at the bust
ness
