A MOTHER'S CRIME.
Three Orphans Killed to Save
Them From Starving,


New YokK, Feb. 26.-The trial of
Mrs. Lebkuchner for the murder of her
two children, was called yesterday. The
story is simple one. The woman was
left widow with three young children.
She could not earn enough for their
support. She saw them literally starry
ing before her eyes. With her last few
cents she bought dose of poison and
poisoned all three. Two died almost
Immediately. but the other fingered.
She sat for two days with the dead
bodies. waiting for the third child to
die. Then she notified the police. The
living child was taken to the hospital
and eventually recovered. The woman
acknowledges her crime. She does not
seem to be insane: she says she killed
the children because it was better they
should die at once than slowly starve to
death. The trial went over till to-day,
so that expert testimony might he had
on the Woman's mental condition.

Psoriasis years, covering face,

My disease (psoriasis} first broke out on my

most covering my face. 1t ran into my eyes,
and the physieiaa was afraid would lose my

tirely bald headed: it then broke out on my
arms and shoulders. until my arms were just
one sore. 1t covered my entire body, my
face, head and shoulders being the worst.
The white scabs fell constantly from my
head, shoulders and arms; the skin would
thicken and be red and very itchy, and would
crack and bleed if scratched. After spending
many hundreds of dollars. was pronounced
incurable. / heard of the CUTFsURA RENE

dreadful disease from which had suffered
for five years. I thought the disease would
leave very deep scar, but the CUTrcURA

not express with a pen what suffered before
using the CuTIoURA REMEDIES. They saved
my life, and feel it my duty to recommend

OUR COUNTY FAIRS.

An examination of the official list pub
lished by the state board of agriculture
reveals the fact that sixtyfour county
fairs are held in Kansas this fall. This
is not bad showing, but it might be
better. In Kansas there are 1916 coun-
ties, IN more than three-fourthS OF which
and In all those lying east of the sixth
principal meridian-fairs should be held
every year. There is an abundance of
material for successful exhibitions every
year, and the fact that they are not held
regularly in some counties, and in others
not at ALL reflects seriously upon the en-
terprise of those counties.
Some counties could not make q cred
liable display, says one. a fair need not
material wealth Of county. While it
is proper for the older coun-
ties to make such an exhibit
ton for advertising purposes, and
for the pleasures to be derived from
feasting the eyes on a grand collection
of farm products, the new counties OF
the western part of the state should hold
these exhibitions for an entirely differ
ent purpose-that of instruction. Every
fair should be a kindergarten, and the
teachers should be the farmers who are
able TO make the best display. Methods
should be compared, probable causes of
success or failure stated, and a general
experience meeting follow. The sue
cessful farmer should have no secrets as
TO methods or varieties, but give his less
fortunate brother the benefit of his ex-
perienCe, and at the same time try to
impress upon him the fact that old-time
methods are being abandoned; that
brains are the successors of luck on the
farm: that reading, thinking, and care
full experimenting are necessities not lux
uries in which his richer neighbor alone
can afford to indulge.
There ought to be a common interest
in a fair. 1t should be of the county, for
the county-for the people Of both town
and country. The sturdy farmer who
withholds his patronage from what he
terms an agricultural boss trot might
accomplish wonders in looking after the
interests of the strictly farm department
of the exhibition; while the horsamen
should be encouraged TO make their part
of the show worth looking at. II there
be races,-and there always will be in
with fairs,-let them be good
races, fairly conducted, with pool-selIing
prohibited. LIST every department, from
the curio corner in art hall TO the chick
en- and duck coops, be full, and each De
