Price, who was married last August, was
shot dead Saturday night at the home by
Charles Il. Bovden of San Francisco,
who then made desperate attempt to
end his own life.
Bowden went to Mrs. PRICES house,
and, whom she opened the door, seized
her, and after firing three shots, lodged
the fourth in her heart. Just as the last
shot was fred her husband appeared and
caught her as she fell. He then dubbed
Bowden with the pistol, after the latter
had put bullet into bis own neck.
Bowden will probably die. He wrote
a statement before the shooting, claiming
that Mrs. Price was his wife, but it is
thought that he had paid attentions to
her and was enrsged over her marriage,
of which he had only recently heard.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the great
statlsitcian in the east and The Fort
Dodge Messenger in the west have
undertaken the pleasing task of
convincing the farmer that he is
really great deal better off than
he was in 1880, in spite of his pre-
sent gloom.
Mr.. Atkinson cheerfully shows
how labor saving machinery has
entered farm gates and cheapened
production and lightened the load
OF the agriculturist. He has not to
hire so many s'hands" as he used
to. He has no more to wear his
back out at corn hoeing. Machinery
does this. Moreover, there is
sweeping reduction in the price OF
farm machinery al around. Its
prices are 80 to so per cent. below
what they were ten years ago. and
the machinery itself is in many
ways vastly superior to what it was
then.
Now comes the Messenger with
its army of digits and ciphers. The
things the farmer buys are in price
away below what they were in 1880.
Barbed wire has fallen from ten to
four cents . pound, and nails from
S. keg to $3.50, steel CUES at that.
Groceries, clothing, crockery and
boots and shoes have all declined
anywhere from IS to 20 per cent.
Even those world renowned sbitters"
which, time out of mind, the rural
Let has taken every spring to "clear
she blood" are far cheaper than
they we're il 1880. On the other hand
Of articles the farmer sells the only
commodities that he gets less for
now than be did il 1850 ore oats,
cattle and butter. Other products
average the same or are higher.
Now, the farmer can con these
statements over and decide which Is
correct.

The Easton Democrat is jubilant
over the Eastern Shore railroad,
which is promised to be- completed
on or before the 1st of September.
ssThat the opening Of the Baltimore
3 Eastern Shore Railroad. "says the
Democrat, will bring to the Eastern
Shore new era of progress and
prosperity is in our opinion no
exaggertion. The railroad passes
through st. Michaels, Preston,
Vienna and Barren Creek, all of
which lacked railroad facilities;
while to Esston, Salisbury and
Ocean City additional train service
will be afforded, the need of which
was greatly felt" 70 hope the peo-
pie Of the Easton Shore will realize
all the benefits claimed for the road
by the friends of the road.
