HOW'S THIS?
Did Harry Miller and Annie Strom
niger Ever Exist?
And Were They Killed by Runa.
way Near the Railroad on the
Bryan Pike?

Kate Politz of this city tells story which
there is no doubt in the minds of those who
have investigated, is somewhat chimerical.
Her story as told is as follows:
On Tuesday evening of last week Harry
Miller, of Toledo, Kate Politz, of Napoleon,
and Annie Strominger and Will Westerman
of Harrison township composed a quartet
that went from Napoleon and attended
dance near Malinta.
They returned about 9 o'clock next morn
ing and the horses being very warm they
drove out the Bryan Pike in order to cool
them before surrendering to the liveryman.
As they reached the railroad the horses be-
came frightened at the morning train, which
she said was upon them before they knew it,
and ran away.
They had run but a short distance when
the vehicle struck projection aud threw the
occupants out.
After that the narrator can tell only an un-
connected story.
She thinks that several men caught the
horses and conveyed the whole party to Ma
poleon. Another rig was secured and the
two girls and Westerman sent to Annie
Strominger's home in Harrison township.
Miller was left standing on the Miller
House corner and as subsequently developed,
ook the O'Clock train next morning for
Toledo.
When the trio reached Annie Strominger's s
home and doctor at Malinta summoned, it
was discovered that her right leg was broken
and in bad condition. From this and in
ternal injuries she died Wednesday night
and was buried Friday.
This came Katie Politz received letter
from Miller at Toledo saying that he WAS
very sick and asking her to come to him.
She went
She found him with broken arm and in
ternal injuries from which he died and was
buried Saturday.
Such is her story and Notwithstanding we
have investigated the matter thoroughly, no
one can be found with any testimony that
will in any way corroborate her story.
She thinks that Miller had his arm dressed
before leaving Napoleon yet no doctor can
be found in town who did the work; neither
can the liveryman be located who loaned
them the teams; and lastly, there are none in
Napoleon who know family named Strom-
niger living in Harrison township.
Katie Politz is certainly laboring under
some sort of an hallucination, ,or circumstan-
ces seem to have combined to hide from the
public very deplorable accident.
S.--Since the above was in type, facts
have developed-or rather failed to devel-
ope--that stamp the girls story one of the
widest flights of imagination, unknown
even to yellow covered gems in literature.
Her whole story seems to be a complete
tissue of falsehood based ON nothing except
that she might have known fellow at one
time in Toledo who was possibly not feeling
we'll and she got to know of 1t. In her later
narrations, she even pictures pathet tic

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 2. - The
regular Democratic ticket, headed by
Jones, has probably defeated Kolb, In
dependent and Alliance, by majority
ranging from $4,000 to 10000. However,
the remote counties, which are strongly
Kolb, may change the complexion of
things. The legislature is in doubt, as
there will be number of contests. The
usual Democratic majority in Alabama
is about 50, 900. There were no serious
disturbances anywhere. The colored
vote was divided.

[Chicago Inter Ocean,
The purchasing agents of the United
States Government have ordered near
lyone hundred thousand pounds of DR..
Price's Baking Powder in the first five
months of this year, 1892.
The government exercises great care
in selecting its supplies of all kinds, re-
jecting everything that is not of the
best, and the very fact that it has ad-
dopted DR.. Prices Baking Powder is
proof that it has found it the best of all
the baking powders. DR.. Prices is
peculiarly adapted to exports,as neither
long sea voyages nor climatic changes
affect it. This brand keeps fresh and
sweet for years while other baking
powders deteriorate rapidly.
1t is guaranteed to the government
to be a pure cream of tartar powder free
from ammonia, alum and her harm
full substances, and it is also the only
baking powder prepared by a physi-
clan of high standing.

Thanksgiyiny Roast Pig.

Take choice fat pig six weeks old,
not younger, though it may be little
older. Have it carefully killed and
dressed, aud thoroughly washed. Trim
out carefully with sharp, narrow-bladed
knife the inside of the mouth and ears,
cut out the tongue and chop off the end
of the snout. Rub the pig we'll with q
mixture Of salt, pepper and pounded
sage, and sprinkle it rather liberally with
red pepper, and dash outside, too.
Make rich stufiug of bread crumbs
corn bread stufing Is de rigeur for
pig, though you can put half of one and
half of the other inside Of Mr. Piggy if
somebody insists on loaf bread stufhng.
If you use corn bread, have thick, rich
pone of bread baked, and crumble it as
soon as It is cool enough to handle, sea-
son it highly with black and red pepper,
sage, thyme, savory marjoram, minced
onion-just enough to flavor it, and
plenty of fresh butter; 'molsten it well
with stock, cream, or even hot water.
Stuff the pig we'll and sew it up closely.
If you have tin roaster and open fire,
the pig will be roasted by that much
better. If you have not, put the pig in
a long pan and set it in the oven, and
leave the.stove door open until the pig
begins to cook, gradually closing the
poor, 80 that the cooking will not be
done too fast. The pig must be well
dredged with -four when put in the pan.
Mix some -four and butter together in a
plate, and pour about quart of hot
water in tue pan with the pig when it is
put on the fire. Have larding-mop in
the plate of -four and butter, aud mop
the pig frequently with the mixture
while it Is roasting.
If roaster is used, set it about two
feet from the fire at tirst, but continue
to move it nearer and nearer as the pig
cooks. Baste it frequently with the
water in the pan betweenwhiles of mop
ping with flour and butter.
To oe sure the pig is done. thrust a
skewer through the thickest part of him;
If no pink or reddish juice 'oozes out it
is done, and ought to be rich brown
all over. When the pig is done pour
the gravy in saucepan and cook it
sufficiently. This will not be necessary
if the pig was cooked in the stove oven.
The pigs liver may be boiled in we'll
salted water, pouLded up, and added to
the gravy, which should be very savory
and plentiful.
The pig should be invariably served
with baked sweet potatoes and plenty of
good pickle and sauce, either mushroom
or green pepper catsup, for despite his
roast pig is not very safe
eating without plenty of red pepper

When the valet entered the. Duke's bed.
room in the morning he found his master
wing on his back in bed. One OF his arms
was thrown over his chest and his hand was
cIenched above his heart. His face was
serene and he appeared to be asleep. Inc

he noticsd the growing pallor OF the face:
Then he made an attempt to wake him' oue
found he was dead.
IL is supposed that death resulted iro"
heart disease or chloral.
It was evident when the body was found
that life had been extinct several hours.
and that death was painless. Rigor mortls
was then well developed. In view OF tne
suddenuess of the Dukes death, while he
was apparently enjoying good health, a
post-nortem examination OF the remains
was made.

DAY,

With grateful hearts let all give thanks,
All lands all stations, and all ranks:
And the cry comes up along the way,
For what shall we give thanks to-day!
For peace and plenty, busy mills,
''The cattle on thousand hills"
For bursting barns, wherein is stored
The golden grain, precious hoard:
Give thanks!
For orchards bearing rosy fruit.
FOR yielding pod and toothsome root,
And all that God declared was good
81 mill or dale. or field or wood:
Give thanks!
For water bright AMI sweeet and clear,
A million fountains far and near.
9or gracious streamlets lakes, and ri!ls
That flow from everlasting hills:
Give thanks
For summer dews ani timely frost,
The suns bright beams, not one ray lost
For willing hands to SOW the seed
And reap the harvest, great indeed:
Give thanks!
For hearth and home-lovss altar fires
For loving children, thoughtful sires;
For tender mothers, gentle wives,
Who fill our hearts and bless our lives;
Give thanks:
For heavens care, life's journey through.
For health and strength to dare and do,
For ears to hear, for eyes to see
Earth's beauteous things on land and sea:
Give thanks!

when she popped in her mild old head.
There was no need to particulariza. Mrs.
Dotty cast q swift, searching look
around.
"Isn't she herea"
Without waiting for reply, she
turned and ran up the stairs to Bessies

The room was empty.
Hastily she descended the stairs.

Thanksgiving DGy.

Merriment should run rlot on turkey
Day. Let Thanksgiving be night of
rollicking fun for the children, little and
big. In after yeara, when.they are away
from home its influences will linger
around them still. Your son or your
daughter may be kept in the "straight
and narrow way" by the remembrance
of just one happy hone night.
A simple game that even the baby can
almost take part in is called "Fish, flesh
or fowl" The leader must stand and
say to one, "Fish, flesh or fowl" then
if before he has. counted five that one
does not give the name of some fowl ne
must pay forfeit. There is lots of fun
in this game, for in his effort to think of
some fowl quickly one is likely to get
confused and cry out "eels" or "ele-
phants," forgetting that these are un-
likely fowls. The leader must talk
rapidly for. the older folk, but more
SLOWLY for the little ones. 1t will incite
the latter to look up all the available
names of fowl when they know this game
is to be played.
"sMy fathers got home from India
is a game that never failed to bring
down the house in my young days, and
it must have been enjoyable, for after all
these years feel as If I would like to
play it now, if had right merry lot OF
readers about me, writes Palmetto Gold
smith in the American Agricultural.
Seat the children on three sides Of
room, and let the leader sit SO that he
can be seen by all. He must then say,
"My fathers got home from India"
"What did he bring youa" one must
be instructed to ask.
You reply "a FAM" and. then begin
to fan yourself with your hand, which
all must initiate.
Then you repeat the remark about the
return OF your father, and another asks,
"What did he bring you"
1.-TWO FANS" tanning with both hands,
which all must initiate.
To the next q,estiou the answer is,
"Two fans, boot aud a SHOE" which
necessitates that both hands go through
the motion of tanning, while the feet
tap the floor.
To the next you reply. "Two fans,
boot, a shoe and hat" and then the
head must be nodded.
The first one who misses any motion
must pay forfeit, and it is needless to
say that the forfeits are many. 1t is
really good exercise, and after the little
ones have been thoroughly instructed in
games of this kind, they will relieve you
of their care through many busy hour
by playing them among themselves.
