THAT WOMAN WHIPPING CASE.
II Was n Cowardly and Unwarranted
Fleece of Cruelty.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Aug. Especial.
Ali is chaos at Borden over the cow
ardly white-capping of Mrs. Elijah Dali
ton, the defenseless woman who was
overpowered by six masked men and
taken to a stable near her residence
Monday night and numerically and
cruelty switched.
Strange as it seems, not a person has
yet been found who can give informa-
ton that will in any way lead to the
apprehension of the regulators. Mrs.
Dalton was not guilty Of a crime that
would warrant such an unnatural pro-
ceeding Her crime, if it may be called
such. was the leaving of her husband
on account Of domestic unpleasantness.
She went to her home in Washington,
but decided to return to Borden hoping
a reconciliation with her husband could
be formed. She was denied admittance
by her husband, but she thwarted his
movements and finally gained her point.
1t is now believed that intimate friends
of Dalton are the real perpetrators.
This is the first case Of white-capping
ever enacted in Clarke county, and the
affair is all the more disgraceful be-
cause the victim was a woman. Mrs.
Dalton is still confined to her bed.

Poultry Experiments.

The report Of the Canadian experiment
farms contains an account Of the treat
ment of the poultry on trial. the number
Of eggs laid by different breeds, incu-
baton trial, treatment of chickens, pres
ervation Of eggs, etc. Feeding trials at
the farm have led to the following con-
illusions:
1. No hens should be kept over two
years, because after that age they moult
so late that the prospective profit is
eaten up before they begin to lay.
2. No sOft-shelled eggs were laid by
the pulletS, showing that they are not
as likely to do so as the old stock, and
that the daily mixing of coarse sand,
fine gravel and sifted oyster shells in
small quantities has a preventive ten
dency.
3. No eggs or feathers having been
eaten to date of writing, the regular
supply Of ground meat, mixed in soft
feed, is to be recommended.
4. A small quantity of salt was mixed
daily in the hot morning ration, but as
it created looseness among the Brahmas,
Cochins and several Plymouth Rock hens
its use was given up.
5. The feeding OF vegetables, viz, car
rots, mangel-wurzels, turnips, ETC., In
generous quantity had the effect of keep
ing the hens in excellent condition and
is necessary for the production of eggs.
Scattering the grain food among the
straw and chaff always on the floors of
the pens kept the fowls, particularly the
young ones, active. This grain food
should not be fed in too great quanti-
ties

Point. About the Strawberry.

Prof. Lazenby says that the results of
tests and experiments made by careful
Investigators, as we'll as the observations
of intelligent, practical growers, appear
to substantiate the following points re-
garding the strawberry:
l. The most profitable variety for the
commercial grower are those not easily
influenced by differences of soil and
climate. Those which succeed well over
wide areas are usually better than those
which have a more local reputation.
2 Pistillate varieties when properly
fortified are more productive than the
perfect Towering sort.
g. The Value of a variety as a fertilizer
does not depend so much upon the guam
tity as upon the potency of its pollen.
f. Varieties that are neither very early
nor very late in point Of maturity are
the most productive and have the long
of an early, medium or late variety will
depend upon the market.
5. As a rule, varieties that have the
most vigorous and healthy foliage are
the least productive, while those with a
weaker growth of foliage and a greater
susceptibility to leaf blight are usually
quite prolific.
g. Winter protection may be dispensed
with upon well drained, sandy soils, but
appears to be necessity upon heavier
ones.
Z Leaf blight has been checked to a
greater or less extent, not wholly, pre-
vented, by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture as soon as the new leaves be-
gin to appear and at intervals of a few
weeks throughout the season.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
A Young Married Lady of Lafayette
Meets N SorrOvfuI Fate.

A Young Married Lady of Lafayette
Meets sorrowfuI Fate.
CHICAGO, H., Aug. II. - Special. =
There is a freshly-made mound in Rose
Hill cemetery beneath which lies bur-
led the body Of Mamie Strauss, who
was once. and that only a few months
ago, a resident of Lafayette, Ind, where
her father is man OF wealth and
where she was literally reared in the
lap of luxury.
She married a man beneath her sta
ton in life, whose whole object seems
to have been her money. When this
was gone he deserted her. and she drift
ed to Chicago and down to the depth
from which she gained rest by taking
fatal dose of poison. She unfor-
tunate in her life in Chicago in that
she obtained the enmity of the police,
and was arrested no less than twelve
times in as many nights.
She was reduced in resources and
pawned her jewels and her clothes to
satisfy the cravings of the professional
bondsman for releasing her from dark,
damp cells.
81 am bounded to death and I want
to die" was the last despairing wall
she made and then took the plunge to
eternity.
Her companions in crime would not
let the body be taken to the potter's
field but made up purse, purchased
plain caslxet and had it buried in Rose
Hill. The father has not yet been noti-
fed of the death Of his daughter, as it
was only today that her identity was
discovered.

CROP BULLETIN.
Report from the Agricultural Elk
pertinent Mt Purdue.

The drouth continued unbroken during
the past week except in the southern por-
ton of the state. where heavy local show
ers were Of much benefit to the growing
crops.
This section OF the state has been IA
vored with beneficial rains during the
entire season, and potatoes, corn and to-
bacco are in better condition than in the
other sections; in some sections OF north
ern Indiana the drought Is the severest
ever known so early in the season; the
precipitation at Indianapolis, 0.33 inches,
is the lowest ever recorded except In 1881,
when the rainfall measured 0S2 inches:
reports from central and northern Indi-
ana are extremely unfavorable; the corn
crop will be short everywhere, and In
many sections Ii will be almost an entire
failure; pastures are so dry that farmers
are being compelled to feed their cattle;
blowing for fall wheat will be delayed,
as the ground breaks up in immense
clods.
Potato bugs and drouth have almost
ruined late potatoes in many counties: all
fruit is extremely scarce, and many trees
set during the fall and spring of the
year have succumbed to the drouth the
melon crop, which Is now on the market,
Is large and fine.

A contributor to the Scientific Amer
lean states that any person who touches
this plant soon is appraised of his error by
a strange itch. ITS different from any
other ITCH" he writes. you scratch it
and it seems as though you had con-
quered the irritation it fooled you. You
look for a cause and find none. The skin
is normal, no blemish shows, but it itches
again. When you are warm and COM
fortably asleep you will be Weakened up
scratching that same spot. That's Rhus
toX. poisoning. Soon a small, inSignif-
cant swelling Jumps up where the itch
is; then it begins to look watery under
meath the skin, but it itches none the
less, rather more. You scratch through
the skin, the water underneath is re-
leased and the nails and fingers carry
the watery poison to fresh spots; posi-
bly, to the face, the ears, the body. The
same tedious itching, scratching is null
tiplied. l propose now to tell you of the
cure. Procure from the drug stores
where they are sold a small bottle of
little sugar pills, labeled 'Rhus tox.'
Take six of the little pills at one dose,
four doses the first day-morning, noon,
evening and bedtime. The next day the
itching will be modified a degree. The
second and third day take three doses of
six pills each dose. You Will by this
time be so free from irritation that you
may carelessly take a few pills until
nature heals UP the sores. So soon as
the healing begins be very chary Of TAX
ing many Of the pills, as they will, in ex-
cess of requirement produce an intOl-
cradle though harmless itching over the
whole body. The writer poisoned on an
average four or six times year, finds
this remedy a permanent check on the
first appearance of poisoning symptoms"

garded as a remarkable circumstance,
since no ore believed the white caps
would attack men like the Conrads with
out having weapons.
CORYDON, Aug s.-Special.-David
Jacobs, one Of the men reported seriously
wounded Sunday morning in the Conrad
white cap tragedy, was in town today
and denied the report that he was shot.
He says he was not with the mob, neither
knew anything OF its intention.
Other news reaches here this morning
that it is false concerning the statement
published that Crosier, Tindal or Ebert
were wounded.
There IS such intense excitement in the
neighborhood that II is almost Impossible
to get a full and correct report Oh the
whole affair. 1t is now said that there
are tied in the woods near the Conrad
cabin a mule and a horse and up to
date no one has claimed them.
The Conrad brothers are still at nome
and are ready and awaiting any other
attack that may be made upon them.
The dead have all been buried Inc
young wife of Alfred Howe is reported
almost insane over the untimely death
of her husband.
The mother of Louis Wiseman is a
very aged lady and it is feared she can
not survive the terrible shock. Inc
mother of Edward Huston is an old lady
and only a few years ago she saw her
husband brought home bleeding and torn
from having been thrown from wagon
and dragged for some distance, from
which he never regained consciousness,
and now her son being brought in shot
TO death on the premises of another man
whom he had gone with intent TO muir
der is more than she can bear and 1t is
feared that she will lose her reason.
In the case of John Timberlake it is
noteworthy that his grandfather, John
Timberlake. was shot and killed while

Of Henry Loghmyre, in this county, just
at the close of the late war.
The young Conrads are still in the
neighborhood and say they intend to
stay and fight to a finish; will defend
their mother, sister, home and themselves
against all intruders. They urge their
innocence and say they will die rather
than leave their home.
The marshal of this city left today to
arrest the COnrads.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 9-Special.-The
Post says that ex-Detective John Hooper
arrived in the city this morning from
Westpoint where he has been visiting.
Early this morning he says he saw the
two Conrad brothers from Harrison
county, Indiana. They were in a skin
and were rowing across TO the other
side of the river. Each carried shotgun
on the seat beside him, and they seemed
ready for hard fight. Mr.. Hooper said
both were determined looking men. but
they did not seem to be of the ruffianly
order.
The people down there, Mr.. Hooper
says he learned, have not all abandoned
the Conrads They have many friends,
all Of whom are aroused and will fight
for them. On this side Of the river the
Conrads are we'll liked, and the people in
the vicinity of Westpoint think they did
exactly right in Staying the white
cappers.
Mr. Hooper says a meeting between the
opposing forces is not improbable, and a
bloody battle may result.

Observers Notes.

It may be true that the tendency of
the people toward the cities is due to
some injustice that farmers have to bear,
but should not the tendency of the popu-
lation be downward, if the balance be
kept between the food-producing forces
and the consumers? Invention has in
creased the ability of manufacturing
classes to supply the needs of the people,
but not to supply all their wants. Wants
grow greater every day, and the luxuries
of one day are the necessities of the
next. The world can be kept busy
ministering to wants that are not true
needs. Workmen are used and are in de-
mand, and will be despite the marvellous
increase in our productive capacity
caused by invention.
But the amount of agricultural products
needed and wanted is limited. Bread and
meat and vegetables will not be con-
sumed to any great extent, no matter
how abundant the supply. Inventions
that reduce the number of workmen
needed TO raise thousand bushels of
wheat reduce the number of men needed
in the country districts. Our market is
not an elastic one, taking all offered, as
is true of the market for the comfort
and luxuries that are supplied by most
town and city workmen. The ratio be-
tween the number engaged in producing
food and those only consuming should
grow greater with the introduction of
all labor-saving devices in the field. The
demand for food is yearly increasing.
but labor-saving devices are increasing
more rapidly, and not only should all
the nations increase go to the towns,
but some farmers must go with them,
if we are to reach the end of overpro-
duction.
AS a farmer cannot grieve when men
go to the towns. They are only obeying
a great natural law that would maintain
an even balance between production and
consumption Of food, If man would
quit interfering with its operations.
When we were in the height of our bust
ness as a nation of giving good farms
away, we attracted men to farm life, or
held them to it by inducements that
should never have been offered. We
destroyed the balance that instinctively
the people now seek to regain by an
exodus from the country. 1t should con-
tinue until the bread producing forces
are in proper ratio to the bread con-
sumerS.

The Horn Fly.

This fly has become a serious pest in
many sections. Farm and Home says
that treatment is mostly preventive and
consists of the application to the cattle
of odorous substances which will keep
the flies from the animals. For this pur-
pose a great many substances have been
recommended, but most of them have
proved of but little value. The follow
ing, however. have given the most salts
factory results at the Mississippi expert
ment station: Gnat oil, made of crude
carbolic acid, one ounce; pennyroyal,
one-half to one ounce; sulphur, one
quarter pound, and one gallon crude cot
tonseed oil. Mix well and apply with
brush or cloth to the back and Shout
ders of the cattle. The crude cotton
seed oil is cheaper than the other oils,
although fish oil or lard oil is equally as
good in making the above. Fish oil and
tar mixed and applied as above is equally
as effective The tar is mixed with the
fish oil so that the odor may last longer
and thus keep the flies away from the
animals a greater length of time. Either
Of the above will keep the flies away
several days, after which the application
should be repeated. The flies breed in
fresh manure. 1t is thus important that
the barnyards be kept as clean and free
from manure as possible. Lime placed
upon the manure will kill the larvae.

Recipes.

Hermits-Half a cup Of butter,
creamed: one cup of sugar. one table
spoonful of milk, two eggs; add half a
cup Of seeded and chopped raisins, mix
one heaping teaspoonful Of baking pow
der with two cups of flour and then add
more Hour to roll out; roll about quar-
ter of an inch thick This is a good rule
for cookies, emitting the raisins.
Orange Custard-Scald one pint OF
milk. Beat the yolks Of three eggs light
with one-fourth of a cup of granulated
sugar. Slowly pour the milk on the
eggs, beating all the while, and when
well mixed put back into the farina boiler
with clippings of the rind of the
orange. Cook for two minutes, or until
smooth and thick, stirring constantly.
Add the juice of two oranges, strain and
put away to cool
Bread Meringue-Beat the yolks Of four
eggs light Add, gradually, one cup OF
graduated sugar, beating all the while,
and the grated rind of one lemon. Mix
one pint Of bread crumbs with one quart
of milk; pour this on the eggs and sugar.
Mix well, and bake in moderate oven
until stiff. When done make a meringue
of the whites Of two eggs and four table
spoonfuls of powdered sugar; put on the
pudding and brown in quick oven.
When using the cake crumbs use the
yoll1s of two eggs and half cup of gran
ulated sugar.
Cream Of Macaroons-A delicious sweet
TO offer at luncheon is made Of whipped
cream and macaroone- Use the rich
cream that is Of the proper consistency
to whip we'll. Sweeten and whip until
quite stiff. Get macaroons that have
been kept about two days and roll them
until they are finely crumbled, but not
powdered Stir enough of them in the
whipped cream to give 1t a delicate brown
color. This should be served heaped
lightly in dainty cups, as. while it makes
a most delectable compound, il is al
together too rich to be taken in any but
the most moderate quantities.

REMOVED FOR SAFETY.
Calvin Armstrong Taken from Tip
ton to the KOkomo Jail.

KOKOMO. Aug. 1O.-SpeciaL-Calvin
Armstrong, the deputy treasurer of Tip
ton county, who was recently arrested
fer embezzling $4,000 of the county's
money, was brought to the jail at this
place today for safekeeping
A well-developed plan which had been
laid for his escape from Jail few
nights since. but which. fortunately for
the Jail OF Jailed, failed, was the prin-
cipal motive for bringing the young
man TO this place. He waived pre-
liminary trial at Upton and will now
remain in Jail until the September term
Of court. To the newspapers here he
talked freely today, and with a long
system of figures attempted to show
that he would pay back every cent TO
the county as soon as he could realize
on some $4,000 worth Of notes. Those
who are In a position to know, how
ever claim he will have to wait many
years for a realization of this hope.
He denies ever losing large sums OF
money at the race tracks, and even goes
so far as to say that his bank books win
