Qualities, hut secures the removal OF the oiial.
Poultrv that is TO be killed for the market
should be kept without feeding for twelve to
twantv-four hours TO secure perfect enpti-
ness OF the crop. When the crop is entirely
empty it becomes unnecessary TO open the
fowl In front. aud ieavejng the skin unbroken
nj the front of the breast causes the poultry
to look better But if there be any grain III
the crop, the crop should be removed, rs the
grain will sooE become sour and affect the
flavor Of the meat. In picking dry, the ToWl
should be killed by either decapitation, stick
Ing knife through the throat nnd severlng
the large veins and Wndppe, or by cutting Il
slit across the roof Of the mouth. As soon
ms the fowl is dead-and many pickers do not
wait for this--the large feathers Of the tail
and wings should be pulled, and then TING
softer feathers piucked. The dressed fowl
should be hung to cool OF. ana then if the
head be not severed it can be, and the skin OF

consult the requirements Of his market.
Poultry Need Attention.
Eggs and fowls form so large portion of
our foo(stuffs especially where fresh beef Is
NOT easily procured, that poultry should be as
carefully provided fer other live stock.

limited recognition of silver; but some
repeal Democrats are still holding out
for an absolute repeal, and with these

opinion is expressed that if ell these

report tonight that they are breaking

A Sensational story That He Is Still
Alive-A Pine Log Buried.

Denver. Oct 19-The News pub
fishes a sensational story to the effect
that DR.. Thatcher Graves, the poison
er who was supposed to have suicided
in jail, is not dead. 1t is maintained
that a pine log occupied the coffin in
stead of body The story is given on
the authority of Charles n. Chandler,
wealthy citizen of Thompson, Center
county, Graves old home, and where
the body is supposed to be buried.
Chandler and fellow townsman,
Stephen Morse, are now here. They
declare that the coffin was opened at
the grave against the protests of the
widow and it was found to contain a
pine log. The supposed dead doctor is
now said to be enjoying his freedom in
a foreign country.
A rumor has been current here for
some time that the body carried
from the county Jail was real
ly of wax and that. the parties
to the deception are some high
officials and a secret organization.
This rumor is strengthened by the
refusal to allow the remains to be
viewed except by the most intimate
friends, and by the further fact that
the widow refused to allow the re-
mains to be embalmed.

Death in Trench-Blew Out the CASA
Five Million Pound Fire in
China-A Millionaire
Drowned.

Chicago. Oct. 19.-The Inter-Ocean
special from Kankakee says: Another
horrible wreck occurred at midnight
on the Illinois Central railroad at Otto
Junction, four miles south of Kanka-
kee, in which it is reported seven per-
sons were killed and about as many
badly injured The fast mail, north
bound, crashed into the freight as the
latter was rounding the "Y' from the
Kankakee & the Western railroad,
preparatory to coming to this city on
the main line of the Illinois Central.
The only information obtainable at
this hour is given above. There was
a Texas sleeper on the train and it is
thought the dead and wounded are in
that. The place where the wreck
occurred is a desolate locality.
AT 2 o'clock a relief train, with a
wrecking crew and physicians was
sent out from Kankakee. A misplaced
switch is said to have been the cause
of the accident. The wrecked train
consisted of a mail car with four
clerks, a baggage car, two day coaches
and the Texas sleeper. The Illinois
Central officials refuse to give any in
formation whatever.
1t is now said the wreck was not as
serious as al nrsl reported, 1t oeins
rumored seven people were injured
and none killed outright. Three of the
Isl eliuustN inlu 60 are cared IoT &C
Kankakee, while the others are being
brought to Chicago on a special train.
The seriously injured are:

A number of others were slightly in
