Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
FORT WAYNE, Ind, May 2S.-For years
Christian Haberkup and wife have lived
alone In a two-stOry house at Roanoke.
Ind. ten miles southwest of this city.
They were poesessors of means which en-
sbled them TO live plainly but comfortably,
and their domest ito life was pleasant. Late

and q search made for the husband. lie
was seen lying on the upper floor OF
the house with his throat terribly
lsceratsd. Flames were whirling about
the body. rendering rescue impossible.
Ladders were placed to the windows. but
they were found to be nailed down. and il
could be seen by those on the ladders that
both doors TO the room were barred. Ell.
forts were made to break the window
Haberkup until too late to save his life.
When last seen he was enveloped in flames,
and the blood was streaming from a cash
In his throat.
There are several theories as to the cause
OF the double tragedy. but the most proba-
bio one is that both husband and wife
were crazy. Mrs. HaDerkup W as an invalid.
and q great sufferer for several months.
and both brooded over the misfortune. as
they regarded it. until reason became de-
throned. Then, it is believed. they re.
bors say Haberkup frequently stated.
during the past few weeks. that
when his wife dIed he would
immedi ately end HE life. All the evidence
shows that he laid careful plans to burn
the house. so az to leave no trace of the
manner of their deaths. and 1t will never
be known whether he killed his wife or
whether both committed suicide. although
from the struggle it is more probable he
killed her. fired the house and then cut bis
own throat. They have never had chill

years ago, and later moved TO Roanoke.
1t is believed that a large sum of money
was burned In the house. Haberkup would
not trust bis funds in banks. He fire.

times he would always get the money at
the house, bur he was careful to let no one

Dehornlng with Caustlo Potash.

Professor Roberts is an advocate of
dehorning, but prefers to prevent the
horns from growing. He has made
some experiments in this matter at
the experiment station, which he
says warrant the following recon-
mendations:
/. That for efficiency, cheapness
and ease of application, stick caustic
potash can be safely recommended
for preventing the growth of horns.
. The earlier the application is
made in tho life of the calf, the better.
The following are the diroc, ons
for applying the caustic:
The hair should be closely clipped
from the skin and the little horn
moistened with water to which soap
or few drops of ammonia have been
added to dissolve the oily secretion
of the skin so that the potash will
more readily adhere to the surface Of
the horn. Care must be taken not
to moisten the skin except on the
horn where the potash is to be APP
piled. One end of stick of causSlc
potash is dipped in water until it is
slightly softened. 1t is then rubbed
on the moistened surface of the little
horn. This operation is repeated
from five to eight times, until the
surface OF the horn is slightly sensi-
tive. The whole operation need take
only few minutes and the calf is
apparently insensible to it. A slight
scab forms over the surface of the
budding horn and drops off in the
course of a month or six weeks, leav-
ing perfectly smooth poll. journal

and clean the combs of every drop of

after the bees have ceased to fly, the
cases are carried and stored into tho

The Neshaminy creek, in Pennsyl-
vania, in rainy seasons fills the bitches
of adjacent farms with water from
eighteen inches to two feet deep.
Alter recent downpour three boys
went fishing up the creek and in
ditch the boys espied three huge carp
Hopping about. One of the boys
jumped into the ditch and seized tho
largest fish. The carp nearly as big
rs the boy, had the advantage of be-
ing in his native element, and plunged
through tho water and mud until the
boys on shore thought that their com
panion would surely be drowned. But
at last the fish grew so weak from its
great efforts that the boys dragged it
out upon the bank and there held it
until it ceased to struggle. Then
they lugged their trophy home, put it
ON the scales and found that it
weighed thirty-two pounds.

In some OF the English chalk hills
where shepherds feed their Aocks,
wells are few and far between. Now,
as water is as necessary for sheep as
for human beings, how is it got?
Hundreds of years ago a very simple
plan was employed for the purpose
of collecting water; and this plan is
in use to-day in certain parts of
England. A pond is formed and
made water-tight by filling in its
sides with clay. If proper care has
been shown in choosing situation
for tho pond, it will be found that
enough water gathers in it from the
rain. dew and evening mists that
hang about the hill to satisfy the
wants of the sheep. In fact so OK
cellent do these ponds answer their
purpose that many of them on tho
Hampshire hills are never dry.
