AN AWFUL CRIME.
4 Family Waylaid and Its Members
Butchered.

Family Wayla1d and Its Members
Butchered.
"Gus" Meeks his wife and two children
were murdered near Browning, Mo-, and
another child, aged seven, was so badly In
jured that it was not expected she would
recover
There are number OF cases pending In
the criminal courts against William f. and
George Taylor. William is a banker in
Browning and his brother is a farmer. They
are charged with forgery, larceny and arson.
William Taylor, "Gus" Meeks and others
were jointly indicted. Meeks pleaded guilty,
and was sentenced at the last term OF court
to the penitentiary.
r Governor Stone pardoned him a bout a
month ago for the purpose of having him
used as a witness against the Taylor broth
erS.
1t is reported that the Taylors had ar
ranged with Meeks to give him team OF
horses and wagon 80 that he could Leave
the county and not be present at the time OF
their trial.
Meekss mother says that her son received
letter from the Taylors at Browning, telling
him to be in readiness to go away at 10
o'clock, and that Meeks and the children
waited for Taylor until midnight, when two
men, whom Meeks told her were George and
"Bilp' Taylor, came to their home In a
wagon. The man and his family got into
the wagon and started for Browning.
The only statement regarding the crime
was from the seven-year-old girl, who was
suffering greatly at the time she told her
story. 1t seems that when the Meeks family
and the persons accompanying them reached
"a point on the road near the school house in
Lynn County, a small distance from Brown
ing, they were attacked by two armed men
who were lying IN wait at the roadside.
Their first victim was Meeks. His wife
jumped from the wagon in terror at the
sound ofthe shot, but she also was murdered
The flends then seized large stones and beat
the lives out of the two children and left
the third one for dead.
The assassins hauled the bodies of their
victims nearly two miles In the wagon TO the
Taylor farm, burylng them under hay
stack.

HOG FEEDING.

No one knows all there is to know
in pig feeding. Professor Roberts
says he used to feed 600 head per
year, and got to be a close observer.
He says that pure food and cleanli-
ness are essential to the best success,
and that in feeding hogs the man who
feeds them will succeed with them.
In spite of the general opinion to
the contrary, some maintain that the
hog has preference for being clean,
and cite many instances of his keep
ing one side of his pen clean if at all
encouraged or started with it clean,
etc. Here is one mans idea in regard
to clean pen and pure food: Every
farmer with 100 acres ought to feed
from twenty to 100 hogs. The COM
mon way of constructing the floors
of the pens is unsuitable. If they
slope backward from the trough they
will be kept wet. That means sickly

THE MELTING TEST FOR BUTTER.

This test, says E. Reich, is only
preliminary, and no claim is made that
it is invariably conclusive. Pure,
fresh butter when melted is perfectly
clear or only slightly cloudy, usually
dark yellow, and has the familiar odor
of pure butter-fat. Pure stale butter
may be very cloudy and even Opaque
when melted, is usually of dark yell
low color, and has the odor of rancid
butter. Melted margarine, on the
other hand, is very Opaque, of a light
yellow color, and has q characteristic
indescribable odor. Digest.

was one Of the richest cities Of the far
East, but it's people had become as
noted for their reckless prodigality as
for their wealth; on one of the heights
overlooking the city, one Of the gods
placed, one night, three large basins
made Of marble, and filled each about
half full OF water; next morning some
strollers from the city at once noticed
them for they were placed on high
knoll where they could be seen, and
very soon the whole city was out to
see the wonder. It was found that
each basin was fed by pipe from
which gushed stream Of water, clear
as crystal; each basin had an escape
pipe near the bottom by which the
water was carried out Of the basins as
continuously as the other
brought it in; the water
rushed into each basin with play
full splash, and SO far as could be
seen there was no difference in them.
But before long it was seen that the
first basin was filing up, the second
remained about the same, the third
showed lowering Of the water in it;
then it was noticed for the first time
that in the first basin the feed pipe
was little larger than the discharge
pipe; in the second basin the pipes
were of the same size:in the third basin
the dischargepipe was larger than
the feed pipe.
Ere long the first basin was full and
running over; the second remained
about the same; in the third there was
scarcely enough water to cover the
bottom of the basin; when noticed
some time after the second
basin as we'll as the
third was empty; what had hap
pened to it? 1t was found that some
obstruction had got into the feed pipe
and the discharge pipe continuing to
carry off it's full quota of water, the
basin was soon empty, and ever after
wards they remained the same
one full basin and two empty ones.
Some of the knowing ones perceiv-
ed the lesson intended and needed it,
but the great majority had become
welded to their ways. and today the
proud city on the Euphratus and the
basins on the heights exist only in
tradition.

AS the result of a quarrel of long

in this city with his right side and
arm filled with shot, fired from gun
in the hands OF his brother, r. E.
Darling. The brothers have land in
Elk Township, and Monday were
there at work hen dispute over a
line, OF crossing some land, arose
and ended by 4. I. being brought
home fer medical treatment. Tuesday
Sheriff Thorn and Mr.. Fuqua went
out and arrested r. e. Darling and
he is now in jail here awaiting examin-
alton. Wednesday reporter visited
the jail but could get no statement
from him for publication. His Attor-
ney, J. A. Town, of course, had sealed
his mouth. Sympathy, generally
especially with the members OF the
Darling family, is with the young
man who did the shooting: But the
ADVANCE does not wish to try this case
in the newspapers, hence we defer
comments. The victim of the shoot
ing is under care of DR.. Dolan and is
getting along nicely. r. E. Darling
will no doubt have his examination
soon and be released on bonds.

Died..

PERRY.-At the residence of his
parents in Sibley, a., May 20,
1894, Ernest Perry, in the 9th
year Of his age.
Ernest was the elder son of Geo.
E. and Hattie E. Perry, of Sibley,
Ia. He was born in Winnebago
County, Wis, Oct. l6, 1867. When
he was about four years OF age his
parents moved to Iowa and located
few miles from the town of Sibley.
There Ernest attended the district
school for several years and assisted
his father on the farm. His studies
were continued in the Sibley public
school for some time. He then
entered as an apprentice In the
newspaper business, serving three
years in the printing office in his
own town. About three years more
were spent in Aberdeen, S. D.
From there he came to Worthington
about four years ago, from which
time until the end of 1898 he was in
some way connected with the Wor-
thington GLOBE. He first served as
a journey man, then became a part
ner in the business, aud about two
wears assumed full control of the
paper. A few months before his
relation with the GLOBE ceased he
received into partnership with him
Mr.. E. X. Smith, the present editor,
and on account of failing health, he
was compelled to retire from the
business at the time stated. The
much dreaded Bright's disease had
become deeply seated in his system,
and Notwithstanding the best medi-
cal treatment, it finally claimed him
for its yictum. In his business re-
lations, Mr.. Perry enjoyed the re-
spect and confidence or all with
whom he had dealings. AS news
paper man, he was energetic and
enterprising, ever seeking to be
abreast of the times. His paper
always manifested a deep interest in
the welfare of the county and town
it represented, and 10y atty to the
state and nation.
A little over two years ago Mr..
Perry became Christian and united
with the NJ. E. church, of which he
remained an active member until his
death. During his final sickness he
frequently gave a clear testimony to
the saving power of the gospel of
Christ. About year and a half
ago he united in marriage with the
only daughter Of F. A. Stevens of
this place. To her with her little
bow and the sorrowing family are
extended the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire community.
The funeral service was held at
the residence of F. A. Stevens, on
Monday afternoon, Rev. W. }.
Robinson, assisted by Rev. McCune,
and Rev. Kennedy, of sibley,
officiating. Thence the remains
were Inferred in the Worthington
cemetery to await the final day.

We do not advocate anything like
penuriousness; we do not advocate
stinting ones self of comforts of life
but we do advocate the cutting off of
useless expenses which add nothing
to the enjoyments of life, and that
keep us cramped and poor to the end
of our days. Some unthinking people
effect contempt for these saving habits
and they seem to look upon them
as something small, something be-
meath a whole souled, good-hearted
fellow. But, certainly this is very
foolish. A prudent man will husband
his means, and not squander them;
He will deny himself, if need be,
some present qualification in order to
secure a substantial good in the fu-
ture. And then, the satisfaction of
knowing that we are making Roadway
in the world, that we are treading on
safe ground, will more than make a
mends for any little sacrifices we may
have to make. A good, old friend of
