plished that Gresham visited the capitol

Not Thought to he Practicable

WASHINGTON, August 21.-So far the
American Ministers in Central America
have not advised the State Department
Of the movement for the combination OF
the five small Central American Repub-
lies into one large nation. While such
a combination would be welcomed, it is
felt it is scarcely practicable because of
the personal jealousy of many of the
self-eonstituted leaders, which led to the
downfall of the old confederation quar-

More Complaint From the Members of

LONDON, August 27.-The Pail Mall
Gazette in an article on the Wellman Arc
tic expedition SAYS it is stated that the
Norwegian members of the party assert
the unfitness of the Americans who ac-
companied the expedition to take part
in such enterprise. Mr.. Hyardahl of
the University of Christina, who was
one of the party, in letter written at
Walden Island stated that the provisions
taken by the expedition were not su6i-
cient, and the members were obliged to
live on short rations and drink salt wa
ter obtained by melting ice. As a result
OF this he was made ill. The Gazette
further says that in fairness to Mr.. Well
man the public should suspend judg-
ment until the explorer shall have re-
turned and been given chance to defend
himself.

The Careful Farmer Never Leaves Hi:
Implements Exposed.

The Careful Farmer Never Leaves His
Implements Exposed.
It is painful to ride through the coun-
try and note the waste that is going on
in farm tools. Valuable mowers. bind
ers and reapers stand in the field all the
year round. Plows are left in the furrow
the whole winter long. Wagons are
housed under the caves of the barn or
out in more open places. Cultivators,
drills, rakes, all kinds of utensils are
exposed to the weather summer and
winter.
Every man knows that piece of wood
left out of doors for any length of time
will decay. He knows also full we'll
that iron will rust. Paint is short-lived.
Unless renewed it soon washes off and
leaves the bare metal exposed.
Frost and heat, dew and sunshine,
rain and wind are most powerful agents
in the destruction of farm implements.
One of these tools, if well made origi-
nally and cared FOR properly, should last
a lifetime.
The careful farmer never leaves his
utensils thus exposed; when he is done
with his pillow he wipes the dirt all off
and pulls it under cover, the same way
with the drill, the harrow, the cultivator
and even the hoe. / know a man who,
if he happens to forget and leaves his
wheelbarrow out, will get up in the
middle of the night, if he remembers
his neglect, and put it under cover. He
cannot sleep if he knows the ladder or
the ak has been left out.
Were every man as careful as this man
the output of the manufactures would
be materially lessened; the pocket book
of our farmers would be thicker than it
now is. Why not try it?-E. L. Vim

startling suicide occurred here this morn
ing when Miss Hattie Nolan, aged
eighteen. a we'll known young lady OF

The tragedy was the result of disap-
pointed love in which Lewis Smith Of

other party
He had been paying the young lady
special attentions for some time, but
today he wrote her a letter from which
the following is an extract:
II can't burn your letters so 1 return
them except the last one. which permit
me to keep, for 1 know that by reading
it occasionally I can harden my heart
against all of your sex"
The letter reached her this morning
about S:l5 o'clock. She handed it to
her mother and at the same time stepped
to the bureau and picked up a 32-caliber
revolver exclaiming:
"Good-by. mother here it goes"
She then pulled the trigger and sent
bullet through her heart.
She died five minutes later. Her par
ents are well to DO and much respected

JOKERs AS GHOSTS.
Christmas Holiday Pastimes Along
the Indiana and Ohio Border.


REDKEY. Dec. 9.-Special.-Ft. Re
covery. a small town near here in Ohio,
is excited over ghostly occurrences at a
farm about a mile and a half west of
the fort.
The ghostly manifestations and noises
occur at the barn. Hideous noises are
heard as of some one in great agony ac-
companied by mysterious ratings, and
the sounds are always in the part of the
barn farthest from those who seek to
investigate. Sometimes the noises ap-
pear to come from above and sometimes
from below, and cannot be located. Each
night all the horses and live stock left
in the barn are turned loose, and har-
ness and animals are each morning
found sprinkled with fresh blood. All
is quiet around the barn during the
day, but when night sets in these spirits
Of darkness begin their pranks.
The citizens of the fort decided to in
vestigate fully and last night, led by
Edwin Arthur. editor of the FIT. Re
covery Journal, the party stationed
themselves on a platform in the barn
and awaited developments. Promptly at
the hour Of midnight the strange noises
began, and dim phosphorescent light
appeared and made things partially visi-
BILE in the barn. The horses and cows
became frightened and began plungtng
and kicking, and in their struggles they
Rocked down the platform on which the
watchers were stationed, who were
thrown into the midst Of the struggling
bruteS.
The watchers broke for the open air,
and beyond a few kicks and bruises they
were uninjured. They did not venture
back into the barn, but will endeavor
to solve the mystery again in a few
nights They now feel certain that some
practical joker is at the bottom Of the
ghostly occurrences.

FIRE AT LADOGA.
DauEherty Brothers Fine FIGURING
Mill Destroyed.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Dec. 2S.-Spe-
cial-The most disastrous fire which
has been visited upon the county for
a long time occurred this morning at
about 4 o'clock at Ladoga.
The large Touring mill of A. w.
Daugherty & Bro. took fire and was
totally destroyed. The fire was under
good Roadway when discovered and,
even had the town had adequate fire
protection, could hardly have been
saved The mill was consumed with all
its contents, including two car loads Of
-four ready for shipment and 1900
bushels of wheat. The mill had recently
to be about $4,000, with $4,000 insur-
ance.
The mill was a valuable piece Of prop
erty and was doing a big business. 1t
was the only Touring mill of cOnse-
quence in the neighborhOOd and was
literally patronized. The origin Of the
fire is not known. Mr.. Daugherty went
all over the mill last night as usual, but
everything was then thought 10 be all
right. The fire is not thought to have
been incendiary.
In addition TO the mill, a barn on the
George Deisher property was destroyed
and it was only by the greatest efforts
that the w. f. Epperson heading fac
tory was saved, a high wind blowing
brands all over the place, which required
a force of men to eXtinguish.
A w. Daugherty is at present In
Florida and it is not known whether the
mill will be rebuilt.

ing swindled by patent right men, by
vendors Of wonderful secrets, by travel
ing agents, by men selling goods by
sample, etc. Simply learning how to
avoid one trick is unimportant. There
are, however, general principles which
will. If borne in mind and acted upon,
almost always protect one from loss.
They may be briefly stated thus: Never
listen to any proposition which is COM
mended to you as giving opportunities
for making money dishonesty or sell
ing an article for much more than IL is
worth. The man who proposes to have
you defraud others will cheat you If he
has good opportunity. As rule, when
a stranger proposes to sell you an ar
ttcle at very much less than its value,
it is safe to decline buying. unless you
are good Judge of the article. Never
sign paper presented by stranger
without reading il and being sure you
understand its character. Never make
a purchase or contract with stranger
when his assurance is the only evidence
you have of value. AS a rule, avoid
engaging in enterprises. however at
tractive they may appear, IL entirely
outside your usual business. Buy OF ana
sell to men whom you know personally,
or who are engaged in regular, perma-
nent business. whenever this can be
done. Other things being equal, buy
and sell in the market nearest home

The solemnity Of the scene in the
court house Thursday when the murder
er, Brown, was sentenced to hang mas
probably never been surpassed In our
court house. The low. clear words of the
Judge as he delivered the death sentence
impressed everyone with an awe that Is
seldom felt Probably not one in ten
present had ever before heard death
sentence spoken. The previous proceed
ings of the denial of a new trial and the
overruling Of the motion in arrest Of
judgment had prepared the minds OF all
for the serious conclusion of the matter
then imminent All knew what was to
follow, and all minds were stilled to
serious mood by the knowledge that
human being, however criminal he may
have been, was standing in the shadow
Of an ignoble death. There was but one
stolid man In the whole assembling
but one man who did not seem to appre-
ciate the full import Of the scene-this
was the prisoner at he bar. Though the
voice Of the Judge was as firm as usual
there were tears Of pity in his tone, and
his whole manner indicated the struggle
in his mind that his stern duty had
called upon him to undergo. That duty
he discharged as became man and as
became a judge. For sixty years previ-
Gus no judge on the bench he now oc-
cupies had been called upon to perform
a like trying duty, and this fact must
have brought the regret that he should,
break the long inteTregum of immunity
from the dread ordeal. 1t was indeed a
most impressive moment and people
breathed easier when ii had passed and
they had moved away from the scene
