RAIN is an accumulation of the tiny
particles of the vapor of the atmosphere
into drops. These drops, first small of
size, attract others of their kind and be-
come drops of such magnitude that they
fall to the earth because Of their weight.
There is limit to the quantity of water
which the air IS capable of absorbing
and retaining as invisible vapor. Warm
air is able to hold more than cold air.

In the abattoirs, after an animal IS
killed, the carcass is bouffee-that is,
filled with wind. The large arteries are
pressed open and points of large bellows
are inserted in them. While the bellows
are being worked a man beats all parts
of the carcass with fiat stick. This is
to distribute the air in parts Of the
flesh. The initiating of the animal in
this m amer gives fuller and frmer ap-
pearance to the meat, and emptles the
veins and arteries more effectually than
they would otherwise be.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., May 4.-Elsie
Kreglo, a white girl, 16 years old, was
murdered to-day in a ravine near the
National Geological park. The body

yards from the girls home. Cries for

by loss of blood and exhaustion, fell
dead in the water before help arrived.

MEXICO NO PLACE OF REFUGE.
Embezzler Rowe OF Iowa Sentenced to
Twelve Years IN Belim Prison. y

CITY OF MEXICO, May Am the
case of Chester Rowe, former treas
urer of Powescbiek county, Ia, ac-
cused of embezzling public moneys,
Saturday Judge AgIeiar imposed a
sentence OF twelve years and two
months imprisonment in Belim prison.
This case has been q notable one In
the history of Mexican Jurisprudence,
as Rowe, after committing the oifense,
came here and took out papers of cit
izenship, hoping thus to evade pun
ishment. But under the penal code,
an offense committed abroad and con-
tinued on Mexican coil is punishable,
and Rowe's case will serve az q warn
ing for criminals hoping to find a safe
asylum in Mexico. Lawyer Alfore, for
the State, said that Rowe only made
himself a Mexican citizen TO evade
punishment that awaited him in Iowa
for Incorporating $4,000. He had
deserted his family, never having sent
his wife but $50 from here. Rowe's
counsel claimed that their client was
not wholly answerable O the sup
posed crime committed in the United
States.
The a has been appealed 10 the
Supreme Court, but it is generally be-
lieyed among the lawyers here that
| the decision will be sustained.
Mr.. Blackstone, who came from
Iowa to prosecute the case, says that
the American people viii warmly APP
plaud the decision which stamps Mex
leo a a law-uphoIding country.

Old Times,

Did Times.
We think we have hard times, but
we don't know what hard times are.
If we think back a few years we will
realize what hard times mean. We
live better than the kings and princes
OF old times. We have knives and
forks to eat with; they did not. We
have good spoons and plates; they did
not. Why, only two generations ago
they did not have a cook stove. Our
grandmothers had to wipe their faces
with a tow linen apron, made at home,
as she sweat over a hot bed OF Goals in
a big re-place about five or six feet
wide. Yes, and they had to pound the
corn up with a mortar and big pistle,
instead of having it ground at a big
roller mill. Now they have got things
made SO cheap the folks can live bet
ter than kings in old times.

Joseph Alexander, one of Audrain
County's oldest and most substantial
farmers, was in Mexico this week on
business. MIR. Alexander lives in the
eastern part of Audrain County, five
miles north of Middletown and 2A
miles west of Mt. Carmel. He came
there in 1857, on the 18th day of July.
He is a native of Belgium and came to
Herman, Mo-, from New York by train
and from there to Audrain County by
wagon. Mr.. Alexander had not been
in Mexico until this week for over 20
years. The first time he was here was
in 1887 when Mexico was a very, very
small village. Alexander was IS years
old when he came to this county and
the reason he happened to locate in
Audrain County was because the
Detiennes, we'll known to the readers
of the LEDGER, located here before.
They were French and sent glowing
accounts of this country back to Bel
GUM and induced q large number of
people to come to Audrain County
and they are all well satisfied. In
fact, there is quite a French settle
ment neal Mt. Carmel, and they are
among our very best citizens. Mr..
Alexander says that the people who
think they have hard times in this
country know nothing of what is to
be commended with in France.

HOLMES WILL DIE THURSDAY.
Preparations Completed for the Hang

Mistrusted.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 4.-Some
time next Thursday morning II. H.
Holmes, the self-confessed, muiti-mur-
derer, win be hanged in Moyamensing
prison and sheriff Clements, who was
formerly superintendent of John
Wanamaker's Bethany Sunday School,
has completed the arrangements.
Holmes has given up hope of a re-
spite and is preparing for death. He
eats heartily and is gaining in flesh.
He is very cheerful, but the prison Of
ficers r keeping a close watch ON
him though his lawyer declares that
he has not the least idea of trying to
cheat the gallows. Despite his con-
fession he is trying to prove that he
did not kill the Pietzel children.
Lawyer Fahey, Mrs. Pietzel's attor-
ney, says his client is very distrustsul
of the promises of Holmes, but will go
to her home in Vaiva, ILL.,, and there
await a result of the proteststions of
Holmes that he will make proper res
titution. 'Holmes has assured me
that Mrs. Pietzel will recover at least
one-third of what real estate he
leaves" said Lawyer Fahey, "and
while / doubt that he has much Of a
tangible nature to dispose of by will l
am inclined to the belief that no will
not go on the gallows without making
any provision for the widow. Holmes
has d~isbursed, no doubt, what money
he received from his confession in
bringing to this city a horde of people
to prove that he did not kill Howard

in Chicago that will more than reim-
burse Mrs. Pietzel for the money he
swindled her out of in false promissory

night, Sunday morning, Sunday after-

The meeting Saturday night at Inc

were at the altar seeking holiness.
The services at the Liberty street
NJ. E. Church in the afternoon were
very largely attended and the atten-
ton given those who talked showed
plainly that much interest was mani
tested. Ensign and Mrs. Chapman, OF

dollars a week for his work in Mex
leo. The people in Mexico have
heard him without money and with
out price through the ~liberality OF
Pres. Yancey, of Hardin College.
Now, when S~charwenka makes a lib
eral offer to a religious institution, il
is right for the people who have
heard him at no cost to themselves to
Join him in making his offer amount
