NOT ON THE TICKET.

A sensation was sprung at the Cen
trail Committee headquarters yester-
day afternoon by the announcement
that there had been an omission in
the ticket filed and consequently the
entire ticket would be illegal. After
working everybody up to fever heat
the member making this announce
ment stated that the omission consist
ed in the failure to include Rainier
Beer on the list of candidates for pop
ular favor. Rainier Beer, however,
does not need to be on any ticket, as
it was long ago voted to be the best

Food Peculiarities.

DR.. Sophie Lepper, the English food
specialist, says in speaking of the pecul-
iarities of various foods that blanched
almonds give the higher nerve or brain
and muscle food, no heat or waste.
Walnuts give nerve or brain food; mus
Gle, heat and waste. Pine kernels give
heat and stay. They serve as substi-
tute for bread. Green water grapes are
blood purifying, but Of little food value.
Blue grapes are feeding and blood puri-
flying, too rich for those who suffer
from the liver; tomatoes, higher nerve
or brain food and waste; no heat. They
are thinning and stimulating. Juicy
fruits give more or less the higher nerve
or brain, and some few, muscle food
and waste; no heat. Apples supply the
higher nerve and muscle food, but do
not give stay. Prunes afford the highest
nerve or brain food, supply heat and
waste. but are not muscle feeding.

Neigllbor of the Sausage Maker Gives Some
Damaging Testimony.
Chicago, Sept. Mrs. Agatha Tosch,
to whom Adolph Luetgert was wort to
confide his business ard marital troubles,
took the stand for the prosecution Tues
day, when the famous murder case was
resumed, and gave damaging testimony
against the prisoner. According to her
evidence the day after Mrs. Luetgert
disappeared Mrs. Tosch had long con-
versation with the sausage maker, who,
she asserted, was pale and laboring un.
der excitement he vainly endeavored to
suppress In the course of their talk
she boldly told him she believed him
guilty Of making away with his wife,
and that he thereupon manifested much
excitement and begged her to help him,
as he was In great trouble.
Mrs. Tosch dilated on Luetgert's dis
turbed condition of mind as much as
the rules Of evidence would permit and
finally swore that the man, in the ex-
tremity Of his distress, declared he was
tempted to shoot himself and escape
the trouble that hung over his head
Before che left the stand Mrs Tosch
also testified to the hatred felt by Luet-
CERT for his wife and his significant
threats TO crush her.

her children, whom she had ALWAYS
dearly loved, for buggy ride. Accord
ingly the husband, noting nothing
wrong in his wIfe's demeanor, ordered
the rig. At first she desired both chill
dren to get in, but afterwards changed
her mind and said she would take Fern
alone first.
When beyond the city limits, in q
lonely spot, the mother stopped the
horse and saturating several handker-
chiefs with choloform, according to her
own statement, kissed little Fern and
applied the deadly drug to the child's
nostrils. The little one struggled feebly
at first and said plaintively: Mamma,
mamma, what have 1 done?" but soon
was quiet in death. Hiding the body
under clump of bushes. the woman
drove back home and said, pleasantly:
well, Ivy. it's your turn now" The
girl was alarmed at the absence Of her
sister, but the mother explained 1t by
saying that Fern was playing with a
neighbours children. Driving to about
the same spot where the other murder
was committed Mrs. Hutchinson in
formed her daughter that Fern was
dead and that she. too. must die.
The girl screamed in fright and tried
to leap from the buggy. but only reached
the ground after two bullets had been

Cruel. but Necessary.

The Eskimos dread the winter and
take early precautions to provide against
famine. AS the season approaches the
great herds of reindeer migrate south
ward, and the walrus or the seal are
all that remain for food.
When an in wind is blowing, the wal
rus is easily found on the outer edge of
the ice packs. When it is blowing off
the shore, however, the ice packs sail
out to sea with the walruses ON them.
The natives then class their numbers in
list from the strongest to the weakest
The food that is in store is divided up,
the weakest having the smallest guam
tity, the strongest the largest. Thus the
mightiest hunters have strength to pro-
vide for the others.
1t is a cruel system, but, nevertheless,
necessary one. If all were weak, all
would die; if some are strong, they will
save many of the weak.

NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST TO OUR
READERS.

Important happenings i'm the state During
the Past Few DAVIS Reported by Teie-
graph Matter Selected for the Benefit of
Our Own People.
Shepherd, Mich. Aug. 30.-The utter
unreliability of the alleged ante-mor-
tenn statement of Cashier Struble was
demonstrated when the authorities re-
vealed the names of the two men, in
addition to Dennis Ryan already named,
who Struble. 1t Is claimed, declared a
few moments before his death were his
assailants These men were William N.
Brown Of Ann Arbor. the principal
stakeholder in the Peoples bank of
Mount Pleasant, and Judge Elijah j.
Wheaton of Mount Pleasant.
1t has been proved beyond question
that neither of these men was within
200 miles Of Shepherd at the time of the
murder. Wheaton was with a fishing
party in Manistee county and had been
there for week. Brown had been con-
fined to his home by illness for some
time. Both have established an impreg-
nable alibi, although neither knew until
late Thursday that he was mentioned
by Struble. Wheaton was formerly
Judge OF the probate court and is one OF
the most respected citizens of the coun-
~, while Brown, who is a son-in-law
OF the late Lieutenant Governor Dwight
May has state wide reputation. This
turn of affairs has tended to intensity
the myster and the most careful OBJ
servers believe that 1t may be several
weeks before the matter is cleared up.
Detroit, Aug. 31.-A special to The
Free Press from Shepherd reports a
new clue to the murderers of Cashier
Elmer Struble, Of the Farmers bank.
George Hall, a farm laborer four miles
northwest of Shepherd, last night made
statement that at 3:15 o'clock on the
morning of the murder he saw double
rig driven by on the way to Shepherd.
1t was then too dark for him to see the
occupants, but two hours later he was
startled by the return of the rig, driving
full speed in the direction of Mount
Pleasant.
Two men were on the front seat with
their hats pulled far down over their
eyes. OF these men Hall gives a mod
erately close description, and his ac-
count is corroborated by other farmers
along the Mount Pleasant road. The
time given by Hall as to the passage
and return of the rig would have given
opportunity for the murder to be COM
mitted, as the theory is that it occurred
somewhere about 4:30 in the morning.
The officers are working the clue closely
and expect good results.
