Gold Caves.

In the southern aud western part of
Missouri, especially in the Ozark re-
gions, there are many irregular
shaped openings in the earth, which
the logical biologists term elbow
holes" or 4'cold caves" and from
which cold blasts of air are constantly
issuing: One of the unique theories
advanced to account for the blowing
phenomenon is that the temperature
of the ave Is %abnormally reduced by
the ammonia in the enormous deposits
of bat manure. Whenever the out
side atmosphere is above a temperature
OF forty five degrees Fahrenheit these
"blow holes may be found at work.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.


Clover hay is much better nppreci-
ated than it used to be. While most
horsemen in cities are still shy OF it,
the farmers know as they always have
done that in nutritious value it far
surpasses timothy Or other grasses.
It contains more heterogeneous nutrition
than the grasses. This is what makes
it hard to cure without turning dark
colored, but the late clover crop,
which is always nearly black when got
into the barn, is for sheep. COWS and

ACADEMY OF MUSIC-The stage of the
Academy of Music will be occupied tonight
by Miss Bertha Creighton, who was lead
ing lady last season for Sol Smith Russell.
Miss Creighton is starring this season in
a classic repertoire, and has been meeting
with marked success In the southern cities.
The critics speak in high terms of her abil-
ity. Miss Creighton will open her engage
ment with Romeo and Juliet Miss
Creightons conception of the part is said
to be original, and her method may also
be said to be entirely her own. She is a
dainty young creature in the early stage,
and when love for Romeo takes possession
of her. the action is perfectly natural and
not strained and overworked. AS the play
proceeds the responsibility of her part is
fully realized by Miss Creighton, and her
solfloquy in regard to the taking of the
drug prescribed by Friar Lawrence is su-
Derb.

fights and been many times in Jail. When
rather young he married, but his life re-
suited In causing his wife endless fears
and suffering.

ard was taken back. but he seldom kept
sober more than a few weeks at a time.
and when he went on spree he invaria-
bly, landed behind the bars He escaped
from jail once and managed to swim across
the Eastern branch.
His wife finally got a divorce from him,
and he went in the navy. Soon he became
a deserter and returned home. much the
worse for having come in contact with an
other sailor. His friends prevented a term
fr a military prison for him, and aftcrward
he reformed. SO he stated. and interested
himself in church and mission work. Dur
ing the past summer, after he had been
doing so WELL he found another young wo-
man in the person of 2 Miss Burch who
said Yes to him. and they were married.
Two weeks ago Franks appetite for strong
drink returned, and he deserted church
and Christian friends. His wife, unwilling
to risk her life as his former wife had
done, deserted him and returned to her
parents. Friday the wretched man, whose
mind had been affected by drink, bought
box of the rodent killer, and second box
was purchased Saturday afternoon 1t is
thought he swallowed the contents of both
boxes, and was found by his aged mother
when he had become unconscious. A ply

ing the patient to consciousness and yes

Hospital, where he died last night about
IL 30 o'clock. An inquest was deemed un-

MAKES A VICIOUS ASSAULT.
Henry ThurstOn Attacks Winnie RAM
say With "a Razor.


say With u Razor.
Another brutal crime was added Satur-
day night to the appalling list of bloody
affairs which have occurred Of late. The
scene Of this latest murderous assault was
on the outskirts of Takoma Park, in Mont
gomery county, Nd, the victim being Mrs.
Winnie Ramsay Her assailant was Henry
Thurston. Both are colored.
Thurston is shoemaker by trade, and
for some time past, it is said, has been liv-
ing with the Ramsay woman, although it is
claimed that he has wife who resides in
this city.
Thurston and Mrs Ramsay were in town
Saturday evening, and the man INDUCED
freely in intoxicating liquor. The couple
returned to the womans house, on Chest
nut avenue, Takoma Park, shortly after IL
o'clock, when, 1t is alleged, ThurSton be-
gan beating one of Mrs. RamSay'S children
in a most brutal manner. The mother in
terfered. placing herself between the child
and the man. This angered Thurston, who
drew a razor and sprang upon the woman,
slashing her viciously She sank to the
floor with several ugly gashes about her
throat.
Probably thinking the woman had been
killed, Thurston hastily bundled up few
clothes and fled. He was seen about mid
night at Brightwood, but since then has
eluded the police. The fugitive is de-
scribed as a man about thirty-five years
of age. weighing about las pounds, and is
said to have worn gray checked suit.
After the assault the eldest child of Mrs.
Ramsay called for assistance, and DR.. Ben
nett was summoned to attend the woman
the chances for recovery are considered
slight.
The Maryland authorities have taken
steps to apprehend Thurston.
