A WOMAN ELECTRICIAN.
She Did All the Wiring for a Syra-
 cuse, N. Y., Theater.

Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 26.-The new Wieting opera house, which has just been opened, was wired by woman, Mrs. W. J. Blackburn of New York, wife of a theatrical electrician, came here on July 20 to execute for her husband the contract for the electri- cal work, and continued solely in charge of it until few days before the opening. Mrs. Blackburn makes a speciality of designing switchboards and with her husband has wired many prominent theaters.
 Mrs. Blackburn says the work is fascinating, and, as far as she knows, she is the only woman in the coun- try who makes this a business.

sweeter and superior in every way to the California product. Conse- Quently, when it came time to draw on outside sources for peaches to take the place of the exhausted Texas crop, attempts were begun to secure regular shipments from Oklahoma The ship pers there were wary about the matter at first, fearing that, on account of the long distance, the fruit might be injured in transfer and heavy losses ensue. This was proved fallacy by actual experiment, and during the last month frequent and neavy shipments have been made and the market sup piled largely with Oklahoma peaches. One of the leading commission men made the prediction yesterday that if the express companies continued to do their part in the way of fair rates the Oklahoma peach would be sold here exclusively next year after the Texas fruit season ends"

 Another paper in the dead mans clothes was 8 receipt from Mrs. c. B. Eeigman, proprietor of the Utopia hotel of St. Paul, Minn, for a month s room rent. It was made out to 'Mr. Kline" and read, For rent of room No. 72 for month ending November 30, $1S96, s6."
 The body was found about eighty feet from the main road at Turner in the extreme west end of Argentine by Edward Davis, driver for August Jasper, a coal dealer. The murder was a horrible one. The mans head had almost been beaten into a pulp with a coupling pin and his throat had been cut with a razor. There were no signs of a struggle around the spot where the body was found, and it is probable that the murdered man was struck down from behind. There was a hole in the back of the head. After he had fallen the pin was wield- ed on his head and face. His fore head was mashed in and his jaw was broken. Near his feet lay the bloody razor, and it is probable that this was taken from the murdered mans pock- ct, as case was found in which it had rested in the mans shirt bosom. The railway coupling pin covered with blood was found close to the mans head.

CALIFORNIA PEACHES oUTDoNE
Oklahoma Fruit Drives All Others Gu
 of the Texas Market.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 27.-Oklahoma peach growers are greatly encouraged over their success in{ finding a profit able market this yeara The size and flavor of the peaches won buyers at once wherever the fruit Twas shown. The following extract taken from a San Antonio, Tex, newspapeS, tells how Oklahoma peaches have cQme to the front in that state:
 "As usual, all the peaches received yesterday came from Oklahoma. ii this connection it may be stated that there has been nothing short of a revo- lution during the last month in SUD- plying of this fruit for the San An tonic market. Oklahoma has almost completely supplanted California as the source of supply. Heretofore af- ter the Texas crop had been exhaust ed, generally during the middle part of August, virtually all the peaches sold in this market came from Califor- mia. Early this season several small shipments of Oklahoma peaches re- ceived here convinced the produce men that the fruit from that section was

MISS EVA BEEM ACQUITTED.
Suspended Hutchinson Money Order
 Clerk Not Guilty of Theft.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. s7.-The case of Eva Beem of Hutchinson, Charged with the embezzlement of $1 800 from the postoffice there, went to the jury tonight. When the first ballot was taken eleven jurors were for acquit- tai and a little later a verdict of not guilty was returned Miss Beem said that she had assurances from Wash ington that her old place in the Hutch !nsoa postofice would be given back to her and that she would afterward secure an appointment at the national capital for which she is an al plicant. Many sympathetic spectators con gr atuIated Miss Beem.
 Miss Been had been in charge of the money order department of the Hutchinson postoffice ten years, when / in December, 1896, an inspector, MT. Cochran, in checking up her depart ment as matter of form, found only a little change in the money box, whereas the books, which appeared to be in excellent shape, showed cash balance of s1,2O0. The stamp fund was afterward found to be $500 short.
 Miss Beem was suspended, but her good reputation, her Iong service and the high commendation of three post masters caused a general belief at Hutchinson in her innocence and the interest there in the trial has been intense. Her friends argued that oth- CTS had had access to the money and that the general records of the office had been so badly kept that the in- spector had recommended the removal of the postmaster, MT. Mead, for in- competency. His removal was one of the late acts of MT. Cleveland's second administration.

New Orleans. Sept. 27-The warm weather in the past two or three days has had the effect of increasing to some extent the number of new cases of the prevailing type of yellow fever, but it has equally had the effect of sending down the death rate. There were twenty-uhree cases on Saturday, seventeen yesterday and twenty-one today; but there were only two deaths on Saturday, none on Sunday and two today The present experience there fore, proves that warm weather adds to the number of cases, but reduces the mortality,

Old Christmas Customs.

Among the people of the north.
ern countries, Christmas was called,
in ancient times, Yule-tids. Az the
sun travelled swiftly across the sky,
like revolving wheel, tho month
when he apparently moved fastest.
since the days were very short, was
known as the Yule, or wheel month.
On certain day Of this month the
people assembled upon mountain,
set fire to an immense wheel, twined
with straw, and sent it rolling down
the hill. All ablaze, it continued
to roll until it reached . river, or
pond, when it plunged in with .
loud hiss.
Anoth her Yuls-tide custom was
the burning of the Yule-log, q usage
afterward adopted in England. The
log was drawn in triumph from it's
resting place in the woods, and was
carried into the house to the sound
of the music. It was lighted by a
brand of the last years log, care
fully preserved for the purpose, and
unless it burned all night, some
misfortune Was destined to befali.
The log was considered protection
against the evil spirits over whom
this season was q triumph.
