A Murder nj Lornin.

Lorain, December 24.-Evidences of
n murder, with an attempt to conceal
the crime by burning boarding
house, are coming to light here. At
an early hour Friday the restaurant
building of John Dalton was discov-
cred to be on fire, and before the de-
partment could reach the scene, the
fire was past control, and the loss was
almost total.
The inmates of the building escaped
the fire with but single exception.
John Rigo, boarder sleeping on the
second floor of the building, was
missing, and a search of the ruins re-
vealed the body. On his person were
marks of violence, with blood plainly
visible. 1t is supposed the man was
murdered and the building fred to
onceal the crime. Three arrests have
been made.

Remains an unsoIved Mystery.

Lima, Dec. 2s. The American
national bank opened its doors at the
usual time yesterday. The robbery
had little effect on depositors. The
affair is still a mystery. The directors
sent for Pinkerton man and he Wis
tied the bank. He said the vault and
combination lock were of the very best
make. He cannot figure how the job
was done. b. c, Faurot, owner of the
banking room and vault, says the
doors were not locked. Experts say it
'ould be impossible to open the door
with the time lock on without damag-
ing or stopping the clock, which would
have to be run ahead by wire
inserted through the door, but no hole
was made in the door. The amount
stolen was SlS,2OO.

held on the charge of carrying away

THE recent wreck of the steamship
Mohegan on the Manacles near the
Lizard, has led to the suggestion that
the disaster was due to the magnetic
influence of these rocks on the ships
compass. Among those who favor the
view that the ships compass was at
fault is Prof. S. p. Thompson, of Eng
land, who hints that it is conceivable
that in adjusting the compasses before
the voyage the compensation had been
applied in the wrong direction.

Big game is said to be extraordin-
arily plentiful in the region of Fasho-
da. The river swarms with crocodiles
and hippopotami, while great herds of
antelopes of various kinds and giraffes
are frequently met with. The latter
fact is particularly interesting, as
most of the geological gardens in the
world are in want of a specimen of
the North African giraffe, which they
have been unable to obtain, owing to
the closing of the central Soudan for
SO many wears.

inc. The Russian grain crop failed
this year and the millions of peasants,
who have none too much to eat in the

be judged from the report that the

from his private purse, for the relief o.
the destitute, and this is only a frs
contribution. Charitable America will
have another chance to feed Russis

Do not keep too many hens in flock.
Growing chickens usually fatten

Plant plum or pear trees in the poul-

Too much cornmeal Is not healthy

The second care is oyster shells or
whatever you use for she'll material.
The amount that flock of hens will eat
seems almost incredible, but they know
best; your only lookout is TO see that
the boxes are never empty. A dull,
mopy hen rarely lays. More probably
she eats and grows fat, and still doesn't
lay. Scratching pens are desirable, but
everybody cannot afford them. An ex-
cellent substitute is made by throwing
down a bushel of hayseed every few
days on the floor of the common pen.
The hens go for it at once and with
vim. 1t absorbs moisture, gives exer-
derfully. On farm there is plenty of
waste hayseed on the barn floor. Feed
