Carmi. Ills, Aug 23--Shortly before
Mrs. Ivy Crabtree, the murderess of her
brother and the 16-year-old wife and
mother who tried to poison all her
fathers family, was taken aboard the
train for Joliet, where she will serve
fifteen years-minus reduction for good
conduct-she talked freely of her crime
and the motive leading to it. No re-
greet was expressed, and she said she was
glad she was going away from Jail, as
she greatly disliked the close confne-
ment she was subjected to. Il will be
glad when they take me away from this
dismal old JAIL" said Mrs. Crabtree,
for / know that my knew home will
be no worse than my present one, and
l will have companions there, too.
"It's All in a Lifetime"
"Of course, 1 have some friends whom
/ love- and rather dislike to leave, but,
you know, it's all in a lifetime, any
way. Besides that, may get to see all
of them again, anyway, as 1 shall be
only SO years old when my sentence ex-
pires." She talked apparently unmoyed
by her deed. A tinge of remorse, how
ever, seemed to strike her countenance
as her brothers name was called. Il
am sorry that he was killed. she said,
but I had to sacrifice him to fix the

my father would not let me go to

told my troubles to companion one
evening when I went to the pasture aft

fix his wagon" said Mrs. Crabtree,
"and thought 1 would fix him. Ny
husband and 1 have been parted since
the birth of the baby, and had to slip
off from home when l got to see it.

DISCUSSING THE MINE SCALE.

Operators and Diggers' Representatives
Meet at Springfield.
Springfield, Ills, Aug. 23.-The ex-
ecutive boards of the miners and ope-
rators of Illinois met in session yester-
day attempting to adjust the differ
ences over the scale in Pana and the
Chicago and Alton sub-district. The
operators refused to pay a scale of 40
cents per ton. The board of arbitra-
ton recommended a mining rate of
30A cents and 35R cents, respectively,
in the two districts. All the operators
of mines in the Chicago and Alton sub
district and Pana are present at the
meeting-about twenty-five in all.
State President John NJ. Hunter, of the
United Mine Workers. is presiding.
There was a heated discussion among
the operators as to freight rates paid
by the operators of the Chicago and AL
ton sub-district to Chicago. The ope-
rators of the northern field contended
that the rate was 671a cents per ton,
while the Chicago and Alton sub-dis-
trict operators declared that they are
compelled to pay as cents per ton, and
therefore cannot pay the scale of 351a
cents fixed by the state board of arbi-
tration, and still compete with opera
tors in the northern field. The Pana
question was not brought up.
The conference adjourned without
accomplishing anything. Hunter said
the miners would not arbitrate again
and would insist on 40 cents.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu-

the back, a desire to urinate often day
or night, profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing
poisoned and germ-filled blood. Some
times the heart acts badly. and tube

the urine, which il neglected will result
