MURDERED IN THEIR HOME.
A Missouri Lady and Her Four Chill
dren Meet an Awful Fate.

St. Louis. April 27.--A special from
Maiden. small village in southeastern
Missouri. SAYS Mrs. Jane TettatOn,
widow of Wash. Tettaton, a prominent
man of that section. and her four chill
dren were murdered Tuesday night.
The bodies were partially incinerated
in their home, which was set on fire
by the murderer. j. II. Tettaton, Il
son of Wash. TettatOn by his first wife,
is under arrest for the crime. Tetta-
ton. as the administrator of the estate
of his father, had been at law fire.
quentIy with Mrs. Tettaton owing to
property disputes.
Tettaton went to his srepmother's
home to adjust matters and that was
the last seen of the widow and her chill
dren alive. About 9 p. IN. neighbors
saw that rhe Tettaton home was on
FIRE and on reaching there discovered
the bodies of the five victims in the
flames. Vigorous efforts on the part
af those present saved them from total
destruction As il was the bodies
We're burned past recognition. One
of the children had bullet wound in
the head and half the mothers skull
was gone. J. II. Tettaton was found
in the yard with 13 knife wounds on
the head and face. apparently uncon-
ecious. His wounds are trihing.
Tettaton told many conflicting
stories of the affair, but sticks to the
statement that the crime was commit
ted by two unidentified men who came
up while he and his stepmother were
talking and demanded money. He re-
fused to give it up and the men opened
fire. At the first fire Tcttaton said
the widow fell, and as he ran into the
ward he was cut and beaten into insen-
sibiIity.
The dead woman seems TO have had
a presentiment that something would
happen to her. She spoke of this 10 a
neighbor on Tuesday and told of mys-
terious visit J. II. Tettaton made 10
the house recently at night. There
is intense feeling against Tettaton and
as there have been threats of Iynching,
the sheriff has taken him to a safe
place \ knife and pistol. identified
as the property of Tettaton, have been
recovered from the ruins.

GLASS RETAINS HEAT.
Professor of Physics Explains In a
Simple Way why Greenhouses
Stay Hot Inside.

1t is very curious, said the old profess
sor of physics, to see how many market
gardeners there are who raise things
under glass, make money out of the
process, and yet do not know why their
heating frames and their hothouses re-
main hot inside.
Now, as a matter Of fact, the heat
mechanism of a hothouse depends on
well known proposition in physics.
! suppose you are acquainted with the
fact that the energy from the sun trav-
els in the form of little waves.
The energy does not come down to
us in straight lines; it comes, as it were,
in Zigzag manner, dancing from side
to side as it comes along. If these
waves are very short, light is the result;
if they are a trihe longer, they take
the form of heat.
If the light waves strike anything
on the way down, they are very apt to
be made longer, or rather are apt to be
turned into heat. Now, the waves which
form light are so short that they will
readily pass through glass, but the
waves which form heat are so long that
they will not pass through.
From this, therefore, you will see
why a hothOuse remains hot. The en-
ergy from the sun passes into the house
through the glass roof in the form CT
light. Then it strikes the objects in
the house and is turned to heat.
But this heat cannot pass out through
the glass. The heat waves are too long.
So the light keeps coming in and the
heat keeps accommodating, and soon the
hothouses become very warm, indeed
even on the coldest days in winter.
OF course, our dweIling-houses are
heated by the sun in the same way. The
light comes in through the windows.
but the heat cannot pass out.-Boston
Globe.

who started out tracer for the car load
of ore. tracer is a document on
which every agent, train conductor and
every other person who has had any
thing to do with the shipment must say
whence he took it and where he laid it
down. From the mine in Mexico the
car of ore was traced from junction
point to junction point until it was we'll
within the railroad company's local
yards at Kansas City, and thence to
side track by the roundhouse and into
the possession of the master me-
Chanic.
a car load of crushed gold ore looks
Ike a lot of course yellow sand, and this
particular car load has been knocked
about and disrespected as a car of com
mon sand should be. When the officials
were notified that the tracer had chased
the ear into the master mechanics track
they sent him a note asking him about
the disposition of the car, giving its
number. The master mechanic turned
the note over and indorsed it on the
back: The car contained bad quality
of sand. Some of it used in the sand
boxes of the engines, but il was not
serviceable, so | had it scattered along
the right of way" The railroad com
pany paid the smelling COMPANY $3.50

ROOTS FOR THE DAIRY.
why Farmers should Plan to Plant
an Acre or Two to the Sue
cuIent Mangel.

Wherever few cows are kept for
milk or butter it would be well to CON
slider the advisability of growing few
roots. A ton of roots does not have as
large a food value as most feeds we
might mention, but it furnishes sue
culence which cannot be obtained in
winter from any other food except ST.
lage. Silage requires equipment in the
way of silo and cutting machinery
which is not available to the man with
a small herd. Roots may be grown on
any good loam soil, and will yield
profitable return in feed for labor eX-
pended.
At the Indiana station mangels were
grown at a labor cost of $l.07 a ton.
This included plowing, fitting, plant
ing, wedding, cultivation and harvest
ing. The variety which made the larg-
est yield and was easiest to remove from
the ground and handle to and from the
wagon was the Giant Yellow Inter
mediate. 1t grows well out of the
ground. The neck of the largest man
gels of this variety were small enough
to be grasped and picked up convenient
ly with one hand. This is large saving
in time over the varieties which are so
large and round like ball that they
must be fumbled to get good hold, or
possibly use two hands. The Nam
moth Long Red mangel is a good ham
dler, but last season did not yield as
well as the Giant Yellow intermediate.
Four varieties varied in yield from 16
to 25 tons to the acre.
Plant in rows from IS to 30 inches
apart, depending upon the man and
horse which must cultivate them. Sow
at the rate of six pounds to the acre.
A good stand of plants will permit cut
ting out with a hoe all but bunch
every eight inches, then these should be
thinned with the hand, leaving only the
strongest plant of the bunch. 1t is es-
pecially desirable that this thinning be
well done. Where two plants are left
together neither makes a good growth
in size or shape.
Care should be taken not to allow the
weeds to get started ahead of the man
gels. Keep the ground loose by means
of cultivation. A spike-tooth cultivator
or weeder works nicely. A chain drag
ging behind leaves the ground in very
nice condition.-H. f. Van Norman, in
Farm and Fireside.
