their patients lying upon the floor of
the room in every conceivable position.
They found evidences OF arsenical poi
soning and worked all night On
Wednesday Floyd Warthen, a lad of IA
years, grew worse, and died that night.
The married daughter was not very
sick and said she noticed that the cab
bage served for dinner tasted strong,
and did not eat much of it. Suspicion
pointed to a daughter as having some
knowledge of the crime. A package of
arsenic and a box of rough-on-rats was
found in clock, and there was indi-
cation that some of it had been used
lately. 1t was said that the daughter
had recently made threats against her
father, saying she would get even with
him even if she had to harm herself to
do it.
Wayward Daughter Confesses.
Sheriff Ackeman yesterday went to
the neighborhood and summoned the
daughter, Mrs. Ivy Crabtree, to her un-
cle'S house, where by close questioning
he ELECTED from her confession that
she had put rough-on-rats in the cof
fee and over the cabbage served at din
ner. She seemed sorry over the death
of her brother. saying she did not mean
to harm him, but showed no feeling but
anger when speaking of her father ard
stepmother. The daughter is the wife
of George Crabtree, to whom she was
married a little over a year ago. She
has baby about months old. and is
but child herself. being only 16 years

LIKE R0UNDLAP' BALES
Opinions of Cotton Farmers and
Ginners after Seasons
Experience.

The attitude Of cotton ginners
and farmers towards the Round
lap cotaon balar9f the American
Cotton Company, after a seasou's
test of the machine, is illustrated
by letter received recently by
the editor of the Manufacturers
Record, Baltimore, as follows;
Editor Manufacturers Record:
Some time ago you requested
US to give you our opinion Of the
American Cotton Co, IS cylindri-
cal press. At that time we were
unable to give our views corr
rectly, owing to the short time
we had operated the press. Now
that the ginning season has
closed, we can PROFESSIONALLY
say that the press is a success in
every particular, not only from a
ginner's standpoint, but as prac>
tical farmers. The results frc N
sale of our cotton have been en-
inently satisfactory and much
beyond what we had anticipated.
The advantages to planter and
operator are so many that it
would take up too much space
to enumerate them. 1t is suffic.
lent to say that no one who has
baled their cotton on this press
would now. or hereafter patro-
nizs any other. And Why should
they? Their ginning charges are
less than the SO lare- press peo-
pie charge, and they receive
from one-quarter to one>half
cent per pound more than they
could get in the square bale.
There is no question about the
round bale being here to- stay,
and we would advise the ginmen,
especially those who are near a
railroad, to get in the swim at
once aud EN- pllfy The old adage
of the early bird getting the
worm. They will not only bene-
,.5 themselves, but their friends,
the farmers, will get the cream
that the middlemen, the commits
sion merchants. have been enjoy
ing and getting rich upon. In
conclusion, to condense the ad.
vantages, Will say that the bale
is fireproof, waterproof, dust
proof, and proof that it is labor
saying and money making bale
to the farmer.

LUETGEKT DEAD.
The Wife Murderer Found Dead
i'm His Prison Gel at Joliet.

Joliet. Ill, July 28-Adolph L.
Luetgert, the wealthy Chicago
sausagemaker, who was serving
a life sentence in the peniten-
tiary here for the murder of his
wife, was found dead in his cell
to-day.
Drs. Werner and O'Malley held
a postmortem examination, dis
closing the fact that Luetgert
died from fatty degeneration of
the heart.
Frank Fry Pratt, a member of
the Chicago Bar said tonight that
Adolph Luetgert confessed Feb>

his wife,

:.He told me he had killed her.
said Mr.. Pratt. He started to
tell me some of the details, but

ary. 1898, that became acquaint>

ed with the Chris Merry defense,
and in my visits to my client I
became acquainted with the saus
sage-maker. He was told by one
of the jailars that l was a palm
reader, and one day as l was
passing his cell, asked me to
read his hand. I did so. I found
the lines of fatality, or predesti-
nation, very strong, and I told
him that there were influences
that he could not resist that led
him on. I told him that from his
hand I could readily see that he
was not responsible for his &C.
tions in the sense of self-ress
traint. He then said:
LOVED ANOTHER
'.Yes, that is so: I did kill my
wife, was possessed of the deyil
and killed her because I was in
love with another woman, He
then started to tell me about the
vat, and said his wife attempted
to make a dying statement to
him when the dogs began to
growl aud he put an end to her.
It was then that he switched off
TO cursing. AS I considered it a
professional one, respected it
until death has now placed him
beyond further human reach"

preparing to publish, as pri~

North Carolina Supreme court re-
ports, annotated and corrected. He
adds that he has already taken a

Before going forward w:tb this
enterprise, however, Mr.. Mum
roe desires to know Of the Secre-
tary of State how many reports
the State has on hand and how
many volumes of each number.
This information the Secretary
declines to give, as he can't zee
how it can be materid to the en-
terprise proposed and he can see
how it might be used to the pre-
JUDGE of the State and to the very
great disadvantage of the legal
1
fraternity in North Carolina.
Heretofore the State has pub
lished these reports exclusively
and is now selling them at $1.5
