to the Death in n Buggy.
Arlington. ILL.,, July Miss Emma
Herboldsheimer and Charles Saltzman,
one-time sweethearts. engaged in duel
yesterday in buggy behind a runaway
horse. The girl began the shooting be-
cause Saltzman refused to keep his prom
Use and marry her. Young Saltzman. who
is the son of prominent farmer, was at
tending picnic when Miss Herboldsheim-
er drove to the grounds and asked him
to take a drive with her. Saltzman ac-
cepted the invitation and took the reins
from her hands. He bade his companions
at the picnic goodby, gave flick with the
whip, and they were of down a lane lead
ing toward Seatonville.
The buggy had not gone far when Miss
Herboldsheimer began chiding her lover
for his indifference and reminding him OF
his promise to wed. Soon they were en-
gagged in heated quarrel. Miss Herbold-
sheimer asked Saltzman ii he was going to
keep his promise to marry her. To this
the young man replied with an emphatic
negative. Miss Herboldsheimer drew a re-
voiver out of the folds OF her dress, placed
the muzzle against Saltzmans side, and
pulled the trigger The bullet went home.
! Dropping the reins, Saltzman grasped the
girl with his left hand. at the same time
drawing his own revolver.
A struggle now ensued. with the buggy
swaying from side to side as the fright
ened horse dashed down the lane. Saltz-
mans blood dyed the clothing of the girl.
! Superior strength finally prevailed and
/ Saltzman bent the girl backward over the
1 seat Of the buggy, holding her arm In such
a position that she could not shoot While
thus helpless he emptied every chamber OF
! his revolver into the body of the girl.
| When the horse was stopped both were
exhausted from loss of blood. Reports
from Seatonville say that it is only a ques-
tion of a few hours when death will claim
them. Miss Herboldsheimer is the daugh-
ter of wealthy parents.

NEEDED FOR UTAH SHEEP.
Wool Growers Ask Permission TO
Use the Uinta Reservation.

The people of the northeastern section
of Utah are urging the Government to
yield them the privilege of pasturing their
sheep on the Uinta reservation, and former
Senator Arthur Brown and Hon. Jesse
Smith. of Salt Lake City. are now in
Washington in the interest of the wool
growers. The Uinta reservation was set
apart as a forestry reservation under
Cleveland's last Administration. and it
embraces s75.000 acres. Senator Brown
says that the sheep raising interests
amount to fully 40 per cent of the entire
Industrial interests of Utah. and to bar
the sheep raisers the right to use the
reservation for pasturage purposes Will
very soon greatly lessen the revenue to his
people.

Seattle. Wash, July IA score OF
miners are said to have died of scurvy at

Scurvy appeared among them, and soon
half the men were sick. Those of the
miners who could move loaded their sleds
and left. The medicine was soon exhaust

and no source from which any could be
secured. A number of the men escaped

One point in favor of thus cutting back

makes the orchard more attractive,
and is an indication that the owner has
some system as to the shape his trees

might be saved to the planter If the
trees were trimmed at the nursery
thus saving freight on the

The color Of mushrooms is also an In
dication but not an indisputable test.
AS a rule all bright or highly-cOlored
sorts are to be avoided. The deadly
Aninita Muscarius is perfectly beauti-
full with white gills and bright red
pileus spotted with white. Give it
look of admiration for it is as pretty
as flower, but pass it by. Also the
deadly boletus has a lurid red cap
with light gills and white spores. The
bOleti, however, number several edible
sorts, and it is easy to distinguish be-
tween them and the suspicious mem.
Der of the family, by the light-colored
gills the white spores and the vOlva or
socket, that is sure to surround the
stem of the last named.
Accurate knowledge Of the botanical
differences and distinctions may be
easily acquired and is the only safe
guide. The ordinary tests Of fetid
mushrooms turning silver dark, are not
to be depended upon. The 'horse," or
cultivated mushroom is never poison.
Gus and a mushroom bed is cheaply
and easily made, from the spawn in
the form of brick that is sold by reli-
able dealers in garden supplies. Brok.
en- into bits the spawn may be planted
in boxes or beds Of rich, heating COM
post and as it multiplies like yeast,
one moderate start is all an amateur
will need for perpetual supply. The,
'buttOns,' or recipient mushrooms are
the product of heat and moisture, ap-
piled to the bed of spawn and they
spring up so freely and cover the sur
face of the rich soil, that the bed is
as charming to look at as would be a
bed of tender, young blossoms.
Experts say that American growers,
as rule, let their mushrooms get too
large before plucking them for use.
The French growers pluck their crop
when about the size Of a half-dollar.
The aroma and delicate flavor are finer
in the half-grown sizes and they are
considered more digestible It is essen
tial to pluck up roots or threads en-
tire, when gathering the mushrooms,
as, if they are left to decay, after the
stem or stipe is plucked, they will con-
vey the germs of decomposition to the
growing roots.
Mushrooms are Independent of sea
soning, as they impart their own flavor
to game fish or fowl and are juicy
and sweet eaten alone.-The Floral

Contract for a Bridge Awarded Without
"A Chance Being Given for
Competition.

The county board has decided to go
after people who are said to be conceal,
ing their wealth from the assessor by
investing it in other counties. Chas.
W. Welman, of Sullivan, Ind, who
makes a business of doing the sleuth act
in such cases appeared before the board
and offered his services and they were
accepted. He will visit other counties
and look over the records, and as COM
pensation will receive one-half of all of
the funds paid into the treasury by rea-
son of his work. He pays all of the ex-
penses.
Mr.. Welman will make an investiga
ton to determine whether or not any
individuals subject to taxation in this
county, have fraudulently, wrongfully
or unlawfully omitted or concealed any
part of their personal property or real
estate subject to taxation, and to deter
mine whether or not there are any
moneys due the county from the state
or any other source. he proposes to
make careful and diligent search for
such omitted or concealed property, and
honestly and fairly report to the proper
officials for assessment and entry on
the tax list all of such property, and
also careful and diligent search for
moneys due the county from the state
or any other source.
The board instructed the register of
deeds to list all contracts and bonds for
deeds and furnish list of them to the
various assessors of the county to be as
sessed.
Without receiving any bids or giving
other companies a chance to compete
for the work, the board awarded the
contract for furnishing small iron
bridge over the Little Cobb river on
the town line between Medo and Dan
Vile to L H. johnson, of Minneapolis,
representing Milwaukee company, for
$780, After awarding the contract for
the bridge, the board decided to ask for
bids for the piers upon which it shall
rest, to be received at the next meeting.
