Those monstrous eight-foot potato
vines that have been on view at the
DEMOCRAT Office since Thursday of last
week are from the garden Of Joseph
Charron, farmer living near Wang post
Office. He takes pride in the fact Mat
he has nearly half an acre over which
the potatoe tops lay entangled lile a
mass of pea vines, none less than six
feet in length and many larger than the
sample he brought to town, measuring
eight feet. The rank growth of the
plant above ground, strange as it may
seem. has not interfered with the yield,
which on quarter of an acre patch al
ready dug produced fifty bushels. The
vines indicate that one crop is not
enough as at different places along the
stalk young potatoes, perfec in fosma-
ton are found, of course with no
possibility Of maturing but adding to
the curiosity of this potato plant Chat is
mighty hard to beat.

Learning American WAYS.

One of the most gratifying things in
the reformation of Porto Rico is the
guicllness with which the natives have
caught the American spirit of cleanli-
ness. Not only are many of them imi-
tating the examples placed before
them or following directions of the
authorities, but they are quick in re-
porting delinquencies in their neigh
bors. Apparently n feeling has got
abroad that it is quite the proper
thing to maintain personal and do
mestic cleanliness. Commenting on
this recent correspondent Of Dos-
ton medical papers says that the sci
entific sanitation of the island is not
likely to be difficult task. The death
rate there, even at its worst, is much
lower than in Cuba, and, with the
happy tendency of the people to adopt
the new order of things, there is no
reason to believe that this rate will
not speedily be reduced. The cores.
pondent calls attention to the willing
ness with which the natives have tax.

The Sausage Maker Expires In His
Cell in Joliet Prison.

Joliet, ILL.,, July 2s.-Adolph L. Luet-
gert, the wealthy Chicago sausage
maker who was serving life SEN
tence in the penitentiary for the ,nur-
der of his wife, was found dead in his
cell Thursday. the authorities were
unable to ascertain the cause of his
death, and an inquest will be held to
determine whether he killed himself
or died of heart disease.
The trial of Luetgert in Chicago at
tracted widespread attention, and was
one of the most sensational in the
history of the state. Luetgert was
charged with having murdered his
wife in the basement of his factory
and cooked the body to pieces in vat.
The prosecution had but few small
bones and two rings as evidence that
their theory was correct, but secured
the conviction and life sentence.
Frank Fay Pratt, member of the
Chicago bar, said last night that Lieut.
gert confessed in February, 1898, that
he had killed his wife.
''He told me he had killed her." said
Mr.. Pratt. "He started to tell me
some of the details but fell to cursing
about the affair. and / was unable to
lead him back to the unfolding of the
steps in the crime He said: Il did
kill my wife. l was possessed of the
devil, and killed her because / was in
love with another woman. He then
started to tell me about the vat and
said his wife attempted to make dy-
ing statement to him when the dogs
began to growl and he put an end to
her. 1t was then that he switched
off to cursing. As l considered the
confession professional one l re-
spectcd Ii until death has now placed
him beYond further human pursuit"
