SENTENCED FOR LIFE
Negro Cavalryman Found Guilty oi
 Criminal Assault.

Huntsville, March -(Special.)-Albert Thompson,a negro of the Tenth cavalry was convicted in the circuit court today of crim- nal assault and sentenced to imprisonmnt for life. Sentence will be suspended for thirty days pending an appeal.
 Thompson entered the bed room of Mrs. Lottie King, this city, while her husband was away and compelled her to submit to him at the point of a pistol. The evidence was most conclusive and the negro would have been lynched but for the nearness of court. The verdict of the jury was await ed with great interest, as it was generally believed that the final disposition of Thomp- sons case would be a strong argument for or against lynch law.
 The jury hung all night, majority of its members fayoring the death penalty.

POLICE COURT
Can't Whip An Irishman.

''The only time you can whip an Irishman is when he is drunk" was an epigram gotten off in the police court yesterday morning by c. H. Curran, who was charged with having an affray with Jim Blakos. This bright saying told Currans side of the difficulty exectly.
 "Why didn't you fight him, Curran?' was asked.
 "He was dago, sir. I don't fight dagoes''
 However, both of these citizens of the great American republic-one of Irish ex- traction and the other son of old Rome or Athens-were given a lesson in the majesty of the law to the extent of $5 each.

 How is your cat?" demanded Judge Feagin yesterday morning, when the of fender was again arrayed for being drunk.
 Well, to tell you the truth, judge, didn't get back to my cat. I stopped in town, and l wish I hadn't. Can't you give me one more chance, judge?"

HOW TO MOLD FACES.
life Masks May he Taken Easily ana
without DANGER

Human life masks may easily be taken
by any one who is at all precise, neat
and willing to devote two or three hours
to learning and experimenting in this in
teresting work. Life masks are always
more satisfactory than death masks, CIV
ing the setting of normal rather than
fixed expression. There is absolutely
no danger, although it is difficult to con-
vince some subjects of the truth of this
statement. When taking a life mask,
the subject is told to sit naturally, with
the head held slightly forward and the
eyes gently closed. An apron is put over
the clothes for protection, and tuft of
cotton is placed in each ear to keep out
the plaster.
The plaster being mixed by dropping
1t into water, one is ready to begin. The
mixing of the plaster to the proper con-
sistency is one of the most important
parts of the work. A little salt may be
added to make it set faster or little
glue to delay the hardening. Bluing or
other color is usually added, SO that
when one comes to chisel the mold from
the cast the two parts can be easily dis
tinguished.
The plaster is splashed over the face
with spoon, knife or stick. The breath
ing of the subject draws the plaster up
an eighth or n quarter of an inch into the
nostrils. Thus the mask receives the
full impression of the nose without any
distortion of that organ by tubes being
inserted in it, The plaster is prevented
from being drawn up too far by an I'M
conscious careful control of the breath.
As the plaster, in setting, reaches the
consistency of cream it may be applied
with knife blade, and so the mask is
built upon until the mold has the desired
| thickness.
Care must be taken to have all parts
! of the face completely covered while the
| plaster is thin and will take in the finest
| lines. The mask must be built strongly
| where it encirces the face and extends
from the forehead to the chin. But I'm.
/ der no consideration should the harden
ing plaster be pressed so much against
1 the thin film first applied as to crush i,
! against the face. 1t is evident that Nc
plaster should be spread over the open
! ings to the nostrils. Within 10 or l:
/ minutes after the plaster is mixed anc
or minutes after it is fully applied
/ the mask may be removed by pullin.
gently forward and downward. Thu
subject must hold his features quietl,
during the operation. for even smil
would break the thin film of plaster from
the face. After removing the mask i
is allowed to harden thoroughly; then
is soaked in water in which washin
soda. alum or some similar substance ha
been dissolved. This prevents the cas-
from uniting with the mold. Plaster o
paris is then run into the mask, an
when it has become set the mold is bro
ken off leaving cast of the face--Sci

TRACING A COUNTERFEIT.
Curious and Exciting Chase by One
of UncI.. SAINTS Detectives

'The tracing of counterfeits back to

work, said an eS-goyernment employee.
"One day back in the seventies, a bank
clerk in Cincinnati detected queer $50
bill in the deposit of Il small retail grocer.
He found that the grocer had received
the bill from Il shoe dealer, who had it
from a dentist, who had it from some
body else and so on. until finally traced
it to an invalid woman who had used ii
to pay her physician. When questioned,
she said the money had been sent to her
by her brother, who lived in New Or

RIGHT-oF-wAY AWARDS.
TTraer STAR lipper.]

The sheriff's jury chosen to award
damages for right-of-way condemned
by the Iowa, Minnesota & Northwestern
division of the c.. & N. w. Railway
Company completed their labors Satur-
day night after four days hard work,
including considerable night work.
There was considerable variance in the
opinion of the jurymen, and the verdict
in nearly every case was compromise.
Some of the farmers We're awarded
about all they asked. while few got
only about half. o. Gavatt. the first
man considered, was awarded $1,000.
The road cuts his farm in bad shape,
but takes only six acres. H. f. Castor
was given sl,750 for about twelve acres.
The right-of way cuts much Of his farm
off from the creek. j. T. Findley gets
1926 for about three acres along the
creek The next condemnation was that
of Ed Whitmore. in Oneida. who gets
81 100 for some eight acres. M. Collins
was awarded $3.50 for seven to eight
acres Mr. Cochina 1915 for two acres,
Fred Shafer $1,000 for eight acres, Mr..
Breja 1850 for six acres. A. w. Fox $500
for three acres and j. Donovan $3.50 for
six acres. The mill property in Irving,
owned by MIR. Chess. is taken by the
right of way. The buildings must all
be moved and the jury awarded the
owner $l,450. He asked $500. Fred
shafer wanted $4,000 In the cases near
Traer the farmers got nearly as much
as they asked. Notices of appeal We're
served by the sheriff this week on o..
Gravatt, Ed Whitmore and Fred Sha-
Ter, and it would seem that these parties
would have to fight their cases in the
district court.
The Star-Clipper also reports that the
people of the little inland village of IT.
wing, few miles south of Elberon, are
to have station after waiting over for
/ ty years. The new railroad company
recently made proposition to give
them station if they would buy the
land needed for depot grounds. A pub
llic meeting was called. Several men
4 pledged 800 each, and they have sue
ceeded in raising the necessary sum,
hence there will be depot at Irving,
making third town between Traer and

The b., c.. r. & N. railway is con-
structing a new line north and west
from Worthfngton, Mimi, to the west
line of the state, which will be complet-
ed within the year. The country through
which the line passes is the best in
southwestern Minnesota, is practically
all under cultivation and thickly settled
by well-to-do farmers, who have been
going fifteen and twenty miles to mar
ket. Arrangements have been made to
lay out towns at the most advantage
Gus locations for business. These towns
will need stores and shops of all kinds
and merchants will find favorable open
ings on this new line. Doctors and pro-
fessional men will also find good loca-
tions.
This company is also constructing a
line from Armstrong to Baskerville, Ia.
There will be two new towns on this
line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and
investors will find splendid opoprtunl-
ties at either of these points
The railway company will, as it has
always done, join with the business

SUGAR BEET GROWING.

MADRID -lSeSlSleT-XSeWS.J
A meeting was held in the city hall
Monday night and the question of rails
ing of sugar beets discussed. Mr.. D. b.
Lyons and Mr.. Emery, of Des Moines.
and MIR. Kingman. of Illinois. had
charge of the mexting and asked for
contracts from our farmers to raise SUI
gar beets for a factory in Des Moines.
Much light was thrown on the subject
by Mr.. Kingman who described in de-
tail the process of planting, raising and
marketing. Quite a crowd listened to
his talk and at the close of the meeting
several acres OF beets We're contracted
for. Many are wary Of taking hold of
this industry from the fact of its new
ness. The raising Of sugar beets re-
quiring different tools and different
knowledge than that of raising corn,
oats or cattle.
Should thousand acres of sugar
beets be contracted for In and around
Des Moines, we are assured of a plant
at some point near here on the Des
Moines river. The matter of raising
beets is one worthy of Investigation and
should be inquired into by our farmers.
Other states have factories and their
farmers who produce the beet claim
that more money can be made on beets
than on any other crop grown. 1t will
be we'll to look the matter up and if
found profitable then contract with this
Des Moines factory.
