KENNEDY AND KILDEE
Were Not Quick Enough for Deputy Sheriff
Adams.
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 14.-At mid
night last night at Gem, Idaho, former
Deputy Sheriff Richard Adams shot
and instantly killed Daniel Kildee and
VIM. Kennedy. Both men were union
miners and took a prominent part in
the Occur D'alene strike two years
ago. At that time Adams served war
rant on them and incurred their dead
y enmity. They swore to kill him.
They arrived at Gem several days ago
and have been on the lookout for
Adams ever since then. He was put
on his guard by friends. Late
last night Kildee and Kennedy ran
across Adams in a saloon. Kennedy
leveled his rifle, but before he could
touch the trigger, Adams sent a bullet
through his brain. Without dropping
his arm he turned his gun on Kildee
and shot him through the head before
he had time to draw his revolver.
Both men were dead when bystanders
separated them. Adams was treated
as hero today. The coroner's
jury exonerated him on the grounds of
self defense

KILLED
BY a Shot-Gun, Was Allen WOOdfOrd Oi
Dudley, Noble County.

Special to the Leader.
Macksburg, Ohio. Nov. 14.--At one
o'clock yesterday afternoon a most
sorrowful accident happened near Dud-
ley, in Noble County. Longfellow
Bros we'll on the Ogle farm was be-
ing shot and quite crowd had congre-
gated about the well. Among those
present were several who had been
quail hunting. George Dilley was car
rying Winchester repeating shotgun
under his arm, and when the "go dew
IL was dropped, he with those about
the rig, ran for a place of safety. AS
they ran from the rig, Allen Wood
ford, an elderly gentleman, came run
ming toward the party, inquiring If the
"go devil' had been dropped. At that
moment the shotgun that Dilley held
under his arm was accidently dis
charged and the load struck Woodford
below the knee. Woodford exclaimed,
"Oh, what made you shoot me?" and
became unconscious. Dilley carried
him behind a tree to protect him from
falling stones from the shot well.
Those present did what they could for
the unfortunate man until medical aid
arrived. However, the shock was too
much for the man and he died at $3.50
o'clock yesterday evening 1t was the
shock, more than the seriousness of
the wound. that killed the man.
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock
tomorrow.

PRIVATE DAIRYING.
Results Are Bound to Be Rea-
sonabIy satisfactory.

As a matter of fact the private dairy
man has a decided advantage over the
creamery butter-maker, so says Mrs.
Carrie Wilson in a paper read before
the Vermont State Dairy association.
He controls the feeding of his COWS
and the handling of the milk from the
time it is drawn from the cow until the
butter is made. The patrons of the
creamery always have among them
one or more who are not as careful or
AS cleanly in their methods as they
might be, nor does the carrying of
the milk or cream one to three miles
on a hot day add to its desirable quail
ties; but the buttermaker
is an expert; he is methodical, exact,
and knows how to offset to some ex-
ent the carelessness of his patrons.
Hence his product is more even in
quality and flavor than that of the
average private dairy. If all private
diaries were conducted on the same
lines as the most successful creamer-
les, then the product of the former
would in nearly every instance excel
that of the latter. This is not written
in the way of disparaging the cream
cry. Quite the contrary. 1t has been
the main factor in improving the quail
tiles of the dairy herds, the methods
OF the dairyman and the quality of the
butter made in this and other states.
1t would have required long years, per.
haps a generation. to bring about the
improvements in dairying that the
creamery has done in the past ten. We
only wish that every poor buttermak-
er in the state would become patrons of
a creamery. It would not only help
the quality of the butter market, but it
would be a great help to the market
by Kidding it of the vast amount Of
wretched stuff which now crowds it and
depresses prices But the private dairy
man, just the same, has advantages
which the creamery cannot, from the
nature of the business. enjoy.

difficult for the housekeeper to take i'll
the pail in the morning. The cut shows
a small casing. which may be attached
to the door frame at the right height
to place the pail within convenient
reach. a small opening in the top of
the casing allows the shank of the angle
iron on the can to be inserted, while a
sliding catch at the rear of the casing
engages a notch cut in the side of the
shank. The latch extends backward to
the edge of the door. so that when the
latter is closed it prevents the latch be-
ing drawn backward to release the
shank. Besides preventing theft this
device also supports the can in a posi-
ton to remove the danger of tipping
it over with the foot, and there will be
no milk stains to clean up, as is often
the case when the can is placed on the

the Earth,. Cloud-Belt.

A writer makes a vivid picture of the
great belt of clouds, some 300 miles in
breadth, which surrounds the earth
a little north of the equator. Within
this belt rain almost necessarily falls,
sometimes in sheets, and the wind sell
dom stirs. Before the invention of
steamships vessels becalmed in the
''cloud-beit" sometimes drifted help
less for weeks. Even now the crossing
of this belt, where everything is sur
charged with moisture, is a disagreea-
bic experience for voyagers going from
the North to the South Atlantic ocean,
or vice versa. The belt can be traced
across equatorial Africa and across the
American isthmus, and the great rivers.
Amazon, Orinoco. Niger, Nile and Con-
go. arise in these r~ain-soaked regions,
which are like exhaustless reservoirs.
The cause of the equatorial c~loud-belt
is connected with the tradew winds, and
in the course of a year it oscillates north
and south over a distance equal to
about three times its own BREADTH

Every o~rchardist should make him.
self familiar with the fruit-crop con-
dltlons of each year. In hat way
only can he know how valuable is
the fruit hanging on his trees. A
few years ago, when everything point
ed to the probability of high prices
for apples, the farmers in some coun-
ties almost gave away their apples.
Buyers that understood the conditions
bought up crops on the trees at ten
cents per bushel and made enormous
profits out of the transaction. The
growers thus failed to get their part
of the profits. What shall it profit
a man to spend money and time in
planting an orchard and bringing it
into bearing and then give away its
product? The grower should get
more out of it than any other per-
son; yet it is too often the middleman
that gets all the profits.-Farmers'

TRACK AND SECTION OF ROAD.

TRACK AND SECTION OF ROAD.
fly. The rails are not dependent on
any system of cross ties for support,
but where the ends of the rails are
joined the joints are firmly bolted to a
common cross tie which also helps to
maintain the rails at a uniform dis
lance apart and to keep their surfaces
horizontal.
On the score of expense the steel
roadway is not -extravagant, viewed
in the light of the long service and low
cost of maintenance that may be eX-
pected of it. Of the experimental Sec
lions thus far built, it is said that the
total cost has been not far from one
dollar per foot, but in the event OF
building such roads IN a large scale
this cost can no doubt be reduced by at
least 30 per cent.
In Europe we may find a few interest
ing examples of steel road construction
in a small way. The road between Grac
and Valencia in Spain was completed
in its present form in 1892. 1t is two
miles in length and consists of parallel
steel rails laid at a suitable distance
apart to accommodate the wheels of
passing vehicles. At each side of the
rails are layers of binding stones. the
Dad between the rails being paved
n slightly higher than the face of the
rails.
Previous to 1892 this road was con.
structed of flint stone. and on good au.
thOrity the expense of keeping it in re-
pair is stated to have been $500 pesetas
or about 1892 annually. Since the adop-
ton of the steel rail system the annual
cost of keeping in repair the central
portion of the highway thus relieved
from heavy traffic which passes over
the steel rails, is stated to be only 2,5OG
pesetas or about $3.50. at the current
rate of exchange.
This road has attracted some little
attention. and in response TO inquiries
from various parts of Spain and else
where the municipality of Valencia has
made a statement to the effect that it is
the opinion of its officers that the saw
ing in the cost of repairs by reason of &
road of this kind pays for its construc-
tion in a short time.
The total cost of the two miles OF
road was a little less than S1O.O 1900
vehicles pass over it daily, and a toll
of about three-fourths of a cent is
charged each vehicle.
The most interesting fact in regard
to this road is Thai after eight years OF
service it is still in good condition, the
rails exhibiting a wear of not more than
three one-hundredths of an inch an
nually and requiring little or no atten-
ton OF any kind.-Country Gentleman.

If cow owners would but consider how
the poor animals must suffer toiling
through the blazing heat trying to

hunger from the sunburned pastures,
common humanity would move them

Bismarck,s birthday Presents.

Despite his exile from office, Prince
Bismarck's admirers show no falling off,
if we may judge from the list of gifts
that marked his birthday. The number
of letters, kilograms and presents, in
deed, seems to have been larger than
ever. Among the latter figured flowers
in p~rofusion, cakes, cigars, cheeses, sau-
sages, casks of wine, barrels of beer and
dozens of assorted liqueurs. The accus-
toned basket of plovers' eggs from the
faithful ones of lever was not wanting,
while fredericksburg, in Togoland, sent
a tribute of crows eggs and coffee.
Some Indian prince thought a cage of
doves an appropriate offering. The
oldest present perhaps was that of a
bicycle from several admirers.-London

Change in Farm Operations.

Farm operations for the next few
years are likely to be modified very
much by labor conditions. especially
in the eastern and middle states,
where industrial activity has robbed
the farm of it's workers to a large ex-
tent. In some sections this year there
has been the greatest difficulty in Sc
curing hands enough to take care of
the limited harvest. In such local
tiles farmers are preparing to sow and
plant only such land as they must,
rather thar suffer "inconvenient labor.
Less farming and more grazing is
the tendency in such cases-and when
all is counted up there need be no loss
to figure either.-National Stockman.
