African Forage Corn.
Lik.W &C.,

The Columbia State says the Rav. a.
E. Qoiek, pastor Of the Wesley NJ. E..
church Of that city, brought to The
State elise Thursdsy, novelty IN the
shape CT some ears Of African forseo
corn. These esrs very much resemble
our Indian corn in appearance, but
there is practically no cob and each Of
the kernels is covered with a kind Of
husk which serves the same ends as fods
der: SO that in eating the corn horse
gets his rougbless at the same time.
This corn hss been e1pe-imented with
in South Carolina during the last four
years and las been found to do excel
lently well. One point in its favor is
that it not only does not require a very
fertile soil, but actually does ba5t on
lands Of medium richness. It is in
tended to put sone Of It on exhibition
At the State fair, in the hope tha. It's
general introduction into this country
may be promoted. As it possesses al
the good qualities Of our Indian corr
and msny others besides, such as hay
ing tsssels flied with grains of corn
and yielding four blades Of fodder to
each joint, it is at least worthy Of a
tris! by our farmers.

An Uaexnected Result.

An amusing episode occurred at Q
political meeting at Layendon dur
ing the general election. After hear
ing the speeches of the candidate and
his supporters an aged conservative
from Wolverton mounted the plat
form and caused some mystery by dra-
maticany holding aloft a walnut,
when he proceeded to say:
"This is political walnut. The
rough shell represents the radicals;
the next, the thin, bitter skin, is the
liberals, and the kernel represents
the good conservative"
4 man in the audience cried out:
"Now crack it,

Exceptionally Le~Ty rainfalls often
occur, sometimes with disastrous ef-
fects. For periods of five minutes rain
falls have occurred at Bismarck, n. D.,
ct the rate of nine inches per hour, at
Jacksonville, Fla, at the rate OF seven
inches, and at Galveston. Tex, at the
rate of e1a inches. In periods Of 60
minutes rain has fallen at these three
stations at the rate OF over two inches
per hour; at Galveston at the rate Of
ph inches. One inch of RAINFALL is equiv
alent to 27,154 gallons of 22e,oOo pounds
on each and every acre of the wetted
area. Rainfall at the rate of nine
inches per hour represents a fall of 49,
500 pounds, or 4,O73 gallons, per min

rainfall would cover each area Of four

KILLED FOURTEEN.
Annihilated Her Family, Including
Four Husbands

Mrs. A. J. WitVor, a widow residing
in Dayton Ohio, has been srrested by
the police at the instigation Of the
coroner and is held a prisoner at central
station pending an investigst!on into
very serious charges. Mrs. Witwer,
the police say, is suspected offourteen
murders, the list including four hus-
bands, h7e children, one sister and four
members Of different families 10 which
she was employed az housekeeper. The
sst SUPPOSED victim was her sister, Mrs.
Auna Pugb. who died week ago under
mysterious circumstances. An autopsy
performed at the request Of Mrs. W.
Ter's mother, who came here from De-
troit, is said to have disclosed the pre-
sence Of arsenic and coppeTss ia tie
stomach. Following closely upon the
death Of her first husband, Fred SchWe-
ger, cane according to the police do
paslmen5 data, the death of her ohll-
dren. The second husband died sud
denly several years after the wedding
and the chilGren Of this marriage died
in rapid succession. Her last husband,
A. J. WiSwer, died last April. In each
instance death was omsahat sudden
aid all we're strangely alike.
The prisoner is foTsy-seVen years Of
age and formerly lived in Middleto I'd,
this state. She has two cons in the
Philippines &rd sister, ii is stated,
IL New York ssylum. No concsiV
able motive for the suspected crimes
has been disclosed. Drugs which we're
found il the house occupied bg Mrs.
Wiawsr ere in possession Of the police
and will be examined.
The third husband Of Mrs. Wit.er
was William Stowe, who died ct Middle
town under Suspicious symptom, it is
stated, Of arsenic poisoning. Mr.
Stoves death st that time crested a
sensation and. vas the suujcct OF an
investigation by the coroner 1t was
shortly after Mr.. Stoves desth that
Mrs. Wiswer came to Dayton. She
shortly afserHard assumed tae duties Of
houeekeeper for Charles Z. Keiie., a
widower. Keller died suddenly and
the information since gained By the
coroner concerning Keller's death is
that his ailment Ras ninilsr to that of
peraoa sfscttd q By poison.
She next acted aS housekeeper for
John A. WeEz, an east end druggist.
Werz died in september ore year sgo.
The dcc:ors attriou'ed his death TO
blood poisoning, but now tell ths coro-
ner that they were dissatisfsd viii
their diagn; sis st the time. Two no lths
before Mr.. WeEz's death his four year
old son died suddenly. Mrs. Stowe nexe
resided with Mr. and Mis-. Gabler, en-
Best street, Riverdale. These TWO p e1-
sons died suddenly, and the coronar
low says that their sickness Eas Of the
nature Of araenical poisoning.
