FAMOUS MURDER CASE.

Detectives Worked for Months to Clear
 Up the Killing of Three Men-Evi-
 dence Came Bit by Bit.
 The trial of George O'Brien, which concluded in the accused being found guilty of the murder of Lynn Relic, of Seattle, was the unfolding of the most sensational story as to the plot of the guilty and the work of the detectives and police ever chronicled in the north, writes Dawson correspondent of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
 The accused denied his guilt to the end, and even after sentence had been passed. He was found guilty on cir cumstantial evidence, and yet the jury was so convinced that the man was

MISCHIEF MAKER.
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a baby proves itself to be nourishing and easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says: 'When baby was about eleven months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was at first attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were coming, but in reality the poor little thing was starv- ing, his mothers milk not being suffi- cient nourishment.
 One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with little sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so sravenously that she fixed a second which he likewise finished It was not many days before he forgot all about being nursed, and has since lived al- most exclusively on Grape-Nuts. To- day the boy is strong and robust, and as cute a mischief-maker as thirteen months old baby is expected to be.
 We have put before him other foods, but he will have none of them, evident .ly preferins to stick to that which dld him so much good in his time of need his old friend Grape Nuts.
 Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and l can never praise Grape Nuts enough after the brightness it has brought to our household. These state ments can be verified by anyone who wishes to make a visit to our home" F. F. McElroy, 256 So. 3rd St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Grape Nuts is not made for baby food but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best in use. Being scientific preparation of Natures grains it is equally effective as a body and brain builder for grown-ups. E

Denmark DOinSS.

DENMARK, February 13.-The most
perplexing question which confronts this
people Just now is, "Where is the centre
of gravity of Denmark" Some old
pioneers claim that it is to be found in
that part of the town once known as
"Grahams;" others claim, with equal en-
phasis, that it is to be found where the
brick stores and new buildings are now
located. Where shall we build a $4,000
church? Here" say the West End
folks. mo sirs," cry the East EnderS.
Where shall we build the new school
house? Here" say the West End en-
thusiasts. Let good enough alone, is
the retort of the East End dissenterS. In
town elections, the same spirit prevails
and ere long these diverging principles
will become permanent barriers to all
social and temporal progress. The local
issues which are now in order and sub
iect to debate are demanding the very
serious consideration of the leading citi-
zens A stride in progress must be made.

health of the general public to walk a
thousand yards to church and far beyond
the capacity of the average school boy or
girl to walk two and half or three miles
to school. The modern idea is to have
the church in the business centre of town
and the school house so located that the
sound of its cheap tower bell can be dis
tinctly heard by all. The West End
folks are claiming the advantage of
natural elevation and from their mound,
several feet in excess over the valleys of
old Grahams, the mandates of the great,
sweep down. The fashions of the two
Ends differ At West End the greatest
amusement is afforded by q tisticuff be-
tween two giants. The "casus belli" of
such exhibitions may be less in degree of
importance than the misdirected range
of chickens. The East End business man
is more brutal in his choice Of pleasure
and indulges in the high sport of shoot
ing his neighbor's "yaller dog" What
will the future be? Echo answers, "The
survival of the tittcst."
Miss Maud Inez Tillman has returned
to her schoOl-rOom work, after being
absent several weeks, leaving her home
bereft of father. He died just one week
ago. Oh, the irreparable loss of father!
The world will never be the same to our
teacher. Home will ever have its deep
shadows. Isn't it sweet and grand,
noble and good, for God to give abiding
grace to his bereaved children! }.

Mr.. Huepr Hurt.

Some weeks ago piece was published
in the State saying that at cockhght
near Camden, some Darlington County
men doubled teamed Il crippled man and
so beat him that he would probably lose
his cyesight 1t turns out that the young
man who received these injuries was Mr..
Huger, young man well known in this
county where he bought cotton Il few
years ago. He had but one leg, though
he used cork leg so sprightly that he
appeared not to be badly crippled. He
had lost one or two fingers from each
hand, and now the news comes that he
NAV be blinded for life. Indeed the sight
of one eye is said to be entirely destroyed.
Mr.. Huger appeared always to be very
jovial, genteel, well-bred young gentle
man and his friends in this county will
regret to know that misfortune has again
overtaken him.-Orangeburg Patriot.
The Mr. Huger spoken Of in the above
article is well-known in this section,
having bought cotton at Denmark for one
or more seasons.

ADVANCE, S. c., Jan. o9.-Dcar Brother
Wilkes:-After an illness of eight long
weeks our beloved daughter, Mamie o.
Willis, fell asleep in Jesus last Saturday
the Goth, at $50 o'clock p. m., just as the
sun was setting. Our eyes are filled with
tears, and our hearts with sadness Oh,
how we all miss her. All that the skill
of physicians and the loving ministry
of loved ones and our earnest prayers.
mingled with the prayers of many Others,
seemed to avail nothing in her behalf.
The Lord saw fit to take her to Himself
just at this time The Lord could not
answer our prayers, because, as DR.. Guy
Ter has said, the Lord wants always to do
absolutely the very best thing for us.
We bow to His will. We sorrow and
weep rs did our Savior for his friend
Lazarus, but we 'sOrrOw not even as
others which have no hope
Giving her hand to the church and her
heart to God at 13 years OF age, she for
Il years proved her love and devotion
to her church and Savior by her work in
the Sunday-school. Woman's Missionary
Society, and her gifts to His cause.
Upon the very eve of her departure
heavenly glow of JOY and happiness lit
up her countenance, such as have never
witnessed before, and was observed by
all around. May we believe that she was
greeted just at that time by her sweet
little babe, who had preceded her about
year ago, and other loved ones, to
accompany her up to that fairer and
brighter world. Looking steadfastly
on her we saw her face as it had been the
face of angel" Acts G:15.
Three of our children have passed over
to the other side and two remain. Our
separations are sad and painful now, but
what happy meeting it will be. She
was laid to rest in the cemetery at An
drew Chapel beside her little babe, to
await the resurrection morn Pray for
us. Yours fraternally,
