ATTORNEY GENERAL MAY ACT
Prisoner Nav iIayc Hearing Before
a Magistrate on Account Of Con-
Iliciing Testimony
snoclal 10 The Evoning journal.

Harrington, March l6.-Ac.e.u. .4g TO
the verdict Oi ths cJrCngfs ju.y. pro-
duccd at the inquest yesterday. Daniel
Bending, under arrest as Jns probable
slayer OF agod George w. Hearn, in
Harrington, Is not connected with the
crime closely enough ter the jury to
reccpmend that he be held by the au-
thorities.
After examining twenty witnesses
and spending two days in endeavoring
TO tix the identity OF the murderer, the
Icoroners jury late yesterday afternoon
rendered a verdict to the effect that
Mr. Hearn came to his death at the
hands of person or persons unknown
Daniel Bending was arrested by De
tective McNey the morning after the
murder
Mrs. Bending corroborated the pris-
loner's claim that he had procured 500
from her On the day OF the murder But
she denied that she knew the money
was 10 be used in paying off a ncte. CT
that any part OF II had been given her
by Bending to keep for him.
Il earned it all myself" she declared
with emphasis.
Bending was placed on the stand af-
| lterward and asked W he wanted to
make any statement regarding the
money he got from his mother. Act
ing under the advice of his counsel.
Thomas c. Frame, of Dover, he at first
refused To- make any statement. Then.
las If suddenly changing his mind. he
ssid that he would

exclaimed, II didn't use ths money.

"Nuu have told Detcctiva McVey that

said the Rev DR.. Phillips. foreman OF
iftho jury. Where did the other s25
lcome frcm?'
II got that from a party here I'm
town but J won't say who" was the re-
ply because L don't want to expose
him."
i While There was absolutely no testi-
lmony % connect the accused man with
tho killing, The statements of several
lof the witnesses, among them that of
blending himself, were contradictory
enough TO cause Deputy State Attorney
ikicharts. who was present at the in
quest, to express dissatisfaction with
lthe verdict of the coToners jury. and
10 is probable that Bending will be
compelled TO face a hearing before a
magistrate. One Of the most import
ant witnesses examined was Mrs Su.

"Now, gentlemen, propose to offer
for sale formula for making fourteen
different colors of paint from salt wa
ter marsh mud, ut a cost OF 10 Genus
10 81 per hundred pounds. Ihese
naints made from marsh mud can be
seen at my place of business for your
investigation.
Paints made from.!marsh mud are
indesiructible, being rendered into
carbon which is not affected by air or
wafer. and cannot be dissolved by any
known liquid. But paints are not the
only things l can make from marsh
mud, as I can demonstrate to any IN
teIligent, chemically or mechanically
turned mind, that it will make vitri-
fed sidewalk and street paving, ma
terial for stores, bath tubs, cooking
utensils of all kinds, buckets, fence
posts, all cOIOrs Of brick for building,
telegraph and telephone poles, glass,
etc. 1t also produces a carbon paint
oil, which is superior to linseed oil and
gives a harder and better finish, anG
ONLY costs Il cents a gallon at the
highest, while linseed oil costs about
66 cents a gallon in large quantities"

He Loved Her Better Than She
Knew"

The wife of DIR. J. Van Elderen
committed suicide in the little town
of Milton by taxing large dose Of
morphine several days ago.
In enumerating the causes which
led to the rash act, the husband writes
as follows 10 the editor of the Starke
Telegraph:
There are three persons living who
know the whole cause of her suisse
quent act. It dates from the first
days of our acquaintance. She need
ed a physician in her sickly condi-
ton. Her parents were poor and she
was unable to work. She tried to
love me, but an early love-the man
now ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS all.
Recent communications from him to
me brought back to her past memo
ries, and wishing 30 longer to live a
lie with the man who had done 80
much for her to save her life and sup
ported her at such an expense. she re-
leased herself from a world, which
neither for her nor for me could have
auy further attraction.
This, Mr.. Editor, is is concise as |
could make it in order ~ give your
readers and my friends in Starke an
idea of the circumstances Of the case.
The whole history. with its details,
will be found in my trunk after my
death, or, if think best, I may pub
fish il during my life. l will cherish
and hold sacred her memory as long
as I live, for I loved her better than
She knew.n

Is ARITHMETIC THE MOST DrPoE

Is ARITHMETIC THE MOST NIPOF-
TANT PART OF EDUCATION?
y list of six questions was given,
that l might see what the Students
considered the most important thing
in the way of an education. The
questions were rs follows:
|. Ofthe common school branches,
which do you like best?
>. Which do you dislike most?
3. Which do you thiuk the mos
important?
1. Which do yoH think the least
important?
Which DO you think your teach
er thinks the most important?
9. Which do you think he consia-
ers least important?
Tweuty-four lists Of answers were
given me. From these it dev0lvad
that the most popular branch of stud
with these students is arithmetic.
Fourteen votes for this branch, while
the next most Observation-Disclosures
ceived only four votes.
The question Is to Che most uupop-
uIar study was not 50 decisive. Spell
ing lei the list with only eleven votes.
while geography, arithmetic, gram
mar and history each received four
votes. Arithmetic was likewise con
sidered most important, but by
comparatively modest plurality Of
nine votes. Reading comes a close
second with seven, and grammar re-
ceivcs five.
BY "a vote Of ten To seven it seems
that these students consider geogra-
ply least important, the latter num-
Der being to history.
The fifth and sixth questions were
asked emily to see an undue portion
of time had been given to any
branch, or any undue stress laid upon
it. The result was very gratifying, as
every branch except geography re-
ceivpd one or more votes. However.
arithmetic received eight votes, fol-
lowed by reading..with seven. The
one supposed to be least favored was
voted by q plurality of ten to be
geography.
From these and similar questions it
seems to me there is no question in
the mind.of the average student As to
which branch is the most important.
1t was my purpose to combat the idea
that arithmetic is due 50 much con
sideratiOn, but the discussion must be
left for another paper.
