at Deanefield, five miles from Fords-
vile, and wanted to express $2S 900
to the latter point. Boatner took
a receipt for it, and then the agent
remembered that he was allowed to
ship only $4,000 at one time, and
made him take the cash back. Boat
ner kept the money until last night
when it was sent to Fordsville by
! express, where it arrived late last
night. The express agent it is said i,
informed mum ber of people that
the money bad arrived. 1t was not
put in the bank, as Mr.. Boatner
sent word that he would be there
early this morning.
This morning Schlitzbaum turn
ed up at Falls of Rough. He stat
ep that he was held up, robbed and
kidnapped during the night. He
first decided to stay at the depot all
night, but says h, finally got nerv-
Gus and started to the hotel. only
one square away. Between the two
places he was set upon and robbed
of the money by three men.
The express people and the Off
GERS believe the whole affair was
conspiracy to defrand the Ameri-
can Express Company cut of $28,.
600.
The money was placed in pack
age and sealed in the express office
in this city and addressed to J. w.
Boatner, Fordsville. Boatner was
present at the time, paying agent
Burch $14 charges. After he left
the express office, he called up the
agent at Fordsviile over the teie-
phone, stating that the money would
be out on the next Illinois Central
train, and that be would call for it
that night, and to te sure not TO
put it in any bal K, but to place it
in safe. Burcf, the agent here,
knew nothing aboutthe latter trans
action. Boatner did not call for
the money. giving ASIAN excuse that
he was druak Buatuer has the
American Express 0onpany's re-
ceipt for $2s,ooo. As soon as the
robnery Was known TO Agent Burch,
he at once called up Mr.. Hogins,
the president, at St. Louis, who nc
titled bin to have Boatner arrested.
When arrested the money was not
found in his possession. Boatner
refuses to give any history of his
family record, other than he
came from South America, and that
his father gave him the $4,000
which he had won on horse races.

y DISTRIBUTION OF SEED. ~
Delayed by the Failure to Work OF
the Filling and Sealing ~-~
54s >> MacEI merry. ~ 1s5.

Considerable delay is being occa-
stoned in the congressional seed dis
tribution by the failure of the filing
and sealing machinery to work as it
was expected to do. The invention is
a new one, and not yet in a state of
perfection, but it is thought that the
inventor, who spends his time in the
plant, will be able to have it in good
working order in the next few days. 4.
Just now the work of filing, sealing
and. franking the bags is being done
by hand as rapidly as possible, and
some orders are being gotten out for
the localities in which planting first
occurs.
1t is thought by the contractors that,
the plant, which is conveniently To-
Gated near the post Office, will be in
full working order in the next few days.
and that, even with the present delay
and the extra appropriation. the work
will be completed much more rapidly
than ever before.
Some fear is entertained by some
congressman lest Secretary Wilson's
test for termination is too high, and
that he is paying too much attention
to the scientific character of the SUD-
ply, and thus materially retarding the
distribution. The congressman frank
ly confess that it is the quantity and
speed of the distribution for which
they care more than for the quality.
and already they are making uneasy
calls at the plant where the seeds are
being handled and to the seed division
Of the agricultural department..

When two furtive, lightly-garbed
figures stole back to their respective
beds, the sky was shivering towards
the dawn. AS Amherst crept into his
bed, the next man to him moved, and
muttered in his sleep. "We beseech
Thee to hear US, Good Lord" He was
the second tenor in the choir, and had
been practicing some new music the
day before at the squeaking har-
monium.
"Amen," said Davy, fervently as he
drew the blanket over his head.
At the same moment the bugle rang
out "Reveille," clear as a bell-reson-
ant as the last trump-each note ris-
ing and falling on the still air. 1t was
echoed from cliff to cliff, from fort to
barracks, till the whole island rang
with the news that another day was
born.
And the gunners of Tigne woke to
reluctant life, and grumbled them
selves into uniform and pipe-clayed
helmets once again. But there was
gladness in two rough, honest hearts,
for shadow had rolled away with the
purple line of night-cloud into the sea.

THEY HAVE new CLEW
CHICAGO POLICE NOW HOPEFUL
OF SOLVING MYSTERY.
Hold q Man Who Was a Close
Friend to Bartholin-Edward
Counselman Charged With Being
an Accessory After Fact in Min
rass MitcaelPs Murder.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Developments
today in the Bartholin-Mitchell
murder mystery have led the police
: to believe they are nearer the solu.
ttion Of tie problem than at any
time in she past month. Edward
Couuselman, the intimate friend of
William J. Bartholin, who was held
for possible knowledge of the crimes
was ia ken before Justice Quinn to-
day and held for ten days in bonds
OF $4,000, charged with being ac-
cessory after the fact in the murd-
ers of Minnie Mitchell and Mrs.
Anne Bartholin. Counselman ad-
rnitted be had met Bartholin and
that Bartholin said he was in trouble
over Minnie Mitchell.
The most damaging testimony as
to Counselman's possible guilty
knowledge of the murders of the two
wQnaea came from a new witness,
whom the police found today, W.
81. Allen, a fellow-workman of
CoGnselman. Allen said that
Coanselman had told him repeated
Iy that he knew great deal about
the trouble BarthoIin was in. Whe.. |
Allen suggested that Counselman
tell the police what he knew, the
latter said he would do no such d
thing; that Bartholin was bis friend,
and that he was too shreWd for tie
police. Allen said that Counsel
man even expressed the opinion
that Bartholin had easily had time
to reach the seaboard. Allen said
THAI Counselman expressed the
greatest anxiety over the case as it
developed in the newspapers. For
thrae days Counselnan did not do
any work because of nervousness.
The police have the testimony Of
another witness, who is positive he
saw Coaaselman and Bartbolin to-
gether on August Z, the day the
body of Minnie Mitchell was found.
It is She purpose of the police toput
CoaRssinan through the sweating
ordeal today, and they say they ex-
pecG important results. Counsel
mans wife begged him repeatedly
to telI the police all he knew, but

EDISON ON MARCONl'S FEAT.
He Doubts the Report of Transat
Iantic Message.

The report that Alarconl had received
a wireless message from England is
discredited by Thomas A. Edison, says
a dispatch from Orange. N. j.. to the
Philadelphia Press.
81 do not believe that Marconi has
succeeded III receiving wireless mes
sage from England" said Mr.. Edison.
Gle is practical business man and, or
course, striving to accomplish his
scheme of wireless maritime teleg-
raphy. l do not believe he has sue
ceeded as yet. If it were true that he
had accomplished his object, l believe
he would announce it himself over his
own signature"
Replying to question as to whether
he thought Marconi had been deceived
! because the letter which 1t Is claimed
he received was the signal upon which
he had agreed in advance, Mr.. Edison
said: "Oh, no. If the story is true, he
wasn't deceived. The letter IS with
three dots is very simple signal, but
I've been fooled myself, so l doubt the
story. Marconi is all right and is work
ing diligently, and when he succeeds /
believe he will make the fact public
himself authoritatively."

DISAPPEARANCE AT ALBANY
d. w. Hockett, Noted Church
Worker, Departs.

D. w. Hoc..ett, real estate and
renting agent of Albany, has suddenly
and mysteriously disappeared, and a
mum of parties there desire to know
his Whereabouts. Hockett was last
seen in Albany on Saturday evening,
and since that time careful search has
failed to find any trace of him. War
rants for his arrest are OUT and he is
charged with numerous crooked trans
actions of financial character.
G. w. Fl. Carrall, whose grocery
store Hockett was In charge of during
the formers recent illness, exhibits
number of false entries on his cash
book and thinks perhaps Hockett robb-
ed him of $3.50 or $780, Several
worthless checks drawn by Hockett on
local banks have turned up, and he
has numerous unpaid bills about town.
Other shady transactions are report
ed.
The missing man came to Albany
about year ago. He has been con-
spicuous church worker, attending all
services at the Methodist church,
leading the Epworth League exercises
and being promoter of a recently or
gan lied Observation-Disclosures chris
Lian association. He worked the
church racket for all there was in it.
His Disappearance and the discovery OF
his crooked operations have created
something of sensation.

Harvesting of the Crop and Process OF Picking ana
Oil Extracting Interestingly Told

, teresting a process as The picking.
| The older olives are used for this pur-
pose, as the oil does not develop in the
berry until the ripe stage has been well
passed. In extracting the oil the olives
are first subjected to cutter. which
chops them into minute pieces, and are
next put into hydraulic presses with a
pressure of 200 tons. The oil resultant
from this treatment after being puri-
fed is termed oil Of the first grade.
Second grade oil is obtained from the
pulp remaining from the first pressure,
which is put under a heavy cylinder,
similar to a milestone. and then squeezed
by hydraulic press with pressure Of
1900 pounds to the square inch.
Oil Of the first grade is bottled, while
oil of the second grade is sold in bulk.
Oil of the first grade is used chiefly in
the culinary arts. 1t is claimed that
California olive oil is eminently supe-
rior to the foreign article, for of forty
or fifty grades of foreign olive oils it Is
stated that not one of them has been
found unadulterated, while few have
withstood the test for cottonseed oil.
Olive oil of the second grade is used
for lubricating, in the manufacture OF
soap and in an emulsion for pulmonary
diseases. FRED L. CUMMINGS.

was mailed to the royal palace, and
the poet waited anXiOusly for reply
His poem was returned few days

IN MEMORY OF MRS. GUERRY
A Friend Pays Tribute to Late
Nv Deceased Lady.

The sable wings OF Death nav
again swept across the horizon OF oul
lives and borne from US tender, gen
tie spirit.
| No death has caused more universal
sorrow in our community than that o.
Mrs. Lora Paschal Query. Barely
had she arrived at the threshold Of
her noble young womanhood when the
angels whispered to her and she slept.
Her bereaved parents gave up a
daughter who personified in her life
that affectionate solicitude which
would shield them from all sorrow,
and the patient spirit exhibited by
her in the recent death of her little
babe was worthy of martyr. With
heart almost broken with sorrow for
her angel babe, loaned by heaven for
a few brief days, yet that she might
not add sorrow to her loved ones she
bore the affection with a fortitude
beautiful to behold.
The husband has lost the gentle
hand that was leading him along the
pathway of life and the tender spirit
that was guiding him toward the
shores of the haven of safety, but the
treasured memory of her life surely
shall prove the magnet to reunite
them in the better world. Tender of
heart, she extended sympathy and
help to the sad and afflicted more gen
erously than the world ever knew, and
mauy called her blessed. Her charity
and her love were transformations, but
as unwavering as the course of time,
and the amaranthine flowers OF
friendship and affection blossomed
wherever she passed. Her constant
care for Professor Bechter in his de-
crepit old age was one of many exam
pies of her unselfsh nature
The only child of parents who idol
lied her and were ready to crafty ey-
ery wish; the loving wife of devoted
hus band; the central spirit OF host OF
riends, how sweet life must have
seemed, and how tenaciously the ten
drills of these loves must have held
her back from deaths impenetrable
shadows, but when those dread sum-
mons came and she walked down into
the waters of the valley that christian
fortitude which taught her how to
live made her fear no evil, and friends
with streaming eyes and broken
hearts watched her glorious transla-
ton to the glorv world. A constant
friend, lovable woman, sincere
follower of the meek and lowlJ Naza-
rene, an affectionate daughter and a
devoted wife, she possessed all OF those
attributes which give to earth fore
taste of Heaven. Pure of heart nc
thought ever desecrated that fair soul
that would have sullied an angels
spirit, and when the waiting gates OF
Paradise opened that she might clasp
to her DO ON the little one gone be-
fore we almost caught the reveroerat'
inc echo on earth of that mighty Hosts
welcome, "Well done" The halo
of Heavenly radiance from her star,
nv crown falls athwart the shadows OF
this old earth, Illuminating our souls
with the hope of reunion in the Great

IoSE ANGELES, Jan. 4.-Althougn
California has long been famed for
peaches and oranges, little is generally
known Of fruit industry which is Pc
culiar to and takes a leading position
In that state-the cultivation Of olives.
The olive has been garnered for more
than 1000 years and has been staple
food for races long forgotten, but it
has remained for southern California
to conduct olive raising on an Amerf-
can scale and to show the vast POSSIBLE
tiles of the industry. Oriental coun-
tries raise olives by the tree. Califor-
MIA raises them by the square mile.
The largest olive grove in the world
is situated in this state at the head OF
the San Fernando valley. The es1mat-
ed number of trees in the whole state
is 100000, with a crop, at the very
lowest estimate, of 250,000000 pounds
of olives. That this is really marvellous
is evident when it is stated that olive
raising on a wholesale scale is only
fourteen years old in southern Cali
fornia.
The value of the San Fernando crop
this season is estimated at more than
100000. To properly treat the enor-
nous yield the first harvest of this
grove, which is only seven years old,
the company owning the ranch has
built a fifteen thousand dollar factory,
a neat brick structure. well equipped
for meeting all the demands that will
be made upon it.
The olive harvest is gathered in the
months of November, December and

Novel Moose Call.

A new kind Of moose call, says the
Kennebec Journal, is in use down IN
Washington county. 1t is the whistling
buoy near the entrance of Moosabec
reach, and it is said to be the cause OF
the big bull moose which for several
weeks has been known to frequent the
shore in that section lingering in that
vicinity. With the wind blowing from
the east the blast of the buoy is heard
several miles inland, and the sound al
this distance is said by old hunters to
closely resemble the trunpetings of a
moose. 1t is alleged even that the
wandering moose has been heard to re-
spond with answering call when tht
sound of the buoy is heard.
