FOE OF GAMBLERS KILLED.
Isaac Finkelstein, Whose Crusade
Closed Gambling Houses of Dcs

Closed Rambling Houses of Dcs
Moines, Iowa, Brutality Murdered.
DesMoines, Ia, Aug. 5.-Isaac Fin
kelstein, whose crusade closed the
eight gambling houses in DesMoines
two weeks ago, was murdered tonight
near the alley on East Walnut street.
He was on his way home, less than a
block and half away, when a man
stepped out of the shadow of the al
ley and struck him a blow over the
head with a heavy stick. Finkel-
stein fell to the ground. Four men
less than a block away saw him fall
and ran to assist him. He was dead
when they arrived, his skull having
been crushed.
Beyond the bloody stick, which was
left beside the victim, the only clue
to the murderer is a report that lit
tie after the time of the murder one
unrecognized man was overhead to say
to another:
II killed the -"
At another time one man was heard
to tell another: Keep your mouth
shut"
The murder is supposed to have re-
suited from Finkelstein's action in
prosecuting the gamblers. He did not
object to public gambling. but wanted
the city to receive a revenue from 1t,
he said, and when the police did not
raid the houses he filed complaints
with the sheriff The resultant
raids proved so expensive that the
gamblers closed their places.

How Sour Soils Are Made.

The black prairie soils are inyarl-
ably rich in nitrogen and potash, be-
cause they are largely composed of the
charcoal Of decayed vegetation. The
accumulation produced has been pre-
vented from total decomposition by
the water lying heavily in the soils
and excluding the air. Tie drifting
sands and clay silt, and the earth in
which the plants were rooted supply
suf.- tient mineral matter to make them
into healthy soils, which settle grad
ually to a fairly firm mass, except in
some parts where the water lay stag
Eant too heavily the year round. The
last condition allowed only growth
of water plants like sphagnums, and
resulted in what are termed bogus
Soils" too deficient in mineral matter
to properly support farm crops. AS a
portion of each years vegetation be-
came entirely decomposed, and the
charcoal bodies, or carbon structures,
were burned out and passed off into
the air as carbon gas, humus was de-
posted through the mass, thus max
ing food for plants to be taken up by
them in absorbing the soil waters.-

Chlck.Pea or Gram.

A Smelling pea, practically unknown
in this country, is the chick-pea (Cicer
arietinum), the garbanzos of Spanish
cookery, or the gram of India. 1t is
largely cultivated in southern Europe,
in Spanish America and many parts
of the East, especially British India,
whence it is exported. 1t is stiff,
upright plant, covered with hairs and
bearing inflated pods containing a few
curiously shaped seeds; the two lobes
distinctly marked and the germinal
point very prominent. These peas are
eaten boiled, but more commonly
roasted. This roasted pea seems to
have been much in use. in Roman
times, the phrase fricti ciceris emptor,
buyer of roasted chick-peas," mean
ing in conversation a poor fellow.
