Chicago, Aug. 14.-Mystery sur

battles the Chicago police. The feel
ing grows stronger that the body Of
the young woman found last Thurs
day in the field at seyenty-Fourth and
State streets and buried as Minnie
Mitchell, was not that of the young
woman. Coroner Traeger was asked
to exhume the body, but inasmuch as
the family Of the girl did not join

it. lie said the body was 50 de-
composed that such action would be
Of little avail in settling doubts as
To identity. The corOner's physician
and other well-lsnown medical men,
however, state in positive terms that

effected such a change in a body
Working on this theory the police
have sent out tracers TO find William

BENT0N'S BANK.

The rumor that is afloat about Ben.
ton going to have a bank is true. The
First National Bank of Benton, with
a capital of $4,000, has been in
corporated under the laws of the
United States, and the stock is now
tor sale. The shares are $IIo each,
and large number have been sold.
There is no trouble to sell the stock,
as parties from all sections are anxious
10 buy, but it is the intention of the
gentlemen who are promoting the
affair to sell all the stock in Benton
and vicinity if possible, and SO far
have been very successful in their
efforts. A bank has long been need
ed in Benton and the vast territory
surrounding our thriving town; what
a convenience it will be to all, as at
present all business tnat had to be
transacted with banks had to be done
at Bloomsburg, distance of twenty
miles. Where the bank will be located
or who will be the officers of course
we cannot say, these two points will
not be decided until the stock is sole
and there is a meeting of the stock
holders. Argus.

NOMINATION PAPERS.
For Justice OF the Peace Must be Filed in
Commissioners Office.

Judge S'monton, of Harrisburg. has
decided that the certificate of noml-
nation of a candidate for justice of
the peace must be filed with county
commissioners, and not in the state
department. This settles the ques-
tion, as the opinion of the Dauphin
county court in cases coming under
the ballot act is final.
Judge Bechtel, OF Schuylkill county,
decided several years ago that nom-
nations for justice should be filed with
the secretary of the commonwealth.
Judge Savldge, of Northumberland
county, subsequently decided that a
Justices certificate must be filed with
county commissioners. These decis-
ions caused much confusion and cul-
minated in a mandamus suit brought
by James ]. Stapleton, of McAdoo,
to compel Secretary Griest to receive
his certificate as a candidate for
justice.
Judge Simonton decides that the
office of justice of the peace is not
such a state office as is contemplated
by the ballot act, which require:
nomination certificates to be filed in
the state department.

Fees of Township Supervisors.

Judge Yerkes, in Bucks county, has
given an opinion concerning the fees
of township supervisors, which ought
to have wide interest. The Judge
held that the supervisor is entitled to
no commissions other than those on
cash payments of taxes. He is not
entitled to commissions on license or
on taxes remitted 1t is estimated
that the effect of this will be to reduce
the fees of supervisors by one-half OIL
two-thrds. 1t has been discovered in
a good many places that the old sys-
of working out the road tax is not a
good one. and does not produce good
roads, but it is so convenient that ii
is still kept up nearly everywhere.

on the subject by the republican lead

tion, either through its bureaus or
through its friends in Congress, did

democratic support. This question
is embarrassing to the republicans,
who, whatever their action, hope to
place on democratic shoulders all

This reduction of salaries will greatly
facilitate the passage of the bill in

Notes From the Pennsylvania Expert
ment Station.
SUGAR BEET CULTURE IN PENNsYL-
VANIA.


Experiments in beet culture made
in the '7o's in this State gave un-
promising results. Most of these
experiments, however, were made in
the southeastern counties. In 1907
and 1898 the Experiment Station
conducted a series of cooperative
tests; IN twenty counties in 1907; in
thirty-three counties in 1898 Neither
year was most favorable TO the cul.
ture, but the results, taking into &C
count the inexperlence of the grow
ers, which led them, in many instances
to violate the conditions essential to
the production of rich beets, were
clearly indicative of the fact that
Pennsylvania can raise sugar beets
that are fitted in point of richness,
purity and yield for sugar manu-.
facture. Especially in the northern
tier of ofcountles was this demonstrated
The Station has recently completed
an examination of beets raised in
1901 at over thirty points in Elk
county in experiments made under
the initiative of the Pttsburg, Shaw
nut and Northern r. r. Company.
The season while wet in the early
months was favorable to the later
maturing of the crop. The beets
were excellent in quality. Their
average percentage of sugar was
1876; not a sample had less than IS
per cent, and number approached
I8 per cent. The juices were excep
tlonally pure, the average purity
coefficlent beng SO 81 per cent, so
that they would yield up a very large
part of their sugar in manufacture.
Out of 2I cases in which data as to
yield were obtained. four showed but
six short tons of the cleaned availabl.
beets; five, on the other hand, exhi.
bited yields of 20 tons and upward.
The average of the FL cases was
10 So short tons OF 'decrowned' or
available beets, or I6. 9 tons of clean
topped beets.
In view of the fact that Elk county
is no better situated clmatically for
beet culture than the northern part Of
the State in general, and that It's soils
are such as cover most of the north
ern and western counties, the result;
of the experiments Of 1901, taker
with those of 1897 and 1898, may be
regarded as demonstrating the fitness
of northern Pennsylvania for this i'm
portant culture.

Reading ms n Cure.

The practice of reading aloud at reg
ular intervals is of great benefit to any
one affected with chest complaint.
In all cases of lung trouble it is impor-
tant to indulge in those exercises by
which the chest is in part filled or emp
tied of air. and reading aloud. singing
and whistlng are three of those exer-
cises.
There are many who cannot sing,
and we do not expect the fair sex to
whistle, but reading aloud can be prac-
ticed by all, Care must be taken not
to overdo it. of course, and the body
should be in such position as to allow
the chest TO have free play.
Reading aloud, If we pay attention
to what we are doing, will not only
be beneficial from the standpoint of
health. but will also have the effect OF
making us better speakers by teaching
us proper modulations Of the voice aud
by increasing our knowledge.
This Is where It has the advantage
over whistiing and singing

Every woman, too, acquires sooner

everything from party to walking
gloves, and she wonders, if she thinks
about it at all, what they are good for
But the girl who makes everything
10 duty in some way has made the cool
est, smoothest. nerve soothing pillow in
the world.
She cut her glove wrists into triangles
and squares and whatever shapes she
could to employ all of the clean parts
to the best advantage. These she
basted down upon a canvas lining and
then worked them with ''catstitch' in
yellow floss The effect was charming,
with the warm autumnal shades and

and thoughtless wear, it will outlast
