MURDERED AT OTTAWA
In the Yard of NeighbOr-BlOod
Traced to the Kitchen of the
Same

Ottawa. Jan. 11-One Of the most
shocking murders ever committed in |
this community was perpetrated here
some time last night. James Booth,
man nearly seventy years Of age,
was brutally beaten over the head
until his brains were dashed out, then
his body was thrown in well, where
it was found to-day. The crime was
committed at 407 north Clear street,
in community known as the Bottoms.
Booth lived alone in a cabin. He
formerly lived on small farm east OF
town until his wife died. He then
came to town and lived alone.
One day this week he sold some
property receiving the cash, about
5000. This he showed about among
his friends. He was last seen alive
about o'clock last night, His body
was found today in an abandoned
we'll, head down, feet protruding. on
the premises Of Mrs. Mary Mccoy,
neighbor. A bloody ak was found in
a pan of water near by and clots OF
blood at intervals all the way from
the well curb to the back door of the
Mccoy home. A pool Of blood was
found on the floor of the kitchen, in
dicating that the crime had been com
mitted in that room. With the Nc
Coy woman live her five children, a
married daughter about Is years of
age and four.other younger. No men
live at the house. Mrs. Mccoy is a
laboring woman and arose early this
morning to go to neighbors to do
some work.
The finding of the body was reported
by the younger daughter who says she
arose about o'clock. She noticed
the blood stains and the disarranged
we'll curb. She lifted the curb and
saw mans boots protruding from
the water. Officers were notified at
once and the body was raised. A
hasty examination showed that the
skull had been crushed by some heavy
bludgeon. There was nothing in
Booths pockets. His gold watch had
been taken.
Warrants were issued at once for
Mrs. Mccoy and her children. 1t was
learned that the oldest daughter had
left on an earlysImorning train, pre-
sumably for Kansas City The mother
and four children, the youngest twins,
years of age, were all taken to jail
Mrs. Mccoy says she knows nothing
about the affair.
She was found at the home of G
neighbors and not allowed to go home
She stated in Jail tonight that she
could not speak for the daughter tina
went away this morning, but that a
least she and the other children are
innocent. The Mccoy home has no
enjoyed the best reputation Of late bu
many good Ottawa women think Mrs
Mccoy is not guilty. She was reared
in this county and has borne goot
t reputation. A coroner's jury ha
: been empaneled for Monday and it i
r expected that something will develop
In the meantime an effort will be mad
to get the little Mccoy Children out o
g Jail.

COOKING VEGETABLES,
How te Avoid Mistakes Which Very Frequently Render Them Abso-
 lutely TasteIess.

great many cook-books order all fresh vegetables to be placed in an abundance of boiling water and cooked slowly for considerable time. Many vegetables are ruined by being cooked in this way Po- tatoes, asparagus, peas and cauli- flower should be boiled in a small amount of water and cooked steadily but slowly. Overlooking will make all of these vegetables tasteless. Do not salt any of them until they are half done.
 Young summer cabbage should be cooked in an abundance of boiling water. When it has cooked for 15 minutes take it up and cool it in cold water. It may then be chopped and dressed, allowing cup of cream. tablespoonful of flour mixed with two tablespoonfuls of flour, salt and pepper. Let the chopped cabbage simmer in this cream sauce for three-quarters O. an hour. An other way to cook cabbage is te blanch, as described Take out tle heart with d scoop, stuff the cab bage with sausage meat, lay it in a saucepan with q buttered paper over it. and let it cook one hour. bast- ing it often with it's own juices.
 The best way to cook beets is in cold water. Wash them well. being careful not to puncture them or break off the tips. Put in a sauce pan, cover with water, add a hand ful of salt and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Let them boil rapidly for an hour and ten minutes. If old beets, cook an hour longer. Lift one by one into cold water, peel and re turn to the water in which they were boiled, if they are to be cooled.
 Carrots should be scraped and washed, cut in slices half an inch thick and cook in salted water for 90 minutes. Serve in a cream sauce. String beans should be boiled slow ly for two hours.-N. Y. Tribune.

ou Niii Hogs on the Farm DO IL in n Way ThatIs Neither Cruel
 Nor DemornIizIng.

The season for hog killing will soon be present on every farm. and then we shall see repeated the usual cruel
 heartfehdlng scenes of mans thoughtless inhumanity. Three or four men and boys, and perhaps a yelping dog, will lay siege to the doomed animal, and with much ado will catch and throw the beast. which meantime rends the air with his squealing as though crying Justify for mercy; and when at last the knife has been driven home and the ar teries severed, all at once the quiet ness of death prevails. the hog arises. totters about awhile. ghastly blood pouring from the wound. the animal gets weaker and weaker and finally tumbles over and gives his last dy- ing kick. The mans wife and chil- dren. and perhaps some of the chil- dren of the neighborhood, have been silent but mortified witnesses of the direful scene. Now is this not de- hghtful picture to present for the inspection of women and children? |? And IS 1t not ennobling to all who witness it? If there could be a great CT exhibition of mans apparent cruel ty to animals, and one that is more likely to create feeling in the young of disregard for things that are gem tie and kindly, l do not know where to look for it. True; swine must be slaughtered; but let it be done in de- cency. When a lad l witnessed swine killing at an abattoir. and l regarded the method so wicked that l never forgot it, but really if was no worse than this. The animals were in close pen. Three men did the work One with hog hook would catch an animal under the jaw. an assistant would help him raise the head up, and the third would dc the sticking when the hog was dragged to a chute and tumbled down it. kicking and bleeding. A mereiful way to kill a hog is to strike it in the head with a suitable implement, producing stupor then instantly use the sticking knife This causes instant death. An animal suffers more from fear than it does from death itself. A neat. unobiec- tionable method is to drop the open side of a suitable long. narrow pox down over the animal and then turn box and animal upside down, when the knife can do it's work and the box be righted again that the hog can bleed properly. Humane men will be apt to pursue one of these better methods; indeed, many of them do now; but if they will not. they should be thoughtful enough to have ehil- dren absent from hog killing. that no evil be done by bad example.-Pro- gressive Farmer.
