One Of the most extraordinary tales

These curious establishments are

LOVE WILL FIND A WAY.

Catawissa is deeply agitated over
the elopement Of one OF its falrest
maidens, Miss Lena Kelly, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Kelly, and
travelling book agent, by the name
of Joseph Heritage.
Heritage arrived in town several
weeks ago and was quartered at
the St. Elmo Hotel. His habits
and decorum so far as the proprie-
tor of the hostelry was able to OBJ
serve were correct. He displayed
peculiar liking for the society OF
girls, and was never backward IN
taking advantage of every oppor-
tunity that presented itself to be in
their company.
He did not appear to conhne his
attention to any particular one un-
til about four weeks ago when Miss
Kelly arrived at the hotel as a
guest. At once his susceptibility
manifested itself and he fell desper-
ately in love. From that time on
he called frequently upon the young
lady. Her parents did not demur
! and he was allowed the freedom OF
her home.
Heritage's employer, Mr.. Smith,
who is also at the St. Elmo, was
aware of the intimacy between the
two, but did not know that the
Young man was serious. For the
past two weeks, however, when
Heritage was fitting at short inter
walls between Catawissa and Blooms
burg, he thought that something
beside soliciting orders was causing
perturbation in the mind of the
erstwhile southern Adonis. Thi:
belief was strengthened few days
ago when the young lady's trunk
, arrived at the hotel. The same af
, ternoon she put in an appearance
| and it leaked out that the two, hav
ing failed to secure the parents
, consent to marry, had decided t.
l elope. Their plans were frustrated
e however, when Mr.. and Mrs. Kel
!: ly came to Bloomsbury. They ell
r treated the young lady to return
:, home with them, but she refused
y Finding that all opposition wa
: useless they agreed to allow tn
i ceremony to take place. Heritag
e and Mr.. Kelly called on Fathe
# Murphy, of whose church Mis-
n Kelly is member, and expresse
] wish that he marry them. II
a was informed that special disper
sation was necessary and that

BLOOMSBURY. PA THURSDAY. JULY, "a 1902
Lamentably Weak.

1t was an unmerciful trouncing
that the Staffords of Wilkes Barre, ad-
mnistered to the rejuvenated Carpet
Mill ball team Saturday afternoon.
The result of the game ought to
convince the manager of the locals
that he can never win as long as he
continues to shift his players about
from one position to another. The
team was weaker Saturday than at
any time during the season, and this
was due wholly to the fact that players
who in previous games have demon
strated their worth, were kept out of
the game and their places filled with
misfts and incompetents.
The visitors went at Savits with a
vengeance, and slam banged his de-
livery to all corners of the lot. 1t
was an off day for him. He had
poor control and very little speed,
and then he worked entirely too fast
A pitcher, to be successful in the box,
should take plenty of time. That is,
he should size up and study the bat
ter, keep an eye on the bases, and
see that the men behind him are
ready before he delivers the ball.
There was nothing to complain o.
in the way of attendance, the crowt
was the largest OF the season. AL
three sides of the park were lined
with people, the number we believe
would reach one thousand.
Below will be found the score il

would take a weeks time to get 1t.
This appeared to be satisfactory
and the four people took the car
for Catawissa. Shortly after their
arrival there, the young man think
ing, (this is only supposition, now
ever ) that arrest would follow, in
duced the girl to accompany him
back to Bloomsbury on foot. Again
the parents fastened to Bloomsbury
but this time they were outwitted:
Heritage and the girl secreted
themselves until late in the after
noon. when Heritage got friend
to drive them to Nescopeck, where
they took the train for parts TN
known.
Miss Kelly was a music teacher
| and had many students in town.
She is an extravagantly pretty CIR
and by reason of her accomplish
ments was quite potent social fac

Fourth of July Accident Terminates
Fatally.

Stanley r. Solleder, the fourteen
wear old son of Mrs. Clara Solleder,
died from the effects of Fourth OF
July accident at his home IN Berwick
Thursday afternoon OF last week.
When the casualty occurred which
evidently caused his death, he with
some young boys, was celebrating the
Fourth of July. This wound was self
inflicted. He was loading revolver
and in his haste to get the weapon
ready to fire, accidently shot himself
in the hand. He was at once placed
in the care of physician. His con-
dition was not alarming and his re-
covery was considered to be only a
question of time. On Tuesday of last
week, or two days before his death,
symptoms of heart disease appeared
and two days later he passed away.
Funeral services were conducted al
the house Sunday morning at nine
o'clock, and the remains brought tc
Bloomsburg, arriving here about hal
past twelve, and inferred in the family
plot in Rosemont Cemetery. Th'
mother and one daughter Miss Annie
survive. The family resided in Blooms
burg until about one year ago whel
they moved to Berwick. The HUSBAND
and father Sylvester Solleder, died il
this town three years ago.

ISRAEL MAIER TURNS UP VERY
UNEXPECTEDLY.

Israel Maier, who few years ago |
made himself notorious, by claiming
to be President McKinley's adviser,
and who was later tried and convicted
in the United States Court at Viii
Transport on a charge of sending OBJ
iectionable matter through the mails,
and who by reason of an apparent
mental ALTERATION was sent to St.
Stephens hospital for the insane at
Washington, d. c. escaped from that
institution on Friday, and arrived in
Danville, to the CONSERVATION of his
friends, early Saturday morning. On
Sunday, James E. Town, an official at
the hospital, arrived in Danville after
Maier. He secured him and return
ed to Washington on the afternoon
train. In describing Maier's cleverly
planned escape, he said:
The hospital is surrounded by a
brick wall ID feet high, surmounted
with barbed wire. Along the fence
on the inside is row of benches.
Israel was frequently alone in the
yard and it was not long before he
began to exercise his ingenuity. He
saw that by placing one bench on
another he could easily gain the top
of the fence. To protect himself
from the barbed wire the use of news
papers suggested themselves.
The first opportunity came during
the breakfast hour. Israel was soon
on the summit of the fence. He had
provided himself with newspapers
which he wrapped around the barbed
wires and thus managed to force him
self through between them without
injury. He reached the ground un-
harmed and made his way to the rail
road where he jumped freight fol-
Baltimore. In that city he managed
to borrow enough money to pay for
ticket to Danvile."
While yet resident of Blooms
burg, Maier displayed nervous eccen
tricities. He at one time imagined
that he had entirely mastered th'
great financial problem, and had beer
employed by the Government to pu
his scheme into operation. Again h
decided to tour the country as
lecturer. His chosen subject wa
the open is Mlghtler than the Sword.
He purchased from large lithograph
ed establishment, thousand or NOR
three sheet posters of himself an
started out.
He arranged for his first appearance
at Philadelphia, by hiring the Academ
of Music. The lecture was thorough
advertised in all the leading cit
dailies, but when the evening of tn
lecture arrived, there was scarce
any one out to hear him. Short
after this he was taken tothe Hospita

The Southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1895-1909, 1902-11-15

The editor planted an expert
mental acre in rape during Sep
TENDER. 1t is now fine, covering
the ground some six inches deep.
Hogs have not yet been turned
on it. Rape is something like
the collard, and it seems will
succeed under about the same
conditions necessary for turnips.
1t needs very rich we'll prepar-
ed soil, and needs planting about
August and Sept, preferably the
latter part of August. Some ex-
periments have indicated that an
acre of rape, fed in connection
with corn, will produce about
1900 lbs. growth in hogs. That
is bunch Of hogs on an acre of
rape will increase 1900 lbs. more
than another bunch eating the
same amount of corn fed in a dry
lot.

Difference in Value of Meat.

From an editorial in a we'll
known stock journal 1 clip the
following. which represents the
general opinion: 1.-THE point of
difference between the wefi-bred
grade steer and the scrub, as to
value of the meat, is we'll made
in the explanation, viz: because
the. retailer can sell the cut-up
carcass for mere. 1t is not that
the meat is so much better, but
because there is so much of the
high-priced parts, such as porter
house and sirloin and even
rounds. The scrub has but
little flesh in the loin region and
his hams are like those of a cat
he is principally broad sides and
belly. His meat is good enough
what there is of it, if we'll fatten-
ed, but most of it is stew meat
the cheapest sort of beef. And
it is we'll to keep in mind that it
costs as much to make this stew
meat this scrub steer, as it does
the high-grade that sells so much
higher"
Yet bulletin Ill of the Kansas
State Agricultural College En-
pertinent Station recently issued,
contains the following results of
feeding for 2O5 days six steers of
types indicated: "The beef
grades, Shorthorn and Angus,
furnished 27.S per cent of high
priced cuts; the dairy steers, us
per cent and the scrubs 26.7 per
cent. Evidently someone is
wrong. Who is it? d.
The above was addressed to
the Breeders Gazette as a ques-
ton That great paper is so

aggerated value of blood as effect
ing the quality and quantity of
meat produced by animals that It

Seed as Compared with Meal and HuIIs
EDITOR GAzETTE-Can you
furnish me any literature on the
relative value of cotton seed for
feed as compared with hulls and
meal; also their relative value as
fertilizer as compared with COM
mercial fertilizer?
M. G. Campbell.
Kosciusko, Miss.
Seed have a fertilizing value as
compared with commercial ferti-
lizers of about $1,000 a ton.
Cotton seed meal on same basis
has a fertilizing value of about
S24.O0. You might say 800 lbs.
meal has fertilizing value equal
to ton OF seed. For feeding a
pound and half to a pound and
three quarters of seed equals l
ID. of meal where feeding limited
quantities of seed with other food.
A quantity of seed large enough
to fatten cattle cannot be fed on
account of securing.
Hulls are simply roughage and
are to be compared with hay or
straw rather than with concen.
trated food like seed or meal.
