MURDER AT PTARCE.

About ten O'Clock last Monday
morning Ben f. Smith, an Arizona
pioneer. and the proprietor of liV
cry stable in Pearce, was found aeat
in his business office. Mr. Smith Laid
upon his back: in his right hand he
grasped a revolver and his nat was
upon his head, leading the punIic to
the conclusion that the unfortunate
man had suicided. Wnen the coro-
nor's inquest was held, however. it
was ascertained that a foul murder
had been perpetrated, a bullet hole
was found in the back OF his mead and
one side of his skull had been crushed
in by the blow OF a hammer, which
implement was found near by ana
was an exact fit of the indentiOn in
the skull. There was no evidence Of
there having been a struggle IN the
room, nor were there any powder
marks about the body whi, h fac,
leads to the belief that the shot was
fired from a distance after which the
murderer finished his victim with the

MULCHING BUSH FRUITS.

Did you ever think how nature does
to produce the luscious berries that
grow on many of the wild bushes? All
who have gathered wild blackberries,
raspberries and other kinds, know how
soft, juicy and delicately favored they
often are. They also know that such
berries grow beside some old rotten
log or in thicket or corner where
the winds have swept the forest leaves
into piles about the bushes. thus mulch
ing them thoroughly. Now, this is a
hint to the berry grower as to what he
should do.

POINTS IN SWINE JUDGING.

the points to be noted in judging
swine:
Head-A short, broad head especial
ly wide between the eyes and the ears
Is usually associated with width and
compactness of body throughout and
is an indication of an aptitude to fat
ten rapidly. A snout of medium length
is desired.
Eyes-The eyes should be clear,
large, wide apart, and free from
wrinkles or folds of fat, which often
causes blindness.
Ears-A small, fine ear indicates re-
fnement throughout This is desir-
able. The carriage of the ear will de-
pend upon the parentage of the hog,

dropping in the Poland China, and al
most wholly dropping in the Duroc

WHITENING BEES ON SUMMER
STANDS.

By far the most bees are left sitting
on their summer stands during the
winter, just as they stood in summer.
Many do not have honey enough to
carry them over until spring, but are
left to consume what little they have
and starve in mid-winter, or even
starve outright after winter is well
past and a new crop of honey almost
in sight. 1t would be better to kill
the bees in the autumn and save the
honey they have consumed. A good
colony of bees will always pay back
with good interest the food given them
in the fall sufficient to take them
through until the next honey season,
and not single colony should be left
to perish in winter when they can be
easily and cheaply fed.
Sugar-fed bees usually winter we'll
fully as well as those that have their
natural honey. Sugar feeding in au-
tumn stimulates the bees to breeding,
and in every way puts colony in first
class condition for good wintering, pro-
viding they are fed early and before
cold weather. Late feeding is not naer
so good as early feeding, that is feed
ing done during warm weather in au-
tumn.
Besides furnishing every colony with
sufficient store in the line of food, we
should also give them protection to
shield them from the fierce cold and
storms they will be subject to in win
ter. Bees wintered out of doors should
be furnished with double-walled hives.
This is a saving of stores as we'll as
preventing heavy losses of bees and
the weakening down of colonies which
largely winter kill when exposed to Sc
we're weather in thin, unprotected
hives. The saving of stores alone will
nearly pay for the extra expense Of
these winter hives.
These winter cases may be arranged
to so enclose the hive that no change
of the summer hive is necessary; simp-
ly encase it in an overcoat for the win
ter. Bees should not be neglected and
should be attended to early and before
winter proper sets in.

San Francisco, May 20.-An earth
quake shock which was felt quite gen.

morning. In this city and i'm

but in some places the shock was
quite sharp. Solano county reports
the most violent shock in ten years.

The tremble was from northwest to
southeast, and lasted for about 90 Sec
onds, starting mildly and growing
stronger until people became thor
oughly frightened. The breaking of
glass windows caused runaway on
Main street and added to the pande-
monium of the moment. The damage

Leader OF the Negroes who Assaulted
Young Woman at Monroe Falls
Sent to the Pen-Other Two Go TO
Reformatory.
Akron, May 21.-Swift justice was
meted out to the three negroes who,
assaulted Miss Bertha Moore on the
road to Monroe Falls Saturday. The
fellows criminally assaulted the
young woman. This was not known
until the hearing Monday. Had 1t
been the mob would probably have
been more furious. 1t was supposed
that they had assaulted her for the
purpose of robbery only. There was
great indignation when the facts be-
came known, but the negroes at that
time were on their way to prison and
the people could do nothing but eX-
press their wrath in words.
A special grand jury was sum-
moned and in half an hour had in
dicted Cooncy for criminal assault
and highway robbery and upshaw
and Brent for highway robbery.
Twenty years for criminal assault
and five years for robbery, in the
penitentiary, was the sentence given
Charles Cooney, the leader of the
three. Upshaw and William Brent
were sent to the reformatory at
Mansfield. As soon as possible after
sentence was pronounced they were
taken away to prevent trouble.

Senator Fair died his wealth was esti-

the great outlay in connection with
the suits, is said to have increased
to $4,000 900.

An exclusively pork diet tends in
fallibly to pessimism. Beef, If per.
severed in for months, makes man
strong, energetic and audacious. A
mutton diet continued for any length
of time tends to melancholia, while
veal eaters gradually lose energy and
gayety. The free use of eggs and
milk tend to make women healthy and
yivacious. Butter used in excess rem
ders its users phlegmatic and lazy.
Apples are excellent for brain work
