Rockford, Ill, Aug. 19.-The murder of
the Detroit boy Is identical in circum-
stances with the murder of Dick Tibbitts,
a 7-year- old newsboy, here last month.
The details correspond so closely that the
local authorities believe the murderer was
the same man, lunanc of the Jack the
Ripper type, and they are now in com :
munication with the Detroit police.
The murder remains unsolved. Charles
Edwards, the suspect arrested last night,

not guilty. "' I'D .st

How Mitchell Grows.

Mitchell, S. D., Aug. 1s.-By order OF
the superintendent the Omaha passenger
crews, two in number, and the freight
crews, have been changed from Worthing-
ton, Mimi, to Mitchell This viii increase
Mitchells population by fifteen families.
Each crew has it's long lay-over here and
can be at home over Sunday also. Owing
to very heavy business from Minnesota
into South Dakota, the freight seldom
reaches this city until 9 p. M, and as it
leaves at 5:45 a. m. there is little time for
the men to rest. This change will give
them beneficial layover. AS soon as the
trainmen can secure houses they will move
their families to Mitchell.

BURN THEIR STRAW
Big Crops in Nebraska Indicated by
the Blazing Fires Of the
Farmers.
Enormous Quantity Of Straw Con-
sumed So That All the Ground
May Be Utilized.

Special to The Journal. >,
McSook, Neb, Aug. 19-An odd problem is
confronting Nebraska farmers. Tourists
crossing the state have their attentioncalled
to fires that are ablaze on the prairies from
one end of the wheat belt to the other These
firse are burning straw stacks and not the
flames of disaster, but rather Of the pros
perity Of the state. They are ablaze every
few miles sending up a lurid glare along the
right Of way and occasioning no end OF ques-
tioning. * AZ.
This year the wheat straw is in such guam
titles that it cannot be utilized, the state
expecting to have the banner crop OF its
history The ground that it occupies is far
more valuable than the straw, for few farm
ers SOW anything but fall or winter wheat.
Many are ploying and they want all the
ground they can get. The only way to dis
pose of the straw Is to burn it. 1t is reduced
to ashes and these are streWn over the
ground.
Some of the farmers have, two horses
hitched to a rope, one at each end. The rope
partly encircles big bunch of straw, just
as it comes from the thresher, and 1t is
hauled out in the fields and consumed.
The farmers would like to hear of some
upe to which the material could be put. Nine
tenths of them say there Is no practical way
of utilizing it for feed or for bedding, and
it is destroyed for the room it occupies.

The rate of pulsation depends entire
ly on the movements of the heart, each
beat representing n contraction of the
left ventricle. The normal pulse Of the
adult male varies from sixty TO eighty
beats In the minute. The range Of the
individual variation Is, however. very
great. The range In females il even
greater. some having a pulse rate of
over eighty. others less than sixty, the
majority showing higher rate than
males
In children the rate Is more frequent:
At birth, 12S to IA; first year, 100 to

age the pulse Is usually above seventy

TIE TARTAR CUE.
Said 10 he Worn Out of Gratitude
20 the Horse.

TO the Horse.
Herbert Allen Giles In "China and
The Chinese" says that there are
strange misconceptions as to the mean
Ing of the Chinese cue, which has
really been worn by that nation for
only about 900 years.
1t was imposed by the Mantchoo Tar
tars, the present rulers of China, us a
badge of conquest. Previous to 1914
the Chinese clothed themselves and
dressed their hair like the modern jap
anese-that is. like the Japanese who
still wear what is incorrectly known
as the beautiful native dress of Ja-
PAN" As n matter of fact, the Japan
csc borrowed their dress as well as
their literature, philosophy and early
art from the Chinese. The japanese
dress is that of the Ming period in
China, 1868 to 1914.
But where did the Mantchoo Tar
tars get the cue? They depended as a
race almost for their existence upon
the horse. The accepted theory is that
out of gratitude and respect for his
noble ally the Tartar, So far as he
could, took on himself the equine form
and grew cue in imitation of n
horses tall. This somewhat grotesque
theory might fall to the ground save
that 1t is supported by striking evi-
dence.
Official coats as seen in China at the
present day are made with peculiar
sleeves. shaped like horses leg and
ending In an unmistakable hoof, COW
ering the hand. which are known as
horseshoe sleeves" Incased therein
a Chinaman's arms look much like
horses fore legs. The tail completes
the picture.
