CRAZED BY DEBT, FARMER
ABANC0NS HOME AND STOCK.
Thomas Anspaugh and Family Flee
Across the Country From
Imaginary Foe.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Macon. Mo. June l5.-Sick, discouraged
and miserable. Thomas Anspaugh aban-
doned his farm and stock last Tuesday
night. gathered up few bundles of wear
ing apparel and struck ont through the
woods a-foot with his wife and 5-year- old
twin children.
Neishbors passed and repassed the house
observing no signs of life. A Deputy Sheriff
came up from Macon and forced in the
front door Everything was in perfect or
der The dishes. knives and forks were
clean. On a table was this note:
Mr.. Matthew'S am very thankful that
YOU have been so patient with US | have

thing about the house. Then tracks We're
discovered leading into the woods.
On the farm Were team and new wagon.
$500 worth OF corn and plenty of feed for
the stock in cribs. There were groceries in
the house and 100 chickens in the poultry
yard. They appeared TO be better supplied
than the average small farmer families.
Anspaugh owed Matthews, who is IA law
yer of Macon. $3.50 on two notes. but the
interest was not due and Matthews had
never pressed him for the money. The
property he abandoned was easily worth,
including the land. $3.50. Why he went out
In the nighttime, and foot. with his
little family, when there We're a good team
and wagon on the place. Is only explained
on the neighborhood theory that Anspaugh
had worried so much over his debt that his
mind had left him.
In discussing his fancied desperate posi-
ton with friend a few days before he
left, Anspaugh seemed to dread that he
had done something wrong in signing the
notes and was In danger of the Peniten-
tiary.
1t was learned that he and his family
had reached the home of Anspaugh's pa

ARTIFICIAL PUMICE.
Natural Stone Is Unreliable Both in
Grain and Hardness.

While emery is used for sharp
ening tools, sand for polishing
stones and glass, oxide of iron for
dne glass, and chalk and felt for
metal ware, pumice is most fire.
quently used for sharpening soft
materials. Pumice stone is unr"-
liable, both in grain and hardness.
Variations have been noted even
IN the same piece. This has sng
gested the idea of replacing it with
the artificial punicer says the
Scientific American.
The factory OF Schumacher, at
Rietigheim, in the valley Of the
Enz, has been manufacturing an
artificial pumice stone out of
ground sandstone and clay for
some time, and it is interesting to
note 10 what extent this manu-
facturer has tried to adapt his
products to the various purposes
for which they are required.
There are on the whole ten kinds.
differing from each other in regard
10 hardness and grain, VIZ: There
u % u hard and soft kind with
coarse grain, particularly useful
IN the leather, wax-cloth. felt and
wood industries; 81 a hard and
soft kind with medium coarse
grain, suited to stucco workers
and sculptors and particularly
useful for polishing wood before
II is painted; (3) a soft, fine grain
ed stone for the white and dry
pelish of wood and for tin goods;
Al one of medium hardness with
fine grain, for giving the wood Il
surface for an oil polish; (5) a
hard, fine grained one for working
metals and stones. especially lith-
egraphic stones; and finally pum-
ice stones with q very fine sand.
These artificial stones are used
n pretty much the same way as
those of volcanic origin. For Civ
isg smooth surface to wood, a
dry stone is applied, but to give a
dne polish the stone is dipped in
eil. For fine work no coarse
grained and for coarse work no
fine grained stones are used.

DRESS AND DISCOMFORT.
Men Swelter and Swear, But Make
Little or No Change.


Little or No Change.
Not the least of the drawbacks
of civiiza ton is the character of
clothing that civilized convention
requires the man person to wear
during the summer months. Wo-
mankind usually dresses some
what sensibly, but even she finds
STAYS and like denominations Il
great burden in midsummer. One
never heard of sayages suffering
from heat prostration, nor do We
get reports from country boys be-
ing similarly affected.
Man, particularly if he be over
80, is disposed to be ultra-eonser-
vative in the matter of clothing.
He likes to wear one suit of cloth.
ing four or five months, and then
put on another and wear it a SINH
lar length of time, and SO on.
When the hot months come he
NAV make the concession of leay-
inv off his waistcoat, but that IS
usually as far as he goes for street
wear. He will wear Il somewhat
lighter suit of underwear in the
summer than in the winter, but
this and the Invested waistcoat
are practically the only different
iation made in the character of
clothing that is expected to serve
for the chill months of spring and
the roasting days of midsummer.
Stiff linen collars, heavy linen
cuffs, coat and not infrequently
a stiff hat, are chung to like grim
death for the most ordinary street
wear, while if the occasion be any
sort of function men are as likely
as not to wear heavy frock coats,
waistcoats and a whole raft of un-
necessary clothing.
When the "shOrt waist" fad
came in few years ago il looked
for a time as if men might give up
the foolishness of coats in mid
summer, but the few who wer"
bold enough to leave them off
were laughed at, and whether it
was the fear of ridicule or the
