MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
POLICE OFFICIALS PUZZLED BY
A DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN THE
CITY OF CHICAGO.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Early We6nes-
day morning the dead bodies of Harriet
Elizabeth Weber and Inocenti Talami-
nj, a marbk cutter, were found by a
newspaper carrier on Lexington ave-
nue. just south of Fifty-fourth street.
Both had been shot twice, n While
there are indications that the man
shot the woman and then killed him
self. there are other features to the
case that make it somewhat mysterl-
Gus. Arthur M. Laurie, with whom
the dead uni had made her home,
will be held by the police until after
the inquest. There is no evidence con-
Meeting him with the shooting, u ne
is detained as q witness.
The body Of the woman was ldentl-
fed in a short time as that OF mrs.
Laurie but when Laurie was brought
to the police station he said that n
was not his wife and that he did not
know the dead man.
In going through the effects OF MISS
Weber an envelope was found al
dressed, evidently in the handwriting
of a man, to Inocenti Talaminl. IN
seeking Talamini to find what ne
might know of the woman or the
| shooting, the officers identified the
| dead man as Talamini himself. NO
cause is known why Talaminl should
have shot the woman, but she had told
| several of her friends the day before
| of a Jew who had been following her
and of whom she was afraid. Talaml-
nj has a Hebraic countenance. and IL
is the general theory that he shot her
because she refused to marry him.
The when found had beer
shot twice. through the LETT arm n
through the breast. Talamini was
shot twice, once through the neck and
once upward through the chin, the
bullet coming out at he top OF
his head. In the mans hand was
a revolver with four chambers dis
charged. accounting for the four shots
fired. The people living in the neigh,
borhood where the tragedy occurred
declare that more than four shots
were fired. and one bullet CRASHED
throueh the window of a house neal
by These facts have led the police
to believe that there may nave been {
third partv to the shooting.
The Weber woman is a native o,
Detroit, Mich. having come here iron
that city several years ago..

DISCUSSES CROP PROSPECTS.
Secretary Wilson Says the Yield Of
Corn ls Light. -

Washington, Sept. 24.-Secretary
Wilson Of the agricultural department
returned to Washington last night
from Ogden, Utah, where he delivered
a sptsech before the irrigation con-
gress. His journey both ways took
him through the heart of the corn belt
and he said:
1.-THE corn crop, owing to the pecu-
liarity of the season, was late and
light. Heavy floods destroyed 1t on
bottom lands to a great extent. Con-
tinuei rains throughout June n July
saturated the level lands and retarded
the growth Of corn. The frost has In
tured in streaks. Through Central
Iowa perhaps One-quarter OF the crop
has been touched by frost, but what
has not been affected by frost is ripen'
ing rapidly with this fine weather.
"There will be plenty Of corn in the
country because feeding last year was
improbable and many feeders viii
feed less this year. .
"A very heavy hay crop was secured
this a and pastures have e
and still are in excellent condition.
"As to wheat, %threshing has beer
delayed by rainy weather. If the pres
ent good weather continues it viii
progress rapidly. In considering thu
wheat crop we must take in ccoun
all of the wheat growing countries. we
are getting into telegraphic relation
ship with most of the European coun
tries so as to be able to estimate tn
worlds crop more closely than ha'
heretofore been done. Taking our farn
products as a whole, there is a
abundance in the land"

CIVIL WAR VETERANS BARRED
Not Allowed to Attend Funeral Sew
ices IL Uniform.

Milwaukee, Sept. PA special to
the Sentinel from Neenah, Wis, says:
A sensation has been caused IN 10.
cal G. A. R. circles over a ruling OF
the Rev. Albert Froehlke. which
barred G.. A. r. men in uniform from
attending the funeral services OF FER
dinand Sauer in the German Lutheran
church. Rev. Froehlke stated that the
action was merely enforcing the rules
of the church. Sauer was a prominent
G. A. r. mar and before his death
! selected members of the local post to
act as pail bearers. AS a result OF the
ruling none of the old soldiers attend
ed the funeral.
Those present at the funeral state
that when brought into the church the
| casket was draped with an American
flag and the pastor ordered this re-
moved. His action has caused much
criticism in Neenah.

Children often cry, not from pain,
but from hunger, although fed abund-

inanition; their food is not asslml-

! Ralston day, and on this day :
( all persons are requested to eat
! only the purest food, drink only s
! pure water, cultivate cheerful s
ness. exercise freely, and, if the s
: day is pleasant, to spend not (
less than one or two hours in s
! the pure air By SO doing, it is
: hoped the better health which 5
: follows may lead to a higher {
plane OF happiness and usefulness
in life.
The above call is intended for the
purpose. of inviting public attention
to the benefits and blessing which
may arise from a proper Observance
of the laws of health on one day at
least in every month. If persons,
and especially families may be in
duced to take care of the health on
this day, the experiment will be
sure to create an interest in the
matter on other days.
Ralstonism is the grandest move
ment that man is capable of estab-
lishing.-Guernsey.
Life is the happiest gift of God;
and the human body the noblest of
Natures handiwork. tbs perfect in
design, wonderful in construction.
Carelessness and ignorance are re-
sponsible for all of its diseases and
its defects.-Hale.
Ralstonism, in short, is common
sense. Natural laws, which are the
angels of the Most High, and obey
his mandates, are rolling on the
time when "the child shall die
hundred years DID," Isaiah I, 5-20)
when sickness shall fade from the
world, and with it the sins of the
soul. Then men shallstand up with
no sickness in the BODY, and no
faint of sin in the soul. My hope
for the human race is bright as the
morning star, for a glory is coming
to man such as the most inspired
tongues OF prophets and poets have
never been able to describe.-Emer-
son.
There is class of fools who say
they do not care to live to a good
! old age, because they dread disease
and senility. The grossest physical
sin of life is a carelessness about
living and a desire to die. The
fact is, old age is exactly what we
make it. Ralstonism teaches the
importance of taking care Of the
health while it yet remains. Three
questions are always pertinent
concerning this matter: Do you
wish to keep we'll? II so, are you
willing to make the slightest effort
to keep we'll? Are you willing to
make a reasonably earnest effort to
keep we'll? 1t is not hard to keep
well, but if you belong to that very
large class of people who do not
believe in bothering about their
health until sickness comes, then
eschew good advice until stricken
down, which is reasonably sure to
happen, but begin to lay up money
for the doctors bill, to buy med
icines and meet other expenses
say hundred dollars, at the lowest.
People do get sick, and sometimes,
ave often, they die suddenly. You
have no right to expect to be an
{ exception to Nature't laws; therefore
be prepared to meet the penalty, i
: vouSdo not care to keep well.

A NEW BANK.

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Bank of Faison was held at the
town of Faison on Saturday after
noon. The stock is scattered among
the farmers and merchants of Faison
and the surrounding country, hence
the people generally are interested
in its success. The capital stock of
$4,000 dollars was all subscribed.
The following will be the officers
of the Bank of Faison:
Walter Z. Borden, President, B.
Witherington, Vice-President; a.
Med. Williams, Cashier, and Col. A.
G. Davis, Attorney.
The town of Faison is in the midst
of.one of the finest farming sections
in the State-right in the midst OF
the great trucking belt. In addition
to a number of excellent merchants,
the town has a splendid weekly news
| paper, the Duplin Journal, a very
large and successful boarding school,
owned and controlled by the Presby-
terrain Church of the State, a good
hotel, while the surrounding country
is a veritable garden, producing large
| quantities of fruits and vegetables for
the Northern markets, besides cotton
corn and tobacco.
The Board of Directors of the Bank
are representatives of the entire sec
ton. The Bank of Faison will be a
success. There is no doubt about it.
The president is n of the most
competent, sagacious and safe bank
ers in the State, and his selection
alone is an earnest of public conf
dence, which is the chief essential to
the success of any bank.
