NO BREAKFAST THEIR CREED.
Colony OF Westerners Who starve Them.
selves and Don't Love Their Wives.

ROGERS, Ark, Sept. Edgar Wallace
Conable, founder Of q strange health colony
in Colorado several years ago. has aban-
doned the high altitude Of the Rockies
and has bought 5000 acres Of land in north
ern Arkansas and colonized it with several
hundred followers, all Of whom believe in
his manner Of living
The colonists eat no breakfast The
men do not love their wives, nor do the
wives love their husbands. Living in
family groups is mere matter Of form,
ii is commended, although there have been
family squabbles caused by Jealous hus-
bands and wives in this colony.
The settlement lies along the Frisco
sys TEN. and is to be made into one vast
orcn ard ana vineyard. No form Of animal
life must be killed on the premises, but it
is the ndeavor of the colonists to drive
away all kinds of inse cts and pests.
The land, which was bought only few
weeks ago. is now being planted in fruit
trees. nd settlers are building their homes
on the wide stretch OF the mountain coun-
try. BY next summer they expect to have
everything in first class working order.
According to tnelr creed, people should
live IN the nlRneSt 1OTH1 Oh pnyslCdl anu
men tai life. This embraces extended
periods Of fasting, for publication of the
body and the elimination of disease. It
contemplates the non use of meat, alco-
hoic stimulants and tobacco.
Conable says that az soon az his crops
begin to grow he will allow no one on the
premises, except as temporary guest,
who lives on anything but his sort Of food.
No morning meal will be tolerated by the
Conable colony, and no cook stoves will
he found in the kitchens. The house
work of the women will be limited, mas
much as the only preparation of the food
will be TO wash away the dirt.
Fasting is regarded as means Of strength
ening the body among these people. Miss
Reda Benjamin. n young woman, has just
completed fast Of twenty-five days with
ont any bad effect TO her body, She has
muscles as hard as an athlete and is per-
feet specimen Of physical womanhood,
No physicians are allowed in the colony.
Whenever person is i'll he is placed under
the care of one Of the health teachers,
who, by system Of cereal and fruit products,
and by fasting or starving the disease. as
they saw attempts to cure the patient.
Conable allows no horses on the farm.
and all the work is done by human hands
or steam power.

Relics of Other DAYS.

While workmen were engaged in de-
molishing a brick house on the north
side of King street, near Washington,
Yesterday evening, they found under the
foundation wall a Ratchet, rusty from
age, together with an iron wedge. This
house now belongs TO Mr.. E. ). Flem-
ing. 1t was erected in 1898, one hun
dred and ten years ago, and had all
those years been well-known landmark.
During the first half of the nineteenth
century it was occupied by the late
Gotleib Appich and later by Mr.. James
w. Simpson, who for many years con-
Quoted a tonsorial saloon in it. Mr..
Fleming Is demolishing the house and
will erect modern structure on the
site. He was yesterday engaged in
exhibiting the Ratchet and wedge to
different people, and suggested that it
might be the same instrument young
Washington welded when he defaced
the cherry tree. In colonial days Il
stream of water ran from the northeast to
the southwest near the present intersec-
ton Of King and Washington streets
The stream was crosred by a bridge located
near II. f. Robertson's store. Young
Washington, it is suggested by MI
Fleming. may have cast the Ratchet in
to the run, and it became imbedded in
the mud. Later the stream dried up,
and the foundation of the house was
built upon it.

The Militia.

The recent service of the military in
Richmond and the demand for their ser
vice elsewhere lave given rise to unusual
interest and enthusiasm along military
lines. This is manifesting itself in APP
plications to the Acknowledgements office
for authority to organize companies Of
infantry in various parts Of the State.
Among the many applications received are
two from Petersburg and one each from
Front Royal, Chase City, Newcastle,
Gainesville, Alexandria and Stony
Creek. Alexandria now has company,
G, of the Seventeen, recently on duty
here, but the application from that city
is for authority to form another Rich
mond Times Dispatch.
There must be some mistake about
the application from Alexandria,

Some excitement was caused at the
intersection of King and Royal streets
late Yesterday evening by an assault up

ed serious bruises on the face lie was
later picked up by Officer Roberts, who
conducted him to the station house
where he received attention. Officer

ant and the soldier was detained as a
witness. This morning the man who
made the assault failedSto appear and

unprovoked.
