The investigation of the case Of Sarah Weber
whose body was substituted for that of Sarafna
Cicone TO swindle an insurance company. ap-
nected with the Health Department the Bellevue
Morgue had been in collusion with the swndlers
Miss Weber's body was sent from Blackwelis ISL
and TO the Bellevue Morgue, accompanied with
death certificate, in which her was given cor
recty. Joseph Trepan the undertaken who has
been arrested as the agent of the swindlers. went
to the Morgue. and said he had been retained by
relatives to bury the body He took away the
certificate of death have it filed at the Bureau
Of Vital Statistics in the Health Department, he
said. It is the custom of the undertakers 10 file
the certificates of death and get in return burial
permits, on which they remove the bodies.
When Trepani returned to the Morgue he had
a burial permit for the body of Sarafna Cicone on
which was written: Changed from Sarah Weber
by request of husband The entry made
cordingly in the books Of the Morgue, and the
body of Miss Weber was delivered to him for

of the death of Sarahna Cicone, a still
living. and IL is believed that he forged the name
of DR.. Moore to that certificate DIR. Moore left
the hospital on BlackwellS Island some time ago
and his present address has not been ascertafned
In two suspected cases the representatives of
insurance companies recently have asked the Dis
trCt Attorney to have bodies eXhumed for
animation. One is the OF boy of nineteen
who was reported as having died, and there is
reason to believe that the body of an eeven-year-
torney has not decided to ask the Supreme Court
to have the bodies exhumed for examination

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

No other instrument is so well adapt
cd to pulyerizing small clods as the
plank drag.
\ great man once said that the most
important secret of success with crops
Is TO remember to stir the soil,
Even half dozen sheep are better
than none, as they will keep down the
weeds and prevent the farm from be-
ing seeded with such pests.
Feed up the corn fodder, millet and
other cheap forage as closely as may be
and save the timothy hay, which is a
cash article, while the others are not,
Not only must the soil contain food
elements, but they must be thoroughly
mixed and incorporated in the soil to
become available as plant food. There
fore, let the ground be heavily MANFRED
and every square inch for a foot in
depth well pulyerized.
Farmers who sowed crimson clover
last fall will have an excellent fertiliz-
ing material for blowing under. No
heterogeneous fertilizers win he required
where crimson clover has grown, but
application of phosphates and potash
will be beneficial. They cost but a
small sum, however, compared with the
substances containing nitrogen.
IL is seldom that farmer can accu-
mulate sufficient amount OF wood
ashes for a large field, but on farms
where wood is used there is limited
supply, which can be put 10 good use
on the garden or on the young clover
Ashes are excellent also on all grass

The Curse OF Farming.

The first great lesson that we must
learn to avoid waste. That has been
the curse of farming. We pay taxes on
land that we do not farm; we only half
cultivate our fields, and so waste both
land and labor; we have a large per
centage Of a crop in a field; we waste
time and capital raising inferior ami
mails; we waste money in buying what
we should raise ourselves; we waste en-
ergy in trying to do more than any one
man can do right; we waste opportuni-
ties to improve our condition by staying
away from institutes and by neglect
ing TO read papers; we waste in thou
sand and one ways we waste. and then
we are ready TO say that farming
doesn't pay."-Trov ~. " Tines.

A Surprise.

About fifty of the Primary officers ~
Lehi gave Mrs. Laura Salzner n sur
prise last night. About s o'clock they
appeared at the residence Of Mr.. Geo.
Webb, where Mrs. Salzner is staying,
loaded down with food and fruits of
different kinds. Mrs. Salzner hadn't
heard word and she was very much
surprised and deeply affected. The
gathering was TO show honor and re-
spect to Mrs. Salzner for her past labors
as Stake Primary officer.
During the evening a lovely program
was carried out consisting OF songs,
music, recitations and addresses. Mrs.
Sabina Candland made the address to
Mrs. Salzner, stating the object of the
gathering, at the close of her address
she presented set of resolutions which
are set in "a beautiful frame, from the
primary officers. They express in a
pleasing manner the good feelings and
respect in which Mrs. Salzner is held
by the officers.
At 1890 refreshments We're served
and at 1880 the gathering dispersed.
Mrs. Salzner will leave for Idaho
Falls about the first of May where the
family intends to make their future
home. Mr. Salzner being up there

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
AT the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.
