state have placed large interests in the
keeping Of the body OF which we are a
part They bid us do with these as we
will without restrictions except such
as are imposed by the constitution.
Surely it is a great responsibility that
comes to us with this great trust. Let
as try 10 meet it, my fellow members
by entering at once upon the work Of
formulating and introducing our meas

sideration at a time in the session when
they may be carefully and intelligently
acted upon. Ia all that we do let us
bear in mind that The interests of our
state are higher than the interests Of
individual or party, and that only by
diligent, painstaking and conscientious
effort, looking to the Higher Power for
guidance in all our labors, can We hope
to merit the approval OF the people
whom we serve.

Hunger Driven, He Gave
Himself Up
AFTER 4 DAYS IN WOODS
Since Night Of Crime Had Lived on Ber-
ries--Admitted That He Killed
His Wife But Claims in
Self Defense.

Wanen, n r., Oct AFTER wander
ing about the fields and woods not far
from the scene Of the terrible death Of
his wife, Henry Wilkins, charged with
the woman's death, gave himself mp to
the authorities at Wentworth village
tonight.
On Thursday last Mrs. Wilkins was
found dead in bed, her head having
been crushed with an Ak. Henry VIII

two interesting little children, disap
peared.
This evening. wilkins wenb to the
house OF cousin, Mr. Dow, and gave
himself up, saying that he was tired Of
wandering around and that he might as
wen face the music now as at any time.
Wilkins appeared very worn and hag
gard, and said that he had had nothing
to eat save berries and what he could
find in the fields. His beard had partly
grown aud his clothing was neglected
Wilkins talked tile matter over with
his cousin, and Mr.. Dow said that the
wisest thing he (Wilkins) could do
would be to surrender to the anthori
ties.
Wilkins, without much argument,
.acquiesced and Mr.. Dow hitched up his
horse and took the suspected man to
Wentworth village and placed him in
the care of Sheriff Arthur Davis.
Regarding the murder, Wilkins said
he had been within a few miles Of his
house all OF the time since the murder
He admitted killing his wife, but would
give no specific reason for the terrible
crime RE repeated several times that
the murder was iustifable.

STRANGE ACTING MAN
THOUGHT TO BE WILKINS
His Peculiar Actions Led Local Police
and Business Men to Think
They Were on Trail
Of Wilkins.


Considerable of a commotion was
caused In local police circles last night
by the report that wilkins, the wife
murderer Of Wentworth, n H., was seen
in the city Yesterday. A queer looking
character answering very much to the
description OF Wilkins which had been
sent out by the New Hampshire police
was in the Armenian store on Depot
square about two hours yesterday fore
noon and again few minutes before six
last evening. He purchased q suit of
clothes, two pairs of shoes and some
other articles of clothing. He acted in
such queer manner and bothered Tony
Corey, who waited on him, so much in
making his purchase, that after he had
gone Corey became suspicious and noti-
ltid Chief Of Police Brown of it, but no
trace of the man could be found last
night. This morning it was learned that
the man went TO Peter Goneo's on West
street and got lodgings for the night but
he left Goneo's some time during the
night and went to the Northern hotel.
| lie hired room at the hotel and paid
for it and that was the last that the
hotel people saw of him or anybody else.
The police have been looking for him all
the forenoon but no trace OF him has
been found.
The man left pair Of badly WORKOUT
shoes, a pair of brown oyeralls and a
pair Of trousers at Corey's store The
trousers showed traces Of what looked
| like blood on them and that was what
led the police to think quite strongly
that the man might be Wilkins

DESERTED THEIR HORSE
When it Fell Into Sewer Ditch on
Main Street

Main Street
Two men were driving i horse along
NO. Main street last evening at about
l0:45 when an electric car came along
and caused the horse to slie, In doing
50 the horse fell into ten-foot sewer
ditch nearly in front Of the Scampini
block The two men jumped from the
wagon and ran, it is claimed, leaving
the poor animal to look out for itself
Dir. A. H. Lewis was summoned and
with the aid OF jack Manning and 9TH
ers succeeded III extricating the animal
and taking it TO Dr. Lewis stable.
Who the parties were that desert
ed the horse Is not known, and
DR.. Lewis, on inquiry Of him this morn
ing, said he did not know who the own
er Of the horse was. He said he pnt
the horse in his stable, and while away
this forenoon it was taken away.
There seems to be good deal of mys,
terry about the affair, and when anyone
who could possibly know anything
about the case was approached this
forenoon they could only say that it
was two prominent citizens, but who
they did not know, and then they
would smile.
But that the horse did not suffer any
damage is no credit to its drivers who
deserted il IN trouble.

Prison for Children.

One of the most remarkable school
rooms in the world is surely that of
LA Petite Roquette, the Paris prison
for juvenile offenders. The system of
this prison is that of solitary confine-
ment, the whole building being so con-
structed that each of the detached cells
is overlooked by warder stationed on
a small observation tower The school
room consists of 200 cells in the form
of an amphitheater, from each of
which the teacher, and the teacher
only, can be seen. Each of the youth
full offenders takes his place in silence,
the first in the fathermost cell and the
others in rotation. The closing of one
of these cell doors opens that of the
next cell. The voice of the teacher is
the only sound to be heard in the
building. Religious cervices are con.
Quoted in the same way, each of the
inmates being able to see the oficiat-
ing priest, and him slone.-Boston

WE MUST ASSIST NATURE.
s'What to Do After Planting Dis
cussed by Prof. II. E. Van
Deman, Promologist.

1t is far too common to see fruit trees
and many other valuable costly things
planted and then left to their fate, or
nearly so. Some people seem to have the
idea that their duty is done when they
set things in the ground; that Mother
Nature will do the rest. Nature does do
great deal for us, and, probably, far
more than we often deserve, but we must
not presume too much upon her efforts.
We have only begun our duty. Like the
mother who has the infant in her arms
it is to be made by her, very largely,
whatever it will be in future life. 1t
must be fed and trained. So must the
tree or plant
In the first place, supposing the soil is
fairly rich and the planting has been
done properly, which is very often not
the case, there should be nothing like al
lowing the soil to become hard. This it
will do in short time if no glven prompt
attention. The spring rams are usually
abundant, and this. fact alone will cause
the soil to pack, and when dry spell
comes, it will bake on top, if it is not
prevented. The best thing is good til
lage. BY this I mean the tillage of the
entire surface between the trees or
plants. Many act on the theory that
little space about them is all that is nee
necessary to keep loose, which is a serious
mistake. Capilarity works laterally as
well as vertically. A hard space, where
the moisture is escaping into the air very
freely, will draw upon the soil next to it,
if it be moist. That is just what occurs
in cases where little patches are kept
hard about trees in a grain field or a
grassy yard. 1t will be so anywhere that
all the land is not under thorough til
lage.
If alarm or garden crop must be grown
between the trees, as is often wise and
proper to do, let it be one that shall be
we'll titled for several months, beginning
in the springtime. In any case stir the
surface frequently, but not very deep.
This is the true principle of tillage, for it
is to conserve the soil moisture. Plow
under weeds if necessary, but aim to new
er let them get large enough to need it.
Watch the young sprouts that will
finally be branches, and rub or cut away
those not needed. This is much better
than to allow them to get large and then
have to cut them off, to the injury of the
tree in some degree. A sin never COM
mitted does not have to be repented Of,
and so with that tree: one not allowed to
grow right into bad shape does not have
to be righted
Keep the insects and fungus diseases
off by spraying while things are young,
If there is any need of it, and there often
is more than we are apt to think In
short, live with what you have planted,
as mother does with her child, and
know what it is doing and needing

NEW SPLINT IN SURGERY.
Invention Enables Person with
Broken Leg to Go About Business
a Few Days After Accident.

A series of interesting experiments
have recently been made at the London
hospital with new splints which enable
a person with a broken leg or thigh to
go about his business within few days
of his accident The invention halls
from the continent, where it has been in
use for some years. The principle of the
splint is that round the seat of the frac-
ture is fastened a hardened leather case,
which fits the leg closely everywhere
and prevents any movement of the frac-
tured bone The weight of the body is
then carried by jointed steel rods at
tached to another case fastened above
or below the knee, according to the place
of the fracture. With this appliance
the patient is enabled to walk before the
broken bone is Joined, and there is none
of that after trouble with stiff joints
which comes when limb has been held
rigidly for weeks

THE RIGHT TIME TO STOP.
Notes on Orchard Cultivation Which
Seem to Be Worthy of Care
full Consideration.

Cultivation of the orchard should
generally be stopped by the end of
July. This is especially the case with
old orchards that are being cultivated
for the first time. In the case of an
orchard that has been cultivated right
along there can be little or no harm
in cultiyating at any time of year. 1t
will then stop growing iii midsummer,
and will spend the rest of it's time and
energy in hardening up its wood. But
the orchard that has not been much
cultivated or even that has not
been cultivated in the spring Of this
year will be injured by giving it extra
mer and fall If, however, the trees are
carrying heavy crop Of fruit, cultiva-
ton may be continued later than if the
trees are bare or have little fruit on them.
The extra amount of plant food set loose
will then go into the fruit that is being
produced, and the late development of
buds and OF wood will not occur In
fact, in dry climates and dry seasons the
late cultivation may prevent the fruit
laden trees from becoming weakened
from lack of moisture. Then as there
is a great deal of loss of moisture from
the uncultivated ground and the fruit on
the trees is requiring a great deal for
It's development, there is sometimes in
jury to the tree from the supply of mois-
ture being lessened or cut off.-Farmers'
