ATTEMPTED TO
KILL HERSELF
PENN A. Il. II.

Miss Lou Bower, aged thirty years
attempted to commit suicide between
eleven and twelve o'clock, Saturday
night, at the home Of her father, George
Bower, corner Race and Front streets,
SunbuIy. The weapon used was 22-
calibre revolver. The bullet entered
back OF the right eye and lodged at
point back of the nose. The victim
was removed to the Mary NJ. Packer
Hospital and is in precarious condi-
tion.
The motive for the deed is unknown
but 1t is believed that lovers quar-
rel led to the shooting. The young
lady was divorced from o. II. Bair of
Eewberry, about year ago. Since
that time she has kept company with
a young man from Sunbury. They
were down town on Saturday evening
and returned home at about half past
ten. Her parents had already retired.
Between eleven and twelve O'Clock the
young man aroused Mr.. aud Mrs. Bow
er and told them that their daughter
had shot herself. Both being hard of
nearing. they had not heard the report
Of the pistol.
Upon coming down stairs, Mr.. and
Mrs Bower found the woman lying
in AN unconscious condition on the
kitchen floor, with the smoking pistol
tightly clutched in her right hand.
DR.. W. T. Graham was summoned
and upon arrival found that the bull
let had barely missed the temple and
passed back of the right eye The
flesh was burned around the wound
showing that the weapon was close to
the head when the shot was fired. The
ambulance was called and the woman
was removed to the Mary NJ. Packer
hospital and placed in the care of DIR.
B. II. Renn. the surgeon on duty at
present The bullet was not located
and the condition of the patient is
considered serious. If she does recover
it is quite likely that the eye will
have to be removed.
The woman has made no statement
and the young man who was with her
at the time the shooting took place
denies that they had quarrel OF any
kind and states that he knows of nc
realOn for the attemnted Suicida
The revolver belonged to the woman,
and the small calibre is all that
thwarted her plans to end her life i'm
mediately. Some time ago she threat.
ened to kill herself and exhibited a
S8--calibre revolver which was taken
from her. A number of years ago she
tried to end her life bv the drinking
Of laudanum.

Urpes Extra Care of Bakeries

In letter which State Factory In
spector John @. Delaney issued to all
deputy inspectors on Saturday he cites
the especial exposure to veImin to
which bakeries are subjected during
the Summer and orders his men to
give the shops first place in their daily
work for two months to come allow
ing other less pressing matters to wait.
The letter says that while there are
certain notable exceptions to the rule,
which is to disregard the law, Cap
tain Delaney believes that the major
ity of bakers do not comply.
Part of the letter is:
"It is for this depaI tment to see
that the staff of life does not become
club of death by requiring that
breadstutfs shall be- manufactured un-
der conditions which are first class in
respect to cleanliness and sanitation
You will, therefore, for two months
to come, give bakeries the first place
in your daily care, letting othor less
pressing interests wait

making that your model, do your very
best to have every bakery in your re
spective districts come up to the re-

A PROSPEROUS
YEAR FOR FARMERS

"All things considered this year
promises to be a favorable and pros
porous one to the farmer said
Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Mar
tin at Harrisburg on Friday. To Mr..
Martin is assigned the duty of look
ing after crop matters throughout the
State, keeping track of the conditions,
watching for changes, noting the
weather effect on the crops, and other
important matters that have come to
such high conditions under Secretary
Critic hfield
Owing to unfavorable conditions
for seeding wheat last fall" Continu-
ed Secretary Martin, aud the extreme
severe winter which followed, the
wheat crop will possibly not average
more than 80 per cent. of full crop.
Harvesting has begun in the Southern
counties, but in Central and Western
Pennsylvania the fields are quite
green. Complaint has reached the de-
partment of much injury being done
by the Hessian fly in Fayette and ad
joining counties.
"Oats are in fine condition, and
with favorable weather the oats crop
Will be very promising, and predict
the yield will be above the average.
Grass and pasture is everywhere
abundant and the hay crop is, in my
Judgment, the largest ever grown in
| the State.
Corn is not as good as it might be,
Owing to the extreme cold weather in
April and May corn planting was de-
| layed more than three weeks. Then
the hard freezing of last winter de-
stroyed the vitality of much of the
seed corn, which compelled replantinf
! of possibly fifty per cent. of the acre
age This condition, coupled with the
almost continuous rains for the past
two months, have prevented the farm
ers from cultivating the corn crop
w WHlCll 10 III llOSb lOtdAitlCo bhSh " "a "
and unpromising
Z" rhe acreage of potatoes Is possibly
less than last year, but gives promise
of good yield, the vines being almost
free from the ravages of potato beetle.
| Nearly all vegetables have made gooC
growth and promise full crops.
Considering the storm condition:
the apple crop promises great abund-
ance in almost every section of the
State, but in most sections the peach
crop will be light. which is in part at
tributable to the San Jose scale. Pears
plums and cherries in most section:
are abundant, and the prices are very
reasonable The berry crops are re
ported up to the average.
1.-The department has been notified
that in Allegheny and part of West
moreland counties heavy storms anC
cloud bursts have destroyed the crop:
on numerous farms. and that certain
| blight has seriously affected the whea
crop in portions of York, Adams, anC
other adjoining counties, but this
| blight was only sectional in its raw
ages.
"Yes, think, all things considered
this year promises to be favorable
and prosperous one to the farmer. y
The department is informed that cat
tie breeders throughout the State have
had a prosperous year, and that almos
all of their stock has been disposed OF
at favorable prices.

General Farm Notes.


Long and hard pulling makes wind
broken horses.
If sow breeds well and is a good
mother, keep her until she is old.
Early and thorough training makes
gentle, safe and tractable horses.
Clean of the ground occupied by
peas, early corn or potatoes and SOW
turnips.
Always breed from thoroughbred
boar Of good constitution and yigor.
His vigor should be in excess of that
of the sow.
With poultry, as with nearly all
other products from the farm, a safe
rule is to market the surplus when
ever fair profit can be realized when
making the sale.
Among thoroughbred poultry there
is little difference so far as their econ
omical points are concerned. but ON
a farm solid. strong and coarse breed
is best.
Those who make the most in keep
ing poultry are those who have small
farms and utilize every rod of them
for the production of food ar pasture
for their stock.

Handling Fowls in Yards.

Where 1t is necessary to keep the
fowls confined to houses and yards dur
ing the summer and not much chance
to divide the yards, the best way to
handle them is to have the yards of
four-foot netting. the top covered over
as well, and every few weeks move
these yards to a new location. where
fowls have not been the present year
This Is considerable trouble, but 1t
must be done If chicks and fowls are
kept on small area. If 1t is not pos
sible to let the fowls have range,
then green food must be provided in
some way. A good plan Is to give
them some cut grass or weeds at night
just before they go to roost.
A better plan Is to rake up the. cut
tings following the lawn mower, for
they can consume these short blades
better than grass cut with a scythe.
All fowls In confinement ought to be
allowed to run for an hour or two each
night. even though it Is necessary for
several people to keep them out Of mis-
chief. This run win do them world
OF good, and the egg results will pay
for the trouble OF watching them.
Don't forget the necessity for an
abundance OF fresh water several
times daily. &N8s&& fs%
