Select grapes that are just turning
not quite green but not fully ripe. Pick
them carefully from the stem If you
prefer them stemless, though the stems
are frequently left on. Put them into a
stone jar, handling as little as possible.
For every three pounds of fruit use one
pint of vinegar and one and one-quarter
pounds of sugar. Scald the vinegar and
sugar together and pour the mixture
over the grapes while it is hot. Cover
tightly. Repeat the heating for three
successive mornings, then put the whole
mixture into glass jars and seal.-New

Tama's Bio Corn Crop.

Traer. Oct. 24.-Without doubt
Tama county is harvesting the best
crop of corn it ever raised. 1t is quite
common to hear farmers assert that
they have corn that it will go eighty
bushels per acre, while here and there
one declares that he has a field that
will yield 100. The damage by frost
was light in fact only in spots did it
injure the crop at all. The price at
present, paid by feeders, Is about 40
cents. There are renters here who will
get from $25 to $50 per acre for their
corn. In such cases even 81 per acre
rent does not cut much figure You
may put old Tama down for the biggest
crop of corn and the biggest republic
can majority she has ever enjoyed for
many years at least.

Ottumwa, Oct. 24.-With blood
squirting from CHASTITY wound in her
throat Mary Chesser, the most motor
ious resident Of Smoky Row, Ottum-
was sin spot, staggered back from her
doorway at midnight Saturday night
and with faint cry. my God, I'm
out to catch her tottertng form. Called
to the doorway by some mysterious
stranger, she left the crowd Of visitors
at her famous resort and stepped to
her porch. Not sound of a scufi1e or
loud words came to tho ears of the
rioters. A murmur, a sharp cry and
the appearance Of the dying woman's
face in the doorway told the story to
those within the room.
The scene was one of turmoil and
the men within rushed out and Crap
pied with the murderer. They piled on
him like pack of wolves until MS
loud voice called them off.
Stand back" he said, 1.-THE first one
of you that touches me will be shot"
The men fell away and the stranger
guarding himself with q gun backed Off
the street upon which the row faces.
Since then every effort has been made
to discoverer the murderer. Every
| dive In the city has been secured.
Every outgoing train and the railroad
yards have been searched by the police
department and by the friends OF the
notorious woman. His identity still re-
mains q mystery and not the slightest
| clue exists to give the police a basis for
their operations.
AS the woman fell back into the room
where the inmates Of her home and
their visitors were making merry they
were thunderstruck. The men, rushing
out. had a set-to with the murderer
while the girls tried to resuscitate the
diving woman. Their efforts were tu-
tile. the woman dying almost before
they could lay her on her cot.
The gaping wound In her throat told
the story. Her neck was laid open
from the center to the right ear, and
the cut was fully four inches deep.
The large arteries in the neck were
severed, and death was but the mat
ter Of a few minutes.
The woman while notorious. and

maiden name was Mary Gravener, and
she has one sister living in ottu1nwa.
She was about 35 years OLD, ana mas
lived in this city for several years.
Since the murder was committed the
notice have been inquiring into the
facts at the time the affair took place.
The report was that the woman and
some stranger had an alteration some
time earlier in the evening, ana theil
some harsh words were used. IL Is
thought that he might have returned
and while Intoxicated, murdered the
woman in revenge. The man, II such
