Discovered Baked SnufI.

A Limerick tobaCconist Of the NAM
Of Lundyfoot. doing comparatively
small trade, was unfortunate enough
to have his establishment destroyed
by fire. On visiting the ruins next day
he saw some of his poor neighbors
among the debris gathering the half
baked snuff from the caniSters which
had not been entirely destroyed by the
fire. He tasted what he considered the
worthless article and to his surprise
found that the heat from the fire had
added punSency and aroma to the snuff.
Profiting by the discovery, the shrewd
Irishman at once set about baking his
snuff in ovens, and the fame Of the
Backyard snuff" was established and
an immense fortune soon made b!
Lundyfoot. founded upon mere acct
dent and growing out Of misfortune.

His study Of the Heart.

In his memoirs Adolf Kussmaui re-
lates q curious story Of Heidelberg
banker. This banker was known for
his naughty, forbidding manners; con-
sequently DR.. Nuhn, the professor Of
anatomy, was much surprised one day
when the banker came and sat with
him in railway car and, after . pleas.
ant chat, asked him all sorts Of ques.
tons, especially about the anatomy Of
the heart. The next day he even called
by permission in the medical depart
ment and watched the professor dis
secting one of those organs. Then he
drove home, and few hours later 1t
became known that he had committed
suicide by skillfully plunging dagger
into his heart.

MORTUARY.
Gala Dean Paxton.

Was born near Garden Grove, August
10th, 1881, came with her parents to
this place in 1898, since which time she
has resided here. She was married to
Walter E. Miller June 8, 1904, and died
July 2Sth, the same year, aged . years,
II months and IS days, after only seven
weeks Of married life, only three of
which were spent in her new home. She
leaves loving grief stricken family,
consisting of the young husband, the
aged grandparents, the father and
mother, and brother and. sisters, to
whom the sympathy of the entire com
munity go out, especially will she be
missed by her young associates who
were deeply attached to her by her
bright and lovable ways, her pleasant
smile and happy disposition.
The funeral services were conducted
on Sunday afternoon at the Presbyter-
ian church by the pastor, Rev. ]. Q.
Hall. 1t was one of the most largely
attended funerals ever held here and
the service was especially impressive
Mrs. Miller's death has saddened many
hearts but especially is the young
husbands home which is most desolate
of all, where she came as a bride but
seven short weeks ago, with bright
happy future before her. The deepest
sympathy Of the entire community is
extended to the bereaved Ones Garden
Grove Express.

MAY BE A HANGING.
Man Sentenced by Judge Roberts
Has Not Appealed.

There'!l be legal hanging in Iowa in
five months, unless something happens
pretty soon to prevent.
j. G. Smith OF Monroe county is under
sentence of death on that date, by judy
ment of Judge Roberts, and he has not
filed an appeal to the supreme court.
The court CONVEX es again September 20,
which leaves him only three months to
make his appeal.
Smiths case is unique. He pleaded
guilty to the murder of Mrs. Kennedy,
with whom he boarded. 1t is possible
that he did not imagine he would be
sentenced to death for it, The court
took testimony to show the degree of
the crime, as provided by the law.
This developed that the only cause for
the commission of the crime was the
fact that Mrs. Kennedy demurred to
getting up early one morning to get
breakfast for Smith. He hung about
the place till she appeared at her door,
sometime during the forenoon, and then
shot her. He plead guilty to it, as stat
ed and the court sentenced him to
death.
The fact that he has not perfected an
appeal during the seven months follow
ing his sentence is regarded at the state
mousse as evidence UnaU ne dldn care
much whether he was hanged or not.
1t has been suggested that as long as
| he pleaded guilty he is not in position
to appeal to the supreme court; but
Cunningham of Shelby county did the
same thing, pleading that he understood
that he would be given life sentence
instead of death, if he should plead
i guilty, and he appealed.
1t is stated that Smith might make a
direct plea to the governor for commu-
tation of sentence, and it is possible
that he will do so.

Old Landmark Gone.

Chariton's Oldest hotel, the Charlton
House, burned early Sunday morning.
The hotel was situated on the corner,
one block south of the southwest corner
of the square, having stood there for 43
years. The fire is supposed to have
started from a poorly insulated light
wire. The building belonged to Mrs.
Henderson and was valued at about
$500, with $500 insurance in the Iowa
State Insurance Co. Extensive i'm
provements had just been begun on the
building. ]. B. Slater, the manager of
the hotel, lost about $500 worth Of furn-
iture, besides a large amount of wearing
apparel. He will recover about $500 in
insurance. Mrs. Slater, who was forced
to escape through window, was badly
cut and bruised. There were about
eighteen guests in the building and all
were compelled to escape through the
windows, many losing their entire ward
robe in the flames. Mr.. Slater expects
to find another location and continue
running hotel here. The fire company
did excellent work in extinguishing the
flames, but the building is b complete
wreck. Charlton Herald.

Judge Marshall Renders DeCi-

AN INJUNCTION IS REFUSED
COURT SAYS PLANT WAX COM
TINUE TO OPERATE.

Judge Marshall Of the federal court
yesterday rendered q decision IN the
case of David 1IcCIeary ct al Us. the
Highland Boy Gold Mining company.
in which the plaintiff asks damages
for injuries done his farm by fumes
from the defendants smeIters. The
object of the suit was to euioin the
continuation of the smelling opera
tons. The judge states that iuasmuch
as the defendant has such a large sum
of money invested and employs so
many men il would not De right go
shut down the plants. The plainun
can resort to continued actions at law
I'd gain redress, or. If this fails, in a
court of equity can secure a proven
tiOn Of the continued wrongs. The
plaintiffs have rights. however. against
the defendants, even though their hold
ings are small. They ought to have
brought their suit Ions ago, when the
smelter started, says the court i'm
stead of waiting until SO much money
had been put into it,
Damages Ordered Estimated.
The court viii order the master to es-
innate the damage done the plaintiff
property, and then VIII order the smell
ter company to pay the amount. If
the latter refuses, it viii be enjoined
from operating its plant,
The defendants rendered the land
owners the market value of their prop
erty. in court but the tender was re-
fused
The plaintiffs, Andrew SWenson and
wife, have no right to an injunction,
for they have released the defendant
from any liability by reason of the
operation of the shelter prior to Jan
uaTy, 1904 As to them the bill is dis
missed.
These latter plaintiffs came into the
case after it had started. Later they
made q settlement out of court.
