AN ECHO OF The FLOOD
A Galveston Lady Escaped the
Flood and was Saved from its
Ravages by Almost a Miracle

Mrs. NJ. Isted, OF 1866 Mechan-
ic street, Galveston, we'll known
in that city, says; II caught cold
during the flood Of September
1900, and it settled in my kid
neys. Despite the fact that |
tried all kinds Of medicines and
was under the care Of physicians,
the eXcruciating twinges and dull
aching across the small Of my
back refused to leave and trouble
with the kidney secretions began
to set in, The fearful pain
through my body, loss of appetite,
loss of sleep, consequent loss of
energy, and finally an indication
of complete dissolution compelled
from sheer agony Of pain to either
lie on the floor and scream or
forced me into spasms. / grew
weaker and thinner and ran down
so physically that nothing was
left but skin and bone. All my
friends, acquaintance and neigh
bors knew about my critical con-

SECRETLY MARRIED.
Wedding of May Wheeler of Fond du
Lac to Orley Walcott Made
Known

Fond du Lac, Wis, Oct. 3.-[Special.
The marriage Of Miss May Wheeler to
Oliver Wolcott of Milwaukee was sol
emnized at Scofield, Wis, Saturday morn
ing, unbeknown to the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs Frank Wheeler Of North
Fond du Lac. A telegram was received
by Mrs. Wheeler late Saturday evening
announcing the wedding and saying that
the two had gone to Chicago. Later an
other message arrived in the city adj
dressed to Mr.. Grace, which read as fol-
lows: FINALLY won her; married today.
Orley Wolcott.'
Miss Wheeler has been employed for
the past year as musician at the Anderson
music store. On September 2 she secured
a vacation and went to Scofeld to visit
with her aunt, Mrs. Gunther. The even
ing preceding her departure she met Mr..
Wolcott and it is supposed that the final
arrangements for the wedding were then
made. She was to have returned here
Saturday, to resume her position this
morning. Walcott's home is in Milwau
kee. and year ago he was temporarily
located in this city.
1t is not believed that he made Miss
Wheeler's acquaintance then, but five
months ago he was again in the city and
1t was then that their acquaintance was
formed. Her parents and friends were
not aware of the attachment. While the
kilograms say that they have gone to
Chicago, it is not believed that they went
there, but that they are in Milwaukee.
Wolcott was employed at the Oriental,
Milwaukee, and Friday he asked his en-
ployer for a few days vacation, stating
he intended getting married. He did not
give the name of the bride. Dispatches
say he intended to return to work this
morning, but he does not intend to make
Milwaukee his home. Mr.. Wheeler has
gone to Milwaukee in hopes of locating
the bridal couple.
Oliver Wolcott is the son of Hubert
Wolcott, who lives at 7S5 Cass street,
in Milwaukee, and is the grand nephew
Of q. B. Wolcott, for whom 81. A. r.
post in Milwaukee is named.

HARTMAN CASE DROPPED.
No Further Effort to Be Made to Solve
Mystery of Death of Apple
ton Man.

:, Appleton, Wis, Oct. 3.-[Special. lit
is the general belief that the Hartman
case has been dropped for good. While
the people in the vicinity of his home de-
manded that the coroner's jury give a
verdict of murder it is not thought they
will make an effort to find out who COM
mitted the deed, if anyone did, but will
let it rest in doubt.
While Hartmans brother says he has
good belief to think he knows who COM
mitted the crime it cannCt be learned
that he has done anything to prove his
convictions and from what he knows now
no warrant would be issued for an arrest,
even though he applied for one, which he
has made no effort to do.
1t is thought that during the excite,
ment after the remains were discovered, !
that the neighbors thought foul play had
been committed, but that they were sat-
isfed with the verdict Of the jury and
are now cooling down.

above the ear. In the construction OF
the device the wire frame is allowed
necessary lateral play, SO that it can
be moved up and down without re-
moving the entire cap from the head
Of the wearer Instead of throwing
Off the cap the catcher simply throws
the head backward. which automatl-
cally throws the mask out Of connec-
ton with the face, when it fastens
in a guard at the top, where it can be
retained as long as desired. This gives
the catcher the free use of his hands
at all times. The mask can be read

proportions, and could also be used to
advantage by the umpire. Heinrich

teal inventor has called attention in
the device explained below to a very
troublesome matter in connection with
the telephone. If person is COMPEL
ed to hold the receiver to the ear for
any undue length Of time, the arm be-
comes very tired but still there is no
way Of relieving the strain. In the
attachment here shown it is not neces-
sary to hold the receiver any longer
than to throw il from the cutoff lever
to alignment with the ear. The ex-
tension which holds the receiver in
this position is ptvotally constructed,
so that when the conversation is fin
ished the receiver is returned to it's
normal position, which actuates the
cutoff switch. The attachment as
shown here is connected to what are
termed desk phones" but by minor
changes in the details Of construction
it can be as easily connected to the
ordinary stationary phone.
The patentee is George A. Cowgirl,
Of Euphemia, Ohio.

Simple ScafoId.

Painters and decorators, and others
in similar occupations, are compelled
at most times to use scaffolding, but
it is seldom that we see two that are
alike in construction. They all have
their own ideas of how a scaffold
should be made, and generally con-
form to those ideas. Some build
rough support out of ordinary boards;
others use ladders, while the still
larger firms have specially designed
scaffolds Of elaborate construction
For ordinary work that is not beyond
the height of the everyday ladder, the
device shown here is indeed very sim
pie and requires no lumber or other

the shoe after it
is on the foot-the lace and the button
and these are merely a matter of the
individual preference of the wearer, be-
ing used in aboutequal proportion. Both
are simple and easily fastened aud
are neat in appearance, which makes
It hard for the inventor to improve on
them. A new shoe fastener, the idea
of two New Jersey men, Is shown in
the illustration. The parts are very
simple, and in all probability could be
as readily adjusted as the lace or but
ton fastener. This fastener, which is
stitched or otherwise secured invisibIy
in the flies on each side Of the shoe,
consists Of spiral springs, so con-
structed as to receive a locking rod
which is inserted through the springs.
When the springs are in a closed posi-
ton this rod is kept from falling out
by attaching a lateral hook at it's
lower end to another hook in one
of the flies. One Of the obvious adj
vantages is that the danger of catch
ing or tearing the garments will be
wholly eliminated, and the locking
rod can be made Of metal of sufficient
fexibility as to conform readily to
the bend Of the foot in walking. Gar
rett Van Wagner and Charles A. Lind
strom, of Rutherford, n. j. are the
patenteeS.

To Stop Rattle of Spokes.

A good way to overcome the rattle
Of spokes is to go over the wheel and
tighten all bolts, then make a water
tight trough large enough so that the
wheel may be set upright in it; this
trough should be about six inches
deep. Then buy a gallon Of inseed
oil and while boiling hot pour it in the
trough, set the wheel in it, rolling it
around slowly so that the crevices will
take in the oil and then, with a brush,
go over, with the oil, all portions
which are not covered while the wheel
is standing in the tub. Not only will
the rattle be stopped, but the wheel
will last great deal longer under

Lete-Hatched Chickens.

1t is not usually profitable to carry
the late-hatched chicks into winter
quarters, for they will not lay until
midwinter or early spring, hence will
consume more food than their eggs
will pay for. We have found it an ex-
cellent plan to keep the late-hatched
chicks on the range as long as possible,
and when they must be brought in and
fed place them in quarters by them
selves. Then they are given just
enough room to take moderate exer-
else, some green food and for grain
mainly corn, only enough other grain
being given them to keep them from
being corn sick. The idea is to fatten
them as quickly and inexpensively as
possible after they are brought in
doors. They are then marketed and
bring price which makes it profitable
to raise them to this point.

Growing Special Crops.


Each year there are numbers Of
GROWERS among farmers who wish
they could find some branch Of agri-
cultural work less arduous than mixed
farming. 1t is admitted that on some
farms hard work is about all there Is
to be found, and yet the conditions
surrounding many such farms are
such that only mixed farming can be
carried on with any degree Of success.
On the other hand, there are farms de.
voted to general farming which should
be turned into speciality farms. Then,
too, we find farmers who are peculiar.
ly successful in growing some one Oh
two crops.
In such cases the way is plain. II
the soil and conditions seem suited to
these one or two crops one can grow
better than his neighbors, such crops
should be made specialties-not the
entire farm devoted to them, but suf+
fcient Of it to bring proper returns.
We believe the ideal farm to be the
one which is made to produce the liv7
ing-that IS, the food-for the peopla
and the stock on 1T, and the remaining
acres devoted wholly to specialties
which experience has proved Of value.
In this way che is sure Of living and
Of money crop varying according to
climatic and market conditions; but
generally, at it's worst, sufficient to
bring in what cash is needed for the
year.
