The Newark Evening News, the
most influential journal in Now Jer-
sey and the best evening newspaper
In the world, has come out for Roose-
velt and Fairbanks-at least that is
the conclusion reached by many of ito
readers from its editorial on Reasons
for supporting Roosevelt" published
last Friday. The Daily Advertiser
shares that opinion. and In copgratu-
lating the Republican party upon the
accession says: "'The reasons given
by the News for taking this position
in the campaign are logical and
sufficient. That endorsement ought
to be appreciated at its full worth. as

with the government One of my
friends wrote me that she lived COM
fortably, and he suspected that Densky
had been able to turn over to her some
means that had been left him shortly
before her arrest.
The next surprise in store for me was
that Olga had been found dead in her
bed with knife in her heart. There
was no clew TO the perpetratOr of the
deed, but the police don't talk much
in such matters, and l presumed they
would give nothing out until after they
had arrested the murderer. | spent
much time wondering as to the motive
for the murder and trying in some way
to account for it in connection with
Densky's Imprisonment, but the more
l thought the more mysterious the
whole affair appeared to me. What
was most remarkable was that, though
the government made a special effort
to discover the slayer Of Olga Narenka,
Offering rs high as 10000 rubles for
his detection, he was never discovered.
rest, eighteen months after the murder
of Olga Varenka, that young German
nobleman called to see me with let
ter of introduction from-whom2 |
could scarcely believe my eyes when
recognized the writing and saw the
signature Of Peter Densky. He was
living in obscurity in little German
town. But matter 10 less surprising
was that the little country girl, Aline,
was living with him as his wife. The
object Of Densky's taking the risk Of
writing me was to ask me to endeavOr
to secure the property he had inherited
and had hidden from the government.
The young German had been a pupil
of Densky and idoliZed him.
l succeeded in finding the property
and, putting it in diamonds, contrlved
to outwit the customs officials and the
police, taking it to Densky across the
border. ! found him anXiOusly wait
ing me and 1t, he being eager to de-
part for America. Now comes the
most surprising part Of this story.

watched for months for an oppOrtuni-
ty to communicate with him and given
him tools with which he effected his
escape. When | looked at the girl
who had accomplished this was lost
in wonder. She gave no evidence of
brilliancy in any direction, but it
was evident that she worshiped her
husband, who was very tender with
her, especially as she seemed somewhat
broken by her efforts in his behalf
But was not yet through with my
surprises. Olga Narenka was a paid
spy for the government and had be
trayed Densky, who, while l believed
him an enemy to nihilism, was head
man among the nihilists.
Years after all this happened l came
to America and found Densky, who
was a widower, a hopeless man whose
sole condition was that of mourning.
He gave me the last Of my surprises.
Alinc had revenged him on the woman
who had betrayed him.

ciDe, Giving Author. ties.

cipe, Giving Authorities.
The regular correspondent from
FlOrahome is mistaken in suppOsing
that | supposed" any trees in this
locality were cut down because of
the San Jose scale. | did no suppos-
ing at all, but knew it to be POSI-
tive fact that at least one man beside
Mr.. Starkey, has cut down some
peach trees this spring, and that
these. were cut down on account of
the scale. This statement | am pre-
pared to prove if necessary. Num-
bers of plum trees We're cut down OH
the orchard tract but | do rot know
for what cause.
Referring to the caustic soda, it's
use is not II theory. Mr. Frank DeX-
ter (the authority to which re-
ferred), after trying all other washes
known, has found the caustic soda
wash to be Il complete and harmless
cure. The editor Of the Farm Jour
nal, Ca widely circulated and prGcti-
cal farm paper) after his expert
ence with caustic soda rs Il fruit tree
wash, pronounced it lust the stuff
to use as n summer wash on the
trunks and larger limbs, and says to
apply it with fertilizer bags. Now
since there is proof that it has been,
and can be, used with practical re-
suits it should not be condemned be-
cause one party that used it was not
successful. Not all people meet sue
cess with any method. Mistakes are
liable to be made with any pre- para
ffon, and an occasional failure result.
1t is IL fact that we must work Il
problem correctly if we wish to OBJ
tain the correct result. My former
letter contained caution about how
and when it should be used and the
proper solution to be used on fruit
trees. Nor does the fact that hun
dreds of tons of caustic soda have
been used in the manufacture Of
print paper from straw, have any
thing to do with it's value as San
Jose scale destroyer when properly
prepared and applied. The lime,
sulphur and salt wash is all right but
| would advise anyone wishing to
use it, to inform themselves thor
oughly OIL the subject of it's prepare
ton and use, or this too may prove a
failure. This information can be
had from the spraying numbers Of
the National Fruit Grower, st. Jo-
seph's, Mich, the Farm Journal,

cultural papers.

Was Not an Elopement.

Furthef investigation by this paper
INTO the recent sensational charges,
emahating from Huntington, that o.
H. Hill and Mrs l.. p. Funk, former
poStlnIStress at that place, had
e'oped, is proved to be without other
foundation than the fact that Hill
uIa accompany Mrs. Funk to jack
SohNllIe. Mrs. Funk stayed in Jack
SohVlIic, where she is now +, siding
with her mother and children at "A
Stoncwall street. Hill continued
his journey that same niaht to Ten
heSSee, where he had an offer Of
work at his trade MS barrel iointer.
Mrs. Funk did make move for a
divorce some time ago, but it was
failure. Since that time there has
been u feeling against her among
certain people. At the time she
made application for divorce Hill
was boarding at her home. He was
only taken rs n boarder by Mrs.
Funk after she had been advised so
to do by some who are now denounc-
ing her. There is no proof that in
any of her actions she has conducted
herself other than as lady.
Mr.. Hill returned to the state on
Monday last and on that day went
to Hastings. lie claims he is here
now in the interests of the Tennessee
Cooperage company and to look into
the prospects for that company's en-
gaglng in business at Hastings. He
bears letters of endorsement from
very many of the leading citizens of
Deshler, Ohio, where he formerly re-
sided for over % years and which
letters bear testimony to his high
character as an Industrious, sober,
Intelligent, temperate and moral
citizen who is to be trusted as
gentleman. Mr.. Hill regrets exceed
lngIy that he should be the cause of
bringing into unpleasant notoriety
the name of II lady, and one who has
always in his company conducted
herself as such.

Of Surprises
[Original.l

[Originall
When we were at the university,
Peter Densky was marked man
among us. In everything he stood head
and shoulders above the rest of us.
One thing troubled me with refer
ence to Densky He had little sweet
heart-Aline was the only name l
knew for her-in his native town, and
l feared that by marrying a simple
country girl he would be less likely to
attain that career which | felt was In
store for him. rather hoped he
would marry Olga Vnrenka, a graduate
of the girls seminary near the uni
versity where we studied. Olga APP
peared to me TO promise as much for
a woman us Densky did for man.
The only thing had against her was
that she was tinctured with revolution
airy notions, but rs Densky was Il man
to do his own thinking and seemed to
be especially bitter against nihilism
doubted if she would influence him in
this respect. She gave evidence OF be-
ing partial to Densky, and before he
was graduated it seemed plain to me
that she had won him from his rural
sweetheart. Every one said, What
couple those two will make-all intellcc.
tual and physical vigor."
After leaving the university CORE
sDOnded for time with DenSky, but
he was too secretive and undemonstra-
tive for a letter writer, and our CORE
spondence was soon dropped. | sup
posed he was engaged to Olga Narenka,
but heard nothing of this or an ap-
preaching marriage. One day took up
a newspaper and was astonished to see
q report of Densky's arrest. The gov
eminent gave no reason, and as Densky
had only been outspoken in one mat
ter-his antipathy to the methods or
nihilism-I naturally supposed his ar
rest was one Of the many mistakes
that were made and that he would
soon be restored to liberty.
The arrest occurred in st. Petersburg,
and | hurried there to be of service II

Time to Compare Records.

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
Its about time for the people OF
Florida to look around and see what
they are doing when they vote for
Broward instead of Hon. r. w.
Davis. They should look back and
into tie past record of these two
men. Bob" Davis is man with Il
clean record. He has proved him
self honest and has worked for the
interests OF the people in every place
they have put him, and we can't see
how anv man can vote against him
for n man that has "black spots on
his record. We hope all those good
neople in Putnam county who have
heen carried away by Broward's pro-
fassion's of love for the dear people
will consider this subject of past
records in Office of the two men.
If they do this they will surely
vota for Hon. r.. w. Davis on the It'll
of lime. Yours Truly,

G.. d. Seely, M. d., the eminent
physician and surgeon, who at one
time made Crescent City his home,
is now practicing his profession at
Pasadena, California. DR.. Seely,
however. is now devoting himself
largely to the oculistic branch of his

nificent $50 room hotel owned and
managed by Milo NJ. Potter, another
former Crescent City resident and
who owned and managed the big Pot
ter House which stood on the block
bounded by Summit, Main, Central
and Cypress avenues. This hotel
was burned down in the spring of
1856, and is only remembered by old
