Worse Than McCue Case.

Auburn, Cal, Special.--Adoif Weber.
has been placed under arrest, charged
with the murder of his parents, sister
and young brother last Thursday night
and with having set the family resi-
dence on fire afterwards to conceal
: the crime Weber took tho arrest cooi-
sly. The arrest took place immediately
after he left the witness, stand, and af-
ter he had reluctantly answered the
questions asked him by Coroner Shen-
ard, the district attorney and several
of the iurymen.
The latest theory i'll the Weber mur-
Z ier case Is that the murderer shot the
father first; then, as the sister appear
sed in the hall. he shot her; and then
@the mother seeing what had been done,
screamed and started for him, when
Z he shot her. She continued on across
the room, and raising her left hand,
took down the telephone receiver to
scall for help, at which time she receiv-
ed the second shot which penetrated
: the body just under the left arm. The
child being the only one left, the muir.
derer struck him over the head and
felled him. The operator at the CEN
trai telephone Office says that The line
at the Weber residence showed busy
at about half hour before the fire was
discovered.
Adoiphus Weber. in Jail. had moth
ling to say beyond that he had a good
nights rest. No effort has been made
to get the young man ont on writ
by bis attorneys.
sz Weber's description is said to tally
with the description OF one of the rob-
! bers who robbed the bank here.

more. This is not a tradition, but a.
well authenticated fact, as is abund-'
antly. attested by the archives Of the
Mccormick family
The first owner Of the old manor
was George Councilman, who obtained
possession Of the farm through grant:
from Lord Baltimore. The grant Is in:
possession of Mr.. Mccormick, who
prizes it as a precious heirloom. Mr..
Mccormick became a member Of the
Councilman fnmily by marriage with
Miss Martha Councilman, daughter OF
George Councilman, who recently died
at the advanced age Of Sc years. The
grant is beautifully ensrossed on
parchment and is well preserved and
perfectly legible. The place was
named Mark Alexander's Range in
honor of Mark Alexander, Lord Baltl-
mores agent at that time. 1t is situ-
ated on the old Blue Ball road, a
short distance east of Pokorny's Four
mile house, on the Belair road.

BOAT TO SAIL ON LAND.
Youthful Eastern inventor Has Built
Novel Vehicle.

Youthful Eastern inventor Has Built
/. Novel Vehicle.
This latest thing in the way Of a
vehicle Is land sailboat, which has
been invented by Master Pembroke
Jones, Jr., aged 12, Of Newport, and
which, if it proves all the young man
expects, is SIRE to attract attention
in the world of science.
The boat, in general way, looks
like an iceboat on wheels. 1t Is 25 feet
over all and is in two parts. Like an
iceboat, it is really nothing but a
framework, from which rises a mast
carrying a single sail like that Of q
catboat.
The rear section OF the craft is
square and running through 1t later
ally is an axle, upon each end Of
which is bicycle wheel. The forward
section Is in the form Of triangle,
giving the vehicle general triangu-
lar form. On the front Of the forward
section is another bicycle wheel, max
ing three wheels in all upon which the
land boat runs.
The forward and aft sections are
connected by plank upon which the
forward section turns on what is
known on carriage as a fifth wheel.
The forward wheel, by which the
land boat is to be steered, is connect
ed to an ordinary steering wheel, To-
Gated in the rear section, the gear
and methods of connection being that
employed in yachts.-New York Amer.

TILL NOON,

When the doctor takes his own med
icine and the grocer eats the food he
recommends some confidence comes
to the observer.
A grocer, of Ossian. Ind, had prac-
tlcal experience with food worth any
ones attention.
He says: "SiX years ago I became
so weak from stomach and bowel
trouble that was finally compelled to
give up all work in my store, and, in
fact, all sorts of work fnr about four
years. The last year was confined
to the bed nearly all Of the time, and
much of the time unable to retain food
of any sort on ny stomach. My bow
els were badly constipated continual
ly, and I lost in weight from 1G5
pounds down 10 SIS pounds.
"When at the bottom of the ladder
I changed treatment entirely and start
ed in on Grape-Nuts and cream for
nourlshment. I used absolutely moth
ing but this for about three months. l
slowly improved until 1 got out Of bed
and began to move about.
81 have been improving regularly
and now in the past two years have
been working about fifteen hours 4
day in the store and never felt better
in my life.
During these two years I have nev-
er missed breakfast Of Grape-Nuts
and cream, and often have it two
meals day, but the entire breakfast
is always. made Of Grape-Nuts and
cream alone.
"Since commencing The use Of Grape.
Nuts I have never used anything to
stimulate the action Of the bowels, q
thing I had 10 do for years, but this
food keeps me regular and i'll fine
shape, and I am growing stronger and
heavier every day.
"Nfy customers, naturally, have been
interested and am compelled to an
swer a great many questions about

Responsibility Fixed.

The New York Mail has finally fixed
the responsibility for the baldheaded-
ness Of the men Of this generation,
the Watertown Times-Standard states.
1t Is the nightcap that did the mis-
chief, and while It did not make the
generation that wore 1t baldheaded, it
weakened the hair producing organs
and subsequent gen erations have mad
to pay for tie san g. That is The
New York Nails ex explanation. 1t is
just as good as any. Still the musi-
clans explanation gwen a short time
ago, that baldheadeaIess was caused
by antagonistic vibrations OF certain
tunes, is rather better, because 1t ap-
pears so much more scientific and
gives range for wider speculation.
