Appleton Mystery Deepens.

The mystery in the case of Henry
Hartman of Appleton, whose body was
found recently, after being missing for
thirteen months, deepens. 1t is the opin-
ion Of a number who visited the scene
where his body was found, among them
being District Attorney Wilcox, that
Hartman met death by accident. The
coroner's jury gave verdict that Hart
man met death from a gunshot wound
at the hands of other person or persons.
Hartman's brother is of, the opinion that
he was not murdered by the Indian, Jim
Rhodes, but by white man, although

was subjected to the usual strict scru-
tiny, and the head of the family and
his wife deputized to their maid Il
quick-witted Baltimore woman, the
duty of opening the trunks and giving
to the officials such information as
might be desired. The maid was SO
obliging and prompt that the officer,
noticing the family name on the trunks
addressed her as Mrs. tt. When
the last trunk had been opened the
official became suspicious that he had
made a mistake and said:
II presume you are Mrs. t"
''Then you are too presumptuous, "
was the quick reply.
The officer Immediately closed down
the lid of the trunk and walked away,

GARDEN CRAZE IN ENGLAND.
1t Has Brought About the Cult cf Gar
den Ornament.

1T Has Brought About the Cult CO Car
den Ornament.
The garden craze of the past few
years, for which was predicted brief
life, though a merry one, has become
what its real yotaries thought it wousl,
a source of permanent interest.
This emphasis Of enthusiasm has
brought about the cult Of the garden
ornament and those who are able to
afford to do SO are searching far and
wide for some piece of sculpture that
shall harmonic with the style of tlreir
gardens, be they Elizabethiau, ia
cobean, or Of the Georgian period.
Until one remembers the depreda
lions of the Puritans during the civil
wars in this country it is difficult to
understand how it is that the, Eliza-
bethian and Jacobean periods did not
produce greater number of pieces Of
garden sculpture than they did. Most
of the images Of the Jacobean gardens
the Puritans demolished, particularly
if they were of lead, very fayorite
material in those days for the manu-
facture of such ornaments. Lead Of
every kind wassprecious for the forna-
ton Of bullets. =
Lead images are now very highly
priced for garden ornaments, and so
are those made of terra Gotta and, Of
course, of marble and stone.
There were many quaint coacejts in
garden ornaments in the days of long
ago that did not appeal alone to the
beauty-loving eye, but aroused the
practical joker Of the period. Any
one who has visited the Cars sum-
mer palace at Peterhof, near st. Pet
ersburg, will remember in the garden
of one of the lovely small villas ada
cent to the palace trick fountains, as
they are called, innocent looking mar
BILE seats upon which no sooner has
the visitor sought repose than he is
drenched with a shower Of water.
Such trick arbors and trick seats were
quite a feature of the gardens Of long
ago.-London Daily Mail.

Falling Off in Santa Fc Earnings.
Earnings of the Atchison, Topeka

heavy falling off for the first month
Of the new fiscal year. This IS the
first interruption In a long series OF
excellent statements from the Atchi-
son. The decrease in gross for the

is equivalent to a decrease In net Of

Investigate Private Car Industry.
1t is understood that the interstate
commerce commission has decided to
come to Chicago on September "a and
institute d complete investigation Of
the private car industry. S%uhpoenaes
are said to have been prepared for
more than 100 railroad officials and
officers Of car lines. There is some
doubt whether the car lines will pay
any attention to the snbpoenaes and
il they respond it is likely that they
will seek to cireumscribe the inquiry.
Oil as Fuel.
The Southern Pacific company mas
just completed changes necessary to
introduce oil as fuel at the shops at
Sacramento, and no mor coal will
be used there as fuel. 1t Is the in
tention OF the company to In time use
oil as fuel on every locomotive 0
the system, and the engines are grad
ually being changed from coal TO oil
burners. President Hartman has pur-
chased large tracts Of oil lands in
Southern California, from which to get
a supply of oil.
