will dispute the fact that he had to
pay so cents more for them then

given:
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1904-10-14

This community has paid $3,6OO

years; adding so per cent, makes
$5,40O, which would have been paid
under the old plan, net saving Of
81 800.
For the next five years an aver
age reduction of II per cent has been
secured, which amounts to $612; this
added to $500 makes a saving of
$2,41 for the next five years-quite
ar important item for one commun-

years and think how often changes

idea, threw out his predecessors S
books and adopted new ones. Then
you couldn't exchange them at half
price, and, in many instances, they
were a total loss

MADE A NEW RECORD.
Business of the Bluff City as Reflected
by the Bank CIearines.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 9.-The weeks
bank clearings for the six days ended
yesterday reached the total of $5,954.-
600. or an average of almost s1,000,OO0
per day. On several days the amount
exceeded $1,000,000. This total COM
pares with S3,S66,00O the previous
week and $4,717,OO for the same week
last year and S4,412,000 for the cor
responding week in 1902.
1t will thus be seen that the weeks
business as reflected by the bank clear
ings was more than S1,000,000 in ex-
cess of the same weeks in the two pre-
vious years and more than $2,O00,OOO
in excess of the preceding week.
Thus these examples multiply. The
totals with the amounts of increase for
the respective comparisons are given!

disappeared, and drove home along the public road. Search was made for some evidence that the crime had been com- mitted between the neighbor's house and his home, but none could be found.
 His horse was hitched to his buggy and circuitous drive was made to the home of the neighbor. Then the road was followed that Sanderson travelled on the night of his disappearance. At an abrupt turn the horse showed signs of fear. He pricked up his ears, turned to the side of the road and showed un- willingness to proceed.
 The spot was examined and inthe dust at the side of the road were found sew eral little balls of dust which are De- lieved to have been made by drops of blood which flowed from Sanderson's wounds. These now are in the hands of the officers and are being subjected to analysis The officers are positive that this will be shown, as there has been no rain in the locality for several weeks.
 Four men were hunting later in the neighborhood of the Sanderson home, and one of them shot and wounded a quail. The wounded bird fell in the yard, and when the hunters went in to get it it fluttered under the house. One of the men followed it, and as he crawled through an opening in the foun- dalton he discovered two tin cans filled with dynamite A fuse led them to an- other opening in the foundation wall. Each can contained about five pounds of the explosive, and it was plain that it had been placed there with the inten- tion of blowing up the house.
 The authorities were notified and started an investigation to find where the explosive and the cans were bought. They are reticent, but believe that the same men who murdered Sanderson placed the heavy dynamite charge under his house. y
 The theory of the state is that the murderers, knowing Sanderson was away from home, placed the explosive under his house and intended to return that night and light the fuse! But on their way home they met the man at the turn of the road, that they purposely got into an altercation with him and killed him, taking the body from the place In his buggy to the gravel pit pond where it was found.

Indiana Authorities Find Strange Helpers in Solving Mysterious Murder Case Which Had Per-

Hartford City, Ind.-Has the hand of Providence, guiding the steps of 8 musk rat to a place of safety, filling dumb animal with the fear of remembered danger and directing the flight of a wounded bird, helped in the detection of the murderers of Edward F. Sander son?
 This is a popular question in this county. Some point to the peculiar cir cumstances as confirmatory of the fact, while others declare that the strange happenings were merely accidental. Certainly the events leading up to the arrest of the suspects stand out as sin- gular in the annals or crime.
 Edward F. Sanderson, a large prop erty owner, lived on a farm ten miles from this city. He disappeared, and for a week persistent search was made for him without result.
 A boy employed in factory near here took his lunch basket week after Sanderson's disappearance and went in the direction of an old gravel pit, which had become filled with water He sat down to eat his lunch and muskrat ran past him. He followed it and 1t dis appeared at the edge of the pond. He was about to turn away when he saw the hand of man above the stagnant water. He called some of the men from the factory After much difficulty the body was removed. It was found to have been weighted with a 75-pound. stone, which was attached to it by a strap.
 N-L ~ \ s4.s3 .ss . -szs man, and examination showed that two bullets had been fired into the brain be- fore 1t was placed in the pond, where it was found.
 Where had the murder occurred? The gravel pit was some distance from the highway and sanderson was known not to have been near it the day he dis appeared.

Experiments with Hvdrosen

The atmosphere is composed Of oxygen and nitrogen, the former sub stance being necessary to life. It has been a matter of scientific speculation, however, what part is played by the nitrogen and whether it could be sup- planted by hydrogen Prof. Marcacci. of Palermo. Italy, has recently, shown that, in an atmosphere artificially con- structed with an equal amount of hy- drogen substitute for nitrogen, life can- not be supported for any length of time. Prof. Marcacci tried to keep anil mals in such an atmosphere, but he found that they soon died, the same ef- fects been noticed as would result from cold. This is explained by the fact that hydrogen possesses greater conductivity than nitrogen.
