THOUSANDS Of CHIMNEY SWEEPS

1t is astonishing the number OF BLACK
bats, or old fashioned chimney sweeps
that can get into one chimney. They
begin flying about at an hour before
dark in the vicinity Of the chimney
where they spend the night, and they
continue to go round and round for
awhile when they make turn and go
the other way, all the time getting lower
and lower until they get low enough tc
begin falling into the chimney.
Then they fall in like grain out of
hopper until the last one is safely hous
ed.
They have a certain place in every
town where they roost. In Mayield tho
place selected is the chimney at the
Christian church and we are safe in say
ing that there are between five and tel
thousand that fall into that Gimme!

MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED.

st. Louis Aug. 80 In the death Of a
woman at the City Hospital on June IL,
last, murder mystery of long standing
in Elizabethtown, ILL.,. has probably been
solved. a written confession, which the
woman Is purported to have made before
her death was made public Thursday in
Golconda, Ill.
The woman, who is said to have made
the anti-mortum confession, was Mrs.
Mary Sophia Ledbetter, and lived for
several months at 1898 Chouteau avenue
in this city. On Sunday, June 8, last
she was taken TO the City Hospital fol
an operation on an abcess an she died
six days later.
The mystery which Mrs. Ledbetter is
said to have cleared is that of the death
Of DIR. Newton Fowler, Of Elizabethtown
H., which occurred over nine years ago
On winters evening DR.. Fowler was
found with his skull crushed against a
brick wall.
| The small village was aroused by what
they considered cold -blooded murder
Numerous clews were run down. People
who had heard screams emanating from
the alley where the physician was found
dead, were located. Theories were de-
veloped until suspicion finally rested on
James a. Kirkham, saloon keeper there
and former husband of Mrs. Ledbetter
Kirkham was indicted for the crime
and at the February term, 1885, of the
Hardin county court was convicted and
given a sentence of fifteen years in the
penitentiary at Chester. After serving
few months of the sentence he wa;
pardoned 10y Governor Tanner.
According to the statement which
Mrs. Ledbetter is said to have made sh'

to be punished for a crime for which he
had nothing to do with and which shI

FRESH TROOPS ARRIVING
REASON FOR LONG DELAY IN THE
JAPANESE ADVANCE ON
! MUkDEN.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 27-The cause
of the extreme deliberatiOn in the
Japanese advance on Mukden is eX-
planned by a dispatch received from
General KurOpatllin, which indicates
that Field Marshal Oyama has not Yet
concentrated his forces. Fresh troops
are constantly arriving at Bentsla-
putZe, while others which recently
reached lliaOyang are marching up the
Taitse river to Sianchap These rein
fOrcements presumably come from
Japan. AS soon as the fourth Japan
ese army at SlanChdn is sufficiently
strong, it is now evident, the japanese
intend to resort TO their faVOrite tlanh-
ing tactics, move q formidable array
against kurOpatkin'S left and compel
the evacuation OF Sintsintin. They are
evidently accommodating the ground
over which the Sianchan army viii
march up and cross the river. Mean
while General KurOki is trying to
seize and cross the Hun river far east
OF Mukden. Thence he viii move down

EARLY IN COMING YEAR.
Probable late of Meeting Of Second
Peace Conference

Washington, Sept 27.--President
Roosevelt's announcement to the dele
gates to the Interparliamentary union
that at an early date he would invite
the nations of the world to send dele
gates to second peace conference
whose work should be supplemental
to that of the conference at The Hague
is regarded as a historic advance to-
ward the adjustment of international
difficulties through the medium of arbi-
tration. Quite naturally the question
arose as to how soon the president
might call the conference He did not
indicate in his address the probable
time of his issuance of the call, but it
can be stated that he will not await
the conclusion of peace between Japan
and Russia, both signatories to The
Hague convention, before issuing his
call. It is his present intention in
about six weeks to bring the matter
to the attention of the nations~of the
world with a view to ascertaining
their desires as to the time and place
of holding the second conference.
These preliminary inquiries will be
made through the department Of state.
AS soon thereafter as the replies re-
ceived shall warrant the president will
issue his formal call for the confer
ence, which probably will he early in
the coming year.

st. Louis, Sept. 27.-The interna-

during the day at the worlds fair for a
convention that will continue in ses-
sion during the week. The purpose Of
the congress, as stated by the National
Association Of State Dairy and Food
Departments, under whose auspices it
is held, is to call into conference the
food scientists, food control govern
ment authorities and food manufactur-
ing interests i'll order that some action
may be passed relative to the control
of food adulterations and misbrand-
ing. With view to establishing a
standing international food commits
sion on adulteration recommendations
to that end will probably be made by
the foreign delegates. The prohibition
of colOrs and antiseptics, the adultera-
tion and false labelling of wines and
whiskies and the baking powder con
troversy are among the questions that
will come up for discussion. A reso-
luton will be presented at the con
gress demanding that all foods com
peting for awards at the exposition be
free from adulterations and truthfully
branded.
