former proprietor of small east side dry
goods store today walked into a police

given her husband dose of carbolic acid.
She did not know why she did it, she said
An examination of Honer's body disclosed
burns in the mouth and throat, apparently
caused by carbolic acid.
Medical Examiner Rowland has made a
statement in which he says there is no
doubt in his mind that Mrs. Homer gave
carbolc acid to her husband and that she
is not in her right mind now. He is not
prepared to express an opinion to wheth-
er she was rational when she poisoned her
husband, however.

Fourth Of July.

Next Tuesday will be one hundred
aud twentv.1ine wears since fifty brave
and patriotic men signed the Declare
tion of Independence. declaring to
he civ ilized world That these Unit d
Colonies are, and of right ought to be
FREE AND INDEPENDENT
STATES. - 1t takes volumns to tell
what the actions of that ASSEMBLY
meant to the participants. their fami-
lies and their homes. But having
faith in Him who guides the destiny
of nations, they never faltered, but
pledged to each other, their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor.
That day a new Nation was born.
Struggling in infancy like a helpless,
babe, it required the most careful
nourishment TO sustain its life. but
with libeIty-that sentiment which
animates every human heart-burning
in every breast, and the hope of free.
dom in sight, this new born Nation
began II grow. Obstacles, war

above the peal of muskerry could be
hrard the voice of the dying soldiers
calling for Others to take its place in
the vanguard for freedom Thus our
forefathers, counting life but nought
cnmuared with tyranny, struggled on
and on for eight long wearisome years
until at last liberty, none and freedom
were fully reuized.
Years aud years have PASSED away
since those ueIiIous times. The brave
generals, officers and privates have
moulderei III the clay. But lingering
around the tombs Of tho.e revolution
AIRY martyrs is chord of patriotism
left to every American heart by his
noble sire that even death cannot end,

thy death right and justice triumph

ADVICE TO AUTIsTs.
Mr.. Glidden Tells Drivers of Auto
mobiles How to Avoid Accidents.

Drivers In operating motor cars can
profit by the recent sad accidents.
First-In approaching horse
drawn vehicle. whether standing or
moving, slow down to six miles per
hour
Second-When a dog is sighted
ahead. slow to the same speed, six
miles per hour, and take firm hold of
the steering wheel. AT this speed
you can, in most cases. drive the dog
away. If the dog runs out suddendly
stop If possible, but in no case change
the course of the car.
Third-Start slowly. 1t is possible to
move the car under its own power
inch by Inch if desired. Under this
practice the exact position of the
mechanism can be ascertained.
Fourth-In driving out of difficult
place, do SO without passengers.
Where many turns, much backing
and forward movements are necessary
to reach the main road, it can be done
better with a light load and your re.
sponsibility is lessened.
Fifth-ln driving through city
streets do not blow the horn to clear
the road, giving the impression that
YOU have the right of way, but drive
slowly and demonstrate to the public
the easy manner in which the great
power can be controlled. They are
well informed as regards the speed
of motor cars and need no exhibitions
upon the public streets. Observe
strictly the rules of the road
