Our bank will soon be in shape to 60 to

What will be the chance another year

Mr.. NJ. W. Rentz came near getting his

luxuries. ....
Potato digging is in order, and farmers
will be busy this week at such work and
putting up seed cane. The sugar cane
crop will be short as general thing.
Will be tedious to work with this year.
Short cane means short syrup also.
Col. Folk came very near losing his gin

done.

B. B. HUGHES WAS INSANE.
The Verdict of Jury Holding his Estate Liable
for Value Of the House Which he Burned.

TOT value OF tHe iiousS "hSh hS oo'"So'
EDGEF1E1D, October 21.-The case of
Asbill against the estate of B. B. Hughes,
the only case of the kind ever litigated in
the State, terminated today in a verdict
for the plaintiff in the sum of $3.50. The
main questions in the action were wheth'
er or not Nh. Hughes, in fit Of insanity,
exterrninated his family, set fire to the
house and then committed suicide9 The
verdict of the jury answers these questions
afirmatively.
The public will recall the fearful trag-
edy enacted at Trenton about a year ago.
Mr.. Hughes and family occupied the
house as tenants of Asbill, to whom the
property belonged.
The suit was to recover the value of the
residence, it being alleged that Mr..
Hughes destroyed the same by wilfully
setting fire thereto.
1t was contended by plaintiffs that the
taking of his and his family's lives was
superinduced by financial troubles. A
witness testified that at o'clock of the
day of the tragedy Mr.. Hughes said to him:
81 am financially very much troubled, and
the easiest way to get out of such things
is to take pistol and shoot out of it."
Some fifteen of the deceased's friends
testified that he was in good financial
condition, and gave no evidence of being
gloomy and respondent.
The conditions surrounding the bodies
the morning after the fire were minutely
described, and they pointed unerringly to
the fact of Mr.. Hughes being the author
of the horrible affair.
The story as told by the witnesses was
gruesome and narrowed the feelings Of
all who heard it. It had been better had
the case not have been allowed to reach
a trial.

How does the blood circulate in the
tail of the tadpole?"
This is question given to the pu-
pills of the Morris high school in New
York City, by the principal, John H.
Denbagh.
Now here's man that's goin' aft
er EN- right. He's hitting the spot
If there is any one thing now before
the public that needs serious consider
alton, reflection. meditation and inves-
tigation, it is this very problem:
How does the blood circulate in a
tadpole's tail?"
1t is matter of great and serious
moment and vast and enormous con-
sequences. The professor should have
help in matter of such magnitude.
He has got "on' at an opportune mo-
ment. however
This is a time of reform. revision
and investigation. Right now, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, both houses of con-
gress, the railroad officials and all
their attorneys are apparently vainly
figuring on railroad rate legislation,
trying to make satisfactory price for
carrying the great crops to market,
and it's an even bet that not one in
the whole crowd knows anything
about how the blood goes bounding
through the veins in tadpole's tail.
But if they were possessed of this val
liable knowledge it would no doubt en-
able them to, in five minutes, adjust
the freight rates in way that would
suit everybody.
This is a proposition that goes fur
Their than may appear to you at first
glance-it knocks into a cooked hat
all those old time worn problems such
as
why did the old COW cross the
road?' and (Which is the mother of
the chicken, the hen that laid the egg
or the hen that Matched it?"
It's kind of innovation, don't you
see.
Now, there's Thomas A. Edison and
is reasonably good will dispute the
statement that they are there" when
it comes to doing stunts in electricity
but it is two to one that they couldn't
give you one watt Of information about
the red blood throbbing through the
pedal extremity of frog-thatis-to-be
and if asked about it they would have
to go way back and sit down.
| This might be taken up along with
the insurance investigation. Maybe
the McCurdys or McCalls or Hydes
could tell what influence the circula
ton of blood in a tadpole's tail has
has had or in all reasonable probabili
ty, might have on the life insurance
situation.
In defending the tadpole study the
principal says: '"The material value Of
most knowledge lies not in itself, but
