Murdered and Robbed.

CAMDEN, October Sat 925 tonight
Robert Mcdowell, grocer and good cit.
izen of this city, was found in DeKalb
street, dead from a wound inflicted by q
bludgeon. His money and his keys were
gone and his mercantile books were by
Ills side. BE was carrying them home to
post when set upon by the assassin and
robber.
The body was found by his 15-year-old
son, lying two feet from a great pine tree
near Hampton Park, on DeKalb street,
Immediately opposite grove. The blow
had struck him across his right temple
and the right side of his face, evidently
causing instant death, and the assassin
evidently had concealed himself behind
the great tree.
Mrs. Mcdowell, thinking her husband
was uncommonly late, sent their little
boy to meet his father and he discovered
the body, but did not recognize it. He
went to the house of Louis Black, nearby
and telephoned for help. Drs. Burnette
and Brasington came at once, but could
do nothing. The man was dead.
Police officers are now guarding the
scene and permit no one to approach
close. Messengers have been sent to the
State farm for bloodhounds. Considera
able excitement prevails here, but there
are no threats.
As vet no clue has been found. Tht
amount of money that Mr.. Mcdowell hac
on his person is not known.

The audience was large one, but there
was no reply.
"What is this?" said the conjurer

Then, after moment of silence, dig

Stranger, would a quart flask do as

Thereupon, as one man, the audience

Hit Them Both at Once.

A good instance of double reprool
occurred in a Scottish church. A LAD
named Merryweather was very inatten-
tive during q service greatly to the annoy
ance of the minister. His father always
composed himself for a nap directly the
sermon was well under way, so that the
boy could do as he liked without parental
reproof. The minister could stand it no
longer one Sunday, 80 he stopped sudden
" in his sermon and said: "John Merri-
weather if you continue to act in such an
unseemly manner during divine worship I
shall tell your father. / should tell him
now, but he happens to be asleep" From
that day Merryweather senior and junior
were model listeners.

DON'T REALIZE ITS FOOD VALUE.
FARMERS FAIL TO APPRECIATE
WORTH OF BEET PULP
FOR CATTLE.
so SAYS GEN. MGR. KOHN
SUGAR COMPANY CAN SELL IT
ALL, BUT PREFERS GIVING
1T TO FARMERS.

From the Lansing Republican
| That the farmers in the vicinity OF
Lansing do not realize what an oppor-
tunity they have to secure an excellent
food for their cattle with very little ex.
pense, is the opinion OF General Man
ager j. E. Kohn of the Owosso Sugar
Co.
The beet pulp, according to Mr..
Kohn, is fine as foodstuff, and his
company has offered 1t to the farmers
gratis since the factory was started
here. But the agriculturists have not
cared to cart away the pulp and it has
accumulated In large, offensive pile
just south Of the factory, where it has
not only proved to be an eyesore to per-
sons passing, but also has been .
menace to the public health. One more
chance will be given the farmers this
year and the company desires them to
take all of the pulp.
Things will be somewhat different,
however. Snyder e. Zabst, contract
ing firm from Bellevue, o., have agreed
to purchase all the pulp from both the
Lansing and Owosso factories at fair
price. eve have about 10000 tons of
pulp at the local factory and 60, 200 tons
at the Owosso factory this year." said
Mr.. Kohn this morning. This Ohio
firm after paying us for it here, goes to
the expense of loading it on the cars,
pays $3.50 per ton to transport 1t to
Cincinnati, where it is sold to the Ohio
farmers at fair profit. If they can
afford to do this it seems as though the
Michigan farmers should awake to a
realization that they are permitting a
great opportunity to get something for
nothing pass through their fingers. If
we had only started out by charging
the farmers, say so cents ton for the
pulp, we would have had them all jump
ing for the chance to buy it, But as it
is we made mistake and there is no
market for it.
We are willing that the farmers who
have contracts with us to furnish beets
shall have this pulp gratis. But we
have got to get rid of the stuff, so we
made an agreement with the Ohio COM
pany to take all that is left. We are
here to help the farmers and we desire
to have the farmers help U.S. We
would rather give every ton of this to
the farmers this year than sell it into
Ohio. Next year it may be different"
MIR. Kohn stated that they were con-
templating the institution in both the
Owosso and Lansing factories of new
process for drying the pulp. The plan
has not been perfected, but as soon as
it is and is in working order the COM
pany will realize good profit out of
the pulp.

Pulp Feeding Is Popular.

Professor Carlyle, of the Colorado
agricultural experiment station, is just
issuing bulletin on the results of the
beet pulp feeding experiments last win
ter which will create even a greater de-
mand for the beet pulp Several spec
ulators who have discovered the value
of the beet pulp as a feeding ration
have made attemps to make contracts
with the various factories for their
whole output of pulp, but the factories
have decided that the beet growers
shall have the first right to buy the
pulp, the idea being that the farmers
should feed the pulp in order to secure
the manure for their lands.
Several of the factories report that
they already have application for twice
the amount of pulp they will have to
sell, and there is no danger but that
every pound of the pulp will find q
ready sale.
The beet pulp does not average in
cost over 80 cents per ton and the
bulletin just issued will show that il
possesses feeding value of fully $500
per ton when compared with corn at 6
cent per pound. Colorado feed lots will
be loaded with cattle and sheep as new
er before this coming winter, and the
outlook is decidedly favorable for good
profits.

The Hurried Life.

In The Record-Heralds Sunday Mag
azine'Health Commissioner Darlington
of New York City discussed in an ex-
ceptionally interesting way the hurry
and strain of American city life.
Statistics of heart disease gave him
the highly significant peg on which to
hang his argument. In one month this
year there were 1875 deaths from heart
disease in New York City, double the
number for the corresponding period
last year. AS compared with condi-
tions thirty years ago, the death rate
from heart disease has increased 800 per
cent, while the general death rate in
proportion to population has steadily
lowered.
Don't worry" is DR., Darlington s
first piece Of advice. If you feel posi-
tive that your circumstances require
worry, then change the circumstances,
or be resigned to injured health and a
shortened life
Don't eat heavy lunch at midday.
You can't do justice to both your diges-
ton and your brain work during the
afternoon.
Rest after dinner Make the evening
a period of preparation for sleep
Take your sleep seriously. Thereby
you can balance your vital account
EVERY day.
AT 45 or 80 begin to "slow up" That
is the only way you can win out'.in
the end
DR.. Darlington quotes with admira
ton the japanese proverb: cat 40
every man is either physician or a
fool meaning thereby that at 40 every
man can either take care of himself or
he cannot, and if he cannot he probably
never will.
Such advice as DIR. Darlington gives
cannot be reiterated too often. His
article is worth saving and rereading
frequently.
