In Fear and Dread,

Mrs. Nissen was taken to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Caverly, who
are occupying the Simpson house, next
door, where she was cared for. The
blow was a severe one to her, although
she had been fearing and dreading
just such a elimination of affairs.
Mr.. Nissen has more than once said
he could find relief in death, and that
he would rather be dead than alive.
1t is believed he had planned on for
mer occasions to kill himself, as he
once made an effort to get at a pistol
kept locked in a dresser drawer and
begged his wife for strychnine or NOR
phine. He had a nice home, an ex-
cellent wife, interesting children and
pleasant surroundings, but the disease
had fastened itself upon him and the
pain was well night unbearable.

earners n women, for investment.

The Barbecue.

One of the quite enjoyable features
of the day was the barbecue prepared
by Charlie Berkenmeyer and served by
his corps of efficient assistants. Great
slices of well baked beef, fresh bread,
tea, coffee and lemonade furnished the
menu, and nearly 1000 people partook
of the spread during the afternoon, the
tired helpers finding no rest until late
in the day. The barbecue was a well
planned and executed feature of the
celebration. The diners included all
classes of people, from the pioneer to
the boy in school, one grizzled veteran
of the plain declaring he served nearly
four years in the army and that Uncle
Sam never gave him a heartier meal.
Baseball in the Afternoon.
The sports in the afternoon included
a baseball game on the diamond south
of the park. in which the Laramie club
played with a club from Hanna, defeat
ing the miners to the tune of three or
four TALES to one, the Laramie boys
making little effort after the first two
or three innings. Mr.. Chase, the new
member of the local team, won the

no indications of a struggle, a little
bench, belonging to the girls in their
play, perhaps, within a few inches of
the mans feet not having been over
turned. None of the other articles in
the room were disturbed.
Body Found by Wife.
Mrs. Nissen and a friend from the
west side had taken the children to
the park. The wife was too uneasy
to remain long, and after half an hour
or so she started home, telling her
friend to keep the children. If she
found everything as 1t should be at
the Fifth street home, she would re-
turn and reJoin the party at the park;
If not, she would o return and the
friend would know that something
kept her. Finding Mr.. Nissen missing
from the lounge and not on his bed in
the bed room, she fastened to the
rear of the yard n there, hanging
in the dim light of the afternoon,
found the rigid body of her husband.
She fastened to the front of the
house, screaming in her agony and
told Engineer Schilling, who was pass
ing, of what had occurred. The latter
rendered what assistance he could,
but the body was not touched until
the arrival of Justice of the Peace
Grant, who cut it down and had it
taken to the house. Later it was re-
moved to Mr.. Stryker's undertaking
rooms by that gentleman. Justice
Grant held an inquest today, the jury
consisting OF Russell Butler, Howard
Ingham and Willis Jensen, whose YER
dict was suicide, in accordance with
the facts as outlined above.

nearly 100 pigs this spring. The cut

DYsPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY.

Most of us have trouble to lend.
Love will find a way, even a way
out.
Fortune doesn't always smile on the
funny man.
Success is doing a thing before some
one else does it.
Marriage is the gateway from ro-
nance to reality.
Fortune never knocks at some doors
because it cant get by the ~janitor.
1t doesn't pay to go entirely on the
theory that things go by contraries.
The woman who dresses better than
her friends will never be popular with
them.
Those who have greatness thrust
upon them seldom know what to do
with it.
The fool and his money are what
keep the rest of us from starving to
death.
Riches have wings. but they are not
the kind of wings that are fashionable
in heaven.
Lots of wives never understand why
their husbands should need any spend
ing money.
Some men are so fond Of sympathy
that they actually glory in being the
under dog.
If a man would only pay his debts
as promptly as his grudges his credit
would be better.
When a girl begins to ask a fellow
about his life insurance, the rest
ought &c be easy.

ANIMAL POINTS.

Poor care degenerates good stock.
Hogs are frequently made sick by
soap in the kitchen slop.
Hog feeds from restaurants and
hotels should be carefully looked over
for soap, glass and other dangerous
things.
We used to think we would not have
a separator as there was so much to
wash, but would not have cows with
out one now.
Keep the colts in a pasture by them
selves. They will run more flesh off
COWS and sheep than you can put on
with the best of feed.
There should be a good stallion In
every locality. Often he would have
to be purchased by a horse breeders
association of local breeders.
TIE heavily padded collar is all right
for heavy drawing in cool or cold
weather, but not the thing for a hot
summers day.
Keep a big lump of rock salt where
the COWS can get at it every day. If
sailed only nee q week they eat too
much at a time causing looseness OF
the bowels. It also retards digestion.

THE FIRST COMPASS.
Was Known to Sailors Before the
Twelfth Century-Indispensablc
Adjunct to Navigation.

Some Asian people, perhaps the Chi
nese, discovered, many centuries, ago,
that a kind of iron ore possessed a very
peculiar quality. We call this ore
magnetic ore, in more common Ian
guage, l~odestone, and it is very widely
distributed, especially in the Older
crystalline rocks. 1t was found that
If a bit of lodestone were placed in
water upon a piece of cork or straw
braid it would turn till the axis of the
stone assumed a north and south posi-
ton. A phenomenon of magnetism had
been discovered by means Of an ore
that is peculiarly susceptible to mag
netic influence.
1t Is an open question whether the
Chinese utilized the directive power OF
the l~odestone. but it is certain that the
first rude compass was not used on
European vessels before the twelfth
century of our era. by that time the
true magnetic compass had been
evolved through the discovery that If
an iron or steel needle were stroked
on a lodestone it would receive the at
tractive and directive power of this
ore. With this wonderful appliance
placed at the service of navigation, the
vessels that had Rugged the coasts soon
dared TO venture even out of sight Of
land. A new impetus was gradually
given to cartography, fer now the true
directions of the coast lines might be
charted with some approach to accu-
racy. 1t was the hapy fortune of Ital-
ian sailors to make the surprisingly ex-
cellent surveys of the directions and
lengths of the Black sea and Mediter-
ranean coasts and along the Atlantic

GRAIN FOR COWS ON GRASS
In Opinion of Prof. Thomas Shaw II
Pays to Use the Grain Ra-
ton in Summer.

Several experiments have been con.
Quoted to test the advantage of feed
ing grain thus. The conclusions
reached were, that the grain fed when
grass was plentiful and while it a
yet ~succulent, did not bring any prof.
II over and above the cost of the
grain. In some instances, as when
grain was fed in large quantities. It
was said that the increase in milk
and butter fat did not pay for the cost
OF the grain. The conclusion has gone
extensively abroad. therefore, that 1t
does not pay to feed cows grain or
meal on grass, when the supply of the
grass is abundant.
am not prepared to accept such
o view, Prof. Shaw goes on to de
clare in presenting his views in the
orange Judd Farmer. 1t seems to me
1t Is a conclusion reached without con
sldering every phase of the question.
If the increased return in milk or but
ter fat pays for the cost Of the grain
and no more, my contention is, that
in the end, such feeding is attended
with profit.
If the grain is thus paid for. one
item OF profit is found in the pasture
saved, It is only reasonable to sup
pose that for every pound of dry mat.
ter consumed in the grain, an equal
amount of dry matter will remain I'M
consumed in the pasture. This would
mean that the carrying power of 2
pasture is increased to the extent Of
the saving effected by feeding grain.
A second item of profit will prob
ably be found in what is termed the
residual effect of the grain feeding.
This has been well brought out by
Prof. Roberts, OF Cornell. Six cows
were selected that had been given a
liberal allowance Of grain on pasture
the previous season, and six were al
so selected that had been grazed in
the same field but without grain. All
were put upon pasture without grain.
The lot grained the preceding summer
produced 16 per cent. more milk than
the other lot. The heifers in this lot
in milk. also, made a better develop
ment than tho heifers in the other.
This result is in accord with the view
OF many practical men on this ques-
ton.
A third item of profit would arise
from the fertilizer obtained from the
grain. Where wheat, bran and cot
tonseed meal were fed, the advantage
would be considerable from this
source. Putting these three items to-
gether, they should represent a sat
~isfactory profit. even when the in
crease in milk production and butter
fat did not more than pay the cost of
the grain.

The opening Of a bank with a cap

aged by grangers, and is designed to
be he first of a series of grange banks,
its opening is very interesting.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-11-28

The Club last night received three new members. Alderman c. B. Coins. c. S. Leach, soliciting freight agent for the Clyde Line. and H. s. Keal- hofer, manager of the Montgomery Freight Bureau.
 The directorate referred to its Com mittee on Immigration and State De- veIopment the question of the establish ment of a German newspaper in Mont gomery. The proposition under consid- eration is that the Club give both moral and monetary support to the newspaper, which would be published, however, by persons other than the members of the Club.
 abatement was received from re- tail merchants that the express service afforded them Is faulty. The general allegation Of frequent delays was sup plemented by the specific complains that the charges on incoming freight are ir- regular and sometimes excessive. The complaint was properly committed for investigation.
 Resolutions to be submitted to the National Board of Trade, when in con- venes in Washington on January 1b, 1907, were considered. Among the ques- tions considered are a better distri- button of migration In the South and the institution of q parcels post by the national government. Upon the latter the Club has not reached 6 consensus and It's answer to the problem will be given only after much debate. In re- gard to immigration it was decided asked to lend his assistance to an ef- fort to divert more immigrants from the West to the South.
 Other matters of minor importance were considered. after which the di- rectors adjourned.
