A HEINOUs CRIME

Monday Sheriff Atkinson Of Penn

now, at the age Of 10, the girl is about
to become a mother a second time
and is now confined in a hospital at
Winnipeg. .SS
For years, by threats Of personal
violence, Flint had frightened his
wife, who admits knowledge Of the
conditions that prevailed, into silence.
until, unable to stand the strain any
longer, she recently confided in a
neighbor, with the result that Flint
was Immediately arrested, He did
not stand trial, but, as above stated,

DETAILS OF MURDER
VALLEY CITY POLICEMAN WAS
SHOT T'NlcE--MANY ARRESTS !!
MADE "A
BUT NO MEANS OF IDENTIFYING
THE ACTUALLY GUILTY
-. T." PARTY.

Further details of the murder of
Policeman Personals at Valley City
are that the caboose of the Coopers-
town local freight had been held up
by number of armed and unmasked
men in the yards at that place and
the train crew relieved Of their money
and valuables and the men had taken
refuge on through freight which
was then on its way to Valley City.
Chief Burt was aroused and together
with Officer Personals and Swanson,
and Dan Moore, repaired to the west
end of the yards to meet the train.
It pulled into the yards and the
officers went down the length of the
train, Chief Burt and Officer Swanson
on the north side of the track and
Dan Moore and Officer Personals on
the south side. They routed the men
out of the car indicated by the train
crew as the one in which the desper-
ADDE'S had taken refuge. Moore and
Personius captured man and Burt
and Swanson another. Personals left
Moore holding the arrested man while
he ran down the train to see If he
could pick up another suspect. He
proceeded about the length Of two
box cars when four shots were fred
in rapid succession. The other mem
bers Of the party hurried to the scene
of the shooting, only to find the un-
fortunate man weltering in his own
blood and unconscious, says the Val
ley City Times-Record.
while four shots were fred, only
two took effect. The first. bullet,
probably 32-calibre, took effect in his
mouth. It ranged upward and lodged
| in his brain. The second bullet en-
tered the body between the collar
bone and the second rib, about half
| way from the neck to the shoulder
on the right side. 1t ranged down

wound would have proved fatal.

GAS USED UNDER LIME KlLNs.
innovation by Connecticut Company
Is a Success.

The New England Lime company,
of Winstead, Conn, asserts that it is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning. The method is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow
ing scarcity of wood fuel led to the
discovery of gas as a substitute for
wood, and the company no longer con
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability of gas
have been demonstrated beyond a
doubt. Had it been impossible to find
a substitute for wood, said a member
of the company, it would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment of the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clinkers and no cinders-and the
lime produced is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro-
duces a more intense heat, and onse-
Quently increases the capacity of the
kilns. The daily output at the COM
pany's kilns is increased from so bar.
rels per kiln to 100 barrels. or a total
of 700 barrels daily.

THE BUTTER BILLS.
Two Ways in Which They Can Be
Materially Decreased.

A thrifty housewife declares that
her butter bills have fallen off one
quarter since she began serving her
butter in the form of butterballs.
Apart from the economy of the thing.
there is no question as to the com
parative daintiness and attractiveness
of serving butter in one wholesale
lump, and in a collection of dainty,
symmetrical balls. Abroad, where
fresh, unsalted butter is served as
a matter of course, it generally comes
on the table in a sequence of little
dabs or a long, shallow roll. People
who have acquired the fresh butter
taste find 1t hard to go back to the
salty product of the American cream
cry, and there is no reason why they
should provided there is some one in
the family with sufficient leisure to
make a little butter two or three
times a week. A quart of double
cream will make nearly a pound OF
butter, and any child with strength
enough to use a rotary beaten can
do the rest.

FRUIT INSTEAD or DRUGS.
Remedial Qualities May Be Preserved
by Home Manufacture.

The remedial properties of berries.
all of which are of great value in diff
ferent diseases, may be preserved
through the home manufacture Of cor
dials, shrubs, vinegars, etc., and by
drying, in which state they are to
be stepped, strained, and the water
used as needed. Cherries, greengage
plums, peaches and apricots share in
this value with the berries. Grapes
are second only to figs for use in dis
orders which arise from a torpid or
c~ongested state Of the intestines.
Health depends so largely upon the
regularity of the functions of the
bowels that attention to them is Of
the utmost Importance. An excellent
fig preparation is an effusion by steep
ing n ounce of SIENNA in a pint Of
boiling water; select one pound of
plump, dried figs, and. having placed
them in a layer in an earthen dish,
pour over them the well-steeped and
strained tea. Place this in
a moderate oven, and allow them to
remain until the fruit has entirely
absorbed the liquid. Put this in a
closed jar, and for use, one fig eaten
on retiring is a dose for any or.
binary case of constipation. Pine.
apple, while of especial worth in some
diseases when taken with other food,
should be eaten alone, as, fail.
ing anything else to work upon, its
acid attacks the lining of the stomach
itself. 1t is claimed that it has an
especial value in certain forms OF
dyspepsia and in d%iphtheria, as it's
juices will cut away mucus that moth.
ing else can remove.
All fruits, however, do not affect
all persons alike. One should seek
to know what is suitable in his own
case, and not eat fruits merely be-
cause somebody has told him it is
good for him." Owing frequently
to idiosyncrasies, as we'll as to Ger.
tain physical conditions, fruits are
often the worst things one can eat.

Thin People.

Most thin people are thin simply be-
cause they do not get the right things
to eat. They do not get the things
they like. They are peculiar in their
appetites and the family table does
not suffice. Try to eat in Spanish
fashion. Take four meals a day, or
five. Drink the cocoa and chocolate
preparations. Eat all you want of any
food you like that agrees with you.
Before going to bed take a cup of
matted milk. There are several brands
upon the market and you can take the
one you like the best. Cultivate q
taste for the pure sweets, for these are
fattening. Cake chocolate is good~for
you. And of good bread and butter
you can scarcely eat enough. Do not
eat what you do not like. Thin peo'
pie almost always are peculiar in
their tastes, and they either eat a
great deal or nothing at all.

Washington. D. c., August 2oth.-A

Washington, D. c., August 20th.-A
determined effort will be made at the
next session of congress to prevent
another appropriation for the free dis
tribution of common garden seeds.
Congress now expends $242, 900 a year
in giving away the commonest varie-
ties of peas, beans, turnip, squash and
pumpkin seeds. They are divided into
49, 100000 packets so that the packets
cost about half a cent each. But as
a large part of the appropriation Is
expended in clerk hire, packeting the
seed, etc., the actual value of the
seed in a packet is much less than
half a cent. These packets are put
up in packages of five packets, the
total cost Of the packages being about
two cents each, and they are purchas-
able anywhere at five cents. Each
member of congress gets 10000 such
packages, which he distributes to the
voters of his district.
The farmers say that these pack.
ages contain so little seed as to be of
no value to them, while the total APP
preparation, il expended in sending
out really rare and valuable seed. or
In maintaining a national agricultural
college, or divided among the state
agricultural colleges, would be of i'm
mense value to the farming interests.
They therefore protest against the
waste of public money. The seeds
men claim that as congress has al
ready expended s5.O00.0 900 in giving
away turnip and watermelon seed, it
is time it should give away saws, axes
or hoes and give the seed trade a rest.
Those who believe that congress
should cut off this %perquisite of. its
members now used for political pur-
poses, are writing their senators and
representatives, urging them to abol-
ish the free seed distribution, and the
National Grange, many state and local
oranges, horticultural, agricultural
and other societies are adopting reso-
lutions condemning it. Mr.. William
| Wolff Smith, of Washington, d. c.. has
been selected to represent the oppo-
sition to the congressional free seed
distribution, and is personally answer
ing all inquiries concerning the same.
