INTERESTING kEETIkG
OF THE KINGS DAUGHTERS

An interesting and moet helpful meet.
ing was held Friday afternoon by the
Kings Daughters, it'll Mrs. A. M. Kit
trell. The most helpful feature of this
meeting was the "minutes'' of the pre-
vious meeting, which Mrs. :. ohm Adams
read, and had prepared. These min
utes' were more of sermonette than
mere report, and every woman in the
city who is interested IN the Kings
Daughters Society, or their great mis-
sion, would be strengthened from read.
ing these minutes At the previous ms ct
ing theIe were nut three present, but
those three faith 'ul we're not TO lose the
benefits of the meeting, and ere the
meeting closed the l. td's prayer was
repeated. 1t was the strong aud beau
tiful comment on the Lords prayer that
brought tears to the eyes of the entire
body Of members present.
A report on the good work OF the
Kings Daughters in behalf of Mr..

taken preparatory TO establishing an

HAS STAY WHILE SOBER.
New York Justice Makes Unique
Ruling for Recorder in Tilt
with Council.

Binghamton, N. Y.-Justice Albert H.
Sewell has granted an order which prob
ably is without precedent. On applica-
ton of attorneys for Recorder Watson
E. Roberts, he granted stay, restrain
ing the common council from hearing
charges preferred against the recorder,
pending an appeal, on condition that the
recorder remain sober until the appeal
is decided by the appellate division and
with the understanding that the stay
will be revoked If the recorder becomes
intoxicated before the case is decided
by the higher court.
The appeal is taken from Justice
Sewell's recent decision dismissing
writ of prohibition to restrain the COM
mon council from hearing the charges
that have been preferred against the
recorder.

MOTORISTS TO OWN ROADS
Powerful Syndicate of Automobiles
Prepare to Spend 100000
on Highway.

London.-There is a possibility that
England at last will follow Americas
example and build special roads for
motor traffic. At the next session 4
bill, backed by powerful syndicate,
will be laid before parliament, seeking
powers to construct a special road
from London to Brighton for the use
of motor vehicles only.
Throughout its entire length the
road would be fenced off to prevent
the trespassing of children, dogs and
unauthorized persons Where it met
an existing highway the new road
would either go under or over 1t, as
the scheme provides nothing in the ma
ture Of a level crossing Special con-
Meeting tracks would also be con-
structed to enable motors to leave or
Join the new road at various points on
the route.
The motor track proper would com
mence at Norbury, eight miles from
London, where the principal dollhouse
would be erected. The estimated cost
Of the thoroughfare is $4,000 ,000 the
tolls on motor cars using it being
looked for as return on this huge
outlay. Cuttings and bridges similar
to those of new railway will have
to be made. Any class of motor vehi-
Gle would be allowed to use the track,
and no speed limit would be enforced,
although reasonable care would be
expected. AS to the width of the road,
there is one scheme for q 40-foot track
divided by fence, and another for
two tracks, each "a feet wide, for up
and down traffic. Richard Hassard,
q wellknown engineer, is in charge
Of the scheme, and Sir Douglas Fox
has consented to act as consulting en-
gineer.

GUINEA FOWL IN DEMAND.
Agricultural Department Says There
Is a Good Market for the Birds
in the United States.

WashlEgton.-In a bulletin lust is
sued the department CT agriculture an
nounces a growing market for guinea
toWi as table birds, and suggests that
| they might well be bred In the United
states more extensively, either with
other poultry or in larger numbers by
| themselves.
Tue birds do well with compare
lively little care" the report says. I'm
spite OF the half-wild habits which
they retain when allowed to range.
they may be trained to more domestic
ways and readily fed and fattened like
other poultry They are exceptionally
hardy. Their noisy and quarrelsome
habits are commonly thought to give
warning of hawks or other intruders in
the poultry yard. Guireas eat such
large numbers of insects that they are
often useful in helping to destroy
these pests. They also eat many wild
seeds, and in this way are of value.
There is already a fair demand for
guinea fowl, especially in New York
and other cities in the eastern United
States. Very young birds for broilers
bring good prices early in the season
in city markets, while the older ones
are easily sold throughout the autumn
and winter. They may be prepared for
the table like ordinary fowl or like
game birds, have very much the same
food value as chicken and are as eco
nomical when bought about the same
price per pound. At moderate prices
they furnish the body with about as
much nourishment for given sum as
medium cuts of beef and mutton, and
at higher prices correspond in value
with the more expensive cuts and such
poultry as turkey. green goose. etc.
Guinea eggs are also considered choice
eating"

BADLUCK MARKSLIFE
ONCE RICH, MINNEAPOLIS MAN
rs NOW A "VAG."
Well-Known Spectator Returns to
Native City and Is Arrested
Accused Of Mothers Muir
der at One Time.

Minneapolis, Mimi. d. Elias. Al
one time accused of being the author
of startling tragedy in this city, has
returned to Minneapolis after a Ions
absence and was arraigned in police
/ court on charge of vagrancy.
From broadcloth and diamonds to
rags is the route trayersed by Elias
since the burning of his mother and
sister in the terrible fire in Nicolett
avenue ten years ago.
At that time -e was a prominent fig
ure In Minneapolis. Although consid-
cred by most persons slightly dement,
ed, he always had phenomenal luck on
the stock market and often his daily
winnings went up into the thousands.
His money went as easily as it came,
and Elias and his fine clothes and jew
els were conspicuous on the street
But the once prosperous Spectator
made sorry figure.
The bad luck in this case was the
fatal fire and the charge of murder
later brought against him by the po-
lice. The tragedy which ruined his life
occurred early on the morning of June
1, 1895, while his mother and sister
we're in their apartments alone.
A fire suddenly broke out in the
building and the mother and daughter
were cremated. The mother was locked
in the bathroom at the time and the
cry IT murder was Immediately raised
The young man was not at home
that night and did not appear unti'
late in the afternoon following the
murder. Suspicion was directed
against him and he was arrested.
The following day. however, the cor
oner's jury learned that Mrs. Ellis had
been gradually losing her mind and
that she had threatened to commit sli-
eide In this way. Tho young man was
freed from all blame, was released by
the police, and disappeared.

THE GROWTH
OF A YEAR,

| Those who have the interest of the
city at heart will doubtless be inter
ested in the following statements re
garding the great improvements made
during the last year in the way Of
new building, new enterprises and
new businesses:
In Park Place there have been com
pleted and occupied within the last
| twelve months eight new cottages and
| residences, costing in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. In other parts of
the city and within it's corporate linn
it's there have been erected two hand
some residences with artificial heat
ing arrangements and a number of
small cottages at cost of over $12,-
100000, to say nothing of the money
spent in repairing fire-damaged build
ings, the amount of which will not
fall short of 100000.
We point, with pride, to the compile
ton of two first-class Touring mills
of the very latest improved type. Con-
nected with each, of which is large
steel tank elevator, these being the
first of the kind to be erected in the
State. These mills are turning out
products of very fine character.
There have been erected by the col
ored population two business houses,
besides some improvements in those
already erected, and a few small Of
fees and shops.
Two new business houses on the
Public Square, one of brick and the
other of galvanized iron, both of them
now occupied, mark the improve
ments on the square.
A fertilizer mixing plant and the
present erection of a $50,000.00 fertil-
izer factory constitute the principal
improvements in this line of bust
ness.
There are four more dry goods
stores up town than there were at
the close of 1904; also two grocery
stores and an additional jewelry
store. There was organized during
the year one lumber company, giving
us two of the kind and few phos-
plate companies also
The work accomplished by the city
in the Improvement of the streets,
pavements, water works, ETC., is
very gratifying to all citizens of the
community. We also note with
pleasure that unlike the condition of
a year ago, the city is provided with |
brick pavements from end to end and
from side to side at cost of several |
hundred dollars, and the streets are
very greatly improved.
