Denies Knowledge OF Crime.

When questioned at Police Head
quarters this morning by Inspector
Boardman and Sheriff White. Besold de-
MED all knowledge of the crime.
According to Sheriff White. BesoId
went 10 his slster-in-law Mrs. McFad-
den, and told her that he wanted her 10
go TO Los Angeles and take charge Of
Ais house. At Seattle he induced Mrs
McFadden TO draw $500 from a bank
The money was in gold, and BesOld
carried the bag. At the hotel he ex-
cused himself and never returned. When
arrested here he had in his possession
about 1868, which Sheriff White saws
would be the logical amount left from
the $500, after taking the trip across the
continent.
The Washington times., 1906-09-27
Wife's Jewelry Was Missing.

Additional evidence was also obtained
against Besold in Belingham. When
he appeared there he had his wife's
watch in his possession. Mrs. BesoId
also had about $3.50 worth of jeweIry,
mainly diamonds. which she carried
with her, and these We're not found on
the body.
The only thing lacking IN the case is
the motive. Horrible as il is. il is be-
lieved that the reason for the murder
was simply that Mrs. BesOld was sick
and probable cause OF expense to her
husband This the evidence is expected
10 prove Mrs. Besold had tuberculosis
of the hone Of the left forearm, and Was
otherwise weak and sickly.

valuable witness in presenting the rail-

the accident their apparent object be
ing 10 leave the rescue work 10 the

he had, adding that he heard Lieuten-

together the answer to the puzzle.
On August II the body Of woman,

THROUGH results recently attained by
the Michigan food and dairy department
produce from this state has been gwen
higher grading in New York and other
eastern markets and better prices are
being paid for Michigan produce than
under the grading heretofore given our
state farm and dairy productions. There
had been some comment on the increased
expense to the state of the work being
done under the auspices of the state dairy
and food commissioner, but the actual
result of the more vigorous and practical
work that department is now doing has
given net gain of many thousand dol
lars to our states producers. 1t is further
true thatin direction in which returns III
dollars and cents are not sought, those
which have to do with preventing the
sale of impure and adultered foods in

present organized has accomplished more
during the past year than was accom-
plished through several years under

we're no less days Of discipline for him
as for his brothers, for IL they must
needs learn the lesson Of true repent
ance, he must come to realize more
fully out of his own experience the in
finite mercy Of God and the certainty
OF Gods purposes. During those days
there came to his heart a revelation
from God Of His purposes for the chill
dren of Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob.
And so, when his brethren at last re-
turned. bringing his own brother Ben
iamin, and he had made himself known
unto them, he could say out OF full
heart:
BE not grieved, nor angry with
yourselves, that We soIu me hither; for
God did send me before you to pre-
serve life. He hath sent me before you
to preserve you a posterity In the
earth, and to save your lives by q
great deliverance. So, 1t was not you
that sent me hither, but God; and He
hath made me lord over all OF Phar-
aoh's house, and a ruler throughout

And with these words he comforted
them, and sent them back, saying:

FOREST INDUSTRIES CONCERNED
Governments, ends Out Question Cards to
Gather Statistics of Forest Products.

Bring to focus the preparatory work
of the past six months, the Forest Ser
vice is sending out question cards to
secure statistics of forest products. The
returns will be worked up into report,
which will give by States, regions, and
species the cut and shipments of lumber,
shingles, laths, cooperage stock, ties,
posts, and poles during the year; the
stock on hand at the close of the year;
and also the amount of wood used in
the various industries for which wood
furnishes the raw material, and the
value of the products. Circular letters
to manufacturers accompany the cards,
explaining their use and object.
The vital importance of accurate Stats
tics of forest products has appealed
forcibly to manufacturers throughout
the country The National Lumber
Manufacturers Association, and sever al
other associations of lumbermen and
wood users, are cooperating with the
Forest Service. During the summer
the utmost pains have been taken to
make the investigation precise and
practical to the last details. The ques-
ton cards which have resulted are clear
and comprehensive, and may be filled
out and returned by the recipients with
very little trouble.
1t is quite plain that the success of
this study now depends upon the careful
assistance of the industries concerned.
In order that the returns may have their
full value to all, each individual CORE
spondent's card is necessary. The re-
turns will be regarded as strictly conf
Dental, and neither the name of the
correspondent nor the location of his
mill will be made public by the Service
A copy IF the report which is to be
published as result of this invesiiga-
ton will be sent to all who fill ont the
question cards and to others interested
in the use of forest products.

THERE were but 1856 business failures
in Michigan for the year just closed as
compared with 24I in the previous year,
and the total liabilities involved last year
were more than million dollars less than
in 1904. And that which was true OF
Michigan in the matter of business I'M
provement was true of almost every state
in the union. Perhaps there is nothing
entirely political in the condition which
make for or against business failures,
but the most intense partisan democrat
would hardly deny that there is some
thing in the individual and national
state of mind produced by republican
policies and republican control which
seems conclusive to industrial advance
ment and helpful to business progress
and prosperity. There is no need to
refer to history or statistics to prove this
is true. The memory of the average Amer
lean voter is all that is needed for its
verifcation.

w,LLloNAlRE.s POOR STOMACH

The worn-out stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as horrible example OF the evils
attendant on the possession Of great
wealth. But millionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with PAD
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestion are rampant among these people
and they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves of a standard medicine like Green's
August Flower. which has been a favor
lite household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over thirty-five years. Aug
ust Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
creating appetite and insuring perfect
digestion. 1t tones and vitalizes the en-
tire system and makes life worth living
