Must Burn Body TO Get Money.

Mishawaka, Ind, May 10.-Relatives
Of the late Melvin R. Phillips, who was
wealthy resident of this city and
one of the successful gold hunters of
1919, are much worried over a pecu-
liar circumstance which may cause a
contest in Court over the estate of
Phillips. The latter died two weeks
ago, and when his will was opened
relatives were shocked TO have read
to them the demand of the deceased
that his body he cremated, whereas 1t
now rests in the earth. Attorneys de-
clare this failure on their part invali-
dates the will, and it is not unlikely
that the body will be eXhumed and
reduced to ashes in accordance with
the wishes of the rich testator

SPURNED LOVER SENT
AN INTERNAL MACHINE
To Girl, Which Fatally Hurt
Her Mother and Wreck
ed the Home.

Atlanta, Ga, May 10.-The home of
Mrs. Julia McCantry, this city, was
wrecked at IL O'Clock tonight and
Mrs. McCantry fatally wounded by the
explosion of an Internal machine, which
was intended for her handsome daugh.
ter, Miss Kate McCantry. The daugh-
ter escaped, as she was at a theater.
The box containing the deadly ma
chine was brought to the McCantry
home shortly before II o'clock by a
messenger boy. 1t was addressed to
Miss Kate McCantry. The boy said
he had been told to deliver it to Miss
Kate herself. Mrs. McCantry told
he messenger that her daughter was
1t the theater, but took the box,
which looked like one containing can
dy. Mrs. McCantry carried the box
10 the sitting room and dropped it
upon the table. An explosion fol-
lowed that completely wrecked one
side of the house.
When neighbors reached the scene
Mrs. McCantry was found in the de-
bris, fatally wounded, hut conscious.
The box was entirely destroyed.
Miss Kate McCantry arrived from
the theater soon after the explosion
and she declares that the box was
sent by young man who had threat
ened to kill her unless she ceased re-
ceiving attentions from another young
man. Mrs McCantry is a widow and
wealthy. Her daughter is much
sought by young men.

gives virtue to the skin, and this
makes a rheumatic joint as timber as
the eel itself; but l guess there isn't
much in that notion. It's a kind of
magic, you know. But the eelsltn
really does do good, and the way it
does it is this: The eelskin is just
like leather, only not so thick, and
it feels like a piece of tough kid that
has been soaked in oil. Now, if you
wrap the eelskin round your knee
and tie it on, or pin it on, it doesn't
matter which, and it keeps the joint
warm and the oil makes the skin
soft, and after a while your rheuma-
tism is gone. People laugh at the
idea and call it an old woman's no.
ton, but some old woman's notions
are pretty good notions. - Philadel-

The Hancock Clarion says:

That the American people absolute
ly love to be humbugged and court
the opportunity of being faxed is no
doubt. Mr.. p T. Barnum, the famous
Snowman, found this out early in his
career, announced it to the public and
probably made more money taking
people than any man who ever lived
in history. Nor is any section ex-
empt from those who take in the
humbuggery.
Here in Hancock county, in open
civilization, in spite of all warnings,
examples are constantly coming to
light where people only have to be
partly shown, when they are devoted
believers.
Just now there is an excess crop
Of fakirs going the rounds of this To-
cality who desire it understood that
they are detectives, and that they
either represent the Government or
are on some other mission wherein
good sleuth is needed, and they are
one and all the purest and silliest
kind of fakirs, yet, they are not with
out their followers and believers.
The mysterious woman is representing
herself as a Government detective,
and many people are not only weak
enough to take stock in the assertion,
but they stoutly assert that she"
is a man.

gregation IS another individual, whose

he claims to be after) were standing

Virtue in the Eelskin.

"Why don't you get an eelskin?'
said the old vegetable lady," as the
master at one of our largest markets
passed in front of her stand and rub
bed his knee, giving utterance to a
half-smothered exclamation that rhym-
ed with clam, ham and words like
those.
What good would the eelskin do?"
growled the market master.

that an eelskin is the very best thing
you can try for rheumatism? Some
folks think that the eel, being natur

Barber No. 2765, the we'll known
German Coach Stallion, will make
the season of 1907 at $4,000 twenty
dollars to insure a colt to stand up
pand suck, money due when the fact
is ascertained or the mare transferr-
ed. Barber will be found at Hartford
Fair ground on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of each week, Centertown,
KY, on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day.
AS a coach horse, Barber has no
superior in the State, and we think
this is the horse the farmers need, as
it becomes necessary for them to
patronize a large breeder and raise
large stock, for this is what the mar
ket demands, and If you have some
thing that suits the market, you
have no trouble in selling it, Barber
served 70 mares last season and must
make 100 this season.
AS to BARRIERS natural style, size,
action, color, individuality and his
extra gentle and sensible qualities,
which he transmits to his offspring,
and his far superior breeding quail
ties, proof of which is established by
him, being thoroughbred in every re-
spect, We feel safe in saying to one
and all that, all things considered,
we regard him by far the best stall
lion in the State for all classes of
mares.
Barber is a red bay, years old, ex
ira fine set of black legs and splen-
did feet, over 16 hands high, weighs
in medium flesh 1850 pounds, has
good disposition as a family horse and
is as sound as a silver dollar. We
will gladly do business with our old
patrons and hope to have many new
ones with good mares this season.
Ask to see him when in town. Care
taken to prevent accidents, but not
responsible should any occur.
We will on September /, 1908, offer
a premium of $4,000 In gold to the
owners of three of the best colts
sired by Barber 2765, in the season
of 19O7-$25.0O to the first, Is to
the second and $1,000 to the third.

NEW FEATURE ADDED TO STIMULATE SUBSCRIPTION WORK

Above is correct summary of the
candidates and their votes up to
Thursday morning of this week. All
ballots will be preserved so that any
question that might arise may be set
tied beyond question.
We expect to have the con-
test party stop over in Richmond,
Va, which is very interesting city,
because of the important part play
ed there in the history of this
country. Also, on the return trip
we hope to arrange to come from
Norfolk to Washington City by steam
er, stopping en- route at Mt. vern-
on. the home of George Washington
Washington is the city of greatest
interest to every citizen of the Unit
ed States.
From Norfolk there will be side
trips to Virginia Beach and Old
Point Comfort, two of the most
popular bathing resorts on the At
lantic coast. A dip in the ocean
and a view of this great, restless
body OF water is alone worth the
cost of trip.
Don't you think all OF this Is
worth an effort? II you would like
such a trip free Of cost. or IL you
! have friend that you want to have
the benefit of this great opportun-
ity, now is the time to enter the
contest
II is not likely that we shall count
the ballots each week hereafter. At
any rate. We reserve the right to
count them and announce the re-
suit at intervals of two to four
weeks If desired.
