Stock Inspection Commissioners
| Sanitary Order.

Live stock shippers in Eastern
Colorado in the area under quarantine
for cattle scabies, wishing to ship
cattle or sheep from one point in
Colorado TO any other point in
Colorado should, on account of the
cooperation of the State Board of
Stock Inspection Commissioners with
the Government Inspectors, and with
in ten days of the date of their ship
ment, apply to DR.. Lowell Clarke, 800
Quincy Building, Denver, Colorado,
or to the local Government Inspectors,
for a permit allowing the cattle to be
shipped as 'Uninspected Clean
Cattle" in which case they would be
allowed to go to Denver and Pueblo
without inspection, but if destined to
any other point in Colorado must be
inspected by Government Inspector
at loading point.
However, should the b. A. l. In
spector be convinced that the cattle
are part Of diseased herd, such 3
permit would be refused ard the cattle
could only be shipped as ''Unin-
spected Exposed Cattle" and SUBJ
mitted 70 inspection at Denver or
Pueblo where Federal inspection is
maintained.
All shipments of sheep must be in

tinued as heretofore.

Human skin can be prepared, tan.

Ing leather is very much like dogskin

delphia has the largest article which
has ever been known to be made
from human skin-a beautiful pure
white saddle-and any one examing 1t
would be at a loss to tell the kind
of skin from which 1t Is made. The
pores have a familiar look, but the
skin itself is Of an astonishing thick
ness. The saddle was made from the
skin Of man. A woman's skin, gen
orally speaking, would be too delicate.
Human skin leather is very rare
article and there Is no general trade
in 1t. Sometimes a physician will
have a piece, made into a cover for

The A., B.& A. Demonstration.

Through the efforts of E. P.
Searcy, of this city, who is the A.,
B. & A. commercial agent of that
road, made one Of the finest dis
plays at the Demonstration Fair
held all last week in Cordele by the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
The A., B. & A. booth was the
center of attraction during the
whole of the fair. The unique and
pleasing arrangements of beautiful
descriptive paintings taken from
nature, was constantly surrounded
by ardent admirers who were not
slow to express their appreciation
of the artistic effect.
The first to strike the eye was a
group of framed paintings, 25x30,
entitled Harvesting Oats" near
Fitzgerald; Tobacco Industry"
"a Cornfeld" near Montezuma;
"Oglethorpe Hotel" at Brunswick;
'ELogging or Lumber Industry"
near Kingwood; "Little Satilla, ="
between Fitzgerald and Brunswick;
'EPeach Industry" near Byron,
Vile; "Cotton Picking" near
Moultrie.
On the right of the booth was q
large photo of the piers of the A.,
B. & B. Brunswick Steamship Co.
at New York,
Among others worthy Of more
than passing notice were groups
of pictures such as "Choice of
Three Routes; an Atlanta coach
picture, 'shell Road Drive" at
Brunswick; "a Beautiful Home"
on the line of the A., B. & A.;
zone Route" Atlanta, a coach
picture.
Announcement opening of the
Oglethorpe Hotel at Brunswick.
Wall pockets, 12x15, were kept
filled with with A., B & A. fold
ers, which were quickly appropria-
ted by visitors to the Fair.
One hundred sets of illustrated
souvenir cards were On sale and the
money placed in the treasury Of
the Daughters. !.
The presiding genius at this
booth was Mrs. G. Fl. Watson,
assisted by the Misses Ethel Hall
and Bonnie Little, all of Cordele.
The A., B. & A. took this space
at the Fair with the sole object of
helping the ladies in their under
taking, but found it reacting to
their benefit like "bread cast upon
the waters" The only thing
needed to round out the complete
ness of the picture was a photo of
Fitzgerald's orange trees loaded
with the golden fruit, a photo OF
which we could have supplied.

SPECIAL Correspondence to IRE Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 27-New York
has rarely matched the tragedy
wherein Gustave Wasser, after MUIR
dering his wife, was shot to death
by his daughter, Mrs. Madeline
Langlotz, a young widow.
And her reasons for killing him
were SO strong that the coroner,
the police and the district attorney
worked together to relieve her from
any criminal charge as a result of
the shooting. The coroner's jury
even refused to have her name con-
nected with the crime.
The verdict was: "Gastave Was
ser came to his death by bullet
wound inflicted by gun in the
hand of person or persons to us
unknown"
The cause of it? Whiskey. 1t
had made beast of a man and life
hell for his family. For years he
, had beaten and abused them all.
Broken by whiskey he hid required
them to furnish him money from
their. scanty earnings for more
drink
But the contributions did not
cause him to reduce in the slightest
degree his brutal treatment. On
many night they, were driven
from home. They moved 10 times
in few months to escape him, but
he found them out. They paid him
81 day to leave them unmolested,
but he remained away only while
his money lasted.
Then one morning he came uppn
them while they were at breakfaH
He came, revolver in hand, and
with sneering epithet fired a.
bullet into his wife, Mrs. Langlotz
tried to shield her mother and was
also made target. She got hold
of revolver and duel at close
