One Kitchen for the Town.

The women of Montclair. New Jersey
suburb of New York, have projected
domestic service corporation for the pur-
pose of doing away with the drudgery of
the kitchen and substituting for it a cen
trail plant. which shall prepare all the
family's food, bring it to the house three
times a day and take away the soiled
dishes. leaving to the housewife only the
pleasant task of adjoining the table as
may suit her fancy. Some of the advan-
tages claimed for this plan are the solu-
ton of the servant problem, the combi-
nation of first-class hotel service with
the comforts and privacy of ones own
home. absolute freedom from the care and
worry of providing for the table and
cost for the highest grade of food prepared
in the very best manner probably not ex-
ceeding that for the average family table.
The corporation may extend its service
so as TO include laundry work. houseclean-
ing, lawn moving and gardening.

NEW YORK.

Freezing weather and snow have hurt
trade and retarded crop preparations and
growth in the Northwest. while low tenn
peratures and heavy rains affect southern
distribution and crop growth and meas
urahly influence distribution in the CEN
tral West and East. Despite the be-
tween-seasons period. and the slowness of
retail trade and collections, there are Few
complaints coming from jobbing and
wholesale lines, except that filling-in or
ders are light and that retail stocks are
reported heavy, One explanation of this
is that jobbers and wholesalers had
very heavy volume of business booked, de-
liveries upon which have been slow. and
the hull has enabled the latter branches
to catch up measurably with demands.
Demands from wholesalers. therefore,
while smaller than some months ago,
have been sufficient to keep all actively
engaged, and crop and trade develop
ments from now on will be closely watch
ed to allow of proper appreciation of
future needs of fall trade.

placed the body in the marsh where it
was found in order to throw the Off
GERS off their trail. The child's body
was found in a pool of water on the
outskirts of a marsh. third of a mile
from the fathers home. by hunter.
The theory Of the officers is that the
lad wandered into the outskirts of the
marsh and was unable to find his way
out, finally dying of cold, hunger and
exhaustion. The water in which his
body was found rose and fell with each
successive rain, and the body may have
been moved many feet by the rising and
falling of the water.
But the theory of the officers is not
accepted by thousands Of people who
interested themselves in the search for
the boy The father will never accept
any such theory, he declares. He still
firmly believes that the child was held
for some time by kidnapers, who be-
came alarmed at the worldwide search
for the child and allowed him to starve
to death, taking the body to the place
where it was found He declares hun

feet of the spot where the body was
found during the search for the missing

tically impossible for them to have

WAR ON WESTERN RANGE.
CattIemen and Shcepmen Struggling
and Much Stock Slaughtered.

War over the public range has broken
out afresh in Wyoming, and is being
famed by a bitter controversy over the
question of leasing the public domain.
Cattlemen are raiding sheep camps, and
sheep men have organized armed forces
and threaten to retaliate. The situation
is more serious than at any time since
the Rustler war in Wyoming, when the
big cattlemen organized to exterminate
rustlers and a pitched battle was fought
in Johnson county.
The bitterness of the war is intensi-
fed by the discussion of the public range
leasing question:. The State of Wyoming
is divided into two camps, as is every
State that has I. great amount of public
domain, and meetings are being held and
the local press is teeming with scathing
articles representing the views of one side
or the other. The big cattle interests
favor leasing the pubic range, while the
sheep men and the ranchers are opposed
to it. Senator Warren and other polit-
ical leaders, who are close to President
Roosevelt, are in favor Of leasing but a
majority is strongly against it. Before
the question is settled in the next Con-
gress there is likely to be trouble-not
only in Wyoming, but in every State in
the West where there is a large amount
of public land. To add to the trouble,
the cattle and sheep men in Colorado
have startfd an open revolt against the
policy of issuing grazing permits on for
est reserves. Cattlemen and sheep men
have refused to renew their permits and
are running their stock on reserves in de-
fiance of Chief Forester Pinchot's declar-
ations that they will be forever barred
from such privileges in the future. The
aockmen are willing to let the courts
test the matter, but in this one instance
the cattle and sheep men are in accord.
In northern Wyoming, however, the
fight over the public range has broken out
into actual war. Several sheep camps
have been raided by masked cattlemen
and about 10000 sheep have been slaugh-
tered, the camp wagons and other out
fits being burned and the herdersl driven
back across dead lines.

in the private chape3 at the palace. The
font used for the christening is one
that has figured at the christening of
Spanish princes and princesses for sew
eral centuries. The nurse for a royal
infant is always chosen from among
the peasant women of the Asturias, who
are noted for their beauty.
According to decree of the Spanish
government, the son born to King AL
fonso and Queen Victoria will bear the
title of Prince of the Asturias. The
principality of the Asturias family was
the mountain refuge of the aboriginal
inhabitants of Spain, who remained
there unconquered by Roman or Moor.
In many respects the Asturias is re-
garded as the cradle of the Spanish
monarchy, hence the pride taken in the
title of Prince of the Asturias.
Queen Victoria, mother of the royal
infant, was married to King Alfonso
in Madrid May 81, 1906, amid scenes
OF the greatest splendor, followed by
the horror of a bomb explosion which
killed scores Of people and narrowly
missed the royal coach in which their
majestles were returning from church.

side of the locomotive and was smashed
almost to kindling wood
The dining car, in which were thirty
two persons eating their MONDAY meal,
leaped into the air and was thrown di-
rectly or top Of the demolished locomo-

was killed. Scores were scalded by
steam escaping from disconnected pipes
in the kitchen of the diner.

ductor read copy of his last order.
