so bushels up to 100 bushels and may
be attached to any farm wagon or
can be purchased mounted. The COM
plete spreader is preferable to one
to be used on the farm wagon, as
they have wide tired wheels and small
wheels in front, enabling one to turn
at right angles and are stronger, more
durable and better in every way. Then,
too, a farmer wants such a machine
ready for use at any and all times,
so that he has only to hitch to it.
and go ahead. There is no machine
used on the farm that will give great
er returns than a manure spreader
Such a machine will pay for itself in
a short time in labor saved, to say
nothing about the direct benefits de-
rived through proper application of
the fertility of the farm.

Frozen apples are usually given up
as lost This is about true of the
more tender sorts, but the hardy vari-
cites may often be thawed out, with
very little or no injury. After the
apples are frozen, cover well with
straw or other material, so that the
thawing process will be slow and
open up in favorable weather, and not
too soon, and the results may be bet
ter than expected. Frozen apples must
be handled very carefully.

Suicide by Drowning.

neapolis-Desponden caused ].
F. Gartner to make all arrangements
for his own funeral and then take his
own life in Lake of the Isles, where
his dead body was found by workmen.
The body was found shortly before
noon by men engaged on boulevard
work. between Twenty-fifth and Twen-
ty-siXth street, and was at once re-
moved to the county morgue, where
it was positively identified as that Of
Gartner.
Gartner, who was abou. 70 years
Old went to Hume & Davis, UNDER
takers, a week ago and arranged for
his funeral. He told where he was
to be buried and selected his casket.
saying that he would probably die in
a few days. Accustomed to queer re-
quests, the undertakers paid little at
tention to the matter.
Gartner lived with his daughter,
Mrs. Charles Lampe, at Grove place.
and was experimenting the erection of
dwelling for his son-in-law, w. c..
Leber, at Lake Of the Isles. He did
not appear at the house as usual a
week ago and the police were asked
to search for him.

man on an extra freight train on the
Omaha road, while assisting in max

this city, was struck by stationary
car and thrown under a moving car
that he had been clinging to. Conduc-

ran to the PROSTATE and unconscious

A. Fatal Bridge.

st. Paul-With the head crushed
and both arms and both legs shattered
to splinters, the body of an unidentified
man was found lying on the railroad
tracks beneath the south end of the
high" bridge at ST. Paul. From the
clothes it is apparent that the dead
man was a laborer, and all circum-
stances surrounding his death indicate
suicide.
The high bridge which stretches
across the river above the upper flats,
seems to possess a peculiar fascinati On
for those unfortunates who grow t.
think that life is not worth while.
During the bridges existence thirteen
people have jumped or fallen from its
giddy heights. Three men, two who
fell from the railing of the bridge, and
one who sought to end his life, lived
to tell the story. but the other ten met
death either in the rushing waters Of
the river or on the hard ground along
the banks.
At its highest point the high bridge
spans the river at height of $50 feet,
and fall from any section of 1t is al
most certain death. For person
seeking to end his life 1t is eXcellently
adapted, for it is an easy matter to
climb the five-foot iron railing AMI
vault into the river. Twelve victims
Of the bridge have been men and the
thirteenth 4 woman, who was the sec
ond of the list of suicides.

while Burns was whirling by in his

Look at him." he exclaimed. ''He
is as placid and dignified as lord

Burns was leaning back at his ease
in the rear seat of the big tonneau,
Immediately groomed, with a look
of imperturbable boredom on his face.
The lawyers associated with Heney
in the prosecution of Abe Ruef and
Mayor Schmitz were in the room at
the time, and they fell into a discus
sion of the man.
Methodical in Everything.
What interests me most about
Burns is that he never misses a
meal" said Cobb, Heney's partner.
81 never saw him in too much of a
hurry to take his hour for dinner at
the regular time. He is methodical
in everything. 1t is all in a days
work with Burns, and when he turns
in at night he sleeps like top"
"Yet he never procrastinates," put
in District Attorney Langdon. 81

Burns told him it would be better for
his health to surrender himself at
our Office without delay. The man
came at once"
What interests me about Burns
put in j. Dwyer, another of the at
torneys of the graft prosecution, 'is
his personality. He gets the men he
is after to like him. Ruef likes him
now better than any of his own men.
Those two swap stories to each other
until you can't believe Burns is work
ing all the time to land Ruef in San
Quentin prison.
HE can mimic Frenchman, an
Englishman, a Dutchman to perfec-
ton, and the stories he tells sound
like good fiction. / believe it is his
magnetism as much as his persist
ence that wins for him"
His First Important Case.
This is the story of Burns first
important case, as told by himself:
ct was in 1890, in st. Louis. A num-
Der of firebugs had been burning
down houses for insurance money.
They rented these houses; then they
put in velvet carpets, elegant furni-
ture, pianos and so forth, which they
insured. AS soon as they had their

furniture. Then they would light a

Although Burns has this interna-
tional reputation as a detective, it is
hard for his intimates to remember
always that Burns is a detective.
Thus Francis j. Heney, the prosecu-
tor with whom Burns has worked
through the land fraud cases in Ore

cases, finds his associate source of
continual surprise.
