Find Bottle After Three Years

Three years ago Dr. Samuel Long, with Mrs. C. A. Downey, son and daugh- ter, were visiting at McCall's Ferry. While there the boy wrote the address of his mother on a slip of paper, in- closed it in quinine vial, and pitched it in the river, thinking that it would float on and find its way into the bay and out into the ocean.
 They were surprised a few days ago to pick up the little bottle containing the mothers address after three years three miles further down the river. It had become lodged in cleft of rock. The supposition is that the pine cork which was used to cork it became sat urated with water and sunk it. In this way. it was held fast.
 When the Mccall s Ferry Power com pany started to build it's eoffer dam, 1t drained the river, and when the Down eys visited the vicinity, the sister of the boy who had deposited the bottle in the water discovered the little vial. In opening it she found the address to be in perfect condition.-York, Pa, dis patch to the New York Times.

DISCOVERED AT LAST

Eat peanuts and let the beef trust go tO-the wall. In an official bulletin prepared for the United States govern ment by Professor Jaffa of the Univer- sity of California, tidings are brought that ten cents worth of peanuts contain more than twice the protein and more than six times the amount of energy stored in porterhouse steak. In the past the humble little peanut has not been without value to man. It has provided exercise for his jaws at cir cuses, ball games and county fairs. It has been a still more frequent accom- paniment to the pleasures and pastimes of Young America, by whom, indeed, it has always been held in high favor and esteem. Adults, on the other hand, have affected to despise the peanut, holding 1t as a synonym for the small and insignificant, The peanut vendor the world over is a theme for mirth and ridicule, and no man who ever patron. izes him can resist the temptation to satirize both him and his stock of mer- ehandise.
 But, sure of it's intrinsic merit the humble peanut has bided it's time, pa tiently waiting for ultimate vindication and triumph. That time has come. Professor Jaffa after exhaustive studies, carried on with squad of peanut con sumers at Berkeley, has scientifically

CANANEA WOMAN
 FATALLY STABBED
Found Dying in Alley Friday Night and Is Unable to Identify Two Men
 Arrested on Suspicion of Having Committed Crime-One Bloodstained.

CANANEA, Mexico, August IT, Elenita Garcia was stabbed to death last. might in an alley in the red light district of the city. Her screams at tracted the attention of officers, who gave pursuit to two men who were seen running down an alley. Both these men were overhauled and placed under ar rest.
 The woman died before regaining consciousness sufficiently to recognize the identity of the men. Whether they were the murderers or not is in doubt, though the circumstantial evidence is against them. On the sleeve of one of the men was found considerable blood which is believed to have spurted there from one of the three wounds which were inflicted in the body of the wo- woman. However, the man whom he was arrested with has an ugly cut in the forehead from which the blood may have come.
 A theory advanced is that the men were fighting in the alley and that the woman attempted to interfere, when in the darkness which prevailed she was stabbed by mistake by the man who had the knife. The latter has not been found. Neither of the men will talk, both having so far resisted all efforts of the police authorities to elicit any manner of information from them further than they were fighting, heard the woman scream and ran, knowing that her screams would attract atten- tion. This may be the truth, as in the darkness of the alley and their own occupation in the battle they were wag ing they might not have known they were dealing death to another. It is however, considered extremely doubt ful. The woman was about 9 years of age. Her funeral occurred today following the usual processes of police examination.
