Mrs. Lucy Kelly, Howard Rhoads,
aged % years, former Marion boy
took his life at Columbus, Mon
day night. Rhoads, who is a paint
er, is well known an Marion, where
he lived with his parents several
years ago. Following is the story
of the tragedy as it appeared in
the Ohio State journal, TueSda
morning:
"You wouldn't give him up in
life, but You will have to in
death. "
This was the greeting Of Mrs.
Luek Kelly of the Alberta apart
ment house, High and Spruce
streets, late last night 10 w. s.
Rhoads of 1915 North High street
aS she pointed to the dead body Of
his son, Howard Rhodes, who be-
cause of infatuation for her, had
committed suicide by taking ear
bolic acid in her apartment at II
o clock.
Rhoads was % years old, and
lived at 80 Fifth avenue. He is
said to have been infatuated with
Mrs. Kelly since last spring, at
which time he boarded with her
and her husband, who are alleged
Ito have become eStranged, and
ito have separated because Of the
yonth.
Rhoads, who was a painter, work
ed with his father and in the even
ling went to the apartments Of the
woman who had been living at the
address given only n week. There
in the presence of the woman and
her sister, Flora Httrell, he took
the acid, though they struggled to
prevent the act. with the result
that the sister was burned. She
carried the news of the snicide to
the youths father telling him
! Howard was dead. hut had not
been killed. The parent. recogniz-
ing the odor of the acid. respond
ed eyes, l know; he took carbolic
acid. "
The father was aware Of the
sons fondness for the woman, and
several days ago, when he want
ed money in order that he might
leave the city with her, the request
was refused.
Young Rhoads had Scribbled a
few words in a note book, bidding
goodbye to Mrs. Kelly, saying he
would cause her and her husband
no more trouble, and asking that
"a few flowers be placed on his
grave.
DR.. ]. A. Riebel Of Park and
Spruce streets was called to at
tend the dying man, but the latter
was past human aid when he reach
ed him.
Several years ago Rhoads lived
in Marion. His mother is dead,
and for some time he had not been
living at home. Two sisters Ola
and Cora, survive, with the father
and stepmother.
The elder Rhoads when he reach
ed the side Of his son was con-
fronted by the unwitting cause OF
the tragedy. She confessed her cul-
pability in the act. and in agony
of mind tried to throw herself across
the dead body. tt was then, she
declared to the father:
"You wouldn't give him up in
life, but You will have to in death"
At midnight the body was re-
moved to the Fisher morgue to be
prepared for burial.

DECORATING with Flowers,

When decorations are very extern.
sive, the b~rac-a-brac is sometimes en-.
tirely removed. 1t depends largely
upon the character of the bric-a-brac
whether this is necessary. Surely
enough must be removed to prevent
an impression Of crowding when the
flowers are added. Very frequently.
however, some of the bric-a-brac can
be used with the floral decorations to
obtain an artistic effect. Pieces of
brass and copper are very effective
used against green foliage and in
Frightening up dark rne Brass
candlesticks with burning candles are
a wonderful addition. Candle light is
the most artistic light possible. and
will enhance all the beauties of the
decorations. Masses of holly with it's
brilliant red berries. red candles in
brass candlesticks. and the only light
that of the candles. and of an open
wood fire, and we have a never-to-be-
forgotten background for Christmas
mysteries and festivities.-Harper's

SCIENCE OF TOWN KILLING.
Unwise Booming and Maintaining Elk.
orbitant Prices an Effective Way.

There is a county seat town in one
Is population of about 5000. II is sur
rounded by one of the richest farming
countries. For years this town has
been at & standstill. If anything 1t
is r~etrograding, and even farm values
near it are lowering. while poorer land
some 20 miles away is advancing.
Why should such a condition exist?
The answer is plain. A dozen year
ago there was a boom. With the boom
real estate went to the top notch.
Keeping pace with the boom the
prices of products in that town went
up. There was a collapse in real es-
tate values, but the merchants re-
manned. and kept up the high-nrice
habit. That is they wanted more than
an equitable share of profit. Another
town was started 30 miles away. Some
of the farmers went there. 1t was
found that the merchants were selling
goods at a lower price. The stock
buyer and the grainbuyer paid a few
cents a hundred more for their pur-
chases. The habit of trading at the
new town grew. The business men OF
the old town couldn't learn a lesson.
Before they knew it their customers
we're leaving them. So it has been
since then. The merchants have been
plodding along. The money that
should be retained in the town went
elsewhere. Much of it went to build
up the competing town.
Mistakes like this one are made
frequently. Towns become dead
places instead of live ones. In fact,
some towns are SO dead that the farm
ers who withdrew their trade from
them are suffering in decreased farm
values. They take no interest in
these places, other than to visit them
now and then. Unhealthy booms, un-
healthy prices made by the merchants,
and which are foolishly maintained,
are quite certain to kill a town even
though it may be a county seat and
have some advantages nearby towns
may not have.

AGAINST PREMIUM GRAFT.
Laws Passed by Some States Prohibit
ing Prizes in Packages of Foodstuffs.

Some classes of people when they
wish to purchase goods, look more aft
er so-called bargains than quality, and
quite often the bargains prove exper-
sive. 1t seems that the getting of
something for nothing is attractive to
the average person. OF late years
there has grown up a practice among
manufacturers of staple articles, par
ticularly in the food line, Of giving a
prize with each package of their goods
It Is apparent that there is an inclina-
ton towards gambling in the make
up of most people, and this spirit is
appealed to largely by the giver of
prizes. The purchaser seem to oyer-
look the fact that he receives nothing
other than he pays for. Whatever ar
ticle is given as a premium represents
so much money value and certainly
the manufacturer does not lose by
the operation. The value of what is
given must be made up by either the
retailer.or the consumer, and it is gen.
orally the who pays the
cost.
Retail grocers, as we'll as the peo-
pie in general, have to be thank
full to the lawmakers of some, states
for making it illegal to place premiums
in packages of focdstuffs. Such a law
is now in force in the state of Nebras-
ka. Premium and Prize giving has
been a aus of trouble and disturb
ance, and has resulted in the making
of inferior goods, palming off their
poor productions, relying more upon
the prize given to secure trade than
the merit of goods. The wise house.
wife in whatever state she may live
will be careful to discriminate between
quality, and quality backed up by
prizes. 1t is well when you buy arti-
cles in the food line to avoid buying
anything which las a prize attach
ment. You are compelled to not alone
pay for the goods that you require. but
the prize as well.

WEALTH CONCENTRATION EVIL
Operation Of Injurious Trusts Can Be
curtailed by Efforts OF the
Masses.

An evil that at present is receiving
ore than ordinary attention In the
press is the concentration of vast
amounts of money in the hands Of
corporations. The accumulation of
wealth by individuals when controlled
by natural law. will inevitably become
divided. The millionaire who has a
family. at his death will apportion to
each member a share Of his wealth.
Even though these divisions may be
increased by work and by speculation
and investment by the children. they
In return will divide the accumula-
tons among their offspring and even
tually. 1t matters not how great the
fortunes. of any n Of the family
may become. it is only a matter of
time until there is a scattering of the
money. and a great portion of it will
pass from the members of the family.
On the other hand, corporation meth
DDS mean the building Of a system
that prevents the operation of the
natural law. In other words corpora.
tons are machines that work con
tinuously, and when M part is brok.
en- 1t is replaced by a new one Thus
the accumulation goes on. The death
of Rockefeller will not result in a
discontinuance of the Standard Oil
company; the death of the present
stockholders of any Of the large trust
companies, banks or insurance COM
panies will make little difference in
their existence. All will go ahead.
The safeguards Of corporations in
many cases are excellent. But the
inclination to control trade by the
crushing out of smaller concerns and
the destruction of legitimate compe-
tition and the controlling Of prices,
seems against public policy. All
classes are compelled to pay prices
dictated by these trusts for the goods
produced. Each year finds new COM
b%inations to control trade. 1t is the
Capitalization of capital that makes
such operations possible. The person
who assists in concentrating money in
arge financial centers does his part
toward helping along such combines.
IL is only by individual action on the
part of every small producer and lab
orer in the country that conditions
a be changed Stand by every home
industry and do your part toward
keeping money in circulation at home,
and thus bring about conditions that
will make the operations of trusts and
combinations impossible.

Support Home Newspapers.

The country newspaper is a power
in the land. It's place can never be
filled by the big daily papers or the
bulky magazines or agricultural jour
mails. 1t fills a field entirely it's own.
1t is the barometer of the place in
which it is published. Its news pages
represent the life of the people, and
it's advertising pages should reflect
the business activity Of the town. It
is the duty Of every good citizen to
give his support to the local press.
Particularly the business men should
patronize it with a view of lettering
his trade. 1t is not money wasted to
use advertising space in it. One good
merchant in the town who under.
stands how to advertise rightly, can
bring trade to the town that will help
every other business man in it. But
all should do their part. and the store
keeper who does not give his home
paper the support it merits is not the
wisest kind of a business man.
