May Have Sent Children Away.


Some few Brocktonites believe that
because the air had been full of
rumors regarding unhappiness in the
Ball home she really did arrange to
have some one come with red auto
mobile and take her children where
they might be cared for.
But such reasoning does not satisfy
the majority of those who have
worked on the case. The majority
believe that the woman, in horror at
the malady which was slowly creep.

some lonely spot and killed them,

brought on by excessive grief. But as
time cured the wound her mental
equilibrium was restored, and she re-
turned to her home, where apparently
she was devoted to the two remaining
children.

Oil Wells at Sea.

The whale is by no means the only
source of marine oil. Though little
known to fame. the humble menhaden
yields oil and fertilizer worth $1,000
600 year, giving employment to 1900
fishermen and 1000 employees of fifty
factories. The people who are so
probably engaged in slaughtering
7O0O0O,O00 of these fishes every year
naturally claim that they were created
providentially for the express purpose,
since they are not fit for food. and yet
the supply seems inexhaustible. No
one knows whence they come or width
er they go. All we know is that every
spring vast schools of them appear in
the gulf of Mexico, heading north In
closely packed masses, near the surface,
utterly incapable of either defense or
escape. All that is needed is simply
to scoop them up with big seines.--

ST. LOUIS GOLD MINE.
Traces of the Metal Once Found With
in the City Limits.

Traces of the Metal Once Found With
in the City Limits.
st. Louis has never been known as
gold mining center, but there was once
a gold mine within the limits of the
city, and, what is more, it yielded gold,
which is more than great many gold
mines in the Rockies have done.
In the sixties of the last century
there was a well dug on hill just
east of Carondelet park, and the well
diggers. noticing some bright, spar
king yellow particles in the clay at
the bottom, did a little washing ON
their own account and found several
grains of gold In the pan. The news
soon got abroad, and two examiners
from the west who were living In the
neighborhood quickly got the idea that
there was money to be made in st.
Louis gold mining. SO they sank shaft
|tnot far from the well, fully expecting
rich returns from their work. They
did actually find gold, but in quaint
ties so small that they estimated
yield of about Is cents per ton of clay,
so they filed up the hole and gave up
the undertaking in that place as bad
job.
But they had all the miners enthu-
siasm, and the fact that they found
gold at all<merely stimulated their zeal
to try in another place, so they went
to the side of hill where-the Glaize
creek had washed away the earth and
made clay precipice. They dug a hole
there, where they also found traces of
the precious metal, but in no greater
quantities than before. Then they went
up the creek about quarter of a mile
and sank another shaft, with no better
result. They spent the whole spring
and summer digging holes around in
the neSghborhood of the park, but the
only benefit they realized from their
work was the sobriquet two luna
tics" and people laughed at them SO
much that both left and went back
west. where digging holes in the search
for gold was taken more seriously than
in st. Louis.-St Louis Globe Demo

The Name Bismarck.

Few people know how Bismarck and
his ancestors got their name. Bis
marck is the name of one Of those
ancient castles a short distance from
Stendal, on the road from Cologne to
Berlin, in the center of the old mar
quisate of Brandenburg. The castle
had this name because it defended the
"marca," or the line where the river
Biese formed boundary in former
times or mark of defense against in
truders; hence the name Of Bismarck.
