WOMAN KILLS MAN WHO
ACCUSES HER HUSBAND

Buffalo, y. Y.-Robert f. Kinney.
a Pennsylvania Railroad yardmaster,
was shot dead in Seneca street.
Agnes Gatlin, the wife of Edward
Gatlin of Terra Haute, Ind, is under
arrest, charged with firing the fatal
shot.
Mrs. Gatln was arrested a few
minutes after the shooting while try
ing to force an entrance to a saloon
nearby, where her husband was ly-
ing in a sideroom.
The tragedy was the result of Cat
Inns habits and treatment of his wife,
the police say.
Mrs. Gatlin was out searching for
her husband when she met Kinney.
In response to a question as to the
whereabouts of her husband Kinney
replied:
"Oh. he's out with the blonde to-
night"
Mrs. Gatlin, it is alleged, whipped
out a revolver and fired two shots,
one of which pierced Kinney's heart.

Ithaca. y. Y-"During the period
from 1860 to 1900 the proportion of

by 1862, or an average of about 80 in

change will continue unchecked for
a century and a half in the direction
in which it has been during the last
40 years, there will be no children

This startling statement came out
in the lecture on birth and birth rate
delivered by Prof Walter F. Wilcox
in the course Of sanitation in Good

at is one of the main duties Of
statistics to point out the whilrpools
in the stream along which society is
going" said Professor Wilcox, before
the current becomes irresistible, and
thus to arouse a desire to change the
course.
"The true reason for the fall in
the birth rate is that in modern times,
mainly within the last half century,
births and the brthrate have come
under the control of human will and
choice in a sense and to a degree new
er before true.
"Our leading American authority,
DR. John Shaw Billings, put it as fol-
lows:
"'The most important factor in the
past in the change Is the deliberate
and voluntary avoidance or prevention
on the part Of a steadily increasing
number of married people who prefer
to have but few children. Before this
change began the birth of child in
the vast majority of cases was not an
indication of a deliberate preference
for that result on the part Of either of
the parents
There is not a single one among
the experts who denies that this is the
great underlying cause Of the modern
decline in the birth rate of all civil |
lied communities"
Prof. Wilcox also gave statistics to
show that marriage is less common
among college graduates Of both sex
es than 1t is in the average Of the en-
tire population.
The figures regarding the birth rate
among college graduates show that

contrary, fails to reproduce itself.

Reforms in three of Pendleton's
ordinances were discussed last night
at the city councils meeting, but no
action was taken. Owing to the re-
cent squabble between expressmen
and cabmen and the prosecution of
the former for hauling people to the
football game on Thanksgiving, a
change in the ordinances covering such
businesses is contemplated The mat
ter was referred last evening to the
ordinance committee, members Of
which will hear the complaints and
determine what sort of change is best.
City Recorder Thos. Fitz Gerald
last evening recommended to the
council that the ordinance should be
so changed that a license would be
required of every team using the city
streets and that it permit them to get
whatever business is possible for
them.
A change in the ordinance covering
junk and hide shops was urged last
night. The present ordinance is so
drastic as to be practically prohibit
i've. Under the present terms it will
be possible to engage in the business
within 200 feet Of a residence, and II
Is desired that the ordinance be
changed TO permit dealing in dry

A BEAUTIFUL woman who leads a
n double life is the latest person of
interest in Washington's smart set.
The beautiful woman is Miss Harriet
Richardson, and her double life is per-
fectly proper as well as highly inter-
esting.
Three hours of each day she is Miss
Richardson of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, authority on the isopods of North
America, one of the who's Who's" in
the American Men of Science and with
a long string of degrees filling out the
page after her name. The other 81
hours of the day she is Miss Harriet
Richardson of Wyoming avenue, N. W.,
a society favorite.
Miss Richardson inherited a fortune
from her father, C. E. F. Richardson, a
wealthy land holder She is one of
the most exquisitely dressed young
women in Washington, skilled horse
woman a globe trotter and an adept at
bridge whist. Her suitors are many
and some have been ardent. But thus
far suitors have been unable to tempt
her-for there are the isopods.
Her first deviation from society
beaten path came when she refused to
be a bud" going to Vassar instead.

JINGLE SAM is busy these days
~ counting house flies. He has
started a sort of fly census for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the relationship
between the little buzzing pests and
typhoid fever. 1t is believed by some
agricultural department entomologists
that flies do an awful lot towards
spreading typhoid germs around-in
fact, several of them have been caught
with the goods.
The plan, therefore, is to catch the
wicked little insects, count 'em, and
compile a lot of data for comparison
with statistics furnished by the health
department as to the prevalence of
typhoid fever in localities where cap.
lures are made. The fly census has,
therefore, been inaugurated in Wash.

tended to other cities.

of the department of agriculture, is in

The greatest number of flies that

Eqyptian Cotton,

After years of unsuccessful effort to
introduce Egyptian cotton into the
United States, the bureau of plant in
dustry of the department of agricul-
ture reports that promising results
have been secured in New Mexico and
Arizona. Several million dollars
worth of Egyptian cotton is annually
imported into the United States and
it has been the desire of the depart
ment to cultivate it in this country.
Experiments of DR.. Carson, of the de-
partment of agriculture, in the Colo
RADIO river basin, within the last few
years, have also proven successful as
much as 80 pounds of lint having been
secured from one acre last year.
1t is said that Egyptian cotton seed
contains larger per cent of oil than
from any other country, and hence is
more valuable. The oily material in
fresh seed is given at "a per cent; in
dry, nearly q per cent, 1t is used
for culinary purposes as we'll as for
lighting on the States railway. Two
thirds of the seed is exported to
France, England, Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary. During the fiscal year
of 1906, only about six pounds were
sent to this country; at least this is

Canned Sweet Potatoes.


Prof. w. c. Welborn of the Texas
A. and M. College, in an article in
the Home Gamer, says:
Last summer visited a gentleman
in South Mississippi who is raising
and canning sweet potatoes in large
way. He gave me all his figures, and
showed me his product sold for enough
bushel for his potatoes. He kept ex-
pense accounts of his crops and In
one case when he made the exception
al yield of about 500 bushels to the
acre, his potatoes cost him about
cents a bushel delivered at the fac
tory. No product cans better than the
sweet potato and it is becoming a
staple wherever the people have op-
portunity to try it.
II have noticed the large canning
factories in the South have generally
failed. The people, it seems, general
ly ship the best products North, and
have little left to offer the cannery.
1t runs only short time and generally
does too little to be profitable. With
the small Outf1t the case is different.
If it does not run, nobody is hurt
When it is operated it can be made
quite profitable.
Il have noticed in canned corn, to-
matoes and other goods there Is a
big lot of water in the cans and very
little solid material. I am sure the
cans do not contain over one-half the
food they ought to have. There is no
sense in shipping cans of water half
across the continent, and if the con-
Stunning public was not very gullible
it would not be done. Let the farm.
ers and their good wives put up hon
estly filled cans, with good fruits and
vegetables, and they will find a good
market at advanced prices, and no
freight or commissions to pay"

Bee Culture Suggestions.

A few suggestions made by the
Oklahoma Experiment Station may be
helpful to the beginner and enable
marked success.
Shade your hives, if possible, with
trees carrying heavy foliage. Swarms
should be shaded from 9 a. m. to 5
p. m. during the hottest season Of
the year.
Get a super of honey from the hive
wintered over by putting a super con-
tanning sections with full sheets OF
foundation or a super containing ex-
tracing frames on the hive as soon
as there is good working force.
Provide supports for the hives which
will lift them foot or more from The
ground. Ants and insect-eating AMI.
mails may give trouble II the hives are
on the ground
When the swarm issues remove the
super from the old and place it upon
the new stand Your new swarm will
not leave their hive and will be quite
likely to continue working in the
super.
Arrange a wihdbreak to prevent
loaded bees from being dashed against
the hive fronts by the prevailing s.cong
winds.
Get your extra hives and supers set
UP for use several weeks before any
swarms are expected or the honey
flow may be half over before you are
ready to take care of it.
Keep all comb honey in mothproof
cases and examine frequently.
Set the hive with the front of the
bottom board half an inch lower than
the back, but it should be level side
wise or combs will be built at an angle
with the frames or sections.
Do not attempt to handle bees on
cold, damp days, but while they are
working in the field.
If bees are found hanging in chains
in super do not smoke them down,
thinking that they are idlers, for they
probably secreting wax.
