avenue. After the murder Willough-
by fired two shots into his breast over
his heart The police have taken lis
confession and ante mOrtem statement.
His condition is so low it Is not be
lieyed he can recover.
Willoughby confessed to the police
officers that. he had committed the
murder because he was infatuated
with another woman whom he had
heen supporting for two years.
Uses ChIoroform and Revolver.
Mr.. and Mrs. Willoughhy during
the evening had attended a social at
the Park Place Methodist Episcopal
church, where both were prominent
workers. Mr. Willoughby also taught
a Sunday school class. After the So
cial they visited his brother, Laroy
Willoughby. Oakland and Hartford
avenues. after which they returned to
their home.
There qurrel followed, after
which both retired. While Mrs Will
loughby was asleep he chlorofOrmed
her and then shot her with revolver
behind the left ear, causing instant
death The shots he fired at himself
pierced his lung but missed the heart.
Makes a Full Confession.
Willoughby made the confession
while he lay in bed with Charles HI.
Lemon and Detective Dennis Sulli-
van and 4 nurse standing over him.
At first he denied that he had shot his
wife, but when the police showed him
that any other theory was impossible
he confessed.
His confession in substance is as
follows:
81 married my wife twenty years
ago. | did not love her, but married
her mostly out of sympathy, she being
a poor woman. We were married at
Ludington and soon after came to this
city. Our life has never been a happy
one.
''We both took good care not to let
our friends and neighbors know of our
domestic troubles. We frequently
quarreled. Mrs. Willoughby was in
sanely jealous of me. She continually
accused me of not being true to her
and on the whole we both lived a mis-
cradle existence.
Meets His Affinity.
MATTERS went on this way for
years. -Four years ago, while on my
way to New York, met woman on
the train. Our acquaintance ripened
into love. Then for the first time l
realized l had met a woman truly
loved.
This woman also was living an I'M
happy life. Her husband was cruel to
her and soon after l met her he de-
serted her and her two small children
l then began to support her. We be-
came intimate and have been so for
several years. Two years ago she OBJ
tanned divorce and since that time
I have been wholly providing for her
and her children. She is now living
in Chicago"

last chance to secure a copy of Simplicity
of Soils with years subscription of
The Journal of Agriculture and this
paper. This book tells you how soils
are made fertile, what fertility is and
how the farmer may maintain the fertil-
ity in his soils by simple methods; the
value Of humus in soils and how to keep
up the supply of humus while the soil is
producing the exhaustive crops: how the
farmer may tell the needs of his soil and
how to supply those needs from the ma
terials near at hand; barn yard manure
as a fertilizer and how it loses it's ferti1-
izing elements; the influence of feed on
manure and how the farmer NAV feed
his animals to increase the amount of
plant food in the manure produced; the
value of moisture in soils and now the
farmer may hinder much of the loss of
moisture; the ideal soils for wheat, corn,
cotton and tobacco, and how the farmer
may make the soil ideal for these crops
In short, the little book is intended to
simplify soil fertility and assist the

material that he usually allows to go to
waste and dry by methods that he usually
overlooks.

ment should be meted out to those guilty
of the same; but at the same time that
the law enforcing officers should not
prostitute the duties of their positions
for mere spectacular effect or partisan
political purposes.
We want the public to know that all
the republican Judges and clerks of cleo
ton were selected and approved by re-
publican city central committeeman, and
that this privilege was denied democratic
city central committeeman although it
had been the unbroken custom for the
legal representatives of each party to
select the representatives OF their re-
spective parties in the various polling
places.
We want the public to know that these
same Judges and clerks so selected by
! the republican city central committee
were the ones who served in the recent
primary election, and who were reap
| pointed by the board of election commits
SionerS.
We want the public to know that it
was impossible for one dishonest ballot
to be placed in a ballot box without the
connivance, coIlusion and consent of re-
publican Judges and clerks Of election;
that it would have been impossible for
any fraud to have been committed un-
less the same was equally participated
in by republicans as we'll as democrats.
We want the public to know that all
OF the candidates upon the republican
state slate and al the candidates upon
the republican city slate ram far ahead
Of their competitors, and in every ward
where fraud was disclosed secured the
full benefit of this fraud.
FOurth-Wc call the attention of the
voters to the splendid administration OF
municipal affairs under democratic Off
GERS, and ask them to remember the con-
duet of municipal affairs under the last
/ republican administration.
We ask them not to forget the days OF
Zeigenhein, the days of the house and
council combine, the days of the crimi-
| nal sale of public franchises to the high
est bidders; to the time when the city
was left in darkness, when its streets
We're unpavad, its sewers dirty, and its
eleemOsenary institutions were pest
houses and infected prisons, d disgrace
to civilization, and to the total lack of
civic pride which permeated every Office
held by Il republican.

COST OF BUILDING A

Continued from page l

the case of cooperative creamerie
and excessive cost OF building anC
equipment. Many creamerie
have cost about twice their actua
worth, and were not of the type
suited to the locality in which
they were built.
The cost Of building about 2S
by +S feet will vary from $500 to
Sl,+O0 dependent upon the local
ity, the construction, and the cost
OF material and labor. Such a
building usually consists OF a
main work room, engine and boil
er room Including space for re-
lrigerator machine), coal room,
refrigerator, store room and Of

Machinery for a ha~nd-separa-
tor plant, consisting of l5-horse
power boiler, 1O-horse power en-
CINE, combination churn with a
capacity OF go pounds of butter,
and other neseccary apparatus,
will cost approximately $1,000.
Machinery for a whole milk plant
will cost about $3.50. This
will handle from 1000
70 Loo pounds OF butter per day.
a r~efrigreating machine is in
the cost will be from S6OOl
to $1,000 more.
The total cost OF creamery
would therefore vary from $1,000
a simple hand separator plant
where labor and material are
heap, to $3.50 for a whole-milk
plant including artificial refrigera
ion and a higher cost of labor
and material.

ROOSEVELT.


Roosevelt, Aug. 16-(Special Core spondence of The Republican)-A skeleton was found about one mile above the new town of Roosevelt yes terday in what is known as the Cot tonwood canyon. It was discovered by a party of three Mexicans, Maui Salas, Jose Busani and Alejandro Guerreea, who were out in the hills for a walk. The parties making the find were closely interrogated by Judge Evans as to what shape the bones were situated They were all found on the surface and evidently had not been buried at that particular spot. They must have been exposed to the weather for a Eumber of years; the ends of the arm and leg bones being decompOsed at the joints. The body was of medium height apparently and some think there is a possibility that they were one of a lot taken from the cave or cliff dwellers ruins situated couple or three miles beyond the spot they were found at. The bones are in the possession of Judge Evans.
 Macario Mendares driving one of the wagons hauling clay for the cement mill had a runaway down the govern ment grade here and was injured to the extent of a dislocation of the shoulder and a deep gash in the fore. head and also cut across the chin. It seems that MT. Mendares had his team on the outer side Of the road opopsite the government corral, waiting for
