samuel Olson Loses Lies Savings in
Matrimonial Venture.

From home of plenty, owner of one of
the best farms in the town of Arson, near
chippewa Falls. to a state of poverty, an
inmate of a soldiers home in San Fran
cisco, is the fate of Samuel Olson, a pio-
neer resident of Chippewa county and one
of the first loggers in the Chippewa valley.
Three years ago Mr.. Olson sold his farm
and with the proceeds went West. He
was then widower and in the course of
time he met buxom widow. He became
infatuated with her and won her. The
new Mrs. Olson was not as lovely after
marriage as during the counting day. She
may have loved her husband but she
seemed to have loved his money better.
Anyway, Mr.. Olson's money went with a
velocity that made him fairly gasp. But
Mrs. Olson wanted more money, and al
though her husband assured her that she
had gone through with it, she did not be-
lieve it, and came to Chippewa county TO
investigate whether he did not have some
hidden property here. Being disappointed
inner search, she returned to her home.
And now comes the news that Mr.. Olson
is in a soldiers home. His wife is not
with him.

MYSTERIOUS OMAHA MURDER
Charles E. Davis Is Held for the
Killing of DR.. RuStin.

After a five days hearing Charles
Edward Davis has been held on the
charge of shooting DR.. Frederick Rus
tin of Omaha early on the morning of
Sept. 3 Bail was fixed at $4,000 and
was furnished. Mrs. Rice, who said
she had a suicide compact with Rustin
was principal witness against Davis.
DR.. Rustin was married man in
love with Mrs. Rice. He was heavily
in debt and believed the only thing for
him to do was to commit suicide in
such a way as not to invalidate his
insurance According to Mrs. Rice he
convinced her that she ought to kill
him and then commit suicide. She
tried, but her nerve failed. Then, she
says, the doctor met Davis, who also
wanted to die. The doctor, according
to her, gave Davis poison with which
to commit suicide, in consideration for
which Davis agreed to shoot the doc
tor that night
Davis admitted everything (even the
taking of the poison) except the agree
ment to kill and the actual killing
Davis attorney tried to convince the
court that Mrs. Rice did the killing.

each is brimming over with a big drop
of honey and glistening like a teardrop.
Shake the flower and it "weeps" as the
big drops fall from it, soon to be re-
placed by other tears in the rapidly
secreting flower. The simple folk call
the flower "Job's tears"
The snowdrop is literally flowing
Nth honey, for in swollen veins trav
ersing its fragile whiteness are rivers
of nectar. The petals of the columbine
are 1ngeniously and deliberately design
ed with view to providing good places
of hiding for the honey. Each is cir
cular, hollow, shaped like a horn. In
each the honey is secreted in a round
knob at what would be the mouthpiece
end of the horn, and the five are ar
ranged in ring, side by side, with the
honey knobs aloft. Though the honey
store is obvious from without, yet the
insects who would sip it must creep
into the flower and penetrate with
long nose up the curving horn to the
knob.
Sometimes the petals are all Joined
together into a tube and the sweet nee
tar simply exudes from the inner side
of the wall and collects at the bottom.
This is the case in the dead nettle, the
tube of which forms so toothsome a
morsel that some children call it suck
les" The honeysuckle is similarly
planned, and its sweetness is so strik-
ing as to have furnished it's name.
The monkshood has quaint hectares.
If the hood be drawn back there sud-
denly spring into sight two objects on
long stalks, which are sometimes like
a French horn, sometimes like a cowl,
or, looked at sideways. not unlike a
pair of doves. Their presence within
the hood has provided the nicknames
adam and Eve and ''Noah's Ark"
Thus the honey bags are carefully
tucked away and protected.-Chicago

DISCOVERIES AT KNossos.
Results of the Recent Excavation
by DR.. Evans in Crete.

Results of the Recent Excavations
by DR.. Evans in Crete.
May l beg a little space to inform
those interested in Cretan exploration
Of a series of discoveries lately made
at Knossos? says a writer in the Lon
don Times. The news from DR.. Evans
is exceedingly good. He has been
working all the season III the large
house which lies to the west Of the pal
ace, but unfortunately is deeply buried
under the talus of a hill. With great
labor DR.. Evans has now reached the
further limit Of this building, and on
his way has found much. 4 magnificent
steatite vase in the shape Of bulls
head, with inlay of cut shell about the
nOstrils and with crystal eyeballs, the
iris being painted on the back of the
crystal, reveals to us a new technic.
In another quarter, on the north, a
great hoard of bronze implements and
utensils, includin~ large tripod caul-
dron in perfect preservation, will much
increase our knowledge of the finer do
nestle apparatus of Minoan civiliza-
ton. AS DR.. Evans speaks of having
unearthed a great number of early
vases with these tools there should be
no difficulty in dating the latter and
thereby getting standard forms.
On the south of the palace a range
Of buildings has been found ar a lower
level, largely buried under debris of the
palace itself. The latter included a
mass Of ivory fragments, the remains
of carved caskets and of fresco paint
ings. Inside the south building itself,
under a staircase, a small hoard of sill
yer vessels bas come to light-some
bowls and a jug. These will be well
coined as first fruits of that work In
precious metals which so greatly influ-
enced the ceramic artists of the middle
Minoan periods, but has generally dis
appeared. We hear, too, of fine vases
of various kinds, one with papyrus
plant ornament in relief and others in
the best palace style" Work is also
proceeding actively on the restoration
of the royal apartments on the east
Of the palace, and every effort is being
made to get into the great dome tomb
found last year and to find other tombs.

CHICAGo's SHOCKING CONDITION
Fifteen Thousand School Children
SUFFERING from HUNGER

Fifteen Thousand School Children
Suffering from Hunger.
According to the report Of a com
mittee which has been investigating
conditions since May, there are 5000
children in Chicago frequently sent to
school brea kfastless, while 10000 9th
ers are habitually hungry as the result
of receiving insufficient food. What to
do with these children is now the prob
lem that confronts the city. The Board
of Education says that it cannot le-
gally furnish food, but is willing to
provide rooms and equipment TO en-
able any philanthropic person. or or
ganiZation, to relieve the distress. Many
are opposed to the idea of giving free
meals to children at school, believing
that the proper course is to enter the
homes of the people where restitution
exists and relieve it there. They urge
the argument that if the child who at
tends school is underfed the same con-
dition, even perhaps to greater extent,
applies to the younger children re-
ma.ling at home. The problem is a
serious one, and calls for quick solu-
ton.
Some of the conditions found by the
investigating committee were most
pitiable. Hundreds of mothers, the re-
port says, often go to bed hungry in
order that their children may have
something to eat next morning. This
self-denial is habitual heroism in sew
eral districts of the poor. Fathers out
of work have been found who were
regular beneficiaries of the free lunch
counters in saloons, while their fami-
lies went hungry.
Children have been found on South
Water street, faint with hunger, beg
ging for dead fowl in the crates or for
decayed fruit. They have been seen
feasting on remnants of food from gar
bage boxes in alleys and in a few in
stances clutching at crusts. of bread
thrown away by other children at
school,
In $40 homes children were found be-
ing raised in places unfit for human
habitation. The city is filled with de-
serted wives with large families. Chill
dren were found who did not know the
taste of butter and to whom the taste
of meat was but memory.

Remains Found Near Kenosha Those
OF Prominent Racine Man.
The headless body of a man found in
the woods south of Kenosha Sunday has
been identified as the remains of Frank
Clope, 40 years Of age, who disappeared
from Racine May 26. Clope was we'll
known in Racine and is alleged to have
become demented on account of his sons
arrest on a charge of counterfeiting. He
stated that he was going fishing when he
left home, but his friends now believe
that he went to the woods south of Ke-
nosha at that time and killed himself.
The widow asserts that he was murdered.
Representatives of insurance orders in
which Clope carried $1,000 insurance stat
ed that they were satisfied with the identi-
fication.

THE DAY BEYOND.

When youth is with us, all things seem
But lightly to be wished and won;
We snare tomorrow in a dream
And take our toll for work undone;
For life is long, and time stream
That sleeps and sparkles in the SUM-
What need of any haste?" we say;
ITO morrow's longer than to-day.
And when tomorrow shall destroy
The heaven of our dreams, in vain
Our hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again;
We have no leisure to enjoy,
so few the years that yet remain;
So much to do, and ali !" we say,
Tomorrow longer than to-day"
But when our hands are worn and weak
And still our labors seem unblest,
And time goes past us like a bleak
Last twilight waning to the west,
at is not here-the bliss we seek;
Too brief is life for happy rest.
And yet what need of grief?" we say;
''To-morrow's longer than to-day"

DIsMEMBERED BODY FOUND.
HemIins of Man Discovered In
Thicket Near Kenosha.

The dismembered body of man was
found in thicket on the farm of John
Reilly, six miles south of Kenosha. The
body evidently had lain in the thicket for
several months The fact that the head
appeared to have been severed at the
base of the spine caused suspicion that
the man had been murdered. The finding
of a revolver with one chamber empty at
a distance of fifty feet from the body
seemed, however, to dispute this theory
and make it appear that the man had
committed suicide. The parts of the body
found included a part of the neck and
chest and the upper part of both legs.
They lay within few feet of each other,
and a careful search failed to reveal the
rest of the body. The only explanation
offered for the disappearance of the head,
legs and arms is that they may have been
carried away by dogs. The body was
found by a party of boys who had gone
out i'll search of hickory nuts.

INJURY CAUSES DELINQUENCY.

Dent i'm Head OF Boy Causes Him to
Hate All Laws.
At Trinity hospital in Milwaukee there
is boy of II years who would rather
break the law than keep it. The boy has
proven himself incorrigible, and it is fear
ed he will develop into a criminal. An
examination of his head has been made
and it has been decided that the trouble
lies in a dent in the lads head. The dent
was caused by a cellar door falling upon
his head when he was years old. The
theory is that the dent is causing pressure
on the brain, with the result that the
boy is impelled to do wrong and to yield
to wicked impulses. Chief Truancy Off
Ger Bert Hall discovered the case. The
boy refused to attend school, would steal,
and displayed other undesirable qualities.

Guilty of murder in the first degree is
the verdict rendered in Appleton by the
jury which for week listened to evil

the defendant was accused of killing his
divorced wife, Mrs. Minna Grunert, by
beating her with a club and then hang
ing her body from a hook in a clothes
closet, to give the tragedy the appear

circumstantial, and the defense endeav-

Cahbare CrOp Is short.

f. w. Gunthem, probably the largest
cabbage grower and dealer near Racine,
says that the whole late cabbage crop is
a failure, that there will not be 1000 tons
to the good, and that it was expected
the yield would reach 10000 tons. In
the storehouses there is little on hand
and there is sure to be a famine.
