Made Full Confession

At the time of making the statement
Claudianes held back nothing. He told
how Felix urged him time and again TO
hurry the deed along and how he con-
stantly insisted that the people who
were furnishing the money were inns
patient over the delay. The method of
committing the crime was discussed
between them at length. and when
finally the poison methods We're dis
carded in favor Of dynamite, Felix sug-
gested that the explosive be thrown
into an open basement and that Clau-
danes then throw a rock through
window Immediately over it in order to
attract every one in the house to this
particular place and make sure of the
terrible slaughter. 1t was only the
whim Of a moment that caused Peter at
the last to give up this plan and place
the dynamite in the vestibuIe instead
OF carrying out the arrangement that
would have carried its train of certain
death.
Even while detectives and the police
departments Of two cities were striving
TO place the responsibility for this first
crime, Felix and Peter and their higher
up advisers were plotting a second at
tempt, which resulted in the blowing
up Of the Gallagher houses at Adams
point. Even then they did not desist
Felix told Peter that his employers
we're urging lhem TO try again and
proposed that Peter should go to the
Bon Air apartments in San Francisco,
where Gallagher was then living. and
take rooms there with woman whom
he should pass off as his wife Peter
was TO find an opportunity to poison
the milk delivered to Gallagher with a
powerful poison, which Felix said he
would furnish 1t was Peters ina
bility to gain the consent of the woman
TO accompany him that caused this plan
to be dropped. and it was while he was
in Reno endeavoring to induce a Ger
tam woman to return to San Francisco
with him that he received the news
that the authorities were on his trail

An important Resolution.

We direct attention to one of the
most important resolutions adopted by
the national grange at its recent meet
ing. Should the grange succeed in get
ting federal law on the statute books
carrying out the provisions of this res
olution there would be small rev.
olution in things. Read 1t carefully:
Resolved, First, that all states and the
federal government should enact uni-
form public accounting law. requiring all
public accounts of every kind to be kept
by a uniform system. prescribed by state
OF federal authority: and, second. that all
accounts of every person, firm or corpora
ton who are beneficiaries of any special
privilege in whatever form granted,
whether by a state or by the federal gov
ernment, shall be required to keep all the
books, accounts, papers and records in
the manner and form prescribed by the
state and federal government by which
such special privilege Is granted. and all
such books, papers and records shall be
subject to inspection and audit at the
pleasure Of the authority prescribing the
same.
Speaking of the parcels post agita-
tion, 1t may be interesting to note that
Germany has had a parcels post sys-
tenn for a long time, and packages
weighing 10 pounds can be sent by
mail, and the postal receipts last year
were $14,624,000 greater than ex-
penses.

CARE OF THE TURKEYS.
san,e Valuable Suggestions From
Widely Known Expert.

Mrs. Charles Jones of Pawpaw, Ill.,,
has the following in the Poultry
Keeper:
In the fall turkeys need very little
care, as they do best to have large
range and pick up their own living
They are very healthy at that time Of
kle year, and there is only one trouble
to contend with, and that Is where
they have access to an oats field where
the oats have been thrashed. as they
eat SO much of the grain that it fills
the gizzard sosfull that the food cam
not be digested. | have opened chick
ems that have gorged themselves with
oats unit. their gizzar6ks were so pack
ed that the food could not move off.
aud the consequence was death.
For bowel troubles, which turkeys
sometimes have. have given olive or
linseed oil in large doses about three
times After the last dose iS given at
night give quinine.
Heavy toms are liable to nave bum
BILE foot. which is caused by jumping
down from high places where they
roost For this trouble have soaked
the foot and put on q poultice, but this
does not work well, as a turkey has so
much blood in its foot that the pouItice
draws the blood to the foot, ard it
makes matters worse. ! have a case
that am trying corn salve OIL and
think it will help to make cure.
As one extreme in the seasons usual
ly is followed by other extremes, we
may hope for good year next year in
our turkey crop, and evidently every
one thinks So as the demand for
breeding stock is already large. To fit
turkeys for the show room or the mar
ket requires about the same treatment.
Let them have their liberty and pick
up their own living, with access to
clear water and sharp grit. with plenty
of coarse grit for mature turkeys.
/ never feed my turkeys until the
ground freezes. as they pick up the
grain where the stock is fed. Turkeys
intended for market can be kept con-
fined for about ten days and fed fat
tening food, and have never found
anytnlng 10 put on weight equai 10

mashes the cause of roup. as used to
have roup in turkeys and chickens and
since have cut out warm mashes
have never had the roup in my foeks.
1t has been several years since have
even had a symptom of 1t. Warm, dry
houses and dry feed will avoid roup.

A Clever Japanese.

In the land of the chrysanthemum,
with its traditions of gentle voiced,
light tripping women, with aureoles of
crapy hair transfixed by jeweled dag
gers, the revolutionary doctrines of the
new woman are gradually making
their way. and soon sweet Pitt Sing
and her kind will exist no more. Eu-
ropean dress, European ideas and Eu-
ropean education are gradually elm
mating the chrysanthemum maid. One
of the newest of Japan's new women
is the charming Nine Hanako, who is
now touring this country with her COM
pany of Japanese players. Horace
Greeley's granddaughter, Miss Nixola

this new woman of the orient In re-
gard to the new woman of America

Farmer vincent's Wise Sayings.

DGndelion leaves are one of the best
things to feed to hens that you can
get.
Some breeds of hens need altogether
different feed from others You didn't
know that? What will make one hen
lay the most eggs may not be the
thing for another The hen business is
a study.
Cut some Of the second crop clover
to feed to the hens next winter.
Drop mashes for awhile and try feed
Ing whole or cracked grain. There Is
reason and good one. Change Of
diet Is good even for hens.
Fix up box Of sand in the corner
of the henhouse for the biddies to rus
tie in Farm Journal.

Has the average size of the ordinary
hens egg ever been matheInatically
computed? Yes. Great egg packers
employ men who from dawn to dark
do nothing but pass eggs, one after an
other, before candle to insure only
fresh ones being received. Measure
ments have been conducted by these,
and experiments based on perhaps a
thousand eggs show the average length
OF hens eggs to be 2.27 inches and
the average diameter at the broad end
1.72 inches, while the average weight
Is about one-eighth Of pound. Mont

TERMS DEFINED.
What Is Meant by the Initiative and
Referendum.

ftSt VI Sat1tftts
The national grange and many state
oranges are discussing the merits and
demerits of what is called the initi-
ative and referendum. Ohio oranges
are particularly active this winter in
this discussion. The legislature of that
state will pass upon the question at
Its present session. Oregon has had
the system in operation for five years.
Maine and Missouri have it on trial.
What is this new method of dealing
with public questions on the part of
the people? BY the initiative is meant
the right of the people to propose laws
to the legislature to be by it acted
upon and, if not enacted, to be re-
ferred to a vote of the state at the
next following election. Take an ex-
ample: The people of Oregon, like the
people of Ohio, had for many years
demanded that the big public service
corporations pay their just share Of
the taxes. Finally a bill taxing these
corporations per cent on their gross
incomes was introduced into the leg
islature Of that state, only to be killed
in committee-the usual fate of peo-
ple's measure. The grangers Of Ore
gon secured a copy of that bill, raised
the percentage to 3, printed it on petit
tions and circulated it all over the
state. When per cent of the voters
had signed it was filed with the Sec
retary of state and went to a vote Of
the people in June, 1906. It was ap-
proved by a vote of ten to one and
thus became law.
The Ohio amendment also provides
for the referendum-that is, the pow
er of the people to require that any
law passed by the legislature unsatis-
factory to the people may be remand
ed to vote of the people at the fol-
lowing general election If petition of
5 per cent of the voters (about $4,000
is filed against the bill within ninety
days.
Note that the initiative and referen-
dunn is called into action only when
the people may see fit to use it. So
long as the legislature truly represents
the people there is no need for it.

OHIO STATE GRANGE.
Change In Representation
Growth of Membership.

Growth of Membership.
Including delegates and visitors there
were fully 1900 people in attendance
at the Ohio state grange meeting at
Kenton. twenty-five new oranges had
been organized and large accessions
during the year to oranges already or
ganized. The treasurer's report show
ed total resources Of $23.7SS.95. The
committee In charge of the trade ar
rangement reported that sixty-four tons
of binder twine had been purchased,
worth $4,000, and also fertilizer to
the amount of $21 900. An important
change in the representation of the
state grange was made. Proportional
representation was adopted which en-
titles each county having a grange to
one delegate, and each county having
paid up membership exceeding 500 will
be entitled to an additional delegate
for each additional 500 or major frac-
ton thereof. provided that two dele
gates shall not be elected from the
same grange. The state masters sal
airy was increased to $500, with $3.50
per day and expenses when on the
business of the grange. The grange
favored county local option, forestry
preservation. direct election of United
States senators, referendum on the 5
per cent basis and initiative on not
over s per cent basis, provided that
measures be adopted by the majority
of votes cast, favored the use of
share of the farmers institute funds
for instruction in household economy
In the Institutes and recommended uni
form specifications for road laws, so

per cent by the county and 10 per cent
each by township and abutting proper

grange will be held at Columbus next

Give Chicks Charcoal.

When chicks are fed mashes It is a
great benefit to them to add little
powdered charcoal to their feed. Have
the mash moist enough so the charcoal
will stick. The chicks will soon learn
to like it and will eat the mixture as
readily as plain food. When they get
older, feed the charcoal alone and see
how they will eat it 1t is a fine thing
to keep them healthy, for it is a great
corrective, preventing fermentation Of
food in the crop, and for that reason
is a great aid in warding off bowel

Clubs In the Canal zone.

Miss Helen Varick Boswell has re-
turned from Panama. to which she
went at the request of the secretary of
war to see if she could not infuse some
brightness into the social atmosphere
of the canal zone by organizing wo-
mems clubs. The women in Panama
are not so busy as their northern sis
ters. Most of the aliens have left their
children at home in schools, and house
keeping duties are very light. In each
town exists a strong feeling of caste
between those who do manual labor
and those who do not. although in
some cases the former get. more money
than the latter. Most of the women
were unacquainted with their neigh
bors, and their dissatisfied attitude
was communicating itself to their hus-
bands. Miss Boswell organized a Sc
ries of clubs along practical lines, such
as gardening clubs, devoted to improv-
ing the appearance of the towns; mu-
Sical clubs, which win take an interest
in providing concerts and entertain
ments for the public, and many other
useful organizations. She left the wo-
men of the canal country as enthusi-
astic in regard to her as are all who
know her. Miss Boswell organized the
women's Republican clubs and is a
member of the welfare department of
the Civic federation as well as many
other feminine organizations. She is a
southerner. although she now lives in
the north, dividing her time between
Washington and New York.
