Gardenitis Prevalent Now.
The spring garden microbe which
has been lying dormant for ten
months has returned to life. 1t has
more victims than ever before. One
solace is that gardenities lasts only
about two months. Just now house
keepers begin to think of raising cab
bages and onions and other fruit in
the patches of cinders and tin cans
commonly called back yards The idea
is good, only this isn't the millennium
The business man keeps it secret
when he gets the disease He is 60
ing to keep it from the boys till the
stuff is ripe and then have them all
out to dinner. Then it is good to keep
it quiet, for he might not get good
crop. He guesses it about right there.
He DISCUSSES himself and when no
one is looking sneaks into seed
store and buys enough seed for 40
acre farm If he has good luck he f.
nally will produce an onion, ten or
twelve peas and a couple of tons of
sand burs With his prize he hurries
home and he and his wife smile over
what be has bought They can almost
taste the vegetables already. The
alarm clock is brought down from the
attic and busted and set at 6 o'clock.
1t will be nice to spade the garden
in the early morn. When the clock
starts ringing hand reaches out and
turns on the muffler. A few minutes
later only deep snores disturb the
quiet of the home. Subsequently for a
week the garden is spaded by the hus-
band Then man is hired. In two
months the patient has entirely recov-
cred and the spring microbe has re,
turned to a condition of coma in
which it will remain for another ten
months.

beck, who was arrested at Duluth,
Mimi, Tuesday, and brought to West
Union to await an investigation into
the circumstances surrounding the
murder Of his father, Ario Whitbeck,
on the evening of March IS, was for
mally accused of the crime by the cor
oner's jury, who made report last
night.
The young man was arraigned be-
fore justice Of the peace at West

charge Of murder in the first degree,
waived examination and was bound
over without bonds to the April ses-
sion Of the grand jury.
Mrs. Whitbeck, widow of the MUIR

The murder of Ario Whitbeck was
one of the most brutal imaginable,
While going to his barn in the early
evening, he was waylaid and beaten
to death with a heavy stake. Six dis.
tinct, crushing blows were inflicted on
the skull and he was dead when found
by a neighbor. He had some money in
his pocket at the time, and it was
first believed that the desire to com
NIT robbery inspired the commission
of the greater crime.
When found. the aged man had a
lock of hair tightly clasped in one
hand. At first it was supposed that
this would be employed as clue tc
identify the murderer, but it is said
that the hair was gray in color. the
same as that of the murdered man. II
is believed that, in his torturing pain
| he plucked the hair from his
own head.
