THE NEST EGG NO FAKE.


Now! Everybody ready? Here's for
a good laugh at the cushion pressing
poultry editor who calls the nest egg
"grandmother's superstition"
Our hens just cackle for them. Why?
Just because Il hen sits plump down
on a nest egg and uses it to press out
the new egg.
She will lay almost every time where
there is an egg and, if not furnished,
will often scratch a stone, corncob or
green apple into the nest.
Hens can carry an egg under the
wing. as you have discovered to your
sorrow when lifting a cluck hastily
from the nest. We have been surprised
at times TO find most of the nest eggs
in one nest and on watching have de-
tected a hen making the transfer.
To cultivate the habit of laying in
one place and to stop nest stealing, to
prevent hens crowding into one nest
and also the dropping of eggs, to be
broken and eaten, and to start your
laying pullets to lay in the nests, fur
nish nest eggs, and lots of them. The
patent louise killing nest egg soon
evaporates and taints the eggs. The
natural egg should not be used, as it
gets stale. The white china egg is
bost for the nest

William F. coIvin Died at His Home
Yesterday Near sandusky Where
He Had Lived Many
Years.
A TRUE CHRISTIAN MAN
Was Born in Kentucky In 1926 and
Was One Of the Oldest Pioneer
Residents Of the
State.

At his home near Sandusky, Tues
day, August II, 1909, William F. Col
win died at the age of eighty-three
years, eleven days.
Mr.. Colvin was born in Lincoln
county, Kentucky, Aug. 6, 1926. Here
he grew to manhood and August IL,
t1S47, he married Miss Katharine
yanausdall. They enjoyed this com
panionship for over half century,
Wednesday, Aug. IL, 1909, being their
sixty-second wedding anniversary.
They moved from Kentucky to Lee
county, Iowa, in 1854. Soon after
coming to Iowa they settled on the
farm which has been their home 70"
over fifty years.
Mr.. Colvin has been consistent
member of the Christian church for
more than fifty-three years. His was
life that was an example for
those with whom he came in touch
and quiet but firm supporter of all
that was best.
Those who knew him longest were
his warmest friends.
He is survived by his wife. one son

young men themselves, with their own
cooking utensils which they carried
with them. They slept every night in
their boat. except during the period
that they camped on Lake st. Claire.
The Gilbert launch is a fast boat,
with engines developing sixteen horse
power Between fifty and sixty miles
a day were averages on the trip up
stream. while close to eighty miles
a day was recorded on the down trip.
The boat was never pushed to her
limit of speed.
Only one accident marred the trip,
and this came near to spelling it all.
The second Sunday out, while the
party was running up through Lost
Channel. near the town of LynXville,
Wis, at night, the boat struck an I'M
expected dam and for several hours
was held on the barrier. Fortunately
the craft was running at slow rate
of speed and to this fact may be laid
its escape from serious damage. The
boys succeeded in getting their craft
free finally without mishap, after
tightening the boat.
When Hudson, Mimi. was reached
short distance above ST. Paul. the
boat was tied up and the Burlington
voyagers made use of the interurbar
TO take them forty miles into the state
to the head of Lake St Claire, where
they camped for ten days, in almos
primeval forest.
The return trip was uneventful, ;
good deal of the travelling being don'
under cover of night, owing to tn
/ fierce heat and glare of the sun on tn
river near midday. Still it is quit
evident that the boys did not shtr

no small undertaking and the success
with which they carried it through
all its phases reflects much credit u

Sheriff Anderson Talks.

In conversation over the long dis.
lance phone with Sheriff E. w. An
derson of Linn county, Missouri, this
morning he told Gate City reporter
that the woman had been in Brook
field but two days and was living with
a woman in that city by the name of
Towers.
Over the long distance at ten
o'clock this morning. Sheriff Anderson
speaking in the absence of the chief
of police Harris of that city, said that
the body of Mrs. Roberts was found
In dying condition in an alley in
the fourth ward in that city about
midnight Monday by colored man
named Davis. Davis said that the
woman did not speak being too weak
from the loss of blood at the time
and she died within a few minutes
after being found.

SUSPECTS Arrested.

The Brookfield police at once got
busy and yesterday morning three
suspects were landed in Jail. Two OF
them were let go however. no charge
could be found against them. The
other man who is a colored loafer of
that place is being held however, and
will be given trial later.
The sheriff stated this morning that
he did not know whether they had the
right man or not but were on the look
out for the murderer of the Keokuk
woman.
While in that city, the Brookfield
police say that the woman did not
work but was living at the
home of the Towers woman. She
had been in Brookfield only two days
but claimed Keokuk as her home tell
ing the Towers woman with whom she
stayed that this was her home.
The Brookfield police say that the
woman was stabbed once but there
was no evidence of struggle, a
wound being found in her breast and
her clothes clothed with blood. The
knife with which Mrs. Roberts was
stabbed was not found however. The
woman had been lying in the alley for
an hour or more presumably when
found and was in an extremely weak
coalition being unable to talk to Da
Wis. the man who found her
The only solution given by the
Brookfield police for the murder o.
the Keokuk woman is that she hae
gotten into trouble with a man with
whom she had been keeping company
while in that city and in quarrel hat
been stabbed and left to die in the al
ley.
The Brookfield police are still o.

! the crime and will probably land tn
party by whom the woman was stab

The woman was taken to the under
taking parlors at Brookfield afte
death and prepared for burial, tn
body being shipped to this city yestel
day morning, arriving here early th1
morning at 2:40.

City reporter, the relatives of the MUIR
dered woman closed up like clans and
would not talk about the matter other
than stating that they had received
two kilograms from the friends of
the woman at Brookfield and had
heard from her quite frequently since
she left Keokuk. Further than that
nothing could be gotten from them.
The woman was stabbed twice In
