Drowned in Marias 0es Cygnes.

Little Mary Mckeel, the four year

when Sheriff Bullock left, parties had

bring the body to the top.

from the court house hitch rack and
backed him out preparatory to
starting to his home southwest OF

and started up before the Judge
could get in the buggy, and when
checked, he backed, when the front
wheel struck the Judges knee cap
iracturing the bone. Judge Hem

who found 1t necessary to reduce the
fracture by binding the pieces OF

Amysterious case OF poisoning has
at last been traced down. Some
weeks ago the Knapp family ofseven
living q few miles southwest OF Adj
rian were stricken down with VIC
lent illness. A physician was called
aud pronounced is a case OF poison
ing, but she patients would become
convalescent and relapse In such
quick succession shat DR.. Robinson,
she attending physician, was puzzled
as TO the source OF the poison. A
few days ago the source OF the poison
was discovered. A tank OF hog dip
was stored away In the smoke house,
under the tank containing the dip
were two cans, one contained lard,
the other sausage. the dip tank had
leaked, the escaping dip dropped In
the cans containing the lard and
sausage and from these cans the
family got part of the daily food sup
ply. Since the discovery was made
and the source OF poison shut OF she
patients are on the road TO perma,
lent recovery.
This case has been something OF n
mystery to the public in general and
It's solution will relieve the situation
of any suspicion, 1t is hoped that
every member OF the stricken family
will be speedily restored to health.

THE EVENING OF AUTUMN.


A cricket clings to a weed and sings
A song that Ia weird and chill;
Like dirge it seems, that is heard In
dreams, So
As 1t floats Ger the windy hill.
The birds are dumb, and no bees hum:
The wave of bloom is spent,
Yet the scent of the fields my spirit yields
A soft and sweet content.
The barberrfes red their coral spread
Athwart the liehened rocks;
So grace lives on though Summer s gone
AT the threshold Winter knocks.
The spell ne'er tires: twixt the mullen
spires,
Ger the grass, in every place,
Beyond compare, with shuttle rare,
The spider weaves his lace.
Doth Beauty go? To the eyes that know
She only takes new form,
And lies at rest on a meadows breast,
Or fits through a shrieking storm
Thus imemory finds meath Gains and winds
A harvest fresh to reap
For fancy's food in solitude,
And ravel-knitting sleep.

Would it not be better to own frankly

MARRIAGE SUPERSTITIoNs.
Practices INDUCED in by Manageable
Italian Maidens.

The wholesale emigration of young
men from Italy is causing a FILLING off in
marriages among the lower classes and
manageable girls in the country have
revived several superstitiouS practices
which are supposed to have the power
of helping them to find husbands.
Whenever girl who has several I'M
married sisters marries the precaution
of throwing n great quantity of hot wa
ter over the doorstep is never neglected.
There is a firm belief that before the
water dries mp another member of the
same family, generally a sister of the
bride. will find a husband.
If girl peels an apple without break
ing the skin and then throws the skin
over her left shoulder it is said that it
will take the shape of the first letter of
her future husbands name. If several
girls write their names on apples and
hang them on a string in a row before
the fire the first apple that falls down is
that Of the girl whose marriage Is immi-
nent.
Another effective means to a quick
marriage consists in burning a wisp of
hair together with certain herbs on a
slow fire in a dark room an hour after
midnight. The shadow of the future
husband is then seen, and the marriage
follows within fortnight.

Consul Arminio Conte's statement that
he could find employment for several
more Italians if they were here at the
present time, is concrete evidence of the
improvement of the times. In 1907, at
this time, there was a hegira of Italians
to their old homes, and some returned to
Italy last winter, further reducing the
Milwaukee colony. But with an active
winter in view the Italian colony in Mil
waukee is increasing rapidly. The fact
that the Italians stick to the United
States so long as they can find employ
ment is proof of their industry, which is
so pronounced that there can be no doubt
as to the character of the citizenship of
the coming generations of American citi-
Zens of Italian descent.

The government has wisely taken
steps to safeguard the cattle of the Unit
ed States against infection through the
influx of foreign hides which has been
invited by the reduction in the tariff
made by the Payne law. 1t has issued
orders that all hides of neat cattle which
have not been sun-dried or cured with
arsenic at the place of shipment shall be
excluded unless they are accompanied
by certificates showing that they have
been disinfected. The meat supply Of
the United States is now so inadequate
that cattle have grown to be objects Of
more value and solicitude than formerly.
Heavy loss is incurred every time there
is an outbreak of disease such as the
foot-andmouth epidemic which pre-
vailed in Maryland and adjoining states,
several years ago; and t,.ere are dangers
enough at home, without letting in new
ones by carelessness in the importation
of hides.
