The CHAUFFEUR TELLS STORY

Detroit, Mich-After Chauffeur 10
seph W. Leach had testified in police
court that on the might of August q
he drove DR.. George A. Fritch from
the physicians office to Ecorse creek
where the doctor threw into the water
| three sacks, which they had taken
from his office, DR.. Fritch was held
for trial in the recorders court on
the charge Of manslaughter in connec-
ton with the death of Miss Maybelle
Millman of Ann Arbor.
Miss Millman's body was found in
three sections In sacks In Ecorse
creek and the lower Detroit river ear
ly in September. The body bore evil
dence, the police and county physi-
clan were satisfied, that criminal
operation had been performed or at
tempted.
Justice Jeffrles fixed DR.. Fritch's
bail at $1,000 with two sureties. This
is a reduction of $4,000 in the bail
which was fixed for the physician
when he was arrested.

TRAGEDY ON FARM.
Frank Morris, a Wealthy Farmer,
Shoots Wife and Then
Kills Himself.

Cedar Point, Kan.-Having instant
ly killed his wife with a single charge
from a double barreled shotgun, Frank
Morris, a wealthy farmer living about
three miles from this place, threw the
gun aside when the other barrel miss
cd fire, secured another from the
house and deliberately shot himself
through the head, falling dead beside
his wife. The tragedy occurred In the
door yard OF the home. and was wit
messed by the two little daughters, s
and IS years of age.
The cause of the shooting is large
ly surmise. Morris is known to have
been respondent over the death OF a
son, which occurred less than year
ago. There is also known to have
been domestic trouble in the home
which had caused a number Of quar-
rels between him and his wife. The
general opinion is that these two
causes combined to render Morris in
sane at the time Of the shooting.

To Give Clothes a Good Color.


Very frequently after one has been
away for the summer and the clothes
have bee.; submitted to incompetent
;aundresses, they acquire bad color.
In this case the following method has
been recommended to restore their
wilderness without any danger of rot
ting the clothes by strong bleaches:
Soak clothes over night. In the
morning shave two cakes of good
laundry soap into half boilerful of
water, adding two tablespoonfuls Of
kerosene. Boil 20 to 80 minutes.
In taking the clothes from the boil.
er drain all the suds back possible.
Rub on board. If the washing is more
than one boilerful put back enough
Of the suds-after rubbing the clothes
Ito keep the boiler hair full of suds'
Rinse through two clean waters be-
fore blueing, and you will never have
yellow clothes.
If particular to measure kerosene
and rinse thoroughly there will be no
~'nr OF kerosene.

mER BATH 80 TONIC.
eeneficiaI for Those Physically Able
to Take Them.


Not everyone is strong enough to
stand a shower bath, on. when taken
properly 1t has a tonic effect
The best test whether it is beneficial
or harmful is whether one is in a glow
afterwards or feels creepy for several
hours.
The shock ID not good for anyone
with a weak heart, and no one who is
not well should use a shower except
by the advice Of physician.
AS rule. the best time for a cold
shower is on rising in the morning;
the system is strongest theL.
Do not stay under the shower too
long, a minute is quite long enough,
unless one has exceptional strength.
1t is well to prepare for the cold
shower by dashing cold water on you
first or by taking a tepid shower and
gradually getting it colder.
Never take a cold shower when chill
ly. The cold feeling is a sign that
your physical condition is not up to
the mark.
Follow shower by hard rubbing
and by few physical exercises. Some
women go back to bed for five minutes
after the bath before dressing. The
rest overcomes any shock from the
cold water.
Do not stoop forward unduly in TAX
ing shower. 1t is not good for the
spine to receive the first shock of cold
at the base of the brain or between
the shoulders.

were real-estate men and you know
real-estate men sometimes have rare

and our little company-we had In

the shares were worth nearly $500
apiece. One of the members OF the

did? Split up his shares and willed
them to all sorts of persons. He left
two to an old woman out Tn Long Is

him, and that's where the story comes
In. This old woman doesn't know a

she realized that 1t was worth some
thing. and seeing my name on the
certificate she wrote to me, saying 1t
seemed to be worth 500, and asking
II I'd pay that much for 1t. What do
you think of that? Two shares for
500, and the shares worth $500

BUILDING up WORLDS CITIES.

The century just passed has wit
messed an enormous multiplication OF
large, cities and their rapid growth,
In 1901 there were in all Europe but
% cities of more than 100000 inhab'
itants, of which only London and Paris
had more than 100000 and none
reached 100000 At present there
are 100 cities OF more than 100000 in
habitants, SIS above 100000 and seven
of more than 100000. In the entire
world there are Is cities of 100000
or more inhabitants, including the Eu.
ropean seven. NJ De Toville, a
French student of comparative statis-
tics, attributes this unprecedented in
crease to the fat that the combined
efforts of science, industry and inven-
ton have actually changed the face
of the world. Chemistry, steam and
electricity, railways and steamers,
gold and credit have all appeared dur
ing this period and have given both

Enemies to Bio Trees.

Natural influences in nearly all
parts of Block island are so uDfavor-
able to tree growth that the planting
of trees with the expectancy of having
them attain even a fair size is not
practicable, is the conclusion reached in
report prepared by R. L. Rogers, a
special investigator connected with the
United States bureau of forestry.
Mr.. Rogers says that he finds the
residents of the island so discouraged
through failure to combat successfully
the gales and salt vapor of the island
that there is no sentiment that would
guarantee united effort for reforest-
Ing the island.
The scions from the fruit trees In
tended for grating purposes next
spring should be selected at once.
Those cut now will have more vigoE
in the spring than If cut after ex-
posture to severe cold. Cut only the
best ripened wood of the past seasons
growth, and select from trees known
to bear well. Mark scions carefully
and pack in small boxes of damp (not
wet) sawdust or sand. Cuttings Of
grapes, currants. ounces, goosebsr-
ries, etc., may now be made and pre-
served in the same way. Beware Of
