SUPPOSED TO BE DEMENTED
Aged Farmer Kills Two Young Girls
and Himself.

Aged Farmer Kills Two Young Girls
and Himself.
William Tihbitts, aged seventy, a
farmer who lived near Delhi, killed
two young girls, one his own daughter.
Then, after making an unsuccessful
attempt to burn his farmhouse and
cremate their bodies, he hurried to his
barn and hanged himself Tibbitts
is supposed to have been demented.
The victims of the supposed maniac
were his ten-year-old daughter and &C.
Gle Norton, about eighteen years of
age, daughter of his housekeeper, Mrs.
Rose Norton. More lives might have
been sacrificed but for the fact that
Mrs. Norton, who has been employed
by Tibbitts since the death of his wife
two months ago, was visiting at her
former home at St. Paul Park. With
her were the two youngest daughters
Of Tibbitts.
The hapless victims of the farmer
were slain with heavy piece of iron.
No one so far as known saw the kill
ing. The girls could have had no
chance at all for their lives. Every
thing Indicates that their slayer
struck them from behind and crushed
their skulls at the first blow. Many
blows from the deadly weapon then
followed, their heads and upper por-
tons of their bodies being cut and
bruised in a horrible manner.

ing circulars printed in German, Pol
ish and English, telling the advan-
tage of the plan he has to offer and
urging wage earners now struggling
for livelihood in the great East to
grasp the opportunity. While it is
desired that as many Catholics as pos

close to the soil there will be no dis
elimination as to religion and no per-
son of desirable character will be re-

advantages the colonies will offer.
While the land is owned by St. Paul

Previous to that time Il could only
be obtained direct from the laoora-

Since this change in tho method Of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success OF anything
introduced to the drug trade In the
last 80 years. AL leading druggists,
including Lee & Osgood and Smiths

rying the special 50-cent size recently
adopted, also the So jar.
This great success Is not surprising
when 1t Is remembered that, In ecze-
ma cases, poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds TO heal inn
mediately. and cures chronic cases in
few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
such as pimples blackheads. acne,
herpes. blotches, rash, ETC., results
show after an overnight application.

GETTING OUT THE ROCK
GATUM DAM CONCRETE
Nathan J. Gibbs Supervisor of Work
Dug First Piece for Largest Kind Of
Masonry Work Ever Attempted.

Nathan ]. Gibbs, who is supervisor
Of the quarry at Porto Bello, Panama,
from which they are taking the rock
for the concreate for the Gaturn dam,
writes to relatives under date Of March
Z. saying:
Perhaps you viii realize that Uncle
Sam is doing things Seventeen
months yesterday 1 came TO Porto
Bello. 1t was then nothing but one
other American and ten Spaniards.
Look at it today.
Yesterday at $50 we shipped the
first load Of rock for the Gatum locks.
The barge is one built especially for
this work: capable Of a load Of 1000
tons, 500 cubic yards of crushed rock.
I'VE have been working day and
night for over two months, prepara-
tory to shipping this, and when she
pulled out of the harbor, with the Por-
to Bello in tow. Their was a great com
motion at this little station. About
fifteen whistles on the locomotives,
steam shovels and hosting engines,
and three big whistles on the boiler
house saluted the tug as she sailed
away. An American flag proudly
waved at the stern Of the barge, and
as she moved out there was not an
American here that did not feel a lit
tie pride In sending the first rock for
the great dam and locks. 1t was the
first Of 1000 barges to be shipped from
Porto Bello, and I shall never forget
that I dug the first rock with my
steam shovel and transported ii to the
crusher house. and there personally
dumped the first car Of rock that ever
went through the largest crushing
plant for the largest piece Of concrete
masonry that has ever been attempted.
THE quarry has developed so much
that we are now using about a half
a ton of dynamite a day, and this past
week my tripod drills have drilled in
over a half-mile Of holes for loading
in front Of the four steam shovels."

The place has a population of about

to the country which had been visited
by the flood and for miles nothing
