Iowa Falls, Sept. 80. William
George, a pioneer resident Of this
county, committed suicide yesterday
by hanging. MIR. George lived in
Georgetown, a small suburb of this
city, and the family, missing him about
the place, instituted search and found
his lifeless body hanging in the barn,
where he had evidently carefully
planned the taking of ihs own life.
He had taken some binding Irvine
and twisted it until he evidently was
sure it would sustain his weight, and
then placing a moose about his neck,
and the other end Of the rope over a
snap that was fastened in the joist, he
stepped off a small projection in the
stall and probably strangled to death.
His body was found about half am
hour after he died. Coroner J. A. w.
Burgess Of this city was summoned,
but upon careful investigation came to
the conclusion that an inquest was I'M
necessary and so no jury was empan-
nelled, the case being apparently one
of suicide.
Didn't Want to Leave Home.
MIR. George was well advanced in
years and had been in poor health for
some time and of late it is stated he
had evidenced alteration of the mind.
1t is reported that relatives were PLAN
ming to have him enter the soldiers
home at lMarshalltown, where he would
receive the best of care and treatment,
and 1t is supposed he got wind of this
and preferred taking mis- own life to
leaving the old home.
MIR. George came to this county on
his 21st birthday, moving here with
his folks from Richland county, Ohio,
where he was born April 10, 1888
Sept. 10, 1862. at Sterling, ILL.,, he was
married to Miss Lucretia Shepherd
who with several grown children, sur
vive him. In 1852 Mr.. George enlisted
as member of Company + of the
First Iowa Cavalry, and served two
years, when he was discharged on ac-
count of disability arising from a gum
shot wound received at Cape Girau-
deau, Mo. Returning to this county
he engaged in farming, which he fol-
lowed until few years ago, when he
retired on account of advancing years
He was a son Of Jacob George, who
came to iowa in 1853 and in 1854 en-
tered 400 acres of land in this county

Odds and Ends.

III soda is put in rhubarb while cook
ing, it will remove the sharp taste,
but it will also remove the fine flavor
and soften the stalks into pulp.
When bottle of olives has been
opened, those not used can be kept
without losing taste and becoming
fiat by pouring tablespoonful of
olive oil over the top.
Many currant dishes are greatly
improved by the addition of red rasp-
berries. The black currant makes IA
delicious preserve, and served with
delicious cream makes a delightful
tea desert.
When trimming celery for the
table, save leaves and dry, then put
away to be used for soups. If to be
kept very long, they should be thor
oughly dried, crumbled into powder
and sealed up in a bottle or jar. Gel
cry seeds are good for soup. a tea
spoonful being a liberal quantity for
one making.
Raspberry syrup may be made by
heating the berries and straining off
the juice as for Jelly. To each pint
OF juice add a pint of sugar and juice
Of two lemons; let boil ten minutes,
skim and seal. 1t is excellent to
serve with hot cakes. or for flavoring
refreshing drinks, by the addition of
sufficient good vinegar or lemon juice
to make slightly acid.
The raspberry is a very desirable
fruit, for preserving and canning, as
it retains its flavor after cooking and
makes a handsome preserve or jam.
During the season of fresh fruits, it
lends itself to many fancy desserts
in combination with other foods. For
fruit juices to be used in summer
drinks, it can be used in combination
with the red currant with much
profit.

When Closets are Lacking.

There are so many ways of making
closets where none exist, that the
women who allows her eliot hes to
hang with no protection from dust
is becoming the exception. Where
there is a corner, or a space between
Il door and Il corner, it may be made
into first rate closet by putting up
q shelf rs long and as wide as you
wish, or as the space will allow. In
corners the shelf should be q tri-
angle. On the top of the shelf may
be set hat, or other boxes; and in
the under side of the shelf screw as
many hooks made for under sides
of shelves as you have room for
Then get a window shade as wide as
your shelf is long, and use as you
would Il shade, running it up and
down as needed. Or the front may
be closed with Il curtain, both top
ana bottom OF which may be held In
place by brass or other rod on
which it can be showed to and fro:
or the closing may be simply cur
tain, with rod for the top, the bot
tom end left free. If one is q careful
housewife and allows no vermin on
her bedding, a set of hooks may be
let into the back of the head of the
beadstcad, if the wooden frame is
used; but unless the bedding is kept
perfectly free from such pests, this
would not be advisable. Where it is
so easy to keep free from such things
however, no woman should allow
them to exist.
