HER CRIME
SANITY OR MADNESS;

In the hamlet # Brownsville,
near WATERFOWL, Jas. D. Farmer
and his wife Mary lived in cot
tage next to the home of Henry
Brennan and his wife Sarah. The
families were friendly and they
went to the same church. The
women often exchanged calls. The
Brennans owned their own home;
the Farmers were renters. April
%, 1908, the neighbors saw Mrs.
Brennan enter the home of the
Farmers. 1t was near midday
Mrs. Brennan sat down to chat.
Mrs. Farmer, pretending to be
about her housework, came up
behind her guest and struck her
with an ak. Then, Mrs. Farmer
confesses, she cut up the body
and put the pieces in trunk.
Within an hour Jas. Farmer
and his wife were moving their
effects into the Brennan home.
They told the neighbors that Mrs.
Brennan had decided the place. to
them. When Brennan came home
from work in the paper mills
that night, he found himself
homeless. The farmers told him
his wife had decided the property
to them, and had run away with
the money they had paid her.
Brennan, thunderstruck, kept 81
lent for some time. Then he
went to look at the deed. Appar-
emily 1t was properly recorded.
But he discovered that 1t was a
forgery, and that the yelled wom-
an who had called on a notary to
sign the deed was not his wife.
This yelled woman later proved to
be Mrs. Farmer, who confessed
to the murder. Her husband.
James, was arrested with her, but
he claims he did not know of the
killing. However, he, too, Is al

FIXING up
LIGHTS ON
C STREET

City workmen of the Hight de-
partment today are fixing up the
cluster lights on @ street. They
were some time ago equipped with
Tungsten lamps but, being wrong
side up, they did not stand the jar
of street cars and nearly all of
them broke down and ceased to
give light.
Conditions have been getting
worse every night until last night
there was not a pole on the whole
street where all the lamps were
lighted.
City Electrician Lauzon has
been expecting developments look
ing to the installation of the big
electroliers all along G street in
stead of the cluster lights and has
delayed fixing up the lamps think
ing 1t might be possible to get
the change in systems inaugurat-
ed.
Petitions are now in circulation
for the change on Pacific avenue
and later they will be started on G
street. The electroliers would
do away with all poles on the
streets, excepting the ornamental
concrete or iron poles of the cleo
troliers. All wires would also
come down and be run in con-
Quits.

Oscar Larson, a logger from
Buckley, was robbed last night OF
his years savings, amounting to
$3.50, by a mulatto woman, who
is said to be resident of lower
Commerce street. Larson had
Just come to the city, with the in

He met the woman, according
to the story he told the police to-
day, on Fifteenth and Commerce,
and accompanied her home. The
couple became intoxicated from
liquor which the woman supplied,
and Larson returned to his room
in the Berkeley hotel with bad

was missing.

FAT is OUT OF STYLE

To paraphrase Caesars remark,
the directoire gown came-was
has conquered. So fat
ladies are reduced, SO to speak, to
the necessity of either reducing
at very rapid rate or eliminating
themselves from public view I'M
til the fashion dies out. Other
wise they risk being ridiculous.
Since many fat ladies will not
eliminate themselves, however,
but, per contra, will insist on
wearing the curveless gown, no
course Is open to this well-mean-
ling scribe other than to tell them
how they may eliminate the fat.
What is there, then, that re-
duces fat safely? What pleasant
inexpensive article is there on
druggists shelves that can reduce
la pound day without causing
wrinkles or stomach ache? What
can the pharmacists offer as an
improvement over scanty victuals
Tor ten mile walks without break
fast? Is there anything pleasant
Ito take and inexpensive to buy
that will reduce one uniformly,
quickly and innocently thirty
pounds a month? Here is the
answer: Either write the Mar
mola Company, Detroit. Mich, or
ask your local druggist for Mar
mola Prescription Tablets, and for
10 cents they or he will give you

ducars. containing so generous q

says the woman acted queerly
throughout her trial.
And here's the point of all this:
Is there nothing but stony-heart-
ed justice in the law, that
judges, lawyers, bailiffs, jury, and
Iall-can see a woman of defective
mind pass through its system
without even inquiring to know
whether the prisoner has a sound
mind?
Does it remain for priests in
this country to discover. while
they are almost in the very actJ of
granting extreme JUNCTION before
death, that the law has made a
mistake?
Father Hickey says Eyes, 1t
looks like it, for this woman is
insane.
"But, even II she isn't insane,
why take her life? 1t isn't so
much the taking of human life
that's so awful about the execu-
Ition of a woman. It's the obliter-
alton of motherhood, the most
sacred thing we know on this

he would use his influence with the

not complied with. This, considc5
