The blackened masses of half burned flesh and charred bones of the two women and the three chil- dren were found beneath the debris, each body bearing evidences of mur- der committed before the house was destroyed by. fire, evidently for the purpose of hiding the crime. The eld- CT woman's skull was upturned some distance from the remainder of her half-burned body amid the shoulder ing ruins.
 Another daughter of Mrs. Justis told the police that her mother had a large sum Of money buried under the sill of the house and they succeeded in digging up S950 in gold and silver. The murderers are supposed to have gotten the $500 which Aunt Betty always carried on her person.

There the footprints of three men were found impressed in the soft soil A posse of citizens, heavily arm ed, are following the bloodnounds, bent on lynching the murderers if they are captured.

Small breeders should never refuse

is better TO sell and be sorry than to
be sorry that they did not sell when
an opportunity was presented.

Men who are breeding and raising
carriage horses for the market should
remember that purchasers of that
class of animals are more critical
than formerly. and are becoming more
SO every year The best customers
for such animals are men of ample
means, who are willing to pay liber-
ally for animals that suit their fancy.
1t always pays to breed the best of
any class of animals, but this is es-
pecially true of carriage horses.
Many small breeders make mis-
take in keeping their colts entire,
thinking that they will prove valuable
for stock horses A colt that has the
qualifications for a successful sire of
speed will be valuable as a gelding,
and the cost of raising a gelding un-
til he is four or five years old is much
less than of raising stallion to that
age, for the geldings can run bare
footed at pasture during the summer
seasons, which insures better feet
than standing on plank floors, as the
majority of entire colts raised by
small breeders are compelled to do

At the rate scientists are discovering

man consumption it is likely to become
a serious question how a man may eat
at all and maintain healthy body. The
vegetarians have done their best to de
pict the terrors Of meat diet, and now
the yegetarians are confronted by a
Buffalo physician who has 1t all worked
out that vegetables cause cancer. Can
Ger, of and on, has been laid to to-
matoes, oysters and lager beer. Now
this physician, in paper read TO the
Buffalo Academy Of Medicine, lays it to
cabbage, celery, onions, lettuce and the
like. His contention is that the com
mon garden worm is the source OF the
parasite which produces cancer The
worm crawls over the vegetable, infect
ing the plant Even boiling it is de
clared, will not kill the parasite. Beset
on every hand by some terror, 1t seems
to be problem In this poor, old. germ
infected world whether to starve to
death or take one of the parasite or
bacili routes. There certainly Is rea-
son in nature, if we must accept all the
theories and discoveries" for the new
school of psychological dietarians which
holds that the cravings of appetite and
the inner man may be satisfied in the
main without any tangible. physical
form of food Once the psychological
theory Is established on practical
basis. however, watch out for somebody
to discover the germs Of measles, diph-
theria, appendicitis and lot more all
ments in the psychic waves that operate
