protesting his own innocence. he
stated that his brothers, William and
Archibald had murdered Fisher; that
they had killed him, without his
(He4ry's) knowledge at the time, ana
made a temporary concealment OF his
body; that, Immediately preceding his
and Williams departure from Spring
field for home, on Tuesday, the day
after Fishers disappearance. William
and Archibald communicated the fact
to him. and engaged his assistance in
making q permanent concealment OF
the body; that. at the time he and
William left professedly for home.
they did not take the road directly.
but, meandering their way through
the streets, entered the woods at the
northwest of the city. 200 or 800 yards
to the right Of where the road they
should have travelled. entered them;
that, penetrating the woods some few
hundred yards, they halted, and Arch
ibald came a somewhat different route,
on foot, and joined them; that Will
liam and Archibald then stationed him
(Henry) on an old and disused road
that ran near by. as a sentinel. to give
warning of the approach OF any in
truder; that William and Archibald
then removed the buggy TO the edge Of
a dense brush thicket. about 40 yards
distant from his (Henry's) position.
where. leaving the buggy, they entered
the thicket, and in a few minutes re-
turned with the body, and placed 1t in
the buggy; that from his station he

size OF Fisher; that william and Arch

returned, saying they had put him In a
safe place; that Archibald then left
for town, and he and William found
their way to the road. and made for
their homes.
AT this disclosure. all lingering
credulity was broken down, and ex-
citement rose to an almost inconceiv-
able height. Up to this time, the we'll
known character of Archibald had re-
PEELED and put down all suspicious as
to him. But now, he was seized and
thrown into jaii and indeed. it was
the safest place for him.
"And now came the search for the
brush and thicket. and the search of
the mill pond. The thicket was found,

Fisher was in very feeble health. and
could give no rational accounts as to
where he had been during his abb
sence; that he (Gilmore) then start
ed in pursuit of the officer, as before
stated; and that he should have taken
Fisher with him. only that the state
of his health did not permit.
There was about DR.. Gilmore so
much of the air and manner OF truth,
that his statement prevailed in the
minds of the audience and of the

charged. although they attempted no

Brown county. wife and 13-year-old
daughter we're rescued from a storm
cave or cellar where for l3 days they
rad been imprisoned. They were al
most famished when. found and had
lived on raw potatoes for six OF the
days OF their terrible experience in
the almost alright compartment.
where they had worked like men In q
mine trying to dig their way to FREQ

The storm which swept over Brown
county two weeks ago wrecked the
Dilsen home and moved the house
from its site about SO feet. planting II
over the storm cellar and blocking
the only exit from the cave. which
was eight feet deep and 12 feet by
10 feet square. With the approach
OF the cyclone the family had rushed
to the storm cellar. taking with them
only a few biscuits. some jam and
a three-quart can OF water.
In the cellar were stored some POI
tatoes. Finding their escape cut on
after the storm the prisoners were pa.
tient for two days. hoping neighbors
would rescue them. Then they tried
to dig their way out through the one
side not boarded up and with their
hands dug a channel 10 feet long. but
IL caved in. Rescuers found the
farmhouse wrecked and presumed the
family had left the country.

EnuIne Potato pIaaer.

Columbus. lnd.-Nobody ever heard
of a horse digging potatoes until Wal
ter Rynerson. a local attorney.
brought out a story of that kind. and
now he is trying TO get a patent ON
the horse.
The other day he turned his horse
into the lawn to Craze. and instead
of keeping on the grass the horse
jumped a fence and entered potato
patch. There II began to roll and
kick. selecting hills containing pota-
toes for It's kicking.
At the first attempt the animal
kicked "a potatoes out of one hill.
This seemed TO please Il consider.

leading up to the attempted murder

AS To A MODEL WIFE.
MAKE MEMBERS OF PHILADELPHIA
CONGREGATION EXPRESS
THEIR VIEWS,

Some interesting ma ;culine views as
to what constitutes an ideal helpmate
were stated Sunday evening by the
Rev. DR.. Forrest E. Dagger, of st. Paups
Reformed Episcopal Church, who
preached ga model VIE" At his re-
quest various male members of the con-
gregation sent him letters expressing
their opinions on this interesting sub
ject, and these he read, to the great
wonder and edification of the large
number of women present. Some of
the views expressed follow:
An ideal wife would not spend $25 a
week on $40 salary.
One that does not spend three parts
OF her time gadding with the neigh
bors.
One that has the breakfast dishes
washed when her husband comes home
for supper.
One who keeps her home neat and
tidy.
One who does not harass the life and
soul out of man.
One who enjoys his prosperity and
is ready to sympathize with him in
adversely, and helps to make the home
happy.
One who thinks more of her children
than bull pup.
A woman with more gray matter in
her upper story than red paint on her
busy-body face.
A woman who dresses we'll is remem-
bered more for herself than her clothes,
A woman who cares more for her
home and children than for afternoon
bridges and parties.
A woman who realizes the value of
peroxides as disinfectant, not as a
hair dye.
A woman who does not consider her
home complete when it consists of her
self, her husband, and dog.
A woman who reads, understands, |
and obeys her Bible.
Dr. Dagger in his sermon advocated |
combination of the ideas presented.

husband arrives home, love her child

Will Greatly Aid Hookworm Cam
paign.

The announcement is made by John
D. Rockefeller that he had given
81, ,OOO, 10000 to national campaign
against hookworm disease was welcome
news to the State Department Of Health
at Richmond. The Department, which
has been carrying on an investigation
of hookworm during the last twelve
months, has declared it's purpose to CO.
operate with the experts sent out by
the Rockefeller organization. Every
effort will be made to stamp out the
disease from the State.
Health officials state that while hook
worm has not done the damage in Vir-
ginia that it has inflicted in other
States, it has nevertheless been consid-
cred menace to the State. The work
done by the Health Department DUR
ing past summer demonstrated the fact
that hookworm disease is pre- valent in
Virginia. More than 200 cases were
unearthed by experts of the health de-
partment in small area, and other
districts were under suspicion.
In announcing cooperation with Mr..
Rockefeller's board, the Health Com
missioner has made the following state
ment: "Mr. Rockefeller's gift will
mean much in Virginia. Within a
few years, we confidently hope to see
this disease eradicated. Our Hook
worm Bulletin, published in Septem-
Der of this year, and the supplemental
ry report, published in October, have
put the facts before the people. If they
will act upon these suggestions, they
can aid in the work undertaken in their
behalf by Mr.. Rockefeller's bounty"

A "RoAsT"FoR SENATOR SCOTT
ALSO FEW WARM REMARKS FOR
SENATOR ELKINS-THE MARYLAND
CONVENTION.

ALSO A FEW WARM REMARKS FOR
SENATOR ELKINs-THE MARYLAND
CONVENTION.
The paid press agents engaged in
boosting Senator n. B. Scott for anOth-
er term in the Senate where he has so
long disgraced the State of West Vir-
ginia, are busy sending wonderful tales
of what he has been able to accomplish
in the Senate and for the State. These
stories are sickening to those who know
anything of the misfit who has been
sent to Washington to misrepresent the
State and its people.
Scotty went there in the first place
through the lavish use of money. He
has remained there because he is liberal
with the coin in all elections and under
all circumstances. He is popular with
many members of his party, because he
will loosen.
Elkins is a tight wad. He rarely
spends anything and he is not liked by
the grafters. However, he is wise and
and he is powerful. He is feared be-
cause he never forgets wrong. He
never remembers favor, but this does
not do him any particular harm.
1t is safe to say that Scotty would |
never have been heard of for the Senate
without his vast wealth. His ability
would not entitle him to election as a
justice of the peace. But his party will
again give him an Endorsement in the
next campaign because he has pocket
book always open and chechbook
which does not take vacation.
These are facts, and the claims conf
,erning his transcendent ability are the |:
purest mo0nshine. He would have
