Albany. Jan. I3.-Notice given in each house
OF the Legislature to-day that caucuses for the
choice of a United States Senator TO succeed
Thomas c. Platt would be held next Monday night.
on Tuesday each house will vote for its choice, and
Wednesday at noon the houses Will meet and by

Elihu Root, OF purse. will be the choice OF the
Legislature. although there is talk that one
two Republican members may try TO produce
some trouble in the caucuses.
There is considerable uncertainty who shall
have the rather empty honor of being the Demo-
cratic candidate. The Tammany contingent seems
TO incline toward Lewis Nixon. MIR. Frsbie, the
minority leader of the Assembly, said that there
would be no decision until the caucus OF Monday
night
'Eut II will be some of the stamp of Sera tor
Hi or Judge Parker" he said 1T might easily be
that the caucus would follow the of select
ing the last Democratic candidate for Governor,
Mr. Chaner."
IS rather interesting that up TO date nobody
has mentioned the name of State Chairman Con-
ners.

FARMERS BULLETIN NO. 800.

Hon. Wyatt Aiken Is now distrib-
uting 10000 bulletins from the De-
partment of Agriculture on the sub
ject of Canning Vegetables in the
Home" This pamphlet Is known as
Farmers Bulletin No. 359." The
bulletin was prepared by J. f. Brea-
zeale, Of the Bureau of Chemistry.
While we have not had sufficient
time to read and digest this PAM
phlet, still casual perusal of it's
contents Is sufficient to justify rec
ommendation to all farmers, and
those who have fruits Of any kind,
and vegetables to spare, that they
procure and study carefully this lit
tie treatise on a very live and valua-
BILE topic. The subjects treated are:
The Sciene Of Sterilization.
Exclusion of the Air.
So-called preserving Powders"
Kinds of Jars.
Containers for Sterilizing.
Selection and Preparation Of Veg
etables.
Then follow short articles in ref
erence to the canning of the follow
ing vegetables: Corn, string beans,
egg plant, beets, okra or gumbo,
summer squash, English peas, as
paragus, caulihower, carrots and
parsnips, tomatoes, kohl-rabi, lima
beans, pumpkin or winter squash,
succotash, vegetable roast.
The pamphlet closes with short
talks on Freshness of flavor and
color" How to open a jar" and
'Cautions.' If you do not happen to
receive one Of these bulletins, we
suggest that you write Congressman
Aiken for one.

heart. which we have too long neg
lected
We know Of no better plan than
for our ministerial friends to take
upon themselves the initiative in or
ganizing a live Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, and
we suggest that the pastors of Wal
halla take up the work Immediately.
Their influence with the leaders in
their respective denominations will
have a weight that could not be
brought to bear from any other
sour,".
The laws will be provided and they
will be enforced, but they will need
back Of them a concerted effort, a
united sentiment, to make them all
that they should be. We ask our
pastors to take the matter in hand
and form an organization large
enough to insure active and inter-
ested members in every section of
town, and thus secure from the very
start backing for stringent laws on
this subject. No laws can be of full
value unless backed largely by the
sentiment Of the people. Knowing
our pastors as we do, we predict an
active S. P. G. A. in our midst be-
fore the first day Of July

wish to call your special attention to
our Wheels. Everybody knows that
the life of any vehicle depends large

Hickory-the kind that all wheel
builders say is superior to that found
anywhere else. Besides, only skilled
workmen are employed in the con-
struction Of these Buggies through
out.

G. RUFF KILLS NEIGHBOR.
Orlando Wicker, His Friend, Victim
OF "Unloaded Pistol

Newberry, June 2O.-2A deplora-
BILE affair occurred in the st. Phillips
section of this county, about ten
miles from the court house, on the
Pomaria road, this morning between
8 and 8 o'clock, which resulted In
the killing of r. Orlando Wicker, a
young man Of about 23 years of age,
by Caldwell Ruff. The shooting is
said to have been accidental. Wicker,
the young man killed, was a bache-
lor Ruff, who did the shooting, IL
a young married man about 25 years
of age.
Coroner Felker was telephoned for
and left Immediately for The Ruff
home, where an inquest was held.
From the testimony it seems that
young Wicker was in the habit of
occasionally visiting Mr.. Ruff, they
living only about a half mile apart,
and being distantly related. This
morning he called at the Ruff home
about 8 o'clock where he, Caldwell
Ruff, Loamma Ruff and John Nance
sat on the piazza and chatted for
half all hour pleasantly. No argu-
ment or dispute whatever took place
between any Of them, when Cald-
we'll Ruff got up and walked into the
house, returning shortly. AS he
reached the door leading on to the
piazza where Wicker was sitting the
pistol was discharged. No one had
observed the pistol in Ruff's hands
and no mention Of one had been
made.
The ball from the pistol struck
Wicker in the right side Of the neck
passing through the carotid artery,
causing instant death. When the
pistol was fired, Mr.. Ruff unbreach-
ed the weapon and said, Lord, |
didn't know the pistol was loaded"
AS soon as young Wicker died,
Caldwell Ruff disappeared, and at
this time has not been apprehended
but it Is understood that assurances
were given that he would surrender
by tomorrow, when application will
be made for bail.
The verdict Of the coroner's Jury
was that T. o. Wicker came to his
death by pistol shot wound acct
dentally caused by a pistol in the
hands of Caldwell Ruff.
Both families are prominent and
are good people, and the affair is
very much regretted.

ed in a wreck on the Chicago, Lake
Shore and South Bend railroad in
Porter county, Indiana, last night
two of the big electric cars colliding
head-on. According to General Man

received Instructions at Gary to wait
at Wilson, 4 short distance west of
Baileytown, the point at which the
disaster occurred, for the westbound
car to pass. The impact Of the cars
was so great that they were reduced
to mass of wreckage.
Going Fifty Miles an Hour.
The eastbound car, running as
train No. SO, it is stated, was going
at the rate Of fifty miles an hour to
make up lost time. When the crash
occurred, the eastbound car was tele-
scOped and almost entirely wrecked
In this train were all Of the killed
and most of the injured passengers
while those on train No. 5S, west
bound, escaped with slight bruises
and scratches.
The scene of the wreck, immedi-
ately after the crash, was described
by eye-witnesses as being terrible.
The two cars were welded together
in mass Of debris in which the ten
dead and dying and the two-score
injured were.
The cries and appeals for help
were horrifying. and caused a scene
of utter confusion.
