Biddeford Journal: A neat little

Facts About Portsmouth" has recently
been issued. 1t contains many valua-
BILE facts and interesting statistics
Among the so facts" is one telling of
"Portsmouth's' fine navy yard. in
connection with New Hampshire claim
ing that the yard is in that state, some
people over there are now claiming
that the ship channel which is sup
posed to divide the two states is in the
back stream which passes under the
bridges connecting the island with the
Kittery shore, and in which the two
prison ships are moored. 1t is absurd
the claim that Portsmouth puts forth
in trying to make out that the kittery
navy yard is in Portsmouth. A large
percentage of the workmen on tbs
yard are residents Of Portsmouth, we
admit, but we must decline to admit
that the channel has been moved from
the front to the back side of the island

it, evidently with the determination to
have a nights lodging at any expense

ENTIRE FAMILY
 IS EXTERM|NAT[D Streng Evidence of a Quadrup'e
 Murder At Harper BODIES BURNED IN HOME George Hood, Son and Two Daughters Are Dead Rests on Re- Jected suitor. Young Coal
 Miner, Who Disappears.

Blueheld, w. Va, November 1.-The charred bodies of four members of the family of George Hood, an aged white man, were found today in the ruins of the Hood home at Harper. The house was destroyed by fire last night for the pur. pose, the police believe, of covering a quadruple murder, Robbery is supposed to have been the motive for the crime.
 Besides the old man those believed to have been murdered were his daughters, Emma and Caroline, and his son, Roy.
 Shortly before midnight Sunday. neigh bors of the Hoods were aroused by a bright glare that lighted the entire coun- tryside. Rushing to the scene they dis covered the Hood house wrapped in flames. the heat from which was too in tense to permit any effort to save any of the family inside.
 Investigation aktar the fire showed that old man Hood and his son Roy had been murdered by heavy blow with some instruments on the heads and that the two women, Caroline and Emma. had been drugged and left in the house to be burned with the father and brother.
 A coal mnier who had boon paying at- tontion to Caroline for some time and had been repeatedly ordered away from the house by the father has disappeared
 He spent Saturday night at the Hood home and left early Sunday morning at the command of old man Hood, but stat ed upon leaving that he, would be back again that day.

oneonta, November 1-(Special. )-The following words. which wefe bitten off and disseminated today in this city by Judge Samuel D. Weakley go to make up an admission, Blount county people take it, of one of the charges which the de- lenders of the constitution lay at the door of those who wied the power in this state:
 Who would have paid this N50,0O0 or S2o0,000 for these voters who have not paid their poll taxes?
 The brewers and distiliers would have sent their hrelngs through Alabama with their corruption fund to mislead the people, to get them to the polls, and thus put saloons again in this state.
 But we were too smart for them"
 These paragraphs were expressed in the final rejoinder of the debate today in which ex-Congressman sydney J. Bowie and Judge s. D. Weakley were engaged. MT, Bowie had charged that at d little caucus in Montgomery held some time ago the plot was matched to submit the amendment to the people at time when a great majority of them had not paid their poll taxes.

BIR MINGHAM CLUB DONATES MONEY
 FOR THE CANAL

Washington, November 1.--(Special J. Under six-word title. a small member skip with alternate vacancies In the list of officers, and etter-heads redundant with Biblical quotations, an orga nization at Birmingham has come to the rescue of the Panama canal Twice has it con tributed to the success of the isthmian project each time with an inclosure of a sure enough check made out on a New York bank to the credit of ''The Treas ury Department of the United States, at Washington, D. e.
 The amount of the check just received at the treasury is s25; the former check from the same source and for the same hgh-minded purpose was for the same amount. The organization, at least on it's letter-head, is capitalized with In terest and Concern. The $50 1t has passed along to the government has been placed in Uncle Sams coffers to the credit of the club with the expanding name.
 The letter follows, dated at Birming- ham;
 "rhe Peoples National Progressive Con solidated club, under charter of the state of Alabama Together we stand. divided we fall, together, interest. concern. Nal. 2:7 Hos. 4:6 Deut 3l :25-2S.
 ITO the Treasury Department of the - United States:
 'The Peoples National Progressive Con- solidated club sends twenty-five (s2o) dol lars, for the support of the government in the construction of the Panama canal for commerce. trade, etc.; s25 In full pay ment of the $50 donation hoping the re- suit will prove favorable to this club in the state of Alabama. Your obedient servant. H. S. HOWARD, Prest."
 The club of course, could put it's money to much better purpose in some other way. as Uncle sam has all he needs to build the canal.

CROSS HOGS, SAYS BREEDER
j.. G. COuIin, Iowa Pork Raiser, Says
His Hogs Never Die OF Cholera
for This Reason.

THE reason why hog diseases lose the
farmers so much money" SAYS j. G,
Coulin, a pork raiser from Tabor, Ia, lis
that the breeders make a speciality of some
one particular breed. By raising all Poland
China or all Berkshires, they get certain
qualities very highly developed, but they
don't get stock with good general health.
"a pure bred hog can sometimes be
fattened for market In nine or ten months,
while a cross bred animal may take a year
or more. My experience has been, however,
that although the cross bred hog is slower,
he is almost certain to get TO the market,
and that's more than can be said of the
pure bred ones. By breeding two strains
together, the pork is Of better quality, be.
cause It is better matured and Is healthier.
I nave never lost a dollar from cholera
when farmers all about me were seeing
their profits disappear in illness. II others
would follow my plan of crossing breeds.
there wouldn't be 80 much cholera nor
so much trouble with the inspectors nor
so much slckness among the people who
eat the pork"

four hours. Quantities OF beer and beer

and inmates had something besides the
rain in mind.

tiers. gave notice OF an appeal. The cases
OF the men arrested as inmates, had al
ready been disposed OF, most OF them being
given light fines.
