She was arraigned before Mayor

after the blaze had got good start,
rushed from home and cried to the
neighbors that the building was afire.
When the bodies of the two boys
were found the skulls of both were
crushed and their forms are said to
have lain in such position as to
prove that they were dead when the
flames originated. The fire occurred
shortly after midnight. At that time
Mrs. Sonnecalf ran screaming to the

WANTS ECONOMY
AND EFFICIENCY
POSTMASTER GENERAL MAKES
REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF
INQUIRIES INTO DEFICIT.
THE RURAL DELIVERY SERVICE
In Twelve Years II Has Developed
from an Experiment to One Of
the Largest Branches Of
Postal Department.

Washington, d. C.-Confronted with
a deficit of s17,479,77O, the pres
ent administration of the postoffice
department began its operations.
This was the largest deficit in the
history of the postal service. So
long as the deficit in the department
aggregated only few million of dol
lars annually little attention was paid
to it; but when, in the last few years.
it leaped to upward of S10,000.000, and
finally, in 1909, exceeded $4,000, 900,
ordinary business prudence suggest
ed that the causes be definitely
located"
These are statements in the annual
report of Postmaster General Frank
II. Hitchcock, just made public. Con-
cerning the results Of inquiries into
the deficit, the postmaster general
says:
Recent investigations have shown
that the two great sources of loss to
the postal revenues are second-class
mail matter and rural delivery.
simultaneously with the growing
deficit in the postal service, the ma
tion's income suffered last year seri-
Gus depletion incident to the financial
depression. Thus it happened that the
departments drafts on the treasury
were heaviest at time when the pub
lie funds were lowest. This has ac-
centuated the Importance of the postal
deficit, making it conspicuous among
the losses to be met by the presidents 8
In o1l
executive departments. Since the
opening of the administration the
postmaster general and his assistants
have adopted measures in conformity
with the presidents policy of re-
trenchment, and these measures are
being put into effect with substantial
results.
1T should be stated with emphasis,
however, that economy is not to be
enforced at the cost efficiency.
THE rural delivery service has de-
veloped in IL years from an expert
ment requiring an appropriation of
| $40, 900 to one of the laBgest branches
of the postal establishment, with an
annual expenditure exceeding $50, ,000,-

TWO SLAIN IN THEIR HOME

dered and the People Are
Aroused.

Washington, Ind.-The Rev. Will
liam Ritter and his aged wife were
found murdered in their home half a
mile east of Elnora, this county, and
the entire county is aroused to fever
of excitement.
The wife was found lying full
length upon the floor. She was in her
bare feet and had probably made
ready to retire when the crime was
committed. There are no marks upon
her body and many believe she was
choked to death. The body of the
aged minister was found in the cellar
at the foot of the stairway. He was
lying in heap, as If he had been
thrown down stairs. Both bodies
were stiff, and there is no way Of
telling when the double crime was
committed.

Heat as Universal Cure.

There is no family comforter like
the hot-water bottle, and heat, wheth-
er in liquid or dry form, in poultices,
lamentations or baked fanuel, is a
household friend.
There are few home ailments that
cannot be eased by heat. For ear
ache or toothache nothing is better
than the hot-water bottle or lying on
bags of hot bran or holding mouth
full of hot witchhaZel and Swinging
the ear with warm water.
Bruises and sprains are relieved by
putting them at once in water as hot
as can be borne. Sleeplessness is oft
en- routed by cloths wrung out Of hpt

COOK GIVEN ANOTHER BLOW
Committee Says Doctor Hoaxed Pub
lie in His Mount Mckinley Climb
cIaim-Dropped from Club.

New York City.-Dr. Frederick A.
Cook got the grand slam for the
second time in one week when the
board of governors of the Explorers
club received report from special
committee to the effect that Dr..
Cook deliberately hoaxed the public
when he claimed that he climbed
Mount Mckinley in 1906. The board
thereupon announced his expulsion.
The special committee was named to
investigate Cooks story regarding the
ascent at a time two months ago
when his story of reaching the pole
was beginning to crumble under in.
quiry and scientific deduction.
In it's report the committee unani-
mously decided that after an exhaust
i've investigation covering six weeks it
had been unable to find any proof
whatever that Cook ever climbed
Mount Mckinley
The committee as whole therefore
concludes in part that DR.. Cooks
as to be unconvincing to the expert
enced mountaineer, but that under an
analysis it becomes incredible. That
he entered into a secret financial
agreement with publisher which re-
suited in embarrassment to his asso-
ciates. That he broke his agreement
with his fellow club members to sup
ply his original photographs and data
upon which his book was based"
