OH@he wisdom Of
.CYNTHIAGREY

A good way to clean marble is to
wrap half of lemon in a little
piece of cotton cloth, dip it first
into warm water, then into pow
dered borax, and rub the marble
with the covered lemon. 1t will
remove all stains.
In shampooing the hair, never
rub the soap directly on the hair,
as it will gum and be very hard to
linse off. Always use liquid soap,
or soap shavings which have been
dissolved in hot water.
When the children begin to look
pallid without any apparent cause,
and if their sleeping rooms are
well ventilated at night, the pallor
is probably due to an anemic con-
dition of the blood. If this is true,
they are most susceptible to dis
ease germs, and a doctor should
be consulted. A good iron tonic
must be given.

RICH SUFFERING,
TOO, IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Rich and
poor alike are suffering from the
cold today. The majority Of the
coal yards of the city are down to
their last bunker and there Is little
likelihood of fuel supplies reaching
Chicago for many days.
The conditions existing among
the poor is pitiful and there can be
no relief until charitable organiza-
tons can secure fuel from some
source. Thousands of applications
for relief were received by the
police today, but none was forth
coming.

Lake City, April 1S.-At their last

of this city, took up the discussion of
the question of good roads. COM
mittee, consisting of H. w. Beacham
p. C. Carlson and P. A. Sanders, was
appointed by the club for deNising
some plan After due consideration this
special committee reported THAI the
ole was to inausurate contest, and
this the club as a whole decided to do
BY the conditions of the contest it
will continue from May / to Oct. Is,
and reports of all contestants must be
made to the secretary, p A. Sanders by
May 10. The road to be worked must
lie within three miles east. west or
north, or five miles south of Fafrlham M
Vile. A prize of $40 will be>awarded
for the best mile and So for the second
best mile. the following points to be
taken into consideration: the condi-
ton of the highway at the beginning of
the contest; the amount of work neceS-
sary to keep the roadbed in condition;
the general condition in which it is
kept during the term of the contest;
and the amount of permanent improve
ment resulting from the work ex-
pended.
This is the first time this plan has
ever been adopted in. this section of the
state to secure better highways, and if
it succeeds, as it doubtless will, it will
be taken up by other towns.

Special to mes-Republican.
Hampton, April 1S.-One of the big
ges. events in local history is to be the
meeting in this city on: Friday, May 13,
Of the Boone Valley High School Ath-
letic and iDeclamatory Association.
The territory embraced in this asso..
citation includes seven counties in the
north central. portion of the state, as
follows: ,Kossuth, Wright, Webster,
Humboldt, Hamilton, Cerro Gordo and
Franklin, and contestants from the
high school at Algon9, Clarion, Eagle
Grove, Fit. Dodge! Goldfeld, Humboldt,
Mason City, Webster City, Hampton
and perhaps other places will be here
to strive to get place among the win
ners of events. Already it is said that
the entries number close to $50.
Superintendent S. r. Fitz, Of the
Hampton schools, is secretary Of the
association, and is busy making the
arrangements for the big meet. A spe-
cial train is promised from FIT. Dodge
over the Great Western, also one from
Algona over the branch of the Iowa
Central, and it is likely that visitors
will flock here by hundreds on other
trains that day.
The program is now being made up
in 4 few days will be made public. The
coming of this event to Hampton will
probably attract more people to this
place than were ever assembled here
before. The problem of furnishing so
large a number of people with suffici-
ert to eat is one that calls for no
small amount Of preparation, but
Hampton will not disappoint her visit
ors on that score.

WOMAN AND BOY TAKE POISON.
Illicit Love Affair at Knoxville Results
Ia Double Suicide.

Illicit Love Affair at Knoxville Results
in Double Suicide.
Knoxville, April 1S.-Mrs Thomas
Slocun, about 40 years old, married
and the mother of two children, and
Willis Crabtree a boy of 10 years,
committed suicide late Saturday after
noon at the woman's homo by taking
strychnine.
The bodies were found by one Of the
children stretched on a bed in the
Woman's room. The woman was still
breathing when a physician arrived,
and fearing that the poison would not
prove fatal she seized a razors and
slashed her throat dying a moment
thereafter. Young Crabtree had died
before the physician arrived. The
woman's husband is a laboring man
and Is supposed to be. at work in the
country somewhere near here.
The Crabtree boy has been working
with paving gang here and recently
has been frequently in Mrs. Slocum's
company. In fact, he was in Jail twice
within the past two or three weeks on
charges growing out of his visits to the
Slocum home.
1t is believed that he had entered
into suicide pact with the woman be-
fore going to the home Saturday after
noon, as there was every indication
that the double tragedy had been de-
liberately planned. The poison, which
it is believed Crabtree carried with
him to the house, was swallowed with
in a short time after his arrival
there.
Neither he nor the Slocum woman
