SiStanCe of the Diamant

FEEBLE MINDED WOMAN
BURNED IN EXPLOSION
Police Think She May Have Put
Oil on Her Clothes

OAKLAND, July 11.-Miss Clara
Burkfield, whom the police are told is
feeble minded, was burned this morn
ing in an explosion in the kitchen of
her home at 1869 Grove street. She is
now at the receiving hospital and the
surgeons say she cannot recover. There
is also a rumor that she poured oil on
her clothing, at the same time using
1t in the kitchen stove and causing an
explosion. Detectives are working on
this theory.
H. R. Cumming, who has explained
to the police that he was taking care
of the woman, was in an upper room
of the house at the time of the eXplo-
sion. 1t was due to his efforts that
she was not burned to a crisp. The
house was damaged to the extent
of $500.

MOST NEW CONCERNS FAIL.
Surprising Facts About the Patent
Medicine Business.

THE Fourth Estate has been
warming publishers about the risk in
allowing credit TO new medicine con-
Germs. 1t is said that there have been
only one or two of the thousands of
new proprietary medicine houses
that have made any considerable
money that have started the past
twenty years, and only a very few
more that have met with even mod
crate success. 1t is the general i'm
preston that the business is i'm
mensely profitable, while the facts
are that there is larger percentage
of failures than in any other line;
The new concerns usually start with
lots of confidence in the merit of
their goods and advertising, but soon
exhaust their capital, leaving dealers
who have stocked their medicines
with unstable goods on their shelves.
1t is the experience of many publish
ers that have accepted this new bust
ness that they have been compelled
to charge off their bills to profit and
loss.
There are many old and reliable
medicine houses that continue to do
a good or increasing business from
year to year, but the new ones are
finding it more and more difficult to
become established.

HUMAN HEAD A CENTURY OLD.
ZEBULON DOCTOR BRINGS GRUE-
SOME RELIC FROM ECUADOR.
Perfectly Preserved by a Secret Pro-
cess known to the Indians
OF South America.

A human head, treated with
some mysterious and now forgotten
process which held the features in
tact and rendered them impervious
to decay, is the somewhat gruesome
relic of a barbarous custom which
w. L. Beckham of Zebulon, Ga,
brought back with him as a souvenir
of his five months visit to Ecuador,
in South America.
According to Mr.. Beckham, the
process of preserving the human
head was secret of the Inca Indians
of South America.
When an Inca killed his enemy in
stead of scalping him he took off
his head, treated it with the pre-
serving process and hung it in his
tent as one of the trophies of war.
somewhat after the manner of the
North American Indian, who, how
ever, took only the scalp of his vic
tim instead of his entire head
In like manner, when an Inca
chief died, his head was removed
from the body, and, after being
treated to the peculiar process of
preservation, was set up at the head
of the grave as a sort of decoration
or ornament for the monument of
the deceased.
When the Incas were conquered
by the Spaniards the custom was

abandoned, and the secret of the
mysterious process remained a Sc
cret, for on that subject the mouth
of the Inca was closed
According to Mr.. Beckham, there
are only very few of the preserved
heads left in South America Those
that remain are guarded jealousy
by the few remaining members of
the Inca tribe. Mr.. Beckham states
that he secured three of the heads
The head which Mr.. Beckham has
was evidently that of an Indian. 1t
is greatly reduced in size, all the
bones having been removed, and the
skull is covered with thick black
hair nearly two feet in length. AL
though it is at least one hundred
years old all the features of the face
are, we'll defined.

NOW 1T is ONION KING.
Pungent Bulbs Raising New Crop
of MiIlionaireS.

of MiIliOnaireS.
The Bermuda onion harvest in the
section around Laredo, Tex, is now
under way, and the crop is the
largest in the history of the industry
there. The profits are enormous, and
comfortable fortunes have been made
off of a few acres in a single year
The net returns run from $3.50 to
$500 per acre. The expense of grow
ing the crop is large, however, aver
aging from $3.50 to 5000 per acre,
where intense cultivation is practiced.
All the onions are raised by means
of irrigation. The cost of water per
season is about $40 per acre. The
supply is obtained from the Rio
Grande by means of pumping. The
onion industry has caused a wonder
full change in this border town dur
ing the last five or six years. 1t has
brought wealth to the homes of many
people who formerly were poor The
Mexican laborers have been lifted
out of poverty by the good wages
that are paid and the constant work
that is given them upon the onion
farms.
Before the discovery was made that
the soil and climate of that section
were ideally suited to successful
onion growing the land thereabouts
was valued at $3.50 to 50 per acre.
This same land is now valued at 500
to $500 per acre, and none of it is
for sale. If present conditions and
prices prevail the near future should
see new crop of milliOnaires. On
ion kings may be as plentiful in fu-
ture as wheat kings or cotton kings.

BABY TIED UP RAILROAD.
Frantic Mother Kept Wires Hot Till
Line Was Clear of Infant.

Mrs. Mary Crown forgot all about
her baby, left it in a passenger coach
of the Virginia Railway and did not
remember it again until it was 80
miles out from Norfolk.
When the mother discovered that
the train had departed with her baby
she made officials around the station
burn" the wires to head it off. She
had the train stopped at Chapman
Junction, and the baby was delivered
into the hands of the authorities at
the town to hold until the mother
could arrive.
Other trains as a result of the tie
up of the passenger with the baby on
board, were obliged to take sidings
until the line was clear of the infant.
AS a result the entire system was
temporarily tied up-all on account
of one little mite of humanity.
