FIND WOMAN MURDERED
Body, Throat Cut, Is Found Near the Home of Alexander Brown in
 Suburb of Baltimore.

Baltimore, Md.-The body of Mrs Al Merrick. a handsome young wom- an, with the throat slashed from ear to ear, was found on the beautiful suburban estate of Alexander Brown, millionaire Baltimore banker, Monday morning.
 Mrs Merrick's body lay on rising ground about 100 yards from a little stream that runs through the estate. The ground was trampled down, evi- dently by a woman and a man, giving plenty of evidence that a prolonged struggle had taken place.
 From the spot where Mrs. Merrick lay, all the way to the brook, the po- lice found a thin trail of blood, which leads them to the view that her as- sailant cut himself in the struggle and then hurried down to the brook to wash his hands and bind up his wounds.

BULGARIA SEEKING FIGHT
Believing Their Army Invincible, Peo- Pie Are Bent on Trying Con-
 clusions With Turkey.

Paris, France.-Another dangerous crisis in the Balkans has been mar rowly, but, perhaps, temporarily averted, according to the views in well-informed diplomatic circles here. where for months it has been an open secret that Bulgaria was determined to try conclusions with Turkey over the question of Macfiedonia, either to win the Province outright or at least to secure autonomy for the remainder of European Turkey.
 Bulgaria for years has made tre- mendous sacrifices to equip and train the model army which she now pos sesses. always with the idea of the inevitable war with Turkey ahead of her The Bulgarian people have gradually become imbued with the be lief that their army is invincible and the acquisition of their own indepen- denee has left them dissatisfied that their Christian brothers in Macedonia should remain under Turkey.

Has High Value.

In addition to the hickory which is made directly into these special forms. there is manufactured each year about 200,000,000 feet of hickory lumber, most of which is later remanufactured The total quantity of hickory cut in the United States each year is there fore equivalent to not less than 330,- ooo, ,00o board feet According to the reports of the bureau of census, the average value of hickory lumber at the mill is about $30 per thousand, while the high-grade material which is nee. essary for the special uses listed above is worth at least $50 per thousand This makes the total value at the mill of the annual hickory production not less than $12,000,000

BUMPER CROP EXPECTED.
Apple Orchards in Benton County Arc
 Looking Fine.

Rogers.GThe weather here for the past week has been ideal for farm work, and much has been accomplished by farmers and orehardists in the way of catching up with their work. Nearly all of the spring blowing has been completed, and everything is in fine shape for bountiful crops. A large acreage of oats has been sown, and corn land has been well prepared for plant ing, which will begin in earnest at an early date.
 The past week has been the warmest ever known in March, and pastures are green and foliage is fast putting out. Peach, plum and apple trees are begin ming to bloom, and indicaticss af sum- mertime can be seen on every side.
 Reports come from every portion of the county to the effect that the apple orchards are in fine shape and indicate heavy bloom. If nothing further oc- CUTS to injure the buds Benton county will have the biggest apple crop ever known The acreage of trees is the largest ever had. and the orehardists are smiling over the bright prospects, for a bumper yield. While the recent freeze damaged the peach crop very se- verely, it now develops that there will be a small crop of Elhertas, while the seedlings will be full. With over 6,000,- 0o0 apple trees in the county, most of which are bearing, it would require time to estimate what the present crop yield will reach, figuring from the bright outlook at this time.

ARKANSAS HICKORY
STATISTICS SHOW THAT STATE
 LEADS IN PRODUCTION.
Supply is Diminishing While the De mand and Price is On the
 Increase

Little Roek.-Figures made public in a recent report by the United States Department of Agriculture show that the hickory production of the State of Arkansas is greater than that of any other state.
 In the last few yeas the users of hickory have become very much alarm ed over the decreasing supply; so far, however, it has been impossible to get satisfactory statistics either of the to- tai quantity of hickory yet standing in the forests or of the amount used each year. This is partly because a great deal of hickory is cut by small port able or by stationary mills, which. af ter consuming all the timber within q radius of from two to eight miles, are either sold or moved to new points Much hickory is also split into biIIets for spokes handles, etc, instead of being sawed into lumber. Altogether. therefore, it Is extremely difficult to make even a fair estimate eff the total hickory consumption.
 Many Users of Hickory.
 While the figures gathered by the association and the department are not as complete as were desired, they are at least significant. Hickory is espe- eially sought for the manufacture of vehicle parts and of handles, in which great strength and toughness, togeth- CT with moderate weight, are essential. It is estimated that, in the manufae- ture of their special products, the hiek- ory5using establishments consume the equivalent of the following:

VIRGINIA BAND WINS FIRST PRIZE
In the Band Competition at the Big Mid
Summer Day Carnival at haShWauk.

While the Virginia City band is a
youthful organization, and while al
the time of it's birth it was contend.
ed by some that it would amount tC
naught unless an outside director
and instructor were put in charge
it would appear there must be an
unusual amount of native talent in
the individual members or there
must be some ability in Director
Frank Meehan. or both, inasmuch
as the Virginia organization won
first prize in the band contest at the
big midsummer day picnic al
Nashwauk on Friday last.
The Virginia City Band is Ger
taiuly bringing credit alike upon

only is this recognized through ite
coupe at Nashwauk, but by the citi

Play Ball.

The belated ball game, which has
been dead issue in Virginia since
the close of the season of 1908 when
Virginia captured everything in
sight on the range and in the north
country, is scheduled to again make
its appearance in three days. ses-
sion at the new ball park commence
ing on Sunday, the opposing teams
being the reorganized Virginia
team and the Two Harbors boys.
The new ball park, occupying a
prominent field just across the steel
bridge between Virginia and Silver
lakes, is being rapidly put in shape
for the fray, great amount of work
being done in leveling and improv-
ing the new cite and erecting fence
and grand stand.
The Two Harbors bunch is reput-
ed to be one of the best teams in
this neck-o'-the-woods this year, and
fans may expect lively games for
the three days, as the Virginia ag-
gregation comprises number of
the best to be had.
1t will be a welcome sound to Vir.
ginians to again hear the umpire
make his fret announcement Of
"Play Ball." and there will be a
crowd on deck to see that the op-
posing teams play their best.

TO SETTLE SPECIAL JUDGESnIP
J. H. Fleming Served With Notice TO Show
Cause Why He Should Not Vacate Office

On Tuesday R. c. Pickering caus-
ed papers to be served in the case
of the State of Minnesota ex rel At
torney General Simpson VS.. James
H. Fleming, in quo warranto pro-
ceedings, citing the defendant to
show cause before the supreme
court on July 9Th why he should
not vacate the position of special
judge of the municipal court of
Virginia.
The action is one arising from a
question of whether the Virginia
Home Rule Charter supersedes the
general statute in provisions GOV
erning the local court. Prior to the
adoption of the Charter, which by
proviso declares vacant all city Of
fees upon certain date, Mr.. Flem.
ing had been elected as special m u.
nicipal judge for a term expiring
December 81, 1910, and at the time
of the first election under the new
charter did not file for reelection
contending that he held during the
balance of his unexpired term. AT
this election Mr.. Pickering filed fo1
the position and was declared az
elected by the returning board, but
has been denied the right to accep,
or perform the duties of the Office
by Mr.. Fleming.
The action is not one of great i'm
portance from a financial stand
point to either of the parties there
to, and 1ts outcome depends solely
upon the construction of points o1
law by the supreme tribunal.
Andrew Nelson, OF Duluth, will
appear in behalf of Mr.. Fleming
while Arnold & Pickering will be O.
counsel for the plaintiff.
