BATTLE CREEK MAN KILLS
RIVAL WHO WRECKED HIS HOME

His House In Los Angeles.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Oct. 81
J. Howard Green, graduate from the
University of Michigan, and formerly
president of the executive board ~
the Independent Congregational
church of this city. shot and Killed
Thomas d. Skidmore. . graduate
from the Adventist college in this
city. In Los Angeles, Gal. Friday
night. Skidmore became acquainted
with Green's wife before her mar
riage and had forced his attentions
upon her for the past 80 years.
Twenty-Five years ago, wearfed BY
the persistence OF his former rival,
ard thinking that perhaps his wife
refrigerated Skidmore's affection, Mr..
Green attempted to take his own HE,
but was prevented. Immediately az
terward Skidmore left this city and
went to Texas. He married and for
several years nothing was heard Of
him. Then he paid an unexpected
visit to Battle Creek and spent sew
eral weeks at the Green home, the
guest Of Mrs. Green. II is said. Mr..
Green's wish to avoid trouble, say his
friends, led him to allow Skidmore
to remain q guest at his home, and
for many years Skidmore paid repeat
ed visits to the home.
Four months ago Mr.. and Mrs. Green
left this city for Los Angeles, where
Mr.. Green entered the law business
with Leslie Clawson. The couples
daughter, Hazel, q prominent member
of local society, stayed here, as she
had taken up position In the local
high school as teacher of domestic
science.
According to word received here,
Skidmore, the father OF eight children,
whose wife is living, followed the cou-
pie to Los Angeles from his home In
Texas.
Friday night Mr.. Green returned
from his ONCE and found Skidmore
visiting his wife. He entered his
room, returned with n revolver and
fred two shots, both bullets entering
Skidmore's body.
The police were summoned by Mr..
Green, and Skidmore, who remained
conscious until his death, q few hours
later. made statement In which he
declared that Mr.. Green was justified
In shooting him. After his death the
police found a note In q pocket Of Skid
mores coat, in which Mrs. Green de-
clared that he must pass out of her
life"

Religion Not Leading Factor.
Neither does the question OF re-

troversy In Spain. Most Spaniards are
Catholics. and they all remain Cath
olics however the Church and State
quarrel may end. SO II Is not because
IL fears any loosering In It's spiritual
grip upon the people that the Church
Is getting ready TO fight.
The Spanish church, considering the
extent OF its field, is the most power
full commercial organization In the
world. Fully one-third of the coun-
try's wealth is In the church's hand1.
There Ia hardly an industry in
which the church il not extensively
engaged-mining. manufacturing and
the operation of steamship lines be-
ing instances of its commercialism. In
the single city Of Barcelona there are
259 "concents." as Spaniards call every
sort OF religious community house,
whether for men or women. Not one
but Is busy along lines which bring
them into direct competition with the
laity. The members Of the orders"
do practically all the work In all these
industries for no wages beyond sup
port In their various community
houses SO that the 10 or market is
disorganized. ThIy are untaxed. and
taxation being tremendously heavy in
Spain, the advantage this gives them
makes competition hopeless. And in-
ally. the government pays them ap-
proximately one-tenth of 1t as entire
revenues.
A vested interest so vastly favored,
the church simply cannot AFFORD to
yield.
Yet q point has been reached where
the people must have relief or starve.
Three pecatas a day, or about 81 ceuts.
IL high pay for skilled workmen. The
striking miners Of Bilbao had been
getting approximately AZ cents before
they walked out. Common labor
brings about q cents. And living In
Spain is not appreciably cheaper than
in the United States.

INDIANS GIVE WAY
TO MODERN IDEAS
Government improvements Will
Force Guides 70 Quit Shooting 800
Rapids In Canoes for Revenue.
sAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Oct. 8.

sAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Oct 3.
Shooting the rapids of the st.
Mary's river In a canoe under the d.
rection of skiller Indian pilots and
guides will soon be thing Of the past.
It Is An celebrating sensation that
has been experienced at Sault Ste.
Marie by thousands of tourists from
all over the country.
Year after year for the past half
century the government has been en-
preaching more and more on the rap
ids until the falls of the st. Mary have
lost not only much of their pristine
beauty but their fierceness as well.
The channel formerly followed by the
Indians In taking their passengers
over the treacherous fall Is now walled
In by q dyke, and the water therein
fiows smoothly down a canal to fur
nish current for lighting the city and
the many varied industries using cleo
trio power. Now, In the progress of
civilization and In aid Of the great
interests of navigation, the govern
ment is to make further encroach-
ments which will compel the Indian
guides to seek employment other than
than of shooting the rapids, which has
for years been their chief source OF
revenue.
The contract recently awarded to
Macarthur Bros, Of Chicago, for. exca-
waiting q new canal also calls for the
construction of q dyke from the fourth
span Of the International railroad
bridge to below the plant of the Ed
SON Sauit Electric company. and the
tearing out Of the present north dyke
of the Edison company's canal. which
takes in but two spans OF the bridge.
The new dyke will be outside OF ISL
ands No. and In the middle OF the
rapids and will be 30 cloes to the
imaginary boundary line that II one Is
intrepid enough to risk trip over
the rapids he will be compelled to
what Is known as the big jump or the
big falls. This IL the same route taken
q few years ago by. John Trombley, a
lockman at the canal. and which came
near being his last trip on earth.
Trombley was fishing In row boat
when one of his oars broke In the
swift current. and he was rendered
helpless against the angry waters OF
the rapids. He was swept over the
falls and when he came TO the big
Jump his boat was suspended, turn
ing a sommersault, landing bottom
side up. When the boat came out of
the seething whirlpool Trombley was
seen lying nat on the bottom-side OF
the little craft and clinging to Its
sides. How he got In that position
mr. saved himself when the boat up
ended 10 something that he himself
has never been able to explain. IT
was a miracle that his life was spared.
Il IL not likely, then, that anyone Is
going to voluntarily risk his HE IN
making the leap. hence the statement
that the days for shooting the rapids
are drawing to close and VIII soon
be a thing of the past.

4 Curious Pavement.

Before the Mexican war, when Alta
California still formed part of Mex
leo, Monterey was it's capital city, and
for a long period Monterey bay af-
forded fishing grounds for a consider
able number of whalers. But, while
the bay still provides sport and profit
for many fishermen, it is no longer
the habitat Of any great number of
whales.
A curious memento of the whaling
industry remains, however, in the
pavement leading up to one of the
doors of the Church of San Carlos de
Borromeo, church founded by the
Spanish missionary fathers, that is
still in excellent repair.
The round, mushroom-like objects
IN the pavement are the vertebrae of
the great mammals. This pavement
is in good condition and seems to
wear we'll 1t is probably unique, at
any rate in this country.

BULL BECOMES A HERO
Bravery Repeatedly Displayed in
Ring Won the Hearts Of the
Tickle Spaniards.

The hero of the Spanish bull ring
has not always been the toreador-i
there was once bull who earned the
plaudits of the arena on more than
one occasion by repeatedly clearing
it of his antagonists. Curiously
enough, however, he neither killed
nor dangerously wounded any man,
but he did put to flight every torea-
dor, picador chulo or banderillero
who dared to enter the arena with
him, and though the crowds came to
see him slain, his conduct proved so
valiant that the people demanded that
his life should be spared.
This bulls name was Lechuzo He
made his first appearance in the arena
at San Lucar, in Andalusia, some
years ago, and SO suddenly cleared
the ring of his enemies that the peo-
pie rose in admiration, and demand
ed his reprieve, for, in spite of his
bravery, he would have been treacher-
ously approached and put to death for
the satisfaction Of the multitude had
not the people interviewed. Again, at
Cordova, after the wounds had been
healed which the picadors inflicted
upon him at San Lucar, Lechuzo drove
all his enemies before him, and again
his life was spared at the demand Of
the spectators.
So Lechuzo came to be regarded as
invincible, and finally ended his days
in peace at the age Of ten years
Some admirers were DESTROYS of testi

Alexander of New York, is twenty

she was for time just before Mrs.

WHEN SICKNESS is LEAVING
Many Little Ways by Which Return

fastened.
Perhaps what

Perhaps what conyalescence de-
mands and is most frequently
grudged--is leisure. Severe sickness
leaves languor and WEAKNESS behind,
and satisfactory mending does not
sensibly diminish either the acuteness
or duration Of these sensations. There
fore, because there is much time to
dispose of, good nurse will be wise
to protract all that is pleasant She
need not be hurried, or seem hurried,
as If wanted elsewhere. The patient
likes to feel her thoroughly at com
mand, brisk to do bidding, but in har-
mony with the kind of lazy wellbeing
which it is the perfection Of conva-
descent nursing to insure.
From the earliest days of getting
well the morning toilet provides ex-
cellent opportunity for happy. daw-
ding. Everybody who has Como
through an elementary nursing course
has learned the principle Of washing
by degrees, SO that no part runs risk
of chill. But while adhering to sound
instruction in the main, now, II ever,
is the justification for all little toilet
luxuries, syanites and extravagances.
The drops of aromatic essence for q
final sponging, sweet-scented soaps
and powders, dainty dentifrice-the
appreciation for all of which, please
note, depends not in the least upon
age or sex. The patient who does
not care pin how he or she looks
is often on the brink Of one of those
fits of depression common to conya-
lescence which occasionally end in
tragedy. An interest in becoming
dressing gowns, ribbons, hairdressing
or shaving is the best of signs, and
the nurse should be a judicious fiat
terer while wary that the right light
| falls on the patients mirror.
