Death. therefore. Is estimated as oc-

he began his preparations TO remove

Crippen was skillful anatomist.

began dissecting the woman's body
into small pieces, which he burned Ill

The ashman. the Confession con
times came near discovering the
crime. for he removed the ashes from
the stove before the obliteration oil the
flesh was completed. Crippen was
greatly alarmed that the man would
find the human flesh in the ashes but
was relieved 10 know that the man

their home as an ideal spot for dis

After he had thus Inferred what

spread the story that his wife had

Crippen was not allowed to talk to
anyone save in the presence OF two
warders, who sat between the prisoner
and his interviewer and overheard
every word that passed between
them. Had Crippen confessed in jail
therefore. news OF his confession most
certainly would have been at once

of insular affairs of the war depart
ment from the American customs Off
GERS detailed in San Domingo.
The results of the collision were not
known in the San Diego city up to last
night, but in the absence of official
confirmation the Dominican officials
attached enough Importance to the re-
port to indulge in hasty cabinet
meeting and to begin negotiations with
the Haytien minister to Santo Do
mingo.
To guard against the failure of these
negotiations Dominican troops were
expected from various parts of the
country to the border. The Independ-
encia, the only Dominican gunboat t
any consequence, was made ready to
convey the troops and supplies imme-
diately to Perdenales.

Extraordinary Increases.

Extraordinary Increases.
Comparisons between the 1910 and
1900 totals for Minnesota show many
changes. The most noteworthy of
these is the increase in the value of
farm buildings. These buildings in
1900 had reported value of $110,220,-
900, while the census report in 1910
gives them value of $242, 621, 0O0-a
gain Of 1892, 401 900, or 100 per cent
A great increase was chronicled by
all the counties in the state. In every
section few counties are found with
the percentage of increase slightly
above that Of the state as whole, and
others are met with having a percent
age below that average. This per-
centage of building increase in Mime
sofa can with propriety be compared
with that for Iowa, which was 1873 per
cent. The farm buildings of Mime
sofa in 1910 had value only slight
ly in excess of those in Iowa in 1900,
when the farm buildings in that state
had a value Of $240,8O3, 900.
The value of land alone in Mime
sofa farms increased in ten years from
sos, 100000 to $1,o16,SS9, 900; and that
Of land and buildings increased from
e669. 522,000 to $1,259,510,000. The
value of the land increased 81 per
cent, and the land and buildings, SO
per cent. In 1900 the buildings on
Minnesota farms constituted 165 per
cent Of the value of the farms, while
In 1910 they constituted 1913 per cent
These percentages can be compared
with those of Iowa farms, which were
for the two years 1871 and IA respect
lively. The smaller percentage in 1910
for Iowa than for 1900 calls attention
to the fact that while in Minnesota
the value of farm buildings increased
faster than that of farm lands, the op-
posite was the case in Iowa, where
the percentage of increase in land
value was 1927 and that of buildings
only 1873. In the ten years the aver
age value of farm land in Minnesota
increased from $21 to $37 per acre,
and that of farms, including buildings,
from $26 to $46.

HIRAM CARPENTERS WONDER
Full CURE OF PSORIASIS.

Il have been afflicted for twenty
years with an obstinate skin disease,
called by some M. DIS. psoriasis, and

scalp; and in spite of all I could do.
with the help of the most skilful doc
tors. 1t slowly but surely extended un-
til q year ago this winter it covered
my entire person in the form of dry
scales. For the last three years have
been unable to do any labor, and
suffering intensely all the time. Every
morning there would be nearly dust
painful of scales taken from the sheet
on my bed, some Of them half as large
as the envelope containing this letter.
In the latter part of winter my skin
commenced cracking open. tried
everything, almost, that could be
thought Of, without any relief. The
18th of June started West, in hopes
I could reach the Hot Springs. I
reached Detroit and was so low I
thought I should have to go to the
hospital, but finally got as far as Lam
sing, Mich, where I had sister liv-
two weeks, but did me no good. All
thought had but short time to live.
I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked
through the skin all over my back,
across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs;
feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off;
f1nger-nails dead and hard as a bone;
hair dead, dry and lifeless as old
straw. o my God! how did suffer.
''My sister wouldn't give up; said,
We will try Cuticura.' Some was ap-
piled to one hand and arm. Eureka!
there was relief; stopped the terrible
burning sensation from the word go.

RESCUED FROM MOB
SlACk FACES DEATH AT VILLAG
ERS' HANDS AND SUFFO-
CATION.
LOCKED IN EXPRESS OFFICE SAFE
Troops Rushed to Weston, W.. Va
Sheriff, Barricaded in Depot,
Holds Desperate Farmers
at Bay.

Weston, w. Va, Dec. Is. -Furby,
negro, for hours was between two
fires-death at the hands of a mob
or suffocation in the iron vault of the
express office at the local railway sta.
ton. Outside the little building a
crowd of several hundred determined
people waited from afternoon until
late into the night, demanding the
life of the prisoner for alleged as
saults upon and an attempt to murder
Miss Flora Anglin, daughter of a
prominent farmer.
While the mob waited large squad
of special deputies and the sheriff
guarded the express Office and kept
the negro locked in the large express
safe, where he had little air to
breathe. For hours the crowd waited,
but for want of leader, it failed to
move with sufficient force to dis
lodge the deputies and take possession
of the express room. They stormed
the place several times, breaking all
the windows and forcing open the
doorsfi but were unable to gain access
to the safe.
Troops Only Hope.
The only hope of the authorities,
however, to get their prisoner to the
jail at Clarksburg as they intended to
do when the mob collected, was in the
arrival of state troops. An order was
issued for the mobilization of the mill
tia at several points, and the troops
arrived here at l a. m. and rescued
Furby.
The soldiers took the prisoner from
the safe in the express Office at the
railroad station and took him to
Clarksburg The mob was overawed
by the soldiers and gave way before
threats to shoot.
At Furby's hearing Flora Anglin de-
clared she was the victim of three
criminal attacks at his hands. He was
held to the grand jury without bail,
to answer to the charge of assault and
attempt to murder. Miss Anglin took
the stand herself after all other wit
nesses and spectators were excluded
from the court room and told how Fur
by attacked her while she was re-
turning from the dairy on her fathers
farm last Saturday night.
While she struggled, he dragged her
fully 800 yards and following the at
tacks he was in the alleged act of MUIR
dering her by strangulation, when a
railroad f1agman came running to her
rescue. The negro ran to horse
tied up nearby and made off, but the
animal fell, throwing the rider. His
shoulder was dislocated and he was
easily captured.
