Threats Of Lynching.

The streets about the jail were
crowded all day with town people and
farmers. Threats of mob violence were
heard on every hand and the sheriff
feared that when Lee s statement be-
came public, it would be impossible TO
protect him. A motor ear was obtained
and Lee was hurried to Evansville uu-
der heavy guard.
The motive ascribed by the officials
in charging Lee with the murders is
that he wished to obtain money with
which TO be married to his fiancce,
Nina Taylor. Cash amounting to a
hundred dollars, said to have been in
the Lee house on Wednesday. has not
been found. The lives of Richard and
Clarence Lee were insured for 500.
William Lee is known to have quar-"
relied with his parents because they
opposed his marriage.
At r cemetery near Ncwburg, where
the burial of the Lees took place this
afternoon, Nina Taylor, William Lee IS
fiancee, tainted when the three coffins
were lowered into one wide grave, She
was carried TO her home IN serious
condition. A crowd of several thou
sand persons watched the hearse and
carriages leave this city for Newburg.

Preserving Eggs.

We preserve eggs for the same
reason We can fruit to have an a.
bundant supply in winter when eggs
are scarce. We have found that a
properly preserved egg is practically
as good for cooking as . fresh egg.
An egg will never be better than
when it goes into the preservative,
hence only eggs that absolutely fresh
clean, unwashed and sound, should
be preserved. Eggs that are soiled
in the nest or from the ground should
be used while fresh. Cracked or thin
-shelled eggs are nearly certain to
spoil. the preventative and injure the
eggs.
We prefer the water glass method
of preserving eggs. use an earthen-
ware. glass or wooden vessel as a
container. A six-gallon earthenware
jar will hold from twenty to twenty
four dozen eggs. Scald the vessel be-
fore using.
For the water glass soluble silicate
sodium) solution, take one part Of
water glass to ten parts of boiled
water 1--WE have used nine and eleven
parts of water to one of water glass,
and can see but little difference, if
any, in the eggs). If the water is
hot, let the mixture cool before using.
Half fill with the solution the jar
to be used, and put the eggs in daily
as gathered. Keep at least two in
ches of preventative above the eggs
all the time. If a white or jelly like
deposit is found upon the eggs on re-
moval wash it off, it does no harm.
Do not try to use the water-glass a
second year. Wallace Farmer.
