sides, their presence helps some
struggling municipality to keep up
appearances at census taking time.
Modern farming requires brains and
industry.
To people thus equipped Mr.. Ran
kin's career must appear strongly.
Agriculture, though one of the old
est, is not the most highly develop
ed of our industries. David Ran
kin did as much as any man has
ever done to prove that business
methods applied to it meant profit
He studied soil and products and he
learned the advantage of rotation of
crops. He kept a set of books as
complete as a banks; he ran his
farm as methodically as other men
run packing houses, railroads or
manufactures, and he made it pay.
The opportunities are greater to-day
than when he began. There is q lot
of this big country of ours out of
doors, and it's development agricul-
turally is one industry that is not
overdone.-NewY York Sun

Will The ElOsser Case Remain A
Mystery?

Charles e. Twigg and Miss Grace
Elosser, who were engaged and were
on the eve of being married, were
found dead in the parlor of the Elos-
ser home, in Cumberland, on De-
cember 81. There was apparently
no reason to suppose that either had
any intention of committing suicide.
He was in prosperous circumstances,
with fortune of some $4,000.
She was making every preparation
for the wedding.
DR.. Harrington, the city health
officer, and DR.. Barker, a chemist,
performed an autopsy on the bodies.
They came to the conclusion that
both had been killed by taking
cyanide of potassium DR.. John r.
Littlefield and Dr.. Arthur H. HaW-
kins were convinced that death was
caused by carbon monoxide, generat-
ed by gas stove which stood only
four feet from the couple. They
conducted a test, and in the same
room where the dead bodies were
found enough deadly gas was gener-
ated to Kill cats that were confined
there. DR.. G. Glaser, of Baltimore,
and DR.. S. l.. Lynch, chief chemist
of the District of Columbia, made
Independent tests of the blood of the
victims, and both came to the con-
clusion that death was caused by
carbon monoXide.
The doctors and chemists who
made an analytical investigation of
the contents of the stomachs found
distinct traces of cyanide. How the
cynide got there is still undetermin-
ed. DR.. w. r.. Foard, the first ply
sician to reach the scene, DR.. T. w.
Koon and DR.. George l.. Broadrup
all hold to the theory of cyanide
| poisoning, in spite of the monoxide
tests and reports.
This disagreement between the ex-
perts is not a mere technical differ
ence as to the manner in which
death was caused. 1t goes to the
very root of the case. If death was
caused by carbon monoxide, it was
clearly the result of an accident
If it was caused by cyanide of potas-
SUM, it points to either suicide or
murder.
There are many questions that
have arisen in this case that have
not yet been satisfactorily answered,
and probably never will be. Few
cases have attracted such wide at
tention or have been followed with
