MERCHANT SLAIN;
MOTIVE A MYSTERY
Continued from Page One.

utized by the murderer to go to the
place and bring back information. The
man who struck Mickle, it is ex
planned, may not have intended to kill
1t might have been that the assailant
delivered the blow IN a moment of an
ger, and, when he realized what he had
done, slipped into the street and made
his escape.
Or it might have happened that the
| assailant became anxious to learn to
what extent he had injured Mickle and
sent the man in the light tan rain coat
to get the desired information. A dia-
mond bowknot stickpin. a valuable
watch, and a pocketbOok containing sew
eraI bills were found intact on the dead
mans person. The cash drawer OF the
store had been opened, but IS had been
untouched.
Money Accounted For.
While friends Of the dead man declare
that he usually carried a roll of bills in
his pocket. the police say that every
penny which the murdered man was
known to have had has been accounted
for. That the murderer was frightened
away before accomplishing robbery is
another theory secuted by the detectives.
On the story Of sixteen-year-old Ralph
Pines. the clothing store proprietor's s
son, the police base their belief that the
man whom the boy saw standing in the
cigar store shortly before $40 o'cleck
committed the murder. Randolph, the
department store employe, who discov-
cred the dying man several minutes
later. says he looked at the clock above
the Hahn building, and saw that 1t was
just $40. Examination OF the two clocks
shortly after the crime was discovered
disclosed that there was no difference in
their time
BeIieyed in CaIIsthcnics.
The murdered man. who believed in a
series of calisthenics as the best means
of reducing weight. had a great habit Of
showing his friends his method. Mickle
according to his friends, would place his
feet on a chair and his hands on the
floor in going through his calisthenic
exercise. Then he would raise and lower
himself several times. He declared that
with this method a man could easily
lose flesh. 1t was while going through
similar exercise that the little Pines
boy saw him last alive.
II usually go to Seventh and L
streets shortly after o'clock of an
evening for my mother" said young
Pines last night. "Just before I started
on my errand this evening, I went to
the door Of Mr.. Mickles store and looked
in to see the time As I peeped through
the glass in the door I saw a man in
dark coat standing in front of the
counter. Mr.. Mickle seemed to be doing
that exercise he always did when ex-
planning how people can get thin. I no.
ticed that It was $40 O'clock I ran
away and did not think any more of Mr..
MickIe or his store"
William H. Mickle had been in busi-
ness in the Seventh street place for more
than twenty-five years, and prior to that
had made many friends in the local
business world. He is survived by his
wife and a daughter, Helen, eleven years
old.

Ability to Produce Music
Now Available to All

~ HE late Theodore Thomas once
said: Nothing so awakens
an interest In music as help
ing to make It,"
This is true. The world has
taken a new and vital interest in
music during the past ten years, be-
cause the world may now take part
in making II.
Musical production, once the accom-
plishment Of the few. is now the COM
mon possession Of the many.
AS a result. In the worlds homes
to-day. music asd literature are COM
ing to a common basis. Lszt, Wag-
ner, and Mendessohn are becoming as
we'll known as Thackeray. Bulwer,
and Scott.
And musical authorities are unani-
nous in crediting the invention Of the
Pianola with being responsible for the
Worlds Marvellous Awakening to
Music.

have finished the survey Of two res

contain ten thousand, seven hundred
acres of water one foot deep with a
dam requiring fifty-six cubic yards Of
dirt to the acre foot Of water. The
other one will store about ten thous-
dirt in the dam. There is plenty of
dirt available for building the dams at
small cost and the reservoirs are
ideal for holding water.
These reservoirs are SO situated as
to cover the entire valley OF thirty

WRONG SORT
Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and
Bread May Be Against You
for Time.

A change to the right kind Of food
can lift one from a sick bed. A lady
in Welden, Ill, says:
Last spring l became bed-fast with
severe stomach troubles accompanied
by sick headache. l got worse and
worse until l became so low could
scarcely retain any food at all, al
though tried about every kind.
Il had become completely discour-
aged, and given up all hope, and
thought l was doomed to starve to
death. until one day my husband, try
ing to find something I could retain,
brought home some Grape-Nuts.
To my surprise the food agreed
with me, digested perfectly and with
out distress. l began to gain strength
at once. My flesh (Which had been
fiabby), grew firmer, my health i'm
proved in every way and every day.
and in a very few weeks l gained 20
pounds in weight
81 liked Grape-Nuts so well that for
four months / ate no other food, and
always felt as well satisfied after eat
ing as II had sat down to a fine BAN
Quet.
Il had no return of the miserable
sick stomach nor OF the headaches.
that used to have when l ate other
food. / am now a well woman, doing
all my own work again, and feel that
life is worth living.

life; and my two little boys have

Nominees for Mayor.

Chicago. March 1.-Charles &. Mer
riam, professor of political economy
at the University of Chicago, was the
choice of the Republican primaries te
oppose Carter II. Harrison, four times
former mayor. Democratic nominee il
the race for the mayoralty. Harrison
was chosen after close fight in
which Mayor Edward F. Dune never
allowed MIN more than 1000 votes
lead and in which Andrew Graham
candidate of the so called regular
Democratic party. dropped nearly 20,
900 votes behind. In the Republican
primaries Professor Merriam polled a
vote which almost equaled the com
bined vote of his four Republican op
popents.
It was the first test OF direct pri
mary in mayoralty contest here and
the returns are taken TO indicate that
the independent voter turned out in
force. The total vote ran far ahead OF
that expected.
