4 CITY BEAUTIFUL
J 5 THE GOAL SOUGHT
-
Mrs. Stephens Explains the
Object of Cleaning Up
! Day. in the City.
ny MRS. r. w. STEPHENS.

Our city has had four annual Clean
ling to conduct the movement again
tthis year along educational lines. Civic
sart has become of national importance.
PIT is more widely recognized than in
tany former period Of history. There is
Everywhere an eager race for beauty,
Ia prevalence of a cleanup epidemic.
The demand for more harmony and
beauty is evidence of higher culture,
sof a quickening of aesthetic sensibili-
tiles.
Improvement work is one of the hap
ipiest thoughts of the day. and 1t lies
lin the people themselves to say to
what extent this Improvement work
shall go on.
Property owners can not long afford
nnsightly surroundings. The day is
past when an occasional sweet will"
decides. whether weeds or flowers
shall grow over the premises and side
walks and whether the principal orna-
ments of the rear yard shall be tin
cans. The wiser heads have discovered
THAT the "city beautiful is business
worthy citizens.
Richmond Is becoming to be what
we have every reason to expect 1t
should be. We have the right to a full
fillment of vision for it, clean, heal
thy, beautiful, well governed.
The leading organizations of the city
are endorsing Cleaning Day" The
Commercial club and the WestSide I'M
'provement Association are making do
nations for the day" The South Side
Association has signified it's intention
to take up the matter at their next
meeting. There is assurance of coop
Grafton on every hand. People are prof
fering their advice and services, which
are both acceptable and encouraging.
The Aftermath will endeavor to
carry out the thought of the executive
department of the city. They believe
that Junior League would be the
means of accomplishing the most wide
spread interest Accordingly the
schools of the city are being visited
this afternoon to see II such organiza-
lions can not be effected. The results
will be published in tomorrow6 issue
Junior Leaguers to be successful
must receive the cooperation of all
public spirited men and women. Boys
and girls may be instilled with civic
pride, may be taught to feel sort
of personal possession in relation to
the city to love 1t and work for it's
highest citizenship. An example indeed
for elders. They are very effective in
work of this kind and learn not only
to clean up" but to scatter less rub
bish for future "clean-ups." So the
interest of the children will be sought
believing that their enthusiasm will
overcome. the apathy of more mature
years.

The Oil Bird.

One of the animal curiosities of
South America is the "oil bird" or
guacharo. 1t breeds in rocky caves.
and one Of its favorite haunts is the
island Of Trinidad. 1t lays it's eggs
in a nest made of mud, and the young
birds are prodigiously fat. The ma
tives melt the fat down in clay pots
and produce from it kind of butter.
The caves inhabited by the birds are
usually accessible only from the sea.
and the hunting of them is sometimes
an exciting sport.

Fred Mccord Clears Mystery When
He Returns From Kansas City
and Gives Himself Up.

Springfield, Mo.-Fred McCord,
son of Mr.. John McCord, Stone
county banker and stockman, con-
fessed to the murder July s of John
F. Reed, a farmer who lived five
miles south of Galena, Mo. The STAY
ing had been a mystery to the sheriff's
force for a week, until McCord, upon
his return from Kansas City, where
he took a shipment Of live stock i'm
mediately after he quarreled with
Reed and killed him, voluntarily con-
fessed.
McCord said he found Reed chasing
some of his stock with dogs and pro-
tested. Reed, he declared, picked up
a. rock and was advancing upon him.
McCord then drew a revolver and
fired twice. Reed fell. Believing he
only had wounded Reed, McCord com
pleted loading the shipment of stock,
leaving the body of his neighbor
where 1t fell. He then accompanied
the shipment to Kansas City, return.

TRIPLE SLAYER TO HANG
GEORGE ENGEL IS CONVICTED
AFTER TWO HOURS.
Wife, Who Left Home Because of In
human Treatment, and Her Sister
Are Brutally Stabbed.

Duquoin, Ill.-The jury in the
case OF George Engel, who was
tried at this term of the Duquoin city
court for the murder of his wife and
an unborn child and his sister-in-law,
Rosa Yost, reached a verdict of
guilty after being out less than two
hours, and imposed a sentence of
death by hanging.
The crime committed by Engel was
one of the most brutal in the history
of Perry county. The wife left home
because of inhuman treatment by her
husband and went to live with rela-
tives. On the evening of the triple
murder, Engel sent for her to return,
which request she refused.
Armed with a butcher knife, which
was shown in court, Engel proceeded
to the house where Mrs. Engel was
living. He first killed his sister-in-
law, Rosa Yost, by stabbing her sew
eral times in the breast, one wound
piercing the heart, from, which she
uled instantly.
He then turned on his wife and in
iicted several wounds in her back,
sevoring the spinal column. She died
a few days later. Engel attempted
escape but was overtaken. Feeling
against the murderer is intense here,
and to avoid any scene at the depot,
Engel was brought here in an automo-
bile by Sheriff Duncan.

shin Cut In TWO.

Alleyne Ireland, an English newspa-
per man, who is writing articles for
several metropolitan newspapers, and
was at one time the companion of the
late Joseph Pulitzer, in speaking of
the Titanic disaster, recalled an ex-
perience he had "a years ago.
Il was a passenger on one of the
ol%d-fashioned sailing steamers going
from London to Australia in 1885,"
said Mr.. Ireland. In the Red sea we
ran plumb into a vessel, and our boat
cut it entirely in two, SO neatly that 1t
might almost have been done with a
huge knife. We went clean through
her, and the men on the vessel struck
stepped from the two halves of that
ship on to our deck. The injured yes
sci went down within a few minutes
after 1t had been struck.
THE thing was go strange that.
when the captain of the vessel we had
struck went. back to London, an inves-
tigation was held, and it was substan-
TALLY proved that the officers had, with
design, got in the immediate track OF
our vessel in order to bring about a
collision In the hope that they could
collect insurance money. The cap
tain and some Of the officers were Jun
ished by imprisonment"

When London Takes Leisure.

What is there that London in the
season is not?" asks Sydney Brooks
in the issue of Harper's Weekly. 1T
is the capital Of the kingdom, the
home of royalty, and the scene of the
thousand and one festivities, cere-
monies, and fetes that go with a court.
The present sovereign has displayed
an unexpected relish for the social OBJ
legations and opportunities of his po-
sition; and there never was a time
when the influence and example of
royalty added SO much to variety,
stateliness, and magnifcence Of the So
oial program. And, besides this, Lon
don is the seat of the legislature; it
is the capital of the empire; and ev-
cry year, for the three months that
end with the end of July, It is the
worlds center for opera, for concerts,
for pictures, for the drama, for nearly
every form Of art"

us some Postum and told us to try
that.
Although we started to make 1t,
we all felt SUR that we would be sick
