AS another. evidence that hog
raising in this great Bowbells
country pays and pays we'll,
The Tribune takes pleasure in
giving the experience Of it's
friend, Lewis Larson, who re-
sides on the John Murphy farm
on the outskirts Of the city.
Lewis is a son of o. J. Larson of
! this city and came here, a. year
ago from Osakis, > MINI, i, where
q: farmer would not think of try
ing to get along without raising
a few hogs each year. Lewis
could see no reason why porkers
should not do as we'll here as in
Minnesota and went to it. He
purchased a brood SOW which
last spring gave a litter of pigs,
five of which he sold to. the
Pioneer Meat Market on Mon
day for a trifle over $3.50. The
.porkers were as fat as butter
and were only about eight
months old. Lewis says the
feed required to keep them dur
ing. the summer amounted to al
most nothing, and. that it was
not until he got ready to fatten
them. did he feed them very
heavy. Besides those sold he
has several on his farm and sold
several prior to the sale made
Monday. He is now. convinced
that it pays to raise porkers
here and will 60 into the. 'busi-
ness pmore ~ heavily in the future.

Thomas Hunter, Sr., father of
our Tom, arrived in the city Mon
day from Eclude, Minn., where
he had been for the past six
weeks visiting relatives and will
remain here for a couple weeks
as guest of his sons family, aft
er which he will leave for his
home near Edmonton where. he
has owned and operated a ranch
for the past II years. Mr.. Hun
ter takes very entertainingly' a.
bout the Edmonton country and
predicts a great future for that
city and the surrounding terrific
ry. The city now, he tells US, is
about 10000 and that most of it
was built during the past few
years. Three trans-continental
railroads 20 through it and it has
the best possible chances of be-
coming the Chicago of Canada on
account of its large territory and
many natural advantages. The
chief occupation in that country
is dairying, grain raising and
poultry and stock raising, though
many farmers. are: raising. fruit
to a good advantage. On account
of the coun try not being very far:
away from the coast the climate
isa great deal like.:it is in. the
coast country, with mild winters
and cool summers. Mr.. Hunter
has resided there for eleven years
and tells US that when he: first
moved there he had.to drive:44
miles to the nearest postoffice; at
which place was also a steresto
get his supplies. Since that time
several railroads were construc-
ted in that territory, and he is
now only seven miles. from a

DIES AFTER Drink.
ING STRYCHN|NE
Mrs. Carl MathiesOn Suicides
at Her Home in Hills C0un-
trySunday Afternoon

try Sunday Afternoon
Mrs. Christina Mathieson, wife
of Carl Mathieson, resident l6
miles southwest of Bowbells,
committed suicide on Sunday
afternoon by taken a dose Of
strychnine, and died about a
half an hour after swallowing
the potion. Mrs. Mathieson had
been despondent for some over a
week before she took the fatal
dose, and her family, fearing
that she might attempt to de-
stroy herself, watched her very
closely, and never let her go out
of their sight for more than a
few minutes at a time. She
swallowed the poison at about
half past three o'clock Sunday
afternoon while downstairs and
Immediately thereafter went to
her bedroom upstairs where she
was found ten minutes later by
one of here sons suffering in
tense pain. She died at four o.
clock in commissions.
Coroner A. j. Paulson of Flax
ton was notified about an hour
later and he came to Bowbells n
No. 1O6 Monday morning and in
company with DR.. A. L. Doe of
this city and Victor Lind went to
the scene of the suicide. They
found the bottle on a sewing
machine downstairs which had
contained the fatal drug, and al
so found a pair Of shears which
were used in pulling the cork
out Of the bottle and found the
7deceaseds i imgolalttlh "a 4 partially filled
with the poison. ~s
Coroner @Paulson- decided to
hold an inquest and: subpoenaed
Jens M. Jensen, w. D. Owings
and John Beard to serve ON the
coroner's jury. After examin-
ing a number of witnesses and
looking over the situation they
decided that death came as a re-
suit of poison taken by the wo-
man without the knowledge of
any of the members Of the
family. ~
As was stated before Mrs.
Mathieson was very closely
watched by the members of the
family and they were unable to
account for the poison being in
the house.. They had searched
the rooms several times in an
endeavor to destroy anything
with which the lady could kill
herself, and are of the opinion
that the bottle Of strychnine
had been hidden BY the deceas-
ed ....s s...=
Mrs. Mathieson was Sc years
old, had. six children, three boys
and three girls, the youngest
child being 16 years old. Her.
daughters are all married. She
/ had been q resident Of this
great Bowbells country for
something like six years, coming
here with her family to take a
mestead. She was a jolly
good natured woman well liked
by every body and was getting
along fine with her family until
the streak Of despo dency struck,
her q week before her death. n
The funeral was held from the.

: ARITHMETIC OF MUSIC.
Plano Note Vibrations Range From a
 to 4.0ee Per Second.

Tho pitch Of musical tone can be calculated arithmetcaIy While the human voice in song is something of an unknown problem. the notes Of musical instrument are adjusted ac- cording to tbe numhT of vibrations por second made by each note. The shorter. dner and tenser the piano string the greater thc yibratory speed and higher the pitch; the longer, coars- CT and less tense the string the slower the vibrations and lower the pitch.
 The human ear becomes sensible t0 sound when vibrations have a speed Of sixteen per second As the vibrations increase the pitch ascends until 36000 are attained. when the result is inaudi- ble. The practical range on the piano Is from 32 vibrations to 4,006.
 Thlrty-two vibrations Is the number designated for the note of c, three o. taves below middle c on the piano. The next c has twice the number Of vibrations-64: the next twice that i2s: the next 2J6, being middle c. Doubling again for the ascending oc- taves. the successive C's yibrate, re- spectively, 5l2. l,O24. 2.04s and 4.O96 times per second. The pitch of the intervening notes is regulated propor- tionally according to the chromatic scale.
 These figures have not always been the same The early instrument mak- CTS Of Europe had many disputes con cernlng the measurement of the mn. sical strings und pipes that determined the pitch.
 The A string Of the violin gives the tuning note for orchestas. On the pl- ano 1t is the first A above middle c. From early times Co the middle of the nineteenth century this pitch note va ried from ST to 4f5 vibrations per sec ond, but 435 proved to be the most ac- ceptRble pitch.
 In close calculations temperature has some influence. so that some experts do not advocate striving for greater accuracy than within i've vibrations for the pitch note.

HID THE HANDKERCHIEF.
There Was a Time When It Was sn
 Unmsntionsble Article.

There Was a Time When lt Was an
 UrmsntionsbIe Article.
 The evolution of the pocket handker- chief is odd and interesting There wss a time when it was an unmention- able thlng-an article to be kept out of sight and referred to only in whis- per. In polite conversation it was care fully avoided. and. as to ones being caught using a handkerchief. it meant social ostracism.
 This state of things obtained up Co the time of the first Napoleon, when the Empress Josephine brought it forward for a personal reason The only defect In her beauty was an irregularity of the teeth. and to hide this she used delicate little handkerchief, which from time to time she raised to her lips Thus she was enabled to laugh occa- sionElly. Seeing that lt was a case ot either laughter going out or handker- chiefs coming into fashion, the court ladies adopted the pretty pieces Of cam bric and lace
 In England the evolution or the arti- cIe which is now so openly displayed by women was equally slow There was a time when It was forbidden Co mention 1t on the stage or Co make use of 1t even lu the most fearful situation while the people In the gallery and the pit shed their tears into their laps Even when it was mentioned for the first lime in one Of Shakespeare's plays ft was received with misses and general indignation by the audience. Little by little, however. the prejudice gave way, and a time came when the handker- chief could be fourished in broad day light

Roger was my especial waiter in the club dining hall, and by tips and other wise I secured his good will One day st noon l went into a second class restaurant for luncheon, and who should step up to serve me but Roger. Be looked much put out at meeting me there and without waiting for me to say anything begged me not to report the fact to the club management, since he was supposed to serve that lnstitu' ton alone "I have a large family he said, and since the club Is up- town few members lunch there, so l have the noou hour to myself and can earn something here
 I promised to keep his secret and while unching asked him if he earned anything beyond what he was paid at the club. He replied that he some times assisted at dinner parties when not needed at the club, adding: Next week Christmas comes, sir. There's very few dining at the club on Christ mas day. I'm to wait at a private house"
 My only invitation to a Christmas dinner was at the home of an aunt of mlue. an old lady. very deaf, and no young persons In her family. had made an excuse to decline it. was consequently one of "the few who would dine at the club The club restaurant was solemn enough at any time to its habitues, and It's loneliness on Christmas day was enough to drive

 An idea came into my head for a lark-an expedient whereby might enjoy seeing persons at joyful Christ mas dinner without being one of the diners.

 Roger was too astounded to reply, so I went on: ''Take me with you and tell them I'm friend of yours who is anx- ious to learn how to wait on the 'qual- ity and you have brought me as your assistant Say Pm not to be paid any thing"
 "Why, sir" replied Roger, you'd give yourself away directly"
 Not a bit of it. l once played the part Of butler in private theatricals and got lot of applause. Do you think you could manage it?'
 "Of course I can take you as my as- sistant and no charge"
 Well, I'll think it over and let you know at breakfast at the club on Christmas morning" I was not unknown in social circlesi but, these Peppers being new to the city, could count on their not knowing me.

ed to hear the evidence in the action
brought against G. J. Simmons. former

Telegraph Company.
The masters findings. confirmed by
Judge Newman, required that the notes
involved be known as gold mortgage

that if Simmons defaulted in he inter-
est the whole obligation was to be-
come due at once.
Simmons was ordered to pay S139,

ever for two payments Of S13,125.
The complainant was also given the

MACON MAN KILLS

Horace Adams, Prominent in
Georgia City, Commits Sui
eide in Hotel.

CHICAGO, Sept S-Horace H.
Fl. Adams, of Macon, Ga. killed him.
self today in his room in the Planters
hotel here. He shot himself through
the temple, A note found in the
room asked the police to notify his
father to take charge OF the body
From pa pers in Adams possession it
was found that the young man was a
member of the firm of c. NJ. Adams &
Son. insurance brokers Of Macon
Adams had been at the hotel since
August 26 The reason Of his suicide
is not known. Since his bill at the hotel
was left unpaid. and he apparently had
no money, police are inclined to the
theory that financial difficulties might
have been the cause.
Attaches OF the hotel, however, think
that the extreme heat of the past few
days may have resulted In temporary
mental unbalance. Adams had com
planned of the heat and had acted in
a peculiar manner for some days.

FIFTH REGIMENT TO
HAVE LOUD ZOUAVE
FULLDRESS OUTFITS

The Fifth regiment, all Atlanta
troops, will burst into the full glory of
brandnew full dress uniforms with
in a few weeks. The regalia will be
something to make you stop, look and
listen, too
A dark purple Zouave uniform viz
tually has been decided upon though a
brilliant green is being considered.
The leggings and shoes will be of white.
The trousers. closely resembling a ha-
rem skirt and baggy enough to use up
several yards of material. will be tuck
ed into the short leggings just above
the ankles.
The head gear has not yet been
agreed upon. as the Turkish fez which
usually accompanies a Zouave outfit
gives no protection against the sun.
A cap similar to that of the French
soldiery or a helmet wrapped with a
flowing scarf of white may be adopted.
But anyway the next parade in which
the Fifth regiment appears Will make
the Old Guard review of last summer
look like a funeral procession.
