Murder "WIit Out"

Lafayette.-District Attorney ]. ].
Robira Saturday received the official
report Of State Chemist Metz. giving
the result Of his Investigation and
test OF bloody clothing in thescxse -
Clementine Bernabet, 2 young negro
woman charged with the murder Of a
negro family of six on the night Of
November rs last.
On Monday morning after the above
date the horribly mutilated bodies Of
Norbert Randell, his wife and four
children were found In their cabin
with heads terribly crushed and blood
and brains spattered over the room
and bedding. All had been Drained
while asleep during the night, and
evidently never knew how or what
sent them SO swiftly into eternity.
The bodies, with the exception of two
Of the children. lay just as they were
when they dropped asleep, with heads
ON pillows and bodies in restful posi-
ton.
Prof. Metz declares that the blood
and brains on the clothing submitted
and which were found on the person
Of Clementfne and in her room, are
human blood and human brains. Fur
ther, that the blood and brain tissue
on the FELLOWSHIP taken from the cabin
the same, coming from the same per-
son, and that the theory advanced by
the negress OF her blood-stained cloth
ing, that it was due to her hysterical
condition at the time, is untenable,
as the blood is that which flowed from
wounds Of living body.
Clementine testified against her
father, Raymond Bernabet, who was
tried and convicted last October OF
numbering a family Of negroes-An-
drus, his wife and three children
last February, near the sugar refinery.
Bernabet's wife, son and daughter tes-
titled against the husband and father

them that he had murdered the An
drus family.

the skeptic that things have always
been this way; that hypocrites have
always crept into the church as they
have into every thing else. The thlnk-

Sunday and devour the poor all the

that when the hypocrite is raised to

year. it is not possible for him to en-
dure the thought of being subordinat

Now there remains just one thing
for honest, sincere church people tc
do, and that is to follow the example
of their great master by taking the
money changers and dove merchants

NATIONAL TASTE FOR SWEETS.

In the last FIVE years the increase
in the confectionery business has been
"a per cent, according to the thir-
teenth census. Whereas in 1904 the
total value of confectionery, chewing
gum, stick-licorice, corn-balls, saited
nuts and the numerous other sweets
was SAT, T09 600 in 1909 the value was
s134,T96, 600. Perhaps no other city IN
the country has better kept pace witt
The increase than Keokuk, which Is
now recognized as candy manufac-
turing center.
The pure food law with its restric-
tons upon the substances that may
be contained in candy has stimulated
rather than hurt sales of CONNECTIONS.
Now the buyer of candy does so with
the assurance that it contains notn-
ing harmful of his own or his chill
drens health. The demand for
sweets increases out of all proportion
to the increase in population, indicat-
ing that the national sweet tooth Is
increasingly insistent in its demands.

In 1S49 San Francisco, CAL, had its.
first and worst spell of social and
political decentralization. The popula-
ton was strongly tainted with thiev-
cry, robbery, and the most heinous
forms of official graft. The mayors,
the courts OF law. the judges, the
prosecuting attorneys, and the sher-
iffs all stood in with the criminals;
and in every one OF the almost daily
robberies committed the local jndic-
larry got their share OF the swag.
In such circumstances there was
but one thing left for the honest peo-
pie to do, and that one thing they did
with vigor that was both swift and
impartial. They formed a vigilance
committee, whose very first work was
to string up the judges, sheriffs.
prosecutors, etc. The committee then
proceeded to hang all the robbers and
thieves that could be caught, and the

SPEAKING OF CHICKENS.

Recurring to the subject of chick
ems and the money it is possible to
make out OF them. woman at Milton,
Iowa, has learned from personal ex-
perience that there is profit in rails
ing them in town, where all the feed
has to be bought. The Keosauqua
Republican is authority for the follow
ing facts and figures:
At the beginning Of the year she
had 40 chickens and at the end of
the year she had 1872. She gives a
detailed account of all the feed
bought, the total amount paid being
s11T.4s for the year. She sold and
ate 599 dozen eggs, the market price
of which was 5000. She also sold
and ate s32.3S worth of chickens. This
makes the gross cash proceeds for
fowls and eggs s1T87S. Deduct S117,-
rs paid for feed and she had a net
profit OF $3.50, for her time and labor.
None OF the eggs or fowls were sold
at fancy prices"
That was doing very well, especially
in view Of the high price of feed dur,
ing the past year. Most OF the losses
sustained in the chicken business are
the result OF epidemics of disease
among the fowls. Such epidemics are
more likely to occur In towns and
cities than in the country because
4 the fowls are kept in a more restrict
ed area. The successful chicken
raiser is the person who gives careful
personal attention to the business and
isolates cases of disease as soon as
! symptoms manifest themselves.

Don't invest your nickel in a glass

other fellow who has invested his
nickel in a savings bank; beer checks

Don't put the money of your tailor

SCIENTIFIC MARRIAGE.

The classification of all the peoples
OF the world in a great international
census, giving each person number
in a single world series, to the end
that the human race may be improv-
ed by scientific marriage, was the
plan advocated by Assistant Secre-
tary OF Agriculture W. NJ. Hays, in an
address before the American Breed
ers' Association, one of the organiza-
lions making up the American Asso.
citation for the Advancement Of Sci
ence.
AS a means of improving the hered
ity of the human family Mr.. Hays pro
posed a classification of all human
beings, both as to mental aptitude
and genetic efficiency. Based on such
knowledge as this census would give,
he said there would be developed in
racial religion" requiring the gen
critically efficient to produce families
larger than the average, and those
less efficient TO produce families
smaller than the average.
The world numbers, said Mr.. Hays
would serve to join genealogies into
one numerical system SO that all re
lationships could be traced. Each
person would have number of per
centage that could be averaged SO as
TO give the genetic or family values
Of each person.
Modern science and charity works
against the law of the survival of the
fittest,' he declared, rby keeping alive
many persons who inherit weaknesses
such as feeble-mindednes Or insanity
BY paying attention to genetic eff
cheney race may make itself strong
er for the economic contests anon,
the races of the world
The speaker admitted that the pro
posed plan would somewhat divid,
people into classes, but claimed tina
the classification would be benefcen
because it would be based on racia
efficiency. The wholesome considera
ton Of genetic facts will lead to les
of divorce, greater temperance ant
better morals.
