A LOVER OF THE BIBLE
For More Than Fifty Years He La
bored to Convince People That
1t Was an Inspired
Work.

Rev. l.. T. Nichols, captain of the
Megiddo Mission Band which passed
through Keokuk several times recent
ly with the mission boat, died sever
al days ago in the Battle Creek sani-
tarium and was buried at Rochester,
~ Y. He had many friends along the
river, made during his interesting tour
of evangelism up and down the
stream. A Rochester newspaper has
the following to say of his life:
In the death of Captain Nichols,
Rochester undoubtedly has lost one of
her most energetic and enterprising
citizens, whose ability has during the
last eight years built up quite a sec
ton of the west side of the city that
was destitute of street cars, sidewalks,
gas, electricity or other conveniences
until they we're brought into that sec
ton through his efforts
While Captain Nichols was native
iof Indiana, his parents moved to Wis
consin when he was 8 years old. His
father was an invalid, and in early
life the support of father and mother
and sisters was to a great extent de
pendent on his exertions. At the age
of 20 years, October Is, 1864, he mar
ried Miss Hattie (iriffis, formerly OF
New York City, and their married
| life knew complete happiness for more
than IL wears.
/ From childhood Captain Nichols
evinced a great love for the Bible, and

In 1901 Captain Nichols built large
mission steamer on the Mississippi
river, and for more than two years
the band of 80 workers travelled the
waters of the Mississippi, Ohio and
Cumberland rivers. Drawing the uncer-

than so years, without fee or hope of
reward in this life, he labored to con-
vince people that the Bible. as given
in the original, contains no contradic-
tons, absurdities, or pagan folklore.
His faith in the Bible as the inspired
word of God ruled all his life, and to
inspire other people with the same
faith was his ambition. He dedicated
his life to the pursuit of knowledge,
thinking while others slept, reading
while others passed their time in idle
ness. Consequently, his life was a
busy one and was not occupied with
trifles.

in any other city of like advantages.
They located at their present home in
Thurston Road. The band of workers
have carried nearly million of Cap
tain Nichols publications, printed in
Rochester, to all parts of the country.
While Captain Nichols did not be-
lieye that man could know the hour
OF Christ's coming, he firmly believed
that the hour is nearing when on earth
it will be distress of nations with
perplexity mems hearts failing them
for fear and for looking after those
things that are coming upon the
earth" that "the mighty man will
cry there bitterly, neither their silver
nor their gold shall be able to deliv-
er them in the hour of His judg-
ments.' AS the result of Christ's
judgments, Captain Nichols believed
two-thirds of all earth's millions will
meet destruction before one-third will
be willing to submit to the law that
will go forth from Jerusalem, which
will, at His coming, rise from the
dust Of ages to become the city of the
Great King. When the strife and
carnage have passed away, he taught
the peaceful morning of righteousness
and happiness will dawn upon a smil-
ing world fortresses will be destroy
/ ed. armies will disband, the arts OF
war will be suppressed and mankind
set free to live in harmony every
where, delivered from sorrow, dis
ease and death

FUTILE GABFEST

peat Old Offer.

A dozen men representing the com.
mercial clubs of Nauyoo, Hamilton
and Warsaw, met in Hamilton yester-
day afternoon and spent several
hours discussing how it happened
that is, how the board of supervisors
happened to turn down the PROPOSE
ton for the best road for the longest
mileage ever dreamed of in Hancock
county.
They started with some idea that
they might do something about 1t
yet, although both the action of the
! supervisors and an interview given
out by Engineer Cooper made 1t a
closed incident They ended with
the conclusion that they ought not to
blame the negative supervisors from
the out townships as much as them
selves for not being more watchful
and countering the opposition which
out-generaled them-when they are
sure that If they had spent more
time last month informing the mem
bers of the county board of the real
facts. said supervisors would not have
been induced to turn down the road.
Was Chiefly Gabfest.
1 They looked at the wreck OF their
hopes from several angles, heard
read the poem about what might have
been, lined in singing about the sweet
/ by and by, as the discussion embrac
ed other things than lake shore roads,
talked some more, wondered how
several supervisors came to vote
against the road, agreed unanimously
that said road would be bigger as
set to Hancock county than a new
laundry, wished they had carried or
a campaign of information during the
first two months of the year, talked
some more about how it happened---li
fresh cigars and began all over agar
to retrace the same road to gabfest.
They did not even think it advis
able to come over to Keokuk to asI
Mr. Cooper whether it would be worth
while to try to get the board of su
pervisors to rescind its action. The,
remembered that the vote agains
them was fifteen to eight, and tn,
number fifteen never looked so bi,
before in Hancock county
To an innocent spectator, that con
ference looked like a frog that keep
kicking after it is dead But it wa
no laughing matter to the particl

Love Letter In Pocket Gives
Suicide Motive.
TEARS UP NOTE TO MOTHER.
In II He Acknowledges That He is
Stubborn and Lazy and Asks For
siveness Of Parents-ln Another
Letter Confesses Love For
West Philadelphia Girl.

Philadelphia, May =. - Morris b.
Weiss, eighteen years old, son of a
New York shoe manufacturer, shot
and killed himself in this city. Sew.
eral love letters and photograph of a
girl found In his pockets supply a sup
posed motive for the suicide.
A policeman who heard the report of
a revolver found the boy dead on the
steps of n business house. In n pocket
was a notebook in which was written:
"My name is Morris T. Weiss. | i've
at $50 West Fourteenth street New
York. Notify my father. Henry Weiss.
at the same address before s n. III. and
after 8 p. m, or between these hours
at 7S Reade street, Metropolitan Shoe
company"
The boy registered ut a hotel here
and in his room was found part of a
torn letter which read
Dearest May-I love Agnes Mccall
ley, 1850 Lancaster avenue" This ad.
dress is in West Philadelphia.
Tears Up Letter to Mother.
Another letter was found in the room
torn to pieces. Pieced together it was
found to have been addressed to Weiss
mother. 1t was long, and in it he said
that he was business and social fail
ure. He acknowledged in the letter
that he was stubborn and lazy, and
this, the police say, accounts for the
suicide. He referred to the West Phil
adelphia girl and directed his mother
how to dispose Of his personal belong
ings. He asked the forgiveness of his
parents and said his father was good
father, but should learn to control his
temper.
Agnes McCalley says she knew Weiss
only slightly, having met him two
years ago. She says she did not en-
courage his attentions and had not seen
him since last October, when he was
present at her birthday party. Since
then, however, she had received nu-
merOus letters and cards.

Pure Milk From Clean Diaries.

Milk is either our greatest bless
ing or our greatest curse. Good
milk means health and strength.
Bad milk brings with it disease and
often death. Typhoid fever, tuber-
culosis and many other diseases are
carried by impure milk. Therefore,
it is important that the public takes
an interest in the farmer and the
dairy and sees that milk is careful
ly handled. Dirty, illventilated
cowstables, which are not properly
drained, are splendid breeding places
for germs. Do not buy milk that
comes from dairies such as these.
When you get milk make sure
that it comes from a tuberculin
tested nerd. This means that none
of the COWS have tuberculosis. In
the best type of dairy the COW is
groomed before she is milked. She
is not allowed to switch her tail
across her fianks and drop dirt and
germs into the milk The manure is
removed from the stable each day.
The yard is clean and dry. Con-
venient to the barn is a milk house
where the milk is bottled. Here
there is sterilizer, steam, ice and
everything else needed to keep the
milk pure.
If you are interested in keeping
well take an interest in the kind of
milk that you drink and see that it
comes from a good dairy farm

tary, Pennsylvania Society for the

Danger of Importating Potato Dis
ease.

Both Secretary Critchfield and
State Zoologist Surface, of the De-
batment OF Agriculture, Harrisburg,
hre very much interested in a COM
|nunication which they received from
p valued correspondent sending a
clipping from newspaper published
Rt st. Etienne, France, calling atten-
ion to a potato disease which is far
worse than anything else now known
e. n America.
In view of the fact that many per-
ons are contemplating planting seed
potatoes from abroad this season,
wing to the scarcity or high prices
y homegrown seed potatoes, the
Department takes this occasion to
all definite attention to the import
nee of growers avoiding this and
imilar diseases not yet known in
his State, and making certain that
3hey are planting only good seed po-
Iatoes, even though they may have
Xo pay higher price for the home
Hrown product.
The article from a French news
#aper reached Professor Surface in
5 original language, and its exact
anslation is published as follows:
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-05-22

There is one single means for
wiping out this evil, and that is the
repeated application of carbon-sul-
phide (sulfure de barbone) on the
affected tubers.
Mr.. Bouvier, having laid stress
on the danger of the propagation of
this parasite, which is to be as much
feared for potatoes as the Phylloxera
is for grape vines, Messrs. Leon
Liable and de Freycinet, who are
members of the Senate as we'll as of
the Academy of Sciences, declared
that they would request the Minis
lister of Agriculture to take steps i'm
mediately."

Mark layers With leg bands.

1ncubators are always on the job.
Be sure there are no lice on the
hogs.
All farmers should keep pure-bred
poultry.
Duck feathers may also be made
a source of profit.
Normal churning temperature is
around 62 degrees.
A special inspection should be
made of the stables.
The hen which lays an egg and
does not cackle is a-turkey.
1t costs no more to take good care
of a good fowl than a poor one.
Growing pigs should receive, where
it is possible, some buttermilk.
The long-headed farmer is the one
who has hay to sell in the spring.
Whether for eggs or meat, skim
milk is one of the best and cheapest
foods
In fitting horses for nard work in
crease the grain ration, but not the
hay.
Chickens hatched in an incubator
can be reared either with hens or
with a brooder.
Open pals of water and swill have
caught more chicks than any rat that
ever lived.
Two parts oats and one of bran
make a well-balanced ration for preg-
nant ewes.
On the average, eleven pounds of
cheese can be made from 200 pounds
of skimmilk.
Look out for drafts under and
through the floors. They are about
the worst kind.
A news item says that 10000
dairies are used to supply London
and its suburbs with milk.
Poultry will never do well if in
tested with lice or mites.
You are safe to buy an old sire,
but don't get him very fat.
Winter is the time to plan for i'm
provements about the farm.
The horses should be given at
least one feed of mixed hay a day.
If you did not save enough good
seed for the farm crops, lose no time
in getting enough to plant your
crops. Get the best that can be had,
regardless of the price.
1t is not breeding alone that is
going to determine the future useful
ness of the COW, but ii must be sup
ported by liberal feeding, daily care
and careful observation.
A few sweet apples or Jumps of
sugar is likely to prove much more
effective than a whip in securing
obedience from an intelligent,
spirited highly bred colt, or even a
mature animal of the horse kind.
Preventive measures in wardiig off
|sheep troubles not only eliminate
tedious treatment, but sustain the
physical state of the animals in the
most natural and desirable condi-
| tion for breeding purposes.
The setting hen must be protect
ed from lice. She offers a splendid
breeding place for these parasites,
and unless something is done to
check their growth in the nest the
chickens will be hatched under seri-
Gus handicap.
The cow must have a good breath
ing apparatus, indicated by a large
nostril, wide breast and good width
across the floor of the chest
Never jump from the wagon when
the horse is running away. More
lives and limps are lost in that way
than by remaining in the wagon.
Until we raise all the hay we need
for our stock, and have all the
stock and all the manure we need,
II will pay us to save the whole of
the corn crop.

Cutting Back Frozen Peach Teres

Cutting Back Frozen Peach Teres.
One of the most experienced or
chardists and nurserymen in Penn
sylvania wrote to Prof. II. A. Sur
face of Harrisburg, asking what
should be done with peach trees of
which he sent a sample of wood.
They were so badly frozen that they
were brown when freshly cut.
Thousands of peach growers this
year need the information which
was given, and which was as fol-
lows:
The wood is too badly frozen to
recover unless it is cut back we'll.
| should cut at least two-thirds of
the top out of such a tree, but l
should not cut it so that it is cut
to mere stubs without buds. | mean
to say, that | would leave branches
with their full bud length, rather
than dehorning all of them to
stubs. Leave some leaf buds on
your trees to start the sap going.
When you cut out a tall branch
make the cut just above living
side branch upon which good strong
leaf buds are to be found.
The strongest leaf buds of your
peach tree will start and grow, Just
as they would develop if the twigs
were cut off and placed in water, but
they are liable to die during the
summer, because the cambium layer
of the twigs, which is the vital
means of connection between bud
and root, is killed by this freezing.
The important point to bear in mind
in pruning a frozen tree is, that it
will not stand topping back to stubs
as severely as in pruning for bad
scale infestation.
AS a fruit grower, you will be
interested in knowing that there
may possibly be a two per cent.
peach crop this year in this region,
but l think not more than that"
