live stock is preserved, that it's value
each year per animal is as follows:

Liquid manure is worth approx

Roberts" estimates that if manure
is left in the yard, subjected to the
action of the elements, that in six
months it loses more than one-third
OF it's value by teaching. In other
words, if 90 tons of manure is worth
$".0t per ton, or $4,000, and one-third
is lost because of rains and wastes
in other ways, the farmer loses $4,000
worth of fertility and his land is i'm

Eft. MADISON CLAIMS
THREE CHAMPIONSHIPS
keokuk, Burlington and Fl. Madison.
Are Tied for Championship of
Southeastern Iowa.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye said last
week: The Fl Madison Democrat COM
menting on the Mt. Pleasant-Ft. Madi-
son high school game to be played in
that city on Thanksgiving claims that
the Southeastern Iowa championship
rests between Burlington, Ft. Madison
and Keokuk, and then continues:
CAS- it now stands Burlington Fort
Madison and Keokuk teams are tied
for the honor. Burlington tied with
Fort Madison, and also with Keokuk.
This was early in the season and as
to the respective strength of the
teams at the close the scores of other
games will have to be taken into con-
sideration, since the three leading
teams do not meet again. Keokuk's
standing with Madison will be shown
by next Saturdays game with Car
thage The locals walloped the Him
OILS bunch by the score of 81 to 0,
and Keokuk will have to beat that
record or drop below Madison in the
percentage column. Much interest
here centers in the notwithstanding
game and several local players ex-
pect to be in the audience at the Gate
City Saturday. The Thanksgiving
game will determine the locals stand
ing with Burlington. Burlington, on
her own grounds, defeated Mt. Pleas
ant IA to 0. Madison will have to
raise that figure to claim advantage
over the up-river eleven"
1t is difficult to see where the
Madison sports writer bases his claim
of a triple tie existing for the south
eastern Iowa title. Fairfield high
and Ottumwa high are both to be con
sidered ahead of either of the teams
above mentioned. Fairfield defeated
Keokuk without much trouble at the
Dam City and bested Burlington on
the Parsons grounds AZ to 0. Ottum-
wa high defeated the local eleven 81
to at Ottumwa Figuring the situa-
ton from this standpoint Fairfield
must be given first choice in the Sc
lection as their fast team has been a
steady winner all season.

CULLENNE MURDER rs
STILL A MYSTERY
coroner's Jury Stands by Original
Verdict of Death by stranguia-
ton While Many Doubt.

The coroner's jury has concluded
its inquiry into the cause of the death
of Ellen Cullene, who was found dead
in the ruins of her home south or
Warsaw
The jury stands by its original YER
dict of death due TO strangulation
from hands unknown to the jury"
Detective Richard Stanley OF Chi
cago, believes that the woman was
not murdered. He thinks that she
may have been suddenly seized with
an attack of heart trouble and that
she may have fallen over and ignited
her clothing with the candle she car
ried. He also found the frames of
several pocketbooks which were
closed.
Andrew Koch, who worked for the
dead woman, said that he had seen
several sacks of coins around the
house and also knew that she kept
two revolvers under her pillow. Meth
err the revolvers or her watch were
found.
The November 2S issue of the mag
azine of the Christian Orphans at
Council Bluffs, Ia. contains an article
praising Ellen Cullene for her gifts to
the Institution. 1t says that she was
deeply interested In the home and
had contributed SIS to it a few days
before her death.
