months old, was burned to death
when the house was burned to the
ground. shortly before 1 o'clock, FRI
day afternoon.
The father, William Holmes. pat
ternmaker. on rushing home from
work and learning OF the tragedy, was
stricken dumb, and was unable to ar
ticulate a sound when questioned by
Coroner Rothacher. The mother OF
the child is historical at the home OF
a rieighbor.
A neighbor woman who met and
chatted with Mrs. Holmes as she was
on her way to the store, passed the
house few moments later and no
t.ced glare within. Knowing that
the babe was In the house, alone, the
woman tried to force her way into
the locked house, but her efforts were
vain. and meanwhile the little home.
only partially completed, became a
veritable furnace. Other neighbors
tried to fight their way into the house
and some icalled me Highland Park
IRE department. The apparatus be
came stuck In the heavy mud, several
blocks from the FIRE. and the crowd
was forced to watch the total de
struction OF the house, which took
only few minutes.
When the mother arrived, It was all
over. The terribly charred body OF
the babe was later found In the ruins
Heavy wrappings OF quilts and bed
clothing had protected part of its
body, but only the torso OF the babe
was intacct.
Coroner Rothacher removed the
body TO the county morgue, To be held
until such time as the crazed parents
can make funeral arrangements.
The fire Is believed to have resulted
from an over-heated stove, In which
soft coal was burned.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.--All the for
eign markets were cheerful today, and
at London there was q noticeable adj
vance In the price or British ConsQis
and Turkish, bulgarian Russian and
Japanese bonds. Sentiment there
was plainly affected by the reassuf-
ing advices concerning an early adj
justment OF the differences attending
the Balkan difficulty. Both railroad
shares and mining issues were strong
on the English market at London,
where discounts were a trifie easier.
Both the Bank of Austria-H Hungary
and the Bank OF Denmark advanced
their discount rates. At Paris, dis
counts were lower. and security prices
closed generally firm. as they did at
Berlin.
Movement OF prices here was irreg-
ular during the early trading, with
fractional gains In few shares. Then
the market became unsettled, and dur
ing the afternoon the lowest prices or
the day were made. The net changes
were not very important, however,
except In the case of Union Bag a
Paper issues, which broke sharply in
the afternoon. Just before the close
there was some heavy selling OF the
active shares, including Union Pacific

The Boil Weyi!.

Ne boil wevil has appeared
inhrge quantities in the cotton
feds Of the Vixen community.
There have been three hundred
caught in some fields. Most
farmers that | have talked with
nave caught from Is to 100. The
dig for us farmers to do is to
catch the first wevil that appears
on the cotton and pick off the
punctured squares that have not
fallen off Of the stalks, also pick
up those that have fallen on the
ground. If cotton is gone over
twice a week in this way, we
will be sure of a good cotton
crop in spite of the wevil.
1know from experience that
we can make cotton if we do this.
In 1909 | planted three acres in
cotton, fortified it fairly we'll,
and when the wevil first appear
ed | began catching them and
picking off the punctured squares
and continued this till the cotton
was about knee high, itbeing too
large to make much Roadway
finding the wevil, I left off
catching them, but still kept
picking up the squares till the
last Of July. / plowed it regular
till the last of August, and on
the three acres I made two heavy
bales of cotton, and the wevil
was the worst in the history of
the parish. was the only man
in this community that made a
bale of cotton, and the only one
that caught the wevil and pick
ed up the squares. | made good
cotton in 1910 and 1911 by fol-
lowing this plan.
We fathers have spent more
money for fertilizer than we
have since the wevil appeared
and planted more cotton, and if
we get discouraged and work our
