 Besides, when Detective I4aughlin went through the house occupied by Johnston he found the shot gun was 10 bore, the largest caliber of shot gun made and that Johnston had a number of shells containing No. 2 shot with heavy load of powder behind the shot.
 So with contradictory statements from Johnston, with the disappear. anoe of Shepman, who when last seen was with Johnston, with the shot gun found that might have answered the purpose, and with Johnston bearing the record of having slain one man, and with several small but important details yet to be worked out, Deeec- tive Laughlin believes that he nas at least sufficient evidence on which to hold Johnston until there is a com plete investigation. He believes that the chain of circumstantial evidence
 
 It is stated that Johnston resided on the Hickman place, and that de was not supposed to have any money, and was being furnised with groceries and necessities. When arrested John ston had s550 on his person, aud had purchased some onion sets ill the morning. The detective also stated that Johnston had bought some new kitchen ware within the past few days, the ware showing no signs of use.
 She2man is supposed to have had S22.5 50 on his perscn when last seen, and as he was man who scarcely ever spent anything. but lived about with those with whom he could lodge for work or with whom he could trade, there Is little likelihood that Shep- man lost any of the money.
 In brief 1t appears that unless Shep- man comes 10 fight, there will be serious charge pressed against John ston for his murder.

How to Pack Eggs.

A clean stone jar holding six to 10
gallons is the best vessel for packing
down eggs for family use, but tight
wooden firkin or other vessel will ans
wer very well. The eggs must be
clean and fresh. Dirty shells and
cracked or spoiled eggs will injure and
possibly spoil the entire lot.
Place the eggs in the jar as they are
gathered and cover with q solution of
water glass (silicate of soda) one part
to 10 or Is parts water. Cover the
jar to prevent evaporation. Water
glass is an amber colored liquid which
can be procured Of druggists or deal
ers in poultry supplies. It costs about
25 cents per quart, or less by the gall
lon.
Pure water should be used, rain wa
ter if you can get it. The jar should
be placed in q cool cellar or room
where it will not freeze in winter.
According to Farm and Home, eggs
preserved in this way will keep IN
good condition eight or nine months.

Make the Cellar Sanitary.

The cellar should be carefully kept
at all times, but never is it's thorough
renovation more imperative than in
the spring. Fungous spores which
have lain dormant all winter are ready
for growth with the advent of warmer
weather. Unused vegetables stored
in the cellar must receive attention
lest decay render the air impure.
After all the food has been removed
from the storeroom, all vegetable
stores should be examined and such
varieties as no longer appeal to the
appetite should be at once removed.
Potatoes will still continue as house,
hold supply. They should be sorted
and sprouts rubbed off.
In those parts of the cellar used for
food or milk give the shelves and
tables thorough scrubbing with hot
water in which washing soda, two
tablespoonfuls to 10 quarts, mas been
dissolved. Pay as much attention to
the underside of the shelves as to the
upper. Wipe them with cloths wrung
from clean water. Movable shelf
boards, etc. should be carried out and
laid in the sun to dry. The air should
be allowed to circulate freely through
the cellar.
The next step is to give the walls a
good coat of whitewash, says Farm
and Home. This is prepared by slak-
ing two two-pound cans Of whitewash
lime in a pail. Put the lime into the
pail, add water enough to cover it,
stir it with a long stick and when it
begins bubbling add little more
water. Let it boil without further at
tention. When this boiling has sub
sided, add water enough to make it OF
q creamy consistency.
Now 60 over the floor with a long,
handled stiff brush, using warm water
to which one teaspoonful of carbolic
acid to every 10 quarts has been
added. Mop as dry as possible.

New York HoteImen Make Conces-
sions, Then Stand Firm.
New York-The Indications are that
on the culinary battlefield the nap
kined drummer boys are soon to roll
the signal for retreat. The battle is
about done. Here and there may be
heard family the sounds of distant
skirmishes, but the great war of the
walters, omnibuses and cooks against
the hotels and restaurants is gradually
resolving itself into the hush of time.
Around the camp of the Interna-
tional Hotel Workers union were few
of that gallant army that went forth .
week ago to conquer the hosts of hos
telries. Most of the veterans of the
struggle are now slipping back into
their uniforms of the dining room and
kitchen.
They do not gain recognition of the
union, but the walters won an increase
of 20 per cent, giving them $50 a
month instead of SIS. and the omni-
buses get $22 month instead OF $40.
A shorter workday, overtime pay,
elimination of fines and better treat
ment are guaranteed by the offer OF
the Hotel Mems association made seV-
eral days ago.

Best Way to Set Posts.

After many years. experience have
concluded by placing the small end OF
the post in the ground. A post will
last much longer than with the large
end down. The reason for this is OBJ
vious. When limbs are cut off it al
ways leaves cup that holds more or
less water, and where worms have
worked the holes are always down.
ward. These holes hold some moist
ure, but by placing the top end down
this moisture runs out and leaves the
post dry.
At first thought it seems as though
the post with the large end up would
not make good appearance. How
ever, says an expert in Farm and
Home, l have generally found that the
large end is the straight end, and fire.
quently there is crook at the small
end. If this be placed in the ground,
the fence when completed looks much
better. I also have found that small
posts for wire fence last longer than
large ones, for they do not hold moist
ure as long. A post should never be
reset until it is we'll seasoned. The
end posts should always be placed in
concrete; then there need be no brac-
ing or anchors used.

Preparations Made for Cold Summer
Along Lake Beaches.
Chicago Lined and fur trimmed
bathing suits are to be the style fos
Chicago beaches during the summer
of 1912. Designers for fashionable
dressmaking shops and tailors for
women are already completing gar
ments that will be ready for the first
fair day for swimming. Furs for the
new style water garments are taken
from water animals. Sealskins, musk
rat, otter, mink and beaver will be
used principally. The unusually cold
weather is said to have influenced the
departure in bathing suits. It is also
asserted that in this part Of the coun-
try the water is always little toe
cool for perfect comfort. Fur trim
mings are said by dressmakers to have
an effect in maintaining an even tenn
perature that is surprising to one who
has never worn such garment IN
water.

ers from chasing up and down over

McNAMARAs LOSE CREDITS.
Brothers Refuse to Abide by Prison
Warden's Rules.

San Francisco-James B. and John
]. Mcnamara, the former serving life
and the latter IA years at San Quentin
in connection with the Los Angeles
dynamiting cases, are both under the
ban at San Quentin prison for failure
to do the work assigned them.
The two ex-union labor leaders have
had their credits taken from them,
and must remain without privileges
until they show disposition to con-
form to the rules of the prison and
perform the daily tasks allotted to
them in common with the other pris-
oners. Warden Hoyle has admitted
that the Mcnamara brothers had
fallen foul of the prison laws Of dis
cipline.
Their position is precisely that oc-
cupied for 80 days by Abraham Ruef.
one of the tasks assigned both
brothers was handling 100 yards of
cloth in the jute mill each day. They
proved stubborn, and after repeated
warnings that they must do the work
exactly as other prisoners did, were
removed from the mill.

THREE YEAR HOMESTEAD
BILL UP TO PRESIDENT

Washington, D. C.-Without a'word
of debate, without dissenting vote,
the house of representatives agreed to
the conference report on the Borah-
Jones three-year homestead bill and it
was signed by Speaker Clark. As
soon as it is signed by the vice presi-
dent, it will go to the White House
for President Taft's approval and the
general expectation is that the bill
will become law before the end of
the week.
It is customary for the president to
refer all public land bills to the secre-
tary of the interior before signing,
and this course may be taken with the
three-year bill, but that is not likely.
The action of the house was accom-
plished without any friction, those in
charge of the bill waiting until it's OPP
ponents were out of the hall before
calling it up. Five minutes after the
conference report was read, it had
been approved by the house without
rollcall. Half an hour later some who
intended opposing the adoption of
the conference report found it too
late.
If the session of congress lasts long
enough Senator Borah will endeavor
to get through the house his correlated
bill directing the patenting of home
steads on government irrigation pro-
jects as soon as entrymen comply with
the homestead law. This bill has
passed the senate, but has not been
reported by the house committee. If
it is enacted, homesteaders on govern
ment projects can get patent in three
years, instead of waiting ten, as at
present required.

FARM AND ORCHARD
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Little Helpers on the Farm,

Little Helpers on the Farm,
Among the willing workers who
work for nothing and board them
selves are the birds, which have often
been called the farmers best
friends. " They assist the farmer in
three distinct ways-as insect eaters,
as consumers of weed seed and as de-
stroyers Of large numbers of field
mice, gophers and other rodents. En-
tomologists estimate that the destruc-
ton OF agricultural products from in
sects amounts to over $500, 600, 900 q
year. What it might be were not
such vast army of birds engaged
daily from dawn until dark in making
war upon these various insect pests
can only be vaguely realized, says
Farm and Home.
Among the birds that eat insects
are the fiy-catchers, warblers, swal-
lows and chimney swifts, which live
exclusively on insects. Many others,
such as the blackbirds and several va
rieties Of hawks, depend on insects for
a large part of their food. The mead
ow lark has large appetite for in
sects and in the course of a season rids
the meadows and pastures of countless
pests that are injurious to crops. Even
the much abused crow has fondness
for cutworms that almost equals his
liking for corn.
AS seed eaters some birds are most
tireless. To this group belong the
large number of sparrows. Many
other birds eat seeds; in fact, most
birds eat both insects and seeds in
varying amounts. A large number of
birds feed on field mice, gophers,
ground squirrels, moles, ETC., chief of
all being hawks and owls.

TROOPS LAND
ON CUBAN SOIL
Havana Believes Move Is Begin

,,o,tion Is Ostensibly to Protect
American Lives and Properly
Warsnips En- Route.

Havana - American marines have
,.nded on Cuban soil. To the number
10 $50, under command of Colonel
u Tncas. they came ashore at Cal
nsneria and proceeded by train to
guantanamo City,.
While it is officially asserted this
o,tion was taken solely to protect
American and other foreigon proper
tps the impression became general
that it was a preliminary step to
American Intervention. This caused
excitement at the capital.
Later it became known that the
landing was in response to an urgent
appeal to the commandment of the
United States naval station by the
Chamber of Commerce of Guantanamo,
10 afford protection to the numerous
foreign estates in the vicinity.
One hundred and twenty additional
marines were dispatched to Guantan-
amo and the American force probably
will be ample to safeguard the foreign
properties in that district.
There was great excitement IN
Havana on the circulation of report
that four American battleships were
on their way from Key West.
The rumor was current that the
ships had been signalled off Moro
Castle and were expected to enter the
harbor within an hour. The excite
mont subsidized on recent of the news
that the warships had been ordered to
Guantanamo.
The senate approved the recon-
mendation of the committee on laws
that the president be authorized to
suspend the constitutional guarantees,
but only in the Province of Oriente.
This was approved also by the house
of representatives. The senate passed
bill authorizing President Gomez to
expend 81, 900, 900 for increase of the
armed forces.
