Paying Prisoners Wages.

Kansas is now paying the prison
ers of the Kansas penitentiary 10
cents day and the money is to be
used to help the dependent families
of the prisoners. Heretofore Kan
sas has been allowing ga cents a
day to each prisoner, to be given
him upon his release and on which
he could start life anew. The 1913
legislature passed a law increasing
that amount to 10 cents day, and
if there are dependent children of
the prisoner or a wife dependent
upon him the prison board is to pay
the money to the dependents instead
of to the prisoner on his release. Eff
forts were made to make the amount
25 cents a day to prisoners with rel
atives, but the legislature refused to
make the allowance.-New Orleans

Real Cause for Alarm.

Smith had just been operated on
for appendicitis, says Tit-Bits. Dur
ing his period of convalescence he be-
came quite chummy with the two 9TH

How are you feeling, boys?" said
Smith one morning to them.
"Oh, we are all right" they both
answered together, considering that
We had to undergo two operations.
why, how was that?" questioned
Smith, in an agitated voice.
Because the doctor assigned to
this ward is an idiot. In collecting
his instruments after the operation
he missed a needle and a pair OF
scissors. The former he found in me,
and the latter in my friend here on
the right. You see now the reason
for the two operations.

How to Feed Salt to Stock.

I am asked: How would you
feed salt to livestock?"
Salt may be given daily mixed with
the feed. If this be done, not over
three fourths to one ounce should be
given daily for every 1000 pounds of
the animals weight. After exten-
sive experiments Babcock concluded
that a dairy COW should have about
three fourths ounce for 1000 pounds
weight daily and three-ifths ounce
additional for every twenty pounds
of milk produced.
Owing to the danger of giving
the salt irregularly, and giving too
much at times, the best plan is to
give about one ounce a day for every
1000 pounds weight for about week
in order to satisfy any undue crav-
ing for it, and then put the salt in
boxes under shelter where the ami
mails can run to it and eat at will

Anderson, Aug. 16.-Clyde, the 10
year-old son of Luther Erskine, was
shot and wounded by Homer Eisman
at o'clock tonight, when Eisman
fired on a dog supposed to be mad as
it attacked young Erskine. The dog
attacked one or two people before
reaching the Eisman home. 1t had a
fit in front of the Eisman place on
Dickson avenue and Mr.. Eisman
hunted his gun. The Erskine child
was crossing the street and the dog
was attempting to attack him when
Eisman fired. The shot took effect
in the boy and also in the dog. The
boys condition is not considered
very serious. The dog ran off in a
wounded condition.

THE CALL OF THE WILD.
Montana Dog Led Wolf Pack Until
Killed by Hunters.

Bisley, large Airdale dog, owned
by W. H. Reber, of Butte, was killed
while leading pack of wolves near
Red Lodge, says Butte correspondence
in The New York World. Three
wolves were shot ct the same time.
The following story can be verified in
every detail and proves that London's S
Call of the Wild is not altogether
fiction.
Bisley was the special property of
Edward, w. H. Reber's son, and was
kept. on the Reber ranch. "He was
the best hunter I have ever seen, %
said the young man. Il have been
out with him many times in a boat
on Rosebud Lake. The ducks would
no sooner drop in the water than
Bisley was out of the boat and after
them. Late last winter he disappear
ed. A few weeks prior to that he
would go off in the woods, some times
staying away whole days. Then he
vanished altogether. I thought he
had attacked a cougar and got the
worst of it.
John Dunn had been troubled with
prowling wolves the last few months.
He saw the pack several times and
told of strange looking light-brown
wolf that led the bunch. He believed
that if he could get the leader the
wolves would cease their daring at
tacks upon his stock.
At last Mr.. Dunn and several COW
boys started after the bunch. They
hunted most of the day, setting
snares. The pack was rounded up
and four of the animals fell. The
leader was the first one shot, as Mr.
Dunn was particularly anxious to get
him. When Mr.. Dunn reached the
carcass he picked up, instead of a
wolf, the unusually large Airdale dog.
1t was Bisley, all right. A collar was
still around his neck and the name of
the owner on the brass tag.

STABLER WON'T ACCEPT OFFICE
Resigns as Mayor-Elect of St. Mat
theWs-His Reasons.

st. Matthews, Aug. 13.-A bomb
shell was thrown into the local NUM-
cipal camp this afternoon when ]. G.
Stabler, Esq, the newly elected may
or of St. Matthews, sent in his resig-
nation. 1t develops that the mayor
elect has been seriously considering
this matter since the election last
Thursday. He throws up the sponge
in answer to numerous and repeated
charges that there is a bare possibil-
ity of his majority Of 13 votes hav-
ing been accomplished by the negro
vote. twenty-five negroes voted.
Mr.. Stabler takes the ground that
he is a white Democrat and has the
respect of the best people, and that
he cannot afford to sacrifice this good
will and esteem by lying quietly un-
der the charge that he was hoisted
into Office by colored Republicans.
The situation is peculiar and Mr.. Sta
bier, it seems, was innocently made a
party to an unwise complication of
circumstances.
The fight, it is said, was really up
on Chief of Police Dowie and Clerk
Tom L. Buyck, both of whom are
good friends of Mr.. Stabler.
Under all the circumstances Mr..
Stabler feels that he cannot retain
his own self-respect and that of his
friends by resting under the charge of
fraud to procure his election. The
mayor-elect is an able and promising
attorney, who made splendid run
for the Senate last summer, and there
is no doubt about his having bright
future ahead, politically and other
wise. His friends regret exceedingly
the turn in local affairs by which the
town misses the services of an able
officer.

Officers Think 1t Impossible to Make
Money In Mountains Unless
Whiskey is Handled.

Greenville, Aug. 16.-Avowing
that he is innocent of the offense
for which he was sent to Jail and
declaring that he is grateful to Presi-
dent Wilson for his pardon and to
Congressman Johnson and to Senator
Tillman for their Intervention in his
behalf, Noah r. Wilson, well-to-do
citizen of Saluda township, this coun-
ty, who has been pardoned by the
president from a six months sentence
for violation of the internal revenue
laws, stated to reporter today that
he expects to leave the Jail tomorrow
for his mountain home to spend the
balance of his days.
Wilson who is now in his sixty
second year, is a man of means and
as he AYERS, has acquired most of
his money from the lumber business
in the mountains of Saluda town
ship. For several years Wilson was
a building contractor in Greenville.
Mountain Life, His Desire.
It was his life's desire. he stated,
to own a large plantation in the
mountains where he and his wife
and family could live away from the
humdrum of the city and having
some money from his building op-
erations he purchased a tract in Sa-
luda township, his present home
where he now owns about 900 acres
of wooded land, saw mill and a
spoke and handle factory. He laugh
ingly remarked today that his pros
perity probably aroused the suspi-
cions of the revenue officers, who, he
stated, are of the opinion that a
man cannot make money in the
mountains unless it is through IL
legal making and selling of whiskey.
He stated that he had never made a
drop of liquor in his life, but on the
contrary was eager to suppress block
dO1QS, dS he knew IL mSduI Iu1uot1OA
to any man.
Claims HISS Innocent.
He thinks that his arrest, which
was made some time after the seiz-
ure of distillery, was due to mis-
taken identity. He stated that he
was not even aware of the fact that
a still was in operation on his place,
and that he did not anticipate trial.
but thought that the grand jury
would throw the case out immediate
ly upon the lack of evidence. Upon
the return of an indictment against
him, he stated that he asked the
presiding judge to grant a contin-
uance of trial in order that he might
employ some of the best talent in the
state to represent him. He wanted
to be cleared of the crime, he said,
for the sake of wife and children.
'It was for the love and honor Of
them,'' said Mr.. Wilson, tearfully,
that I was anxious to be exonor-
ated. AS for myself I knew that I
was innocent and didn't object to
punishment.

AsTOR ESTATE $s8,986,611.
Vincent Astor Gets Mothers Share
i'm the Division.

New York, June 14.-The estate
of Col. John Jacob Astor, who per-
ished in the Titanic disaster, was Off
cially appraised this afternoon at
$86, ,966, ,611, Of which Vincent Astor
receives $63,904, ,499; Mrs. Made
line Force Astor, $7,678,896; Muriel
Astor, $4 4,S56,758, and John Jacob
Astor, son by his second marriage,
$2,922,672.
The estate Is declared to be the
largest ever appraised in this coun-
try. The cost OF determining it's
value was made remarkably low ow-
ing ton an understanding by which
the Astor estate bore one-half the ex-
penses and the State Of New York
the other half. This made it unnec-
essary for each side to employ ex-
perts with possibility Of having to
engage neutral appraisers in event of
a disagreement.
Aside from the announcement of
the amounts that revert to the heirs
there are two features OF special in
terest in the appraisal. One Is the
ahdavit OF the examiners that the
property embraced in the ante-nup-
tial agreement for Mrs. Ava willing
Astor, amounting to about $1,738,-
600, which was to have reverted to
her at the time Of her husband ,
death, now terminates and goes to
Vincent Astor for the reason that the
youths mother, although once Col.
Astor's wife, was not his widow. Mrs.
Ava Willing Astor divorced her hus-
band, whose legal widow is Mrs. Mad
cline Force Astor.
The second feature concerns the
Inheritance tax Of Col. Astor. The
estate saved a large sum by paying
50, 10000 to the state last October,
within six months Of Col. Astor's
death, this payment earning a S per
cent rebate. The sum mentioned
greatly exceeds any amount ever paid
TO any State as an Inheritance tax. It
is declared.
The appraisers placed the real es-
tate value at about 500 100000 and
the value of the personal property
close on to $25 100000. The real
estate includes Col. Astor's Fifth av-
enue home and his home estate,
Ferncliff, in Rhinebeck, N. Y, part Of
the old Astor House estate, and OF the
Waldorf-Astoria, the st. Regis and
hnickerbocker hotels, and other hotel
and office building properties. The
value Of much of it as fixed by the
appraisers is about 20 per cent above
the amount it was assessed by the
city in 1912.

nooToR MURDERED.
Young Widow shoots DIR. Guy Brink
ley and Kills Self.

Savannah, Ga, June 16.-Dr. Guy
o. Brinkley, a prominent young ply
sician of this city, was killed this
afternoon by Mrs. Eugene H. Whis-
nant, formerly Miss Katie KittleS,
who then turned her weapon, a .32
calibre Colts automatic revolver, on
herself, falling dead across the dead
body of Brinkley, with bullet in
her brain.
The young woman, who was a wild
ow, went to the office of DR.. Brink
ley accompanied by woman compan-
ion, whose name has not been ascer-
tanned. Mrs. Whisnant and the doc
tor went into the private office and
the other woman remained in the
outer office, leaving hastily when the
shooting began.
A few minutes after DR.. Brinkley
and Mrs. Whisnant entered the office
the firing began and the door opened
and DR.. Brinkley rushed out, follow
ed by Mrs. Whisnant, who was stead
lily firing upon him. DR.. Brinkley
called to a maid servant to get the
police and the woman ran for help.
Meantime Mrs. Whisnant pursued the
doctor to the porch and back into the
office, firing upon him all the time.
Her sixth shot entered the physicians s
heart, causing death. Without a mo-
ment's delay the woman turned the
weapon upon herself and fired a bull
let into her temple, causing instant
death.
DR.. Brinkley was a Virginian, COM
ing to Savannah from Suffolk, seve-
raj years ago. He was unmarried.
and was prominent in business and
social circles.
His slayer was about 27 or 2S
years old, slim, with dark brown
eyes and hair. She was married to
Whisnant in Charlotte, n. c., in
1906, while he was i'll with typhoid
fever, from which he afterward died.
Since then she has made her home
with her mother here.
