eight inches wide and two to three
inches thick, is imported into TINS
country, this particular shipment be-
ing shipped to Mr.. Bowlby from Della
ware. The difficulty in obtaining it
makes this extremely costly.
The refrigerator, Of course, is cold
and clean. The savory smell Of the
freshly smoked meats hanging on all
sides Of the room is delicious. A
trip through the plant ought TO give
one q better appreciation OF the pro
cesses through which the meat must
apss before it is ready for the table.
q In a circular recently issued by the
company handling the equipment, a
dozen different firms over the coun-
try using the outfit were mentioned,
Among them-and the only one IN
the state or North D~akota-was men
toned the modern plant of Mr.. Bowl
by of Edgeley, ~. d. Prof. E."F. Laid,
state pure food commissioner, wrote
him a letter crediting him with the
fact that his shop had stood the vari-
Gus tests applied to meat markets
over the state, with a standing Of 100
per cent.
Not satisfied with what lie has al
ready done, Mr.. Bowlby is renovatlng
his laughter house, to the end that
he may have more sanitary conditions
than he ever had before. When his
improvements are completed, the
slaughter house alone will cost him
over fifteen hundred dollars. His
smokehouse, too, is another indica-
ton Of his progressiveness. 1t is in
the rear Of the main building, abso-
lutely fireproof. and made like a fur
mace. He burns only maple wood,
that giving the meats the best pos
sible flavor.
When Mr.. BoWlby took tho plant
over six years. ago, it was worth but
a fraction Of what 1T is now valued
at. There was little system in the
conduct Of its business, and like many

other concerns, it had too much of
its capital ION the books" to be able
to afford the best of service. Now,
without any abrupt change in meth
cd, his business has increased in cash
receipts immensely.
Recently he. installed Il checking
system in weighing his meats. He
himself looks more after the buying
of his livestock and see it weighed
into the slaughter house. He knows
what it weighs before it is killed and
the scale at the shop weighs it be-
for it is given in to the man in direct
charge of the market. Thus strict
account is kept OF actual loss in
weight in Strengthening. He knows
just how much is credited TO the maj
in the shop and expects to see a
correct return in cash receipts. II
a mistake occurs, he knows where to
find it. Nothing more methodical
could be devised for the everage mod,
ern meat market.
The meat market is only part OF
the business OF the EdGeley SANITARY
| Market and Grocery. AS fine and
fresh a stock of groceries as a be
found anywhere is to be found in this
market. An idea of the part the
market and grocery plays as market
basket for Edgeley may be secured
by comparing the bushes sdone last
year to the buhiness done this year,
Business done for the month Of June,
last year, was $2,19@32-this June,
$3,229.53.
Mr.. Bowlby has now invested in
his market all of $1,000, but the ex,
pense and maintenance of his stOr.
age plant will amount to almost moth
ing compared with the benefits
gained. It has cost him only $1.1S
a day to keep his reirigerating sys-
TEN in operation. EIe has a plant
which cannot be equalled in the state,
and Edgeley should shake hands with

Fl. SMITH ADOPTS
 COMMISSION FORM
UsaVe Overwhelming Proof of Un- popularity of the Old Plan of Government by Voting
 to i for New.

Ft. Smith, March 6.-That the present form of municipal govern uent IS decidedly unpopular to the voters of tt. Smith was clearly demonstrated yesterday when the commission form of gOVernment was adopted by the overwhelming vote of 1,679 for and 46l against, a majority of 1,218, or nearly i to 1. he issue carried in every one of the eight precincts, in some as high as 61a to 1. A total of 2,140 votes were case, which is considered a fair vote.
 Opposition to commission gov ernment proved a failure long be- fore the voting closed. The first few hours the polls were open in- dicated that commission govern ment was extremely unpopular, more so than had been generally supposed by it's most ardent adVo- cates. By noon the balloting al- ready assured the adoption of the charter, and from that time on to the time the polls closed it was only question as to how great the ma jority would be.

OFFERED POISON TO A BABY.
New York Robbers Tried to Torture
 Woman Through Her Child.

New York, March 5.-Robbers tor tured Mrs. Harry Jacobs, wife of a postal clerk, by binding and gag ging her last night and in her presence offering her l6-month-old baby a slice of bread spread with poison, because she would not re- veal where she kept her money, ac- cording to the story she told the police.
 After binding the mother and tying the baby in its high chair, Mrs. Jacobs said the three men took bottle marked "poison" from a closet and poured the con- tents on a piece of bread. The mother was told she would see the baby die unless she gave the in formation.
 Nod your head if you will tell us." one of the trio said to Mrs. Jacobs, as he held the bread out to the child.
 The baby knocked it to the floor. They repeated the offer and again the baby refused the poison. Aban- doning this effort the men searched the apartments. A pOcketbook containing S23 was taken and the thieves. left the house before the woman could release herself and give the alarm.

MAKES ROAD DRAGGING FUN.
Hamilton, Mo-, Man Suggests Plan
 for EcOnOmizing Energy.

Hamilton, Mo-, March 5.-Jeffer- son Sturgis is one of Hamilton's wagon builders. Good roads-good wagons. Poor roads-any old wa gon will do. One of the main traV- eled roads in the Hamilton neigh borhood is the road to Kingston, a town 12 miles away, and not on a railroad. Heavy freight wagons ply daily between Hamilton and King ston. The road is not rock road, and those heavy wagons cut it up badly.
 Like most Missouri roads this one is up one rolling hill and down an- other. The wagon driver has his brakes on half the way going and half the way coming back. This fact suggests a good road scheme to Mr. Sturgis. Let him tell it him. self:
 Before the day of brakes, team sters carried a log chained to the coupling pole. When the wagon came to a steep down grade this log was allowed to drag on the ground Why not attach a V-shaped road drag to the coupling pole and use it instead of the brake? Drop the drag on the down-hills going and you'll drag half the road. Drop the drag on the down-hills coming back and you'll drag the other half. Dc you get me?"

Tn. End and the Beginning.

When Murrell was brought to trial his lawyers were able to produce a host of witnesses whose sworn testi. mony showed that so simple thing as perjury had no terrors for them. His fight for liberty was waged in and out of court with incredible bitter ness, and, as judge and jury were only human, the outlaw escaped with the relatively light sentence of twelve years imprisonment; he died, how ever, before the expiration of his term.
 The judge, when he returned to Raleigh, resumed his own name of Turberville, and he allowed it to be known that he would not be offended by the prefix of General. During his absence he had accumulated wealth of evidence of undoubted authenticity, with the result that his claim against the Fentress estate was sustained by the courts, and when The Oaks with its stock and slaves was offered for sale, he, as the principal creditor, was able to buy 1t in.
 One of his first acts after taking possession of the property was to have Mahaffy reinterred in the grove of oaks below his bedroom windows. ] and he marked the spot with a great square of granite. The judge. visibly shaken by his emotions, saw the massive boulder go into place.
 Harsh and rugged like the nature | of him who lies beneath it-but en- during, too, as he was," he murmured. | He turned to Yancy and Hannibal, and added: You will lay me beside him when die"
 | Then when the bitter struggle came | and he was wrenched and torturedD by longings, his strength was in remem' bering his promise to the dead man. and it was his custom to go out under | the oaks and pace to and fro beside | Mahaffy's grave until he had gained | the mastery of himself. Only Yancy and Hannibal knew how fierce the conflict was he waged, yet in the end | he won that best earned of all VIC
 tories. the victory over himself
 My salvation has been Coa'iF | thing. it was bought with the blood
 of my friend" he told Yancy.
 It was Hannibars privilege to give
 Cavendish out of the vast Quintard | tract such farm as the earl had never | dreamed of owning even in his most
 feryid moments of imagining; and ne
 abandoned all idea of going to Eng
 land to claim his title. At the judge
 suggestion he named the place Earl Court. He and Polly were entirely
 satisfied with their surroundings aho
 never ceased to congratulate them
 selves that they had left Lincoln eouh'
 ty. They felt that their friends, the

 titled people. were still Of an equal

EXPLOSION KILLS
 3 IN HOT SPRINGS
Accumulation of Natural Gas Caused Great Havoc in Heart of Shopping District Friday
 Half Million Fire Loss.

Hot Springs, March 7-Three persons are believed to have been killed in a fire today which de- stroyed five business houses, caus- ing loss estimated at $500,000 in the heart of the retail business sec tion of the city.
 Those believed dead are strangers, two women and one man.
 Several persons were injured, three of them seriously.
 The fire spread rapidly, the fire department being handicapped by poor water pressure for time, as well as by the dense crowds which interfered with the work of the firemen.
 The fire started shortly before noon, and had it's start in an eXplo- sion of natural gas.
 Situated in the heart of the re- tail business section, the shopping district, the excitement was intense The fire originated in the establish ment of Mattar BroS., a firm ol Greeks which operates big store where is sold Oriental goods anC novelties of all kinds. The firm has for years had two auction sales daily, and one of these was in pro- gress at the time of the fire, largely attended, but principally by visitor, | to this city.
 The explosion tore the front out of the store and caused part oI the first floor to fall in. Almost 1T a moment the entire building wa, a mass of flames, an wdithin al incredible space of time it appeared that adjoining buildings would bt | destroyed.
 Several persons in the building al the time of the explosion were knocked unconscious.
 J. L. Warren, a visitor from Pe- kin, H., dashed into the burning building before the fire departmen arrived and succeeded in carrying out the unconscious form of Leotf WillOughby, one of the clerks. l Warren stated that as he carried the girl out, he saw three womeI and one man lying unconscious or the floor of the building, two O them pinned down by heavy ma terial which had fallen upon them
 The firemen were greatly handi- capped by poor water pressure, due it was thought, to damage to th' mains by the explosion. The indi- cations at 1 o'clock were that tn, entire block of buildings would b, destroyed.
 The Mattar Bros. store was abou midway between the American Ma tional Bank building and the Ar lington hotel The entire shoppin district was crowded with peopl this forenoon and coming just be- fore noon, as it did, the explosion occurred at time when tn, crowds were, perhaps, larger thai usual.
 The loss to the Mattar Bros. es tablishment alone is estimated a lSi00,000.

agreed Darlington.
 He was still at Belle Plain, living in what had been Wares office, while the Cavendishes were domiciled at the big house. He had arranged with the judge to crop a part of that hope full gentleman's land the very next season. the fact that lawsuit inter- vened between the judge and posses sion seemed a trifiing matter, for Car rington had become infected with the judges point of view, which did not admit of the possibility of failure; but he had not yet told Betty of his plans. Time enough for that when he left Belle Plain.
 His silence concerning the future had caused Betty much thought She wondered if he still intended going south into the Purchase; she was not sure but it was the digniiied thing for him to do. She was thinking of this now as they went forward over the rustling leaves, and at length she turned in the saddle and faced him.
 T am going to miss Hannibal dreadfuily-yes, and the judge, and Mir. Yancy!" she began.
 I an to be missed, too, am l, Bet y" he inquired, leaning toward her.
 You, Bruce ?-Oh, I shall miss yHu, too, dreadfully-but then, per haps ill five years, when you come back"
 Five years!" cried Darlington, but he understood something of what was passing in her mind, and laughed shortly. Five years, Betty?" he re. peated, dwelling on the numeral.
 Betty hesitated and looked thought ful. Presently she stole a sNrrepti- tious glance at Darlington from under her long lashes, and went on slowly, as though she were making careful choice of her words.
 When you come back in three years, Bruce"
 Darlington still regarded her fixed ly There was light in his black eyes that seemed to penetrate to the most secret recesses of her heart and soul.
 Three years, Betty?" he repeated again.
 Betty, her eyes cast down, twisted her rein nervously between her slim, white fingers, but CGrrington's steady glance never left her sweet face, framed by it's halo Of bright hair. She stole another look at him from be- heath her dark iashes.
 Three years, Betty" he prompted.
 Bruce, don't stare at me that way, it makes me forget what was going to say! When you come back-next year" and then she lifted her eyes to his and he saw that they were full of sudden tears. Bruce, don't go away-don't go away at all"
 Darlington slipped from the saddle and stood at her side.
 Do you mean that, Betty?" he asked. He took her hands loosely in his and relentlessly considered her crimsoned face. q reckon it will al- ways be right hard to refuse you any thing-here is one settler the Pur- chase will never get!" and he laughed softly.
 Tt was the Purchase-you were go- ing therel" she cried.
 No, I wasn't Betty; that noticn died it's natural death long ago. When we are sure you will be safe at Belle Plain with just the Cavendishes, l am going into Raleigh to wait as best can until spring" He spoke so gravely that she asked in quick alarm.
 And then, Bruce-what?"
 And then Oh, Betty, I'm starv- ing" All in a moment he lifted her slender figure in his arms. gathering her close to him. And then. this and this-and this, sweetheart-and more-and-oh, Bettyl Bettyl"
