MAY CLEAR MURDER MYSTERY
Case of Staying Near Altoona in 1908
Reopened by Confession of Man
Held in Chicago.

Eau Claire.-The mystery of MUIR
der committed near Altoona more than
five years ago may be cleared up by
the confession of Robert Hodgins, held
in Chicago, who admits that he per
petrated the crime for the purpose of
robbery. In November, 1908, the body
of w. E. Murray, railroad laborer,
was found on the outskirts of Altoona.
His skull had been crushed and
large sum of money he was supposed
to carry was missing. George White,
another laborer, was arrested for the
crime, but finally acquitted for lack
of evidence. The story told by Hold
gins to the Chicago officers closely cor
responds to the facts of Murrays MUIR
der and the Eau Claire county officials
will probably bring him here and re-
open the case.

BACKACHE-R RHEUMATISM
QUICKLY VANISHES
Even Most Chronic Sufferers Find
Relief From Few Doses
of Crox0ne.

Croxone soon relieves such condi-
lions because it reaches the very
roots of the disease. 1t soaks right
into the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
through the walls and Innings; cleans
out the little filtering cells and glands;
neutralizes and dissolves the poison
GUS uric acid substances that lodge In
the joints and muscles to scratch and
trritate and cause rheumatism; heals
the inf1amed membranes of the blad-
der, and cleans out and strengthens
the stopped-up, lifeless kidneys so
they can filter and sift all the poisons
from the blood, and drive it out Of
the system.
So sure, so positive, SO quick and
lasting, are the results obtained from
the use of Croxone, that three doses
day for few days are often all that
is required to end the worst backache,
regulate the most annoying bladder
disorders, and overcome the numerous
other similar conditions.
Croxone is SO prepared that it Is
out results.
An original package costs but tri-
fle, and all druggists are authorized to
return the purchase price If Croxone
fails to give desired results, regard
less of how old you are, how long
you have suffered, or what else has
failed.-Adv.

Tickied a Mule,

Little Paul Porpare had heard the
mules laugh, or at least make noises
that sounded like laughter, and SO
when he saw a sad-faced jack stand
ing loose near a stable at Cypress av-
enue and Troutman street, Brooklyn,
he decided it should be cheered UP.
Little Paul-he Is five years old and
lives at 81 Wyckoff avenue-got a
straw and tickled the mules ear. The
mule sort Of grinned and shook its
head, but didn't hee-haw. Then little
Paul tried again. This time the mule
whirled about quickly, raised his heels
and the next sounds that little Paul
heard were the clang of an ambulance
bell and the hee-haw of the mule, COM
bined. The surgeon from the German
hospital bandaged up PauPs face and
hands, upon which he had slid along
the street after alighting. Then his
mother took him home.-New York

Enuineer Saved Many Lives.

La Crosse.-Investigat by officers
of the Burlington wreck at Nelson, in
which one man was killed and eigh-
teen were injured, shows that Engi-
neer M. H. Dorsey undoubtedly saved
the lives of many of his passengers by
prompt action in face of the impend
ing collision. Dorsey had started to
pull in on a siding when an express
train appeared close by, running sixty
miles an hour. There was not time
for Dorsey to pull his train clear onto
the siding, so he backed onto the main
track and took upon his locomotive
the force of the collision.

STATE LEADER IN
GRAIN AND GRASS
REPORT OF TIM AGRICULTURAL
BOARD PUTS WISCONSIN
AHEAD IN UNION.
GREAT RECORD FOR NORTH
Past Year Has Been Unusually Pros
porous One for Farmers Throughout
CommonWea - Potatoes Suffer
From Blight.

Madison.-The report of the state
agricultural department just issued
shows the year 1913 has been highly
productive to the farmers of the state
of Wisconsin, this state leading all
other states in the union in the pro-
duction of grains and grasses. This
is accounted for by favorable eli
matte conditions, and the fact that
Wisconsin farmers are giving more
attention to the selection of seed and
the preparation of the soil for plant
ing, and cultural practices through
out the season.
The average yield of wheat for
the state is 1872 bushels, the central
and southern divisions showing a
yield of 1914 as against 1877 for the
northern section. The average yield
of rye in the northern division is
179 bushels; central division, 17.5;
southern division, 1872; the general
average for the state being 17.9. The
average yield per acre of barley for
the entire state is 28.7 bushels, each
division of the state showing about
the same yield per acre This is
also true of oats, the general aver
age yield per acre for the entire
state being 1913 bushels. The yield
per acre of corn (shelled) is 1871
bushels, the northern division of the
state showing a yield of 36.S bush
els; central division, 1873; southern
division, 1872. The average yield Of
buckwheat is 1873 bushels per acre.
Flax, 1916 bushels per acre; beans,
1919 bushels per acre; peas, 1873
bushels per acre. Blight and early
frost damaged potatoes to consid-
cradle extent in some of the larger
potato producing counties.
The average yield of tobacco for
the entire state is 1904 bushels. The
yield in the principal tobacco produc-
ing counties of the state is as fol-
lows: Dane county, 1875 pounds;
Vernon county, 1850 pounds; Rock
county, LOO pounds; Columbia
county, 400 pounds; Crawford
county, 975 pounds.
