Spencer swore that several prison.
ers committed suicide while he was in
Joliet, rather than endure solitary
confinement imposed as punish

Spencer's story was striking ar

Claughrey and Murphy.
"Convicts are sent out to fulfill
contracts with big companies, said
Spencer, land the representatives of
whatever company they're working
for pays the guards $40. to keep the
men speeding up.
eff they don't work fast enough
they're strung up by their hands and
sometimes left there for two weeks.
Another form of punishment is the
solitary confinement, where negro,
who had been convicted of raping
and then numbering white woman,
was allowed to beat them if they
whimpered. 1t is in solitary confine-
ment that mans murderous in

CHARGE AGAINST PEN
Henry Spencer, confessed MUIR

Mrs. Mildred Allison-Rexroat and
possible connection with a number
of other crimes, today made the SEN
sational charge that Adolph Leutgert,
Chicago sausage manufacturer, who
was convicted of killing his wife and
disposing of her body at his factory,
died in the Joliet penitentiary from
beating administered by a negro con-
vict at the order of prison officials,
and was not victim of consumption, 1
as was reported.
"Leutgert was put in solitary con-

place, put in a gasoline or electric
pump, and pipe the water to all the
various buildings on the farm.
Last year four tanks were erected
for crude oil, to be used in smudg-
ing to prevent damage from frost.
Five thousand smudge pots were put
out last year and filled, but it was
never necessary to light them. The
combined capacity of the four tanks
is 10000 gallons Of oil, or one car
load. The oil was hauled in tanks
from Talent and pumped into stor-
age tanks, but it is hoped that by
another year it will be possible to
run the tank cars direct to the or
chard over the interurban.
The Suncrest Orchard will this
spring lay carload of tile, most of
the ditch for which is already dug.
The most of the apples shipped
from the orchard last season were
Jonathans, but few Spitz and New
town trees being in bearing, and they
for the first time.
Another block of the orchard,
which is set with apples and pears
with peach filters, will produce sew
eral thousand boxes of peaches the
coming summer if the present indi-
cations of budding are fulfilled.
Mr.. Meader is an ardent believer
in the necessity OF thorough tillage
not only for young trees but even
more so for bearing orchards, and
the entire tract will be plowed deep
ly and narrowed and kept cultivated
during the growing season.
Over 100 swarms of bees have
been procured and placed in colonies
throughout the orchard to assist il
the pollenization OF the fruit
Something of the magnitude O
the business will be gathered from
the fact that there are accommoda
tions being prepared for over 1Ot
men during the busy season. Boxe
are received in carload lots, and i
the interurban does not tap the or
chard before the time to market th
fruit, a five-ton motor truck will b,
purchased to haul the product t
Talent to be loaded
The Suncrest Orchard is of grea
value to the upper Bear creek val
ley, not only because of the larg
amount of labor which it employs
but because of the lessons in practi
cal orchard work it gives the labor
ers and others and as an object les
son of one mans faith in the valley
The Suncrest, unlike many other or
chard propositions, is not a proposi
tion of a manager spending tn
money of a large number of specu
- lators who are each contributing
- 1t is a case of one man putting Il
Z the entire amount which is spent b
{ his manager, under the supervisio
u of the owner; it is an actual ev
, dence of the faith of a man who
willing to risk large amounts in Of
charding as a private enterprise, nc
as a speculation with the intentio
. IN unload onto others

COUSIN is FAMOUS.
Cousin of c. ID. Burgan of Talent
Finds Consumption Cure.

Minneapolis, Feb. An article
appears in the Daily News today to
the effect that DR.. j. II. Burgan, a
leading Minneapolis physician, has
discovered a tuberculosis cure that
local physicians declare will rival the
wonderful cures claimed for the dis
covery of DR., Friedman, the Ger
man scientist, whose serum has been
the subject of so much discussion
during the past few months.
The basis of the serum, according
to DR. Burgan, is taken from a
healthy pig. AS soon as he has ex.
perimented further with the posi-
bilities of his tuberculosis cure, Dr.
Burgan will make it public.

SERMON FOR SAINT PATRICK'S DAY
Rev. James Mackin Breaches Eoquently Upon Irelands Apostle and Patron Saint-His Wonderful Life Guide to Faith-Raised Erin From Pagan State

At St. Patricks church Sunday evening St. Patrick was the timely subject of an interesting sermon by Rev. James Mackin. o. P. of New Haven. There was an unusually large attendance at the vesper service Father Mackin spoke in part as fol- lows:
 The law of God was in his heart ' regarding Holy King David. There could be no euIogy more illustrative of saintly character than these words. Man often says too much or too little. or his words are not exact. but the Holy Ghost sees things as they are and expresses, things as He sees them. He says much in few words, as in this case of King David The law of God was in his heart" These words we can also say of our holy father, patron and apostle of Ireland St. Patrick whose feast we are about to celebrate
 Law of God in His Heart.
 The law of God was also in his heart. He grew up and branched out into a man after Gods own heart. filled with virtues. He took the law of God for his guide through life and was pro- tected by it. He learned to know the Divine Redeemer who taught him how to serve and love God with all his heart. He knew the comma ndments time God raises up a strong and noble man in the church, fashioned aftel Himself, to guide others through the tempestuous seas of mortal life to the haven of eternal bliss. St. Patrick's life stands before us as guide to lead us on our way. His whole life from beginning to end was wonderful AS to where he was born, and just when, there may be some doubt. but it matters little. He gave himself and his whole life to the salvation of Ire land, and that is what interests us; that he planted the love of God deep in the hearts of our forefathers and that it is living and bringing forth fruit today one hundred fold.
 Purposed to Save Ireland. Q
 He came to Ireland as boy, a slave and remained there some tins in bondage. While there he studied the people, their nature, their GUS toms and their language. It was then that he determined to give his life to the salvation of these people He saw their need, how low their religion had fallen. At length he escaped from his prosecutors and went to Italy, where he devoted himself to the study of re Ifgion, preparing himself for the priest hood. He was ordained and went back to that country, to which he had to give his life He suffered cold hunger and persecution till called by the angels to receive his reward
 The work that St Patrick did was to the work of Jesus Christ
