STRONG SUSPICION
That John Mcdonald, PORT

Found Dead Near ScaTboro, Be-
side Track, Hole in Head.

body of John j. Mcdonald, aged 81, Of
this city was found beside the rail

An overhead bridge is situated
about 50 feet the other side of where
the body was found and there was a
theory that the man might have been
riding on a freight train and have
been hit by the bridge and knocked
off, but Coroner II. W. Rich, who con-
Quoted The autopsy, rejects TINS the
DRY absolutely He says that the hole
in the head could only have been made
by sharp instrument and that the
fact that the mans clothes We're per-
feotly clean shows that he could have

A posse of sheriffs went about through
Searboro. today, but could find noth-
ing that would give them any clue u
who killed the man. if he met with
foul play.

on the Maine Central, about half mile

inches in height, and wore a dark blue

Washington. Aug. 11.-John Lind,
personal representative of President
Wilson, to investigate the Mexican
situation, arrived safely in Mexico
City, last night. according to advioes
received at the state department
from Charge O'Shaughnessy of the
United States embassy, at an early
hour this morning. Secretary Bryan
remained at his desk until long after
midnight to receive the news.
News of the safe arrival of Mr.. Lind
with his wife and party in the Next
can capital followed several hours OF
suspense. The complete absence of any
information of the progress of the
party from the time it left Vera cruz,
early yesterday morning. added to the
uneasiness which was heightened by
vague rumors of attacks on Mr. Lima
and his family and associates. Pres
ident Wilson had retired when word
of Mr.. Linds safe arrival was re-
ceiyed and he was not awakened.
Secretary Bryan remained at ms
desk, until 1.30 O'Clock, this morning
anxiously awaiting a report from the
embassy at Mexico City. When II
finally came it proved to be merely a
terse announcement of the arrival OF
the special envoy, coupled with tht
announcement that he and his party
were safely quartered at the Hote
Laseurain.

NOT so WITH WAYNE COUNTY
APPLES.

The New York Sun bewails the
fact that apples do not taste as they
once did, in the following words:
Apples! How many city folks
know save in memory what apples
are? How many, mealy, juiceless,
tasteless, decrepit things are bought
and sold as apples The very
name Baldwin has a pleasant tart,
bite and tang, yet any sweet apple
will pass for it among some humor-
GUS or ignorant grocers and fruiter-
ers and their clients"
Nothing tastes to an old man as
it did when he was boy, for
tastes change, or at least, lose their
peculiar discernment of flavor. But
there may be another explanation
why apples do not taste the same
now as they did forty years ago. In
grating scions upon other stock it is
said that fruit is modified somewhat
by the nature of the parent stock
becoming more sour or more sweet
according to the tree into which it
is grated. If this is so, several
SUGGESTIONS of grating might make
the change discernable to the pal
ate.

SAYS ONIONS PREVENT ILLS.
DR.. Mary Walker Declares Odorous
Vegetable Chases Disease.

The use Of plenty of onions will drive,
among other things, contagious disease
out of any city, Or. Mary Walker, the
noted woman physician, recently de-
clared. Here are DR.. Walkers direc-
tions for the use of onions:
Eat plenty of them-stewed, boiled.
fried or raw.
Keep the fumes of onions continual
ly permeating the atmosphere.
Spread onions in the alleys, on the
lawn and any other place where 1t
might appear they would do good"
DR.. Walker said onions were partic-
ularly effective against smallpox. The
use of the vegetable in two cities at
least has proved her contention to be
correct, she asserted.
Madrid was one of the affected
rites" she said. Some even had
made this statement before the onions
were used that the city would be de-
populated by smallpox. The minister
plenipotentiary assured me that the
spread Of the disease had been halted
by the use of onions. They also were
used In other cities"

A LESSON IN GEOGRAPHY.
Some Curious Facts About Our Cities
That May Surprise You.

i''SN "'~y WI ~ 'SS tots
Some little known facts about Amer
lean cities have been collected by Pro-
fessor r. II. Whitbeck of the geology
department of the University of Wis
consin In an article in the Journal Of
Geography.
That Massachusetts, one of the
smallest states, has more large cities
than any other state in the Union is
one of the odd facts brought out 1t
has twenty-five cities with a popula-
ton of $4,000 or over. The state of
New York has twenty-one cities of this
size, while Pennsylvania has twenty.
Texas, the largest state in the Union,
has no city of 100000 or over. There
is only one city in Arkansas. Little
Rock, that has over $4,000, while New
Jersey, only a fraction of its size, has
fourteen cities of 25,O0O.
The peculiar fact that four states
have one very large city, while the
is also pointed out. For instance,
every one knows that Chicago is the
first city of Illinois and has a popu-
lation of over 100000, but few know
that the second city in Illinois is Pc
oria, only one-thirtieth the size of Chi
cago. While Baltimore has 100000
population, Cumberland, the next city
Of Maryland, has only $4,000 inhabit-
ants. New Orleans is twelve times the
size Of Shreveport, the next city of
Louisiana. Milwaukee is nearly ten
times the size of Superior, the second
city of Wisconsin.
There are now nineteen cities in the
United States with a population of
250,000 each. Only one of these. New
Orleans, is in the south.
