UNKNOWN MAN GROUND TO
DEATH AT MOSS SIDING
Stranger Deliberately Threw Himself
in Front of Moving Train.

Friday morning an unknown man
was killed at Moss Siding, few
miles east of Caldwell, by passenger
train No. Is. The man suddenly leap
ed from the grade bank and threw
himself beneath the cab of the en-
CINE. He was ground to death in an
instant.
At the time the suicide occurred
one train was standing on the siding
and the other was running through
at 4O-mile an hour rate. The engi-
neer of the train states that he first
noticed the man close to the bank and
thought he was trying to climb up
the side. The next he saw OF him
was when passing and he made the
headlong leap beneath the truck of
the engine.
The train was Immediately brought
to a stop, but the ground pieces Of the
mutilated body was all that could be
found, These were gathered together
and taken to Nampa. The mans
head was entirely missing, but was
later secured in a dozen pieces by the
coroner, who visited the scene.
There were no papers of any kind
found which would lead to the identi
fcation of the man. 1t is believed he
was between IS and 40 years of age
He carried fine railroad watch and
$40 in money, which was picked up
along the track, where his mutilated
body was Strewn.

LOOK FOR CAUSE WHEN LAME
FAILS.

When a lamp fails to give a good
light there is a cause for it, and in
ninety-nine cases out Of 100 the diff
Guilty rests with the one whose duty
it is to care for the lamp, rather than
with the lamp itself, says the Newark
News.
If the wick of the oil lamp is too
short, is crowded, or is cut unevenly,
the lamp will not give a perfect light.
The top of the wick should be rub
bed off every day after it is used, A
piece of blotting paper is excellent
for this; it removes the charred par
ticles from the wick and does not
break the threads, which cutting often
will do.
A boiling OF the wick and burner
in vinegar and water will clear it up
wonderfully. Plenty of time must be
allowed for it to dry thoroughly

as are 'parlors." These
separate rooms may have complete
systems of plumbing, heating and
which involve additional ex-
pense. The kitchen is the most i'm
portant room in the farm house.
For the average farmer, economy
bars room specially reserved for
weddings and funerals. A back stair
way in small houses is an unnecessary
luxury. Large halls which are never
used to live in, but merely as thor
oughfareS, are a feature which can be
dispensed with in the interest of a
smaller outlay of money.
Other features that should give way
to a comfortable and convenient kit
chen are narrow porches, filigree
work, numerous angles in walls and
roof, useless doors. There should be
an intelligent purpose for every cubic
foot of space and for every piece of
material about the building, if posi-

1t may not be found practicable for
the Department of Agriculture to fur
nish plans and specifications of farm
houses worked out for particular in
dividual needs. However, it rs believ-
ed to be desirable to work out plans
and specifications for the general needs
of farmers and to illustrate and ex-
plain the plans so that the farmer may
understand the principles involved and
apply them when he remodels his
present house. The Office OF Farm
Management is endeavoring to help

LETTER GAME MAKES
GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.

This is a very old game, but have
no doubt that it will be new to many,
and am sure those of us who know it
in our youth will be glad to renew
the acquaintance. Any number of
players may participate.
The one who proposes the game ex
plains that the letter chosen must be-
gin the answer to the question; for
instance, suppose the letter "A" is
agreed upon and the leader says men
ton the name of an American city
beginning with "a" (Atlanta;) a for
eign city (Amiens0 and American
river (Alabama;) a mineral (amethyst)
a vegetable (artichoke;) an animal
(ape0 an article to be worn (arctics,)
etc.
Questions innmerable may be sug-
gested.

GERMANS EXPECTED
TO AGAIN

Paris, Oct. 9.-The suggestion is
made in Paris this morning that the
Germans are holding out with the idea
of taking Antwerp first and then re-
firing to a line of defense prepared in
Belgium as it is not possible for them
to find reinforcements to counter bal
ance the fresh troops constantly COM
ing to strengthen the allies.
The transfer of the seat of the Bel
gian government from Antwerp to Os-
tend was not made public in Paris I'M
til this morning, but ven the fall of
Antwerp will scarcely shake French
confidence in the success of the efforts
of the allies to push the Germans back
over the frontier.
