Bloodhound Trails Insane Eden MAJ

An interesting story comes from
Eden about the trailing Of an insane
man by a bloodhound.
1t seems that a young man, the son
of a Mr.. Whittemore, is insane. He
was confined in room in the house,
but made an escape clad in a pair of
trousers and shoes.
Word of the escape was sent to the
authorities, who got in touch with J.
L. Whitehill of Fairhaven, who owns
"Red Panther" a full-blooded En-
glish bloodhound. The dog, in charge
of G. C.. Kincaid, who was accompan-
led by Superintendent Loukes Of the
house of correction at Rutland, and
Edward Root left in the evening by
automobile for Eden, travelling all
night and arriving at Eden at 7
o'clock the next morning.
They went at once to the house of
Mr. Whittemore. The room had been
cleaned and the floor mopped so that
no scent could be obtained there.
From the steps over which the
young man had passed 36 hours be-
fore the dog took the scent which he
| followed for two miles in the woods to
point where the insane man had
been seen. From this point the dog
| led Mr. Kincaid for seven miles toward
! Lowell.
To save time the animal was then
taken off the trail anl was given the
scent at a log which young White
more had been seen to cross. The ami
| NAL followed the trail until dark.
| 1t was then decided that as the man
| could travel much faster than the dog
with a trailer could follow, it would
be wise to surround the mountain.
The dog was taken off the trail and
$50 men set out in an attempt to To-
locate. the missing man.
'Red Panther" is four years old and
has been used successfully in 1876
cases in many parts of the world.
The young man was not found for
several days but was then found by
George O'Brien in a pasture about
four miles from his home. He was
asleep in a hut that he had built and
when awakened went home readily
He had lived on apples, beech nuts and
occasionally secured milk and cream
from nearby farmer, unbeknown to
the owner.

Barto n Academy and
Graded School
TRAINING CLASS NOTES

Miss Mildred Curtis visited the
training room Friday morning.
We heard a very interesting debate
about the coming presidential cam
paign given by Miss Ferrin's second
English class on Friday morning.
The girls of the training class were
very glad to have Miss Patrick back
with them after a weeks absence.
Monday morning was spent in telling
Miss Patrick of our visits to the rural
schools and in asking her opinion
about many things that puzzled US.
Tuesday morning we visited the
school at Orleans. We did little
observation work in each of the nine
grades and during the last period of
the morning Mr.. Fletcher very kindly
showed US that part of the school of
which Orleans should be proud, the
greenhouse, farm, poultryhouse and
small creamery. After we left the
school building we decided to finish
the trip by going through the veneer
mills Mr.. Doe very kindly explained
in detail every step Of the work. Just
before we started home a member of
the senior class kindly invited US to
attend Halloween party to be given
that evening. The three girls that
stayed for the part5' declared no day
could have been finished more success

EPWORTH LEAGUE SOCIAL FOR
SCHOOL.

Monday evening, Oct. 30, the Ep-
worth League gave a social at the
church in honor Of the high school.
The rooms were tastefully decorated
in orange and black and an immense
pumpkin adorned the center table in
the parlor. Such a large number
gathered that we adjourned to the
lawn for a game of drop the hand
kerchief, but were soon called back
in order that the girls might go up in
the aeroplane. Meanwhile witch
told fortunes in a prettily decorated
booth. It is great to know your life
fortune while you are still in high
school and nearly everyone became
acquainted with his. A hunt for a
ring, thimble and piece Of money
took up several amusing minutes; a
mysterious pie Of -four was cut in
more pieces than pie usually is, but
someone found ring placed therein.
Other games and contests were in
dulged in until we were called up
stairs, ore class at a time, for re-
freshments. The refreshments were
very appropriate for the occasion,
such as pumpkin pie, fruit and pea
nuts. A large number attended the
social and everyone spent very
pleasant and enjoyable evening.

Methodist Episcopal Church Notes.

Rev. I. A. RANNEY, Pastor
You are cordially invited to attend
all services.
Morning worship, 1915.
Sunday school, IL o'clock.
Epworth League, o'clock.
Evening service at o'clock.
Prayer meeting Thursday evening
at 730.
At the morning service the sub
ject was, elf-justifcation." Text,
Luke 1929, "But he, willing to justi-
fy himself" The pastor showed some
of the excuses made by people today
for neglecting the call of God to duty.
We are what we choose to be. One
may be sincere and be wrong. Be-
cause religion is a mystery some re-
fuse to accept and the speaker asked
the question, "Who asked us to I'M
derstand ?" Only believe is the COM
mand. Life is a mystery. Every
thing is mysterious. We do not un-
derstand our own being. "But who
soever believeth on the Lord Jesus
Christ shall be saved" The music
was extra good. Mr.. Webster's vio-
lin solo was a treat.
The evening service was a union of
both churches with the sermon by
Rev. Mr.. Warner. The subject was,
How Man Can Work Miracles. u
He spoke particularly of the various
| powers by which we are surrounded,
mysterious powers, physical powers,
mental powers and spiritual powers
The greatest of all being spiritual
power, and he who prays for spirit
ual things will be endowed with a
power by which he can work mira
| cles.

Edison Company Has Ten Days
Supply of Coal.
Ten More Cars on Way Will
Add Few Days.
Topeka MUST WALK And SLEEP
City Would Be in Darkness If
Electricity Failed.
Superintendent Purdy in Effort
to Avoid Trouble.

Efforts of the Edison Electric Light
company were today aimed at obtain
ing a supply of coal large enough to
weather the threatened railroad strike
and offset danger of having to shut
down at the end of two weeks 1t was
announced by A. H. Purdy, manager
of the company, today that the plant
has enough coal in storage to last ten
days and enough in transit which is
expected to arrive before the expect
ed walkout Monday to extend the limit
of the supply to two weeks After
that if the supply should be completely
shut off there would be nothing for
the company to do but shut down.
Mr. Purdy is hoping that will not
take place.
I'VE have the 10 days supply on
hand" he said. I'VE know of enough
day evening to extend the limit to two
weeks. For an emergency we have
also ordered ten cars of fuel oil, a
part of which ought to be here before
the strike. In estimating the limit at
two weeks, however, 1 include the fuel
oil, which will be used in conjunction
with the coal supply, a policy which
is only in order when there is an
emergency.
Look for No Trouble.
I'VE hope the two weeks supply
will be adequate until we can get more
which we will have in transit, and we
will be making an effort to have fuel
in transit all the time. l also have
hopes that the situation will be set
tied enough to permit shipping by the
time the two weeks supply runs low.
l took things up with the Santa F'e
this morning in an effort to get them
to expedite shipments we have in tran
sit. In short, we are doing everything
in our power to avoid trouble
The Edison company here furnishes
the power for the street railway COM
pany. 1t is also the only company
furnishing light to private homes and
commercial houses. Every electric
bulb in Topeka, with the exception of
the street lights, is furnished current
by the company. In event of a shut
down the street car traffic would stop
and the city would be plunged into
darkness.

HOGS SKYROCKET AGAIN
Highest Price Since 1S63-Hit $11:45
in East st. Louis.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 31.-Hog
prices today went up to $11.10, the
highest price ever paid here, on ac-
count of the livestock embargo.
East st. Louis. Ill, Aug. 31--Hog
prices reached the highest level in
western and central markets since
1863, when good to heavy hogs sold
for S11.45 on the local market today
The railroad embargo on livestock
caused the jump which was a 5 cent
raise from yesterdays market.
Up 10 Cents in Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 31.-Hogs jumped ten
cents to its highest level since 1865
in the Chicago livestock exchange to-
day when choice hogs were quoted at
S11.40 a hundred pounds. Railroads
embargo on livestock was responsible
for the gain. Cattle were up with the
top price at S11.35 for beeves. sheep
sold strong at prices from ten to fif-
teen cents higher.

TWO TRAINS A DAY STOP TICKET SALE
Eastern Railways Extend EN-
barge to Passengers.
Pennsylvania Clamps Lid on
Munition Shipments.

New York, Aug S1.-The railroad
strike, effective Monday, today had
reached forward and it's effects were
being felt in partial tieup of trans
portation three days in advance of the
scheduled walkout of 400,0 train
men.
Many eastern railroads today refuse
to sell passenger tickets for trips
which would not be completed by La
Dor day, the Pennsylvania clamped an
embargo on munitions shipments,
freight shipments of all kinds were
under partial embargo, depending on
their destination and big ocean ship
ping lines reported the impending
strike threatens to force idleness along
the water front.
Railroads report a heavy traffic in
bound, of vacationers returning to the
city.
From large manufacturing con-
Germs in New York and in other large
cities came reports that shortage of
coal, with consequent stoppage of
manufacturers may be a more serious
outgrowth of the threatened strike
than the food problem.
