SLAYER PLANS w DEATH
Murder n Suicide. in Town in New
York Reveal Tragic
Story.

Middletown, N. Y.-Harry Newkirk
is believed to have killed Maud Blaz-
ington near Summitville because, aft
er she had lived with him for a year
as a common law wife. she refused to
marry him and joined another man.
A year g the couple announced
their marriage and took furnished
rooms in a Port Jervis boarding house.
1t Is said that they were at first hap
py. A month ago Newkirk learned
that another man was attentive to
her. Then she left him and he could
not induce her to return. She applied
to Justice Bevans at Port Jervis for
a warrant, charging Newkirk with
white slavery.
The warrant was not issued. She
consulted a attorney and he advised
her to swear out q peace warrant.
Miss Darlington came to Middletown.
followed by Newkirk. Then she
started for Summitville with Newkirk
following. He killed her after they
left the station.
Newkirk's death was not an acct.
dent. as at first supposed. He lay
down on the railroad track with his
head upon a rail.
The couple grew up together and
when Newkirk became older he want.
ed to marry Miss Darlington. She
would not agree, but finally went to
live with him. She was known to

exceis are the flavor, color and juici-
ness OF it's meat. The same Is true Of
sheep although in lesser degree. The
best native lamb is better than the
best western lamb because 1t Is better
fed. The western lamb is forced to
take a great deal Of exercise over the
range in its search for food, and this
is perhaps one of the reasons why its
flesh is darker in color and less juicy
than that Of the native lamb Of prime
finish that has usually been confined
to small pastures.
1t is claimed that the range grasses
do not equal those in the districts
where native lambs are grown in i'm
parting desirable flavor to the flesh
of lambs. Lambs fattened on the
range are often driven long distances
to a shipping point. and subjected to
several days of scant food and water
supply while en- route to market. Al
though these lambs are usually rested
a few days at the feeding stations, it
is believed, nevertheless, that the
hardships undergone in reaching the
market are in part responsible for the
criticism brought against the flavor,
color and juiciness Of their meat. The
fact that the best native lambs are
conceded to be better than the best
western lambs for the meat trade
should be a-matter of great encourage
ment to their producers. However,
producers as a whole should be chiefly
concerned about the merit Of their
average product, rather than that OF
a few exceptional individuals that sur
pass anything else of their class. Rela-
tive to this fact the buyers for the
packers assert emphatically hat the
average native lamb is much inferior
to the average western lamb. This
statement should be seriously con
sidered by producers of natives in
general, because when linked with the
statement that the best native out
classes the best western, it suggests
that the producers of natives are
either handicapped by difficulties
which they cannot control or are open
to criticism in their methods.

Tho number Of lambs received BY
the large markets greatly exceeds the
number OF sheep. Before the West
turned to mutton production the re-
verse was true. hut now it is esti-
mated that lambs constitute 80 per
cent OF the total receipts of the Chi
cage market. and doubtless the same
Is true OF the other large markets.
Not only has there been a change
In the relative numbers of sheep and
lambs marketed, but there has also
g e a change in the distribution Of
the lambs through the different sea-
sons. Formerly. when the supply was
drawn almost exclusively from native
hocks. they we're on the market in

mer and early autumn months only,
but now they are received every week
In the year. AS the large numbers re-
ceived would indicate. lambs are pre-
ferred by the consumer, and this even
distribution of them throughout the
year has doubtless greatly stimulated
consumption.
A great deal of interest attaches to

Plans to whip their mistresses into

ing.
The new union will call no general
strike. It's members will wear on
the nerves of the individual employer
until she comes to terms.

The women of Capitol Hill are to
be trained in the way they should go.
Maids who leave their jobs once a
week, serve meals late. take no back
talk and demand the privileges for
which they have been asking in vain,
are going to do the training.
In order to carry out this plan OF
campaign many maids for mistresses
who are being trained" will rent q
house where they can live between
jobs. The new cook or second girl
will never arrive at her employers
home with her trunk after this. She
will travel light. SO she won't have to
be constantly paying to have her bag
gage hauled around the city. And
while she fits merrisy from Capitol
Hill to Aurora her trunk will remain
safe and secure, locked in the baggage
room of the union home. If she has
a child it will be cared for at the
home while she works.
Cross and undesirable mistresses
are going to be blacklisted by the
union. At the Office to be opened

ERADlCATlNG TICK IN SOUTH
OF a Sound Agricultural System
Expense Is Small.

Eradication of the tick is essential
to the development of a sound agri-
cultural system In the South. Land
there Is still cheap and much of 1t is
making no money FOL anyone. The
pasture season is long. feed can be pro-
duced at a minimum cost, and only in
expensive shelter is required.
The tick by compelling guarantees
adds to the cost Of getting cattle to
outside markets. Ticky beeves cannot
be transshipped and must go to i'm
mediate slaughtss. Free cattle can be
t~ransshipped to markets where prices
are higher or can be sold as feeders.
The difference in price between ticky
and free cattle runs from one-half to
one cent a pound or five to ten dol
lars a head.
The tick kills imported or pure-bred
stock and thus makes it hard for the
tfckinfested regions of the South to
raise any but scrub cattle.
A yearling calf from a pure-bred
bull and a native COW will weigh from
$50 to 600 pounds. Such a calf is esti-
mated to be worth SO to $23 more
than a calf from scrub stock.
A few swims through the arsenical
dipping vat and the ticks are killed
and your animal Is worth five to ten
dollars more. provided your neighbors
join in and the country will dip it's cat.
tie and free itself from costly quaran-
tine restrictions. Five cents worth Of
arsenic per head is all it costs after
the vat Is built. A vat costs only $50
to 500 and will dip all the cattle as
often as needed. The only other costs
are driving the cattle to the vat and
handling them in the bath.
