Philadelphia, Feb. 15.-During a
quarrel in front of house on Hall
street near Third, last night, Pat
rick Flynn, of No. GA South Front
street, was shot through the heart,
the police say, by Charles Ravens,
who lives near the scene Of the shoot
ing. Ravens was arrested, and in
a statement last night declared he
fired only when Flynn sent bullet
in his direction, and when the lives
Of his wife and two children were
endangered.
The police say, however, that the
shooting followed attempts made by
Flynn and sister to induce Robert
Ravens, a brother of the prisoner,
TO marry Ellen Flynn, another sis
ter of the dead man. Several
times, it was said last night, the
sisters had visited the Ravens home
in an effort to pursuade young
Ravens to marry the girl.

Land Taken for Puny Debt Richest
in Quicksilver.
Terlineua, Texas, Feb. 15.-Since
the price of quicksilver mounted up
from about S45 per flask of rs
pounds to $50 per flask, as a result
of the war across the seas, F. H.
Perry, of Chicago, has been obtain
ing revenue of nearly $4,000 a
month from his mine here, which he
took over several years ago to satisfy
a debt of 5000 In fact, when Mr..
Perry came into possession of this
mineral wealth he had no idea that a
fortune was in store for him. He
regarded the 1880 acres of land upon
which the present quicksilver mine
is situated as being practically worth
less. He did not even take the
trouble to go and see it, knowing
the general character of the region

the Big Bend country, 90 miles from

region that was formerly the rendez-
vous of bandits. Fate decreed, how
ever, that fortune should smile upon
Mr.. Perry.
The property that he was forced
to take over and which he regarded
of no value, has already produced
more than 100000 worth of quick
silver. What the mine is worth no
one ventures to say, but figuring on
it's revenue producing basis, it ought
to have a value, it is claimed, of not
less than $5,000,000.

Sixty-eighth United States infantry,
the old Fighting Third Iowa" are
healthy and in good spirits, and they
can't get to France too soon.
This was the word brought back to
Washington by Congressman Sweet,
of the Third district, and Dowell, Of
the Seventh district, after visit to
the Iowa soldiers at Camp Mills, Gar
den City, L. l., where they are concen-
trated awaiting word to board trans
ports for France. e.
The two Iowa congressman took ad-
vantage of recess of congress to
spend a day with the officers and
men of the Iowa regiment, many of
whom they counted among their per-
sonal friends.
1--WE found the officers and men in
unusually good spirits" Congressman
Sweet said on his return. We met the
boys as well as the officers, spent the
day talking with them sand found eg-
erywhere that the men were thorough
ly enjoying themselves.
"The families of the boys of the
One Hundred and Sixty-eighth can be
assured that they are well taken cara
of. Every sanitary measure has been
taken by camp authorities. The mel
are we'll. The officers are doing ev-
erything possible for their physical
welfare. l found the very best feel
ing prevailing between officers and

men,
Congressman Sweet said it was an
inspiring sight to see the men at
drill in regimental and brigade for
nations.
Overhead aeroplanes were circulat-
ing about Camp Mills in spiral flight
One of these machines the day before
had broken the altitude record. The
Iowa band was there I never saw a
more inspiring sight than that when
the Iowa band played The Star Span
gled Banner and the Rainbow divis-
ion stood at salute
Congressman Sweet said he and his
colleagues assured the Iowa soldiers
that they should count on solid sup
port in congress while they were on
the other side, and that they could be
assured that every protection the law
making power could extend would be
given them.

they went to France. Many Of the Of
ficers and men from Waterloo, Dubu-
que, Manchester, Earlville, Delhi and
other towns are my personal friends.
But l found they didn't need any
cheering up. Now that they're in for
real warfare they want to be at 1t.
The transports waiting to take them to
training camps in France to prepare
them for the front line can't start too
soon for the Iowans, and l believe
that is the spirit Of the entire national

wANTON WASTE OF TOMATOES.

DR.. B. H. Byers clipped the following
item from one of the Abel, Iowa, news
papers, which will prove of interest
to readers, especially to those who
have been unusually active in the con-
servation of fruit. The tomato patch
in question is located only few miles
from Des Moines. These tomatoes
should have found their way to Des
Moines, and saved. The item from
the Abel paper is as follows:
Sunday was tomato day at this
place. Everyone who could find a
way to go drove to the state farm this
side of Des Moines and brought back
all the tomatoes they could haul, at
ten cents bushel. 1t seems the state
authorities could not find help to pick
them and they lay by the thousands Of
bushels all over seven acre patch
H. R. Straight knew of them being
there and he phoned A. NJ McColl,
member of the Board of Control, and
the latter authorized Mr.. Straight to
inform people they could have the to-
matoes if they would pick them, and
pay ten cents a bushel. The result
was that many cars went from here
bring around ITO bushels Of fine toma-
toes Mr.. Straight and his cars alone
brought Al bushels which he distrib-
uted among his employees. In spite
of the large amount secured there
were yet many hundreds of bushels
left to freeze on the ground Sunday
night"
