ALL-NIGHT ORGY ENDS IN DEATH
OF FOUR
Victims Of Booze Found Inn Phila
deIphia ROOming House.

0elpnla ROOmlng House,
Killed by gas as they lay in a
drunken stupor, the result of an all
night orgy, four men were found in
a rooming house in Philadelphia
They were William Shultz and Jo-
seph Higgins, both roomers at the
house; William Mara and Frank Col
sen.
The bodies were discovered by Mrs
Anna Nolan, who conducts the house,
and James Henderson, a boarder,
when they broke open the door after
receiving no answer to repeated
knocking. According to Mrs Nolan,
both Higgins and Shultz came 10 her
house several weeks ago, and al
though they did not appear to work at
anything steadily, both spent much
time in the booze shops Of the neigh
borhood and seldom were sober.
Late on March the four men
came to the house much the worse
from drink and one of them carried
n bottle of booze. They were last
heard stirring about the house about
four o'clock in the morning. AT
eight, when Mrs. Nolan went down
stairs to prepare breakfast, she found
the gas exhausted She put a quar-
ter in the meter, unwittingly causing
the gas to flow from the jet in the
rooms occupied by the four drunken
men. n
1t was the custom Of the two men
to. arise about 1890, but when Mrs
Nolan went to awaken them at that
time and received no answer, she
thought nothing OF it, as occasionally
they slept all day.
When policemen entered the room
they found it was reeking with cheap
liquor and gas. The bodies of Hig-
gins, ShultZ and Mara were on the
bed and Goldsen was sitting erect on
d chair in the corner A quart bottle
drained of the last drop was found
clutched in the hand Of one Of the
victims. - NM A". -.

WHAT OF THE HESSIAN FLY?

The question uppermost in the
minds of many Missouri wheat grow
ers is, Will the Hessian fly damage
wheat next spring? Over most of
the state the fly injury to the next
crop will undoubtedly be slight but in
some sections the injury will be Sc
we're if normal weather conditions pre-
vail between now and harvest. That
is the opinion of L. Haseman of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. Judging by the records Sc
cured from the outlying ;Hessian-fy
experimental fields this fall, in places
in Southeast and Northeast Missouri
the pest is threatening. Throughout
most Of central Missouri the pest is
scarce or entirely absent, while in
southwest and west-central Missouri
the pest is attracting some attention
The abundance of the pest in wheat
this fall is largely due to the early
seeding. With shortage of labor
and an increased acreage it was nee
essary in many sections to begin seed
ing before the recommended f1y-free
date. On the other hand, the excep-
tionally fine conditions for seeding
during September and early October
helped to induce many to seed entirely
too early. The experience of this
fall goes to show that even when a
pest of this type is practically elimi-
mated in any community it is not safe
to ignore it and neglect to apply nee
essary precautions. With conditions
favorable for the wheat and unfavor-
able for the pest the next crop of
wheat will be but slightly reduced by
the pest but there is abundant chance
that it may do considerable injury.
Missouri wheat growers should
keep the College of Agriculture in
formed as to the Hessian fly condi-
tions in their vicinity so that plans
may be made for combating the pest
where necessary next year.

Former Sheriff
Endorses Tanlac
Prominent Houston Man Says, "MOn-
ey Could Not Buy the Good
1t Has Done Me-"

"Money could not buy the good
Tanlac has done me, and | gladly
recommend it for what it has done in
my case" said Hon. Archie R. Hen
derson, of Houston, Ex-Sheriff of
Harris county, Texas, recently.
Mr.. Henderson is unquestionably,
not only one of the best known, but
one of the most popular men that ey-
er held office in "The Lone Star"
State. After serving as Deputy Sher-
if of Harris county for twelve years,
Mr.. Anderson was elected Chief of
Police of the city of Houston. He
had occupied this office only short
time when the Sheriff of Harris coun-
ty died. Mr.. Anderson's friends per-
suaded him to make the race for the
unexpired term of Sheriff to which he
was easily elected. He was honored
with reelection seven different times
and served the people in this impor-
tant office for fifteen consecutive
years. Four years ago Mr.. Anderson
declined reelection and retired to
private life. He cast his lot among
the people Of Houston and is a large
property owner and foremost citizen
Of this interesting and prosperous
city.
Il was in rundown condition."
continued Mr.. Anderson, "and had no
appetite at all. / could hardly sleep
at night and never felt like getting
up in the mornings, was so tired. /

stomach and was continually belching
