TALKED TO WIFE; KILLED.
Wellington Man Shows No Remorse
for Decd-=IIad Separatcd.

Wellington, Kan, Feb. 1S.-Charles
Ball went to his home at@ Caldwell
Monday night and found Adam Baker,
a neighbor. on the porch talking to
his wife. He pushed Baker into the
house and accused him of paying at
tention to Mrs. Ball. Upon the lat
ter's denying it, Ball drew a revolver
and fired four shots at Baker, three
of them taking effect, killing him in
stantIy. Ball then sent for the city
marshal and gave himself up.
Bah has little to say about the kill
ing. and manifests no remorse. He
and his wife had not been living to-
gether for more than a year. The
cause of the separation Is said to have
been his jealousy over her receiving
the attention of other men. Baker
was unmarried.

MODEL VILLAGES IN ENGLAND
Country Is Recognizing Necessity of
Improvement in General Hous-
ing Conditions.

1t is said that the average English
mlddle'class home is so ugly it ought
TO De just burned down, and English
men are just beginning to realize this
Iact, with the result that all over Eng
land plans are afoot to build model
villages and model suburbs.
Brighton is the first to lead the way.
1t is building a super-suburb, consist
Ing Of 900 houses, so planned that
there Will be not more than ten to the
acre. This will allow each house a gar
den Of 16 rods--or $40 feet.
The suburb is to be built in an or
chard setting. Fruit trees will line
the roadway. There will be no walls,
the gardens being divided by hedges.
There will be recreation grounds, al.
lotments and common. Fairgrounds.
The houses are to be built on modern
and artistic lines, the internal arrange
ments being the last word in house
comfort.
Ihe only fly in the ointment is the
question of the small boys. Will they
be model enough to inhabit a model
suburb, or will they help themselves to
the fruit that abounds in the public
thoroughfares? 1t is hoped they will
become imbued with a great respect
Tor communal rights and thus grow up
frst-clasS democrats.

kota.
We had here in Langdon last
Sunday a singing service in the Me-
thodist church, also the reading of the
recorded history of the birth of
Christ by the pastor. Rev. Langdon.
We have heard many say that this
service was the finest of its kind that
they had v e attended. 1t is re-
suits such as these that present the
almost im~pregnable argument favor
ing the union of churches and the CO.
operation of choirs or community
singing. Such a move would tend to
draw forth and centralize the best of
available talent and insure the attend
ance of both the church goer and nom
church goer. Singing now a days is
what tends to draw the people out
much more than the preaching which
especially in the larger centers has
been along the lines of the higher
critics considerably of late. 1t
is not so very long ago that we read
in the papers the story about how a
party of the smart set in New York
got hold of a monkey, dressed it up
in the latest style of fashion and ten
dered his monkeyship a banquet at
which ha acnuittod himoolf in a moat
creditable manner at the table. In
fact when the feast was cleared
away he was the only sober n at
the table. This was supposed to
settle the point conclusively as to
whether the man or the monkey oc-
cupy the higher plane in life.

COUNTY BREED DIRECTORIES
ing Owners and Effective in
Promoting Sales.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Indexing counties as to dominant
breed Of live stock maintained, through
the use of county breed directories,
has won great favor in Iowa, where
several years ago Linn county inaugu-
rated this work. Such catalogues are
valuable in Identifying the owners Of
different breeds and are effective in
promoting sales and in attracting
prospective purchasers to the locality.
They constitute a relatively perma-
nent form Of advertising, as ordinar-
lily they are kept for future reference
by those who receive them. The di-
rectories are best issued under the.
authority Of a county live stock breed
ers association Or the local farm bu-
reau. Ordinarily the expenses Of these
booklets are raised by the sale Of ad-
vertising space to breeders. Practi-
cally any rural printing office can put
out creditable productions Of this.
