The Mediterranean or egg breeds
are best suited for the production of
w~hite-shelled eggs. Representatives
of this class are bred largely for eggs
rather than for meat. Among the
popular breeds are Leghorn, Minor
ca, Ancona and Andalusian.
An outstanding characteristic of
the egg breeds is the fact that they
are classed as nonsitters; that is, as
a rule they do not become broody
and hatch their eggs. When fowls
of this class are kept, artificial in
cubation and brooding usually are
employed. Farmers Bulletin 898,
STANDARD Varieties of Chickens. II.
The Mediterranean Glass;" tells
about this class.
Characteristics of the Meat Breeds
Langshans, Brahmas, Cochins and
Cornish fowls belong in the meat
breeds, rather than for eggs, and al
though classed for meat are some
times kept as general purpose fowls.
They are all heavier and larger than
the egg breeds, or those of the gener-
al-purpose class, and lay brown-shel-
led eggs. Farmers Bulletin 1852,

Fowls for breeding purposes should

VOliva Takes
More Statistics
Overseer of Zion Finds Many of His
Pensioners Have Established
"NO Medicine Records"

Zion, I1l.-Some interesting statis-
tics were collected in the city of Zion
Sunday afternoon. Voliva addressed a
large audience at the tabernacle and
during the service he stated that one
woman in his congregation had not
tasted medicine or drugs for twenty
six years.
"Can anyone in the audience beat
that record ?" asked Overseer Voliva.
One man stood up and testified that
he could beat it. He had not tasted
medicine of any kind for forty-nine
years. This was considered wonder
full, and especially when one consid-
cred the fact that no Zion church with
its teaching on Divine Healing existed
in those days. This man did not take
the record, however, for Deacon Ar
thur Wagnell, painter by trade, testi-
fed that he had not used drugs for
fifty-seven years. This was consider
ed the. limit, and even Voliva himself
marvelled at such testimony. The
record did not stop with Deacon Wag-
nell, remarkable as was his claims.
Mrs. Irene Patterson of Chicago, testi-
fed to the fact that she was IS years
of age and she had never taken medi-
cine or drugs. She had met with a seri-
GUS accident, having had collar bone
broken and her head badly smashed,
but she never took any medicine. Ed
win A. Leach testified that he was
healed of serious complication of
diseases in answer to prayer. He ex-
hibited plaster of paris caste with
him on the platform. Drunkards and
smokers got up to testify that they had
been healed in onswer to prayer.
While Overseer Voliva was talking
he was, handed telegram from city
in Iowa. ''My daughter is dying, pray
for her healing" ran the message. The
audience bowed while Overseer Voliva
prayed for the immediate recovery of
the girl.

even hindering the work of their
lawyers in seeking to get to them and
present what they believed to sbe their
defense. OHare's' laxity is believed to
be partly due to his failing health and
to the nervous breakdown which en-
sued shortly after his enforced resig-
nation as police chief.
The indictments against O'Hare were
read off by number, totalling ten in
all, but some, were re-drawing of old
indictments. The indictments charge
malfeasance in Office mostly, one
names obtaining money under false
pretenses and another enlightenment.
1t is thought possible that some of
these charges may be merged under
one head as the cease goes to trial. AS
the indictments were read in their
turn by number this morning, a form
al plea of not guilty was entered
by Attorney Stewart in behalf of the
defendant.
Millager Case Postponed.
The case against Harry Sedarook
was next called, but Attorney Stewart,
in behalf of Sedarook, stated that the
defendant was unable to be present
on account of a sick wife and child;
the wife, moreover; being a material
witness in the case. The. Sedarook
case was passed and also that of Herb
Millager which was next called. The
attorneys asked for a postponement
on account of the burning of Central
Park, of which Millager. is the pro-
prietor early this morning. The
court and prosecution agreed that it
was enough to happen to man in one
day without his having to appear in
court in answer to indictment besides.
The jurors were dismissed until this
afternoon at one-thirty o'clock when
the case against Frank Martin will be
called Martin is charged with bribery
on grand jury Indictment.

Better Train Service
Is Demanded by Zion

The city of Zion is not satisfied with
the service it is getting at the hands
Of the Chicago and Northwestern rail
way and an effort is being made to
obtain desired changes. A despatch
from Springfield declares that hear
ing on the complaint of the city of
Zion and the Zion institutions and in
dustries, of inadequate passenger train
service between Zion City and Chicago
on the Northwestern railway has been
set for hearing today before Commits
sioner Sullivan of the Illinois COM
merce commission.
The Springfield dispatch does not go
into details as to just what complaints
the city of Zion intends to present
before the commission, but it is I'M
derstood that a demand will be made
that many of the fast trains which now
pass through Zion without even hest
tating shall be ordered to stop. 1t will
be pointed out that Zion supplies the
Northwestern road with much business
and is entitled to more consideration
than it receives.
Zion City and the Northwestern rail-
road got into jam sometime ago when
the official name of the community was
changed from "Zion City" to "Zion."
The railroad refused at that time to
change the name on its depot.

Hunting Shirts
in BuenOs Aires
f(By United Press)

Buenos Aires-The old saying, "pigs
is pigs, may be true, but when it
comes to shirts, you have different
proposition. It is true that all shirts
in the United States are more or less
the, same. It is also true that all
shirts in the Argentine are the same.
Almost all Americans in the Argen-
tine, when first they come to this coun-
try, bring enough shirts to last for
while. They do not last forever, how
ever, and they are forced to call upon
one of the many "Camiserias" (shirt
shops) which abound in the city.
There they are shown shirts; shirts,
that are similar in style to our famil-
Jar college sweaters in the United
States; shirts that button half way
down and slip over the head. All of
the shirts on the same plan as our
dress shirts, that is, with false bosom
and cuffs. The bosom of the shirt is
usually striped, and so are the cuffs.
The bosom and cuffs are of one ma
terial, usually good. The remainder
of the shirt is made up of cheap
white cloth.
The idea is supposed to be that the
shirt is always covered by vest, save
in the two good parts, therefore what
is the use of wasting good material
The American who likes to go without
vest in the summer months is COM
pletely out of luck. He is also out of
luck if he attempts to find shirt with
soft collar attached. which has been
SO popular in the United States. He is
shown blue shirt such as is worn
with overalls in the United States.
They always think here that if a shirt
with a collar attached is wanted, it
is desired for laboring purposes
AS for white shirts, well, "there
amt no such animal" that is, unless
a dress shirt is desired. The average
Argentine Graves color and lots of it's
style and still more of it, and most
of all, inexpensiveness.

O'CONNOR STILL
KEEPS LIBERTY
Nationwide, Search Fails
to'Bring Any Trace of
Escaped Bandit.
FOLLOW MANY CLUES

Chicago-The case of Lucky Tom
my" O'Connor, condemned gun-man,
who Sunday with two companions es-
capped from the Cook, county jail, con-
tinued today, with his whereabouts as
much a mystery as they were one hour
after his sensational dash which
cheated the gallows in the Jail yard of
another victim. O,Gonnor was to be
hanged Thursday for the murder of
Chicago policeman.
The hunt for the killer by thousands
of police and detectives has consisted
mainly of running to earth numerous
rumors and clips" that pretended to
locate the gun-mam at all points of
the compass but O'Gonnor has proved
as elusive as daring.
Early today two clues were given
the police and detectives were hur-
riedly despatched to ascertain their
truthfulness. A telephone call was
received from the chief of police at
Hartford, Wis, that three men, one
of them resembling O'Connor, had
alighted from an early morning train
and registered at small hotel. A high
powered automobile filled with detec-
tives started for the Wisconsin city.
Later Edward Hanson Of Milwaukee
appeared at the police station and
handed card to Chief Detective
Hughes which he said had been given
him by one of five. men as he was
about to leave Milwaukee for Chicago.
On the card was written, Don't send
any one after me. l am innocent
Much obliged to Strauss Ga Jail guard.
I'm gone but my friends will reward
him. Good luck to you all. ] will be
posted by my friends and will shoot the
first man who puts his hands on me-"
The card bore no signatures and was
addressed to the chief Of police. Han
son said the five men were in large
touring car and one of them resem-
bled O'Connor. They did not hand
him the card until they first had in
quired if he was coming to Chicago
and they hurried away in the auto
mobile before he boarded an electric
train for Chicago.
The escape of O'Connor and his two
companions, James sLaPorte and Ed
ward barrow, convicted robbers, has
resulted in six separate Investigations
of the county Jail. Every guard and
official connected in any way with the
"break" has been suspended and the
officials in charge of the Investigations
have stated serious charges might be
filed against some of the men.

HOUSES BURN
LOSS is HIGH
500
Two New Houses Owned
by Rudolph. Drummer
Destroyed Today.
FURNITURE is SAVED

Fire which broke out just before
two o'clock this morning in bungalow
owned by Rudolph Drummer at the
corner of Western and Burr Oak
avenue on the west limits of the city,
totally destroyed the. house in which
the fire originated and the home of
Drummer which adjoins it. While it is
believed that the fire was caused by
an overheated stove, there are some
indications of mystery connected with
it and Fire Chief Swartz was continu-
ing his Investigations this afternoon.
The loss from the fire will be in ex-
cess of $4,000 and this loss is par
TALLY covered by insurance. The fire
was one of the. most spectacular in the
history of the west side Of the city
and hundreds. of people routed out of
their beds in the cold gray dawn of
the early morning watched the firemen
in vain effort to save the buildings
from destruction. The furnishings of
the house occupied by Drummer and
his family were saved and members of
the. family escaped without injury.
One House Was Vacant.
The house at the corner of Western
and Burr Oak avenues where the fire
started, was untennanted but stove
had been left in the house in order to
keep fire to prevent the freezing of
water pipes. The stove had fire in it
on Monday afternoon and late Monday
evening Drummer had gone to the
house to fix the fire for the night At
that time there was no warning of
danger. The family of Drummer was
awakened by the roaring of the flames
and when the fire was discovered the
one building was a mass of flames.
The wind carried the flames to the
Drummer home and when the firemen
arrived following telephone call the
two houses were in flames. The prop
erty is outside of the city limits and
all the fremen could do was to aid
the unfortunate family in the removal
of the furniture. 1t was reported that
a man was seen running away from
the building but it is thought that this
man sent call to the west side engine
house notifying the firemen of the
fire. The identity of the man has not
as yet been found.
Both Houses Were New.
The two bungalows had been COM
pleted only recently and it was said
that the cost of them exceeded FIVE
thousand dollars. Drummer had insur-
ance of three thousand dollars on one
of the houses and two thousand on the
other. Firemen said that the insur-
ance would scarcely cover the loss.
1t is thought possible that an over
heated stove caused the fire in the first
house but the havoc of the flames had
been so complete that it was found
impossible to get any evidence of the
cause in the ruins of the building
An automobile owned by Drummer
was damaged to the amount of one
1urdred md fifty dollars.
