nashliRht. OF course, there is now
no way of proving that tho ten dollar |
watch wos the one offered to Andcr-
son for $110. |
william o'Rourke, contractor who
lives here has told the prosecutor that
on the night of the murder. about
o'clock. he and his wife were driving
into New Brunswick to atten the
late performance OF motion picture
house and saw Hall and Mrs. Mills.
He places the time some time between
$50 and 3 O'clock.
O,Rourke says that he knew Hall
well by sight. as ho had done some
work for him at various times both
at the church and at the Hall home.
He also knew tho Mills family by
sight having worked on several houses
in their neighborhood, He did not
know Mrs. Mills particularly. but said
that her description and pictures have
tailed with the woman no and his
wife saw walking, with Hall beyond
the far end of Buccleugh Park the
night of September Ia.
As the O'Rourkes drove toward New
Brunswick they crossed tho river
bridge at Landing lane. turning to-
ward Easton avenue and following that
road toward New Brunswick. II was
close To Landing lane and Easton ave-
nue.. a few hundred feet from the en-
trance to DE Russey lane, that the
couple were walking, IN the direction
of the lane. They were much absorbed
in each other, ORourke says. and al
though he would not make any direct
statement IL is understood that the
woman was crying bitterly. In her
hand she carried n paper package, and
was dressed exactly ms the descriptions
of Mrs Mills stated.
Has No Doubt About Hall.
There Is no doubt in O'Rourke's g
mind that the man was Hall, for he
knew him well. Hall did not have on
tho usual Roman collar he wore about
town, O'Rourke says.
THE woman particularly attracted

to talk about that part Of It. You know
we might have both seen II all n few
minutes later" he said. referring to
the shooting. Further than that he
would not talk.

the authorities have not only estab.

on which Mrs. Mills was seen by tn,

for the first time the mystery IA {,
how the clergyman reached the Phil
lips farm is cleared up.
Norman II. Tingle, a clerk who live
in the neighborhood OF Dy1iuasy Lane
has told the authorities' that he nn'
Ihis wife were sitting on the porch q
their home FOR quite a while durtnl
the evening of September IA. It was
pleasant, clear night, and tho star
and clear sky made vision for quite
distance possible.
They sat there FOR a little less tina
an hour, Tingle Gays. when their con

Sailing To7pdrds Old England
By REV. R. G.. KIRKBRIDE

To My People and Friends of Min
eral Point:
l take the pleasure of writing a
few lines on our trip across the pond.
After arriving in Boston by train we
made our way to the nearest place of
abode of the Boston pier. Tuesday
being Decoration Day there was an
exhibition of the new S. S. Samaria.
Over 5000 people were shown
through the floating palace. We
surely enjoyed this, for it gave us a
chance to find our rooms before the
time of sailing. 1 felt pleased to
know that the company allowed visit
ors to go on the ship with their
friends for short time before sail
ing but it was hard parting when the
bell rang for them to depart.
The time of departure drew near.
Crowds gathered near the boat wait
ing for the final moment to start.
At last the boat whistle blew loud, to
back out of the pier, which noise re-
minded me of Brother James Fenley
when he wishes to back out of that
side garage, footing his large horn on
small Ford.
Out in the open water we sailed,
with waving of hands to friends left
behind--many shedding tears. We
started to the first dinner on board.
1t was quite job to find our places
for several days. If they only had
some of those peculiarx mirrors hung
around in the Railways there would
have been a circus 1t did not seem
long before the next meal at 500 p.
m. and then again at 500 p. NJ
chocolate, bread and cheese.
The first night spent in our births
was very peaceful. The first call to
rise was at 700 a. m. and breakfast
at 1880. There was surely a jolly
crowd on the boat. Several vessels
passed the first day. On the second
day out few were beginning to feel
as if the fish had been neglected, so
they went to the railing seeking to
feed them. The weather for the
first few days was cold and there was
little fog on the second day. There
were large number going to Ireland

U. S. Department of Agriculture

Heavy rains in northern counties
further delayed farm work, but was
favorable for growth of small grains
and grasses. The nights were cool
and sunshine was inadequate for the
best Development Of corn. Winter
wheat is mostly headed. Second cul-
tivation of corn has begun in south
ern counties, but soil is rather dry
and rains would be beneficial.
Planting of late potatoes is nearly
completed Early potatoes being
cultivated. Haying general through
out the State and large yields are re-
ported. Over most of the State the
weather was too wet for curing.
Pastures continue in very good
condition. Cherries ripened in east
ern counties. Cranberries making
vigorous growth with numerous
hooks, and are somewhat earlier
than usual. Some boys already
show abundant bloom. Canning or
peas has begun. Strawberries being
picked. Garden truck, soy beans,
and sugar beets good. Fields in
good condition for transplanting to-
bacco. A tornado which occurred in
several northwestern counties on the
evening of the 18th caused six fatal
tiles and property loss of about
$1,0O0,000.

I could not keep out of the crowd. I

They seem to have most everything
on this boat-at certain hours the
bar is open where stout beer, ginger
ale, candies, fruits and CONNECTIONS
of all kinds are sold ;oranges selling
for only cents each and apples 4
| cents each. One cannot evade the
| law even on the ocean-two men be-
| ing placed behind the bars on board
ship recently. l was glad to note this
| for one feels much safer in such
crowd.
There is every convenience on this
vessel There are many children with
! their parents enjoying themselves.
Sunday morning all were talking
church There were services for all.
After dinner my wife and l began to
seek for chairs-there was Alfred
and girl friend chatting together.
UP to Sunday noon we covered
1879 miles. We have felt fine so far
and have not missed any meals.
Monday night concert was given by
some of the passengers and part of
the crew. The proceeds were for the
Sailors Institute. 1t lasted FOR two
hours and was very enjoyable. The
! ships orchestra played for us on
Tuesday evening. We are now very
near to Queenstown, where this mail
will be sent from. In closing l wish
to say that we are all in good health
and fine spirits. There are many old
| Church of England people going
home and as the time Of parting
draws near, they feel sorry to leave.
However we have made many fine
friends on our splendid voyage.

Platteville Normal Student
Drowned.

Ambrose Barnes of Bagley, a stud
ent for the past year at the Normal
and attending summer school, drown
ed at Horns swimming pond at 1880
last Tuesday evening. Barnes could
swim only few strokes and when he
attempted to swim from the diving
platform in to the shore, he went UNI
der, shouting to his companion that
he was call in" just as he went
down. Other bathers Immediately
came out to assist in rescuing him.
Morris Anderson, his companion, was
nearest to the scene and tried to save
him, but as he was not good swim
mer himself Barnes pulled him under
when he went down the second time.
Anderson managed to free himself
and helped the other bathers to 10
cate his drowning pal but by the time
they managed to get him out Barnes
had gone down for the third time. A
doctor was called at once and at
tempts were made at resuscitatiOn
with a pulmoter All attempts to re-
vive him proved fruitless. 1t is be-
lieved that one of the causes for his
exhaustion was the large meal he ate
just before going in. This tragedy is
a. warming to all swimmers to wait
the allotted one hour after meals be-
fore entering the water.

County Loses Many Millions
Through Turnover.

1t is estimated that, by frequent
changes of teachers and the "break-
ing in" of beginners, the schools of
the country suffer hundred million
dollars loss annually. The average
length of service of rural school
teachers in most states is less than
three years; in cities, five years; in
high schools, longer, perhaps. To
this must be added the shifting of
teachers. from one position to anoth-
er.
