Then Cuts his own Throat -with a Razor. John W. Morris, city treasurer of Lexington Ky., killed his six- year-old son on Saturday. He also shot hi.s daughter and sistet. The ladies will recover. After attempting to kill the whole family, Morris killed himself. He had been in the asylum ten years ago, but had since been well. When the servant awoke at 7: 45 Saturday morning, he arose with an insane light in his eyes, and as the servant retreated, two shots were fired. Mrs. Marrs and her sister in-law, Miss Ida, a school teacher, ran up to the room, but Mrs. Mairs fainted 011 the steps just as Helen ran out of the room. Miss Ida entered the room and found Marrs brand ishing a pistol. He struck her with the weapon and fired, but the bullet misled its mark. He then shut and locked the door, and when the neighbors assembl ed and -forced an entrance, he was found with his throat cut from ear to ear, his head hanging to the body. The little boy was shot through the head, but will recover. Mrs. Marrs is in a crit ical condition from nervous pros tration. The Marrs family is a prominently one socially and financially in Kentucky.

HIS SERMON GAVE OFFENSE TO CERTAIN YOUNG MEN OF KANSAS. The Rev. John Coggswell, a:: itinerant evangelist who holds meetings in school houses throughout Oklahoma, preached a sermon in a school house near Clifton, in Lincoln county, Kan., in which he made a fierce attack upon dancing, card-nlavinj? and other amu'sements. He declared that literary socie-1 ties were institutions of the devil and denounced all who attended them. He then launched out in a tirade against dancing, and after exhausting his vocabulary oi epithets to apply to those who engaged in such amusements, reached a climax ot denuncia tion by calling all women and girls who danced "hell cats." The sermon aroused intense feeling in the neighborhood, and the young men resolved to pun ish the preacher. Accordingly a committee of them took him out of bed. clad only in his night clothes, and rode him two miles on a rail. They then gave him a tongue lashing and told him they would give him just twenty four hours to leave the country. He was informed that if he had not departed by that time, they would apply a coat of tar an.l feathefs. He was in a pitiable condition from cold and fright, and the neighbors made up a small purse for him. Want White House Relics The story that the President and Mrs. Cleveland are engaged in making a general distribution of their four years' accumulation of articles, valuable and others wTise, has gene broadcast through the laud, and the White House clerical force is in despair over the increase in the mail. Some body started the story that Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland would give away about 3,000 presents that could not be taken to their new home at Princeton. The appli cations for guns used by the Pres ident during his ducking trips are numerous. Others are for baby carriages, suits of the Pres ident's clothes, gowns worn by Mrs. Cleveland, cribs used by the Cleveland children, walking sticks, old hats, underwear, and numerous other things. Some of the people have written nam1 ing no particular article they de sire, but requesting that "some little present" be sent them. Their idea seems to be that Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland intend o dispose of all their clothes they wear. As a matter of fact, the idea is entirely erroneous. The President and Airs. Cleveland are probably making a few parting gifts to close friends, but the distribution does not extend out side of that small circle. Has Fasted Thirty-Seven Days. Robert Gardner, a young man who went to Los Angeles, Cal., from Chicago, has been found in a perfectly healthy condition at a hotel in that city undergoing an absolute fast. Sunday last he completed his thirty-seventh day. He refuses to say what is the exact purpose of his experiment, but it appears to be some part of his faith. He sleeps about twelve hours every day, and drinks nothing but warm and cold water. Although a mem ber of no church, he studies the Bible for hours. A Boston man has invented an electric bell buoy which autos matically strikes its own number at regular intervals, thus enabk ing the captain of any vessel within hearing distance to know his position on the darkest night. Three of these buoys have been placed iu Boston harbor, and will be tested by Government officials. This paper for $1.00 a year. THE H ffl OYSTER IM WILL ENLIVEN THE INDUS TRY IN THE STATE, INCREASES THE AREA Jn Which Oysters may be Dredg ed; imposes a tax of 2 cents and allows a rebate of 1 cent for Canning. The House on Saturday pass ed the bill reviving the oyster laws of the State It is very important and some amend ments are incorporated. It is a compromise measure. The bill increases the area in which oysters may be dredged so as to coverall the waters over ten feet deep; increases the size ofvessels from twenty-five tons to thirty; imposes tax of 2 cents per bushel cu oysters, but allows rebate of 1 cent on each bushel for canning in the State. It imposes tax of 25 cents 011 each man taking oysters with tongs, the tax be ing 53 per ton on all vessels dredging.

THE DOOR MAT WILL NO LONGER REMAIN THE GUARDIAN FOR THE KEY The other day a very estimable lady came to town to do a little shopping, says the Atlanta Co?is stilutiou. Of course the key was put un der the door mat so that her son, vhom she expected to return before her, could get in. In her absence a tramp, who had been hanging around the place a num ber of days and had caught on, boldly went into the house, got some of the choicest viands out of the pantry, put them on the table and pitched in. He also found a bottle of wine that revived his spirits. He did not expect any one there for a number of hours and so he took it easy. In the meantime the lady of the house haviug finished her shopping returned home and, seeing the front door unlocked, expected to find her son inside. Imagine her horror when she opened the dining room door and saw sitting at her table the dust iest looking tramp that ever vied with his companions in accumu lating dirt on his epidermis. The lady was dumfounded. In the silence that followed the tramp cooly remarked: "Madam, I shall become scarce, now, ez I've eaten euuff. All I kin give yer back for this good meal and wat I want ter say ter yer is that yer ought to find a new hidin place fer yer key. I won't charge yer nothiu' for this advice." With that the tramp departed. That's the whole secret in a word. We can core no disease unless we can keep op the pa tient's strength. And there's only one way to do that feed him.

Hot Fire and cy j Burns along Time in Stoves. The long, cold wnter of the Northwest section, particularly of the Dakotas and eastern Mon tana, has developed many new ideas in regard to where the in- hire supply of fuel for the prarie farmer and other individuals o1 that section must come trom.ana it is now quite definitely settled that such supply must sooner or be raised upon the farm, for the farmer of that section wlio does 1 not own any timber fiinds that his fuel in one winter is a very costly item, wood being any- where from $6 to $8 a cord. When the farmer lives away from the timber belt the supply must come by rail, wlietlier lie purchases wood or coal, iiotn are very expensive, and this year few farmers have ready money. In fact, large numbers of farm- ers cannot ariord barely enougn . 1 1 fuel to keep their Houses 111 a semi-comfortable state. The people are hardly to blame in undergoing suffering for the sake of saving expense, but it has brought them to a sense 01 practical realization r , w 1 i: -i; that in the tuture something must be done to furnish cheaper fuel. That this will be the next step in domestic economy with jthem there can scarcely be any doubt. In this county of Lyon many people acting in line with the ideas here expressed have been experimenting with corn for fuel, and tliev report it a much greater success than they , j had reason to anticipate. They are so delighted with it that thev will henceforth use no j other fuel. It gives out a very strong, regular heat, as does good hard wood, and it lasts nearly as long, The maximum limits, however, would be far better than any results yet obtained, as the methods of burning it are as yet very crude. There can be no doubt, however, that inventors will be equal to the emergency and in due time create a nearly perfect corn stove or special fur- nace which will answer the usu- al requirements. As soon as this is done the farmers and others who are prepared to take advantage of the benefits may cultivate their own fuel on their own land and probably save 50 per cent, by doing so. Two tons of corn would be equivalent to about one cord of hard wood if the corn were burned econom- ically, and corn for fuel would not need, by any mean0, the care that it would when grown for food. The stalks and blades ot corn hp hnrnpd also, which pives ' ---- - o a much greater amount of luel to the acre. They would need to be cut into short lengths and the remnants tightly packed to gether, haviug the appearance of good sized sticks of wood, in order for them to produce a hot fire and to last long in a stove or furnace. But they will certainly pay for the labor by giving in return a very hot fire. The prejudice and squeamish ness formerly existing against the use of grain for fuel are fast dying away, for the people are realizing that grain is one of na ture's fuels and was intended for that purpose as well as to use as a cereal product. Could the people use wood or coal for food there is not much doubt that they would do it, but as they cannot they have no scruples of conscience about burning either. So wilUcbe cereals be regarded value is extorted Resides burning corn regularly for fuel, many persons have tried the experiment" of burning oats and wheat. Doth of these grains are reported as making most ex cellent substitutes for wood, the chief difficulty experienced be- in2 the trouble of putting up the lutl in small and compact lorm convenient lor handling and burning. Oat straw or wheat straw may be bound together in small bundles or "logs" so as to last for a considerable time. As it is now, a farmer or individual in a prairie town pavs out 3o for fueJ n a wjuten Most all of it s tQ rajiroa(is or syndicates amj no one ju tije vicinity is profited by it. In all probability he coui(j jmve saveci 550 by us- jng coni) oats or wheat fuel, or all tiree s0 jie saves by turn- his jabor into money aml 1 1 h. i- .tlor.v nt hone to . tneet other expenses.

Fn fin KH U.S OF COLUMBUS. WHILE HUNTING ON AN ISLAND IN FLORIDA. LETTER OF INSTRUCTION From Columbus to Velasquez being among the Articles Unearthed. W. C. Zimmerman, archaro- logist with a party ot mends nas been on a camp hunt in San Carlos Hay Islands, Florida. On one of these islands the hunters discoved relics of an ex- i pedition sent out from Cuba by Christopher Columbus when the great discoverer was Governor of that island. The men found a low mound, which Zimmerman insisted on examining After a little digging four complete suits of armor were unhearthed and each suit contain ed a skeleton. Four swords of Toledo make also found, and a few blunderbusses of antique pattern Further digging brought to light two iron boxes, one large and one small. The large box was full of Spanish doubloons, Uasilv worth SG.ooo. In the small box was found a stirrup of solid gold, , bearing the name Sebastian Valasqucz, and the Mto t a no- .1 nortrait of a beautis 1 w w , j. ful lady, painted on ivory; a cop- per medalion, bearing a raised figure of Christopher Columbus, and the date 1497, and a small roll of parchment, covered witli well-preserved writing. Zimmerman, who is a fine 1 ' linguist, examined the parch- ment and found it was a letter of instructions from Christopher Columbus to Sebastian Velas- quez, who was about to lead an UytWHHom from Cuba to the main land of Florida. The let ter is sined by Columbus as Qovernor Gf Cuba Zimmerman thinks the Vclas quez expedition was wrecked near San Carlos and survivors took rcfuge Gn the island, where they filially perished. Zimmers man has the relics with him, and will dispose of them to the Gov ernment or some university. FEATHERS UNHEALTHY. Feather beds, though so com fortable, are to many people pos itively unhealthy. Feathers are excellent retainers and conduct ors of heat so much so that the body is kept at too high a tem perature, and chills and colds ensue on arising. Beside, a feather bed retains all the noxious vapors thrown off by the body, and preserves them to be reabsorbed by the sleeper each night, often proving a fruitful source of diseases. A fine, firm straw mattress, or bet ter still a hair one should be used whenever possible. Of paramount importance to ward securing peaceful slumber is the retiring to bed in a happy frame of mind. Children should not be punished of scolded just before retiring. Rather have a romp or a game, and send them to bed with dimples in their cheeks. Likewise, children of a large growth should banish all care before retiring. The whole system will be far more invigorated and far better able to bear mental strain on the morrow if the mind has been free Irom care during the night. It is sometimes a difficult matter to accomplished this. When any special worry, or household cares, or business anxieties, or j any sorrow or grief has been with us during the day, with the prc mise of still greater troubles on the morrow, it may seem imposs ible to throw off the anxiety and care, and it will require a very strong effort of the will to keep the mind from such troublesome subjects at night; but with practs ice and determination it can be done, andthe healthful sleep ob tained in consequence will great ly lighten the cares of the follow ing day.
