WOODLAWN FARMERS' CLUB.
[Reported for the Alexandria Gazette.]
The Woodlawn Farmers' Club met,
according to adjourameut, at Bay View,
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. H.
Roberts, oo November L'6, and was call?
ed to order by President E. E. Mason.
The minu'es of the October meeling
were read and, with a blight correction,
approved.
At the request of E. E. Mason th
secretary read from the November
number of Success an article by Wm
Cook, president of the British aBSOcia
tion for the advancement of science, on
the probability of a scarcity of the
wot Id's food supply. The article was
unique and the discussion which follow
ed the reading brought out some cu
rious facts and some of the members ex?
pressed the opinion that fifty years
hence our met nods of agriculture will
be looked upon as primitive as we
consider the methods of colonial titnef,
The prospective milk trust in the DI
trict of Columbia was considered at
s^me length and it was the general
opinion that it would amouut to notb
i K
Janus Roberts thought that though
on general principles we'consider trusts
as uetrimental to our interests yet the
oil trust a?d sugar trust, the two larg
e t of such combinations, have done
more tbau anything else to cheapen
those two products.
The secretary introduced the subject
of rural free mail deiiv.-ry and read a
circular letter lrom the PostofEce De
partment. 8omeofthe main features
of the subject were discudded, but the
club did not seem ready to take any
positive action.

journed to meet on D cember 31->t at

SHOT TO KILL HH DOUBLE.
Io a mysterious shooting that occur?
red in St. Louia cn June 14 1897, anc:
resulted in th? death oi Eilio.t L
Duckworth, at Kansas City. Kis , soni?
time after ihar, is apparently solvei
Duckworth weut to St. Louis from
Springfield, Mo , to meet Edward L.
Doliintr, an Indiana bank cashier, who
in a letter had offered him a remunera?
tive position.
Be:ore meeting Dulling, Duckworth,
who had reeistered at ih? Planters'
Hotel, strolled out to Forest Park,
where be was later found uu toe eanu
day badly wounded with a bullet hole
in his head and a revolver lying beside
him. It was apparently a case of sui?
cide.
In Duckworth's pocket was found a
card bearing these wordK "I am Ed?
ward L Dollirg,of Terre Haute, Ind.
in case of accident?"
Dolling, it appears, was a that time
wanted for embezzling $30,000 from a
bank in a small town near Terre Haute
Ind. He disappeared about the timc? e
wrote the letter to Duckworth, making
the St. Louis appointment with the lat?
ter. Dolling and Duckworth, who were
not acquainted personally, resembled
each other to a remarkable degree.
Duckworth was decoyed to St. Louis
by Dolling and fatally shot, a card put
in his pocket with the latter's rime on
it and the wounded man passed off on
the police and the public as the missing
embezzler.
Duckworth was taken home by his
sister, Mrs. Eva C. Hutchinson, of
Hutchinson, Kas , he having revealed
his identity. The wounded man denied
Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich., tells bow such a
slave was made fres. He say?: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After nsing two bottles of Elec?
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im?
proved and able to do her own work."
This supreme remedy for female dis?
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep?
lessness, melancholy, headache, back?
ache, fainting and dizzv spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godtend
to weak, sickly, run down people
