INTERNAL COMMERCE FOR
THE MONTH OF MAY, 1906.
Internal trade movements of the
United States for the first five months
of the current year show, in the ag
gregate, appreciable gains over those
for corresponding periods of either
1908 or 1904, according to reports re
ceived by the department of commerce
-and labor through it bureau of statis
tics. This is particularly true with re
to grain, total receipts of which,
ftt 15 important primary markets, ag
gregated 278,413, 130 bushels during
the period specified, in contrast with
238,162,976 for the corresponding
months of 1905, and 241,415,131 in 1904.
May receipts amounted to 47,370,293
bushels, compared with 33,079,958 in
May, 1905, and 32,198,112 in 1904.
/.Receipts of spring wheat at Minne
apolis, Milwaukee, Duluth and Chicago,
from August 1 1905, to May 31, 1906,
aggregated 150,167,868 bushels, 15,333,
867 greater than for the corresponding
months in 1904-5, and 12,695,837 in ex.
cesa of those for 1903-4. At Toledo,
8i Louis, Detroit and Kansas City re
ceipts of winter wheat from July 1,
1905, to May 31, 1906, totaled 63,915,
670, bushels, against 55,942,003 bushels
Cor corresponding months in 1904-5,
aid 71,675,948 in 1903-4.
Bastbound trunk line movements of
grata from Chicago and Chicago Junc
tion during May totaled 11,675,000
bushels, exceeding those of May, 1905,
by pearly 6 million bushels, and of
May, 1904, by over 600,000 bushels.
.81milar shipment sfor the first five
months of 1906 amounted to 63,280,000
bushel?, over 11 million bushels in ex
cess of those for corresponding months
-la 1905, and more than 14 million
greater than those for 1904.
At Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St.

Heart with Love's flag half mast high.
Love has come, but Love passed by.
Faithless Hope his colors bore,
Kolly opened wide the door.
And he stopped a little space
Kre he turned away his face.
Now thou shalt alike repent
That he entered, that he went.
Though noon grlor.v be withdrawn.
Grateful was the radiant dawn.
Master of the subtlest art,
Hope has gladdened soul and heart.

While she dwelt in Paradise.

Ye society editor has returned from
her three weeks' vacation, spent at the
Devils Lake Chautauqua. We had a
good time boating, bathing, attending
the splendid programs furnished by
the Chautauqua association in the big
auditorium this year, greeting old
friends from various parts of the state,
and incidentally communing a little
with mother nature in the shape of
mosquitoes, ants, spiders and others
of the crawling, creeping and flying
variety. They all greeted us warmly,
especially the mosquitoes, in fact, they
marked their gladness at our being
there by an effusion that at times had
to be shaken off in a polite way.
For a general good time, where you
can be either entertained or not en
tertained, as you wish, we recommend
to the people of North Dakota the
Chautauqua for a few weeks' outing.
The bathing cannot be equalled closer
than the sea and the air is exhllerat
ing. And as we say, there is plenty
of amusement to be sought or left
alone, as one chooses.
We returned feeling much benefitted
by the trip. Benefitted physically by
the bracing air, bathing, etc., mentally
by the programs given from day to
day, and socially by the people we
met. Some of the best people in the
state and, in fact, from other states as
well, gather there each year. You are
just as likely to meet the wealthy rail
road magnate, the United States sen
ator, or the wealthy farmer kings of
North Dakota on the Chautauqua
grounds as you are to meet the com
mon herd in fact, we thought the
common herd were sadly lacking, and
met more of the first varieties than the
latter.
We return with renewed zeal for our
work and ask the hearty co-operation
of the ladies to make the society
columns of the Grand Forks Evening
Times unequalled in the state, in fact,
in the west, because we have the so
ciety to make it so, and with the help
of the ladies will use our own greatest
efforts in that direction.
The society columns of the daily
newspaper can speak just as loudly as
any other in the paper of the prosper
ity and progress of a town. The busi
ness men of a town give their hearty
co-operation generally to the news­
present season, from September 1, to
May 31, aggregated 10,393,403 bales,
nearly 2 million below corresponding
receipts in 1904-5, slightly in excess
of those for 1903-4. The net overland
movement during like periods amount
ed to 886,795 bales in 1905-6, 1,008,709
in 1904-5, and S96.676 in 1903-4, while
the total domestic spinners' takings
were 4,093,506 bales for the present
season, 3,919,237 for the preceding one,
and 3.745,491 for 1903-4. Of the current
season's movement 2,176,866 bales
were sent to northern mills and 1,916,
640 to mills in the South.
Anthracite coal shipments from
eastern producing regions, during May,
amounted to 3,254,230 tons, compared
with 6.005,158 for May, 1905, and 5,285,
079 for May, 1904. For a five-month
period similar shipments aggregated
19.658,484 tons in 1906, 24,872,945 in
1905, and 23,528,412 tons in 1904.
The estimated production of coke at
Conneilsville during the first 22 weeks
of the current year amounted to 6,102,
794 tons, over 300,000 greater than for
the corresponding weeks in 1905, and
nearly 2 millions in excess of that for
1904.
Runs from wells in pipe line produc
ing territory, during May, amounted
to 3.158,045 barrels, against 3,970,173
in May, 1905. For the first five months
of 1906, similar receipts aggregated
15,172,093 barrels, in contrast with 18,
747,946 for the corresponding period
in 1905. Regular deliveries during
May totaled 3,874,981 in 1906 and 4,
101,824 in 1905, while for the five
month period they amounted to 19,
534,174 barrels in 1906 and 20,031,682
in 1905.
Freight shipped by water out of all
domestic ports on the Great Lakes
during May (excluding exports to
Canada) aggregated 7,651,197 net tons,
a loss of 708,912 tons if compared with
similar movements for May, 1903, but
a gain of 6,426,690 to%s over those of
May, 1904. In the latter instance, how
ever, the heavy Increase noted was al
most entirely due to the strike of
steamship employees during the spring
and summe rof 1904, which caused an
almost complete suspension of traffic
during its progress. Of the shipments
for May, 1906, 4,893,755 net tons were
ore and minerals, 1,223,263 tons coal,
472,044 tons logs and lumber, 283,714
tons grain and flaxseed, 127,517 tons
flour, and 650,914 tons unclassified
During the first five months of 1906
the freight shipments on the Great
Lakes aggregated 13,069,678 net tons,
and notwithstanding the loss in the
May tonnage was nearly a million tons
in excess of shipments for the corre
sponding period in 1905. Ore and
mineral shipments amounted to 6,808,
835 tons coal, 3,017,169 tons grain
and flaxseed, 866,735 tons logs and
lumber, 832,773 tons flour, 275,492
tons and unclassified freight, 1,268,
656 tons. As compared with the corre
sponding 1905 movements, gains were
made in the withdrawals of all' the
articles specified, with the exception
of a decrease in log shipments.
Vessel clearances on the Great
Lakes during May totaled 8,852 of
9,781,810 net tons, compared with 9,083
of 10,706,567 for May, 1905, and 4,730
of 2,705,522 for May, 1904. Of the 1906
movement, 2,178 vessels of 2,998,761
tons cleared "light," or without cargo,
and 6,674 of 6,783,049 tons carried
freight. The city reporting the great
eat number of clearances was Chi­

When they have done this, it is the
ladies' time then, by their efforts to
show what has really been accom
plished—and in no way is it so mark
edly shown as in the social functions
given. And to know of these functions
they must be properly reported and
this cannot be accomplished well with
out the help of the ladies. Many
ladies say when asked to call us up
and report a function of any sort, that
it looks too much like seeking news
paper notoriety. Far from it. People
are only seeking newspaper notoriety
when they lay themselves liable to
scandal and the police courts—not in
the report of some nice party or en
tertainment that serves to show the
outside world what a town really is
socially.
Wednesday morning Mrs. E. W.
Merrill and her sister. Mrs. T. C. Mc
Cosker entertained at a delightful
bridge whist party complimentary to
their sister, Mrs. S. B. Sampson of
Charlotte, N. C. Three tables at whist
were played and Mrs. D. W. Luke
scoring the highest was awarded the
prize. At 1 o'clock a dainty course
luncheon was served. The ladies re
mained for the greater part of the
afternoon and the game five hundred
was indulged in. Mrs. Robert Camp
bell was awarded the prize. The as
siting ladies were Mrs. David Warren
and Mrs. H. G. Woutat.
Thursday p. m. Mrs. E. W. Merrill
and Mrs. T. C. McCosker entertained,
again at a luncheon complimentary to
Mrs. Sampson and Mrs. Merrill's
mother, Mrs. E. E. Merrill of Minne
apolis. Covers were laid for twenty
two. The afternoon was pleasantly
spent at the game five hundred, and
Mrs. Frank Wilder was awarded first
prize and Mrs. Alvin Robertson the
second.
Mrs. Frank B. Feetham is entertain

Traffic movements on the Sault Ste.
Marie Canals during May amounted
to 5,339,278 net tons, against 5,775,787
in May, 1905, and 449,888 in May, 1904.
During the first two months of the
current season, shipments through the
canals totaled 7,852,545 tons, in con
trast with 7,075,953 during the corre
sponding period in 1905 and 449,920 in
1904. Of the surrent season's move
ment, 6,387,159 tons were eastbound
freight and 1,465,386 westbound. The
more prominent items of the east
bound movement were 30,227,876
bushels of grain, 5,176,649 net tons of
iron ore, and 1,002,482 barrels of flonr,
while the principal item in the west
bound traffic was 1,111.263 net tons of
soft coal. Of the total tonnage in both
directions, 7,118,953 tons passed
through the United States canal and
733,592 tons through the canal in
Canadian territory.
BUSINESS IN PARAGUAY.
Custom House Receipts Nearly Double
—Field for Foreign Exporters.
The South American republic of
Paraguay, if the statements of its
president, in his annual message are
to be credited, is advancing very fa
vorably from a business point of view.
The Banco Paraguaya has been found
ed, in connection with the French
bank of the River Plate, thus forming
one more bond of union with the Ar
gentine Republic. The capital indus
trial company in Parguay, has been in
creased from $800,000 to $6,000,000. A
number of new industrial corporations
have been organized, and an effort
is being made to arrest the abrupt
fluctuations in the quotations of gold,
which are so prejudicial to commercial
transactions, and to fix a rate, so that
the company may return to the pre
dominance of sound money, or, at least,
approximate somewhat closely to it.
To improve the educational methods
of Paraguay ten persons are to be
sent to Europe and the United States
to study mechanical engineering and
auxiliary sciences. In Asuncion elec
tric lighting is soon to be Introduced,
and this will offer an opportunity for
American electric companies to bid
for contracts which promise to very
profitable. The revenue from the cus
tom houses of the republic almost
doubled last year, amounting to
$2,246,797, against $1,507,107 in 1904.
This indicates an Increase in imports
which is promising for exporters of
other countries who are seeking enw
fields of* exploitation. Of course, the
foreign trade of Paraguay will never
be great, but Its Inhabitants require
many things which they can obtain
only from foreign lands, and their con
tribution to the commercial activity
of the globe is not to be despised.

THE EVENINO TIMES, GRAND FORKS, N. D.
Musically speaking, next season will
be overcrowded with personalities and
events. Foreign pianists and violin
ists will vie with the orchestras and
the opera to sustain interest. The bat
tle royal will be among the virtuosi of
the keyboard, for never before have
so many great pianists been announced
for appearance here. Rosenthal, Ga
brllovitsch, Lhevlnne and Paderewiski
will come from Europe, and to them
will be added our own Jeseffy, Fannie
Bloomfield Zeisler and Olga Samar
off. Because of this formidable com
petition Gadowsky, Pachmann, Josef
Hofmann and Harold Bauer have post
poned their next American tours an
other year. Three great violinists will
appear—Kubellk, Ysaye and Caesar
Thompson, and Leoncavallojarill come
with the famous La Scala orchestra
from Milan. Besides these artists the
usual large number of lesser lumin
aries will struggle for attention.
When washing fine china dishes, do
not place them one upon another after
after wiping them. Piling plates and
saucers together while they are warm
is apt to crack the glaze. Therefore,
spread them out to cool before putting
them in the closet. It requires some
care to wash cut glass thoroughly.
Apply the water with a soft brush and
wipe the glass with a fine towel. Par
ticular housewives use sawdust from
a non-resinous wood, such as box or
bass wood, in the drying process. It
Cleans out all the corners and crevices
that cannot be reached with a towel.
After wiping it, place the glass in a
bed of the sawdust and allow it to
remain about half an hour. Spread
the sawdust out to dry after using It.
If this is done it can be used any
number of times. After taking the
glassware from the sawdust, whisk it
off with a soft brush and polish with
a cloth.
All puddings that should be smooth
and creamy, such as custard, rice and
tapioca, ought to bake or steam slow
ly. If they are cooked rapidly they
are apt to curdle.
Grease stains on a kitchen floor are
difficult to remove by ordinary means,
but they will generally come out with
a hot solution of potash. If one ap
plication is not enough, use a second
or even a third. Sometimes the solu
tion, if the wood is very white, will
leave a yellowish stain. To avoid this,
mix some lime with the scolution,
until a thick paste is formed. Let the
paste remain on the floor at least
twelve hours. It is better to use a
weak solution of sal soda and fuller's
earth on'very nice floors.
When butter does not melt at a
temperature of 95 degrees it is because
it is adulterated with something like
suet.
It is said that the green crown at
the top of a pineapple should be taken
off if the fruit is not to be used im
mediately, as otherwise it will absorb
the flavor and juice of the fruit.
Few things clog a waste pipe so
readily as lint. Old scrub cloths and
wash, cloths are apt to shed lint and
thread. These going down the waste
pipes with refuse water are apt to
cling and twist around the joints.
They attach to themselves all small
particles that but for them would pass
through to the sewer thus in time
clogging up the pipe. Well worn, llnty
scrubbing cloths should not be used
in a house where there lis plumbing.
Di8hchoths, also, as soon as they be
come linty, should be destroyed. Wash
tubs are apt to become either wholly or
partially stopped up where there is
much lint from the articles washed
in them. Because the refuse pipe of
the sink is large, tealeaves and coffee
grounds are often disposed of by
emptying them down It. There are a
great many cases where no harm
ever results from this practice, but
it is better not to do it. In a house
hold where the sink became stopped
recently the plumbers, when they took
the pipes to pices, found the trouble
due entirely to the gradual accumula
tion of coffee and tea grounds. Before
the repairs were completed .the
plumber's bill amounted to a consider
able sum.
Grease from 'dishwater Is also apt to
accumulate In time and harden in the
pipes. After pouring greasy water or
anything that has grease particles In
it down the sink pour boiling water
and salsoda after it. Cold water care
lessly thrown down helps to harden
the grease that has gone before it.
For burnt almond cream blanch and
chop eight ounces of Jordan almonds.
Put eight tablespoonfuls of granulated
sugar In a saucepan, add the almonds,
and stir them constantly until they are
a reddish brown. Be careful not to
allow them to blacken. Put two. quarts
of rich cream Into an earthen bowl.
Of Interest to Women
AMONG THE MUSICIANS.
England Is losing yet another ex
ponent of the Gregorian chant in the
person of Malton Boyce, who comes
direct from the Jesuit Church of St.
Alo.v8ius at Oxford. The sou of an
Angellcan vicar (Rev. W. Boyce, M. A.,
Echinswell, Ne^rberry), Mr. Boyce be
came a convert to the Catholic church
just a few years ago. Having received
a complete'' musical training from
Prof. Harold Becket Glbbs, who is
now so well known in this vicinity, he
has appeared In many public and
private pianoforte and organ recitals.
Possessed of a prodigious memory and
a thorough technique (according to
the English press), and a skilled ac
companist, he comes to take up the
duties of organist and choirmaster at
the church of the sacred Heart, Camp
Washington, where the choir has re
cently been under the direction of
Prof. Gibbs. But the talented Sister
Adele has also done a fine work dur
ing the last two years, and it is doubt
ful if there Is a better boy choir in
the city than that to which Mr. Boyce
has been appointed. A close relation
of Lord Alverstone (Lord Chief Justice
of England) and of many other cele
brities, nothing has been left undone
to provide him with the best musical
education. He was a resident pupil
with Prof. Gibbs for over four years,
and since his first appearance has at
tracted the attention of many of the
leading musicians of England. He is
not yet 30 years of age, so that the
future should have much good in store
for him. It has been recently re
marked that this neighborhood has
seen more successes in the cause of
the Gregorian chant than any oher in
the states. Whether or not this be so
it is certainly true that there is no
other locality where there are three
such experts as Father Manzetti, Prof.
Gibbs and Mr. Boyce.
tv,
Heat a little of it and add It boiling
hot to the browned almonds. After
mixing It thoroughly, stir It into the
rest of the cream. Let it stand where
it soon will become cold. In the mean
time prepare a custard with the yolks
of eight new eggs, a quart of milk and
a scant two cups of sugar. Stir It
continually to prevent It from curdling.
When it Is ready, stir it slowly Into
the cream and almonds. This rule will
make over two quarts of ice cream.
For apricot cream peel some ripe
apricots and remove their stones. Pass
the pulp through a fine sieve. Add to
the pulp an equal quantity of sugar.
To every pint of the mixture add a
pint of rich gether freeze It. Canned
apricots or peaches may be used.
Make a quart of rich creamflavor
ed with vanilla or lemon. Make also a
pint of raspberry ice. Just before Ail
ing the mould add a small quantity of
candied fruit to the ice cream. For
this purpose cherries and limes are
best. Line the mould with the rasp
berry Ice and then fill It up with the
ice cream. Another way of serving
this dessert is in individual moulds.
The moulds 8hould be lined with the
ice and then the centre filled with
the cream and the top covered with
the raspberry ice so that the cream is
completely hidden within. A simpler
way of serving it Is merely to fill paper
cases with the ice cream, then spread
raspberry ice on top, decorating it
with a little candied fruit.
Elderly women who love to sew
aften have such poor sight that they
cannot see to thread their needles.
Let one of the younger members of
the family thread a paper of needles by
stringing them all on one thread as one
would string beads. Then, when a
needleful of thread is desired, simply
take the first needle, and as much
thread as is desired with it, pressing
the other needles back against the
spool and fastening them so that they
will not fall off from the thread on
which they are strung. This Is better
than to fill a cushion with threaded
needles, because the loose threads are
apt to become tangled.
An excellent way to clean a straw
hat is with lemon juice. Rub clear
lemon juice over the hat with a small
brush, similar to a toothbrush. The
hat will become very clean in a few
minutes. Use a plentiful supply of
lemon juice. Oxalic acid will also
clean a straw hat.
In place of the usual hamper for
the laundry a better device is three
large bags of plain white duck, one
of them marked, "Coarse Clothes," the
second. "Fine Clothes" and the third,
"Flannels." Tatile linen should be
kept in a bag by itself and should be
carefully examined for stains before
putting it In the tubs.
THE "SERVANT PROBLEM."
This Time It Is Maintained That the
Use of the Family Sitting Boom
Will Solve It.
Many plans for the relief, "eleva
tion" and entertainment of the hired
girl have been tried, especially by
thoughtful housewives in Chicago and
its suburbs, but has any plan suc
ceeded? The hired girl is mistress of
the situation, and she knows it. Prob
ably she resents being patronized and
"helped." How would the people up
stairs like to be visited, instructed and
uplifted by the people in the basement?
So we cannot believe that Miss Eliza
beth M. Rhodes of New York city, sec
retary of the International Research
committee, has reached the heart of
the subject by her kindly suggestion
that the hired girl ought to "have the
use of the sitting room at least once
a week." We doubt if the use of the
sitting room once a week would ap
peal to the hired girl. She wants to
be let alone, to follow her own bent.
If she likes to change, can she be
blamed for guarding herself against
monotony? She has her opinions
strong ones, usually. What with her
wages, and her board and lodging in
cluded, she is really more independ
ent and better off that most of her
employers. And when she wants a
sitting room, she wants one of her
own, not the use of yours.—Every
body's Magazine.
Saving Table Linen.
The refining and stimulating Influ
ence of clean table linen is a matter
not to be ignored or set aside by the
mother of a family. But the advent
of the fruit and berry season makes
the washing of table linen a heavy
burden to the woman who must econ
omize, or, perhaps, do her own wash
ing.
To reduce the handling of large
table cloths during the heat and sul
triness of summer, try the following
suggestion: When you put on a clean
table cloth spread over it, at each
person's place, a large clean napkin
or tray cloth. Then, l&one member of
the family is careless or meets with
an accident, the soiled piece can be
replaced by a clean one, and the dainti
ness and attractiveness of the table
Is preserved. Thus, Instead of put
ting on napkins to cover up spots, use
them to protect the table top and save
washing. An entire change of the
top pieces gives the grateful effect of
fresh linen, yet the washing and iron
ing of those six or eight napkins are
nothing to the strain of "doing up"
large table cloths in dog days.
'Once when in the country where
there was absolutely no help to be
had on any terms a most Immaculate
housekeeper, who was too much of an
invalid to wash and Iron large table
cloths, evolved this method of keeping
her table up to standard. It is safe
to say that not one of her guests ever
suspected the clever ruse, for rarely
did a meal pass that some apprecia
tive soul did not say, "Mrs. your
dellclously fresh table llncfn makes
me hungry every time I enter your
dining room." Mrs. was so
pleased, in fact, with results that by
adding one or two more large cloths
to her four or five she found it possi
ble to go through the whole season
without washing and ironing a large
cloth. The soiled ones were placed in
a tub and boiling water poured over
them to take out fruit stplns. When
cold the water was poured off by a
man of the family, the tub was taken
to the clothes yard, and the clothes
were spread out unwrung on the
grans. A pall of cold soap suds was
plentifully sprinkled over them, and
they were left out in the dew and
through a hot sunny day. By that
time they were dry and sweet, and
clean enough to take no harm by be
ing folded away until the family re
turned to the city, where the steam
laundry "did the rest."

The following story comes from Lit
tle Rock: Sixteen years ago an old
man, enfeebled with more than 70
years of life was carried from his cell
In the old jail at Harrison, Roone coun
ty, by two strong deputy sheriffs, led
through a drizzling rain to the scaf
fold and supported by the officers
while the black cap was adjusted and
the hangman's noose fixed about his
neck. For months he had lain in a
partial stupor refusing to speak, and
almost to eat. In the very course of
nature he could not have long survived
but the law said he must be hanged.
No more abject figure went to the gal
lows than he, and few of the thrifty
spectators heard him utter almost in
audlbly: "Good-bye, Dave," address
ing Sheriff O. A. Eoff, wno immediately
afterward sprung the trap, which sent
his soul to eternity.
The case was a peculiar one in many
respects. Hudspeth was twice indicted
in Marion county by two different
grand juries, for the murder of George
Watkins, in 1886. The body of the sup
posed murdered man was never found.
He was convicted in the Boone circuit
court on change of venue with Judge
R. H. Powell on the bench and the op
inion of the supreme court, on appeal,
was delivered by Justice B. B. Battle.
The grounds for appeal were based
wholly upon questions of procedure
and not upon fact, and was reversed
for error, a second conviction follow
ing soon after.
Now comes another chapter of this
strange story In the following, which
appears in this week's issue of the Yel
lowville Echo:
On last Tuesday Judge John Q. Ad
ams of Greasy Creek found" on his
farm a human skeleton buried about
18 Inches under the ground, on the
creek, nearly a quarter of a mile below
his house. He and his boys were cut
ting down some willows, clearing out
the channel of the creek which had
been swollen by the recent rains, and
washed some of the bones naked, hav
ing taken away the bones from the
knee down. The position of the skele
ton showed that the body was jammed
Ino a short pit or hole and placed on
the left side, the head resting on the
left hand and the right lying just in
front of the face. The legs were
doubled up bringing the knees higher
than the hips. The head lay toward
the bluff and the feet to the creek. The
bones were in an advanced state of de
cay and but few were saved whole.
When uncovered the skull appeared to
be intact but when raised a portion of
the left side was found to be severed.
The balance of the skull remained to
gether until they began washing the
same, when It separated at the seams.
The thigh and arm bones show the
body to have been slightly overS feet
in height and of heavy build. The
teeth In the lower and one side of the
upper jaw are all present and In good
state of preservation, with the excep
tion that one or two of the lower front
teeth are missing.
An examination of the skull and the
manner and surroundings of disposi
tion of the body afford unquestionable
grounds for two conclusions: That a
murder was committed and that the
body was placed where it was for the
purpose of concealment. If these con
clusions be correct, there can be no
doubt but this is the remains of George
Watkins who mysteriously disappeared
in December, 1886, and for whose mur
der Andy Hudspeth was. aferwards
charged, tried convicted and hanged.
Although no dead body had been found
there could be no doubt that Watkins
was murdered and the surrounding cir
cumstances pointing to the guilt of
Hudspeth were so overwhelming as to
convince the jury, judge supreme court
and governor of his guilt.
As to the proposition that the skele
ton being the remains of a victim 5f
murder there is only one mark of evi
dence, but it Is strong and conclusive.

A Voice From the Tomb
On the left side of the skull Is the
mark of some sharp instrument, which
entered about two inches above the ear
and pierced the head within a half inch
of the base and into the temple, show
ing that the blow was dealt from be
hind. A8v8tated above, that side was
severed when the skull was raised hav
ing broken out' each way from the gash
These breaks and marks of the cut are
as plainly discernible here as the mark
of an ax in a stick of wood which had
broken on it.
Was the body placed there for the
purpose of concealment?
The place is at the bottom of a cliff
perhaps 30 feet high overhanging
Greasy Creek. Up to a few years ago
the wagon road along Greasy Creek
passed over this cliff and while the
creek bottom below was inclosed, it
was not cleared, being covered with a
dense growth of bushes and vines mak
ing the seclusion of the place as an ev
idence of a purpose of concealment, a
stronger evidence was found in the
fact that a number of heavy rocks were
lying on top of the skeleton when
found, they having, been thrown on the
body when placed there. Friends
would not bury a body in such a place
nor in such a manner.
It was claimed that Hudspeth'killed'
Watkins with a hatchet while in a wag
on on their way from Yellvllle. The
blood on the wagon was one of the
strongest convincing circumstances
surrounding the affair. The body of
Watkins was thought to have been tak
en to Greasy creek and concealed one
night a short time after his disappear
ance. One cold night a wagon and
team corresponding to that formerly
owned by Watkins was reported to
have been seen going in the directioniot'
Greasy Creek and in a few hours was
seen going back. That part of the
country was earnestly searched for the
body, but without success.
There are a number of good people
in Marlon county who have never felt
satisfied over the execution of Hudspeth
for the reason that the dead body of
his supposed victim could not be pro
duced thus leaving as they felt, room
for a possible doubt as to Watkins
really being dead and that the awful
mistake of hanging an Innocent man
might have been made, despite the
strong evidence against him. The
finding of this skeleton, In our opinion,
clears up a crime which has for twenty
years been veiled in mystery and ought
to forever set at rest the question as to
whether or not Watkins Is really dead,
the place on which the skeleton was
found Is known as the Anglln place,
just below the Stafford place, being a
part of the Lynn Adams estate.
By unanimous oplon the Colorado
supreme court has upheld the consti
tutionality of the employers' liability
act passed by the legislature In 1901.
Under this act an employer is respon
sible for the death of an emplaye by
accident, even if It be caused by the
negligence of a co-employe.
The first plea for union labor tin^
was ever made before a national con
vention of the Confederation of Wom
en's clubs was voiced at St Paul by
Mrs. Van der Vaart, who called upon
her hearers to aid the working girl
by buying those goods only which are
manufactured under good worklnz
