These are an excellent relish to serve with a roast or fowl, or may be
used as dessert. For this purpose, large fine peaches are a de
sideratum. Peel with a fruit knife or plunge into boiling water
for a moment, when the skins will rub off as easily as the skin of
a tomato. Leave whole, but stick a couple of cloves In each peach
for flavor. Arrange in a rather deep baking dish, sprinkle with sugar
and dot the tops of the peaches with bits of butter. Add a cupful of
boiling water to the baking pan and sprinkle a few chopped nuts
over the top if desired, and bake in a steady, moderate oven. They
may be served hot or cold. r

FEARFUL GRIMES

LaPorte Digging Up Fiend
ish Work of Mur
derers. LaPorte, Ind., May 6. (Special) The
developments in the LaPorte Gunness
murder situation, are of such a hor
rible nature that they beggar descrip
tion. The crime takes rank with that
of Holmes of Chicago "and the Benders
of Kansas, and Indication are that be
fore the investigation ceases there will
be much revealed, that at present has
not yet been brought to light.
It appears from evidences in hand
that almost all the elements that have
entered into - the work of the big
masters and mistresses of crime in re
cent years will be found to be pres
ent the marriage, bureau, poison, in
surance and arson.
Some of the most important develop
ments are:
The finding of five bodies in addi
tion to those burned and found in the
ruins, some of them dismembered, and
sewed into gunny sacks. These were
exhumed. from the barnyard adjoining
the Gunnes home. The bodies are sup
posed to be those of Andrew Heldgren,
a wealthy bachelor of Aberdeen, S. D.,
who came here in January.
Jennie Olson, an adopted daughter of
Mrs. Belle Gunness, who disappeared
September, 1906, at the age of 18.
Dismembered portions of a large
man, unidentified. Decomposition had
reduced the body to a state that pre
cluded recognition. Only distinguish
able features, black mustache and black
hair.
Two unidentified children apparently
about 12 years of age.
There are several more suspicious
looking places about the grounds which
will be investigated by the diggers.
Here are a few of the questions La
Porte Sherlock Holmes are asking
themselves and each other:
Did Lamphere assist Mrs. Gunness in
running a private murder asylum?
Did he then set fire to her house
through jealously and burn her and the
children?
Did Mrs. Gunness set fire to the house
herself and flee, weaving another body
to bet taken for hers?
Did Jenny Olson go to California to
school, or was she murdered by Mrs
Gunness?
Who helped her murder Heldgren, if
she did so?
Whose ar the children found buried
in the barnyard.
Who was the man with black hair
and mustache who was dismembered
and buried?

County Commissioner Says
Lake County Can't
Build All Roads.
County Commissioner Oscar Krinbill
said this morning that there have been
more petitions In Lake county for
gravel roads than the county would be
able to build in the next three years.
Most of the applications for improved
roads have been in the central part
cf the county and in the creek town
ships. Already Lake county is fam
ous all over this part of the country
on account of the great mileage of
ccuntry boulevards which have been
built in recent years and it appears that
the good work is still going on.
Only the lack of funds will delay the
building of the roads. Each township
limited in the mileage of country
roads it may build by the amount of
the taxes which are collected within
Its limits.
In the northern township where there
3 a great deal of taxable property and
where the large number of railroads
add to the total assessed valuation
there could be built a greater number
of roads than are now contemplated but
u the country districts where they are
n even greater need of good roads
they have reached the limit beyond
which they may not go and and it will
take them threie years to accumulate
funds sufficient to cary on the work
that is already projected.

"THE MAN FROM MEXICO."
The, Man from Mexico," a farce
comedy in three acts, will be the at

Savage "Prince of Pilsen" company and
Mr. Powers of Johnny Ray's company

AT TOWLE'S FRIDAY, MAY 3,
"THE LIOX AND THE MOUSE.''
What will prove a genuine dramatic
treat will be the presentation here on
Friday night. May 8, at Towle's opera
house by Henry B. Harris of the phe
nomenally successful play. "The Lion
and the Mouse, which is now in its
twelfth month of an uninterrupted run
at the Lyceum theater, New York, and
which has bade new records in the
theatrical annals by being the only play
to run through an entire summer sea
son In New York City without a single
break.
The Lion and the Mouse" is from
the pen of Charles Klein, the author
of "The Music Master" and is unanl
mously voted by both press and public,
the most absorbingly interesting play
of the period.
Mr. Klein has taken as his theme
the political and money interests o
the country pitting against them hon
esty and social problem. That a single
man can amass a fortune of a thousand
millions during his life-time is argued
in Mr. Klein's play to be Impossible and
honestly done. John Burkett Ryder,
the central character of the play be
lieves that no one has a right or lib
erty to interfere in any way with hi
collossal schemes and because a judg
of the supreme court renders decision
unfavorable to his interests, Ryder re
moves him from the bench. . Tamper
ins wim tne nonesiy ot a suprem
court judge brings fortha complica

Klein has woven them holds the in
