She and her sister, Mrs. Barbara Wyant, were in the woman's cell together and each was given an ordinary case knife and spoon when their dinner was taken to them.

After they had time to cat Deputy Sheriff Head started to the cell which is in the second story of the jail and just before ho reached the door he heard a terrible scream. He was in the room iu a few seconds, the woman falling to the floor just as he opened the door, her throat cut from ear to ear. the jugular vein being severed.

She was placed on a bed and Dr.

Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Slattery and daughter Romona returned from their trip of pleasure and sight seeing last Thursday. They were gone six weeks. They went from here to Minot, North Dakota, via the Chicago and St. Paul, where Mr. Slattery owns a farm.- From there they went to Spokane and Seattle, Wash., where they remained a few days. The trip down the

aeej coast to Sun Francisco was an every changing sight of romantic scenry. They stopped for a few days at Portland, Ore. and visited the Louis and Clark Exposition. After a few days visit with Mrs. Slattery's sister at San Francisco and other relatives at. San Jose they arrived at Los Angeles, one of the most interesting cities in the United States, where dowers bloom from Janurary to December and ripe fruit is always iu season. Palo Alto, the home of Stanford University, was one of the most impressive sigts along the entire line. This University was erected in memory of Lelaud Stanford Jr. and is one of the most richly endowed institutions of learning in the world.

tak-,. The sheriff said he gave them knives to eat with because he had no thought of them harming them selves or any one else with an ordinary table knife.

He thinks the girl probably sharpened the knife on the stove, and the gash she made at one stroke shows that the determination of the girl to end her life gave her more than ordinary nerve and strength.

The evidence against the women was overwhelming. Policeman Shearer accompanied by William Ormond, Arthur Wiltfong and Charles Humphreys drove to the residence of Mrs. Miller in Starke couney Thursday. They had secured a search warrant here, supposing the home of the women in this county, but when they found that it was in Starke county they went to Knox and got a warrant there. The Knox marshal accompanied them to Mrs. Millers where they found about $200 worth of goods supjK>sed to have been stolen. The goods consisted of silks, silk 3kirts. shoes, umbrellas, jewelry and other articles which were taken to Knox by the marshal.

Merchants at Knox and North Judson have lost goods and sus- picioned Mrs. Wynant and Miss Miller, but had not caught them taking anything.

Had they not attempted to get away with two fine trimmed hats at Ball's Thursday morning they would not probably havo been detected hero as they had probably taken goods from all the stores in Plymouth at other times.

The girl who committed suicide has light hair and fair complexion and seemed fairly intelligent. It is a sad ending to a life so young. Sheriff Steiner and family are perhaps as sorry as any relative of the girl can be, but no blame can be ascribed to them.

The remains were taken to Bunnell's undertaking establishment and prepared for burial. A telegram announcing the girl’s death was sent to the sheriff at Knox.— Plymouth Tribune.

Academy several cadets IlC} time to enjoy hunting privileges. Most of the nimrods have killed a mud hen at least, a few are patient and clever enough to get better game.

Other visitors during the week wereC. B. Mathiol, Pittsburg; Ford Wood. Indianapolis; Bessie Harbor, Bloomington; W. A. Snyder, Piqua; H. M. McCauley, Dubuque and Mr. E. Porter and daughter, of Shelbyville. Ind.

The Cavalry department is exceedingly large this year. Because of the great numbers enrolled in this drill three squads have been formed. Judging by the reception the broncho buster received their will bo some clever stunts in the riding hall this winter.

The library at the Academy is undergoing improvements. Two rooms instead of one will be used for library and reading room purposes. Several new monthly publications appear on the magazine table. The library which was always good will be better than ever.

O b itu a ry .Margaret Friend was born in St.

Joseph county, Indiana, March 1, 1851. She was united in marriage to David Swigart, September 22, 1805. To this union were born live children, William, of Culver; Lewis, of Montgomery, Ala,; Eliza- beth Houghton, of Plymouth; Harry, ol' Peru and Irvin, of Logan- sport. These survive her to mourn her departure, her husband and children, seven grand children, four sisters, two brothers and many friends.

She united with the Grace Ro- formed church in recent years, was always regular in attendance at Divine worship and led a quiet, unassuming life. She passed away Oct. 28, aged f»4 years, 7 months and 27 days. The funeral was held Oct. 31,*by her pastor, S. E. Klopfenstein at the Grace Reform - ed church.

F a rm B u tte r M a k in g .The major portion of the butter

made on the farm and sold at the grocery stores isof inferior quality. The many processes or renovated butter plants thoroughout the United States bear evidence to the fact. They are monuments of fallen butter.

Jf butter making, cream and milk productions are to be carried out successfully on the farm two things must Ui constantly kept in mind: 1. Cleanliness and 2. the keeping of milk or cream at a low temperature. If the word “cleanliness” could be properly understood, a great deal would be accomplished toward the production of a better quality of dairy products. Few would keep milk or any other food product in utensils and places that were unclean, if conscious of it.. In the production of milk and cream, and in the manufacture of butter, it is essential to keep away and destroy all undesirable germs. Some dairy farmers keep their milk and cream in the kitchen, some in the cellar and other in the barn. Such places are not at all commendable. The atmosphere in cellars, kitchens and barns is seldom pure. Milk, cream and butter have the peculiar property of being able to absorb any foreign odor with which they come in contact.

Butter kept in a room where there are onions, csabbage, potatoes, turnips, bologna, bloody or putrid meat, I say such butter is not tit to be oaten by anyone except Hotentots or South Sea Islanders.

It is not uncommon for a butter judge at our butter contests to fault butter aud trace the source of the fault to improper surroundings. G. W. G.

“The world is not down on you. Il is busy, that is all.” No run of hard luck should lead a man or woman to believe that the world is cold and heartless or that it has no interest in the affairs of the individual. People are absorbed in their own pursuits as they must, necessarily, be to accomplish what they desire, but their hearts hold fountains of sympathy and good will which once opended How generously for the relief and encouragement of the less fortunate.

The election for town officers will be held next Tuesday. Everything is quiet, but little being said on either side. The candidates arc all good men. Some are better qualified than others and it remains for the voters to pass judgement on qualifications.

North Judson claims to have the most youthful band in the state. The oldest member is not more than 14 years. They were instructed by Prof. George Smith and have attained a proficiency that would reflect credit upon any band of more mature years.

Theodore Roosevelt will bo nominated for President by the Demo- cratic party in BIOS, will be indorsed by the Republican party and will bo well nigh unanimously elected by the people, is the prophecy made by Walter Wellman, corresjK>ndent for the Chicago Redord Herald.

S. S. Chadwick transacted business at Plymouth Saturday and while there viewed the remains of the young woman who committed suicide. Ho states that Allman's Busy Big Store was crowded to its limits with eager customers and that quite a number were from Culver. Allman advertises iu the Citizen.

The two shoplifters taken in by the Plymouth authorities were in Culver Wednesday. They passed through Burr Oak in the morning stopping there long enough to steal a pair of shot's from Wil- holins store, after which they inquired the way to Culver and spent the rest of the day here. Our merchants do not miss any goods, so it is not. known whether they received any plunder while here.

Road work is progressing rapidly and satisfactorily.

A gentelman from Crawfords- ville was here one day last week, looking after a location for a clothing store. W7e are unable to learn whether Culver suited him.

Culver is much in need of a first class jeweler. This ought to be a good opening for a good repair workman, with enough capital to carry an assorted line of jewelry.

The International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago is postponed until the week of December, it"> to 23. The delay is caused by the inability of the contractors, to complete the building sooner.

Anna Wynant was released from the jail Saturday afternoon on a $150 bail, until the November term of court. Her brother arrived, from Chicago Saturday and deposited the money for her bail. The case will be tried in the November term of court.

The article in lasts week's C i t i zen pertaining to to tho game of ball played at theBourbon fair, was written by one who played in the game and not by tho editor. We know nothing about the the difficulty and care less. Wo have reasons to believe that the Culver boys conducted themselves with propriety and did not deserve the column of personal abuse given them by the Advance.

Mr. and Mrs. Philip Sickman, Mrs. Agnes Burkett and Marion Burkett returned Wednesday from an extended trip through the west. They left here Aug. 28 and visited fifteen states during their travels. While in Stevens county, Washington, Mr. Sickman visited the Silver Queen mine and secured some fine specimens of ore. They enjoyed the trip very much and returned much improved in health.

Rural free delivery has made a considerable difference in the a- mount of memorizing that postal clerks on Indiana routes have to do. Five years ago there were 2202 postoffices in Indiana whose names they had to remember and now there are only I The reduction of over five hundred offices is due to rural free delivery. This reduction has been going on all over the country. It means that the extention of rural free delivery has donerway with a large number of small country postoffices that were maintained for the eonveni- encc of particular neighborhoods which are now served by carriers. The postal eleiks have more mail to handle every year, but they do not have to throw to as many different offices os they did formerly.

HeartWeakness.

Dr. Miles'* Heart Cure has made many hearts well after they have been pronounced hopeless. It has completely cured thousands, and will almost invariably cure or benefit every case of heart disease.

Short breath, pain around heart, palpitation, fluttering-, dizzy, fainting1 and smothering spells should not be neglected. Take Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure and see how quick you will be relieved.

It cannot make a new heart, but will restore a sick one by strengthening the heart nerves and muscles, relieving ihe unnatural strain, and restoring its vitality.

them how to get one. But the main object of the circular is to educate the people to their way of thinking. and devote much space to answering what they term the i;Hug-a-boo of buying at home.” Their logic is ingenious and to the superficial will carry conviction. Here is a specimen of tbeir all convincing arguments. “Now, there is no argument like the dollar in the pocket. We siive our customers money— 20. 80, and even oO per cent on everything they buy of 118.”

This is an unsupported statement, and must be taken for what it is worth, which is not very much. The fact is, there is not a merchant in Marshall county that receives such a profit on the goods he sells. If they did then our merchants would pay more for their goods at wholesale than Montgomery Ward & Co. sell their goods at retail, or in other words, the wholesale dealers of whom our merchants buy would price the same goods higher at wholesale than Montgomery Ward it Co. do at retail. Our merchants are always on the watch for bargains, and the result would bo that every retail merchant would desert his wholesale house and buy the same goods at retail of Montgomery Ward Sc Co. because he could get them cheaper. Have patience with us anti we will present the same proposition in another light.

Our merchant sells calico at 6 cents a yard, Montgomery Ward and Co., according to their proposition, will sell the same calico for 4 cents, which would save the farmer 33f, per cent. Our merchants pays his wholesale dealer no less than 5 cents a yard for this calico that Montgomery Ward A i r Co. offers to sell at -1 cents. Our merchants are but human, and in a short time they would be buying their calico at Montgomery Ward & Co. because they could get it cheaper and this great firm would supply the wholsale as well as tlie retail trade, they would, like

when he has no just cause for complaint. IIow can the farmer know that the same goods can be bought here at home for the same price. The mail order houses are forcibly impressing upon the minds of tho people, year after year, the prices and arguments in favor of their business, and by this system of constant and presistent advertising keep their names anti their business in the minds of people at all times, while tho home merchant; timidly stands by and lets this money tbat is sent away slip through his fingers like dry sand, apparently afraid to compare prices or make a bid for this trade that rightfully belongs to him. While the merchant, who says that it don’t pay advertise or that people don't read advertismeuts is making a personal appeal to the individual, the mail order houses are. tlirouh the press and circulars, pleading with thousands, and this unequal fight is telling its own story in a constant growing trade for the firm that is not afraid to take the people into their confidence through the press.

20 to 50 per cent cheaper than a competitor or cheaper than a competitor can buy it is juggling with the English language and has little respect for truth. Only the innocent and simple minded will be caught. That many of our people are being caught is evidenced by the thousands of dollars gathered by our rural mail carriers each year, and sent to the city in payment for goods that ought to have been bought here in Culver.

After taking Electric Bitters, she was perfectly cured, and can now perform all her household duties.'1 Guaranteed by T. E. Slattery, druggist, price 50c.

In d ia n a ’s C o rn C ro p .The government crop report

places the condition of Indiana, corn at 09 per cent. Indianapolis grain dealers estimate it at 100 per cent ‘"or better.’’ They do not talk in decimals, but they use superlatives. “How about Indiana corn ?■’ said W. H. Cooper. ‘ Well, there’s this about it that is certain. You or I or our fathers never saw anything like it< judging from samples that are coming in. The ears are as long as one’s arm and perfectly filled.’’

E. W. Bassett says if the government report shows any error jt is in placing the condition too low. “Indiana not only has the largest corn crop in her history, but it is the best quality ever grown. This state and the whole country will have the largest corn crop ever known. My estimate of the crop is 2,750,000.000 bushels or about

j 150,000,000 bushels larger than ; the previous crop. Tlie quality ; of tho Indiana crop is such that almost every ear will be of good marketable grade. Indianapolis has received no ear corn yet, but shippers have it and are only holding it back because local dealers advise them to do so. It will, in all probability, be two weeks before there are any large’receipts here, although corn hasLeen’move- ing from some points in the state since the last of September. As to the future market-, it appears that Providence has been more than kind to the American farmer. The European crop is short and the demand for its export is better than at this time in years.

“We have had orders for Liverpool for delivery in June and July of next year that- we have turned down this week, our figures being only one cent a bushel over the offers. When England is trying to buy corn for delivery eight or ten months hence it is practically! assured that her wants will take care of our immense crop at g<x>d prices. Grain dealers are now offering as high as 30 cents for corn to be delivered later and it is probable that the crop will all be moved in the thirties, while, should conditions be unfavorable for ex- i port, 25_cent corn would be com- j

mon before the crop is marketed.“London is also in the market

for’oats'and’taking large quantities at present. It. is probable that at least 70 per cent, of the crop in Tn- j diana, Ohio, Michigan and the| states farther east have been mar- j

kotcd,‘as there was an enormousI movement during July and Aug- > ust. Of the states farther west, j

most oLthem have a much larger proportion still in farmers’ hands,! The oats crop this year was light j

in some states where the crop is j

usually large, but in the ;‘off states’’ j

the crop was almost uniformilv' large/’

Tlie most material departure, by the government October report from the indicated yields of grain in the September figures is a gain of 39,000,000 bushels in the oats crop over the yield suggested last month. The average yield of that cereal was put at 3S-.9 bushels to tho acre, which figures out a crop of 939.050.000 bushels, or 44,000, 000 bushels larger than the olficial estimate of last year.

There is a record crop of corn the yield of liX)2 being exceeded by 117,000,000 bushels, there being an estimated crop of 2,040,000,000 bushels. There is no guessing on the yield of small grains, it. being given in bushels, with the yield per acre given. The aggregate yield of all grains is the greatest on record—4,424,072,(XX) bushels, or 73,935,000 bushels more than in 11)02 and 345,000,000 bushels in excess of last year. The corn crop in the seven surplus states indicate a yield of 28(5,000,000 bushels , more than in 1904, tho three Northwestern states have 32,000-,000 bushels in excess of last year, the spring wheat crop is 39,000.000 bushels greater, and the total wheat yield is increased 131,000000 bushels. The yield of oats is the second largest on record.

“Twins is a baby, only it’s double. .It usually arrives about 4:3? in the morning, when a fellow is get tin.’ in his best licks slccpin’. Twins is accompanied by excitement and a. doctor. When twins do cimything wrong their mother can’t tell which one to li<;k, so she gives it to both of ’em so as to make sure.
