BRUTAL MURDER
AT DOUGLAS

ment, a knife wound leading from
the bridge t>f tUe nose to the brain
and 'he throat badly cut.
After notifying Coroner Hensou
of the crime, th« officers began in
vtstigatioins for possible .clues to
*he murder. Behind the dresser
was found a brand new machinist's
hammer, covered with blood fro111
one end to the other and a towel
unou which the, cold blooded fiend
hid wiped hia hands." The knife
evidently used on tlje nose and
throat has not bee® Xotuid. The
evidence of the room showed k but
l='tie confuson, and the murdeTer
evidently struck his victim with
the hammer, after which] he used
'no knife. A wash psui, half full
of bloody water and the tojv.el used,
'"uruishe conclusive proof that the
foul deed wag fiendishly; planned.
At the coroner's inques', Fan
nie Miller stated that the murdered
womaa had no enemies that she
knew of, though1 she knew her but
6lightly, having come here from An
chorage about three montha ago,
where she was known as Jennie
Kline. ' I
Jjoc'or Sargent, wjio was jmiue-1
diately called on the case, stated
i>ef.;rc the jury that death resulted
£;om >be blunt instrument used,
•hat while the throat was badly cut, I
• he juggler veins were not severed
and lit'le blood, had come from the
•Ii.oat, On the right side of the
fem;p]p the skull was crushed as
•hough the heavy part of'the ham
mer had been used, while on the
left s'de a smaller wound was made
as though the hammer had been re
versed. The knife wound, on the
nose the doctor stated, bad pierced
'he brain, and would alone have
resulted in death. Several wounds
from the hammer were also made od(
ti»e breast. While 'life bad' been
extiuc for some time upon the doc
tor's arrival, the blood was "still
warm and uncongealed near the
body wrapped with the blankets
and it is the opinion of the doctors
as well a3 the officers that the
crimc was committed some time
during the early hours o£ yester
uav morning.
While the purses found in the
room were'empty and a motive of
robbgry could be easily ascribed,
the officers have other valuable
c'ues which] they would not disclose
hopiug thereby to fasten the 'guilt
upon the murderer, they are of
J 'he opinion that the woman possibly
had'a visitor who bad an old grudge
to settle ajid that the hammer'was
bousn* purposely for motives of
revenge and murder. The Tread
well Company and other hardware
departments wer§ phoned the de
scription of the hammer upon which
there is a number, and there is a
chsiice of tracing the murderer
through the sale of it.

PLEA FOR A HALF NICKEL I
It Would Bo Handy In Making Change
and Might Reduce Price*.
The bam sandwich, which was once
5 cents, now frequently costs a dime.
The same disturbing truth applies to
other things in common life, both in
side and outside of lunch rooms. There
is no need of statistics from economists
to Inform us that the cost of living
has advanced. Every spender of mon
ey knows it. Retailers are more re
luctant to put prices up than is gen
erally realized. They know that con
sumption decreases as prices advance.
That means less business, and profits
depend partly on large business. When
more than the traffic will bear is
charged the traffic falls off.
Change making is one of the items
in up to date retailing. It must be
done quickly if expenses are to be kept
down. The young woman at the lunch
room desk has not time to count pen
nies. She must deal in nickels, dimes
and quarters If she is to maintain her
astonishing speed and accuracy.
We need another coin. Three cent
pieces were confused with dimes and
were hard to use because they were
not fractions of other currency. No
one but a statistician thinks In deci
mals. The rest of us do our sums in
fractions. Four three-cent pieces make
12 cents, but there is no such coin.
Eight of the® make 24 cents, but the
coin almost corresponding is worth 1
cent more. If three cent pieces were
again issued they would not till the

With a half nickel It would be dif

every coin from the mint Were there
such a coin 5 cent raises would not
have been so common. If there should
be such a coin many prices would
come down.—Boston Globe.
SAVING.THE RUG.
Tale of a Bottle of Ink, a Quick Witted
Friend and Some Salt.
While stopping nt a new and eipen
sively furnished hotel a guest spilled
a bottle of Ink on a costly velvet rug.
light blue and pink in color. A friend
who was calling ou her at the time
quieted her fears by assuring her that
6he would fix it so that not the slight
est stain would be left.
First she had a quart of tine table
salt sent up at ouce. Sifting the salt
through her lingers, she covered the
ink spot entirely. To all appearances
there wus nothing but a pile of Qne
table salt on the rug.
Over this she placed a heavy chair,
cautioning the guest not to disturb It
nor to allow the maid to do so. After
promising to return the nest afternoon
to finish the Job she went cheerfully
about her own affairs.
True to her word, she made her ap
pearance the following afternoon and,
calling foi a dustpan and whisk broom,
removed the salt. There was not the
slightest stain of ink on the rug. The
salt, having carefully sifted on the
spot, had slipped into the pile and ab
sorbed all the Ink. Of course the salt,
except a thin layer ou the outside of
the pile, was as black as ink could
make It.
This method of preventing Ink stains
is as effective as it is simple. The se
cret of success lies in acting promptly,
having fine salt, sifting it on the spot
so slowly aud gently that it slips into
the goods and allowing it to remain
undisturbed until it Is bone dry. Then
it may be safely removed with a whisk
broom aud dustpan.—New York Sun.
The Seismograph.
Though the man in the street might
easily mistake a seismic disturbance
for the rumbling of a traction engine
or an explosion, the niarvelously deli
cate Instruments which record earth
quake shocks are immune from such
delusions. The recording pen of the
seismometer Ignores any local trem
blings which have not a seismic origin,
but the faintest Veal earth quaklngs,
though they have traveled thousands
of miles through the earth, set the
pen tracing the telltale graph by means
of which the seismologist calculates
the place, time and magnitude of the
happening—London Chronicle.
Our First Tariff.
The first tariff act in our country
was signed by President Washington
on July 4, 17S9. near the very begin
ning of his first administration. Ham
ilton was the author of the measure,
which provided for specific duty on
some forty-seven articles and ad vn
lorem rates on other groups of arti
cles. The second tariff act was ap
proved by the president in August
1790.—New York American.
An Old Superstition.
It was a common superstition in an
cient Italy that if a woman were found
spinning on a highroad the crops
would be ruined for that year. In
most sections of Italy a woman was
forbidden by law thus to spin or even
to carry an uncovered spindle on the
highway.
