It the world would make up its mind to follow Thomas A Edison’s advice and keep its mind through all the summer season’s to come, the monument raised to the Wizard’s memory would bear minor mention of electrical invention feats. In orief, Mr. Edison’s advice is to cut out the fashionable places, get next to nature, and take a rest. There is an utter folly in most of our outing procedures. There is precious little of the outing about any of the doings of the man or woman who gets the regulation two weeks, or, if for- tune is at high mark,three weeks to do with as the spirit mcves. The spirit moves nine tenths of us to a summer hotel, with its crowds and its other things that are not of the country but of the city, Itis the very weariness of life. Three or four is company— stretch the number to six if you will—but any more is a vacation crowd> The place to go has a field, woods, water and solitude except for the wild ones who have a prior right. There is rest for the weary. Fish and chop wood if you will. This isn’t work, it’s recreation. The wind and sun will put you in trim, and keep you in trim, and a little rain will help out. The office man and the office womanl,who get ‘nerves” can get rid of them where the fields are free, and nowhere else, The best sanitarium has no walls about it unless they be tent walls—and they should always be kept up unless a northeaster or a southwester drives. Itis just as easy to get to a wild spot as it is to get to a society resort. The railroads lead to many places, and the unmarked trails lead the restof the way. Fresh air is said to cure consumption. It cures “‘nerves” just as surely. And the sufferer will tell you that between nerves and con. sumption the choice is a toss-up. Bemidji offers all that isde- sired in the matter of getting “next to nature’”’ and enjoying the wild life during the summer months—vacation time. Senator La Follette has gone bear hunting in Colorado. De- nials that he has presidential ambition will now be futile, The trouble with making a mistake is that the man who said you were making one is on hand when the returns come in. A girl doesn’t usually take much interest in foreign mission- ary work so long as she is fairly successful in leading young men into her church. Kaiser Wilhelm, having sent to_prison for nine months, the man who stuck his tongue out at him, can now turn his attention to the unruly members of the reichstag. Some crabbed peogls seem tc vhink a gocd-zatured person is friquently imposed upon. Bum even if they are, the cheerfa ones continue to et more haj - piness out of life than tha oth ers. .

Root, formerly a Minnearolis board of trade operator, when arrested here accused of a score or more of forgeries in different parts of the city, confessed to his operations and said he had be come a crook in the hope that he might recoup a fortune of $60,000 lost on the board of trade. Mrs. Glenn Root, his wife, also was arrested and charged’ with having as- sisted her husband in seeking to dis: pose of goods stolen. KILL ME ANV TIME So Says Nonchalant Alleged Murderer to Officers. COLD BLOODED CONFESSION. Charles H. Rogers Tells How For $16 He Killed the Olney Brothers and Alice Ingerick of Middletown, N. Y. Conscience Untroubled. “Take me out and kill me any time you please,” said Charles H. Rogers, alleged murderer of the Olney broth- ers and Alice Ingerick of Middletown, N. Y., when he was locked™up In the Goshen jail. Rogers was captured in Los Angeles after a chase lasting a year. On his way across the country he made to his custodians a confession which chilled their blood. o ¢ lmd been planning this act for a month,” said Rogers to his captors, “T thought the Olney brothers had a good deal of money in Dbills about their cloth- Ing and concealed in the house. 1 ‘wanted to go west and get away from here. At first I thought night was the best time to do it. Then I caleulated it was best to do it in daylight, for the farm is a lonely enough place. “On the day of the murders I'left home. I told my wife and children they would never see me again, 1 took with me a piece of iron pipe wrapped in av copy of the Middletown Times- Press. I had a revolver. I went cross lots to avoid passing by the home of my parents. From a hill I saw Fred Olney drive into the ward. He had “WHEN WILLIS CAME INTO SIGHT I SHOT HIM T00.” been to the Ogden farm to deliver his milk. I thought of course he had been paid in cash for that and that it would be so much more money for me. “I walked down to the place and told Olney I was a detective and need- ed his help and that of his brother in capturing a man who had hidden in the ; Derby woods. He called Willis Olney, and we three went in their milk wagon to the edge of the woods. Fred Olney and I went into the woods together, leaving Willis with the team. After going in some distance I shot Fred Ol- ney in the.back. He fell dead. “Willis heard the shot and came smashing through the bushes .to see what was the matter. When Willls came into sight I shot him too. I searched their pockets. I took a pock- etbook from Fred Olney. There was very little money in it. It contained only a check for the milk he had deliv- ered at Ogden’s that day and some pa- pers. I took Fred's watch and Willis’. “I took the money, hid the papers that were In the wallet In a chink In the stone wall, near which the horse had been left. I left the horse stand there. Then I walked to Olney’s house and met Mrs. Ingerick. I told her that one of the Olneys had been kicked by the horse and was hurt. She went to the barn to get somgthing for him. I followeds— A§ she WOt info the cow stable I struck her on the head with the plece of gas pipe. She fell down, and I beat her over the head many times with the pipe. I thought she was dead when I left her. IMirst I covered her body with straw, and then I went up to the house. There I met Alice Ingerick, nine years old, Mrs. Ingerick's daughter. I told her to go down in the cellar and close the door. As-she started down the cellar stairs I hit her on the head with the gas pipe. She fell downstairs. I fol- lowed her and pounded her ovér the head until I felt sure she was dead. “Thinking they were now all dead,” Rogers continued, “I went up and searched the house for the money. I didn’t find any. All 1 had for these four lives I thought I had taken was $16 and two watches. Maybe there ‘was more money hidden there, but I ‘was scaved off from looking for more. Mr, Conklin, a farmer from Wurtsboro, and his son drove up. They were out buying onions. They shouted ‘Onion? I was in the attic at that time. I kept still, and the Conklins, thinking no- body was at home, went on. I looked out and saw them in the road going away. I didn't want to stay longer. I went over the hills to the hogback.” The hogback is a part of the Erie railroad between Middletown and How- ells, There Rogers boarded a traln for Otisville, He stayed there that night. Next morning he threw away the revolver in a stream and took a train for Port Jervis. cle took one of the silver witches to a saloon In Port Jervis and asked the man behind the bar to buy it. Rogers thought it ought to fetch $ The saloon keeper gave him $4 and then told him to get out, for he believed Rogers had stolen it. Fearing te dispose of the other watch, Rogers bought a ticket for Hunting- ton, Ind, which as far as his cash would take him. There he found a job as farm labor- er and stayed for some time. He came across a Chicago matrimonial adver- tising journal in thisgplace. In it was a notice that a well to do widow was willing to take most anybody for a husband. Regers answered it and played “come on” to the swindlers be- hind the advertisement. e had saved a little money to carry him farther west. He went to Chicago to meet the widow. “How about that widow ?” asked Hock in drawing out the pris- oner's story. “Say,” grinned Rogers, “if you had Seen her.

There his conscience never trou- bled him. “I forgot all about what had hap- pened back home,” he told the officers. “I never thought about it.” CAUGHT “LITTLE DOROTHY.” Chicago Police Followed Her Mamma’s Instructions. Not in vain did Mrs. Fred Levi of Columbus, O., appeal to the police of Chicago, and if the distracted mother did not accomplish what she thought she would certainly it was not the fault of the detectives who responded to her call. Her appeal came in the following message, received in police headquarters: Police—Please intercept my little daugh- ter Dorothy, who has gone to Chicago to get married. She Is pretty, with lots of red hair. In response to the message three de- tectives were hurried to meet an in- coming train from Columbus, and the sleuths, mindful of the agony which the mother must be suffering, deter- mined to let no little red haired girl slip past them. They eyed suspicious- ly every passenger on the traln, but when the last one had alighted no lit- tle Dorothy had appeared. The detectlves were about to leave the station when they saw a tall, hand- | Somely gowned woman sitting on one Daniels Stock Company, City Opera.

Her mother is near- ly dead with grief because she left home.” The woman jumped up from her seat evidently surprised. “Why, I am Dorothy Levi of Colum- bus,” she said.— “Then you’ll oblige us by coming to headquarters,” said the detective. “We ‘want you.” “How dare you ask me to go with you?” the woman saild Indignantly. ““MAMMA MUST BE HAVING A BRAIN STORM.” “By what authority do you tell me where to go? I am old enough to take care of myself, and I have not com- mitted any crime.” The detective showed the woman her mother’s telegram, and she went to headquarters. . “Mamma must be having a brain storm,” she said to the sergeant. “I | am twenty-cight years old, and I am on my way to Colorado Springs for my health. I would not marry the best man living,” Miss Levi made affidavit to her age, and the sergeant told her she could go where she pleased. “We thought we were helping a poor mother whose child had run away,” he said apologetically., “I would suggest | that you wire your mother that here- after when she wants the police to look for her ‘little Dorothy’ she mention that Dorothy is unusually tall for her age.” Miss Levl took the mext traln for Colorado Springs, 19086, Ayer's Sarsapasilla hagbeen * Since May, entirely free from aicohol.
