The young- 4 Stillwell is administrator of Win estate az:d adheres to his origi- igal theory of burglary as a motive for.the murder. os J. Stillwell was a wealthy n of Hapnibal, about 60 years ‘age, living in au elegant residence Fifth street with a handsome young wife. Early one Sunday morning so:ne unknown person en- tered the house from an alley in the rear and going to Mr. Stillwell’s bed where he lay asleep, split his head open with an ax. Mrs. Stillwell oc- eupied a bed with one of the smaller i children in the fate room. She arose and dressed herself and gave the alarm. She said she was awak- ened by a slight noise in the room and looking toward her husband's bed saw a man standing over him with an uplifted ax and saw the fa- tal blow struck. The ax was after- wards found on the premises and it proved to be one which belonged to the house. Because of Mr. Stillwell’s wealth and high standing in the community the crime attracted wide attention and was the theme of conversation for mouths. ‘The son, R. H. Still- weil, offered $1,000 for japprehen- sion of his father’s murderer, but the reward was withdrawn not long afterwards. Within about ten steps of the rear ofthe Stillwell house was the office of Dr. J. C. Hearne, a widower and ‘physician in the Stillwell family. A little less thin a year af- ter the horrible death of of Amos Stillwell Dr. Hearne married his wid- ow. Hannibal people,who have sen sensitive feelings, showed illeonceal- ed indignation at this apparent lack for the memory of their beloved fel- low citizen. This action of the son in offering $10,000 out of an estate valued at $300,000 for the conviction of the will to some extent, appeade the un- expressed public clamor for a thorough investigation of the mys- tay. * The Borrowmg Neighbor. ME, Sangster, in Harper’s Young Folks. Mother has often told me of a funny time she had when she was quite a young housekeeper, afflict- ed with a borrowing neighbor. This lady seldom had anything of her own at hand when it was, wanted. so she depended upon the obliging dispo- sition of her fréuds. One day my iwother put on her lange housekeeping apron and step- sped across the yard to her outdoor kitehen. The kitchens in Kentucky were never a part of the house, but always at a little distance from it, in a separate building. “Aunt Phyllis,” said my mother to the cook, who was browning coffee grains in a skillet over the fire, “I thought I told you that Iwas com- ing out to make pound-cake and cream pies this morning. Why is nothing ready?” “La me, Miss Emeline!” replied Aunt Phyllis. “Miss "Tilda Jenkins done carried off every pie pan and rolling pin and pastry board and borrowed all de eggs and cream fo’ herself. Her bakin’ isn’t mo’n be- gun.” This was a bigh handed proceed- ing, but nothing could be done in the case. It was Mrs. Jenkins’ hab- it, and mother had always been 80 amiable about it, that the servants, who were easy-going, never troubled themselves to ask the mistress, but lent the inconvenient borrower just what she desired. Sometimes just as we were going to church, I was too little at that time to remember, mother said that a small black boy with very white teeth and a very woolly head, would pop up at her chamber door, exclaim- “Howdy, Miss Emmeline. Miss | ‘Tilda done sent me to borrow yo | prayer book.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 26.—The na- tional farmers congress met at Coun- cil Bluffs to-day with delegates pres- ent from Alabama, North Dakota, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mis- souri, Michigan, Montana, New Jer- sey, New Mezico, Nebraska, Indiana, Pennsylvania, South Caroliua, Ten- nessee, Wyoming and Wisconsin. President R. S. Kalb of Alabama presided. The Rev. Dr. C. W. Blodgett of Des Moines opened the proceedings with prayer. Governor Boles then made a short address, followed by John Scott of Nevada, Ia., who made the formal speech of welcome. May-| | or Macrae of Council Bluffs also said a few words. In his addvess President Kalb ree viewed the condition of the farmers. He spoke of the decrease of agrteul- tural wealth and said: “This de- crease is all the more shocking be- cause the aggregate wealth of the country has immensely increased.” He followed the history of the past forty years and blamed the protec- tive tariff as being responsible for the farmers present condition. Re- ferring to Farmers’ alliance he call- ed it a grand body organized to free agriculture from its thrall. It Removes Pimples and Blotches. I take pleasure in recommending Spift’s Specific (S. S.
