She then attempted the life of her eldest son. aged 11, who had just come Into tho house, hut the boy broke away from her and took a train for his home In Salinas. She then strangled her son, Harold, aged 6, and then went out of the house and got an ax with which she struck him a blow on the head. Later In the evening she killed her 7, months-olbaby. Maria, by strangling. The murder of her children was related by Mrs. Iverson to Sheriff W. J. Nesbitt. She added that during the night she had walked about the house, lying down for a short time on the floor. She said she realized now that she had done wrong, but believed she was doing right at the time she committed the deed. Early in the morning Mr. Iverson hlmBelf drove to Pacific Grove. He knocked at tho front door of tho cottage where his wife and family had been living and was told to go around to the back door. He did so, and entering the house was about to kiss his wife when she said: Dont touch me Dont put your hands on me. Go and look at your children.

Mrs. Iverson had been ill for several months and had shown signs of mental derangement, her mania being of a religious nature. d Railroads to Adopt Electric Motor Power. The New York Central railroad is planning to establish electric roads as suburban branches In the central and western parts of New York state, in order 4o save local traffic, which has been cut Into heavily by the Independent trolley competition, by reducing fares and increasing the number of trains. A section of the Rome, Water-tow- n & Ogdensburg railroad, which Is leased to the New York Central, Is to be equipped with electricity. It Is claimed, and New York Central trolley cars can be run to and from all points along the southern shore of Lake Ontario. This project will possibly also absorb the Rochester & Suburban electric lines. Think the Dominion Has Been Sacrificed. The engrossed copy of the Alaskan award has been The signed. Canadian Messrs. commissioners, Aylesworth and Jette, declined to sign tho award, but will submit their contrary opinions to the tribunal, so as to go officially on record. While they declined to sign tho award they signed the maps agreed on by the majority. The award relating to the Portland canal gives the United States two and Sitklan, Kannaughunut commanding the entrance of the Portland channel and the ocean passage to Port Simpson and destroying the strategic value of Wales and Pearse Islands, which are given to Canada. The mountain line adopted as the boundary lies so far from the coast as to give the United States substantially all the territory In dispute. The line completely clears all the bays and Inlets and means of access to the sea, giving the United States a complete land barrier between Canada and the sea, from the Portland canal to Mount St. Ellas. Around the head of the Lynn canal the line follows the watershed, somewhat In accordance with the provisional boundary. The Canadians feel very sore over the outcome. They almost openly accuse Lord Alverstone of partisanship. When the latter presented them to King Edward at Buckingham palace, the king endeavored vainly to Induce Messrs. Jett and Aylesworth to say they were satisfied or that they accepted the situation, but the two Canadians declined to In any way express acquiescence with this view. They simply shook hands formally and bowed. One of the Canadian commissioners afterwards said to a representative of the Associated Press: This award affects more the relations between the Dominion and the mother country than people here seem to realize and almost marks the parting of the ways; at lease so far as leaving any such question for England to decide for us. s, FOR JAPAN. BOATS BOUND Russia Provoked at the United States for Treaty Opening of Mukden, Four Russian torpedo boats, bound for Port Arthur, have put Into Brest for coal. A cabinet minister says that Japan, agreeing with Marquis Ito, while stipulating the Integrity of Korean and .Chinese sovereignty, makes no point of the military evacuation of Manchuria, thus simplifying the negotiations. The bellicose rumors continue, but the reports ot Russian aggression In Korea are proving to have been exaggerated. The Russians are very Indignant with the United States government for concluding a treaty for opening Mukden to the commerce of the world. It Is asserted that the St. Petersburg government will protest, and maintain that the opening of this nbw treaty port will never take place. The Port Arthur Russian newspaper, Novoe Krai, declares that the treaty la proof of the aggressive nature ot the policy of the United States. In the event of war with a third power arising from the new treaty It will be conducted by Russian and ChiShould China na In Russia will withdraw her carry on the war alone, and In the event of victory China will cede Manchuria to Russia and Immediately withdraw her civil and military officials.

The Amalgamated officials are reticent as to expressing an opinion as to the probable length of the suspension, saying it may be of six or eight months duration, and perhaps a greater period. As yet no acts of violence have been reported to the police, though It Is feared some difficulty will be experienced In holding the big army of Idle miners In check any length of time. Tonight the principal streets are blocked with miners, and Indignant mutterings can be heard on all sides. Extra police have been sworn in, with orders to prevent the gathering of large crowds.

The theft was not known until the engine was seen leaving Beloit the throttle wide open and the men aboard yelling defiance to the railroad men, who had discovered that the engine had been stolen just too late to turn a switch and stop the runaway. As soon as the Janesville offices of the railroad company were notified the train dispatchers stopped every train between Janesville and Caledonia, Ills.

Bordeaux mixture is of very great Importance to the orchardist, and the matter of its compounding has been In these colfrequently discussed umns. Prof. J. T. Stinson, writing on this subject, says: This preparation is now made either as a liquid mixture or as a dry powder or dust Bordeaux mixture (the liquid) has for years been the standard and most efficient fungicide for ' general work that has ever come into use. It has also been the subject of much discussion at the several experiment stations as to what is the proper strength to use to obtain the best results, and as to Its effect on the fruit and foliage. So far as the amount of material to use is concerned, it is quite probable that the quality (especially of lime) and the proportions of the materials is of much more importance than the amounL Four pounds of lime Is considered sufficient to neutralize six pounds of blue stone; but it does not seem necessary to utilize six pounds of this substance. As good results have been obtained from the use of four pounds as from using six. In fact the 4 formula seems to give, if posible, even better results than the on account of the liability to Injury from the use of the strong mixture. Four pounds of good lime furnishes sufficient excess over what is actually needed to neutralize the four pounds of blue stone to insure against injury in all ordinary cases, and the use of any more would seem unnecessary, even were it only for the sake of being on the safe side. The object of the lime is to neutralize the blue stone, to hold it on the plant and to prevent the too rapid solution of the copper by atmospheric agencies. Accordingly the formula given is probably the most satisfactory for this section of the country. It Is one that is In general use throughout the central west and is recommended by the experiment stations in Oljlo, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and other western 6-- states: Good stone lime (must not be air slacked) Copper sulphate (blue stone) 4 pounds 4 pounds 50 gallons aer Directions for Making Slack the four pounds of lime in one barrel or tank, using just enough water to prevent burning, then dilute to twenty-fiv- e gallons. Dissolve the four pounds of blue stone in another barrel or tank, using twenty-fiv- e gallons of water. Pour the two solutions Into a third tank or barrel by having two men, one to dip from each and pour together at the same time through a sieve or coarse gunny sack into the third tank, keeping the contents of all the receptables well stirred during the making. Do not pour one solution into the other, for a much better mixture will be obtained if the above directions are followed. The reason for urging that the mixture be made In this way are as follows: The particles of copper, which Is the active principle of the mixture, are In a much more finely divided condition, and for this reason the Bame amount of copper is distributed more evenly over a greater surface, thus making it more efflcienL The mixture does not settle nearly so rapidly because of . the small size of the flakes of the The violent and more incomplete chemical action that takes place when the lime and blue stone are put together In concentrated condition Is avoided, and a mixture is obtained that is much less likely to do Injury, cop-per- Why Insects Abound Now. Prof. F. M. Webster: There are three prime reasons which have made spraying not only necessary, but In many cases absolutely Imperative, If success is to be secured. These are (1) the destruction of the food plants of many of our now destructive native Insects, and the replacing of these In large areas with plants of similar nature; (2) the weakening of our trees, plants and vines by hybridization, cultivation, grafting and budding, and (3) by the importation of varieties quite similar to those Indigenous to our country, but more susceptible to attack from our native insect pests and plant diseases. The clearing up of the native forests where native fruits were produced, and the destruction by similar methods of many of the food plants of Insects, has driven these to the cultivated vegetation, because these insects had no where else to go, and it was a case of either adapting themselves to s slight change of food or perish. leaf-eatin- g Eagle and Cows Battle. A dispatch from Somerville, N. J, to the Drovers Journal says: A large gray eagle, the first seen in this vicinity in many years, created consternation among a herd of cattle on the farm of Charles Covert, near Mount Bethel. The eagle flew from the mountains to the lowlands where the cattle were grazing. It took shelter In a tree, and waiting an opportunity swooped down on & calf of the herd. The mother of the calf and several cows surrounded the eagle and forced it from its prey. The eagle attacked the cows and its onslaught was so furious that the animals were stampeded, but they rallied again and circled frantically around the calf, thrusting at the eagle vlclo"sly with their horns each time It reue Its attack on the smaller animal. The eagle resorted . to strategy measures, by driving the cows, one by one, across the field. At this Juncture Covert, who had been attracted by the disturbance among the rattle, appeared on the Beene with a gun. The eagle alighted on a rail fence to await developments and a minute later fell to the ground shot through the head. It !g one of the largest specimens ever seen here and Covert will have It preserved. Four of Coverts cattle bad strips of hide torn from their bodies by the eagle. The best manners are stained by the aduition of pride. Claud. - |
