Chicago, 111., Oct. 28.?Through the bars of the cell where he had been placed only two hours earlier on a warrant sworn out by her, charging t abandonment, Mrs. Esther Levy today fatally shot her husband, Abraham, Levy, a tailor. Mrs. Levy visited the cell room of . the police station, wnere ner nusDana was confined, and before the startled lock-up keeper had a chance to interfere, shot through the bars at Levy, inflicting a fatal wound. * In the building at the time were a score or more of policemen. Mrs. Levy had no difficulty in obtaining permission to visit her husband. She stood in the corridor of the cage, ' talking in a low voice to the prisoner, who remained locked in his cell.

"The most merciless enemy I had for 20 years," declares Mrs. James Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., "was dyspepsia. I suffered intensely after eating or drinking and could scarcely sleep.

The case of th( State against Lizzie Anderson, charged with the killing of her son, comes up for trial to-day. One Actress's Experience. Surely the actor may be forgiver his frantic desire to appear on Broadway?after an experience like thai of the actress who tells her story ir the Woman's Home Companion foi November.' It must have been a deei devotion to art which could survivt an experience like this. The most amazing was my discovery that the ancient ban againsl the players, which existed in Rome and persisted with the Puritans, is still in force in certain places in "enlightened America." A New England hotel-man told me that "many a player's pretty flat in New York is furnished with towels marked 'Hotel Majestic,' and spoons stamped 'Hotel Newman.' " I'm afraid there's a grain of truth in what he says. Bu1 I've seen ash trays and such things in some college rooms that wouldn'1 bear too close inspection. I've nevei heard, however, that college men were refused admittance to every hotel in town, as "undesirable citizens." Yet that actually happened tc me in a certain town in Ohio. When I reached the town in question?it bears the same name as the seat of a famous university?I was ill. I climbed into a carriage at the station with my maid, and told the driver to take us to the better of the two hotels the town boasted. "It's no use, miss," he said, "They won't neither of 'em take you." I was dumbfounded, and persisted in my request. The driver,- however, was right. Not only would neither hotel take me, though 1 fancy I didn't look disreputable even if I did look ill, but neither would so much as give me supper. They could not cater to "show-people," the proprietors said.: I then told the driver to go along the streets, stopping wherever there was a sign of boarding house.' After a while, the driver informed me bruskly that he'd "got to feed his hosses an' get back to the depot," so my maid and I were dumped out into the cold, dark, muddy streets, with two heavy hand-bags, in a strange town. l'onng Girls are Victims of headache, as well as older women, but all get quick relief and prompt cure from Dr. King's New Life Pills, the world's best remedy for sick and nervous headches.

Riser, 1908, graduated at Clemson College, who died at Great Falls yesterday from the effects of injuries sustained by coming in contact with a live wire in the transformers house of the Southern Power Company, passed through Chester this morning en route to Whitmire for burial, accompanied by the father of the deceased, G. C. Riser and several friends. The young man who lingered for several hours bore his suffering heroically and until the end came showed himself anxious that his mother be not informed of his terrible injuries, as he feared the shock would be too great for her. Suing Company for One Cent. Greenville, Oct. 27.?A suit has been brought against the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company for the sum of one cent, alleging damages to that extent to haVe i been sustained by the plaintiff, Mr. Lewis Dorroh. The plaintiff is represented by B. M. Shuman. In the statement of the case the plaintiff states that he is a subscriber to the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company, and that he tried to get connection with the Sans Souci Country club. Furthermore, that the defendant did refuse to give such connection. The statement of the case says further, "the willful, reckless and malicious refusal of the defendant, agents and servants to connect him with the said Sans Souci club as requested damaged the plaintiff in the sum of one cent, as he is informed and believes, wherefore the plaintiff demands judgment against the de' fendant in the sum of one cent and [ the costs of this action."

Some interesting figures in rega to accidents in cotton mills are giv by a writer in the Textile Manufa turers Journal. The plants whose re ' ords he took were twelve in numb( and with the exception of one in N< Hampshire were South of Mason ai Dixon's line. Of the total number of accider only 42.3 per cent, were the result machinery. The larger percenta happened on Wednesday, and wi the exception of Saturday the p< centage of the other days of the we< is generally uniform. Satnrdav shows a low r>ercenta? ! due to two reasons?first, less wor ing hours that day and in genei ; less machinery in operation, thus 1 ducing the chance of injury. A large percentage of the accider occurred during the forenoon hou . from 8 to 12, while the lowest p( centages are shown in the starti: : and stopping hours, 6 to 7 p. m. 1 ; 2 and 5 to 6 p. m. | The larger number of accidents c ; curred in May, June, July and A gust and the smallest number March and December. ( "I am unable to explain why mo | accidents happens in summer mont thap the other periods of the yeai ; writes the investigator, "unless it because of the greater number ; children employed during school \ cation. It is also possible that mo ' carelessness or inattention may ha ' been shown caused by the lassitu ' and languor induced by the high tei 1 perature of the season.

Shuler, one Dm Aiken county's foremost farmers, 1 irg vested tnree acres of the finest c ng ever grown hereabouts, and i he haps the equal of any grown in ra- State. The three acres netted 341 As bushels, an average of 116^ bus! ith to the acre. In addition to the c a harvested, 1,800 bundles of fod its was stripped from the field, averag at 2% pounds each. Drs The land upon which this rema or- able yield was gathered is not ext he ordinary land, but average rich ive land, and Mr. Shuler ascribes ar- magnificent yield entirely to the m me of cultivation and fertilization. Si IV- lar iana last year xuaue a yieiu tie about 25 bushels per acre. Mr. S he ler is so enthusiastic over the yi ire this year that he intends to carry the principle on a wider scale n pt. year, and perhaps plant the eni in, crop, using the same methods \ nd fertilizer. iey The land is now planted in peas i he a yield of about 20 bushels is exp< ng ed. The pea crop was considera ar- cut off by dry weather. Consider to the fine yield of corn per acre on t ?r- land, it beats cotton to death, e' wo at the present good prices, the cl profits going well above (the t jrs that could be expected from an a^ he age yield of the fleecy staple, he The following is a detailed sti he ment of the mode of cultivation i he fertilization employed in work its the field this year, tie The land was broken during nd latter part of December with a t" ull horse turn-plough, broadcast. ' he first part of February the land 1 'or again broken, crossing the previ lin furrows with the same heavy plou in- following with a deep two-horse s he soil plough. During the first weei March the land was laid off in ro ,?re five feet wide, and the middles w w, broken out with a large one-hc :o- plough, and the subsoiler was ag >n- run behind this plough. The rl es, in the middle of the rows was brol ik- with a heavy two-winged turn plou At the subsoil plough again being rur of this furrow. The corn was plan >st in this furrow 12 inches apart, 1 grains to the hill to insure a gi ol- stand, and it was covered witl ill Grant guano distributer. The c he was dropped by hand. Two hund go pounds per acre of 8:2 1-2:1 ammc )st ated fertilizer was put down at iff. planting through the distributer, a When the corn came up and ^ of ten days old it was thinned to i ed stalk in the hill. For the first cu be vation an ordinary cultivator i ar used to pulverize the soil, runn ee around the corn. The middles w ;h- now broken out very lightly. In ny days' time the corn was run aroi >e- with a disc cultivator; in ten d le. from this 300 pounds of the sa fertilizer as previously used was ; }. down on one side of the row. T was followed in ten days with . other application, 300 pounds be n put to the acre, on the side left fertilized at the previous cultivati Two weeks after this the corn t rd laid by and 200 pounds of Peruv en guano and nitrate of soda was put LC" one side. After two weeks the sa application was put down on iT> other side, laying that side by at iW same time. Ad The corn's first two plough!: were deep, using straight show lta after that sweeps and small culti of tors were used. 8? The variety of corn used on t plat was Mason's Prolific. The va -r- of the fertilizer used is $22 a ton ek 8:2 1-2:3, and $36 a ton for the dressing, a total valuation of fe ?e? lizer used per acre of $16. k" Eighty pounds of the corn in >al shuck, by actual measurement i weight shelled out 68 pounds of co and after removing the shucks th remained 76 pounds on the cob, fr rs 8 pounds in the shuck. The tc Jr~ acreage averaged about three g< QS ears to^the stalk. The corn was put into a crib, which last year the yield of twe )C" acres of what was considered g< corn, was piled.
