A SECOND HOLMES. A liMMiM Preacher wUh a Record fa* Marker-Secca Victim* laid to HU Chart* — Mantes*. Honey mooo and Meath the Brief MUtory of Maajr Wives —A Career and a Kern ace the Xmple* menu of HU Trade. Salt Lake Citt, Utah, May 24.— Further developments in the Scan* damvian church tragedy in this city lead to the belief that the Rev. Fran* da Hermann is a man with a record of crime little less than the notorious Holmes. His first wife died in England under suspicious circumstances. He was pastor of a Scandinavian church at West Superior, Wis., in .1890 and 1891, and there married a highly respectable lady, who in less than a year died very suddenly with her two-weeks-old baby. An Inquest was held, but nothing beyond a suspicion of foul play was elicited. Hermann soon married again, and came to Salt Lake in 1894 with his wife. Before long a baby was born, and the mother and child died suddenly under very suspicious circumstances, a few weeks after. Then his acquaintance with Miss Ciawson commenced, and it is charged in the complaint, which has been sworn to by John Sanson, a member of the church here, that he murdered and cremated the body in the heating furnace in the church basement. He was engaged to marry Miss Samuelson in February of this year, but she disappeared, and it is charged that he poisoned her after seducing her, and carved up the body in the chur<-h sellar. As far as yet discovered it is lieved he has murdered seven persons^ Miss Clawson came io Salt Lake from Oinaga seven years ago. She was a native of Sweden and as far as known had no relatives in this country, but she had many frieuds here and was considered by all as a very respectable girl. t Miss Samuclson was employed as nursery governess in a family here and left her place to be married to the preacher. She has an aunt aud other relatives living here and was a member of Hermann's church. The church otlicials say that llcrmano w as suspended recently for embezzling church tumis, confessed his guilt hi that regard uud was waitings hearing before the aunual Methodist conference, lie was a tine looking mau and very generally liked, lie is represented as. having a great liking for the study of medicine, anatomy and kindred subjects, and often delivered disquisitious on the human form. Photographs aud descriptions o the man have been sent all over the country, but so far the police here hape no tidings of him. When he left Salt Lake on May 15 he purchased a ticket for Kansas City.

D., May if.V.—A severe hail storm swept over this section yesterday afternoon, causing serious damage to crops. Many buildings are without windows. The full amount uf damage cannot be estimated. The principal sufferers from the storm were the Great Northern, there being over two hundred window lights broken in its round house, and the Lelaud hotel. All the windows on the west side of the building wefe broken out Several plate glass fronts were broken, among which the elegant trout in the Tomkins block on Maiu street was totally demolished. Cattle on the ranches suffered severely from the storm, iu a ouinler of instances cattle were pouuded to death by the hail. The stones were of euormous size and fell with terrific force. The storm wab accompanied by severe lightning, doing considerable damage. Due or two barns in the Moose River valley were struck by lightuing. Crops in the Moose valley %rv a total loss.

GRAFTING MADE EASY. V«« Wild T««— Are Cbufcd Into Fiw dacere of Fmo Fruit. ^ Scattered over rocky, sidehill pas tores, along fences, fields and frequently in orchard rows, are to be found on almost every, farm thfrifty wild apple trees, whose fruit is seldom fit for anything bat the cider press. Yet these very trees, with but very little outlay of time and^money, can be changed into producers of fruit of the best varieties by cleft grafting. As soon as spring has ready set in is the proper season to do this work, and almost anyone, by the exercise of intelligence, care and perseverence, can do his own grafting very successfully. The Tools.—A full kit of grafter's tools consists of a keen, fine-toothed, stiffbucked saw, a thin, sharp knife for whittling, a light wooden mallet, a wax kettle and a grafting knife like the one shown in Fig. 1. .The entire length of it is 12 Vi inches. Any blacksmith can make this knife from an old file. Have him taper Hie handle end down to a sharp point. Cutting the Cions.—Many farmers have the notion that cions must be cut in February, but experience has taught FIO. 1.—GRAFTING KN IKE. me that the best time to cut grafts, it one does hot need any great quantity, is at the time they are to be inserted, always provided that the buds are not too far advanced, in which case they should be cut in April and preserved in damp sand or sawdust. For cions, cut only the last year's growth from the end of a bearing branch. Sawing.—In sawing off a branch, the grafter should bear in mind the future shape of the tree, and not saw too close to the trunk, not saw off brunches more than three inches in diameter, and not saw one limb above another, so that the growth will interfere. . In case* of a heavy branch, which is liable to split down, saw under a few inches above wktre you wish to leave your stub, until the saw begins to pinch, then saw from the top at the place selected, and there will be no splitting. Make a smooth, clean cut. Whittling.—C*ons should not exceed a lead pencil in*size. Take the twig in your left hand, and placing the knife at the side of the bud. draw it toward the end. the cait terminating at the pith, the bevel bfting perfect. Serve the opposite side in exactly the same way, taking care that the wedge is a little the thickest in front. There should be about an A-'f Af- 7

FIG. 2.—CLEFT AND CIOS. Inch of shank below the lower bud. Count off three buds and detach, when yoipr cion will appear as shown on the | right of Fig. 2. Setting1 the Cion.—Place the curved edge of your knife over the end of the stub, splitting At right angles to the body of the tree. Split with one blow of ; the mallet if possible, the curved edge of the knife being calculated to make a* clean cut before the bark begins to tear. Drive out the knife, and, reversing. drive the wedge lightly into the cleft. Now bear down on the handle enough to hold the cleft open, insert your cions so that their inner bark will either match with or cross that of the stub, leaving the lower bud a little I above or on a level with the sawed surface. and drive—not pull-out your ‘ knife. The cleft ready for insertion of the cion is seen in Fig. 2. Waxing.—Have your wax abont the | consistency of soft putty and vour hands well oiled with fresh lard, so ' that it will not stick. Roll up sufficient wax to cover the stub, draw the wax w ith one motion over the cleft, shutting in the lower bud. Now cover the other .-left, and if you have used wax enough | to exclude air and moisture success will j -be sure. . ^drafting Wax.—To make a wax that will liot'-cMck in winter nor melt in -uinmer. meR^one part beeswax and one part tallow together, and five parts white resin separately; pour together while hot, *tir briskly and dump into a tub of lukewarm water whose sides and bottom have been previously well greased with lard. Cirease your hands with the same material and work vaur wax until it is a golden yellow and will float.—Orange Judd Fanner.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Peach tree* do better when well cultivated. Generally there it. no advantage in cul tivating the orchard deep. The gooseberry flourishes best in deep moist. but not Wet. «oil. Pear* need a rich soil. Lack of fer tilitv is often the principal cause of failure. With care raspberries may be grows hi the same soil ior years aitd yet produce good crops. On the production of an overcrop it coats the tree more to ripen seeds time * to make the fruit. By planting in long rows and cultivating with cultivator, strawberries can be | frown as-cheapiy ns potatoes.* Grapes grown in a clayey soil are darker and more glossy than those gr<<wn on gravely land, but the sweetest grapes grow in a gravely soil, Give trees plenty of room if you would oave them thrifty and vigorous and bear hitge. w^li-aiatwred fruit.—St. Louis Lrpublic.

APPETIZERS. Derby/Biscuits.—Half pound sugar, naif pound butter, half pound currants, ten ounces flour, jne egg. Mix butter and sugar togethter, beat to a cream; add the egg. flour aad currants; mix well, roll out thin, cut in rounds, and bake in a moderate oven. Potato Xoodles.—Boiled potatoes, two eggs. uylk. Grate a dozen of boiled potatoes, add two eggs, alittlejsalt, onehalf teacupful of milk, enough flour to knead stiff, roll it about one inch thick, cut in small rounds, fry in plenty of lard to a nice brown. Calf s Heart, Roasted.—Put Hie heart in lukewarm water for an hour, thee wipe it dry: stuff It with a nice and highly seasoned veal stuffing, cover i» with buttered paper, and let it roost in a good oven from one-half to one hour, depending on the size; serve it with any good gravy. Sponge Biscuits.—Six eggs, 12 ounces sugar, seven ounces flour, one lemon. Beat the yolks of the eggs to a froth, add the sugar and grated lemon rind, beat again, then add the whites whisked to snow; stir in the flour, and do not beat after the flour is added; bake in small buttered molds for half hour; turn out and ice with coffee, orange or chocolate icing as preferred.—Boston Fleraid. ODD ENDS OF THE WORLD. Laplanders often skate a distance of ISO miles a day. The total estimated area of German Africa is 000.000 square miles. The pearl fishery discovered of? the south toast of India is very rich. In Johannesburg there is a bar to ejvery > of the white population. The watermelon grows wild all over Africa. It was cultivated in Bgvpt B. C. 2500. At last accounts potatoes were selling iu some of the Alaska mining regions for $lC0a sack.' Venezuela has 2i6,000,000 acres of Jorest.ru w hich grow all the varieties f ebony, as well as rosewood, satin wood atU mahogany. The Fiji islands boast of five regular newspapers, four of w hich are printed in English, and one, Na Mata, in the vernacular of the natives. Dominican nuns at King William's Town in Cape Colony, where they have a farm, do their own outdoor work. They plow amt hoe, have built their own buildings, do the carpentry nnd all the blacksmith work, besides teaching the boys and girls in their school.

FOR MOMENTS OF LEISURE. A pound of phosphorus heads 1,000,1 000 matches. People eat 20 per cent, more bread when the weather it cold than w hen it | is mild. The population of the world averages 100 women to every 100 men. Eight-ninths of the sudden deaths are these of males. The great Climo ranch, in southern California, composing 40,000 acres of laud, is to be sold to a Loudon syndicate for $2,000,000. By fur the greater part of the fccritic uts that occur in mills, et<., happen during the last two Lours of work, when workpeople are tired and careless. FROM EASTERN LANDS. . Tc salute with the left hand is a deadly insult to Mohammedaus in the east. ^ There are probably more thieves iu China than in any other country in. the world. The widow of Admiral Ting has;committed suicide on the anniversary of her husband's death. The “luxury of woe” is such in the orient that women seise on the slightest pretext to indulge in it. Most of the numerous temples throughout China are painted red; | everything idekv and pleasant among j the Chinese is of vermilion color. FLEET-FOOTED CANINES. In Siberia-the Russian greyhound is used for tracking fugitives. The greyhound appears on the oldest Egyptian monuments. In Ireland there are four packs of El&chounds with 100 co>'ide& _

TROLLEY ( AES AND P1LLSL I>*m tbt An \*g Ntmt, Neicari N. J. Mn. Anna Burns, of 888 Plai e Street Newark, N.

Wi en our reporter i isited her store she, in respo nse to aquestioi, told him a very interesting story, j “Until about two months ago,” i he began, *1 enjoyed the ve y best of health tnd could work night and dny if necessary. II Suddenly, and without any Jipparent cause, J began to suffer from interne pains in my he id, in my limbs and temples. Almost distra 'ted with this seemingly never ending pal l I tried cure after cure, piescription after prescription sod almost a gallon of medic ne of all kinds. Nothing did me iny good In fact I became worse. :rhe knuckles of ny hands soon became cramped and the pt in in my hips became more and more distres ring eacn day. Business in the store had to 11 e attended to, however, aodso 1 was oblige d, suffering as I was, to keep more or less on my feet, and occasionally .1 was for ed to go out. This was th;- ordeal 1 dreadtd. Each time 1 went out I trembled whi n I came near the car tracks, for mv pain at times was so severe that I was obliged to stand perfectly still, no matter where I vas. On one oocasion I was sewed in this v ay while 1 was crossing the tracks on Mark.it Street, and there I stood perfectly rigid, u nable to more hand or foot while a trolley ar came thundering along. Fortunately it was stopped before it struck me, but he dread of it all lasted as long as my pain, or I never knew when cr ossing the tracks whether 1 woukhuot drop ’to the ground In l iy agonv and be crus bed to death. My anxiety to get well grew apace, and I had about given up in despair when I saw h* the £vv mu Xexti one day an advertisement of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Her;t was something I hadn’t tried before, and il lost no time in getting to the nearest drug store. There 1 } >aid fifty cents fora box of these fcrulv wonderful, health-res to riug pills. Before I had finished taking half of the pills I began to feel relieved; the paps in my hips gradually disappeared, and for the first tune in manv days 1 felt as if there was some hope. 1 continued to take the pills, and the more 1 took the better £ felt. 1 finished one box, got another, and now, having taken only a few of the second fifty, cents' worth, I am free from all pain and as happy as tlie day is long. Since I began to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I have gained thirty pounds, and now when I cross the car tracks I don’t care if there is a dozen vehicles near by.

Gladness Comes \A/ith a better understanding of the j VY transient nature of the many physical ills, which vanish before proper efforta—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There Is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not dne to any actual disease. but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant ; family laxative, Svrupof Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof! families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness'' without debilitating the organs on which it acts* It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase, that you have the genuine article. which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, ; and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If j afflicted with any actual disease, ope may be commended to the most skillful • physicians, but if in need of a laxative, j one should have the besit. and with the well-informed everywhere.
