OHIOANS ARE URGED MAKE NO CHANCES ON FOURTH OF JULY

(By Associated Press) COLUMBUS. O., June 28. A final plea for Ohioans not to revert to unrestrained celebration of July 4, this year has been issued by State Fire Marshal Dykeman. The great decrease in the number of casualties since the safe and sane fourth idea took root is pointed out by Dykeman. I t 1 i a miinlfinolitv a H rv TT a fi revworks at all. clean up all rubbish ana I . - . . . .. . . 1 lnnammabie accumulations oeiore sei ting off the noise and fire makers," said the state fire marshal. "Keep the garden hose attached, and if you have any display of fireworks, wet down the ground before leaving the place. See that all sparks are out. "While fireworks are being exploded shut the doors and windows. Better to swelter than to roast. Keep even the harmless fireworks away from woodwork, clothing and faces. If heavy fireworks are permitted, put the safety from fire up to the fire department, and the safety to life to the police. Never permit children to play with any kind of fireworks while alone." Eighteen years ago, there were 466 deaths and 3,983 injuries from fire works and firecrackers, Dykeman said Beginning with that year and con tinuing until 1918, there were 1,914 deaths and 45,199 injuries. The num ber of deaths decreased from 466 in

there was only one death, compared with three the year before, but 24 injuries compared with nine the preceding year. - "Enjoy the day, but take no chances," is the fire marshal's concluding advice. RANDOLPH SUFFERS FROM CHINCH BUGS WINCHESTER, Ind., June 2S. Randolph county also is suffering from the wide spread plague of chinch bugs. They were noticed in numbers on Sunday, the county agent, R. A. Fields, receivinz seven telephone mes i- n erne? f rnr 1 xr m rrT 1 n cr Hcf nrfl O 1 '"'Vl f l o'clock, reporting chinch bugs in all corners of the county. Instructions issued by the county rgent for the campaign asainst the pest, follow the usual advice of plowing a furrow ahead of the bugs, throwing the earth away from them, running a line of creosote, or crude oil along the top of the furrow, anl digging postholes at intervals of 15 feet as traps. An additional precaution consists in dragging a log along the furrow to make it dusty and hard for the bugs to travel in. The bugs should be killed by occasional application of kerosene when they are caught in the holes. The couny agent appeals for co-operation among the farmers, suggesting that farmers should help check the bugs on their neighbors' farms before they get closer home.

PART TWO. "You must have read in the account cf the inquest about the man's cabin, Mr. Holmes." Hopkins went on, "but perhaps your friend here has not heard of it. He had built himself a wooden outhouse he alw:ys called it the 'cabin' a few hundred yards from his house, and it was here that he slept every night. It was a little, singleroomed but sixteen feet by ten. He kept the key in his pocket, made his fin n rlatinciil it ViiTTtciAlf arm nlmWown bed, cleaned it himself, and allow ed no other foot to cross the threshhold. There are small windows on each side, which were covered by curtains and never opened. One of these windows was turned toward the high road, and when the light burned in it at night the folk used to point it out to each other and wonder what Black Peter was doing in there. That's the window, Mr. Holmes, which gave us one of the few bits of positive evi dence that came out at the inquest. "You remember that a stone-mason, named Slater, walking from Forest Row about one o'clock in the morning two days before the murder stopped as he passed the grounds and looked at the square of light still shining among the trees. He swears that the shadow of a man's head turned sideway was clearly visible on the blind, and that this shadow was certainly not that of Peter Carey, whom he knew well. It was that of a I bearded man, but the beard was short bristled forward in a way very different from that of the captain. So he says, but he had been two hours in the public-house, and it is some distance from the road to the window. Besides, this refers to the Monday, and the crime was done upon the Wednesday. "On the Tuesday, Peter Carey was in one of his blackest moods flushed with drink and as savage as a dan gerous wild beast. He roamed about the house, and the women ran for it when the heard him coming. Late in the evening he went down to his own hut. About two o'clock the following morning, his daughter, who slept with her window open, heard a most fearful yell from that direction, but it was no unusual thing for him to bawl and shout when he was in drink, so no notice was taken. On rising at seven, one of the maids noticed that the door f the ut ws open, but so great was 1ne terror which the man caused that it was midday before anyone would venture down to see what had become of him. Peeping into the open door, they saw a sight which sent them flying, with white faces, into the village. Within an hour I was on the spot and had taken over the case. "Well, I have fairly steady nerves, as you know, Mr. Holmes, but I give you my word, that I got a shake when I put my head into that little house. It was droning like a harmonium with the flies and bluebottles and the floor and walls were like a slaughter-house. He had called it a cabin, and a cabin it was, sure enough, for you would I have thought that you were in a ship. l nere was a duqk at one ena, a seachest, maps- and charts, a picture of the Sea Unicorn, a line of logbooks on a shelf, all exactly as one would expect to find it in a captain's room. And there in the middle of it, was the man himself his face twisted like a lost soul in torment, and his great brindled beard stuck upwards in his agony. Right through his broad breast a steel harpoon had been ! driven, and it had sunk deep into the wood of the wall behind him. He was pinned like a beetle on a card. Of course, he was quite dead, and had been so from the instant that he uttered that last yell of agony. "I know your methods, sir, and I applied them. Before I permitted anything to be moved I examined most carefully the ground outside and also the floor of the room. There were no footmarks." "Meaning that you saw none?" "I assure you, sir, that there were none." "My good Hopkins, I have investiother cereal

J gated many crimes, but I have never yet seen one which was committed by a flying creature. As long as the criminal remains upon two legs so long must there be some indentation, some abrasion, some trifling displacement which can be detected by the f.cientific searcher. It is incredible that this blood-besoattered room contained no trace which could l ave aided us. I understand, however, from the inquest that there were somo objects which you failed to overlook." The young inspector winced at ny companion's ircnical comments. "I was a fool not to call you in at the lime. Mr. Holmes. However, that's past paying for now. Yes, there were several objects in the room which called for special atten tion. One was the harpoon with which the deed was committed. It bad boen snatched down from a hack on the wall. Two others remained ihero, and there was a vacant pl-i.ee for the third. On Hie stock was en graved "Ss. Se Unicorn, Dundee.' crime had been done in a moment of fury, and that the murderer had seized the first weapon which came in his way. The fact, that Ihe crime was committed at two in the morning, and yet Peter Carey was fully dressed, suggested that he had an appointment with the murderer, which is borne out by the fact that a bottle of rum and two dirty glasses stood upon the table." "Yes," said Holmes; "I think that both inferences are permissible. Was there any other spirit but rum in the room?" "Yes, there was a tantalus containing brandy and whisky on-the seachest. It is of no importance to us, nowever, since the decanters were full, and it had therefore not been used." "For all that its presence has sonic significance, said Holmes. "However, let us hear some more about the objects which do seem to you to bear upon the case." "There was this tobacco-pouch upon the table." "What part of the table?" "It lay in the middle. It was of coarse sealskin the straight-haired skin, with a leathei thong to bind it Inside was 'P. C on the flap. There was half an ounce of strong ship's tobacco in it." "Excellent! What more?" Stanley Hopkins drew from his pocket a drab-covered note-book, The outside was rough and worn, the leaves discolored. On the first page were written the initials "J. H. N." and the date "1S83." Holmes laid it on the able and examined it in hi3 minute way, while Hopbins and I gazed over his shoulder. On the second page were the printed letters "C. P. R." i and then came several sheets of num bers. Another heading was "Argentine," another "Costa Rica," and anA Banquet That Was Almost a Tragedy "Three years ago at a banquet I was stricken with acute indigestion. Two doctors worked over me for an hour before I came to. I had had severe colic attacks before, but nothing like that. No doctors or medicine gave me permanent help until a friend who was at the banquet, advised me tn tnlrp a rntirs( nf Atavr's H'nnHorfiil Remedy, which I did with wonderful results." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.

Stanley Hopkins swore between his teeth, and struck his thigh with his clenched hand. "What a fool I have been!" he cried. "Of course, it is as you say. Then 'J. H. N.' are the only initials we havo to solve. I have already examined the old Stock Exchange lists, and I can find no one in 1S83, either in the house or among the outside broker, whose initials correspond with these. Yet I feel that the clue is the most important one that I hold. You, will admit, Mr. Holmes, that there is a possibility that these initials are those of the second person who was present in other words, of the murderer. I would also urge that the introduction into the case of a docu ment relating to large masses of valuable securities gives us for the first time some indication of a motive for the crime."

PONS-WINNECKE BODY WILL BE BACK SOON Unless there is a meteoric shower some time Tuesday evening, the PonsWinnecke comet will have passed through out solar system without so much as a ripple in the Milky Way in its latest neighborly call. Indications at present are that the shower will not develop as the comet is even now reported to be headed for parts unknown. Separated from the earth by a scant 12,000,000 miles at the point of nearest approach, a number of interested ama teur astronomers wer in hopes of catching a glimpse of the comet this year. Prof. E. D. Grant, of Earlham, however, said Tuesday the comet is of the twelfth magnitude and as such cannot be distinguished by any local telescopes. The Pons-Winnecke comet will not strike the earth this year or the next. It will return again about the year 1926 or '27 according to present cal culations.

Say Agreed Price 7 Centa It was said that in a joint session of farmers and threshermen several weeks ago an agreement was made that the maximum rate for threshing this year would be seven cents. The farmers also charged that their side of the case was not presented at the meeting of threshermen held here last week, but that. the threshermen voted blindly on the price fixed through the influence of one man, who controlled the meeting. The farmers also set out the thrash-
