On Thursday night Brooks us exceedingly nervous nud erica; cemed haunted by the face of the iiiirdored woman, but on Friday he us perfectly calm and says in a tear voice: "Yes, 1 killer her; killed icr with a cluw hummer nnd tlueu t uwuy." Tho only real clew, estnblishin; ho fact that Brooks is the man who oinniitted the crime, is the fact tin. iu confessed to using it claw hiiin itcr as the instrument with which hu oiniutitcd the deed.

By milking Davis a paid-up stockholder to the iimoir.it of his claim he becomes a paid-up stockholder for $'21,000, nud the citizens for $'2.ri,000, milking the paid-up stock $10,000 to divide about .flR.OOO, which will give a dividend of probably b0 per cent, or u littlu better.

Dr. J. l'V llcddy, s receiver of the Voi nl, hud disallowed the claim because ho thought that Davis dtould share with the other stock holders who had paid cash for thoii' dock. His contention is sustained by this decision. SUNNY Soap is cheaper than clothes and it pays, therefore, to get the best soap, even for laundry purposes. The best laundry soap made is a white soap called "Sunny Monday," which contains no rosin and is kind to clothes. One bar of Sunny Monday will go as far as two bars of ordinary yellow laundry soap which contains rosin; its use, therefore, means economy. THE N. K.
