CONCEALED TWO YEARS
AN ILLINOIS SLAYER CAPTURED
IN HIS CRAMPED QUARTERS.
A County's Officers Had Searched Ir
, Vain While the Fugitive Was Hid
den In the Village How He
Was Caught
Collinsvllle, I1L Through an open
Ing 18 inches square George Goehl of
Collinsvllle, confessed slayer of An
thony Gallamano, received his meals
and necessaries of life and eluded the
authorities of Madison county, Illinois,
two years. He was arrested in his
hiding place the other night by a
posse headed by Joseph Long, chief oi
police of Collinsvllle.
Goehl, who Is a carpenter, has been
sought for the killing of Gallamano
at a picnic at Horseshoe Lake, May 29,
1910. Gallamano was stabbed in the
back by Goehl, who disappeared mys
teriously after the cutting and authori
ties had been baffled in their efforts to
find him.
Gallamano, who was the proprietor
of a soda water factory in Collins
vllle, lived only six days after he was
injured and in an ante-mortem state
ment declared Goehl was his assailant.
After the stabbing the traction lines
from Collinsvllle- to Horseshoe Lake
were watched for Goehl, but no trace
v.as found. The authorities went to the
Goehl home in Fletcher Heights, which
is in the outskirts of Collinsvllle. but
the search was in vain.
Chief Long received information the
other day that Goehl was again In the
vicinity of his home and quietly took
a squad of men with him to make
the arrest.
As a special precaution, and In or
der to disarm the suspicion of Goehl's
relatives, a butcher wagon was pressed
into service and a boy drove Chlel
Long and his aids to the Goehl home.
They remained in hiding in the bed
of the wagon as they passed the house,
fearing their approach might be com
municated to the fugitive and he might
again escape.
After dark they surrounded the
house, while Chief Long and one of
his men approached the front door.
They knocked and were admitted by
the parents of the fugitive.
The chief and his men we. a told the
younr man was not in the house, but
they insisted that they had come for a
"search and would make one. . Out
buildings were first inspected and then
the house gone over carefully, but not
a sign was found of the young man.
The chief, going through the garret,
noticed a curtain hanging over a
small opening In the wall. This led
to a small hole under the eaves. One
of the officers, with bis revolver In hti
hand and armed with an electric
searchlight, entered the bole. His foot
struck against a soft object huddled
under the eaves, and, flashing his light,
the officer discovered Goehl.
The young man readily surrender
ed and told of his flight after the kill
ing and his return to the protection of
his family. He said he was glad the
affair was ended, and that be wai
ready to stand trial
LOVE MESSAGES BY WIRELESS
Telegrams From Girls 8mltten by
, Manly Jack Tars Retard Important
Official Business.
1 Newport, R. I. The matter of in
terference by amateurs and others
with the wireless communication ol
the naval torpedo station and ships
of the Atlantic fleet has reached a cli
max in the last few weeks, and the
latest thing to retard important offi
cial business is a large number ol
messages from girls smitten by the
manly Jack tars of the big ships.
These maidens, living in Boston and
other cities along the coast, send the
moBt trifling messages' to their sea
faring friends. One of the most ardent
messages intercepted here was from
"Sweetheart Maggie" to "Darling
Jack," in which Jack was implored to
come to Boston as soon as he could,
because Maggie's heart was "Just melt
ing away" for him, and he had not
kissed her for so long her "Hps were
dry."
Captain Williams, commanding the
torpedo station and who has supervt
ion of the wireless Dlant. has Incor
porated many of the Interrupted love
messages in a report to the navy de
partment and they will be placed be
fore congress in an endeavor to show
why there should be government regu
lation of wireless.
The steamers of the Fall River line
ire also accused of sending many trlv
lal messages at a time when they In
terfere greatly with government tmai.
Qess. The matter will soon ')e taken
before congress.

PREVENT DISEASES OF SHEEF
One of Large Itema of Expense for
Breeder Nowadays Millions Lost '
Through Carelessness.
One of the chief items of cost li
the raising of sheep that has beer
found Is the work carried on to pre
Tent disease among the animals
Sheep men in the west, where the
nomadic herder has been accustomed
to wander from range to. range, havi
learned that they cannot be too care
ful along this point v
Losses of millions of dollars have
resulted because of carelessness in
this respect and now all of the west
ern states have stringent dipping
laws. In dipping, the sheep are
forced to swim singly, through long
trenches, filled with a solution of to
bacco and sulphur or some other germ
destroying concoction. This is recog
nlzed as the best preventive ol
scabies, the disease that plays the
greatest havoc with sheep.
Scabies Is' caused by a parasite
germ, which spreads over the sheep's
body, causing intense itching, rapid
emaciation and death. In the west It
is considered a high crime for a flock
master to allow Infected sheep the
run of the open range as perfectly
sound sheep may pass that way
months later and be Infected. Dip
ping is done regularly in all sheep
communities. In Wyoming no sheep
can be brought into the state unless
the state board of sheep commission
ers receives ten days notice, with an
entrance fee of 3 cents a head for
sheep and 26 cents a head for bucks.
The sheep are dipped Immediately
after crossing the state line, and 11
they show signs of infection they are
held in quarantine on a clean range.
So vigorous is this warfare against in
fection in Wyoming and other great
sheep states that even the sheep
shipped for market must be sent in
disinfected cars.
Crews of experienced men must be
maintained at these dipping stations
and as all these things cost money
the sheep man must bear the expense.
The solutions in which sheep are
dipped are quite expensive and dip
ping must enter heavily into the cal
culations of the operator, who, per
haps, has several hundred thousand
head of sheep running under his brand
SPINACH IS EXCELLENT CROF
Better to Sow In Drills So Soil Can
Be Kept Loose and Free From
Weeds In Summer.
You can sow spinach in the early
spring and get a good crop, but you
will have an earlier from fall-sown
seed. In mild climates It is availahie
long Into the winter.
It is a gross feeder and for best re
sults requires a rich soil. If a small
area only is available it may be sown
broadcast in beds, but by all means
sow in drills, if possible, as the ground
can be kept loose and free from weeds
during the summer.
For northern regions winter protec
tion should be given, and this may
consist of coarse litter of any kind.
In general, mulching is not required
in the south.
In the north the covering serves
two purposes: not only protection
from freezing, but it Is also more
easily gathered when thus protected
from the snow.
' As to varieties for autumn sowing,
the Prickly Winter and he Long
Standing are the best. Of the former
variety the term "prickly" applies
ionly to the seeds, not to the foliage
or edible part
Long Standing is so named from
Its habit of remaining in edible con
dition for a long time before going to
seed.
Need for Cultivation.
It is a mistake to allow orchard
land to lie hard and crusty in the
spring simply because there are no
weeds growing. The orchard neda
cultivation Just as does the corn. A
mulch should be maintained so as to
prevent the escape of the moisture.
During midsummer the moisture will
be needed, and if it is dried out the
trees may suffer and shed their
leaves early. '
Fighting Sheep Ticks.
If there are many ticks on the flock,
make arrangements to dip the lambs
Just as soon as the ewes 'can be
sheared. It will be a good Idea to dip
the sheep also at the same time. The
coal tar dtps may be used, and some
of the sulphur dips are good.
8tudy In Farm Economics.
A wise man once wrote: "Just stop
a moment and consider carting a ton

carting a tub of butter to market
They are about equal in value, anr1
note the difference iu cartage."

PARIS. The world Is quite full

is little doubt, and while the
condition of passing from one thing to

We are in danger from too" much
liberty, rather than restriction. When
women are allowed all kinds nf fonh.

sounds as though a uniform were the
most acceptable law of clothes; but

You can see for yourself how op
posed these are to each other, for one
can Imagine nothing more incongruous
than panniers and the lone Directoir
coat. Yet women can choose from
among these dominant styles and also
rrom many others that are chiefly
known by the name mld-VIetorlan and
which mean ruchings and plaltlngs,
velvet ribbon and shot taffeta, flopping
hats, elbow sleeves and nlnltpd
flounces.
The incoming tide of long sleeves
bothers women quite a Eood deal. Few
want to wear them, and every one es
pecially objects to their arrival along
with the warm weather. It Is true,
they are very filmy and cannot add a
quarter degree to the heat, but they
feel uncomfortable In the same way
that a high stock does. One is irri
tated when covered with any kind of
material over the neck and wrists in
hot weather.
-.
Use of Long Sleeves.
The new sleeve is a problem that
must be taken up by every one. It is
not necessary to have It; fashion al
lows of latitude there as elsewhere. If
you are set against it and Insist upon
short sleeves, you can use the loose
three-quarter one In street garments
and the tight elbow one in the house.
This does not alter the fact that the
long sleeve which snugly fits the arm
at the shoulder and at the wrist is the
leading fashion. It is made in a va
riety of ways. If you like to look real
ly old-fashioned and at the same time
show that you are quite new-fashioned,
you should adopt the foremost style,
which is a long shoulder that drops for
two Inches over the arm, a slightly
full sleeve that Is gathered into the
armhole, a piping or a thick cord to
hide the gathers, then a tight four
inch cuff fastened at the back and ex
tending well over the back of the
hand.
This Is the sleeve used by Mme. Pa
quln and others of her standing in
Paris, and has been followed since laBt
September by those who dress in a fas
tidious way, It has not been known
to the general public or taken up with
any degree of warmth until this
spring. It was an experiment in Paris
last autumn, and all the houses over
there used it, but did not insist on It.
The American women did not like
it but the French women were de
lighted with it They a"re not very
keen about exposing their arms or
their necks, except In the evening In
private houses or at the opera; it is
the Anglo-Saxon race that cuts out
the neck and cuts off the sleeves of
every blouse with the least possible
excuse.
The boned collar and tie wrist ruf
fle are adjuncts to every Parisian cos
tume; the elbow sleeves and the Dutch
neck are deflnltalv Imorlnn
' To return to the making of long
sleeves; It Is not necessary that they
should begin with the long shoulder
that falls on the arm. The armhole
may be put In its normal place, only
it must err on the side of being a lit
tle longer than usual.
Whatever else this long sleeve has
it must not have a flare at the wrist;
it must fit the arm and be fastened in
by buttons or hooks and eyes. Even
coat sleeves no longer have the loose
wrist line, and If they have a turnover
cuff of the material or of another fab
ric In the same color. It also must be
small and snug.
It 1b quite the thing to use a trans
parent sleeve in an opaque frock. For
instance, in a linen gown of dark blue
or ecru there are sleeves of muslin or
cotton marquisette which match in
color and are finished at the wrist with
a garnishing of linen and probably
four or a half dozen white crochet but
tons. This gives an especially cool
look to the summer frock.
With White Satin.
The same is done with taffeta sill
and with satin. There are white satin
frocks for everyday wear out of town
that have deep V-shaped gulmpes
back and front with sleeves to match
the white mull or shallow lace or mar
quisette. The majority of women pre
fer the sleeves of satin, which are real
ly better looking, but, the others may
be used and many women may like
them.
When a sleeve Is made of the mate
rial and one does not wish it to ex
tend to the wrist it is usually cut off
at three-quarter length, finished with
a turnover cuff of another fabric and
dropped over a tight lower cuff of net
or lace or chiffon cloth. The latter Is
a very serviceable material, more so
than most women think, and is espe
cially becoming to the skin. While
In white it soils easily, yet It washes
like linen and irons easily.
Among the quaint revivals from Vic
torian days Is the bracelet of narrow
velvet ribbon tied at the side or fin
ished with a small gilt or cameo slide.

These are worn on the bare arm whei
elbow sleeves are above, but they are
also worn as a finish to the long, thin
sleeve made of one fabric.
Skirts In Two Layers.
It is the general complaint among
womankind that all fashions are made
for the slim and the tall, and they will
feel more like saying this when the
skirts in two layers and two colors are
Introduced. In fact they are already
here, but they promise to gain ground
as the season moves on.
They are made with a transparent
upper half and an opaque lower half,
and you are permitted to do It the
other way round. This does not sound
new, for you may remember it herald
ed the incoming bobble skirt In this
case it is new-looking, even if it 1b an
pld Idea. Often one part is draped up
over the other, or a deep border, used
as a ruffle, covers the Joining of the
two, and in the case of linen and cot
ton marquisette, which are now put to
gether, there Is often a border in
serted of that new and very startling
material which is like crash with color
spilled on It without regard to design.
The Illustration concerns a little
matinee or rest gown. The choice, I
may say, is almost embarrassing, and
the taste displayed, alike In material,
trimming and style, far In advance of
what it was a few years ago, There
is, besides, a feeling for practicability
prevailing that is most commendable,
and embraces the whole gamut from
flannel dressing-gowns at a guinea to
some dainty saut de lit of crepe de
Chine. An always adorable fabric for
the purpose Is a good quality Japanese
silk that can be lined with veiling and,
left unllned for summer.
The modest little model offered is
Just the very thing for this silk, the
skirt mounted in a series of small box
pleats beneath a short waUt bolero
of guipure lace, where a threaded
satin ribbon makes for a pretty finish,
the ends tied in an outspreading bow
in front The sleeves are particularly
clever, being cut full and threaded
with the ribbon into pleats Just above
the elbow. Akin with all the new neg
ligees the skirt Just touchea the ground
and la cut round without a train.
KILLED MAKING TEST
TAILOR'S JUMP FROM EIFFEL
TOWER WITH PARACHUTE.
device Designed to Save Life Failed U
Work and the Inventor's Body
Smashed Hole Seven Inches
Deep In Frozen Ground.
ParlB. Francois Reichelt aged 33,
a ladles' tailor, was Instantly killed re
cently when a parachute which he had
invented failed to work, as he Jumped
from a stage of the Eiffel tower, near
ly 200 feet from the ground.
Reichelt had been working two years
on his invention, which he Intended
for use by aviators when aeroplanes
begin to tumble because of accidents.
It was his idea that the affair, which
was on the order of a parachute,
should be a sort of lifeboat for an air
man whose machine was wrecked.
The parachute was made of silk
and was attached to the back like a
soldier's knapsack. It weighed less
than 20 pounds and the inventor fig
ured that an airman would hardly no
tice ft on his back. Reichelt had fre
quently tested the affair by attaching
it to a dummy and dropping the dum
my from various heights in the court
yard of his home.
About a year ago, Reichelt attached
the parachute to his back and made a
drop of 36 feet The parachute fail
ed to open, but the Inventor escaped
Injury because be had taken the pre
caution to cover his landing place
with straw.
Reichelt was convinced that the fail
ure of his device to work on this oc
casion was because the distance from
which he Jumped was too low and also
because of an absence of personal con
trol. He worked hard to get a permit from
the prefecture of police for a personal
test or, as bis friends called It, a duty
test, from the Eiffel tower and finally
secured the privilege.
According to the official report of
the prefecture of police, Reichelt as
cended to the first stage of the tower,
which is about 187 feet . from the
ground. He placed a table near the
edge, facing the Seine, and got ready
for the Jump, while a crowd of report
ers and cinematograph operators
awaited him on the ground.
Relcbelt's friends implored him,
even at the last moment, to use a
dummy for the test, but he disregard
ed their advice and Jumped out from
the table with the parachute on bis
back.
For a second It seemed S3 if the par
achute was about to open, in accord
ance with the theory of the Inventor,
but it shrunk together again, and he
fell like a stone, striking the ground
in less than four seconds.
The weight on his back accelerated
his fall. He struck with a terrific
crash and was picked up dead. His
legs and the spinal column were
broken and his body made a hole seven
inches deep in the frozen ground.
The accident was not because of an
adverse wind, but because a piece of
paper, which had been dropped before
Richert Jumped, fell vertically.
One of the earliest victims of avia
tion was another ladies' tailor, Fer
nandez, who was killed on November
6, 1909, In an aeroplane of his own In
vention. DESERTS NAVY FOR MOTHER
