NUMBER 5
Irwin W. MclIotL
Last week we told our readers
that Irwin W. Mellott died in
icwa on October Cth. Since last
publication day we read the fol
lowing account of his death in
the Philadelphia Record:
"Chicago, Oct. 14. -Mrs. Ruth
McCullough, a 20 year-oldjsnake-charmer.
and her ram
Clarence McCormick, 18-year-old
son of a Lancaster, Mo., farmer,
were arrested here to-day, charged
with the recent murder of I. W.
Mellott, a wealthy farmer, of
Hedrick, la., and are said by the
police to have confessed their
guilt in writinjr.

early to-day by Sheriff V. E.
Knox, of Ottumwa. Ia.. nnrl
Sheriff E. J. Grimes, of Keokuk
county, assisted by a local detec
tive, as the pair were about to he
evicted from a West Side rooming
house for non-payment of rent.
The fugitives were penniless.
The robbery netted them only $2L'
and McCormick had been unable
to obtain employment.
The snake charmer was a fol
lower of county fairs and street
carnivals, and McCormick met
her at one of these in Illinois. lb.'
became infatuated and followed
her from place to place.
Mellott was believed to carrv
large sums with him and McCor
mick and the girl are alleged to
have lured him out of the town
of lledrick, on the pretext that
he would meet a girl in whom he
is said to have been interested.
In a written statement McCor
mick exonerated Mrs. McCul
lough. He said he shot Mellott
to get money to marry the wo
man, who had promised to obtain
a divorce.
McCormick and Mrs. McCul
lough were taken to Ottumwa.
Iowa, to-night."
Mr. Mellott was a son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Mellott.
of near Saluvia, this county. His
wife's maiden name was Regina
Sipes, and at the time of her mar
nage to Mr. Mellott, she was the
widow of Frank Daniels, of Lick
ing Creek township. About fif
teen or twenty years ago Mr. and
Mrs. Mellot removed to Iowa,
where Mrs. Mellott still resides.
They had no children.
Two From This Ccunty.
More than forty marriages took
place in Ilagerstown during the

Little talks on Health and Hygiene bj
Samuel G. Di.ua, M. D., LL D.,
Commissioner Health.
"As the twig is bent, the tree
is inclined."
Few people appreciate the val
ue of correct posture. Not alone
does it have a decided efliect up
on our bodily health but an enu d
if not a greater, bearing upon our
mental attitude. When a man i3
down and out we plead with him
to "brace up." It is almost im-
possible to associate incompeten
cy and weakness with a firm up
right carriage. Resolution seems
to be the natural accompaniment
ly from rheumatism, and during
the last year of his life he was
parctically helpless. He was a
man who stood hign in the esti
mation of his fellow men.

The Latest Fad.
The latest fad in society is the
tub cure. In this the patient
arises just as the crisp air of the
morning is mellowed by the first
sunbeam. An ordinary washtub
is then filled with hot water and
soap sud:, into which various ar
ticles of linen are thrown. After
they are thoroughly saturated the
patient takes them up one at a
time anu ruos tnem briskly ud
and down on a washboard placed
in the tub. This is kept up until
the hands, arms and face are a
glowing pink. The patient then
goes into the open air and hangs
all the linen articles on a line
stretched for that purpose. The
one completing the task first an
nounces the time to the others
over the telephone, and is enti
tled to a prize. It is exciting
sport and also invigorating exercise.
