The strength of a child.
It is surprising to find how few parents
know the great strength giving qualities
of good oatmeal. Most of them think
of it as a food for the sturdy Scotch or
the brawny Englishman , and overlook
its value as a food for children. Every
now and then a mother will take to fecd-
Jng her children on Quaker Oats and
"
"will he astonished at their improvement
in strength and vigor. Of course , she
tells her friends , and they prove it for
themselves , but every mother in the
country should see that her children are
strong and vigorous. Plenty of Quaker
Oats , eaten often , will do it.
Put up in t o sizes , the regular pack
age and'tbs large faaaily size which is
more convenient for those V/h'd do cot

More About Story's Con
fession.
"Well , boys , you know we have
had hard work to know anything
for sure about the Samuel Story
murder ease.
The detailed confession , which I
had printed in THE DEMOCRAT last
week , was not without doubt in
my mind as to its truthfulness.
This being true , I could not and
did not stop the investigation , but
have been up and down the rail
road and to the records of the
penitentiary ever since Story was
sent to prison , and have gotten the
matter to a point where all may
know and not guess at what they
are saying. 1 was quite inclined
to believe the rehearsal of his con
fession at first , but was bewildered ,
and , having poor evidence with
which to convict'the man , I felt
like giving him the benefit of the
doubt as to the MOTIVE , not as
to the shooting.
Xow , while 1 have a weakness
to forgive a criminal , so do I have
a strong desire to correct any feel
ing that may have grown out of
the statements in the written con
fession , which statements might
lead some to sympathize , when no
sympathy was due , and the like
of thut.
Kow , in my last week's follow
ing of a chain of occurrences I
am positively in possession of such
facts as will clear all your minds
as to the motive , and how long the
motive ! ad existed ; who ? ,11 v am
had trouble with in the last five
years , and whatsit was that first
; prompted him to secure the gun
a nl how he ca'ne by it ; \ \ hether
lr * got here by train or otherwise ;
can tell how much of your suspic
ions were well .founded , arid Low
and \ \ here \ ou were faulty in
many of your ' 'think SOPS , " and
of the exar-t manner of getting
Fred Smith to the slaughter block
Jfc hits been an obscure cas .
We have had a hard , long sieye
of wonderings how in the world it
ever happened. I positively know
at last , and you are all my ac
quaintances both men and wom
en. Come to the court house next
Friday night about S o'clock , and
while I should like to tell you all
both men and women , I will say
that if you are in sympathy with
the murderer and wish to remain
so you had perhaps , better not
come , because all of the h 1 that
has been at the bottom of this case
will be disclosed.
If the boys all wish we will
hastily pick a jury among the
crowd and hastily go through a
sort of mock trail. After the jury
hears the facts narrated they are
to have their discussion , one at a
time , right there in the presence
of the crowd , so that all may un
derstand well and hear their ver
dict , and I am sure we will all feel
better for having our minds clear
ed up. I will put my findings up
against the findings of the whole
county , and take the jury's verdict
for it. MILT LATTA.
