1 THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. THURSDAY. MARCH 10. 1910 MOTHtR OF 4 BABES WI1HIN ONE YEAR. Weighs 90_Pounds. Has a Remarkable family. Des Moines, la., March 4.—The most remarkable family in Iowa la that of Mr. and Mrs. George Norton, of Osceola. , Not only did Mrs. Norton present her husband with a boy baby leas than a year ago, but the stork on Satur day left a fine set of triplets at the Norton home. They are all boys. Carl, the brother of the triplets, celebrated his first birthday yester day. The only regret of the parents Is that the triplets did not arrive a ■week later, so that the four might have birthday celebrations on the same day. Mrs. Norton weighs ninety pounds. It Is doubtful is another woman in the world can boast of four healthy sons born within a single year. Mr. and Mrs. Norton live on a farm outside of Osceola. Just at present one might imagine that the farm is a summer resort. Judging from the crowds that have been going out to gaze tij>on the extraordinary quartet.

The following account from Cord el n In 1 heir faith. LARCENY IS ADDED 10 THE LIST Of CHARGES To Which Tku Suspects Willi Answer. The charge of stealing a sample trunk at the Central depot, the prop erty of a traveling man, and dispos ing of its contents of fine goods through a female ass'stant is another charge booked yesterday against the two white men now in Jail here. The detained pair, J. L. Brett and Marliu Hightower, were captured on Saturday by tin police here upon another charge. The first booking was vagrancy and to that the charge of simple larceny is now added. This pair were arrested for an ul leged attempted assault upon a young white girl near Americus on Saturday last .one of the pair, it is alleged, seizing the girl while the other held a pistol. Several nights ago a trunk wa3 stolen from the Central depot, and the police now connect the two men, Brett and Hightower, together with a wofan said to be a sister of the latter, with the affair. A warrant for the woman has been issued. The warrant charges the woman with having receive^ the goods taken Irom the trunk. Sheriff Feagln thinks the two men are wanted for other offenses recently committed hereabout, and will hold them accordingly. The attack upon the young orphan girl boro Saturday seems sufficient to convict one, If not both, of the fellows. Ober developments In the case are expected, as the police propose go- Ing to the bottom of the affair. APPLIES THE SOAP INWARDLY; WASHED TO PEABLY OATES Convict swallows an Overdose of Lye !

State Superintendent of Schools Payson Smith, of the state of Maine, was in the city yesterday and was the guest of the Agricultural and .Mechanioal' school. Maine is consid ering the proposition of putting agri cultural and mecbanlqpl training schools In her state schools. Supt Smith Is touring the South >to person ally Inspect the high schools that are including In their courses agriculture and mechanical training. Supt. Smith got a little mixed In coming to Americus. It was all caus ed by an error In the 1909 report of the state school commissioner of Georgia. Before leaving Augusta, Me., Supt. Smith selected from the reports ot the various state superin tendents the places and schools that he would visit. Naturally he selected the Americus agricultural school as the one Georgia school that he would visit. Here Is wbero the Maine man got mixed. In the report referred above, the report from the Third dis- trist school, by some kind ot a mishap, is credited to Supt. Acree, of the First district. Mr. Smith came to Americus from Birmingham. He visited one of the state schools In Alabama and the Tuskegee Institute. He went from Americus to Jacksonville. Supt. Smith spent tbe day at the Third district school taking notes on every department of the work. He .thinks the school here Is closer human life and human need than any he has visited.
