Paint price surge as flaxseed shortage drives costs
A local druggist reports a 20 cent per gallon rise on all mixed paints and a withdrawal of future quotations. The update, decided at the mixed paint manufacturers annual meeting, raises paint to about 2.00 a gallon from 1.50, with linseed oil up to 1.00, led by flaxseed scarcity and higher labor costs. The American Lead company also faces blame for price control on lead and zinc used in paints.

Murder Planned in Abilene Girl Death Case
Abilene Kansas August 18 officers solving Bertha Rennins death still lack a clear suspect. The theory now holds the murder was premeditated and the writer of a German note found near the window is believed to have written it before the attack. At the coroner's inquest witnesses described a chloroform bottle and corks in a dresser, with questions raised about Benjamin’s finances and Benningans. Physicians doubt a post mortem would be useful due to embalming.

The rules committee in New York announced radical changes for 1910 aimed at reducing danger. Play will be in four 15 minute quarters with shorter intermissions, goals change between the second and fourth periods, and a flying tackle is banned requiring a tackler to touch ground first. Forward passes are restricted to players at least one yard behind the line of scrimmage and kicks require five yards back. The territory ahead of the line becomes neutral until pass or kick completes.
