HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one
should have truthfuily answered before
he starts on his journey, and little
care taken in examination of Routes
will in many cases save much trouble,
time and money.
The &C. b. & @. RR.," running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Bur
lington, and the 81. B. & w. Route"
running from indianapolis, through
Bloomington to Burlington, have
achieved a splendid reputation in the
last two years as the leading Passen-
ger Routes to the West. At Burling-
ton they connect with the b. q M. X.
II. and form the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through
Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kan
sas, with close connections to Califor-
MIA and the Territories; and passen-
gers starting from Tonesta, on their
way westward, cannot do better than
to take the Burlington Route.
This Line has published pamphlet
called "How to go West" which con-
tains much valuable information a

An accident happened at Reck S

which came near costing Michael
Brecht his life. He was skidding logs
with couple of mules, on the side OF

slid down, knocking one of the mules
down, hurting him severely and strik-
ing Mr.. Brecht on the hip. He was
severely bruised, but fortunately none
of his limbs were broken. 1t was a
large tree, and it is remarkable how
he escaped with his life. Mr.. Osgood,

A MUCH- MARRIED WDow. writer
contributes to the columns of the hester
Pennsylvania Republican an article on

extmct the following: 4.
Another very coursable widow was a
young lady Of W hingtor, Pennsy lvspia.
She became engaged to young man
namen Robert ~, in 1916. Her
father, however, objected to this match
with one Of his clerks, and vixen the
young girl received tempting propo sal
from a wealthy sutton the parental inhu.
enee soon affected marriage despite tho
previous engagement. In less than three
months her husband was killed By kick
from horse. Robert was scond time
sutton, but delayed the important quos-
ton until f fteen months had elapsed,
when to his horror, she ia:ormed him
that she was engaged. In three mouths
thereafter she was married: Two years
elapsed, when the married couple re-
moved to Syracuse, New York, where,
among the victims of the cholera, wien
the pessilence swept that city, was the
second. Robert again sought her hand,
and when year passed was On the eve of
declaration, when 10 he received an
invitation to her welding. Her late
husbands business was found in such
state that to avoid immense losses she
married the surviving partner. Shortly
after she removed with her third husband
to Detroit, Michigan. A few years elaps-
ed when herself and husband were on
steamer that vas wrecked near Bufalo.-
The husband persisted aad tho wife escap-
cd, solely through the exertions of
friend who was on board. His gallautry
inspired such sentiments in her breast
that she married her third wiiowhood. =
The happy pair removed 20 P,ttsburg.

mercantile business. Thither Robert, still
caerishing his first lore, followed them

commotion. Rushing IN, he beheld the
mang'ed corpse of that gentleman on the

Allegheny where the deceased had resid-

keeper was just ahead of him. aud from
past experience, knowing the virtue of
psoapt action, and experimenting that the
cerk had designs on the widow, he ran
for Gear life, side by side. The race
continued until they reached Hand street
bridge, when the clerk was obliged ts
stop and pay the toll, while Robert, a
commuter passed over without stopping.

seemed now but one possible conclus ion,
aud the stepmother was arres ted. :
The indictment has to do with only
these four murders, but the probabilities
now point to her as the murderess of her
first family as well, and if aequited on the
present charges she will undoubtedly be
held to answer for the Struck mortality.

Xhe Casa of Mrs. Sherman, Charged
With -Four Murders -IIer Approa Oh.
ing Trial.

One of the most remarkable cases ever
put on criminal docket Is about to be
tried in New Haven. The accused, Mrs.
Sherman, is charged in the indictment
with the guilt Of four coldblooaed and
unnatural murders, while by popnlag
opinion she is guilty of these and seven
more. All Of her victins-at least all of
these eleyen-were connected to her by
the closost domestic ties, as the list is
made up of three husbands, six own
children and tso step children. The
history of the case is briefly as follows:
In May last Horatio N Sherman. a
factory hand at Birmingham, Connecticut
died suddenly, with all the symptoms of
arsenical poison. Suspicion naturally
rested on his wife, who was known to
have recently quarrelled with him. The
woman however, bore at the time a good
character, having been for many years
member of the Presbyterian church, in
good and regular standing. She was
forty-seyen years of age, ard might be
supposed 70 have enjoyed whatever benefit
there is in family af1liction, as before she
became Mrs Sherman she had lost two
husbands and SIX children.
In 1916 the woman, whose maiden
name was Lydia Danbury, married her
6rst husband, widower of the name of
Struck, and bore him seven children
After eighteen years of marriage life
Struck died, after short illness, in 1864.
In the two following years six of the
seven children all who lived with her in
New jersey died, and were buried
in Trinity Cemetery. A fter the death Of
her children the widow Struck moved to
Stratford where she became acquainted
with and married an elderly gentleman
Hurlburt by name. After union of
fourteen months Mr.. Hurburt died
suddenly leaving her his entire property,
amounting to $4,000. This was in,
1858. In the fall OF 1870 she once more
promised to love, honor and obey has
band, this time a Mr.. Sherman, for
whose murder she is now on trial. Sherman
like the former two, was a widowcr, and
had four children. Iu less than SIX
months after this marriage Frank Sher-
man The youngest OF tbs family died after
day or two sickness, with violent cramps
and vomiting. In less than two months,
on New Years eve, second child-Ada,
fifteen years old, beautiful, and a village
fayorite- died III similar paroxysms.-
None appeared more deeply affected than
the mother, who had devoted herself to
the sufferers like real parent.
Suspicion was not even then aroused );
but when, three months later, the hus-
band expired with exactly similar symp-
toms, and those the symptoms of death
by poision, the coincidence became SO
startling as to compel attention and in
vestigasion. A post norton examination
was held, and the stomach sent to Prof.
Baker. of the Yale medical faculty, for
chemical analysis. He reported the pre-.
sence Of arsenic 10 large quantities. The
graves of the tive children we've then
secretly opened, and the same deadly
drug found in their bodies also. This
was damning proof enough. but the
physicians wished to DO doubly assured,
aud SO had The long covered grave of
Hurlsurt also opened and Lis remains OK
