A Weird Story Of a Crime and its Cis-
COVery.

No crime of recent occurrence has so
shocked London As has the one which
is now termed the Whitcchapcl tragedy.
the terrible details of which make long
stories in the London papers. The vic
tim in the case was a pretty ballet Girl,
and the murderer a man named Vain
wright. with whom the Girl had been
keeping company. The first clue to
the terrible crime appears to have been
discovered by a boy, who CHANGED to
observe Il MAJ and woman entering Il
cab and dcpositing beneath the seat tw"
LARGE parcels. from one of which a mU-
tiIated human hand p~rotrudcd. The
cabman was ordered by his passengers
To drive to London Bridge, whittier the
boy followed them. Ilailin@ Il police
man on the way the boy cried: ''Stop
that cab, there is something wrong
there The officer opened the cab
door and requested the man To inform
him of the contents of the parcels. \
very offensive et1luvium then pcrvaded
the cab, and when the police officer
opened one of the parcels, he found
in it the decomposed trunk of female
adult. The parcel had been sewed up
in Il very careful manner, but n side
was left slightly open, and the fingers
of the corpse were p%rotruding. The
contents of the second bundle consisted
of the head of Il female. The arms and
legs, which had been amputated in a
very unskillful manner, were also in the
parcel. 1t was discovered that Vain
wri@ht's house adioined the Pavilion
Thcater, and that he was on terms of
intimacy with the ballet girls. The man
was at once arrested, and the investi-
cation into the case points directly to
him as the murderer.

DEAR News: Your familiar
looking face has found IFS way into
our new home. In fact, you are q
kind of home institution. We
should not like TO try to keep house
without you. The family always
greet your weekly visits.
But We set out 10 write about
Humboldt. And we can say it il
not dead nor deserted. There is
but very little Improvement going
on, but the most of oiir business
houses are occupied, and all the
dwellings have tenants, unless il be
q few uninhabiIab,e shanties.
Humboldt is beautifully located
ON the east bank az The Neosho,
with a fine country acound it. Some
of the best improved farms in the
State are to be found round about
this little CITY. Quite q number of
the farmers In this vicinity are
thrifty, have corn to sell. Hun
dreds of bushels of corn are brought
into town every week by our own
farmers. There is plenty of native
seed corn in our seed stores. The
markets are well furnished with
fat beef and pork fed with grain
raised at home. Yet some of the
people are destitute and had to
draw "aid" from abroad.
The universal cry, hard times,
may be heard here. But our mer-
chants, some of them at least, are
doing big business. There are
two dry goods houses, G.. Y. Smith,
Hysinger & Rosenthal; three or
four groceries, the Star, Dye Bros !;
Eldridge & Moss, Lehman; two
hardware stores, Redfeld & Co. :,
Davis & Stevens and Bernardo seed
store, which are doing heavy bust
ness. Then there are quite a mum
Der of smaller establishments, which
seem to be living. There are two
large steam Touring mills which APP
pear to be thriving. One of them
will be converted to water as soon
as the dam is completed.
Our city election had no political
significance. Indeed, we hardly
know what it did mean. There
were two whisky tickets in the
field, one of them, perhaps, more
whisky than the other. The whis-
kyest ticket was elected.
There are five church buildings in
town but three of them, Presby-
terrain, Methodist and Lutheran, are
regularly occupied.
The spring, as usual, is backward,
But our farmers are earnestly en-
gagged putting in their crops. Some
of them are through with their corn
planting. A large area has been
planted. Eaaly sown wheat looks
we'll. We shall have some peaches.
l should say that number of farm
ers are sowing flax, millet and al
falfa. There will be a much larger
variety of crops this year thsp ever
before. But We must close for this
time. CIR. r,
