A YOUNG GIRL
Bound Hand and Foot and Thrown
into the Missouri FIiver-Circum-
stances ImpIicate her Father,
who Probably Commit
ted Suicide.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. April 22-This city
was thrown into a state of excitement this
evening by the intelligence that the body of
a young girl, with hands and feet tied, had
been taken out of the Missouri river, some
miles below here, on Sunday. The body was
recognized as that of Ella Ryder, daughter
of a farmer living several miles south of
where the body was found. The only tangi-
bic theory as to how she came to her death
that can be got at at present is as follows:
For some time past the girl had been keep
ing company with bad man named Todd.
of very dIssipated habits, very much against
her fathers will, and few days ago she and
her father suddenly disappeared, and nothing
was heard of either until the finding of the
girls remains. Since then the general i'm
preston is that her father. in fit of despera-
ton, bound her and threw her into the river,
and afterward browne himself or else ran
away. Although no traces of the fathers
body has been found, it is generally believed
that he has committed suicide, as he had
often been heard to say that unless his
daughter discontinued the company of Todd
he would kill himself. There were no evi
dences of violence upon the person of the de-
ceased, except the cords which bound her
hands and feet. The body looked as though
1t had been in the water about a week.
When found, it was lodged on some drift
wood against the bank. Further develop
mats will be made to morrow or next day.

her hand on the knee of an elderly gen.
tleman who occupied the seat next to her.
When he got home he accused her of trying
to infatuate everybody, and made speclhc

His jealousy, by all accounts, amounts al
most to a frenzy. Walking with MN IN

that he had been kind to her. The letter,
she SAYS, along with other assurances, satls-
fed her, and their pledge was renewed. The
story of the elopement would be long one.

FRIDAY,
THE COST OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

THE COST OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
When the tax paying people contemplate
the cost of public buildings they will be
amazed and surprised that the government
is not bankrupt. The New York Herald has
an article of two columns in length in regard
to the expenditures on public buildings,
which is full of interest, and from which we
condense the following facts. The massive
and imposing postotfice building in New
York city, now substantially completed, has
cost the United States government from first
to last a little over $9,000,000. The appro-
priations began as long ago as 1866; but it
was not till 1870 that there was sufficient
money appropriated to justify beginning OPP
erations. Over 100000 were paid to the
city for the site in City nall square. Nearly
all the larger cities, following the example OF
New York, have obtained from the general
government appropriations for the con-
struction of large and expensive build
ings, for the accommodation of their
postoffices and United States courts. The
Chicago postofice heads the list. Its
total appropriations are $5,675,000 The
site alone cost 81, 100000. There was appro-
priated in March last $685., 900 t. complete
the building, which sum is included in the
above total. st. Louis follows close after
Chicago, having obtained appropriations for
its postofiice to the amount of 5000, 0O0o.
This will not complete the Building, however,
and as the site cost but one-thlrd of the
amount paid in Chicago, it would appear that
st. Louis intended to surpass its rival in the
matter of postofice building. Boston has
received $4,654,000 for its new postofice,
and Philadelphia 81, $4,000 In each case,
additional appropriations will be needed to
complete the building. The site in Boston
cost $1,329 900; that IN Philadelphia,
81 ,49l 200. The new Cincinnati postofice
has had appropriations amounting to
$4,100,000, and will need more for its COM
petion. There have been appropriated for
the new postofice in New Orleans,
SLIT, 900; for the one in Charleston,
South Carolina, s698,0OO; for the one in
Hartford Connecticut, 1875, 900; for the one
in Trenton, New Jersey, $404, 900; for the
United States appraisers building In San
Francisco, SS05, 900; for the site of the pio-
posed new postofice in Plttsburg, Pennsyl-
vania. $500, COO; for the postoffice in Albany,
New York, $445,0O0; in Fall River, Massa.
chusetts, $4,000; in Utica. New York
1926, 600; in Raleigh, North Carolina, 1885,.
600; in Evansville, Indiana, $3l5,000; in
CoviDgtOn, Kentucky. 1906, 600; In sNash-
vile, Tennessee, 1925, 900 and fer the site
and building for the uses of the bureau Of
engraving ard printing, in Washington, Dis.
trict of Columbia, 1927, 500. This latter
amount was not new appropriation, but was
transferred to this purpose from an unex'
pended balance of the appropriation for the
last fiscal year-there having been a saving
of 1858, 900 out of the $500, 900 appropriated
for printing illegal tenders for that year.

are turned against the blacks, who in Kansas,
find no free lards, no free mules, no free bacon
and corr, no hand of plenty held out to them;
but in place of that a cold reception, actual
information that they are not wanted. And
when they hire, buy or bargain in any way,
they find close calculations, people bent on
looking out for number one, and no one to
look out for the negro but the negro himself.
All this will finally get Through the Negroes
head; then as he can, he will struggle back
to his old home; few only, perhaps, will ever
get there, but the real state of things will at
last get to the south, when the exodus will
end. All this trouble has been brought upon
the colored race by the Republicans. 1t is for
the purpose of colonizing the colored vote
into two or three doubtful States for 1850.
Thousands and thousands OF circulars have
been sent to the poor Ignorant black man In
the south telling him if he goes into Kansas
the government will give the head of each
family one hundred and sixty acres of land,
besides loaning him a sufficient amount OF
money to buy horses, cattle and farming
utensils. That in the north no distinction
exists between whites and blacks, and that
they will be recognized in society the same
as the white man. The poor colored man
had been badly fooled uoder carpetbag rule,
and it became necessary to hold out extra
inducements in order again to make
him a willing tool to accomplish party
ends. Such. being the origin of this unfortu-
nate move of the black man it is most in
famous treatment of the confding people.
But the design has been deeply laid. Kansas
is by no means the objective point. There is
no danger of that State. 1t is sure for the
Republicansin 1880. Ohio and Indiana are
the States, one or both os which are necessa-
ry to the success of that party. 1t would
not do to pour into those States thousands of
black voters just at this time; the purpose
would readily be seen, but at first push them
into Kansas. The white settlers will soon
begin to howl worse than California does
about John Chinaman, but the exit has been
commenced and they can readily be turned
into Ohio and Indiana, where their votes

TREATING JUDAS AS BEFORE.

This ends what know from personal OBJ
servation of the Penitentes. / have asked
many Mexicans for information respecting
them, but the invariable answer is, 81 don't
know" Old American residents of this
country, some of them Catholics, tell me, In
substance, this: The Penltentes have com
mandate to each lodge, and to him the mem
beIs confess their sins. lie does not impose
any penance, but intimates to each in some
way how much he owes the Almighty be-
cause of his transgressions, and leaves it to
the conscience of each to punish himself as
be sees fit. This punishment is genera ly in
flcted during Lent. but more particularly on
Good Friday and the days before and after.
These are the only days on which there are
any public exhibitions. Flogging is most
frequently performed with cactus, but some
times with whips, leather straps or sticks.
Those who are good enough do not irfiict
any punishment upon themselves. They are
called apostolos. Members may lay up
stores of expiation, and frequently do so, in
order that, if they die suddenly, they
MAY GO STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN,
without being compelled to endure the fires
of purgatory. Those who die under their
self-inaicted fortunes go at once to heaven,
of course. 1t is said that many do die, and
1t was openly announced in local pager
that two died in that manner last year. 1t is
certain that two prominent members of the
order we're buried on Easter Sunday. But,
as the lodge-door closes on all the secrets of
the order, little can be learned. A Catholic of
credibility informs me that at Iona del Santa
Cruz (the Hill of the Holy Cross, in New
Mexico, he saw a Penitente carry an immense
cross up the hill, and that the effort killed
him-he died on the spot. Tne Catholic
clergy oppose the whole business, and last
year Father Pinto, the parish priest at 1'rin-
dad, preached very strongly against it. l
cannot learn, however, that the Penitentes
are considered any worse SONS of the church
than others. The order exercises
