bury, Neb., accompanied by her two little
daughters, Mabel and Grace, the former six
and the latter four years old, were on the
train en- route to Joliet. They had retired to
their berth in the sleeping Car, and were soon

to the third car, when the conductor met her.
He asked her where she was going. Receiv-
ing no reply, the fact dawned upon him that
she was asleep. He caught her by the arm
and woke her up, when she gazed about in

Now YORK WORTH
The detective population needs thinning
out About three private detectives TO
every married man and woman in the COM
munity would be safe proportion, and it
should not be allowed to run over that, for
the simple reason that when three-fourths
of the population undertake to detect each
other confusion ensues. 1t is a pretty safe
thing to say that the average private detec-
tive when put upon job is followed by two
other private detectives, who are instructed
to work him up. How many are on the
heels OF the last two official statistics do not
permit us to know. The sad prospect of an
entire community working up a job" on
itself should be delayed as long as possible,
ana yet ii the production of private detec-
tiyes goes on this is what we must come to.

DELIBERATE MURDER.
Tennesseean Kills a Lady Attendant of
His Sick Wife.

DOVER, Tenn, Dec. 30.-A murder was
committed near here yesterday morning
by Josiah Cook, who has been sick
several days with pneumonia. On Fri
day night his wife gave birth to a
child, and yesterday morning he sent
Tor Mrs. Glasgow, a near neighbor,
to come and dress the baby and administer
to the wants of his sick wife. Mrs. Glasgow
Immediately prepared a basket of food suita-
BILE for sick folks, and set out for Cooks
house. Mr.. Glasgow, who had business in
Dover, accompanied her as far as Cooks tell
ing her he would call for her as he returned.
lie had been in Dover about an hour when
the news OF his wife's murder reached him.
AN eyewitness of the murder says that
shortly after Mrs Glasgow arrived at Cooks
he began to abuse her with the
most opprobrious epithets, telling her she
mad come there to poison him
and charging that the basket of dainties she
had so kindly provided for him and his sick
wife was poisoned She assured him that
such was not the case, which seemed to en-
rage him the more, and without further warn
ing he jumped out of bed, seized his
gun and discharged its contents into his
would-be benefactress, killing her instantly
Immediately after the murder Cook put on
his clothes and left the house. Sheriff Buff
ford, with a posse of determined deputies,
went in hot pursuit and returned
just after dark with the MUIR
derer Cook, whom he captured near
Beaver Spring furnace. Cook is now safely
lodged in JAIL and will likely remain there
till court convenes next April. There are
some who think Cook is laboring under
temporary fit of insanity. This will prob
ably prevent his being lynched

Total Destruction of the Joliet Barb Wire
Works.

Works.
JOLIET, Dec. 29-The wire-drawing- mills
and the barb-wirefence factory of the Lam
bert & Bishop Wire-fence Company were
totally destroyed by fire tonight. As there
was no stove or heating apparatus where the
fire originated in the west end of the store
room, the conclusion that it was the work of
an incendiary is unavoidable. The mills and
machinery cost over 100000, and there was
probably that amount of material in it.
There was $50, 900 insurance on the building
and machinery, and $4,000 on stock and
material
The destruction OF these works, which have
not been running over nine months throws
