talking with them he saw Henry KNAPP
penberger pass. He then induced the
children to go further into the cornfield
! and while the eldest was walking in
front Of him, he shot her with 22-cal'
ibre ball. and when she turned around
he shot her with 32-calbre ball, kill
ling her instantly. Then the smallest
girl started to run, when he followed
and caught her; she begged so hard for
him to let her go that he says he came
very near allowing her to do SO. He
did let her 90, but knowing she would
tell, he followed and caught her again;
threw her down, and cut her throat.
1t was fifteen or twenty minutes after
Knappenberger passed before he shot
the eldest girl. Afterkilling the young
est girl, he went back to his first victim
and outraged her person, and then mu-
tiliated her person to create the impress
sion it was the deed of q crazy man.
He relates that the eldest girlsaid moth.
ing after he shot her and that he held
his hand over the mouth of the youngest
to prevent her cries being heard He
says that after all these horrible occur
rences, ne went to the creek and washed
his hands, threw his knife in the stream,
and went home. When the father of
the girls came to his house inquiring for
them be wanted to go and help search
for them, but his relatives would not
allow him, as they thought he was
i'll. The fend declares he was forced
to confess, owing to the circumstantial
manner that Henry Knappenberger had
accused him Of the crime.

The Prohibition Amendment to the
Constitution was carried in Maine by a
large majority. Under this amend
ment, the manufacture, sale or impor.
tation OF spirituous, malt or vinous
liquors is prohibited, under penalties to
be prescribed by the Legislature.
Whether farmers are to be prohibited
from making cider by this amendment
is not stated, but as hard cider is held
to be an intoxicant, it is doubtless in.
cluded in the prescribed liquids.

RAISING CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

Both political parties are short of
campaign funds. The Republicans have
the advantage of having one hundred
thousand Federal office holders to assess,
while the Democrats have to rely ex
clusively on contributions from private
citizens. The Civil Service Act is in
terfering to some extent with the col
lection of assessments from Postmasters
and Government clerks and employees,
as under its provisions it is criminal
offense to force them to pay political
assessments by threats of dismissal, but
they have the privilege of making vol
untary contributions to the campaign
fund. Everybody in the employ Of the
Government, from the civilians en-
ployed at military posts and navy
yards to the chief clerks in the Depart
ments, have been asked to contribute
in proportion to their salaries, for
money to be used at the November
election. As it is a violation of the
spirit, if not the letter, of the Civil
Service Act, to comply with this re-
quest, the amount collected from Gov
eminent clerks and employees has been
much less than usual, and, according to
a dispatch from Washington, a new
plan has been devised to make them
contribute more literally. This plan
has come to light through letter ad-
dressed by one of the clerks to Com
missioner Eaton, of the Civil Service.
The scheme is to request the clerks to
join a Estate Association" the mem.
bership to be composed of the employees
and officers of the Departments. The
request is accompanied by a statement
that, upon the recommendation of the
Executive Committee. the Association
voted to amend the constitution of the
organization, by making the member
ship dues for two years, that is until
the next election, $65, payable in ad.
vance, it being understood that the
dues are to be used in convincing voters,
who are susceptible to coin influences,
that 1t is best to keep one party in
power forever, regardless of its extra.-
agance and corruption.
A clerk who received one OF these
requests, asks Commissioner Eaton's
advice, which is given to the effect that
If the money thus collected is used for
political purposes, the transaction will
constitute such violation of the Civil
Service law as will subject all persons
concerned in it to the penalty of that
law.
Mr.. Eaton's letter is very long and
explanatory of the law, and, after ar.
guing that the attempted evasion of the
Civil Service is very thoroughly dis
guised by the originators of the Estate
Association" scheme, with sos dues
payable in advance, he advises Govern.
ment clerks and employees to not per.
init themselves to be frightened into
contributing money to campaign funds
with the hope that by so doing their
tenure of office will be extended.
