Trying to Steal "a Mill.

Last Sunday morning three men from
Bay City arrived at Wolverine and al
once proceeded to the single mill here
tofore owned and run by W. Fl. Obear
They brought with them the proper
tools and commenced Sundays work
by taking the machinery out from the
mill and placing it upon cars to be sent
to Bay City. Obear saw what was up
and Immediately stopped the work,
whereupon the man having the dirty
work in charge, offered 500 to q num-
Der OF men if they would put the ma
chinery on tho cars, and work was COM
menced. Obear then mounted a horse
and rode to Indian River where he en-
plOyed some men with hand ear who
brought him to Cheboygan where he
consulted with his attorney. Arrange
ments were made with Sheriff Haring-
ton who was soon on the handcar and on
his way to the battle6 I'D where he ar
rived about z o'clock p. m. much to the
surprise of the enemy. Armed with a
chattsl mortgage upon the machinery
in question, he planted himself on the
car which was nearly loaded, and order.
cd work stopped, but the Bay City boss
told the men TO 60 on with the work,
but when the Shsriff's handouts came
in sight the argument was too strong
and no one was ready to proceed. The
"boss" himself wilted and concluded it
was not best to fool with our sheriff.
The property was left in the hands of an
officer at Wolverine and Mr.. Harm gton
returned to Cheboygan next morning.
The plan seemed to be to get the prop
erty away on Sunday. as arrangements
had been made to have the cars attached
to the passenger train at night, and the
legal owner would be obliged to 90 to
Bay City to get his property and do the
fighting In the courts there, but the
plan failed. Other attempts have been
made since to get the property but with
no success. Tuesday night one man
who appeared to be leader was brought
to Chsboygan under arrest by the VOL
VERNE officer but upon promises made
that he would do nothing more in the
matter he was released. A Mr.. A. G.
of Bay Cicy claims to have some
interest In the property and was there
fore proceeding to take 1t but his legal
interest must beIrathsr small when he
Is obliged to steal the property on Sun
day in order to sustain it.

IN MRMoRIANI.

A profound gloom was spread over our
whole community on Monday morning
last when the scarcely unexpected an
nouncement was made that in the earlier
hours Of the morning (about one o'clock)
the spirit Of Mrs. Alice Maud, wife Of
VIM. Macarthur, Esq, of this village, had
passed over the dark river to the glory
land beyond.
For ten years she had home In our
midst; and such a home. Always the
scene Of kindly hospitality and generous
welcome. Always (sysn in her late
years of failing healthy guided and d.
reetsd with a care. prudence and wisdom
seldom witnessed.
Who're the loved ones OF her own fam
lily and kindred. and the stranger from
afar, were alike made to feel ut home
while there sojourning, and prompted to
bless its roof tree and threshold a. they
went on their way. On that homo tho
cloud Of bereavement rests.
Mrs. Macarthur was 4 lifelong COM
municant of the Episcopal church. We
feel that we do no injustice to others,
and we are sure we shall wound the
feelings of none whom we say that to her
earnsstness and zeal AID generous Civ
ing the congregation of st. james is
largely indebted for the possession of its
beautiful little house of prayer, and the
comfortable home for its minister.
Her Christian loving kindness was not
restricted to the church of her affection,
but every enterprise locking toward be-
nevOlent deeds and charitable acts found
her ready co-worksr. The number and
amount of her kindly gifts to those de-
serving assistance, AZ well as her aims
deeds to the suffering poor, were I'M
counted. and many Of them unknown,
save to the Eye that sseth all.
Such Christian woman. neighbor
and friend, mother and wife has gone
from our midst, leaving void that sad
dsns all hearts among us.
Mrs. Macarthur was the daughter of
the late Charles f. Horne, Esq, of Allie.
gany county, New York, and sister of
Mr.. Philip Horne, Of Cheboygan. She
was born in Amity, Allsgany county, N.
Y, September 9Th, 1888, and was married
to Mr.. VIM. Macarthur at Phillipsvills. in
the same state. July I'd, 1851, and after
spending few years in different locali-
ties In western New York. mainly at
Portagsville, Wyoming county, and
Oneida, she resided in Palmyra and
Rochester, N. Y, and Chicago, Ill. She
came to reside here in 1873, and had her
home in our midst until the day of her
death. Her husband and two adopted
children, Mrs. Charles Moald and VIM.
Jr., SURVIVE her.
The funeral service was in st. James
church yesterday afternoon. The re-
mains (watchsd by loving frieAds) re-
NAMED in that beautiful little church
she loved so we'll until this morning,
when they were carried to Palmyra, N.
Y. for burial in the family lot beside
the sleeping Dust Of her infant children.
We tender the bersaved family the
sympathy of our entire community.

A LnnR IN MEW EN0LA.-

a LOOK At NEW ENGLAND,
New York Sun: Vermont is. the only
New England state which the Democrats
have never carried since the Republican
party was foun led. 1t was much the
same in the old Wing days The Dem
Ocrats could make but little impression
upon it. This present year 1t was sup
posed to be the abode of an unusual
amount of Republican discomfort on
account of the nomination of Mr.. Blaine
who had been sharply antagonized at
Chicago by the friends of Senator Ed
munds. 1t was generally believed that
this feeling would manifest itself
at the September election in a very
serious reduction of The usual Republic.

ItY is not as heavy as it has sometimes
been in September of presidential years,
1t is fairly up toward the average, and
shows which way the tide is setting in
New England
How different Is the prospect of the
Democracy, at this stage of the cam
paign, from what it would have been
If the Chicago convention had nom
mated worthy candidate who could
have aroused enthusiasm among
the peoplel Four years ago, the Re-
publicans lost Name, in September, by
q majority OF 200. With any honored
and tried Democratic statesman at the
head of the national ticket, the Demo
Gratis would have shaken Republican
supremacy In Maine next week in spite
of Blaine. Now it will be taken out of
the hands Of the Democracy, in spite of
everything.
Mr.. Tilden carried Connecticut in
1876. With such leader as Tilden, it
would be captured next November by
overwhelming odds. The once con-
fident Independents are rapidly crumb-
ling away, and the state is hope
lessly lost to Cleveland. With Thurman
at the head OF the column, and the Ohio
platform, New Hampshire would also
be good fighting ground with the chances
inclining steadily toward the Democrats;
while even the Republicans of Massa-

Butler would be stumping the state for

The Confession of the Murderer of til

The Confession OF the Murderer of the
Mclaughlin Girls.
SAVANNAH. No, Sept. 9.-OIiYer
Bstemsn, in his confession as to the kill
ing Of the young Mclaughlin girls, says
he was at home when the girls
went there. He saw them 60 into the
woods to pick hazlenuts, and followed
them within fifteen minutes afterwards.
They went near The edge of the corn
field when he came up with them.
While talking with them he saw Henry
Knappenbergsr. He then induced the
children TO go further into the
cornfield and while the eldest was walk
ing in front OF him he shot her with a
22-caIiber ball, and when she turned
around shot her with a 32-caliber ball,
killing her instantly. 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 go, bat knowing she would tell,
he followed and caught her again, threw
her down and cut her throat 1t
was fifteen or twenty minutes
after Knsppenberger passed before he
shot the Oldest girl. Alter killing the
youngest girl he went back to his first
victim and outraged her person, and
then mutIlated her body. to create the
impression that 1t was the deed of a
crazy man. He maintains that the old
est girl said nothing alter he shot her,
and that he held his hand over the mouth
of the youngest TO prevent her
cries being heard. He says
after all these horrible occurrences
he went to the creek, washed his hands,
threw the knife in the stream and went
home. When the father of the girls came
to his house enquiring for them, he
wanted to go to help search for them,
but his relatives would not allow him, as
they thought he was i'll. The f1end de-
clares he was induced TO confess owing

: In assuming editorial charge OF THE
EnPoRIA NEws-in which / have pur-
chased q two-ihirds interest-It becomes
essential 20 present a brief outline of the
course TO be pursued by the paper under
It's new management.
II viii, hrst Of all, be the endeavor to
maintain the high standard of excel
lence TO which The NEWS has already
been brought. and 10 inAugurate im-
proYements wherever Improvements are
possible.
Mr.. II. p. MacLennan, who has been
80 long identified with the paper, and
who is so we'll and 30 favorsbly known
TO the community at large. still retains
his one-third intsrest In the office and
will continue as the business manager.
The paper will be DEVOTED TO the inter-
ests Of the city of Emporia. TO the county
OF Lyon and to the state of Kansas.
These are interests with which, from my
previous knowledge of Emporia and Its
people. 1 have long desired TO be identi-
fed. 1t is intended that they shall take
precedence Of all others, and that such
men and such measures as will best ad.
vance them, shall receive the strongest
Communications OF the paper.
In politics 1t will continue to advo-
cate the principles OF the Republican
parry party OF plogress-and to
give hearty support to It's nominees,
urging just administration OF political
affairs and giving 10 those politicians
who seek to form rings and combiDa-
tons tor personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT or
private gain through political chicanery,
the most strenuous opposition.
In municipal, county, state and ma
tional affairs, it Will champion the cause
of equal taxation Of all property inter.
es's, and oppose all combinations of
capital inImical to the people at large.
In the questions of the hour 1t will
sustain all measures OF real reform
and urge the passage of just laws and
their rigid enforcement.
Railroad, telegraph and telephone
companies, or other com blnations that
may be organized for the purpose of
mOnopolizing business and demanding
extoTtIonate rates with the object of
compelling the people to pay such com.
panies dividends on their waiered stock
thereby enrlching themselves at the
expense of farmers, merchants, me-
chanics and labOrers-wIlI receive spe-
cial attention, and be made the subjects
Of special articles.
The growth and progress of the City
OF Emporia within the past few
years has been almost phenomenal. AS
an educational and business center II is
unsurpassed by any other city in the
state N Kansas. and It's railroad facili.
ties are fully abreast with the times.
It's numerous churches; It's colleges
and schools; Its hotels and banks; its
opera houses, public water system and
street railroad ITS mercantile and agri-
cultural interests, and its ever increasing
volume of business attest the morality
and intelligence, the enterprise aud en-
ergY OF its citizens.
To join hands IN all such good works
and aid IN the establishment of others Of
like character, will be the effort of THE
News under its present management.
