Today at Springfield, at high noon, the
tAiltyfourth general assembly of Illinois
convened for business. The members
elect first take the oath of Office, and then
proceed to elect officers. In the senate the
offices to be filled are president pro TEN,
a secretary and two assistants, posts
master and one assistant; in the house, a
speaker a chief clerk and two assistants
door keeper and three assistants, post
master and one assistant Later, when
there is work for Them enrolling and ems
crossing clerks are to be elected; also
clerks OF committees, policemen and
pages. Each presiding officer is entitled
to a secretary. An important and cons
plicated question to he decided before any
business is the election of speaker.
The democrats and republicans both
held their caucuses last evening Hon.
E. L, Cronkrite, of Freeport Stephenson
county and Hon. f. NJ. Haines, of Wau-
kegan, were the democratic candidates for
speaker. On the first ballot Mr.. Cronk-
rite received 80 votes and Mr.. Haines SO,
and Mr. Cronkrite was declared the party
nominee. This virtually settles the
speakership contest, although there were
rumors circulated this morning that Mr.
Haines would join the republicans. A
fear that he would do so was the main
reason for the hearty support accorded
him, for Mr. Cronkrite is the rec
ognized leader of the house on the
democrat side, and is a man OF great pop
ularity. Although spirited and unre-
lenting adversary to the republicans, we
have no hesitation in saying that no other
democrat in the house commands more
respect than does Mr. Cronkrite. With
II Keen sense of right ana justice, and a
Tesolute will to sustain his convictions.
Mr. Cronkritc's ratings on all questions
which will come before the honorable
body over which it seems he is to preside
will he fraught with a spirit of candoi
that cannot fail but be appreciated. II
his selection the democrats of Illinois will
honor one Of her nobIest sons. and the
republicans VII find themselves treated
with courtesy and respect, seldom ac-
corded an opposition party, especially
when that party has previously abused
all rules Of fairness.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. THE Worlds ex-
position is in serious financial distress The
treasury is empty and creditors clamorous,
and from threats made it is reasonable to
expect that the whole business will soon be
in the hands of receiver Mr.. Currier, pro-
prietor of Curriers' band, of Cincinnati,
gave his last concert Monday evening,
and says the band will leave for
home Wednesday because be has not
received a cent for three weeks,
and that Maj Burke had told
him there was no money for anybody
1t is said that Dudley Coleman. the iron
manufacturer, who has the contract for
steam pipes and shafting has a claim for
ST., 900, and refuses to go on with the work
until he has Il payment Many other con
tractors are said to be in a similar position
ard work on the exposition is almost at a
stapdstill Maj Burke is very reticeut. He
says the exposition is S209, 900 in debt and
pressed for money, but that members OF the
board of management have agreed to give
additional suleciSesions TO tide over the
difficulty. He refuses to say anything regard
ing the trouble with Currier He said the
management had no present intention OF

CHASTITY FIND ON THE LIME OF A
WESTERN RAILWAY.
Fourteen Dead Bodies Scattered Along
the Road, Victims of the Blizzard
Texas hallway Horror Seven
Killed, sixteen Wounded.

Sioux City, Iowa, Jan. News has been
received here, which is believed to be re-
liable that the bodies of fourteen men have
been found between a point twenty -Rine
miles west of Valentine, Neb., and Cor ION
City, Neb., seventy miles west. Tie
bodies were found along and near
the new railroad grade. The desd
men were victims of the recent terrible biz
zard and are supposed to have been settlers
on their way in for supplies from claims
which they have been locating near the line
of the new road to be built next season A
previous report stated that seven bodies hal
been found, and this last report is generally
believed, though it is hoped it may prove to
be greatly oxaggerated.

EVEN The CHASTITY, CORY crime OF muir
der hath its curiosities. In coming the
crimson record of the year defunct, it is
astonishing to note what trifling and
grotesque circumstances may provoke
the most horrible of crimes. During the
year 1894 a son killed his father in
quarrel about chopping wood. A daugh
ter killed her mother because she wouli
would not allow her to go TO a ball. A
boy of 70 killed playmate in quarrel ov-
err marbles, and the same cause induced
boy of IS to kill another A school boy
9 years Of age stabbed another to get
possession af a kite Two boys of IS
killed each other on account of jealousy.
One boy killed another because he did
not pitch ball right A boy of II killed
a boy OF IS because he PERSISTED in going
hunting with him. A boy of 1G killed a
girl of 10 because he was jealous of her.
Two girls, ~ and 10, respectively, muir
dered their brother of with sticks be .
cause they did not want him to live any
longer. A boy of IA, out Of pure sava
gerry fired into a crowd of his associates
and killed two of them. A boy Of 16
tried to kill boy Of IS because he would
not contribute three cents toward polls
tical bonfire, and was killed himself A
boy of II was induced to kill another af>
ter reading a dime novel A boy of IA
killed his sister, baby, by holding her
on red hot stove. The youngest muir
derers were two children of and 7, who
deliberately killed their brother of 8, be
cause they were tired of him. More than
100 murders were the result Of quarrels
over cards. One man killed two others
because they killed his dog. Two men
quarreled over doctors bill and one kill
ed the other. Four women Quarrcled
over the ownership of q chicken and one
of them was killed. In Chicago a work
man killed his employer for a dollar.
Two men quarreled about the ownership
OF so cents and one killed the other, and
one man killed another because he would
not lend him % cents. One brother kill
ed another because the latter's dog killed
his sheep. Two women quarreled about
the right to use an oven and one killed
the other A father killed his son be-
cause he would not shoot bis dog. A
blind man killed a cripple because ht
would not divide his money with him
A drunken man killed his wife by beating
her with the body of her dead child An
other man in liquor poured kerosene ov'
er his wife and set her on fire. A physi
clan, fearing poverty, killed his four chill
dren and himself, and his wife went in
sane. One man shot another because thu
lattcr's dog bit his dog. A man and hi
wife threw coal oil over the latter's siste
and burned her to death One brother
insane from faith curing, killed another
and man killed himself and his daugh
ter because she compelled him to eat Der
ries. And so the CHASTITY record runs
