could have prolonged the war year
beyond the time that it did finally Gloss
would probably have exhausted thu

Paramour and Murder in Wisconsin,.

Marshfielu Wis, Special: The little
village OF Loyal, in Clark county, fifty
miles from this city, is in state OF great
excitement over a murder. Daniel Ellis.
vell-to-do farmer, about forty years
OF age, and with his family and invalid
wife lives near Loyal Ellis has always
borne good reputation and owns consid-
cradle property. Two years ago Henry
Wright, a well known resident of Marsh
field, moved to Loyal ami rented farm OF
Ellis, living in one OF Ellis houses. Wright 3
wife is prepossessing woman OF about
thirty years OF age, and comes OF a good
family, her parents living near West
Bend, Washington county. For several
months there have been suspicious among
the neghbors that Ellis and Mrs,
Wright were criminally intimate, aud their
Jason had become noted A few DAYS
ago Wright returned and ate a hearty
supper prepared by the wife, and was sud.
denly taken with violent pains and cramps,
His agony was fearful and lasted until
morning, when he died during u violent
spasm, his only attendants being Mrs.
Wright and Ellis. Ellis protests his inno-
cence, but Mrs. Wright has confessed. The
woman's statement is:
She and Ellis had been intimate for over
year and a half. She was to kill her hus.
band with poison, and after he was dead
and buried, Ellis was to murder his wife in
the same way, and then, after sufficient
time, the partners in the crime were to be
married. She gave her husband a dose
but 1T was too large and be threw it up
Then Ellis fixai dose for him that killed
him. He had been suffering two weeks
from the effects oil the first dose.

over half a million dollars, and consisting
OF Omaha real estate. This estate goes to

som, the intended bride OF President
Cleveland, was the favorite child OF Col.
Folsom, she will very likely receive the
bulk OF one-half OF the Folsom estate in

som and Mrs. Helen Ferris OF Omaha, and
young Ben Folsom, a lawyer OF Buffalo,

self like the mustard seed in the para

breweries in this country, and they
sold last year over 10000, 900 bar
rels of malt liquors. OF this, New
York and Brooklyn contributed near
quarter. The next largest pro-
ducers are Milwaukee, st. Louis, Gin

The grand jury for the May term OF the
criminal court at Chicago was summoned
to appear before Judge Rogers. The Judge
made his charge, saying:
We hear a good deal lately OF what con-
stitutes freedom ofspeech. There is no con-
stitutional right for men to assemble and
engage in wild harangues and incendiary
speeches. These men must be held respon-
sible for what they incite Others to do. 1t
is only your province to deal with crimes,
with acts that have been committed.
Nevertheless, the history OF the last few
days will make it necessary for
me to avert to other matters than
the actual commission OF crime.
ii men are melted to riot, arson and other
unlawful acts, the men responsible for this
may be held answerable for the results.
The principles of law ineulcate the doc
trines That men who teach riot, who incite
unlawful gatherings to incendiary acts are
responsible for the effect OF these rantings.
red flag is public nuisance. 1t is an
emblem that no quarter will be given. The
police have right to suppress these people
to prevent the commission OF crime. They
have the right to quel all such disturbance
and the police and the chief magistrate OF
the city did their duty.
