MURDER CONFESSED.
A Father Killed by His Two Sons and an
AccOmpliCe.

MOUNTAIN GROVE, Mo, May 26.-On
Sunday morning, Swain Anderson, q
wealthy farmer of this county, was
found murdered one and a half miles
north of this town. He attended the
Masonic Lodge Saturday night, leav-
ing the hall about 1890 A. NJ, and
started for his home afoot, two and q
half miles north of town. He was
found Sunday morning lying on his
back, shot in the throat and
breast. Yesterday, during the coro-
ner's inquest, two sons 1.-THE deceased,
Ed. and Henry Anderson and a COM
panion named Ewing Sanders con-
fessed to the crime. Sanders COMES
sion is as follows: The plan was laid
about two months ago. Ed. came to
where I was at work in the field and
proposed that | help him kill the old
man. [ said [ did not like to, but
then and afterwards he kept persuad-
ing me, and finally yielded. 1t was
my gun-a muzzle-loader. [ got the
ammunition last Wednesday night.
hid the gun about 300
yards from where he was shot,
and we got it about II O'Clock at
night and waited for him. He came
along between / and 2 O'Clock, walk
ing fast, and unconscious of danger.
Ed. lifted the gun and fired, and Mr..
Anderson dropped and instantly ex-
pired. The confessions of the broth
ers are Identical with that of Sanders,
except as to who did the shooting, each
accusing the other. There was wild
talk last night of lynching the three
men, but the sheriff succeeded in con-
veying them to the jail at Springfield
before the mob could congregate.

The White Lady Expected.
From the Boston Record.

FROM Une Boston Record.
The White Lady of the Hohenzoll-
erns is so definitely expected in Berlin
this year that it isgrea,tly to be feared
the Emperor William may yet be
scared to death by one of his own do
mestics. 1t is affirmed that the aged
monarch has a hearty respect for his
ancestral ghost and does not at all care
to have her celebrate the anniversary
of her first appearance by a'visit to
him, for this Hohenzellern ghost never
pays call to any of her house except
as q sign of death and disaster. She
is supposed to be therestless Countess
Kunigunda, who murdered ner own
children four hundred years ago in the
old castle at Bayreuth. She appeared
to Napoleon when he stopped at the
castle in May, 1912, on his way to
Russia, and at various times has fa-
vored people of high degree with one of
her appalling visitations. The fact
that this is her four hundreth year is
making a good many loyal Germans O.
little nervous, although on the whole
it would hardly do Kaiser Wilhelm to
lay down the scepter without having
received q visit from this dignifed
scion of ghOstOcracY.

MADISON, Wis, May pa prom
inent official of an Eastern fire ill.,
surance company made the remark
to me, the other day, that sit would
well pay the fire companies from other
states and countries to wholly with
draw from Wisconsin; it's a losing
business with u5, and getting worse
every year,
l had been for years synopsiz-
ing for the general newspaper
reader the reports of Insurance
Commissioner Spooner, in per-
functory sort of way, and knowl-
edge of such a, serious state of
affairs had never before dawned upon
me. But an investigation OF the facts
in the case fully bears out the lnsur-
ance mans statement. The compa-
MES are losing money very rapidly IN
this commonwealth, and yet the rates
are nearly double what they are IN
many Eastern states. You ask them
surance men for the cause, and they
will all tell you that our valued pol

a Convicted Lieutenant of Police Tells
the Story of His Crookedness.
ST. Louis, Mo-, May 25.-D. J.
CAVITY, ex-city clerk, and T. A. CAVITY,
ex-city recorder, of East ST. Louis,
are now on trial at Belleville, H.,
charged with misrepresentation of the
city's funds and the robbery of the
safe in the treasurer's Office. The
crimes are supposed to have been
committed about two years ago, and
in the meantime, Thomas Duffy, q
lieutenant Of police, has been tried
and convicted of the latter offense,
and Is now serving q sentence of five
years in the penitentiary. During the
proceedings in the court, yesterday,
Duffy was placed on the witness stand
and made confession, which, if it
shall remain mistaken by subsequent
testimony, will undoubtedly convict
the CAVITY brothers. Duffy testified
substantially as follows: Gin March,
1884, d. j. Canty and witness were in
Shea's saloon In East st. Louis, when
CAVITY remarked that he had lost
money at poker, and he wished some
one would blow the market-house to
HI. The next day he said If / and
another man would blow the safe open
we could make a good haul. CAVITY
promised to have everything put in fit
for working the job. Duffy then got
Clark and Egan, two of his subordi-
mates, and so informed CAVITY. He
told witness when things were ready
to let his brother Tim know. first
consulted Egan and he got man.
At our last meeting CAVITY told
me to get into the vault,
and we could find the safe
door unlocked. The first time
saw CAVITY after the robbery he told
me to keep from getting drunk and
talking, and if got in any trouble he
would back me up" When witness
was arrested he told that Halloran and
Mayor Bowman had offered $500 to
him if he would implicate the Cantys,
but did not take the contract; no one
offered to secure his release or decrease
his term of imprisonment in the peni-
tertiary for testifying against anyone;
witness told Clark and Egan that Can
ty had said there was no danger to be
apprehended; when arrested CAVITY
told him not to squeal, and he would
come out all right. D. J. CAVITY was
put on the stand and denied each de-
tail of the above confession.

Escaped by Marrying.

David Van Dyke of Mason, O., 70
years old, owns q house and lot, and
that's all; and owes large debt con-
tracted by going security for a friend.
AS long as Mrs. Van Dyke lived the
house and lot could not be attached
for the debt, under the homestead ex-
emption law. But Mrs. Van Dyke
died short time ago, and suit was at
once brought against the widower and
the sheriff advertised the property for
sale. Under the law Van Dyke could
not now claim homestead, as his
wife had died, and he had no minor
children or unmarried daughter living
with him. The only way of escape
was to marry again, he thought, and
so he went to Cincinnati and called
on several women before he found one
to suit him. At last he hit on Miss
May Jones, who was willing, and they
were married the 9th of last month.
That was but g. few days before the
day fixed for the sale, and the pro-
ceedings in execution we're stopped at
once. The case was then argued in
the common pleas court, and the
judge has just decided that it was not
necessary that Van Dyke should have
been q married man at the time of
the levy on the property, but that it
was sufficient to entitle him to have
the homestead exemption by becom-
ing the head of family any time be-
fore the actual sale.

Mystery of the Private Harp.

Few persons, perhaps, are aware
that they possess q pair of harps.
They are called the organs of Corti,
after their discoverer, and are located
in the ear. They are estimated to have
$500 strings, being, OF course, micro
scopic and varying in length from L
500 to 1900 of an inch. If you hold
a properly-tuned violin near a piano
when the E string isstruck the E violin
string will vibrate and sound too; so
with all the rest. Now, the $500
strings of the human ear harp
have such q wide compass that
any appreciable sound in the
universe has the corresponding
tone string, and the sound is
conveyed through the connecting
flament to the auditory nerve, thence
to the sensorium, and thus a knowl-
edge of the sound is received by the
mind.

prefers an outside company. Par
ticularly does he avoid the town in

900 per annum. The system is q
mutual assessment one. The proper
ty insured is under the scrutinizing eye
OF every member, and suspicious
characters are not admitted. 1t Is
very rare that suspicion ever attaches
to any Of the losses. But the town
companies have necessarily but q linn
tied scope.
One effect of this spirit of incen-
diarism must necessarily be the with
drawing of much business from worthy
home companies. The viciously-dls-
posed who now select the outside con-
Germs, and oblige them to take the
moral hazard, would doubtless insure

placed on arson, and goodly portion
of this custom would of course go to
the home concerns.
THE VALUED POLICY LAW
now obtains in several states. Wis
consin set the example for most OF
them. The Rowland law in Ohio is
almost an exact transcript of our own.
New York and New Hampshire, among
others, also have the law. In New
Hampshire, it will be remembered, the
outside companies withdrew from the
state altogether; which proves a
bonanza, by the way, to the home
companies, the only ones left in the
field, and they were able to stand the
law because, as before stated, of the
opprobrium attaching to the cheating
of domestic concerns.
Wisconsin is said to be the only
state in the Northwest in which the
companies are losing money and heart
this year. The returns from all our
neighbors we're satisfactory to the cor
porations operating in them, while
the rates were much lower.

He Has q Rabbit Eye.
from the Chicago Dispatch. !

From the Chicago Dispatch.J
A successful and delicate operation
on the eye was performed at the coun-
ty hospital recently that will command
the attention of men of science as well
as the medical fraternity of the world.
Not long ago a fireman was brought
to the institution to receive treatment
for an eye which had been wounded by
a splinter. The little piece of wood
had entered the corner of the right eye
and tore out the inner canthus, so
that the patient always bore the ap-
pearance of looking at his nose with
the injured eye. The disease was called
internal strabismus. DR.. Smith, of
the hospital staff, cut the contraction
and dissected it out, leaving the space
of the mucous membrane of the eye,
about the size of q nickel, bare. He
then took a piece of the mucous mem
brane from the eye of a rabbit and
placed it where the dissection had &C.
Cured. The wound healed and the
membrane from the eye of the rabbit
grew to muscles where it was placed.
The man now has full control of his
eye and perfect sight.

desquamation is complete-with g.
mixture of one ounce CT oatmeal to
one pint of boiling water; the solution
to be made fresh every day and used
tepld, or at such temperature as may
be comfortably borne by the back of
the finger. My reason for using this is
that the gluten in it sticks the scales
to each other and to thesurface of the
body, thus allowing of their being re-
moved from one sponging to another,
without the ordinary risk of injecting
either atmosphere or clothes, and
greatly lessening the risk of spreading
the disease. Secondly, the gluten fills
up the cracks of thenew skin, and pro-
tects it from the cold, as, patch by
patch it becomes bare, and thus, to
say the least, greatly lessons the risk
OF dropsy which so often follows upon
this disease"

The last stage OF scarlet fever, that

WARNING RAILROADS.
Reported Indirect Cuts In the Cattle
Tariff from So. Louis.


ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, May 28.-An old way
OF evading letter of agreements to
maintain tariff, it is alleged, has been
successfully put in practice in billing
live stock from East ST. Louis to
Atlantic coast points. 1t is said the
Chicago & Alton took large shipments
of cattle in 34-foot cars billed at 90
600 pounds while in fact shippers were
allowed to put into each car all
they were willing to risk, which
would ordinarily amount to about
5000 and sometimes 5000 pounds
over weight, and which is equivalent
to a very deep cut IN the agreed tariff.
The Wabash is also charged with en-
ploying the same tactics IN the matter
of a round lot of hogs. The cause of
it all, tits alleged, is the determination
OF the Vandalia to open live stock
route between st. Louis and Chicago
via its own line and the Illinois Cen
trail, which the Wabash and Chicago
q Alton claim it has no right to do. It
is thought that the fight will extend to
East-bound dead freight and possibly
involve all the lines in the Central
Traffic Association.
