BY Miss CORNELIA BANCKER.

Rev. Father, beloved Sisters, kind Pa
rents and Friends. But few short mo
ments ago and it was our pleasing duty
to welcome you to our Exhibition. Now
it has fallen to my share to bid you, on
behalf Of myself and my fellow gra-
duates long good bye. Never again
shall We appear before you as school
girls,-that happy period of life has
passed for us-but We cannot quit forever
these familiar scenes, without thanking
the good Sisters Of Mercy for their I'M
wearying care Of US during those years,
for their patient, loving kindness, nor
without expressing hope that we have
50 far prOfted by their judicious course
OF training, their instruction religious
and secular, as to show ourselves not I'M
worthy Of the care so ungrudgingly bes-
towed. To you, Rev. Father, We offer
our sincere thanks for that thoughtful
kindness to your loving people which
prompted you to bring amongst us those
devoted Sisters. and thereby procure for
the children of your Parish the blessing
Of liberal useful, Catholic education.
And now dear companions Of our school
days with whom we have so long shared
both our lite joys and SORROWS we bid you
also farewell
Beloved Sisters and affectiOnate school
mates, once more farewell.

Waylaid by His Sons.
A Wealthy Missouri Farmer Murdered by
His Unnatural Offspring.

On Sunday morning Swain Anderson,
a wealthy and respected farmer Of Noun
tain Grove, NO., was found murdered
one and one half miles north Of here.
He attended the Masonic Lodge Satur-
day night, leaving the hall about 1890
a. m, and started for his home afoot, two
and one half miles north of town. He
was found Sunday morning lying on his
back, shot in the throat and breast. Yes
terday, during the coroner's inquest two
sons Of the deceased. Ed. and Harry An
derson, and companion. Ewing San
ders. confessed to the crime. Sanders
confession is as follows:
1.-The plan was laid about two months
ago. Ed. came to where / was at work
in the field and proposed that help him
kill the old man. said 1 did not like
to, but then and afterwards he kept per-
suading me and finally consented. It
was my gun. muzzle loader, with
which he was shot. got the ammuni-
ton last Wednesday night. l hid the
gun about 300 yards from where he was
shot. We got it about IL o'clock at
night and waited for him. He came
along between 1 and 2 o'clock, walking
fast and unconscious of danger. Ed lif-
ted the gun and fired and he dropped and
instantly expired"
The confessions Of the brothers are
identical with that Of Sanders, except as
to who did the shooting, each accusing
the other. There was a wild talk last
night Of lynching the three men, but the
sheriff succeeded in conveying them to
Jail at Springfield before the mob could
cOngregate.

"I'll give you this to marry me to
marry me right now"
All refused. most Of them never having
seen him before. He kept up hot hunt
for a wife about a month, proposing to
over 40 women from l6 to 81 years of
age. His offer was $1,000 to each and he
raised it to meet the appearance Of
each applicant, going as high as TO-
600.
At length he married Mrs. Pheum-
dance, giving her 5000 cash and trans
ferring to her name property valued at
5000 without consideration. The chill
dren then filed petition for conserva-
tor. Most Of the women were in court
to-day and a crowd Of hard listed
Weathersfeld farmers. It was shown
that since the petition, was filed Winsbip
had threatened to start for New York by
boat and jump overheard on the way;
that he had bought laudanum and got
the bottle to his lips; that he had threat
ened to kill his sons who live on the place
and had assaulted Charles, threatening
to brain him with spade. The attor-
ney for Winship confined his efforts to
showing that Winship knew enough to
begin planting his farm this spring.
The case for the petitioners was rested
and the cour adjourned to next We'd
nesday.
