Some weeks age Wheeling paper
printed conversation between its re-
porter and Judge Morrow. One para
graph from that conversation should
be passed, by word of mouth, from
farmer to farmer. 1t must be passed
from neighbor to neighbor because
the press and stump speakers will not
give it publicity. He said:
My county of Marion is highly fav-
ored by nature. Her people are as
hard working as any and economize
carefully. They should be very pros
porous, but / defy any one to name
dozen families who are out OF debt
and making clear money.
There are farmers in Jefferson
(whose wives and children work hard
er than any slaves and see less pleas
ure,) who perhaps make moderate
wages and clear two per cent. on their
investment, but we are certain that
take five years together and the aver
age farmer in this county has not
made any advancement. We cannot
be- mistaken about this matter. What
| is true of jefferson and Marion is true
of every other part of this state. A
few INSCRIPTIONS men have I" an III
side track which heightened, hon.
orable man would not use and these
few are accommodating money, but the
body of the people are going back
rather than making progress, and
property is rapidly concentrating in
the hands of a syndicate ofmillion'
aires.

against tn e Ring, it would be beaten

THE SMELL MURDER.
The Son of q Prominent Citizen of Chicago
Suspected.

cWSp6cCeu.
On the evening of the 18th the mys-
terry surrounding the murder of Amos j .
Smell, who was shot and killed by bur-
glar on the morning Of February 8 at
Chicago, was practically cleared up.
Although the assassin left very meager
clues behind him, the police have at
last succeeded in tracing the crime to
William B. TascOtt, the son Of pr0mi-
nent resident of the city. NoI until
Mrs. Wicks, the lady with whom Tascott
boarded for short time, revealed her
suspicious of her mysterious boarder
to the police, were their Efforts to
trace the murderer rewarded.
1t is known that Tascott, who
also goes under the alias of T. A. Gath
ford, Moore, Scott and Clark, hired a
room from Mrs. Ella B. Wicks, about
two weeks before the eventful night.
At the time he said he had business of
nature which compelled him to be out
nearly if not quite all night and his
pleasant manner allayed all suspicion.
she noticed that her handsome
boarder had disappeared and she
gained admission to his room to
dust the furniture. Piled up in pro-
miscuous heap on the floor and shelf of
a closet In the rooms she found silver
ware, jewelry. ETC., in profusion, and
instantly concluded that her roomer
was no more nor less than burglar,
and communicated her suspicious to the
police. A comp etc search of his apart
ments brought forth evidence enough
to convict Gascott of not only burg
larry but also of the murder of Mr..
Smell. What that evidence is the
police absolutely refuse to divulge, al
though they say that if he can be found
they are confident of fastening the crime
upon him. The jewelry and silverware
found in his closet was the result of sew
eral burglarious raids made on Wash
ington Boulevard and Ashland Avenue
and nearly, if not all of it, has been
identified. 1t was learned that Tascott
had pawned some articles about week
before the murder with West Madison
Street pawnbroker, named Homer, and
the police first got a description of the
man they wanted there

other railroad leaders are furious at

widely known as Petroleum V. Mas

died at lis home in this city at 6:35 this
morning. The immediate cause of his
ceath was consumption of The lungs,
which was inherited, it being in hik
mothers family and several brothers
and sisters dying of it. It's approach
was very slow, and it was not till last
November that he was confined to the

latter years he was largely interested in
building and manufacturing IN Toledo.
His fortune is estimated at ST 600, 900,

David Ross Locke was BORN at YES

several Western papers as local reporter,
from 1852 to 1850 he edited and pub
Ilshed papers at Peymorth, Mansfield,

MACKENZIE PROTESTS.
He Objects to the Course Followed in
Crown Princes Case.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-A dispatch from
San Reno says that DIR. Mackenzie has
protested against the course of treat
ment pursued by the German doctors in
the case Of Crown Prince Frederick
William.
BERLIN, Feb. 16.-The Tageblatt says
that Dr. Mackenzie in his report on the
disease of the German Crown Prince
which was sent to Berlin on Sunday,
states that from the outset he has adher-
ed to the view that the Crown Princes
complaint is not Of a cancerous nature.
In May, after Prof. Virchow's micro
scopic examination, and also in October
and November, when the indications
favoring the theory of malignant
disease had increased, he forwarded
reports, which were deposited in the
state archives at Berlin, saying that des-,
pite those symptoms there was no proof
of the existence of cancer; further than
this, Prof. Virchow found nothing fur
ther of cancerous nature in the matter
coughed up by the Prince. From the
beginning of the disease the clinical
signs have been compatible with the
view that the disease was not cancer,
which view the microscope has con-
frmed.
BERLIN, Feb. 16.-Full reports con-
corning the condition Of the Crown
Prince issued by Prof. Virchow and DR..
Mackenzie, state that the disease with
which he is afflicted is not of cancer
GUS nature.

CALLS IT A SURRENDER.
Canada Scores the Actions of the Fishery
Commission.


OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 1.-THE Free
Press (Liberal), which is opposed to the
government, under the heading Treaty
of Capitulation, says to-day: at is an
nounced by telegram from Washing
ton that a treaty was signed by the fish
cries commissioners yesterday evening
and that its contents would be made
public at once From the remarks CT ed
tied to Secretary Bayard it looks very
much as if the treaty amounted
to a complete surrender to the
Americans Sir Charles Upper
appears to have held out until the ring
ing Of the second bell, but the pressure
from Chamberlain caused him to cave in
at last and agree to any terms that Bay
ard chose to dictate. Of course the
treaty is subject to ratification by the
government of Great Britain, the parlia-
ment Of Canada, the Senate of the United
States and the legislature of New
foundland, and it is to be hoped that our
parliament will have sufficient indie
pendence to reject the treaty, if as APP
pears to be the case, it involves the sur
render Of Canada's rights without COM
pensation."
A draft of the fishery treaty arrived
from Washington yesterday and was, it
is understood, considered at the meet
ing of the cabinet in the afternoon.

concessions equally important as those
yielded by the Canadians have been

THE TROUBLE SETTLED.
Successful Adjustment of the Canadian
Fishery Question.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 15.-It is
stated on excellent authority that the
fishery commissioners completed their
labors this morning and the papers en-
bodying the result were all ready for
signature, when at the last mo-
ment a hitch occurred, it is under
stood upon some question as to
boundaries to bays and inlets over
which exclusive Jurisdiction should be
conceded to one of the powers. If
this disagreement shall not prove in
surmountable, and it is hardly supposed
that it will, there is a strong probability
that the president will, either to-day or
tomorrow, communicate to the Senate
the result of the deliberations, and will
make startling innovation uDon nrec-
edent by. a specific request that public
ity shall be given. No information as
to the nature of the nearly completed
agreement can as yet be secured.

Frank st. Clair and William Thomas,
the two last named awaiting trial for
highway robbery, escaped from the

evening of the 18th and their absence
was not discovered until next morning
The hour of their departure was learned

er from Milwaukee, charged with
passing counterfeit money, who was
in the same cell with Thomas and
refused to make an attempt to escape.
giving as his reason that he could prove
his innocence if he stood trial. The es-
cape was made by saving four bars
from the cell door, which let the men
into the upper corridor. From there
the prisoners reached the attic by saw
ing through eight bars forming the roof
of the corridor, and then cutting through
the ceiling. A hole was then cut through
the sheet iron roof and a rope made Of
hammocks torn into strips, was lowered
to the ground between the Jail and the
Courthouse
