the confession of Thomas Murphy, q
burglar from ST. Paul, who has been OPP
efatlng III the neighborhood. The in
guest had closed with verdict of death
at his own hands" when Murphy APP
peared, confessed the crime, and sur
rendered himself TO the authorities.
Murphy says he failed TO blow open the
safe IN Peterson's store, at Elk Greek,
on the nigt of the crime, and subse-
quently wandered to Salsman's granary,
where he found Menk asleep and shot
him. To shield himself he carried
the mans body to a grass plat
near by and placed the revol-
yer in the dead mans hand.
lie cannot account for his impulse
to murder Menk other than by saying
that he grew reckless and desperate
over his failure at Peterson's store.
When he recovered his self possession
bis conscience gradually brought him to
a full sense of his villainy. and even now
that he has unburdened his mind he is
Ill at ease. lie says he will plead guilty
and take the cons quences. Menk was
single man of quiet disposition and
well liked by his employer.
THE body of John +. Hartwig, an old
German laborer, was found i'll pond
near the Muskego Avenue crossing OF
the st. Paul tracks, Milwaukee. As the
pool is quite shallow and not where any
one passing along the travelled way
would lie likely to have walked into it
by accident, it is believed that the old
| man must have lain down and deliber-
ately let himself drown.
TIRED of existence and wearied by the
many troubles of his long life, Capt.
Ernst F. Herzberg, of Milwaukee, shot
himself through the body, inflicting a
wound from which he died few hours
Platter. The dead man was over - years
| OF age, hid served gallantly through the
war of the rebel ion and had also served
five years at Waupun for attempted
murder. Complications arising from
domestic troubles sent him to the peni-
tentiary and dependency produced by
his rugged fortune drove him 10 sui

cution of the Editor.

ST. LOUIS, July 15.-Judge Laughlin,
the attorney of John w. Norton, arrived
to-day from Topeka and had a confer
ence with Mr.. Norton. He expresses
the opinion that Judge Guthrie will de-
eide the habeas corpus case against
Mr.. Moore and that the latter will be
brought back to st. Louis. The Judge
would neither admit nor deny that he
came here to have alleged infor-
malities in the papers for Moore's ar
rest corrected, but it is believed that
he did. He will return to Topeka as
soon as Judge Guthrie informs him
when he Will deliver his decision. Mr..
Norton's health is much improved and
he is still determined to prosecute
Moore to TIE full extent of the law.
Judge Laughlin says that Mrs Norton
took away from st. Louis s., 800 in mon-
ey and 5000 in notes, S3 900 in securi-
ties and some diamonds and other Jew
clry; that Moore had between 500 and
$500 in money, and that 81 ,0G0 is still
unaccounted for. Moore remains in Jail
at Topeka and Mrs. Norton at the hotel.
She still clings steadfastly TO Moore,
visits him at the jail, looks after the
preparation of his meals which are
sent TO him from the hotel.

CRAZED BY SPECULATION.
Charles Hess, u Chicago "Plunger,

CHICAGO, H., July 14-Charles +.
Hess, president of the Hess Elevator
Company, owing to unfortunate specu-
lations on the Board of Trade, is now a
raving maniac, and is only prevented
from committing violent acts by being
confined In his residence. Several weeks
ago his father, Ernest Hess, a wealthy
grain dealer and the owner of two ele-
vators, started for Europe and trlns-
lerred the management of his affairs to
his two sons. Besides a bank account
OF slo,0OO, which was placed to the cred

credit IN margins remainingin the bank.
After the father went away Charles de-
velopeG a remarkable faculty as a
"plunger.' His actions created cor
siderable comment. He would wildly
bet 800 to 81 COO that the corn
would be % before it would be 45 and
then he would offer to buy in million
lots and almost in the same breath offer
to sell. As the credit of the house was
very strong no calls were made for mar
gins though the young operator had
spread and straddled until he was in
VOWED to the extent OF 5000, 900 bushels
or more. The rea! condition of
affairs did not become known
until yesterday, even to his friends, and
then his brother Frank and broker

Name an Executive Chairman.
New IoRK, July 1O.-There are rumor:
about the Fifth Avenue Hotel TO the ef-
feet that some difficulty has been ex-
perienced in finding n chairman for the
executive committee of the Democrat
National Committee. 1t is said that
Senator Arthur Z. German, of Mary
land, had been asked to accept the
chairmanship, which involves toe man
agement of the campaign, and that he
had refused When the attention of
Congressman William L. Scott, of Erie,
Pa, was called to this rumor he dryly
said: Il never knew that Mr.. German
had been offered the place" In couse-
quence OF Mr.. Germans refusal, it is
thought that Calvin ;. Bryce, of OHIO,
will be chairman. 1t was also said by
several Republicans about the hotels

He Buys Al the Raw Sugar He Can Get
and Corners That Article.


SAN. Francisco, Cal, July l4-When
the trust was formed few months ago
the officers began not only to corner re-
fined sugars, but to include in the
squeeze the raw product. They, of
course, pinched the producer as
well as the consumer. The re-
suit of this was that they doomed
the raw article, but caused hand
to mouth buying of the refined
product. Claus Spreckels saw through
the little games, and quietly capitalizing
his resources bought all the raw sugar
he could secure. Now the refiners find
that they have largely oversold refined
sugars; that the raw product is beyond
their reach, and they are obliged 10
send to Europe for raw material Some
time ago Mr.. Spreckels contracted for
$4,000 tons of raw sugar from Manila,
