Something Rotten.

Wadena Tribune.
Some 100000 or $4,000 has been due
the state from the Manitoba railroad
since Aug. for taxes. The state treas
ury is empty, too. When poor farmer
owes taxes he has to be pretty prompt
in settling, but great and mighty rail-
road corporation can let the matter run
along for two or three months. Farm
ers and laboring men, there is some
thing rotten in Denmark, and the best
way to rectify it is to vote for E. NJ.
Wilson for governor.

upon the customs lists-so as to keep
their bounties, as they call the pro-

to make them perpetual. Hence, their

HE MUST. HANG.

The Missouri Supreme Court Decides
Against the Young Bald Knobber Chief
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. 13.-The most
important of the criminal cases decided by
the Supreme Court yesterday was that Of
William Walker, the young chief of the
Christian County Bald Knobbers, who, on
the night of March II, 1887, murdered Will
liam Edens and Charles Green in Christian
County. Young Walker, who was the
junior chief, was wounded in the attack
on Edens' house and went to Arkansas,
but returning: to Missouri was captured
near West Plains, Howell County. At a
special term Of the Christian County court
in April, 1887, he was indicted with
David Walker, James, John and Wiley
Mathews, G. o. Simmons, Gilbert Apple
gate. William Stanley, William Newton,
Hyde, Andrew Adams, Amos Jones and
Lewis and Peter Davis and. in August.
1887, after an Intellectual attempt to secure
Q change of venue the trial was had
and William and David Walker and John
and Wiley Mathews were convicted OF
murder in the first degree, while the others
were convicted of murder in the second
degree and sentenced to various terms in
the penitentiary. The cases of the con-
demned men were brought to this court,
severance being granted. The opinion in
the Walker case was written by Judge
Black and the verdict of the lower court
affirmed. All the other cases will no doubt
be determined the same way, all having
been convicted on the same evidence.
The court fixed Friday, December %, as
the day for the execution. --

NOT QUITE so BAD.

The Disaster at Pittsburgh, Kan, Not So
Bad at First Reported.
PITTSBURGH, Kan, Nov. lathe ac-
counts of the mine disaster at Frontenac
have been so largely overdrawn that it is
deemed proper for the information of the
public that at least one true statement of
the facts should be officially given.
There have been thirty mine dead bodies
recovered and about twenty wounded or
injured. or the latter not to exceed five
will. die and probably not SO many. Ex-
perts and volunteers are still thoroughly
searching the entries and rooms of the
underground workings for any bodies
which may possibly be left there, but it is
thought they are all now discovered and
included in the list of killed and wounded.
There were originally about $50 men in
the mine at the time of the explosion,
those over and above the number of killed
and wounded having escaped soon after
the explosion by way of the air and escape
shaft.
Officials of the company are on the
ground from Topeka and all is being done
that can be for the relief of the suffering
and distress of all the wounded men and
destitute families. Girard, Litchfield and
this city have turned out nobly with all
sorts Of aid. There will be funds raised at
once for all necessary expenses.

Treasurer Axw0rthy's Fall, and His Efforts
to Make Restitution.
CLEVELAND, o.. Nov. 13-Mayor Bah
cock yesterday gave to the press a letter
received by him from Thorn as Axworthy,
the defaulting treasurer. written prior to
the formers hasty departure for Mon
treal. where the mayor was unsuccessful
in his attempt to secure an interview
with him. The letter bears date October
%, and in 1t the writer says that his down.
fall was caused by loaning on call, at the
suggestion of prominent Cleveland
parties, large sums of money on
which he received the interest regularly {;
but, greatly to his surprise. when the
principal was deman ded it was not forth
coming, and investigation proved that
the men, whom he supposed to be worth
millions, could not have paid the loans
within four months after they were made.
There was q combination to ruin him.
the writer says, and it succeeded admir-
ably. Mr.. Axworthy then gives list OF
his entire belongings, estimated by
him to be worth 1919. 900, and au-
thorizes the mayor to act as his attor-
ney in the transfer of his property to
the city to make good, as far as possible.
the loss sustained. His wife, he says,
will give q quit claim to the same for a
nominal consideration. The listincludes
stocks, bonds, notes. etc, many of which
are pronounced by bankers to be worth
less or OF triflng value. Mayor Babcock
will probably make another trip to Mon
treal il the hope Of Of having personal
interview with the defaulter.

what IL Expected If Congress Proves to Be
Wholly Republican.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Eff 1t shall be
found that the Republicans have the House
by . working majority they will have con-
troll OF the entire Government, Tor there IS
no longer any question that they will con-
troll the Senate Then if the statements OF
those who ought to know are to be relied
upon the Republicans, among other things,
will endeavor to carry out the following:
First-To postpone the consideration OF
the subject of the reduction of the revenue
and all tariff legislation until the Repub-
licans shall be in full possession OF the
Government
Eecond-To enact laws to admit at the
earliest possible moment two States in
Dakota and one in Montana, Washington
Territory and possibly Wyoming.
Third-To convene Congress possibly In
extra session on March in order to or
ganize the House and to give effect to the
Administration policy as early as practic-
able. -
Fourth-To consider and, if possible. to
pass the Blair Educational bill, and any
other measures which receive the support
of Northern Republicans as to which the
Southern Democrats are divided.
Fifth-To attempt generally to enact
laws which will receive the support OF a
considerable portion of the South, and to
seek to enlist that portion of the Southern
Democracy which favors protection and
educational measures in movements which
it is expected will tend to render the South
less solid.
Sixth-The admission of Oklahoma as a
Territory and its subsequent admission as
a State, IL it shall appear that the popula-
ton is likely to be Republican.
Seventh-The extinction of polygamy IN
Utah Territory, and when that shall have
been accomplished, the admission Of Utah
Territory as State
Eighth-The passage of the tonnage bill
of the present Congress, or Of some bill
which will encourage ship building.
Ninth-To devise, if practicable, further
measures which shall give the Federal
Government a better supervision OF Ma
tional elections within the States. and es.
peciallv in the Southern States.

Asleep, With an Axe. =
PORTLAND, Conn, Nov. 13.-Mrs. Ellen
Cooper. aged thirty two years. was found
by a servant girl in bed yesterday morn :
ing, with her head badly cut with an axe.
The weapon was found lying on pillow,
covered with blood. The woman's hus-
band is harness. maker, and had been
working in a shop in Meriden. He came
home two weeks ago and said he was out
on strike. His wife mistrusted his
statement and wrote to the firm. They
replied that he had been discharged for
neglecting his work. and that il he would
return he would be given work. Mrs.
! Cooper urged him to go. back, saying
she could not support the family.
Cooper was drunk Friday and Saturday,
but sober Sunday. He prepared to go
back to work. He had quarreled with his
wife, and had been reading an account of
the Whitechapel murder. and was greatly
excited. She told a neighbor that he said
he would fix her before Monday morning
SO she would not trouble him any more.
On Saturday night Mrs. Cooper went to
the post office and showed an open letter,
claiming that the letter had been opened
at the post Office. The postmaster said
that the letter was in perfect order when
he passed 1t out to her little boy few
moments before. She was greatly ex-
cited, and made some insulting remarks,
drawing quite a crowd.
The murderer was arrested in Middle.
town yesterday morning. He gave the
letter to the chief of police, acknowl
edged the killing of his wife and said the
letter justified the act, as it was from a
prominent business man in East Hamp-
ton and showed that his wife was unfaith-
full Cooper is in Jail. He SAYS he was
sober when he committed the deed. He
went to bed with the axe handy and wait
ed until his wife was asleep. He then got
up and struck her q blow which stunned
her, and then finished the work with the
edge Of the axe. When he was satisfied
she was dead he fed and was arrested as
previously stated

dren, the youngest a babe five months
lold.
Late Sunday evening she apparently
aroused from her stupOr and took her
children to the improvised morgue, where
lay the body of her husband. She led
each child up to the CHASTITY corpse. and
still with that awful silence which had
marked her from the beginning Of her be-
reavement, led them away to the little
hut which had sheltered them in the past
No attention was paid to her by those who
were busy with the dead and dying; but
about midnight o cry of fire from the viii
lage Of Frontenac gathered a crowd of
workers from the mine to the streets. It
was seen that the Bsrthune cabin was In
flames, and willing hands were soon at
work to save the inmates. The eldest
child, girl of nine years, succeeded in
escaping from the flames which devoured
the rest of the family, and her story was
one that sent q thrill OF horror through
her hearers. She said that her mother
sent each Of the children to bed with q
| kiss, and then sat down near the stove.
The girl could not sleep, and lay watch
| ing her mother, who, after sitting for
some time, took the can OF coal oil and
| poured it over herself and the bedclothes
! of the children. The grief stricken
| woman then set fire to some paper and
scattered it about the room, and soon the
| whole place was in flames. The daughter
struggled short time with her mother in
an endeavor to get away, but the burning
! oil on her mothers clothes caused such
! intense heat that she soon relaxed her
| grasp The girl finally managed to get
out Of the door, where she fell exhausted
and frightfully burned. The cabir
burned like finder, and soon nothing was
left but the glowing embers, from which
were ralked the charred bodies Of the In
sane mother and her four children.

ssWhy is it that the hardware stores

well. I can tell you In very few
words.
s.All through the South, where the
most of our trade is, as well as in
other parts of the country, the tin
peddlers swap their wares for beeswax,
which they get very cheap. They
make nice profit on their tin-ware in
the trade, and they also get profit on
the beeswax when they turn it over to
the retailers in hardware.
s'The beeswax passes from them to
the wholesale hardware men in the
cities, and they ship it in barrels to
New York. We often receive notice
from So-and-So that he has shipped a
certain number of barrels of beeswax
to apply on account. Beeswax is al
ways staple article. and it is just as
good as the cash at all times, for
never saw time yet when we couldn't
get the cash for it. a3
'aOf course it sometimes fuctuates
in price, like many other goods. but
there is always a steady demand for it
at the market value. Before the pat
emit hives and honeycombs came into
use few years ago. the wholesale
price of beesewax was twenty-five cents
q pound"
Where large numbers of bees were
kept the patent comb was used. and
the consequence was that the bees did
not have to manufacture any comb.
and in the course of a year the pro
duction of wax decreased so much that
the price went up to seventy cents q
pound wholesale. It even went high
| er than that for a while, and then it
fell again, but it has never got back to
where it was before the patents were
adopted.
IL it were not for the tens of thou
sands of small bee-keepers who cling
to the old style of handling bees, the
price of beeswax would be more than
one dollar pound. Budget.
