MARION, IND Oct. 81 AT l o'clock
this morning, on the priuc!ps! street in
this city, Andrew Morgan OF Xeuis wss
shot through the heart and killed. Two
other bullets pierced Morgsn's shoulder
and arm. Two men did the shooting, as
the balls ex rsctsd were CT different cali
bre. Following the shots two
men were eeen running esst-
ward. This morning the trail
wss following one mile, and the tracks
showed that one of the fugisives was in
his stocking feet, II was discovered
also that 81. j. Rsnsman's general store
had been robSed. The theory Is that
Morgan discoyered the burglars at work,
and that they shot him because "dead'
men tell NO tales" The murdered nan
was twenty-eigat years old and unmsr-
ried. There have been 20 arrests.

Poverty and the Labor question,

No adjustment of the difficulty between
capital and labor, or of the tenement
problem, can either be relied on or ad-
mired, that depends upon any supercili-
GUS charity from the rich on the one
hand, or on establishing their perfect
equality with the poor on the other. 1t
is not when we see another mother buy
ing a handsomer overcoat for her boy
than we can afford that the envy and
bitterness come. It is when We see her
buying warmer one than we can afford
that we begin to hate her. The poor are
willing for you to be rich, and for them
selves to work; but make it hard for
them to get work, and may God have
mercy upon your souls as we'll as theirs.

DETROIT, November 14.-The sixteenth
annual congress of the Association fo
the Advancement of Women met her,
to-day, with $50 members present
Among the more noted members presen
are Miss Calliope Kechiga, of Constan
tinople; Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Miss
Frances Willard, Rev. Antoinnette Brown
Blackwell, of Elizabeth, N. j.; Mrs
Ada M. Fredericksen, of Denmark. An
executive session was held this morning
An address of welcome by Mrs. Howe
was delivered this afternoon. The con.
gress continues three days.
AT the evening session q paper was
read by Mrs. Jennie E. Froisett, of Salt
Lake City, on "Reasons why Utah
should not be admitted as State at
present." She took the grounds that
the Mormons are not Americans. Nor
monism, she said, is the most
complete and compactly organized
earth, and Behind this RH"'i absolute oREe
Theocracy there is scheme of universal
dominion, perpetually aggressive pur-
pose which is to destroy the Govern
ment Of the United States and reproduce
here system of government that pre-
walls in Mohammedan countries. Their
aim is to hold the balance of politi-
cal power and dictate their
principles. To achieve this they
will stop at nothing. She as
serted that every Mormon was sworn
to avenge the death of Joe Smith, upon
the American people; that there is no
such thing as fair vote in Utah, and
that if polygamy is left to grow and the
Territory is invested with American
Statehood, that there will come a time
when there will be another call for vol
unteers and money.
