Murderer Kenneth Tells How He
Took Annie Daniels Life.

the most inventive people here

nett sought him out and told how he had
not only killed Annie Daniel with morphine
and ether, but tried once before to do it
with laudanum in coffee, resulting in max
Ing her very sick. 1t was first proven that
Kenneth bought eight ounces OF ether and
morphine in equal parts. This. as the al.

the house, and on Sunday night, after q

chief. She inhaled it n became sleepy.
Then he gave her q fresh dose, which made
her wild. He held her down in bed till she
became composed, and threw the whole of
the mixture on her handkerchief and held
it to her nostrils. Soon she began to stran-
gle. He tried her pulse and noted when it
| stopped beating, but her heart throbbed
violently for q minute or "
longer. When she was dead he got into
the bed with his clothes on and slept unth
morning. That day he searched for money,
but found none. At night he again slept
with the corpse, keeping the handkerchief
saturated with the anesthetics rear her
nose, so that if suddenly surprised by
such visitors as frequent sporting fancy
houses it might appear that she had died
of an overdose administered by herself.
Tuesday he again searched for money and
again that night slept in the house. We'd
nesday he found the money, and at once
got candles liked into torches for burning
the house and left by the midnight train.
At Petersburg, ILL.,, he told the story to
DIR. Shipp, a woman physician. She help
ed him to hide part Of the money in his
shoe, and the next day after: his arrest
she called on him in the jail. when he gave
her S55. This story has created a great
stir in town. Some believe it and some
think it a monstrous lie. But there are
SO many known facts interviewer Herewith
that it is unlikely, If not impossible, that
Daniels should have, known them in any
way except by Kennett's confession. 1t is
q consistent story from first to last and
would explain some things SO far not un.

q wee lad. apparently about ten years old,
stepped therelrom, and pausing to study
the circus bill boards was observed by q
policeman who, noting that the boy did
not return to the train, took him in

and we'll dressed, says his name is Joe

that he lived at No.. 1894 Jackson street,

he went as far as Yellowstone Park, and
returning had stopped u few days at

The number OF forged notes OF the Bank
OF France proves to be larger than was at

confidence in the bank is shaken because
of the refusal OF the directors to reimburse

MURDER.
A Fort Benton Nan Killed by a

. One Of the most cold. Hooded and unpro.
voked murders ever known was perpetrat.
ed near Fort Conrad, Montana. The par.

mans friends trying to sustain his life by
slow moves until they could reach medical
aid. About a week ago Augustus Brede
and Johnny Adams started from Fort
Benton to Fort Mcleod, N. W., T., and
were requested by an impecunious strang.
err to take him along. He claimed to
have friends living in the vicinity of Fort
Mcleod. Mr.. Brede. owner of the team
an wagon, consented. and the three started
north. Upon reaching n inc. mile coulee,
nine miles north Of Fort Conr ad. they
camped for the night. The next morning
Brede started after the horses that had
gone away during the night, leaving the
other two at the wagon. Upon returning
three hours later he found Adams under
the wagon bleeding freely from the effects oil
several pistol shots, and the other man
| gone. Adams said the missing man did
| the shooting without any cause whatever.
He said he was lying under tho wagon
when the murderer approached and said,
Throw up your hands. I am the father

as he was told, when the murdered com

It is quite customary when any one
desires to show howlittle man knows,
after all, to ask "who can tell what
makes a blade of grass grow, or why
it grows?'' But there r equally
great mysteries closer to man than
even Of that Of the grass. For in
stance, what man can tell why every
man who pays heed to style is now

worn they were put in the middle OF
tho scarf. Then, very mysteriously,
they were not worn at all. Now they

In 1890 will end the term OF 100
years during which the cities OF Bos-
ton and Philadelphia have each en-
joyed the revenue from a bequest of
$4,000 made by Benjamin Franklin.
The money was to be loaned out to
young married artiicers, aud the trust
has been executed, although the lapse of
a century requires a new disposition of
the funds. 1t is significant that while
in Boston the $4,000 has grown to
nearly 32s,OOO; in Philadelphia the
$4,000 has become only $4,000.

MI. jay Gould, with his immense income
from his railroad property; is able to pay
his bootblack $500 a day, but does he do
it? Oh, no; he pays the market price Of
the street. He gets his boots blacked and
pays his nickel like a little man. Mr.. Van
derbilt. from the income arising from the
interest on the, immense amount OF bonds
OF the federal government he has got, can
afford to pay his hostler $40, 900 a year.
He is able to do it; his bonds enable him
to do it,, but does he do it? Oh, no, he
goes out into the market and employs his
his labor at the market value, and pays
the came price as the humblest citizen in
New York does.-Congressman Roger 9
