of the disease would stop. There

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, March lS.-Dr.
George NJ. Cox, U. s. Pension Ex-
aminer at Springfield, Missouri, this
evening induced Miss Effic Ellis,
mistress OF Fenton Cox, his son, to
enter carriage with him, and when
she was seated struck her over the
head with bottle of vitriol, breaking
the vessel and smeariDg her face and
tracted the attention Of the police,
who released her from the frenzied
physician, but not until her eyes were
burned out and her handsome features
destroyed by the powerful vitriol,
which flowed into the gashes made by
the broken glass. The agony OF the
woman was intense, and she now lies
at the point OF death.
Trenton Cox met Eife at a Wis
consin watering place last Summer,
and brought her to Springfield, where
lie since has pursued a course OF
debauchery and ruin.
The doctor by legal means broke up
the variety show his son started With
Effie as leading lady, and drove her
out OF town, but the boy followed her
to st. Louis and continued his reck-
less course, in six weeks throwing
away $1,000 on her and disgracing
himself in other ways,
Before meeting with her he had
been a promising lad, and his sudden
ruin distracted his parents and drove
his father TO the terrible crime.

She " as Not Pleased.

There are an abundance of good
men for husbands in Dakota, and
there are many instances where
matches have been made through the
agency OF the newspapers, but that
plan does not always work out domes-
tic felicity. An instance is given:
A year or so ago dark-eyed, comely
and intelligent lady of manageable
years, came over from Scotland TO
visit her married sister in Canada.
Her name was Innes. She saw stray
copy OF the Helping Hand, containing
the card of Dakota bachelor wanting
lady correspondent with a view 10
matrimony." She responded-in fun,
of course. Various letters passed be-
tween them, and photographs were
exchanged. The young man repre-
sented himself as young farmer with
farm, stock and suburban estate. lie
proposed and she accepted, with the
condition that if they were both
pleased on meeting they would marry
he sending her money to pay her fare
from Canada to the South Dakota
town. She came a few weeks ago,
and, us she stepped from the car, was
recognized and welcomed by the de
lighted Young man, as she was more
lovely than the photo indicated.
But the delight was not mutual
Miss Innes insisted that he was moi
the man who sat for the pirture-had
red hair and didn't suit her fancy al
all. She turned her back upon hin
and cruelty blasted all his fond hopes
Of conjugal joys, returning to Canad:
on the next train. That young mar
nj Parker is out the money advanced
for her fare and an object OF merri
ment TO all the maidens of that see
tion, none OF whom would now MARI,

A dispatch from Bonham, Texas, of
March Is, says: At II O'Clock this
morning the District Courtroom was
crowded to hear the trial of James
Scarlet, charged with the murder of
Andy Lacefeld in 1885. At the last
term of court Scarlett was sentenced
TO be hanged, but a new trial was
granted on account of an error in the
jury's return OF their verdict.
The two men were running whisky
boat on the Red river, smuggling
whisky to Indians. One night they
quarreled over a game of cards, in
which Laceiield was the winner. Lace
field lay down upon a cot and went TO
sleep, when Scarlett shot him through
the head Scarlett then forced two
boys who were there TO help him put
the body in boat and carry il some
distance down the river, where it was
thrown overheard. Scarlet was cap
tufed in Indian Territory, and the
boys testimony convicted him.
After the case was called to-day
Andy Lacefield appeared in the court
house and was fully identified. lie

A,Inm,un,,.,I Kansas Judge.

Judge L. c. Ruggles OF Wichita,
Kansas, eloped about ten days ago
with young lady whom he employed
as stenographer. lie wrote letter to
his wife, whom he lad abandoned for
the fair young manipulation of the type
writer, that he did not intend to re-
turn to Wichita, and that she should
make the best of his actions. He ex-
pressed no regret for having heart
iessly abandoned his family, and
leaving them penniless, An inquiry
developed the fact that he had mort
gagged some OF the property three
times, claiming TO be giving first
mortgage in each case. He also sold
S25 900 worth of real estate for cash,
though the property was heavily
mort tagged, he having borrowed money
on il before he sold it, lie also mort
gagged his library, which is said to be
the finest in Kansas. for $25, 900. and
mortgaged his residence to two
agencies for more than it is worth.
Those whom he swindled have offered
a reward for his arrest, and put lie
tectives on his track. so that there is a
possibility of his being captured, and
again, though unwillingly, visiting
Wichita,

courier saved his precious mail pouch
and had TO walk ten miles TO the mex
relay station.
" Johnny Fry-I remember hin
well-was one OF the famous men o
his day on the border. Tough AND
wiry, he was as light rs u cat, and ~
a rider he never knew an equal. Tc
him fell the duty of riding the last
sixty miles Of the long race. He had
six horses, thoroughbreds they were,
too, to do it with.
When the courier reached the
sixty-mile post out Of st. JOSEPH he
WAS one hour behind time. Johnny
had TO make up the lost hour or the
wager was lost. Miller had consid-
cred all this when he selected Johnny
Fry to make the final dash.
Three hours and thirty minutes
in which TO make the ride OF sixty
miles. Never before nor since has
such purse been run for in America
as would We won or lost by Johnny's
success or
As the hours drew noar for Fry's
arrival at ST. Joseph, thousands OF
people lined the river bank, gazing
with feverish expectancy in the di-
rection of the woods, from which the
horse and rider should emerge into
the open country-one mile from the
finish.
" As the minutes flew by the ex-
element became intense, and people
spoke to each other in a subdued sort
Of way. Seven minutes more and
the wager would be lost, when sud-
denly bright-cyed youngster caught
sight of the anxiously looked-for cour-
ier, and the yell that went up from
the crowd reached the ears of the
rider mile away.
" Horse and rider fairly flew on the
wings OF the wind. Feathery fiecks
OF foam streaked the painting hanks OF
the noble steed as she, with wide dis
tended and blood-red nostrils, bore the
courier TO his journeys end, covering
the last mile in one minute and fifty
seconds. The little mare Slyph had
won the wager, and there we're five

Inga;Is nna she loyal Legion.

A special from Washington OF the
10th inst. says: 1t is not exactly true
that the Loyal Legion has black
balled Senator Ingalls,, but he will be
rejected il his name is not withdrawn.
Senator Ingalls, made his speech on
Tuesday and the Legion Commandery
met ON Wednesday evening. Three
names had been before the command

for the election TO membership is a Sc
cret one, and five black balls are sufli-
cient to shut out candidate. On

Of the friends OF Ingalls, that there was
movement among the old officers
under Hancock to blaekball ingalls,
when his name was reached at the
meeting that night. Sooner than have
this occur the friends OF the Senator
consulted and agreed upon pro-
gramme. In accordance with this
plan the committee reported favora-
bly, upon the other two names and
ignored that OF the Senator.
The secret finding was that Mr.. In
CALLS military services were not such
as to enlitle him to admission to the
order. That this was only a subter'
iuge to avert the blackballing is vel
understood,

Marriage sr Senator stewards
Dang ht~r.

Mrs. Annie Stewart Foote Fox, a
younger daughter Of Senator and Mrs.
Stewart, was married last night, says a
Washington special OF March IL, at her
parents residence, 1907 Rhode Island
Avenue, to Senior Jose de Romero y
Duinet, an attache OF the Spanish Le-
CATION. The ceremony was quite pri-
vate, being witnessed by the family
circle alone. The only others invited
were Senator and Mrs. J. Z. Jones.
The Senator could not attend, as he is
saowbound in New York. The bride,
who is very attractive in person and
looks, laid aside the slight mourning
which she had been wearing for her
infant son, who died during the past
Winter, to don her bridal robe OF pink
silk, made with high waist. After the
brief ceremony and congratulations
from the small party present, the
newly married couple went to
their future residence apartments,
Wassac Avenue. The bride has two
young sons, who are now in a hoard
ing-school. but will reside with her in
future. She has been divorced from
her first husband for some time. Pre-
parations for the wedding have been
delayed several weeks by her desire to
have Catholic priest solemnize the
nuptials, as Senior Romero has been
raised in that faith. The dispensa-
ton, however, could not be granted
and the ceremony was performed by
Rev. DIR. Bartlett.

of the weather deceive you, for cloudy
DAYS are equally as good for general
purposes, and preferable in many
cases to brighter days. The photo
graphs taken by Mr.. Monaco during

process the cloudy day dodge has
proved TO be nothing but a pretext TO

a House Made of Paper.

One of the most interesting objects
offered to public inspection at the
sydney International Exhibition was
a dwelling house exclusively made Of
paper, and furnished throughout With
articles manufactured from the same
material. Walls, roof, flooring and
staircases alike consisted OF carton
pierre the carpets and curtains. bed
steads, lamps, sheets and counterpanes,
towels, bootjacks, baths, kitchen
utensils, etc, were one and all pre-
parations of paper-mache, as were the
very stoves used for heating the rooms,
in which large fires We're kept burning
daily Throughout the duration OF the
Exhibition. Several banquets were
given in the paper house by its owners
to the Commissioners, members OF the
press, and foreigners OF distinction.
All the plates and vessel, used at
these entertainments were fabricated
entirely and solely Of paper. Should
these paper buildings come into vogue
they may be expected to superinduce
some striking charges in the rates oi
fire insurance, at present calculated
upon basis Of bricks and mortar.
