A Capital Crime.
Detroit Journal.

A woman named Biechler, the mistress of
Henry King, the rich young Chicago profit
gate, who was poor imitation of some of
the English nobility and Austrian royalty,
killed him few months ago for casting her
of and marrying some other woman. The
jury acquitted her on the ground of insanity.
This, however, was mere excuse for ex-
pressing public sympathy with woman who
INDUCES her revenge upon one who in
formally sustains husbands relations with
her, until for family or social or business
reasons he contracts legal alliance with
some other woman. Public opinion in this

1t would seem, in the face Of the evidence,
that the Jury had been more gallant than
just Miss Biechler is as much murderer
as many poor devil that has stretched
hemp, and sympathy for her is simply senti-
mental nonsense. At any rate, II she was
insane then, she is equally insane now, and
should, at least, be kept in an asylum out Of

Miss piecb,cr,s Morbid Mind.

81, Louis hCpuouCuNs
The acquittal of Elizabeth Biechler for tho
murder of young King in Omaha was neces-
STATED by the courts instructions that IL in
'her morbid state of mindn she really be-
lieved King meant to kill her, she had right
to kill him. Under such law as this muir
derer needs only to be supplied with pistol
and morbid state of mind to be sure of ac-
quittal. AS all murderers are supplied with
the morbid state of mind before using the
pistol, the knife or the bludgeon, 1t seems
that this decision has reduced the science of
safety for murderers to its extreme of sim
plicity.

JAY GOULD has not yet succeeded in
gripping the throat Of the Santa Fe
road, though he has seriously con-
tracted it's windpipe. He is now en-
gagged in securing the country for
proxies, but enough of the stockholders
have combined to prevent him con-
trolling the coming annual meeting.
This fact has encouraged the supporters
of the road to tender financial aid, and

Hon. w. S. Andrew stated tho inevitsble
effect of high license very concisely when he
said before the excise revision commission Of
this state:
"An extreme high license would drive out
some of the best persons in the business,
while the worst would either pay or sell
without license.n
The "dives," the saloons that are the
headquarters of gamblers blacklegs, thieves,
and those who combine prostitution and
gambling with liquor selling, as in Omaha
aud Chicago, can pay almost any price.

THE establishment OF an extensive

has been announced.A From the reputa-
tion of the firm projecting the enter

manufacture of boots and shoes. 1t Is

Immediately extends from the Missouri
river to the Rocky mountains. There
is, moreover, every prospect that in a
comparatively short time the manufac-
ture of boots, shoes and kindred indus
tries will be centralized in our vicinity
for the reason that the raw materials
are at our door. When we are able to
take the raw hides from our slaughter
houses and convert them into leather
the problem of making Omaha a great
industrial market is solved. We have
the hides and should convert them into
leather. We need the tanneries as the
connecting link. and it is only ques-
tion of time when the process OF tam
ming can be carried on here as protita-
bly, as it has been elsewhere.
