THE reported arrest OF Kate Bender
and her mother in Michigan recalls the
history of one OF the most fearful crimi-
nal episodes that ever occurred in this
country. The Benders kept sort OF
wayside inn in Montgomery county,
Kansas. A number of people had sud-
denly disappeared, and all traces OF them
were lost after they had been seen on the
road upon which the Bender inn was
situated. At last. in 1872, conspicuous
politician and citizen of Lawrence dis
appeared, and was last seen in the Ben
der vicinity. A vigilance committee was
organized and young brother OF Kate
Bender was seized and closely ques-
toned. He broke down, and disclosed
the whole horrible mystery. The Bender
house, it is now said, was surrounded,
and Kate and her mother put under ar
rest. However this may be, search was
made for the bodies of the victims.
Thirteen bodies, including that of Mr.
York, were exhumed in the Bender
orchard. Three more were subsequently
discovered. 1t seems that the Blenders
placed their victims in certain position
at the table, and that they were struck
with an ak from behind, when an oper
trap door would receive their bodies
OF course the motive was robbery. A
Mr.. N. Coberly, who resides in thi'
city, says that Kate and her mothe
were taken by the committee to al
isolated place and riddled witt
bullets, and that young Bende
was similarly disposed of after he hat
made his confession. He may be right
but our recollection is to the effect tina
the guilty family made its escape, ant
that for years its members were searched
for in various parts of the country. Blu
the fact that no trace of them was eve
discovered, although the whole eountr.
was aroused by the atrocity of thei
crimes, would eeem to favor the ide'
that the committee were thorough il
their work, and summarily rid the worlt
OF the monsters.

here that the Msssais or Somalis have
massacred DR.. Peters, the German ex-
plorer, and his whole party, ex-
cept one European and one So
mali, who were wounded and are
now at Ngao. The latest known here
about DR.. Peters, who started in
land from Yitu July 26th, was that he
reached Korkorre, long distance up
the Tarnu river. 1t is not know whether
the second column of the expedition,
which left Yitu in September under COM
mand of Bornhert and Rust, ever joined
DIR. Peters advance party.
BERLIN, November 6.-Dispatches to

of the massacre of DR.. Peters and his

over the Legislative ticket is very close
and the result in doubt.
DEs MONIES, November 6.-The State
Register Gays it will require full returns
from every county in the State to settle
the question OF election. The Republi.
cans are still hopeful, and the Democrats
confident.
DEs MONIES, November 6.-The REQ

lature will stand: Senate, Republican,

81, Democrats AZ; doubtful l.
DUBUQUE, Ia, November 6.-The
Herald has returns from sixty-seven
counties in the State. These give Boies
. plurality of 1900. The remaining
thirty-two counties in '87 gave Repub-
lican plurality of 1.29S. On this basis
Boies already has 1892 in sixty.seve
counties, so that all the gains in the re-
naming thirty-two counties will simply
add to his plurality. If the same rates
OF Democratic gains continue through
the thirty-two counties, Boies will have a
plurality in the State Of 5000 to 10. 900,
The Herald claims that it is now impos-
sible to defeat him, and his plurality is
only question Of gains in the remaining
third of. the State. 1t is not known
whether the remainder of the ticket is
elected or not, for Boies runs ahead. If
his majority should reach more than
5000, it is almost certain that the bal
ance of the ticket is elected with him,
CHICAGO, November GA dispatch
from Des Moines, Iowa, says: Complete
returns from niuety-five counties, and
the remaining five counties estimated the
same as two years ago, show that Boies
(Dem. for Governor, has 1896 plurality,
The official returns will undoubtedly in.
crease this majority to about 1000. The
entire State ticket, Lieutenant Governor,
Justice Of the Supreme Court, Superin.
tendent of Public Instruction, and Rail-
way Commissioner, is elected. The
Republicans claim the Legislature by
eight majority on joint ballot, but the
Democrats do not concede more than
three.

Brackett Elected Governor by a
Greatly Reduced Plurality.


BosroN, November 6.-Returns have
now been received from every town in
the State except Gosnold, which has
only about 20 voters. They give Brack-
EFT (Rep.), 126,792; Russell Oem i,

Brackett's plurality, 5,979. In 1887
Ames (Rep) had 10000; Lowering
Oem.), l1S, ,394; Earl (Prohib.), l0,954.
The returns for Lieutenant- Governor
are incomplete, but Haile's plurality will
probably be larger than that of Brackett.
The makeup of the Legislature, accord
ing to these returns, is: Senate, 80 Re-
publicans, 10 Democrats; against 32 Re-
publicans and Democrats this year.
House, 157 Republicans, 70 Democrats,

Accuracy Of Forecasts.
WASHINGTON, November 6.-Greely,
Chief Signal Officer, in his annual re-
port says: ''In performance of strict
military duties which by law devolvs
upon him, the Chief Signal Officer is
seriously embarrassed by the utter lack
of facilities for using or caring for the
field telegraph trains or other signal
equipments under his charge for the
practical training and drilling of the Off
GERS and enlisted men of the Signal
corps, and lastly, to minor extent, by
the need of liberal appropriations. Un-
der such conditions the officers and men
Of this service are gradually but surely
retrograding as regards their military du-
ties, and at the end of the fiscal year the
condition of signal instruction in the
army is at the lowest ebb it has ever
been known"
He recommends, therefore, that either
instructions in the art of military signal
ing be abandoned, or ample material
and moral support given the Chief, so
that he may raise it to high standard of
efficiency.
Speaking Of weather forecasts, General
Greely calls attention to the fact that
under the present conditions the forecast
officer can devote barely half minute to
all the predictions for any particular
State or district. The percentages of sue
cessful forecasts made by Prof. Marvin
are: For weather, S44; temperature,
1913, with general average of 81. Dur
ing the year 1,066 storm signals of all
kinds were ordered, of which $50 were
wholly and "a partially justified as to
velocity, and $50 as to direc ion. On the
Pacific Coast territory, in charge of Lieu
tenant Maxfeld, tie per cent. Of success
ful forecasts increased from 1873 in 1887,
to SO In 1888.
