CONFESSION OF A MURDERESS

phinc aud then Cuts His Throat.
One of the most terrible crimes ever COM
mttcd in Davis county, Ind, has just been
brought to light 10y the confession of the
murdcrcss, who IL seventy years old. On
the 18th of November last Richard O. Allen,
an aged farmer, living five miles south OF
Washington, was found tied to tree near
his homo, with his throat cut from ear to ear.
The general supposition was that he has.
taken his own life. He was buried, and The
matter was little thought Of till few days
ago, when the mystery was solved by tho
confession of tho mans wife, Charlotte
Allen, and two colored servants Sne and
her husband had had trouble as to who right
fully should own the little farm, and in order
to settle tho dispute she gave him morphine
in his tea on that fatal day. She then drove
him into tho garden, where he fell into q
furrow in n deep sleep. She then procured u
case knife and rope and went where her
drugged husband was lying on his fac.. Sho
tied the rope around his body, turned him
over, and, making several slashes at his
throat, half severed his head from the neck.
She then dragged him to trce aud tied him
there. When this was done she wrote in the
sand: "Cho0se to die by my own hand"
Tho murderess then went to tho house.,
changed her clothes and then gave the alarm.

AN IMPORTANT OMISSION.
How the Wcidcn ExtraditiOn Bill
Has Become Retroactive.

How the Wcidcn Extradition Bill
Has Become Retroactive.
The Minister OF Justice Of Canada, states
that It has been discovered that after tho
Weldon Extrndition bill had passed Purlia-
mcnt and received the Governor Generals
signature the omission Of one word had made
the hill retroactive, and that tho moment 1t
is put in forco Emo, Axworthy. Bartholomew
and fifty others will come within its scope
and be liable to extradition IL asked for.
The retroactive clause, it wilt be remember
od, was tho main objection to the bill. That
clause reads: "The provisions OF this act
shall apply to any crime mentioned in said
schedule, whethcr such crime was committed
before or after tho coming into force Of this
act, SC.
That 1t should not be retroactive It was
amended to read thus: "Shall apply to any
crime mentioned in the said schedule COM
mited after the coming into force Of this
act" The omission Of tho wor "only" TO
make tho act read: "Shall only apply"
places tho bill on tho same footing as all ex-
tradition treaties and makes it retroactive
Those who opposed the retroactive clause are
greatly chagrined to find they have been
sold on n legal technicality. Naturally this
disclosure has caused great excitement ond
uneasincss among the colony Of refugees
from United States justice, who have found
an asylum on that side Of the line,

An Insect That Is Playing Sad HAVOC
With Western Wheat.
The complaints about tho destruction Of
wheat by strange insect are increasing
at Indianapolis, Ind. They como chiefly
from tho central and eastern part Of the state,
but the ravages Of the little bug have al
-eedy spread to Northern Indiana, and the
secretary Of tho state board of agriculture
regards the reports as alarming. The insect
- what Is known among agriculturisE as the
"green midge," another species OF which is
the ''red midgo" The latter last appeared
in this region about fifteen years ago, and
did great damage to the growing wheat.
The "green midge," the little destroyer
which is now doing such alarming work, has
not been seen by farmers since 1865 when IL
almost entirely destroyed the wheat crop Of
Indirna and neighboring states. Millions Of
them appear in field, settling upon the
stalk, from which they draw the sap, causing
the grain to shrivel before It is matured.
The insects are green In color. Little is
known about them, because their appearance
has been rare.

eyes had at once perceived the girls
needs, and generous purse had sup
piled them.
The sujcct of money had never been
SO much as Ii nted ut by Madam. and
though Loo was fully aware of what
| her fathers wants must be by this time.
| she could not bring herself to ask her
aunt for money. Moreover, the under
standing in the first place had hsen
that Loo was to receive no money. The
salary was to be paid to Bolton himself
not to his daughter.
Having made up his mind to visit
Loo, MIR. Bolton at once pro ,oeded to
carry his determination into effect. He
was too wise, however, to put on a bold
'front.' 'front.' and march up the entrance to
bywater Park and demand an inter-
view with ]! 90. To do this swes toFnii,
both himself and his daughter forever
with Madam Iundas. But none the
less was he determined upon having
the money Madam had agreed upon
giving him. This being tho case. Mr.
Bolton Mt once departed upon his Jour
ney to Bywator Park, first sending q
line to Loo, notifying her of his inten-
ton and giving the date of his arrival.
MIR. Bolton did lot ut once proceed
TO the park; but, stopping at little
Inn far removed from Bywater, sent q
limo to his daughter, bidding hcr meet
MN under tho trees in the evening.
Loo's heart quaked when she re-
ceivcd this message. She was afraid to
go to her father, yet because Bolton
was her father she could not refuse. It
was early twilight when she finally left
tho house to keep her appointment un-
der tho trees. lie was already waiting
Tor her when sho appeared upon tho
scene.

Il am no worse at least" he SAYS,
with bitter smile; "but hush 1 hear

They listen. Only the low chirp of
nightbird in it's nest breaks tho dewy
stiffness.

speaks with evident relief. "IIoo, what

to prevent it. ",
