went to q ncighbors for safety, and in a
short time her husband followed her, taking
with him WinChester rifle. After first driv-
ing the people from the house where she had
taken refuge, by threats of numbering them
all, he entered the house and dragged his de-
fenseess wife from her hiding place and de-
hberatey murdered her by firing two shots,
one of which took effect in the left breast and
the other in the abdomen. He then went
outside and placed the muzZc of the gun
against his left temple and fired, blowing Of
the whole top OF his head 1t is said that he
killed farmers wife some years ago i'll the

Iowa, was tried for libel remained out all

answer to Judge tOnrad's inquiry as to tie

said it was in reference to the effect OF the
court Instructions in relation to exhibit

GltiOnal Instructions in effect, as follows:
The evidences shows, without contradiction,
that all of Exhibit A, except the heading
thereof, is conn Osed of copies of papers filled

Madagascar Kicks Uncle Sam.

The president sent to congress, in reply to
q house resolution, batch of correspond.
en-. e touching recent affairs in Madagascar.
In Secret aIy BHyard's letter TO the president
he ates that sine the reception of United
States consul Campbells dispatch of Oct IL
last from TamatiYe, Madagascar, the de-
partment has been informed Of the killing of
Mr. Stanwood, the United States consular
agent at Andakabe by O man named Du
Nerges, said to be the master of an American
schooner called the Solitaire. AS the nc
counts OF this incident in the possession of
the department are as yet imperfect, it will
be necessary to make it the subject OF q
further communication. Mr.. Campbell COM
plains of lack of cOui tesy shown him by the
Malagassey minister of foreign affairs in
answering his communications. Re erence is
made to the aggressive character of
the British consul, p kersgill, in
Dushing the interests OF his country
among the natives, and thus incurring the en-
nifty of consuls of other countries, particu-
larly of Mr. Stanwood, United States con-
sular agent, who was subsequently killed.
Mr.. Campbell, in referring to the claims of
the United States upon Madagascar gained
by treaty, says: Il fear that it will take O.
greater pressure than is IN the power of this
consulate to bring this government to q
sense of it's duty in the fulfllment of its treaty
obligations and stipulations, for 1T will
evade, If possible, hy equivocation and de-
lays its treaty responsibilities l wou Id
therefore suggest to the department the
propriety of instructing the secretary of the
navy to send one of our ships of war here at
the first opportunity, in order to show this
government that we mean that our claims
upon it must be settled and also to visit the
west coast and see what can be done in the
GROVE and Smith case."

A TenderfOOt Stands Treat.

Equally universal, although not

sure is the drinking habit. Through
out the North and East the man
who never takes a drink is not un-

stance declines it is a curiosity At

In their favor by my steady ad-
herence to principle, as l was begin

On my arrival at Rawlins after the
night In the stage before referred to,
! naturally felt somewhat grateful to
the driver who had brought me safe
ly through the fearful storm. II
there ever was time when "some-
thing to warm a fellow up" seemed
fitting and appropriate, the morning
after an all nights stage ride with
the thermometer near zero seemed
the proper occasion, and why should
I not show my appreciation to the
driver In the generous Western style?
In this state ofmind when we arrived
at the hotel, expressed to him my
gratitude and, leading the way to
the bar, asked him "what he would
have" To my utter astonishment
and everlasting shame he remarked
politely, II am very much obliged
to you, but | never drink"

what a stunning rebukc. A stage

The fires that year were made memorable
by the hairbreadth OF several crews, who

through burning forests when it was inpos-

the anthracite region about Pottsville, Pa,
the fire ragged for a week, destroying an in

The fires Of 1913 in the Ohio and Wabash
valleys destroyed much property, but no
lives were lost, as there were belts Of timber
along the creeks which would not burn, and
the fire was confined chiefly to the ridges.
