By Associated Press.
MosHERvILLE, Mich, November 81.
A ghastly affair occurred here last
night. During the absence of her
husband Mrs. Nathan Strang filled
two tumblers with solution OF Paris
green, and handing one to her daugh-
ter, Maud, a handsome girl of IS,
and taking the other herself she
drank her own dose and forced the
girl at the muzzle Of revolver to
swallow the fatal draught. On her
husbands return she told him what
she had done. 4 doctor was sum
moned, but his efforts were of no
avail. Mrs. Strang died at midnight
in horrible agony, and Maud an hour
later. Maud insisted to the last that
her mother forced her to drink the
poison, and said that she did not want
to die. She begged piteously of her
friends and the doctor to save her
life. The Strangs were much re-
spected. The insanity which led 20
the awful act has been clearly marked
for about two weeks.

The Opera House Last Night.

"Only Farmers Daughter" was
presented at the opera house last
night to full house. Notwithstand-
the inclemency of the weather Mrs
Adelaide Cherie and Mr.. Charles Nor
timer, in double characters, the for
mer as Lizzie Stark, the adventures
and Madame Laurent. the latter as
Jack Eartly, the convict and Philip
Bartram, the accomplice, sustained
their parts admirably. Miss Lille
Graham, as Justine, the farmers
daughter, and Mr.. Lawrence Williams
as the wealthy author, also deserve
special mention.
This company is frst-class one
and deserves the patronage of the

Governor Lee for Tie Senate.

The correspondent of the Alexan-
dria Gazette says: Among the
arrivals at the Metropolitan hotel
today was that of Colonel Cab
MadduX, of Virginia. The colonel
has just returned from an extensive
tour through his state, during which
he met and talked with all sorts of
people, politicians, merchants, farmers,
railroaders, cattle dealers and horse
men. He says the impression
he derived from such talk was
that Governor Fitz Lee will be Sena-
tor Daniels successor in the United
senate, and that, without the gov
ernor's knowledge or consent, his
numerous friends and admirers all
through the state have made up their
minds that such shall be the case, and
that, really, Lee is in the air for the
senate. Long before the election the
colonel says, the governor will be a
resident of and have a large interest
in the mining section of the state.
This will be surprising TO some people,
but it is what Colonel Cab MadduX
says.

Murder In Giles County.

Information was received here yes
terday of terrible murder which
was committed at Newport, Giles
county, few days ago. The dead
body of Ed. Wall, manager of Hun
ter's distillery, at that place. was
found in the still-house. His throat
was cut from ear to ear and his heart,
it is stated. was literally cut out.
The door of the still house had been
locked on the inside and the key was
found in Wallis pocket. This was
done to make it appear that it was q
case of suicide, but the evidence OF
murder was too strong for this ruse
to deceive anybody. No arrests had
been made at last accounts, but unless
suspicious are at fault, one or more
will bemade at an early date.

CHICAGO, November 21.-Albert
Boulton, OF Alburg, Australia, is in
the city. To reporter he said: "The
project of consolidating the Austria
liam continent into one powerful state
is slowly but surely gaining ground.
Within two years definite plan for
the founding of the new nation will
be forwarded to the colonial Office
for the endorsement of the crown.
Before long and without the
slightest commotion in England or
Australia the mother country will
see this great group of her colonies
pass into a new nation of the Uni
ted States of Australia. Like your
country Australia will be practically
free from invasion. Her people have
already shown desire to be supreme
in the Pacific, which cannot be graft
fed unless her government possesses
the means of ruling dependencies not
admitted to political equality. New
Guinea alone is a kingdom in area
and rightfully -',"'ongs to Australia.
Is IN independent republic. stralia

is to settle and govern the only
valuable possession which Europe has
left for the next conquerinS power"

GAINESVILLE, Texas, November q.
An attempt was made near Marietta
Monday night to rob the Kansas City
mail and express. Two masked men
were discovered concealed in the thick
brush near the Santa Fe track about
0 p. m, and the fad was telegraphed
to this city and also to the conductor
of the south-bound Kansas City train.
Officers went from here on a special
train to where the masked men were
seen, but failed to find them. The
south-bound train soon arrived with
twenty men aboard, who made search
for the supposed robbers, but failed
to discover them. This makes the
second attempt to rob the Kansas
City train at the same point in the
last two weeks. Bunch, the notorious
train robber, is known to have been
in that neighborhood, and these at
tempted robberies are believed to be

I'VE have $4,000 in the Buena

Fire In n western Union ONCE.
3y Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 21.-A fire
broke out in the tenth story OF the
Western Union Building at 4 o'clock
this morning. All the Associated Press
wires were shut off for the night, ex-
cept the Western circuits. The floor
on which the fire broke out was filled
with Western Union records and old
dispatches, etc. The firemen had con-
siderable difficulty in getting the hose
up to the burning floor, but after they
succeeded it took only short time to
get the flames under control. There
was little or no excitement, except
among the women and girls employed
in the restaurant, who were asleep
on the eleventh floor. Damage to
the building, $1,000; to stock, LOCO.

largely interested in sugar mAnIf;;c

1.-THE sentiment of the business
men of Cuba is fer annexation
with the United States il
it can be brought about he
said to me some days ago. They
feel that nothing else would so mate
rally develop the great natural re-
sources of the island. No richer soil,
no finer tropical climate ana 30 finer
people exist in the world than in
Cuba, and, while she is rich and pros
porous, not half her resources have
been developed to the extent to which
they are capable. Our people like the
Americans They feel that the real
market for their products is in
the United States, and this coun-
try furnishes what we want.
The advantages of commercial
union is apparent to every one, aud is
the parent of the feeling for a stronger
union. Cnba's proximity to the
United States is another reason for
the prevalent feeling Of annexation,
which Cubans believe is not very far
off. With the added volume OF trade
which that would open up, and the
influx of northern dollars backed by
northern enterprise and northern bus
mess methods, there would be i'm
mense financial benefit to both. and
ultimately closer relations. either
commercial or political, must Ice

Boomers Bounced as Bummers.
ARKANSAS CITY, April 24.-The
boomers who are flocking out of Okla
homa in disgust and are intending to
gobble the Cherokee strip will meet
another back set. Gen. Merritt in
command of the military forces in the
Oklahoma country has ordered a
troop of the Seventh Cavalry under
command of Captain Hays to take
full control of the strip, and he has
been ordered to permit the boomers
three days for rest in crossing, and
then to drive them off.
Chaos reigns not only in Oklahoma,
but in the entire tributary country.
The railroad is Frustrated, connections
entirely cut off. The Western Union
with it's crush of train dlspatching,
can not touch a message of any other
character In the territory though the
earth swallowed town site. Guth-
rie's back seems broken and there is
furious stampede to get out. People
there are wild from deprivations that
lack of shelter, water and food i'm
pose upon them. To these distresses
are added misfortunes~ Of tempest,
heat and absence of means of flight.
Freight trains were mounted where
ever a man could find foOthold.
1t was useless to attempt to enforce
laws, as the people were fleeing prac-
tically for their lives. Every freight
train that leaves is piled with fugi-
tives thirsty and famine stricken and
Arkansas City is crowded as it was
before the descent. The terrible
storm of last night raised the mis-
cries of Guthrie to almost horror.
A violent wind arose as the sun sank
and a deluge of rain followed and
beat upon the thousand Of shell
terless. The railroad is utterly
incompetent to relieve the situation.
Curses are heaped upon the region
and the government marshals Needles

for the theft of the land; the railroad
is denounced for it's feeble service.
