Minister Reid has explained to the French
government by directions from Washington
that the reception of the Comte de Paris in
America has no political significance what
ever, and that the United States has the
friendliest feeling toward the French re-
public.
1t is noticeable that even those newspapers
which are unfriendly to the Salvation ARMY
and its practices as a whole speak in terms
of unqualified eulogy regarding the late Mrs
Booth, whose life is held up as a model of
earnest and intelligent devotion to the cause
of humanity.
The movement for universal suffrage is at

OLYMPIA. WASH, Oct. S.-A terrible
tragedy occurred near South Union,
eight miles from here, last night.
Frank Smith, son of A. c. Smith, the
well known pioneer of Tacoma, at
tempted to kill his wife and father-ln-
law, John Crisp. His wife had left
him because of his habitual intoXica-
ton, and was riding with her step
father to his ranch at South Union.
Smith rode ahead on horseback, and
At last he reached the house of Rev. A.
Hopkins, and there secured 3S-caliber
Winchester, stating that he wanted to
kill some game. He waited be behind
tree. and at the approach of the wagon
CRED four shots, two taking effect in each
arm and another lodging in book in
the coat pocket Of Mrs. Smiths STEP
father, and the fourth grazing the wife's
dress. Crisp fell back in the
wagon and the woman drove on,
the horse going at breakneck speed.
Smith then laid down by tree and blew
his brains out with the same rifle. The
doctors say Crisp will recover. Smiths
family came from Rochester, Minn.,
where they are well known. A. G..
Smith went to Tacoma fifteen years ago,
where he acquired property which is
now worth fully a million dollars.
Young Smith has been the black sheep
of the family and caused them a great
deal of trouble.

BLACK FOR MERRIAM.

Him This Time.
Special to the Globe.
LAC QUI PARLE, Oct. s.-The fight
between the two factions of the Re-
publicans Of this county, which has
been on for the past two years, was not
helped by the Republican county con-
vention held at the county seat one
week ago, but has had the effect of
making the breech wider. The ticket
nominated does not give satisfaction to
one faction, and will have the effect of
losing many votes to w. r. Merriam,
which he might get if there was any
thing like harmony in the party. The
Alliance organization will hold a county
convention OH the 18th inst, and place
full county ticket in the field, and
the Democrats will in all probability
lndorse the Alliance nominees at their
convention, which will be held on the
18th. Owing to the split in the Repub-
Hcan ranks of this county over the leg
lslatlYe ticket, it is thought by shrewd
politicians that the Alliance legislative
ticket will have sure thing of an cleo
ton. And it is very bold party man
who predicts that W. r. Merriam will
baye even plurality of the votes of
tins county. Two years ago Hon. E. NJ.
wilson received 600 votes out of the
1,T00 cast in the county, which left Mer-
Ram LOO plurality. This year there
will probably be 2,U00 votes cast, and
shrewd men are predicting that Wilson
will receive between 700 and 800, and
that Mr.. Owen, the Alliance candidate,
will poll at least 600 or 700. 1t is an ull-
deniable fact that the farmers of this
county are up and doing, and they will
be heard from Oh the 4th of November.
1t will take good many speakers and
lots of doodle" TO turn the tide in old

OF the killing and shooting last night:
Burrows was locked sinl the sheriff,s
office inside the Jail. and was guarded
by McDuffee, one of his captors, and
negro. Carter, the other captor of the
outlaw, went to the hotel and went to
sleep with the money found on Bur-
rows in his possession. Burrows
was handcuffed and his feet tied.
A short time beforeday this morning he
complained of being hungry and asked
for something to eat. and McDuffee an
swered that he had nothing to eat. A
pair of saddle bags taken from Burrows
was lying in one corner of the room. II
have some crackers IN my saddle bags
there, if you will hand them to me-"
said the prisoner, and McDuffee handed
the saddle bags to Burrows without
opening them. Burrows put his man.
acled hands into the bag for mo-
ment and brought out two pistols
with which he covered McDuffee and
the negro. and ordered them to unite
him, which they did. he Keeping the
negro in front of him. Burrows then
disarmed both men and unlocked the
front door and asked where Carter was
with his money, and when told that he
was at the hotel he ordered the negro to
show him the way there, remarking
that he was going 10 have the money.

went to Carter's room, and, getting the
drop on him, demanded his money.
Carter sprang to one side. and, drawing

life. He received the outlaws bullet
in his shoulder. the bullet from

men, passing through the body and
he fell dead. Carter is badly wounded
but will recover. The affair created

ROBBED OF TREssEs.
Hair Stolen From Fair Owner
by a Detroit Scoundrel.

Dy a DetfOiC SCOunOrel.
DETROIT, Oct. S.-Residents of the
western part of the city are wildly ex
cited over the actions of professional
hair thief. who, by his cunning and
methods, has gained the name of ''Jack,
the hair cutter" About six weeks ago,
while young woman with beautiful
black hair was on her way home in the
early part of the evening, a man stepped
up to her side and threw his arms
around her neck so that she could not
make any outcry. In an instant he
had loosened her hair from its fasten-
ings and almost as quickly had
severed it close to her head.
Then he pushed her rudely
from him and escaped before she could
call for help or see enough of him to
get description. Since then two girls,
been robbed of their tresses near the
same spot. He reached the climax of
his boldness last night. Miss Fannie
OLeary. seventeen years old, was go
ing home from neighbor'S house when
tall, slim man accosted her on the
street. She called him a loafer
and he passed down side
street. There were a number of people
on the sidewalks, and Miss O'Leary felt
no lear. one ldu nearly r6aCneQ nome
when the same man jumped out from
an alley and caught her by the throat in
such way that she could not scream.
He drew her to his breast by
quick motion. and she saw the
flash of steel and felt gentle
tug on her hair, which she
wore in coil on the top of her head.
in the twinkling of an eye she felt
something glide over her head and then
was pushed into the gutter, and the
man escaped before she could call for
help. He tried to hold her in such a
manner that she could not see him, but
she managed to get a good look at his
face and has furnished good descrip-
tion to the police. She says he is fully
six feet tall, very slim, and wore light
overcOat and black hat. He has black
eyes and black mustache and pleasant
appearing face. The police are on the
lookout for him aided by Miss O'Leafy's
description, but they will not be needed
if the people get him first. All the girls
robbed describe his way of holding
them in the same manner, and leave no
doubt about its being one person who
has robbed them all.

New YORK, Oct. S.-Speaking of the
edict against women being vaccinated
On the leg, issued by Health Commits
sioner Wickersham. of Chicago, DR..
Edison said to-day that the vaccination
bureau of this city did not do much
business in that style. New York
women VINO don't want their arms dis

be vaccinated ON the leg. About

pay conveniently theS5 usually charged
by practicing physician, applied to
the health department. One and all

as we'll as aesthetic reasons, to having
their arms marked up, and they were
vaccinated ON their legs. The calf of
the leg was chosen for the insertion of
the vaccine. The patients were in
walking dress, and the proceedings dis
turbed the peace of mind of the young
doctors who did the tattooing. One
actress complained to DR.. Edison that
she had not been vaccinated properly
because the physicians hand trembled.

LOVELY AND LovABLE.
Missives Sent by Chorus Girls to
Clubmen.

SIl1OIlcHs
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.-Trouble Is
brewing for the management of the
Pauline Hall Opera company, Of which
Marie Jansen is the bright particular
star. In the chorus are a number Of
unusually pretty and vivacious girls.
Three or four of these, it is said, shocked
the morals of several staid members of
the Union League club by informing
them by letter that they (the girls) were
both lovely and lovable. and that they
would not object to a trip around
the town after the performance. By
inadvertence couple of these missives
fell into the hands of members of the old
Calvinistic school, and they, after re-
covering from the shock, lost no time in
communicating with the manager of the
company. The management, failing to
fasten the responsibility ON the chorus
girls directly concerned, called all of
the girls on to the stage, and, selecting
four of the prettiesI, discharged them
instanter. In vain they wept and
pleaded innocence. Manager Stern was
obdurate, and, while admitting that ne
had no positive proof, said he must
make an example. To-day the girls
brought suit against the management
for $1,000 each. The girls in question
are known professionally as Madeline
Daily, Evangeline West, Nina Berlilini
and Lucille DegroiX.

Must Wear Suspenders.
OswEGo, n. Y, Oct. 8.-The edict has
been issued, and by it the young lady
students of the Oswego State Normal
school are forbidden to wear garters,
or at least the historic style of garter
made famous by Edward Ill. of Eng
land. who in 1850 created the "Order of
the Carter" recognized to this day as
the first knightly order of Eng
land. Kings and queens and
the titled women of royalty may,
if they wish, continue to wear the
old style, but DR.. Mary Y. Lee will see
to it that the young ladies who attend
her classes in physical culture in our
normal school wear their hosiery sus-
pended by the side elastics attached to
an undergarment at the waist or by
none at all. DR.. Lee says the old style,
whether worn above or below the knee,
hinders free circulation. prevents de-
vclopment and is injurious to the ladies.
DR.. Lee first made war upon the corset
and tight lacing, then she gave her at
tentiOn TO the high-heel shoes worn by
the young lady students. The first
mentioned garments were Supplanted
by snug-ftting waists, and now pupil
of the normal can be told by the style
of her shoes.

Terre Haute's Ex-Treasurer Stole
the City Blind.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct S.-The
special committee that has for month
or more been investigating the books
and accounts of ex-City Treasurer Fitz-
patrick reported to the city council last
night that there is shortage of 81, 156
during his term and SS,376 during the
second term, total deficiency of S15,-
532. Fitzpatrick has turned over all his
real estate to his bondsmen, but it will
tall $4,000 short of paying the deficiency.
Fifteen hundred dollars of the money
was money collected from Robinson, his
Immediate predecessor, who was also
defaulter. which Fitzpatrick himself
failed to turn over. The report causes
a sensation, as the finding is that the
defic lency is largely made up of the
grosseSt and most deliberate falsifica-
tions and alteration of the records in
order TO show that the tax collections
were really smaller than they were. 1t
is generally believed that Fitzpatrick
lost the bulk of the money IN politics,
although there is much mystery as to
where the cash went.
