ent stories about their whereabouts on
that evening. They claimed they went
home and we're not beyond the creek on
the road leading to the scene OF tho mur.
der, which testimony waa proven false.
They were seen on tho railroad bridge
and spoken to by Bell Blake, who after.
wards saw them on top of the Li,tleton
tunnel watching the railroad, aud when
Huggins came in sight they moved on
out tho road. a few minutes later the
hunters met Husgins on tho road above
the tunnel, but did not see Main or Nc.
Masters. A short distance farther
George Gillingham saw them; also Kire
kimble. They were seen by thirteen.
year.old girl at EIijail AIbauvh's
spring They asked if there was any.
thing to drink out Of, and
she told them there was n
can there. They came out OF piece OF
woods below the road. After drinking
they went up: to the road and back,
meeting Hugsins, but again left the road
and took up through Gillinghapl's wheat
deid and came down in the low gap
near where tho murder was committed.
Tho girl was looking for her father to
come home and was watching the road
and saw Hugsins pass Just about the
time the boys got over the knob. Will.
lam Murray had been hauling wood and
had left his sled by the roadside, where
the path came down the knob and inter.
sected the country road, which Higgins
was travelling. Murray heard his dog
barking about dusk and sent boy up
to see about a fence and he came back
and told Murray that some one had
taken two standards out OF his sled, and
within lO0yards or so OF the sled on the
public road is where the dead body was
icund. The next morning the stand.
ards were also found in the woods near
5y. Tho murderers had dealt him q
terrible blow in the back OF the head.
The prisoners are closely guarded and

HEIRESSES FOR SALE.
Germans Led to Think Americans Will
Help Them Out.


Help Them Out.
''lt is characteristic of the present
day." says the London Globe, that
German paper should contain an adver-
tisement offering to supply rich Ameri-
can women to needy Germans of posi-
ton. The advertisement may be and
probably is mere swindlc; but that
such thing should be advertised is in
itself significant. The advertiser APP
peals to Germans having titles or Off.
cial positions-and this includes prac-
tically the respectable male population
of Germany-to write to him in order to
be put into communication with Ameri-
can heiresses with fortunes up to four
millions. All is to be private, photo
graphs are to be interchanged, and the
whole thing is strictly honorable One
sees at once that the thing is as shadowy
as the fascinating, abbreviated adver-
tisements which appear in the Petit
journal, where 'Veuve' or Demoiselle,
with lot of millions, is offered to an
impecunious title; but the fact is quite
characteristic Of the feeling of the mo-
ment.
THE untitled heiress has been so
much on the hunt for mobiles that the
transactions have, as it were, passed
into the market, and the fortunes of
rich young ladies are quoted upon the
Matrimonial Exchange, There is moth
ing new in the situation. Since the
days when the world thought only of
marrying and giving n marriage until
the flood came there has always been a
marriage market; but it has been left to
our own days to make the thing into a
matter of advertisements and quota
tions. 1t is the low-water mark of vul-
garization of the institution of matri.
mony; and, rightly or wrongly, the pro-
ceeding has lately identified itself par
ticularly with American women in fort
une. Nobody can mistake the tendency
of the last ten years in the matrimonial
market 1t has been an openly avowed
barter of money for titles; and it has
perhaps done more than any thing else
to vulgarize the marriage ceremony"

WHY SOLDIERS DESERT.
Officers Think a Man In the Ranks an III
feriOr Being to Themselves.


The following extracts from soldiers
letter received by the writer will show
what life at some of the army posts is
and how recruits view the efforts of the
Government to find out the principal
reasons for desertion:
81 have had the blues worse than Is
usual with me, and that is saying great
deal, for have had one continued fit of
the blues almost ever since came here.
Upon my word, life here is without ex-
ception the deadest, dullest, and most
miserable / have ever experienced.
The same routine day after day, no
change or variety Of any kind, and the
only thing we have to look forward to
is that the winter is drawing to close.
Lately there was Board of Inquiry
in session for a long time for the pur-
pose of discovering the causes of deser-
ton. What conclusion they arrived at
! do not know, but l will say that any
enlisted man of ordinary intelligence
could give many reasons for the great
number of assertions which occur every
year. The idea of number of high Of
ficers of the army determining the cause
of desertion is ridiculous if for only this
reason: Deserters are not given a
chance to state what caused them to de-
sert, and the men who remain (many of
whom only stay because they are afraid
of the consequences), and who could
give the board plenty of information on
the subject if they were allowed, have
no opportunity to air their complaints,
and, as you see, the men who are most
ly concerned are not asked for their
opinions.
During the summer of 1889 articles
were published in several New York pa
pers in regard to food supplied to
recruits at David's island, saying that
an officer of high rank had been inter-
viewed and said that he would be
satisfied to eat the same food as sup
piled to the soldiers there. After being
stationed there four months, am COM
petent to Judge, and do say that at the
very best the food was such as only a
very hungry man would care to eat.
This is easily proved, as nine-tenths Of
the men actually spent the greater part
of their pay in order to get something
they could eat, and for which, by the
way, they were charged double what
they would have to pay in any town or
city. And as you will see, no board of
officers alone will ever determine the
true cause of desertion. Officers think
man in the ranks an inferior being to
themselves, in fact to be general dog
robbers
"We had desertion last night. A
man who was on guard at the stables
deserted his post The relief at a. m.
found his gun and belt, but no sentry,
and when you consider that men find il
necessary to leave in the dead of win.
ter in North Dakota you may consider
that there is something rotten in the
State of Denmark. IN. Y. Times.
