l fear the track will go with the next

water comes from the Colorado river
which it leaves at Pilot Knob, there is
little doubt"

Demaree, % years of age, living with
his father and mother and two sis.ers
and two brothers on Sixth street in his
city, on Friday afternoon cut the thr oat
OF his aged mother. who lay sick in bed
with the grip, and then cut his cwn
throat from ear to ear, each dying in
stantly. At the moment when the
young man sent his mothers and his
own soul into eternity there was in an
adjoining room a Miss Green, a boarl-
ing student of the State university, and
the S-year-old sister of the matricide
and suicide, but they didn't hear a
sound of the shocking deed going
on SO near them. Upon going into
the sickroom they We're Mortified

nearly severed from her body lying
dead in a pool of blood and Ward De.
maree in like condition on the floor.
Demaree had been college student
for some time and had been studying
languages preparatory to attending
Princeton college. At the time of the
tragedy an older daughter was alb
sent at school and the mother
lay upon the bed sick. Two smaller
children were about the house. The
mother, seeing that her son had q
razor in his hand as he approached her
bedside, motioned the children from the
room. Ward approached his mothers
bedside and with one slash of the razor
nearly severed her head from her body.
The son, after looking at his fiendish
work a minute or more, knelt on the
floor and with the same bloody weapon
cut his own throat. The bed and floor
presented ghastly spectacle to the ex-
cited people who soon crowded into the
room. The tragedy was enacted in the
heart of the city. All parties are
highly connected. The family knew
of the sons alteration of mind, but
had kept the matter profound secret.

stftute the other evening on the subject
Of the wifc's share. This is a talk" Of
which l never tire. In it took occa-
sion to speak of the grumbling way in
which some farmers dole out money to
their wives: how the wife often has to
ask and almost beg for what is simply
her own in justice. The next day was
talking with a well known manufac-
turer ard merchant, in the town, on the
subject. lie thought did not overstate
the matter. He said that farmer and
his wife were in his store trading. No,
mean that the man was trading, and
the wife. or servant, or slave, was
standing by. While doing this, she
picked out three or four little articles
on the fve-cent counter (only costing
five cents each) and asked her husband
to let her have them. She pleaded that
she would like them SO much. He an
swered, with an oath, NO. by, you
can't have any money to spend on such
tcm-fcolery." Webster defines slavery
as having ones will under the control
OF another. Isn't that woman a slave?
Are there not great many farmers
wives, and town mems wives too, who
are slaves to q greater or less extent?
And still suspect that even the man
spoken Of above was not really as bad
a. his words might indicate. Let us in
charity. while condemning the deed in
strong language, think as well of the
man as possible. Doubtless money
came slowly and hardly to him. Per-
