OF. LOUIS, req. Sl.-ot. LOUIS touay re-

one of her adopted sons. No man was
more beloved and respected; no man had
a more brilliant career, achieved more

the entire people of the United States

Tecumseh Sherman. All that was mortal
of him was received by his former fellow
citizens and soldier comrades in his old
home in a manner becoming his career as
a man and a soldier.
ST LOUIS was no dressed in somber-
hued raiment; few buildings or public
edltices bore black crepe, but st. LOUIS
bore her loss with as deep u feeling as if
these symbols were legion.
Flags all over the city were at half
mast. Some large buildings and stores
were draped, and in many windows We're
TO be seen black framed pictures of the
dead general. The business of the city
was entirely suspended and the streets

cidents occurred. Later in the day when
the sleet melted and fell from the wires
and linemen were enabled to repair dam
ages, communication was established for
short distances. The most serious dam
age to lines, however, was at more DIS
tant points. Beyond tho Mississippi
river, lines running through Minnesota,
Iowa and South Dakota suffered most
heavily. The storm was very severe and
poles and wires went down together over
long stretches. Toward the southwest,
south and east the same condition of
things prevailed. All wires were re-
ported dowa. 1t was practically II clean
sweep. At the Offices of the Western
Union it was said the company had suf-
fered more than a, any time since 1888.
This morning the only communication
was northward. Not only wires, but
many Of the poles were down. Large
forces Of linemen were sent out and, at
ter a time, a quadruplex wire was got
through to Cincinnati and communica-
ton with the rest of the world was grad
ually opened up in a precarious sort of

predicts that tomorrow will be much
colder with some snow.

WHEELING, w. Va. Feb. 20.-The
scene in the flooded district is one of deS-
oIa:ion and rum, but the inhabitants have
gone to work bravely to repair the dam
age and are as cheerful as possible under
the circumstances. There Is much suf-
fering among the poorer classes, but
there will be no appeal for outside aid.
Tue city is abundantly able to care for
every want. At Parkersburg and points
between Wheeling and that place the sit
uation is very discouraging. At 7 o'clock
tonight water at Parkersburg is forty
four feet and eight inches deep and Is
still rising. The steady rise last night
and TO-DAY is astounding to the oldest iu-
habltants. 1t has now exceeded the high
est limit predicted by the most reckless
and the destruction will be very heavy.
Business has been paralyzed. Parkers.

A FOUL MURDER,

4 Thirteen-Year-Oid Girls Throat Cut
From Ear to Ear by u Robber in Order
to Conceal His Identity and the Savings
of Years Carried OFF.
HAzLEToN, Pa, July 23.-Lattiner,
a small mining town miles from here,
was yesterday the scene of a most
brutal and cowardly murder. Mrs.
Garoyer went huckleberrying at an
early hour in the morning and left her
daughter, Mary, aged 13, at home to
attend to the baby.
Upon her return shortly after noon,
she found the doors bolted, and upon
forcing them found the dead body of
her daughter lying on the floor in a
pool of blood, with her throat cut from
ear to ear. At her side lay a big
butcher knife.
At first it was thought that an as
sanlt had been attempted, as the
clothes were badly torn and deranged,
showing signs of furious struggle, and
that the murderer killed the girl to
;sover the crime. But this is not sus-
tanned upon further examination.
It Is supposed that a man en-
tered the house to rob the
Family of their savings, which were
gerry large. The box containing the
savings of years is gone. and it is sup
posed the robber was caught in the act
by the girl. whom he murdered to con-
sceal his identity. There is no clew to

A DEGENERATE SYSTEM.
Criminal Extravaganza of n Corrupt Ad-
ministration.

The extravaganza of the present
republican administration at Washing
ton and the reckless expenditures of
the billion congress are we'll set forth
by the New York Commercial Bulletin,
an authority whose conservatism in
statement is proverbial. The expendi-
lures of the government for the past
fi.cal year were S3SS, 600, 900, and of
this amount ST., 100, 900 We're paid in
interest on the public debt, premiums
on bonds and on account of the ma
tional bank redemption fund. In 1880,
the net ordinary expenditures of the
government were $3.50. 900, 900, and in
1890 they were 1891 200, coo. During the
last fiscal year they reached the UMPIRE
cedented sum of S317. 500, 900. There
has been no unusual warrant for such
an increase, and the only explanation
that can be given for it is criminal ex-
travagance. The most prominent fea-
ture of this recordcis pensions, which
have more than doubled during the
past decade. The expenditures on this
account for the past year reached the
alarming figure of 1924, 400, 900. Ten
years ago, the pension appropriations
amounted to so, 000 600. and yet there
was no complaint on the part OF nom
est claimants that their claims were
neglected. But it was only during the
past two years that the sharks in
Washington contrived to get from the
billion congress and a corrupt pension
bureau what they had failed to gain
previously. The outgo of the peoples
money for pensions has now reached
such a frightful extent that halt is
imperatively demanded. The revision
of the pension lists is absolutely neces-
sary, for it is a notorious fact that on
those lists are thousands of names
which have no right to be there.
The system, originally conceived in
the best patriotic spirit, and intended
to exemplify the nations gratitude to-
wards its defenders, has degcnerated
into a convenient source of col ssal
fortunes to the worst brood of harpies
that ever afflicted government. The
pension Office has been so demoralized
under Tanner and Raum that it has be-
come a by-word of shame. One COM
missioner, who boldly announced his
intention to bankrupt the treasury and
allow the thieving system of rebating
