children. She succeeded in throwing
the three youngest of her children out
of the third story window Of her
house III Louisville. The three
children struck an iron railing
below and were instantly killed. Mrs.
Newcomb tried to kill Victor and his
brother, but the child's nurse had ar
rived i'll time to throw mattress on
the ground below the window SO that
the two boys were not killed by the
fall. The unfortunate woman was
committed to the Mclean insane asy-

SENTENCE DAY.
Preston, Dunham and Knight Re-
ceive Sentences for Wrong-Do-


ceive Sentences for Wrong-Do-
ing.
Yesterday was sentence day in the
criminal court, and Judge Pond meas
ured out Justice to several of the Grim
inal fraternity. The first man called
upon to take his medicine was Edmun
Preston, he of forgery fame in the
erich libel suit. His crime was grand
larceny. When asked if he had any
thing to say he replied in the affirma-
tive, and went on to state how he
had been led into ''rascality" by
members of the police department.
He said he was drunk at the time he
committed the larceny and got the
liquor from Crich. In general way he
blamed the trio, Crlch, Griffin and
Blake, for his present predicament. He
complained bitterly that he had a wife
and four children with no one to help
them while he was doing time. In Judge
Ponds opinion justice in his case was
represented by four years and six
months in the penitentlary.
b. V. Durham, the One-legged forger,
got an even two years in the pen"
The forging of an order on w. S. Mott
q Co.. for few dollars, will prevent
his going to the worlds fair.
Emmett f. Knight, who was found
guilty of renting bicycle and after
wards selling it, was refused a new
trial. After his attorney got through,
Knight himself addressed the court
He laid claim to being newspaper man,
and begged for mercy. as he was in the
"bloom of manhood" and for the sake
of his mother. Justice was tempered
with mercy in his case, as he was let
off with a fine of S75, instead of a term
in states prison.

suit was brought for the balance of
sl,700.

seem wisest to us to bring about this alb
solutely necessary result.
That didn't sound just right to some
of the brethren. There was too much
nothing but absolute prohibition"
about it. DR.. Wayland Hoyt intro
duced the following substitute:
Whereas the liquor traffic is a most power
ful hindrance to the gospel Of Christ and an
aggressive enemy to social order,
Resolved. That we favor the speedy and
entire abolition of the liquor traffic; and we
oppose licenses for the traffic in any and ali
the forms through which men buy the right
TO destroy human hope and happiness, and
blight human souls, as an offense against
public morals and a sin against God.
1t was regular political discussion
that followed. There was no mincing
matters. Everybody was outspoken.
DR.. Hoyt said license was good thing
as check to the liquor traffic. Others
objected to license as temporiZing. Some
of the gentlemen of the cloth said sar-
castle things about other gentlemen of
the cloth. Rev. w. H. Geistmeit
one suggested that the discussion would
get into the papers and appear in bad
light. After that the administration
was praised. DR.. Hoyt's. amendment
was lost, 20 to 50. A motion to table
was defeated. Then the resolution was
referred back to the committee. and the
committee discharged, which disposed
of the question.
Reports were made from many
sources. The benevolencies of the as
sociation in the year just passed
amount, in round numbers, to $4,000.
There were twenty deaths during the
year. The committee on the state Of
religion reported, showing favorable
condition of affairs. A history of the
First Baptist church was presented, and
was ordered printed IN the minutes
without reading. The attendance was.
large, and much interest was mani
tested.
In the afternoon women's mission,
home and foreign, was discussed. In
the evening the following addresses
were delivered: "Pillsbury Academy"
by Rev. G. A Reese; Foreign Mis-
sIons," Rev. Frank Peterson; 1.-THE
Young People" by Rev. DR.. Wayland
Hoyt. Rev. NJ. F. Negus was elected

Deplorable State of Affairs in
Guatemala

OudCcDlald.
CITY OF. MEXICO. June 1S.-El Par
tido, Liberal (seml-oficial organ of the
Mexican government, says the financial
condition OF Guatemala is terrible; that
the interior loan of that republic was
ON itted by order OF President Barillas;
that his proceeding was illegal, as the
assembly should have ordered the
omission and not the president, whose
action was owing to disappointment
because the so-called cotton loan'' was
a failure. as Barillas counted on the
proceeds of this loan for use in making
war on Salvador. The same newspaper
also says that President Barillas is
tyrant; that in the Altos district, where
he OWNS several coffee plantations, he
obliges Indians who work for him to do
so without compensation, and that this
tyranny exasperates the Indians, who
are liable to revolt. Ell Cronista, a
weekly journal published in Guatemala,
bitterly attacks what it terms the ''ruin-
Gus" financial policy Of the Guatemalan
government. The Guatemalan election
excitement is extending to Honduras,
where the feeling the feeling against
President Bogran is apparently very
great. Costa Rica is now quiet. except
for excitement about religious affairs.

It's too excessive. Or too
reluctant. Half the time it
means nothing. Words =

This offer to refund the
money, or pay a reward, is
made under the hope that
you won't claim the money
or the reward. Of course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works not
on his own reputation alone,
but through the local dealer
whom you know, must have
something he has faith in

business wouldn't stand a

What is lacking is conf

What He Thinks of Minnesota Pol
itics This Year.

Mark H. Dunnell, of the First con-
gressional district. was at the Nicollet

Mr.. Dunnell said he was about. out of
politics, having retired last fall. In
his opinion, there was less prospect
now than at any other time of fusion
in this state between the Democratic
party and the Farmers Alliance.
Senator Davis chances for reelection
were very fair. he considered, while the
nomination of Mckinley to him had
been foregone conclusion. 1t was
one of the best steps that could have
been taken.
Mr.. Dunnell said the Alliance party
would cut a big figure in politics this
year, but he did not think they would
have plurality at the next election.
The prospects af the Republican party,
he thought, were very bright.
