A Big Appropriation.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Marco 19.-The
secretary Of the state board of sgricul-
ture, from estimates reported to the
board ny the heads of the several de-
partments, has compiled an itemized
statement Of the am uuts needed for q
state exhibit at the worlds fair.
This shows that total apppropria-
ton Of 81 ,064 900 will be necessary.
One of the chief items is $50 600 for
an exhibition of the work of the va
rious state charitable institutions.
The total amount set aside for the
agricultural exhibit is $50, 900, and for
the horticultural exhibit $4,000. It
is probable that the legislature will
cut down the appropriation to about
$500 900.

A HUSBANDS AWFUL CRIME.

Stephen Hawkins Cut His Wife'a Throat
 and She BIed for Days Before Found.
 EMIGRATION, N. Y., Dec 14.-Mrs. Stephen Hawkins IS lying at the poin t of death in 8 hospital here, suffer ing from a gaping wound in her throat, inflicted, it is supposed. by her husband. The woman was brought from Milburn, a village nine miles from here, where she and her husband resided in a tum- ble down shanty in the poorer portion of the place.
 Mrs. Hawkins had been missed for several days. by her neigh bors, and f1ual ly several of them took up courage and entered the house. Hawkins tried to prevent them from entering, but he was pushed aside. A horri ble spec tacle presented itself to the visitors. On 8 miserable pallet of straw lay stretched the form of Mrs. Hawkins, with her throat cut from ear to ear. She was deadly pale and terribly emaciated, while all around her was 8 crimson stain that denoted that her life blood had been ebbing away for many hours.
 That she was alive at all was a won der to the physici clans who were hastily called. Upon examination they found that the iugular vein had escaped the knife, but, neverS heless. the conditio on of the woman is critical on account of the immense loss of blood. Mrs Hawkins s was removed to this city and she has made an aute-mortem statement, charg- ing her husband with the crime
 Hawkins is a veretan of the late war, is palsied in one arm and has been a town charge for several years. He has been married twice. His first wife was found dead in her bed about two years ago.

FACT AGAINST FICTION.
The Misleading Character of Circumstan
 tiaI Evidence.

 The Misleading Character of Circumstan-
 tiaI Evidence.
 There is no fgment of the imagina- tion-if it is all within the limits of possibilities-more curious or strange than some things that actually happen. The following is an instance in proof of this:
 A few years ago Frank Millet, the well-known artist, war correspondent and story writer, published short story in leading magazine which had as it's principal feature the mysterious killing of Parisian artist in his own studio, says the Detroit Free Press. A web of circumstantial evidence led to the arrest of a model who had been in the habit of posing for him. But through some chain of circumstances which the writer of this has now for gotten the murder, if murder it can be called, was found to have been caused by the discharge of frearm through the force of capillary attraction. The frearm was used by the artist as studio accessory and was hung in such a manner that he was directly in line with it. Its discharge occurred when he was alone in his studio.
 The story was vivid and ingenious flight of the imagination. Now for it's parallel in fact:
 A recent mum Der of the Albany Law Journal tells of the arrest of man upon the charge of killing his cousin. The dead man was found lying upon a lounge about three o'clock in tho after noon with a thirty 1.-two caiber ball in his brain. The cousin, who had an in- terest of one hundred thousand dollars in his death, was alone with him in the house at the time. The discovery of the real cause of death was due to the lawyer of the accused, who took the rife from which the ball had been fired, loaded and hung it upon the wall and then marked the form of a man upon white sheet and placed it upon the lounge where the man had been found. Then heavy cut-glass pitcher of water was placed upon a shelf above. The temperature was ninety degrees in the shade. The pitcher of water acted as a sun glass, and the hot rays of the sun shining through the water were refracted directly upon the car fridge chamber of the rifle. Eight witnesses were in the room, and a few minutes after three o'clock there was a puff and a report and the ball struck the outlined form back of the ear and the theory of circumstantial evidence was exploded.
 This is interesting, not only because the real occurrence is quite as strange as the imagined one, but because the fact came after the fiction and paral- leled it so closely.

CASHIER COLE GONE
Disappearance of a Prominent
 Citizen of Nyack, N. Y.
HI6 ACCOUNTS ARE ALL RIGHT.
An Unavailing Search Prosecuted for Him
 | Two Days and Nights.

HsfDisappeared Without Reason, and it
 MFeared Hax Gone Insane-The Strange Eent Mentioned in All the Churches
 Ere Alarm Calls Out Hundreds to
 ESrlp the searchers.
 MACK, N. Y, Dec. 14-Edward A. Cole is missing, and this little town is in $a hubbub of excitement. In fact, ths3entre population is out securing thes surrounding county and prying into out-of-the-way places in the hope of Hnding some trace of hi m.
 For five years MT. Cole has been cash fer for the real estate firm of James H. Blailvelt & Co. The firm consists of GeH James H. Blauvelt and Robert H. M Dickinson, and does 8 large busi- ness as agent of the Mutual Life Insur- ance Company and a dozen leading fire insurance companies. He attended all most entirely to their financial affairs, Gem Blauvelt being incapacitated by paralysis, and MT. Dickinson being much of the time on the road.
 Saturday morning MT. Cole left the offioe at Il o'clock and weut to the Nv ack iNaticnal Bank. He made a deposit, asked his father to mail a letter and then disappeared. Half an hour later he was seen in South Nyack, still later ill another direction, and one woman reports that she saw him going toward the river.
 Not until he failed to return at night and all sorts of wild rumors were spread about town did the alarm become gene ral.
 All Saturday night and last night searching parties secured the noun fniN and no1I ok ,1x J. outskirts, and went through Oak Hill and NyAck Rural Cemeteries and along the river front
 esterday reference was made in all the churches to the missing man. At o'clock the deep toned fire bell sound ed d general alarm. It was to summon the entire fire department and other cit zens to join in the search for Mir. Cole Fully 500 men and boys respondel, and the search for the missing man was re- sumed.
 The unusual interest in the case is due to the fact that no man is better known or more popular in Nyack than Edward H. Cole. He is the only son of ex- County Judge Seth B. Cole. is forty four years old, and has wife and three children, one babe a month old. He has been clerk of the village for ten years is Secretary of the Board of Edu- cation, secretary or Oak Hlll cemetery, a Director in the Nyack Choral and Philharmonic Societies, and has served several terms as Justice of the Peace anu Police Justice.
 Thus far only theories as to the cause of his disappearance are advancei. Neither Gen. Blauvelte or MT. Dickin- son will make a public statement, ex- cept to say that expert will examin e the books of the firm. Mir. Cole never showed any signs of mental ab4rration. He has always Deen d man Of sinEuiarly happy disposition an,l quiet tastes, and was devoted to his family. His wife aud parents are almost craz.d by the shock and uncertainty.
