A TERRIBLE GRIM e.
Durango's Boy Murderer Confesses 4 ap-
tured in New Mexico

DURANGO, Colo, Sept 29,-That Ralph
Ray is the murderer of his own mot her
is no longer a matter Of doubt. Ray has
been captured and he has confessed
Sheriff Kit Carson and Under Sheriff Tom
Delaney have been hot on the trail OF
the assassin ever since last Wednesday,
when the murder was first discovered
Young Ray made a desperate attempt to
elude his pursuers, but he covered his
tracks poorly. Ray was caught last Sat
urday evening near Canon Largo, in San
Juan county, N. NJ. The murderer was
arraigned yesterday, and after the charge
was heard, arose, faced the crowd and
answered guilty. Many people in the
audience were more affected that this
iron nerved boy murderer. The coronei's
j,ry brought in verdict OF wi'fhl murder
against young Ray.
Young Ray says he quarreled with his
mother about his going to the Farming
ton fair; went out and got two irnks OF
liqnor, came into the kitchen and with a
hatchet committed the crime. Then he
dragged the body to his room and writing
note saving that his mother had been
killed and he had gone in pursuit OF the
MnruereTS, mounted Il loiSe anu llcu.
Edward Ray, the gray haired father OF
the murderer, lies at room at the Slater
hotel, his mind unbalanced from the ter
rible occurrences OF the week, and he does
not know that his son is the murderer OF
his wife. He does not recognize any Of
his friends and imagines that he is still at
work in his mine.
The son was informed of his fathers
pitiable condition. "Oh, he'll get over
that all right" was all the reply given.
1t is one of the most terrible, most revolt
ing murder cases that has happened in
the west. The date for the trial has not
yet been set. 1t is expected that justice
will be speedy.

A PriYate's Bad Break.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The suggestion OF
"Private Dalzell" that the Worlds fair
should cause to be erected building for
the accommodation of survivors of the
Union Army who may visit Chicago from
time to time during the Worlds fair,
has provoked a storm of remonstrances
from Grand Army veterans everywhere.
The majority Of them say that the
veterans are able to look out for them
selves, and that they do not care to be
put on exhibition as pigs, prize pump
kins, big steers or mammoth trees. Some
of the letters protesting against Dalzell's
scheme have been couched in pretty
strong language. The Worlds fair au-
thorities will heed the remonstrances
rather than the original demand of the

1t is doubtful if any railway enterprise

The liberality Of Mr.. M. Z. Pels, on be-

1T PAYS

To be cautious in the choice of medi-
cines. Many are injured by trying ex-
periments with compounds purporting
to be blood purifiers, the principal
recommendation of which would seem
to be their "cheapness." Being made
up of worthless, though not always
harmless, ingredients, they may well
be "cheap;" but, in the end, they are
dear. The most reliable medicines are
costly, and can be retailed at mod
crate prices, only when the manufacture
ing chemist handles the raw materials
in large quantities. 1t is economy,
therefore,

Deed of a Church Pew.

There are but few living, comparative
ly, who remember the old square box
pews that were formerly built in our
churches. Yet they were once family
possessions, handed down from father to
son or sold like any other piece of prop
erty. Ex-Town Clerk Peck has the deed
of such pew, two thirds of which was
sold by Horace NJ. Shepard to Squire
Dibble for 81. The deed describes the
pew as situated in ssthe Presbyterian
meeting house, so called, on the south
side of said house, being the fourth pew
from the west end of said house, former
ly occupied and owned by my father,
Timothy Shepard, Esq, dec'd.' This
deed is dated April z, 1925, and was wit
messed by Samuel G. Blackman and Sam
uel G.. Blackman.
Both Mr. and Mrs Peck remember these
old pews, which had seats on three sides,
the elders sitting where they could look
at the preacher and the children, which
were fashionable then, at the same time.
The sides of these pews were high enough

by single box stove that stood in the
aisle in front of the pulpit and which fail
ed to warm the house on cold days. The
ladies of that day took foot stoves to

ing replenished from Judge Samuel g.

The last State canvas shows that one
fifth of the married women of Massachu-
sets are childless. 1t is said that in no
country save France can similar con-
dition of affairs be found. On the other
hand, instead of over 20 per cent, only
IL ~ per cent of the foreign-born women
of Massachusetts are childless. What is
true of this State is undoubtedly in a
greater or less degree true throughout
the country. The time has come when
we must face the fact that the increase
of population by birth is decreasing, that
the tendency of the times among well-to-
do Americans is to small families and
that one-fifth of our native married wo-
men are childless.-[Chicago Tribune.
