MRS. WOODS STORY.
She Relates How Her Husband Was Muir
dered, and Tells Who, in Her Opin-
ion, the Conspirators Are.

TOPEKA, KAN, June %. - Mrs. S. n.
Wood has written a letter to one of the
newspapers here giving an account of the
murder of her husband 1T Hugoton, Stevens
county, last Tuesday. Mrs. Woods YER
sion Of the killing comedies with other re-
liable reports in SO far as ii shows that the
attack upon her husband was made while
his back was turned, and that all of the
wounds were in his back and side. Mrs.
Wood gives a long circumstantial account of
the murder and states that she has evidence
in her possession that the death of her hus-
band was the result of conspiracy by his
accuses Judge Botkin of the Stevens
county district court, against whom
Wood caused impeachment proceed
ings to be brought in the last state
legislature, and County Attorney O'Con-
ner, whose election Wood was contesting in
the state supreme court, with being the
chief conspirators. James Brennan, the
murderer, she says, was only their willing
tool.
In support of her theory of conspiracy
Mrs. Wood recites the following incident:
&c A little son of ex-Judge Nash said in the
presence of Mrs. Fleming of Ulysses. as we
drove into town, There goes Sam Wood,
and they're going to kill him to-day" The
girl quickly told him to be still; that he
was talking too much.
In conclusion Mrs. Wood says: Il have
not the slightest hope that any of these
murderers. whether in official or unofficial
stations, will ever be brought to justice,
but / do know and thank God that His
eternal justice never fails. l shall try to
be patient and strong. / can only hope and
pray that the time may fly swiftly and that
we shall NJ. be sundered long,

MISTAKEN FOR BURGLARS.
Desperate Conflict Between Officers and
Citizens.


Citizens.
SAN Francisco, CAL, June 21.-Police
Officer Knott attempted to arrest Thea
Golding. Jr, an employee of the Hydrograph
Office at the house of his parents in this city
late last night on charge of horse steal
ing. Golding, Sr., who is an old
Pacific Mail steamship captain, con-
fronted the police with cutlass
and when the latter was re-enforced by
Officers Brown, Gould and Magee, Golding
was assisted by his wife and son. A num-
Der of shots We're fired, and when Golding
was finally arrested and taken to Jail it was
found that Golding, ST., had bullet
fatal. Officer Brown was shot in the right
thigh. Officer Magee had his right
cheek split open by blow from
the cutlass. Golding, Jr, had severe
scalp wound and Officer Knott had Il wound
across the forehead made by a bullet. The
Golding family claim the shots We're all
fired by the policemen after having been
thrown from the porch and the Goldings
claim to have mistaken the police for
burglars. This was also the view taken by
a citizen named B. Camm, who attempted
to arrest one of the policemen and was
knocked senSeless. The warrant for
young Golding's arrest grew out
of horse trade, he refusing to re-
turn horse for which he gave i
watch in trade Mr.. Golding and his son
were to appear in court this morning TO an
swer the charge of assault to murder Police
Officer Knott. Golding, ST., was unable 10
appear owing to his wound, and the case
was continued until Friday, next. with bail
fixed at $500 each.

DISASTROUS FLOODS.
KANSAS FLOODS IN LYON AND
ADJOINING COUNTIES
Submerged by Recent Heavy Rains-Many
Farmers Lose Their Entire Belong
ings-LivestOck Drowned.

EMPoRIA, KAN, June 2S-Reports are
just reaching this city of great damage
caused by the heavy rains of Thursday in
this and adjoining counties. Many farms
have been entirely flooded, and barns, i'm
plements and entire crops washed away.
On the farm of John Statler, on Jacobs
creek, large orchard was destroyed, and
hedges of ten years growth We're washed
away. The storm also did great damage to
buildings. AT Taylor's ranch, shocked
grain and binder were carried away. Tay-
lor Marsh lost a field of rye and fourteen
head of hogs. People We're compelled to
flee for their lives to high land. and see
their property destroyed. All farms about
this place are submerged. At Soden's mill,
Just below Emporia, Cottonwood is out of
its banks and spread over the country for
miles. In the flood, as it passes, may be
seen all kinds of wreckage, barns, parts of
all kinds of farm machinery, wheat in
abundance, and here and there a piece of
driftwood, of wagon-bed or dead animal.
The flood is now subsiding

NORTHERN CROPS.
Recent Rains in Most Instances Beneficial.

ST. PAUL. MINI, June 2S-The storms
OF yesterday and to-day We're general
throughout the Northwest, which will do
crops inestimable good. In few points
rain did some damage, but in L majority of
cases it was heavy, but was not accom-
panied by severe winds. Spring wheat IN
Central Minnesota, owing to the rains, is fair
to good and holds an average in every
way except lateness. In Southern Mime
sofa the harvest will be earlier than usual,
many fields having already headed out.
South Dakota reports the present condi-
ton OF spring wheat 20 per cent better than
last year. Rain will be needed again in
about a week In Northern Dakota there
has been plenty of rain, water still standing
on the low lands.
Wisconsin reports the last ten days as
more favorable for growing crops, which
are thin or backward.

they are losing money because they can
not get rates that will enable
them to compete at their own doors with
the pr ducts of Eastern mills. What is
true OF Galveston factories is largely true
of similar industries IN various towns and
cities of the state. They are choked of by
extortfonate freight rates and stand prac-
tically idle or proftless, while their East

RUSSIA'S GREAT RAILWAY.
It viii Cost $1S3,sss,oOO, and WIN b,
Nearly 5000 Miles Long.

It Will Cost 41S3.sss,OOO, and Will BE
Nearly 900 Miles Long.
The construction Of tho worlds longest
railroad IL progressing rapidly along the
river valleys and across the steppes of 81
IBERIA, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. The
western extremity of the road is the mining
town of MASK on the eastern side of the
Ural range, and it's eastern terminus Is at
Vladivostock, on the sea of Japan, making
a total length OF 4, 7S5 miles, which is nearly
twice the length of the Canadian Pacific.
Its cost, including surveys, grading, build
ing, stations, rolling stock. and, indeed,
everything needed for its construction and
equipment, Is estimated at SIS, 81, oOO-an
enormous amount, but prcttably invested.
and far less than the cost of q useless Euro
pean war. :.
The country through which the road will
run presents no great engineering dificul-
ties, and across the vast plains 1t will hardly
require the grading of a road-bed. 1t Is
also for the most part fairly populous.
much of it beiC very fertile and the rest
rich in minerals; 40 that along It's entire
route the road will open up and develop q
country of magnificent resources and OF al
most inexhaustible agricultural and mining
wealth.
The various results which will eventually
follow the completion of this great work
cannot, of course, be fully estimated In ad-
vance, but some of them may be partially
foreseen. One of these is that by means of
this road Russia leaps at a single bound
into the indubitable position of the most
formidable of Asiatic powers. Through
this road England is made insecure in In
dia. and. whenever the contest for supren-
acy in eastern Asia is preclpltated, the
whole northern frontier of China will be
open at every point to the msssing of Rus
sian troops.
But altogether apart from its availability
and Importance in war, its commercial, in
dustrinl and political possibilities are sim
ply inoalculable. 1t will bring the hidden
section Of Asia into full connection with
the rest of the world. The Russian gov
ernmsnt is now solicitous about keeping
foreigners out of the provinces beyond the
Ural mountains and tho Caspian. With the
completion of this road a new era will
begin. travel and will follow an
unbroken route from the west of Europe to
japan, the ideas of civilization elsewhere
prevalent will be introduced and take root.
and gradually those changes will occur
which will make Asiatio Russia a sharer in
the eommon progress Of humanity.

They dwell apart. that radiant pair;
In different garbs appear;
And while tho vows OF men they share,
Have separate affairs here.
A golden lamp the one Displays,

With sometimes clouds between,
The voice of one enjoins the wise
To mete, and weigh, n prove;

And inly murmurs. Love-"

Why a Lady Was 30 Unattractiye.


81 saw a lady with pInched features. blue
lips and ruddy nose as l came down in the
cars this morning." said one of the leading doc
tors OF America recently. "She was unhappy,
and really did not know the cause But l, as a
physician. though never having seen her before,
knew exactly the source of her trouble. What
was IT, She was suffering from malaria. This,
TO be on the increase"
rs malaria dangerous doctory'
Yes, and no. IL is the indirect cause Of
many. perhaps most diseases. and II always puts
aperson in condition to invite disease, although
It is bad enough OF itself"
And what DO you do for it?N
An There is the hardest part of the sub
1ect, The principal remedy has been Quiuine,
but 10 s not always advisable. One thing, how
ever, Is almost q necessity ia any case of mala-
rla,} and thatiis pure stimulant preferably

XII all the germs ofrmalaria quicker than any
other known thuR.rs.
The remarks Of tho doctor are most valuable,
but he did not go on to state what is known to
tho writer-that both himself snd most promi
nent physicians prescribe Duffys Pure Malt
Nhiekey, Their reasons for this are many the
principal ones being that IL is the only medicinal
whtskey in the market and the only one which
for years has stood the most scrntinizlng chem
ical tests. OF course cheaper and impure whis.
kies have been advocated, and certain unscru-
pulous dealers try to sell them because they can
make larger profit upon them than they can
upon pure and expensive whiskey like Duffy s
Malt; but any one who desires health and TO
Keep or malaria should Insist upon having
Duffy's and take 10 other
