To the Authorities
Whoever MAY Find
These Bodies
PRESENT,

In this letter, which was signed E B.
Soper. were these words:
1T was best for me thus to act
Rather than desert them have slain
them. What would they have done for
a living had left them? Surely they
would have lived miserably. l could
not support them all"
Soper left another note saying that
he was going to Clay county to kill
the devil leaving no doubt of his in
sanity.
Soper's description was given to the
Kansas City police as follows: Aged
SIS. 5 feet inches in height, 40 pounds
weight, red sandy hair cut short. sandy
mustache, blue eyes. square build
Soper is said to be extremely polite on
all occasions One of his peculiarities
is said to be that he can never look any
one squarely in the eye. At Archie it
is not believed that Soper is insane.
Feeling runs high and Judge Lynch
would doubtless speedily settle his case
if he should show up at Archie.
Soper was doing good business at
Archie, enough to have supported his
family in a proper manner, despite the
statement made in his letter.

The Chinese Can Sing.

An impressive scene recently was
presented at the Congregational church
in Stockton. California The occasion
was the celebration of the anniversary
of the Chinese Mission in that city. A
part of the exercises consisted OF sing
ing in chorus and solos and addresses
by the Chinese. The singing. especially
of solos and hymns. was surprise, as
it was generally supposed that the
Chinese were destitute of capacity in
that direction and incapable of appre-
ciating harmony. judging by what trav'
elers in China tell us and of the bar

BY untaught immigrants. One solois'

A BRUTAL MOTHER PUNISHED.
She "Knuckles" Her Little son Until hi,

She "Knuckles" Her Little Son Until His
Head Is Covered with Knots and Con-
tusions.
One Of the most aggravated cases Of
cruelty and extreme brutality was
brought to light this morning by Agent
Frank Stout Of the Society for the Pre-.
vention Of Cruelty to Children. An
Italian woman was arrested at her home
on Seventh street near Scott, and brought
before Magistrate Smith TO answer the
charge of cruelty treating her little
son.
The woman gave her name as Mary
Carmentiz and that Of her son rs Har
mon Carmentiz Neighbors, say, how
ever, that she Is known as Mary File.
The woman is very rough looking, and
during her career OF thirty-6ve summers
she has lost an ear and an eye. She has
not lost her temper.
About two weeks ago the entire
neighborhood was alarmed by the shrieks
aud cries for help that the boy was max
ing and Agent Stout was at once sent for.
The W oman had the boys head pinioned
under her left arm aud with the knuckle
Of her second finger extended out
from her fist, she was ''knuckling or
beating the boy with all her might Every
blow was directed TO the ohild's forehead.
on which they fell with as much force as
would light hammer
The woman desisted'from her inhuman
conduct as soon as she heard that Agent
Stout had been summoned and she at
once quit the place When she thought
that the excitement had died away she
returned, but remained inside her home
and threatened the boy II he told that he
was badly treated. Agent Stout has not
been able TO fad the mother until to-day
and the boy has declared that be was be
ing treated "all right now" whenever
questioned
This morning, however, screams were
again heard IN the house, and Agent
Stout was quickly sent for On
his arrival there be found the
woman holding the child aud bending
his left hand around his arm until il
caused him 20 writhe in pain
The woman was at once arrested
and brought before the magistrate.
Her boy, who Is Q years old, and bright
little fellow, was ptlable sight. His
forehead and ewes were fearfully
swelled and his head was covered with
huge knots, the result OF sknucklng.n
half dozen witnesses told the above
story and the woman herself admitted il.
Through her interpreter she said that
the child was hers aud she had perfect
right to correct 1t as she thought
best. That, she said, lis tue
way every child Is punished IN
Italy. She expressed desire that the
authorities should take the child, as he
caused her great trouble and was o con
slant source of annoyance. She said
also, that she wanted to 20 back TO Italy
and did not want to take the boy.
She will probably not 90 TO Italy FOL
several weeks yet, as the magistrate
adjudRed her guilty and imposed fine o
@2O and costs, amounting 70 $3i. Tn,
magistrate said that the case was wors
than any he had heard for long time.
