ingalls, manlsro Be Let Alone.

KANSAS Cry, Mo. May 6.-In an
interview yesterday Senator Ingalls, said:
You newspaper men worry the life
out of me. Do you suppose | want to do
nothing but talk for the benefit of penny
%a-liners who make money out of other
peoples ideas2 My thoughts have a
commercial value or you all would not be
running after me. Now, as | talk to every
one who comes along | will cheaper the
value OF those ideas, and that | do not pro-
pose to do. | am not yet out OF public life.
and consequently have nothing to say re-
garding the political situation. | am watch
ing events, and when the proper time
comes every one will know what | think on
the subject. There are a lot of editors over
the country who think they can compel a
man to do as thew want, and When they
find a man who has enough will power to
Withstand them they at once begin to
abuse him and try to force him to give
up to their wishes At present l am IN
private life, and as a private citizen have
the right to have my affairs let alone by
the newspaper fraternity"

that any combination of events in America
should render it necessary for a judicial
body to condone a lynching, but the re-
port proves conclusively that such a con-
dition of affairs exists in New Orleans,
and the staying of HenuessY's assassins
was not only justi6able, but was the only
means OF redress under the circumstances.
Kansas City Times: The report will
settle in most minds the conviction that
the time had come in New Orleans when
the people as a mass were called upon to
enforce the laws.
Cleveland Leader. If the grand Jury
bad briefly disposed of the case by
the assertion hat a community cannot be
expected to charge itself with murder,
the world would at least have given that
body credit for manhood aud common
sense. As it is, the report is very weak
and rambling.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: As far as the
people of Louisiana are concerned, the
report euds the matter. Under the cir
cumstances, Rudini may as well dismiss
the whole subject as a "bootless contro-
versy."

SEATTLE, Wash, May 6.-The presi-
Dental party made the trip from Tacoma
to Seattle on the steamboat City of Seat
tie, escorted by four other steamers. On
their arrival here the docks and roofs of
buildings and vessels were thronged with
people whose enthusiasm found vent in
prolonged cheering.
After disembarking from the steamer,
the party visited Lake Washington and
after the trip there returned to the uni
versitv campus, where a large throng had
gathered. One of the features of the
gathering was over a score of old men
who had voted for the presidents grand
father in 1910. Judge Burke delivered
the address OF welcome and the president
responded briefly.

BRDdEwAIER, Conn May Eek.
Governor Jessup, one OF the most promi-
ZEN citizens of this place, has gone
insane. He was taken violently i'll a few
DAYS ago, but refused to allow a doctor to
come to the house and lived solely on the
faith cure.
Jessup at length conceived the idea that
he was a second Abraham and that the
Lord required a human sacrifice. Thurs
day. being left alone for a few moments,
he prepared for the terrible affair by con-
structlng an altar in his bed room, around
which he piled a heap of combustibles.
Then he caught his little grandchild, one
year old. and placed her on the altar, and
prepared to ignite it. The chIld's cries
attracted a member of the family, and the
old man vas nearly killed III the struggle
to restrain him.

KANSAS CRY, May 6.-At the Y. NJ.
q. A. convention today reports were re-
ceived from various committees. The
report OF the international committee
shows that the association owns buildings
and real estate to the value of Sl2, 25G, 900.
the total Indebtedness being less than
81, $50, 900. Great interest was mani
tested in that part Of the report 10 regard
to the extension OF the work of the asso-
citation TO mission fields. On this point
the report considers that Its field Tor work
in mission lands is now open and so far
as 1t has been attempted the results seem
to establish its value and usefulness.
The general foreign missionary work sug-
gested by some of the associations is looked
upon with alarm. Upon this question the
committee consulted with the Kansas state
committee, within whose jurisdiction
the efforts to promote general missionary
work seems to be the most prevalent. 1t
was generally agreed by the committee
that the associations of the country
ought not, in a technical and legal sense,
to be connected with the general mission
airy movement. The committee Toes not
oppose missionary work. but advocates
every reasonable project looking to a bet
ter knowledge OF Christian missions and
securing support for them. 1t encour-
ages all young men who exhibit a will
~lingness to accept the work of the church
upon foreign fields. The report makes
many recommendations, among which
are: Observance of the second Sunday
in November and the following week for
prayer for association work; establishment
of a fund for the provision OF those who,
having given their lives for association
work, have become incapacitated to earn
. ivlahood

many points in the state show that the
rainfall has been quite general in the
northern and central portions of the state

other crops promise exceedingly well.

BEAUMONT, Tex May G.-Informa-
ton was received here today from Sabine
pass of an attempted murder. Last even
ing a woman appeared at the residence of
A. De Forest, living near that place, at
tired in mans clothing, and gained ad
mission. The inmates of the house soon
detected the intruder. but before the wo-
man could be restrained she succeeded IN
drawing a pistol and attempted to kill
Mrs. De Forest. She was arrested and
incarcerated. Last September this woman
stopped at Orange, claiming to be in
search OF a p~rofiigate husband. After
stopping there several days she secured a
private conveyance and drove to Taylor
bayou, where a terrible scene was enacted.
She found the man for whom she was
searching, but living happily with No. >
She became greatly enraged and attempted
the murder of Mr.. De Forest. He es-
capped. She then attacked Mrs. De For
est who also escaped into the house where
the attack was made. leaving an infant in
a cradle on the gallery. The escape of
the two enraRed the woman beyond reason
and she attacked the child ana shot it
several times with a large caliber pistol
from the effects of which it died a few
DAYS afterwards. The woman escaped
and was not heard OF again until her APP
pearancea at Sabine pass yesterday. There
is no doubt but her mind is unbalanced,
Mr.. De Forest does not deny that she is
his wife, but claims that a separation was
mutually agreed upon.

Left Iusensible.
The Fiendish Work of d De-
serted Woman.

CRY, Kas., May 6.-Bol-
ton township, south of this city, was the
scene Sunday night of an attempted rob
berry and brutal assault. Ten miles south
east OF this city J. A. Wickhne and family
reside upon a farm. They are well to do,
and supposed to have plenty of money.
Sunday evening Mr.. Wickliue and his
two daughters went to religious services
at a school house a mile and a half dis
tant from his home, leaving Mrs. Wick
line and two young children at home.
Shortly after her husband lett Mrs. W lex
line got herself and children ready for
bed. She had just got the little ones
asleep, when she heard a noise, as she
supposed. in Il bedroom. She went into
the room. but could see nothing. She
then went into the kitchen and got a
shotgun and returned to the sitting room,
to see If she could hear the noise again.
In a few minutes she heard a repetition of
the noise. She went to the front door
with the gun in her hands, opened the
door. and as she did so a masked man
stepped in front of her and covered her
with a revolver. He told her he would
kill her If she made a noise. The masked
man was Joined by a man whose face was
blackened with coal dust. They de
handed the money which Mr.. Wickline
had received for a bunch of cattle which
be sold Saturday. Mrs. Wickline said
the money was in the bank The men
her took the gun from Mrs. Wickliue.
knocked her down and kicked her in the
stomach aud side.
Then they commenced to search the
house, and while they were at this Mrs.
Wiekline jumped up and started u run to
a neighbOr's house, q halt mile away.
One of the men grabbed 4 lighted coal oil
lamn and threw il at her, but it missed
her and was mashed to atoms on the stone
walk When Mrs. Wickline had run
about 100 yards she was stopped by a
third man, who was on guard. He
knocked her down with a revolver and
beat her over the head until he thought
camped. At 10 O'Clock Mr.. Wickline
came home and found his wife living in
the road, still insensible. He picked her
up and carried her into the house and
came to this city for a physician. The
physician worked with her until 7 O'Clock
this morning before he restored her to
consciousness. 1t is feared her injuries
will prove fatal. The farmers in the
neighborhood were aroused. They
searched for the perpetrators, but could
not find them If they should be appre-
hended a lynching bee would be the re.
suit. Excitement and Indignation Is very
great over the affair. This Is the third
outrage of this kind committed IN that
vicinity in the past year. Charlie Webb
was the first to be murdered, aud then
Louie Tournier, a witness for the state IN
the Webb case. was murdered. 1t is
thought that a gang of robbers exist there
from the crimes committed.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

The people of the state are probably
convinced that a proper advertise
ment of our resources at the Worlds
Fair will bring ten fold return for
the expense: in the improvement OF
unoccupied land by immigrants, in
increase of capital, for loans at cheap
er rates, and for permanent invest
ment, and in increased sale of prod
uctS at better prices. If majority
have not come TO that opinion, they
no doubt will after the event. The
men who are awake, alive and enter
prising, the thinking men believe ia
the good effects of thorough display
They are naturally leaders of public
opinion, and necessarily express them
selves in advance of it. while the pub
lie thinks differently or has given the
matter no mature consideration. II
we can double the assessment roll by
moderate expenditure, it will lessen,
not increase taxation. There is an
other class of men who never head
any movement for the advancement
of the state. Their word is. keep
mum: don't let people know about
your business, mining, timber, dairy,
wheat, oats, corn, fax, or manufaC-
lures, for it will cost you ten cents q
piece to do it in good shape They
seek to be leaders. but it is of the
least enterprising, the fearful, timidl,
unbelieying and penurious. They re-
ly rather ON universal avarice than on
enlightened expenditure T0cer Conn

HOW 1T WORKS.

The Republican tariff bill was de-
tries by checking imports from COM.
peting countries. and encourage QUIZ
own trade with those countries whose
products do not compete with ours
Is this new tariff, which has now been
in force less than year, fulfilling ex-
pectations? The government state
.ment of foreign commerce just issued
shows that we sold to other nations
about SS,000.000 worth more of our
products in July, 1891, than in July,
1890, and in the same period we bought
about 81, 100000 less from other
nations.

IF the state building at the Columbian Fair is

cording to Monforts plan it viii be as valuable
to the state as any well wisher of the state de-

state buildings cannot be used as exhibition
halls is certainly not true. The state commits
mission does not so understand it and the rules
do not forbid special state exhibits. 1t Is a

Minneapolis Journal.
The Journal is quite right. One of
the particular reasons urged for the
erection of a state building was that
it would afford display of special ex-
hibits not provided for in the general
classifications. The points involved in
the question of the rights of states to
make special exhibits has been thor
oughly discussed by the Board of con-
troll and by them arranged that such
would be permitted. The rules as
promulgated bythis body preclude the
induction into state buildings of
manufactured articles, articles in
process of manufacture and motive
power" 1t may be put down as abso-
lutely sure that a state which has the
enterprise to put up a building will
back up that enterprise with an at
tractive display of special features
and choice exhibits. Besides, it will
have an opportunity for exhibiting its
building material that would 9th err
wise be absolutely impossible.
