CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-George Painter must
hang for the murder of Alice Martin. other
wise known as Alice Painter. his common
law wife. The jury was ont all night, and
the reading of the death verdict In the
cold foggy atmosphere Of Judge Clifford's
Court. Sunday, was in keeping with the re-
pellant character of the case throughout.
Painter. who. up to this time. had ap-
peared perfectly cool. turned pale and
tremor shook his frame. The crime of
which Painter is convicted occurred May
III. last. The woman was street char
acter and the story told by tho prisoner
vas that he went home late on the night of
the murder and found her dead on the
floor of the bedroom. where she had evil
IDENTIFY been beaten to death with q club.
Painter maintained throughout the trial
that the deed must have been committed
by some one of the woman's numerous
callers. and showed that she had saved his
life by nursing him through q contagious
fever. The chief evidence against him was
an overcoat stained with blood.

Syecial 10 the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Fed. There were references
made in oil the churches to-day to the late
DR.. Spurgeon. The Bishop of Bedforn. at
st. PauPs Cathedral. this morning, and
Archdeacons sSinclair, In the same place this
afternoon, delivered eloquent tributes to
the great Gissenter. The proposition of
many dissenting churches to send wreaths
of flowers to be placed upon Spurgeon's
coffin while the body lies in the tabernacle
has been discouraged by some of the
friends of the late preacher. who recall the
fact that SpurgeOn did not look iavOrably
upon this custom. The directors suggest
that the money which would be required
for the floral tributes be donated to the
orphanage-an institution very dear
to DR.. Spurgeon-and it is understood that
this course will be taken in most cases.
Spurgeon's father. who is eighty-two
years old. wishes very much to attend the
funeral. but his relatives are urging him
not to do so, fearing the effect of the bad
weather and excitement upon his health.

morrow morning, when 1t will be at once

A CORRESPONDENT of the ST. Louis
Chronicle thus describes the Kansas
girl: 1.-The Kansas girl is built to moth
er a race of earth quellers. She is
wide WASTED and deep breasted. She
has laugh bigger than box car, and
the drummer has not yet been found on
the road who can stare her out of coun-
tenance. She IS the most beautiful pro-
duct of the Sunfower state, and there
is no doubt of her knowledge on this
point. She is too frank for filtration,
aud the conventions which require an
Introduction and prohibit questions in
conversation fall away before her eyes
abashed. She has very nice idea of
what is proper, but if you are a man
you need not think that she will be
afraid to talk to you. IF you are ignorant
of such matters rs she has known all
her life, she will laugh at your igno-
rance and show too plainley a contempt
for your knowledge of eastern life. She
is an open air girl as free as the con-
tinuous and wide sweeping breeZes tha:
blow over the prairies. She is a great
reader and can talk politics till your
hair Is gray, aud she is always Tabid

deaths. Be as smart as you can of
course, know as much as you can with
out blowing the packing out of your
cylinder-heads; shed the light of your
wisdom abroad in the world, but don t
dazzle people with it. Don't imagine
thing is 80 simple because you say it
is. Don't be too sorry for your father
because he knows 80 much less than
you do. The world has great need of
young men. but no greater need than
the young men have ofit. Your clothes
fit you better than your fathers fit him;
they cost more money, they are more
stylish, your mustache is neater, the
cut of your hair is better, and you are
prettier, far prettier, than ''pa," but
young man, the old gentleman gets the
biggest salary, and his homely scrawl-
ing signature on the business end of a
check will drain more money out Of a
bank in five minutes, than you could
get out with ream of paper and a
coprerplate signature in six months.
Young men are useful, and they are
ornamental and we love them, and we
couldn't engineer picnic successfully
without them, but they are no novelties,
son, eh, no, nothing of the kind. They
have been here before. Don't be so
modest so as to shut yourself clear out;
but don't be so fresh you will have to
be put away in the cool TO keep from
spelling. Don't be afraid that Your
merit will not be discovered. People
all over the world are hunting for you
and il you are worth finding, they will
find you. A diamond isn't so easily
found as quartz pebble, but people
search for it all the more intently.

AS THE days go merily on the Kansas
G. o. p. begins to realize the venality Of
its actions in stealing a seat in the
lower house of the legislature, and also
presidential elector and state senator.
The action of the state canvassing
board is being most seriously criticised
by all liberal minded people, and many
men of honesty and foresight, who have
been staying with the republican party
"just one more year" in the hope that
it WOULD prove trustworthy, have had
the scales knocked from their eyes BY
that latest exhibition of impure politics,
and will wash their hands of republi-
canism from now on. United States
District Judge, Hon. C. G. Foster. has
written letter to Gov. Humphrey,
which has been made public. The let
ter is short, but to the point, as follows:
/ GOVERNOR HUMPHREY-I have been
standing up for Kansas to the best of
my ability. but when it comes to steal
ing members of the legislature s. nd pres
ldential electors from political oppon-
ent you must excuse me If / st down.
Yours Sincerely,
G. g. FdsTER."

Hicks, on December Weather.

About the 18th the severe cold may
modify, beginning in the far west day
or so earlier, and causing in its east
ward advance falls of rain and snow.
a very marked fall of temperature will
occur between these reactionary move
ments and the coming of the next
storm period.
As we approach the 19tL, unmistak-
able indications of active winter storms
will appear. A low and falling baro-
meter will be announced in the west.
Warmer and easterly to sOutherly
winds will begin to blow. The cold
hard skies will begin to grow softer,
with streaks of high, white, cirrus
clouds pointing east and west. From
the 10th to 23rd, inclusive, the storms
will breakfast in the west-later in
the central parts, and later still in the
extreme east. Rain, with bursts OF
| lightning and thunder, especially to the
south will most likely occur, as results
of the Venus equinox. which will be al
its center on the 2Sth. Heavy SHOWS
turning to billiards. will sweep over the
country to the northward, and general
and intense cold wave will wind up the
disturbances, insuring very cold
| weather about Christmas for most parts
| of North America. The 9th and 2Stt
are central days of reactionaTy change
upon and about which sudden and ex.
treme changes will be natural, as Venus
will be at the center of her disturbance
on the 2Sth, her marked characteristic
being close and extreme contacts and
exchanges CT heat and cold-hel
electric fire turning quick to ice,'' and
ice to electric fire. December will go
out in the midst of general cold
Boreas will have gotten his final griL
on our north end, and We will have
bowed to bis frost scepter.
