He Then Beats the Mother with the
Child's Body.
She was barefooted and attired only in
her night dress, and was made to carry the
child the entire distance. On arriving at
the lonely spot the man knocked her down
and assaulted her. He then tried to muir
der both the mother and child and left them
at the strawstack believing them to be
dead. Mrs. Frost says that as soon as the
man released her he seized the child which
was sitting on the straw near them and
kicked it upon the head. He then turned
and also kicked her heavy blow. She in
stantly feigned Inconsistencies, but did
not faint, although her assailant seized the
child and beat her about the head and
body with it.
Thought They Were Both Dead.
Finally he became satisfied that they
were both dead, and the woman heard him
say with an oath: There, guess you Will
never tell anybody about this" Mrs. Frost
remained quiet until satisfied that he had
gone, when she turned her attention to her
little girl. who was unconscious. She was
a mile from home with her baby, which
she believed to be dying; her bare feet were
badly cut by walking on the track out
there and she was suffering intensely.
Description of the Fiend.
She managed, however, to carry her
child back to the residence of Mr.. Bergers,
east of the paper mill, reaching there at
] O'Clock. Mrs. Frost was able to furnish
an accurate description of her assailant.
She said he was very dark with thick lips
and could not speak English plainly. She
did not think he was a negro, but he
might have been, only his language was
more like that of an Italian or Mexican He
was dressed in soft cotton shirt with
light colored trousers and a small white
hat. He wore no coat or vest.

of his numerous wives to be guilty of inf
deity, he caused them to be cruelty put to
death. In answer to the demand of the
British Indian government that the khan
should liberate hissurviving prisoners and
should give an explanation of his course
the khan has agreed to deliver up the pris-
oners to the British agent.
Fined Him Forty Thousand Rupees.
The cruelties of which the kahn had been
guilty appearing indefensible the British
agent has imposed upon the khan a fine
of 10000 rupees, the money to be devoted
to the benefit of the families of those who
have been unjustly executed. This will
mean a reduction of the annual subsidy
paid to the khan by the British govern
ment from ZOO rupees to 10000 rupees
for the current year.

The Miscreant Attacks the House.
Wednesday about II O'Clock Mrs. Frost
heard knock at the front door. She was
in bed and did not respond. The visitor,
however, continued to pound on the door
and finally tried to open it with key.
Failing in this he tried the window and
then the back door. After a short time he
came to the window of the bedroom and
said that he knew Mrs. Frost was in there
and that he intended to get in. He was
going away for few moments, he said,
but he would soon be back. The fright
ened woman. made no response, and the
man ceased his knocking for a few mo-
ments, but did not so away, for in short
time the child who was in bed with Mrs.
Frost coughed and the man Immediately
came to the window and began trying to
raise it.
The Victim Tries to Escape.
Mrs. Frost, realizing that he intended to
effect an entrance, tried to brighten him
away by telling him that her husband was
there. He began beating the back door
again and the woman quietly opened the
front door and slipped out with her child,
hoping to escape. In her fright, however,
she ran against tree. The noise attracted
the mans attention and before she had
proceeded far he caught her and pointing q
revolver at her threatened to shoot her if
she did not accompany him. He compelled
her to walk mile out the Union Pacific
railway to a strawstack in a field.

HIcKs-BEAcH MOVES REJECTION.
He Holds That One Party to the Union Il
Being Ignored.


Being Ignored.
The rejection of the home rule bill was
moved by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. He
taunted Gladstone with having made a
long excursion into Irish history when he
was expected to answer the multitudinous
criticisms of the bill. Since the character of
the measure had become known the most
intense antagonism had developed against
it. In q large part of Ireland the people
were irreconciliably opposed to all details
as well as to the principle of the bill. The
north Of Ireland rang with protests against
the prime minister's agitation, and he would
not even pause in his retrospect to answer
the arguments of the men behind it. The
prime minister had said that the home rule
bill bad been before the country seven
years.
One Party to the Bargain Ignored.
This WAS not true. Before the bill was
introduced last February only the vaguest
Statements a. to its proposals had been
made. The assertion was made frequent
~ that Ireland demanded home rule; that
her electors had accepted home rule. This
was only partly true. The majority of
Irish electors had demanded and accepted
It, but large and determined minority
had decided to have none Of it. Neverthe-
less. admitting q unanimous sentiment in
Ireland for home rule. the proposal for the
dissolution of the union was rejected by
the other party to the bargain.
Great Britain Against Home Rule.
The majority of the electors of Great
Britain were convinced that parlia-
ment once persuaded to take the fatal
step now proposed could never retrace it
without plunging the country into the
horrors of q civil war. [Cheers.l Sey-

ALetter From Lady somerset.

Lady Henry Somerset, who reached
this country too late to attend the
worlds congress of representative
women at Chicago, wrote in answer
to an inquiry as to what she hoped
from the congress:
The outcome of the woman's in
ternational congress will be in part
such q fraternity of good women as
the world has never seen. 1t has
been believed in the past that the
separation among the dependent sex
would be perpetual, but as an un-
natural and enforced dependence
caused it, a wise and thoughtful in
dependence, combined with the sys-
te:natic organization of women for
purposes of the highest and best,
viii be its cure. In the world of
philanthropy and reform the com
bined' energies of the leaders among
women can affect such marvels of
amelioration as far outrun the power
OF Imagination or of prophecy. A
guild of women In each locality,
based upon the golden rule and in
touch by means of worldwide or
ganizition, viii become the rallying
point of those uplifting forces that
yet shall purify. protect and bless
the homes of every nation and urge
forward that universal brotherhood
Tor which all true hearts long.
