following: Frank II. Van Deusen, as
sistant teller at the Troy Savings bank,
and Miss Jessie May Miller were married
at 7.30 o'clock last evening, at the First

flowers and ported plants and presented
an attractive appearance. The bride was
attired in white corded Bengaline,
trimmed with duchess lace, and wore a
bridal veil, with orange blossoms. Miss
Ida Miller of Cohoes, cousin of the
bride, acted as bridesmaid and Miss Nan
Miller, sister of the bride, was the maid
of honor. +. II. Quimby of this city was

Compartment Sleeping Cars

y
Our readers are familiar with the
regular or standard" sleeping cars
which the Pullman Company runs on
most OF the railroads. and know how
luXuriously they are furnished. There
IS nothing so good but people wish for
something better, and objections have
been made to the sleeperS that privacy
was lacking, that the lavatory accom-
modations were insufficient, and that
two or three persons (of the gentler
| seX) woald take possession of the
dressing room in the morning, to the
delay and annoyance of other lady
passengers. The new compartment
sleepers on the trains of the Burlington
Route from Minneapolis and st. Paul
to Chicago remove these objections.
Instead OF the central aisle, with open
berths on each side, the car is divided
into ten cosy state rooms, with doors
opening into corridor on the side of
the car. For half its length this COR
rldor is on the left side, then crosses to
the rlght-hve compartments being thus
situated on each side. Each compart-
ment contains an upper and lower berth
arranged in the usual way, but the at
traction is that it constitutes a room in
itself. A handsome gas fixture depends
from the ceiling, diffusing a soft light
into every nook of the compartment.
In one corner you notice q handsome
mirror, and beneath is what looks like
rosewood box set on end. In the
centre of this box is 4 convenient nickel
plate d handle. Take hold and pull
you have before you a complete toilet
outfit, bowl, faucets for hot and cold
water, etc., and turning the box up
again empties the bowl OF its contents.
This IS one of the many comforts and
conveniences that meet You at every
point. As we said before, each com
partment has door which opens into
the corridor, but they have also doors
connecting them with each other, so
that two or more can be made into
suite of rooms, for family or other
large party travelling in company. The
furnishings and fittings of these cars
are rs tasty and exquisite as money
and the most skilled workmanship can
make them and the colors of the plush
and papers used in decorating each
compartment different. For ladies
without escort, or travelling in charge
OF children, nothing more retired and
comfortable can be imagined, and on
the Burlington Route trains two COM
partments are always reserved for ladies
exclusively. Next time you 90 to
Chicago, buy your ticket via the Burl-
ingtOn, and see what these cars are like.

A ROCK COUNTY HORROR
CITIZENS AFTER A MURDERER. WILL
BIZ LYNCHED WHEN CAUGHT.

The State journal has the following
account Of terrible crime committed
last Friday
EVANSVILLE, April 15,-The officers
in chase Of Mathew Betson. who muir.
dered and crtmated his wife aud Mrs.
Hern yesterday, have clue. The flu
gitiVe was seen late yesterday afternoon
about three miles east of Emerald Grove.
The officers today have gone to the
Jefferson ard Whitewater region, be-
lieving that Betson will try and escape
through the Danish settlement. Up TO
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon no reports
from them have been received here.
Three hundred or more determined
men were out nearly all night securing
the Emerald Grove woods with shot
guns and ropes under their buggy seats
in search of the murderer. The murder
was the most shocking ever committed
in this part of the state and has aroused
the whole neighborhood. Betson is a
tenant on the farm OF Arthur Hern. in
La Prairie, about eight miles from this
city. He quarreled with his wife, who
sent for Mrs. Hern to come TO her as
sistance and make peace between him
and his wife, which she had success
fully done on several occasions. Mrs.
Hern FASTENED to Betson's home, fcr.y
rods away, taking little girl with her
As Mrs. Hern stepped into Betson's
door he exclaimed: II will kill you
both " This frightened the little girl
and she ran away to the field to inform
MIR. Hern. A moment later she heard
a shot from a gun, and looking around
saw the house on fire. Betson had
carried his threat into execution. both
women being shot dead. Besides MUIR
dering the women he had set fire to the
house.
Mr. Hern soon reached the scene. but
the fire was too hot and he could do
nothing. The house was totally de-
stroyed and the bodies of the murdered
women were burned to crisp. Betson
Immediately escaped TO the woods The
sheriff with large force went to the
scene of the murder, endeavor;ng 10
preserve order and capture the crimi-
nal Betson had been married only
about one year. Frequent quarrels are
reported between him and his wife,
and Mrs. Hern had frequently been
called to make peace in the family, she
having been quite successful in her
previous efforts. Mrs Hern was some
50 years old, born and raised on the
farm where the crime was committed.
Later Betson was caught near
Clinton, Wis. and narrowly escaped
lynching He shot himself in the head
but will recover. He is lodged in the
county jail at Baraboo.

The State as a Saloon Keeper

The state of South Carolina will enter
upon q novel experiment, July 1 It IS
nothing less than that Of taking charge
Of the entire saloon business through
out the state The Legislature has
passed q law By tie terms Of which
state dispensaries will take the place OF
the common saloon and the profits viii
be turned into the state treasury. This
is novel attempt 81 a solution OF the
saloon question and there may well be
grave doubts as to its success. Il may
result in better apparent control Of
the business, but it will in time very
likely lead to a great deal of Illicit sell
ing and manufacturing of liquor Tn
less the state authorizes are unusually
alert ard severe in the prosecution of
cases, there will be great droves of
blind pigs and other dodges TO evade
the law. The experiment will be on
interesting one TO watch for it is Ger.
tainly great innovation for state to
assume control of the liquor business
within ITS borders for its own benefit
The only motive that can command
any respect for such an attempt on the
part OF a state, is a better control of the
traffic. II it fails in this 1t fails COM
pletelY There can be absolutely moth
ing 10 commend it,
The idea Of state government turn
ing saloon keeper for the money which
it may make from the business is
repuguant to every moral sense as well
as to every idea Of the duties Of state
hood, The action must inevitably and
.qcichly give dignity 10 the saloon or
degrade the state. 1t seems a very
improper exercise Of state power if
money alone is the object. Let the
results be what they may the eyes of
sister states will eagerly watch for the
outcome.

A FaYorite Flower.

The sweet pea is fayorite with
every one and there is NO reason why
every one should not have an abun-
dance of the fragrant blossoms. The
seeds are very cheap when bought in
bulk and space two feet square will
give an astonishingly large number Of
blossoms FROM June until the last of
October if properly cared for. Sweet
peas can be planted as early as the
ground can be spaded, and they should
be put thickly in rows foot apart and
covered three or four and if the ground
is warm, five inches deep. They should
be hilled up when hoed, and strings or
brush fixed for them to Ell mo on. The
only care they demand is that the
weeds be kept out, The ground well
watered and tbs blossoms constantly
picked. Ii allowed to go to seed they
will stop blooming. Deep planting
tends to keep the roots form drying up
by sun and wind and prevents the vines
from becoming an unsightly mass of
dried up vegetation in July and August.
Rich ground is advisable. If YOU desire
to save your own seed it is q good plan
to tie various eolored strings near the
blossoms that please you best, and seed
should not be allowed to form until the
season is we'll advanced. The pods
should be picked just as soon as they
turn yellow. Do not wait for them &c
dry. Good ground, plenty of water,
early deep planting, good support, and
no weeds, mean blossoms in abundance
for nearly half year. Try sweet peas
