Miss Julia Force, sister of the lead
ing shoe merchant of Atlanta, Ca, shot
and killed her two sisters. The shoot
ing was the result of family quarrel.
They all moved in the highest social
circles. The woman says that she has
been writing for year on statement
of the family troubles and has just com
pleted it. AS the proper time TO do the
deed she chose day when her mother
was absent from the house, she sent
the servants out on errands, and then,
going to the room where her sister
Florence was sick in bed, she placed
pistol to her right temple and shot her
dead. Then going to the kitchen,
where her other sister was, she shot
her in the same manner. Miss Force
calmly locked the door and went to the
police station. The bodies of the wo-
men were found by brother, to whom
she had sent message to the effect
that her sister Florence was worse. In

'HE AVENGED HIS HONOR /

OF HIS HAPPINESS.
A CoId-BIooded Murder the Result of n
Woman's Perfidy-A Real Life Drama
More Thrilling Than Fiction.

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Reynolds moved
from Allegan to Great Falls, Mont,
and were living a happy life. Bert
Moore, also of Allegan, went west to
better his fortune. 1t was perfectly
natural that the three should seek
each others companionship and Moore
therefore boarded with his Michigan
friends. Three months ago Moore said
he was going TO return to Michigan on
visit. Mrs. Reynolds soon after de-
cided to visit her parents at Allegan
and her husband at once made all ar
rangements. 1t was not long before
he became suspicious of something
wrong and followed Reynolds
learned that Moore and Mrs. Reynolds
had stopped in certain places along the
route and at the hotels registered as
man and wife.
He reached Allegan January IS and
that evening masquerade was given
by the firemen. Reynolds, without
making himself known to anyone, at
tended the ball en- masque and soon
discovered his wife with Moore He
restrained his anger and left the hall,
but soon after confronted his wife.
She confessed her wrongs and Reynolds
wife's promise TO return TO him Rey-
nolds dropped the case. They
went to her fathers farm and
all was again tranquil until
one day Mrs. Reynolds drove into
town with her father. She again met
Moore and he took her home in his cut
ter. Reynolds and his wife quarreled
over this and she then told him she
would never live with him and that
she would live with Moore.
The wronged husband at once resolved
to be avenged and at once started
for Allegan. He saw Moore enter a
saloon and followed him. Moore seated
himself at table and Reynolds took a
chair few feet away and silently
watched his victim, who was talking
to a friend. A half hour passed, when
suddenly Reynolds pulled a 3s-calibre
revolver and, placing it TO Moore's ear,
pulled the trigger. Moore fell into the
lap of his friend who threw time to the
floor. Reynolds fired two shots more
into the PROSTATE body and fled.
Reynolds started toward the Jail.
A crowd was soon after him and he
ran for his life into the sheriff S
residence and hurriedly told his story
10 the sheriff's wife-the only person
in the house. She at once saw his dan
ger and locked him up just as the
crowd reached tht door.
Moore was instantly killed.

Kansas Supreme Court Declares the Re-
publican House to be Legal.
The supreme court of Kansas, Chief
Judge Horton rendering the decision,
Justice Allen (Populist) dissenting,
sustained the Douglass or Republican
House as the legal and constitutional
House of Representatives of the Kan
sas legislature and incidentally de-
clared that the Populists had no stand
ing. The opinion of the chief justice
was given orally and occupied an hour
and forty minutes to deliver. His con-
illusions were of the most emphatic
character. The decision of the court
puts an end to a condition of affairs
more unique and exciting than any
thing which has thrilled Kansas since
the border wars.
The rival Houses which have been
struggling for the mastery, sometimes
by parliamentary means, sometimes
by force, and at last through the ju-
dietary, have now united in one body
and will transact much needed bust
ness. The act of the Populist House
having been declared to be illegal, all
the appropriation bills. will have to be
passed over again. The Republican
House has passed many bills and they
viii be sent to the Senate at the first
opportunity. The present session of
the legislature expired by limitation
March 3, and it will be necessary to
hold an extra session in order to trans
act the necessary business.

MICHIGAN CLUB BANQUET.
Speeches by Prominent Men and SPLEEN
did Spread Made all Happy.

The annual banquet given by the
Michigan club at Detroit is an event TO
remember and the eighth gathering of
this kind on Washington's birthday
was ahead of any of any of the pre-
vious efforts. At least 1000 guests
were seated at the tables in the large
Auditorium at this spread. On an ele-
waited stage were seated the speakers
and honored guests, among them SEN
ators Higgins and Stockbridge, Gen.
II. A. Alger, Gov. Rich, Hon, Stephen
A. Douglas, James II. Burke, Hon. X.
G. Horn and Gen. Gibson. Consider
able disappointment was felt at the
absence of Secretary of the Treasury
Foster-detained by official duties--and
Secretary of Agriculture Rusk-de-
tanned by sickness in his family.
Nevertheless the disappointment was
soon forgotten when Senator Higgins
began strong address on the anneXa-
ton of Canada. Hon. X. G.. Horr fol-
lowed. After music James Francis
Burke, president of the National
League of College clubs, spoke of "The
Dangers and Duties Before U.s." S. A.
Douglas, son of the famous Democratic
orator, made the speech of the evening.
His toast was "Stand by Your Guns"
He said he is and always was Repub-
lican. A Republican today was far
different from the Republican of Ere
mont's day-made so by the events of
1s6O-'65. He despised the Republican
who could be severed an iota from the
party principles because of the sneers
and carpings of his opponents. He APP
plauded Judge Gresham for his manly
change of party affiliations because it
was honest and open. He admired
Grover Cleveland for standing by his
guns" in the face of defeat TO carry
his party through to victory with a
battle cry which was his firm belief of
what was right.
Gen. w. ii. Gibson, of Ohio, re-
sponded to the toast of "Our Country"

guished Guests" The audience joined
in singing "Auld Lang Syne" and dis

senator Rurt,s Rich Find.

Senator Wellington X. Burt, of Sagi-
nav, has struck it rich again. He pur-
chased some time ago a 40-acre tract of
land near Duluth. 1t has been discov-
cred that the land has for its founda-
ton mass of iron ore. The ore,
which lies only Is feet beneath the sur
face, covered with light earth, ranges
high to Bessemer and low to phos-
phorus. There is an immense deposit
and holes put down all over the 40-acre
tract show 10000, 900 tons in sight and
easily accessible. Owing to its soft
ness the ore can be mined with steam
shovels. Mr.. Burt has leased the land
and will receive a royalty of 30 cents a
ton. 1t is likely to net him $500, 900 a
year.
