SHOCKING MURDER.
Female EMPLOYMENT Age
Clicked to Death.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. "a shocking
murder was committed today in a prom
inent Office building at The junction"
the most prominent location in the
business district of the city. Mrs. Jane
Wright, better known as Madame
Wright, a well-knOwn employment
agent, was found dead in her Office at S
O'Clock this evening by the janitor of
the building. The body was found OH
the floor face downward. The face
had been cruelty beaten and was
scarcely recognizable through the
cuts and bruises upon it. The
hands and feet were securely
tied with the stout wrapping cord
Deep red imprintS or human fingers in
the throat, the discolored face and pro-
truding tongue and eyes told how the
murder had been done. The murder is
an altogether mysterious one, and there
is no clue to its perpetrators. The mo-
tive evidently was not robbery, unless
the murdererS overlooked the money
that was found on the body. Iu
pocket of the victims dress skirt was
found Sl.4i in silver. A examination
by the coroner showed that the woman
wore besides the usual female garments
pair of mems trousers cut Off at the
knees. La the trousers pocket was
found Sl7l in gold aud an equal amount
IN paper money.
The only possible motive f1r the
crime, the police say, is revenge, and
that suggests the theory that the crime
was committed 10y several Italians
whom Nine Wright swindled some
time ago. She told the Italians that she
had work for them on grading con
tract at station on the Kansas City,
WyandOtte Il Northwestern railway.
She collected from twenty Italians
"a each aud sent them out. The
Italians discovered that there was
nothing at the station" excepting The
Toulouse of a section of the railway.
They were compelled to walk back to
town, and when they arrived here they
reported the case to the police and
threatened vengeance. Mrs. Wright
had been twice married. but both huS-
bands are now dead. She has son,
John Wright, who was taken into Gus
tody on suspicion, but was released.

Peter the Great. The leaders swung
wide enough to let Galilee up next the
rail and Taral took advantage of it, OPP
pOsite the lower end of the stand Gall
lee got up to Senator Grady'S saddle

as DOggett gave tie senator his head

Gov Markham Writes Gresham
That Something Must Be Done.
SACRAMENTO. Cal, Sept. 9.-The fol-
lowing letter was sent by Gov. Mark
ham today to Secretary Gresham:
To the Secretary of State. Washing
ton, ID. CT have caused to be for
warded to your department copies of all
communications to or from this office
pertaining to Chinese difficulties in
this state. Am pleased TO inform
you that open hoStilities have ceased,
and, as far as | can learn, good order is
restored. l deem it. however. my duty
to inform you that an outbreak may
occur at any moment unless assurances
in some form are given by the authori-
ties at Washington that the laws of
the United States regarding Chinese
are carried into effect within
reasonable time. Whatever the author
tiles may think of the wisdom of the
Geary law, the fact that it is the law,
ana the further fact that it has not been
enforced by those in authority, furnishes
an excuse for those laWleSSiy inclined
to break the laws Of our state. and that
with the sanction of many of our citi-
Zens. ! shall do all | ought to protect
these people, but l cannot be
held responsible beyond that point.
Many of our good citizens believe
that q positive message by the pFesi-
dent to congress would result in an i'm
mediate appropriation sufficient to re-
move the only objection thus far made
to the complete enforcement of the law.
Our people have great confidence in the
legal opinions of United States District
Judge Ross, aud it is evident to all that
the gravest complications in the state
must ensue unless steps are at once
taken to harmonic anu settle this inn
portant state, national and international
question.

At this point the Pilgrim took a hand

she came, with her jib even with the
Nigilant's stern, amid an uproar from
the entire fleet. The COlonia came last,
looking very pretty, but doing very
poorly.
Away went the racers on a new leg 10
the southwark like flock of big butter
flies followed by the motley crowd of
passenger boats. Throughout the sec
ond league The Nigilant steadily in
creased her lead, while jubilee took
second place.
Turning the second time mark about
quarter of mile separated each from
the other. First came Vigilant,
then Jubilee, Pilgrim and Colonia in the
order named.
The run home was long. monotonous
ami very nearly MINDLESS procession.
The Vigilant cast her Splnnaker one
minute after rounding, the Jubilee's
spinnaker fell in the water but was
soon picked up. The Figiiant threw
out her balloon jib. All tour then cast
spinnakers aud started on the home
stretch. The steam craft slackened
speed to keep abreast of them. 1t ap-
peared 10 everybody that the Vigilant
was the winner, and that the Colonia was
not in the race. The Colonia tried to
pass the Pilgrim, but failed. The Wig
liant never relaxed her lead a yard.
There was a great deal of noise at the
finish. All the steam craft blew whis-
ties. and everybody who had a gun fired
it. 1t took over twelve minutes for the
steamers to cross the final line.

The Philadelphia Ledger wants
Philadelphia to own and operate its
own electric light plant. This
shows that the Ledger, if some one
does not frighten it by calling names,
has at least occasional glimmeringa of
common sense on economic questions.
If some one had been indiscreet
enough to hint that municipal owner
ship of electriclight plants would be
a socialistic innovation, our truly
good contemporary would have pos
sibly been frightened into denouncing
the innovation.
