SHOT WIFE AND SELF,

Double Tragedy at Leavenworth, Kan
Children Left Homeless.
LEAvENwORTH. Kan, June 19.-Am-
brose S. Arnold, head bookkeeper for
Denton, Bros, grain commission mer-
chants, on Sunday shot and mortally
wounded his wife and then blew his
brains out. The family had just
finished their Sunday dinner when
Mr.. Arnold, in an excited manner,
demanded that his wife accompany
him to his room upstairs as he wished
to talk with her. Mrs. Arnold took
alarm at her husbands actions, but
finally consented to 90 to his room. Ar
rived there, Arnold accused her of in
fidelity. Mrs Arnold Indignantly as
serted her innocence, but her
husband, drawing revolver, threat
ened to shoot her. She coolly
folded her arms and dared him to carry
out his threat. Leveling the weapon,
Arnold fred two shots into his wife's
body and then blew his brains out with
the same weapon. Mrs. Arnold is NOR
tally wounded and made an ante-mor-
tenn statement of the facts of
the tragedy. She has always
been highly regarded in the COM
munity and no one believes her hus-
band had grounds for belief that she
was unfaithful to him. Two girls,
aged S years, twins, will be left alone
in the world as result of the tragedy.

THE ANNUAL PICNIC.

The annual picnic of the Old Set
tiers Association of Redwood county
was held at Bissell's grove,three miles
west of the city last Wednesday. The
attendance in the forenoon was not
very large, and no program wastcar-
ried out. John Stewart made a few
brief remarks speaking of the vast i'm
provement in the country since his
baby days. The baskets were spread,
and eating and conversation was in
dulged in until about three o'clock in
the afternoon, when time was called
on ball game between the Redwood
Juniors and the Sheridan club. Both
sides contested brilliantly for the
points the first inning, but the Sheri-
dan club then lost their grip and the
young men from Redwood trounced
them to the tune of seven scores in
the second. In the fourth they sent
four more men across the plates and
again in the sixth they placed six more
scores on their side of the book. The
Sheridan boys went out in one, two,
three order up to the fourth inning,
when they got single score; in the
fifth by virtue of man being hit by
pitched ball, an only error Of Rol-
Inns, and a base on balls they sent
three men across the plate. In the
seventh by five singles, and an error of
Jones the last three scores were made.

daughter, who was with them, had
fallen asleep, attempted to awaken
her, only to find that she had quietly
passed away.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Charles Ueker's Sudden Departure
For the Undiscovered Country.

Charles Ueker, the twenty-three
year old son of Anton Ueker, residing
with his parents in Three Lakes town.
ship, on the town line of New Avon,
was struck by lightning and almost
instantly killed, about 1890 o'clock
last Thursday afternoon.
Ueker was sitting in rocking chair
about q foot from the stove in the
kitchen, and was playing the violin,
when the fatal bolt came down upon
him, and shufled him off this mortal
coil. The lightning first struck the
chimney of the residence, from whence
it descended down the stove-pipe,
and then passed over the top of the
stove, and from this it crossed over to
Ueker, passing downward through
the hoor. ASS soon as the lightning
struck the man, he fell back and ex-
claimed "Oh, mamma" and immedi-
ately passed away.
Gussie Ueker, holding her two-year
Old sister, was sitting in chair on the
other side OF the stove at the time of
the fatality. The shock was so great
as to knock the child out of her arms,
and also force Gussie to the floor.
Both OF them recovered almost in
stantly, however, and became aware
of the brothers fate.
The funeral occurred from the
Lutheran church in the village of
Morgan last Friday, and the remains
were inferred in the German Lutheran
cemetery in Eden township Brown
county, the same day. No inquest
was held, nor was the coroner mott
lied, the evidence being very concld-
sive as to the cause of death.

D. at home, yawning, lounging and
dawdling as usual, and pretending to be
in the last extremity Of ennui. He Is
perhaps the most really energetic hu-
man being now alive-but that is only
when nobody sees him.
ITO be even with him complained OF
my weak eyes and lamented the neces-
sity Of the spectacles, under cover Of
which cautiously and thoroughly sur
veyed the whole apartment while SEEM
ingly intent only upon the conversation
of my host.
81 paid especial attention to q large
writing table near which he sat, and
upon which lay confusedly some miscel-
laneous letters and other papers, with
6ne or two musical instruments and q
few books. Here, however, after long
and very deliberate scrutiny, l saw moth
ing to excite particular suspicion.
cat length my eyes, in going the cir
cult Of the room, fell upon trumpery
fligree cardrack Of, pasteboard that
hung dangling by dirty blue ribbon
from little brass knob just beneath
the middle of the mantelpiece. In this
rack, which had three or four compart-
ments, were five or six visiting cards
and solitary letter. This last was
much soiled and crumpled. It was torn
nearly in two across the middle, as if q
design in the first instance to tear it en-
tirely up as worthless had been altered
or staid in the second. It had q large
black seal, bearing the D. cipher
very conspicuously and was addressed,
in diminutive female hand, to D.,
the minister, himself. It was thrust
carelessly, and even, as it seemed, con-
temptuously, into one Of the uppermost
divisions Of the rack.
mo sooner had l glanced at this letter
than concluded it to be that Of which l
was in search. To be sure, it was, to all
appearance, radically different from the
one Of which the prefect had read us so
minutes description. Here the seal was
large and black, with the D. cipher;
there it was small and red, with the du-
cal arms of the s. family. Here the
address to the minister was diminutive
and feminine; there the superscription
to a certain royal parsonage was mark
edly bold and decided. The size alone
formed point of correspondence. But,
then. the radicalness of these differences,
which was excessive; the dirt; the soiled
and torn condition of the paper, so in
consistent with the true methodical hab-
its of D., and so suggestive of a de-
sign to delude the beholder into an idea
of the worthlessness of the document
these things, together with the hyper
obtrusive situation of this document, full
in the view Of every visitor and thus ex-
actly in accordance with the conclusions
to which had previously arrived-these
things, say, were strongly corroborative
Of suspicion in one who came with the
intention to suspect.
Concluded next week.

On last Tuesday night Will Carter,
a young n-gcO man about twenty
three or four years old called 1T the
house OF Lizzie Moore mulatt0 girl
and asked her to take a walk. She
assented and they bent their steps in
the direction of the Fair Grounds,
along the Pulaski pike. When they
neared the Fair Grounds they Were
passed by three other negro men
These were jeff Walker, Win PurCer,
both OF whom worked for Alex Me-
Kay as swipers and negro named
Matthews from the country. AS they
passed jeff Walker seemed to recOg-
nizo the girl aud turning, came back
10 her aud asked with an oath who it
was with her. AT the same time he
cursed her and picked up some stones
as il to strike her, telling her to go
back home. Career then stepped III
front OF the girl and told Walker that
If he wanted to fight anybody, to
tgut n man, and not woman. He
replied, God damn you | will, [ will
shoot the damned heart out Of you y
They both drew pistols and fired
Walker little in advance OF Carter.
Walkers shot struck Garter in the
ankle and passed down into the heel,
where DR.. Padgett, who dressed the
wound WAS unable to locate it with
certainty. Carers shot, which was
Al callbre, passed through Walkers
heart and both lungs and he fell tol-
ward, dead.
After the shooting Carter and the
girl walked 10 the house of DR.. Harri-
son, and theu to Carter's home, and
the girl aud Carter's brOther-in-law
came down town for DR.. Padgett.
Parties who heard the shooting
gave the alarm and as quickly as
possible, Coroner Guest summoned a
jury composed Of Chief of police
Friel, J. l.. DaimwOOd, Henry PeytOn,
L. b. AdcOck, Ed Green, JOSH Guest
and Frank Owen. The jury elirited
part OF the facts and then ad iOurned
until 3 p. III Wednesday, wien the

upon or nsar his body when reached
by the police, aud it Is the belief OF
some that he had no weapon, and
that Carter in the excitement Of the
moment shot himself. DR.. Padgett
however testified that the wound in
Carriers leg was made by smaller
ball than that of his own pistol, and
parties who heard the shooting say
that there were Two shots quite near
together aud that The first was a
sharper and lighter report than the
last. Two shots had been fired from
Carriers pistol, hut the empty cham
6ers were not adjoining each other,
which seemed to show that they
could hardly have been fired in quick
succession. Until the ball is taken
out of Carter's heel, it can not be
known with certainty whether il
esme from his own pistol or not.

DOINGS IN THE COUNTY COURT.
Turnpike Matters Settled.

There was pretty full attendance at
the adjourned session OF the County
Court last Monday. The committee
previously appointed on the Rainey
Turnpike matter brought forward y
report favorable to the proposition Of
Mr.. H. i. Arnold, to pay Mr.. RaiDey
$500 for the right of way over fifteen
miles OF his road bed provided that
the two bridges below Mt. Pleasant

could open the gates on the first ten
miles OF the rOsd-bed when it should
be put up to charter. The Judge OF
the Court will appoint somebody to
receive the mOn-y TO be paid by Mr..
Arnold to Mr.. Rsiney, and il Mr..
Arnold fails at any time to pay the
pike reverts back 20 the County
Court. Mr.. Rainey will not be con-
nected with the road either directly
or indirectly.
A petition from J. NJ. Msyes and
other parties was presented which
asked right OF way over the Pulaski
roaq-bed in order to obtain charter
for turnpike company, to be called

IT is paradox, explainable only
by the red-tape and martinez policy
of the Internal Revenue Service,
that the "Keeley cure" establish
ments are ordered to take out retail
liquor dealers licenses. AS the sole
purpose Of these substitutes" is to
cure people of the habit of drinking,
it seems to be wonderful thing
that they should be taxed in the
same way as the saloons whose pur-
pose is to induce people to drink.
1t is true that liquors are given to the
patients as medicine, just as it is in
hospitals, but in no other way, and
it does not seem that because "they
charge enough for the treatment of
patients to cover the cost of the Ii
quors used" as stated by the COM
missioner, that they are any more
liable to the charge Of retailing than
any other hospital or in6rmary
would be.

In obedience to the orders OF the
! Board of Mayor and Alderman, the
COlumbis improvement Company

Company wanted the city to make
this change vt It's own expense, but
failing to have it done, will foot the

the Improvement Company for the
city to bear this expense was the fac
that the city had given its consent to
Locate the end of the receiving pipe
below Helms Branch, upon tne
petition OF the company. The change
was made because OF the difficulty
experienced in pumping the water
the longer distance. This, however,
ls claimed by some to nave been due
to defects in the pipe used.
Whether ii be true or not, no CITY

the health Of the people could proper.

Company msy very properly contend
for its rights, but it cannot afford, IN
order to save a few hundred dollars,
subject the people to danger OF fatal
diseases, and no stakeholder in the
company would, on his personal ac-
count, be willing to do 20. If the
Improvement Company has rights in
