Terrible Murder Committed by School
Principal.


PERRY, Ok, Oct. IA terrible
murder occurred at Kildare, some
miles above here yesterday morning
about o'clock. Professor E. T.
Hand, principal of Kildare city
schools, and George f. Rohr, mayor
of Arkansas City, are claimants for
the same quarter-section OF land
lying in the Perry land district near
Kildare. About o'clock Rohr went
to the claim to start several men
blowing, and there he met Hand. who
forbade him TO pillow furrow. This
Rohr did not obey, and entered the
field, and when he got clearly
inside Professor Hand shot him
four times through the body with
a Winchester. Professor Hand, in
company with his son, left at once for
Newkirk to give himself up, and they
had not proceeded far before Hand
became perfectly crazy and began
shouting at the top of his voice all
the way to Newkirk. There he
alarmed the whole town with his
screams He was placed in jail. Both
men are very prominent
Rohr was about 50 years of age and
for number of years manager of the
Elzina Lumber company in Arkansas
City. Hand was at one time principal
of the schools at FL Dorado, Kan.
and was a candidate before the Popu-
list convention in this county for

MISS WILLARD ON SUFFRAGE
a Ringing address by the Noted TEN
PeFanee Worker.

peFance Worker.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 17.-At yester-
days session of the W. C.T.U. conven-
ton Miss Frances Willard made an adj
dress. The big Baptist temple was
filed with people, and the famous
advocate of temperance was greet
ed with much enthusiasm Miss Will
ard said that women should have the
right of suffrage, not because the
women were better than the men.
but because they were different.
Down with the gambling house;
down with the saloon; down with the
den Of infamy" said the speaker,
and up with the white flag of purer
America.
Miss Willard paid a glowing tribute
to Susan 3. Anthony, and then said
she would stake anything that Rev
DIR. Parkhurst would ultimately come
out in favor of woman suffrage. She
spoke also of the crusade of women
and their efforts looking to the de-
feat of Colonel Breckenridge, and said
that if she spoke of that to DIR. Park
hurst he might say the women could
not vote and that their votes did not
defeat breckenridge. Her reply
would be that had the women had
vote the Ashland district would have
given an overwhelming majority
against breckenridge. Miss Willard
concluded by making an appeal for
funds with which to send women to
the South for the purpose of organic

His Son Traced to EngIsnd.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Oct detectives
have traced Stephen E Cavey, the
wealthy citizen who disappeared from
this city three months ago, to Eng
land. and have found that his Swear
old son, whom he kidnapped,
is with him. Cavey lived in a
large brick house and owned consid-
cradle other real estate in the city,
besides several farms in the vicinity
He left the city because he had been
threatened by Whitecaps and was
afraid of being lynched. Sidney
Cavey, the boy, did not want to go,
according to the story told by other
members of the family. For several
weeks after he was taken away Mrs.
Cavey could neither eat nor sleep, but
sat wrinRing her hands and weeping.
Although rich, Cavey was penuri-
Gus, and it is claimed that he would
not allow his family enough to eat.
All the children and his wife were
poorly dressed and in winter their
clothing was not sufficient to
keep them warm. Cavey was mem
Der of the Patee Park Baptist
attending worship with him every
Sunday, but they were all SO poorly
clad that they were ashamed to
go. There is good evidence to show
that Cavey boarded his money and
kept it without the knowledge of his
family. The larger his bank account
grew the closer he became in his
dealings with his family Before he
went away he drew all his money
from the banks and took it with him
He held a Judgment against the city

Turner Not a Bandit.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-George Turn
Ar, the man who while drunk Satur-
day night avowed himself one of the
Virginia train robbers, having duly
sobered up, denies all knowl-
edge of the robbery. Express messen-
ger Crutch6e1d and a Pinkerton man
visited him in his cell yesterday The
only outlaw Crutchfield can ideutif
is the man who entered the express
car and rified the safe. After a long
look Crutchfield remarked seriously:
mo, he is not the man. The fellow
who came into the car was not quite
so heavy nor so tall and did not have
a voice like this man
The police, however, will hold Tur-
ner for few days.
The theory of the authorities that
the leader of the train robbers wa s
ex-convict George Carter was strength
ened yesterday when it became
known that Carter was in Alexaudrie
last week, and went to a hardware
store to look at some revOlvers. The
man who saw him did not remain to
see whether Carter made a purchase
and the proprietors did not know their
customer. Carriers movements after
he left the store are not known.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-President L
c. Weir of the Adams Express com
pauy said to-day that he believed the
loss from the Virginia train robbery
would not exceed Se5, 900, and that
the sum would probably be less, as
part of that doubtless was in drafts

JUDGE LYNCH HOLDS COURT.
Oscar Morton Lynchea and RsdaIed with
Bullets

LEXINGTON. KY, Oct. I6.-Another
lynching was added to the fall series
of blue grass lynching bees yesterday.
Saturday at the close OF the Beatty
vile fair, IS ar Morton, the most
prominent citizen of Morton, in
Powell county, went on the war path.
Only two weeks ago Morton killed
his man at Stanton and was out on
S., 600 bond to appear at the Powell
circuit court When Morton arrived
at the fair he proceeded TO get drunk
and then went to hunt for Sheriff
Simms. who was his deadly
enemy. a feud of long stand
ing existing between the two.
Simms and Morton met near the en-
trance to the fair grounds and after
a few words both of them drew their
guns and a Quick exchange of shots
followed. Morton using two guns
arm at the elbow, and John Hogg, q
friend of Simms', whipped out his
gun and joined in the battle. When
the smoke had cleared away it was
found that Sheriff Simms was dead,
having been shot through his breast.
one in his abdomen and another
through his arm. Morton was shot
through the neck, while Hogg was
unhurt- Before crowd could collect
Morton was hustled to the county
Jail and placed under guard.
The people became Infatuated and q
big meeting was at once held on the
public square. Colonel John Drum
mond mounted barrel and made a
speech in which he said that the muir
derer must be hanged, but that the
work must be done quietly and with
perfect order; Morton had killed two
men in less than two weeks time and
he must die by the rope. A mob was
quickly formed and marched to the
Jail. The jailor was overpowered and
the keys to Morton's cell obtained.
He was found lying in his shirt
sleeves on the floor OF his cell and af-
ter bitter struggle was seized and
dragged out. He then became very
imprudent and told the mob that he
did not care what they did with him,
provided they did their work quickly.
After short parley, he was taken
to bridge some distance from town
and a rope was placed around his
neck. The leaders drew their guns
and told him to jHmp, or he would be

the doomed man cursed his captors,
and uttering wild imprecatioRs,
leaped into space. The jump broke
his neck, and after dangling In the
air for some minutes he became still,
and vo1ley of bullets was fred into
him. The mob then dispersed and
the body was left dangling from the
bridge.
None of the mob made any attempt
to conceal their identity, and the
hanging was conducted with as much
formality as if il had been q legal af-

The murderer was a wealthy man
who lived near Stanton. He has
killed three men. Coming to the fair
he attempted to kill the fireman of
the train because he would not in
crease the speed the locomotive was
running. This is the eighth lynching
in Central Kentucky in the past three
months. and the people have deter
mined to put down murder if they
have to take the law into their own
hands every time a man is killed.

ON TO PEKlN.
Saps Determined to Take the Chinese
Capital.


LONDON, Oct. 16.-According to the
latest reliable advices from Yokoha-
ma, the japanese army in Corea is
still pushing steadily onward toward
Moukden with view to CO. operating
with the 20, O99 japanese troops sent
to the gulf OF Pe-chi-Li to march on
Pekin. There is every evidence that
it is the fixed purpose of the Japan
csc to capture the Chinese capital be
fore cold weather sets in so as to die
tate terms to China. Even if China
should sue for peace before the cap
ture of Pekin, the Japanese will not
heed such suit, for the determination
is to SO cripple China as to permit no
possibility of an attempt at retalia-
ton.
In the meantime japanese men-of-
war have been dispatched to Foo
Chow and Canton, with orders to
make such demonstrations at these
ports as viii tend to draw the atten-
ton of the Chinese from the real
point at issue the ca Sture of Pekin
and the overthrow of the Manchu
dynasty. The result of such an event
would probably be to throw the Chi
nese empire into state of anarchy.
Japan. while perfectly willing to
confer with the European powers in
relation TO a settlement of the war,
will in the meantime push opera tions
with all possible speed, This is the
secret policy of the government, and
important issues will undoubtedly
arise before any active foreign inter
vention can possibly take place.
Although 1t has been so rumored, e
speedy settlement of the difficulty
seems highly improbable. Russia
does not care to interfere because she
Is now in secret sympathy with
Japan. which latter country in event
of a conquest, will not object to
Russia obtaining a coaling port in
Northern Corca, and will make all
the concessions she cares for in Cen
trail Asia and along the Chinese from
tier. Frances Intervention will mean
an enlargement of her territories in
Cochin China and Tonquin. Under
the circumstances it will be almost
impossible for England and Russia to
act tremendously as intervening pow
ers, owing to the existing strained
relations OF these two countries on
the Central Asian question. Germany
wants new colony and will be easily
satisfied; but in the meantime Japan
has no thought or inclination of
adopting a waiting policy.
Much that has been said derogatory
of the Chinese navy is entirely erro-
neous, and it is the navy that Japan
especially fears and breads an ope
encounter with again. The Chinese
navy is far and away superior TO that
of Japan and the latter country we'll
knows it.
The war fever in Toxic, anG, in
deed, all over japan, is at its height
Those who cannot serve in the army
are willing to impovsrish themselves
to raise funds for the war. Five hun
dred and thirteen subscribers to the
war fund in Yokohama alone have
raised close on So. 600, 900 in addition to
numerous gifts to the army and navy.
