Hsnsh aw's Crime,

William Henshaw,. q former Rock
Island painter. but more recently Of
Grand Rapids. Mich, suicidcd there
yesterday. after fatally wounding
his father-in-law, Jacob Sutton, and
attempting. without success. to shoot
his wife and children. Mrs. Henshaw
left her husband here few years ago
and went to Grand Rapids. Henshaw
followed her there. and the fact that
the woman had instituted proceed
ings for divorce is supposed to have
led to the tragedy.

COMMENCE

The Pretty Custom Observed By College
Graduates Each Year.
Commencement Is like spring in that
Il Is new each year and that familiarity
with it breeds only increased apprecia-
ton. It g.>ws ON the participator as
his years accrue. It is . good day for
the hopeful youths who graduate and
march at the head of the line. It will
seem good to them next year, when they
come back after 10 months separation
and hobnob with one another over their
class punch and presently get in line at
the very tail end of the procession, so
far Oh from the band that they can
scarcely catch the music. But in 10
years time. when they have moved up
10 places nearer to the band, they will
find it dearer still. Then it will have
begun to assume its true properties, as
the day Of all the year that brings back
the youth that is already slipping from
them, by taking them back to the scenes
of their untrammeled adolescence and
rubbing them up against the men who
were young with them when they were
young.
Life brings great prizes to the diligen:
and the lucky. To the average college
graduate Of Is years standing it has
brought q wife and children. a certain
foothold In the world and definite pros
pect of respectable achievement. But it
is better at bestowal than at replenish-
ment. It brings him new things, but 1,
does not fit him out with fresh supplies
Of the treasures that he had. There is
only one set of the men who were young
when he was young, and it cannot be
duplicated.
IT he is wise, and the cookies round
his heart do not get too stiff, he is very
careful Of that dwindling set Of asso-
ciates, and the fewer there are of them.
and the more he realizes the impossible
ty of replacing them, the greater pains he
takes to 60 back to commencement and
take account of stock.
A strangely impressive spectacle is the
forming OF the line of graduates that
marches to the commencement dinner OF
an old college. First comes the gradu-
ating class. then the alumni by classes

response. Glass Of 1921! Class of 1922!
Class Of 1887 Presently, as his class is
reached, the Oldest graduate present
steps out. venerable man, perhaps the
sole representative of his year, and takes
his place amid the cheers of the specta-
tors. Then for a dozen or q score of
classes as the marshal calls the year one
or two or four or five old men walk out,
arm in arm, supporting one another's
steps. Then as the list gets into the for.
ties come gray haired men, but vigorous
and not yet Of the lean and slippered
period. And then in larger companies
the men Of middle age and then the
younger men, and finally q boisterous
crowd 200 strong of lusty youth who
cheer for "'92." A marvelously vivid
panorama of human life is the com.
mencement procession from ''Morituri
salutamus" at one end to Life let us
cherish" at the other. Dull must be the
spirit that is not stirred by it. And YET
it is cheering sight with all its pathos
SO much good fellowship it shows and
sympathy and joyous greeting when old

L FLOWED UP LIE.

A sensational bull dispatch to the
Chicago Tribune announces that the
wheat growers of Southwest Kansas
have entered into an agreement among
themselves to plow up twenty-five per
cent of their wheat and to put the ground
INTO corn, in pursuance of the idea that
such dIminution would enhance the
value OF the next crop. The dispatch
says the matter was brought about
through secret discussion and that the
spring wheat growers of Northwest
Kansas have endorsed the scheme by
pledging themselves not to SOW over
twenty-five per cent of their intended
acreage. From Kansas it is expected
the plan will be adopted by other west
ern wheat growing states, to which end
convention of farmers is said 10 have
been called for March Goth at Topeka.
Southwest Kansas is the garden of the
west and the finest winter wheat section
IN the United States. Take from the
aggregate productions of the state the
crops of the eleven counties of this Sec
tlon OF the state and the agricultural
report Of Kansas would not be worth
publishing. But the farmers of the Ar
kansas valley and tributaries are
neither cranks nor tools. If they plow
up any wheat fields it will be because of
the unpromising condition of the crop
and not with the idea of increasing the
price of wheat thereby.

EMPEROR BILLS IDEA.

Emperor William of Germany is op-
posed to the Mckinley law, and says it
ought to be abrogated because it is
directed against all Europe, which
should make common stand against it
and for the Cleveland idea, because
America boasts unbounded resources
within herself. Emperor Bill is off. The
American idea is not against Europe or
any one nation of Europe, but for the
protection of America. The Republican
party is bent on developing those "nn-
bounded resources" to which he alludes.
and thereby enhance our own prosperi-
ty. While the affairs and economic con-
dltions of Europe seem TO concern Mr..

wife-a helpmate and housekeeper, the
country girl is the one to be courted, won

wife, the wholesome mother and the
never failing loyalist. As someone OBJ

Is 1T A NEST OF vIPERsa

This is the day of object lessons.
Grover Cleveland set the ball rolling
with his famous edict, calling for tariff
reform. Since that event We have had
them in an all round collapse of bust
ness, in sundry developments of po-
litical rottenneSs, and now in the con-
tortions of full grown serpent in the
nest of social vipers in Washington. A
member of congress, literally endowed,
and with high social connections, shows
up with record so black, and trail so
Shiny that the recital of his crime is un-
fit for publication. The blackness of
his real character is shown In his own
admission of guilt, but relying on the
proof that his partner in crime was
equally guilty, for vindication. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether Or not this line
of defense viii purify his character, and
reinstate him in Washington society.
The first recital OF this object lesson is
bad enough in all conscience, the sequel
will test the actual social requirements
at the capitol. When candidate for
the presidency can read the charge OF
Illicit relations with an ignorant woman,
and blow it away at a single breath by
a simple "tell the TRUTH" there is some
thing wrong. When representative of
the people descends to the habits of
brute, covering his lecherous deed with
a thin veneer Of pity, and defending his
course by the arts and intrigues of a
master mind, it is time for the public
to look into the venomous nest which
harbors him.
Thou shalt not commit adultery" is
as much part of the decalogue and the
moral code, as Thou shalt not steal"
or Thou shalt not kill" and the voice
of the people should be no less potent
than the thunders of Sinai. 1t is ap-
palling that such men can sit unim-
peached in the councils of any nation.
Followed to its legitimate results it may
yet be written of the nineteenth century
in the United States what Carlyle said
of the eighteenth in Europe: 'That the
best thing it did was to blow out its
brains in the French revolution,

The monumental brass of it staggered
him. Then surprise gave way to admi-

said in confidential tone that was
