WOMEN KNOW

when a picture of life and character is true
to nature; their hearts are touched by the
mastery treatment of sympathetic topics,
they discern the vital interest of correct
representations of social life in every
cline and in every class; they have
quick appreciation of GOOD ART, and a
badly painted picture or one that strikes
false note cannot deceive them.

Arrest of Five Men for the Murder of a
Kansas Cattle Dealer.

SEDAN. Kan, Aug. 21.-After a lapse of
four years the murderers of John s.
Frazer. a prominent cattle dealer of this
county, have been captured. They are all
prominent farmers or business men living
in this vicinity. Their names are Theo-
dore Cox, a blacksmith, of Howard, Kan;
McBee, a druggist in the same town; John
Cox. a brother of Theodore, a hardware
merchant at Moline. Kan; Elmer. another
brother, a prominent citizen of Clinton,
Mo-; William Licklister. at one time a
worker in a strawboard factory at Mum
Gle. Ind.
The crime with which the men are
charged was one OF the most cold bloodee
eve- committed in Kansas. In 1890 w. II.
Gibson and ]. s Frazer were partners in
an extensive cattle business in Chautau-
qua. They imported l,400 head of Texas
steers, 10 which neighbOring raiSers OBJ
jected, fearing they would spread Texas
fever Gibson and Frazer refused to re-
move the cattle, however. and in conse-
qdence were threatened with death. They
paid no heed TO the threats. but in May
of that year Gibson was found dead in a
hotel at Moline, Kan. In June Frazer was
missed. and after a long search his body,
covered with knife cuts was found in a
neighboring stream: Gibson's death was
thought 10 have been caused by heart
disease, but the finding of Frazer's body led
for the murderers has quietly progressed,
eliminating to-day in what the authOri-
ties believe to be the arrest of the active
participants.

ELY UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Beginning of the Inquiry Regarding
the Professors Teachings.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 21-The investi-
heresy in his economic teachings and on
kindred charges, preferred by State Super
intsndent o. f. Wells, was resumed before
the university regents committee this even
ing. Col. George w. Byrd, one of the
ablest lawyers at the Wisconsin bar, was
b. w. Jones represented DR.. Ely. A long
discussion ensued over the question as to
whether the investigation should be limited
to the specific charges as to the alleged
misconduct of Dr. Ely during a local prin-
ters strike or to his teachings as repre-
scented by his writings Colonel Byrd in
sisted on going into Ely's books, while the
opposition combatted the proposition. The
committee was disposed to let in little
of the book evidence, but decided to first
proceed with the specific charges. w A.
Tracy, of the local printing firm which
did DR.. Elys printing. testified that Dr.
Ely had urged him TO make his office a
union office rather than TO have a strike
and that unless he did he (Ely) might
have to take his printing elsewhere, as
the Christian Social Union, for which he
was having it done. might insist on him
so Tracy ties es,ified, that boycotts seemed
necessary sometimes 10 enable strikers TO
win. Ely withdrew printing from the
Tracy concern three months after the
strike in the office occurred, but Tracy
could not say what the reason was A
that Ely entertained a walking delegate
during the strike. but others had since told
him that il not Ely at all. The inv-s-
tigatiOn Will be resumed Thursday evening.

CAMPAIGN SCHEME.
How DOclSery Will Prevent Revolt

How DOcEery VIII Prevent n Revolt
Agninst the Sugar Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Shortly before
Representative Dockery left Monday even
ing for his convention, which will be held
at Richmond on the 22d inst, Democrat
Of national reputation suggested to him
campaign scheme which has created con-
siderable comment among the members,
who, at this time, are attracted by the vari-
Gus suggestions to meet objections that will
be raised against them In their efforts to
handle the Gorman-Brice tariff bill.
The plan suggested to Mr.. Dockery was
that, before the convention at Richmond
should end, he should make arrangements
to have cash deposit placed at every gro
should be applied in the direction of plac-
ing sugar during the campaign in the hands
of the consumers at the present regulation
price. As soon as the raise in price OF sugar
comes the increase should be taken out of
the Dockery deposit and not collected from
the consumer. In fact, the consumers by
this means, all over the district, would be
kept in ignorance of this feature of the new
Sugar Trust tariff law.
The scheme was figured out, and the re-
Campaign dodge with $500 or 5000. This,
Ii was insisted, would be campaign money
well expended. In fact he was assured that
he could do nothing at an equal expendi-
ture that would save so many votes. He
was assured that as socn as it became ap-
parent that the prices of sugar would rise
under the Sugar Trust bill the Democrats
in his district would commence to make
inquiry, and the result would be a stam-
pede away from his standard.
The scheme, although an expensive one,
APP tre6 20 commend itself to Mr.. Dock
cry, and he promised to take the matter
under advisement. Some of the other men,
bers from the Southwest look upon the
scheme in the line of an exaggeration.
but the general tendency is in the direc-
ton of bringing about something tangible.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. - Chairman
Wilson will probably take a trip to Eu-
rope soon after Congress adjourns. He has
invitations to take a trip to the lakes and
another to cross the ocean, and he inclines
to accepting the latter as it gives greater
prospec. of reCuperating his health. He
wants TO be back before September Closes
TO begin his campaign in West Virginia.
His health. however will not permit a
vigorous SCumping tour.
Mr.. Wilson, it is said, has received no
intimatiOn as to what will be done with
the tariff bill. He is confident, however,
that the bill will become a law, and he in
clines to the belief that it will soon be-
come effective without President Cleve-
lands signature. In this event Congress
cannot adjourn before next Tuesday.
