live all the year on the range, and
there are no wild animals that prey
upon them. The only expense involved
is in driving them up, marking the

examination today before the United

A FOUL MURDER.
MRS. MATsoN FOUND DEAD IN HER
OWN HOUSE.
She Had Lain There Ten Days Before
Her Remains Were Found-No
Clue to the Perpetrators of the
Deed.

Topeka, Kas., Dec 20.-At $50 this
afternoon a horrible murder was dis
covered in this city.
Mrs. A. D. Matson was found dead
on the floor of the rooms of her house,
Fifteenth and Monroe streets. The body
had evidently lain there for at beast
ten days, as it was stiff and cold and
there had been no life about the house
for ten days.
A boy who delivers milk at her house
had noticed that the can he left about
ten days ago had stayed on the back.
door step and he gave the alarm to the
police. Mrs. Matson lived alone, her
husband being in California. She lived
in a good deal of seclusion as regards
her neighbors, who are mostly colored
people, and it is not known whether
there was any money in the house or
not. She lay in a little back room on
her back and in pool of her own
blood, which had dried, 1t appears she
had been crirninally assaulted. The
body was covered with clothing and
rags, and a couple of sacks of potatoes
had been placed on her head. She lay in
an easy position on her back with her
arms at her side, her head turned to
the light, her right limb straight out
and her other drawn up a little. Her
clothes were thrown UP over her head
and clotted blood held them to the
floor. The entire top of her head was
crushed in as though she had been
struck with one fearful blow. The
neighbors in the vicinity are all color
ed, and they say they have not seen
Mrs, Matson for two weeks. Mrs. Rob,
inson, who lives across the street, says
that she saw Mrs Matson last about
two weeks ago and she was then COM
ing from the direction of her house and
She had evidently been collecting rent.
She saw no one around the house at
any time and never heard any noise
or disturbance of any kind there.
Mrs. Matson was for several years a
member of the city board Of education
from the Fifth ward, and took an ac-
tive interest IN the city schools. She
was at one time a city teacher. and
was very well known locally. She was
generally supposed to have considera-
bic money, and owned five or six houses
on the east side. Her husband left her
four or five years ago and took up a
homestead in California, where he has
since lived. The only person who seems
to know anything about the case is a
deaf and dumb colored man named
George Knight, who saw two men,
probably on the evening OF the 18th,
enter the window of the murdered
woman's house and afterwards saw
them run away. No ineligible account
can be arrived at from Mr. knight,
except through his brother, who is the
only person who can understand him.
The two will be brought together to-
morrow at the coroner's inquiry Mrs.
Matson was a member of the Topeka
EQUAL Suffrage association and prom
inent suffrage worker.

the bill limits the circulation to 20 per

House may fix, by amendment, the

will make it. clear that the holders OF

Another amendment will provide that
the government will receive the old
notes for internal taxes; cancel them
and issue notes under the law. It is
possible that these end other amend

ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN.
He VIII Not Give His Views About
the Introduction.

New York, Dec 20.-Archbishop Cor
rigan denied himself to reporters today
who sought to obtain his views regard
ing the ecclesiastical Introduction of
secret societies promulgated by Bishop
Mcdonnell, of Brooklyn, to confer
ence of priests of his diocese this week.
Vicar General Forley admitted the
truth of the statement that such an
order had been promulgated.
THE Odd Fellows, the Sons OF Tenn
perance and the Knights of Pythias
have been interdicted," he said.
The decree of condemnation will at
once be promulgated throughout the
church both from the puipits and by
the press AS to the reasons for this
action, it is sufficient to say that they
were condemned because the arch
bishops evidently held that they were
antagonistic to the church.
The understanding is that the move
ment on secret societies was determined
upon by the council of the archbishops
of the Roman Catholic church in the
United States held in Chicago in Sep
TENDER, 1892 That council formulated
certain recommendations which were
forwarded to the pope, who in turn,
laid them before conference OF cardi-
mails who endorsed them, the pope there
upon affixing his seal to a decree or
condemnation.
