ward if he was ready to go with her,
but he remarked that there was a pos
sibility Of detection if he went along
with her in the carriage. Blixt, he
said, would drive her to the appointed
place near Lake Calhoun, and he (Hay-
ward) would take a car and meet them.
Accordingly she acqtiesced by driv-
ing with the engineer. Hayward left
them and went back to the Ozark, and
from there to Mr.. Bartleson's 8 residence,
arranging for his alibi. Blixt rode
along until he reached the intersection
Of Lake street and Excelsior road.
Catherine appeared uneasy and several
times asked for Harry. Blixt told her
he would soon make his appearance.
She then turned her head to look back,
at the same time remarking that she
thought it queer he did not come. This
was the opportunity Blixt was looking
for. He had his revolver ready, and
Deliberately Shot Her in, the Head,
under the ear, just as he had been told
to do by his master. Death was instan-
taneous. The murderer drove on for
about half mile, with the dead woman
by his side, hidden from view by the
buffalo robe, and then turned around
and came back, dropping the body out
of the carriage where it was afterward
found by Erhart. He then returned to
the Ozark, arriving there shortly after
10. Blixt was to receive one-fifth of
the insurance money, which was 81, ,0O0,
for his part, in the tragedy. ts &s
Hayward, he said, discussed the MUIR
der with him for fully four weeks be-
fore the murder was done. He also re-
ferred to the other murders that might
occur. He told Blixt that he had killed
two men, and .-.s, T.. .,..... s7...s -.

before the winter was over. He did
not give the names Of those he intended
to kill, but told the engineer he would
let him in on the jobs and pay him well
for it.
Hayward, Blixt said, was planning
TO burn the Ozark some time during the
winter. It was to be burned for the in
surance, and it did not make any diff
ference If every person in the building
was burned, just SO that the job was
well done. Blixt, OF course, was to
help do the work and receive pay for it.

by Sir Robert Balls debate on

GOVERNOR PECK is showing himself
very much disposed to ''do the prop
or thing by his successor. Heseems
almost as much interested in the COM
Ing inaugural ceremonies as though
he himself were to appearin the lead
ing role, and is only awaiting the
wishes of the governor-elect to make
definite arrangements for the great
event. Whether it shall be an osten-
6atious affair, or whether the new
officials will simply sit down to their
desks as though it were the most
natural thing in the world, has not
yet been decided. The views of Major
Upham upon the matter will be as
certained, and the affair definitely de-
6ermined upon, when the major is in
Madison on the goth of this month.
On that day thegovernor-elect and his
wife will be introduced to the people
of the capital. Governor Peck will
give an informal reception at the ex-
4acutive chamber at which he will
make his successor acquainted with
she gentlemen of Madison, while Mrs.
Upham has accepted the invitation
of Mrs. Peck to meet the ladies of the
city at tea at the executive resi-
dence. 1t is thought that the major
will want the inaugural aquiet affair,
and it is about a settled thing that
whatever observance there is will be
without any military display, as that
would incur a considerable expense
which under the circumstances seems
hardly warrantable.

The Review Of Reviews for Decen

THE Review of Reviews for Deem
Der brings to the attention Of it's
readers remarkable state of things
in South American International re-
lations. 1t has been known for years
that Great Britain has persIstently
encroached on territory belonging to
the little republic of Venezuela; but
few Americans have been aware of the
extent Of those encroachments. The
editor of The Review of Reviews as
serts that England is now occupying
a vast region which only few years
ago she acknowledged to belong to
Venezuela, and that in fact she has no
lawful claim to any territory what
ever west of the Essequibo river,
although she has acquired the coast
line as far west as the Orinoco. The
EDITORS charges seem to Unsupported
by the statements of reliable English
publications; the Cyclopedia of
Geography, for example, computed
the area of British Guiane a few years
ago as $4,000 square miles, while
the present area is given as 100000
square miles by all British statistical
works, although there have been no
cessions to England in that region.
AS Great Britain has refused arbitra-
ton of the points in dispute, The
Review of Reviews advocates the ap-
pointment of a joint commission by
the United States, Mexico, and the
South American republics to investi-
gate Venezuela's claims, and that
such as may appear Well founded be
sustained by the united American
powers against England.

Trip of the Editors

The members of the Wisconsin Edi-
torial association who formed the ex-
cursion party to Texas returned from
their trip Sunday afternoon. They
were out just eight days, but in that
short time large amount of valuable
information concerning the develop
ment of the great southwest was gained,
as well as no end of pleasure derived
from the sightseeing. The system of
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway,
commonly known as the katy" sys-
tenn in the country through which it
passes, was thoroughly traversed, and
the most historical point visited was
the Alamo, the "holy place" of the
Texans, where 1S1 American soldiers,
including Colonel Bowie, were massa-
cred by Mexicans in 1886. The arte
sian we'll at Waco, large cotton seed
oil plant at Houston, large pear or
chard near Hitchcock, the $4,000, 900
jetties at Galveston, and the geological
gardens in San Antonio, were other in
teresting sights to the editors. At
Galveston the visitors were entertained
with an oyster roast at one of the
parks. The excursion party numbered
about seventy, among them the follow
ing from this county: H. NJ Knowlton
