BUXTON PLEADED GUILTY.
Why Mary A. Jones Was Found
Hanging by the Neck-A Most
- AtrociOus Crime.


Sparta, Wis, Oct. 29-Samuel S.
Buxton, who was arrested on Saturday
On the charge of having murdered
Mary A. Jones, a maiden lady, at her
home few miles from this city on
the 21st instant, where she was found
hanging. by the neck, has confessed
the murder. The preliminary hearing
was held this morning, soon after mid
night, when he waived examination.
He was Immediately removed to Spar
ia, fears being entertained that a mob
might attempt to take him from the
Jail. Three years ago Buxton, by a
series of obscene letters purporting to
come from witch and directed to Miss
Jones, hypnotized her and led her to
her ruin. The intimacy continued to the
day of her death. By the same system
of deceit, the infatuated woman con-
sented to be strung up by the neck in
the belief that it would cause the death
of Buxton's WIFE The second time the
experiment was tried Buxton pushed
away the chair on which the foolish
woman stood, and she swung into eter-
nifty. Buxton took what money was in
the house and left for mis- home, a
short distance away, where he was ar
rested, brought to the city and lodged
in Jail. His motive for committing the
murder is that he was tired of the
woman. He will appear in circuit court
at Sparta this afternoon and take his
sentence. Buxton has a wife and three
children The murdered woman was a
near neighbor Of the Buxtons and lived
alone.
AS soon as the court was called Tor
day, Buxton was brought in and pleab
ed guilty and was Immediately sem
fenced to prison for life.

the people of Fremont county witness
ed that which will be prolific of heart
burnings in the future.
Already chickering's have set in
among church members attending the
late conference, and through the ma
chinations of Ben Rich. who went to
extremes in furthering the interests of
the Republican party.
President Kicks early rendered invi-
tations to Hon. j. w. Reid to address
the people at Lewisville. Reid was ae-
companied by Hon. ]. NJ. Ballentine
and Hon. w. L. Webster.
After being billed for the afternoon.
the Republican trustees refused to let
the Democratic speakers divide time
in the church. or to allow them to have
the schoolhouse.
one never before witnessed in the his
tory of the Mormon church, Senator
Dubois drove to the church at 4
o'clock and just after adjournment
of conference. Ben Rich arose and an
nounced that Senator Dubois would
come before them to refute the pub
lished statements of his anti-Mormon
record as published in The Herald OF
the 9th inst The senator addressed
the people, but not before two-thirds
of them arose and filed out in utter
disgust at the spectacle of Fred T.
Dubois, their once great prosecutor,
presuming to talk to them while the
communion service and cloth yet re-
manned on the table on which he now
spread his campaign documents
His speech throughout was a dismal
failure, and has resulted in losing votes
for his party in Idaho. Such proceed

can stand. and the great majority are
loud in their denunciation of such
effrontery and high-handed methods.
The Omaha officials are tied up at

SANTA FEE DIRECTORS
Case Involving Their Election u
Before Judge Foster.

Topeka, Kans. Oct. 29.-The case IN
volving the election of directors for the
Santa Fe Railroad company came up
today before Judge Foster in the United
States district court. The point in
volved is. whether the cumulative sys-
tenn of Voting shall be allowed. Mr..
Dunlap, for the directors, asked that
the case be dismissed on the ground
that the court had no jurisdiction under
the Kansas law of 1887. because the
plaintiff (Smith) was a nonresident,
and a majority of the defendants named
lin the complaint are non-residents.

BLACKBURN DENIES TT.

Louisville. Oct. pa telegram re-
ceived last night from New York stated
that Lloyd Tevis had made the asser-
ton in San Francisco that he had in
fiuenced Senator Blackburn to vote for
what was practically a double duty
on petroleum" Senator Blackburn said
today: 1.-THE petroleum schedule in the
tariff bill was never mentioned to me
by Mr.. Tevis or any one else, nor did /
ever have any conversation with Mr..
Tevis on that subject, directly or other
wise" Blackburn said he was not adj
vised as to the changes, if any. that
were made in the Wilson bill as far as
petroleum was concerned, that being
part of the bill in which he had no
special interest.

THE WRIT REFUSED.
Nebraska's Secretary of State Need
Not Change the Ballots.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 29.-The District
court, of Lancaster county, today re-
fused to grant writ of mandamus to
compel the secretary of state to change
the ballots so that the fusion candi-
dates may have a double place on the
ticket. The decision, in part favors
the Populists, however, as the court
adheres to former decision in which
lit held that there must be a separate
line for each party designation. This
was asked for in the petition of the re-
|lator, Populist Secretary Edgerton. The
court holds that county clerks are en-
power to print the ballots with a
bracket, thus giving a separate line to
each of the words Peoples" 'Inde-
pendent" and Democrat" The other
demand of the petition, that the words
by petition" be inserted after the
words ''P d. Sturdevant. straight DEM
Iocrat," is denied.
While the court holds that county
clerks may print the party designations
in separate lines. this is not manda-
tory

LONGS PENSION CASE.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-The pre-argu-

does not now awaken very much inter-
est. Commissioner Lochran is confden
that the same opinion will be reached
In his annual report, the commissioned
reviews the Long case at some length
in which he says:
This case has attracted wide attenl
ton, because of the fact that the pend
sioner is one of the judges of the SUI
preme court of Michigan, and has. upon
the rostrum and through the press, un-
stintingly denounced the bureau and NY
self for alleged arbitrary and Illegal pro-
ceedings in the reduction of his pension.
and brought suits instigatsd by him in
this district against myself to prevent
such reductions"

THE DEMON JEALOUSY.

Dayton, o.. Oct. 29.-Henry Meyer,
Ia son of John Meyer, member of the
board of education, last night shot and
killed John j. Grimme, a neighbor and
former friend. Grimme claimed that
Meyer was unduly intimate with his
WIFE.
Mrs. Meyer. who had heard Grimme
make threats. followed her husband
through the rear yard as he was leav-
ing the house and was pleading with
him, to remain home.
Just as she reached the rear gate
Grimrne sprang from behind a shed
and exclaimed: Now, Meyer, I've got
you" At the same time he leveled a
revolver at Meyers breast. The wife
sprang between the two men just as
Grimme fired, receiving the bullet in
her right arm and saved her husband S
life. The men then grappled and sew
raj shots were exchanged, when Grim

general power Of congress to impose
taxes for the support OF the govern
ment. He ignores the fact, now thor
oughly understood by the American
people, that the tariff is a tax and al
though the importer pays the tax in
the first instance, it is, as a general
rule, eventually paid by the consumer,
and no man, no class, no people can
legitimately make money out of taxes
imposed strictly for the public bene-
fit
1t Is Demagoguery.
1T is unwise, yes, it is demagoguery
itself, to teach the people that this is
a paternal government and that money
can properly be made by mixing bust
ness with politics. Mr.. McKinley's SEN
timent is a vicious one, and should be
discountenanced by every right-think-
ing citizen.
Taxation, whether tariff or other
taxation, should not be made the in
strument of enriching people, and can
not well be made such unless it is
abused, distorted and diverted from its
constitutional purpose. There is no
mistaking Mr.. McKinley's true mean
ing, because in the same breath he in
terprets by announcing that in Louis
ana the sugar producers proposed to

which he is much rejoiced.
He conceals the true reason whv he
asserts sugar producers in Louisiana
propose to desert the Democratic party
because in the new Democratic tariff
bill the sugar bounties which were pro-
vided to be paid If the Mckinley bill
and which amount to between seven
and eight millions annually, taken from
the common treasury of the people,
have been repealed. In other words,
he seems to approve the doctrine that
every person should receive some profit
from legislation or else should take no
interest in political legislation.
Narrow, Selfish and Dangerous.
''This is narrow, a selfish and a
dangerous view of public and of pri-
vate duty. The great champion of pro-
lection fails to see that if sugar pro-
ducers in Louisiana desert the Demo-
cratic party because they are not given
the privilege of receiving millions Of
dollars of bounties from the general
government then other citizens may
discover that their true interests have
been subserved by the repeal of the
sugar bounties and may conclude to
join the Democratic party by reason of
that fact.

ETY. that people shall vote quickly this

How Mob of Italian Workmen
Propose to Collect Their Dues.
North Yakima, Oct, pa month ago
&c. E. Burlingame brought from the
Sound $50 Italians to work on the ir-
rigation ditch of the Tacoma & Yak
ina Land company, of which he is
manager. Not receiving their pay,
they became incensed at unfulfilled
promises, and the Italians arose in
arms on Thursday last and imprisoned
Burlingame in camp. Although his
tent was guarded, he managed, by a
clever ruse, to escape during the night
and reached this city in disguise. Sun
day his men followed him down and
armed guards surrounded his house
and this morning the sheriff escorted
him TO the Jail for protection. There
he stayed until O'Clock, the force of
Italians clamoring around his prison.
and the mob was only dispersed by the
action of the shireff, who promised to
produce Burlingame tomorrow.
Citizens fear that bloodshed will re-
suit, as the Italians are all armed and
seem determined to have the life of
the contractor.

Corps Should BE Increased.
Washington, Oct 29.-Colonel Charles
Haywood, commandant of the United
States marine corps, in his annual re-
port, asks the increase of the corps.
He is satisfied that the assertions were
caused in a large measure by the hard
work the men were called upon to per-
form. The commandant strongly rec
IA rlends the appropriation for bar
racks at Sitka, Alaska. He says:
1T is most gratifying to me to know
that the marines have again proved
themselves efficient and useful in the
performance of any and all duties that
may be assigned to them. l am par
ticulaIly pleased with the work done
by the fine battalion from Mare island,
which has really added additional credit
to the corps. My thanks are due and
heartily rendered all the officers and
men composing it and especially to
Major Pope, who SO ably commanded
it and made it possible by his zeal and
strict attention to duty and excellent
results"
