a Mother Murders Her Children.

Last Saturday Mrs. w. II. B. Will
liams, wife of real estate man resld-
ing at Grove City, village about eight
miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio, ar
rived in the city with her three chill
dren-Annie, aged IA Maude, aged
u, and Harry, aged 7, and registered
at the Park Hotel. Monday morning
about eight o'clock Mrs. Williams left
the hotel, and about three clock IN
the afternoon a chambermaid, who
went to the room to put it in order,
found two of the children-Maude
and Harry-dead in bed with their
threats cut. There was a bloody ra-
zor on the foot of the bed. The boy
had died without a struggle, but there
were evidences that the girl had made
a fierce fight with her inhuman moth
err. Annie said that when her moth
err went away, she cautioned the girl
not to 90 to bed and not to say any
thing to anybody about her absence.
Mr.. Williams arrived in few hours
and would not permit his daughter to
talk. Domestic troubles are said
to have caused the arrangement be-
tween Williams and his wife and her
subsequent acts, but he refuses to talk.
Mrs. Williams was arrested and sent
to Jail. She says she killed her chill
dren because she did not want them
to suffer at the hands of their father
as she had suffered.

EKEzEA
And this is the reform record up to
date;

THE Washington Post one day last
week. nnhjshed statement showing
that the increased value of our imports
under the new tariff was in the neigh
borhood Of $2O,OO0,OOO for the first
three months. The Post deplores
this showing as Indicating a great en-
couragement to foreign manufacturers
at the expense of our own, for many
of these goods could have been pro-
duced in our own country. 1t is plain,
however, that $2O,OO0,000 worth of
our own products have been or will be
exported to pay for these, and our
exports are well known to consist
principally of agricultural products.
Our farmers are now looking forward
to better price for their next wheat
crop, because the surplus of last year S
crop to be carried over is less than il
has been for long time. Why is ii
less? Because exports have increased
to pay for our increased imports under
the new tariff. The same law that lei
in a greater quantity of foreign man
uiactures has let out corresponding
quantity of agricultural products; anc
an Improvement in prices is naturally
to be expected in consequence. How
many of our farmers will object seri
ously to the encouragement of foreigr
manufacturers by such means as this

not particularly encouraging to Dem

noted: Democrats must learn more
