MURDER AT CHURCH.
Wichita Man Shoots His Wife
at the Church Door.
Puts the Revolver to His Own
Head and Fires.
BOTH FALL LIFELESS.
Whole Congregation Witnesses
the Shocking Tragedy.

WICHITA, Kan, April s.-Under the
shadow of the spire of the Lincoln
Street Christian church of this city at
noon yesterday a terrible tragedy oc-
Cured before the eyes of the entire
congregation. On the sidewalk in
front of the church Walter Scott
fred a bullet into the brain of
his wife and she fell at his
feet a corpse. Three hundred peo-
pie were horror struck where they
STOOD and before a hand could be
raised or step taken Scott put the
muzzle of the revolver between his
teeth and fred a bullet through the
roof of his mouth into his brains. He
fell near her and husband and wife
died side by side, almost in each others
arms, inside of two minutes from
the firing of the first shot. At
the sight of the bloody tragedy two or
three women tainted and terrible ex-
element prevailed. A frightened man
turned in a fire alarm which brought
the department to the scene adding to
the excitement. When Mrs. Scott was
shot she was leaning on the arm of her
brother
About two years ago the couple were
married. He was only 10 and she was
II and handsome. He became dissatis-
fed and about a year ago she left him.
He then went to Kansas City, but re-
turned about a week ago. In the
meantime she went to live with her
father, who is superintendent of street
work in this city. Yesterday morn
ing Scott met an old friend on the
street and said to him: ST have re-
formed. I am going to church and
will be good" He went to the
church above mentioned and saw his
young wife in the congregation with
her brother. When the service was
over he followed them out and over
took them at the foot of the steps,
t'Are you coming back to live with
me?'' he asked. No. was her reply.
Then his eyes blazed with maniacal
fire, he .drew the pistol with a jerk,
and in the twinkling of an eye he had
bullet in her brain.
It is thought that he went to the
church with the intention of kill
ing her notwithstanding his declara-
ton to his friend, otherwise he would
not have had the revolver in his
pocket. He bought the weapon after
arriving from Kansas City and said
that he was about to go to Okla
homa and would need it. Scott
is a baker by trade and is well con-
nected, his father being a we'll known
old settler of this city. Both bodies
are lying side by side at the under
takers and will be buried side by side
tomorrow. The affair caused great
excitement here. Mrs. Scott was quite
a handsome young woman and highly
esteemed

Kirk la Shelle told me story a few
days ago which pleased Henry Clay Bar
nabee SO much that he proposes to tell
it as his very own. 1t is a story illustra
tive of the undying master passion of the
actor. An actor who plays Juvenile roles
met a leading man on Broadway. The
leading man was dressed in deep black.
There was a wide band of Grape on his hat,
and he had discarded the patent leather
shoes an actor loves for shoes with sub
dued polish that spoke of grief
whats the matter" asked the juve-
nile.
my father is dead, . answered the lead
ing man in a heartbroken voice.
The juvenile expressed his sympathy.
"When did he die?'' he asked.
Last week. We buried him today-a
nice funeral,' answered the heartbroken
voice.

nile.
A smile of enthusiastic delight flashed
over the mourners face.
Large attendance!' he cried. my
boy, we turned them away. "-Exchange

WHY BEEF is HIGHER.
Dealers Say it is Caused by An Advance
In Cattle.

Dealers Say it is Caused by An Advance
In Cattle.
During the last six weeks the price of
beef has increased SO rapidly and so con-
stantly that the butchers, to say nothing
of their patrons, are complaining
The butchers say it is not their fault
nor the fault of the packers, but that the
whole difficulty is due to the increase in
the price of live cattle.
A side of beef which in ordinary times,
would have sold for 51S to 6 cents per
pound now brings from to 81 cents,
and occasionally more. Cattle buyers say
that the increase in the price of the best
cattle would not justify an increase of 80
per cent in the price of meat, but the
cheaper and medium grades of cattle
bring enough more in the market to
justify the change.
Reports come from the big ranges of
rise in prices and an increased demand.
The advance is attributed to hard win
ter, scarcity of feed and a consequent
reduction in the number of marketable
cattle. As soon as grass comes prices
will probably decline.

While the Baron Was Sitting as Beggar
Model = student Pleased Him.
Dining on one occasion with Baron
James de Rothschild, Eugene Della
croix, the famous French painter, kept
his eyes turned upon his host in so
marked manner that, when the COM
pany rose to leave the ~dining-room,
Baron James could not help asking
his guest what it was that so attracted
his attention, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The painter confessed that for some
time past he had vainly sought head
to serve as model for that of beggar
he intended to hold prominent posi-
ton in a painting on which he was
then engaged, and that, as he gazed
at his hosts features, the idea sudden
ly struck him that the very head he
desired was before him. With this ex-
PLANTATION he ventured to ask the baron
whether he would do him the favor to
sit for him as the beggar.
Rothschild, being a great admirer of
art in all its forms, and pleased to be
considered one of its chief patrons,
readily consented to assume a char
acter never before undertaken by a
millionaire.
The next day found him at the paint
er's studio. Delacroix placed tunic
round his shoulders, put a stout staff
in his hand, and made him pose as if he
were resting on the steps of an ancient
Roman family.
In this attitude he was discovered by
! one of the artists favorite pupils, who
alone had free access to the studio at
all times.
Naturally concluding that the model
had only just been brought in from
some church porch, and never dream
ing the character assumed by him was
far from the true one, he seized an op-
portunity when his masters eyes were
turned to slip piece of money into the
beggar's hand.
Baron Rothschild thanked him with
a look, and kept the money. The pupil
soon quilted the studio. In answer to
inquiries made Delacroix told the baron
that this young man possessed talent,
but no means; that he had. in fact, to
earn his livelihood by giving lessons in
painting and drawing.
Shortly after the young fellow re-
ceived a letter stating that charity
bears interest, and that the accumu-
lated interest on the amount that he
had so generously given to one whom
he supposed to be a beggar was repre-
sented by the sum of ten thousand
francs, which was lying at his disposal
at the ROthSchild offices.

OKLAHOMA SAND STORMS.

The Sum Obscured by the Whirling Clouds
and Business Almost Suspended.
Ell RENO, Ok, April 8.-This section
has been visited for the last three days
with most terrible wind and sand
storm, the wind at times reaching as
high as 90 miles an hour, whirling the
sand and dirt about in great clouds
Business has practically stopped and
travel is greatly impeded. About 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon cloud of
sand came up from the southwest that
totally obscured the sun. The dark
ness eff evening settled over the
country. Buildings could not be seen
so yards away and the sand was scat
tered along as though sown broadcast
from a great hand. The falling of the
sand continued for more than an hour,
and those out in it could hardly
breathe.

DANGER IN TOYS.
Those Sold on the Street May Convey
Infection.

Those Sold on the Street May Convey
Infection.
The reading public is by this time
fairly conversant with the ordinary
sources of danger from contagion to
which it is exposed, and it has been
duly warned to avoid the indiscrini-
nate use of hair brushes and towels,
and of the ear pieces of the monograph;
to touch not with unglOved hand the
brass guiding rail of the street car, and
to be suspicious even of the telephone
transnitter. But, according to a med
zeal journal, the latest hazard in infec-
ton is confined to children. Many in
genious toys are now offered on the
sidewalks of city streets by itinerant
vendors. One of these is tube of pa
per, furnished with short piece of
bamboo at one end, up to which it is
coiled by the action of slight steel
spring. On blowing into the bamboo
the coil is unrolled and shoots out near
1y yard, and the sudden extension has
a comical effect, very entertaining to
the youthful mind. Another form of
toy is the miniature bagpipe, which is
made to emit its characteristic sounds
by the pressure of air from small rub
Der ball which has been inflated by air
blown from the mouth Attention is
called to the possible consequences of
buying these toys, which are presented
to a child after being inflated by ques-
tionable breath, and perhaps wetted
with the moisture of the still more
questionable lips of the vender. An in
fected mouthpieee has been known to
be the origin of grave constitutional
troubles, and it seems strange that per-
sons who would hesitate to drink out of
a glass that has been used will buy
these toys and take them to their chill
dren without thought of the disease by
which they may have been contami-
mated. Among the impoverished maxi
ers and vendors, sore threats, diphthe-
ria and contagious fevers in very early
stages may be raging, and children may
contract fatal diseases of even a worse
character than any of these by using
these toys.
