Had TerrOrized the Community With q
Revolver and Shot Gun.

Hamilton Tex, May 20.-(SpeciaI)-
A killing took place here today. NJ. NJ.
Wright, former citizen of Falls county,
but who recently resided with his brother,
ON Bear creek about five miles from Ham
ilton, was shot an killed this morning
by the sheriff of this county.
Mr.. Wright left the home of his brother
about week ago to go to Falls county.
He soon became insane after leaving.
Last night he returned to his brothers
house armed with a heavy Colts pistol
and a cleaning dirk and drove the whole
with his pistol and shot gun. 1t was
thought for q time that he had killed the
entire family.
Il. r. Moore, the sheriff of this county,
reached the place about 10 o'clock at
night and found it deserted and the doors
barricaded. Moore forced the door open
and as soon as they entered and struck
a light they were fired upon from above
through a crack in the upper floor. The
sheriff then retired and guarded the house
until daylnight. 1t was the merest acct
dent that the officers were not killed
AT daylight the frightened family came
out from their places of concealment in
the storm pit and elsewhere The Off
GERS again broke into the house and tt
their surprise found that their game haG
escaped. They then began a search fol-
him. The brother of the demented MAJ
warned THE officers. He said hi.
brother was a crack shot and was per
fectly desperate The marks made by
the wild mans pistol and shot gun on tn,
house the night before told plainly tina
such was fact. The hunt on the pan
of the officers did not last long before the,
heard rapid firing down the road abou
quarter of a mile from the house. 1
was the maniac firing at a crowd of boy
who were passing along the road. Tn
officers quickly surrounded him. staying
at distance with the hope that h
would soon exhaust his cartridges, bu
he had grip sack and it seemed to be flu
of them. He stood his ground for
moment and then with a wild maniac
wave of the hand and shout of defiance h
grasped his siX-shoOter in 9th hand
and charged upon the officers. Thre
shots were fired by the officers and tn
poor maniac lay on the ground corpse
The inquest will be held tomorrow. TIL
killing occurred about o'clock this morr
Il ing.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.
Pittsburg Iron Works Make a Voluntary
Increase in Wages.

Ptsburg, Pa, May 1G.--Jones *
Laughlin, proprietors of the American
Iron works, have granted their employees
a 10 per cent increase in wages The firm
employs about 1000 men and are the
greatest rivals of the Carnegie Steel
company in the manufacture of struc-
tural iron. The advance will apply to all
skilled men and to all others except COM
mon labor, which is now receiving
$1.20 per day, the recognized rate for
such work No reason is assigned for the
action of the firm, but ID is thought the
example will be followed by many other
large firms. The Republic iron works
will resume work Monday, paying the
Amalgamated association rate of 81 for
pudding This will give employment to
500 men who have been idle for several
months. The works are Il branch of the

GIFTS TO FOOL THE PUBLIC.

The condemning of alum as an I'M
wholesome ingredient in baking powders
by the government authorities as well
as by physicians generally, has not de-
tered manufacturers of such powders
from foisting them on an unsuspecting
public. Following is a partial list of the
alum powders found in the stores =.
Calumet" Chicago Yeast" "kenton,'
"Grant's Bon Bon" "Hotel" "Taylor's
One Spoon" CLIMAX" Snow Puff,
"Snow Ball" Giant" Milk" Grown"
"Unrivaled," "Silver Star" Davis o.
X" "Forest City" Monarch" "K. c.,
Loyal" Manhattan" Crystal"
"Hatchet," "Home," Echo" "Perfec-
ton" Rocket" "Town Talk, VIENNA
"White Rose" etc.
1t is safe to reject all brands sold with a
prize. All powders sold at % cents or less
a pound are sure to be made of alum.
DR.. Wiley, the government chemist. in
his official examination of baking powders
at the Worlds Fair, threw out all ''alum
powders" CHASING them as unwholesome.

WATER WHEELS RUN AWAY.
Two of the Big Arc Light Armatures
Destroyed Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday moring, as Engineer Ha "
Sparks, in charge of the city's cleo c
works, was shutting off the tower arr
lights, the water wheels driving two Of
the big dynamos iran away" and before
they could be stopped the armatures in
two of the S0-lght dynamos were utterly
destroyed.
Engineer Sparks had cut off one circuit
and reduced the speed of the wheels,
which were running without governor.
but when he cut off another circuit the
wheels, relieved of that much of their
load, started off at frightful speed, and
before he could shut down, the damage
was done.
An order was at once telegraphed and
two new armatures will probably reach
here Monday by express, and until then
only 10 of the towers will be lighted.
The damage amounted to about $500.
1t was caused by not having governors
on the water wheels. No blame attaches
to Engineer Sparks, who, besides havin 6
many years experience, has passed
through the Chicago Technical School Of
Mechanics. His presence of mind it,
Fastening to the throttle and stoppin
the wheels prevented the utter destructiou
of the dynamos and possibly other seriou
damage.

TO SUSPEND WORK.
Miners Of the Pittsburg Region Adopt
q Resolution to That Effect.

Pittsburg, May 16.-A resolution order
ing a general suspension of work in all
mines in the Pittsburg district was adopt
ed at the miners convention here today.
1t was also decided to establish camps
at all the pits working below the rate.
The convention was one of the largest
ever held here and the sentiment of the
men was for calling out all the miners,
whether working for the 60 cent rate
or for the 60 cent rate. Many of the
delegates favored demanding 10 cents,
but it was finally decided to demand the
old wages.
THE delegates left for their homes
this evening to ascertain the sentiment
among the miners, and will return tomor-
row and report to the convention. There
was a mass meeting of operators and
miners after the convention adjourned,
but both sides were firm and nothing
was accomplished. The operators say
they will now bring new men into their
mines. If they do this there will likely
be serious trouble.

MEMPHIS DRILL.
Several Companies Drill in Glass A-Class
b Competition Completed

Memphis, May 1G.-Cold weather had a
restraining influence on the local enthu-
siasm at Montgomery park If there is
one thing Memphsians are proud of, it is
the Chickasaw Guards and this fact
was notably manifested when they
marched onto the drill ground to the tune
of Dixie" Spring costumes were laid
aside for furs and overcoats, but the
"Chickasaw day" crowd was the largest of
the drill so far.
a hot pace was set for the class A
boys by the Montgomery Light Guards
of Little Rock, but it is believed that the
work Of the two local companies, the
Chickasaws and the Governors Guard
today will compare favorably with that
of the Little Rock company. Captain Kyle
OF the Chlckasaws started out with one or
two captains as individuals. The move.
ments of the Chckasaw Guards were
easy and accurate. The drilling time ex.
pired before the company had completed
its program, but whether or not this will
count agnSt them only the judges know
The Thurston Rifles of Omaha completed
the competition in class b this afternoon
Their work was less smooth than in the
case of the class drill and some error,
were made, but on the whole Captain
Scharff's men still have good chance fOl
the prize Tomorrow the Fencibles o

A SILVER RESOLUTION.
A Democrats Convention in Kentucky
Unanimous on the Question.

Greensboro, Ky, May 16.-A Demo
cratic convention to nominate a railroad
commissioner for the First district today
unanimously adopted the following reso-
luton:
"We declare it to be an elementary
principle of Democratic faith that both
gold and silver coin shall constitute the
primary money of the country; that both
metals shall be received for mintage with
out discrimination against either and at
the legal ratio which existed in 1913,
and we demand the coinage of both gold
and silver at this ratio and that both
metals be declared full legal tender in
payment of debts, both public and private.
This being a strong Democratic section
of the State the action possesses signi-
ticance as affecting the probable action OF
the State Democratic convention next
month. Senator Blackburn was here and
was much interested in the adoption OF
the resolution. Much interest is taken in
Secretary Carlisle's campaign here next
week against free coinage.

GOLD COMING IN.

Gold in considerable quantities is being
exchanged for silver certificates of small
denominations in the Northwest. In Chi
cago on Thursday the United States sub
treasury received $4,000 in gold in eX-
change for such paper money, and the
same demand, only less pronounced, is
felt that other points in that region. The

sented for redemption.
