selfish motive impels me. Personally,
I am heartily in favor of waterworks.
During the past five or six years I have
paid out more money each year for
hauling water to keep the shade trees
around my lots alive than my share of
the extra tax would come to in 20 years.
The greatest good for the greatest num-
Der is my motto. The tax levy is high
enough, God knows, in our village at
present. Come to add Is or 90 mills
more and the burden would be too
grievious to be borne. would be direct
ly benefited and could we'll afford to pay
the extra tax, but how about eighbors
Chute, Cater, Cravens and a host of
others who will receive no benefits at
all? If those who were benefited would
stand the expense of maintaining the
plant and paying the interest, why that
would be horse of another color. Let
us be fair in this matter. Would it be
right to levy a tax against all the
property of the village simply
to afford fre-protection to the property
owners on Main and First streets?
Ten years hence our railroad bonds
will fall due, the court house bonds
will have to be paid about the same
time, then there are the school house
bonds. Taxpayers of Princeton, stop
and consider before you vote to in
crease your bonded Indebtedness. Our
beautiful little village is growing-is
steadily gaining in wealth and popu-
lation-do not make the tax rate so
high as to retard it's growth. Let us
wait few years longer, and then let
us have a system of waterworks and
electric lights that will be a credit to
our village and give general satisfac-,
ton.

The ball game between the first nine

the game was quite interesting to the

CRIMES OF AN AGED MAN.
Without Cause He Kills His Wife
and Then Shoots a. Little
Girl.
Made in Vain to the Pistol
Wielder.

TorrENHAM, Ont. Feb. 16.-A strange
and horrible tragedy was enacted here this
morning by Robert Newberry, prominent
citizen, rs years of age. Newberry lived
with his wife and little niece.
This morning, without apparent cause,
he suddenly drew revolver and shot his
wife in the back of the head, the bullet
coming out through her forehead, killing
her instantly.
He then. chased the little girl into the
backyard, pointing the revolver at her.
She pleaded with him not to shoot, but
with no effect, and a bullet was put into
her hip. Newberry then re-entered the
house and shot himself through the head,
expiring some hours later.
Newberry was farmer and had been in
poor health. His wife was considerably
his junior, but no trouble is known to have
existed between them. The child's wound
is not serious.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-A storm of finan-

exceeding in intensity any discussion in
the upper branch of Congress for many
days. 1t was brought on by HilPs advo-
cacy of his resolution defining the policy

paying its obligations in the best money in
use. The New York Senator spoke with
his usual vigor and was closely followed in.
his plea for sustaining the national credit
by declaration of policy to the world.
But Hills speech was merely the warn
ing note of the STORM. He was followed
by Wolcott of Colorado, Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, and later by Tellerlo Colorado,
in the most soathing denunciation and ar
raignment of the administrations for its
recent bond contract with the Rothschilds
and other foreign bankers.
Wolcott made direct and personal criti-
cism of the President. Lodge was more
temperate, but quite as severe in his per-
sonal arraignment of the President, declar-
ing the recent bond contract was the
blackest act in the history of American
finance.
Teller added to the flood of criticism on
the recent acts of the administration.
Hill replied briefly and with spirit. He
declared that futile effort was being
made to arraign the Presidents admins
tration for its appeal to the Rothschilds
while as a matter of fact the former Re-
publican administrations had sold bonds
to these same foreign bankers. Hill de-
clared the President and Secretary of the
Treasury had secured the best terms posi-
BILE. The Senator closed his speech by
reading the Associated Press cable from
Berlin announcing the purpose of Germany
to convene another international none
tary conference. No action was taken on
the Hill resolution and a renewal of the
financial discussion is expected on Mon

IS STRUCK BY AN ENGINE.
Wreck Of a Passenger Train Outside
the Limits Of a Kansas
Town.
Ten Persons Seriously Injured Through
the Carelessness of an
Engineer.

PITTsBURG, Kans, Feb. 16.-The regular
Santa Fe passenger train from Kansas
City was wrecked just outside the city
limits this evening and several of the pas
sengers injured. None of them, it is
thought, will die. After being removed
from the wreck the injured passengers
were distributed over the city, making it
impossible to get an accurate. list of those
hurt. AS far as obtainable the list is as
follows: Conductor Ramsay, injured inter
nally; George Davis, a boy, leg mashed; !;
Miss Bertha Carver, side punctured by
broken timber and otherwise badly in
jtred; Under Sheriff Hi Adsit, both legs
broken, arm dislocated, cut about face;
Mrs. DR.. M. E. Johnson, leg broken, face
and body badly cut; son OF Mrs. John
son injured internally, body mashed and
ear cut off Joe Ennis, leg broken, cut
about face and head, injured internally; !;
Miss Laura James, leg and both arms
broken, ugly hole in the head.
The wreck occurred just outside the city
limits at the junction of the Santa Fe, Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf roads. A Missouri Pacific
coal train was switching and the engineer,
looking back for signals, failed to see the
approaching Santa Fe passenger going
north. The coal train struck the tender of
the Santa Fe, throwing the entire passen-
ger train, except the engine, to the bottom
of 15-foot embankment. Every person
on the Santa Fe was more or less injured
and the wonder is that nobody was killed.
The injured were removed as quickly as
possible to the houses in the neighborhood
and cared for.
The wrecked train was the regular Santa
Fe passenger, which arrives here at sos
P. NJ. and returns to Girard. The passen-
ger list was fortunately light. So far as
learned none of the crew, with the excep-
tion of Conductor Ramsay, was injured
Both crews put the responsibility for the
mishap on to the other. 1t is said the
Missouri Pacific engineer signaled for the
crossing before the Santa Fe train was
within the regulation distance.

WILL P4F INDIANS CASH.
Thieuing by Traders VIII Cause Radi-

OMAHA, Nebr., Feb. 16.-The Bee to-
night says: 1t was given out at the Omaha
Federal building to-day that in future
Nebraska Indians are to be paid their
annuities in cash instead of the customary
supply of blankets, groceries, etc. This is
said to be the result of the thieving perpe-
trated on the Indians by traders, who
secure their supplies for naught. It is
believed this system will apply through
the entire West.
The recent indictment of three men who
bought cattle from the Winnebagos for a
trife and sold the steers at handsome
profit has opened the eyes of the Govern
ment to the fact that they are but a few of
