Webster City, Iowa, witnessed a

q banquet to six newspaper men in

Our merchants do not advertise
in that way. Some OF the public

Three Charges Of Murder.


PHILADELPHIA, July lS.-District At
torney Graham issued an official state
ment Of the steps taken by the local au-
thorities i'm their endeavor TO locate the
Pitzcl children. The district attorney
says that after Holmes conviction he
questioned him closely about the children
and that Holmes told him the following
story.
The boy Howard was taken to Detroit
and turned over to Minnie Williams, the
woman Holmes met IN Chicago. Holmes
then took tho two girls who were after.
ward murdered, 90 Toronto, whore he
sewed 800 in the clothing Of Alice Then
he joined Minnie Williams mt Niagara
Falls, where he gave the girls into her
Keeping, and the woman and children
went first to New York and ultimately to
London, where the woman established q
massage resort at so Nedcr or Nedar street
Holmes says She Is known in London as
Minnie Williams, Geraldine Wanda or
Adele Coyell After telling this story
Holmes requested tho district attorney to
insert the personal in a Now York news.
paper, an account Of which has been pub
lished. This was done, but ut the same
time n detective was sent IN quest Of tho
children. Tho search began ia Cincinnati,
thence TO Indianapolis, Detroit and finally
TO Toronto.
AZ Detroit Detective Geyer, who had
been assigned 10 the case, found that
Holmes had rented the house 2Il East
Forest avenue TO which he had taken the
boy Howard. In the cellar OF this house
WIS found a hole feet long 4 feet wide
and ls inches deep, but nothing had boon
buried in IL, and all trace OF the boy was
there lost What Gcyer discovered in 10
ronto iswell known.
The statement of the district attorney
concludes as follows: I" In Wow Of the dis
coydry of these facts the roasonableness of
the theory that Holmes killed Pitzel at
1916 Callowhill street, this city, becomes
apparent and whether the prisoner, who
is securely held in our county prison, shat
be tried here for the murder Of Pitzel in
this jurisdiction or be taken to Toronto &c
be tried for the murder OF the two children
depends upon circumstances, but the pub
lie may rest assured that no effort will be
spared TO bring this great criminal to jus
tice, where he shall DO made TO suffer the
penalty Of his misdoings."

From the London Spectator.
Certainly this is an art in which the
imagination plays greater tricks with the

generous undertakings, sympathy in
works OF pity. sympathy even In suffer

natural enough That we should desire
TO have others adding their stream OF

either to relieve the pangs OF misery or
to soften the bitterness Of fear, We can
understand That which humans us in

The timid feeling among many that It
wss possible the revival Of business
throughout the country was only tempo
rarg Is rapidly passing away and the
situation not only continues to improve
but there is every evidence that the good
times have come to stay. Wages are
steadily advancing In the mills and
foundriss, and in most cases on the
motion OF employers, without waiting for
demand from the employees The prices
paid are, as ruls, already as high as
under the Mckinley tariff, and the ten
dency n still upward.
The agricultural interests are also
fairly hopeful The Boston News Bureau
in speaking Of the markets, speculative
and othsrwise, diagnoses the situation BY
saying While crop reports received
from private sources are more enoouraa-
Ing than those published. It Is nevertho.
less conceded that Winter wheat and
small grains have been considerably
damaged. A larger acreage Is being
devoted to corn, but It's late planting
renders It liable to hot winds and early
frosts. At the same tins Il is not sbao-
iutely certain that large crop, with
resultant low prices, is OF such benefit
