J@ry Takes 11at One ballot, Having De-
..,s cided BEFORE They Retired.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.-Henry HI.
Holmes was convicted Of murder in the
first degree at 1851 Saturday night for
killing Benjamin F. Pitzel. He coughed
slightly when he heard the words. That
was the only sign. The jury retired to
deliberate at $40. According to one Of
their number, they reached their verdict
before the doors Of their room closed
upon them. For hunger's: sake they
ate their supper first. Then they took
a ballot and without hesitation every
man of the IL answered guilty of muir
der in the first degree"
Immediately after the announcement
Of the verdict the usual application for
leave to file motion for a. new trial
was made. District Attorney Graham
did not oppose the motion, and Judge
Arnold fixed the 18th of this month for
q hearing. The principal reasons urged
will be lack Of time for the. preparation
of the defense.

.,PUREIs POLITICS.

No one who has studied American
affairs will dispute the statement
that the country needs to have a
greater interest taken in politics by
the business men and professional
men. It ought not to be considered
disgraceful for a reputable business
man to be an active participant in po-
litical affairs. OF this the Iowa
State Register says:
An interesting remark anent the
social influence of patriotic societies
is going the rounds of the press. 1t
seems that member of the Sons OF
Revolution took it for granted that
membership in such an organization
meant admission into society. He
was promptly told that nothing OF
the kind is true; that social position
is quite independent of connection
with such an organization. There is
no reason why it should be otherwise.
But the point of interest was the
statement that "1n colonial times and
in the Revolutionary times every gen.
tleman was politician, and proud to
call himself SUCH" There is ring
in that sentence that ought to inspire
men nowadays with devotion to their
country and such devotion can only
be manifested in times of peace by
q disinterested participation in the
political affairs of the people. 1t is
no mean part to play to be politi-
clan. Those who look down upon
The calling and to whom the term is
are unworthy OF their in
neritance Of Republican institutions.
We hope that the time may fully re-
:eturn again ''when every gentleman
vas politician. There is nothing
in the two.

ing and energetic business men Of
the state, was in Worthington Satur.
day.
Mr.. Weaver was president of the
Minnesota State Fair this year and
with his usual get up and push sue
ceeded in making it great success
in every way. Mr.. Weaver is an old
resident OF this state and is we'll
known all over it as his business has
for several years past compel ed
his travelling all about it,
He is simon pure republican, too,
and has been at all times through
uot our political scourges OF
populism. alliance meetings and de-
mocracy, and has not been contain
mated to the extent of advocating
free silver. He is one of those men
that possess political ideas founded
on true political principles.
OF the late election he thinks they
are but gentle zyphers compared
with the political cyclone that will
sweep over this whole country in
1896, which will result in complete
humiliation of democracy.
When approached on the question
of running for governor on the re-
publican ticket next year he would
not commit himself anyway by even
limiting that he had ''bee buzzing
but spoke out that he wanted to see
some man heading the ticket who
had in no way compromised his re-
publicanism. That he hoped to see
an entire state ticket in the field of
candidates who did not have to be
excused for any of their past politi-
cal actions or doings but who could
consistently go before the people in
their records as true blue America
loving and serving republicans-that
the heading in the state ticket OF
"Republican Ticket" would mean
that the nominees thereon were
of that faith in principle and prac-
tice.

MARIA, THE sNIlASHER.

Sad Story Of Her Life Of Mis-
~ :.:..'..t.. cry. "h%f%E.Es
The Redwing Republican con.
tains the following story Of tbe
life of the celebrated window
smasher who visited Worthingtor
short time ago:
Recently the statement was
made. in the Republican that M
ria Kicks, who has gained motor
iety all over the Northwest fol
breaking windows, was in town
Coupled with that statement wat
the announcement that the police
would send her out of town or
the next train. 1t was the won
ans second visit to Red Wing but
on neither occasion was she given
opportunity for gratifying he1
passion for destroying property a.
both times she was closely watch
ed. At other points, however, the
experience has been different.
Her history is sad one. Fen
years ago she was o happy and
contented woman, living with her
husband in St. Paul. He is en-
ployed in Wholesale drug house
in that city. About the time NEIL
toned she became afflicted with!
peculiar nervous complaint, which
but the use of chloral. and
other equally strong drugs would
relieve. The habit of taking
chloral became mania with her
and grew upon her until she be-
came slave to the drug that fin
ally only extremely large doses
would take effect upon her nerves.
Then it was that insanity began to
assert it's sway. She would 20 to
he office of physician, accord
ng to her story, and ask for chlor-
Il to relieve her s,1fferings. The
DOCTOR would pour out an ordinary
lose of the drug and upon his re-
using to increase the dose she
would fly into passion and break
Ill the glassware in the office, win
lows, bottles and everything in
he OIL CO that would make a crash.
After she had repeated this in
several doctors Offices in St. Paul,
he was arrested, examined for in
anity and sent to the asylum at
st. Peter. When under proper
medical care the disease from
which she suffered became dormant
nd she was released. When at
liberty the disease again asserted
tself and she has gone through
he same experience of smashing
windows and being sent to the asy-
um until in the past ten years she;
las been incarcerated no less than
line times-three times in St.
Peter, three times in Fergus Falls,
vice in the Rochester asylum in
his state, and once in the asylum
It Viroqua, Wis. From the latter
,lace she was released as cured
ess than a month ago, and since
hat time has travelled all over
owa. At Davenport she says she
mashed windows valued at $500.
'he also did some smashing at
1edar Rapids and Sioux City. The
authorities at every place in order
o save expenses send her out of
own rather than have her commit
ed to the asylum.
She is a woman Of about thirty
ears of age, Of neat figure and
omely face, in which the ravages
f that most horrible Of all diseases,
insanity, are plainly discernible.

ASHES OF THE ANARCHISTS.

Scheme to Cremete the Remains OF
Pa1sonsr Spies, ct. al. Approved.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The bones Of the
anarchists hanged for the Haymarket
massacre are not to rest in peace The
bodies Of August Spies, Albert Parsons,
Louis Lingg, Adolph Fischer and
George Engel. now lying in Waldbeim
cemetery, will be exhumed and Gre
mated. The ashes will be reinterred
somewhere, it is not known where, but
in a spot to which those who hold tbs
memory Of these men dear may visit
when they will. THIS was the sugges-
ton made at meeting Of societies and
trades unions of Chicago in Grief's
hall, and which was cheered with
stormy vehemence. Ascore of speakers
took it up and each in his turn was
greeted with cries of approval. There
was not dissenting voice. The idea
of such, action was the ouscome of the
decision of the officers Of Waldheim
cemetery in refusing to permit the an
nual demonstration this year at the
grave OF the dead anarchists on the an
niversary Of their execution
At the conclusion Of the meeting it
was announced that there would be a
demonstration nevertheless: It will be
held in a hall on West Twelfth street.
Johann Most and Lucy Parsons will be
the star attractions.

they don't care whether they are going

inc, as well rs the labor in the fields;
you see, they have women'S rights
to the fullest extent. They carry in
bundles OF hay collected on the mesas,
for which they receive % cents a
bundle; then they bring in OllOS, which
they have spent days in making. These
ol!aS are water vessels, made of clay
n painted in various designs.
They will keep water cool in the
warnest summer day, and the water
stored in them is much agree

portion, at least, rs exceedingly poor.
When their little children are i'll they
can seldom afford the services Of a

more than the burial OF n Of these
little children. The parents can not

child. The little brothers and sisters,

nothing to depend or but the income
Of the employees Of the Southern Paci-

itself, everything which should go to

THE ENGINEERS SMILE.
when They Read About Railroad
Adventure. as Generally Report

ed.
"Old railroaders smile frequently
when they read in the newspapers the
accounts Of alleged thrilling adventures
Of engineers" said a member Of the
craft For instance, | noticed a story
la some Chicago Dape' not long ago
Of the terrible experience Of a man
whose hair was turned white in fif-
teen minutes or something of that
kind, by the close call he had Of going
through a bridge. There had be>n a
heavy rain, the supports had been I'M
fermined, and the whole business
would have gone down under the next
train that struck il.
AN this would have happened if
the eagle eye of the man at the throt-
tie hadn't taken in the situation about
half am lie back on a heavy down
gradn ard rev erSed the engine. The
queer part of the story was that this
eagle cye'-that's what We call 'em
on the rOad-daren't reverse his lever
until he has nearly brought the train
to a standStill with the air brake.
otherwise" said the story writer,
the engine would have jumped the
track That isto sy if he had put on
the airbraSe and reversed his lever
at the same time the sudden stOppage
and reversal would have thrown her
off.
Now all this reads very well, | sup
pose, to the general public, who don't
care whether Il thing is true or not
Just so it interests them. 1t amuseS a
railroad man for another reason. He
knows that an engine won't do any
thing OF the sort. Wherever there Is
danger ahead which cOmpels a mar to
stop right quick he/dOeSn't have any
time 10 waste setting the brakes and
then waiting for the train to slow up
before he throws his lever. He gives
gives the air brakes a shove with his
foot aud throws back the lever, all
by the same motion, you might say.
It's all done in a second
"Then, IL he has a chance, he looks
out for himself; he has done all that
he can and he jumps. AS a general
rule, If the accident which he a pre-
pared for really takes place, he does
not have time to jump, and although
engineers are as brave rs any set of
men alive, because a nan takes his
life in hand whenever he goes out or
n rum. they often get the credit Of
being heroes and sticking to their en-
gines in the face of danger Which,, as
n matter of fact, it was the only thing
they could possibly do. When a man
discovers a washout or another train
coming toward him on the same track,
1T is usually too late TO get out OF the
way before the smash takes place.
The heroism comes In in holding a
place year in and year out which is
liable to cost him his life at any hour
Of the day or night through the blum
der Of some n else, or some accident
that nobody could forcsee or prevent"
