. Hon. D. NJ. Sholars, of Qua

Mr.. Foster in the following brief
but forcible speech:
''Mr. President and Gentlemen
of the Convention As the con-
vention refused to order q call of

to nominate for reelection Gov
ernor Foster by acclamatlon, and
as Col. Boatner has spoken on this

''The perpetuities of the demo-
cratic party, the peace and welfare

have not supported nor are they
now supporting for governor of

whose record does not show him to

s'The business interests of New

''The circumstances under which
a majority of the delegates were
elected to this convention, the sur
roundings and environments incl

nomination of candidate for gov

IO0pCNt 40 0OOos
Confronted with a corn crop which
promises to be hundreds of thousands Of
bushels larger than the largest ever re-
corded in the history of the country, the
question arises: What IL to be done with
1t! Railway managers estimate the crop
at about 2,4OO, 00O, 900 bushels, and even
allowing that the interests of railway
properties may have caused such mana
gers to let their ~imaginations color the
facts, the estimates Of conservative stat
isticians based on the latest Govern
ment crop report make the crop over
2,375, 1000 bushels.
Shortly after the war there was Il time
when corn had to be sacrificed in various
ways to get rid of it, but only twice since
1874 has the yield reached 1000. 100000
bushels. In 1889 the yield was 2.112,-
$4,000 bushels, and it was thought to
be a record breaker for all time. The
crops of 1891 aggregated 1000, 154 600
bushels, and the surplus was so great
that in Kansas the corn was burned for
fuel, it not being worth shipment out Of
the State. However, some of the best
posted men in the grain trade are of the
opinion that none of the crop of 1895 will
need to be burned. even though it exceeds
any previous crop by 800, 200 bushels.
On the contrary, the statistical position
Of supply and demand would seem to JUS
tify the opinion that this enormous corn
crop will be a great boon to the country
and prove the financial salvation of many
a farmer whose wheat crop has peer
nearly ruined.
1t takes a long stretch of the magma
ton to grasp the fact that 50. 900 900
acres of corn, one Of the largest acre
ages known, are To- fourishing under
the most perfect weather conditions ever
seen. Railway managers have already
begun to arrange proper transportation
facilities for the corn, and the chances
are that every bushel of it will be used
up or sent out of the country at fairly
good prices.

IS a drcSsmaker. BY and by Mudgett
went to the medical college at Ann Arbor,
Mich. Here he run out of funds. He
and a chum went to work during the sum
mer vacation on a farm. One day it oc-
cured 10 Audgett that il was possible to
obtain a quantity of money by swindling a
ME insurance company. 1t is said that he
told his plan to his chum, who at once fell
IN with it. The chum had his life insured
under a fictitious name, and shortly after
they procured a body from the picking
vat of a medical college, boxed it up and
shipped it to Connecticut. Then it was
given out that the chum had died, the
body was palmed off as his, and Mudgett
got the insurance money, some $4,000.
After securing his degree Mudgett be-
gan the practice of his profession at
Moore's Fork, in his State. His wife was
with him for awhile. She bore him q
child, and then went back to her parents
IN a prolonged visit.
Commits Bigamy.
The young doctor built I'D a fairly good
practice, but did not ask his wife to re-
turn to him, as he thought his field of ac-
ION too circumscribed and he talked of
gong to Chicago to establish himself
there. His was a flirtatious nature, and
meeting an adventures in Boston, he
married her. sac soon found that his
meai's were poor and left him. Then he
laH his real wife a visit and told her he
was going west. That was the last she
nad heard of him for several years. Be
!eving that she was deserted she went to
hard work as a dressmaker to ppo
herself and her child.
Holmes, by which name he is afterward
known, then entered into various schemes
IN Chicago. He employed a typewriter
named Minnie Williams. He learned that
she and her sister were worth $5O,OO0 and
determined to have the money. He per-
suaded Minnie to live with him. Then
they sent for her sister Annie. The lat
Yer soon disappeared and no clue has ever
The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1895-08-01

tracked with Holmes to Detroit. Then
one of them seems to have disappeared.
The other two were traced to Toronto.
1t was discovered that Holmes rented a
certain house in that city and that he had
two children with him. A search was
made. The earth forming the floor of the
cellar had been disturbed. The detectives
began to dig and soon they uncovered the
nude bodies of the two children. Where
the other one is, whether dead or alive
whether or not their father is living, and
whether or not Minnie and Annie Will
Jams were murdered are matters the police
and detectives are trying to solve. That
the Williams girls met death at the hands
of Holmes, there is scarcely a doubt.
That they died in Chicago in a violent
manner has been proved almost conclu.
sively. The police found in a stove in a
three-story brick building at 701 SD
street, which was built by Holmes and
in which both he and the Williams girls
lived, a quantity of charred bones, but.
tons known to have been on a dress owned
by Minnie Williams, and the partly melt
ed portion of a watch chain which was
positively identified as having been the
property of the girl. The contents of the
stove were quickly dumped, and portions
of bones too badly burned to admit Of
positive Identification as belonging to any
particular portion of the body were found.
All of the ashes and debris removed
from the stove was carefully preserved.
The police are now of the opinion that
not only Minnie Williams but her young
er sister, Anna, and the boy Howard Pit
eel met death in this house. Anna Will.
Jams has not been seen or heard of since
Holmes left the 63d street building. If
she has fallen victim to Holmes murder
Gus instincts she will be the sixth he has
killed-Pitezel, his three children and the
two Williams girls.
Holmes pleaded guilty to conspiracy in
defrauding the insurance companies out
of about S250,O00, and was awaiting SEN
tence therefor when the bodies of the
children were found and the suspicion
that he murdered Pitezel was aroused.
Of course he disclaims all knowledge Of
the manner of their death.
