CHICAGO, March S.--Carefully concealed
in barrel and covered with mass of old
rags and cotton, the dead bodies of a grey
haired man and a newborn babe were
found in an alley in Hyde Park today. In
consequence the police are working on
what they consider double murder. Only
one clew is in their possession. and on the
discovery of the identity of a woman as yet
unknown to the police depends the possible
solution of the mystery.
Early this forenoon the Office of Ralston's
Hyde Park morgue was rung up on the
telephone, and a woman who declined to
give either her name or address asked if
the body of a man had been found in Hyde
Park. The office attendant replied in the
negative, and then questioned the woman,
but his efforts failed to get any
information of a decided character. al
though she told the clerk she was looking
for man who was missing. She was
finally prevail ed IL on to give his descrip-
ton which she did in minute detail. She
astonished the morgue attendant by say
ing that he would certainly learn about the
case later on.
Four hours later the barrel with its
chastity contents was discovered in the
rear of the house at 1929 Indiana avenue.
The body of the man tailed in almost
every respect with the description fur
nished by the mysterious woman over the
telephone. The police unhesitatingly con.
nected her with the case. In the barrel
was also the body of a boy not over three
days old.
J. A. Nourse, residing in Prairie avenue.
while emptyng pan of ashes in the alley.
discovered a barrel which aroused his Curl
osity. Breaking open the head of the bar

body of an old man inside. 1t was entirely
nude and was frightfully mutilated. Cow

ton. The police were at once notified al
the barrel was removed to the morgue
The head and trunk gave every evidence If
foul play, the skull showing several deep
wounds. There was nothing else to give
any clew to the mans identity. After the
body had been lifted from the barrel
the body of the baby was found. 1t was
nude save for thin flannel shirt and there
were two marks on the side of the head.
apparently made with blunt instrument
The body of the elder male was that of a
man between So and 20 years old.
The police laugh at the theory that it was
the work of medical students and are posi-
tive in their statements that the man and
child were murdered.

WICKED CONVICTS
Waupun Prisoners Steal socks and Sell Them
For Whisky

WAUPuN, Wis, March S.-A wholesale
robbery of the penitentiary contract firm
by convicts in the Wisconsin prison has
been discovered. Convicts engaged in the
robbery received money, various luxuries
and liquor in exchange for the goods. For
some time past Warden Roberts has sus-
pected that illicit traffic was being carried
on, and discoveries were made last night
that led to the arrest of Arthur Miller. a
farmer living near the prison, and Ere.
mont Fairbanks, farm hand.
R. c. Russell, convict trusty employed
in farm work, several months ago ar
ranged for other convicts. with Miller, it is
alleged, to receive and dispose of socks
from the knitting department of the peni-
tentiary. Money, whisky and other arti-
cles received in exchange for the goods
were divided among the convicts. Miller
and Fairbanks confessed and told where
large quantities of the stolen goods could
be found. Russell was placed in solitary
confinement and Miller and Fairbanks
were held for trial.

MASONIC OBLIGATIONS
Those Imposed Upon the Members and Their
Teachings

e. f, j. White contributes the following
on Masonic obligations and their nature:
An opinion is prevalent that the moral
Obligations Of a Macon is greater to the
members of the fraternity than to the rest
of the world. However this may be, it Is
certain that no man can be good Mason
who does net discharge his du les fully in
all respects to all men. Masonry may and
does exert an influence over those who
have entered into the bosom of the instlu.
ton. and that influence ls manifested IN
pra;seworthy manner by their being good
citizens ard use.ul TO the community. But
Masonry does not profess TO, and neither
can it, change in all cases the character
ard deposition of those who are the recip-
tents Of its mysteries. It's truth tuai pre-
sents itself fcrciGly to the mind OF the
Free Mason that a man who does not
perform his obligations to his fellow clti-
zens, can never become good Mason. anu
never shool1 be admitted to membership;
bat. alas. human sGsaclty cannot always
prevent the admission OF the UNIV worthy.
The OBJ gaiioGs Of member of the insti'
tution. ioMaGJs society III general, is IN
creased by this connection, and he Is re-
minded OF his duty in his progress as he
advances ia the several degrees. From the
frat stage CT his connection with the
society, he lie reminded. that "at home and
10 his neighborhood he is to behave as
wise ami neral man" as he advances he
is IA lght that "in the state he is to be u
quicl and reaceaDie cltiaen. true to his
purernment and just to his country.
These are the precepts taught to the re-
cipents of cur mysteries. These the
orngalions of a Mason to his fellow cil-
zans, and these duties it is expected every
Mason will faithfully discharge.
1t is not claimed for Freein isonry any
thing more than ii deserves. but that
need of praise to which the institution is
entitled should be freely awarded.
Creeus do not inculcate brotherhood. eX-
cept to a very limited extent indeed;
and this has contributed to multiply
sects and increase bigoiry and fana,i-
cism in the world. OF this, the en-
periepce of the past and present furnishes
abundant testimony. The obligations inn
po.ad upon the Mason impress HIM with
The Importance CT cultivating kind aud
generous feeling toward every creature Of
the Almighty. Freemaeonry would break
down the walls of partition that
divide men from eacn oiEer; it
would overleap the barriers Of
false systems, and establish the true; it
would. in tho practice of genGne beney.
lence, train the feelings of all to its eXer-
else, ana thus make earth an Eden. If the
pure religion of the great Gou was uni.
versally practiceI, Masonry would find its
mission accomplished, aud it would cease
TO exist as all institution. But man is still
estranged from his brother man; Masonry
has still its work of reconciliation to per-
form, and to this all its Obligations tend.

Learn How to Apply Principles

The primary need of cultivators of the
soil is principles rather than information.
Broadly, it 10 education that is needed
rather than specific knowledge. People who
demand what they call practical instruction
really want information for particular
case; that is, they want rules for some
local and inhexible conditions, but
really this is what ITO one can
give. The experiment station cannot
tell the farmer exactly what
must be done with his particular farm. The
best that can be done is TO furnish him
with principles which he must apply for
himself. He knows his own soil as no one
else does; he knows his own resources and
limitations, ard he ought to be able to
make use of general principles as they
apply to his own particular case better
than any one else.-Garden and Forest.

| Associated Press Special Wire
| WASHINGTON. March S.-The Cuban
| question will be revived in the senate Mon
day on the proposition to accept the report
of the conference committee agreeing to
the house amendments. There is posi-.
bility of considerable debate on the subject
but on the other hand the report may be
| accepted after brief exchange of views.
| 1t is believed that under no circumstances
will the question be prolonged beyond
Monday and there is little doubt that the
house resolutions will be agreed 10.
The Dupont Delaware election case will
also continue to receive attention during
the week. Senotor Turpie will speak on
Monday in favor of the seating of Mr. Du
pont and will bs followed, when opportun-
ity affords, by either Senator Prtchard or
Senator Chandler for Dupont. 1t is not
believed the debate on this question will be
concluded during the present week. The
bill to prevent the determination of the
Alaskan seals has been made the special
order for Thursday next. but whether it
will be taken up at that time will probably
depend upon whether an amicable ar
rangement can be made concerning the
Dupont case. There is no disposition on
the part OF the managers OF the seal Dill 10
prevent continued consideration of the
Dupont matter. The seal bill will provoke
discussion when reached. 1t is understood
TO be Senator Morgan's purpose to discuss
it at length.
Senator Butler has given notice of a
speech on Wednesday on his bill to pro-
hbit The further issuance of government
bonds. If the committee on public lands
gets in its report on the Arizona land bill,
recommending its passage over the presi-
dents veto. it may be taken up, and it
will probably arouse considerable discus
sion.
IN THE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, March S.-The house this
week will continue work on appropriation
bills and dispose of one. possibly two, of
the pending contested election cases. The
postoffice appropriation bill, it is thought,
will be passed tomorrow. The naval appro-
priaton bill is the next supply bill in order.
During the week the Aldrich- Robbins case
from the fourth Alabama district. the re-
port of which is against the Democratic
contestor, will be called UP and if time is
offered the report of the committee in the
Benoit-Boatner case from the fifth Louis-
ana. declaring the seat occupied by Mr..
Boatner vacant, will be acted upon.
