Mr.. Chandler Explains.

Concord, N H., April Senator
Chandler today wrote Senator Lodge
explaining the action of the state con-
vention in endorsing both Reed and Nc
Kinley, saying the plank was conces-
sion of the Reed men to the Mckinley
sentiment Senator Chandler says he
acquiesced in the concession, though he
knows it to have been cowardly, as the
Reed men outnumbered the Mckinley
men. He explains that the leader of the
Mckinley forces prepared the resolu-
tons and proposed to make fight for
them. The candidates for places on
the National delegation were all we'll
known Reed men and sure of election
by reclamation. if no fight was PreciPi-
tsted in the convention, SO he thought
it best to allow the platform to go
through unchallenged.

The Murdered Man Found in Trunk
at Chicago Was shipped from salt
Lake.

Lake.
Salt Lake City, March 2S.-The dis
covery of corpse in a trunk at Chi
cago, and it having been ascertained
from the books of the railroad company
that the box was shipped from Salt Lake
City, recalls the sudden disappearance
of Prosser Chazzell about the date of
shipment.
Chazzel came to Salt Lake about
three weeks before the date of his dis
appearance. He had been to the dia-
mond mines in South Africa, and when
here carried about with him $4,000 or
$1,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry.
A woman also French, whom he called
his wife, accompanied him to the city.
He was well educated and dressed like a
gentleman, while she was type of the
French courtesan. Still she seemed
devoted to him, and grieved Hoticeably
over his disappearance. The day he
dropped out of sight he had an agree
ment to dine with her at 4 o'clock, and
when he failed to keep it, she grew
alarmed 1t was next day, however, be-
fore she reported the matter to the
police, when she did everything, appar-
emily, to help the officers trace him.
Not a clue was ever found. A week
later the woman left for Paris, where
she is still supposed to be living. She
gave it out that she thought he had
gone there, and intended to follow him.
She afterwards wrote to a Frenchman,
named Leon, here, asking MIN to go to
the Deserct bank and draw the money
left there by Chazzell, about S2,soo.
Leon attempted to do so, but the bank
officials refused to pay it, and the
deposit Is there yet Besides this, Chaz-
zell had safety deposit box in the Utah
National bank in which he kept his
Jewels. When it was opened after his
disappearance, by order of the court,
only few stones and some pieces of
French money were found. The officers
believed the men who made away with
him got access to the box and nabbed it
of most of its contents.
HOW THE BODY WAS FOUND,
Chicago, March 27.-From the pro-
ceeds of sale of unredeemed freight
the village of Austin last night develop
ed trunk mystery. In zinc box her
metically sealed, two residents of that
place discovered the badly decomPosed
BODY of a man to whose idestity there
is not the slightest clue. The body was
bent and tied with a strong rops, and
half destroyed by chloride of lime and
saltpeter To ascertain who the man
was, where the body came from, who
placed it in the trunk, or what was the
cause of death, the authorities say is an
undertaking greater than they recently
have met, and the solution of the mys-
terry, they assert, is almost hopeless
task.
All that is known is that the remains
were shipped into Chicago, consigned to
G. N. Morgan, 100 Jefferson court.
There is no such street number.

Senator Teller said 81 am not sur

Because the present monetary sys-

eep our manufactured articles out OF
other countries. The manufacturers
will find after little that they can't

the system as it is, and that they will
also be driven out of their own mar

An ideal, but we are assured quite
necessary, state of cleanliness for

the floors shall be dampened and swept
every day, with all the windows open;

to this cleaning, DIR. Adams, who is the
president of the Orange County Medi-
cal societies, New York, believes that
at least every other day the floors
should be thoroughly scrubbed with
soap and water.

reading years of childhood by estab-
fishing for them three reading rooms
where their tastes and their ways are
considered. The libraries are opened
after school hours and closed at nine
in the evening for two days in the

club rooms where the girls and some
times the boys are taught sewing, and
where a cultivated, child loving woman
frequently reads aloud while the chill
dren do their needlework. Sometimes
the best readers among the children
read to the others.
The tendency often observed of trying
to make the pupil fit the school instead
of adapting the educational system t.
