Woman Murdered by Her BetrAyer. who
Then Kills Himself.


indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 25.-The dead
bodies of Herman Meyers and Nora A..
Richardson were found lying on the
ground in front of a vacant house on
Downey street Tuesday morning. Zach
was lying in pool OF blood and re-
volver was lying close TO the corpse of
Meyers. Two gaping wounds in the
girls back and one Ina her breast told
the story of murder. while hole in
Meyers left temple indicated that he
had killed himself after taking the
girls life. Little Is known OF the
couple. but from letters found on
Meyers body 1t Is apparent that he had
betrayed the girl under promise of mar
riage. All OF the letters begged Meyers
TO make his promise good before her
shame should become known TO the
world" and the letter OF most recent
date threatened him with prosecution
IL he did not speedily make good his
wcrd. II is supposed that they met
Monday night and that the tragedy was
the outcome of quarrel.
Nora Richardson. the victim of Her
man Meyers bullet, was the only
daughter of well-to-do farmer living
about five miles northeast of the city.
How the couple came to be in the dis
tant and lonely part OF the city where
the tragedy occurred is n mystery, the
only explanation being that Meyers
lured her there for the purpose of MUIR
dering her.

Seattle. Wash, Nov. 2l.--Ihe Chinese

Through an interpreter they said that

which time the food supplies gave out

feet deep to a railroad section house.
where they were supplied with three

Owing to the crippled condition Of the
Great Northern, Everett a. Monte

serious food famine in towns In the
Cascades flooded district. In fact, Mr..
Mccarthy. merchant Of Sultan City
who Is now here for the purpose OF pur-
chasing supplies. said that IL has al
ready begun.
A special dispatch from Snohomish
says: The first party Of 200 miners who
left Monte Cristo early this week to
walk out TO the lower town. reached
here Thursday. The reason for this
wholesale exodus of miners Is lack OF
provisions in the mountain stores.
From the reports of the condition of
the Everett a. Monte Cristo railroad, II
Is evident that IL will be three weeks at
least before a train can reach Monte
Cristo. All the big mines at Silverton.
Goat Lake and Monte Cristo. have fol-
lowed the example of the Monte Cristo
Mining company, and sent out men
until the railroad could bring in more
provisions. There are from 800 TO to
400 farmers In the Snohomish valley
who are losers from the flood. Their
losses range from few head Of stock TO
the loss OF their entire personal prop

RATES STILL UNSETTLED,
The Railroad Tariff to Follow
That via the Isthmus
Route.
Another Victory for the Panama
Railroad Company-More Eric.
tion in Prospect.

Although the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company has been forced to comply with
the demand of the Panama Railroad Com
pany to reduce the rates from so cents per
100 pounds to 40 cents on east-bound busi-
ness, all possibility of serious trouble be-
tween the two corporations named has not
been removed.
The new rates on the Panama route go
into effect on the Sth inst. They make
such a difference between the all-rail or
overland route that it is very unlikely the
transcontinental roads will stand idly
by and allow business to leave their roads
to take advantage of the much cheaper
rates via the isthmus.
When the new Panama rate goes into ef-
feet it will mean difference of 81 per ton
to all who ship through freight eastward.
The railroad rate is IS cents per 100 pounds
and the steamship rate will be So. The ex-
isting differential is but So per ton.
But in his demand for 40-cent rate
President Simmons of the Panama Com
pany went further than to ask merely for
such a reduction. He insisted that in case
of any reduction by the transcontinental
railroads, proportionate reduction should
The Southern Pacific Company, control
ling the only overland roads out1of this
City, naturally have the greatest influence
in rate making for eastbound business,
and it will have to take the initiative in
any reductions that may be contemplated.
1t was learned from one of the officials
connected with the freight department of
the Southern Pacific Company that re-
duction would undoubtedly be made to
meet the cut of the Panama-Pacific Mail
com bination, but just when it would be
made he could not tell. General Manager
Stubs is expected home from the East on
Wednesday, and it is thought that the
matter will then be formally taken up.
Had the 60-cent rate via Panama re-
mained in force it was the intention of the
Southern Pacific Company in conjunction
with the other transcontinental lines to
raise rates on other commodities than
those on which an advance was made
shortly after the signing of the latest
Panama-Pacific Mail contract. But this
step of the Panama people has upset all
such calculations.
The Panama people say they are deter
mined to get their full share of through
freight, and shall insist on such a differ
ential, as experience will show, as will
give them the business, and that they pro-
of the Southern Pacific Company or any
of the transcontinental lines.
They even go so far as to intimate that
if c. 2. Huntington's stalking horse, the
Pacific Mail Company, fails to live fairly
and squarely up to the letter and spirit of
the new contract the agreement will be
abrogated and the Panama Railroad Com
pany will again play lone hand on both
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

POETS AND AUTHORS.
They Are to Gather in Force at Mi

They Are to Gather in Force at Mil
waukee Next April.
An impending event of contemporary
interest is the roundup of poets and
authors on March 10 at Milwaukee, under
the auspices of the Milwaukee Ethical So
ciety. Milwaukee has long been almost as
famous for it's poets as for its beer. Ella
Wheeler, formerly the poetess of passion,
now Mrs. Wilcox, came from there, and
Others almost equally famous developed
and remained there and are the basis
through their deliverances of what has
become widely known as the Milwaukee
School of Poetry, says Harper's Weekly.
Ii convention of poets is good thing
there is no better or worthier place to hold
it than Milwaukee.
1t seems, however, to be fairly question
able whether there is true profit in getting
poets together. AS long as they are apart
they can use their own volition about
reading or hearing one another's verse,
but brought face to face and grouped in
punches they cannot very we'll dodge
What makes the prospect more doubtful
is that the poems which are most likely to
be read are unpublished ones. unsold. and
possibly unstable, which threaten to
perish with their beauties unrevealed. All
too many of them are likely to be long
poems. for of course the marke ia bieness of
every poem is in inverse proportion to Its
length. The sort of convention which
would seem most likely to give poets COM
fort and satisfaction should be one where
only limited number of poets would be
let in, and where the bulk OF the at
tendance should be made up of hardy
listeners.
