To Whom 1t May Concern,

We, the undersigned, wish the
public to know that the church is
in no wise to blame for Our recent
troubles. Rev. Mitchell has done
all that christian minister could
do to make harmony in our home.
He has counseled, advised End
prayed with MS and for us. and
now to relieve the public mind, we
wish publicly to announce our
withdrawal from the church. This
step doubtless should have been
taken sooner, but under the ex-

Acting Was Too Real

During some private theatricals at the
Saxon court recently, Crown Princess
Frederick took the part Of a maid serv-
ant. The extreme realistic way in
which she portrayed vulgar young
woman moistening and polishing q
leather shoe brought her a reproof from
the king himself, who said: I'VE are
among ourselves, it is true; but even
then a royal princess ought not to play

Man Causes the Flood

Men have nothing to do with cloud
bursts, tidal waves, earthquakes, volca-
noes and cyclones. This. machinery of
nature ie at present beyond our power.
But men have much to Go with this
Mississippi flood that now makes life III
the Southwest anxious. The river is no
longer river of nature. The greed of
man has meddled with it, am acquaint-
ed with the feeders of the great river
know what the lum herman has done in
Northern Wisconsin and all along down
in the valley. The trees have been
Slaughtered on both sides Of the rivers
and creeks. And that let's the sun in.
One result is that spring rains are dried
up in summer, and all the creeks become
sand creeks, and there is drouth in July
The lumberman cuts away the trees and
trims them Of their branches. What is
left is called stumpage. The brush in
the second summer is excellent kindling
for the dry stumps. Some hunter builde'
fire and cooks his dinner, and in day
or two there are miles of fire. There is
enough Of dead dry fuel to burn the liv-
ing and the green. have been through

the snow melts in the spring, there are

detain the water 1t goes swift to the
river. Once it fingered all summer on it's
way and contributed as it went along,
and gave the river day after day what it
expected and what it was prepared for.
Now the st. Croix, the Minnesota, the
Wisconsin, "and Others" do the natural
work of all spring and all summer in
short month. The Mississippi is much
surprised.
There used to be big marshes in Iowa,
Illinois and Indiana, s'torehouses Of wa
ter held back by flags and boge and cane.
But these are now all drained; the whole
country is sub-tiled. The great river is
for a few weeks greatly overworked. 1t

to do well in a year-Myron Reed in To-

THE LILY's DIVORCE
Is Good for Nothing Under English
Law

LONDON, May 17.-Edward Langtry
IS quoted here today as saying that the
information which he has received OF the
decree of divorce to his wife, the actress,
Lily Larfgtry, by a California court, is
that which has appeared in the news
dispatches. He ridicules the power Of
the California court and says: Mrs
Langtry cannot remarry without COM
mitting bigamy, and IL she does so and
comes to England it will be within the
power of the public prosecutor to indict
her. I myself would not contemplate
such step, but she might. I canno.
conceive what the woman means. As
for the charge of desertion, upon which
the decree Is said to be based, the only
desertion have been guilty of was in
1881, when was packed off to America
on some business which kept me dodg-
ing about Chicago and New York.
have been kind and fair to her all along,
commencing with the marriage settle
ment. which Isl still good, whereby
wiMed her my property in Ireland"
When Mr.. Langtry was asked IL there
was any one Mrs. Langtry was likely to
marry, and said significantly: Eyes, but
I do not intend to take any action what
ever in regard to a decree. I treat 1t
with the same contempt as did the

Lost Her Jewels While Wheeling

While bicycle riding with her husband
Sunday afternoon, Mrs. w. s. Jones lost
chamois-skin bag containing four dia-
mond rings valued at $400. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones left their home early in the after
noon, and rode through Lincoln park
and north on Sheridan drive 1t has
been Mrs. Jones' custom to carry her
diamonds in the chamois bag, suspended
from a ribbon around her neck.
She took them out to show them to q
friend, and in her haste placed them ii.
sealskin bag attached to her belt by a
chain, instead of returning them to their
place of safety.
When she was near home she discoy-
cred that the sealskin bag and its con-
tents were missing.
The jewelry consisted of one solitaire
diamond ring valued at $3.50; one ring
with ruby and diamond setting, valued
at $3.50; one ring set with five small dia-
monds, vauled at $50; one small solitaire
diamond ring, valued at $50
Mr.. Jones said that he did not believe
the jewelry had been stolen. but that
the chain holding the bag had in some
way become detached, allowing the bag
to drop to the street.-Chicago Tribune.

NOT SUICIDE
A Chicago Sausage Maker Charged
With Uxorcide

CHICAGO, May 17.-Adolph L. Luet-
CERT, a well known sausage manufac-
turer. was arrested this afternoon on the
charge Of having murdered his wife.
Luetgert made an assignment about ten
days ago and about the same time Mrs.
Luetgert disappeared. It was at first
supposed she had committed suicide as
a result Of her husbands failure. The
river was dragged, but with no result,
and for several days detectives have
been working on the murder theory.
The police claim to have direct evidence
that Luetgert killed his wife in the base
ment Of his sausage factory. 1t is said
by persons connected with the case that
the dead body was placed in a vat ard
burned by the use of chemicals. 1t is
said that several bones are all that have
been found and that these were taken
from the vicinity Of the vat. Two finger
rings belonging to the woman were
found in the vat.

THE WOOTTON MURDER
PROMISES TO CAUSE FURTHER
SENSATIONS
Bcnes Found Which Are Believed by
Some to Be Those Of the
Murdered Rancher

FRESNO, May 17.-It has been known
for a few days that sensation was
brewing in the Sander-Wootton case,
but the indications today are that 1t
Is exploded. The facts have been 60
carefully guarded by the officers that
but few of them are known, but this
much has been ascertained by a repre-
sentative OF the Associated Press:
A pile of bones, a dozen or more in
number, are lying in the district attor-
ney's office, and suspicion is, or has been,
entertained that they are a portion of
the skeleton. Of William Wootton, the
aged rancher who mysteriously disap-
peared and Is believed to have been mur-
dered by Prof Sanders.
The bones, were found a few days ago
on a place about a mile north of the
Sanders ranch. They were unearthed
at depth Of about az feet by a man
who was digging cesspool- They were
at the roots of tree near a house that
was unoccupied at the time of Wootto,'s 8
disappearance. With them are founo a
small tin can and the bar of a gold
watch chain.
On Saturday the district attorney and
deputy sheriff wellt to the scene of
the discovery and secured the find which
was thought to warrant the suspicion
that the solution of the dark mystery
had been found. Today. however, that
theory got setback. DR.. A. ]. Pedlar
gave the bones brief examination, and
while their decayed condition and a
cursory examination would not warrant
a positive opinion, he expressed the be-
lief that they are not the bones of q
human being. One strange feature Of
the matter is that only a few bones
could be found. which was supposed to
indicate that some powerful acid hAd
been used to destroy the body
A full investigation Of the matter will
be anxiously awaited.

Desire to Dip Into the Big
Estate


SAN FRANCISCO, May 17-Prior to
the taking of testimony in the Angus
Craven caee today Judge Black heard
the application of Attorneys McEner-
ney and Pierron & Mitchell for further
allowance for counsel fees as attorneys
for the executors of the estate of the
late Senator James G. Fair. Before the
admission of the will of September 81,
1894. to probate they received $79625 as
attorneys for the special administrators
and Of the $4,000 Get aside by the terme
of the will for legal fees they have re-
ceived $4,000, but they maintain that
this was not to be considered in the
granting of other fees.
George A. Knight, on behalf Of Charles
L. Fair, opposed the application, and the
court intimated that the second sum re-
ceived by the attorneys would be consid-
cred.
Most of the days session was con-
sumed by counsel in arguing technical
tiles which arose during the trial; but
number OF expert witnesses were ex-
amined. Theodore Kytka identified sew
eral contact proofs of the pencil will
which was admitted in evidence on FRI
day last, and local photographers iden-
titled proof negatives of letter pur-
porting to have been written by Fair to
