"a cheerful heart causeth the coun-
tenance to shine" Everyone takes to
CHEEKY people as naturally as flowers
take to sunshine. And when you have
q touch of the blues, as l believe we
all have once in awhile, just let a
chcery neighbor step into the kitchen
when you are doing up the mornings
work, with n heavy heart and woe
begone face, and the very sound of her
voice does you good. She salutes you
with o CHEEKY; Il thought I'd just run
over and see if you were all alive,
dropping into a chair, and for the next
ten minutes she and you have pleasant
chat. She l1indles a ray of cheer in
your dull, heavy heart, and as she hur'
ries away to attend to her home affairs
bidding YOU: "Be sure and come over
in the afternoon and bring your sew
ing with you," the atmosphere is light
er and the dark clouds are lifted. As
you 90 about your work you glance IN
the mirror and notice how different you
look. You feel more cheerful, youi
eyes are brighter. and your whole coun-
tenance has n lively expression.

PROPERTY OWNERS APPEAL.

sEssMENTs ARE HIGHER THAN
SELLING PRICE.
City Council sat last evening at the
mayors Office as a court of appeals,
with the new city assessment before
It. The chief complaints were on the
property assessments. William H.
Rothwell claims that the property of
Mrs. Postles, at Delaware and Front
streets. assessed at $4,000 can be
bought for $4,000, and thinks the as
sessment should be correspondingly
lowered. William II. Terry's block of
houses on Williams street are only
renting for SO a month, it Is claimed,
and therefore a lower assessment is
demanded w. J. Etchells houses,
also, are too high.
Council will continue to hear ap-
peals tonight, but will probably take
no action before next Tuesday even

FEARFUL CRIMES OF A FARMLAND.
Shoots Down -Four People Who BefrIendeo
HIM and Then Robs tho

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, May Z. - What
may yet prove a quadruple murder oc-
Cured at the farm of Alexander Harris
five miles south of Waukesha, early this
morning, the victims being Harris his
wife, hired girl and hired man. The
crime was committed by farmland
named William Pouch, who had been
sheltered by the farmer over night.
Harris was killed outright. Mrs. Harris
may recover. Helen Vesbach was fatally
wounded. Nelson NJ. Holt was probably
fatally wounded.
Pouch arose about 5 o'clock this morn
ing and went to the yard, where Harris
and the hired man were milking the cows.
After pleasantly wishing them good N orn-
ing he drew revolver and shot them.
Then he walked leisurely to the kitchen,
whero he chatted with Mrs. Harris and the
hired girl few minutes He said Har ris
would not be in for a few minutes and
he would partake of his breakfast at once.
The woman waited upon the murd ere r
until he concluded his breakfast. Then
Pouch arose and started toward the door,
but suddenly wheeled around. shot Mrs.
Harrie in the breast, and then fired at the
hired girl. After finishing the bloody
work the murderer robbed the house,
mounted bicycle and rode away. A
posse of farmers are in hot pursuit. They
openly avow they will lynch the m urderer.

GREEK SHIPS BOMBARD.
But the Shells Seem to Have Had
No Effect on the Turkish
Camps at CaSSandra.

ATHENS, GREECE, May The Greek
feet bonn barded the Turkish camps q,
Cassandra on the peninsula of that name
at the entrance to the Gulf of Salonica
yesterday, but the shells from the war
ships had no effect. The feet made no
attempt to land men. The Government
has notified the diplomatists that the
Greek naval squadrons are blockading eff
fectively the Gulf of Salonica and the
coast OF Epirus.
The British. French and Italian Consuls
at Volo have requested their Governments
to instruct warsh hips of those nations now
at Volo to land men to protect the town.
1t is stated positively that if the powers
insist on the evacuation of Crete as con-
dition of mediation Greece will reply she
prefers war of determination.
A dispatch from Canea says that yester-
day Colonel Vassos commanding the
Greek troops in Crete, made request OF
the foreign admirals that the blockade be
relaxed sufficiently to enable him to en-
bark his troops safely-in other words that
an opening be provided tor their exit.
The request was refused by the admirals,
who would only allow Vassos to purchase
food for the men.

MASSACRE IN EPIRUS.
Fearful Outrages Said to Have Been
Committed by the Ottoman
Troops.

LONDON, ENG, Nav The CORE
spondent of the Times at Velestino sum-
ming up the result of the recent fighting
says: 1.-The Turks seem to have driven
back the Greeks along the line extending
from Pharsala eastward to Avail and
turned the flank of the Velestino division
at CynospehaIae. dividing the Greeks into
two masses which retreated to Dhomoko
and Almyro. They will probably rejoin
at Mustapha Bey pass, where the next big
battle should be fought, though am semi
officially informed stand will be made at
Dhomoko. The Turks have reached the
outskirts OF Volo, which at noon to-day
il was rumored had already fallen. This
report is not confirmed. Anyhow it's cap
ture is only a matter of hours the de-
fenses landward being very feeble
The Times Athens dispatch says General
Smolenskis gallant defense of Velestino is
counteracted by the irritation caused by
abandoning PharsaIos, and is regarded as
wiping out the disgrace of Matt and
Larissa. The correspondent declares that,
contrary to other reports, under the influ-
ence of recent defeats the bellicose enthu-
siasm of the Greeks has vanished, and the
desire for peace is general. A part of the
brigade OF General Smolenski went by rail
to Volo, where it took ship for Almyro.
The Chronicles Athens dispatch says
Colonel Manos telegraphs from Arta that
the Turks have begun a wholesale massa-
ere in the interior of Epirus. All the in
habitants of the village OF Kamarina have
been murdered, with the exception OF a
very few who escaped to the noun tains.
Women are arriving in Arta from other
places praying for protection, their hus-
bands and children having been muir
dered by enraged troops.
Many refugees are mad and unable to
speak, while others relate unwrita Bile
horrors. The dispatch adds the Greek

FIENDISH CRIME OF F0OTPADS.
Beat Their Victim Into hsensIbHity, Rob
HIM and Pace HIS Body on an
Electric. Car Track

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 7.-Shortly before
midnight last night four footpads held up
Thomas Brady, landscape gardener. on
the outskirts of the city, robbed him, re-
moved bis shoes and hat, battered his head
with sandbags, laid him across the subur-
ban railway tracks, between Gam DELL place
and Etezell avenue, and left him to be
ground beneath the wheels of an electric
car.
AS the unconscious man lay on the
track with one of the footpads bending
over him arranging his shoes and hat
with the purpose OF making it appear that
Brady had fallen into a drunken sleep, a
suburban car came thunderng down the
grade. The highwaymen fled, but too
late to escape the notice OF Motorman q.
M. West, who vainly tried to stop the car
before the prostrate man was reached.
Brady was dragged beneath the fender
and frightfully mutilated. His right arm
was broken and his left thigh cut open
from hip to knee.
Brady is now at the Baptist Sanitarium,
where his death is momentarily expected.
Motorman West says that he saw two men
on the track rifliag Brady's pockets, who
fed at the approach of the car.

RUSSELL SAGE EXPLAINS.
Denies That He Has Ever Had Any
Serious Friction With George
Could

NEW YORK, N. Y, May Russell
Sage said to-day in regard to his reported
friction with Gould:
'The story is written for sensation. My
relations with Gould are not unfriendly ly
or strained and have not been so. l see
him every day when in the city and dis
cuss with him the affairs of the com panies
in which we have common interests. l
regret the circulation of such rumors be.
cause they are calculated to do great
harm. What l regret most is the possible
effect oil holders of the Pacific securities.
l did about year ago ask Gould to ap-
point committee to examine transactions
involving the construction OF the Louisi-
ana line. Gould has not appoint ted the
committes yet, but promised he would.
The Missouri Pacific is doing well. Treas
urer Calef told me only yesterday that
our finances are in better shape than they
have been for four years. 1 have 81 900, 900
of the company's bonds in safe deposit
vault and never touch them except to cut
off coupons as they come due"
George Gould went to his country place
in the Catskills Wednesday. He will not
return until next week.
