Child Murderer Carr Tries to
Kill Himself and Fights
of the Doctors.

Liberty. Mo. Nov. ga desperate en-
counter took place in the Clay county Jail,
this city, about o'clock yesterday after
noon between Child Murderer Carr, con-
demned to be hanged on December Il, and
Deputy Sheriff Cave, Officer Wymore and
DR.. Sewer. The officers and physician
had gone into the cell to administer an
emetic to Carr, who, his fellow prisoners
said, had taken poison. Carr refused to
take the medicine. The officers insisted
and finally attempted to hold him while
the doctor forced pellet between his
teeth.
In an instant Carr few into a towering
rage. He seized a chair, swung it over
his head and charged for Deputy Cave.
whom he would undoubtedly have Drained
had not Wymore and DR.. Sewer stepped
between them. Carr is a strong, athletic
man and easily match for any two of
the three men who opposed him. AS to
the other prisoners, of whom there are
now five in the cell, they covered in the
corners and dared not take hand. They
are mortally afraid of Carr.
The fiIicide poised the chair aloft for a
moment and seemed debating whether or
not to bring it down upon the heads of
DR.. Sewer and Officer Wymore. What
ever he may have DONE this hesitation
was fatal to his plans. Deputy Cave, taxi
ing advantage of the dim light in the cell,
and of Carr's diverted attention, crept
around behind him, seized him by the
throat and bore him to the stone floor.
For the next thirty seconds there was a
fierce struggle between Carr and his adj
versaries Carr fought with the despera-
ton of a tiger at bay. He struck with
his fists, bit, scratched and kicked. So
far as he was concerned, it was a hope
less contest, but he struggled seemingly
for no other purpose than to free his
mind temporarily of his impending fate.
Carr became fatigued finally and lay
stretched out on his back on the cell floor.
It seemed that he had given up, but an
attempt to give him hypodermic injec-
ton only renewed his struggles. A coat
was thrown over his head, whereupon
two of the other prisoners in the cell con-
scented to help hold him. 1t was not un-
til he was almost unconscious from being
smOthered and choked. however, that the
dose of medicine could be given.
About 4:3O o'clock in the afternoon Carr
was permitted to meet his wife in the
sheriff $ office. and. while there in charge
of Officer Wymore, Deputy Cave went
down into his cell to deliver some mail.
The other prisoners seemed to be excited
and hastily informed him that Carr had
taken poison. Immediately before he
went upstairs, they said, they had seen
him grind up a small glass phial, pour
the pieces into a cup of water and drink
the potion down at a gulp.

CONGRESSMAN WHIPT.
Arthur NJ. Todd, of Kalamazoo,
Knocked Down for an Al
legged Insult.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 29.-Arthur M.
Todd of Kalamazoo. fusion congress-
man from the Third Michigan district,
is the central figure in an exciting scene
on Michigan Central passenger train
at Decatur.
A prominent and entirely reliable of
fetal who tells the story says that he
noticed Todd in conversation with a
stranger and as the train halted at De-
catur the latter applied a number of
choice epithets to the congressman and
in a loud voice informed him that the
next time he wrote to a married wo-
man he had better select someone be-
sides his wife to address his communi-
cation to.
Todd protested that he knew neither
the excited Individual nor his wife, but
the man emphaticalIy rejected this
stating that the congressman lived
within a short distance from him in
Kalamazoo and knew both we'll He
also informed Todd that he intended to
whip him before, but that when he last
saw him he had been out of the hospital
but three days and was unequal to the
task.
The conversation finally reached a
point where the congressman called his
assailant a liar, whereupon the latter
knocked him down and repeated the
operation when he arose. Todd left the
train at Decatur.

Charges Preferred Against an Assis-
tant q. S. District Attorney in
West Virginia.

Washington, Nov. 29.-There is much
anxiety at the executive mansion and

SURPLUS S43,?,.,119.l2,

These are tie figures that appear ii
overshadow all the others in the Au-
nual Statement of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, published to-day.
There are many other figures in the
statemen, that make a magnificent
showing, but the figures that should be
and arc of paramount interest to all
policy holders are those at the head OF
this article-''Surplus, S43, 1919"
There are plenty of good things in
life assurance, but the foundation-stone
of all is security. A life assurance
contract may not become payable for
many years, and the thought that
should be uppermost in the mind OF an
intending assurer is, "What will be
the ability OF the company when my
contract becomes due, whether it be
tomorrow, Or ten, twenty or even
thirty years from now"
The other figures in, this statement
that also command attention by their
colossal agnitudc are: Assets, $2l6,.
773, 3,9473j; Outstanding Assurance,
S9l5, l02, 90: Annual Income, $45,Oll,
05S.3s: Assurance Written in 1896,
Sl27 ,G94, 0s4; Paid to Policy-holders
during 1896. S2l ,937, 439 45. These fig
ures are made the more remarkable by
the fact that the society has already.
during its thirty.sevcn years of exist.
ence, paid to policy holders an amount
aggregating $25S, ,35l.H.
The statement, altogether, is one
that will be read with interest by ev-
eryone, with pleasure by the policy
holders. and certainly with pride by
those who are responsible for the man
agement OF the society. Mr.. W. B.
Hoffa, Of Grenada, Miss, is the special
agent OF the Equitable.

Several little children are LEFT
motherless by the death of Mrs
Rayburn, the estimab!e wife Of Johr
M. Rayburn, which occurred neal
Grenada Sunday night, February a.
1897. This good wife and mother had
been confined to bed Of sickness for
some weeks, and her death, though not
entirely unexpected, was nevertheless
a great shock to a large circle o1
relatives and friends.
Mrs. Rayburn, formerly Miss Evans,
was native Of this county, where she
has always lived. Her life among this
people has been one of kindness and
we'll doing, and with those who had
the pleasure Of her acquaintance she
was a friend who was highly esteemed

Little Jean Weigert...

This beautiful little girl, just six
years old, aud an unusually bright and
attractive child, has been called to
heaven to join the baby brother who
preceded her only a short week ago.
Little Jean, who is the second child on
Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Weigert, was
taken sick last Friday, the day of
which her little brother, whom she
worshipped, was buried. The best
medical attention and most careful
nursing were of no avail, for the little
sufferer, though apparently better on
the very day OF her death, was seized
with congestion, and despite the heroic
etfJrts Of doctors and fliends breathed
her last on Monday evening, February
Is, 1897, at go o'clock. The funeral
services, conducted by Rev. J. c.
Carothers, pastor Of the Presbyterian
church OF which her parents are MEM
bers and the Sunday school OF which
deceased was an interesting scholar,
were held on Tuesday, and the bright
little spirit was laid to rest by the side
Of her brother.
We can command no language to
soothe Or comfort the distressed
parents in this their hour of double
affiiction. God knows :best, and His
acts must bo unquestioned. We knew
little Jean in life, and have often been
interested and amused at her childish
prattle and remarkable vivacity. She
was general favorite with all who
knew her, and the aching of her
parents hearts is shared in Il measure
by numerous. sympathizing friends.
God has bereft those parents, and He
will comfort them.
The following beautiful thoughts on
the above.noted dispensation OF provi-
dence have been handed in to the
SENTINEL and dedicated to Mr.. and
Mrs. Weigcrt:
Why do they come, these little ones that
enter our homes by the gateway Of suffering,
and that linger with US u few years. yet
speaking eloquently all the time OF the
purity and sweetness Of heaven? Why must
they open the tenderest fountains of our
nature. only to leave them so soon chokcd
with the bitter tears OF lossf 1t is i'm
possible wholly to answer such questions VI
the tortured heart. but one can say in
general that these little temporary wander
ers from celestial home come and 90 be-
cause OF the great love Of God. 1t Is an
inestimabe blessing to have been the
parents OF children that have the stamp Of
heaven upon their brows: To hold in ones
arms. to minister to them, to gaze fontly
down into the little up,urned faces. and to
rejoice in the unsulied beauty of their
smiles, and then-to give them back to God
rs upon earth they are still our own chill
dren. members of the household still. to be
counted always as the children whom God
hath given US. Such love chastens and
sanctifes the hearts OF the father and
mother, carries them out beyond time and
sense, and gives them hold upon the UNI
seen. A. things Of great value always cost,
IT Is worth all the sorrow 10 have known
this holy affection and to have these
treasures in heaven. MOTHER.
