AFAMILY WIPED OUT.
Wife and Children Hacked To Death.
Uusbnnd md Fnther Suicides.

NEW YORK. January l7-John Mat
thews. retail grocer, some time between
last Saturday night and this morning
murdered his wife and their two children,
a boy 10 years old and a girl of u, by
hacking them TO death with hatchet.
Matthews then committed suicide by
shooting himself I'm the head. Before
dying II is believed that he turned on
gas in order that asphyxiation might COM
plete his murderous work
The crime was committed I'm small
bedroom I'm the rear of the store kept by
Matthews. The wife and her two children
met death while asleep.
II is supposed that Matthews had be-
come respondent from pecuniary dlincui-
ties. From letters left II was ascertalned
that for some time he had been intending
TO end his own life He had been in the
dry-goods business further up town, and
had failed. \ few months ago he opened
the grocery store, and had met with little
success His wife, a pretty little woman
had recently undergone severe opera
ton. From q letter lef. by Mrs. Mat
thews to a friend. II was gathered that
she was a party TO a suicide agreement.
She wrote as follows: Herman is going
to die. and l am going with him, ana We
are going TO take our darlings with US.
Herman Is supposed 10 mean Mat
thews.
From other letters the impression was
gained that Mrs. Matthews. driven 10
desperation by the serious effect of the
operation which she had undergone. had
even urged Matthews 10 kill his family.
and that from time to time he had put
off the execution Of their plans.
Mrs. Matthews even left instructions
as to the clothes in which the dead chill
dren should be buried. and signihed the
place of interment for the entire family
as Highland. y. Y. where she was born
and lived during her girlho2d.
Matthews was 80 years Old

Whether Denver is to become Ill
the course OF time a beef packing
center-in other words, luark k.
for fat cattle-depends upon
whether it will be found profitable
to feed cattle in Colorado. This,
in turn. depends very largely up
on whether it can be made eco
nomical by low freight rates to
haul corn into this state from
Nebraska and Kansas to supple
ment the use of alfalfa as feed
Alfalfa Is the best rough feed that
can be given cattle, and 1t can be
grown 10 greater advantage here
than in states east OF the Colorado
line. Whether its superiority is
great enough to justify hauling i'll

question Of cattle feeding Ill this
