THE Chicago Chronicle says that
Maj. Gen. William X. Shafter has fur
nished fresh illustration of the fact
that before seeking the Endorsement
of prominent man fora movement or
enterprise it 10 we'll to sound the
prominent man in advance. Other
wise the results are likely to be en-
barrassing. The woman suffragists
had an idea that Gen. Shafter might
be favorable to their ideas, and sent
delegation to wait upon him at
Governors island. But what was
their dismay when the Nigh ~ con-
queror of Toral turned red in the face,
attacked woman suffrage root and
branch and intimated that women
might a good deal better be making
their beds and minding their babies
than meddling with politics. OF
course the delegation retired greatly
discomposed, their only consolation
being that Gen. Shafter so wrought
himself mp by his own eloquence that
he succumbed to n chill, and had TO
be put TO bed by his daughter. The
moral of the occurrence, however, is,
as we have said, that when you invite
a public declaration from a distin-
guished citizen tits advisable to throw
out a feeler in advance.

the village of Mishicott. about two miles
northwest of here, Saturday night.
Bahls was killed in his barn and his
wife was slain in their cottage. The
faces of the victims were hacked to
pieces with an axe Robbery is sup
posed to have been the motive. Ernst
Messmann, a laborer who had worked
about the village, and who had been
allowed at times to sleep in the barn,
has been arrested OF suspicion of hav-
ing committed the crime.
Messmann asserts his innocence, but
it is said that b!oCdstains were found
on his clothing, and stories of the time
of his arrival at his cousins place, where
he was arrested, do not agree. United
States bonds to the amount of $1,000.
mortgages amounting to $4,000, and
gold and currency in the sum of nearly
$500 were overlooked by the murderer.

THREE thousand steel workers at
Joliet threatened to strike on account
of n proposed reduction of wages.
Owing to the fact that the election
is close ut hand it is said that the
plans to ''readjust' wages have been
abandoned for the immediate present.
The managers of the mills are colonies
on Gov. Tanners staff. The cuts
will take place after election, and
will be attributed to the triumph of
the democratic ticket. Some politi-
clans assume that the working man
can be always decoyed by false prom
ises, as in 1896.
