Then, not willing to take any chances,
he burned the remains in red-hOt stove,
and finally buried the bones on the prairie
near his home. The accused has been
much cOmpllmented for the thorough
and painstaking way IN which he facili-
tated his wife's departure from this vale
OF tears. lie was determined to see her
through. even at the cost Of great labor
and some expense. True, a portion Of n
lung and some calico remnants were found
under his barn, but Becker Indignantly
repudiates the charge that these are parts
Of the late lamented.
Now, anybody who reads this trIc story
OF progressive but wicked Chicago viii az
once draw several conclusions. First,
nearly every man viii praise the prisoner
for his modus operandi, which indicates,
i'm small way how that lady must have
aggravated him.
For my part, | think Becker has been
unduly lauded While his work showed
great finesse and his technique as a sau-
sage-maker was unsurpassed, 1t appears
to me that he subjected himself to a
great deal Of unnecessary trouble. Why
praise man for superhuous energy and
use of the Ratchet was all that was re-
CURED why fritter away ones idle mo-
ments in useless achievements when the
grass I'm the front yard needs cutting or
the baby demands to be amused?
The women throughout the country have
also commented in severe terms on this
celebrated case. They censure the de-
ceased severely because she did not get
the Ratchet first. As Mrs Becker Is now
a.. 4
ment on her faults and shortcomings, but
in reviewing the matter il does appear 70
me that the whole affair could nave Decn
arranged much better.

ROME, Feb. 29.-The Pope had a
fatiguing day yesterday receiving
congratulations on the approaching
anniversary of his coronation and
complained of the cold, which has
been intense for two days. DR.. lap
poni found some fever and ordered
the patient to remain in bed and
take complete rest. The ply sician
has since visited the Pope three
times. 1t is almost certain that the
pontifical reception fixed for March
I'd and Sd will be countermanded.
DR.. Lapponi will sleep at the
Vatican tonight. He declines to
give ont any statement. DR.. MAJ
zoni has also visited the Pope pro-
fessionally during the day. Callers
at the Vatican have found every
thing in the usual condition there,
and all inquiries were met with the
denial that the Pope's indisposition
Is serious.
His Holiness rose this morning at
IL o'clock, but DIR. Lapponi insisted
on his returning to bed, as he was
suffering from fever following gen.
eral chill, with pains in the lumbar
region.
