FIXING A MOTIVE.
The Authorities Working Hard on the
Bear Ridge Murder.

Coroner Bleiler, Of FraokvilIe. and the
District Attorneys office are working per
sistently and earnest on the case Of Micha,
Nichols, who died at the Miners hospital
from the effects Of a beating he received in a
shanty Of the boiler house at Bear Ridge col.
liery. MahauOy Plane A date had been
hxed for the inquest, bat there was post.
pouement on the statement that Dr. J. C.
Biddle' of the Miners hospital, could not
attend. IL now appears that the real
cause Of the postponement was new dis.
covery. The authorities have learned that
robbery may be coupled with the murder.
The first theory was that Michael Herlock.
the man in custody, and who worked with
the victim, was jealous Of Nichols because
the latter held superior position at the col
liery. This theory is about abandoned hy
the discovery that Nichols was = very saving
man and had accumulated about 81 900
IN cash. This money, it is said, no
carried in belt on his person and
when at work be was accustomed to hide
the belt in the boiler bouse When Nichols
was found his person was searched for the
money belt without effect and a careful
search Of the boiler house and shanty, as
well as the boarding house Of the deceased
has also been truitless. Herlock, the pris.
oner, still adheres to his tramp story. but the
authorities give no weight to II, in view Of the
iact that the colliery watchman has shown
that he was alert at the time the assault was
committed and four tramps could hardly
have been in the vicinity Of the colliery and
not be discovered by him. The inquest is
being delayed to give the authorities time TO
connect the several links of circumstantial
evidence and have the case well connected
when it is presented to the Coroner's Jury
they hope, in the meantime, to trace the
missing money, or get an important ad
mission that may ultimately result in con
lession and positive fastening of the crime on
the guilty party.

Reform the Poor Houses.

Much matter for serious thought
and for prompt action as well, is
found in the first biennial report of
the missouri state board of charities
and correction. the duty of this
board, established by statute early in
1897, is to examine into thecondition
and management of prisons, iails,
aims houses, retormatories, reform
and industrial schools, hospitals, in
firmaries, dispensaries, orphanages
and all private and pnblic retreats sup
ported III whole or part by taxation.
In the reportjust made the statements
concerning the poor houses of Miss
ouri are OF q shocking nature. These
institutions are found to be penal
rather than charitable dumping
places, the report says for every cOncel-
vablc manner of afiliction. The blind,
insane, deaf and dumb and the de
ceased are mingled with the, aged and
intelligent poor. In one poor house
visited, respectable young woman
had an idiot for a room mate. In
other asvlums persons are kept iii
stockade or chained toa log or stump.
There are in the poor houses of Miss
our 1859 persons who are insane.
A large number of feeble minded are
kept in the poor houses. in one coun-
try an idiotic woman is the mother
of five illegitimate children. One hun
dred and forty two children under tii-
teen years of age in the poor houses
of this state. 1t is known that in lat
err life many children raised i'll such
surroundings become tramps and
criminals. Poor are designed for de
serving pa pers. Their present de-
genercy and abuse is outrageous.
Through efforts of the board making
this carefully verified report over 100
insane persons have been transferred
from poor houses to insane asylums.
1t protests against sending the insane
and idiotic to be herded with the un-
fortunate poor, and recommends

will agree on but few things, therefore

the success of which all other desirable
things must depend"
The NOn-cOnformist platform is:
1.-Direct legislation through the
initiative and referendum.
2.-The right to issue currency must
be taken from the banks and the gov
eminent must issue all money and
make it all equally full legal tender
and abolish the fraudulent practice of
redeeming one kind of money with an
other.
3.-We demand the public owner

Everyone knows that we can estab-
lish no reform without direct legisla-
ton, and any party that makes these

support and that of thousands of 9th

Fusion that sacrifices principle is to
be deprecated, but a majority Of the

ground than to brand everyone who
cannot agree with their extreme no.
