JAPANESE CASUALTY LIST.

Cowardly as the most craven and
cruel as the most conscienceiess were
fare upon the Chinese at Kahuku plan
tation on Sunday afternoon last. The
Japanese were brutal and unfeeling as
the widest beasts.
If the Filipinos at any time were en-
titled to sympathy. IL at any time the
Cubans were to be commiserated, IL
the outrages inflicted upon the Ar
menians by the Turks send n cry TO
Heaven; IL these humane thoughts be
worthy then those Kahuku Chinese who
were the victims Of Japanese ferocity
who believe that any man OF any mark
OF the human scale has the slightest
right OF person and property.
Just two OF the Kahuku labor camps
were involved in the mob work. One
is OF japanese. The other Is of CHA
ese. The quarters are about 200 yards
apart and about zoo yards from the
mill. The Japanese occupy several
long. low buildings. The Chinese are
in two buildings. One is large. single
story structure. The other Is tall
building of great size. formerly n
freight house OF the railway. II was
in this larger building that all OF the
Chinese were Sunday afternoon. The
dodgers of the other house. being day
men, were in the fields. The Chinese
who have the old building are signed
or shipped men.
The great building. in which the
lbloody assault took place. has running
it's entire length n wide hallway. On
both sides OF this broad corridor are
rooms with hunks. Upstairs Is another
hallway with rooms and hunks on both
sides.
1t was about the middle OF the after
noon OF Sunday that evil spirits seizet
the Japanese and caused them to fal
upon the defenseless Chinese. Their,

building. They were wholly unsuspect

ENGINEER KILLS HIS WIFE
orased by Grip He is Suddenly Seized with
Mania for Murder.
DOES NOT APPRECIATE WHAT HE HAS DONE
After Committing the Act He Calmly
Goes to NciEhbor'S House and
Informs Thcm-Brothcr EpRi-
neers Now watching Him.

PERRY, Ia, Feb. 20.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Frank A. Liddle, a passenger
, engineer on the Milwaukee, at 10 o'clock
today assaulted and fatally injured his
wife with a small cleaver without
warning he buried the cleaver in her head
and then went to neighbor's house and
told what he had done.
Liddle is one of the oldest passenger en-
gineers on the Milwaukee system and for
many years has pulled the flyer between
Perry and Omaha. He Is large man Of
the most genial makeup. and until few
days ago was in perfect health. He had
suffered from a slight attack of the grip, and
after taking his run again 1t was noticed
that he was not right, and was taken OFF
and for a few days confined in a private
hospital in Des Moines. He had been con-
fined to his home here for several days
with his brother to look after him. He
had not shown any signs of violence, and
his awful act today was wholly unlocked
for. Mrs. Liddle was an accomplished
woman and devoted to her husband and
her tragic death and Mr.. Liddle's loss of
mind casts a great gloom over the city.
There is question about 1t being the
work of an insane mind. Both Mr.. and
Ms. Liddle were possessed OF large means
and we're among the most popular people Of
this city. Mr. Liddle does not talk much of
his act and does not realize what ne has
done. His fellow engineers have him in
charge.
Mrs Liddle is still alive, having revived
after the surgeons lifted several pieces Of
skull from her brain, although there seems
to be no possible chance for her to recover.
She was struck on top of the head four or
Ave times. Sheriff Payne has arrested and
will take the insane man to the asylum. 1t
has developed that for three weeks he has
begged to be taken to the asylum, himself
fearing that he would harm his wife or chill
dren, but his wife had insisted that he be
kept at home.

Iowa Editorial Opinions.

Sidney Sun: Senator Gear is sometimes
spoken of as an old man. We think on
comparison with many of his associates in
the senate this point will furnish 40 bar
to his efficiency as senator. We think the
majority of the people want him reelected
as United States senator from Iowa.
Atlantic Telegraph Nebraska is now hav-
ing a good sized scandal growing out Of the
action OF her popocratic auditor who is ac-
cused of holding up the insurance com
panies their examinations. The Omaha
Bee is showing him up ia good shape and
the legislature has ordered an investigation
and the end is not yet.
Waterloo Reporter: Hon. F.. A. Dawson
of Waverly will be a candidate for renom-
nation to the office of railroad commlss ioner.
The Reporter hopes 10 see Mr.. Dawson
made the nominee by the next republican
state convention. He has filled the position
very acceptably, bringing great ability and
untring energy to the performance CT the
duties. He deserves a denomination. and
northeastern Iowa hopes he will have no
opposition for the place.
Keokuk Gate City: The executive council
of the state is preparing to comply with
the provisiou of the law enacted by the last
legislature requiring publication annually of
an itemized list of state expenditures. This
will be done by departments and Offices and
by items and dates. The idea OF making
Is an excellent one similar plan has
been pursued here in Keokuk with reference
TO city expenditures with good results. The
greater the publicity in such matters the
greater the likelihood of care in making
appropriations and allowing expense ac-
counts.
Ottumwa Courier: The Couriers figures
Of yesterday showing the total deposits of
the people Of Ottumwa and neighborhood N
the local banks were a revelation to great
many. The deposits amount to S1,955, 700.
This alone Is indication of the healthy
condition of the peoples finances hereabouts,
but the gratifying feature Of the figures is
in the increase Of 1853, 200 in deposits for the
last year. The figures do not include those

MASON CITY, Ia, Feb. 2O-(Special
Telegram. )-Charles Talberd was placed un-
der arrest today, charged with being an
accessory TO the murder of James Allison.
l.. Il. Bone, who is said to have done the
stabbing, was arraigned for preliminary
hearing but the case was continued until
Wednesday. An old feud which is said TO
have existed between the families in Logan
county, Illinois, caused the trouble 1t was
renewed here over a difficulty regarding a
horse Bones father arrived here today and
has already engaged attorneys to defend his
son. 1t is probable that the plea will be
self-defense.
Assistant States Attorney Hern closed his
address ia the Hughes murder case at 10
O'Clock today. Ex-senator Glass opened for
the defendant. He was followed by ]. H.
Conlogue, and Judge Cliggitt win close the

structons to the jury. They will cover the

1t was learned today that the coffee

poison administered to Anderson and his
wife was not made from that which was

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The inquest into
the death of Mrs. Kate j. Adams. who died
on December 90 from the effects Of poison
which she received from the hands OF Harry
S. Cornish, was resumed today
District Attorney Gardiner said today
that he did not believe the inquest would
be concluded this week. He expressed the
belief that as a result of the inquest an
Indictment would be found by the grand
jury. Public interest has not lesscned in
the inquest. The corridors of the coroners s
office were crowded with persons anxious
to obtain admission to the court room. and
all the available seats in the court were
filled by 10 o'clock. For the first time since
the inquiry opened there were several
women among the spectators.
Harry A. King stock broker, was the
first witness today. He was the first per-
son to whom Cornish showed the poison
bottle and holder.
Mr.. King said he was a member of the
Knickerbocker Athletic club. On Saturday,
December "a, at the club Cornish showed
witness the bottle of bromo- seltzer and
holder and said something about it being a
Christmas present. Witness said: ~
have a slight headache, and think I'll take
some"
Cornish pushed the bottle and holder to-
cooler. There was glass there and no
water in the cooler so he returned the bot
tie and holder to Cornish's desk saying:
81 do not think I'll bother with it." Mr..
King said he talked about the case with
Cornish in Mr.. Yocum's room at the club
On the night of Mrs. Adams death. Cornish
was very sick.
DR.. Henry Douglass, who attended II. G.
Barnet in his last Illness, was the next
witness. DR.. Douglass told how he had
diagnosed Barnet's case as one of diphthe-
ria. Barnet improved under treatment. but
later the witness discovered evidences of
mercurial poison ] asked Barnet about this
and he told me that he took some kutnow
powder, which gave him sore throat and
put his stomach out of order. He said he
had received it through the mail. | found
the box of kutnow powder and took it to
chemist, who told me that it must be cyanide
of mercury. l went back to Barnet's room
and told him that the powder contained
cyanide of mercury. He told me to keep
the box and that he would attend to it
when he got we'll looked for the wrapper
upon which the directions had been written
and l found that the bottle had been
wrapped, but could not find the wrapper
During Barnet's illness he persstently re-
fused to carry out my instructions, over-ex-
erting himself physically. Thirty-sx hours
before he died he showed marked evidences
of heart failure. DR.. Douglass said that
Barnet was suffering from stomachitis, which
rendered him more likely to die from mild
diphtheria than If he had not been so af-
ficted.
