washington, July 27.-The state Depart
ment has received from Governor roster
Of Louisiana a preliminary report upon
the killing of the five Italians at Wycks-
burg. The point of interest ana import
ance Is the governors statement that ne
has been officially advised that three OF
the men were naturalized American citi-
Gems. This statement is directly the re-
verse of the advices that come TO the
state department through the itatan
conslar offices at New Orleans, who sent
agents into the country to secure infor-
nation on this point Governor Foster
records in his report an earnest disposi-
ton on the part of the sheriff OF Madison
county. where the affair occurred TO
bring the perpetrators of the kill;ngn to
Justice and to lay all of the facts before
the grand fury of the county. That body
is not at present IN session. so 1t cannot
undertake to look into the case before
the next term OF court Meanwhile the
shdpin himself promises to make thor
ough inquiry and to report all OF the facts
to the governor through the district at
torney. All of the facts set out in the
report Of Governor Foster have been
communicated to Count Vinchi here and
he will in turn communicate them 10 the
Italian foreign office.

MRS. STREET GONE
Story That the Woman Who
Informed Officer of
HER BROTHERS. CRIME
Is Living in 0puIence in Kan
saS City Hotel

Mrs. Cornelia Street of Shawnee, Okla
homas who wrote the letter to Sheriff
Simmons here, telling him that her
brother. who was going under the name
Of Hill, v1Rs Alexander Jester. and the
murderer OF Gilbert Gates, who disap-
peared in Monroe county, Missouri,
twenty-elght years ago, is said to have
gone away from Shawnee, o. T. She
lived at Shawnee in her brothers house
when she wrote the letter to Sheriff Sim
mons. She and her brother had been
quarreling and Mrs. Street claims that
her brother threatened to throw her out
of the house. AS a matter of self pro-
lection she informed the officers OF his
identity. Jester was arrested at once and
all the wealth of John w. Gates of Chi
cago, brother Of the murdered boy, was
put UP to back up a campaign of re-
venge. All Shawnee was excited. Jester
was an old soldier and a local preacher
His G. A. r. comrades resented every
intimation OF TESTERS guilt. The town
turned against Mrs. Street and a storm
Of indignation swept about her. She
found it very embarrassing and frequ mt
iy threats of vengeance reached her cars
from TESTERS friends.
Jester was taken away in the night on
a special train at cost of 81 800 to the
millionaire avenger.
Mrs. Street. 1t is said, began to fear
her life. One day, the story goes. she
was suddenly missed about the Jester
place, and search of the town failed to
locate her. and further rumor has it that
the rich Gates took Mrs. Street to a
place Of safety. palace OF luxury, COM
pared with her humble Shawnee home.
Where she is nobody seems to know. but
the report IS that she is staying at one
Of the SWEETEST hotels of Kansas City.

How To Di.tinrmish Old Hons.

From an article by a renowned au-
thority on poultry matters i'm Great
Britain. the following is condensed:
Fowls should be killed off after they
have completed their second year
Birds may be marked so as to be
easily distinguished by putting ring
on one leg when they are pullets. The
best time is when pullets are from five
TO six months old.
a round india rubber ball such as
those used for umbrellas, or a ring OF
copper or any soft, flexible metal. is
suitable. The ring should be put on
20 it fairly close, but not tight enough
to irjuTe the leg.
An eXanination should be made OF
every fowl a fortnight after the ring
has been put on.
In order to distinguish between the
fowls one and two years old. it is a
good plan to put the rings on the left
legs only in one year, and the rings on
the right legs only next year. and so
on in the alternate years. If the rings
are put OH the llbIl leSS III 1870, lHtO
all hens in the flock with rings on
their right legs will be ready for kill
ing in 1900. If the rings are put on
the left less in the autumn of 1899.
then hose hens will be ready for kill
ing i'm The autumn of 1901.
II is desirable that written record
should be made of the facts. as the
memory is apt to be faulty.
The advantage to the poultry keepe.
from marking the fowls far more than
compcnsates for the trouble which is
