LOOKS LIKE A LOVERS QUARREL
Double Tragedy In the: Early Horn
ing Hours In Denver.

Denver. Col. Aug. "a double tragedy
that seems to hav been due to a lovers
quarrel occurred in the early hours this
morning near River Front Park. At 1:3O
o'clock people living in the neIghborhood
OF thirty-second and Clear Creek avenues
heard faint calls for help. Investigation
disclosed George Bond in the street with a
bullet wounds in his breast. Bond denies
having killed his sweetheart and says
that some one unknown to him shot them
both. Appearances indicate that the
wounds were not inflicted by a person
standing at any distance, for the cloth
ing of Miss McConkey was burned with
the fire Of the revolver and the shirt on
Bonds breast was scorched.

nor in possession of, a con.
viction or moral principle.
1t has abandoned every issue
which brought it into life
save the greed for Office, and
it now seeks by having its
platform of treason adopted
by the people of this county
to bring the fair name and
fame of Sedgwick county into
disrepute and to disgrace the
name of the gallant soldier
which it bears.
We are opposed to aggre-
gated capital, whether organ
lied in the form of trusts,
corporations or otherwise for
the purpose of controlling
the industrial affairs of the
people, and we demand of
our party in this state and in
the nation such legislation
which will-at all times be for
the best interests of all the
people. That it is our con-
viction that every great ques-
ton in which the people of
this country have been inter
ested has been in the past
and will be in the future,
settled in the interest of the
people, by that genius of
justice and right which pre-
walls in and which brought
the Republican party into
existence; that it has the
ability and integrity to prop
erly settle and adjust the
relations of capital and labor
in the interest of the people.

WINDS DO CONSIDERABLE DAM
AGE TO RIVER PROPERTY
FLOOD STAGE ON AT POINTS
SOUTH-BIG STAGE AT HUNT
INGTON-LOCAL NEWS.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 5.-The heavy
rainfall in this vicinity Saturday night
and Sunday morning caused the rivers
to rise at the unusual rate of six inches
per hour, and the present indications
are that the rise will not suDside before
Monday night. There is higher water
on the Monongahela at the present time
than in many months. Even the thaw
following the recent cold snap and
freeze did not bring the water up to the
present stage.
At 10 p. m. the Ohio river at Davis
Island dam shows 1872 feet and still
rising at the rate of from four to six
inches an hour. River men think IL
feet will be the maximum, and il this
proves true, Pittsburg and Allegheny
will escape a flood stage, low lands and
cellars being the only sufferers.
Reports from the heavy wind storm
of Saturday night show considerable

damage to river property. In the sec
ond pool of the Monongahela river
shortly after midnight Saturday, four
coal lows were wrecked, with a total
loss of the cargoes, and this morning
the steamer D. T. Watson capsized the
transfer fiat of the Pittsburg and
Western railroad with five cars of coke
on board, sinking them near the Allie
gheny side Of the Sixteenth street
bridge.
The aggregate value of the boats and
contents lost is about $4,000, with a
bare chance that some of the coal can
be raised.
The wind continued throughout the
night and all day to-day, except at
short intervals when it died away, only
To raise again. Rivermen found it ut
terly impossible to navigate with lows
safely, and all. of the boats were tied
UP in the various pools and at the land
ings, while at all of the floats and big
landings extra forces of men and the
steam siphons and pumps were kept
going all the time to prevent the boats
and barges from sinking at their moor
ings.

a MUSICAL TREAT.



A Song Recital After Evening Services At
st. Matthew's Church.
At the conclusion of the services at
St. Matthews P. E. Church last even
ing, a musical treat was provided for
a large and appreciative audience, by
Mr.. Frances Walker, of New York.
Many persons from other churches
dropped in on their way home from
evening services, and the edifice was
we'll filled.
Mr. Walker sang Lord God of
Abraham" from Elijah; Thus Saith
the Lord" from Holy City; 20, God
Have Mercy" from st. Paul; why do
the Nations SO Furiously Rage" from
the Messiah; and Creations Hymn"
from Beethoven. Mr.. Walker possess
es a full baritone voice, very flexible,
and under wonderful cultivation and
control. Paris R. Myers accompanied
him, but the rafting of the organ was
slightly annoying to the audience, and
evidently to the singer.
Mr.. Walkers home is in New York.
He is now engaged in song recital and
oratorio work, and is touring the coun-
try. He conducts a summer school for
the voice in Florence, Italy. He has
had the advantage of eight years study
abroad, and has spent the last three
wears in America, where he has taken

AN EISTEDDF0D
Will Be Held in Wheeling in the
Latter Part Of May-The Compe-
titiops Will Be " holly in Music.

An "Eisteddfod" will be held in this
city in the latter part of May under
the auspices OF the Wheeling and Mar
tinsburg Glee Club. Eisteddfod is a
Welsh word, and means competition.
For years and years national Eistedd-
fod has been held annually
in the principal cities of
Great Britain in turn. Since 'SS
it has been held in the Crystal Palace
London. In Great Britain the competi-
tons are not limited to music, but are
given over to all arts imaginable. The
Eisteddfod has been held in a number
of cities in this country recently, but it
has never been undertaken in Wheel
ing before. The undertaking will be
one of no small magnitude.
The plans for the affair have not been
as yet fully settled upon. The
day and date are to be
set. The advancers of the
project are working hard to have
dill dIIduSeLHeutS COuIpleleu DIS SOUu dS
possible. Already number of entries
for the choir competition have been re-
ceived. They come from choirs in
