A Bad Love Case.

A young man named Cyrus Taylor,
who has been living with VIM. Foley
In Valley township, since being mus
tered out Of Company q, Twenty-Grst
Kansas Volunteers Of which be was a
member, fell deeply In love with q
neighbours daughter, Helen Dealey,
daughter Of M. A. Dealey. 1t appears
that his oYertures were not reclpro-
Gated, ut least not to the extent he
wished, and he became seized OF pas
sion to kill her and then kill himself.
He secured o loaded Winchester FRI
day morning and started to Mr.. Dea'
ley's house. His movements were no
ticed by Mr.. Foley who commenced a
race to beat him there. When y0uLg
Taylor arrived he was met by Mr.. Fo-
ley and with some assistance the rife
was taken away from him, and he was
taken back to Mr.. Foley's. That night
with great haste Mr. Foley drove to
town with The unconscious form Of
Taylor who had taken morphine. Drs.
Brown and Stewart succeeded In re-
storing him, but 1t was considered un-
safe 10 leave him at large, and was
brought before Judge Stewart, SatuT-
day and tried by jury to determine
his sanity. He freely confessed his In.
tention to kill Miss Dealev and then
kill b ,nself; said he did not want to
live, and admitted he might be partly
insane. He also said when he was in
the army he did not like Captain
Thompson, and had threatened to
kill him IL the regiment ever got into
action. Before taking morphine he
wrote four letters and gave to Mr.. Foley
to mail They were produced in the
trial and read by the jury. One was
to John Dealy and was as follows: ?
"Thank you for your hslp and infOr-
nation, CYRUs.n
Another letter to George w. Taylor,
Hutchinson, read:
"Long before this reaches you shall
be dead. CYRUS TAYLOR.
A letter addressed to Thomas and
Will Foley was as follows:

parties came TO their deaths by

some blunt instrument, or both, had
and held In the hands Of John A Moore
father Of said children, the said John
A, Moore striking and stabblng ~
aforesaid, said children and each OF
them above named, felOniOuslY did kill
and murder"
SCATTERING COMMENTS.
The children are said, by their teach
ere and those who knew them, TO have
been bright, pretty children, clean,
neat and tidy.
Dispatches from Emporia, where
Moore formerly lived, say he had Ibeen
u tenant farmer there for years and
had the name Of being an Indus
triouS man who attended TO his own
business.
While II WAS not brought out 10 evil
dence at the coroner's inquest, there 10
plenty Of evidence to show that o
wagon cover underneath the straw
tick on which the children were sleep
ing, remains unburned and was satur-
ated with blood.
Moore had $40 90 on his person which
the officers secured and gave TO his wife
Feeling on the streets the night after
the coroner's jury returned It's verdict,
ran very high and Moore was taken TO
Mcpherson and placed In jail for fear
of mob violence. Reno county has
never had an exhibition Of thiS kind,
and for our good name 1t 10 to be
hoped no such thing will be attempted.
Money was raised by popular sub
scriptlon for the burial expenses of the
children. The bodies were taken d.
rectly from the undertaking establish
ment to the cemetery, No services
we're held except at the grave which
we're conducted by DR.. Hall Quite
concourse followed the remains to the
grave.
The Ratchet with which the skulls
we're evidently crushed was found by
the officers Tuesday who were search
ing the premises. 1t was lying not far
from the bed where the children slept
and was covered with blood. A bread
knife with which the throat wounds
might have been made was found In
the room but 1t was badly burnt.
The mother 1t seems refuses to ac-
cept the positive evidence aglnst her
husband although her folks have all
finally given up the theory of defense.

buy their nursery stock when they can
get everything in that line home grown

Secretary VIII Urge Completion of Ships
Now Under Contract.
New YORK, Oct. GA special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long will make recon-
mendation for but limited increase of
the new navy in his forthcoming an
nual report. 1t is his purpose to spe-
cially devote his pen to the adjustment
Of the limit of cost now placed upon
armor plate purchased by the govern
ment and to ask for sufficient appropri-
ations to enable the government to pro-
cure Krupp armor for battleships of the
Maine class and the projected battle
ship and armored cruisers. s-'. -
It can be stated that he will certainly
not recommend the authorization Of
more than three protected cruisers of
the Olympia class, and he may deter
mine to recommend in their place that
congress authorize several small
sheathed cruisers and gunboats capable
of doing effective work in the Philip
pines. '--.-

AMERICAN RAILWAY UNION.

1t May Be Revived Under Direction of
Eugene v. Debs.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 26.-The
American Railway union may be re-
vived. The organization virtually ex-
PRED in 1894, at the close of the great
est strike in its history. A delegation
of railway brotherhood men and labor
leaders met with Eugene v. Debs be-
fore he left for the West on his lectur-
ing tour and he promised to consider
the matter and give them his answer
on his return to his home in this city.
The reason for the proposed reorganiza-
ton is lack of harmony which exists
between the railway unions and which
the railroads are said to be taking ad-
vantage of. It is believed here that
Debs will undertake the work.

BOERS ARE VERY FIT.

Testimony of London Correspondent
Who Was Captured. n
New YORK, Oct. 26.-A dispatch to
The Herald from London says: The
London Standards special correspon-
dent with the forces at Ladysmith, who
was captured by the Beers and released
at the battle of Elandslaagte, in de-.
scribing his experiences, says:
''Unsoldierly as the Beers might
seem. there was no installing thei1
physical fitness. Nearly all of them
are strong, powerfully built men, while
a few are veritable giants. b.
"They are all in the highest spirits,
for instance, on the night of our cap
ture our field cornet was induced to
preside over an impromptu smoking
concert. It was amusing to see "a Jo.
hannesburger playing the piano with
his gun still slung over his shoulder,
while his more rustic comrades stood
around spellbound. They sang s1Trans,
vaal Volkslied" with immense fervor
The one subject of their talk was
their resolute determination to FIGHT to
the last for the independence of their
