Chicago Barber.

Chicago. Feb. 1.-When Mrs. Michael
Malone of 146 Gladys avenue entered the
room of her husband last night and at
tempted to arouse him she was Mortified
to md that his head was almost severed
from his body. The police We're notified
and. after an investigation. reached the
conclusion that a murder had been COM
mitted, but are at a loss for a cause.
Nothing was found to supply a clue TO
the officers.
Malone was IS wears old and up to a
few weeks ago had been employed as a
barber He was not thrifty. and. so far
as is known, was not possessed of enough
wealth TO warrant any one numbering him
for his money. The fact that no knife or
razor was found in the room was taken
as conclusive that Malone had been the
victim of an assassin.

SHORT LINES MOVEMENTS,
The Road Will Do No Building This
Year.

A rumor was set afloat yesterday to
the effect that the Oregon Short Line
is to do some extensive building in
Idaho this year, namely, "a line from
Idaho Falls to st. Anthony and finally
on through to the Yellowstone National
park. This has often been reported as
a possibility, but Vice President and
General Manager Bancroft denies that
there is any foundation for the rumor.
He says it may be looked upon as
project of the far future, but adds that
the Short Line is not likely to do any
building whatever, during the year.

WISE WORDS FROM A GREAT WO-
MAN.-Here is what Helen Gould has
to say anent the seating of Roberts,
the Mormon polygamist. We hope
many Of our readers will act upon her
suggestion about writing to their rep.
resentatives in Congress protesting
against the recognition Of the head
of an oriental harem as one OF the
lawmakers of the land:
II feel that the principle OF polyg'
amy for which Mr.. Roberts stands
strikes at the root OF what is sacred
and beautiful in our home life, and l
am glad to lend what little influence
| may have to oppose it. lam glad to
have an opportunity to protest against
the seating in the House OF Repre-
sentatives of man who advocates
and practices polygamy Our coun-
try has been noted in the past for the
beauty Of it's home life, and the chiv-
airy and respect shown by men to
women. 1t would be sad, indeed, to
see man who stands for the oriental
harem seated among our lawmakers.
earnestly hope that men will feel
willing to write to their Congressman,
urging them to rise in protest against
Mr.. Roberts when the House opens"

CHoCTAws FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH
Probably there is no other class Of
people in the world in this respect like
the Choctaws. They believe Neach
other as a child believes In its mother.
When one Choctaw Indian tells an
other that a certain thing will be
done. it can be depended upon that 1t
will be done. This custom OF turning
prisoner loose without bail com.
menced among the Cloctaws half a
century ago. An Indian murdered his
sister. There was no Jail, and the
Choctaws had no money to hire a
guard. After the Indian judge had
sentenced him to be shot, the former
said: "Now you can 60 until exccu-
tion day; then l watt you to come
without being told. II you fail to
obey it will disgrace your family"
The Indian gave his promise and ap.
peared at the appointed time. Ever
since then it has been the custom To
allow condemned Indians to rpn loose
Never but once has a prisoner failed
to come freely and alone to his execu
tion. The number Of Indians thu
shot within the last half century |
over 100.

WILL IT COME TO THIS.

Judge J. A. p. Campbell, OF Jackson
writing to the Greenwood Common
wealth, gives the following views on
the education Of the negroes, and puts
forth the somewhat startling opinion
that in a short time there will be more
qualified negro voters than whites
In the State. Judge Campbell's views
will be read with interest and are en-
titled to serious consideration. He
says:
81 think the emancipation OF ne
groes a great calamity, especially to
them, and that the attempt to edu.
cate them generally is acruel wrong to
them as well as to the whites, who
bear the enormous expense. doubt
the practcabilty of their disfran-
chisement, while regard their en-
franchisement as a stupopdous crime. ,
l consider them the best people in ~
world in their condition and circ a.
stances, butte totally unfit tol lattici-
pate in the government. think they
should be left in contented ignorance
to perform their God-given mission of
serving their betters in the capacity
for which they are fitted. / have al.
ways opposed their education, because
so far from proving any remedy for
racial differences and prejudices, 1t
only intensifes and aggravates them.
Our Constitutional convention, which
did nothing of real values to exclude
negro votes except to prescribe an ed
ucational qualification, committed
the astounding folly Of enjoining upon
the Legislature the maintenance OF
common schools for negroes as well as
whites, whereby we are annually pre-
pairing probably more negroes than
whites to overleap the feeble barrier
between them and the ballot box, and
in few years, if the interest OF the
negro in politics (which had ceased
' before our Constitutional convention
. should revive, it will be found that
there are more qualified negro voters
in the State Of Mississippi than
: whites, for | assume that the tax pay
ing requirement will he complied
= with, either by the negroes themselves
y. or by the campaign fund whenever
the negro vote shall become impor
tant in national elections. Ihope tht
= next. Legislature will submit al
y amendment abrogating the article o
the Consttuture on "Education," ant
committing the matter of education
y to the Legislation. Then the will o
= the people may prevail"
