STORY TOLD BY A DOCKET
Old Mans Matrimonial Adventures
Bring hIm to Poverty.

DING MN 10 Poverty.
Nevada, Mo-, May 4-The circuit
court docket, in the brief formal
statement of some cases, now and
then reveals some sad chapters.
Here is one: Charles Ford VS.. NJ.
G. Ford, divorce; application by
plaintiff to sue as a peor person
The plaintiff in this case is Judge
Charley Ford of Metz township. He
has long been and still one of Yer
non countys most worthy and re-
spected citizens, and until recently
was considered one of the wsalthiest
farmers in the county
He owned many broad and fertile
acres, we'll stocked, and his check
was good for thousands. Sons years
ago he consoled his declining years
with a second wife, agreeing to give
her 100 acres of his land to marry
him. By mistake he decided her 40
acres instead of 100, and when he
sought to rectify the mistake his
newly acquired spouse objected. The
result was domestic disturbances
and final resort TO the courts.
Then came a suit for divorce, and
the Judge, thinking he had secured
divorce. essayed a third trip on
seas matrimonial After the third
marriage ceremony had been pro
nounced the Judge who had given
him divorce from his second wife
annulled the decrease that he found
himself in the position Of having two
wives on his hands, and yet fated to
be happy with neither.
The suit for divorce from wife
No. 2 is the result, with the sad ex
perience that the old gentleman is
compelled to AK the court to sue az
a poor person.

Eayors a Whipping Post,

Albany, n. Y, May 4.-Governor
Roosevelt today denied the applica-
ton for pardon for Henry Hendrix
who is serving life sentence in Au'
burn prison for the killing Of his
wife, whom he shot to death because
of his mad infatuation for another
woman. Hendrix, who is so years
old, has served twenty-five years OF
his sentence.
From the remarks made by the
governor, wife murderers, wife beat
els and those who cruelty treat chill
dren and dumb animals, will receive
no mercy at his hands upon applica-
tons for pardons or communications
of sentences. The governor is a
strong advocate of the establishment
of whipping post, for such as these
and says if such bill is introduced
in the Legislature next year, he will
sign it.

STRONG EVIDENCE
OF TRIPLE MURDER.
Woman's Scalp and Ear and
Blood-Stained Clothing of
Two Babies Found.
DISCOVERED IN BEAR CREEK.
Sheriff al KirksviIe Called the Roll of Fami-
lies for two Miles About.

Sheriff al Krksvlle Called the Roll of Fami-
lies for two Miles About.
Kirksville, No, May 4 Evidence
of a triple murder and Sheriff Black
ledges's house to house canvass to
poll every household for vacant
chairs have caused great concern
among suburban residents and farm
srs for three miles southeast of
Kirksville.
To day movers who stopped to
water their team at Bear Greek
bridge, two miles from town on the
La Plata road, fshed a stuffed gunny
sack out of the water. They took it
for a cyclone souvenir. It contained
part of woman's scalp, half of her
night ear, and long black tresses still
done up with hair pins. This was
all packed in a pound paper coffee
bag
An extensive wardrobe, very much
torn and bloody, with a blanket,
quilt and laprobe. all blood stained
came out of the bundle.
On bringing the grim find to town
Sheriff Blackledge sorted out a NO
mans complete dress and two sets
of small children clothing, evident
~ for little one of three and one year
of age. Each garment OF these three
was ripped down the back from col
lar to hem, and all were smeared
with blood.
The outer dress is white with
large blue polka dots.
DR.. William Smith of the American
School of Osteopathy, who examined
the scalp, says it was removed with
blunt instrument like a Ratchet,
and bear evidence Of having been
done two weeks ago. The ear was
amputated by the same instrument
and attached by thread to the scalp
| The hair is raven black and seems tc
have been abundant. Microscopic
examinations of the blood on the
clothing shows it to be human blood
There is line of blood down th'
back on all three sets Of clothing
along both borders of the torn edge
as if the clothing had been cut OF
with a knife, which drew Bloc;
from the victims back in the opera
ton. At first it was supposed tbs
the triple murder would be located
at a door in the locality.
Sheriff Blackledge and deputie
went from house to house all owe
the district within radius Of tw'
miles without discovering any miss
ing persons or hearing of disrupted
households.
The farmers turned out to hun
with the sheriff's party. Roll cal
showed every family accounted 10
with the man servants and maid sci
wants within their gates. Search al
and down Bear creek failed to &c
any further evidences Of the horribl
crime.
Parties up until dark were search
ing the border OF the creek, the field
aud woods adjacent for newly mad
graves.
1t is believed that the psrpetrato
buried his dead somewhere along tn
La Plata road, perhaps miles from
the spot where the hair and blood
clothing was deposited.
Sheriff Blsckledge has concludes
that triple murder was committee
and that the crime happened IN tn
camp of spring movers who at TIL

Are Smuggling IN Chinese.

Austin, Tex, May 4.-The federal
authorities of the western district OF
Texas, embracing all of he Rio
Grande border, have received lnfor
nation that a gigantic plot is now
under way to smuggle Chinese into
this country from Mexico. A few
months ago, the Mexican Central
Railway company Imported about
1000 Chinese to work on extensions
of that line. They were brought oil
rect from China and soon after their
arrival a professional American Chi
nese smuggler got among them and
caused many of them to desert their
work, and they are making their
way toward the Rio Grande frontier
in small bands.

lisp by the soldiers Of the American
army in the Philippines. The fact is
that such acts are of common oc-
currence. Archbishop Ireland in a re-
cent authorized interview in the "Out-
look concludes without doubt or hesi-
tation that such things have occurred,
and he bases an argument upon con-
dition that he treats as an indisputable
presumption. The archbishop says:
.sIn the name Of religion, Of civil
ization, Of common sense, give the
Catholic Filipino at least chance
4 to know us as we really are, that
weare not there to stir up religious

civilization is that to introduce in
to these islands? We must assure 4.
the Filipinos without delay that no d
church will be looted, no vestments
stolen, that Catholic churches and
monasteries will be respected every
where; and what we are introduce
ing is civilization under which
Catholics and Protestants have
equal rights under equal state pro
lection" a5
Let us, therefore, take it for granted
that acts of desecration, vandalism and
sacrilege are committed by our soldiers
in the Philippines. At the same time
let us be just and candid. The very
fact that Mr. Schurman, the presidents
commissioner, seeks TO cast discredit
on the disagreeable facts is the best
proof that the administration is
ashamed Of such conduct, as every true
and manly American would naturally
be.
Acts Of violence toward the churches
Of any religion are contrary to the
genius of American government; and
if such acts are committed it is not be.

bnt because of the existance I of situa-
tions and circumstances from which
such acts are inseparable.
\ Protests from Catholics are, Of course

the wrongs committed in the Philip
pine islands lies not in Catholic pro.

DANGER IN CHEAP GLASSES.
A Great Many Eyes Ruined by At
tcmpts Mt Economy.

NcmDNN nt EsCOuomys
Looking back now to the time when
the itinernnt Quack doctor and the
wandering dentist spread misery ana
destruction over the land, we wonder
nt the ignorance or carelessness of our
fathers in trusting their teeth or even
their lives to hands so Enthusiastically.
A very similar thing Is done today by
people who buy spectaclcs or eyeglass-
es from men who sell them on the
streets or have their eyes fitted by op-
ticians who have no qualifications for
doing the work.
A surprising number of people buy
their glasses from venders on the
streets. They get glasses for 80 cents
which seem to them Just as good as
pair they would pay So for having
made on an oculist's prescription. and
they think they have saved money.
Glasses acquired in all sorts of ways
by Inheritance or exchange from
friend or even glasses found on the
streets are used to the dctriment. even
to the destruction, Of the wcarcr's
sight.
"People seem to think glasses are
like Clothes" said an old oculist the
other day. "and If they are fairly com
Portable and look well they ask no
further questions"
Another way In which people dam
age their eyes is through carclessness
in trying to remove dust or cinders
from them. They try themselves. n
friend tries rub, the nearest drug
store and the nearest optican are call

often badly rubbed and scraped. and
in many instances permanent injury Is

large number Of dependents upon Tn

of which the general public knows lit

Such, for example, are the interna-

the expenses Of which our government
contributes 500 year; the lnterna-
tional bureau of weights and measures,

our government shares to the extent
Of $l,500 yearly.
