tiary few weeks ago, died at bis
home, near FaFbsr, Wednesday Of

ry three years ago for killing his

tion.
HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
Alexander January, the murdered
man, lived with his wife and thirteen
children one mile north OF Farber.
II seems that the elder january had
been most brutal to his family and
had frequently threatened to kill them
all and burn their bo dies in the house.
These threats and the continual bru-
tality OF his father 90 infuriated Will
liam, then nineteen years old and the
fourth oldest son, that he deliberately
planned to slay hss father. The plan
reached completion on Saturday, Aug.
8, 1896. About O'Clock on the even.
ing OF that day young January clipped
up behind his father and shot him
twice, once In the thigh and once In
the shoulder; this not proving fatal,
the infuriated young man secured
piece Of plank and, nsing it is a club,
beat tho remaining life out OF his
father. Calling his mother, and,
after telling her that ne had killed his
father, the young man notified the
neighbors, telling that someone had
murdered his father and had left on a
horse.
Afterward young January confessed
that It was he who did the KILL
ing. he made the confession to Com
stable M. N. Nelson and Judge Alex
ander.

crude in conception, unScientiic in its nature.
and incapable Of being sustained by any accurate

A ,htncse- Mexican Treaty.

b.
Washington, Nov. 3.--For some time
negotiations have been in progress In.
Washington toward establishing treaty
relations between China and Mexico.
The negotiations have been carried on
by Ambassador Aspiroz. of Mexico, and
Minister Waiting Fang. of China, and
are now so far along that the signing of
the instrument is expected to occur
early next week. Provision is made by
which each will receive from the other
the benefits of favored nation
clause. Mexico will also receive the
right of extra territoriality in China.
Another advantage secured by Mexico
will be access to important treaty ports
of China, which serve as gateways to
the commerce OF the empire. Up 10 this
time Mexican trade in China has been
admitted at treaty ports, not of right,
but on suffrance. On the part of China
other important advantages are gained.
There is considerable number of Chi
nese in Mexico. who, thus far, have not
had the protection secured by a treaty
and by the presence II consuls and Dip
lomatic representatives OF the govern
ment China Will also receive num-
Der of other advantages in trade and
navigation. A unique feature of the
treaty is that English is selected as the
official language" instead of French
which is the universal language of Dip
lomacy.

The Americans occupy 1loiio and the
adjoining towns Of Jaro ana Molo with
1000 men, consisting of the Eighteenth
and Twenty sixth regiments, two bat
tallons OF the Nineteenth regiment, q

in substance how the Filipinos attacked

Dewey nor any other American had
made him any such promise.

BICYCLES Nav Be Cheaper.

From the present indications it
looks as if the proposed formation
of one bicycle trust will lead to the
organization of second. The
withdrawal of one concern that turns
out 100000 wheels year and
makes all the parts including tires,
in its own shops, was Il sharp blow
to the original scheme.
1t has been generally understood
IN the trade that the one recacl-
trant would be supported by at least
two other big makers. Since this
situation developed there has been
considerable of what sounded like
blutfing on each side, the trust pro-
motors saying that they would pro-
coed and that the others would be
forced to come in or get the worst of
it, while those holding out Dragged
of being strong enough to play it
alone. Should it come to an issue
between two big combines, riders
might be able in the course of the
fight to buy their bicycles as cheaply
as ready-made clothing, but the out
come of the tangle is too uncertain
to afford any advantage to the pur-
chascrs who want to ride this year.
