who was seeking a divorce, alIeg-
ing cruelty. He did not deny the
charge when found at home, but
pleaded illness. He continued to
grow worse and on Monday was
pronounced dead. Tuesday he
was buried and the next day Mrs.
Merrick was married to Jas Moore
for whom she had long openly
avowed her alteration. 1t is said
that on his deathbed Merrick made
some startling charges against his
wife. The affair dropped for a day
and it was then reported that Mer-
rick's grave had been opened and
the body stolen. Investigation
proved this report to be correct.
This discovery has created a SEN
sation. All kinds of rumors are
ahoat, Some to the effect that he
committed suicide, others that he
was poisoned, and others that he
slammed death. The whole affair
has a most mysterious appearance.
Merrick's father is wealthy. Mer-
rick died in mortal agony, and his
sickness was surrounded with ma
ny suspicious circumstances.

Every Democrat in the county
deserves praise for the excellent
work of the campaign just closed,
which resulted in a large increase
in our majority. Our county new
or before had such splendid or
ganization, and, while every DEM
ocrat in the county did his duty,
Mr.. Geo. w, Landram, the cam
paign chairman, is entitled to
great praise for the energetic work
that he did as chairman of the
committee that had the campaign
in charge. No other chairman has
ever given campaign such care
full attention, and the party will
be fortunate to secure such men
in the future.-Smithland Ban

ELOQUENT APPEAL
To THE DEMOCRACY
OF His County by Lvngstons Popular Son. County Court Gil RI
George w. Landram.
HIS VIEWS ARE CLEARLY AND foRcABlY EXPLAINED.

Mr. predecessor, Mr.. Lowry, an
unfortunate cripple, like myself,
was given an endorsement without
opposition. l was urged by many
in 1894 to make the race then
against him, but l positively re-
fused. because he had made a good
clerk and he not only merited an
endorsement, but according to the
party precedent and custom. the
party owed him an endorsement,
and he got it without opposition.
[ stayed out of the race in 1894,
just as those who are opposing me
now should do, and not try to re-
verse the old time custom of the
great Democratic.party of indoors
ing a faithful public officer. How
ever, l have this to say: If any
Democrat conscientiously believes
that have not made as good pub
lie servant as either of the gentle
men will make who oppose me,
and you do not for any cause be-
lieve that | merit an endorsement,
then it is your duty to vote for

that man against me whom you be-
lieve will make you a better Off
GER; you owe that duty to your
self, your family, your county and
your State.
Notwithstanding the fact that l
have made you a faithful and hon.
est public servant, l can make you
a better one next time, because l
am more familiar with the records,
the duties and requirements of the
Office now than when / first came
into this office. The records of
your titles to your lands and pro-
perty are kept in this Office; hence
a very important Office. Important
to you and your posterity and un-
less a clerk has been unfaithful
and derelict in his duties you can
not afford to educate man in this
Office every four years.
The time for the primary cleo
ton is now very near at hand.
Three weeks of circuit court comes
in between this and the election,
Dec. 10Th, and l can not possibly
visit you at your homes as Ishould
like SO very much to do, and talk
this matter over with you, and so
l want you to consider this per.

test of the famous Great Northern

through special arrangements whereby
Judge B. F. Weber of the Ninth judicial
district will hold court here Oct. 10.
The action is brought for the purpose
of settling a dispute as to the owner

Archbishop Ireland lays claim to the land,
and the action is brought in the name. Of

the result depends the title to many farms

Early in 1889 the lands in question were
granted to the Manitoba railway company
as indemnity for losses sustained ON the
line. Settlers swarmed over the lands,
and by fighting the company proved that
the original losses had been settled, and
the land Office cancelled the claims of the
company. Archbishop Ireland entered
i. into contract with the company and ap-
piled for title to the land under the aot
of congress of 1887 as purchaser from
the company. After hearing the arch
bishop secured patent from the land de-
partment, and he is now striving to eject
the farmers. The defendants claim that
his contract was simply an option that
was never fulfilled.

while insane yesterday, shot her tWo
children, Ethel, aged twelve, ana
Theodore, aged eight years., and then
committed suicide by shooting herself.
Another child lies in Fordham hospl-

the cunning of a maniac, tried to

Long brooding over the prospects OF
death is said to have been the cause OF
the wonanS insanity. Mrs. Smith
was the wife of Walter Smith, who
has been connected with the grocery
house of Austin, Nicholson & Kip for
twenty-one years.
Mrs. Smith drove her husband to
the station yesterday morning and
appeared to be happy and care free.

Mrs. Smith instructed her coachman,
Curtis Moore, to hitch up the team
and take his wife, also a servant for
the Smiths, for a ride on the Speed

before o'clock in the afternoon and
they were met by Mrs. at the door.
The woman was only partly clothed,
but she did not seem to be agitated.
Don't come in yet" she said, with
smile. "Take long ride. There is
plenty of time in the afternoon"
The Mcores again went away, but
they did not stay long. They returned
at $40 o'clock and discovered the
tragedy that had been enacted in
their absence. Mabel, three years OF
age; was killed first in the front room
of the second floor of the house. The
mother had induced the baby to drink
carbolic acid. Then the mother got
the revolver and fired three shots and
the chest of the girl was literally torn
to pieces. It was about this time that
Ethel, the eldest daughter, returned
from school. She tasted the carbolic
acid. but rejected it. Again the pistol
came into play. The mother shot
twice at Ethel, but only one took eff
feet. Then the little boy returned
from school, entering by the back
door. The mother met him and shot
him, killing him instantly. After
satisfying herself he was dead she
returned upstairs Walking into the
hall, she shot herself in the right
breast. The bullet tore through her
body, killing her instantly. MIR. and
Mrs. Moore summoned Policeman
