s In Moman's Realm

MI r. w. w. SCRANTON, notwithstand-
Vl ing the fact that his prominence IN
the most important interests Of the
city frequently presents him In the lis ht
of a scrapper among others who are also
more or less obstinate in holding point,
is always welcomed in society as an ac-
QUESTION and a man Of peace. In fact
few men are more happily endowed with
gift for saying graceful things. Then
his towering figure and commanding pres
ence naturally yield him much fiattering
attention from the feminine portion of a
social assembage; but to see him the
other day as a sort Of presiding genius
of Woman's club was really an un-
looked for experience among his ac-
quaintances. To say that his attitude on
that occasion would have tr1sarmed even
more madly in earnest apostles of re-
form than the members of a Woman's s
club just beginning to taste the sweets
of power, fully describes the situation.
Mr.. Scranton is an artist In his way and
the quiet observer who may have wit
messed the effect of his presence and his
nice little speech at that meeting would
be prepared to predict that he will prop
ably own the street car system, and the
telephone companies, not to mention the
city government and other such Incl
dentals If 1t should happen to enter his
active, determined brain to attempt the
task.
There is one thing in which, however,
the Womans club should be generous,
as 1t is strong and that Is 1t should not
absolutely drive Mr.. Scranton and the
water company to buy UP the entire
landscape.
THAT wOMAN'S CLUB certainly is
] capable of working miraculous
changes in the vicinity of Green
Ridge If 1t Is polite and persistent. 1t
has the support Of the best people in the
measures proposed. 1t has the advan-
tage Of the cleverest legal advice, the
opinions Of the finest experts in their
various professions and the courtesy Of
a hearing on all occasions. There Is only
one danger to menace the usefulness OF
the Economic Section and indeed this IS
a peril which usually confronts women
in their attempts at the reform Of exist
ing evils. While such a danger Is not
apparent at present 1t may develop later
on and that Is the tendency to demand
revolutionary changes as a right instead
of using that greatest argument tact.
and bringing to it's aid all the power
which feminine wit can devise. Men are
such absurd creatures, they like to be
coaxed and flattered little and then
they do like to grant great generous
favors-as favors-and go round trying
to adjust an imaginary halo ever after.
but they just hate to be told by a parcel
of women you shall or you shan't do
thus and So" Queer creatures, these
men!

Deathbed Statements.
fsneciaI to The Herald.N

Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 21.-Through a.
deathbed confession and the story of a
woman. light has been thrown on the
murder four years ago of Mrs. Lud-
wig Wurl, the wife of wealthy Ger
man ranchman near Tie Siding, thirty
miles west of Cheyenne. She was killed
one evening while going from the
house to a barn. The murderer had
used an ak with which he had hacked
the body into pieces. leaving the bloody
weapon sticking in the head of his vic
tim. The murdered woman's husband
and a hired man named Hans Delfs
were supposed to have been on the
road between the ranch and Laramie
at the time the crime was committed
AS the house was ransacked from top
to bottom it was supposed robbery was
the motive for the crime.
A year after the murder Hans DelfS
committed suicide, and until this time
the authorities had not secured sin
gle cIew that would solve the mystery
surrounding the death of Mrs. Wurl,
although some of the best detectives
in the country were engaged on the
case On his deatbbed Delfs confessed
that he had inflicted his wounds be-
cause he had murdered a defenselesS
woman and could no longer stand the
thoughts Of the horrible crime
A year ago word was received from
South Africa that Ludwig WuTl, who
left Wyoming shortly after the death
of his wife in company with Mrs.
Kruger. a relative of President Kruger,
OF the South African republic, had died
by his own hand.
A few days ago d prominent German
resident of Cheyenne received letter
from a friend in Germany which stated
that Mrs. Kruger had told him that
Wurl murdered his wife, being assisted
by Delfs. On his deathbed Wurl, who
had married Mrs. Kruger shortly after
their arrival in South Africa, confessed
that he committed the crime. His
reason for wanting his wife out OF the
way was because he was in love with
Mrs. Kruger, and the latter would have
nothing to do with him as long as his
wife was alive.
Mrs. Kruger learned nothing of
WurI's crime until the confession OF the
dying man. and like everyone familiar
with the murder supposed that Mrs
WurI had been killed by highwaymen-
The Wurls and Krugers were among
the most prominent citizens of the
southern part Of the state.
