age was the other day sentenced to life
imprisonment in the wilds of Siberia.
Sent TO life punishment with her was
Catherine Pollow, a dashing member

committed.

her husbands humble roof. and the

protection of a rich nobeman. The
girl, who had so recently been poor and
unnoticed, now rode in handsome
eqIipages, and was clothed in richest
gowns and furs. She had all the dia-
monds she desired. and so clever and
lovely was she that she was much
sought after in the fast set of st.
Petersburg.
The only cloud on the life Of the gay
young woman was in the form of her
husband. The law here provides that if
a man is willing to support his wife and
treat her kindly she must live with
him. The locksmith wanted his wife
and often called upon her, insisting
that She should return 70 him. He final

The love of drink was the weak spot
in the locksmith's character. II was
decided that he should be invited to an
entertainment and made TO drink until
dead An orgie was invented, and TO it
the young man came. There was a
brilliant company Of men and women,
all in the secret, and the locksmith
was piled with the strongest liquors TO

He drank all night, and the company
pretended to do the same. When at.
daylight all had gone except Anna and
her friend, the husband lay in a drunk

not die troubled the two women.
Finally the beautiful Anna, in a fit of
rage and desperation, knelt down and
strangled the unfortunate drunkard to
death.
The two women cut the body into
parts and packed it in a box. They
caused the box to be carried far away

small village. Then Anna continued

to go to another country.

Farmer, 20 nniId Railroad..

The farmers OF the rich Coyello wheat
district'in Washington are planning to
build a railroad outlet for their grain,
TO be known as the Columbia & Covello
railway, a tie-up between the Northern
Pacific and the Oregon railway e. Navi-
cation company having left them with
out transportation facilities. These
wheat growers pay large sums to haul
their crops to Dayton and other points,
some paying as high as $1,000 each year
for this purpose, and they conclude
that they might just as we'll put their
money into a railroad of their own.
They propose TO take stock in the new
company, some paying cash, others
working out their shares grading the
roadbed. Should the weather be at all
favorable, the grading will be complet-
ed by spring. The new company incor-
porates with 100000 shares OF stock at
a par value of one dollar each.
