Berlin, Feb. 20.-The threat of a tariff war
between Russia and the United States continues
to occupy large space in the German press The

A BRUTAL WIFE MURDERER.
An Illinois Farmer Transferred Into
FIend as the Result OF
Trivial Quarrel.

Bloomington, H., May 13.--On
farm near here, yesterday, Merritt
Chism killed his wife. AS she was
starting to church in buggy with
two little daughters, of Chism, her
step-daughters, quarrel arose. Chisn
jumped into the buggy, and, with
knife, cut his wife's face and neck. He
then threw her into the road, jumped
upon her and stabbed her repeatedly.
Her son, Harvey Freeland, aged 12i
struck at Chism with a ball bat.
Chism wrested the bat from the lad
and struck his wife three times with
it, smashing her skull and dashing out
her brains. Then he tried again to
stab the woman. Harvey caught the
hand in which was the knife. Chism
drew the knife through Harveyt
hand, almost severing the fingers and
stabbed Harvey in the arm. Chism
then fed across the fields and tried
to drown himself in a well. The wa.
ter was not deep enough, and he
climbed out and went to the house
of son, where he tried to kill him
self with a revolver. The son pre-
vented this, and took Chism to Bloom.

the sheriff. Chism is one of the
wealthiest farmers in the county. lie

never before been guilty of crime. lie

CARRIED FOR NINE YEARS.
One of Thirte en- Buckshots Fired into
Mans Face Works its
Way Out.

Mattoon, H., May 13.-When Will
lam Merlile, an engineer on the Peoria
division of the Illinois Central, with
headquarters in this city, awoke yes
terday morning he felt a strange sub.
stance under the base of his tongue.
His mirror told him that it was
large buckshot, and few hours later
a physician successfully removed it.
The Incident recalls a narrow es-
cape from death Merkle experienced
nine years ago near GRANVILLE. While
his train was passing an old hut some
one fired into the front cab window
OF Merkle's engine. A load of buck
shot perforated the engineers face
and he fell unconscious with his hand
grasping the throttle. The fireman
pulled the train to this city and Mer-
kle was conveyed home apparently
dying. To every ones surprise he re-
covered, and is now as sound as ever.
This is the first of 13 leaden pellets
that has worked its way out.
