Special to Times-Republican
Sioux City, Nov. 26.-Ben Mcknight,
who kicked his wife to death and was
convicted of the crime in the district
court here was sentenced Monday after
noon to twenty-five years imprisonment
at hard labor in Anamosa prison.
Mcknight received his severe sentence
with almost the same stoicism that has
marked his conduct turnout his imprs-
onment and trial. Perhaps he did trem-
Bile bit In nervous anticipation of what
might come, for Judge Dewey foreshad-
owed something severe in his prelimi-
nary remarks. But when the fateful
Words fell from the judges lips Nc
Knight heard them without a witch of
his mouth or eyes; he merely pulled a
handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his
mouth and then leaned toward one of
his attorneys, d. II. Sullivan, with the
remark:
That's pretty hard, amt it?"
After a few more whispered words
with the lawyer, in which he was told
that they could do nothing more now
but to appeal to the supreme court, Nc
Knight was taken down into his steel
cell in the county Jail, where he will be
guarded with extra precaution until he
is taken to Anamosa.
I'm trial of this kind" said
Judge Dewey, there are thirteen men
to be convinced: the jurors who declared
you guilty were twelve of them, and
am the thirteenth. 1 do feel that am
in full sympathy with the verdict OF the
jury in this case. The circumstances as
brought out by the evidence were sol
aggravating from first to last that am
in fullest sympathy with the findings of
the jurors. This was not an ordinary
assault, but vastly more; there was first
the fact that it was an assault upon a
woman: second, that woman was a
member Of your family; third, she was
your wife. Step by step there was
shown terrible aggravation. and the
facts brought out by the evidence OF the
state, if true, carry to the ordinary
mind deep feeling Of repugnance.
The judge then stated the law regard
ing punishment for murder in the first
degree, and after considering the pleas
for clemency in few words pronounced
the sentence as given above.

FOR PENNY POSTAGE.
Belief That Time Has Come to Cut let
ter Rate in Two.

Washington, Nov. 26.-There is re-
vival Of the proposition Dor penny post
age. 1t has been forgotten by many
but Ii is of record th1t the republican
national convention of 1888 which nofnf-
mated Gen. Harrison for president In
serted in its platform a demand for
penny postage. Subsequent events made
this reduction impracticable and many
will still doubt the wisdom OF reduc-
ton now, but Congressman Smith, of
Illinois, who has long advocated penny
postage will renew the fight for it. He
is second in term Of service In the house
committee on postoffices and post roads.
In this connection he said recently:
1.-THE first bill of national Importance
will introduce when congress con-
venes will be one providing for penny
postage. In the past three congresses
have introduced by bill to give the
penny postage, and have received let
tiers from every section of the country
indorsing the measure. l did not press
the BILL however, for the reason that
the postal revenues could not we'll stand
the reduction at the time and because
the expenditures of the country We're ex-

Spanish war.
But now the time has arrived when
penny postage can be given considera-
tion by congress and 1T can be adopted
without Gripping the revenues of the
postofIlce. In the face Of the reduction
of 100000 in war taxes we have a
constantly growing surplus in the treas
ury, and, besides, the amended regula-
ton made by the postmaster general re-
lating to second-class mail matter will
making a saving in the postal revenues
of something like $15,000,00O
with these changed conditions I can
now press the passage Of my penny
POSTAGE bill. It can not consistently be
opposed on the ground that the revenues
OF the government will not warrant the
reduction in the postage. AT first there
will be falling off in the postal re-
ceipts, but the eventual increase will
more than make up for the loss. This
was demonstrated when we reduced the
postage from 3 to 9 cents.
1--WE have the richest country and the
richest and best government on earth
and we can afford to give the people the
cheapest postage in the world. Penny
postage will be boon to our merchants,
and it will add to the prosperity of the
country in more ways than one"

Tho Horse Market.

Chicago, Nov 2e.-Receipts were eSti-
mated Monday at 500 head. Little or no
change could be detected in the general
market, demand and prices holding
steady with the close of last week. The
attendance of buyers was quite large
and all operated quite freely. Good to
choice heavy drafters are leading in the
demand.
The foreign movement of horses con-
tinues at the lghtest volume of the
year, only thirty head being
shipped direct to Europe last week COM
pared with thirty-four the corresponds
ing week last year and siXty-one dur
ing the same period of 1893. Several of
the largest operators are at home on
vacations, and will not execute further
orders until after the holidays. Exports
for the month to date aggregate III
horses, against 161 head for the came
dates last year. The introduction of
electric motor power to operate the
street car lines In many of the European
cities has reduced the demand for tram
mers, which was the principal grade
purchased on foreign account. s
