occurred at Uniontown Sunday.
Mrs. Rosa Wurzer, widow, in fit oi
insanity, drowned her six children aged
from to IL years. Two were boys and
four girls. She threw them into a well
80 feet deep, containing two feet Of water,
then jumped in herself and held the
heads of the children beneath the surface
until all were drowned.
Mrs. Wurzer was found alive in the
we'll with her six children by ueighbors,
who pulled her out with a rope. She is
violently insane.
The woman's husband died year ago,
and since that time she has been sup
ported by the county and the charity of
neighbors.
Following is detail Of the matter
taken from the press dispatches:
City MARSHALL Hagerman of Upion-
town, WASH, who is neighbor Of Mrs.
Wurzer, when coming home at l O'Clock
Sunday afternoon. heard the faint cry of
"Hagerman" coming from near the Wur-
ger house. He saw no one but finally
located the noise in the we'll. As he
peered into the dark depths he discovered
Mrs. Wurzer.
"What's the trouble?" said the mar.
shal.
II threw the children into the we'll
and I am down here also. family replied
Mrs. Wurzer, speaking in the German
tongue.
'When did you throw the children in9'
the marshal asked, and the woman re-
piled: Last night
Marshal Hagerman did not stop to par
ley longer, but rushed for help. He col
le:ted half dozen stout men and Mr..
Hanna volunteered to 60 down the we'll.
He was lowered to where Mrs. Wurzer
was standing and was asked if the chill
dren were there. He sent up the answer:
"No."
He placed the rope under the arms Of
Mrs. Wurzer. who was in a sad condition
from cold and exposure and exhaustion
and she permitted herself to be drawn
out of the we'll, from which the officer
and his aides had removed the curb.
without remoustrance.
Then Mr.. Hanna felt in the water and
shouted up:
II have found one child.,' and sent up
the body by the same well rope. In like
manner he started the other five bodies
to the surface. The bodies were carried
into the sitting room Of the house, placed
Ia row crosswise Of bed and sheet
drawn over them. In the pocket of one
boy was found an apple. indicating that
the family had 6nished the evening meal
before the tragedy occurred. Waiting
the coming Of the coroner. no one has
made careful examinations Of the little
bodies. The only marks Of violence dis
cernible are cut on the boys face and I
black and blue spot on one girls head.
II they escaped other injuries, II will be
remarkable for the drop was fully 90 feet
and the bottom Of the we'll is rock, the
last ave feet having been blasted out.
The dead children are Anna, aged !:

Prof. Ferdinand Hueppe Of Ber-
lin, a most eminent Psychologist,
gives his opinion that a mixed diet
of meats aud vegetables gives the
best results in the mental and
physical development of man, and
proves his conclusions. Man, the
mixed feeder, excels in relative
strength all other mammals, while
il is notable that no vegetarian
animal is able TO In It's own
weight. The effect on the temper
ment is also noted with equal force.
The rice eating Chinese and the
abstemious Hindoo are guilty of
the most revolving crueltits espec-
tally toward the weak. In conclu-
sion it is observed that only in
races which use both kinds of food
do we find such combinations Of
mental and physical power as
Caesar, Napoleon, Humboldt, Hux-
ley, Lincoln, Washington, Bis
marck or Gladstone. The fact
remains, however. that two Amer
leans in three consume too mnch
meat.

Two years ago. during the reunion Of the
rough riders. President Roosevelt was
entertained in the home of the Grants
and became a warm friend of the family.
At the rough riders ball Mrs. Patterson,
then Miss Grant, was the belle and
danced many times with the president.
Another charming Oklahoma belle who
will attend the ball and also be a guest at
the White House until after it has taken
place is Miss Bessie Mulhall. the daugh-
ter of lack Mulhall, the leading cattle
man Of Oklahoma. Miss Mulhall is very
beautiful and accomplished. She can rope
a steer or ride a bucking broncho with
the best of the cowboys. These accom-
plishments won the unbounded admira-
ton of the president during the rough
riders reunion, when she gave a wonder
full exhibition of riding and throwing the

Miss Mulhall does not know the mean

She can shoot with the skill of from

THE GARY MEMORIAL.
would not be complete without the story
of their struggles and labors for the
church.
The new memorial structure is valued
at over 100000 and has many conven-
fences not found in modern churches. It
has fully equipped hotel kitchen. a fire.
proof vault for storing church records, q
banquet hall, dressing rooms for partici-
pants in entertainments, q nursery for
babies who are brought to church and a
pastors reception room. The building is
Of Gothic architecture, constructed of
stone throughout. The auditorium is an
elaborate stone lantern dome, the con-
struction Of which required thirty tons of
steel.
The roof of the Gary Memorial church
is the finest quality of dark slate, with
copper finals, and the stained glass win
dows are equal in beauty to any in the
west. They are made in opalescent mo-
sale, harmonious in color. In both en-
frances to the building are steps of white
Italian marble, with white body of mo.
sale floor. The pews and opera chairs are
heavy quartered oak, with polished an
tique finish Of special Gothic design to
suit the building. The organ is said to be
one of the best in the west and cost
$1,000.
The seating capacity Of the auditorium
on the ground floor is 500, and over the
corridors are two galleries capable Of
seating hundred people. The Sunday
school room, with it's capacious gallery,
and the Epworth League room and la
dies parlor can all be thrown open, maxi
ing vast auditorium, with seats for
1900. Eighteen classrooms provide for
the latest methods of Sunday school
work, and in addition there is large
room for private instruction. Alto ether
the Gary memorial is something new in
church architecture and equipment, and
Methodists throughout the country have
reason to be proud of it.
