CHICAGO, June 3.-Edward Fo shay,
OF Kansas City, an actor and assistant

actress, whose home is at Sedalia, Mo-,

played in different cities of the country
until last fall, when they came to Chi

Forshay evidently intended to take
his life after killing the woman, for upon
his person when he was arrested were
letters bidding farewell to his mother,
Mrs J. NJ. Forshay, 1923 Broadway, Kan

Police O'Neill, of this city.
HAD A PREVIOUS QUARREL.
The couple had engaged in desperate
quarrel three days ago, and Forshay is
SAID to have beaten the actress badly,
cutting her head in two places. M IS
Stokes gave orders to the proprietor OF
the Vernon hotel at which she was stop
ping, that Forshay should not be ad-
United to her presence and, although he
called there twice during the early part
OF the evening, he was compelled to leave
10Y the attendants. Later he called, and
the proprietor told him that he c-uld
wait in the parlor, where Miss Stokes
would see him. She came down from
her room, and the couple talked for about
ten minutes, when Forshay suddenly
drew revolver and fired two shots, one
passing through the right lung and the
other close to the heart. She ii d al
most instantly.
After killing the woman, Forshay ran
from the building, and was closely fol-
lowed by James Helm and William Ken
nedy the porter Of the hotel After pur-
suing him a short distance. Helm over
took him, and, throwing him to the side
walk held him until the arrival of the
police. When taken to the police station,
Forshay said that he intended to Kill

There were seven conventions in progress
here at the same time yesterday and
there will be two new conventions today,
one of them to outsnine all the others.
The convention of the American Asso-

held at Masonic Temple New officers for
the ensuing year were elected and many
papers were read, all Of them interesting
to the delegates in attendance. DR.. Z. J.

among other things, that the association
is but an infant, having been in existence
only two years. 1t has survived the
dreaded first two summers and While
somewhat delicate, it IS a promising babe.
He believed that with the inealthful Min

and skilled nursing, the constitution Of
the babe Will become SO fortified against
the attack of the usual infantile afflic-
tions that the future Will build up a.
healthy strong, and useful member Of

spite Of the youthfulnesg of the associa-

other in attendance at its convention yes

ADDRESS BY A PRESIDENT

Life Insurance companies view the
service of the examiner from a business
standpoint; and their efficiency as eX-
aminers is measured by their ability to
protect the companies from assuming
hazardous risks. Much complaint has
been made by examiners against solicit
ors for life insurance, and they have been
accused OF attempting to influence the
examiner to the detrtment Of the com
pany. Such acts Of an agent is treachery
and dishonesty which I am sure every
member Of this association will condemn
The idea that an examiner will intention
ally deceive the cOTcs'cIIy by which h. Is
employed is an insnuation thai fills me
with Indignation. I regret the inability
Of examiners to arraigr these unscrupu-
lous individuals before a proper tribunal
and expose the frauds they attempt to
practice. In referring to this matter l
must state that I do not wish to be
understood as imputing dishonesty or de-
ccption to insurance solicitors in general,
for as a rule I believe them to be gentle
men worthy Of their vocation, ana for
many Of them I have a very high per
sonal esteem"
Following are the officers Of the asso-
citation as elected yesterday: President
]. H Stowell, Chicago; vice president, T.
H. Reed, Battle Creek, Mich; second vice
president, Talbot Jones, st. Paul; sthrd
vice president, 2. F. DeGramO New

The Miners Song.

The coal miners of the anthracite re-.
gions are widely known for their love.
of music, and their reputation as sing.
ers is worldwide. At the Worlds fair.
Of 1893 two of the three prizes for cho-.
rus singing were won by choirs from,
the mining regions of Pennsylvania,
and the eisteddfod is recognized func-.
tion among the miners.
But the song that is most sung among
them now is "The Strike That We Have
Won," composed by a miner, Christ G.
Clappier, of Minersville. Schuylkill
county, in honor OF the victory of last
fall. It is dedicated to the United Mine
Workers of America, and the chorus Is
as follows:
Let capital and labor to arbitration
agree.
That our land from striking may ever.
be free.
There's strength IN our union for each,
and every one;
Then give three cheers for Mitchell and
the strike that we have won.

no money taken as money was taken
yesterday. There will be no pocket

There are men who have come to
believe that money can do anything In
this country. II we have reached that
point, then money must be shorn By
law of its power to do harm. am
willing to see money shorn Of such
power. I have no wish to have that
kind OF power. And, in my opinion.

to bring about legislation that will.

"I am sorry for the victims in Wall

property and refused to sell the con-

ordinary principle.
"In Mr.. Morgan's absence we would
not allow the railroad he reorganized

"The control of the Northern Pacific

class journalism. those desiring to en-
ter it. You are well aware that an en-
tirely new kind of political questions
has emerged; questions of economies.
OF food, OF clothing and shelter; and
that the old party shibboleths have
grown stale. You are aware that this
new political battle field will be fought
over with an earnestness and determ-
ination never witnessed in any preced-
ing contest. You know that nearly all
OF your 400" are the advocates Of the
big trusts, and the favored classes, and
that the country press, as rule, stands
for the people. As the appointee OF the
trusts, as Gage and Long and Griggs
and Knox and Hay have done and are
doing, SO you are lending the helping
hand Of your department to crush the
independent country press.
It may seem small thing for you
to exercise the power Of excluding
from the mails papers Offering pre-
miums. But II you usrup and exercise
this power, you may with equal reason
determine by your arbitrary decree
what papers are "meritorious; what
papers are "sold at less than the cost
OF production" what papers are mere
advertising mediums: and who are
legitimate subscribers. And uron an
adverse decision you may exclude all
such from the mails.
You are we'll aware of the fact Mr.
Smith, that part Of the campaign
fund in every presidential election is
paid out for the establishment of tenn
porary newspapers, or of buying the
support of those already established
Sometimes the owner of the paper gets
the cold cash. But the usual method
is, to give him list Of names and pay
up their subscriptions. Are these bona
fide subscriptions? Are not the mails
here used to send political matter at
pound rates? What would be more
fraudulent? And yet we have not heard
of one paper of this kind that you
have suppressed. Not even an order
have you issued against this nefarious
practice, on the contrary, you have been
careful to make ruling which allows
IT,. sasss.s~ss ssss-s ~
Many and great are the abuses of the
postal system. But they are not those
which you mention. The design OF the
postal system is, first to facilitate COM
munication between individuals: second
to enable the people to supply them
selves with reading matter at the lowest
possible cost OF transportation. The
second of these purposes you are en-
deavoring to Illustrate by the enormous
bounties you are paying to the railroads
and by sacrificing the public for the
profit OF the express companies. And
now it appears to be your purpose to
break down the country press for the
benefit of the big dailies, which are
almost unanimous for imperial trust
rule. Rural free delivery was intended
to break down the country weekly and
substituting the city daily.
To conclude; knowing your wishes
your aims and your methods, it is always
safest and best to oppose any sugges-
ton you may make, although there is
no apparent evil tendency, and even
when it carries on its face the appear
ance OF right and expediency.-From

blacker treachery, there .emerges the

The Stale Grain
Growers Convention

at Fairfax alone two years ago would
have amounted to $1.50O. This sum
would have built two local elevators and
left $500 toward terminal elevator.
Have president, vice-president, sec
retary and treasurer, and a board Of
seven directors.
Have every officer who handles grain
or money furnish bonds that would pro-
tect every bushel of grain from the time
1t leaves the farmers granary until it
is sold and he gets his money.
Do our own banking, and when a
farmer is compelled to sell his grain at
time when prices are low, let him haul
it to his. elevator, get an advance on
It OF 60 or 70 cents per bushel, at or
per cent interest, and when his grain is
sold get the balance, less the interest on
his advance.
Money to handle each crop is now
furnished to the wheat gamblers by the
bankers of the nation at to per
cent. The same same banks would just
as readily furnish it to strong and safe
farmers organization the wheat gam
blers would be. cut out, and the farmer
get what belonged to him.
1t would seem that the farmer should
appreciate the power and value of or
ganization. They have seen all other
business interests organized to fix prices
and, If necessary to do so. limit pro-
duction.
Why should not farmers adopt the
same tactics. and save something for
Themselves which thsy, As wealth-pro-
ducers, are surely entitled to? Believ-
ing that the time is now ripe for such
an effective organization, therefore is
sue the following
CALL.
A call is hereby made for repre-
sentative or mass meeting of farmers of
the state Of Minnesota to meet at Cen
tury hall, in Minneapolis, on Tuesday,
and Wednesday, the 18th and
18th of June. 1891, at 10 O'Clock
in the forenoon, for the purpose Of doing
business along the lines above suggested.
Five delegates will be recognized from
each town in the state, and all railroads
will sell tickets to Minneapolis and re-
turn for regular fare one way.
Tickets must be purchased June to
10. and are good returning to June Is.
These half-rate tickets are issued ON ac-
count of Modern WoQdmen convention

gress has declared three times that your
alleged abuses do not exist?
Again, does not the fact of your
applying to congress for legislation show
beyond question that your alleged
abuses can not b remedied by mere
department order, but that congress
alone has the power to afford relief?
1t would be strange, indeed, If cabinet
member Of this administration, would
apply for Legislation to enable him to do
so. when he possessed that power within
himself.
You admit that you do not possess
this power, by asking for legislation.

may be abated by q rule which is with

Then you send letter to the "4OO'

~
you can safely defy the law.
You assume to determine what publi-
cations are "meritorious." observing
that it is for these only that the advant-
ages OF classification were intended. You
say that paper Offering premium is
not meritorius and should be excluded.
But hold! You qualify this statement
by an exception just such as practical
swindler would make in contract which
he frames to catch the unwary.
You say that a meritorius paper may
offer such premium and not be ex-
cluded. Then, 1t p not the offer of the
premium that disqualifes the paper!
1t is you who determine upon the ques-
ton Of merit, and If you decide ia
vorably, then the premium may be
offered. What q fne opening is here
for "touch!" Yon say that great cir
culations have been built up by this
premium process for publications,
which, upon actual merit, could COM
mand no public patronage whatever" f"
You say that ths s'actual merit" con-
sists in literature and news" You will
fully ignore the3 het that there are
millions Of peop3e eswho take q paper
for its advertisements and quotations

But you do worse than this. You
brand as a fraud every paper which is
furnished to Subscribers at less cost
than it takes to produce it. Now, Mr..
