THE MORRIS KILLING.
Story as Cleaned From Witnesses
Who Saw the Sad Affray.

On the application of John c.
Nelson for bond, for the killing of
Albert Morris, before Judge Flan-
ley, at Oswego, Kas., on the oath
inst, we are reliably informed
that the proof showed that on the
day Of the killing Nelson passed
Morris on the streets of Coffey-
vile, where be was standing in
the door of the Office of Carey's
livery barn; that Morris had en-
open knife in his hand, and that
the men eyed each other but did
not speak Later Nelson passed
Morris again who was standing
talking in front of Thurman's store
with the open knife still 10 his
hand. AS soon as Nelson passed
Morris made three leaps toward
him and made rake at Nelson's
throat with the knife. Nelson
lodged the blow and avoided in
jury by dncking his head. turning
he faced Morris, who struck him
and knocked him to bis right knee.
While in this position Nelson
dlew his pistol and fred while
Morris was raking at him with his
knife. The ball took effect in
10 Morris groin. Nelson arose,
and while backing fired two more
shots which missed. Morris, in
the mean time kept crowding him
and striking at him with his fist
and knife.
Nelson backed 10 the curb and
fell in the gutter. Morris on top.
Nelson fred two more shots while
on his back in the gutter, both
taking effect. Morris fell between
Nelson's legs and was struck by
Nelson In the face with his pistol.
Bystanders then separated the
combatsnts, as stated in former
issue. Nelson was admitted 10
bail in the sum Of SIC. 900.

eft to The People Served bv
Star Routes.


was Issued from the Office of the
Hon. Second Assistant Postmaster
General, Washington. ID. c., a
general advertisement inviting pro-
posals for carrying the mails on all
the star routes in the fourth con-
tract section, including all states
and territories west OF the Missis-
sippi river, except Minnesota,
Iowa and Missouri, for term of
four years, beginning July ist,
1902. Proposals under that ad-
vertisement Will be received at
the Office of the Hon. Second As
sistant until Dec. 3rd next.
Heretofore star route contracts
were let to the lowest bidder who
could give a satisfactory bond, re-
gardless OF where such bidder re-
sided. THE contracts let under
advertisement referred TO above,
however, will be limited TO those
persons who will agree TO reside
on or contiguous TO the routes up
on which the service is to be per-
formed and TO give their personal
supervision to the same.
Under the old system, some of
the professional contractors had
hundreds and even thousands of
contracts. They would then sub
let them to some one on or con-
tiguous 10 the route and In that
way the local man was deprived OF
full remuneration for the service
rendered to the department. That
will now be changed, the local
man getting the iull amount.
This is also the first general ad-
vertisement for the states mem
toned above which has incorpor-
ated the feature OF delivering the
mail into boxes along the lines Of
the star routes. 1t is proposed
under present advertisement. in
addition to carrying the mails to
the various post Offices on the star
routes covered by this ADVERTISE
ment, that the carrier on each
route, except where otherwise
specifically stated, will also be re-
quired TO deliver mail into all
boxes and hang small bags or
satchels. containing mail. on cranes
or posts erected along the route
under certain conditions, which
are fully set forth in the advertise
menl and which will give persons
living on the line Of these star
routes much better service than
they have had heretofore. In
fact, II is hoped that such service
viii be almost equally as sat;sfac-
tory as rural free delivery. twill
also reach territory where, on &C
count Of sparse settlement, it,
would be imprscticable to estab-
lish rural free delivery.

the matter TO the attention of per-
sons likely TO bid on those routes
which touch his Office. The ad
vertisement will be posted in the
postoffice and every effort will be
made to inform every person who
is interested and who would be
likely to bid.
There will also be number of
assistant superintendents assigned
to this special work. Four will
be assigned to duty in this (the
eleventh. division, as follows:
Watson Fuller will have Louisi-
ana, with headquarters at New
Orleans.
A. S. Roberts, Texas, head.
quarters at Austin.
w. F. Hit, Oklahoma and In
dian Territory, headquarters Okla
homa.
r. M. Thomas, Arkansas, head
quarters at Little Rock.
These gentlemen will give their
personal attention to the work of
instructing postmasters and bid
ders as to what il required, look
ing after the proposals generally
and will keep this office and the
department fully advised as to
conditions. They will visit the
county seats having star routes.
those post Offices which are the
junction points for several routes
and heads of all of the longer and
more important routes, whether
junction OF others or not.
The department will make every
effort possible 20 insure the sue
cess Of this new departure by en-
deavoring to fully instruct all of
those upon whom its success de-
pends.
Under the same date an adver-
tisement was issued for screen
wagon service in a number of the
more important cities and the as
sistant superintendent and others
will be expected to make the same
effort to give publicity to that ad-
vertisement and to interview local
deliverymen, expressmen and 9TH
ess in position to bid, in order that
the screen wagon service, as well
as the star route service. may be
placed on far better footing than
heretofore.
Contracts fcr screen wagon SER
ice have been formerly let to pro-
fessional contractors, same as star
route contracts. and it is believed
that the proposed change will not
only give us far better service In
both lines, but will also leave more
money with the local people.
Any person desiring TO bid
either on star route or screen
wagon service-can obtain all the
information he desires by apply
ing TO his postmaster for blanks,
etc. He can also inform himself
from the pamphlet advertisement
as 10 just what amounts are now
being paid contractors in each case
and what the sub-contracior on
any route is receiving.
All bids should be in the hands
OF the Hon. Second Assistant Post
master. G eneraI, Washington, d.

"a Day and a Night ;

Hoyt's "a Day and a Night is an
excellent medium for the display of
the versatile talents of the members
of the company which is this season
producing thai popular comedy. The
plot tells an interesting story, and is
worked out with many ludicrous stu
ations and laughter-provoking eli
MAKES. There is an immense quanti-
ty of fun. bright music, pretty young
women and good singing crowded into
three acts. Many novel specialties
are introduced, and the costuming and
settings are sumptuous and elaborate.
It is doubtful if the versatile Hoyt
ever wrote anything that contained
more elements to please the mass of
theatre-goers than IA Day and a
Night It's continued success is
evidence that it pleases the people.
The musical program is new this sea-
son and includes a number of selec-
tions that are bound TO become popu-
lar. "a Day and a Night" comes to

SPALDlNG Is AGAINST
WARS FOR TERRITORY

At the opening of the series of SUM-
set banquets at the Galesburg club at
Galesburg last evening, Bishop John
l.. Spalding, of Peoria, delivered an adj
dress on '.Thc New Century" He
reviewed the achievements of the
nineteenth century in mechanical in
vention, science. education, sociology
and the position of women, and then
said:
I'VE should rejoice in what the
nineteenth century has given us.
which should reveal our duties in the
twentieth, but we will come, no
doubt, to regard the achievements of
the last 100 years as mere barbarities.
OF the great wars which have been
waged, nearly all were for aggran-
dizement. Our own civil war was
largely conflict of human passions,
rendered sectional by human preiu-
dice; still it was for the noblest pur-
of human bondsmen.
Warfare is undergoing change.
and it shall be the mission of the new
century for nation to oppose nation,
not for personal greed, but for the
cause of righteousness. Industrial
freedom and equality. too. must be
secured, such as the labor unions are
striving for. The spirit of the twen-
tieth century shall be the striving to
make human life possible for all men
and all women. He who grinds men
down to starvation wages in the war
of competition is a wicked man.
Competition is not the life of trade
when it is the death of men.
This Imperialism of competition
which leads armed men into foreign
countries to conquer and open up
new marts of trade is entirely wrong;
that is carrying the love of monsy to
a base end. and this spirit will prove
the destruction of the nations which
so continue. Instead of competition
for life, let it be cooperation for life.
Socialism is as surely coming as that
present conditions exist

''At the present time the road is

There is not the least doubt but
that the road will be extended to

this deal here is but side issue for

ested in it.
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul off,

a view of adopting some standard
method of illuminating library and
ordinary passenger coaches. At pres
ent lamps are used almost entirely in
the lighting of all but parlor and
sleeping ears. Electricity can only be
used on limited trains on account of
the expense of equipment and main
tenence. Acetylene gas, generated on
the cars, it is thought, will be the
base of car lighting systems of the flu
ture. and several cars equipped with

mitted. The system which seemed to
meet with the greatest favor gener-
ated the gas in a small tin box which

New Developments In Attempted Suicide
at Davenport.
The Davenport Republican says:
cit is reported that the, developments
in the case of the wealthy brunette
from Omaha who attempted to COM
NIT suicide by taking laudanum last
week in this city will be highly SEN
sational. The name of young man
is connected with the case, and it is
said that unrequited love was one of
the causes of the rash act OF the girl.
The case against the young man, who
is the son of influential parents. is in
the hands of lawyer. 1t is said that
somebody will be called upon to ex-
plain the disappearance of about $500
worth of diamonds that the beautiful
brunette had in her possession before
she entered upon her gay life with
the lively lads of the town. 1t may
be shown that these jewels were
disposed of in legitimate
although entirely too extravagant
manner, and it is understood that
they are now in the possession of a
young Davenporter."

A monument commemorative of
the military, events and achievements
of the nineteenth century. in peace
and war, in United States history. TO
be erected on the prom ontory at the
extreme south end of the island of
Rock Island, is the object of an under
taking of the Tri-City Press club. Act
ing upon the suggestion of Paul
Kersch, the club referred this propo-
sition to its committee on public
good, to which Mr.. Kersch was added,

ling of the club at the Hotel Som

Mr.. Kersch met with spontaneous

effort will be spared to accomplish.
through the aid of the military
authorities and the members of con-

fluence of the people generally of the
community, to carry forth to con-
summation this most worthy patriotic
enterprise.
Social Part OF the Evening.
The club, after transacting regular
routine business, during which Este
Buffum, of THE ARGUS. was admitted
to membership, partook of the hospi-
tality of the Moline members, who had
arranged for neat little spread in
the dining room of the hotel. Re-
turning to the parlors the program of
the evening, as arranged by the enter
tainment committee under the direc-
ton of Chairman Jordan, was taken
up. The feature consisted of mock
trial in which one of the members
was arraigned for the crime of having
refused to accept pass on a railroad.
Various members of the club acted in
the respective capacities essential to
court procedure, the Judge, and other
court officials, counsel. jurors, wit.

after ludicrous trial the jury ac-

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible rnalady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or nicer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns. ~
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows !:
A small pimpie came on my jaw a bout a n inch
below the the left side of my face. It gave

JOHN HAUSCH's Cash
Box in Denver Safe Deposit Vault
Held in Suicides
Name.
MAY CONTAIN MISSING $4,000
Mysterious Stranger Who Accom-
panied Farmer From
the West.

Information has come from Denver
that may clear the mystery of the
location of the $4,000 that John
Hausch. who recently suicided at his
home in Rural township. is known by
his family to have had when he left
for a trip west some weeks ago. The
information is in the shape of tele-
gram from the international Trust
company. of Denver, received yester-
day afternoon by George w. McCas-
krin. attorney for the suicides widow,
stating that box is held in the safe
deposit vault of that institution in
the name of John Hausch. What the
box contains will be ascertained later
on when an administrator for the
estate is appointed. The supposition
is. however, that Hausch deposited
his cash there, and perhaps will. as
no document has been found in his
home or with any of his friends MAX
ing disposition of his property, which
includes about two hundred acres of
land in Rural aside from live stock and
cash.
Cause of the Tragedy.
Hausch's self-destruction was the
climax to a suit for divorce begun by
his wife following long series of
quarrels. The wife alleged drunken
ness and cruelty and secured an in
junction restraining the husband from
interfering with his family pending
the hearing of the petition for di-
vorce. Hausch packed his belongings
and left home, taking 81 000in money
with him. He turned up in Denver,
working as a teamster there for
short period. AS it was nearing the
date set for the hearing of his wife's
suit, he returned and filed an answer
in the circuit court. denying her al
legations. What ensued the public is
familiar with, Hausch visiting his
home armed with a revolver, which
he fired, but without injury to any
one. and the same night took a dose
of poison that resulted in his death a
few days later.
1t is reported that Hausch was ac-
companied from the west by man
who represented himself as minister
and whose ostensible purpose was to
effect reconciliation between the
estranged couple. He has since
dropped out of sight, giving rise to-
the suspicion that his motives were
not sincere.
