MYSTERIOUS MURDERS.
The Mystery of Two Murdered
Women at Evansville, Ind,
Remains Unsolved.
BOTH KILLINGS DONE ABOUT ALIKE.
Each Body shows the Marks OF
strnngIer's Fingers. Leading to
the Belief that One Person Com
mitted Both Crimes-Two other
Murders Recalled.

Evansville, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE mys-
terry of the two murders near this
city. Tuesday, remains unsolved. The
fact that both of the victims were
women; that both were killed in the
same manner, and evidently by the
same person, adds 10 the mystery.
What possible motive existed for
either crime no one is able to ex-
plain. Neither woman was known to
have had an enemy, and nothing is
known to link the two of them in any
way likely to furnish an excuse for
one man to attack both.
The body of Mrs. Georgia Railey
was found near the city beside the
public highway. There were finger
marks on the throat. The neck was
broken. The supposition is that the
woman was choked to death by some
one in a buggy and then, when she
fell out, her neck was broken. There
were evidences of the body being
dragged a distance down the ditch.
A mile outside Getty. but in an OPP
posite direction, the body of Miss Lena
IttIllCi NdS QiSCONcItu bN seal CuGI -
Her throat also had finger marks
showing the manner of death to be
similar to that of Mrs. Railey.
John Kifer, who was seen with Miss
Renner, was arrested, but proved an
abb and was released.
The similarity of circumstances of
these two murders to two others in
this city in the last three years forms
a strange coincidence in the case. In
April, 1s9s, Mrs. Mary Stork went
buggy riding with a stranger. The
next morning her dead body was
found in ditch. The man who took
her life was never discovered. Mrs.
Stork was prominent young woman
and a great sensation followed her
death.
In April of the following year Miss
Kifer. of Elberfeld, Ind. while visit
ing here, suddenly disappeared. Her
body was found weighted down in a
creek the following month. Joseph D.
Keith, a wealthy farmer, has been
sentenced to be hanged next Friday
for the crime.

MODEL PUBLIC LIBRARY,
Moyem mt Foot to Establish = Model
Public Lib, AIRY at tho St Louis
Worlds Fair.

ST. Louis, Nov. 9.-The movement
for the establishment of a model pub
lie library on the sic of the World
fair is rapidly assuming definite pro-
portions. The first persons to advo-
cate this movement were the trustees
of the ST. Louis public library. who
have seen from the first an excellent
opportunity to extend the usefulness
of the library and to insure a delight
full resting place on the grounds. At
first this movement concerned itself
only with the establishment of an or
binary library. More recently. how
ever, the idea of a model library has
been developed. as being valuable
exhibition of a perfected library sys-
TEN, and the board of trustees of the
public library forwarded to the
Worlds fair officials commnniea-
ton setting forth in detail the adj
vantages of a plan for a model Ii
brary.
Librarian Frederick NJ. Cruden, of
St. Louis public library, believes that
library supply houses would furnish
the model library without charge, and
that publishers could be induced to
supply reading matter in the same
way. He is also of the opinion that
the library building should be per
manent. with an attempt at architec-
tural beauty, the library, after the
fair, forming one of the most valua-
bic branches of the public library ir
the city.
Director Taylor, talking about the
location that could be offered for the
model library, said: If the library
board could supply the funds, we
could assign them an attractive loca-
ton on the grounds, at Lindell bouIe-
ward and Sllinker road. If they wished.
If they can not, difficulties would
arise. The library board can, | be-
heye, make available for that purpose
part of the million dollars Mr.. Car
negie has offered ST Louis for a pub
lie library and branches. If they can
do this, we certainly can have a model
library on the grounds

Senator Bailey, who was for two
congresses the leader of the minority
in the house, saws that so far as he is
aware there will be no meeting of the
minority senator's to decide upon a
policy Of opposition in the coming
congress. He is inclined to think that
events will be likely to suggest their
course. Senator Bailey said that If

ROMANCE IN A GOLD STRIKE.
Penniless Man Makes q Rich Find
in British Columbia in Worked
Out Disgings.

News has been confirmed of a rich
strike on Horsefly creek, in Old Carl
boo, B. c. Pans run up to two doll
lars, and there is wild stampede on
similar TO the first rush to the KIon-
dixie. At first the news was received
with incredulity, the statements be-
ing made that the country vas all
worked out, as far as plaeers were
concerned, 80 years ago. Ii the rush
of the COS 81 100000 was taken from
Lightning creek. Cariboo, in three
weeks, and Antler creek was almost
as rich. 1t IS claimed that in the rush
of long ago for some reason Horse
fly creek was overlooked, says a Van
couyer report.
The present rush is the result of
romance. Adolphe Drucker, a former
British NJ. p, met some British CO.
lumbians in London, England, who
told him of the riches that had been
obtained in Cariboo 30 years ago.
He became enamored with the story.
He borrowed money to reach Cariboo.
as he was penniless. When he arrived
he was laughed at for coming so far
to a worked-out diggings lie went
up the Hors efy creek, though warned
not to, owing to the difficulty in get
ting supplies, and was told that no
white men had yet been able to go to
the head of the creek. Drucker went
up the creek, however, up to the head
where no one had gone before him.
and his first pan yielded two dollars.
Drucker kept the matter secret,
and, returning to civilization, picked
out those who had been kind to him.
and among them they staked nearly
the whole creek Every pan tried was
rich in gold. Numerous other creeks
not prospected are now supposed to
be equally as rich. Drucker will be 4
