Negro Wife Murderer Hanged.

Carthage, Mo, July 5.-Ernest
Ried, colored man, was hanged
here to-day for the murder OF his
wife on the 10th of June, 1900. He
was tried and convicted of murder
in the first degree and all efforts TO
secure a new trial failed, nor would
Gov. Dockery change the sentence.
Ried has for months professed religion
and this morning said he came out
to die like a man. because God was
with him and had forgiven all his
sins Reverends Ward and Abbott,
both colored preachers, and A.
Hughes were with him and held short
service. The trap was sprung at
1919 and in seven minutes his pulse
ceased to beat.

SHOT AT HER FORMER EMPLOYER
Louisiana Girl Also Shot at the MavOr
and Cut Her Throat.

New Orleans, La. July 4.-The
pretty town of New Iberia, La, is in
the thrOes of a sensation such as the
state has seldom seen
Yesterday Miss Eva Domanaque,
one of the prettiest girls in town and
a recent graduate of the New Iberia
high school, walked into the store of
A. Daigre, one of the most successful
merchants in the little city, and beck
oned Mr.. Daigre to one side.
Miss Domanaque, who had been
employed in the store since her grad
uation, spoke to Mr.. Dairge for a
short while and finally he walked
away from her. AS he did so the girl
pulled large revolver from her shirt
waist and opened fire on him. The
first bullet grazed his cheek
Mr.. Daigre fed from the building
and down the street. Miss Donna
anaque fired three shots at him as he
fed. Mayor Burke tried to stop her.
She turned on him and fired. He
took to his heels, too.
The girl remained alone ir the
store. Frightened men peered at
her through the open windows. She
placed the revolver to her forehead
and snapped it twice. Then she
walked to the show case seized a
razor and drew it across her throat.
She sank to the floor with blood
gushing from the wound in a great
stream.
Tell mother died innocent, she
gasped. The wound was sewed up
and Miss Domanaque has chance
for recovery.
The last heard of Mr.. Daigre was
that he had taken a skiff at Jeaner-
cite and was headed for Plaquemines.
A brother of MISS Domanaque chased
him to the former place. Daigre's
store is closed. He is married man
and after he fed his family followed.
Daigre had only lived in New Iberia
two years.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days,
when, as somebody has said, men
drop by the sunstroke as if the Day
of Fire had dawned. They are
fraught with danger to people whose
systems are poorly sustained; and
this leads US to say, in the incerest of
the less robust of our readers, that
the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety
of calling this medicine something
besides blood purifier and tonic
say sustaining diet. 1t makes it
much easier to bear the heat assures
refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness this time
of year.

CAPTURED ONE
THOUSAND FILIPIN0S.
Bellarmino, After a Sharp Chase, Sur
rendered His Force and Arms
to Col. Wint.

Manila, July 6.-The forces of the
insurgent leader Bellarmino, which
recently have been operating around
Donsel, province of SorOgon, were
driven across the mountains by the
second infantry and finally captured
by the sixth cavalry. Bellarmino,
with 900 men and pa guns, sur
rendered to Col. Wint at Albay, cap
ital OF the province of that name.
One hundred more rifles will be sur
rendered tomorrow.
Later in the day the official an
nouncement of the surrender of Bel
larmino was made. According to
this account, Bellarmino, who had
been operating in the province OF
Sorsogona, surrendered Thursday
last at Lagaspi, off Albany Bay,
with 80 officers, 315 guns and 5000
rounds OF ammunition. The insur-
gent president of that section of the
country and many Filipinos accom-
panied Bellarmino, who gave himself
up to Col. Theo. J.. Wint of the sixth
cavalry.
In all, since June, 1897 insurgents
have surrendered in that district.
Col. Wint's regiment came from China
with General Chaffee. Before disem-
barking at Legaspi Col. Wint went
to Gen. Chaffee and asked the latter
Il he desired him to clean up that
part OF the country. Gen. Chaffee
answered. Eyes, but do not com
mand until July A. In three weeks
Bellarmino was cornered in spite OF
the theories of many officers that
cavalry could not be used in effective
operations in such a country.

WIeSAcu tue SdIe but the money dulI
Withstood Their Efforts.
Kansas City, Mo, July Ga special
from Stroud Ok, says:
An unsuccessful attempt was made
about half-past two O'Clock this
morning by three masked men TO rob
the Stroud State Bank The robbers
entered the room next to the bank,
where Amos Seaton, assistant cashier
and Earl Heath were asleep.
The young men were awakened and
bound hand and foot, and told that
il they made a noise they would be
shot by the fellow who stood over
them with a gun.
The robbers injected nitro-glycerine
into the safe three times and the ex-
plosions almost totally destroyed
the safe, but they failed TO get to the
money vault.
They relieved Heath and Seaton of
their watches and a small amount OF
money. Heath begged for his watch
on account of it being a keepsake.
and it was given back TO him.

Farm Hands Strange Suicide.

Nevada, Mo, July Cone of the
strangest suicides that ever took
place in this section occurred last
night. James Watson, a farmer
living five miles southwest of Nevada,
had in his employ a young man
named Jesse Richardson and the
latter worked all day yesterday
moving hay. At about quitting
time he unhitched his team from the
mower, then to his own neck and one
OF his ankles he attached a rope and
made this fast to one of the horses
BY some means he succeeded in
frightening the animals and away
they sped over rocks and stumps for
home. The man was dragged in this
manner distance of two miles and
of course met a horrible death. What
caused the rash act is a mystery that
will never be known, as Richardson
was in good spirits when last seen
alive and left nothing to Indicate the
cause of his deed. The only theory
that appears feasible is that he be-
came demented from working in the
extreme heat, which had been over
100 in the shade here for ten days,
and took his own life in fit of tenn
porary insanity.
