WOMAN coNFEssEs MURDER.
Mrs. Bonnie SAYS she Killed Ayres
in Defending Her Honor.


Washington, May e0-The mystery
attending the kiillng,of James Seymoui
Ayres, a census office clerk, in the KEN
more hotsl, early last Wednesday
morning. and which because of the pc.
culiar circumstances surrounding 4
has aroused Washington more than
any tragedy in several years, was soly-
ed yesterday by voluntary confession
from Mrs. Lulu T. Bonnie, married
woman, and guest at the house, that
she had fred the three shots which
ended Ayres' life. Mrs. Bonnie, whnse
husband is drummer for the whnle-
sale drug house of Dewitt & Co, OF
Chicago, explained her presence ir
Ayres room at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing by saying that he had come b her
room complaining OF a chill and ask
ing for medicine, and had induced her
to follow him 20 his room to talk over
some matters of difference there had
been between them.
she said that she dressed herself In
wrapper and went to his room. He
had preceded her, and when she opened
the door and walked in he quickly
closed it and informed her he had EN-
ticed her to the room for his own pur-
poses and said If she did not submit to
his wishes he would kill her. Ayres,
she said was addressed, and had a re-
volver in his hand and in a struggle for
its possession 1t was discharged three
different times, the shots striking
Ayres at each discharge, the last one
proving fatal.
Mrs. Bonine declared that she had
never been intimate with Ayres. but
that when she went into the room that
night he made a proposition to her
which she resented. This was the first
time he had ever made such a propo-
sition. Prior to March he had some
times been affectionate In his remarks
but had never made any sort OF i'm
proper proposition. She declared that
the reason why she had not said any
thing about the crime before was that
she wanted to preserve the good name
of her two boys.

Trolley Passengers, Marrow Escape.

Paterson, N. j., May 21.--About &c
trolley passengers had very narrow
escape from death yesterday near this
city. Coming down the steep incline
at Totowa overlooking the river from
precipice over 40 feet high, the car
left the track and made straight for
the precipice. Fortunately the jolt OF
the car on leaving the tracks threw the
passengers into heap in the front. The
car, thus weighted down on the front
trucks, came to standstill on the
brink of the cliff. Part of the trolley
car projected over the track.

Many Wonder.

Many wonder how it is that pin worms
and stomach worms get into little chill
dren, or how tape worm 300 feet long
can get in and exist and grow inside of
man, as it sometimes happens. They
may we'll wonder, for it is a graat mys-
terry. However, many now know from
experience that Mothers Worm Syrup
will rid one of intestinal worms and
greatly improve the health after the
worms have been destroyed and expell-
ed. 1t is absolutely harmless remedy
to take, and as it only costs % cents, all
should try it who suspect worms to be
the cause of their i'll health.

Health and Beauty.

A poor complexion is usually the re-
suit of a torpid liver or irregular action

of throwing off the poisons which the
bowels failed to remove. DeWitts Lit

INJURY TOCORN
BEYOND REPAIR.
Temperature Remains Over
The 100 Mark
LITTLE PROMISE OF RAIN
Over SeVentV-Iiye Per Cent. Of the
Crops Is Damaged in Kansas
Alone

New York, July 24.-There is every
reason for believing that the early
reports Of damage TO the corn crop by
the drouth have not been exaggerated.
On the contrary, It is quite evident
that the situation is very much worse
than at first reported, and that now
much Of the injury is beyond repair.
The region of worst damage lies
within an irregular circle of about GOO
miles in diameter, with st. Joseph,
Mo, as an approximate centre.
The following question was sent to
a large number of bank presidents in
Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas
by The Journal of Commerce:
KINDLY wire your opinion Of per-
centage of damage to corn and live
stock by drouth in your vicinity"
The answers indicate very serious
losses in the region specified. In Kan
sas many report IS per cent, damage
10 corn; in Missouri the majority Of
reports are between 30 and rs per cent.
damage in Nebraska the reports are
generally between 33 and so per cent.
damage, while in Iowa the injury is
generally between 25 and 30 per cent.
It would seem from the returns
given that a loss OF so per cent. in this
district would be an exceedingly mod
crate estimate. This would indicate a
loss of at least 312,OOO00O bushels in
the region OF greatest drouth, and
probably considerably more. It should
be borne in mind that these figures
and reports refer only to the small dis
trict of greatest damage. No attempt
has been made to ascertain the injury
elsewhere. The damage to live stock
is considerable in Missouri and Kan
sas, but very slight in Iowa and Ne
braslia.
