PROVIDING FOR MRS. MCKINLEY.

Newspapers represent that the
late President Mckinley left and es-
tate of about S250000, all OF when
goes to his widow, there being no
children. Very properly, all expenses
incident to the Presidents death ana
burial, will be borne by the govern
ment, and pursuant to an approved
custom, the balance of the preslden-
tial salary for the year in which ne
died To the Ith Of next March, will
be paid TO the widow. Thus, 1t Is
gratifying to know, that Mrs. Mcklh'

the remaining years OF her HE

the Mckinley estate will be $1,000 to

Mckinley, it il fairly to be assumed
that such an income will be ample
for all her wants, leaving the estate
undiminished at her death. why
should the government add to TINS

that party. The Chronicle says: VII
the state tax commission has any
further recommendation already
made. such recommendations should
be submitted to the public early IN
the coming year so that each pollt-
zeal party, can, II they see ut, put
such recommendation IN the form
Of "A legislative bill and make the bill
part Of their party platform. rms
would be an initiatory referendum OF
the right sort"
This is certainly fair proposition
and seems to have been made in good
faith. The opponents of the tax re-
form bills which were introduced at
the last legislative session ad-
vanced "A number of reasons for their
opposition, one Of them being that
the measures were not endorsed or
demanded by the people, and further
that the state tax commission had
not pursued its Investigations lar
enough to make definite and com
plete recommendation on the subject
1t is obvious that both OF these
may be met if the above suggestion
is carried out. The tax commission
will have had another year to reach
more definite conclusions regarding
the most advisable course to be pur-
sued in order to attain the desired
end, and if such recommendations
can be submitted to the public early
next year as suggested 1t Will FUR
nish an opportunity for free discus
cussion of the subject, after which
either one or both parties can moor
porate the essential points of such
suggestions in their platforms ana
the voters OF the state can then ex'
press themselves in II way which
will make their preferences In the
matter distinctly understood.

AWFUL TRAGEDY IN GEORGIA.
Mrs. H. NJ. wilson, a Young widow. MUIR
dered by VIM. Hamilton, Who
Suicide.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 19.-The dead
bodies of Mrs. Fl. NJ. Wilson, a young
widow, and William Hamilton. a stu
dent in pharmacy, who disappeared
from Atlanta one week ago yesterday,
we're found Sunday night one mile
from the end of the Chattahoochee
ear line. The surroundings indicated
that Hamilton had killed Mrs. Wilson,
set fire t. the woods near her body
and then ended his own life. Both
bodies were badly burned. and rested
upon breastworks thrown up By the
confederates to stem the advance OF
the federal army on Atlanta in the
war of the rebellion.
The bodies were found by two ne
groes, who, being unable to impress
ments Sunday night, did not press the
matter until yesterday.
There was a bullet wound through
Mrs. Wilson's right hand and another
in the right temple. The left foot was
burned entirely off, the flames had de-
stroyed her hair and her left hand was
burned, save for one finger, which
pore a wedding ring.
BY the side of Hamilton was found
a revolver and an empty cigarette box.
There was a hole in Hamilton's left
temple and a few inches from his left
hand lay a small mirror, evidently
used tt direct the bullet.
When Mrs. Wilson left her mothers
home, one week ago, she wore only a
morning gown of light material and a
light dressing saqIle. She was without
a hat and her feet encased in
slippers.
Hamilton came to Atlanta from
Mobile. His tuition and expenses at
college here have been paid by Mrs.
Fl. M. Goodam, of that city, according
to a recent letter from her to Mrs.
Wilson. 1t is known that Hamilton has
been devoted to Mrs. Wilson for some
time, but her parents assert that she
gave him no encouragement.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 1S.-Mrs. Nation
is now in the county Jail as a result
of her trial On a peace warrant before
Judge Hazen to-day. The warrant
was sworn to by the Moeser Colo
Storage Co, whose plant Mrs. Nation
entered yesterday morning.
Mrs. Nation acted as her w attor-
ney.
Judge Hazen placed her under $4,000
bond to keep the peace, and ordered
her to appear before him at the next
term of court. -iIrs. Nation refused tC
give bond. and she said she would &C

hospital room of the county Jail
where she will probably remain for
some time.
In the city court this morning argu.
mcnts were waived in the case brought
against Mrs. Nation by the proprie,
tors of the wrecked Senate saloon
Judge McCabe said he would take the
matter under adviSement until Thurs.
day morning.
1t is not likely that Mrs. Nation viii.

Judge Hazen tonight placed Cal
Mcdonald, Mrs. Rose Crist and Miss
Madeline Southland under peace bonds
McDonald's bond is $1,000; the Others
are $500 each. The judge delivered 6
scathing address to the three Nation
l~ieutenants. He expressed the opinion
that Mrs. Nation is insane and that
those persons who encourage hel
methods of reform ought to be
ashamed of themselves.

Berlin, Feb. 16.-Herr Bebel's speech

China, he said, was the 'meanest and
most shameful which Prussia had
waged in 200 years. He read a mum

support of this assertion, declaring
hat it a almost incredible that
such brutality, lower than that among
beasts, can survive in Christian Ger

But. of course" exclaimed Herr
Bebel, when the injunction went
forth from the kaiser that no prison
ers should be taken, it was no wonder
that the troops behaved like Huns"
Herr Bebel was repeatedly called to
order by the president of the reichs-
tag. Gen. Won Gossler promised to
prosecute all papers which printed
letters from China derogatory to the
German troops.

Stelp, who had served as a juror on
a murder case, worried himself in-

wandered away. He had evidently
been dead several days. The alleged
