Milwaukee. Wis. Feb. 1s-No more
atrocious murder than that which Carl voy
committed as a prelude to his own suicide
has ever been perpetrated in this State.
1t was one which. for cool design and
brutal execution has never been sxcslied.
In q word. II vas diaboiicai.
The victim was his wife: the motive was
jealousy Of her first husband, who had
been dead four years.
At the time of the murder Mrs voy was
seated with her newborn infant at her
breast.
The blood which gushed from the wound
in her heart spurted into the babes face
and had almost strangled II when neighbors
came and took 1t from the closs clasp OF its
dead mothers arms.
The maddened man tried to kill Alfred.
the f-year-old son Of his wife and the child
whose resemblance to his dead father
stirred into life all the brutishness of tho
stepfather's nature
But the little one broke from him ana ran
After voy had left his wife dead he
drunkenly careensd toward the bedroom,
and, standing before a mirror. tried to cut
his throat with the knife which was stin
reeking with his wifes blood.
But the weapon was dull. and II only tore
the skin.
voy threw 1t from him and took newly
whetted razor from shelf.
There was no time to lose. for the screams
Of little Alfred were loud. and neighbors
must soon hear them and come to learn the
cause.
voy drew the razor across his throat The
keen blade sank deep, and the life blood
spurted out as the 1ugular vein was severed.
A second later two or three neighbor
women ran into the house.
They were met by little Alfred. His hands.
dyed In his mothers blood, had been thrust
into his eyes to stop his tears Of grief and
fright, and crimson streaks covered his face.
He cried to the women that his mamma

COMMERCIAL SUPREMACY.

Tacoma Evening News.
The statesmen of the world are abb
sorbed in studying the one great prob
lem of con rnercial supremacy. That is
the paramount question Of the present
age. not only for merchants and manu-
facturers. but for the trained states
men and diplomats of the leading gov
crnments Of the earth. The armies and
navies Of the great powers are en-
ployed not so much for the purpose Of
conquest as for the maintenance Of
peace ard the promotion Of trade and
the extension Of commercial relations
Legislation is framed in almost every
country with view of securing con-
troll Of kome markets. while diplomacy
seeks to open doors for foreign trade.
In the contest for supremacy four
great powers are earnestly contending,
Great Britain, Germany Russia and the
United States. Our own country may
be said TO have entered the lists as a
competitor of all Europe. Russian plans
are quite as ambitious as our own. In
deed there are some observers who
think that in the final struggle for su-
premacy the Slav will be pitted against
The American. There is no question
that Germany and Great Britain are

GOOD ROADS INVALUABLE.

Prof. |. o. Barker Of the University
of Illinois, member Of the American
Society of Civil Engineering, has made
an exhaustive study of road-building
from scientific as well as from prac-
teal and social standpoint He has not
only mastered the work Of road con-
struction on a scientific basis but has
thoroughly studied the financial and
social advantages Of well-built roads,
In summarizing these he finds eight
important financial and six social ad-
vantages accruing to the community
where such roads are established. Good
roads. he states:
l.-Decrease the cost of transporta-
tion-at some seasons only little, and
at others very considerably
Give wider choice Of time Of
marketing crops.
S.-Give wider choice Of the market
place.
4.-Decrease the cost of miscellaneous
travel.
5.-Permit sale of products that might
otherwise go to waste.
s-Tend to equalize railroad traffic
between the seasons of the year.
TEND to equalize the produce mar
ket between different climatic condi-
tions.
S.-Permit the cultivation of crops
not otherwise marketable.
add to the comfort and pleasure
OF travel.
l0.-Permit more easy intercourse be-
tween farmers and between rural and
urban populations. This is an import
ant benefit, particularly in a republican
form Of government.
11.-Facilitate the consolidation of
rural schools. This is an important
advantage, particularly to the coming
generation.
l2.-Facilitate rural mail delivery.
lS.-Improve the sanitary conditions,
particularly in villages and towns.
I4.-Improve the appearance of The
highway.
In regard to the vdntages Of
good roads, Prof. Barker says:
Too much attention has been given
to the supposed direct financial advant-
ages of good roads. to the exclusion Of
the social advantages. Good roads are
desirable for the same reason that a
man buys a carriage or builds fine
house, l. e, because they are a comfort
and pleasure. Good roads ere to be
urged for the same reason that good
schools are maintained, i. e., because
they increase the intelligence and value
of the citizens to society"
Properly constructed roads from As
tOria To the rich territory adjacent |
would bring to us and to the country !
thus tapped not only most Of the ad- |
vantages which Prof Barker has nam !
ed but large share Of the business !
which railroad lines are otherwise like /
" to divert TO Portland.
