PoLICEMEN ON THE GROUND.

1t was 5 o'clock when Bicycle Policemen
Morgan and Simon rode up to the front of
the house They were taken into the cellar
by young Berry. Morgan struck match,
and on peering closely into the faces of the
dead people saw at once that it was case
of murder and suicide. Pruitt was lying
across the body of his wife, who was lying
the floor on her right side. Pruitt's
arms almost encircled his wife Both were
lying in pool of blood.
When the police turned to young Berry
and told him that serious accident had
befallen his father and mother the boy re-
mained calm. Turning TO Morgan he said
with deep sigh, We'll, this is what / have
expected for some time. It's over now and
may her soul rest in peace" With these
words the little fellow walked from the
awful sight without shedding tear.
Morgan at once notified the police sta
ton of the state of affairs and in a few
minutes Superintendent Taffe, Captain Hy-
land and a number OF patrolmen were at
the house. A lamp was brought from the
upstairs by Miss Lucy Morgan, a roomer
at the house, and an investigation made.
Underneath Pruitt's arms was .3S-caliber
American bulldog revolver with one cham
ber empty, while a few feet away were a
small hammer and another .3s-caliber re-
volver. both spotted with blood. The lat
ter weapon was loaded with six bullets.
1t appeared that Pruitt had killed his
wife while she was at work over a wash
tub. She was dressed In a green satin
waist, white collar and heavy woolen skirt.
The skirt was drawn up and fastened TO
her belt Her sleeves were rolled up above
the elbow. A few feet from where the
bodies were lying were two tubs, one filled
with water. and the other with clothes
to be washed On the washboard was a
half-washed towel 1t Is thought that
Pruit: came into the cellar while his wife
was at work and renewed their old quarrel.
In the heat of the argument he assaulted
Mrs Pruitt. Two large holes were found
in the front part of her skull. Both eyes

Others Renin to See


The advocates of the Democratic ma
tional platforms of 1896 and 1900 have
been continually referred to by Repub-
licans as ''Populists.' They have been
continually charged with "contribut-
ing to the disquiet of the people, with
seeking to make the people discon-
tented and with attacking property"
But the time has arrived when others
than Democrats give warning that the
big monopolies are forcing The country
toward government ownership. Refer
ring to the great railroad trusts, the
Chicago Tribune one of the most stall
wart Republican organs in the West
says editorially:
IAN issue Of tremendous consequence
is thus being brought to the whole
country 1t is a matter OF conjecture
if these railroad and financial manipu-
latOrs comprehend what this issue is.
The failure of full and effective gov
eminent regulation which the roads
have so far succeeded in breaking down
means government ownership, nothing
less than that. And toward Just thdt
conclusion the combinations are fore.
ing the country. 1t will be great mis-.
take to suppose that the present pa.

nation of monopoly is test of what

Elton and bolero suits constitute one OF
the features OF winter attire that are to

Bone Meal for Cows.

Dairymen are looking into the ques-
ton of feeding their cows bone meal
as part of the daily ration, in order
10 supply lime and bone making ma
ycriIl. This same question is also in
tcresting those who raise hogs in large
numbers. At this time few conclusive
experiments are on record. hence the
only advice that can be given is to Try
the plan with both cows and hogs that
are fed largely on corn ration. and
note the results. There Is little doubt
but what results win be beneficial for
stock that consume considerable succu-
lent food, but the well balanced grain
ration ought to give the desired results
with cows without reSorting rs the
bone meal experiment. As a rule. there
is too much feeding of bulk during the
winter and no. enough variety in the
ration. and farmers will not get all
there is out Of feeding until they work
slut for themselves one or more bal
aneed rations FOR their herds.

The Farm Horse.

Mr.. WI. j. Oyerton, of Illinois, writes
to the Breeders Gazette, that he does
not believe the place for the draft
horse Isl ON American farms He has
raised some of the largest and best
draft horses in the county, and sold
them at the yards at figures not
reached by any other draft horse in
six months, but he never could get
the work out of them that he could
get out Of a gOod-siZed American horse
with as much Morgan blood as he
could get When they tried to breed
their small or medium sized mares to
the draft horses they thought they
wanted larger horses. They got them
larger in some parts. 1t might be in
the legs, the head or the body, but
usually not all in one colt. No one
will claim that they have as good
wearing breed Of horses as they had
twenty years ago. "The farmer who
only raises colts for his own use, with
now and then one to sell, had better
stay by the good-sized, smooth, Amer
ican-brcd horse" he says.

Terrible Experience of American Ma
riues on. leland of Samar.
The detailed story Of the suffering Of
Captain David ID. Porter and his thirty
six marines in the interior Of the Island
Of Samar has just been learned. The
men went for several days without food
and in their desperation killed two dogs
and devoured the flesh raw.
The marines took with them food to
last only FIVE days, expecting to return
within that time. The expedition was de-
layed and the natives who accompanied
them claimed they were unable to distin-
guish the edible roots from the injuri-
Gus ones This the mariIes did not be-
lieye, and their anger against the natives
was so intense that none Of the latter re-
turned with them.
Captain Porter, with three men
brought the first news OF the unhappy ex-
perience. The four men were delirious
when they first reached the camp, and
It was some time before they could give
any intelligent news Of their comrades
Williams Of the First infantry led the
relief expedition and succeeded in reach
ing the remaining ten men. in spite Of the
fearful rainst0rm which flooded all the
rivers. In a few hours more the mea
must have persisted. As it was, they
were all dclirious and some Of them so
weak that their recovery is doubtful

in their possession, for now is the hour.
Black and white striped velvet is used
with God effect on gowns of pale blue
cloth.
Black and white continues to be a IA
vorite combination for afternoon and

Shoulder straps made of ribbons, feath-

feature on evening gowns.
The large picturesque hat, raised off
the head at the front and side by loops
of ribbon, is popular mode.
The glinting metallic shades that ap-
pear in some of the new hats, neck pieces

Stirring is seen again on waists and
costumes made of satin, velvet and chif-
fon. The shirrs are drawn up to form
yokes, or the material is gathered length
wise in series of loose puffs. The latter

der figures.
Evening gowns are lower than last

short, of elbow length or a mere sugges-

Relmont,s Defeat.

One Of the most grotesque and pre-
posterous Democratic nominations ever
made was that Of Perry Belmont to
fill the vacancy in the Seventh Con
gressional District in New York city.
Ever since 1896 there has been nothing
too mean for Mr. Belmont to say of
Mr. Bryan and of both the Chicago and
the Kansas City platforms. Belmont
does not live in the Seventh Congress
slonal District, but that district had
1900 Democratic majority in 1898, and
it seemed good one to run in As it
is not necessary for a Congressional
candidate to be a resident of the dis
trict in which he is nominated in order
to be eligible for the office. Mr.. Bel
mont was not obliged to seek nomina-
ton in his own district. The New York
World says the vacancy in the Seventh
District came about in a manner "toe
obvious to be a mystery" Mr.. Bel
mont's success in finally obtaining rec
ognition as the regular Democratic can
didate was also won by methods too
obvious to be mysterious. The election
last Tuesday proved, however. that the
voters of the Seventh District preferred
Republican Representative to a
Democrat of Mr.. Belmonts strife. He
was defeated by 394 majority. There
are many things that money can do
but there are yet some things it can
not do-Democrat, Ithlca, n. Y.
