who bought the candy on their

dull i'll the class room. Invcsti-
cation showed they were intoX;-

Gen. w. il, l.. Barnes, although the
last speaker at the dinner given last
night to r. H. Hartman president OF
the Southern Pacific, made the clever
est and wittlest speech Of the evening
speech which startled the audience
and caused them TO wonder whether

those 100 miles and the rest OF the road

Sam was paying for railroad tracks, so
much per mile, and he was not on to

curve was as good as a straight line to
a generous government, and Uncle Sam
got few curves, for the curve Is the
line of beauty and a straight line might
have been monotonous.

announcement was made by the broker

AtrociOus Murder.

Dss Moines, l., April 14.-Ooe OF the
most atroclous murders in the history
OF Des Moines was disclosed last night
when the bodies OF a 16.year.old girl
and l4.year-old boy were found lying
Ia lonely road northeast OF Highland
Park College. The heads OF both had
been crushed with some blunt instru.
ment. The girl was dead and the boy
died Is minutes later. He was uncon'
scious until death. A negro was seen
running from the scene OF the crime.
The children were subsequently, iden-
fled as Lena and Thomas Peterson,
the children oil Peter ]. Peterson, q
dairymsn, residing quarter Of mile
northeast Of the college. One body
was found on each side OF the road.
They were on their way home from the
Methodist Church, when the crime was
committed. The motive for the assault
is supposed to have been a desire to
rsvish the girl and the boy was killed
for the purpose Of preventing exposure.
The negro was seen walking rapidly
mile from the scene. Investigation dis.
closed that the girl had been outraged.
The ground showed marks of q long
struggle. The boy was wounded 10
numerous places on the body showing
he had fought vAllsntly in defence OF
his sister. Threats of lynchiug are so
frequent that it is doubtful II one can
be aVerted 10 case the guilty person is
found.

AN OPINION rendered last week by
Justice Hsgner Of the Supreme Court
of the District OF Columbia will not be
received with JOY by the Elk hundred
or more applicants who have fled petit
tions for divorce. The new District
code, which became effective on Janu-
airy l, limited the ground for granting
divorce to one offence, and immediately
before the first OF the year there Was q
great rush to file petitions under the
old law. which allowed divorce for de-
sertiop, cruelty and drunkenness.
More than 800 applications based on
one or more of these grounds were
fled Oh December so and 81. Judge
Hsgner holds that, although these suits
were instituted before the new law
went into effect, yet none OF those
based on any other ground then adult
cry can now be considered.
