Her Devotion to Husband ImpcIs Her

Pretty Beatrice Philburn, charged

wept bitterly when arrested at Battle

Bob, or Robert W. Philburn. is fur

Beatrice with his mother at Cleveland

AUTOMOBILE LAWN-MOWER.
New Machine Which Cuts the Green
sward on Capitol Hill at
Washington.

An automobile lawn mower has
been set to work on the greensward
of Capitol Hill at Washington. The
new machine resembles both steam
road roller and a steamboat whistle.
A huge brass dome, surmounted with
a brass smokestack, is mounted on q
pair of rollers. Ahead of the front
roller is fixed lawn mower mechan-
ism, over which sits the Chauffeur.
The little machine puffs up the hills
and swings around and goes down
again, while the grass flies up in
front like a green mountain. 1t cuts
about three times the amount of
grass that can be laid low by the old
one-horse machine, which it super
seeded. The advantage which is
claimed for the mower is that the
roller passing over the ground after
the grass has been cut brushes down
the weeds and kills them.

Arthur Wadsworth, Company A.,
Eighteenth regiment, was arrested
this morning on a charge OF having
murdered William Durham to Shenan
doah, while the regiment was on duty
there during the strike. The case
was taken to the supreme court.
This Is the first time a high legal
body has been asked to draw the line
between civil and military law. Ma
tional guard officers put up the de-
tense that Wadsworth killed the man
in the discharge of duty and upon
orders OF his superior officer. The
decision in this case will effect the en-
tire national guard Of the country,
sh owing the status OF state militia
and it's powers when in the field.

OVERWHELMINGLY DEMOCRATIC.
Gov. DOckery Congratulates Missouri
Democracy.

Jefferson City, Nov. S.-Governor
Dockery, commenting upon the re-
suit Of last Tuesdays election this
m orning, had the following to say:
81 congratulate the Democracy OF
Missouri upon the signal and over
whelming triumph of last Tuesday.
1t was Waterloo, Sedan and Pultowa
all in one for the Republicans The
Democracy carried the state, accord
ing to the careful estimate OF Secre-
tary Cook, by a probable plurality
in excess OF 10000, the largest
plurality recorded for the Democracy
since 1880. Both houses OF the leg
islature are Democratic, and the ma
iority on Joint ballot will range be-
tween thirty and forty. Fifteen OF
the sixteen congressman elected are
Democrats. The school fund amend
ment has undoubtedly received the
approval of the people by an en-
phatic majority. These most graft
flying results have been achieved, al
though Missouri had the most dis.
NAL, dreary election day since the
election day Of 1860. The honor of
the state has been fully indicated.
Missouri is state of wonderful re-
sources. IL is high honor to be in
trusted with the management Of
such glorious commonwealth. We
must still go forward in the main of
broad liberal and progressive poll
cies."
