TWO CHILDREN MURDERED
WAYLAlD WHILE COMING HOME
FROM CHURCH.
Both Children Had Been Pounded on
the Head by Some Blunt
Instrument.

Des Moines. Iowa, April 14.-Whife
returning home from Highland Park
Methodist church. on the north out
skirts Of the city last evening, Mary
Peterson. Is years of age, and Thomas,
aged II, children Of Peter j. Peterson,
a wel-to-do dairyman. were murder
ed by some unknown person, beffev-
ed to be a negro.
The boy, when found Il midnight,
was alive, but died in Is minutes, not
being able to give a description Of his
assailant. The bodies were discover
ed by a farmer. who overheard the
means of the lad.
An Investigation revealed the fact
that both children had their heads
crushed. The police so far are with
out a clew.
The body of the girl was found at
the foot Of a telegraph pole, in a ditch
two feet deep. She had been ill-treat-
ed by her assailant.
At the base Of the head she had
been hit with some hard instrument,
resulting in the ~fracturing Of the skull
On the crown of the head there ere
four or five indentations, all Of which
would have proven serious II not fatal.
Not a brick or IN instrument can be
found within the region where the
murders occurred.
The boy, who was found in the
ditch on the opposite side Of the road,
was most cruelty treated. Fully half
a dozen identations were made in
the skull and his face also showed
evidence of having been pounded.
The Peterson family consists of
seven children. Two Of the girls now
living declare they were chased at
the same spot by a man On their re-

WARDE STOPS The PLAY
WON'T STAND FOR GALLERY
GODS INSULT.
Star Orders the Curtain Rung Dow
and Dramatically Expresses
His Opinion.

Butte, April 14.-As Frederick
Warde in the part Of Othello, at SUIT
toms Broadway theatre Saturday
night, stopped to kiss Desdemona ere
he plunged the dagger into her breast,
someone in the audience or gallery
made a smacking noise simultaneous
ly with the kiss.
The incident caused a burst Of
laughter from the gallery and a sup
pressed litter in the parquet and from
the boxes, which were ileed with the
elite of the city.
Mr.. Warde in a most dramatic man
ner drew himself up from the cot and
holding out his hands to attract the
attention of the stage manager, said:
ring down that curtain"
The command was not understood
at first, and Mr.. Warde again repeat
ed it in a loud voice.
AS the curtain started to unfurl, Mr..
Warde stepped to the footlights and
said:
"If the dirty BLACKBOARD who made
that noise will leave the theatre, l
will proceed with the last act of this
play. Neither myself nor a member
of my company will tolerate an insult
Of the kind"
There was a profound silence in the
theatre and at first the audience did
not realize that the declaration made
by Mr.. Warde was not a part Of the
performance, SO dramatic and EN-
phatic did he denounce the person
who had made the noise which had
spoiled the effect of one of the mos
impressive scenes in the play.
The curtain was again rung up and
Mr.. Warde proceeded with the las
act, taking up his lines with as much
composure as if he had not been in
terrupted, and closed with the carry
ing out of the tragedy of the jealou.

ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES
Income Tax Has Been Increased as
Va
Are Also the Duties on Wheat and
Other Necessities.

London, April 14.-The, statement
showing the. revenues and expendi.
lures presented in the house OF com
mons today by the chancellor Of the
exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach.
when opening the budget announce
ments, showed a total ordinary ex-
penditure for 1902-3, estimated at
9129,159,000, with war charges
amounting to e45,45O,0 900, making a
grand total of eta, 609, 900, which is
s12, 993, 900 below the total for
1902.
The chancellor of the excheouer es-
Inmates the total deficit for the present
year at e26.824,OOO. To the deficit
must be added 16 to II millions adj
ditional war expenditures. The chan.
cellor said if he had hopes OF a happy
result from the conferences in South
Africa he had put them aside. Prepar-
alton for the continuance of the war
were the best guarantee Of peace. The
income tax is increased a penny in
the pound sterling. He estimated the
wal evenue for this year, ON the basis
of the present taxation, at s147,7S5,-
900, not including the cost of graf
uities at the end of the war, the trans
porting Of troops home, etc.
There is nc increase on the duty on
sugar. The sinking fund is to be sus-
pended. The grand total Of, the deficit
is s45, 900, 1000. A penny tax is fmpos-
ed on dividend warrants and two
penny stamps must be placed ON
checks instead of n penny, as here
tofore.
A duty OF five pence per hundred
weight is imposed on flour. The sum
of e32, O00, 1000 will be borrowed.
The chancellor of the ~exchequer de-
MED that the registration of duties
on wheat (not corn, as previously but
letfned)~ and flour violated the prin-
cipFes of free trade or would increase
the cost of food. He thought the
duties had been recklessly Abandoned
and declared their remission did not
reduce the price Of food.
The duty on meat is five pence per
hundredweight.
The revenue from the new taxation
is expected to be G5,160,00O. After
borrowing Esq., 600, 900, the chancellor
of the exchequer will make up the
deficit by drafts on the exchequer.
A duty of three pence per hundred.
weight is imposed on all imported

LORD %k|TCHENER'S REPORT
British Success in T~ransvaal and Re-
verse in the Orange River
Colony.

London, April 14:-News of severe
fighting in the Transvaal at the enc
OF last week has been SEM by Lore

hundred Beers were killed, wounded
or captured. There were about a hun
dred British casualties. The British
also captured three guns and a quaint.

gieters was among the Beers killed,
Lord Kitchener, in a dispatch dated
from Pretoria Sunday, April 10, re-
counts how Colonel Colenbrander, at
ter locating Commandant Beyer's
lager at Pzelkop, moved his force,
by different routes, from Petersburg,
Transvaal.. blocking the principal lines
of retreat. The fighting commenced
April s, when the Inniskilling fusi-
leers attacked Molipspoort, covering
the Boer position, and by dusk had
seized a hill eastward of the poort,
after considerable opposition, result
ing in Colonel Murray being wounded
and Lieutenant Lincoln being killed.
Another officer and five men were
wounded. Since then the operations
have continued daily. Co~lenbrander's
latest report, April IL, gave the Boer
losses in killed, wounded and prison
ers at 1Q6 men. The colonel hoped to
be able to report further captures.
The most severe fighting occurred
April IL. in western Transvaal, where
General Ian Hamilton has replaced
General Methuen in command of the
British troops. The Beers attacked
Colonel Kekewich's forces near Roof
wal n fighting at close quarters en-
sued. The Beers were repulsed, leay-
ing on the field A men killed, includ-
n Commandan Potgieters, and 81
wounded, The British captured 20
unwounded prisoners.
Ian Hamilton was pursuing the re-
mainder of the Boer command. The
British losses in this fight were six
men killed and 50 wounded. At the
beginning of the pursuit Colonel Keke- |
witch captured two guns, a pompom,
a quantity of ammunition and a num-
Der of wagons.
A force of Beers recently over
whelmed a strong British patrol sent
out from Bultfontein, Orange Free
State. An officer and two men were
killed, IA men wounded and the re-
naming members of the patrol were
surrounded and captured. Lord Kitch-

0. P. Gentry, Governor Dockery's
private secretary, returned today from
Lathrop, Mo, where he was sent un.

| cation of the charges that a British
post is being maintained there to sup.
ply horses and mules for the British
army in South Africa.
Governor Dockery forwarded the
secretary's report to Senator Cockrell
at Washington this afternoon with the
request that the senator lay the mat
ter before congress. In his report Mr..
Gentry says that the firm of Guyton
& Harrington owns the sheds and land
at the post, according to the state.
ments of the county officers. He con-
tinues:
Il was informed that the firm ship
ped $4,000 head of horses and mules
during the last year, most of them
destined for South Africa. From ap-
pearances, it looks very much like the
business is largely conducted under
British auspices.
1T is claimed, however, that all the
compensation received by the firm is
IS cents a day for the care of each
horse and mule fed for the British gov
eminent.
1T is not my province to offer any
suggestions as to whether interna-
tional law has been violated. That
question is obviously one to be determ-
ined by the United States govern
ment."

Mr.. Skinner then stated that Man
