at 6 80 Mrs. Giles Burdett called at
Nineteenth street and East avenue the
residence Of her young married daugh-

Mrs, Walkers head was almost sew

desperately for her life. She was a

Notwithstanding the evidence of her
stubborn fight her features were com

saturated her garments and the bed

tragedy had not begun in the bed. The
walls were spattered with blood. and
there must have been a prolonged
hsttle between the frail woman anu
the strong man who snapped her nm

A butcher knife lying near told the

beside Mrs. Waxler on the bed was
her husband J. F. Walker, aged 20
with his throat cut, but betraying no

A note signed by the husband stated
that the couple wished to die together

with the report thereon of Captain H.

veritable hornets nest. The admins

The point which Is giving him and
his followers the most concern Is their
inability to ascertain where the Texas

1t is particularly CALLING to Roosevelt,

AS a result of the conference be-

that the papers in the Weir case had
passed through but four branches OF

they were recorded In the Office Of the

army headquarters for the information
of General Miles.
They were next sent to the Judge

He Wasn't There Yet.

Wherever one may so, in factory,
Office or store, there are always some
employees who no matter if they reach
their places of employment ahead of
time, in the morning or at noon, make
it a point never to begin work until the
clock strikes, the whistle blows or the
bell rings.
Shortly before o'clock few days
ago a saleswoman in a large dry goods
store n this city, having made n sale,
had occasion to call for Il cash boy.
No one responded to her summons.
Just then she espied q boy sitting a
short distance from where she stood.
'Here, boy" said she to the little fel-
low, "take this to the counter and have
it done up"

using hundreds OF wagons here and at
Its branch houses is gradually replacing
the horse with the mule.
In the Southern cotton fields the mule
is used nearly exclusively, and not
because the Southerner has less love
for a horse, but because the mule alone
can stand the work. They are bought
in Kansas City by dealers from the
cotton section, and sold to negro ten
ants. From then on the mule hustles
largely for himself. The small negro
farmer gives him no corn. little food
and many beatings. Ihe ten-bale cot
ton field is the one experience that
makes the animal die young, Three to
five years of clubbings and nearly abb
solute self-support end the life of hard
ship and injustice. A horse generally
lasts a year in the same surroundings.
The Boer war served to make the
mule of higher market value than the
everyday draft horse, but at the same
time brought new charge against his
intelligence. Some English General
laid the loss of a battery to the fact
that the mules, when hit, ran straight
to the Boer lines, carrying the guns
with them. Had the English troops
not been surprised" said one of the
men at the market, ''those animals
would never have carried the cannon
away. AS usual the British were
marching with their eyes shut, and
when the mules We're hit they ran
straight ahead. With the battery in
action the animals would have been
unlocked and behind the guns. In that
case the runaway would have been to-
ward home. I'll admit horses, after
having been wounded, would not have
run away with the guns. They would
have fallen and kicked one another
to death. That English officer should
have blamed himself and his scouts
for the loss of his battery. Still, We
can't expect mules to suplant horses
in war-they don't look well in poetry"

CUTTING SIMPLoN TUNNEL.
Work Going on-Great Eoring Should
be Open In 1904.

Very great progress has been made
with the tunnel under the Simplon,
which should be open for traffic in
1904. The total cost when both tun-
nels are completed will be about $500
a lineal yard OF single-line tunnel. A
correspondent says it will be 1914
miles long. The Mont Gents tunnel
has length of nearly eight miles,
and all trains have to attain an alti-
tude of 4,24S feet above the sea level.
The Arlberg is 61s miles in length,
with height of 4,300 feet. The st.
Gothard is is miles, with a maxi
mum altitude of 3,783 feet. The Sim
plon will have the great advantage
over the others that its traffic has
not to be taken to a greater altitude
than 2,314 feet above the sea level, or
1.474 feet less than in the case o.
the st. Gothard, SO that no costly ap-
proaches nor hel!Gal tunnels are re-
quired to gain access TO the tunnel
at it's north end nor will the haul
age of trains be so heavy as in the
case of the other tunnels. The work
will at first consist of one single line
tunnel, lined with masonry through
out, and one parallel passage 10
leeL Wine Ny leeL HlSn, pTepeiI atoIy
to a second tunnel placed Sc feet
apart, axis from axis. When the traf-
fic necessitates second tunnel it can
be completed for about one-third of
the cost Of the first tunnel. The ex-
perience gained during the construc-
tion of the previous tunnels is be-
ing turned to very good account, and
is resulting in great saving of life,
In much greatly abbreviating the
period of construction. The men
change shifts every eight hours, and
are brought out in trainloads. They
are not allowed to enter the cold Al
pine air when emerging from the tun-
mel in their wet clothes, but are land
ed in a covered building or station,
in which there are cubicles for chang
ing their clothes, fitted with hot and
cold douche baths. They take off their
mining clothes, which are at once
hung up in heated rooms to dry, ready
for the next days work. Adjacent
is a restaurant at which they can get
meals of excellent quality at very
low price. Everything is kept in an
excellent state of order and cleanli
ness, and the organization through
out is quite without precedent. The
italian workmen object to resting on
Sunday, as they are eager to remit
their wages home to their families
