Confirming predictions in our former

on the strong position of the fiber

even higher prices may prevail in the

Consumption will be larger than an
ticipated as, from farm papers of the

Irvine than usual will be required for

TEMPORARY INSANITY.
Saline County Farmer Murders
Four Children and Himself.

salina, Kan, Aug. 2O.-F1ve bodies lie
in undertaker's room here as re-
suit of a terrible crime committed at the
hands of Joe Anderson, a farmer, aged 81
years, who, after taking his four children
and dropping them into a cistern placed
a revolver to his head and fired a shot
which caused his own death late in the
afternoon.
The mother had come to town shopping
Tuesday and left the children in care
of the father, as had been her custom.
On her return. about noon, she found the
body of her husband lying on the ground
near the well. He was still alive and
moaning She hurried to a neighbors and
on her return, later, learned OF the fate
of the children by the following note
which had been placed on table In the
parlor:
1.-THE children are in the cistern."
The meaning conveyed in the few words
Frustrated the mother. The bodies were
recovered. The names and ages of the
children are:
Fern, girl aged years.
Louis, boy, aged years
Bess, girl, aged years.
Baby girl, aged 4 months.
The crime is the most shocking ever
committed in the county. The cause of
the mans terrible deed is thought to have
been temporary insanity, due to business
matters. He had however, never shown
any signs of insanity. He was of good
family and has always been a good citi-

that both players promised to give their
final answers tomorrow. 1t is also
known that each has offers to stay with
the Bo- tons for $500 less than that.
