 ''Go to bed? Never! How can go to bed when I know that the dear old horse pond in which first told you of my love has been cut up and sold by the piece? Such things sink deep into my heart, and if you were true heart ed woman you would be weeping in stead of sitting there like log of wood. You wouldn't care if all the dear old things of your childhood were traded off for turnips.'

 He put on his hat and overcoat and went out. The cold night wind dried his tears, but at the same time it set that hard cider working up in the top of his head, and MT. Bowser had only reached the corner when he had to reach out for the fence. What hap pened to him in the next quarter of an hour was told by the policeman who brought him home.

 Yes" she replied as MT. BoWser was assisted into the hall.
 His name is Bowser, isn't it?"
 'sYes."
 "Yesh; names Bowser," unused the culprit as he leaned up against the wall and stared around.
 Has anything happened to unhinge his mind?" continued the officer. II found him up on the corner hanging to the fence and crying and muttering to himself about little red tree and an old oak schoolhouse. He isn't crazy, is he?" ,,
 ''Not at all. He simply received jug of hard cider from Chemung coun- ty tonight"

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. "a bride
of four months, Mrs. Edgar II. Frantz,
aged nineteen years, is dead, slain by
her husband, a well-knoWn drug clerk
of this city. F'rantz is dying from the
effects, of morphine which he swallow
ed after firing two bullets into his
wife. The woman was murdered in
her sleep. FrantZ left a note in which
he said they had agreed to die togeth-
er. but from the note and other facts
it is believed Mrs. Frantz was the I'M
suspecting victim of her husbands
jealousy. The tragedy occurred about
o'clock this morning. FrantZ was
twenty-on one years of age. The life of
the young couple had been made I'M
pleasant by quarrels ever since their
marriage, Frantz being intensely jeal-
Gus Of his young wife. Several times,
it is stated, he threatened to kill her.
She expected to leave tomorrow on
visit to the West with her mother.
F'rantz opposed this trip. Last night,
however, the couple were apparently
on the best of terms and in good spir-
it's. On retiring they requested that
they be called at noon today. When
an attempt was made to arouse them
they failed to respond. Forcing open
the door Frantz's father found them
lying on the bed. The woman was
dead, with bullet hole in her head
and another through her breast. F'rantz
was still alive but his recovery is re-
garded as impossible.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 9.-"The mas
sacres likely to follow the letting loose
of the Bashi Bazouks," says the Bulga-
rian foreign minister, "are liable to pre-
cipitate the movement in Bulgaria in
favor of the revolution, and thus force
the hand of the government" He has
informed the representatives Of the
powers that the government will use
its utmost endeavoTs to quell all un-
rest in Bulgaria occasioned by the
events in Mact Gnia, but the powers
must do their part and take the neces-
sary steps to induce the porte to stop
the persecution of the innocent, and
the employment of Bashi Bazouks in
suppressing the revolution.
Nothing can end the present revo-

aspirations are satisfied or those fight

FINDS MONEY IN HER
BUSTLE At HOME
Mrs. Van Cerkee Discovers the
$500 She Thought She
Had Lost.

"Found hustle and money at home.
Thanks"
Such was the message received yes
terday afternoon bv Mic Bouse, police1
man at the Union depot. from Mrs.
Van Cerkee, of Shawnee, Kan, who
made the distressing discovery at the
depot Saturday morning that $500,
which she had sewed UP in a package,
and which she had supposed she mad
taken with her was missing.
Mrs. Van Cerkee with her sixteen
year-old granddaughter, was On her
way from her home at Shawnee to
Little Falls, Mimi. where she was to
visit her son-in-law. On arriving at
the depot Saturday morning she was
Mortified to find that the hustle in
which her money was contained was
not in it's place.
Her first suspicion was that she had
dropped it off in the toilet room of
the train when she was rearranging
her clothing. After much excited
searching of her clothing and after a
search had been made of the car in
which she had ridden, Mrs. Van Cerkee,
at the suggestion of Officer Mic Bouse,
returned to her home in the hope of
finding that she had not taken it with
her.
Mrs. van CerKee, WHO IS SILKY -SIA
years old, received the money from a
recent sale of a piece of property, and
her granddaughter, who was travelling
with her, did not know that she had
such a large sum in her possession.
'"The old lady told me that if she
found her money at home the first
thing she would do would be to put it
in bank said officer Bouse.
The receipt of the telegram was the
occasion of much lively comment about
the denot Yesterday.

DEPARTMENT STORE
TRUST is LATEST
Is Designed to Have Branches

Everything.

NEW YORK, Aug. "a department
store trust is the latest. 1t will have
chain of department stores in the big
cities of the country, including st. Paul
and Minneapolis, and in London, Paris
and perhaps Berlin. The mammoth
trust is hidden behind the "Cash Buy
ers' Union First National Cooperative
society" which was incorporated last
week in Trenton, N. ]. The capitaliza-
ton is $5,OO0,O00, but an amended GER
tificate is to be filed later raising 1t
several tens of millions.
The identity of the captain of in
dustry interested is hidden. The in
corporators are clerks Of a trust COM
pany. The charter is a blanket one
and covers every possible branch Of
rade, with the right to buy, sell, own
and conduct not alone in every state of
the Union, but in Canada and Europe
as well. Very little information can be
gathered regarding the inner details

IN POSTAL AFFAIRS
They Are Anxious to Know
Connection Between the va

Four-Year Contract to Supply
Department With Clocks.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
Postoffice inspectors are busy trying to
ascertain definitely if George w.
Beavers. former chief of the salary and
allowance division, holds any stock in
the Yaqui Copper company, and, if so,
how he acquired it. They are also in
terested in knowing how other post
office officials acquired stock in this
company it being understood that one or
more, in addition to Mr.. Beavers, have
such stock, The reason for this solicit
tude on the part of the inspectors is
the fact that the Yaqui Copper COM
pany was formed largely through the
efforts of George H. Green, of Bing-
perfected about the time that the Bun
dy Manufacturing company, of Bing
hamton, secured the four years con-
tract to supply the postoffice depart
ment with time clocks. Mr.. Green is
reported to be heavy stockholder in
both companies AS these clocks sold
on the market for from $50 to SIS, and
under the contract the postoffice de-
partment is to pay 500 to $125 for
them. Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow would like to know if
there is any connection between the
holding of stock by certain postoffice
officials in the Yaqui Copper company
and the awarding Of the contract to the
Bundy company. The contract has run
from year to year, but the department
suddenly executed contract for four
years without advertising Or competi-
ton of any kind, ard without consider
ing such clocks asswere offered in COM
petition. This significant fact, taken
in connection with the additional de-
velopment that 40 per cent above the
market price was to be paid for the
clocks, has made the matter Of the
contract one which is particularly at
tractive to the sleuths who have un-
covered SO much scandal in the de-
partment

growth, and where it should be rapidly
pushing ahead, it is actually making
but little progress.
Further returns from threshing, so
far as winter wheat is concerned, fully
confirm all that has been said about
deficient yields. In spite of increase
of some near 100000 acres harvested
as compared with 1902, it is now a
question whether the total production
will equal that of last year. Returns
from all sections of the spring wheat
district show that the crop has gone
backward since July 1. The crop did
not recover vitality after the rains
came, it becoming apparent that a
large part of the stool was killed, and
it is evident that the rate of yield in
the best parts of the territory will be
decidedly below the normal outturn."
