themselves with inexpensive things or
make them ones self. A corset cover

MRS. COLBERT is GUILT
Appleton Woman Set Fire to Her
Store in Bear Greek.
LETTER CAUSED ARREST
She Wrote Confession to Priest and
Signed Another's Name-Wanted
to Turn Away Suspicion.

Appleton, Wis, Nov. 2S.-ESpecial. i
Mrs. Lucille Colbert is guilty of arson in
having set fire to her millinery store in
Bear Greek two years ago, causing fire
which destroyed nearly the whole village.
Such is the verdict rendered py the jury
at 11:3O O'clock this morning after an
hours delberation.
A motion for new trial is pending
and will be argued Monday. If it is de-
MED the sentence will be passed at that
time.
Mrs. Colbert is 60 years Of age. 1t
is charged that or July 10. 1902, she
set fire to her Millinery store in the vii
lage of Bear Creek, Outagamie county,
and thus started blaze which destroyed
the entire business portion Of that vii
lage.
Handwriting experts testified in connec-
ton with the question Of authorship of
an alleged confession, purporting to have
been written by dying man in a Chi
cago hospital, sent to the Catholic priest
at Bear Creek, and by him read from
his pulpit. 1t was claimed by the pros
ecution that this letter was written by
herself, and the postmark shows it to
have been mailed on a railway train at
some point between Appleton and Bear
Greek.
Payment Of insurance on the stock al
legged to have been removed by Mrs. Col
bert was contested by the insurance COM
panies, and suspicion was directed
against her as having fired her store to
defraud the insurance companies.
On January 10. 1903, Father Pelegrin
received letter purporting to have been
written by the dying man in Chicago.
Upon studying it he became convinced
that it was not genuine. and called upon
Mrs. Colbert at New London, inducing
her to write and sign a statement that
she knew nothing of the origin of the fire.
The prosecution showed that the hand
writing of this statement and that of the
confession are Identical

ance Case to January Inter
rupts Plans.

Madison, Wis, Nov 2S.-[ Special /
Insurance Commissioners Host is disap-
pointed because the case of the Equita Bile
Life Insurance company has been post
pCned until January T.
1t was hoped by Mr.. Host that the ca e
would be tried in the circuit court this
fall and pass to the supreme court in time
to reach a decision that would enable him
to reissue licenses to mutual companies
holding licenses which expire March /,
1904. License Of about thirty-five mu-
tual insurance companies doing business
in the state expire at that time Mr.
Host cannot reissue licenses then without
an order from the supreme court, as the
Equitable case Will still be pending on
appeal. The result will probably be that
the thirty-hve companies will bring suits,
asking for the issuance of new licenses at
the expiration of the present ones.
No suit can be brought by private
party against an insurance company for
recovery Of losses, after a period of six
years has elapsed, according to the limit
fixed by statute. The present status of
the case prevents any person bringing a
suit for damages at any day his period of
limitation may expire.

Snake Killing Cats of Cairo.

A native woman living in Old Cairo
was entering her house when, to her
great terror, she perceived snake Of
formidable dimensions, which had taken
possession of the hearth during the OVID
er's absence. The woman fed, leaving
the door open. Her cat then appeared
on the scene, entered, saw the cobra,
put up it's back and tail, spat and other
wise manifested it's hostility, and in turn
went out. A few minutes afterward it
returned in company with second cat.
After similar exhibition both went ont
and returned with a third, and similarly
went away, returning finally with Il
fourth. Considering that sufficient fore.
had been recruited to kill the snake, the
four at once fell on the reptile, and after
short but fierce struggle the latter was
literally torn to pieces.-Egyptian GA

Fond du Lac, Wis, Nov. 2S.-[Spe-
cial. Am incipient fire in a coach at
tached to a train on the North Western
road and running between here and
Princeton caused commotion among the
passengers Thursday. The first that was
noticed was the smoke which was appar-
ent in the car quite a while before the
alarm was given, and thus the FIRE gained
quite Roadway. One Of the passengers
noticed it when the flames broke out and
he called the attention of the conductor
to it. He called to the brakeman, who
secured an axe and started to chop away
the woodwork in order to get at the seat
Of the fire, which he did. By this time
several Of the more timid ones in the car
had moved to the front of the train, an
ticipating serious trouble. The bottle of
