A CHICAGO MYSTERY.

Early yesterday morning the dead
bodies of Harriet Elizabeth Weber and
Inocenti Talamini, a marbecutter, were
found in a street in Chicago. Both had
been shot twice, and while there are in
dications that the man shot the woman
and then killed himself, there are other
features TO the case that make 1t some
what mysterious, Arthur NJ. Laurie, with
whom the dead woman had made her
home, will be held by the police until
after the inquest. There is no evidence
connecting him with the shooting, but
he is detained as witness. The shots
that killed the man and the woman were
heard by residents of the neighborhood
at about ! o'clock Tuesday night. No
move was made to investigate the shoot
ing, however, and nothing was known Of
the tragedy until yesterday morning,
when the bodies were discovered by a
newspaper carrier. The body Of the
woman was identified in short time as
that of "Mrs. Laurie" but when Laurie
was brought to the police station he said
that she was not his wife, and that he
did not know the man whose body was
found with hers. Last night in going
through the effects of Miss Weber an en-
velope was found addressed, evidently in
in the handwriting of a man, 10
InoceDti Talamini. In seeking Talamini
to find what he might know of the
woman or the shooting, the officers
identified the dead man as Talamini
himself No cause is known why Tala-
mini should have shot the woman, but
she had told several of her friends the
day before of Jew who had been follow
ing her and of whom she was afraid.
Talamini has a Hebraic countenance,
and it is the general theory that he shot
her because she refused to marry him.
The woman when found had been shot
twice, through the left arm and through
the breast. Talamini was shot twice,
once through the neck and once upward
through the chin, the bullet coming out
at the top of his head. In the man. s
hand was a revolver with four chambers
discharged, accounting for the four shots
fired. The people living in the neigh
borhood where the tragedy occurred de-
clare that more than four shots were
fred, and one bullet crashed through the
window of residence in the Deighbor-
hood. These facts have led the police
to believe that there may have been a
third party to the shooting, although
there is SO far no direct proof that such
was the fact. The Weber woman was a
native of Detroit, Mich, having gone
to Chicago from that city several years
ago.

The Proper Treatment for Sprain
ed Ankle.

As rule a man will feel well satisfied
if he can hobble around on crutches
two or three weeks after spraining his
ankle, and it is usually two or three
months before he has fully recovered.
This is an unnecessary loss of time, for
in many cases in which Chamberlain's
Pain Balm has been promptly and
freely applied, complete cure has been
effected in less than one weeks time,
and in some cases within three days.

GOOD ROADS.

The subject of goods roads has re.
ceived considerable attention through
out the east for a number of years
past. In fact, good road conventions
are of frequent occurrence. On his
recent visit to st. Louis President
Roosevelt accepted an invitation to
address a meeting Of this kind. Good
roads are a matter of such vital i'm
portance that a great many favor aid
and supervision by the general gov
eminent, especially where the bene-
fits to be derived are Interstate in
their character.
II would seem that even in the old
states there is a great deal to be
learned about wagon road construc-
ton and the question is receiving
earnest attention.
In many Of the Mississippi valley
states, where the spring rain fall is
heavy and summer showers frequent,
country roads are almost impossible
a good portion of the year. and there
is a lack of proper material near at
hand to improve them, hence the
problem.
o doubt every county has its road
supervisors and the annual work is
performed regularly but without very
satisfactory results.
In the mountain states of the west
the problem is not so difficult. Elk.
cept for some stretches of roads across
alkali fats road building and main.
tenance in Montana is comparatively
easy, II the proper kind of work is
done. There is less rain fall, the
roads dry quickly and usually there
can be found near by the proper ma.
terials for their betterment.
But, as in all public work, there
is danger of doing things in the quick.
est and easiest way. The job, or the
uiputy, 10 lHt uldiu NOHslutTulluu, tllt
quality Of work the least.
The scraper used in road work answ,
ers for a multitude of sins in road
repairing. 1t requires but a few loads
of soft dirt to fill up a hole or rut
and with this the average road super
visor is satisfied, though nothing OF
permanent good has been accomplish,
ed. Such places need rock or gravel
or both. even if it is necessary to &c
several miles to secure this kind oil
a filling.
II is unfortunate that all road work
cannot be performed under the super
vision of a practical engineer, in
stead. as in many cases. under the
charge of those inexperienced and alb
solutely Indifferent as to the perma
nent character of the work perform
ed.
Road work will soon begin in Fer
gus county under the new law. There
is great need of work and everyon,
interested should see that some sub
stantial results are obtained undeI
its operation.

tions as exceeding the widest traits
of Organism and Populism. The Sun
is said to be owned by j. Pierpont

The local school board should make
haste slowly in the matter Of employ
ing a professor for the city schools.
Some time can well be given to the
record and fitness of applicants mas
much Is the services of such will not
be needed for three or four months.
Mere testimonials and letters Of rec
ommendatlon are not sufficient. These
are obtained about as easily as signers

instructor Lewistown ever had came

OF recommendation. II Is not impos-
sible to get satisfactory information
from the place or school where the
applicant is or has been employed.
Complaint is also made that the school
board is not careful enough in the
matter Of employing teachers. A
young lady should not be employed
simply because she has a pull" and
some friend intercedes for her. Ex-
perience and fitness should determine
the matter. IL Is a well known fact
that young ladies frequently accept
or seek positions as teachers because
the employment is more honorable
and remunerative than some other
class Of work, not because of their
special fitness or the fact that their
hearts are in the work. Under such
conditions the scholars and patrons
are the ones to suffer. There should
be no fayoritism shown in our public
schools
