Haugh, formerly of this place but now in New Brighton, has received a beautiful Tiffany medal pre- sented by the New York Times for writing an essay on The history of New York for the past 25O years. In the borough of Richmond where Miss Haugh attends school, there are about 5000 pupils in High school and there were only five medals won. By this it can be seen that she stands we'll in her literary attachments. It is hop.

for year and then go OR drunk and remain in that condition as long as his money lasted.
 When it came to the testimony of O. B. Pepper the coroner withdrew to another room and took it in private. He was with Edith Roscoe when she died.
 In speaking of Peter J. Worden's self-inflicted injuries, Dr Bostwick said: He shot himself above the right eye, the bullet evidently passing to the front part of the head. If blood pois- oning doesn't set in there will be little doubt as to his recovery. He had bad cut on the left side of the throat but not deep enough to be dangerous.
 When Worden was asked by one of the men what he used a hammer for when he had revolvers he replied that the discharge of the revolver would alarm the men folks at the barn. Asked why he had not attempted the deed two days before he said he had not been able to get up the spunk. On Saturday about noon on a con- plaint signed by Grand Juror Conklin, Worden was put to plea before Justice Daniel B. Mallory. He pleaded guilty and was bound over for trial in the criminal term of the Superior court. About p. m., Selectman George Dur gy and Deputy Sheriff Allen took the prisoner to New Milford, where the 3.29 train was taken for Bridgeport.
 Stephen Roscoe, the father of the murdered girl, was nice appearing man and was much overcome by the tragedy. He stated to BEE reporter that Worden had been a member of his family off and on for p years. He said he had often stated to his wife he wished Worden would go away and keep away.
 Peter Worden is said to be relative of Charles Worden, who hung himself some years ago near Reynoldsville, N. Y. He had worked in Sherman at diff ferent times for the late Joel Joyce, Elliot Roswell and others. About week before the tragedy he was at the store at Sherman and bought num- Der of articles.
 This year has been trying one for 0. B. Pepper and family. In May a barn belonging to Mir Pepper was burned, and it was thought the fire was of incendiary origin.
 The funeral of Edith Roscoe took place on Sunday from Carmel, N. Y.

 to come. When he did come he brought Edith with him. They came from Carmel, N. Y. Sister lived at home with father and mother. Worden is my uncle, my mothers brother. He is about 35 years old. Had been with my father for one and half months, since breaking his leg. He had been married and had a wife now living at Bulls Run, Pa. They had not lived together for nine years. He left her. He has one daughter, who is with her mother. Never suspected that he was jealous of the girl till Friday. Edith corresponded with young man named Alexander Smith of New York. A young man named Homer Barrett she had met at parties but he was not es- pecially regarded as a beau of hers.
 My wife told me she wrote a letter to AlexanderiSmith. Had heard Worden plague her about Barrett in a joking way. Did not even hear that Worden had been mentally unbalanced or in- sane. Had his right mind on Friday as well as he ever did. He was an ex- citable man. He was drinking man. l Sometimes he would go without drink

ford came, and the wounds of the murderer, Worden, were attended to. Later in the day Mrs Sherman Roscoe was taken to the Danbury hospital by her husband and William Axford, a neighbor.
 Medical Examiner J. N. Woodruff at once communicated with Coroner Doten of Bridgeport. He came to New Milford on the S.23 a. m. train, Sauur- day, and with Dr B. B. Bostwick, drove to Sherman, arriving at the Pepper residence about 10. l5 a. m. . On the morning of the tragedy, Deputy Sheriff Warren Allen was notified, and came at once to the Pepper residence and placed guards in the room of the murderer, Worden. Sheriff Aliens handling of the case was in good taste, and showed him to be an ideal officer. Coroner Doten convened the inquest in the sitting room of Sherman ROs coe's apartments at about 1915 a. m. DTS Woodruff and Bostwick were first examined and briefly stated the condi- tion of things as they found them at the Pepper house on the morning of l the 26th.

Got up at $40 a. m. as also did MT Pepper and went to the barn to milk. Mrs Roscoe got up about 5 o'clock. About this time heard big crash in the house like dishes rattling. Came out of the barn and saw my wife stag gering in the yard and blood dripping from her head. Heard some one shriek or cry out. My wife said that some one came up behind her and struck her and was now up stairs murdering Edith. Went into my bed room and got rifle and went up stairs. Went into my sisters room.

as we'll be said without further parleying) is

The writer also sums up the Socialist philos-,
ophy fairly accurately as follows:
I. The public ownership of all the means
of production and distribution.
e. The making Of things for use rather
than profit.
:. The abolition of private (productive)
property.

Reform School Scandal.

From the Topeka State Journal (Rep)
II is strange that the State Industrial School
for Boys should be. such fruitful source of
scandal occasioned by the Irutal treatment of
the inmates. There was a time, but it was
long ago, when reports of brutality in this in.
slitution were never heard aud when it was ad-
mitted that it was conducted in the best man.

the officers, and since then there has apparent
ly been little effort to find men who know how
such an institution should de conducted and
are able to utilize their knowlege in its man.
agement. After repeated trials the school is
in no better condition than it was after the first
disastrous change was made, when DR.. ]. F.
Buck and his competent corps of assistants
were dislodged for political reasons.
Perhaps little Charles Barnet was bad boy
it is presumed he was or else he would not
have been sent to the reform school, but what
must have been the condition of his mind when
ne stood before his tormentors and saw ten
pound shackle riveted to his leg-a weight that
made every step painful one? His view of
life must have been anything but pleasant when
he dragged that heavy weight up and down
stairs while it bruised and cut his tender flesh.
1t lis peculiar method of developing the good
in boys nature to submit him to tortures
which would almost shame the inquisition. The
minds of the boys in. the reform school are ir
measure uniformed; their future development
must depend more or less on their environment;
and what has the future for child who is treat
as Charles Barnet was treated at the state in
dustria school?
The writer has no suggestion concerning the
proper punishment for the unruly Barnet boy.
He admits that he is not capable of conducting
reform school, but he does know that civilized
Kansas and the advanced Twentieth century is
neither the place nor the time to re. establish
the inhuman brutality of the Middle Ages
Perhaps some day the Kansas legislature will
forget the duty it owes 70. the "party" long
enough to provide for the civil service control
OF our state institutions. When men are en-
ployed for what they know, and not for what
they have done in the interest of political
candidate, then the people may be prepared to
hear of fewer scandals in the state institutions.

the working class-owns and controls the tools

working class in power.
