Letter to L. A. Cobb.
Island Pond, n.

Dear Sir: 1t is all very well for us to
say that it takes fewer gallons of Devoe
Lead and Zinc to paint house than it
does of mixed paints; but you want to
know why.
For the same reason that it takes less
good cows milk to feed baby than it
does of skinned milk.
Most mixed paints are fifteen to eighty
per cent, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
but true. Water isn't paint. Barytes
isn't paint. Whiting isn't paint. Ben.
zine isn't paint. Petroleum isn't paint
Fish-oil isn't paint. None of these are
right part of good paint. None OF
these do the work that belongs to paint
All they do is to fill the can.
Devoe Lead and Zinc is one-hundred
per cent. paint. The adulterated mixed
paints are only twenty to eighty-fve pei
cent. paint.
Mixed paint ought to be from fifteen
to eighty per cent. cheaper than Devoe
Lead and Zinc-no; the worst of then
ough int to be anything. They waste
your money; you not only must buy
more gallons, but you must pay the
painter for spreading the extra number
of gallons; and painting costs three
times as much as the paint.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.,
New York.

MURDER AT ERIE.
Frank Hush, Carpenter, Shoots
His Wife and Commits
Suicide.
DOMESTIC TROUBLE THE CAUSE
Killing of Children of Couple Pre-
vented by the Neigh
bors.

The little town of Erie, just across
the line in Whiteside county, was the
scene of shocking tragedy last ev-
ening when Frank Hush, a carpenter.
shot and killed his wife and after I'M
successfully attempting to kill their
two children turned his revolver on
himself with fatal effect.
The crime, which was the out
growth of domestic trouble the exact
nature of which is not generally
known, was of the most cold-blooded
character. 1t was about dusk and
the wife and two children, boy and
girl, aged IS and 9, had just left their
home to attend the Easter services
at church in which the children were
to take part
Pursued by Husband.
As they crossed the street at a
short distance from the house they
were over taken by the husband and
father who, without warning. began
shooting at Mrs. Hush. Three times
he shot her in the back and she fell
to the ground.
Then he turned to the children and
emptied the revolver at them. The
boy stood still, overpowered by the
awful scene, but the girl ran and did
not stop till she burst into the church,
where she almost created a panic by
telling what had TRANSFERRED
Hush then returned to the home
and Gnf Ii
ing back to the scene of the murder
with the evident intention of killing
the children. AS he approached he
saw that a crowd of townspeople had
gathered about the PROSTATE form
and he then shot himself through the
head, dying in half an hour. The wo-
man was almost instantly killed.
Were About to Separate.
The husband was about Is years of
age and the wife was IS, and they
were respected rcsidentsu of Erie.
Their domestic trouble began some
time ago and it is understood that il
was largely caused by disagreement
over going to Ohio to reside. Things
had arrived at such Il pass that Il sep
aration was imminent and the pair
could not agree over the custody OF
the children. The hus band wanted
to have charge of the son, while the
wife desired to keep both children.

The Move of the Independent

fy Politics.
HINTS AS TO ILLEGAL VOTES
Prosecution Demanded Irrespective
p 90 of Who is
Hit.

| 3yLg$z e.
The action contemplated by the
Independent Voters league in con
testing the late municipal election"
said Il citizen this morning, lis one
that should commend itself to
every reputable citizen of our
city. Not so much that it
may be done for the purpose of at
tempting to unseat AIR. McConochie,
the mayOr-clect-or rather to prevent
him from taking his seat-as it should
be TO punish severely the fraudulent
voters, and the parties who are re-
sponsible for the casting of this
frardufcnt.Yote in our elections.
This fraudulent vote is perpethated
in nearly every instance by riff-ra5f of
society, many of whom have no per
manen Z homes-in fact, no temporary
homes in this city. They are coddled
and nursed by would-be political lead
ers, drenched with beer for week
prior to election, sworn in by men
who do not seem To have spark of
conscience or political honesty, and
voted in groups like so many cattle.
Hints of Illegal Votes
Just think of it: We are told that
during the late election one man
boldly swore in the votes of thirty or
more of such people, in one precinct,
many of whom, no doubt, he knew
nothing of, or probably had not seen
before.
Gross violations of the election
laws in other precinct are quite APP
parent. 1t has been said that several
men were voted here at the election
last Tuesday who voted for Gov. Van
SAINT in Minnesota last fall.
mo private citizen would care to
assume the responsibility and the eX-
pense of prosecuting these offenders,
but it should be done by an associa-
ton or league of the voters, having
both means and moral prestige to rid
our city of this pernicious evil and
drive the perpetrators of it into the
penitentiaries.
Regardless of who is Benefited
cit matters not in whose interest
this vite was cast: it is pollution OF
our body polite and menace to So
ciety and good government. There
certainly was never more opportune
time than now to expose and punish
this fraud on our people, and if the
Independent Voters league will take
hold of it in earnest and in a manner
that will inspire confidence in the
community, it need have no fear of
failure for want of financial assist
ance."

ELEVEN BOX CARS BURNED
AT THE NATICK TERMINAL

Eleven cars standing in the Rock
Island yards at Natick were destroy
ed by fire this morning, four of them
completely so, the balance badly
damaged. Seven of the cars belong
ed to the Rock Island and the other
four to the Burlington. The origin
of the blaze is not known to the Off
cfals at the yards. According to one
theory Il hot box was responsible,
while another is based on n report
that tramps had to do with the kind
ling of the flames.
