THE MICHIGAN NEWS
What Is Doing In All Sections OF the State
Wore They Murderedf

Mrs. Mary Mcknight, OF Walton,
Grand Traverse county, has been ar
rested on suspicion OF having muir
dered Mr.. and Mrs. John Murphy and
their 2-year-old child in Springfield
township, Kalkaska county near Fife
Lake. She Is In Jail ut Kalkaska, ana
other arrests will follow. 1t Is SAID.
Mrs. Mcknight was Murphy's sister.
Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy and baby died
In the early part of May, within TWO
weeks. The circumstances were looked
upon as suspicious, and many vague
rumors were current In the village,
but no investigation was made AZ the
time. The affair had ceased To be the
subject OF common talk when Sheriff
Creighton. last week. quietly enlisted
the services OF the prosecutor. ex-
humed Murphy's body and sent the
stomach to Ann Arbor for analysis. A
report received yesterday showed that
the stomach contained enough strych-
nine to kill several men, and the ar
rest OF Mrs. Mcknight followed. The
other bodies will be dlsinterred, and
the stomachs analysed at once.
Murphy was insured for $1,000, and
theory that there might have been
an attempt by someone TO XIII both
him and the beneficiary, in order that
the insurance might revert, has been
formed
A mortgage for 5000. given by Muir
ply to Mrs. Mcknight. and filed after
his death. aroused suspicion. 1t was
said to have been raised 10 5000 from
$500.

out a medicine that will cure any
case Of Kidney Trouble. AS Mr..
Doyle was himself very sick for a
long time. with this painful disease.

says:
In regard to Dodd's Kidney Pills.

fering with Kidney Trouble, for they
made me all right.

friends to try them, and not one has
been disappointed"

FIRE AND FLOOD.
Ruin of Property and Loss of Life at Topeka.

North Topeka. KS. which is separ-
ated from the city proper by the Kan
sas river, on Saturday, day and night,
experienced tho horrors OF fire added
10 the terrible situation occasioned by
HOOD. IL was reported that at least 200
persons were dead, with every pros
pect that the calamity would be swell
Ell to much greater proportions. North
Topeka was completely cut off by the
rushing waters, the swift current of
the swollen stream making rescue
work well nigh impossible. After much
.arduous labor a swaying pontoon
bridge was stretched between Il per-
manent bridge and the doomed town,
win the result that great many per-
sons were rescued who would other
wise have persisted. Fifty distinct fires
were counted at one time and the
prospect was that the entire town
would be wiped out. Some people
sought safety In the branches OF trees
and 1gonized cries for assistance could
be heard n mile away. In Topeka
proper. thousands have been driven
from their homes by the flood and the
scenes Of suffering and confusion stag
ger the Imagination. The floods are
general in Kansas and neighborlns
states and the ruin Ia widespread The
greatest loss and suffering is In central
and eastern Kansas, northwestern Mis-
souri,. eastern Nebraska and south
western Iowa, tho result of 10 days
almost continuous rainfall Many
lives have been lost and it Is estimated
that no less than $4,000 persons have
been driven from their homes, many
OF which were washed away and that
the property loss will run well ND into
the millions OF dollars. The situation
summarized follows:

lage near Basel This is said not to
be an exceptional case. In the can

that the priests are SO badly paid that
they are Obliged to supplement their

control are said to be models Of their
kind. The priests have succeeded in
