Incr1minating Evidence Brought Out
Against Alleged Ohio Wife-
Murderer.

a furniture dealer, was the first witness
called Tuesday in the trial OF Alfred
Knapp for the murder of his wife. He
said that Knapp on December 26 told
him his wife was in Indianapolis. A.
Moore, junk dealer. said that he sold
Knapp box such as that in which the
wife's body is said to have been placed
on December %. George Cooley, TIM
ner who knew Knapp. said that on
December % he saw Knapp drive into
Shollenbargers livery barn with q
wagon at 9:45 a. m. Later in the week
Knapp told him that he had sent his
wife to Cincinnati. Captain of Police
Lenehan was called and kept the stand
a long time. He told Of arresting Knapp
at Indianapolis and detailed the investi-
cation that lead to the discovery that
Knapp's wife was missing and pointed
to her husband as her murderer.
Mayor Bosch was called and was about
totell of Knapp's confession to him when
the defense objected, and while the ques-
ton was being argued the jury was re-
moved from the courtroom.
WneH Mayor BOSCH WAS recalleu the
defense made fight to keep Knapp's
two confessions from going to the jury.
Lawyer Thomas made an argument de-
claring the state had not proven Han
nah Goodall Knapp's murder and insin-
uating that the police procured the COM
fessions Improperly. Judge Belden
finally ruled to admit the confessions,
which is serious blow to the defense.
Mayor Bosch then outlined the confess
sions, one Of which he read and identi-
fed. He was on the stand when court
adjourned and was under cross-exam-
ination.

TO Ran Surveys.

The directors of the interurban cleo
trio railway projected between Des
Moines and Council Bluffs held q
meeting in this city and employed an
engineer to run surveys covering the
route. No expense will be spared to
make the preliminary survey perfect.
"A one per cont. grade and three per
cent. are the only limita tions
on the engineer except that he has
been directed 10 survey route joining
the principal points along the line,
which are Des Moines, Dallas Center,
Guthrie Center, Audubon, Harlan and
Logan. The selection of intermediate
points is left to the Judgment Of the
engineer. Two months will be con-
sumed in this work. Two moro months
will then be consumed in making the
permanent survey. It will take six
months to get the right of way. The
promoters OF the road hope to have

At the same time, also the women of Pine Orchard, in Connecticut, were running borough election. and although they were not called upon to assert their physical superiority, they doubtless mad by their determined attitude overawed the "mere men" voters who disagreed with them.

An interesting discovery has been made at the Y. NJ. C. A. boys camp on Madison island, formerly known as Treasure island.
 James Wilson of New Haven was climbing some rocks when he dislodged one or them. Beneath where the rock had rested was a cavity, and in this he discovered a sealed wooden box. When the box had been opened a smaller one, sealed in the same man. ner. was found inside. This was open ed, and it contained a valuable unset diamond and a beautiful diamond bracelet.
 There were also in the box some newspaper clippings concerning the as- sassination of President Lincoln and a paper which announced that if the directions written thereon were fol- lowed more valuables could be found. Under the box in the cavity in the rocks were scattered a number of American coins.-New York Times.

PHYSICAL PRowEss OF WOMEN.
A Red Letter Week in the Calendar of
 Feminine Self-Defenders

Last week should be marked with a big red letter in the calendar of the Woman's right movement. One of the arguments often advanced against the giving of the right to vote to women has been that, being the physical in ferior to men. they were incapable of performing military service, and that the ballot and the bullet should go hand in hand. This argument of phy- sical inferiority women in various parts of the country arose in their might last week to confound and confute. On Tuesday evening a young woman was sitting in her carriage at the Atlantic City railroad station awaiting the arri- val of her father on the train iron, Philadelphia. A ''masher" approached her and tried to enter into conversation but she was busy with restless horse and paid no heed to him. Then the "masher' retired to a little distance and made rude remarks for her bene- lit. As soon as her father arrived and Jumped into the carriage the young woman turned over the reins to him, and. seiZing the whip, sprang to the platform, where she dashed the mash CT until he fled bowling to the depths of Pullman car

A TALK ON ART
The Atchison Globes Criticism of a
 Local Aggregatlon.

The Atchison Globe never puts it's most interesting foot forward untiI a brass band concert or an amateur an tertalnment is up for reporting. Here is a specimen:
 'The Feldkirchner children will be taken on the road shortly, and ii is to be hoped that they will take with them the man who was Nos. 2 and 3 on inc programme at the concert at Forest park last evening" and lose him. The city has no desire to miss good citi- zen. but Nos. and can't sing. His voice wouldn't pass muster in getting him job in the Salvation Army. but he tried it last night, and when the people howled after No. 2 he took the bowling for applause and appeared in No. 3. Then pandemonium reigned There were screenings. cat calls, misses and laughter; had the mob had lead CT. things might have been very serious for Nos. 2 and 3. To add to the injury his voice inflicted, he wore his working clothes. and a love song in working clothes jars the musical sensibilities of even those who cannot tell a recessional hymn from rag time.
 Almost everyone had heard the Feldkirchner children over and over again, SO it will be no breach of polite ness to say that the attraction last night was the announcement that an
 Atchison lady would appear as Mile Una, in poses plastique.' When the curtain went up, it disclosed figure on the stage looking like monk The 1 calcium light was turned on, the arms
 of the figure extended, taking the black
 drapery with them, and leaving expos 1 ed the form of Mrs. Stella Bilimek, di-
 vorced wife of Joe Bilimek, clad in pink tights, a great deal of paint a wig of 1 golden curlS, few rhinestones and rib bons, and a smile which disclosed sozo- don't teeth. Mrs. Bilimek has a pretty i figure, some say she is a little too l heavy, and will perhaps make a sensa- ton in other towns, but the sight of q
 neighbor or old acquaintance in tights
 is a great shock to a modest town like | Atchison, and there was dead silence
 during her entire apearance of ten
 minutes, except upon two occasions.
 The calcium threw pictures upon the 1 woman (roses, cherubs, etc.) and once
 the American flag. There was whoop
 and a hooray at once, and why? Is
 the American flag something to be applauded when reflected on the figure l of a woman in tights? The old soldier
 will answer. The second applause was 1 given when a picture of George Wash
 ington blazed forth upon the pink form ] on the stage
