Girl Charged With Heinous
Crime.
The State, 9th inst.

The State, 9th inst.
Two small boys while playing
yesterday morning about Z o. clock,
near Rocky branch, az small
stream which runs in the south,
ern part of the city, Just outside
the corporate limits, made grue-
some discovery. The body of a
male infant was seen lying in the
shadows near one of the banks.
The coroner and the officers of
the la~ -ere summoned and went
at once to the scene. A thorough
Investigation was made and Lou
Spradley, young woman of
absut 21 Yeas of age, was closely
questioned. The girl told sever
al versions of the affair. She had
become the mother of child on
Friday night, it is alleged, and it
was said yesterday that she had
confessed that it was her infant
which was found i, the branch.
She was taken 10 the country
Jail and made as comfortable as
possible on account of her peculiar
condition. Her father also had
told several different stories and
was placed in the Jail. The in.
fant's body was taken to Connsl-
ly's undertaking establishment,
and an autopsy by Drs. Fishburns
and Coward revealed the fact that
it was net still born.
Jimmie AcMeeh.n, a young
man whom the woman mentioned
in connection with the alleged
crime, is held at the Jail until the
matter is fully investigated.

A LONG LEGAL FIGHT BEGUN OVER
THE HUNTLEY WILL.
Chesterfield, April 4.-Probate
Judge M. j. Hough has rendered
his decision in regard to the val,
idity of the contested will of the
late Mrs. Emily Huntlsy. He ad-
mits the will to probate, thus re-
futing the charges of fraud and
undue influence. The nature of
the former proceedings was the
proving of the will in solemn form.
The case does not end here but
will be appealed to the upper
courts.
Inthe first preliminary skirmish
neither side put up much evidence;
that beinS reserved for The main
conflict. Judge Hough's decision
was anticipated and could not have
been otherwise from the eviden CO
submitted.
This estate is valued at $4,000
and contains the finest tin!er in
the county. Much litigation will
snsue before the matter is finally
settled. 1t promises to be the
most noted case of it's kind in tho
county for years. Public senti-
ment is in favor of the contestants.

The Biggest Man.

. Edward Beaupre, tile biggest man in
the world, was one of the sights on
Broadway in New York the other day.
Beaupre does not enjoy his unique dis
tinction. Being independently wealthy
and intelligent and refined as well he
is not a sideshow sight. He stands 8
feet 3 inches in height and weighs 1868
pounds. He wears q No. 8 hat and
%, shoe. Beaupre weighed 8 pounds
when he was born. He was just like
other babies until, at the age of 3,
he began to grow with remarkable
speed. His parents are of normal size.
He was 6 feet 4 when years old.
Now it takes 10 yards of cloth to make
him a suit Of clothes. He has two
brothers and four sisters, none OF
whom is remarkable for size except
one of the boys, aged 8, who ISIS feet
8 inches and growing at a rate at
which he will soon catch up to his big
brother.

Not Nero Chest.Tones.

'sThe most charming voice ever
heard" said q fashionable teacher OF
'tone culture" sis the possession Of
a woman who never in her Life took
lesson In elocution or singing, or
appeared in public. In fact, she Is a
dressmaker In rather humble circum-
stances. Hers is what we call a talk
ing voice. 1t is low and sweet and
musical. It is not an affected voice
one Of the kind some folks put on
with their best clothes and company
manners. 1t is perfectly natural. 1t
is her everyday voice, and she never
uses any other.
1.-THE first time l heard her speak L
was struck by the gentleneSs, sweet
ness and true refinement Of her voice.
I determined to find out all about her,
and l did. It was not much, just q
homely, simple little history Of un-
selfshness and self-sacrifice; of years
spent in frugal living and in working
hard for others But it explained the
possession Of that voice.
Zone day a pupil Of mine, a wealthy
society woman who had taken up tone
culture as mere fad, heard this dress
maker speak.
""Therev she exclaimed. 7 want you
to teach me to speak like that

1t just trick Of managing the chest

mere chest tones; they come from the

Our Roads Astonish Foreigners.

The development of passenger trans
portation in the United States aston
ishes all foreigners. Edwin A. PRATT, a
representative Of the London Times,
was making some Investigations yes
terday at the Grand Central Station
with a view to writing comprehen-
sive article on American railroads. His
inquiries developed the fact that the
New York Central has eight passenger
trains a day between New York and
Chicago, and when he learned that the
distance is $50 miles he remarked that
1t is a marvellous thing. He was still
further astonished to find that four OF
the eight trains make the $50 miles In
twenty-four hours, and that one, the
Twentieth Century Limited, goes the
distance every day, in either direction,
In twenty hours. His amazement grew
when he was Informed that the west
bound Twentieth Century Limited car
rtes only Chicago passengers, and will
not take a passenger for any other
point. He remarked that his people
would be equally aStounded on learn
ing these facts.-From ION the Tip Of

The j. P,'s Agree.

Staunton, Ark, Aug. 81.-News
comes from Duff, Searcy Co., this
State, that Mr.. T. e. Reeves, Justice
of the Peace at that place, has written
letter recommending Dodd's Kidney
Pills In which he says:
II think Dod0's Kidney Pills can't
be beat for Kidney Trouble, end I
wish them every success"
The local J. P, Mr.. q. B. Cox, agrees
with his brother Justice on this point,
for he says:
II had bad case Of Kidney Trouble
and was not able to do q days work
without great distress. I bought six
boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and after
I had used three boxes was all right
I am as we'll as ever, and I cannot
praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly.
II have given the other three boxes
to some friends of mine who had found
out what it was that had cured me SO
satisfac torily and quickly, and they all
speak highly Of Dodd's Kidney Pills

Tricked the Conductor.

On Sixth avenue man accompanied
by woman signaled an uptown car,
and the conductor saw them but gave
no heed. The car was going slowly
enough, SO the man was able to make
run and jump, land on the running
board and pull the bell rope.
But he did not step at that. After
he pulled the rope he held it tight, TAX
ing up all the slack, so that the sur
prised conductor had no purchase with
which he could sound two bells. So
the mans companion had chance to
board the car, and, having done so, he
released his hold on the rope.
The conductor, beyond murmuring,
who's running this car, anyway"
let the incident pass without further
comment.-New York Mail and Ex-

A "FAKlR's" CONFESSIONS.

Chicago, He Says, Is the Only "square"
/ City.
! In the current Independent are pub
tished the confessions Of street
{ 'fakir'' who for obvious reasons re-
mains anonymous, from which account
1t appears that the business is profit
able.
The fakir's real beginning as an IN
dependent operator was in Chicago, OF
which he says: Chicago is the only
square town in this country-that is,
square from a fakir's or grafter's
point of view. You pay for protec-
ton and you get it,
He paid the captain S. for week
for permission to sell knife sharpeners,
and gave the man on post about a
dollar a day. He was warned not to
try any tanning" or "slum" at this
low rate. These privileges cost $40
and SIS a day, respectively.
Tanning" is getting possession OF
the money of a crowd on the under
standing that it is 10 be given back,
and then whipping up a fast team
Of horses and driving away. "Slum''
is selling packages of jewelry. hand
kerchiefs, etc.
square" In Cleveland the confess
ing fakir paid for protection" and
was afterward arrested and fined.
Then he went to New York, concern
ing which it Is his testimony that 1t
is a town Of "easy marks" New
York is Closed" except just before
Christmas, but there is something do
Ing in "sneak pitches"-that Is, In
"sQuaring'' the man on post and sell
ing for few minutes between the
visits of the rounds" However, when
the artist tried it he was arrested by
the very man he had bribed, and
thence went to Philadelphia, Of which
he says:
philadelphia is the cheapest city IN
the United States. The policemen are
paid at the rate Of $1.75 per day, and
a fakir who gives one Of them quar-
ter for protection is hailed as Car
negie. For a dollar a day the guar
dian of the beat you are working on
will keep your territory clear Of other
fakirs and vote you prince Of good
fellows.
''There is not much money to be
made in Philadelphia by fakir, for
various reasons. First, the people have
an inherited trait of thriftiness; Sec
ond, they live their lives less fever
ishly than in any other large city of
the United States; and there are home
guards in the town, who take care Of
all the surplus cash floating around"
New York and Chicago are the head
quarters for new novelties, and ia
