a lack of patriotism that the flag of our
Union was not floating over our school
houses on this National Memorial Day?
Should not the boys and girls be taught that
on this day of all others the flag should wave
above them?
Wave out, wave out, 0 starry flag,
o banner of the free,
Lift up, o grasses of the field
Your flags of freshest green.
Wave ont, wave out, o bOnny flag,
Bright banner of the free,
Wave out the false, wave in the true,
Let not thy waving cease
Till love and peace and purity
Shall fill our hearts forever.

CANNOT FIND THE BODY
Knapps Likely To kse nc Cincinnati-His
Criminal Story Correct.

Knapp's Likely To lie as Cincinnati-His
Criminal Story Correct.
Hamilton, O., Feb. 2S.-The search
ers for the body of Hanah Knapp,
wife No. 3, report no progress so far,
and if they Ito not find the shoe box
with body on reaching Lawrenceburg,
Ind, the dredging will be stopped
Mayor Bosch said: Unless we fipd the
body of the wife [Hannahl Knapp will
likely be turned over to the Cincinnati
police, where they have a case against
him, in which the bodies We're recov-
cred and to whchi he has confessed"
The Cincinnati officers say that he
evidently knows all about the killing
of Mary Ekhart, Emma Littlemann
and Jennie Corners in that city, as he
gives all the descriptions perfectly,
even to the kind of a towel found
around Mary's neck, the manner in
which her night clothing was disposed,
and all the surroundings. He is also
correct in his descriptions CT his VIC
tims-in complexion, size, traits, nabit,
etc.
The officers believe Knapp has
''strangled'' from the east to Kansas
City. Knapp yesterday received let
ter from wife No. 4, in Indianapolis,
and was visibly affected after reading
it He said he told his present wife,
Anna Gamble Knapp, Of all of his
crimes soon after they were married,
and that she replied: 1T don't make
any difference to me what you have
done"

$s,o0O,00O-Narrow Escape of
VIII Jones.

Cincinnati, Feb. 27.-Over one-half
Of the best square in Cincinnati was
destroyed by fire yesterday. The
square, bounded by Vine, Fourth. Wal
nut and Third streets, was conceded
to be the most solidly constructed por-
ton of the city. That half north of
Baker alley, with the exception of the
Carlisle building at the southwestern
corner of Fourth and Walnut streets,
is in ruins, while the American Book
company's publication house, the
Woodrow Printing works, the Yum
briel box factory and other concerns
on the south side of Baker alley are
also burned out The fire was burn
ing for twelve hours before it was con-
troled, and the city fire department
had help from all the neighboring
towns.
The total less is estimated at from
$1,5O0,000 to 100000, and it is dis
tributed among the occupants of four
large office buildings and other struc-
lures. Tile heaviest losers are the
American Book company and Robert
Clark & Co., whose losses total $780,
OC0.
Will Jones, well-known local
actor, was taken off the opera house
roof just before it fell in. He had
gone that way for safety and finding
no safety had written a message on
one of his cuffs and thrown it into the
street, where the firemen picked it up
and reading the message put up lad
ders and saved Jones, half dead, by
the "skin of his teeth"

Murder at First Laid to Burglars
Proves To Be Not So
Commonplace.
WELL-KNoWN BUFFALO MAN DIES
By the Hand of Some Person He Had
Himself Admitted and En-.
ter:ained.

Buffalo, N Y, Feb. 2S.-Edwin L.
Burdick, president of E. L. Burdick
& Co., and of the Fuffalo Envelope
company, was murdered early yester-
day at his home on Ashland avenue
in one of the finest residence sections
of the city. The theory at first ad-
vanced that the crime was the work
of a burglar was abandoned as the
now, while they say they have several
important clews, no arrest has been
made. Burdick was last seen alive
Thursday night at 1890, when he babe
the other members of the household
good night and started for his room,
apparently, with the intention of re-
firing for the night.
No Evidence of Burglary.
Yesterday morning his body. clad in
an undershir., was found lying on
couch in a small room off the lower
hall used by him as smoking room.
The body was covered with rug and
a number of sofa pillows. The couch
was saturated with blood, and the
walls and floor of the little den were
despatched with brains and blood. The
head had been crushed with some
blunt instrument. A thorough exam
ination of the premises gave no sign
of forcible entry, nor is anything of
value missing from the house. More
over, Burdick's bed had not been oc-
cupied, but his outer clothing-trou-
Sers, etc-were on the floor in his bed
room.
Food That Burdick Never Ate.
On the table in the smoking room
the detectives found bottle partly
filled with whisky and the remains of
light lunch Members of the fam
lily declare That Burdick never par
took of the food of which the lunch
was composed and never drank liquor
while eating. In this connection Chief
Cusack has given out the follow
ing statement: From what investi-
cations have made | would conclude
that Mr.. Budick was called down
stairs by ring or knock at the
door after he was ready for bed. for
he was clad only in his undercloth-
ing. He evidently admitted some one
he knew well and took the visitor into
the den for 4 talk. and to partake Of
the luncheon found there"
His Wife Not Living with Him.
The force with which the blows that
killed Burdick were delivered seems
to preclude the possibility that a wom-
an delivered them. Mrs. Burdick, the
murdered mans wife, left home two
months ago with the intention, it is
said, Of not returning. On Dec. 8 pro-
ceedings for divorce were fled in the
county clerks Office by Burdick. 1t Is
understood that Mrs. Burdick went to
Atlantic City. What connection Bur-
dicks domestic trouble may have had
with the crime the police do not pre-
sumo to say.

SAME THING IN TIE SENATE


@~e~~.4ss0
Things There.
Washington. Feb. 2S-A determined
effort on the part of Cullom to obtain
Morgan's consent to fix time for vot-
ing on the Panama canal treaty was
made while he senate was in execu-
tive session yesterday, and was met by
just as determined opposition on the
part of the Alabama senator. In max
ing the request Cullom said that the
United States had been trying Cor fifty
years to get canal across theisthmus,
and he appealed to Morgan not to
stand In the way Of the consumma-
ton Of this aspiration.
He first asked for a vote tome ROW.
then for a vote Monday and tly a
vote Tuesday. but each request was
refused. II think" said Cullom, 1.-The
senator is making great mistake. The
whole country recognizes his great
services of the past twenty years in
the interest Of a canal connecting the
two oceans. Indeed, he may be called
the father Of the isthmian canal, but
it certainly would seem that by his
present opposition to the Panama
treaty he ie strangling his own on
spring." I
To this Morgan replied He said
that his interest in a canal is now
as great as IL ever was; that 1t was,
indeed, so great that he felt he owed
it to himself and the country to exert
himself to the utmost to prevent. the
ratification OF treaty which he felt
to be so full Of defects as the pending
agreement. He then complained Of
the refusal Of the senate to allow him
to discuss the treaty in open session.
The country. he said, ought to know
just what it was going into, but 1t
could not knew so long as the doors
were closed every time the treaty was
mentioned.
Most senators believed that the re-
fusal to fix time for vote means
that the treaty cannot be ratified be-
fore the close Of the present session.
The house was all daylight hours
adopting special rules and under
these forcing through the Democratic
opposition the agricultural, sundry
civil, military academy and postoffice
appropriation bills into conference.
