For g brutal murder. one OF the worst
ma has shocked the Stato OF New Jer-
sey IN many years. Mrs. Anna VAL
entina, q woman in the prime OF life,
must die on the gallows II Hackensack
next Thursday. because the Board OF
Pardons finds no e~xtenuating circum-
tice which eliminated in a burst Of
murderous frenzy on March 10 last.
This miserable woman fairly cut to
pieces a younger and more beautiful
rival, the mother OF two little children.
She did 1t for love of a man. who is to

Wanted 10 Die Then.
Immediately after her crime she was
ready to die for it. She said she would
welcome any kind of an end TO a life
tina had been SO unhappy for her. But
weeks Of waiting, at times buoyed up by
hope and constantly receiving the con-

unsatished even by the butchery she
had Just performed.
The life story of Mrs. Valentino Is
told in a few words. She cam 20 this
country about ten years ago and worked
hard for a living. She managed to save
up $500, which she placed In a bank.
Then she met Michael Corlucci and fell
In love with him. She served him faith
fully, but after the first few months
the romance passed away from the
burly Corlucci and his grown son DOM
inic. and they began a course of brutal
treatment. under which the woman's
mind almost gave way. But she stuck
to Corlucci and endured a life OF alb
solute misery with patience until he
deserted her Tor another woman. Then
she killed the other woman.
Gave Him Her Savings.
Corlucci Is u mason-a boss mason
and a man OF more than ordinary In
tclligence. He lived with the woman in
Long Island City, and then moved
. with her to Lou, taking Dominic
along. At Lodi Corlucci decided to
settle for good. He said he would
build a house. and his mistress said
she would help him. She gave him
her $500 of savings to put in the house.
Then while he and some hired men
built II she carried mortar and brick
and lumber days and nights to ave the
expense of another laborer. She
cooked and kept house for them all
during his time, and did 1t cheerfuily
for the love OF the man.

Big Deal for Gas Rights Con-
summated at Chanute.
Cement Company Secures Option
ON $500 Acres.
COST THEM THOUSANDS
Concern Already Controls Leases
on About 1000 Acres.
Eleven Holes Are to Be Sunk in
Next Nine Months.

Chanute, Kas., Oct. Cone of the
most important deals which has been
closed in the Chanute field for some
time was consummated this week. 1t
consisted of the transfer by the Isett-
Irwin Cs1. and Gas company of the
gas rights of $500 acres of their
holdings to the Chanutee Cement com
pany. The land upon which the
cement company thus secures the gas
privileges lies almost in a body four
and one-half miles west of Chanute.
There are at the present time two
splendid gas wells on the property
affected by the transfer, and these be-
come the property of the cement COM
pany.
The consideration is not announced,
but it is said to have been goodly
figure, running up into the thousands.
One of the conditions of the sale is
that the cement company is TO drill
eleven wells in the territory WITHIN
the next nine months.
This deal is another of the series or
large investments of capital made In
the vicinity of Chanute by the cement
company. This concern already con-
the vicinity of Villas, and its new
acquisition, when taken in connection
with the $50 acres which it owns in
fee simple, gives it the exclusive gas
land. The new holdings lie in good
proven gas territory, and there is no
portion of it but which can be ex-
plotted with assurance that an ample
supply of gas may be found.
The efforts of the cement company
to discover gas in the Villas field have
SO far been a failure. Two wells have
been drilled. The first one, on the
Dulin land, was a "duster without
any mitigating circumstances. and the
second one, which has just been COM
pleted on the ]. H. Simmons land,
is an Oiler.

BIG GAME FOR TODAY.
Haskell and X. U. Clash on the Law
renee Gridiron.

| Lawrence, Kas.g Oct. 6.-Football
preparations for the game with Kan
sas university are over at Haskell in
stitute. and light signal practice was
the only work Coach Herrnstein gave
his men Wednesday.
| The Indians are. in excellent condi-
ton. Every man will be in his best
shape in the game today, and will
play to win. Captain Guyon said:
I'VE are going to play to win. we
are not confident, but we have Won
for the last three years, and are going
to do our best not to break the habit
Coach Herrnsteip was not as con-
has the best show to defeat US that
she has had for years If I were
coaching Kansas instead of Haskell l
should think had the better end of
hard, fast football. but it will be a
clean game. 1t will be the most
friendly game ever played between
Kansas and Haskell.
| The results of the KanSas-Haskell
games are: 1898, Kansas Is, Haskell
O; 1899, Kansas IS, Haskell 0, and
Kansas IL, Haskell O.. Two games
were played in 1899 when Yost was
coaching Kansas, but in 1900 there
was some controversy between the
schools and no game was played. In
1901, Haskell 81 49, Kansas 6; 1902,
Haskell %, Kansas 5; 1903, Haskell
-
three games played and Haskell the
| last three. However, Kansas has
scored 62 points and Haskell SO.
| The following Indians will start the
game: Captain Charles Guyon,. a
Chippewa, from Minnesota, in his
third year at Haskell, 165. left end;
Emil Hauser, a Cheyenne from west
ern Kansas, in his third year, and

The Missouri Tigers Are Doing
Some Experimenting.
Last Game Showed Several
Changes Necessary.
AVERAGE $50 POUNDS.
Is the Heaviest Eleven Sent
Out in 8 Years.
AT Least Is Pounds Heavier
Than That of 1908.
AVERAGE $50 POUNDS.

Columbia, Mo-, Oct. Saturday s
game with the Kirksville Normal
demonstrated that several changes
must be made in the lineup of the
Tigers in order to win from Simpson
college Friday, and accordingly Coach
Mclean made several experimental
changes in the lineup. Tillman was
moved from halfback to end; Gentry
played fullback in place of Ackerson,
who was still too much bruised from
the Saturday game to be on the field,
while Jordin and Green were used at
halves. 1t was evident from the
game with Kirksville that great i'm
prOvement is necessary at quarter
back, and during the practice yester-
day Coach Mclean gave special atten-
tin to Hedrick, while Edy Sails
bury, a new man from st. Louis, and
TrOwbridge, were worked hard also
The coach believes that by Friday
danger of repetition of the fumbles
which characterized Saturdays game
will be past.
An important addition was made to
the squad yesterday in Hans Wullf, of
st. Louis, who has played a star game
for three years. He will be tried out
at end in competition with Helm
buecher and Bigger on offensive and
at halfback on defensive.
The back field is the best the Tigers
have had since 1895. TiIlman, Green,
JOIoln anu NICHOLS are all good men,
and are making the race an interest
ing one. Akerson, at fuIlback, is a
crack kicker. and Gentry surprised
the coach by his showing yesterday.
The team, as it will line up against
Simpson. will average close to $50
pounds, and is the heaviest Missouri
has had in nine years, being nearly Is
pounds heavier than the team that
met Kansas last Thanksgiving. The
greatest need is for Improvement at
quarterback. and with four men COM
peting for the place, Coach Mclean
thinks Simpson Will find the varsity
hard customer.

TO SUE THE WESTERN UNION.
lola Man Wants Damages for a De-
IaYed Message.

lola, Kas., Oct 6.-Judge J. B.
Atchison, acting as attorney for Simon
Weller, will, it is said, institute suit
in the near future against the Western
Union Telegraph company for the
willful non-delivery of an important
telegram paid for and sent to his eli
ent Sunday before last.
The message in question came from
Mr.. Weiler's brother in Hanover, Kas.,
and told of the death of their father
in that city the night before. It also
contained request that he come home
on the next train as it was necessary
to hold the funeral as soon as possible.
This message, according to the pa
pers to be filed, was never delivered
and Mr.. Weller did not know of his
fathers death until Wednesday morn
ing twenty-four hours after the fu-
neral, when he received a letter from
his brother upbraiding him for not
coming in response to the message,
his seeming Indifference having made
the shock on their mother much worse
than it otherwise would be.

a business proposition. The action of
the department, which meant prac-
tically the throwing out of employ
ment of hundreds of women who have
been dependent for a living upon the
work at the arsenal, aroused much
comment in Philadelphia, and espe-
cially among members of various pa
triotic organizations. A delegation
called on the president, who after
hearing the facts directed that the
idea of having the work done by con-
tract be abandoned and that it be
given to the women as has been the
practice in the past. He then made
q request of the war department that
it should report to him what steps il
had taken in the matter and the rea.
sons therefor.
At the conclusion of the hearing. ]

representing the G. A. r., pinned t.

had been delegated by Meade post OF

sigma of his honorary membership Of
that post. The president expressed hb
pleasure at receiving the badge an(
at the compliment paid him by Meadt

GRIMM Drafts Newton.

San Francisco, Oct. 6.-Manager
Clark Griffith, of the New York Amer
lean league club, has fled drafts for
Doc Newton, pitcher, and Hal Chase,
first baseman, from the Los Angeles
team. When Griffith took Newton he
was not specializing with unknown
quantity for he is familiar with the
pitchers capabilities, but as to Chase
he sought the advice of his old friend
Danny Long, who gave the young first
baseman the highest recommended
ton. Long wrote Griffith: "Chase is
the best young player 1 have seen in
a lifelong, and I have no fear about
him not making good" Morley ex-
pected to lose Newton. He had one
offer of $4,000 for Newton, but he
was holding out for $1,000.

Is Britt Dodging Cans?

San Francisco, Oct. Sit is appar-
ent James Edward Britt would like to
avoid meeting Joe Cans in the ring.
In conversation with HEREFORD, Cans
manager, Willie Britt who manages
Jimmy's fight affairs, said Britt would
meet the colored boy if a proper divi-
sion of the purse could be arranged.
He said Jimmy would demand 5 per
cent of the purse win, lose or draw.
This staggered Herford, who called at
tention to the fact that Cans is the
champion, but Britt only replied that
Jimmy is the drawing card. There the
matter stands. HEREFORD in conclusion
said: ST don't care when we fight
providing it is within the next four
months; it makes no difference to
Cans, the sooner the better"

ITO manufacture this enormous
quantity of cement is a problem that
this country has only partly solved.
From 1880 to 1890 the imports of this
article amounted to an average of
S76, 497 barrels annually, while for the
period from 1890 to 1900 the imports
reached the enormous average of O.
3S4, 457 barrels per year. 1t seems that
Uncle Sam should wake up and make
an effort to keep UP with the de-
mands in producing an article of such
a sure market and paying prospects.
There is no doubt that the consump-
ton of cement will keep on growing
The lamentabIe decrease of our for
est reserves, the substitution of >ce-
ment for stone in building railroad
bridges and wagon bridges, the great
increase of works of irrigation and
sewering, the construction of military
Notifications, wharves, ETC., make a
further rapid increase a positive GER
tainty. We may also add that the
consumption of cement in this country
is still less than one-third of the
amount consumed per capita in many
of the European countries. Why
should there not be a rapid growth
of the cement industry in America,
and especially Kansas"

the contrary by outrunning the
