A FATAL AFFRAY AT MON.
ROE.
j. Il. Wilhelm Shot to Death by
Henry NJ. Eubanks.
Special to Charlotte Observer


Monroe, Jan q This morning
at IL O'Clock the people of this
place were much startled and
distressed to know that a trag.
edy''had been enacted in the
store room of the Heath-Lee
Hardware Company, wherein
Mr.. j. e. Wilhelm was shot to
death by Henry M. Eubanks
The principals are familiar
figures here and the news of the
homicide will be greatly de-
plored by their friends and &C
qua'ntances everywhere. Eu-
banks is son of Thomas G..
Eubanks, of this county, and
brother Of DR.. J.E. Eubanks,
the coroner of the county, He
came to Monroe about two years
ago and was engaged as sales
man by the Heath Lee Hard
ware Co. at the time Of the ia
tai occurrence. Last Sunday
he was married to Miss Lula
Doster, daughter Of Mr.. J. f.
Doster, of this county, at Wax
haw. Mr.. Wilhelm has been
living in Monroe six or eight
years and has been connected
with a distillery, a store and
p some lumber business here, and
latterly in South Carolina.
For some time he or his wife
conducted the old Central. Ho.
tel here and only moved out Of
it about the 1st of this month.
About Christmas some SEN
sational stories were to some
extent circulated as to an allie
ged occurrence between Wilhelm
and Eubanks at the Central
Hotel, where the latter boarded.
The facts as to that difficulty
are difficult to ascertain, as al
so in the present instance but
Eubanks came out Of it with
bruises about the eyes and
showed signs of having been
roughly handled.
This breach was apparently
healed until the developments
of this week showed the con-
trary. The facts as stated, are
closely withheld by those who
know anything, but, it is said,
Wilhelm approached Eubanks
last Monday for an affidavit to
clear up rumOrs This Eubanks
refused, except to clear himself.
Yesterday afternoon Wilhelm
sought Eubanks for another in.
terview, which was apparently
without result. Today about
IL O'Clock, while Eubanks was
engaged in measuring off rope :,
he was approached again by
Wilhelm and struck on the
head twice with a piece Of iron,
being felled to the floor. Eu
banks began to fire and shot
four times, three shots taking
effect. One ball struck the left
arm and ranged up into the
shoulder. One shot struck the
left side three inches below left
nipple, four inches to the left
of median line, ranging up
wards. One shot struck Will

Amusing Restless Children.

Tired Mother: With her multiplicity of
duties a mother should not attempt to plan
and assist in playing the games with her
children. Keeping up a series of enter
tainments for the children may instruct
them, but it will also beget idle dependency
and selfishness. Provide the little ones
with games and materials with which to
amuse themselves and in these materials
try and stimulate their inventive powers
and bring out any talent they may pos
sess. In this progressive age children re-
ceive too much ready-made knowledge en-
courage them to be self-reliant and by
sympathy and guidance show them how TO
do this and that but do not do IL for them.
Teach them above all else that toys and
garments must be put away in an orderly
manner. Taking the position that this
work is easier to do yourself or by the maid
than educating the children along this line,
has spoiled many characters and made
many thoughtless and selfish men and
women who should have been helpful and a
comfort in the home. To respect the
rights of others should be inculcated in
every child's mind as soon as il can I'M
derstand. BY systematic methods and
tact you can plan TO perform home and
social duties and yet leave a little time
for rest. BY all means manage to spend
a certain hour each day in reading and

Health for Mental workers.

Busy Woman: The fact that ones work
is almost wholly mental is the more reason
why the health should receive the very best
of care 1t is folly to say you haven't time.
Nature will not endure halfway methods
indefinitely and poor mental efforts will be
the result. To keep an active brain

ing, is necessary. To overeat with too little
exercise in the endeavor to keep up is "A
good deal like overlooking an engine without

for month and am certain you will feel
like new woman. Rise a haif-hour earlier
than is now your habit, take a quick
sponge bath, using tepid water. and a good
rundown, with scrupulous care as TO the
details of the toilet. Eat simple nourish-
ing breakfast; no fried abominations, hot
cakes or syrup to incite dyspepsia and
superinduce dull mental action. A brisk
walk of three or more blocks will bring a
glow TO the checks, and If deep breathing
is practiced, all the better. Fresh air will
do more than anything else to ward of
colds and tone up the system. Dress sensi-
bly, in garments that are as light as is con-
sistent with proper warmth and which will
allow proper freedom. At night walk a
few blocks on the homeward journey, for il
will be a relief after a day in an office.
Slip off all the clothing and rest for half
an hour before dressing for dinner. Battle
the face, brush and rearrange the hair, put
on a fresh gown and the dinner will be SO
per cent. more enjoyable.

Gowns Suitable for Weddings.

Elderly Mother: A handsome gown for
you to wear at the wedding of your daugh-
ter may be fashioned OF soft gray silk or
wolfe, trimmed with rich lace OF a deep
cream color, vest and lingerie sleeves OF
white chiffon, trimmings of cut steel beads
and touches of violet and black embroidery
on the bodice. Or the embroidery may be
of black and white. The stylish toque or
bonnet should be of black tulle. the edge
and crown embroidered in steel and let
black and white ostrich ponpon and aigrette
OF paradise plumes. If preferred. the gown
may be of black ring dotted net embroid-
cred with Jets and worn over a lining OF
white silk, preferably peau de sole. The
toque may be of black and white tulle jet

heliotrope silk, wolfe or one OF the new

Ida Hustled Harper, in Washington Post.
The womtn of Australia have not made
a thousandth part of the effort to obtain
this electoral privilege that has been put
forth by those of the United States. Why,
then, have they gained in dozen years
what the latter have not been able to
obtain in fifty? Beyond the conditions

try, the influence of the Labor party IA

lies the root of the whole matter. Suf-
frage can be extended in Australia by
legislative action. while in the United
States it must be granted by the existing
voters. No further explanation is needed.
Notwithstanding the favorable public
sentiment i'm Australia, il is doubtful If
woman suffrage could have received a
majority vote of the individual electors in
single State-certainly not in one con-
tanning large city. The opposition
could have defeated 1t by means which

the question decided by the picked
men of the legislative bodies and their de-
cision was final.
If the Congress of the United States
could by a single enactment enfranchise
the women of the whole nation, ii is
probable that sufficient influence could
have been brought to bear some years
ago to secure such action; but this body
has power only to submit for ratification
an amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, and there Is very strong sentiment
against any further amending of that
document If a State Legislature could
pass a bill which would confer full suf-
frage on its women, there is no doubt that
they could exert enough pressure to OBJ
tain such a law in a large number of
States. But all that any Legislature has
authority TO do is TO sumbit the question
TO the electors. This gives to every man

Gated or ignorant, moral or vicious-the
right TO say whether women shall share

Experiences of Woman Lecturer.

was nothing TO do but wait, and on a cold
corner; the audience in the hall waited
three-quarterS of an hour. Not long ago,
when staging through the redwoods of Cal

where i was due on the platform at
o'clock, delay occurred far UP the noun
tain. II seemed impossible to reach the
town in season, but furious driving on the
down grade, with gasping passengers hold
ing on for safety, finally landed me at my
destination, dust-covered and breathless. at
a quarter to s. That audience had to wait
fifteen minutes for me TO remove some of
the dust and be able to speak. and so great
had been the effect on the eyes of the Jolt
ing drive that when the platform was
reached ] could see nothing straight: il
would have been impossible to speak from
notes. These accidents prove that one must
