ON TRIAL OF MURDER.
Want Stranger Who Killed inc. Muir.
phy at keokuk.

Keokuk, Nov. 29.--Within two
blocks Of the police station on Sun
day morning at 6:20 o'clock, John
Murphy was mysteriously murdered
and the perpetrator of the deed is
not yet found.
Murphy left his home at 6 o'clock
and was coming down to a saloon
where he was employed, to clean up.
On the corner Of Sixth and Concert
streets, he was met by an unknown
ran, who fired one shot, which prov
ed fatal, the bullet entering the mans
body near the breast bone.
The murderer then fled and was
seen by several residents of the neigh
bOrhOod, but it was too dark to make
out his features. Murphy walked
half block to Sintons stable, where
the night Waterman met him at the
door. The wounded man said: Il
have been shot," and then fell over
backwards to the pavement.
The police were notified and he
was taken to the station, expiring
there without saying anything. Dali
ey's bloodhounds were brought down
town but not until many people hal
passed the scene and the hounds were
not used.
The dead man worked around the
saloons of the city and was an inof-
fensive, harmless man, who had no
enemies. There seems no reason
whatever for his murder

WORLDS FAIR CLOSES.
VIII Be Very Little for Stockholders
When Debts are PAID,

St. Louis, Dec. 2.--While it Is im-
possible to obtain The actual receipts
and expenditures OF the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition company before
the middle of December, Secretary
Walter B. Stevens of the worlds fair
made the following statement to the
Associated Press last night:
From reports that have been sub
mitted of the admissions to the
grounds up TO 8 o'clock tonight, we es-
innate that the attendance on
Francis Day will be a few thousands
IN excess of 100000, and that The at
tendance for the exposition period
will be in the neighborhood of 49,
100000.
I'm round number the exposition
company has expended $4,000, 900
since the inception of the worlds fair
project, and the expenditures of the
several states and territories have
reached a total Of 100000. The re-
ceipts since the opening day, April 80,
have been about s10,000,O00, consist
ing Of admissions and concession
royalties.
IN addition to these receipts were
the funds, amounting to about S12,-
o00,oO0. raised by subscriptions to
build the exposition.
while it is impossible to state ex-
actly the financial condition of the
Exposition company on this, the clos

ceptien OF few current accounts.
such as salaries, etc. and these will,
1t is thought. consume nearly all the
surplus, go that there will only be a
small amount left for the stock
holders.
From the amount OF royalties COL
lected by the Exposition company. it
IS estimated that the concession &C.
counts of the pike and ether parts of
the Worlds fair grounds have taken
in at least $1O,O0O,0OO."

Than $1,000
Men.
ASSAULT TO BE CONTINUED
No Cessation Until Port Arthur Falls
Flight On 2o3 Metre Hill Results
in Tremendous Losses to the Jap
anese, Who Never Falter.

London. Dec. 2.-The correspondent
Of the Daily Telegraph at Che 100
says that the attack on 2O3 Metre Mill
resulted in heavy losses to the first
division Of the Japanese stormers.
simultaneously with this assault the
correspondent says, men OF the Ninth
and Eleventh divisions advanced and
menaced the Rihlung and kekwan
forts. 1t is stated, the correspondent
adds, that within the last twentyfour
hours the Japanese casualties have
totalled $4,000, and it Is asserted that
the attacks have been planned to con.
tinue until December 10, when, it Is
hoped, the capture of Port Arthur will
be completed.
Toxic, Dec. 2.--General NOgi's tele-
gram announcing the storming and
capture of"30-meter hilp was re-
ceived with cheers by the Japanese
people. 1t reviyes the hope Of all
early capture of Port Arthur proper.
The people have never despaired OF
the success of the beSiegerS, but the
fortitude of the defenders and the
prolongatiOn of the siege which ex-
ceeds by months the most liberal pre-
liminary estimate of the time requir-
ed to accomplish the reduction OF
this strong hold has been a source OF
deep regret combined with the loss
of life and disappointments over the
fact that the siege has occupied such
Inv nE in
Field Marshal Oyama's strength at a
time when ne needed every available
man.
Yesterday was the date set under
the CONSUMPTION act, when recruits
could join the army. Cheered by the
news from General Nogi, thousands of
recruits throughout the empire
marched to barracks and donned uni
forms for the first time. Following
an honored custom the relatives OF
the recruits carrying flags and ban
ners, escorted the new soldiers to
their barracks. In Toxic yesterday

PORT ARTHUR IS
IN GREAT DANGER
The Report OF, Japanese Sue
cesses is Taken Sc
riousIy.
HAVE MADE GREAT ADVANCE
Are Reported In Position to Com
nand Whole Harbor If Rumor is
Confirmed, Military Experts Con-
slider Situation as Critical.

st. Petersburg, Nov S0.-ForeiGn
reports Of the fighting at Port Ar
thur are accepted here very serious
~. If the Japanese have taken 203
Meter Hill, as reported, and are COM
handing the whole harbor, it is be-
ieved that the situation IS critical.
Berlin, Nov. 30-A dispatch from
Toxic to the Taglische Rundschau re-
ports that the Japanese storming of
Port Arthur was abandoned on NO
vember 2S, because, though large
breaches had been made In the Sung
shu, Rihlung and Kekwan forts, the
Japanese were unable TO e-ter on &C
count Of the heavy fire from the other
forts and the resistance or the garrl'
son.
Mukden, Nov. ga Japanese cav
aryman who has been captured by
the Russians, declares that General
Kuroki is not dead, as has been
rumored among the Chinese.
There has been no important change
in the situation. Small skirmishes
are reported on the eastward, but
there is no sign Of a definite Japan
ese advance. %
London, Nov. 30.---Accordfrs to q
Toxic dispatch to the Standard there
is an unofficial rllmor that the Jap
anese hauled their large calibre guns
to the top of 203 Metre hill, from
whence their fire has sweep OF the
whole harbor.
This report doubtless goes beyond
the facts: but various dispatches III
dictate the progress the Japanese are
making in the reduction Of Port Ar
thur. Japanese here explain the
great Importance CT the capture OF
2O3 Metre bl, which, besides giving
command OF the harb0r, will serve as
j wide breach made by the wedge
the Japanese had previously driven in
between The Else group and the Rus
s.ans' last retreat in the ravines of
La Ot:e mountain. They declare that
retreat to La Otie will be effectually
cut of. and that it is not unlikely
that La Otie will be simultaneously
attacked in the final assault
Bennett Burleigh wires to the Daily
Telegraph from Che Foo that in the
last assault the japanese lost 4,0OO
III one hours fighting. They claim to
have captured two more of the north
eastern forts and a third, which is
part of the West Kekwan fort. They
claim Mr.. Burleigh adds, to have eff
fected Judgment at Pigeon bay, thus
turning the fort on 2O3 Metre hill,
and that they are now tunneling from
the gorge below La Porte hill, which
they hope first to. damage and then
to rush. The dispatch continues:
Desperate fighting is proceeding
daily, and the losses are admitted to
be excessive: but the Japanese insist
that Port Arthur must fall within
twenty-one days"
The Morning Posts correspondent
at Shanghai telegraphs that wireless
communication has been established
between the Russian consulate at
Che Foo and Port Arthur garrison.

beyond reason because his wife
refused to give him money,
Frank Billings, footracer and well
known here, shot and killed her in
Flo Johnson's resort, COG Cherry
street, at 1880 last night, and then
turning the gun upon himself pulled
the trigger and fell dying over the
PROSTATE form OF his wife. Both
lived about twenty minutes after the
shooting occurred, but neither spoke
word.
1t was a plain, well conceived act
of murder. 1t had been planned for
several hours and was the culmina-

Denver. Col, Dec. 1.-The supreme
court yesterday heard argument on
a motion which has an important
bearing upon the result of the election
of governor and members Of tie legis-
lature in this state. Attorneys repre-
senting the republican party have
asked the supreme court, which has
assumed original jurisdiction in the
local election cases, to order the Den
yer election commission to throw out
the entire vote of the precinct in
which it is alleged the courts order
relating to watchers was violated.
without an investigation to determine
the number of legal votes cast and
without opening the ballot box. Should
the court order the vote of this pre-
cinct thrown out the attorneys for the
republicans will demand similar &C.
ton in respect to about fifty precincts,
in which it is charged that the courts
orders were violated. All these pre-
cincts gave majorities for Alva Adams
for governor and by throwing out the
returns the republican managers hope
to overcome Adams majority Of about
10000 in the state and continue Cover
nor Peabody in office. The control of
the state senate also appears to hinge
upon the decision on this matter
After hearing arguments the court
took the petition under aGvisement,
but made no announcement as to when
a decision could be expected.

act of breaking the front door of the
Sargent grocery store. They called
to them to throw up their hands, but

Lykins and Conroy answered with
rife and shot gun and the battle
ragged for several minutes.
One robber was seen to fall. He

KNOCKS OUT THE
COMPULSORY LAW
Parents Can Claim They
Teach Them at
Home.
QUEER CASE AT SHENANDOAH
Parents Refused to Send Children
to School and Jury Promptly Ac-
quits Them on Trial-State Super
intendent Is Puzzled.

Des Moines, Dec. 1.--Compulsory ed
ucation in Iowa is seriously threaten
ed as a result of a test case tried at
Shenandoah in which jury has just
rendered verdict to the effect that
home education is an adequate defense
to a prosecution for failure to send
children to school as required by the
law -n
The verdict has created quite stir
in the office of State Superintendent
Riggs. 1t is feared that the defense
will be used by everybody and Will
have the effect of multiplying the law.
One consolation afforded by this
case lies in the fact that the jury had
to be shown that the pupils in ques-
ton had actually been sufficiently ed
ucated at home to be on an equality
with those who had attended public
schools, or approximately SO. This
test may prove the salvation of tue
law.
The case in question involved the
education of two children of Mr.. and
Mrs Frank Dek of Shenandoah This
couple has always declined TO send
their children to public schools and
an attempt was made to enforce the
compulsory educational law this fall.
The parents demanded 3 jury trial
and Mr.. Dek conducted his own de-
Tense. w.. r.. ~
It was shown that he End his w.Ie
were formerly missionaries engaged
in the African field. They have pc
culiar ideas about education and de-
cided to teach their children them
selves. They hoped to .quip them tor
work. The.- claimed that
they had uone their work conscien-
tiously and that their children were
as far advanced in tne common school
branches as those Of similar age who
had attended public schools regular
ly. The jury conducted IN examina-
ton Of the children and found this
to be fairly well sustained,
though the children seemed rusty in
some branches.
. The prosecuting attorney contended
that the Deks were not qualified to
teach their children according to
modern methods and hence were un.
able to afford equal advantages for
their education. Dek argued that the
modern ideas were all wrong and ap-
parently succeeded in convincing ,-.e
jury, as it quickly rendered verdic:
Of acquittal.
