TIE BEDFORk MURDER.
Authorities Confident a we'll Know

Business war is 1uiity.
Bedford, Ind, Feb. Cit is believed
the mystery in the murder of Miss
Sarah Schafer is about TO be solved,
nent business man, not formerly us
pected. The motive for the murder
was to secure certain letters. The US
pect is trying to escape arrest, and a
close guard has been placed on all out
going trains. Late communications from
Elkhart to Mayor Smith are said to be
Of vast Importance in placing the guilt
on the Bedford man.
The boarders at Mrs. Martha john
SON boarding house are receiving
threats of an illuminating character
that obstruct efforts to get evidence.
An official in a high position states
positively the mystery is ~unraveled,
and an arrest will follow as soon as
the prisoner can tonight safely be ia
ken out of town.
Pathos in Girls Visit.
One recent discovery, which has at.
tracted much attention because Of the
pathos Of it, is the note written by
Miss Genevieve Iseminger, Sarah Scha-
fer's most intimate friend in Bedford.
Miss Iseminger called on Miss Schafer
the night Of the murder and found her
room empty.
The visitor waited, read and finally
wrote a note to the girl then dead,
leaving it in the room. The note was
as follows:
Dearest Sarah: Well, I've been here
long enough to take two maps, and since
l don't know what time Of night it is get
ting to be I'll truckle home.
1 came a little after 7 and supposed you
hadn't come home from supper so l just
walked in out of the rain, took off my coat
and sat down to study. l studied a while,
slept a while and then studied and slept
another while. The last time I awoke
decided that some one had carried you off
and that I'd better go home. Be careful
about leaving your windows down from
the top and you door unlocked; some
one might have gotten in and taken all
your wealth, but l did not. Don't think me
too nervy because 1 thought when came
in that you'd be here shortly. There isn't
another soul in the house, SO l am begin
ming to feel rather lonely. Don't let any
body carry you off while you are sitting
up here working tonight. Is this what you
call getting yourself up on tomorrow's
lessons? Good night. See you in the
morning. Genevieve.

COTTON TUM BLES.
Mar News and Other Advices Cause
Great Drop in the Staple on
New York Market,

New York, Feb. 6.-The utmost con-
fusion and excitement attended the
opening Of the cotton market again to-
day. First prices were Is to 80 points
lower than yesterdays close. Light re-
ceipts, the threatening outlook for war.
lower cables and lack Of supper from
New Orleans were weakening features.
The market became irmer later on bull
support.
The weakness Of cotton was accom-
panied by lower prices and a weak tone
on the coffee exchange.
The late selling was precipitated by
rumors that war had actually been de-
Jared between Russia and Japan. The
.umor caused the utmost confusion,
and it's effect showed the extremely
sensitive state Of the cotton market at
this time. From 1888, the best point
for March, there was a break to 14.77;
May went down from 1912 to 1909, and
July from 1922 to 1925.
Shortly before the close there was
another violent break in prices, May
selling down 116 points or more than
a cen per pound below last nights
close.
