SUPPOSED SLAYER OF. CHAUFFEUR
BATE CAPTURED in AN II.
LIMOS TOWN.
an EYE WITNESS TELLS HIS STORY
YOUNG FARMER SAYS HE SAW a
PERSON IN AN AUTOMOBILE
FIRE a SHOT.

Chicago, Nov. 23."Mr. Dove" the
alleged murderer Of William Bate, the
chaffeur whose dead body was found
in an automobile near Lemont, is re-
ported to have been captured at a
small station on the Rock Island rail-
road between Minooka, ILL.,, and Nor
ris, Ill.
Chicago, Nov. 23.-Eyidence has
been unearthed by the police indicat-
ing that Mr.. Dove" the mysterious
passenger who engaged the automobile
in which Chauffeur William Bate was
found dead with two bullet wounds in
his head at Lemont Friday night, was
in hiding in a Joliet boarding ghouse as
late as sundown Sunday night, forty
two hours after the crime was commit
ted. The clew, which sends the de-
tectives off on the first tangible scent
picked up since the finding of the
body, was discovered at Romeo, a vii
lage a few miles out of Joliet. Mayor
Crolius of Joliet, early in the day, sent.
word to the Chicago detectives at Le-
mont that the suspect was under sur
veillance and would be arrested within
twenty-four hours.
Frederick Doehly, a salOonkeeper at
Romeo, told the detectives that early
Saturday morning a stranger walked
into his barroom. He carried a shah
by canvas suit case to which was
strapped, with the lining outward, a
light overcoat.
The man walked nervously about in
the tavern for three hours when he
walked out and boarded a car going
in the direction Of Joliet.
Answered Description of Dove.
On the car rode Miss Farrell, the
village school mistress, who noted her
fellow traveller minutely. Her atten-
tion was attracted by his extreme ner'
vOusness. Both Doehly and Miss Far.
rell, when questioned blythe detectives.
described the man in detail. In every
point they pictured Mr.. Dove.';.-ss5s, e. 8 .
II. Hauser says the stranger stopped
at his clearinghouse in Joliet over
night. He was very nervous. and at
dark the next night he sneaked out
and went to the depot.
An eye witness of the mysterious
murder of Chauffeur Bate has been
found in John Hennes, a young farmer
who lives one mile north of the place
on Archer road at which the automo-
bile containing Bates body was dis
covered. Hennes said he was aroused
about IL o'clock by the noise of an au-
tomobile and just as the machine near
ed his place he heard loud voices, as
if the occupants of the machine were
quarrelling. He arose from bed and
saw an automobile passing in front OF
the house. The machine seemed to be
swaying from side to side, its occu-
pants were talking loudly, and one OF
them seemed to be standing up in the
rear seat. Suddenly the person in the
rear held revolver at arms length
and fired straight ahead. The machine
continued on It's way and Hennes
heard nothing more.

tence on a Mexican Judge.
Washington, Nov. %. Through the
American ambassador to Mexico, Gen
eral Powell Clayton, the state depart
ment has addressed a vigorous protest
to the Mexican government against
the sentence imposed by local court
upon Hermalao Torres, local judge of
the district Of Fuerta for his connec-
tion with the murder at Auguacaliente
de Raca. on July 10, last, Of Clarence
Way and Edward B. Latimer, two
American citizens. Torres, who, ac-
cording to reports received at the state
department, was the chief instigator
of the crime, received a sentence Of
ten months imprisonment and a small
fine which sentence this government
deems wholly inadequate. It is charg-
ed by foreign residents of the Fuerte
district that the court shielded Torres
at his trial and that Torres has threat
ened other foreigners.

Tried to Brbe Him.
Grand Rapids, Mich. Nov. 2S.-Ex-
Mayor George R. Perry, now on trial
charged with bribery in connection
with the Lake Michigan water deal,
made a sensational charge on the wit
ness stand during the day against
Liant K. Salisbury, chief witness for the
people in the water deal cases, who
alleges he paid Perry bribe OF $3,3SSs.
He swore that Salisbury made an at
tempt to bribe him previous to. the
water deal and during Perry's first
term as mayor. Salisbury then was at
torney for a local street railway com-
pany and wanted to get an ordinance
through the council He sought Per-
ry's help, the ex-mayor testified, saying
that there was a good thing in it for
the mayor as we'll as a good fee for
himself Perry refused, vetoed the or
dinance and blocked the council when
It attempted to pass the ordinance
over his veto.

prises and Improvements have been temper
arily postponed. perhaps. that is a condition
which prevails generally wherever there is
an extraordinary demand for money in
commercial channels. There is no such gen
eral suspension Of enterprises as marked
the years 1893 and 1894. The present time is
not at all comparable TO those times. At
that time New York city found il necessary
10 issue clearinghouse certificates. New
York has passed safely through the tight
money market of the past year, and, from
all accounts. the tide of easier money in
New York has set in. However, the appre-
hension of the rest of the country as TO
New York in 1893 does not exist in the West
to-day, perhaps, for the reason that the
West is far more independent of New York
now, and is keeping more of it's idle money
in the West. If the indications of an ac-
emulation of money in New York the next
few months are fulfilled, there is not apt
to be any financial trouble during the year
Just begun, although there may be a more
conservative tone in industrialism. 1t has
often been said that agriculture is the basis
of Americas prosperity. If this is true, there
is no trouble with our foundation, for the
farmer is now in better shape than he has
been in many years. His mortgages are
paid off and he has money in the bank.
s.. J. FLETCHER-The shrinkage in val
ues of securities and consequent liquidation
has had no appreciable effect in a local way;
the past year has been a prosperous one,
with business generally good, and. as far as
can be seen, the new year promises well.

congress in the Second district against

Specifically Mr.. Miller declares for
abolishing the present tariff on lumber
and for reducing the duties on ma.

greatly please us to see him nominated

Magazine. AS cover for his load Of
tea when rainstorm overtakes him
the Japanese farmer spreads over 1t
tough, pliable cover of oiled paper,
which is almost as impervious as tar
paulin and as light as gossamer. He
has doubtless carried this cover for
years, neatly packed away somewhere
about his cart. The rickshaW coolies in
