station. The court chamberlain, in the
names of the Queen and the Prince.
Consort, laid on the coffin beautiful
wreath bound by ribbon inscribed
with their initials. Some of the Cabinet
ministers were present as representatives
of the government.
When the remains of the former
president reached the station about 100
persons were in the waiting-room in
specting the wreaths. Thescene was not
very impressive. Spectators sometimes
raised their bats, but they smoked and
bore an air of idle curiosity.
The hearse was drawn by six horses
and was followed by procession con-
sistiug Of 40 carriages and many per
sons on foot. The representatives oi
the court and two of the Cabinet min
listers had left the station after offering
their condolences.
The cortege, which was preceded by
the Burgomaster and detachment o.
mounted police, traver'ed a picturesque
route to Elkendrinen Cemetery, where
the coffin was placed on a catafalque in

HUSBANDS TERRIBLE CRIME.

Frank Sattlethight, the Princess Anne
wife murderer, who has been terrorizing
the Virginia Beach section, is believed
to have been seen on the streets Of Nor
folk. Information TO this effect was fur
nished the commonwealth attorney OF
Princess Anne county. When the sher-
IFS posse which was sent to search his
fathers house arrived there the elder
Sattlethight was found on guard. de
welcomed the officers, but said he was
there to repel mobs. The posse found
no trace of the wife murderer.
Miss Lizzie Cornick, sister of the dead
woman and the only eyewitness TO the
murder, has given out statement re-
citing the details Of the brutal crime.
"My sister and | went to the sham
battle OF the Virginia troops at Cape
Henry Friday" she said. "Frank was
always unreasonable with my sister. He
seemed 10 want her to stay at home ali

in reply to a request from Alice, told her
not to 20 to Cape Henry. Very rarely
going away for few hours recreation,
she determined to go anyway. We went
to Cape Henry, saw the sham battle and
had an enjoyable time together. On our
return home we were met by Frank in
the middle of the road about 200 yards
from the Sattlethight house. He spoke
roughly to Alice, guarreling with her all
the way home. When he entered the
cottage Franks anger increased, and he
began using the most violent language
toward my sister. She was standing be-
fore sideboard mirror in the little DIN
ing-room. her hands raised ab1ve her
head in the act of removing her hat. Sud-
denly Frank snatched the hat from her
head and hurled it across the room. At
she same time he grasped monkey
wrench from the table and dealt my Sis
ter fearful blow upon the head. She
screamed again and again as he rained
blow upon blow about her face, head and
shoulders. He tore her clothes from
her body and assailed her with demonia-
cal fury. The blood spurted in every
direction, covering my sister, besmear-
ing Franks own clothes and spa.sering
the walls and ceiling. was too hor-
ri6ed to move or utter an outcry. While
he was still beating her with the monkey
wrench and battering her skull into
pulp, as she lay on the floor a helpless
heap, | ran from the room, out into the
night, along the dark, muddy road to

than anything he could get from the
doctor. If ANY physician in this country
was able to compound a medicine that
would produce such gratifying results

Those Wonderful French Cattle.

If Walter T. Griffin. United States
commercial agent az Iinogues. France.
IS not either over-enthusiastic or has
been rnisinformed. the cattle breeders
of this country have been overlooking
a good thing in French cattle. In a
recent report to the state department
Mr.. Griffin says:
Attention has often been called to
the Limous.n cattle, there being no
breed known that is SO well adapted for
beef as the hardy naive Limousin
stock They far outranls the Durham.
or any other breed. fo- this purpose.
This breed Is particularly robust. cas-
lily nourished and fattened, and has all.
the prime characteristics for produce
ing first-quality beef. II these cattle
were imported Into the United States
and crossed with the native stock they
would improve the quality and be
great benefit to the producer. There
Is registered herd book. and all In
formation can be easily obtained"
or course 1t is possible that. In
securing the earth in search of cattle
with whic, 10 improve The quality and
quantity of bAef produced in this
country, American breeders may have
overlooked bet In the case of these
Dimousin cattle. 1t would be strange,
too, IL they had, for they have gone
into Every hamlet in France in search
OF the best draft horses the country
produces. In their presentations over
France 1t would appear that American
horseman should have heard of these
wonderful cattle. and Investigated
them. We are inclined to the belief
that Mr.. Gr!ff1n's knowledge OF beef
breeds of cattle is somewhat limited.
Thds belief is strengthened by his
comparison of the French cattle with
the Durhams. A couple of generations
ago Durham cattle were frequently
spoken of. but these days the word is
little used The use of 1T indicates
that the user acquired his knowledge
Of cattle couple or three decades ago.
Since then the Durhams have been
swallowed up by the Shorthorns, and
the Herefords. Angus and Gallowayal
have come to the fore as leading beef
breeds. Mr.. Griffin evidently hasn't
kept up with the procession. and there
does not appear to be any occasion for
worry lest these wonderful Limousdn
cattle should supplant all other beef
breeds in popularity In the near future
as result of his discovery"

TAxEs AND THINGS.
IMontezuma RepublicanI


One of the biggest howls that goes
up against the present tax law is on ac-
count of the alleged injustice of collect
ing taxes on real estate and then COL
lecting taxes upon a mortgage covering
the same piece of real estate. There
is injustice in the method, but did you
ever notice that in nine cases out of
ten IL is the man who holds the mort
gage and not the owner of the mort
gagged property who is doing the kick
ing? 1t would look on the face of 1t
that farm or other piece of real es-
tate should be taxed at its assessed
valuation, less the assessed valuation
of any mortgage that may be against
the property. There is such tendency
however, for the average American to
speculate on other peoples money that
the best thing for all concerned is to
tax them going aud coming, In other
1t will have tendency to shut off over
speculation and imitation of values. so
much the better for the double taxa
ton system as 1t may be termed. But
by all means tax the mortgage and If
there are not enough tax ferrets now in
the business to find them all. put In
some more. Until the day comes when
all men will pay their just debts and
their just proportion OF taxes without
method Is necessary to make them
come to time
