There Are Many Such.

Down at Howard not long ago a
young man was found guilty of muir
der in the first degree. His victim was
his child-wife. In speaking of the
case the Howard Courant reviews the
circumstances in the following pointed
style:
"He used to whistle her 80 the gate
and take her out on moonlight walks.
Her parents, though they may have
objected, did not, or could not put a
stop to it. He was young, sporty,
'tuff, chap, and the Is year. old girl
thought him the sweetest thing on
earth, and she should die without him.
She also insisted that she was old
enough to love, to choose husband
and to marry-so when papa and

Craddock Was Right.

Two years ago, when w. 81. Grad
dock and w. j. Bailey were candi-
dates for gubernational honors, they
held Joint debates-two of them. One
was in Wichita and one was in Tope-
ka. The debate in this city was at
tended by one of the largest crowds
that ever was in the Toler auditorium.
Men of all parties were there, and
both speakers were greeted with UNI
usually hearty demonstrations.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Craddo ck took as his slogan, taxa
tion. In the course of his remarks he
said that if the republicans succeeded
in winning at the polls that fall, the
taxes of the railroads would be lower
ed, while those of the common people
the farmers and the business men
would be raised. The man who later
was elected over him, laughed at the
assertion and declared that Mr.. Grad
dock was false prophet.
Evidently Candidate Bailey had
with him on that ticket, and believed
that they were as honest in their eff
forts to lower the expenses of the COM
mon people as he was. Governor
Bailey now knows better. He knows
as every one else knows who has given
the matter thought, that the predic-
tion made by his opponent that night
was true. The assessment board +,
board of equalization or whatever one
chooses to call it, did exactly what
Mr.. Craddock said would be done. 1t
raised the peoples taxes nearly %
millions, while it lowered the assess
| ment of the railroads more than
$500, 900.
On the face of the returns, this looks
like mistake, as the railroads paid
this year slightly more taxes than be-
fore: but as pointed out in Judge
Dale's speech, the rolling stock,
tracks and other railroad property
have been increased over $500, 200, SO
that the reduction was made as Mr..
Craddock predicted.
Yet the same men who were respon-
sible for this raising of the people
taxes and for the lowering of the
taxes of the corporations are candi-
dates for reelection, Governor Bailey,
who stood the brunt of the fire in the
campaign, who denied that the dis
elimination against the common peo-
pie would be practised by the admin
istration, and who was powerless to
prevent it, was turned down for re-
nomination.-Wich Beacon.

her hero and they; were married. Then
it was different. She awoke to the re-
aliZation that he was tough, spoiled
wild, unkindI and brutal. She grew
tired of cruelty and neglect and her
love for him probably died, her idol
was shattered. Her hero was just an
ordinary cheap boozer and scrapper,
and she rebelled and went home. By
the death of her father she inherited
some money and hubby naturally
wanted to stay by her and her money.
She gave him the marble heart, so he
murdered her and tried to- take his

the latter act and when the jury took
the case it was not fifteen minutes till
they pronounced him guilty of murder

condemn him to death by hanging.

by the wax they We're comparatively
soft and penetrable.
The conclusion was obvious. True
to my instinct in this matter, the wo-
man had not lifted her weapon in dark
ness; this candle had been burning.
But here my thoughts received fresh
shock. If burning, then by whom had
1t since been blown out? Not by her;
her wound was too fatally sure for
that. The steps taken between the
table where the candelabrum stood and
the place where she lay were taken,
If taken at all by her, before that shot
was fired. Some one else-some one
whose breath still fingered in the air
about me-had eXtinguished this candle
flame after she fell, and the death !
! looked down upon was not a suicide,
but a murder!
The excitement which this discovery
caused to tingle through myevery nerve
had its birth in the ambitious feeling
referred to in the opening paragraph of
i this narrative. believed that my long
sought for opportunity had come; that
with the start given me by the con.
viction just stated l should be en-
abled to collect such clews and estab.
lish such facts as would lead to the ac-
ceptance of this new theory instead of
the apparent one of suicide embraced
by Hibbard and about to be promul-
gated at police headquarters. If SO,
what triumph would be mine and
what debt should owe to the
grabbed old gentleman whose seeming
ly fantastic fears had first drawn me
| to this place!
| Realizing the value Of the opportur
nifty afforded me by the few minutes 1
was likely to spend alone on this scene
of crime, proceeded to my task with
that directness and method which
had always promised myself should
characterize my first success in detec-
tive work.
First, then, for another look ut the
fair young victim herself! What line
Of misery on the brow! What dark
hollows dishguring cheeks otherwise
as delicate as the petals of rose! An
interesting IL not absolutely beautiful
face, 1t told me something could
hardly put into words; so that it was
like leaving fascinating but unsolved
mystery when finally turned from it
to study the hands, each Of which pre-
scented separate problem. That Of
fered by the right wrist you already
know-the long white ribbon connect
ing 1t with the discharged pistol.
But the secret concealed by the left,
while less startling, was perhaps fully
as significant. All the rings were gone,
even the wedding ring which had been
placed there such short time before
! Had she been robbed? There were no
