THE voluntary pledge OF Judge Parker
that If ne shall be chosen President he
will not accept a nomination for sec
ond term lifts his candidacy out of the
ordinary run of politics. 1t is an as
surance that, unemtarrassed in pursuing
his own personal interests and ambi-
tions, he would be able to give his whole
time and energy to the performance OF
his constitutional duties as chief magis-
trate of the nation, and not be engaged
in electionearing for second tern.
Herein is new evidence that no mistake
has been made by the democratic party
It has chosen a leader who leads.

Alleged Murder Mystery Solved.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. Il.-After
three weeks of mystery that has agitated
the entire State, it has been established
that the supposed murder OF Mrs. Aliene
Butterfeld, of Greene county, has no
foundation in fact, and that she ran
away from home because she learned
that her husband had formed liaison
with another woman, homely, and old
enough to be his mother. Mrs. Butter
field would never have been located but
for the fact that she read a newspaper
account Of an attempt to lynch her hus-
band as a supposed murderer. Bloody
clothes mad been found in a field and it
was taken as conclusive evidence that
a murder had been committed. Mrs.
Butterfeld, who had found employment
here under an assumed name, deter
mined to save her husband, and wrote a
letter to the sheriff assuring him that
she was alive and that her husband was
no murderer. The sheriff came to Des
Moines and found the woman yesterday
after long search. She will probably
return home at once to secure the Gus
tody of her children.

JUDGE AUDENRIED, in Philadelphia
reversed himself yesterday, and declared
in favor of whipping post for wite-beat
ers. 1t was in the case of james Barr
who pleaded guilty to desertion and as
sault and battery on his wife, that The
iudge regretted the lack of this Od-tim(
method OF punishment. He was about
TO sentence Barr, when the prisoner
promised to do better if another chance
were given him, and, the wife being will
ing. Barr was discharged upon entering
security to appear when required. In
July, 1902, Judge Audenried said in an
interview on the ACCESSIBILITY of establish
ing whipping post, following a sugges'
ton of the grand jury;
The whipping post would tend to bru'
talize mankind. 1t is a degrading pun

an antediluyian age, and one that cannot
be restored to successful operation I'D

crease in the cases of wife-beating III
Delaware is due to the use of the whip

is the horror of the punishment that de-
ters the women from bringing their hus-
bands into court.
In view of this statement there was
much surprise in the Quarter Sessions
Court Yesterday when the judge fatty
declared in favor of the whipping post in
cases like Bars. Judge Better long ago
EXPRESSED his approval of the whipping
post, and Philadelphia grand juries have
repeatedly recommended its establish

Charges Against Omoials,

Huntington, w. Va, is excited over
the indictments returned against high
officials charging them with accepting
brides from keepers of disorderly resorts,
in order that certain privileges prohibit
ed by the city's ordinances may be en-
ioyed. Those indicted are Chief of Po-
lice Morris Davis, Lieutenant of Police
Samuel Davis, and Councilman George
w. Perry and George Pickering. The
indictments charge the officers and coHn-
cilmen with receiving 1925 from keepers
of resorts that they might sell spirituOus
liquors without license, Against the

ing him with receiving 500 from Jane

is by way of Berryville and the other is
by way of Boyce and wildwood. The
committee appointed to look over the
TWO routes are expected to make their
report in short lime, and work will be

after. There has been considerable oP-
position to the Berryville ronte, but

all our business houses, as well as

Makes an Odd Ruling.
Franklin, Pa, July 90. - S. P. Nc
Calmont, an eccentric millionaire who
died last week, devised way to pre-
vent intemperance among his heirs.
His will, just filed, excludes as bene-
ficiaries any child who INDUCES in the
use Of liquor, tobacco or narcotic drugs.
The entire estate goes into the hands
of the executor who shall manage it
and divide annually the proceeds
among only such children as do not use
tobacco, liquor or narcotic drugs in
any form or any quantity. Any mem
ber of the family who uses any of these
things may become beneficiary in the
estate by abstaining from the use for a
period of year. If the beneficiary re-
turns to the former habit, however, he
is again cut of.
Mr.. McCalmont carried his doctrine
to the extent of advising against the
employment of any man or woman on
the estate who smokes, drinks or uses
narcotic drugs.
There are two daughters and four
sons. All the latter are said to be
smokers.
