Tho work Of the Man-kIlIsr


Here is record of the work oi
the man killer 10 this country during
the last three years, rs compiled by
Everybody's Magazine:
Murder. sass,,.. and homicide. 7sss @ So So; &;
Lynchings ......-........ 70 AVs
This is a total of twenty-five thou
sand, six hundred, sixty two murders
in three years, and Of two hundred
illegal executions in two years. Es-
timating the population Of the Unit
ed States at 75,000,0O0 this means
that one person out Of every 1890
WAS either murdered or lynched.
These figures reveal condition
positively appalling. In no othsr
civilized country on the globe is
there a parallel to it, and we doubt
whether there ever has been. But
the climax apparently has not been
reached, for the table shows q con-
stant increase each year. Nine hun.
dred aud eighty two more people
were killed in 1902 than in 1901,
and I42 more in 1903 than in 1902.
1t is safe to predict that 1904 will
be another record breaker, and that
the ten thousand mark will be pass
ed before it's end.
The reason for this carnival OF
murder is not difficult to find. A
disregard for law, born of and fost.
cred by failure to enforce the law
is alone responsible. The American
people, considered as a race, are nc
more criminal in their instincts than
the people Of any other nation. But
the individual who has murder in
his heart knows that the chances fol
acquittal are overwhelmingly in his
favor, and he is willing to risk the
slight chance Of punishment. II he
knew that punishment in the form oi
swift and certain death would follow
his crime there is little doubt Of tn,
deterring effect of such knowledge
The burden Of responsibility fol-
this condition rests on the people
and the judges and juries Of the
land. Fewer delays, fewer techni
calities, less n,sudlin sympathy for
criminals, less legal quibbling and
more justice are the remedies. Col

Of carnations as was President McKin.
ley and the day seldom passes tina
Senator Frye does not appear in the
chair with a red carnation in his but
tonhole. One day last week the SEN
ator from Maine appeared with two
carnations on his coat, and senators
who noticed the fact speculated as
to the occasion OF "Fryes extra gor-
geousness," Finally, the president pre-
tenn went down to luncheon. and some
one asked the reason for the supple
mentary floral decoration. Twins,
laconically replied the senator. AMI
when pressed for further information
he explained that his grandson, Wal
lace White. had just become father
and as this was the second grandchild
OF whose arrival he had been informed
this session he had determined to
wear two carnations In honor of the
occurrence. Wallace White was tho
senator's secretary last year, and, by
his uniform courtesy. and his strict at
tention to business, won the adrnira-
ton OF many senators. so that there
were several expressions Of regret that

ed the possibility Of drinking the health

was made.

CLUB GOES INTO BANKRUPTCY,
Chicago Business Women's orsaniza
ton Embarrassed

ZION CInOdTTdS9SO.
Chicago. April S.-Financial disaster
overwhelmed the Chicago Business Wo-
mans Club, one of the most progressive
women's organizations in the city. We'd
nesday. With the weight of $4,000 Ii
abilities upon their shoulders the direc-
tors of the club, acting upon the advice
of their attorneys. went into voluntary
bankruptcy and appointed Frederick A.
Hill. assignee.
Attempt to conduct the organization
upon too ambitious a scale was the
cause of the collapse. The income from
the yearly dues of the 800 members. all
of whom are engaged in business or the
practice of professions in the downtown
district, was insufficient to meet the
heavy monthly expenses resulting from
the wide range of activities into which
the club had overzealousiy plunged. For
several months the balance on the debt
side of the clubs books steadily In
creased, until decision was taken Mon
day night in a meeting attended by
most of the club women to assign under
the old state bankruptcy act, giving
each of the creditors an equal percent
age of the assets.

NEW YORK CLOSELY DIVIDED.
Murphy's Lieutenants Confident
Defeating Parker instructions.

| New York, April S.-Charles r. Muir
ply will go into the democratic state
convention to fight against the adop-
| ton OF resolutions tnstructing for
Judge Parker with at least 1872 votes
at his command. He will control the
vote of the delegation from Greater
Suffolk county vote. There will be $50
delegates in the convention and 22s
will constitute majority. On this
basis Murphy will lack thirty-four
votes necessary to give him control.
Murphy's lieutenants said yesterday
that even IL there should be no further
break from the Parker following David
b. Hill would not dare TO force the con-
vention to instruct with such a power
full array of votes as Murphy would be
able to control against him.
The Hearst managers have made
Murphy's fight against Hill and Park
err their own. They realize that If the
New York delegation is instructed for
Parker Hearst's chances OF getting the
nomination will be practically nil. and
hence they are concentrating their en-
ergies on the present fight.
Elliott Danforth has gone to Atlantic
City to have a talk with Mr.. Murphy,
and this move has given rise to the re-
port in Tammany circles that Mr.. Dam
forth is acting as an agent for Hill In
an effort to avoid friction at the state
convention. Mr.. Danforth's has been
Hills right hand man in the nursing
along Of the Parker's boom, and it is
expected that his visit to Atlantic City
will be productive of some develop"
ments that will have pronounced
bearing upon the situation.

A FITTING TRIBUTE.
A Citizen Of MarshalItown Pays a
Well-Earned Tribute.

A Citizen Of MarshalItown Pays a
WelI-Earned Tribute.
The following public statement Of a
respected citizen adds one more en-
phatic endorsement Of merit to the
scores that have appeared before:
Mis- w. II. Price, Of 303 Summit
street, says: Experience taught me
that Doan's kidney Pills. sold at Nc
Bride & Wills drug store. can be relied
on to cure pains in the back or other
evidences Of a disturbed condition OF
the kidneys. This Is Of considerable
Importance because there are great
many preparations on the market
which are worthless and after the suf-
ferer makes repeated attempts % OBJ
tain relief and the results are not forth
coming he naturally grows discouraged.
This too prevalent kidney complaint
seems to be one Of the Ills to which
nearly all our sex is heir, but the fact
that Doan's Kidney Pills are a sure
cure will be the means Of bringing
health and happiness to many who
have heretofore sought this boon with
out avail. I speak advlsedly because
the remedy not only relieved me per-
sonally of pain, but I am in a position
20 Judge from the experience OF others
whose opinions can be relied upon.

StimuIants and Nerves.

The canteen is defended by medical
authorities and by leading army Off
GERS. and opposed mainly by people to
whom temperance is a matter less of
scientific than OF semi religious
thought; and the army canteen is the
only national temperance issue at pres
ent, altho states and towns are expert
menting with various aspects Of prohi-
bition and license. We have just been
reading some Italian statistics which
undertake to show that children with
nervous diseases are usually the issue
of parents VINO drink. The statistician
found that thirty-one per cent of the
children whom he examined We're abb
normal nervously, a fact which he at
tributed in part to the stress of modern
life, but more especially to Stinulan is
taken by the parents, and among stdm-
ulants primarily alcohol. Facts, IS he
remarks, are more eloquent than DEM
osthenes. and he Is satisfied that the
facts connect drinking with the ner-
vous diseases which he deems peculiar
to our times. Actually the evidence
about the effects of stimulants in mod
GRAFTON is still insufficient. That drink
is a frightful evil nobody denies.
Whether to the temperate nature stim-
ulants in general, coffee, tea, liquor,
tobacco, are good or evil, is far from
proved. People living amid the city
rush, In the center of excitement, APP
parently hive as long as their relatives
in the country. and are as likely to be
healthy Nervous diseases may be less
the product of modern haste than the
discovery Of modern science. We are
all the time discovering new diseases
and all the time the death rate grows
less. We five longer as we understand
more. While 1t DIS clear, therefore, that
sttmulants of any kind are dangerous,
1t is not clear that nervous diseases
are more frequent than they were be-
fore they were discovered. and 1t is not
clear that the general excitement Of
life Is unhealthy.

been the most maligned honest man In
the state of Missouri. The police ma

governor, but the farmers have rallied
to the support of the ST. Louis prose
cutor and county after county is roll
ing into the Folk column.
The last month has witnessed re-
markable conditions in the state ot
Missouri. The governor is issuing
statements from the executive man

Mr.. Folk. The democratic machine IN
st. Louis has candidate in the fielc

State Senator Frank Farris to the state

Farris, the man the county Endorses,
has been tried once for bribery and is
to be tried again in June. There was

of Farris' attorneys has been indicted
for tampering With the jury.
Mayor James A. Reed Of Kansas City

Folk. Reed has the Kansas City police
regime with him. and has spent the last
two years of his term canvassing the
state and neglecting his office. Reed

Thirty-two counties have held prim

NOW DISCUSS THE PLATFORM.
Democratic Sentiment in Washington
on Parity Declarations.

Washington, April s.-Accepting the
nomination Of Judge Parker as a fore
gone conclusion, southern and western
democrats in Washington are discus
ing probable features of the platform,
to be adopted at the democratic ma
tional convention.
The trend of democratic sentiment
here is toward basing the campaign
on the record of the republicans IN
Washington during the eight years
the party has been in power. Extrava-
gance, reckless waste of government
funds, and corruption in the depart
ments will be, the cry.
A great deal is also being heard about
the alleged usulpation Of power by
President Roosevelt, and it is quite GER
tain that this will be feature in the
democratic platform. A larger degree
of self government for the FNlipinos
probably will also be demanded.
