Did Not Live With Wife.
Handy was married, but it is said
did not live with his wife She. it is
said, has not been seen or heard OF
since his death. The painter was a non
union workman. and lived with his sis
ter. Mrs. Thomas David Shank, in
Anacostia.
Mary is next to the oldest of six
daughters, and knew a great deal about
her uneless business. He seemed fond
of her ana talked often to her about his
trials and worries
4 letter which seemed to eorroborate
what the niece says was found III Ham
by.s vest pocket when his body was
searched a the norsue. In IT reference
was made 10 the fact that he did not
keep an engagement. It is believed that
the reason for this was that the man
that Miss Shank speaks of prevented
him from doing so. Part Of the letter
follows:
A Letter From sKate.n
My Dear Friend Mr. Handy: You did
not keep your engagement with me for
last Sunday, although I expected yoa
and was much put out Be sure TO come
have Il long chat with you. / broke an
engagement TO keep the one with you
and was disappointed. Was sorry TO
learn that you had been sick Give my
love to your sisters, as | think they are
aWfuliy nice. KATE
May Have Been Confederate.
The police are inclined to think that
the woman may have been Il confederate
of persons who sought to harm him and
was Turing him into a trap. This is the
positive belief of the relatives Of the
dead painter. They know of no friend
OF his by the name of kate they say
and prior to the receipt of the letter in
which the engagement was mentioned
they know of no correspondence the
uncle of Miss Shank had with the wo-
man.
The niece said her UncIe returned
earlier than he was expected on the
night he started to meet some one. He
told the felix's at home of what had oc-
Cured while on his way to the tryst-
ing place.
'That's Funny" He Said.
"W hen my uncle came home that
night" said Miss Shank. '.he remarked
upon the strange happening. That is
funny, said my uncle While [ was
walking near the place man came up
to me and warned me saying. BE care
fui. stranger. you're watched My
uncle inquired as to who was watching
him and the stranger said: It's woIn-
an Don't stop me or she II see me talk

moved off and uncle concluded that he
had best not go to the place of meet
ing We did not think seriously Of the
affair But the second letter III which
some one told him that they Were dis
appointed ct his not having kept his
enga cement aroused our suspicious. He
did not pay much attention to the let

The discovery of this letter and the
statement of the niece sheds a new light
on the death of the man, and the police

VALUE OF EDUCATION
IN DOLLARS AND CENTS.

The average educated man gets a
salary of one thousand dollars a year.
He works forty years, making a total
of forty thousand dollars in a lifetime.
The average day laborer gets one dol
lar and fifty cents a day, three hun
bred days in a year, or tour hundred
and fifty dollars in a year. In forty
years he earns eighteen thousand dol
lars. The difference, or twenty two
thousand dollars, equals the value Of
an education. To acquire this earning
capacity requires twelve years at
school, of one hundred and eighty days
each, or two thousand one hundred and
sixty days. Divide twenty-five thou
sand dollars, the value of an education,
by two thousand one hundred and six.

worth a little more than ten dollars

OUR COLLEGE DAYS ARE
OVER.

When our college days are over.
And we launch our bark OF life
On the sea where many a rover
Has been tossed amid the strife:
1t will not be all smooth sailing
On this great and restless sea,
VIII beat down on you and me.
But we've passed the shallow inlet,
Now IL anchors at our sides
With our faces fixed toward sunset,
And our learning for our guide.
Straight, Straight onward toward the
pillows
Where they lash themselves in foam,
For We're resting not on pillows,
We are steering far from home.
Life is but a mighty ocean
And We scholars, sailors be,
Our knowledge. but a rudder
That guides our banks to sea.
Some of us are skilful pilots
Others climb the masts of toll
Many on the decks are stroling
For us all the ropes to coil.

PAUL CASE.

Every loyal, tr]ue-hearted American
will approve the action of the presi-
dent and Attorney General Moody in
the case of Mr.. Paul Morton. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is not the man to urn
his back upon a friend without a fair
and impartial hearing and when he
had sifted Morton's case to the bot
tom n found that he was not cogni-
zant of any wrong doing on the part Of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad, he at one reached the conclu-
sion that it would be unjust to insti-
tute proceedings against him person
ally for the actions of the corporation.
Paul Morton had directed the officers
and agents of the company under him
to strictly comply with the law. This
is proved by his written instructions
attic time and also by the testimony
Of others.
The president has not attempted to
shield him because he was a member
Of the cabinet, 0 has he tried to have
him prosecuted because of that fact.
He holds that a member of his cabi-
net, however, is entitled to at least as
much consideration as any other citi-
zen.
President Roosevelt is a'so of the
opinion hat if the Atchison road is to
be prosecuted for violations of the Ell
kins law, other corporations guilty of
like violations should be prosecuted.
and he SO directs. All he asks for in
the entire matter is that equal and eX-
act justice shall be done all parties.
In the correspondence given to the
public is a personal letter from the
president to Mr.. Morton which should
be a source of strength to the latter
through all his years. If in his past
life he has ver been inclined to finch
from his full duty, the future ought to
be safe. The president expresses full
confidence in his strict integrity and
absolute honesty under all conditions,
n frankly says so He says he will
not congratulate him now upon his
election to The management of the
Equitable Assurance society, but pre-
fers to wait until he takes off the har-
ness. The portion of the presidents
letter referring to the Equitable is so
good that we give it in full. 1t will be
of lasting benefit to the insurance COM
panies of America and to the bust
ness world:
Since l accepted your resignation
as a member of my cabinet you have
perhaps, the greatest and
most important work now open to any
business man, in assuming control of
the Equitable Life Assurance society.
You do not need to be told again the
confidence I have in you and my belief
in your absolute sincerity Of purpose
and your %unflinching courage. I know
that from the mere fact that you have
consented to take control of the soci-
ETY., means that there will be a clean

Very gratifying is the recent report
from official sources that the officials
of the Burlington Will meet here at an
early date to make Z final decision in
seasuH 1t is the belief of those in a
position to know more tran the general
public that the road will begin active
construction work zen, month. 1t is
not so certain tina, the line to Their
mopolis will be butt tins season. AT
Kirwin the road has assurance of i'm.
mediate tonnage sufficient to make this
road a paying proposition, while at the
latter place the only immediate source
of considerable gain would be that
from the reservation opening. The
Kirwin line would insure the patron
age Of the entire basin until the North
western builds into it. This move is
not expected for some time. according
to the present announced plans of the
Northwestern. That road will proba
ing a town near the mouth of Poison
creek. This would deprive the Bur
lington only of the Thel mOpolis trade.
Should the Burlington build to Their
mopolis and the reservation, it would
be at the cost of "A long and expensive
line, and would have to share the
Thermopolis IL reservation business
With the Northwestern. Building to
Kirwin. the Burlington would enter a
paying territory all its own, and only
lose its share of the reservation bust

The best disiufectant of all Is sunlight,
1t destroys by its very brightness all sorts
OF germs and at the same time helps the
growth of plants and animal life. Doubt.
less all have noticed that mould grows
during the night and in dark, damp cellars.
Bright sunlight quickly destroys germs,
mould or other organisms. That is why il
is best to let the sunlight into your houses
for its purifying influence.
At the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti.
tute, Buffalo, N. Y, DR.. Pierce, chief con-
sulting surgeon. started experiments, some
three years ago, with the Finser light in
conjunction with the X.ray in the treat
nient of diseases. He got excellent results
therefrom, and was among the first TO adapt
this remarkable cure to many cases which
it was formerly supposed must of necessity
be treated by the knife.
Not only is DR.. r. V. Pierce notable for
his surgical achievements at his hospital in
Buffalo. but nearly a third of a century ago
he discovered certain roots and herbs
WHICH were natures remedies, and sue
ceeded IN putting them up in a form that
would be easily procured and ready to use.
This he called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t maintains the patients nu-

and assimilate nutritious food. 1t over

FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1905.

A moral wave of huge proportions
has struck the city of Deadwood. The
home of Calamity Jane, Wild Bill and
Deadwood Dick is to axe a social
rise. Every saloon keeper in the coun-
ty has been ordered by the sheriff to
take down all screens from the front
windows and to remove all pool tables,
chairs, etc, from the rooms, in com
pliance with the state liquor law. Fol-
the first time in 30 years the saloons
have been made to comply with the
state laws. There has been a general
exodus of gamblers from the northern
part of the Black Hills since gambling
was stopped on Monday. There are in
Deadwood two dozen saloons, and the
removing of the screens will cause
half OF them to close. The gambling
and liquor laws are to be strictly en-
forced by States Attorney Parker.
