A FAMILY KILLED
Mother and Five Children Found
lfeless on a Farm Near
independence, Iowa.
FATHER SUSPECTED OF CRIME
Victims Heads Crushed in With :
Hammer-Man Believed to Be
insane.

independence. Iowa, Nov. 25.-The
bodies of Mrs. William McWilliams
and FIVE children were found yesterday
in their home on the McWilliams farm.
and the husband and father is under
arrest here charged with the murder
of the entire family.
Evidently the mother had been killed
while preparing a meal, probably din
ner. for when the bodies were found
food was on the stove cooking. She
had been killed by blows of hammer.
and her skull was crushed. Then she
had been hacked with a knife.
Call In One at Time.
After her murder the children evil
IDENTIFY had been called in one by one
and murdered in similar manner, for
all wore clothing that indicated that
they had been at work on the farm
just before death.
The babe. not years old. when
found still wore hood and mittens, and
had in its hand a piece of buttered
bread One blow of the hammer had
sufficed for il, and then the murderer
laid it in its mothers arms.
The only evidence of a struggle was
found in injuries sustained by the l6-
year-old daughter. Her hands We're
badly lacerated where she apparently
had clutched at the knife.
The murder was discovered by
milkman named Saunders, who called
at the house TO get milk. When officers
reached the house no trace of the hus
band could be found. but an abandoned
suit of his clothing was found, smeared
with blood.
Cooley Tells of Tragedy.
Later il was learned from rural
mail carrier that McWilliams was seen
on his way to Independence in the af-
ternoon and that he coolly told the car
rier that his family had been killed.
He came into Independence by cir
cuitous route. and was not found until
evening. McWilliams denies his guilt,
but evidence connects him closely with
the crime II is generally believed
that he is insane. although in his talk
with the officers he gives the impress
sion that he is sane He long has been
known as a sullen man and given to ug-
~ manifestations of temper.

THE plan of raising the dam has
been suggested as a cheaper way to
deepen the channel where slack water
navigation is necessary. than blasting
the rock ont of the river bottom. The
government has been buying land that
will be submerged by the increased
overflow and this may have given rise
TO reports that water power privileges

Has Rights Below.

Il still have the water power rights
at Sears" said he, but the raising of
the dam will not affect it in any way,
because the dam is above TIE rapids,
from which the power would have to
be derived. There is only about four
foot fall at the dam itself and this will
be increased to perhaps six feet if the
dam is elevated This would amount
To nothing for power purposes, OF
course There is fall of about IS
feet on the rapids but here there is
back water to contend with. besides
the lack of sufficient volume at certain
times in the year TO furnish high po-
tential. For these reasons nothing has
been done in the past and nothing is
likely to be done in the future. so far

THE CITIZENS BODYBUILDING
ASSOCIATION.
In this issue of The Advertiser
is published the charter of the
Citizens Road building Associa-
ton, organized in Lafayette on
the 18th instant.
A glance at the names of the
merchants and business men
composing the Boardof Directors
gives the strongest assurance
that in such good hands some
real work is going to be accom-
plished in the direction of secur-
ing a permanent system of good
roads in. the parish of Lafayette.
The amount of trade that is
lost to the merchants of Lafa-
yette every year on account Of
bad roads runs high into the
thousands of dollars, and so all
the merchants and business men
will find it to be their interest in
every way to give regular and
particular attention to the sub
ject of good roads, for nothing
else will give them larger and
more lasting returns in their
business than the time and
money they may devote to main
tanning a good system of road
ways leading to their stores
from every section of the coun-
try.
1t is not only the merchant
who is effected by the condition
of the public roads, but the
banker, the farmer. the doctor,
the lawyer, the artisan and all
other members of the community
have a personal as well as a
general interest in the matter.
And the mutually of interest is
so strong between all the diff.
ferent business, professional and
social elements which go toward
making up the life of the town
and country, that all are bound
to share in the losses and gains
of each other either directly or
indirectly.
The question of public roads
is essentially connected with the
life and prosperity of the people
as a whole, and being q question
OF such vast Importance it should
receive intelligent and effectual
attention at the hands of public
officers and others specially
charged with the duty Of foster
ing this highly important branch
OF the public service. In this
regard it is not to be expected
that the members of the Police
Jury should abandon or neglect
their private or personal affairs
and devote their entire time as
individuals to the actual work of
building and repairing the
public roads. This would be
altogether unreasonable in the
first place, and, secondly, would
be unwise, and disappointing in
results as well. because in most
cases these men not being prac-
tical road makers themselves are
not prepared to undertake and
carry on this kind of work
properly. But what the tax payer
and the public do have the right
to expect, and to exact, is that
the men they honor with public
ONCE and make the trustees Of
their confidence and their
material prosperity. should at
least exert themselves to put in
to effect the best ways and the
most reasonable means OF achiey-
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1905-10-25

that the heaviest tax the people
of the country are called on to
pay is the loss they are cOntin-
ually sustaining on account of
bad roads.
This tax is represented in the
case of the farmer by his inabil-
ity to bring his produce to mark
ct safely and expeditiously, when
ever it may suit his purpose or
convenience, and in the wear
and tear of his buggies, wagons
and horses or mules. In the
case of the merchant, this tax is
felt in the great loss of trade
which he naturally sustains dur
ing the weeks and months that
the roads remain unsafe and i'm.
passible to travel in the territory
contiguous to his store. And
for the doctor. for whom we
should all feel the greatest
sympathy and consideration,
this tax of bad roads by
day and by night, year in and
year out, comes in the form of
rapid wearing away of vehicles
and horses, serious loss of time
in arriving at the bedside of pa
TENTS, and, of more consequence
than all, in the unnatural and
premature wearing away of body
and mind.
The Advertiser wishes. to add
two more counts in the charges
to be made against bad roads,
both of which have a direct and
important bearing on the ques-
ton. We refer to the serious
effect of bad roads upon the
school attendance of the children
of the parish, and upon church
attendance of the people in gen
eral; and, last but not least, in
reference with the social ameni-
ties of members of the same
community with special refer
ence to the mothers and daugh-
ters burdened with the drudgery
of house work-those willing,
self-sacriicing women endowed
with strong natural social in
stincts, whose lives it should be
the highest duty and pleasure of
every husband and father and
brother to render as comfortable
and happy as possible.
Let Us Danish bad roads for
ever.

OUR HEAVIEST TAX.

A group of Lafayette business
men were engaged in an inter
esting discussion of the road
question one day last week, in
its varied relations to the bust
ness and the farming interests
of the country. and the more
they discussed the subject the
more they became impressed
with its Importance and magni-
tude.
Some of the conclusions to
which these business men ar
rived after a careful dissecting
of the road problem were, that
good roads are very essential to
the prosperity and well-being of
the farmer, the merchant, the
doctor and all other classes of
people; that the present reve-
nues of the parish for road-build-
ing purposes, together with the
sum of money ordinarily appro-
priated by the Police Jury for
roads and bridges out of the gen.
eral funds, are ample and sufi-
cient to regularly maintain . CON-
plete system Of good roads
throughout the parish, it these
funds we're employed in = prac-
teal and economical way; and,

system Of working the reads fol,
lowed at present, though pre-
senting some points Of advantage
over the older methods, is yet
far from being satisfactory.
owing to the insurmountable and
fatal weakness that is involved in
any and all systems of work or
business where the power of con-
troll and the sense of responsible
ity is distributed among a large
number of individuals.
There has been in this parish
a strong and persistent demand
for an adoption by the Police
Jury. of the contract system of
working the public roads.
Persons who are acquainted with
the successful operation of this
plan in other parts of the country
recognize that the contract sys-
tenn is based upon sound bust
ness principles, and under proper
safeguards can not fail to give
other than good results.
We understand it to be the
purpose and the policy of The
Citizens Road building Associa-
ton to introduce and encourage
the contract system of public
road work in Lafayette parish,
with the support and co-opera-
ton of the Police Jury. This is
an important move in the history
of Lafayette parish and town, in
deed one of the most important
movemements ever set on foot by
the people, and one that will not
fail to make a powerful and last
ing impression for the general
good.
The popularity of the project
and the confidence of the people
in the merit and success of the
undertaking is well attested by
their great willingness and
liberality in responding to the
call for subscriptions for stock to
provide the Association with the
necessary funds to carry on op-
erations. This is as it should be
in a move that is going to benefit
everybody, and it would not be
just or fair for some to accept
and enjoy benefits that others
are paying for, without they also
contribute their part of the cost
of securing these benefits.
1t is purely and simply a bust
ness proposition that is bound to
pay handsome returns on the
money invested, not in interest
but in larger accumula-
ton OF profits on a great volume
OF trade that is lost every year to
the merchants and business men
of Lafayette on account of bad
roads, and which added volume
of trade is bound to stimulate all
other branches of industry and
activity necessarily associated
with the mercantile and business
interests of every community.
