OHIO MURDER.

) Toledo, O., July 25.-What was in all
probabilities a murder was brought to
light when the body OF woman about
30 years of age was found strapped to
the wall Of an outhouse back of a
country schoolhouse. near Carey, O.. :
F.. The body was in an advanced stage
Of putrefaction, SO much so that all ef-
forts to establish its identity have
proved futile. Examination at the
undertaker's revealed the fact that the
woman wore, underneath a. fine, dress,
a pair of mems trousers, but this fact
only serves. to deepen the mystery. :, g.
/ That the deed was murderEis beyond
doubt owing to the finding Of a bar Of
iron hammered into chisel near the
clubhouse, which was covered with
There was also. evidence
of a struggle near where the body was
found Coroner Stuff of Upper San

Method of Procedure to Dissolve

Stockholm, July 25.-The cabinet has

bill cannot be adopted in the form pre-
sented to the riksdag and proposes that

thing requests a repeal of the act of

plebiscite declare in favor of dissolu-
ton.
The committee emphaticaly dsap-
proves of any action by Sweden either

union or the recognition Of Norway's
independence until the Norwegians have
lad an opportunity through elections or
plebiscite of expressing their wishes
The report points out all threat ening
action should be avoided.

JOHN FULTON is STILL
LOOKING FOR A JOB

Pittsburg, Pa, July 25.-Twenty-
eight years ago John Fulton of this
city left his wife Mary and their child
rem and went out into the world. Full
ton had been out of employment for
some time and when he left home he
told his wife that he was going to look
Tor a job. If he could not find one in
Plttsburg he was going to travel until
he did find one. Eve long years pass
ed and not word came from Fulton.
Then, when his wife was beginning to
think that he was dead, letter was re-
|ceiyed from the missing one from Chi
|cago, i'll which he stated that he had
been unsuccessful in his search for en-
'ployment and was still looking for a
job.
That was twenty-three years ago and
not line has been heard from Fulton
from that day to this. Mrs. Fulton
decided many years ago that her hus-
bands search for employment was
either still unsuccessful or more likely
that he was dead. In recent years she
has been more firmly confirmed in the
latter belief. Some time ago she de-
cided to apply to the courts to have
her husband legally declared dead, as
there is some property that they own
in this city that she wished to dispose

NEW COINS.

= Washington, July 24.-The secretary
of the treasury has received through
the navy department letter from the
governor of Guam recommending that
Philippine coins be substituted for the
Mexican coins now current on the
island. The governor states that since
the Mexican coins were demonetized BY
the Philippine government they have no
standing outside Of Guam. and have be-
come exceedingly scarce, and it is only
with the greatest difficulty that stuff
cient supply can be obtained to meet
local requirements, The. natives, he
says, would accept the Philippine coins
without question. and all things con-
sidered .he.. governor thinks that Philip
pine coins used in connection with
United States currency would be very
desirable from every point of view.
The treasury officials are inclined to
favor the governor recommendation,
and it is not unlikely that it will be
formally adopted. @ q @sS
