MINISTER. MuNoz HAPPY.
Says Gustemalan Government Sup.
 pressed aBrillas Insurrection.

Washington. July 1.-The Guate- malan minister, MT Munoz, is grati- fled by the favorable reports he has received from his country.
 The government suppressed the instruction led by General Barillas with great ease" said Mir Munoz. That was to be expected. Barillas' army is scarcely more than a band of illiterate Indians of poor fighting ability. He is not a suitable man for president and is opposed to any ie- velopment of the country. When he secured the presidency for a brief period years ago through the death of General Rafina Barrios. She was tool of the clerical party. his administration was marked by atrtrocities and he involved Guate- mala in entanglements with the Uni ted States to which he is opposed.
 President Cabrera, on the other hand Is in love with everything Amer lean. He has sent two of his sons to American colleges to learn ideas and methods which he is trying to intro duce fin the country. He has surrend- cd himself with Americans. seeking their cooperation. valu a b e concessions have been granted to fruit companies from America. A railroad has just been completed from Guatemala City to the coast by Americans. There are numerous sol diers of fortune from America in the Guatemalan army. including Colonel L. Clairmont, who is on the stan of President Cabera and one of his chief advisers. The chief of police of Guatemala City is also an American. Of course. when trouble arose the president was Loyalty supported by his many American friends,
 It has taken an iron hand to d. rect Guatemala in the paths of prog ress, no doubt. President Cabrera found the country run down from needless excesses and his progressive ideas made him enemies. But he has doen pioneer work along all lines. He is a man of high Ideals and a patron of education. to promote which he has given nearly s100.000 of his own money for an industrial school in Guatemala City. Under hls presidency Guatemala has marched in the van of all the Central Ameri- can states"

Just a Plain Mining Man.

Seattle. Wash, July 11.-Investiga- tons made by the German society of this city show. the society claims that August Rosenberg. a former res ident of Seattle. now under arrest In Germany on suspicion of being an anarchist with designs on the life of Emperor William. was a plain. every day. mining man. It has also been shown that the chemicals found in his former residence which were SUD- posed to have been used fin the man. ufacture of bombs. were such as those used by assayers. The charge that he presided at an anarchist meeting when Herr Most delivered an address has also been disproved. The annoymous letter on which he was arrested fin Germany Is supposed to have been written by an enemy with whom he had trouble.

MILLINER MURDERED
Womans Head Crushed After Which She was Tied to a Couch Satu-
 rated With Wood Alcohol
IT WAS THEN SET ON FIRE

Chicago, July 11.-A despatch to the Tribune from Minneapolis, Minn, says: The identity of the woman who was killed by mysterious assailant while she slept in her room at the Ma tional hotel here, yesterday, was es- tablished last night by the Ellsworth (Wis) police. A telephone message said the murdered woman was Miss Nellie Elliston, milliper of Ellsworth Wis, and daughter of farmer living about ten miles from Ellsworth. She left Ellsworth alone for Minneapolis. Nothing is known by her relatives as to her relations with any man.
 The wOman's head was crushed with hammer blow, the body tied to couch which was saturated with wood alcohol, and then set af1re.
 The discovery of smoke and flames issuing from the room revealed the murder. While employees were beat Ing out the fire the woman recovered long enough to utter the words Ellis ton, Ellsworth Then she died, the upper part of the body was terribly burned. Later physicians said the wounds on the head were sufficient to cause death.
 A man who registered at the hotel as "M. P. Wilson, Milwaukee" and occupied room directly over that of the woman, Is believed by the police to be the murderer. He was seen running from the woman's room a few minutes before the fire was dis covered. He instantly left the hotel, carrying two grips.
 The police have been unable to trace him.
 The murdered woman arrived at the hotel Monday morning and regis tered as "AIrs Johnson, Detroit" She was assigned to room on the second floor. A few hours later Wilson" ar rived, and was given a room on the third floor, directly above the wo- mans.
 So far as Is known the couple did not meet until the crime was commit ted.
 The police believe the murder was planned deliberately before either man or woman came to Minneapolis. But for the prompt action of the employees in breaking into the room in which the woman met her death the hotel would have been destroyed by re. It Is the theory of the police that this was the intention of the murderer in order to conceal his crime.

Havican is a mason and with others was working on the smokestack. He was on the ground, while one of his fellowworkmen was high up on the structure. It seems that the fellow up on the stack bump ed against a piece of Iron. for at any rate. without warning 1t came crash ing down. striking Havcan on the arm. Havican was knocked out by the blow and was picked up unconscious. Upon examination no bones were found broken but the mans arm was badly cut. many stitches being re- quired to sew up the wound.

Great Country for Cranks.

New York. July 11.-Possibly no case in the history of American juris- prudence has brought to the front a greater number and variety of cranks as the killing of Stanford White by Harry Thaw. Every person direct ly or indirectly interested has been inundated by letters from persons protesting to have knowledge or ad- vice that they are willing to sell for a consideration.
 ''I am putting aside material that would fin a book after this case is over." said Terence J. McManus. one of Thaw's counsel. yesterday. "I am convinced that almost every show girl and every giddy young creature with less tangible means of support is now boasting of the attentions that MT White paid to her in his lifetime. and every man to whom they tell their story expects to realize some cash by offering to sell 1t to us. The most absurd yarns are being re- eeived. and we investigate the most promising.
 We have heard from all the pro- fessional cranks in the country. but there Is an absolutely new crop. Per sons are writing to us from Kanka- kee or Kalamazoo that while in New York they overheard comments of White on Mrs Thaw which must cer- tainly have reached her husbands ears. and that when we send them enough money to get back to the metropolis they will supply the facts and remain here until the trial.
 "Other persons say they will come here from New England or the west and stay 90 as to serve as jurors in the case. with the positive assurance that they believe Thaw to have been jusufed. and 60 that they will vote to acqait."

Hartford. July 1.-The Consoli- dated Railroad company has made It's first move to establish system for its interurban traffic and to make trolley connection between Water bury and this city.

by Nelson's manager, Billy Nolan, to
be real money and actually in sight,
and Billy has established a reputation
for knowing coin when he sees 1t and
for insisting upon seeing it.
Billy Nolan was in Hazen, New,
when he sent along the following good
news:
Il am now on my way from Reno to
Goldield. Nelson is still in Ogden,
where he closes his last theatrical en-
gagement before his battle with Cans,
which will be on Sept. 8 in Goldfeld.
1--WE have signed the articles, and l
will begin at once to make the Battler
ready for the bout, and Cans will be-
gin work as we'll"
This match has been looked for by
the sports for months. 1t ought to be a
slashing bout from beginning to end,
and 1t will furnish a pure out and out
lightweight champion of the world.
Cans now has the better claim. Mel
son has been touted all along as the
man who ought to have it.
AS Cans has been taking fights all
along and winning them rather con-
sistently, his defeat by Nelson would
leave the Battlpr in the same relation
to the lightweight championship that
Jim Jeffries now bears to the heavy
weight championship.
The general opinion Is that Nelson
will win, as on form at 1873 pounds he
has Cans safe by a mile" The YER
dict of sportsmen is as follows:
IF the fight is fought honestly on its
merits Nelson will win in less than
twenty rounds"
Nelson has done plenty of talking
about a match with Cans. He Is conf
dent that he car beat the black in a
long fight, although he feels that Cans
may give him a good walloplng for the
first seven or eight rounds. The prin-
clpal reason for Nelson's belief that he
can defeat Cans in a long fight is that
the Baltimorean is not at his best
when fighting at 1873 pounds.
Joe Cans is a hard man to beat
when he works at his best speed and

The news that Goldfeld has been Sc

at a favorable weight, say 1876 pounds.
Those who know him intimately and
have watched his style of fighting for
a long time know that he has a knock

damage even to the great Nelson. Cans
is such a good fighter that Tom

A Coed Trade.

The Winfield merchants have
had the best trade during the
past three weeks that the town
has ever had. Christmas shop
pers have come not only from
the surrounding community but
from up and down the five rail-
roads that lead in here from diff
ferent directions.
Anticipating the splendid trade
that rightfully belongs to them
by reason of central location,
the Winfield merchants made
arrangements for anything that
might come their way and The
Sentinel is pleased to record
the fact that they met every
demand made upon them by the
thousands of shoppers who have
visited our town during these
days.
While it Is impossible for The
Sentinel to describe in detail the
magnificent stocks of. holiday
goods carried by the different
merchants, we desire to make
the statement that no town in
Louisiana of the same population
made a better showing in this
respect and came nearer pleasing
every visitor than did Winn-
field. A Sentinel represen-
tative made it a point to inter-
view the "comers and goers"
whenever he could and he still
has to find some one who was
not entirely satisfied with the
stocks carried by our merchants
and also the prices.
This is condition absolutely
gratifying to The Sentinel, for
it has done all it possibly could
to bring trade to WINFIELD bus
mess houses, and while some of
them did not use its columns to
extend the general inducements
Others did, and it is satisfied with
the results.
