Houston, Tex, Aug. 25.-Rather than

Miss Pearl Baxter, the beautiful 20
year-old daughter Of w. s. Baxter, a
wealthy planter near Archer, planned a
double suicide with her fance. They
We're to have died in each others arms,
but at the last moenmt he backed down,
leaving her to die alone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baxter were to have
left today with the daughter for St.
Louis, where she was to be placed in a
seminary in order to break up the love
affair.
She eluded their vigilance for a few
minutes last night and met the man in
cane patch near her home. There
they arranged that they should die
together.
Miss Baxter, at 4 am, left her room,
going to the clandestine meeting. The
sweetheart was there and had procured
two bottles Of carbolic acid. It was
agreed they should drink at the same
time and die in each others arms.
Both raised the bottles to their
mouths, but he tarried and watched her
swallow the poison. The agonies of
death spreading over her face unnerved
him and, throwing away his bottle, he
hastily retreated.

New York, Aug. 25.-On the steam
ship America, which arrived from
Hamburg today, were thirty-seven Jew
ish orphans whose parents had been
slain in riots in Russian cities and who
were brought to this country by the
Hebrew Aid society.
The orphans included thirteen boys
and twentyfour girls, each of whom
can tell story Of horrors they wit
messed when their parents and rela-
tives were brutally murdered. One of
the most pathetic cases is that of
Louis Seulisski, 8 years old, whose
father and mother were killed at Kieff.
He saw soldier run his saber thru his
mothers body and saw his father
dragged to death behind a cart. The
boy is unable to realize that he is in the
hands of friends, and each night on
the steamer he would awaken in the
most frightful nightmare, in which he
He cannot go to sleep without dream

Wee Tot Heroine.
Rebecca Smolesky is heroine. The
soldiers took her father and mother
from their home in Kishineff to the
public square, where they tied them
back to back and beat them to death
with knouts. Rebecca, who is IL years
old, took her brother, Joseph, 6 years
old, by the hand, and they fought their
way thru the mob in a frantic insane
effort to save their parents. They
reached the open square and rushed be-
tween the murderous Cossacks and their
parents, taking the last blows them
selves. But they were too late. Their
father and mother, their bodies gashed
and bleeding, had fallen, and in a few
moments both were dead.
Rebecca and her brother, both
wounded by the final welts of the last
knoutings, were chained together and
east into a black hole of damp pris-
on, where they were left to starve for
three days. When their keepers finally
came to arrange them before a mill
tary tribunal, the heinous charge Of be-
ing Jews, they found Joseph dead.
Chained to Dead Boy.
For many hours his cold, still body
had been chained to that of his brave
but grief stricken sister. His body was
tossed into the river which runs by the
prison walls, and Rebecca, hungry,

admit that Oklahoma proved a great
disappointment. The unknown"
quantity of the Indian Territory was
a concession to the Democrats, but
nine Oklahoma districts, counted ON
by the Republican leaders, were car
ried by the opposition. The Usage
Nation elected two Democrats. The
Indians as a general rule voted the

the seven Congressman they lost in
