CHICAGO HORROR.
BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN as
SiULTED AND KILLED
By Brute In the Form Of a Han
in the Early Evening.

One Of the most heartless crimes
thai has shocked this country in
many years occurred in Chicago about
TWO weeks ago. Mrs. Bessie Holiister
80 years old, the wife OF franklin
G. Bollister, one Of the printing firm
OF Holiister Brothers. one Of the lar
gest corcarns Of its kinds in the city
was murdered by Richard Ivens, q
years old, who had attempted to as
sault her. The body Of Mrs. Hollister
vas found lying on pile Of sta ole re-
fuse. in the rear Of the Ivens resi-
dence, at 1858 Balden avenue Around
the neck was twisted q fine copper
wire. Death had been caused by
strangulation. Ivens who had pre-
tended to find the body and adrepor-
ted the fact OF the murder to the po.
lice confessed to the crime short
time after be had been taken into
custody.
His statement to the police, in effect
vas that he was at work in his car.

distance from the place where the
body was found Tuesday morning
and that when Mrs. Hollister passed

penter shop and killed her by twisting
the wire aro- Id her neck. BE then
went homo and remained there all
night. Tuesday morning he went to
the barn obtensibly to perform
some work. and pretending to fad the
body rushed into the house and repor-
T TED to bis father, and later to the pc
lice that the bCdJ Of woman was
lying OF the heap ofrefuse near the
barn.
Ivens in his confession claimed that

but this is denied bV his own mother

irauest which was held late In the
day, a verdict was returned holding
IVens to tae Criminal Court without
bail. During the inquest Ivens re-
NAMED sea5el and apparently showed
no interest In the proceedings.
When he was called, upon by the
coroner to testify uhis unconcerned
manner and defiant tone caused great
indignation among the men in the
room, and after the Inquest was over
". G. Holl1ster, brother-in law OF law
OF the murdered woman, made an ef-
fort to shoot him. Hollister vas max
ing his way toward Ivens, revolver in
hand, when an officer caught sight OF
the weapon AID grabbed Hollister.
Other p,liceman came to the officers
aid and Hollister was compelled to
leave the place.
judging from the appearance OF her
clothing Mrs. Hollister had made a
desperate fight before she was killed.
Her long hair was tangled as il it had
teen pulled violently do1r; the front
OF her silk waist had been torn open
and the glove Of her right hand was
missing. Three rings, which sne US
ually wore en- this hand we're gone.
Other small articles Ct jeWelry, which
she had worn at the time OF leaving
the house had been taken. Mrs Hol-
lister was a woman Of great personal
charm. For years she had been noted

dinary beauty.

scene Of the debates OF Webster, and
Clay, Adams, Calhoun and others
whose names are indelibly asscciated
with the history OF congress
In 1864 at the suggestion OF Sera
tor Morrel OF Vermont, the room was
set apart as a national statuary hall
to which each state might send
tae III sies OF two OF her chosen sens

form"
Mr.. Bryan commended thai the re-
publican party while in power had not
settled a single important question.
He declared that the prosperity of
the country had come in spite of the
republican party and not because of
anything it had done. On the trust
question he said:
To the extent hat the president
has gone 1 am glad, but he has not
gone far enough, and he has not been
able to take his party with him as
far as he has gone"
The banquet held at night in the
Auditorium hotel, under III auspices
of h Jefferson clubs, was a preten-
tious affair attended by fully 500
prominent democrats from Illinois
and other portions of the middle
west. Mr.. Bryan was given a most
enthusiastic greeting when he arose to
speak.
Other speakers besides Mr.. Bryan
were John Temple Graves of Georgia,
Mayor Dunno of Chicago, and Cato
Sells of Iowa.
Not a sign of disapproval was
given by the assembled democrats
during Bryan's speech and his an
nouncement that he repudiated the
endorsement of the Illinois state con-
vention which lac endorsed Mr..
sullivan was greeted with consider
able applause.

TERRITORIAL FORM
CUBA'S SALVATION
ReVolutiOnists in Troubled Isle Rcvo-
lutte for Revenue Only.

Washington. Sept. "a territorial
form of government" said a member
of the presidents official family. ais
the only solution for existing trouble
in Cuba. We made a mistake at the
conclusion of the Spanish dispose
sion in not holding onto this island. 1t
was the only piece of real estate that
we acquired as a result of our last
war that was worth having. Officers
of our army and natives of Cuba ap-
preciated the advantages which would
accrue if the United States had decid-
ed to retain the island and they We're
not backward in expressing their be
lief. But for the mistaken policy
which the Teller amendment made IN
cumbent upon US, our forces would
have never left the Gem of the An
TILES.
Anybody who has had experienc.
with them knows that the Cubans are
no different from the inhabitants II
other Latin-American countries on
this continent. they are chronic revo-
l~utionists for revenue only and their
idea of liberty and independence on
sists mainly in getting offices and
drawing salaries without rendering
any equivalent in work. Archives of
the war department are filled with re-
ports teeming with this sort of infor-
nation and the president has been
kept fully advised of every movement
in Cuba since it was turned over to its
own people. State department advio.s
of the same tenor are easy of access
and consequently the uprising which
is prevailing in Cuba now has not been
unexpected by the authorities At
Washington. 1t is only a question of
time, and the indications are that i
will be a short time, before we Will
be compelled to send our soldiers into
Cuba never to be Wn. Requests
to this effect have been made already
to the United States government by
representative Cubans located in IIa-
vana and other important places.
President Palma has at his disposal
about 5000 men and he may be able
to increase this m to 10, 900 by
promises of reward and bounties.
There is a surplus in the Cuban treas
ury of about $40. 900. geo. but this Will
not stand a p~rOtracted drain. An esti-
mate has been prepared showing that
the insurrection, which is general in
it's character, will cost the Cuban
government upward of half a million
dollars a day and at this rate it's treas
ury chest would be depleted in a little
over a month.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET
QUIET DURING WEEK
Condition Owing to Slow Arrival of
Late of Wool In the
West and Consequent Lack of Sc
lection - Demand, However, Is
Steady.

New York, Sept. 4.-Discussing wool
market conditions Bradstreet's Re-
view has the following:
Owing to the slow arrival of many
west and the consequent lack of sec
ton, the Boston wool market has
been rather more quiet during the
past week. The demand, however, is
steady, the bulk of the Inquiries COM
ing from the maker of fancy wooIens
and worsteds and dress goods. whose
products are selling we'll, with prom
Use of a good duplicate business. The
makers of cheap mems wear woOlenS
are not so active. There are reports
of some cancellations of fall goods,
but one house hat while
nearly all the mills are running full
and are not buying much wool, they
are nearly at the end of their stocks.
and that 100. 900, 900 pounds of for
eign wool will have to be imported
before the next domestic clip is mar
keted. The market is slowly settling
to a stable basis, and IS cents
will be about the secured basis for
this season The demand is running
to t~hree-eighths and half-blood ter
secured woods, the sales of the week
including fine and fine medium Utah
and Wyoming at % q 24k cents, and
Nevada at a % cents. Idaho woods
cents in the original bags, and Monta-
as have sold moderately in the origi-
nal bags at &c q 26k cents for fine
medium and 27@2S cents for medi-
UNI. The secured cost on all these
woods is about 5000 cents. There
has been rather more activity in Tex.
as woods, owing to the continued de-
mand from manufacturers of broad
cloths and face goods, eight months
selling at 24@24h cents, or IS cents
secured, with very little twelve
cents. There has been a fair bust
ness in California choice northern
at 26 q 2615 cents, or 67@6S cents
secured with Humboldt and Mendo-
elmo quiet at 2S@29 cents. There
have been some sales of f~1eeces, though
delaines are quiet, the demand run
ming to Xxx, three-eighths and half
bIoods, with quarter bIoods dull and
prices rather easier in Boston, though
in the west prices are reported to be
maintained. coure woods have sold
fairly we'll at about 68@69 cents for
fine and very choice white lots have
brought 72@79 cents. California
fall secured woods have also sold
37@3S cents for defective. The west
is now practically cleaned up, though
there are some scattering lots in Ida
the interest in tn lots. Foreign woods
are exceedingly quiet in the Boston
market, it being reported that SOS
to SOS Australian, corresponding to
the domestic three-eighths and half
bloods. are entirely cleane up, and
that the stocks of foreign wool in
bond in Boston showed a very great
decrease, thus putting the market
about on a normal basis
