A FRlGHTFUL TRAGEDY.
A Michigan Farmer Kills His Wife,
Son and Daughter and Then
Suicides.

Rochester, Mich, Jan. 3.-Alarmed
by the deserted appearance of the
farm house of Clarence A. Barnum,
who recently located near here, neigh
bors broke into the house yesterday
and found Barnum, his wife, his
daughter Louise, aged %, and his son
Clinton, aged 1G, all lying dead. The
wife and the son and daughter had
been murdered with an ak. A single
barrelled shotgun lying near his
corpse and the fact that his head was
almost entirely blown off showed how
Farmer Barnum had met his end. Mrs.
Barnum's body lay in the woodshed.
1t appeared that she had been able
to resist the murderer for brief time,
or at any rate had succeeded in elud-
ing him long enough to reach the
shed. But here she was struck down
and met the same fate that had be-
fallen her son and daughter
The appearance of the house indi-
Gated that the family had just finished
breakfast when the murderous frenzy
of the father broke out. Evidently
there had been a terrific struggle as
the mother and children battled for
their lives. The dining room was all
bespattered with blood, even the cell
ing. Under the dining room table lay
the fathers body, gun across his
knee. Apparently he had taken the
muzzle into his mouth before pulling
the trigger

WadSwOrth Wins in the

nominated last night by the republican
assembly caucus for speaker of the
assembly and will be elected to that
office to-day, when the assembly con-

Mr.. WadsWorth had rs out of 104
votes cast in the caucus, Edwin A.
Merritt, jr., of st. Lawrence, receiving
ID and ]. NJ. Wainwright, of Westches-
ter, 15. The entire strength of the re-
publican side in the new assembly, 107
in all, was present, but none of the
three candidates voted.
The vote was taken by open roll call
and there was no attempt to secure a
secret ballot, as had been expected.
This result brings to close one Of
the most remarkable speakership
campaigns of recent years, character
lied by marked factional bitterness
and some unusual features. Mr.. Wads-
WoIln WAS noI among lne CdnuiudleS
originally in the field, but was propos-
ed by Gov. Higgins in a formal state
ment, and In addition to the support of
the governor and his friends, was re-
garded as having the approval of Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Mr.. Merritt had the backing of State
Chairman B. B. Odell, ir., and his
friends in the state organization, who
fought with determination for his cleo
tion, or, failing that, for the defeat of
Mr.. Wadsworth.
Mr.. Wainwright stood openly in op-
position to what he charged was i'm
proper influence of the executive in a
purely legislative matter.

Those are the words of Justice
Olmsted, who knows. He goes fur
Their and says: cigarettes make
liars and thieves Of boys"
IL have given considerable
thought to the question of cigar
cite smoking by boys" said Justice
Olmsted. 81 have had hundreds OF
boys before me in court, boys
charged with crime, whose yellow
stained fingers told me, before I
had even listened to their poor ex-
cuses, that they had been overcome
by temptation.
cigarettes, filled with slow
poison that the tender and delicate
lungs of a boy cannot endure, first
lead to physical weakness. When
the body is in poor condition the
mind is apt to suffer, and weak or
deranged minds lead to crime.
81 believe that 80 of every 100
boys who are brought into court
for crimes they have committed
are cigarette smokers. Very often
the boys first crime is to steal, so
that he may buy cigarettes. Many
men who have learned to smoke as
boys become drunkards. The first
narcotic is nicotine and the next
when nicotine is not strong enough
habits, which kill or drive insane
also follow nicotine and alcohol.
Some boys do smoke and do not
bebcome criminals. They are for
tunate to escape, and they prob
ably will never know on what dan

OTTAWA, Can, Sept. 27,-More
than 800 years ago French ex-
plorers in the Canadian wilds pass
ed through Lake Temiskaming mid
way between Buffalo and Hudson
bay, with five miles of the present
site of the Cobalt mining camp,
where lie the richest deposits of
native silver the world has ever
known.
Weather blackened silver, purer
than coin, stuck up in plain sight
through the thin soil of the rock
hiilsides, and trappers, Indians and
still later, sportsmen and tourists,
wwho followed these waterways
passed it by.
The find escaped the lumbermen
who cut out the pine, and was not
made until the government was
building the Temiskaming & Nor
thern railroad to colonize a farm
ing district farther north.
One morning Fred La Rose,
blacksmith for the construction
gang, stumbled onto it. AS he sat
by his wayside forge a bit of color
on the hillside caught his eye. 1t
was pink.
When cobalt. a metal much like
nickel, is long exposed. it oxidizes
to bright pink powdery "bloom.
Idly La Rose walked over to see
what the pink was.
With a shovel La Rose soon un
covered beneath the pink a vein on
pure silver that filled a deep crack
in the rock.
La Rose showed a chunk of the
metal to the construction boss, and
the two staked out adjoining
claims.
About the same time a lumber
man named Mckinley. cutting out
tie for the railroad, found cobalt
bloom and then silver in another
hill half mile away.
Mckinley sold out later for $500,
600 or 100000 and moved away tc
live in affluence. The mine he
found is wowrth millions. La Rose
was persuaded to sell half his claim

for $500 There was a long suit in
the Canadian court, and at last he
got s2S 600 for his remaining inter-
est.
The first car of ore from the La
, Rose mine returned $4,000. Since
then many hundred thousand dol
lars worth of silver have been
taken out.
McMartin, the railroad boss to
whom La Rose first showed his
find, has big interest in the mine.
Tommy" Hubert, French
Canadian laborer, found the Nipis-
sing mine. He cannot read or
write.
Last year the Nipissing shipped
81 ,129, 529 wowrth of ore. But HUI
bert, before he know the value of
his find, had been persuaded to
sell out for s1100.
Clement Foster, now 25 years
old, had been graduated only a
short time from technical school
in Michigan when he heard of the
first finds. He prospected longer
than year Then he made his
strike. His father had been a den
fist at Rockford, Michigan. They
are now worth millions.
w. G. Trethewwey worked in the
patent Office at Montreal. He
stopped in Cobalt one day and
staked his claims between trains.
John Redington, manager of the
Trethewey mine, said last week
that $500, 900 worth of silver had al
| ready been taken out. at a cost of
| $4,000, and that the development
of the mine has only now begun.
Willet G. Miller. provincial geolo-
gist, vouched for the great wealth
| of the Cobalt silver deposits.
The veins at Cobalt are never
more than 90 inches wide, and they
may not be very deep But they
are almost SOLID silver.
The first find was made in the
| spring of 1908.

has been shoveled and blasted out
