PITIFUL STORY
OF Woman Driven to Insanity by
Crimes of Members of
Her Family.

A dispatch in the Cincinnati EnQuir-
er is as follows:
Lexington, Ky, January 21.-Mrs.
Catherine Deal of Greenup county,
has been brought here and placed in
the Eastern Kentucky Lunatic Asy-
lum in a hopelessly insane condition.
Mrs. Deal is 60 years old, and lost
her mind from worrying over the
criminal tendencies of her immed-
late family, which led Samuel Deal,
her husband, Charles, William, John
and Jerry Deal, her sons, to commit
crimes which have landed them in
penitentiaries in three States, Ohio,
West Virginia and Indiana.
All are now in prisons serving SEN
fences of from one to 90 years. Mrs.
Deal herself has been in prison
charged with stealing, but was re-
leased some time ago.
Up to a few years ago the Deal
family was one of the best known in
Eastern Kentucky. Finally one of
the boys was arrested charged with
stealing. He served a term in Jail,
and upon his release committed more
thefts. From that time on the en-
tire family was connected with differ
/ ent crimes.
They operated along Licking, Big
Sandy. Red and the Ohio rivers. Then
methods of operation We're unique
| They would steal goods from people
living along Red river, ship them tc
some point on the Big Sandy river
for storage, and later would peddlt
the goods along the Ohio river. This
continued for several years.
A year ago officers from West Vir'
ginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Indian;
combined in an effort to capture
the men, and finally succeeded. Mrs
Deal was also taken in the roundup
but was later released. Sanuel Dea
and the four sons were imprisoned
and then Mrs. Deals mind began t.
fail, with the result that she is nov
in an asylum here.

a million and a quarter bushels of
grain In a dim way | recognize that
the grain must be put on the market
through the agency of a company
composed of the producers before we
can hope to realize fair values for
it; also that it must be put on the
market in quantities suitable to the
immediate demand, or else it will pass
into the hands of SPECTATORS at low
prices and afterwards go to the con-
sumers at high prices. The principle
of controlled marketing which the So
ciety of Equity is striving to bring
into play, appears to be a good one,
and would be glad to see the Society
spread and prosper.

tact with our shareholders at public
meetings, to direct their attention to
the Society of Equity, and advise
them to study it's aims and objects,
and, if satisfied, to become members

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 19.-There was
big crowd in the court room of the
Court of Appeals yesterday when
Judge j. p. Hobson read the opin-
ion of the court denying the writ of
prohibition asked against JudgeCarnes
holding the Hargis trial at jackson.
Judge Hobson gave it as the courts
opinion that it was not necessary
that the special Judge be resident
of the district, and that Judge Carnes
was qualified and competent to sit In
the case; that as special Judge he
had all the powers of the regular
Judge; it was not necessary that the
regular Judge of the district should
call the special terms, as he had de-
clined to sit in the case at all; the
special Judge, by section OIL, is CIV

HORRIBLE CRIME.
Mother Kills Her Newborn Babe
\ ana Hangs it in a Sack
on a Fence.

The Hopkinsville Kentuckian says:
A most horrible crime was brought
to light Thursday afternoon by the
discovery by children of dead body
an a coffee sack on fence in the
rear of the home of Mr.. G. S. Jar
rett, on South Walnut street, some
distance from the house, and sepa-
rating Sharpsfield
The details are almost too revolt
ing to chronicle. A sack containing
something was noticed on the back
fence Wednesday by some colored
people, but no attention was paid to
it. Thursday aftednoon the curiosi-
ty of a negro woman was excited to
such a pitch that she sent some chill
dren to see what the sack contained.
When they took it from the fence
and opened it they found, wrapped
in rags, a dead newborn child, The
Ypolice were at once notified and Of
3iicer Merritt was sent out to investi-
gate. Coroner Allensworth was also
called and buried the child.
Yesterday morning the coroner dis
Inferred the child and summoned
DIR. Jackson to hold a post norton
examination. lie responded to the
call and took Dr. Woodland with him.
Their evidence before the coroners
jury was, after examining the lungs
and brain, that the infant had been
murdered, either by being struck in
the face with some heavy substance
or that the inhuman mother had
taken it by the heels and struck it
against something. Dr.. Jackson says
nbat the child was about pounds in
weight and had undoubtedly lived af-
ter birth. 1t was a girl but the ply
sicians cannot state as to wheth-
er it was white or black.
There is at present no indication
as to who the murderer is, but coro-
ner Allensworth is going to use
every effort to bring the inhuman
wretch to justice, and we learn that
he has some hope of doing so.

To the People of Ohio County.

| desire to express many thanks
for the uniform courtesy and kind
ness extended to myself and depu-
ties during the past year by the
public.
The severity of the recent tax
law, together with the short time af-
ter it's passage until ] was forced to
collect the tax, mace the task eX-
ceptionally difficult and the credit
of it's achievement, if any, is largely
due to the faithful and untiring eff
forts of my field deputies, and while
this office is compelled to collect
the present years taxes under the
same law, | hope that a more gener-
al understanding of the law, and its
requirements and penalties, will be-
get prompt response, to the official
call for taxes.

True to His Religion.

Elgin, ILL.,, January 17.-Loren Ba-
ker, who in addition to being an agent
for the American Express Company is
a devout Christian, with the courage
of his convictions, to-day resigned his
position with the company rather than
deliver a package containing tobacco.
Baker holds, among other beliefs,
that tobacco and whisky are evils not
to be compromised with, and his be-
Lief would not permit him to place in
the hands of another man the means
of becoming a slave to the weed.
Consequently he handed in his re-

Another Card of Thanks.

Certainly no pastor ever had more
to thank the members and friends
of his churches for than l. A nice
dinner for Thanksgiving and box
of nice things for Christmas were
given us by the good people of Hart
ford, and now the good people of
my church at Beaver Dam have
made us large donation of nice
canned fruit, preserves, jelly, jam,
sausages, dry goods, candy for the
children, etc.
Ny family joins me in thanking
the dear people for these useful
things. May the Lord who loveth
the cheerful giver and who said,
at is more blessed to give than to
receive" bless them all in both spir-
itual and temporal things.

While digging at the spot where a

they unearthed the skeleton of a man.
There is no clew as to the indetity
of the man, but it is almost certain
that he was a stranger who was muir

made the place infamous for long
time. The place is near Altamont,

Fleekenstein, the well known art-pho-
tographer OF Faribault, Mimi, whose
work has taken first prizes at many
expeditions in London, Paris and other
European cities. One of those pictures
was a shadowy portrait Of a young girl
which Mr.. Fleckenstein called "Ro-
nance. 1t was full Of romantic sug-
gestion, a fact that has furnished in

Higgins, also Of Farfbault, to write a
very picturesque story It is entitled
The Burning Of Romance and is
published in The Bellman of Novem-

admirably done and deserves niche
