Polite Senator Pettus.

| It is generally agreed among occu-
pants of the galleries at the capitol
that the most polite and accommodate
ing member Of the senate is Mr.. Pet
tus of Alabama, aged IS. One of the
most rigid rules regarding elevators
in the senate wing is that they must
be run to accommodate senator's, no
matter who the other passengers may
be. Mr.. Pettus never allows this
rule to be enforced in his case, al
ways instructing the man to let the
other passengers off wherever they
wish to alight.

There is also a strong chance for a
republic. Russia's influence in Servia
has always been very strong, and in
the event Of any disaster to the pres.
ent ruler, the car might desire to

Emperor William of Germany is
also known to cast longing eye at
Peters throne, as suitable chance
for one of his sons to exercise an i'm.

Thus, if Peter stepped down from

When the maid brought that answer the
countess hastened. late at night as it
was, to the hotel and besought him till
he promised to give her the money next
day. That morning he disappeared, ,eav-
ing note threatening her with his ven
geance.
The countess explained to Count Kama
rowski that she had been robbed. and,
believing her. he promised to give her
the amount. Two days later came an
other telegram from Prilukoff, asking for
giveness, and making a rendezvous at
Munich. Explaining that she had got a
clew to the robber she persuaded the
count to leave for Venice with his son
and daughter, while she herself went to
Munich, promising to follow the others
later.
Become Reconciled
The countess and Pri.ukoff had a recon-
ciliation in Munich, and when she started
for Venice, three days later, he accom-
panied her to Verona. Ltaer he arrived
in Venice and at a secret meeting there
she confessed to him that the young
Russian noble, Nikaos Naumoff, who was
madly in love with her and whom she
was also beginning to love- followed her
every step.
SO wildly jealous was Pri,ukoff that she
had the greatest difficulty in calming
him by endearments. Then came the
first idea of the murder plot, Naunloff
being regarded by both as splendid
tool. She alleges that Prilukoff suggested
to her the idea of using Naumoff's jeal-
ousy to Kamarowski and of telling him
that the count treated her in shameful
manner, although she was betrothed to
him. This so excited Naumoff that he
determined to shoot the count.
Prilukoff bastened back TO Vienna after
the shooting to help the countess to get
the insurance money. Both were arrested
here At first each blamed the other,
but on hearing the news of the counts
death they broke down and confessed.
Countess of irish Descent
The countess tall, fine-looking wo-
man, is the daughter of Colonel Court
ORurik descended from the Irish family
of O'Rourke). who, with his wife, was
we'll known as a prodigal host. Her hus-
band, Count Tarnovska, was extremely
wealthy, and they had a splendid home
in Kieff While the countess was seen
driving every afternoon with her two
little boys and little daughter, to whom
she behaved as a most affectionate moth
.er, there were many scandals concerning
her relations with officers. In her house
one evening. before her husbands eyes,
she put her arms around the neck OF
man, whom the count shot dead ON the
spot. The jury acquitted him OF the
charge of murder and he obtained MS
divorce Immediately afterward.

JEALOUSY AND GREED
PROMPT TERRIBLE CRIME
WOMAN MAKES CONFESSION I'M
PLlcATING MEN
Russian Count Murdered by One Lover
of Countess While the Other
Instigates Diabolical
Plot

VIENNA, Oct 26.-Count Kamarowski
the Russian captain who was shot in his
bed at the house where he was staying
here, has died of his wounds and the
arrest made in connection with his MUIR
der discloses terrible tale of human
greed and Illicit love
The counts assailant after gaining ac-
cess to the counts room, hred five shots
from his revolver initiating four wounds.
The count was taken to hospital
where an operation was performed.
The murderer escaped in gondola,
giving the gondolier $50 to take him away.
Subsequently he was arrested in the train
at Verona. Questioned by the police he
declared that he was Henry Durand, a
Belgian, but before the magistrate he
finally confessed to the crime, and said
that he is Nikolas Naumof, aged q,
born at St. Petersburg, the son of M.
Alexander Naumoff, former governor of
Perm.
The Vienna police subsequently made
two arrests in connection with the crime,
and the confessions which have been
made have revealed that the murder
was not political, as was at first sup
posed, but was inspired merely by the
greed tOr money.
The persons arrested are the Countess
Marie Tarnovska, an extremely beautiful
young woman, who is divorced from her
husband, and Russian lawyer named
Pri.ukoff. The latter has confessed that
Naumoff who committed the murder, was
real = only the tool of the countess, who
planned the crime in order to obtain
100000 for which the murdered man was
insured.
The Woman's Confession
Countess Tarnovskas confession to the
police, made in a state of the highest
excitement, is in substance as follows:
She had known Prilukoff for three years.
He was her lawyer in the divorce pro-
ceedings taken by her husband, and thus
they fell in love with one another. She
knew that he had committed embezz.e-
ment in Moscow and for that reason
she fled with him. Last spring they came
to Vienna where both iived at the Grand
hotel under false names. Later they
Travelled in France and reached Berlin
last May They lived for some time in
one of the best hotels there and then
took place their first separation.
The countess Travelled to Russia, but
Prilukoff did not dare to follow, ard
went to Paris, whence he sent her teie-
gram after telegram, imploring her to
meet him in Vienna. She refused. for
In the meantime she had Joined Count
Kamarowski whom she had known for
years With him she went to Berlin.
Prilukoff followed her Immediately. There
in the hotel they had secret meeting,
marked byN violent recriminating. She
was determined, she said, to marry the
rich count and to leave Prilukof. But
she was willing to Npay him half the
money that he had embezzled.
Gave PriIukoff Money
This, by the way, does not agree with
the confession of Prilukeff, who declared
that he wished to end their acquaintance,
ard demanded back his money in order
that he might rehabilitate himself.
1t is certain, however. that the countess
gave him $4,000. The same night she
sent her maid with a request that he
should return half that sum. He refused.

CURED ey 4 TYPEWRITER

Constant companionship with a type
writing machine has soothing ana
elevating influence on man, NO hard
drinker, for instance, can use type
writer. His nerves must be in good
order or he will strike the wrong let
ters and mangle up his copy. There is
a case of this kind which led to the re-
formation of a man. He was type
writer and stenographer for law firm
on Broad street. He was good, all
around man, but he would go on the
spree occasionally. This the head OF
the firm did not like, so he thought ne
would teach him lesson. The stem
ographer was a methodical man, and ne
went on the skate" at stated times In
the year. When he returned on one
occasion his employer had the machine
all fixed for him. He had had the let
ters changed so that when he struck
"h," for instance, it would print *,
and so on. The stenographer came
back, feeling rather shaky, anyhow,
and when he wrote off his first letter
the result was appalling. He began to
tremble. The boss kindly sent him to
the Adirondacks to brace up. The cure
was complete. He never touched liquor
again as long as he lived.-New York
Times.

Ebert, clerk: Frank Allen, William PuFdy and William Freter, aupditing committee. The report of the treasurer showed that of the 1906 taxes enough remained on hand and uncollected to pay running expenses for another year so that no tax was laid.
 While Officer John Claffey was passing Forman's cloak store on South Main street about 4:40 this morning he saw considerable smoke in the place. Upon Investigating he discovered that there was a small fire there and he hustled to the Leavenworth street fire house and informed the company. It was only short run back to the store and on entering the place the firemen found more smoke than a blaze. It seems that the smoke was caused by a live wire coming in contact with an cleo tric fan. There was no damage by fire.

THE SAME OLD GAME
Two FIinl-FIammers Tackled the
 Wrong Man This Time.

Carlo Misiano and Giovani Fiani were arrested in this city to-day on suspicion of being finn Hammers. They were suspected of endeavoring to work a game similar to that play ed in this city some months ago when couple of local Italians were fleeced for about $40O.
 The accused encountered Paolin Rubbo of South Main street early to- day and immediately started to tell him of the $10,000 which they had with them. They wer afraid to trust ftheir money in the banks and more over, as they were going to stay in the city for day only they would just as soon leave their roll in charge of Friend Rubbo while they transacted some business. Rubbo listened. He rather had an inkling of what was coming. They wanted him to give them $500 as a security for the roll which they would leave in his possession. But Rubbo told them he was broke" As soon as he was out of sight of the men he in- formed Officer James Walsh of what had happened. The officer at length got his hands on one of the men and brought him to the station. The oth- CT was described as wearing derby hat and black tie among other things. Detective Colasanto who was working on the case saw man an- swering the description coming along Bank street, but he had no derby hat or black tie. Nevertheless Colasanto thought he was the person wanted so he arrested him. At the station his black tie was found in his pocket and the cap was new, evidently having been just purchased. On one of the prisoners was found $62 in bills and roll of old papers folded in such a manner as to make neat roll when some good bills were on the outside.
