article was spurious. The trial OF

Official announcement has been made
BY the Milwaukee railway of the pur-
chase by that road of the Alphabet
railway running northwest from
Albert Lea. Minn., which will be
used as link in the through service
which will shortly be established by
the Iowa Falls Short Line and the
Milwaukee between Des Moines and
the Twin Cities. The road will ma.
terially shorten the present Milwau-
kee line bAtween Albert Lea and st.
Paul. The road was built several
years ago by private enterprise.
The idea was to build northwest from
Albert Lea. Mankato being about the
middle of it. However, they never
got the line constructed even as fal
as Mankato. although the surveys
were made beyond. The road was
named the Duluth. st. Cloud. Glencoe
8 Mankato. and was generally termed
tie Alphabet line" The Milwaukee
now proposes to build the line on
from st. Clairin to Mankato, where il
will connect with the Milwaukee line
again, making q much more direct
and shorter route between Albert Lea
and Mankato.

It is Cruel to the Child.

The practice of F'forcing'' a young.
child's musical talents, Moriz Rosen-
thai, the weII-known pianist, unhesi-
tatingly condemns cit is a great In
justice to the public to foist a chiId's
undeveloped talents upon him, but it
is a far greater injustice to the child.
There Is nothing so inherently poetic
as an imaginative child, and who
is unsteady inclined is apt to be i'm
aginative. If you put him upon the
stage before he has attained his men
tai equilibrium you are running the
danger of making him s~elf-censcious
theatric, and of stunning In him the
development of a quality which as a
musician he is lost without. But Colt
sic dank, the custom is a passing
one. From "Little Glimpses of

MARVIN MURDER THEORY
Farm Hand Suspected of Causing
Missing Delaware Lads Death.
Search For Kidnapers Abandoned
Body May Have Been in Bag
Carried Away.

Dover, Del.-Through a statement
made to Detective Frank H. Lore, Of
New Jersey. by Horace Caldwell, a
farm hand, of Kits Hammock, Frank
H. Butler, who is now locked mp in
the Dover jail, is charged with the
murder of Horace N. Marvin, Jr.,i the
f~our-yeaf-old son of DR.. Fl. N. Marvin,
WHO disappeared m~ysterfously from
Bay Meadows, the Marvin farm, on
the morning Of March 4.
Butler, who was a farm hand en-
ployed by Charles WoodaH, the man
who sold Bay Meadows to DR.. Marvin,
was the last person known to have
e the Marvin lad. Suspicion has
been directed against him for several
weeks.
Butler a few weeks ago obtained a
job as deckhand on the steamer John
P. Wilson, o f-the Dover and Philadei-
phia Navigation Company.
Lore, Lorenzo d. Woodruff and
James Hawkins, State detective, Of
Delaware, went to Philadelphia and
boarded the steamboat John P. Will

Butler was served with a warrant is
sued by Justice Of the Peace &. f.
Wood and sworn to by Detective Haw-
kins. He took his arrest coolly. Dur
Ing the next three hours, up to the
time the vessel locked at Lebanon,
Butler "a put through a sweating
process by the detectives.
Butler denies knowledge of the dis
appearance of the child and reiter-
ates that the boy was sitting on a
haystack on the Marvin farm when he
and several other men, who were
moving the effects of the former own
er Of the land, left the place. Butler,
Caldwell says, was ordered to go to
the barn and load up wheat screen
ings in bags. This he did, and when
Caldwell later entered the barn he
found THAI Butler had loaded three
bags into q wagon and a fourth was
lying on the floor of the barn. Cald-
well says he lifted this bag into the
wagon himself and found it heavy,
although Butler had said it vas filled
with corks such IS T used by fisher
men for nets. This bag, Caldwell
says, disappeared. Acting on the the
DRY that this bag contained the body
of the child the detectives decided to
charge Butler with murder.
1t is the theory of Lore and Haw-
kins that Butler accidentally ran over
the boy, and, rather than take the
dead body to the house, concealed it
in a sack of corks and removed it to
the woods, a mile and a half from the
Marvin farm, where ne buried it.
