One Brother Kills Another While
Fishing With Father.

Chicago, Dec. "A dispatch to the
Inter-Ocean from Carmi, Ill. says:
Brother killed brother because one
nearly drowned their father here yes
terday.
John Goodman, accompanied by his
two grown sons, Hugh and Thomas,
started on fishing trip.
While pushing the boat off shore
wrangle started, and high words were
passed before the party got under way.
On reaching the middle of the river,
they fshed for an hour in sullen sill
ence.
Suddenly the father shifted his seat,
lurching the boat slightly. This reused
the younger brother, Hugh, to such a
pitch of anger that he grabbed the old
man by the shoulders and showed him
over the gunwhale Of the boat. With
a loud cry John Goodman clutching
desperately at empty air, fell backward
into the river. When he came to the
surface it was nearly beneath the boat,
and he had to battle hard with the cur
rent before he could pull away from
this dangerous locality and make shore.
AS the father went overheard the
elder son grabbed an oar and struck

The tragedy was witnessed from the

Paris Wants American Singers for the
Opera Comique.

New York, Dec. miss Mary Gar
den, the American priIna donna, who
Is making her first New York appear
ance at the Manhattan opera house
this season, has been commissioned by
the manager of the Opera Comique in
Paris to find for him good voices in
America. While she is very busy with
several new roles she is to sing and
with her performances she will de-
vote all the time possible to hearing
young women who she thinks may be
available for the company at the
Opera Comique. Miss Garden says
that Americans are very popular in
Paris now because it seems that in
America only can fresh young voices
be found. The first two of a number
of young women studying in New
York whom she is to hear will sing
for her today.
"Of course, 1 shall not be able to
hear all the voices 1 should WISH in
fact shall be compelled to limit my
engagements of that sort" said Miss
Garden in discussing her plans
Furthermore, I shall not be likely to
go outside certain well defined paths
In finding those whom 1 wish to hear
Perhaps there will be many who will
wish the opportunity that must be dis
appointed. because my time is limited.
But shall do my best to find the best
that are to be found in my own way"

county had its agent, some of whom
as to sales made on credit may have
been exclusive agents-but an agent
for each machine company was in ac-
tual competition with the agents of
the other machine companies. This
competition extended not only as to
prices but also to the merits of the
different machines offered for sale
and use
But sometime in September 1902,
there came very sudden change in
the entire plan and manner of busi-
ness of these companies and this con-
stitutes the ground for this action.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2.-The superior

A trial that promises to attract
widespread attention, will soon begin
at Boise, Idaho, when President Moy-
er and Secretary Haywood. of the
Western Federation of Miners, togeth-
er with G.. A. Pettibone, will be ar
raigned on charge of asSassinating
Gov. Steunenberg, in 1905. Already
considerable interest has been
aroused over President Roosevelt's
classification of Haywood as an ''un-
desirable citizen" The murder of Coy
ernor Steunenberg was d brutal affair.
He was blown up by dynamite as he
was entering the gate of his home
and suspicion at once pointed to the
deed as having been planned and ex
ecuted by parties connected with the
Federation of Miners, and the arrest
of the three men followed. Labor Or
carnations all over the country are
interested in the case, and the accused
men have been supplied with plenty
OF money and the ablest lawyers that
could be secured. The accused, of
course protest their innocence, but the
prosecution expects not only to Con-
Wet them, but to bring out evidence
that will result in ether arrests
