Coroner Finley and attended the in
quest.
The jury was about to render a YER
dict without her testimony, but being
informed that it was the desire Of Mrs.
Reynolds TO make statement. she
was allowed to take the stand, al
though Deputy District Attorney
Adams objected and Coroner Finley
said her testimony was not neces-
sary.
Heavily yelled and sobbing bitterly
when her name was called, she over
came her nervousness and voiced her
confession without faltering.
Al first she gave the bare facts of
the tragedy. but when prompted by
Attorney Schnabel she told her en-
tire story. laying bare her intimacy
with Herbert.
Il loved George Herbert" she said,
"and what l say now is Gods truth.
What l told the district attorney is
false. / made the statement to him
believing Mr.. Herbert was not hurt,
and 1 did not want our intimacy to be
exposed. We knew each other for
for several months. 1 got room for
him at the Lincoln, because it is near
my home. and we passed every after
noon and evening together since last
Friday, when he came here from
Walla Walla. I went to the room
with Attorney Schnabel and Mr. Shell
ton, Mr.. Herbert's friend from Walla
Walla. l had a key to the room and
had a few hairpins there. Mr.. Her
bert visited me last Tuesday, the day
before the shooting, and we passed
the afternoon together. My husbands
little boy told Mr.. Reynolds about it
and that led to the shooting. l was
so excited at the time l do not know
what was said by my husband or Mr..
Herbert. l simply heard the shoot
ing and tried to protect George. Mr..
Herbert had asked me to marry him,
and l consented to be his wife. We
intended to go to Chicago, where he
would obtain a divorce from his wife
and from my husband
Questioned further after the in
quest by a Telegram reporter, Mrs.
Reynolds said:
I'VE loved each other deeply and
had been corresponding right along.
He denied knowing me intimately just
to shield me, and l said what l did 10
the district attorney because l be-
lieved he would live. He had often
told me he would make arrangements
to leave his property to me, and that
deed found in his pocket where he
conveys property in San Diego to
himself as George Hibbins was made
out for that purpose. He had put
verses to music for me, but has the
one he thought the most of. These
verses l give you are the ones we
talked over the day before he was
shot His wife is also a musician and
left Seattle recently to go to New
York He and l had planned to go
to Chicago soon, and he told me to
tell a young woman who lives here
with me of our intentions. Mr.. Shell

AMERICA MUST
KEEP THE ISLANDS
CONGRESSMAN DECLARES POS
SESSIONS ARE RICH WITH
VARIOUS TREASURES.

San Francisco Nov. 11.-After an
extended tour Of the orient, the Phil
ippines and Hawaii, Congressman
Mckinney, from the Rock Island dis
trict Of Illinois, returned yesterday
on the steamer Persia and will pro-
coed east at once,
AS member of the territorial
committee which left here last June,
Mckinney visited Honolulu and the
Philippines, where an exhaustive
study of conditions was made. Ac-
cording to the congressman we must
never entertain any idea of letting
the islands go. He said:
The resources of the islands are
unbounded. Great coal, copper and
gold deposits have been found and
even greater wealth seems in store
for the United States in other re
spects, immense timber holdings, for
instance.
There is one thing" he added.
that must be done quickly for the
Philippines if America would better
conditions there and that is to re-
move the revenue on sugar and to-
bacco."

THE LABOR WORLD.

The Union Pacific railroad company,
because of financial conditions, dis
charged several thousand workmen.
A general strike of all railroad en-
pIoyes in England, Scotland and Ire
land was called to decide the question
OF union recognition.
The Butte miners union accepted
the reduction of wages from 81 TO
$3.50, as announced by the Amalga-
mated Copper company.
At Lawrence, Mass, 1900 operatives
struck at the Arlington mills because
Of the discharge Of workman by

ceding to all demands except recUgni,

BOOZE DISPENSERS
MUST Be CITIZENS

Hereafter an applicant for saloon
license in this city must swear that he
is full citizen of the United States
and state Of Wisconsin, that he is a
resident of the City of Madison and
that he has never been convicted OF
an offense against the laws of the
state punishable by Imprisonment.
Notice that a change in the license
law has gone into effect has Deen
promulgated and applications for
saloon licenses will be made to CON
form thereto.
Heretofore the applicant for license
did not have to be a citizen of the
United States and it is said that there
are several saloon keepers in the city
who have not taken out their second
papers" The laws in effect previous
to the passage Of this last regulation
did not make it obligatory that the
applicant be even a resident Of the
city.
The clause in the statue providing
that the applicant must swear that he
has never been convicted of an offense
punishable by a sentence to the state
prison is another step towards the
ideal of the Legislators.

It was eight years ago that he
turned the state republicans against
German and took his place in the
United States senate. In turn, how
ever, he was defeated by German and
was then appointed by President
Roosevelt to the place he held at MS
death.
Last winter, during the height of
the capitals gaiety, Judge McComas
fell in love with Mrs. Hebe Harrison
Muir, whom the recent death Of Judge
Upton Muir, the noted Kentucky jur-
list, had widowed. She is now but So

Brsiny Youth.

Malcolm DoweII, of Washington, a
Brainy Youth.
Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 10 To be 8
years old and in a class in the public
school with boys twice his age, and
football giants, and yet lead that class
in his studies, is the uique record of
little Malcolm Haskins Dowell, son Of
Mr. and Mrs. George Dowen, in Wash

practically stepped from babyhood
without any educational training into

ington public schools. Held back by
serious illness he has not had an en-
tire year of school work
AT 5 years of age he delighted to
read to his grandmother while she
held the book. He slid glibly over the
longest words in the book and no Bib
lical common name was beyond his
powers IF pronunciation. He would
listen to stories read aloud at 5 years
of age and then repeat them almost
verbatim.
Studies Two Lessons at Once.
Shut out from sports that would de
light other boys for the past four
years. undergoing a severe surgical
operation last year and racked with
pain most Of the time, the boy pursued
his school work at home against the
wishes of his parents. When the time
came this fall for him to enter school
for The first time in a year the boy
jumped from one grade to another by
his qualifications, until it was found
that he was ready for the seventh
grade, thing unheard of among nor
nal children. Ee can recite for both
classes. While he studies his arith-
metic for his next lesson he can listen
to the recitation of the next class and
know the context of the book IS well
as the upper pupil reciting. This re-
markable feat was discovered last
week when the boy recited the story
under consideration by the other class
In its entirety and yet showed full
set of figures, completely and accur-
ately solved.
Music is as natural a gift as his
memory. This has been demonstrated

FLAMES.

Duluth, Nov. 11.-Fire Of un-
known origin caused the destruction
of the Great Northern elevator "A"
ct Superior Friday with 100000 bush
els of grain, principally wheat, all OF

corner Of the elevator "A" dock and
communicated to the elevator The
steamers w. A. Parent and w A.

slip and were pulled out By tugs to
save them from destruction

Peavey company, was on fire and for
time it looked as though it would
go, but the fremen succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames. The blaze

likewise was extinguished before seri-
Gus damage was done
