Murder Mystery in CHASTITY Find Near
Seattle, Wash.

Seattle. Wash, Sept 24.-The body
of an unknown girl about Is years
old was found in a trunk on the
beach at South Alki, about two and
half miles south of Elliott bay. The
girl had evidently been strangled and
had been dead from two to five days.
In the trunk were the girls clothing
and the clothing of a man and two
letters, one of which may lead to her
identity. This letter was that of a Sis
ter to a brother. It was written on
letter head of 81. ID. Covington, Fuel,
Feed and Hauling, st. Paul, Mimi
and was signed Edith" 1t bears the
date of April IL, 1905, and was en-
closed in a worn and unaddressed en-
velope. 1t was written to Frank Gov
ington. The other letter had no sig
nificance. as far as could be deciph-
cred.
When two men in a small launch
discovered it they drew it upon the
beach. In the tray were two rocks.
Lifting the tray, they saw woman's
head. They notified the police, and an
examination of the trunk revealed,
hidden under lot of clothes, the nude
body of a girl. A chemise was tied
taut around her neck and there was
gag in her mouth. An autopsy re-
vealed no marks of violence, except
that she had been strangled. NO
motive was disclosed for the crime
and it is believed that she was either
| married or had a lover.
The st, Paul police have beene no
tilted to search that city for Coving-
ton in the hope of Identifying her
body.

wishes of her parents, disowned by rel
atives, murdered and her body packed

A Horses Mental Troubles.

From tn, Outing Magazine.
To begin with. does your horse suffer from
nostalgia or inconsistencies? Most horses do,
and many really pine away and die from no
other cause. We can at least, by making
the poor creature thoroughly comfortable,
do all in our power to give his pain sur

tented, for than inconsistencies Of the acute
and chrome form man knows few more
wearing ailments. Is your horses DISPOSE
ton sociable or misanthropic? You don't
know? Well, why not find out? Does 1t
irritate him to have his yokemate or neigh
bors eating ,nosily and visibly while he
does? Is privacy evidently his preference =?
Very well, then, by boards or zinc or tin or
canvas shut off both sides of his stall at
the head so that he may eat IN peace and
live the Isolated life which he prefers.
If he lays back his ears or snaps at his
nelghbors or f1dgets and kicks at the partf-
tons, ETC., he does not fancy company-at
least at mealtimes-and he will be better

his efforts to eat just to spite the late conner

The Red Flag.
From the BROOKLYN Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
We do not know whether higher courts
would sustain the New York police mag
istrate who lately condemned the use of
the red flag at sbeeches or lectures or on
other public occasions, as tending toward
breach of the peace by melting men to dis
order and violence; but there can be no
doubt that the employment of this en-
blem is everywhere associated in the public
mind with riotous assemblages and acts of
lawlessness and crime. The claim of the
defendant toward whom the magistrate
directed his remarks, that he always flew
the American flag beside the red flag, was
meant to be reassuring, but was only
ridiculous.
Civil government here, in England, in
France and in Germany has tolerated the
red flag at public functions and will con-
tinue to tolerate II, we suppose, so long
those who fiaunt it are not moved to the
commission of crime by its use. In this
country we do not particularly concern
ourselves with emblems except around cleo
ton time. An emblem merely serves to in
dictate a mans opinion, and the law takes
cogniZance only of what men do, not of
what they think. But the idea that brother
hood, justice and equality are better SYM
boliZed by the red ensign of anarchy and
socialism than by the stars and stripes
is worthy only of those who are altogether
united for the privileges and duties OF
American citizenship.

Berlin. Dec. 6.-The ministerial crf-

Is This crisis has been far more I'M

the history Of the empire that chan
csllor has appealed to the majority

ministers has always been: 1--WE are
responsible to the emperor; we Will
hold Office 80 long as it pleases him;
we are not responsible to the reich
stag"
Consequently the action taken by
Prince Won Buelow introduces a revo-
lutionary change into German govern
mental methods. His appeal means
nothing less than the responsibility
