story of the triple death pact. He
looked gaunt and pale, and there were
hollows under his eyes.
A policeman's hand fell upon hil
shoulder.
"You are arrested for murder in the
first degree" were the words that met
his ears.
DR.. J. p. Lord had named him be-
fore all the world AZ the man who was
seen staggering away from the Ruskin
home, half an hour after the fatal shot
was fred.
Make the bail as high as you wish.
We will meet It," said he.
He was admitted to bail and left the
court with staggering footsteps.
What win be the outcome of the
strange triple murder pact? No man

Abbie Rice accompanied the doctor
to his office. A shaky, nervous wreck
Of man was there waiting them. It
was evident that he was on the verge
of lunacy from shattered nerves. He
could scarcely speak coherently. And
there between these three the
strangest suicide pact in the history
of American crime was arranged.
Davis was to do the killing, and for
this service the doctor was to give
him bottle of chloride of gold and
bottle of morphine tablets. After
shooting the doctor he was to take the
morphine, and then next day when she
heard the others attempt had been
successful Abbie Rice was to kill her

"A man shot me-" he said, and that
was all the information they got.
In half an hour he was dead.
The next morning when II was
learned that DR.. Rustin had been
killed there was tremendous excite
ment in Omaha.
And following, the first excitement
came the news that one Of DR.. Rus
tins patients, Charles Edward Davis,
brother of one of the leading bankers
in the city, had attempted suicide.
The police arrested the woman with
whom it was known Rustin had been
friendly, Abbie Rice. She had no
chance to carry out her part Of the
agreement, for they caught her early
in the morning following the shooting.
For three days the police were in
the air. Then somebody remarked 80

And then, the full story came out.

Mint Jelly.

Many persons dislike anything of
food variety containing gelatine, and
the usual meat jellies contain such.
but splendid jelly to serve with cold
or warm meat is a mint jelly, the bulk
made with apples. Cook the apples
the same as for apple jelly, strain the
Juice and add handful of crushed
mint. Boil until the flavor Is ex-
tracted, strain twice, and add the
same amount OF sugar and boil until
thick jelly is formed. Grape juice
can be favored in the same manner.
and also cranberry juice, which is
really delicious when favored with
fresh mint.

Imprisoned In Mine.

Postville, Pa, Feb. 17-Twenty-
eight miners were imprisoned in the
Midvalley collery, near mount Carmel,
this morning by the breaking OF dam
of water which had formed in a drift,
which caused a rush of mud into a
gangway where the men were at work.
All day long a party of rescuers en-
deavored to reach the entombed men,
and shortly after 6 o'clock tonight
they were given encouragement by
sounds of digging from the inside.
Later a shot was also heard, indicating
that the men were at work trying to
effect their own rescue, and also CIV
ing assurance that the air is good.
Among the men eutombed are a
number of experienced miners, and it
is believed that it will be possible to
effect the rescue of all the men unless
some of them should have met death
by being smothered in the rush Of
mud when the dam broke.

riders, 800 strong, visited Eddyville at
l o'clock this morning and whipped
ten men, four Of them white and six
negroes. The white men who are to-
day suffering from sore backs as the
result of severe chastisement with
switches are:
Police Judge C. w. Rucker, Leslie
Woods, former city marshal; Press
Fraly, who occasionally acted as
deputy city marshal, and Grace Robert
son, a saloon porter.
The connection between the whip
ping of the white men and the negroes
and the tobacco war in Western Ken
lucky is not apparent, and no one has
been able to offer any explanation.
None of the victims was known to be
either active or influential in opposi-
ton to the farmers pooling movement.
No attempt was made at destroying
stores or C0Dacco.i
The riders were well drilled and well
armed. About $50 entered the town
from the direction of Trigg county
and the remainder from the opposite
direction.
Over a thousand shots were fired
during the course of their stay, but
the only casualty reported is that of
young woman, whose face is said to
have been grazed by stray bullet
The home of Judge Rucker was
badly damaged before the riders were
able to get hold of him, the walls be-
ing riddled with bullets, doors and
shutters torn off, etc. After taking
the men to the edge of the town and
whipping them they were allowed to
return home.
After the whipping had been ad-
ministered the mob awakened County

perjury by Mr.. Morse during an ex-
animation before the grand jury, was
found by the special grand jury today
after q short time he had appeared in
court to answer the two indictments
found against him last week. charg-
ing him with grand larceny. Arrange
foents were made tonight to have him
appear before Justice Victor Dowling
Of the criminal branch of the Supreme
Court, to plead to the perjury indict-
ment.
Another turn in the ease today was
the serving on Philip j. Britt, coun-
sci for Morse, of summonses in two
actions brought against the farmer
banker. The complaints in these
suits have not yet been filed, but it
was explained that they relate to
stock transactions which occurred
some time ago.
Morse's presence in the criminal
court building this morning was COM
paratively uneventful, If the finan-
cier was worried there was no
indication of it in his manner. When
arraigned before Justice Bowling he
pleaded not guilty, through his counsel,
and Justice Bowling set next Monday
for further hearing. The latter then
asked for two weeks in which to ex-
anime the indictments and the minutes
of the grand jury which returned the
indictment.

Sheer Nerve.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 17.-Sheer
nerve and bluff is what has won for

until year ago ran asmall brokerage
Office in New Orleans under the name
of w. A. Baldwin & Co., fortune of
SIPS, 900 without cent of capital.
They bid for $4,000, 900 of the recent
issue Of New York City bonds, and
offered 1O4, a little more than the
next highest bidder of the Morgan
syndicate. With the bid they sent a
check for $158, 900, when as one of
the brothers said tonight: we had not
enough money in bank then to pay
protest fees if the check came back. y
But the brothers had sized up the
market right. The check came over
from New York this morning. In the
meantime the bonds were selling for
lot, and they were offered that by a
New York bond house for their allot-
ment. With that offer it was no
trouble to make arrangements with a
bank to carry the check. Tonight
w. A. Baldwin said they had accepted
the New York offer for their bonds,
and il, as seems probable, they re-
ceiye their full allotment they stand
to make net profit of $126, 600.
