Police Believe Rich HOrtOnviIIe
Woman Was Brutality Slain.
Bearing every evidence of the commits
sion of brutal murder, the disfigured
body of Mrs. Carrie Shaw, a rich young
widow, was found in a mill pond twelve
feet deep at the village of HOrtOnyille.
The discovery was preceded by the finding
near the water of part of the woman's
wearing apparel. Charles Abrams, who
was seen with the young woman the pre-.
vious night, was arrested at New Lon
don. The pair are said to have been
keeping company, and it is asserted that
Abrams called upon the woman to make
up quarrel of some days duration. Abb
rams made a statement in which he de-
clared that he was as much surprised as
anyone to learn of the young wOman's
death. He is unable to account for the
finding of the body, as he said he left
Mrs. Shaw all right at the depot the pre-
vious night in Hortonville.

THE MEN AND THE CHURCHES.

tSESENs seems to have been emphasized by the first
session of the body, at which only 200 of
the 500 delegates were present. Rev. DR.. Washington

he said: should not be such predominant fem

There doubt that there Is marked predominance
of women not only in the Congregational body but in

BABIES AND HOGS.

BABIES AND HOGS.
A western woman recently wrote to the
congressman from her district asking govern
mental advice as to the of her sick baby.
The congressman replied, of course, that the
federal government had no department that
could help her.
This is an illustration of the pathetic con-
fdence many people have in the resources and
capacities of the government to any and
all ills. The story as told was intended to be
funny, but it isn't bit funny. It will be used
no doubt, to point the assertion that the prac
tice of appealing to the government to regulate
everything connected with human associations
is going too far. It will be claimed that the,
anxious mother appealing to the government
for advice about her sick child is the logical
outcome of the policy of looking toward the
government for the cure of all social ills.
Yet the mothers mistake is not unnatural.
Her husband a little while before, had sick
hog, and the case had puzzled the local wise
acres. He had written to the department of
agriculture, described the symptoms, and had
promptly received intelligent advice that en-
abled him to cure the sick animal. Naturally,
the mother thought that government great
enough and humane enough to cure sick hog
would be great enough and humane enough to
tell how to cure sick baby.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer commenting
upon this incident, remarks facetiously: "The
example of this western woman, however little
seriousness attaches to it, indicates line
of endeavor for those busly engaged at this
quadriennial season in seeking live political
issues. Why does not some party make
slogan of the demand of this woman of the
west that the federal government establish
department, or at least, bureau, for the dis
semin alton of information relative to the care
of infants?'
This is intended to be humorous. Yet at
the same time the American Medical assoca-
ton and other organizations interested in the
public health have been asking the two great
parties to declare for national board of health
that can cooperate with the state and MUM
cipal health authorities in fighting the prevent
able diseases that yearly reap fearful harvest
of human lives, everyone of which is a reproach
to civilization. There is no Joke about that. It
is we'll known that consumption, typhoid fever
and the greater part of the ills that carry off
many babies in their earliest years are entirely
preventable States and municipalities with
greater or less energy and effectiveness,
fighting these evils, but their efforts are IN
organized undrected, and therefore largely
wasted. Meanwhile the government is spend
ing large sums of money-and it is money we'll
spent-in fighting the diseases that attack farm
animals and edible fruits and vegetables, but it
is not spending penny to protect the people
from the preventable diseases that cause by far
the greater portion of deaths in this country.
Are human lives less precious in the eyes
of the government than the lives of hogs and
apple trees. simply because the latter are pro
perty?-Duluth Herald.

A Washington dispatch states that the
Standard Oil Co. has been to the president beg
ging for mercy in the matter of the $29,OOO,0OOl
fne being willing to plead guilty to the charge
of rebating, and pay nominal fine. 1t appears
that the president was somewhat disposed to-
accept the compromise, but that the depart
ment of justice was firm against any compro
mise. If the practice of giving and receiving
rebates can be stopped, the imposition of the
500 900, 900 is an unnecessary hardship, for it
will be paid by the consumers of oil in the long
run.
Betting on the results of the presidential
election this year has taken new form. The
new method-which is really an insurance
policy insuring the holder against the election
of Bryan-owes it's origin to manufacturer
who felt confident of sharp revival of bust
ness following the election of Taft and was
anxious to run his plant at full capacity during
the months preceding the election, if only he
could protect himself against the contingency
of Bryan's success. In his predicament the
manufacturer went to a prominent firm of in
surance brokers in New York and asked them
for policy nsuring his business against Bry-
ans election. They cabled to London L1oyds
for terms and received of-hand quotation OF
20 per cent which is equal to odds of about 4 to
against Bryan's victory. The manufacturer
considered the rate too high. After reflection,
the Lloyds offered to write policy at 1912 per
cent. The offer was accepted and insurance to
the amount of more than 100000 taken.

Publicity of campaign contributions is
going to be the practice this year of both the
Republican and Democratic national COM
rnittees and now it is announced that the Re
publican state committee will adopt the same
plan 1t is probable that the corporations will
not contribute as literally as they have in the
past, nor will either committee for their
contribution. Bryan has started to raise fund
by asking the farmers to contribute.

combination of the city delegations and his
scattering support turnout the state has not
been we'll receieved, and in many places there
is strong opposition If the Democrats nominate
strong man for this place, and he makes
fight for election, it is probable that he will re-
ceive many Republican votes, tho just what
the result will be is always uncertain where
there are three men running for Office and
two to be elected.
Bank clearings always good index to
the general prosperity of the country, and
recent analysis the bank statistics shows that
they exceed what they were last year here IN
the Middle West and Northwest, but that they
are somewhat below last year in the East, parts
of the South and Pacific coast. But in those
localities they compare very favoraby with the
wear BEFORE The country is much better off
when normal business conditions prevail than
in the times of unusual business activity whc h
always precede panic. And part of the
country enjoys any healthier business year
after year than Minnesota and neighboring
Northwestern states.
s
The Democratic party of Minnesota is in a
vervinharmonious and unsatisfactory condition.
So far as the presidential nominee is concerned,
the state committee seems to have very little
interest in his winning out in Minnesota, and
no confidence in his being able to land major
itv of the electoral votes, and have lett his
campaign to the Bryan Volunteers. The latter
have no interest in the state campaign, and
don't care whether the Johnson wing OF the
party elect governor again or not. Mean
while the Democratic leaders are having hard
time trying to find candidate tor governor,
for Johnson will not accept another nomination
and they stand no show at all OF winning out
with anyone else Men like John Lind, who
would be able to make fairly good run, will
not accept the nomination, and the kitchen
cabinet" realize that certain defeat awaits a
less we'll known man. Of course the Demo
Gratis will nominate somebody, but athere will
be very little interest in the state campaign
