 He left before the other members of the party, at about Il o'clock, saying goodby to the major, who was said to be not quite sober.
 He opened and shut the front door, but remained in the hall and then went upstairs and hid in the wife's bedroom
 Shortly after tue major retired for the 'night, as he was going shooting with Captain von Goeben early the next day.
 When half asleep he beard the cap tain descending the stairs. He got up and seized his revolver and turned to find himself face to face with a mask ed man.
 His weapon missed fire and Captain vou GOeben shot his victim at close quarters and then, leaving by a win. dow on. the other side Of the house from that on which the sentry was, went to his rooms and changed Into multi.
 After burning the mask he returned, intending to throw his victims body into the swiftly flowing Ale river, but was prevented from doing so by the encounter with the patrol

The confession of Captain von Goe- ben of the imperial German army that be murdered Major von Schoenebeck whose wife was yon Goeben's mis- tress, has stirred up military circles In Berlin scarcely less than did the sen. satlonal revelations of the von Moltke- Harden trial
 Captain von Goeben's confession was wrested from him by confronting him with the burned fragments of the black mask with which the murderer concealed bis features and which was afterward discovered in the stove of bis rooms.
 The evidence seems to indicate that the murder was committed in cold blood at the instlgation of Frau von Schoenebeck.
 The chain of evidence as constructed shows that on Christmas eve Captain Yon Goeben bought a black mask at a shop In Allensteln, insisting on large eye holes.
 The sentry on duty in the courtyard of the old castle, opposite Major yon Schoenebeck's villa, heard a shot just before midnight, but saw nothing.
 An hour later man in civilians clothes came up to the sentry and asked the time and went on toward the villa. where he met the patrol coming to relieve the sentry.
 He thereupon tried to hide in a dark recess of the villa; but the corporal being suspicious and going after the stranger, he took to his heels.

A BEGINNING IN GOOD ROADS

If the automobile race which has al ready failed of its main purpose so far as thas purpose is uudersoOd up here' has st least done much good in showing the United States the absolute neces- sity of acting in she matter Ot good roads about which they have been talking so long,
 It would seem that Colorado is about to enter upon the practical side Of the question as indicated by the story Of the beginning Ot ten million dollar boulevard printed the other day.
 The enterprise is credited by pub ueis,s of that state to the selection of Denver by the Democratic national committee for the holding of the national convention. It shows how one good turn suggests and Is provocative of another. how the air Is electrified by the doing or one thing so that another and bigger thing comes natuF- ally. and progress gathers .headway by its own momentum and becomes a habit. Itis reported that the going to Den yer of the convention has acted like tonic on the people of he whole state'
 The Rocky Mountain Highway assO- citation will be incorporated to carry ou. the boulevard scheme. The ns- tional government will be asked to con- tribute toward the expense of the en- ,erpr.se, aud the states, cities and counties through which the boulevard will pass will also supply port ot the money. Ultimately the highway will have branches ex. ending into the seve- raI states of the Rocky Mountain rsgiOO' aud touring that section of the United States in motor cars will then be a real torn, of recreation.
 Ia Colorado the boulevard will be built by couvic, labor. This much is settled, and It is said, convicts will un- doub,edly do the work in the other adjoining states. At the last session of the Colorado assembly slO,OOO was ap- propria,ed with which to purchase tools for the convlc,s to work on state high ways. The legislature had ID mind the boulevard scheme when this ap- propriation was made.
 Thus, there is beginning of what may and probably will develop into comprehensive scheme Of national high ways extending from coast to coast ard such as will serve ss an escape valve for the speed ard touring passion intro duced with the automobile.
 In view of the vast benefits to follow iu every way the United States should lead rather than lag in the matter Of it's public roads; should be proud rather than ashamed.
