FLORIDA TO SPEAK FIRST
st. Augustine Rapidly Filling With
Delegates to the Republican
State Convention.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 5.-This
city is rapidly filling with delegates
to the republican state convention
which is to meet here tomorrow to
choose delegates 20 the nauUnaT uoH-
vention at Chicago. Additional inter-
est attaches to the convention from
the fact that it will be the first of the
state conventions to choose delegates.
Contested delegations will be sent
from several counties, owing to the
split between the white and colored
elements of the party. The white
wing, popularity known as the office
holding element, is in favor of in
structing the delegates TO Chicago in
favor of Taft, while the negroes have
the cause of Senator For
aker The Taft adherents appear con-
fident of winning out, though it is
evident that the convention will wit
ness a spirited contest between the
rival factions.

GERMAN MURDER STORY
Paul GiegIer Killed BY His House
keeper and Assistant, Woman
Named Minna Doell.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Berlin, Feb. 5.-More than usually
gruesome is murder story which
comes from Leipsic. Paul Giegier
was the proprietor of book shop in
the Gorchenstrasse, and with him
lived, professedly as housekeeper and
assistant, young woman named Min
ma Doell About the middle of jan
uary Giegler disappeared from view,
but his housekeeper explained this by
saying that he had gone to Italy on
business. As he did not return in
quiries became more pressing, and
the young woman then made the fatal
mistake of altering her story asAert=
ting luliaJ uItsIoI IN Vienna nos
pital.
> This change of tale aroused suspic-
ions, and when investigations in Wen
ma failed to reveal any traces of the
missing man, search at his house
was decided on. Accordingly the po-
lice went to Giegler's rooms, where
upon the Doell girl jumped from the
window and fled. Investigation show
ed that the bed, which was made, and
apparently unoccupied, contained
Giegler's body. The remains were
black, and in an advanced stage of
decomposition. There were traces
that death had been caused by suffo-
cation. 1t was evident that the girl
had cooked and slept in the same
room with the dead man for days.
She had made off with the sum of
$1,000, but was arrested at Halle. 1t
was ascertained that she had a sweet
heart, and he has also been taken in
to custody on the suspicion that he
had something to do with the crime.

death BEFORE UGL|NEsS
Baroness Won Schwitzer, Queen of
Beauty, Could Not Bear Idea
of Growing Old and Ugly.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Vienna, Feb. 5.-Having long been
a queen of beauty, Baroness Won
Schwitzer could not bear the thought
of growing old and ugly, so she com
mitted suicide. The baroness was
the daughter of a Roumanian shop
keeper, and was married at sixteen to
a wealthy Russian, Count TalieW itch,
who was captivated by her remark
able beauty. After a married life of
twenty-four years the count died, leav-
ing his widow a fortune of over five
million dollars. Still beautiful, in
spite of the lapse of years, and with
the added charm of immense wealth,
the countess had no difficulty in find
ing a second partner, and soon after
her first husbands death she was
married to an Australian nobleman,
Baron Won Schwitzer. The baroness,
who had passed her fiftieth year, and
had always been very proud Of her re-
markable beauty, recently became
very melancholy, owing to the fact
that the ravages of time were becom-
ing more and more evident. So great
ly did the loss of her beauty prey
upon her mind that some time ago she
attempted to poison herself. The eff
fort failed, but she was determined
upon self-destruction, and a few days
ago she obtained a revolver, with
which she blew out her brains. She
left letter stating that she could not
bear to survive her good looks.

TO make them concrete In the actual
purchases they make.
The need of Norfolk, as It is OF
every community, is to become thor
oughly obsessed with the importance
of every individual living here to Its
growth and success. II is the recipro-
cal expenditure of money by the resi-
dents of Norfolk upon which most
largely depends It's future. Every dol.
lar spent here helps SO much in build
ing up Norfolk. Every dollar spent
elsewhere doesn't contribute a penny's
weight to the growth of this city.
There is a very aggressive warfare
now being waged on the competition
which comes from catalogue and mail
order houses. The success OF this
crusade against the cheap and untrust-
worthy merchandise of these foreign
institutions depends in its last analy-
sis, in any given community. on the
measure Of loyalty which the people
living there have for that place.
There Is absolutely no need OF a
man, woman or child buying cents
worth OF goods outside of Norfolk.
The merchants can supply your every
need. II perchance there is some spec
ial luxury you desire not carried in the
general stock consult the merchant
you deal with and he will be only toe
glad to order it for you and do just
as well by you, IL not better, than the
dealer in Omaha, Lincoln and Chicago
This principle Of buying every thing
in Norfolk, however, as has already
| been stated must be all pervasive and
universal if it is to give the impetus
that 1t should to the city. 1t Is not
for the man who works at his trade
or who earns his salary at the Office
alone; it is not merely for the pro
fessional men and women; or for the
farmer who sells his products here
and considers it his home town. II
is for the merchants themselves as
we'll.
The home trade idea must be tror
oughly indoctrinated into the minds Of
all the people if Norfolk is to flourish
as it should. God helps those who
help themselves"-and it is the com
munity which pulls together and adds
every ones weight it can to it's owr
strength that becomes strong and pros
porous.

night And Il is pretty well accepted
that Secretary Taft will be the nom
lnee and that the national republican
platform will practically coincide with
his views as expressed In the Ohio
platform.
There are several significant feat.
ures In this Ohio platform. Revision
OF the tariff in certain out-of-propor-
ton parts by an extra session OF con-
gress, is advocated. Secretary Taft
has all along declared that he was In
favor OF revision OF the tariff In
places where conditions had rendered
revision advisable. But the protective
principle-the principle OF protection
under which the late revered Mckinley
was placed in the white house by the
laboring man OF America-is to be rig.
idly adhered to. That this country
has prospered UNNECESSARILY more than
It otherwise could, by reason OF the
protective principle, can not be ques-
toned. And that this principle OF
protection must be continued Is an
axiom upon which the republican party
can well AFFORD to stand.
AS President Roosevelt has said, II
is not strange that changing conditions
should change the needs OF the tarriff
Some industries no longer need the
tariff to proportions that 1t has been
enjoyed.
And when that revision does come
It shall be by congress and not by any
set Of laymen. Congress is paid tc

And by congress it shall be done, II
the Roosevelt-Taft platform is ad
hered to.
Caution is advised in the matter oil
currency reform. That some relie1
might be welcomed, none can deny
That the problem Is an old one anC
that no satisfactory solution has YET
been found, is further accepted. Ant
that no snap judgment will be taken
is assured by this platform.
In other respects the platform |!
thoroughly republican. 1t stands foI
integrity, for the square deal, for the
individual against socialism, for gov
eminent regulation rather than gov
eminent ownership.
1t is a platform of strength, and i
may well be set down now as late
that this will be practically the Chi
cago platform.

to the qualifications demanded by the
people. That man Is William II. Taft
He Is the logical candidate. Large
hearted, high minded, big Drained, pro
gresslye in spirit, sane in his methods,
good natured but firm, with an exper'
fence in governmental affairs so sue
cessful and wide that 1t gives him a
knowledge and grasp Of public matters
possessed by no other rival for the
nomination, the secretary of war com
mands the enthusiastic appreciation
of his countrymen to an extent that
out distances and eclipses every other
man In the race. He Is the finest pro
duct of the policies and ideas Of repub
licanism. His loyalty to the great
party whose achievements are res
plendant fit him to continue those pol
icies in practical operation. The re
publican party, progressive and clear
yisioned, is a great party. Secretary
Taft is big man in every sense. II
needs great party with great rec

SOME THINGS UNHBEDED.

There is a peculiar fascination to
almost every man and woman in the
element of uncertainty and risk. This
Is so evident that it finds indisputable
proof in a thousand ways, whenever
history is searched.
Every few years Vesuvius breaks
forth in violent eruption and the lava
pours forth and ruins homes and des
olates fertile valleys. Nevertheless
scarcely is the eruption over before
the peasants of Italy are busy plant
ing their vineyards and building their
meagre huts at the very summit OF
their cones.
San Francisco was shaken so severe
ly that it's very foundations were un'
dermined. But scarcely was the awful
tragedy over which enveloped the
city by the golden gate in cataclysm
of horror before the people were get
ting ready to build larger and better
city than had been destroyed.
Every spring time floods overflow
large sections of country. The news
papers are crowded with accounts OF
the loss of life and property resulting
from the high water. The strange
thing about it all is that these losses
are met in the same places they were
before.
This past month the waters Of the
Ohio have caused damage amounting
to thousands of dollars in Pittsburg
Cincinnati st. Louis and other cities
1t has been but repetition of what
has happened a score of times in the
past fifty years. The SHOWS which
have melted in the mountains have
during the warm weather flowed
down into the low lands and caused
much ruin and disaster. While the
flood is rising everybody is apprehen
sive and many methods are outlined
to check any similar calamity in the
future. But when the waters subsid'

the next food comes the people are
found no better prepared than before
The nation moves along business
lines until it is confronted by a panic
then there is loss Of confidence, bus
mess failures, men out of employment
It is at such a time that the countr!
Is flooded with bills and panacea'
for their prevention. But as times
improve they are pigeon holed ant
