W|FE'S MURDER
FRANK THOMPSON OF WAvERLY
KILLS BRIDE OF A YEAR BE-
CAUSE SHE LEFT HIM.

Waterloo, Feb. 12.-(SpeciaD- Be-
cause his wife left him after one
years marriage, Frank Thompson last
night shot and killed his girl wife at
Waverly and then turned the smoking
revolver upon himself, falling lifeless
near his wifes body. He concealed
himself behind tree near the house
where his wife was staying and fired
on her when she stepped to the door.
One shot penetrated her chest and
she cried out as she fell to the porch.
Thompson advanced and shot her a
second time through the head, killing
her instantly She was nineteen years
old and a beautiful girl. She said she
was ill-treated after marriage.
A year ago Thompson married his
wife, who was Edith Homan, and
took her to Colorado. There he en-
deavored to have her lead life OF
shame, it is alleged. She rebelled, and
aided by her relatives was taken away
from Thompson. She went back tc
Waverly recently, and Thompson fol
lowed. He had been trying to obtain
an interview with the girl last night
Thompson had a bottle Of carbolic
acid in his pocket. He was "a years

|. lodge: SHOWS
HOW lincoln
WAS ABUSED
SENATOR TELLS MAsSACHU-
sETTs LEGISLATOR THAT
WHEN PRESIDENT GREAT CRIT.
icIsM WAS HEAPED UPON HIM.

Boston, Mass, Feb. r. = The life
and work Of Abraham Lincoln were
the subjects of an address by Senator
Lodge before the Massachusetts legis-
lature today. Reviewing the early
vicssitudes of the great emancipation,
and speaking of his splendid qualities
of mind he spoke at length upon the
criticism and abuse that was hurled
at Lincoln during the trying days OF
the civil war.
IL wish" he said merely to detach
Lincoln from the myth which has pos
session of us all, that his wisdom, his
purity and his greatness were as OBJ
vious and acknowledged, or ought to
have been as obvious and aclknowl-
edged in his lifetime as they are to-
day"
Washington, he declared, had pre-
viously met the same fate, being
roundly denounced when he retired
from the presidency.
Lincoln, wishing to save the union,
regardless of the result Of such ac-
tion on slavery, was bitterly criticised
by the anti-slavery men, while he was
abused by the opposition as a radical
and "Black Republican" To these
critics Lincoln replied in moderate
language. Referring to these exper-
fences of Lincoln, Mr.. Lodge said
'"They teach us that great execu-
tive officer, dealing with the most
momentous problems, cannot do ev.
erything at once, that he must sub
ordinate the lesser to the greater If
he would not fail entirely.
Is 1t not well for US, before passing
hasty judgment and indulging in
quick condemnation, to reflect that
the man charged with great public
duties may have knowledge Of condi
tions and possess sources Of informa
ton which are not known to the
world or even to those who criti
| else"

Des Moines, Feb. 12-(SpeciaD
The following officers will be
elected to the Iowa Retail Hard
ware association this afternoon:
President, l.. G. Abbott of Mar
shalltown
Vice president-E. C. Barbour
of Fort Madison.
secretary-E. R. Sale of Mason
City.
Des Moines, Feb. 12-Yesterday
was parcels post day at the Retail
Hardware Dealers association con.
vention: All of the speakers said more
or less uncomplimentary things about
Postmaster General Meyers pei
scheme, and they were unanimous in
their statements that the proposed leg
islation will, if 1t is enacted, work
havoc with the retail dealers general
ly.
Charles W. Burrows of Cleveland
o., an authority on parcels post and
an enthusiastic opposer of the plan
said that President Roosevelt was
misguided" in his alleged support OF
the bill. Mr.. Burrows is of the opin
ion that the large mail order houses
will be the only ones who will profit
by the parcels post law. Lowering the
postal rates will enable them to gel
their catalogues, many of which ars
heavier than the postal department
will allow to be carried through the
mails, to every part of the country
and that the small country merchant
will suffer irreparable loss thereby
"The development of the parcels
post" said Mr.. Burrows, would inev
itably deal serious blow to the bust
ness of the small country merchant ir
all lines, and to the department stores
In the great cities, blow so crushing
as to force many of them out of ex
istence. The enactment would permit
a few mail order houses to contro
the retail business Of the entire coun
try, the expense of distributing NOR
chandise sold by these people beins
paid fro in large part by indirec
public taxation
