DAYTON MURDER
LIST INCREASES
Girl Beaten To Death in Daylight
Was Looking For
Work.

Dayton, Feb. 6.-Another murder
story has been added to the long list
which already shames this city. The
body of young woman was dragged
out of cistern in the rear Of va
cant house. Her brother has fdenti.
fed her as Lizzie Fulhart, Is years
old, 81 Vandalia, Ohio She had al,
ways borne a spotless reputation. She
came to this city on Tuesday, Jan. 20,
to look for employment and was stay
ing with her aunt, Mrs. Samuel Deet-
ers.
The discovery was Inade by Charles
o. Weaver. contractor, who was en-
ployed by the, owner OF the Matthews
residence on North Jefferson street.
to prepare the residence for occu-
pancy. While examining the cistern,
which is located about FIVE feet from
the back door OF the house, Weaver
noticed what appeared to be bundle
or clothing floating on the water.
which was only two feet below the
surface Of the ground. With garden
hoe he attempted to lift the bundle
and uncovered the girls feet, when
he hurried to a telephone and called
the police.
The body was badly decomposed
and the features are almost unrecog-
nizable. The face shows bruises, and
other evidences of violence are plain
ly visible. A burlap bag enshrouded
the upper portion Of the body. The
steel cover of the cistern is about 10
inches in diameter and was fitted
closely over the opening.
Adam Fulhart. brother of the dead
girl, is confident she had no acquaint-
ances in the city, and is unable to ad-
vance any theory that would throw
light upon his sisters terrible fate.
The girl left her aunt's. home In the
morning in her search for work and
was expected to return at noon and
the fact that she failed to do so indi-
Gated that the crime must have been
committed in. broad daylight, the girl
having been enticed into the vacant
house and there murdered. If this
murder occurred on the 10Th of jan
uary it followed that of Mary Forsch-
ner only about week and the police
now fear that both crimes were the
work of the same man
Albert Wilkie, employed at the Da-
Wis Sewing Machine factory, was ar
the sweetheart of the girl, but says
he has not seen her since She came to
the city on January 30.

the exposures that will follow my

to live In Kentucky it must rid itself
OF the men who have helped to de-

Commissioners, headed by Eli Brown

employ the convict labor in the
Frankfort penitentiary, and that they
are permitting this brutal and grind

Inmates in that prison impossible

CHAPTER XIV.
A Little Surprise for Mr.. Barnes.

The American springs up the steps
into the house again. and rapidly as
cending the stairway to the second
floor sees a very faint CLEAN of light
shining under the doorway of the great
guest chamber in the front Of the old
Corsican mansion.
He knocks almost reverently and a
faint, sweet voice answers timidly:
Come in"
His heart lighted by hope and love,
his whole form trembling with anx-
iety to take his bride within his arms,
the thought that she Is his and safe
making his flashing eyes very tender,
the eager bridegroom opens the door
Reclining on a lounge In white
robe her head bashfully turned from
him, the long. beautiful almost dis
heveled hair streaming over her shout
ders, is his rescued bride.
She is in a nook of the big room well
from the faint candle light.
He passes an arm about her slender
waist and kisses her passionately Her
lips respond as sweetly and olinglngly
as ever did those of young bride.
But even in the midst of the ,ss,
Barnes starts back with a sharp,
amazed cry of almost horror: My
God, Sally Blackwood!'
And the lady turning to him so that
the candle light shines upon her radl-
ant features that are almost laughing,

STYLES IN BELTS
This SumDeF TbeyWill
BE Adapted TO Cos
tums With Which
They Are Worn.

With the spring the mind OF girl
hood turns to belts and ties. No mat
ter how great is the vogue for one
piece frocks, with pleasant weather
the shirtwaist and duck skirt regains
its own, and a belt is needed.
The summer girls wardrobe will not
be finished If she does not possess at
least one embroidered belt whose col
or can be matched in ties and stock
ings, possibly in hatband and para.
SOL To buy such belts costs so much
that the forehanded girl will make her
own.
Every sort of embroidery Is in favor
from buck darning 10 the old time
favorite eyelet work and satin stitch
for service in washing. Heavy linen
Is used for many of the belts either
In white or colors.
White ones are generally kept white
throughout, using a white leather OF
white enamel buckle.
Colored linens are worked some
times in white mercerized cottons,
again in several tones of the linen.
Thus belt to be worn with a gray
linen suit has a conventional design
in several tones of darker gray light
ened with touches of silver thread.
Where belt is to see much service
1t is as well to omit this touch of sill
yer, as though 1t is supposed to re-
main, 1t will not stand the wash tub
and constant exposure of air.
For more elaborate wear there are
fascinating belts worked on MORE or
corded betting or on heavy satin rib
bon stiffened with buckram. Quite a
feature of this work is a jeweed eff
feet in colors.
One good-looking belt on pale blue
MORE betting has continuous flower
design, somewhat conventionalized
The large flowers are worked with an
outline Of French knots in several
rows. and the center of each flower
is formed of smart blue Jewels.
Another smart-looking belt on gray
satin has a design of scrolls and disks
worked in two aolors of steel beads
picked out with blue jewels. Still
third belt is worked on tan-colored
betting, with brown and white daisies.
The centers of the white flowers are
studded with yellow jewels, while the
brown daisies have red jeweled hearts.
These jeweled beads for fancy work
can be found in any art needlework
store in all colors and sizes.
A smart belt to be worn with dark
blue tailored suit is of dark blue cord
ed betting stamped in bold design
of chrysanthemums, heavily padded
and worked in satin stitch in old blue,
Chinese green, and dull coppery red.
A belt that would go well with the
ever-popular white serge suit is of
heavy white corded silk. worked in a
conventional pattern of many petaled
flowers. This could be done either on
Wallachian embroidery or in the new
err simplex stitch
A girl who has taken up hammered
brass work, has made herself fascin.
ating belt of narrow cut brass with
an open dashing pattern. This is made
from such thin sheets as to be pliable,
and Is worn over different colored rib
bons which shine through the design.
Belts of raffia will also be worn
again and are seen in charming new
colors. The simpler the weave OF
