wounded her 17-year-old daughter.

shots. The bullet struck him above

Clara and her sister, Mrs. Mamie

sat talking on the front porch half an
hour, when their escorts left and the
young women entered the house
There were no lights inside and had
been none on the porch. Neither girl
knew Howard, maddened by jealousy,
had been hiding in a corner listening
to the conversation.
Mrs. Barringer went into the kitch-
en-. leaving her sister standing in the
dark room. A moment later Mrs.
Barringer heard a scream and two
shots in quick succession. She rushed
back into the dining room. She could
see nothing in the dark, but a low
moan came from the floor. The trem-
bling girl struck a light and at her
feet saw the body of her sister. A few
feet away lay the body of a man with

Judging from the way it started off
today, there is no lack of enthusiasm
because the Fourth of July came on
the Fifth. Conditions generally are
peaceable. but Notwithstanding po-
lice restrictions in regard to the size of
firecrackers the ardent small boy slips
an occasional real "dinger'' across the
plate. and then window sashes rattle.
OF course, the anti-cannon cracker
ordinance is a frost, and will be so long
as dealers are permitted to sell the big
ones. There is no ordinance against
selling them, and few policemen are
expected to prevent them being fired

A gOodly schedule of Fourth of July
entertainment has been prepared for
the day. The principal entertainments
will be at VinewoOd Park, where d lot
of money will go up in smoke and
noise tonight, and at the fair grounds
this afternoon where nearly a hundred
contestants will enter into bicycle and
motorcycle races. under the auspices of
the Topeka Bicycle Dealers associa-

Old fashioned stunts such as foot races
and jumping matches will have a place
on the programme, but there will be no

Odds Are Two to One on the
Champion.
MUCH MONEY is UP.
Great Interest Is Aroused on
the Coast.
Bout Is Scheduled to Go Twenty
Rounds.

San Francisco, Cal, July 5.-Two
more confident men never entered a
ring than Stanley Ketchel, champion
middleweight of the world and Billy
Papke. challenger for the title when
they stripped for their 20 round bat
tie in COfrrOth's Mission street arena
this afternoon. Although the odds re-
mained to 1 against him, Papbe was
supremely confident of his ability to
knock out the champion and he
would not admit that there was a
chance for him to lose. He only did
sufficient work yesterday to justify
rub down, but Ketchel worked as
hard if not harder than on any day
of his training.
The betting continued at to /.
with the champion on the long end
and at those odds money to wager on
result was plentiful. The Los Angeles
contingent brought in a flood OF Pap
Ike money and the east also sent in its
quota to be placed on the keWanee
fighter.
No fight since the Burns-Squires
battle and the last two contests be-
tween Joe Cans and Battling Nelson
has attracted so much attention here
and the arena was filled with a record
breaking crowd. a large part of which
came from outside points.

When Confronted With Mass of
Evidence Guist Confessed.

Newton, Kan, July 5.-The facts con-
cerning the confession of c. NJ. Guist foI
the murder of his uncle. c. B. Guist of
Wichita, at the farm of the latter near
Burton, have been given out.
Overcome by remorse and weeping
c. NJ. Guist. the nephew of the muir
dered man confessed to the county at
torney of Harvey county and the clerk
Of the Harvey county district court
that he committed the murder.
Detailed Story of the Crime.
Gleason B. Guist, about 65 years old
In substance c. NJ. Guist told the au-
thorities the following story of his
crime:
this city Monday at noon to go to his
farm five miles southeast of Burton.
He took a Frisco train and reached
Burton late in the afternoon
Leaving Burton the elder Guist
walked to his farm. which his nephew,
C. NJ. Guist, was farming on the shares.
He reached the farm after sundown
and walked about the yard until G.. NJ.
Guist and his 1O-year-old son came home
from Mr.. Hanson'S, where they had
been helping him with the harvest.
Murders Son Was Innocent.
The boy went to bed at once and his
father worked at the chores a half hour
or more. The elder Guist, in the mean
time, had visited the wheat field on his
farm and found that nothing had been
done toward cutting the wheat. He
returned to the house and made his
presence known about the time his
nephew had finished the chores
The two men went into the kitch-
en- and a quarrel followed shortly. The
elder Guist cursed his nephew and
Hanson, the man the younger GuiSt
and his son had been working for.
He was angry because the wheat on
his farm had been neglected. The
aged mans language became more
and more heated and his epithets
more vile.
Fired Fatal Shot as Old Man Ran.
c. NJ. Guist grabbed his loaded shot
gun and the aged man fed from the
house. As he ran toward the door
after the fleeing man, Guist leveled
the gun and fired through the screen
door. When he went into the yard
he found his uncle dead about fifteen
feet from the doorstep. The charge
of number one shot had torn off a
large section of the skull.
The young son of the murderer was
not awakened by the shot from the
gun Guist extracted the empty cart

WOOD PULP TRADE.
\ Remarkable Growth in the Industry
Is Recorded.

Washington. July 5-That the growth of
the pulD wood industry in the United
States has been remarkable and that the
use of pulp wood promises to become even
larger is brought out by a review of the
pulp wood consumption during 1905 just
issued by the census bureau While there
was q temporary check in the production
Of pulp wood in the United States during
1908. due to depression in business there
was a greater decrease in the United
States of imported pulp than in the do
meStic wood.
Sixty-four per cent of all the wood used
for pulp is spruce, with hemlock. poplar,
pine, balsam and cottonwood making up
the balance of the production. With the
increased price of spruce, hemlock is
being resorted to largely by the manufac-
turers as the chief substitute. All pulp
wood imported since 1900 comes from Can
ada duty free. Nearly 81 per cent of the
wood pulp imported also comes from Can
ada. the balance coming mainly from Ger
many. Sweden and Norway. The United
States exported in 1905 only 1923 tons
of wood pulp or about one-fifth of the
amount imported.
