WHEELING. Aug. CA murder oc-
Cured about three miles south OF Dial.

o'clock last evening. when Randolph
Richly. aged about 35 years was shot
and killed by his uncle. John Sickles.
aged about G5 years.
According to the story told by
Sick!es to n farmer living near the
scene OF the murder. Sickles had been
away during the afternoon and re.
turned home for supper shortly after
6 o'clock. AS lie entered the doc. he
heard his sixteen-ycar-oll daughter
screaming and when he hurried TO. n
room off the parlor he wound Richly In
the act of attempting to crimtnnlly as
sanlt the girl. Sicklcs at once grab.

engaged in n desperate fight. SicKlcy
tho while cndenvorins to force the III.
trnder from the house. until finally
Richly got the better Of Sickles and
threw him to the floor. Thinking that
was the end of it. RIc.ly then walked
out into the front yard and out OF tho
gate into the road Elc was about Is
feet from the gate when SIckles recov-
cred himself and secured his m1sket.
He walked to the front door and iak-
ing deliberate aim fred ut Richly, a
charge OF bucksllot entering his back
between the shoulders. some OF the
scattering shot going into the back of
ilis head. Richly fell onto mis- face at
the side of the road. and Sickles and
his daughter and ono small son re-
lnained III the mouse until some OF the
neighbors called on him.
Sent Word to Ncighbor-
After the shooting slckles sent his
small boy and another boy about the
same age 10 the home OF Samuel
Fischer. farmer living Il short dis.
tnnce from The scene OF the shooting.
to tell him that Iaicny was dead.
There was no statement. SO far as
known. us to how Richly met his
death. and consequently Fischer did
not Investigate at that time.
Richly Is resident of Violn and
was on his way home on foot when .le
called at the Sickles home. Mrs.
Sickles died some time ago. and the
only person in tho house was the
daughter in question. Richly. it an-
pears. took advantage OF the oppor..
tunity. and It cost him his life. Richly
was married man and lcnves a wife
and five children. Neither of the men
are very prominent in the community.
Shortly after the shooting Corcner
McCUnbs. or Marshall county. was
notified and ho Immediately proceeded
to the scene. arriving there late In
the night. 1t is hardly believed that
Sickles was arrested. as when neigh
hors called upon him he was cool and
calm and stated that he believed he

CARE OF UTENSILS
PRACTICAL TALK ON ECONOMY
IN KITCHEN.
Pots and Pans Must Be Looked After
if You Would Have Them Last
and Do Good Service

The object of this brief talk is to
tell our housemothers how to keep
pots and, kettles. griddles and pans, in
working order, and how to make them
last a reasonable time.
To begin with, get good ware. The
clumsy iron vessels that gathered
CRIME and SCOT over the fires kept up
by our granddames have been pushed
aside by lighter and cleaner utensils
of various sorts. Coppers-that must
be as bright outside as they were
Within and gathered unto themselves
murderous verdigris. if not cleaned be
fore each using with salt and scalding
vinegar-were banished, and righteous

porcelain, granite, agate iron and
nickel steel plated wares that neither
rust nor green-mold. These wares
are as easily kept clean as stone china,
and. If less durable than iron and
copper that descended from mother to
daughter, and even down to the third
generation. last reasonably well when
properly handled.
Pots. kettles and the like should be
set upon the range-not thumped and
banged. nicked cooking utensil is
disgrace to the handler thereof.
Cracks and scaling off are still
oftener the result of sudden overhead
ing and of allowing an empty vessel
to stand over the fire. The tea kettle
boils dry the soup seethes and sim
mers until bones and meat stick to the
bottom of the pot To complete the
wreck the ignorant or Indifferent cook

cold water faucet upon the heated

the semi-yearly necessity of replen-
ishing kitchen tools.
Never put away vessel which is
not both clean and dry. Wash with
hot water. good soap and household
ammonia Use mop and soap shaker,
justice to bottoms. seams and sides of
pot and pan. Rinse off the suds wipe
and set, upside down, upon the range
for 30 seconds to make assurance
doubly sure.

Washington, April 15.-Although
the public scarcely hears the echo OF
it, momentous struggle for mas
terry is now being waged here in the
national capital, the outcome of
which is of nationwide Importance.
whether President Taft's recon-
mendations TO congress relative to
tariff revision are to be superior or
inferior to those of the protected in
terests represented by the Cannon
Aldrich-Dalzell oligarchy, is the big
issue that is being fought out.
who will be victorious, Taft or
the old regime?r is the question be-
ing asked by the politicians who
play little importance in the work of
determining big questions in which
the interests of the corporations and
public conflict. Time alone Will
answer their query with positiveness.
There is no reason for believing,
however. that the regular organiza-
tion will not have its way, or that it
will not continue to dominate the
making of national legislation as it
has throughout the last three repub-
lican administrations.
President Taft is Il much-chagrined
man He has been flagrantly de-
ceived. Speaker Cannon, Dalzell and
Aldrich, in order to secure the presi-
dents aid for the retention of Can
non and the old rules, promised him
faithfully that the Payne committee
would report bill that would hon
estly revise the tariff downward.
They declared that If the president
would not use his influence against
the rules the tariff bill would con-
form rigidly to the promises he made
the country in his inaugural address,
reduction of rates" and advance
ment of few. IF ANY"

Taft Just preceding March 10. lis
tariff revision. If you will help us
retain the present speaker and rules
you can have the very kind of a
tariff rev ision bill you described in
public speeches.
The Cannon clique apparently
cared nothing for its promises. Sub
sequent events showed it was not in
good faith. \ bill was reported that
could not have been more generous
to the special interests if it had been
drawn up in their offices. The Payne
bill, to President Tafts astonishment.
was not revision downward in any
sense of the word. the schedules av-
eraging 1.56 higher than the Dlngley
bill schedules.
The Payne bill was formed wholly
al the command of the ring repre-
senting the special interests. The
average member of congress. repub-
lican or democrat had no voice
whatever in the making of the bill.
President Taft's plea for revision
downward might we'll have been made
to a Billiken. The special interests
ordered the bill should advance. not
decrease, the rates on certain com
modities. Such q bill was reported.
That is why there is in progress in
Washington an important struggle
for supremacy. President Taft now
fully realizes what he is up against.
But, instead of making his fight in
the newspapers, as Roosevelt was ac-
customed TO do, he is making it Sc

cretly through the medium OF fre-
quent conferences with Messrs. Can
non, Payne. Aldrich and Dalzell.
There is no open rupture between
Taft and the house leaders. 1t isn't
that kind of fight The president
could gain nothing by breaking on
negotiations with the clique which
has charge of things, even If he felt
in the mood to do so. The struggle
lis one of persuasion or pleading The
president is trying to induce these
men. before whom he must humbly
how if he wishes legislative favors,
to give the country the kind of tar
iff revision that will appease public
opinion and save the party from the
humiliation of a sweeping defeat at
the polls next year. He realizes as
much as any democrat that the Payne
bin makes a speciality of raising the
duty ON articles that must be pur-
chased principally by the poor. and
that 1t is the very kind of tariff re-
vision the American people are in
no temper to submit to. What is
more. the Payne bill isn't the kind of
bill the public were led to expect
it would receive.
President Taft is pleading earnest
ly with the Wall Street machine to
be allowed to redeem the pledge that
he and his party made to the country
in last years campaign.
President Taft is practically help
less. His influence on national leg
islation is not nearly SO great as the
big monopolies, which contribute so
heavily to campaign expenses, main
tain their own political organiza-
tions and send to congress men who
~
president Roosevelt was unable to get
hardly any of the legislation he de-
sired, even when public opinion sup
ported him. The republican major
ity which rules the house is dominat-
ed body and soul by the Cannon
clique.
Therefore. President Taft, work
how he will, will not be able to get

ward. The protected interests are
against the measure and il cannot
be.
There is one thing the president
can do; but when the time comes
he probably will not do it. He may
veto Wall Streets tariff bill. That
would disrupt the party into two
wings. develop a war within the
ranks between the progressives and
conservatives. This would be dan
gerous. indeed. with the congression-
al elections of 1910 fast approach
ing.
When the tariff bill is about ready
to become law the patience of the
public will have been tried to the
extreme.
Pass the tariff bill without fur
ther parley" will be the cry that will
go up from the big manufacturers
who have been provided for in the
Payne bill. Business is stagnated.
We are losing money. Give us your
bill as IL is, so business can again
become settled"
Confronted with this situation. the
new president will. in all likelihood.
sign any kind of tariff bill that is
presented to him.
