IS A TERRIBLE CRIME
DIR. CLEMINSON'S CONFESSION RE-
VEALS AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Several Other Persons Besides Prisoner
Are Implicated in Death of
Doctors Wife.

CHICAGO, H., June 2.-NIystery sur
rounding the death of Mrs Nora Jane
Cleminson was brought nearer solution
today. it is believed, when Capt. of Po-
lice Kane announced that he would ex-
anime a woman and man believed to be
able to give information concerning the
domestic relations of DR.. Cleminson and
wife. According to Capt. Kane, Dr.
Cleminson said that Mrs. Cleminson had
tried to commit suicide two weeks ago
by taking chloroform. The physician
declared that he had found an empty
chloroform bottle and had asked her
about it. She denied having used any
of the poison and at the time was be-
ieved by the physician. When he found
her dead Sunday he decided, he said, to
tell the burglar story because he did not
think any post norton would be held
and that his story would be believed
Police Capt. Kane declared that he
had received from DIR. Cleminson sensa-
tiOnal disclosures.
IF what the doctor told me proves
true several others besidesa the prisoner
are implicated in the death of Mrs. Glenn
iDson," said Capt. Kane. According to
Cleminson's story" the police official CON
tinued, the crime which brought this
young woman to her grave is one of the
worst in the history of Chicago"

The opening number of the act of the

After the evenings performance Mrs.
AnniS was asked why they had selected
the piece as the opening number and
said:
THAT was my selection. 1t was the
favorite piece of my hsuband.
Il believed that if | would be able to
get through with any music on the stage

Senate Will Soon Extend It's Daily Meet
ings for Consideration of
Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 1.-Ap-
parently the Senate is upon the eve of
night sessions for the consideration of
the tariff bill. Senator Aldrich, chair
man of the committee on finance, indicat-
ed in an official way today an intention
of asking for such sessions by present
ing a resolution providing, that begin
ming Tuesday, the daily sessions begin
at 1870 a. m. and continue until II
p. M, with intermission of two and a
half hours. from $50 to s p. NJ
Senator Culberson, the Democratic
caucus leader, prevented immediate con-
sideration of the resolution by making
an objection, which had the effect of
forcing the resolution over until tomor-
row. Mr.. Aldrich, however, gave notice
that he would move a recess at $50
today until 1870 a. NJ, tomorrow with
the intention of then asking for night
sessions and the carrying out thereafter
of the programme as indicated in his
resolution.
There is no doubt that the Republican
majority, including the progressives, will
support him.

RATS ARE EXPENSIVE.
Costs American People $1o0,OoO,OoO
Yearly in Grain Alone to Feed This
Common Pest.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 31.-It
costs the American people $100,000,O00
yearly in grain alone to feed the rat.
This is only one of many interesting
facts CLEANED from statement prepared
by the experts of the biological survey
of the department of agriculture entitled
''The Rat Problem" and issued today.
Untold millions are destroyed every
year by the rat, which is also the prin-
cipal agent in the dissemination of bu-
bonic plague. The pests bill of fare
includes almost everything eaten by man,
and a considerable numbebr of things
not included in human dietaries, as, for
instance, carrion, mice, kid gloves, ivory,
and living horses hoofs It's most COM
mon food is grain. If fed on grain alone
it is estimated that one rat will eat 60
cents worth year, while of oatmeal il
will consume $3.50 worth.
The rapidity with which rats multiply
is the main reason why man appears 10
make so little Roadway in their destruc-
ton. 1t is calculated that a single pair
of rats and their progeny, breeding
without interruption and suffering no
losses, would in three years increase to
more than 2000O,000.

PIover as a Farmers Ally,

Of all our birds the plover is abso.
lutely the most useful on the land,
and we have the authority of the
board of agriculture for saying that
the multiplication Of insects injuri-
Gus to crops" is the direct consequence
of the fashion for plovers' eggs, the
London Daily Mail says.
The bird destroys snai1s, wireworms,
beetles and all sorts of noxious insects
that damage crops. AS it feeds large
ly at night it destroys many insects
that other birds do not touch, and it
has also a peculiar virtue in killing a
water snail which indirectly Is the
cause of liver rot, deadly disease in
sheep.
Plover have been more than usually
numerous this year, and no doubt if
their eggs were protected, as in Scot
land, they would multiply yet more
and save many thousands Of pounds
that are now spent on the fattening of
the wireworm. 1t is becoming also a.
more popular practice to keep plovers
as a garden pet. They do incalculable
good and are very interesting to watch.
especially at this season.
