Beaten
to Death
Woman, Son, Trapper and
Hired Man Slain at
Martin City, Mo.

Olathe, kan. Dec. 10.-The dead
bodies OF four persons, one of the
the number an aged woman, all
apparently beaten to death by
blows from a bludgeon, were found
today at the Bernhard farm, three
miles northwest of Martin City
and just over the line in Kansas.
The dead are: Mrs. Emeline Bern
hard, IS years old her son George
40 years old, a trapper named Nor
gan and a hired man named
Worth.
Neighbors alarmed by the con-
tinued absence of life about the
Bernhard premises, notified the
county authorities. An investiga-
ton led the searchers irto the
house, where a clotted trail of
blosd pointed the way up a flight
Of stairs and to a closet. Here
It was the body of Mrs. Bernhard
repbsed, her head battered TO an
almost unrecognizable mass.
It. was several hours later be-
fore evidence OF the slain womans
tortuous path from the barn di-
rected a search of the outbuild-
ings.
The bodies of the three men were
found hidden beneath hay in the
stable. The trio met death in pre-
cisely the same manner as Mrs.
Bernhard. The skulls of each was
crushed and there was evidence of
a hand-to-hand battle.
From the condition in which Mrs
Bernhard's body was lying it is
believed by the officers that she
was in the barn at the time Of the
assault, and after being beaten
about the head, ran to the house
and going upstairs, hid in a closet
where she died.
Sheriff j. s. Speed of johnson
County, Kan, is hunting a former
hired hand with whom the owners
are known to have had trouble
over money.
Mrs. Bernhard is said to have
been wealthy and, according to her
neighbors, had often had trouble
with men who worked for her
because of quarrels over money.
County Attorney C. B. Little of
Johnson County. Kansas and Cor
oner D. E. Bronson accompanied

Freedom for c. M. Smith

Leavenworth Kan. December 9.
&C. M. Smith, a wealthy landown-
er from Sikeston, Mo will be re-
leased from the Federal Prison
here tomorrow morning having
completed a sentence for violating
the federal peonage laws.
Smith was convicted with six
other men Of the crime at Cape
Girardeau, Nc, in 1906. He is the
last Of the seven to be released.
The cases aroused interest
throughout the country and it was
two years from the time the men
were first placed on trial before
they were received at the Prison.
When Smith and the others left
Sikeston for st. Louis before COM
ing here, April 1, 1908, a brass band
and 200 townspeople marched to
the depot with them.
While at the prison Smith was
employed as a gateman at the
south entrance to the yard. He
had a good record and received
the usual "good time" reduction
from his sentence.
Mrs. Smith arrived in Leaven-
worth tonight to meet her hus-
band in the morning. They will at
once leave for Excelsior Springs,
Mo. to visit friends before going
to Sikeston.

They Spend Practically tho Whole of
Their Lives In Beds.
Just like confirmed invalids, oysters
spend their lives in beds. The prin-
cipal parts of an oyster are salt water
and a handsome stomach.
Every oyster has a mother-of-pearf
lined overcoat with the moss on the
outside. But a Waldorf Astoria VS.
ter gathers no moss.
Oysters, as a rule, keep their mouths
shut. but when they have been I'm o
ciety too long they begin TO cape
They are fond of playing games. one
of their tavorites being ring-aroundr
a-rosy. In this game they join shells
in a circle on n plate. They live in the
ocean in summer and during the win
ter months frequent the principal ho-
tells and restaurants. where they have
reserved seats on cakes Of Ice spe-
cially prepared for them. They are
rarely met with at huskings or church
fairs.

ture, Il bivalve by profession and an

Oysters vary in size according to-
their circumstances and their bringing

others. There is no particular rule
about this. But IL at first you don't
succeed. try, try again.

COTTON MARKET STRONGER.
VARIOUS FACTORS HAVE GIVEN
PRICES BETTER TONE.
Light Receipts and More Spot Buying
Have Added Strength to the Mar
ket and Bulls Predict Another Rise
Large Acreage This Year Expect
ed,

New York, Jan. 2S.-:It has been q
narrower and at the same time an ir-
regular market. The liquidation Of
Liverpool straddles by purchases here
and some buying by large spot in
terests have caused a somewhat
stronger tone on the whole as re-
CARDS the near deliveries like March
and May They have also been sus-
tanned more or less by covering Of
shorts and some buying for at least a
temporary rally by various commits
sion houses. Besides there has been
some purchasing Of spot cotton here
for shipment to the South. Futures
had fallen to a point far below
spots"
Also the receipts at the ports and
interior towns have been light. In
some Of the Atlantic States a better
demand for the actual cotton is re-
ported, and there would have been
more business but for the firmness
OF holders. Liverpools daily spot
sales have been as high as $4,000
bales. Manchester's trade is said to
be better. Spinners have again been
buying futures here to some extent.
Bulls maintain that after the recent
drastic liquidation the market is in
much better shape from a technical
viewpoint and with the yield, as they
think not over 10,250, 900 bales and a
prospective consumption of 1885,
600 bales, the intrinsic merits of cot
ton are as great as ever and must in
the end assert themselves.
Everybody believes that an enor-
nous acreage will be planted for the
next crop, and unless the plant gets
serious setback that the next yield
will exceed anything in the history Of
cotton culture.
The spot markets at the South have
as rule been reported quiet. Spin
ners may buy futures, but they ap-
pear to stick to the policy of buying
the actual cotton very sparingly. II
large spot interests have bought the
near months they have sold the dis
stant one. Liquidation by Wall street,
and the South has still been notice.
