Hunt for Man Accused of Fourteen
Murders.

Ellsworth, Kas., Oct. 1S.-That
Charles Marzyek, ex-convict, sought
by the county authorities in connec-
ton with the murder of five men,
bers of the William Snowman family
here Sunday night, had been in Colo
srado Springs, where the six mem
.bers Of the Wayne and Burnham fam
lilies were slain, and was acquaint-
ed in Monmouth, ILL.,, where three
we're murdered recently, was the
startling declaration made to the au-
thorities by Mrs. Minnie Vopat,
Marzyek's divorced wife. All these
fourteen victims were killed with an
axe.
Posse Begins Man Hunt.
Samuel Snowman, brother Of Will
liam Snowman, head Of the murder
cd family, to-day started at the head
of posse to search the county.
Marzyek is believed to be hidden
in the neighborhood. If he is found
battle is expected. Marzyek not
long ago served a term for stealing
grain from James Vopat.
All the members of the Slav COM
munity who had any connection with
the conviction of Marzyek went armed
to-day, for he is reported to have
sworn vengeance on those respon-
sible for his Imprisonment.
Swore Vengeance.
Ira Lloyd, the attorney, who de-
Tended Marzyek in the wheat steal
ing case, said to-day:
II believe Marzyek will remain in
the neighborhood until he has COM
pleted his vengeance. After his SEN
tence he told me that when he was
released he would come back and
kill the people who were responsible
for his conviction and also their chill
dren. L will put them all in hell
he said.'
Evidence furnished by Mr.. and
Mrs. William Snowman is said to be
responsible for Marzyek's conviction.
Nine Live in Fear.
Nine persons remain here who FEAR
his vengeance. These persons, all OF
whom are Slavs, his own race, are:
James vopat, Mrs. Minnie Vopat,
who obtained a divorce from MARI
yek after his sentence and married
Vopat nine months later; their two
children, one ten months old, the
other three years; John Katke, faith
or OF the murdered Mrs. Snowman,
who testified against Marzyek; Mrs.
John Katke and three children,
Emile aged II; Annie, aged IL;
Mary, aged 20.
As to a possible connection be-
tween the Ellsworth and other TRACE
dies, Mrs. Vopat says her former
husband was convicted of forgery in
Colorado Springs a few months ago.
She said that it was not improbable
that he had been in Monmouth lately.
Cruel Methods Employed.
The insane cruelty on the part OF
the slayer is evident in the Wayne
and Burnham tragedies, at Colorado
Springs; in the murder of William E.
Dawson, his wife and daughter, in
Monmouth, and in the killing OF the
Showmans.
Marzyek served in the Philippine
war and after his return to this coun-
try deserted from the army. He had
been in trouble since, for forging
checks and stealing. Until he went
tosthe penitentiary he was constant
fugitive.

AMERICANS EARN
and Spend MORE
ENGLISH INVESTIGATOR SAYS
YANKEE WoRKINGMAN is
NO BETTER OFF THAN
BRITISH BROTHER.

New York, Aug. 29.-George Gear
ing Hiatt, who has been in this coun-
try eighteen months studying indus
trial conditions in behalf of the tar
iff reform party in England, declared
today that the American workman's
wages are three times higher than
those of his British brother. At the
END of the week, however, he says the
American hasn't cent more in his
pocket than the British workman
AT tie two last elections in Eng
land the tories were badly beaten.
largely because their speakers were
unable to answer the questions about
better conditions prevailing in Amer
lea. II was to gather ammunition for
the next campaign that Mr.. Gearing
Hiatt was sent to this country, and
he says he has chest full of war
material for his party.
American Lives Fuller Life.
1T would seem the American work.
man should have much more left at
the end of the week than the worker
in the British isles" said he today,
but the fact is he spends more. He
wants to go to shows, his wife and
daughters want fine clothes and his
children generally are not denied
things. The American lives q much
fuller life, though whether this is good
IN every case is a question.
Beer here is very dear. The Eng
fish pint which costs 4 or cents. has
about four American size glasses in it.
Besides, the British workman looks
well into the glass and If there's any
froth on it somebody gets a black
look.
THE American spends more on
food. / think he needs more. 1t seems
to me the food here is not so nutri-
tious, due, / believe, to cold storage.
Women and Children Extravaaant.
Much more money is spent by wo
men and children here on finery,
which is often of very short life. An
American girl will wear plume cost
ing SIS to S25, more than an English
girl earns in a month. When an Eng
fish girl wants to treat herself she'll
buy yard of new ribbon and trim
afresh the sailor hat she wears the
year around.
Children have much more money
to spend. The workmans child in
England gets half-penny at the end
OF the week or a penny If there are
not many in the family, but the Amer
lean child is wanting ice-cream sodas
and to see moving picture shows at a
nickel time all the WHILE"

THE EMERGENCY RATE.

The supreme court in the decision on
the case of the city of Manitowoc a.
gainst the street car company held the
the railroad commission had power to
fix the rates of public utility corpora
tions. The court held that the power
to amend or repeal any franchise grant
ed under authority of the state is re-
served to the state 10y the constitution,
and that the legislature having confer
red upon the commission the authority
TO regulate rates, franchise agreements
must give way to the commissions as
sertion of the states reserved power.
In view of the above ruling Thos.
Higgins, president of the Traction
company, has petitfoned the commiss-
ion TO fix the rate of fare between
Manitowoc and Two Rivers at fifteen
instead Of ten cents rs stipulated in the
franchise. When the case was dismiss
ed several months ago 10y Judge Bur
nell the street car company raised the
fare TO fifteen cents and on Friday last
Mr.. Higgins secured from the commits
sion an order permitting him to charge
10 cents As an emergency rate pend
ing the hearing before the commission,
which is set for February 20. If the
commission finally decides that the fare
shall be Is cents Gods patient poor"
will have only to grin and bear it.

FARMERS COURSE.

A display of some of the best pure
bred live stock in Wisconsin will be a
feature of the Farmers Course which
closes February l6. The exhibition
will be held in the new live stock
pavilion at the university on the even
ing of February and will be repeated
on the evening of February -. Two
shows are necessary to accommodate
the crowds who will attend. Last
year over 1900 people applied for adj
mission to the pavilion, which accom-
modates only $500 comfortably.
A dozen leading breeders Of horses
have sent their best animals TO com
pete for ribbons in this exhibition, and
aside from the herds and hocks of the
university, local animals Of special
value will be displayed. The enter
tainment features OF the show include

ed to $27OO, and withdrawing the suit
for the collection of the same. This
was done at the instance of City At
torney Hougen who stated that re-
Gently the railroad commission ruled
that the value of the Water Works
plant at Fond du Lac was not enhanced
by pavement, and consequently there
was poor show for the city to win
the case.
A large number of claims were read
and referred and those referred at the
last meeting were ordered paid.
The city will protest against the Is
cent fare on the street car between
Manitowoc and Two Rivers at the
hearing before the Railway Commits
sion at Madison on Feb. 20. This is
the recommendation of the committee
on railroads to whom the matter was
referred. City Atty. Hougen will re-
present the city at the hearing. I'm
mediately after the decision OF the
supreme court the manager OF the
Traction company secured an order
from the rate commission permitting
the street car company to charge Is
cents as an emergency rate" pending
the hearing on the company's petition
to raise the fare to I5 cents. 1t looks
like 15 cent fare, but the city will
light to the last ditch in the interest
of the people.

SINGS ITS DEATH SONG.
A Peculiar Bird Found In tho Junoles
OF South America.

There Is queer bird In the jungles
Of northern South America which is
called the "paujP by the natives, but
is known to science as the galeated
curasson. II Is chiefly remarkable be-
cause IT sings It's own death song.
1t does not really sing. but makes a
deep humming noise which sounds
very much like the Spanish words I'll
muerto esta uGui'' Uhe corpse lies here)
''It Is while uttering this lugubrious
chant" said n South American travel
er. that the paul. usually meets It's
death. for the hunter can then easily
track 1t to its retreat, and 1t fails n
victim, as the Indians say, to Its own
death song"
Ii the paul. gets suspicious 1t i'm
mediately ceases humming, and that Is
sure indication to the hunter that
the bird has seen him or scents dan
ger. In such case the only thing for
the sportsman to do Is to remain per
fectly still The bird may become re-
assured after waiting awhile and again
begin 10 call, '"The corpse lies here" 1t
can then be cautiously approached and
killed.
IL 1t is only wounded the paul usu-
ally escapes, though 1t cannot fly much
better than the ordinary domestic
fowl 1t IS very feet Of foot and will
outrun the hunter until 1t is lost In the
dense underground of the jungle.
In the mating season the male paul.
Is the most pugnacious OF birds and
will fight its own kind whenever 1t
meets them. often the nght ends In
the humiliation of both combatants.
