Rees seemed to hardly comprehend
the situation and wanted to know
whether or not he would have to stay
in jail. He seemed at a loss to know
what to do in the case although he
steadily maintained during the eve-

Girls storya
A more heart -rending or tragic
story than that told by the girl to both
the coroner and the states attorney
can hardly be imagined. In hating
sentences her answers came to the
questions revealing the awful deed Of
killing her first born child on the
evening OF Monday. last. The girl. is
about % years of age and comes of a
fine family. She has been living for
the past year and half with her sis
ter, Mrs. Wade. at Hampden. During
that time she was employed in the
telephone ONCE. A little over o year
ago she became acquainted with Rees
and they were engaged, They left

said that she was i'll Monday evening
and that about 8 o'clock she was taken

The girl told OF her terrible pain and
how the child was born under these
unnatural circumstances. she told OF

know about the child being born and
how she had drawn the strings tight

she ate her breakfast In the room
and that evening she and Rees went
to the Grand and Play theatres
and went out for her meals on that
day and Wednesday. She persists ii
the claim that Rees knew nothing
about the child. Asked why she did
the act. the poor girl said that she was
insane with the pain and fear that
Rees would find out about 1t. For some
reason known only to herself she want
ed to keep the fact from him, although
she stated that he was the father OF
the child. She thought that they would
be married next week and that all
would be right.
sRess' Story.
Rees' story is simply that he did
not know what happened on Monday
night. The girl convinced him that
the evidences OF bodily disorder was
due to natural causes and by secur-
ing sheets from the next room and
changing the bedding. she concealed
the condition that really existed. He
admitted that he had accused her sew
eral times of being enciente, but that
she had evaded answering him. He
said that on Monday night when he
asked her If there was anything wrong
she had replied no and that he went
to sleep. He declared that he knew
nothing about what transpired in the
bath room. Rees said that he was
the adopted son OF Rufus Rees Of
Hampden, that he Is 20 years Of age,
ana that he left his home for the girl
because his folks did not like her. He
stuck to his story, admitting at the
same time that 1t seemed almost ina-
probable. Rees declared that he loved
the girl and that he would gladly suf-
fer anything II they would only let
her so free.
Not IN Right Mind.
There were several indications last
evening that Miss Molstad was not
In her right mind and special precau-
tion will be taken to see that no sui
cidal attempt is made. She is an In
telligent and good looking girl and
this makes the reason for the deed
harder to ascertain. 1t is doubtful
whether 1t will be possible to hold the
inquest on Monday evening. but by
that time II is expected that Reea will
be ready TO take some action. There
is general sentiment that the girl
is more to be pitied than condemned.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
eosToN's FIRST FIRE.

Boston had Its first fire on
March 10. 1881. u has had
many eonflagrations since then,
and Of far greater dimensions;
but probably none that seemed
more disastrous al the time, or
that led TO more important con-
sequences. In this first fire two
dwellings were burned 10 the
ground. At that time the peo-
pie had no lime with which TO
make mortar. so they construct
ed their ehlmneys Of sticks,
plastered over with clay. Chin
neys built OF such material we're
called "catted" chin eys. The
roofs OF the dwellings were
made Of rushes and reeds. Thus
the chimneys and roofs COM
blned 20 render the houses es.

this first FIRE wooden ohlmneys
and matched roofs were forbid

JUST SUPPOSE A CASE.

Suppose lightning should strike
the court house in your county and
burn it down, leaving you without
a home for the county offices and
without vault protection for the
county records, would you not IA
vor a proposition that had for it's
object the building Of a new court
house2 OF course you would; it's
almost an insult to your intelli-
gence and enterprise to raise the
question. The State OF Missouri,
your state that you love so well, is
confronted with exactly this coRdi-
ton. Lightning destroyed the cap
itol; the state offices are home
less; the state legislature is with
out a place to meet; the state rec
ords, priceless and of incompatible
value. are at the mercy of fire and
storm-liable to destruction at any
time. Under such circumstances,
to even raise the question as to
whether or not the loyal Nilsson
rian favors rebuilding an adequate
capitol as soon as possible is al
most an insult to his spirit of priG
and progress.

Evansville, Mo-, is all stirred up
over a difficulty and local scandal
which has developed in that COM
munity recently. Jason M. Nichols
a merchant there lost his wife sew
eral months ago. Subsequently he
arranged with Garrard H. Richard
son and wife to occupy his resi-
dence and keep house for him. A
difficulty subsequently arose be-
tween Nichols and Richardson in
which it is said Nichols assaulted
Richardson, and is also said to have
made charges rejecting upon his
honesty. Mrs. Richardson. it is re-
ported, sided with Nichols in the
difficulty.
The assault and the reports cir
culated have aroused the neighbour
hood, as such difficulties usually do
and sentiment has developed rapid
ly and most of it reported favorable
to Richardson. The result is that
he has brought two suits againt the
merchant for $4,000 each. One
for alienation of Mrs. Richardson's
affections, the other for SANDER
growing out of language used by
Nichols at the time of the assault.
Richardson is reported to be an
invalid and cripple, the result of
spinal disease.
J, H. WhitecOtton, attorney for
Richardson, went to Paris today to
file the suits in the circuit clerks

S2,5oo,coo NOT TOO MUCH.

At first blush three and oRe-half
million dollars may leok like a
large sum to invest in a capitol
b ding for even so splendid a
state as imperial Missouri. But
Wen YOU take into consideration
t e increased cost of building mate
rial and labor over a few years ago,
you must realize that the sum
asked is a very modest one. The
fact that the building is to be fire
EroCf throughout should not be
overlooked in considering the ques-
ton of cost. And then, too, we
should not forget that while there
nay be these who consider three
and one-haR million dollars too
much, there are others who believe
it too little. This ele'1ent in the
legislature forced the submission Of
a five million dollar proposition in
the event of the defeat of the
'ln"er am INT. And .en we con-
slider that the three and one-half
million dollar capitol must receive
two-thirds majority, while a bare
majority will carry the five million
dollar one, every advocate of econ
omy ought to be at work for the
proposition to be voted On August
1T.

A cAPIToLLEss CAPITAL.

Missouri, the greatest state in

has no capitol building. This fac
does not reflect upon the enterprise
and loyalty of Mtssourians, and
will not until they vote down n
proposition to rebuild the capitol
destroyed by liglrtEdng.. which will
be never. Just watch the spirit OF
progress in this grand old state
embrace the FIRST opportunity tc
build a new capitol.
