 Louise Weiss, aged 40, the victim, led a sombre existence as a seamstress. Her sister says that she was always miserly, secretive, and reserved. She was embit- tered on account of her disfgurement. and was always attempting to rid herself of it. When she left home she was wearing several articles of jewelry. She always carried her savings in her pocket.
 Fraulein Weiss was last seen entering a house where her friend, Frau Marie Bartunek lived with a tailor named Franz Czerny. The remains were found on the ground floor of the same house. The po- lice have searched Frau Bartunek's flat and allege that they found traces of blood on the recently washed floor, charred re- mains, supposed to be the missing limbs were in cupboard, with the further pages of a newspaper in the title page of which the head of the victim was wrapped. v E.i-..'-,.-l-...

Jackson, Miss, January 14.-(Special)- For several months Jackson has known that she is in line for a Carnegie Library, but has discovered that there is good deal of red tape to be gotten rid of be- fore the library is actually accomplished. However, those in charge of the Carnegie funds that are set aside for library pur- poses have promised Jackson one to cost about s65,o0O, and the arrangements are almost completed.
 The city of Jackson. through its board of mayor and aldermen, has agreed to maintain the institution, and has levied 1a mill tax for that purpose.
 James Bertrand secretary to MT.

tury. Mir Stuart tells remarkable story of the stage trip from Indianola to San Antonio. He says that six horses were used to draw the vehicle and that the six animals and the driver all told had but one eye. The horses were all sightless and the driver had lost one of his eyes in a gun scrimmage out on the border some years before. MT Stuart declares that the trip of 150 miles was the nearest approach to blind drive over an unknown country that he has ever taken. He recalled his experi- ence today when commenting on the wonderful development which has taken place here. He is preparing to go over the o.u stage route from this city to the site of old Indianola. In makinga this trip he expects to use an automobile and cover the distance in one day, in- stead of being five days on the road as he was when he made his famous stage trip half a century ago.
