HOW CLARK is LIKE
;THOS. JEFFERSON
Next Speaker Doesn't Think
He Knows it All.
Josephus Daniels in Raleigh News and

Josephus Daniels in Raleigh News and
Observer.
The election of Mr.. Clark is I'M
precedented in the fact that he is the
first man to be elected speaker of the
house in the last half century by re-
ceiving the unanimous vote OF his
party for his first term. other speak
.ers have received the unanimous vote
of their party for thesecond term, but
when chosen for the first term as
speaker, all others have had a cone
test in the party and have come to
the position after a hard fight
when Mr.. jefferson was president
he treated the members of his cabinet
as equals and they discussed great
questions and there We're real confer
ences in which the president often de-
fired to the combined wisdom of the
majority of his cabinet The result
was the greatest administration in the
history of the republic, and the
strengthening of the party so that it
had continuous lease Of power for
"A years.
Mr.. Clark is 4 disciple Of Jefferson
in this respect, and does not think that
he knows it all or is infallible and he
invites conferences with other leaders
and seeks to make a policy for his
party and for his country that is the
embodiment of the best wisdom of &
majority of the house.
Already there has come TO the house
a feeling among some democrats
against the change by which the COM
mittees are nominated by the ways
and means committee and approved by
/ the party caucus There are a num-
4 Der of representatives who believe that
the old rule of giving the speaker
the appointment of committees is the
best rule, and that the new departure
will not turn out we'll However, the
most of these feel that the verdict II
/ November was for this change, ant
they are acquiescent in it. Most ot
the new members, particularly from
I the North and West, said that the,
had promised their constituents tina
the one man power would be ended anC
they could not keep their promise
the speaker could name all of the com
mittees. The caucus very wisely tool
away the appointment of committee
from the speaker in response to wha
they believe was a popular demand
Mr.. Clark, with the proper spirit, no
only indorsed, but approved their &c
ton. He is the farthest from tn
car of any man you ever saw, an
: does not wish to make the house tn
mere creature of his will.

DIR. AINSWORTH HAD
SUCCESSFUL TRIP
President Secures $4,000
for Wesleyan.

Macon, Ga, January 27.-Dr. Aims
worth, president OF Wesleyan College,
returned yesterday from brief trip
to Augusta, Warrenton and Sparta,
where he secured $500 for the Greater
Wesleyan fund. DIR Ainsworth IS
travelling great deal of his time in
the prosecution of this interest, and
expects with this year to bring the
Greater Wesleyan campaign to a sue
cessful conclusion A little more than
100000 has now been secured for
this notable enterprise and friends of
( Wesleyan have no doubt of the trium-
lphant completion OF the states can
( vass in due time.
! In conversation with a newspapeH
man here, DR.. Ainsworth said:
1T is gratifying 10 note that there
( is a distinct educational revival in
/ Georgia, and a popular interest in
building greater educational institu-
lions. The people are awaking to the
fact that with all our agricultural de
yelopment which would be surprising
to those who have not travelled over
the state, and with our good roads
movement at last there is nothing OF
such far reaching importance to the
welfare of the whole state as better
educational facilities. 1t is exceed
ingly. gratifying to me that our people
of moderate means everywhere are dis
posed to give such aid as they can 10
our educational enterprises. and by
the way, Mr. Reporter, while saying
a word to you upon the sub
ject of the Greater Wesleyan cam
paign. l wish you would remind the
people through the press that Macon
hns moi yet quite completed the $40
600 hat was asked and is still eX-
.po@ed of this city 1t will be neces-
sary for us all to pull together and
conn Iete our part Of this campaign
ia good order at an early date. Macon
has done admirably in this campaign
and I am sure viii not stop short Of
complete success"

countries Followers of the prophet

believe that the time has come when
not Turkey alone but all Mohamme-
dams must choose between subsection

ST. JOSEPH GOT
GOOD SOAKING
Streets Flooded With Water and One
Man Is Thought to Have
Drowned.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Oct 2.--St Jo-
seph experienced what was perhaps
the worst storm in its history at 8
O'Clock Sunday morning, when rain to
the amount of 6 inches fef, accom-
panied by terrific thunder and light
ming storm. At least one man, Riley
Hellup, is missing, hundreds of per-
sons are homeless and property dam
age to the amount of probably $4,000
has been done.
Arthur's addition, district in the
extreme southern part of the city, near
the packing houses. sustained the
greatest damage, when Browns
Branch, a large creek, overfowed its
banks and the water. which had been
held in check by railroad tracks,
hacked UP into the homes and drove
their occupants into the storm in
search of higher ground Many of the
residents who failed to heed the
warming of neighbors were rescued
during the early morning hours by
men in boats and on RATS.
Hellup, the missing man, lived
alone in a small house near the banks
of the creek. The house is under
water and Hellup is believed to have
perished. A woman and child are
also unaccounted for, but are believed
to have spent the night UPTOWN.

Doctor Had Two Wives and Killed
the Second One In Order
To Be Rid Of
Her.
Was Married Twice Within Week
and Killed One Because She
Wanted to Meet His
Parents.

CHICAGO, III. Oct 2.-Cringing fear
took the place of a drug-produced
nerve when DR.. Homer e, Webster
collapsed and confessed that he had
murdered one of his two wives in
lonely ravine near Dixon two weeks
ago.
The physician whose brazen non
chalance had excited the wonder of
police officials sobbed as he lifted the
curtain on dual life that had existed
since his second marriage, last Janu-
ary.
He told how he had ION the i'm
pulse" taken two wives within week.
He related in detail his efforts to rid
himself of the second wife, how she
had persisted that she loved him and
had pleaded to be introduced to his
parents. 1t was this desire that led her
to follow him to Dixon and to her
DEATH
The remainder of the story, viewed
from the doctors standpoint, was sim
pie enough. He simply grew so sullen
at her perseverance in following him
| that he decided to take her life.
He drove In a buggy to the almost
inaccessible spot in the woods where
| her body was found few days ago
Then he literally threw her from the
/ rig. He hurled suit case and a trav
cling bag at her head. Finally, he said
i he 1eaped from the buggy and stabbed
her again and again in the throat
When the unconscious woman sank
| to the bed of leaves under a hickory
tree he simply drew the leaves about
| it and returned to the buggy. He
4 drove back to the village, paid for the
! buggy and returned to Chicago con
tent in the belief that he had rid him
| self of one obstacle to complete hap

That was all the prisoner had te
say. He looked at his accusers whel
he had finished as if his statement
had amply justified his acts.
In a cell at the police station Dr.
Webster's first wife sobbed herself in

SKULLS WERE CRUSHED
Murder Committed Saturday Night
and Not Discovered Unit, Late
Sunday Morn
Ing.

MONMOUTH, Ill, Oct. 2.-William
q. Dawson, his wife, and one daugh-
ter, Georgia. aged lS. were found
dead in their beds Sunday, the skulls
OF each crushed in. Dawson was the
caretaker OF the First Presbyterian
church, and when he failed to open
the building for service, messengers
went to his home on South First
street, about eleven o'clock and founu
the bodies.
There was no evidence of strug-
gle in the house and the murderer is
believed to have killed each with a
single blow
Dawson had four married daugh-
ters and three unmarried, all of the
latter living at hom,. Two of them
were absent in the country.
When the pastor arrived at the
church he could not enter, and sent
two boys to the Dawson home for the
janitor They knocked at the front
door but could get no response. They
returned and two Of the church mem
bers, NJ. l.. Price and w e. McClung,
were sent. After trying the two
doors, they finally entered by means
of rear door which was ajar. They
discovered the bodies lying on the
further marks of violence were visible
I The bodies were cold and had been
dead probably seven or eight hours.
I The wounds seem to have been
made with blunt instrument, such
as a stone or bar of iron. No motive
for the crime has been discovered
but the police are working on clue
Some years ago Dawson was sent
to the penitentiary at Joliet for horse
! stealing, together with another man
| He is said to have "peached' on his
! partner and was given short term
1 on this account. The other man was
/ released last year and has not been
/ heard of since Dawson since that
| time has borne a good reputation.
| Soon after being liberated Dawson
ioined the church and has held the
position of ianitor of the Presbyterian
church. The first supposition OF the
police was that robbery had been the
I motive. but this was dispelled when
it was found that Dawson had drawn
but forty dollars and most OF this was
1 accounted for.
