self in House Defying
Arrest

Chattanooga, April 1S.-Telephone mes
sases to this city tonight tell of a SEN
sational murder at Cottonport, village
in Meigs county, on the Tennessee river,
few miles above Chattanooga. Charles
w. Goodlake, well known timer, who
has operated a business in this city for
many years, today fired five bullets into
the body of his wife, killing her instant
ly. Healso fired at his son, but the boy
escaped. Goodlake then fortified himself
in his house, where the body of his muir
dered wife lay. He defied sheriff's
posse for four hours. Finally, in an effort
to escape, the desperate man fired on the
posse. Instantly every man in the crowd
returned his fire and Goodlake fell pierced
with six pistol balls and many buckshot.
His body was riddled, but at a late hour
he was still alive. He was removed to
Dayton for treatment.
The cause of the tragedy is not known
further than that Goodlake was known to
be quarrelsome with his family, and had
frequently attempted to do them violence
The family is well connected in this Sec
tion.

Bayonets and Battle
From the Chicago Daily News.

Ing the dead or wounded the actual
business is much the same as ever en-
tirely unpleasant to contemplate. All the
refinements of war have not eliminated
the bayonet. Yet only few years ago
military writer's were in the habit of
conceding that high power rifles had
rendered the bayonet obsolete.
Captain Bravette, an Italian navel ex-
pert, declares: "Al our battles in Tripoli
have been won with cold steel, no less
than 1900 Turks and Arabs having been
killed with the bayonet in a single fight.
Italian soldiers will always be famous
for handling cold steel in the most eff
cient manner"
The bayonet was much used in the
Boer WAL British soldiers finding it eff
fective at close range because the Beers
had no similar weapon. 1t was often
used by the Japanese in their ferocious
rushes upon Russian entrenchments. 1t
has played notable part in the Balkan
war In the recent terrible fighting
around Scutari it was used with much
effect. The dispatches read: .The Monte
negrin infantry followed up the lombard
ment by storming the hill at the point
of the bayonet driving the Turks out of
their works"
Professor Stephanove, the Sofia corre-
spondent of the Chicago Daily News
quotes wounded Bulgarian soldier NIo
thus describes a bit of fighting: 'sOur
regiment went too far into the enemy's
entertainments, when suddenly we saw
ourselves surrounded. In a moment the
blades on the eAlannlicher guns shone
in the light as the men rushed at their
opponents. ! never believed | could be

FREE TICKETS ARE

Little Ones To Be Guests of

POtlatch Week

The Shriners of Zamora temple, Bir-

tertainment Tuesday afternoon, April 90.
at the carnival grounds on Sixth ave-
nue. and Twenty-fourth street, for the
school children of this city and all towns
in the vicinity.
Three big admission shows, the big col
ored minstrel show billiard, Voltana the
electric girl and the monster of the deep
will open their doors free to the little
ones ON the above date. Tickets for
admission are being distributed rapidly,
and il is safe to predict an enormous
gathering of little ones. Besides the above
attractions, special musical numbers will
be rendered by the Royal Italian band.
This, together with the marvellous Mel
Vile. the noted aerial artist, and Maxine,
the high diver, Will no doubt satisfy for
one day the little ones.
Some of the downtown merchants have
made arrangements TO distribute most OF
the tickets at their places of business,
and they can be had for the asking.

When Shoes Are Wet

Would you care to insert the follow
ing in your Corner? 1t may benefit some
one: If ones shoes are wet, to avoid TAX
ing cold step into the nearest waiting room
or station, slip off the shoes, and place a
double thickness OF newspaper in them,
thus keeping the feet warm until one
gets home. This is tried and found to
be perfect substitute in a case of emer-
gency. MRS. s. K"
We have been told of many uses for
newspapers, such as making of them in
terlinings for comfortables or spread for
outdoor sleeping. wearing them as chest
protectors in cold weather, polishing win
dows with them, etc. But here is still
another way in which they may be of
service after they have been read and
mentally digested But If one happens OF
wear closely fitting shoes, would not the
newspapers render them too tight for
comfort?

Removing Stains from Sink

"WiH you kindly tell me through the
Corner if there is any, way of keeping
a white enameled sink from getting dis
colored? If SO, what to use to clean it.
CONSTANT READER
Grease will collect upon white enam-
eled sink. but it can be removed by
scrubbing it with washing soda and hot
water. Kerosene applied with a brush or
cloth will also take off the stains after
which the enamel must be washed In hot
water and soap to remove all traces OF
the oil. Gasoline will also clean the in
sides of enameled or porcelain lined tubs
and sinks.
