 Since the northern route has been established by the Old Trails As sociation and this has become the official line from Santa Fe west, our newspaper friends in Phoenix have resorted to vile, false, malicious and ungentlemanly. not to say damnable, dirty, methods of fighting the north ern section of the State.

NORTH ID GIVE BACK
 MONEY ID WE[CHERS

If the boosters of every section oi the State were up and coming all the time like those of the North, par ticularly the counties of Mohave, Navajo, Coconino and Apache, things certainly would be humming all the time.
 The howl being raised by the South that many of its people were bilked out of g under the promise of the ocean-to-ocean highway be- ing routed through that section, doe: not listen good. Evidently they ex- pected Q cinch and after they have found that they lost and the North won they are squealing loudly and threatening all kinds of dire and dreadful vengeance.
 But the northern counties, which won such notable victory at the Old Trails Association at Kansas City, are game to the core, and rather than listen to the pitiful plea over the loss of that s are raising money to reimburse the Southern welcherS.
 The situation is portrayed in an article appearing in the last issue of the Coconino Sun and it is spicy reading to say the least This is how the Sun views the matter under the heading: "The Stripe of South ern Papers,"

HORRIBLE CRIME
COMMITTED BY 4
JEALOUS NEGRO
John Wilson Hacks His Wife to
Pieces and Then Slashes
His Own Throat.

A most atrocious double tragedy
murder and suicide-occurred in Mus
catine last evening when John Wilson,
colored, attacked his wife, Myrtle,
with a pairing knife, literally hacked
her TO pieces, and then slashed his
own throat, causing death several
hours later. Before he died he admit
ted his awful deed.
Wilson and his wife until two weeks
ago were Davenporters. At Muscatine
they roomed with Mrs Allie Jameson.
Wilson was % years of age and his
wife year younger. She was a pretty
negress and her husband developed
fits of wild jealousy over fancied at
tentions bestowed on her by other
men. One of these fits came on last
night, and without their having quar-
relied at all, Wilson seized a pairing
knife and started slashing his wife as
she ran from one room to another In
the kitchen of the house she swooned,
and while unconscious he cut her to
pieces, hacking at her neck until her
head hung only by a strand of flesh.
Mrs. Jameson and Mrs. Roy Moore
had tried to prevent the murder, and
failing, had locked themselves in the
front of the house, after sending word
for the police. Wilson, after murder
ing his wife, tried to get to the other
two women. and failing in this, re-
turned to his dead wife and cut his
own throat and fell over her body.
There they lay until the arrival of
the police and two physicians. The
doctors sewed up the murderer's throat
and he regained consciousness enough
to admit that he killed his wife. He
then asked for a drink, after which he
never spoke again. He died at the hos
pital to which he had been removed.

RUMOR OF HANGING
is RESULT OF JOKE

A joke sprung in Davenport this
morning caused the wide circulation
of a rumor to the effect that Floyd
Sheets, boy bandit, who murdered the
West Davenport grocer recently, and
who is now in jail awaiting trial, had
been lynched. Considerable excite
ment was caused among those who
did not get the point of the joke and
who passed it on in all sincerity. The
perpetrator cracked it something like
this: "a mob accomplished the hang
ing of Sheets in Davenport this morn

a mere semblance Of truth.

Lovers Of ragtime have a rare treat

Lovers Of ragtime have a rare treat
awaiting them next Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, Feb. II, IS and ls. at
the Illinois theatre, when the Eiks
minstrel show will be offered for the
delectation Of those who cherish in
one corner Of their cardiac region a
warm spot for syncopatlon. A scintel-
Iating program Of the latest rag hits
has been prepared, and when the
Bills launch into the "sifted sand
stun" gags will be placed upon the
real fans, lest they shout right out
in meeting and break up the show.
One feature which promises a revela-
ton in syncopation is the opening
chorus, which comprises a medley of
real numbers. Once the seductive
strains are waited out over the foot
lights there is likely TO be a mob
scene. Consequently the local lodge
has secured the services of a platoon
Of blue coats whose duty IL will be
to prevent any attempt of the auditors
TO rise 20 their feet and do the bear"
The orchestra chairs have been braced
with reinforced steel bars, so that
any impromptu swaying will not tear

be no dull moments during the entire
performance. When the proceedings
threaten to drag, and the satin gown
ed women begin to yawn with ennui,
ushers with red, white and blue uni
forms will pass through the audience
serving rye bread and soup. Tea and
waters will be provided for the gent.e-
men.
HAMPTON TO SING.
Several ballads will be rendered in
a manner such as TO cause a marked
fiuctuation in the Wholesale handker-
chief market.

But / Hope She's Doing Well" will
be sung by Lefty Hampton with
pathos and a dress suit. When Mr..
Hampton first heard the song he was
so deeply impressed that he wept real
tears. These have been collected and
placed in a gallon jug, marked Exhibit
4, and this lachrymose receptacle will
be on exhibition, center stage, on the
opening night.

not get the machine some one else
will. This is his own personal guar
antee and therefore carries additional
weight.
Wednesday night will be "tri-city

Davenport and Moline are expected.

that thus far the printers have been
unable to supply the demand, and
forces have been put on both night and
