MAN f?) MURDERS HIS WIFE.
Victim in the Prime of Usefulness and a
Mother of Five Children.

Shocking ind saddening news reach
ed this city last Sunday to the effect
that Oscar Rowley had shot his wife
at their home, three or four miles from
Shullsburg.
The victim was formerly Miss Cora
Whitford, daughter of the late John
Whitford of this city.
The horrible deed was committed
about four O. clock that morning From
what is learned Rowley had been out
practically all night and went to his
home frenzied with liquor and sur
charged with cowardly, quarreling
spirit. The result was he shot his
wife, and without the least evidence
of provocation. The bullet penetrated
her abdomen and despite the skill of
doctors she died during the night of
Monday, and Tuesday nights train
brought the body to this city for inter
nent.
Mrs. Rowiey was well known in this
community, where her life as child
and young woman was spent. Hers
was kind, gentle, good nature, and
she was crowned with the esteem Of
every acquaintance. The cutting off
of such life in such ruthless, saw
wage manner, is horrifying.
Mrs. Rowley was about az years of
age. She was y most devoted mother,
daughter and sister. Five children,
ranging in age from 2 to 10 years, are
suddenly and mercilessly robbed of the
best there is in life for them a true
snottnsSs. HHsr father died few years
ago; her mother still lives to be crushed
by this blow of grief There are two
brothers, Chris. and Andrew Whitford
of this city, and two sisters, Mrs. Mel
vim Terrell and Mrs. Fred Thomas.
The murderer is behind the bars at
Darlington awaiting trial.

What if we should go to one of our
local storekeepers and say: Here is
a ten dollar bill; l want you to buy for
me such-and-such an article, made
SO and-so, this color, that size, and de-
.Uyer it to me at year convenience-sa say
. days.
y Ia long comes another townsman, and
aao.iaer, still another, until 80 of us, all
living here in our community, shall
have placed in the hands of the store
keeper a sum amounting to thousand
dollars, with similar instructions.
We would then have treated our
local storekeeper with the same liber-
atty as we, who have been buying Of
the mail order houses, have treated
these monopolistic concerns. We would
have then supplied him with cash cap
ital sufficient to buy what we ordered
and give him fair profit on the deal.
Do We Do This? Yes, We Do Not.
But this is exactly what we do with
the mail order in the big city. We
send him the money in advance. He
has the use of our cash for the pur-
chase of his merchandise He sends us
whatever he chooses and if we do not
ike it we can whistle for our money.

of the latest designs and the best
made fountain on the market. 1t

Warning Requested

Young girls contemplating seek
ing employment in California this
summer are strongly warned not to
go there. At the conference of
committees of the general Fedora
tion of Women's Club, held at Chi
cago last summer the chairmen of
the social and industrial conditions
department passed resolutions urg-
ing every state federation of clubs
to assume the responsibility Of print
ing and posting throughout their
respective states warning to keep
girls from going alone to San Fran
cisco in 1915. The committee wish
es the clubs Of the country to give
the utmost publicity concerning the
danger.
Idaho's committee is composed Of
Mrs. E. j. Dockery, Boise. chairman,
Mrs. Isham Sedgwick, Wendell, Mrs.
George Axline, Albion and Mrs. C.
j. Orland, Moscow. The members
are urging all the papers of the state
to reprint this warning that the Ida
no girls may not fall into danger.
The women of San Francisco are
determined to prevent the letting of
portion of the fair grounds for the
purpose of establishing houses of
prostitution and are doing all in
their power to stay the evil.
However this controversy ends,
one thing must be remembered. The
vice that sacaifices the girlbood and
boyhood of the country and brings
contamination upon innocent wives
and children that vice intends to
flourish somewhere during the
worlds fair.
Let it be remembered that the
country will be secured for girls to
supply the demands of this nefarious
business, and every means that is
possible for man to conceive will be
used to snare and mislead these girls
in order to secure them.
Every girl should be warned
against advertisements of positi ons
in San Francisco, for every place
that is worth while will be taken,
and the door that is open to the
strange girl will be the door that
leads to predition, The papers that
do their duty to the girlhood of the
nation will publish the warning,
and women of every town and city
who would protect the youth of the
land will sound the alarm and eau
ton and guard the girls of their
neighdorhood.

NEW FEATURES FOR
THE MARKET DAY
Real Beneficiaries Of Parcel
Post

The parcel post system which
Uncle Sam inauguarted the first of
1913 in the belief that the high cost
of living would be thottled and the
farmer would be greatly benefited
by shipping his produce directly to
the consumer in the city has failed
utterly in bringing about such re-
suits, say officials of the Chicago
post Office department. In reality
the thing that has occurred is exactly
that which the opponents of the par
eel post system said would occur
that is, the system has worked out
to the entire benefit of the big mail
order houses in Chicago and to them
alone.
The Chicago postoffice, which is
one of the largest in the country, is
now daily jammed to suffocation
with parcel post packages which are
being sent out by the big mail order
houses, while little or no produce is
handled as incoming parcels.
The amount of food products that
are shipped from agricultural dis
tricts today by parcel post is hardly
worth considering" declared Post
master Campbell recently. "It is
true that the friend of the parcel
post argued that it would allow
people in the cities to get farm pro-
ducts fresh from the country and
then the system would cut out the
middle man, make more money for
the farmers and cut down the high
cost of living for the consumers.
That has not been brought about.
The Farmers themselves do not ap-
pear to be clamoring for the parcel
post in the handling of their products
and my personal experience is that
they are content with present meth
DDS of shipments.
In the meantime, the mail order
merchants are saying nothing, but
saving wood.

The School Teacher

How old are you little boy?" ask
ed a man of a little fellow. He
said: Give at home, six at school
and four in the street cal, - The
trouble is you let the most of the
moral training go to the school
teacher. | never aspired to but one
office in my life and that was a
member of the school board, and if
/ ever were to become member
the first thing l would do would be
to pay the school teachers twelve
months in the year instead of nine.
1t is disgrace, the miserable salar-
les we pay our school teachers in
this country. They go in the fall
with their cheeks looking like roses
and they come out in the spring
looking like lilies. They spend their
lives trying to make something out
of that nonentity that bears your
name. The average yearly wage of
the school teacher in this country is
$500. So day for the school year,
and the average wage is $1.60 a
day for the calender year. There
are eleven states in this union that
pay teachers less than $500 year,
two states pay less than $3.50 year.

WATCH FOR THE DATE
OF THE MARKET DAY
Took shot at Priest

Winchester, May 1.-THE officers
are seeking Tobe Blair, young man
residing here, to answer to the
charge of firing shot at Father
Zuur, a Catholic priest of Grange
, vile, who was Winchester visitor
last evening.
1t appears Blair was away from
Winchester yesterday and returned
on the evening train. 1t is charged
that he was under the influence of
liquor and during the early evening
met Father Zuur in the western por-
tion of the town. It is charged
that Blair stopped the priest, order
ed hint put up his hands and then
drew his revolver and fired. Father
Zuur made hasty retreat into a
near by house for protection and
Blair disappeared. Father Zuur
stated today that he doubted if Blair
intended to actually inflict him but
fired the shot in his direction more
with a view of intimidation.
The matter was taken up today
by Justice of the Peace E. C. Ecker
sley and warrant for the arrest of
Blair was issued. Inquiries made
by the officers failed to secure any
trace of him after the shot was fired
and he had not been apprehended at
8 o'clock this evening.
Blair is young man and came
to the Winchester section from Ken
lucky. 1t is believed he will endeav-
or to make his escape from the coun-
try.
