Rich Missourian Kills Woman.

Rich Missourian Kills Woman.
Fred ]. McFadden, wealthy citizen
of Knox City, Mo-, shot and killed Mrs.
Ethel Lagendyk in the Clifton hotel at
Grand Rapids, Mich. The shooting
apparently was the result of a quarrel
following love affair.
Shortly after the shooting a letter
from McFadden, addressed to Mrs. La
gendyk at Knox City, arrived at the
hotel. In it McFadden limited he would
kill himself and added: "You can
think of it the rest of your days-that
you caused my death"
1t appears that McFadden came on
the same train that brought his letter.
Mrs. Lagendyk's husband lives here.
She had been estranged from him two
years.
McFadden is survived by a wife and
four children in Knox City. He and
the Lagendyk woman lived together
in Alberta, Canada, for some time. Nc
Fadden was sought by draft officials.
He was 20 years old.

State Funds in Good shape.

SNNeS SAhoo VI SOO0 SudPes
Jefferson City. Mo.-So far as run
ming expenses OF the state government
are concerned. the revenue fund is
in the best shape that has been the
case for many years. The actual bal
ance in this fund is $1,76O,647, while
the balance in the treasury is SIS, 02O,-
337. There have been bigger balances
in the state treasury In recent years,
but only at times when much of the
money for the building of the capitol
was on hand, and this could be used
only for the one purpose.
The state is carrying the debt left
over by the Major administration, Of
025.000, which will have to be paid
by the end of this year. By this time
next year new laws will be in effect
which will bring in much greater rev.
enue than ever before known, in fact,
some of them are at work now, and
that accounts for the cash balance.
1t is said that prospects are brighter
now than at any time for the last
several years.

Potato BUYING pav.

Columbia, MOI. D. Mumford, fed
eral food administrator for Missouri,
has designated Thursday of each week
as Potato Buying Day" in this stats.
Consumers are urged to buy potatoes
in quantity on this day. BY the use
OF more potatoes and less white bread
more wheat can be released to our sol
diers in France and our associates in
the war. The following announcement
in regard to Potato Buying Day. was
made recently By Dean Mumford:
"The United States food admins
tration has given its approval of a
Potato Buying Day in Missouri. The
supply Of potatoes this year is 90,000,.
600 bushels in excess of the normal
requirement. The present price of DO
tatoes is about one-half of the price
one year ago. In contrast to this re-
duction in the price of potatoes, the
increased price Of other food COM
modities has advanced about 30 per
cent. In order, therefore, to encour.
age the consumption Of potatoes, the
federal food administrator for Mis-
souri, has fixed Thursday Of each
week as Potato Buying Day. and
urges all consumers to buy potatoes in
quantity on this day. In case Thurs.
day should be inconvenient for the mer-
chant, each merchant is requested to
name a day that would be most con
venient to him and his customers. In
buying potatoes it is recommended
that purchasers buy by weight"

Washington.-The Cunard liner Tus-
CANA, carrying 2,179 American sol
diers, has been torpedoed off the Irish
coast. but official reports said 1912
of the officers and men had been
saved and indicated that the list Of
rescued might prove even larger. The
troops, composed chiefly of detach-
ments Of Michigan and Wisconsin ma
.ional guardsmen, were travelling on
the Tuscania, a British vessel, under
convoy of the British warships.
A brief dispatch to the war depart
ment from London announced the dis
aster and reported the landing of only
LOO survivors.
When a message came to the state
department from the embassy at Lon
don saying 1912 of the Americans had
been accounted for the joy of officials
almost swept away the distress occa.
stoned by the earlier news. The first
LOO survivors were landed at Larne
and Buncranna, two widely separated
Irish ports, and this, coupled with the
evident fact that rescue ships were at
hand quickly, gave rise to hope that
nearly everybody on board the Tus-
cania, except those injured by the ex-
plosion, may have been saved.
Relief Ships Arrive.
The president, Secretary Baker and,
in fact, all official Washington were
up late waiting for further news. Only
briefest dispatches were received and
none gave details of the attack on the
liner. Even the time was missing, but
it was assumed that it occurred early
in the morning, as the first message
was filed at London at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, probably within an hour
after the relief ships reached the Irish
coast.
Because of the nature of the mi
tary organizations carried by the ship,
the war department at first announced
that it would be impossible to say
definitely what troops were aboard un-
til the list of survivors was received.
Later, however, the adjutant-generaPs
office made the list public. 1t fol
lows:
Headquarters detachment and Com.
panies d, E and f of the Twentieth
Engineers.

Fate of Tuscania's Crew.

Neither the dispatch to the war de.
partment nor that to the state depart
ment referred to the fate of the mem
bers of the Tuscania's crew. Undoubt-
eddy many of them were saved, and
when all reports are in officials hope
that the loss of life will be shown to
be remarkably small. The liner, which
is not a regular transport, was under
convoy, and the warships apparently
came quickly alongside for rescue
work.
The first news was given here in
this terse announcement from the war
department:
THE war department has been nf-
ficially advised that the steamship
Tuscania was torpedoed and sunk and
that survivors numbering LOO, as far
as could be ascertained, were landed
at Buncranna and Larne in Ireland
There was a total Of 2,179 United
States troops on this vessel.
mo name of persons lost has beer
reported to the war department, an(
no name OF survivors was reported
Additional particulars are promised al
soon as received"

gave the number of soldiers on boarC
as 2,173, six less than the war depart
ment's report. 1t told of plans TO
caring for the survivors. The stat
department issued this statement:

nation was that 1912 officers and
