A MAD MAN'S AWFUL CRIME. Young Brubaker, of Washington, Kan- sas, Kills His Mother. Washington, Kan., October 31.— About 5 o’clock this afternoon Sol. Brubaker, aged 28 or 24 years, killed his mother, aged about 50 years, by cutting her throat with a razor and then cut his own throat, but in such a bungling manner that he only suc- ceeded in severing the windpipe without cutting the jugular vein. He had been ill with typhoid fever and was just able to be up and around. The family live about half a mile from town and Brubaker had walked up to town, remaining till late in the afternoon. When he reached home he went to his room and, it is supposed, summoned his mother, but what passed between them is unknown. A little before 5 o'clock a daughter of the old lady returned home from school and saw her .mother go up stairs and soon after she heard a scuffle and going up stairs saw her mother lying in a pool of blood upon the floor, and her brother, clothed only in a light summer undershirt, standing over her brandishing a bloody razor. The girl gave the alarm and a Methodist preacher, passing oy, brought the information to town but before anyone could arrive the mur- derer had cut his own throat and was found half lying on the bed, his head on the floor and his feet on the pillow. He was immediately taken in charge and conveyed to another room, fighting desperately, but un- able to talk, and fastened to a bed with ropes. When his wound had been dressed the murderer acknowledged the killing and said that he had done it because his mother would not go for a doctor. The young fellow is about half simple and the family had had con stant trouble for along time. The coroner has been summoned but no verdict has yet been returned. The blood is the regulator.

Washington, Oct. 30.—The navy department has been requested by the secretary of state to send a man- of-war to Hayti to look ‘after Ameri- can interests there which appear to have been jeopardized by the seizure of the American steamer, Haytien Republic, at St. Mare and other dis- turbing events at Port au Prince. At present all the vessels of the North Atlantic stations are laid up in navy yards for repairs, except the Boston, which is now at some Cen- tral American port beyond the reach of the telegraph. Efforts will be made to communicate with her, and it is expected that the vessel will be able to reach Hayti in a few days. China Beycotting American Goods. New York, Oct. 26.—The follow- ing Chinese circular has just reach- ed the Chinese merchants in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Gentlemen: You are hereby noti- fied that you are to immediately dis- “Continue the purchas of following articles from American sources for ‘the markets here, as they are being severally boycotted (Vin Maid) by members of the trade unions and other citizens. These are the arti cles now prescribed: Petroleum, white.sheeting, all kinds of Ameri- can calico, watches and American fire arms, ginseng root and flour. With the exception of a few firms in New York, the above circular will have no effect, but many San Fran- cisco firms will feel it severely as ‘several of them are heavy dealers in American flour, petroleum and cot- ton goods. ee Do You Suffer From Rheumatism? Ns one who has not been sufferer can have auy idea of the excrutiating agony caused. “by rheumatism. This painful disease is trequently caused by a stop- pnge of the circulation of the blood, _ through the muscular portions of he body. BALLARD’S SNOW LINI- MENT will invariably cure this disease by penctrating every spot of the skin and _ Grawing to the outer surtace al! poison- “ous matter and restoring a uatural circu- tation ot the blood.

So itis really no place for you and the Mr. , Smathers. This is not, asa matter of fact our funeral. As soon as I) of brains I immediatly spread my | the tariff and that no man ought to vote until he thoroughly understands what the general effect on all classes of industiies in this country will be. Should that be the case, there will, be a very small vote indeed. Only one man in America fully under stands what the ultimate result of tariff reduction will be down toa dollar and how it will affect all class- es here in this country, having made a lifelong study of it, and unfortun- ately he can not take part in the campaign, because his ward cannot spare him. He resides in a very close ward and he is very much at- tached to his ward by means of a log- chain, and the sides of his ward are padded so that he cannot fracture his skull and throw more than his share of brains into this highly in- telligent campaign. But it is, so far, a good, clear, calm, unimpassioned campaign, with more banner than business in it. For Sweet Home's Sake.

Minneapolis, Oct. 30.—The police have been working on the Bohemian flats wholesale poisoning case, and yesterday arrested Mrs. Martin, s/ young bride, charg her with the crime. It appears that on the after- noon of the day on which the bridal party arrived there was a quarrel. The bride of three days was jealous of her pretty cousin, Lizzie Hala- vatch, and grew excited because her husband was attentive to Lizzie. In this his whole family took part. The bride was very angry and going to a drug store bought the poison. After the poisoning, the family entered tle guar- | Solid by W. into collusion to conceal the identity of the poisoner who had repented of her rashness.

Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 1.—News has just been received here of a cold blooded murder committed near Mt. Pleasant, Monroe county, in this state. John Williams returning home found his house locked and his wife abseat. His suspicions were aroused and, looking around he saw \ signs of some one having been drag- ged across the yard and discovered blood also on the premises. Fol- lowing the trail 175 yards distant he found fresh dirt thrown up and | leaves piled over the place to con-!| ceal a newly-made grave, which, on | opening, he found to contain the body of his wife, which presented a ghastly sight. Inthe back of the | head was a wound from which the brains were protruding. The house was also found to have been entered and robbed. A negro boy by the! name of Robertson was arrested on | suspicion, and to save him from be- ing mobbed by an outraged commu- | nity the officers hurried him to heard that it was to bea campaign j | was handsomely j-week, Wedding Bells- Married, on Thursday eve, Oct.

They stood beneath a beautiful floral horse shoe and the nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Deane, of Harrisonville, in a short but very impressive cere- mony. After the congratulations, the dining room doors were thrown open and the guests invited to en- ter. Now our pen fails and words prove inadequate to describe the elegant supper under which the ta- ble was fairly groaning. Sufficient to say that it was all that one who has an eye for the beautiful and an epicurean could desire. The bride, who is a petite but lovely blonde, presented a handsome appearance in a beautiful costume of straw colored faille de francaise silk. Corsage V front. Garniture natur- al flowers, Miss Fisher is a univer- sal favorite and will be sadly missed from the social circle by her many youthful friends. The groom look- ed very stylish in an elegant evening suit. Mr. Simpson is an energetic ; young man with good business qual- ities and we bespeak for them a bright future, and “may their joy never be dimmed by years but grow brig and brighter and brighter astloir bark gently glides down the strea 1 of time,” is the sincere wish of the writer. We can only say that Mr. and Mrs. F. 2.

Why was it the speakers failed to appear the 22nd at 7 p. m.? quite a crowd at the school house, but not a speaker present. Tobe, Dick and Harry have been gathering apples the past week; we know where to go for apples this winter, don’t we Dick? The boys all turned out to the literary Wednesday night, and re- port a splendid good time; debate good and paper lively. Sam says its all a mistake his house is not tired of bucking, but goes wil- lingly as he does and all know thats good. Jas. Carter says he thinks some of going to Altona or Holden in the spring, has not decided yet.
