Mich., June 11.—Prose- cutor Smith announced to-day that Mrs. Mary McKnight, who has been under arrest here for several days, has confessed to the poisoning of her brother, John Murphy, his wife and baby. The prosecutor said Mrs. Me Knight confessed voluntarily to him last night that she administered strychnine to Baby Murphy, Gertrude and John Murphy. A partial confession was made Monday evening, in which Mrs Me- Knight denied killing the baby. Late last night Prosecutor Smith again called at the woman's cell at her re- quest, and this time she made acom- plete confession. In her first state- ment she admitted giving Mr, and Mrs. Murphy capsules of strychnine and quinine mixed. Last night she said: “1 didn’t intend to harm any of them. I did give the baby thestrych nine. It woke up and cried while ite mother was gone and | mixed alittle strychnine ina glass with some wa- ter and gave a spoonful to the baby. I did not mean to harm the little thing at all. I confessed all to the Lord this afternoon and I feel that he has forgiven me. When Gertrude came home and found the baby dead she pot awfully nervous, She came to me and said, ‘Mary, can’t you giveme something to quiet me; some- thing that you take yourself,’ “Tsaid 1 would, and I really did not think that it would hurt if [gave her one of the capsules, She had spasms right after that and Teup posed that the strychnine killed her Then Jobn seemed to feel so badly about it that I thonght after Gerty died that it would be better for him to go, too, John was feeling bad one night a couple of weeks after Gerty died. THe wanted something to quiet him. I had three capsules on my dresser and | told him to get one of them, | thought that it would soothe him, and then I thought it woul | be for the best if he were togo, anyway. He helped himself. Then he went to bed and by and by called me. Mother came, too, and he be- gan to have the same spasms.” The whole of the confession was given voluntarily and Mrs. McKnight signed it after Prosecutor Smith had written it.

Albert Hurley, an old resident of Armourdale, was shot and killed by asoldier, John Maloney, company A, sixth infantry, on duty at Tenth street and Munsey avenue, Kansas City, Kan., at 5:30 last night. The soldier used a cartridge carry- ing two balls, both of which entered Hurley’s back, passing through his body. He was taken to St. Margaret’s hospital in the police ambulance and his wounds dressed by the attending physician, Hurley died at 1:45 o’cleck this afternoon. Hurley and wile had been at his home at 742 Kansas avenue all day cleaning out the mud left there by the flood, preparatory to moving back there. He left Armourdale about the mid- dle of the afternoon and went to Kansas City, Kan., leaving his pas+ through the military line {n his coat at his home. He was attempting to return to Armourdale without a pass when the soldier shot him, Councilman W. B. Thomas, who was notfar away at the time and saw the shooting tells the story ar follows: Hurley was riding in his buggy and had gotten across the railroad tracks running along Munsey avenue when he was halted by the soldier and ordered back, He refused to come and said he was entitled to go through the lines, and was going. The soldier made him turn back at the point of the buyouet, whereupon Uurley jumped from his buggy, and after cursing the sentry struck him with the whip. He was then placed under arrest and ordered to drive his buggy through the gate leading into th tield where Captain Taggart is en camped, He refused to pass through the wate and started to drive on uy Tenth street. The soldier shoutec ‘or him to halt, and upon his refusing to do so fired upon him. Up to a few months ago Hurley was engaged in the real estate busi uess in Kansas City, Mo. BANKER IS GONE; $280,000 MISSING Notes, Takes All Blame for Big Shortage. Birminghan, Ala, June 11.—The Bessemer Savings Bank has an- nounced that President T. J, Corn- wall has disappeared and that a shortage of $280,000 has been dis- covered. Three notes, said to have been re- ceived from the missing president, are given out: In one to the public, he says he lost the money trying to make back $42 000 he lost in a legitimate busi- ness transaction. He further exon- erates all the officers ofthe bank and takes the whole blame on himeelf. In a letter to his wife, which she was instructed to open this morning, he stated that he would not commit suicide but would arrange for her to be informed if he died. In a third letter, addressed to Cashier Cockrill, he states that he had nothing left for him todo but “wander on the face of the eartl or become a convict in the state mines.” The shortage will not affect the Birmingham banks. It is understood that a great part of the money was deposits of mer- chante and miners and employes of the rolling mills, furnaces and other industrial plants of Bessemer. The city of Bessemer will lose $17,- 000. The bank will probably not be able to meet a payment of morethan & very small percentage on ite depos- its. The bank was organized in 1891 with a capital of $100,000 and had deposits of about $260,000. President, in Farewell Federal Troops Ordered on Strike Duty ia Arizona.

Malaria is an invisible atmospheric poison. The air becomes infec- ted with the gases and microbes arising from the marshes and low lands, damp cellars, sewer pipes, badly ventilated houses and decaying vegeta- ble matter, and we unconsciously inhale them into the lyngs, when they are taken up by the blood and circulated throughout the oo. Malaria gives no warning of its ona no immediate effects are seen, and no violent symptoms ap until the unfortunate sufferer is ~ completely at the mercy of this hidden foe. This invisible enemy may be following us night and day, but often the first intimation we have of its presence is a chilly, creepy sensation running over the body, sometimes fSilowed by a slight fever, and an always tired, drowsy and depressed feeling. ‘The blood soon becomes deeply poisoned, thinned and weakened by the teeming millions of microbes and germs, and an irregular, slow circulation is the result. This condition of the blood gives rise to innumerable and serious troubles: torpid liver, enlargement of the spleen, loss of appetite and feeble digestion, a pallid or yellow skin, boils, carbuncles, abscesses, indolent ulcers and pustular and Loursvirax, Ky., March 26th, x * Por several years I suffered with Chills and Fever, | Scabby skin erup- caused by Malaria in my system, and each summer for tions of various ‘ several years I would relapse, Finally my physician pre- kinds, are common symptoms of malaria. ecribed S$...

THE SWIFT SPECIFIO COMPANY. ATLANTA, GA. Five Hundred Dollars For a Rasp- berry. About twelve years ago, when we used to keep a few chickens, says a writer in Country Life in America, I found that thirty raspberry plants had started to grow from the seeds of berries thrown to the chickens. The seedlings were so vigorous and promising that I allowed them all to grow. Que of them, No. 17, proved to be good enough to name, ané | called the variety the Herbert.” I propagated the plants and last fall sold a hundred for a good price. his spring | sold the entire remain- ing stock, 500 plants, for $450, The variety originated on my city lot. The canes are hardy, as they have frequently survived 30 degrees below zero, and if allowed to grow without pruning reach a height of 8 feet. The fruit is the largest of all red raspber- ries. It is very sweet and juicy, and I believe it is the very best for table use. It will bear twice the crop of either Loudon or Cuthbert under the same conditions and is five or six days earlier than the Cuthbert. Brooded Over His Defeat. Sedalia, Mo., June 10.—Juhn C.
