CATCH MURDERER OF MISSOURI COUPLE, | W. £. Church is Arrested, is Traced to Philadelphia Thro’ Correspondence With Young Woman. REFUSES TO DISCUSS CRIME *hiladelphia, Pa., March ‘Traced to this city through a corres- pondence which he opened under an assumed name with a young woman who lives at the scene of his duel crime, William E. Chureh, a United States marine, was arrested to-day at the League island navyyard. He is wanted at Warrenton, Mo., forthe murder of his foster parents, Henry W. Yeater, and the latter's wife. The double crime was committed last August and robbery was the motive. Church was anxious to get posses sion of several hundred dollars which the couple had hoarded. They lived ona farm seven miles from Warren ton. Church murdered both his vie timswith a razor, which he used with awful effect. They were unable to defend themeelves, Yeater being an invalid and his wife feeble from il!ness 26 — and age, Chureh evidently attacked Mrs Yeater first, She had just retired for the night. He literally slashed her to pieces, her head being almost severed, while her hands were hang ing by shreds of flesh, Then heturn- ed his attention to the husband, whom he put to death in almost a similar manner, Following the kill victima h 7 e house, MEN SEEK REDRESS. | A WUURT ON WHEELS. | {Circus Outfit Usei to Administer Justice in Indian Territory. Suits for Breach of Promise Com- mon in European Courts. | Treveled Through Remote Districts of the Country and Deait Out Law—Record of the Trip. The “traveling court” has returned to Muskegon trom its trip over the western juaicial district of incian territory, and has 59 arrests and 13 commitments to jail to its creait. The trip of the “traveling court” is an innovation in the administration of jus- tice. On account of the inaccessibility of the removed districts, and the trouble in getting prisoners before commission- ers’ court, it was decided by Leo E. Ben- nett, United States marshal, to take a court with him and administer justice as he went along, an impromptu ar- rangement of “justice while you wait.” In July the “traveling court” started on its tour, and now it has returned, after having traversed 190 miles in three weeks, The camping outfit which was \car- ried by the “traveling court” consisted of three wagons, three buggies, one hack, five tents and 23 horses. Including the officials of the court, the teamsters, cook and camp followers, 20 men made up the caravan. When the court was in transit from one locality to another the natives, who were unac- quainted with its mission, might well have taken the court for a wagon min- strel show or a wandering one-ring cir- cus, The camping outfit was in charge of Mayshal Bennett, and, at his command, he had five deputies and four possemen, who arrested the culprits of the “wild woods” and brought them within juris- diction, The court proper was made up of H. A. Leekley, United Siates commissioner; O. A. Wise, his stenographer, and United States District Attorney Mellette. During the trip of 190 miles justice was dealt out with terrible effect, and, i many cases, with no little dispatch. Horse and cattle thieves were indicted and bound over to the grand jury, and the illegal sellers of liquor were dealt with summarily, “Rootleggers” and druggists were the principal prey of the “traveling court,” and it was against them principally that Cases as a Rale, Thouch, Do N ceed—Instance Where a Wo Was Forced to Pay for a Broken Heart. To students of heart affairs as they are } in the United States, a suit for breach of promise seldom has more than one meaning. Some young woman, feeling that her affections have been toyed with, is seeking redress in the courts. In Europe, however, it is not uncom- mon for a man to sue the girl who has jilted him. As a rule the suits filed by the men do not succeed, byt the dejected lover generally finds comfort in the fact that a publie protest has been filed against the fickle one who cast him aside. Sometimes, however, a woman finds herself mulcted for her inconstancy, though in such a case it may be taken for granted that there is an utter ab- sence of anything that the jury can con- strue as an extenuating circumstance. Hence the result of a breach of prom- ise action tried at the Birmingham as- sizes a few months ago created no small sensation. The fact that the plaintiff, Nestorious Marcus, was a native of Per- sia, and that he was of the impression- able age of 27, while the woman who re- jected him was only a few years less than double that age, invested the case with more than ordinary Interest. It appeared from the evidence that the Hilted one was a Christian and had come over to Edinburgh to study divinity and medicine. Fate ordained that there he should meet his divinity In the person of the defendant, who was a spinster of considerable mgans. She soon obtained sugh an ascendency over him that at her request he discon- tinued lecturing, which was his liveli- hood, and received money from her, The woman wrote several letters, in one of which she referred to her prospective marriage, On her behalf it was stated that the plaintiff had refused to become a British subject, and she objected to go to Persia and have to put up with the status of Persian women, But the British jury awarded her Asiatic lover the solatium, of $250 damages. Strange Woman Trying to Save Chicago Car Bandit Chicago, March 19.—Mary Ander- son, the mysterious and apparently wealthy young woman who haunted the court room during the trial of the »ar barn bandits, is striving to eave Peter Niedemier from the gal- lows. The young woman, who is as much a mystery to the lawyers as to the public, has comeforward with an offer to place $3,000, and more if needed, in the hands of Attorneys Bartlett and Irving to defray the expenses of an appeal. “I have interests at stake that I cannot explain,” she stated. “I am willing to give this $3000, or more if it is needed, to appeal Ntedermeier’s case, I want it understood that this is not sentiment.” Arrangements were then perfected to appeal the eae. Niedermeier, deserted by his frinds, with his relatives unable to raise the money, had abandoned all hope of an appeal until the girl came to the rescue. She never saw Niedermeier until she visited the court room. She carried flowete—red roses—to him in the jail twice during the trial. Saloonkeepers Are Liable. Springfield, Ill, March 20.—The appellate court, in a decision band- ed down yesterday, helds thatsaloon- keepers are liable for the death of the patrons who meet death while udder the influence of liquor sold them by the defendants. The case was that of Kate Algood, who was awarded $3,000 damages against William Botwinis, a saloonkeeper of tois city, for the death of her hus- band, Geo. Algood, who had been drinking in the saloon of Botwinie, and who, while on his way home in an intoxicated condition, fell from his buggy and received injuries which resulted fatally. Committed Crime That He Might Learn Trade. | stealing all the money and valuables. Then he fled, At the post office, a mileaway, he wrote a letter, an which he made known the fate of his vie tims. Although the letter wasstain- ed with the blood of the aged couple, the postal authorities at first thought it was a hoax, An investi gation subsequently revealed what had oecurred. Chareh, who is 22 years old, had beon adopted by the furmer’s wife when he was ? years old, He wasan orphan, and Mrs, Yeater took him from a reformatory institution to which he had been committed for stealing a watch from Mrs. Yeater’s brother-in-law, From St. Louis the fugitive wrote a letter to John Young, Mrs Yeat- er’s brother-in law, in which-he refer- red to the double murder and defied the police to arrest him. Later he wrote from Cleveland, where he en- listed in the navy last January, and aftercoming here a month ago, he began writing to a young woman wholivesat Warrenton. Thewoman told Young. He came to this city today and Detectives Lynch and Howard Gallagher went to the Long island navy yard, where they found Church, who was known as William Bucher. The prisoner refus- ed to say anything about his double erime. He will be taken to Missouri for trial as soon as requisition pa pers are secured.

Norfolk, Neb., March 26 —Reports from the scenes in Holt, Wheeler and Rock counties of the prairie fires yes- terday and last night indicate that they are still burning, but have been prevented from ravaging any of the towns in the territory which was burned over. The towne of Amerlia, Newport and Chambers, which were threatened, were saved only by a shifting of wind which drove the fire in an opposite direction. The flames shifted within three quarters of a mile from Chambers. Several ranch- men, among them Malmrose Dickson and Mandseon Fullerton, were burn- ed out, but the loss on live stock is not great. The fire was started ina feeding lot by a spark, atid has cov- ered a strip of territory twenty miles long and eeven miles wide. A short time before a Liverpool jury expressed a wish to deal with the plaintiff in a breach of promise action against a woman in a still more drastic fashions His counsel intended that the case should be fully gone into, but before the trial had been In progress many minutes the foreman of the jury intimated that he and his colleagues had heard enough of it. They forthwith proceeded to find a verdict for the comely defendant, one of the jurymen remarking that he would have been only too glad if he had had the power to mulect the rash plaintiff in dam- ages, by way of penalty for his temerity in bringing such a ridiculous claim into court. The result was that the ill-starred young man had to pay his own costs and those of the young woman as well. BANK FOR EVERY 200 PEOPLE. the United States marshal made his com-| paign. The officers had not been out long un- til their reputation was quick to travel, and when the advance guard of the “traveling court” made its appearance ina small town far removed, there wasan instantaneous hurrying and scurrying for cover on the part of illegal sellers of liquor. As soon as the caravan reached an ob- fective point camp was pitched {mme- diately. There was a tent courtroom and quarters for the camp followers. As soon as the court arrived the deputies would begin to scout for prisoners, and in a remarkably short time the war- rants would be served and the victims would appear before the impromptu bar of justice. NEW GLOBE-TROTTING RECORD A New York Man Tells of Journey Around the World Made in Less Than Fifty-Five Days. Radcliffe, Towa, with a Population of 800 Souls, Claims Record as a Fina jal Center. Henry Frederick, who left New York city on July 2 on the steamer Deutsch- land for a tour around the world, with the hopes of breaking the record for the shortest time consumed in circling the globe, returned to New York tue other night. Mr. Frederick had been suc- cessful in his endeavor, having made the circuit in 54 days, seven hours and 20 minutes. In speaking of his trip he said: “My object in making the trip was to see the quickest time a man could go around the world comfortably. The train ride from Paris to Dalny, China, consumed 18 days. Two days were spent crossing the Yellow sea, and two more by rail across Japan. At Yoko- hama I missed the steamer by- ten hours and lost seven days, as I was compelled to take a slow boat two days later which spent 16 days on the Pacific., I landed at Victoria and crossed the continent in a little over four days. This, with the Deutsch- land’s fast time of six days across the Atlantic, made my record of 54 days.” Mr. Frederick said that he found the line of the Trans-Siberian railway swarmed with Russian troops, who were being poured into Manchuria at the rate of 1,000 a day. ~~ At Port Arthur were concentrated 37 warships of all classes. In Japan he found the feeling for war with Rus- sia running very high and active prep- arations being made for hostilities. VALUE OF KISSES IN RUSSIA. ® Csar Has Original Ideas About Public Embraces—Fines for Various Offenses. “A banking institution for every 200 people” is a new record made by the village of Radcliffe, la., which probably holds the record of having more banks in proportion to its population than any other town in the United States. This town is in the midst of a thrfty German settlement, and, as ths class of people is noted for saving its money and making safe investinents, there has been per- haps more demand for banks than there would be in most localities. The town has a population of about 800, and four banks are flourishing and doing a nice business with the people of Radcliffe and surrounding country. Of «ourse, there is a rivalry between the banks that makes business brisk, and the bididng up on interest rates paid on time deposits makes it a good thing for the depositors, who are draw- ing as high as six per cent. at some of the banks. The bank buildings and the furniture and fixtures of these institutions are equal to those in many larger towns. MASTERPIECE TO BE RESTORED Tintoretto’s “Glories of Paradise” Taken Down, Black with Age, Will Be Touched Up. Under the direction of the Italian art commission at Venice, Tintoretto’s masterpiece, “The Glories of Paradise,” which adorned-the-wall-of—the—grand council chamber in the renowned ducal palace, has been taken down for restoration. So black with age has the picture become that the wonderful light and color effects which originally pro- cured it renown are no longer apparent. The great painter was 72 years of age when he limned this splendid stretch of canvas, nearly 70 feet long. = Tintoretto’s picture in its old position hid what remained of the exceedingly fine frescoes by Guarievti, of Padua, which date from the middle of the four- teenth century, and are consequntly just about 250 years older than Tinto- retto. These will now be touched up and at last exposed to view. ‘Where Legs Are Not Used. It ts reported that the dwellers in the Island of Papua are gradually losing the Kisses are actionable in southern Russia, but the many cases before the local magistrates prove that the little god of love defies law, as well as locks. A kiss in the street car costs the in- discreet osculator a fine of $3. To embrace one’s flancee in public is a privilege valued at $2.40. A dec- laration of “a great passion” by postét] card is subject to a fine of $2.40. The public must be protected, and the disturbing influence of such sights is assessed at a figure calculated to dis- courage youthful impetuosity. At Milan, Italy, 721 couples paid last Macon, Mo., March 21.—With the object of getting himeelf sent to the reform school, where he could learn atrade, Andrew Vandike, aged 16 years, stole $2 from a patron of his mother’s boarding house. The lad told his story to Judge Shelton this morning, and his moth- er corroborated him. She said her son had used the stolen money to buy a coat for a poor boy at Keota. Andrew said he wanted to learn a trade that he might be able to sup- port his mother. He was sent to jail for twenty days. Letter to Gough & Hess, Butler, Mo.

Malaria is not confined exclusively to the swamps and marshy regions of the country, but wherever there is bad air*this insidious foe to health is found. Poisonous vapors and gases from sewers, and the musty air of damp cellars are laden with the germs of this miserable disease, which are breathed into the lungs and taken up by the blood and transmitted to every part of the body. Then you begin to feel out of sorts without ever suspecting the cause. No energy or appetite, dull headaches, sleepy and tired and completely fagged out from the slightest exer- tion, are some of the deplorable effects of this enfeebling malady. As the disease progresses and the blood becomes more deeply poisoned, boils and abscesses and dark or ope spots appear upon the skin, When the poison is left to ferment and the microbes and germs to multiply in the blood, Liver and'Kidney troubles and other serious complications often arise. As Malaria begins and develops in the blood, the treatment to be effective must begin there too. S. S. S. destroys the germs and poisons and purifies the polluted blood, and under its tonic effect the debilitated constitution ee ged bgp grvne and the system is , soon clear of all signs of this depressing disease.
