Harriett Howard, of 209 W. 34th, ¥ board, ofthe county. Instances have come , McPherson, Kan., Jan. 25.—Chas. Tuxhorn, a wealthy farmer living fourteen miles southwest of this place, smothered his sons at anearly | hour this morning and after burning bis barn, set fire to his home and perished in the flames. The crime was not discovered until daylight. The bodies of the two boys, 6 and 10 years old, were found in the orchard of av adjoining farm. They were covered with a blanket. In the ashes of the house were found the bones of Tuxhorn’s body, all that | is almost shure to be, “An oil paint- remained. Tuxhorn has had a great deal of domestic trouble. He is eaid to have treated his children so cruelly that the boys ran away from home a short time ago as a result of asevere beating. The arrest of Tuxhorn followed’ this episode and he was placed under bond to keep the peace. Tuxhorn also had much trouble with neighbors. It was feared at first that Mrs. Tuxhorn and an infant child had suffered the sume fate as the boys, but they were found at the home of Mrs. Tuxhorn’s sister where they had epent the night. ne Tuxhorn was 4 man of aboutforty years of age. His father drove his family away from home a few years ago and burned his house and barn. Neighbors who came to keep him from destroying the property were held at bay with a shotgun for several hours Then Tuxhorn went into’a cyclone celler and committed auicide. He was worth several thou- eand dollars.

Ask the average person what man- ner of a picture it is and the answer ing.’ Even with close inspection this opinion will still prevail and unless one’s eyes are unusually strong, 8 magnifying glass will be necessary to see that the picture. is not 8 painting, but made with needle and silk threads. In fact, it is a spe :imen of a lost art practiced filty years ago by persons with artistic tendencies and with the ability to dextrously handle the needle. It was made by Miss Clara Bingham, daughter of General Bingham, whom reputation was made by painting “Order No. 11.” Miss Bingham pre- sented the picture to the senate in 1862. When Miss Bingham made the picture she was a girl in her teens. She afterward married Thos. B. King, @ soo of Governor Austin King. She died at Stephenville, Texas, in 1891.

They are just what you fessed to embezzling the board’s funds. Anticipating an impending investigation accounts, which he knew would re- veal the ciserepancies, L sngton visit- ed Librarian Fredrick M. Crunden at nis residence, 3947 Washington avenue, on Sunday last and made a full statement Later he made a written’ confession, which was sub mitted to the board ata special meet- ing of the board Wednesday. ln his confession Langton, who lives in Webster Groves, pleads the burden of a large family and the support of invalid relatives as the reason for defalcation. He could not make an honest living, and keep out of debt, he says. He hasa wife, aix children and an nged mother to sup- port. Aninvalid father and sister | also lived with him prior to their death within the last few years. Langton is 40 years old. His salury for the last two years has been $2400 a year. Previously it was much less, though fora number of years he has been paid $125 a month or more. They Avoid Lawyers. . Washington, Jan. 21.—Judge J. E. Talmadge of Salt Lake, a Mormon but not a polygamist, testified at the Smoot hearing on the organiza- tion of the church.

He played with death and lost. Apoplexy,due to excitement over the game, was the cause of hisdeath. Winfred T. Durbin, retiring govern- or cf Indiana, in his annual message to the legislature recently, sald con- cerning political corruption; “The time time has come for the applica- tion of drastic remedial measures to the plague of corruption which is fastening itself upon our politics. We have in Indiana advanced legis- lation for the protection of the purity of the ballot, but the statistics of political debauchery in this state for 1904, if it_were possible to present them, would be nothing short of as- tounding.
