Charges of Murder Against an Iowa Farmer, REPORTS OF LAST NIGHTS METEORS America’s Proposals to the Mon- etary Conference. OTHER TELEGRAPHIC BLUEBEARD UP TO DATE. An Iowa Farmer Suspected of Having Killed His Wives. Rivertox, Iowa, Nov. 24—Fremont county is excited over the mysterious death of Mrs. Wm. Mayhor. She lived with her husband on farm near here with two small children of Mayhor's wife by a former marriage. May- hor's fourth wife died some time'ago. He was then living near Axtell, Kan. and averted in the Kansas City papers for a housekeeper. Mrs. Erbeck of that, city answered the adver- tisement and was engaged. At the time she an- swered the advertisement Mrs, Erbeck was em- ployed as # bookkeeper for a Kansas City whole- sale house, and supported herself and two dren. Shortly after she went to Mr. Mayhor as his housekeeper she became his wife, they removed to a farm near Riverton. So ascan be learned Mayhor and his fifth wife lived happily together, although there are v rumors afloat of trouble between them. Mra. Mayhor, it appears, was subject to attacks of toothache, and, according to Mayhor’s testi- mony before the coroner's jury, she bad ex- rienced relief by the use of quinine. The day fore her death Mra, Mayhor secured froma Dr. Gougon of Riverton, a relative of her husband, asmall amount of quinine in bulk. This was Monday, October 24. ‘That day Mayhor filled ix capsules with the quinine and Mrs. Mayhor took three of them. On Tuesday evening, October 25, Sirs. Mayhor swallowed the other three capsules, was seized with violent spasms and died within an hour. It now developed that three former wives of Mayhor died under suspicions circumstances, and the coroner's examination of the remains of the fifth Mra, Mayhor disclosed traces of poison, but he adjourned the hearing until further evidence could be procured. It was shown at the inquest that there was an insurance of $5,000 on the life of the last Mra. Mayhor, and that it was taken out after ber riage to Mayhor. od NG “FALLING STARS." NEWS. SEE Observing the Comet and Showerd of Meteors. Dexven, Cor., Nov, 24.—The much-talked-of comet was viewed from the Chamberlain ob- servatory in this city lust night by Prof. Howe, Owing to the small scope of the glass nothing very defi- rned. The comet was visible, however, and exhibited « gascous apperrance, The direction in which it was traveling could not be | ascertained. Several meteors were seen failing during the night, but they were at great dis- tance. Curcago, Nov. 24.—Hundreds of meteors shot across the sky last night and the display was far ahead of anything of the kind seen here in) m cars. At the Kenwood observatory Prof. Hule counted 100 in twelve minutes, and he said that at some times they came faster than that. He declares that the star shower has nothing to do with the comet. Reports come from various points in the state of great meteoric displays, JACKSONVILLE, ILL., Noy. 24.—Abont 9 o'clock last night the people of this city who were out were so fortunate as to see a grand shower of meteors. and the sight will not soon be forgotten, It lasted nearly an hour, the sky being quite clear. . —_—— DEFINITE PROPOSALS PREPARED. ‘The American Delegates Will Present Them to the Monetary Conference Tomorrow. Bavsse1s, Nov. 24.—A statement has ob- tained currency here that the American dele- are not prepared to submit propotals to the conference when it meets tomorrow. resentative of the Associated Press is authorized to announce that proposals have been de- finitely formulated by the American dele- conference tomorrow. ‘There was some delay in arranging the proposals, but this was due to the fact that the American delegates came from different states and had no opportunity of con- | ferring upon the final adjustment of minor de- | onght tobe free, tails until they reached Europe. The proposals are in such form as to serve as the basis for practical discussion. Private meetings of the various sections of the conference are ‘proceeding today for the purpose of considering the information and Views that have been interchanged during the last two day: Loxpox, Nov. 24.—The stidden rise in the price of silver yesterday was due to the opera- tions of a group of speculators. Forty. Ines of rapes in drafts on India were offered for sale by the India council ‘The extraordinary amonnt of 318 laca were tendered. One tender of 190 Ines at the highest price absorbed the drafts. Indian banks and merchants had to go to the silver market to ‘buy enough silver to meet their reautrements. The price of the metal was thus driven up 6-16 pence. Various motives are attributed to the operators. One of «the reasons given is that their action was due to a trick of American silver men, who desired to boom silver with a view to induencing the action of the Brussels conference. Dealers doubt that the rise will be maintained, aa too much silver is being offered, nl6+tr No, 1215 F and 1214 G sts. cco RRR FRE ppp 1 TITT So far fe BB # eS EOE Eee Bow PAVES THE WAY TO COMFORT. ouR PEERLESS CREDIT SYSTEM Places Furniture and Carpets within easy reach of all.

There is a| very general feeling of this sort among the | good people of this city, and independent of | the religious duty involved it is a custom | which is generally observed.

After hearing about their duty as citizens the church goers then went home and did their duty toward the dinner which had been provided. AMERICA’S CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE. Dr. Brown at Foundry Points Out Many Causes for Thankfulness. Rey. Dr. Oliver A. Brown preached at. Foundry Church today from the text ‘The Lord is Good to All.” Dr. Brown spoke in substance as follows: We are assembled in this house of God today in accordance with the promptings of our thankful Learte as well asin compliance with the proclamation of our noble chief magistrate, who, though in deepest sor- row because of his recent ead bereavement, yet summons a sympathizing nation to grateful acknowledgment of the goodness of God in words which touched the hearts of all peoples. I congratulate you all on the return of this day. With perbaps one exception—the anniversary of the birth of our blessed Lord—around no other day of the year cluster so many tender memories and fond associations. The bapp¥ reunions, the grateful remembrances, the feast- ing, the mirth, the thankegivings, the warm, loving hearts it carries in its bosom, all make it 8 day whose coming is longed for while it is yet fature and not to be forgoeten when it is past. In the midst of its joy God always seems 60 good, man is so kind and home is #0 sweet, and now let us take up the strain of the royal min- strel, David, in which, while sweeping the harp strings, ho so often voiced the feelings of his grateful heart, “The Lord is Good to All.” WHY AMERICANS SHOULD BF. GRATEFUL. This declaration of the President is of uni- versal upplication, but is especially applicable to the people of thia nation, because we are in the enjoyment of blessings such as other na- tions have never known. But we cannot prop- erly appreciate, ands therefore will not be suf- ficiently grateful for, any of these blessings without first of all being thankful that we live. 1, Thank God for life, with all its opportuni ties and privileges and glorious ministries, This is the gift around which all other gifts cluster, and if to any,even in the humblest sphere, it ceeme a light bestowment then all other gifts are vain and such a life is not worth the living. 2. Thark God for onr land, and I know not where bencath the sun there is! more goodly land, or one better calculated as a theater for human activity and for the happiness and de- velopment of a great people. Brighter skies, and balmier air, and more genial temperature, and richer soil there may be, but these are not the conditions for the development of free and noble men. ‘They really weaken and enervate. ‘The greatest leaders and mightiest peoples ha: had their homes in the midst of broken but glo- rious scenery, when the climate was rigorous and the soil rew: faithful and patient | labor. Our land is rich in natural beauty and | posseses a charming variety of scenery. O: climate embraces nearly all temperatures. Th products of the soil differ with the diffe sections, and our industries, too, are widely different. As one country produces something which other countries have not so each section of our land bas its peculiar products and indus- tries which contribute to the comfort and hay pinesa of the whole people. While we Join in thanksgiving for life let us_also be grateful for a home in the fairest of all lands. LIneRTY. 8. Thank God for liberty. Life in a goodly land is much, but life and land and liberty are immeasureably more. To be able to cay “I am” is grand, but to be able to eay “Tam free” ‘agrander. The dream of the ages is a living fact in our own time and land. 4. We enjoy civil liber A few brave he- roie souls dared to conceive that men had rights; that God made the common people ax well as aristocrats; that all men had the iualien- able right to “life aud liberty. They dared | not only to conceive, but also to act, and in | their own blood, gladly shed for the tridmph of their just cause, they laid the foundation of the republic on this inimitable principle that | “all men are created free andequa ‘ight | ever was government planned | more wisely. Three generations have already | | tested it and they, with united voice, pronounce | it wise and safe and strong. New ideas have | been born and old ones bave died: educatton | and civilization have advanced; our territory | has grown wider and wider, our population has | j constantly increased, progress bas. been seen everywhere, and yet, yotwithstanding all changes, the system of government our fathers | adopted remains unchanged. 1t has been tried in peace and in war, and through ail it bas come unimpaired, not a star blotted from our | flag. |. & Wo enjoy religiousliberty. Religiousfree- dom as well as civil was that which our fathers sought and secured. ‘They well understood the evils of a union of chureh'and state. Side by side, therefore, with the seed of civil liberty they plunted the seed of religions liberty and | | watered them both with their tears and blood. | ‘The evils of this union in the past in other lands | are known to all who are convercant with his- | tory, for its pages are blotted with the records | of “the most vile enslavements and wanton | crimes committed under its name. In this country such a union finds no place, and today the church is more spiritual and_ the state | mightier because they are distinct and separate, | though one in love of country dnd in interest in the welfare of her institutions. LEARNING. 6. Thank God for learning. An intelligent | citizenship isan absolute necessity to a re- | public. Knowledge cannot be monopolized by the few as in despotism. Our fathers saw the need and made provision for it and laid the | foundation of the church and school house side | by wide, and in the years that have followed | everywhere throughout the land, upon almost | every inviting eminence, have’ been planted public schools free and open to all. By means of these intelligence and learning are being gen- erally diffused among the great multitude and by this general diffusion of intelligence among the masses will our “free institutions be pre- werved. 7. Thank God for literature. Literature is the great power of the modern world whether in books or magazines or the preas. It is mightier for the Cony and parliaments and kings. Fetter it you may, but the more it is bound the mightier it becomes. Fettered or unfettered it hasever led the way for liberty to victory, and eo long as its voice can be heard our rights are secure.

But the nation’s schools and other provisions for education are ways by which the truth en- ters in and establishes that reign of truth wherein alone all men can be made freemen. For ignorance is always a slaveholder and truth the only liberator. A few people jealous of their freedom will always guard sacrediy the highways of truth, which lie in a generous, free, broad education.
