The hack driver, immediately upon hearing the first shot and without stopping to investigate, started for the police station. In two or three min- utes he heard a second shot. Both Are Dead, When the police station was reached both occupants of the carriage, sitting upright on opposite seats, were found to be dead The cause of the murder and suicide has not developed. E. H. Darrow and the woman came to the Arcade hotel in this city on Oct. 10 and registered as “E. H. Darrow and wife.” They went away, but returned again Satur- day, and yesterday afternoon they started fof the Milwaukee station os- tensibly to take a train for Sioux Falls, the home of Mr. Darrow’s son.

Darrow, and they removed to Belle Fourche, S. D. Letters were found on the dead wo- man’s person unsigned, apparently from her husband, indicating that they had had trouble, but protesting undy- ing love for her and saying that the writer was dying of a broken heart. The dead woman had no children. Relations Were Improper. E. H. Darrow’s home was at Lead, S. D. His wife lived with a married daughter at Sioux Falls. Members of the family had long suspected the re- lations between E, H. Darrow and his son’s wife were improper. but there was nothing to indicate the occurrence of such a tragedy. INDIAN TURNS WHITE. Result of a Serious Illness Hawk Had About Two Years Ago. Pierre, S. D., Oct. 17—A delegation of Crow Wing Indians was in this city yesterday for a conference with Con- gressman Burke in regard to claims for land payments for land located in Spink county, which they assert the government never paid them for. They brought with them the original of a treaty which was made at Fort Look- out, with the Yankton and Teton Sioux in 1825. Among the whites who signed this treaty were many who afterward became noted for their work on the frontier, among them H. Atkinson, brigadier general; H. Leavenworth, colonel; S. W. Kearney, major, and William S. Harney, lieutenant. One of the party had with him a_ silver medal which was presented to his father in 1817, and bore the name of James Monroe, president, as the donor, Among the party was Hawk, or as he now signs his name, Howell C. Hawk, who was a government scout under Gen. Sully, for which service he re- ceives a pension from the government. Two years ago he had a serious illness, and as a result of that illness his hands and face are turning white. Spots on his head are changing and are covered with snow-white tufts of hair.

Sioux City, lowa, Oct. 18. — It de veloped yesterday that E. H. Darrow of Lead, S. D., who shot and killed Mrs. W. E. Darrow, his daughter-in- law, and then killed himself, had for some time been insanely jealous of the woman, and that he killed her because he feared another suitor for her affec- tions might win her from him. The verdict of the coroner’s jury was that the woman had died at the hands of Darrow and that Darrow had commit- ted suicide. George EB. Darrow, who is studying dentistry in Meage and who is a son of the murderer, testified, but professed no knowledge as to the il- licit relations between his father and Mrs. W. E. Darrow. The theory of the police is that Darrow was insanely jealous of the woman, or that he had decided, because of his financial con- dition, that he and the woman should die together. Strength is given to the latter theory by certain sentiments found written in the notebooks of the couple. They had little money, $3 be- ing the total found in the man’s pock- ets and 75 cents in the woman's. DIETZ DODGES SHERIFF.

PITCH DOWN AN EMBANKMEN1 TWO ENGINES AND ELEVEN CARS LOADED WITH GRAIN PILED IN A HEAP. , Oskaloosa, Iowa, Oct. 17. — Five trainmen were killed ‘yesterday at Seaton, Ill., when a heavy double-head- er freight train, east-bound, on the lowa Central railroad, ran into cattle on the track at a speed of twenty miles an hour. Both locomotives and eleven freight cars loaded with grain and lumber were piled in a heap be- side the track. Both engineers and both firemen were killed, also a brake- man. The engineers lived several hours after the wreck occurred, but the oth- er three men were killed instantly. A cow was lying on the track be tween the rails. She Was Hidden From View by other cattle standing about. At the sound of the whistle of the ap- proaching train the standing cattle scampered away; but the forward locomotive struck the lying cow. The animal was crushed under the wheels of the pilot truck and rolled along the ties for a hundred feet. The animal's blood made the rails slippery and pieces of bone threw the front lo- comotive from the track. The de- railed locomotivé pitched down an embankment, drawing the second loco- motive into the ditch, where the two machines piled up, crushing the engi- neers and firemen. Car after car crushed itself on the hot mass of metal and the Wreckage Caught Fire from the live coals of the locomotive fire boxes. The conductor and rear brakeman, with persons who lived near the track, hastily took the mangled bodies of the trainmen from the burning debris and saved the rest of the train from the flames. Brakeman Morgan was driven into the earth beneath the end of a box ear. Fireman Briley was found dead, but apparently unwounded, beside the tangled steel of the locomotives. En- gineer Summers was caught in the cab of his locomotive and cooked by steam and water from the boiler. He lived several hours although large pieces of cooked flesh fell from the bone.

I ht she would lose her right ear. It had turned black and her face was like a piece of raw meat, and very sore. It would bleed when I washed hér, and I had to keep cloths on it day and night.

Mr. and Mrs, Billtops Both Surprised by a Question Put by Mr. B. “What is chocolate made of?” asked Mr. Billtops of Mrs. B., who was at the moment engaged in sawing up a block of chocolate, preparing to make fudge. “Why,” said Mrs. Billtops, “it’s made of some—of some—I don’t know what it’s made of. It grows.” And Mr, Billtops didn’t say anything but it dawned upon him suddenly that that was about as near as he could have come to telling what choc- olate is made of himself, and no near- er. What he didn’t know about choc- olate, as he now realized, would fill a nice little booklet, if not a great big book. A Neglected Opportunity.

Analysis of Medicines Open to All. “There is no public demand and there is not the slightest public neces- sity for a law compelling the publi- cation of the formula of proprietary medicines,” says the Committee. on Legislation of the Proprietary Asso- ciation. “Every Health Commissioner and every Pure Food Commissioner in the country, as well as every pri- vate physician or chemist, if he pleases, has the right to make an analysis of any proprietary medicine and to publish the result and to tell the public what he thinks, and there is nothing in the world to prevent such action. But that is not what the agitators for such legislation want. Their object is to destroy the sale of such remedies entirely.” HAVE YOU TRIED PEPPER POT? Something Doing in the Eating Line if You've Not. “No gourmand can afford to hang up his hat until he has been to Barba- dos and partakes of the ‘pepper pot,’ said J. W. Smith of Havana. “It is the culinary piece de resistance of the West Indies. Like the olla podrida of Spain, the Scotch haggis, the polenta of Italy, and other national dishes. it deserves special consideration, for it is in every way an excellent and savory dish. It is a stew, the basis of which is a vegetable preparation called casaripe, a thick black syrup prepared from the casava root. This stew has for its foundation a fowl and a piece of pickled pork. But it becomes the daily recipient of any stray pieces of meat which might otherwise be wast- ed, and the earthen pot which con- tains it is always kept simmering on the hearth. It is, in fact, the ‘pot au feu’ of France, with a delicious flavor peculiarly its own, due to casarope ‘and the large African pepper. You needn’t expect any fish at Barbados, for nature othitted rivers when it con- structed this one of the Windward island, and the sea fish (barracoutas, snappers, etc.), are not of the best quality, but the pepper pot is worth @ voyage over the Caribbean.

A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by coffee says: “I have been a coffeedrinker all my life, and used it regularly, three times a day. “A year or two ago I became sub- ject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of nervous headache and general ner- yous prostration which not only in- capacitaed me for doing my house- work, but frequently made it neces- sary for me to remain in a dark room for two or three days at a time. “I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them was able to give me permanent relief. “Eight months ago a friend sug- gested that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troubles and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice for my health has been entirely re- stored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary headache in all these eight months. No more of my days are wasted in solitary con- finement in a dark room. I do all my own work with ease.
