C. The Picnic Crowd of 1903. Hoora Throat Cut. Early Wednesday night the police were called to the house of Mrs. Ma liala Uutton, of East Jobuson avenue the call sayiner that Mrs.

Button's. throat was cut as the result of a row with (Jaorce Seltzer. It seems that Seltzer and Mrs. Hutton have been Hying together for some time and have had frequent quarrels in which he has made threats of taking Mrs. Hutton's life.

The quarrel grew out of a little family trouble that night. Seltzer lost his temper and presumably tried to kill Mrs. Hutton. Seltzer used a keen edged knife and cut a deep gash in Mrs. Hutton's throat, extending from the left ear beyond the jugular vein partly cutting the outer vein.

The woman bled profusely and was thought for a time that the wound might prove fatal. After the cutting Seltzer took to his heels and when last seen was hitting a rapid pace west on Johnson avenue. Mrs. Uutton is divorced from her who is now in Colorado. Seltzer has been in trouble before and is well known to the officers.

It Is said he has threatened other women in the neighborhood. Miss Ida May, of 1117 Washington avenue, says Seltzer has threatened her similarly. Dr. Cowan was called to dress Mrs Hutton's wound which is not consider ed dangerous. To Work In Territory.

Began Fighting at Daylight Sunday. Soledad, July 20. At flye o'clock Sunday morning the engage ment between the government forces and the revolutionists occupying Ciudad Bolivar began In two different directions. The revolutionists opened the battle. At six o'clock the smoke over Ciudad Bolivar was so thick that was impossible to see the city.

At seven o'clock the government troops, after a terrible fight, In which they lost more than 100 men, captured the cemetery. At eight o'clock the Venezuelan fleet, consisting of five men-of-war, shelled the government building at Ciudad. At ten o'clock the revolutionists flag had disappeared from the government building and at 11 all the streets near that building were captured by the government forces and a charge of all the government soldiers in the city was ordered. The wounded were then beginning to arrive at the government headquarters from all directions and the fight was general; but the movements could not be followed from here in consequence of the smoke caused by the fire of the artillery of the revolutionists which seemed formidable. It was answered vigorously by the gov ernment guns and only a few shots reached the fleet.

At two in the afternoon a block of houses opposite the government building was captured by the storm. The scene after the smoke cleared away, was heart-rending. There were over 200 dead revolutionists in the streets, not counting the wounded. KILLED FAITHLESS HUSBAND. James Rice.

Ex-Marshal of Lamar. Met Death White Forcing His Attentions on a Widow. Mo. Lamar, July 20. Ex-Marshal James.

M. Rice was fatally shot at the home of Claude Fast, in the eastern part of this city, by Bert Cochran. The two men were rivals for the af fections of Mrs. C. E.

Martin, a widow. Rice, although a married man, had long been paying attention to Mrs. Martin. Cochran had won her love, and Rice, becoming desperate, sought Mrs. Martin at the home of her daughter-in-law and threatened to kill Cochran and the woman if he was compelled to give her up.

Rice, although ordered away irom the bouse by Mrs. Fast, sought first to reach Mrs. Martin by climbing in the window. He left, but showed up at the door. Here the two men met, each making threats.

Finally Rice tore open the screen door and caught hold of Mrs. Martin and tried to drag her from the house, when Cochran shot him. ACROSS CASCADE MOUNTAINS The Harrtman Interests Secure a Railroad Entrance to Puget Sound by Way of Spokane. Tacoma, July 20. D.

O. Mills, a director of the Harriman railroad system and controlling owner of the Bellingham Bay British Columbia railroad, has formally ordered an ex tension of the Bellingham Bay road across the Cascade mountains to Spokane. It will there connect with the Oregon Railroad Navigation line, now running from the main line at Huntington to Spokane.

The distance from Spokane to tidewater will be 295 miles, 19 miles shorter than the Great Northern and 50 miles shorter than the Northern Pacific.

The terminals on Billingham Bay will be 1Q0 miles nearer the Pacific ocean than the Northern Pacific and Great Northern terminals at Tacoma and Seattle. COUNT CASSINI DENIES. Bom lan Ambassador Says Wo Agreement Has Been Reached Regarding the Open ing of Uaochurlan Ports. Paris, July 20. A representative of the Associated press has had an interview Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador to the United States, who is here spending part of his leave of absence.

'He said: "It is not correct, as cabled, that I arranged with Secretary Hay, before my departure, the question of open ports in Manchuria. It is true that Hay called on me June 28, hut it was a friendly visit and entirely unofficial. The Manchurian ports were mentioned during our con versation, but no definite arrangement was completed. The conversation was quite cordial, friendly; but it did not go beyond that. I however.

that a mutually, satisfactory" understanding regarding Manchurian. question will eventually be reached between the two governments. But I re NO of RIGHT TO DELEGATE POWERS. The Vatican Secretary of State's Assumption of Extraordinary PrivUeges by Direction of the Dying Pontiff Begarded as Presumptuous in View of the Physl-' cal and Mental Condition of the Prelate. Paris, July 20.

The exceptional character of the action of the pope in, according to the dispatches from Rome, delegating part of his powers to Car dinal Rampolla, has attracted consid erable attention in Paris and has been strongly criticised by an unnamed but well-informed cardinal, a non-resident Rome, in an interview as follows: "Senile infants are no longer ponlifex maximum. Yesterday Rampolla announced that most extensive powers had been conferred upon him. By whom? The sacred college? It has no power while the pope breathes. The pope alone is capable of delegating such powers; but in order to do so he must be in a position to act with intelligence and Dr. Rossini, an eminent physician, bears witness to the fact that Pope Leo is adorable, but his speech is that of a child.

What are the powers conferred on Rampolla? They are evidently spiritual. It is not known how far they extend. The eminent secretary of state is about to renew his entourage by cutting down the inconvenient trees and planting insignificant bushes in their place. To assume such a responsibility, to risk such a danger is an act of courageous devotion to the church, because if the new plenipotentiary does not come to an understanding with tbe Camerlengo all the plantation will be torn up on the morrow of the pope's death. History furnishes no precedent for the delegation of powers in articulo mortis." CHICAGO TO CELEBRATE.

The One Hundredth Anniversary of the Bollding of Fort Dearborn WU1 Be Appropriately Observed. Chicago, July 20. This city is making elaborate preparations for the coming centennial celebration, which is to partake of the nature of an immense carnival. This is to occur in the fall, September 26 to October 1. It was just 100 years ago that Fort Dearborn, the first white man's structure on the present site of the city, was built by the United States government.

The principal features of the celebration will be military and civic parades (in one of which the city's commercial progress will be at night by artistic il luminated floats), field and aquatic sports, and a great fireworks display. interesting feature will be a camp representing the aborigines who used to frequent the. woods that aforetime fringed all the lower end of the lake. It Is expected that President Roosevelt and other notables will visit the city to participate in the celebration. Energy all gone? Headache? Stomach out of order? Simply a case of torpid liver.

BAD DIGESTION Imperfect digestion is more serious and far-reaching in its effect than is generally understood. This state of health is like an open gate-tray to disease because germs that may be in the air vre breathe at once seize such an opportunity to attack the vital organs. They slowly undermine the strength and energy, and a collapse comes usually at a time when a strong healthy body is most needeu.

Is a fine regulating tonic which filters through Jhe body, casting out injurious matter, stimulating the digestion aud nourishing and strengthening every weakened part. It also purifies the blood, sharpens the appetite and creates energy, la this way it restores the system to perfect order.

When the ap pointed time came the complaining witness was not on hand, and the case was dismissed for lack of evidence.

The matter didn't stop there, thbngh. Justice Newton was not satisfied with turn affairs had taken. He therefore taxed the costs of the case amounting to about $25, to Passwater, and issued an execution for him. Constable Peters Friday afternoon went to the house which had been occupied by the Passwaters on South Twenty-first street, and levied tbe furniture found there. A determined effort will also be made for Passwater and get an explanation of conduct, which rather savros of compounding a felony.

There has, been a question raised as to the power of the officers to bring him into court, in view of fact that he never was subpoenaed, although the complaining witness in the case. Early Corn Is "Made." The alternation between intense beat and showers the past week has furnished ideal weather for the corn, and everyone who has been out through the country says that immense doesn't begin to describe it. It is claimed by agricultural authorities of Parsons that the early corn is made now and that it would have to be a remarkable combination of untoward circumstances which would inflict serious damage up it. The rains have interfered a little with the farmers who were cutting or threshing wheat and oats, but they have been able to put in their time watching tbe corn grow while they were kept away from the other work. The quality of both wheat and oats is said to be good, although tbe yield is rather below the average.

One thresher who was in town Thursday said that the fields where he had worked ranged from 6 to 16 bushels per acre, but the quality of tbe grain was good almost every case. The School Board.

Judeon Dixon, who killed William Farmer at Mattbewson on June 24 ib. will have to stand trial on the charge of murder in the first degree at the term of the Labette county district court. His preliminary was held Wednesday before Justice J. D. Scott, and after the state's case had been drawn out the defense waived further hearing, and to his being over in the sum of $5,000.

Bond was immediately given, with E. 'It. Stevens as' surety, and approved by the The outcome of the hearing was rather a surprise. It had been expect- ed that Dixon would make a bard fight to secure his final release at this time, as his attorneys claimed to have ample evidence to establish the plea of self defense. The evidence offered for tbe state was not particularly unfavorable to that theory, but the sole desire of the defense at this time seemed to be to learn the strength of the state's case, and diurng the noon recess, after the state had rested, an agreement was between the attorneys.

Dixon's mother and bis brother, George Dfxon, were here from Butler, to attend the hearing. They return to Butler Thursday, and were accompanied by Jud Dixon and his wife, who will probably remain there until the case comes up for trial. Joseph Farmer, father of the man who was killed, also returned to his home at Ralston, O. Thursday. The hearing commenced promptly at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.

"The state was represented by County At torney E. Burton and his deputy, E. O. Ellis. Mrs.

May Farmer, widow of the murdered man, was the first witness- for the state. She told the story of the killing in detail, with very few differences from the story which was told at the coroner's inquest. She told of the quarrel which arose between Dixon and Farmer while Farmer was harnessing the horse, the ownership of which was the cause-of the entire difficulty. She claimed to be ignorant, however, of the condition of affairs regarding the horse, and did not know whether it was paid for or not. She stated that she had not heard her husband say that he was going to take the horse with him if he had to take Dixon's scalp to do it.

According to her statement the quarrel at the of the wagon, while Farmer was harnossing the horse terminated in Dixon's calling Farmer a liar, whereupon Farmer picked up a neck yoke from the ground and struck at Dixon with it. Dixon caught "the blow with his hands, and a struggle for the possession of the neck yoke followed, in which Farmer was victorious. She testified that after her husband regained possession of the neck yoke Dixon ran, with Farmer after him, and that she ran out of her tent and after them; that after they had run as far Us tbe distance across the street, Dixon turned and fired two shots at her husband in rapid succession. The witness was uncertain as to whether her husband had the neck yoke raised at the time the shooting occurted and was also unwilling to make an estimate of tbe distance between the two men at the time. J.

D. Jones, city marshal of Parsons, was the next witness called. He told of Dixon's surrendering to him and handing him a 33 calibre revolver, with which he said he had shot and killed a man. Witness produced the revolver, which was offered in evidence. Dr.

C. Eockhold was next called. lie testified that he had examined the body of Farmer and found two bullet wounds, one through the right arm above the elbow, and the other one entering the breast just inside the left nipple. This ball was lodged between the back ribs. It had passed through the heart and lungs, and was the cause of his death.

He testified that the bullet in his arm was about two inches nearer the elbow where it lodged than where it entered; that the wound might have been inflicted when the person shot had his arms raised, the pistol being held rather low, or if the arm was held at the side when the shot was fired the pistol must have been held considerably higher. The wound in the body ranged upward about three inches. He further stated that he saw no powder marks on the body or the shirt, and that he saw no blood on the body at or near the place where the fatal wound was inflicted. After taking the testimony of these three witnesses, the state rested its case at 11:30, and an adjournment was taken until 1 o'clock. Business Collet Picnic.
