Near De Kalb, last week, Fannie Watts killed her husband, William, with an axe because he had threatened to kill her. Helena, voted last week not to have a new city charter. The saloon and gambling elements defeated the proposition.

The will of Daniel B. Fayerweather, whose millions go to colleges and hospitals, has been admitted to probate in New who has studied the course of events in Chili, arrived in this city to-day. "The present revolt and the manner in which the warfare is carried on," said Dr. Edwards to a "cannot surprise anyone who is at all familiar with the Chilians as they call themselves. Chili is.

nominally a republic, but practically it has long been an oligarchy, governed by thirty or forty rich and influential families. While the rising is nominally one against the president it is in reality directed against the system of which he is the representative, and while the personal causes of complaint brought matters to a focus, they had little to do with the origin of the troubles. The army and navy are now in close sympathy with the people and together they seem to control the situation. As to the ruthless slaughter of prisoners and non-combatants it is only carrying out the rules of the Peruvian war." KANSAS MATTERS. The Time to liny.

There is much in public print, and ho been for several months, to indicate that the valuable property known as the state of Kansas and comprising 52 million acres more or less, is for sale. Mr. George Alfred Townsend in an? cent letter has stated that one loan company in Kansas has 15,000 mortages to foreclose. It is true that parties in Kansas who aro in position to know are ignorant of the exist ence of any company in Kansas that con-trols half that number of mortages, but the word has gone out, not only from "Gath" alone, but from Askelon and a hundred other points, that Kansas is to bo "closed out," and it is the part of wisdom to prepare the minds of buyers and seller alike in order that tho sale may go off a satisfactorily as possible. Tho property is really very desirable.

The fact that the late legislature mado provision for an exhibition of tho products of the state at the great Columbia fair at Chicago may have conveyed tho impression that Kansas has nothing to show. It: 1S7G when the resources of tho state weru scarcely known, and under an appropria York. Pari, March 2S. Since the capture of Bill Huggins and most of the members of his gang February 5, and the killing of Aleck Davis and the capture of Bill Poe on the 17th officers have secured information that shows Huggins' connection with at least four murders that have heretofore remained a mystery. On July 9, 1S90, Aleck Handlin was shot from ambush about thirty miles west of Purcell, whil3 driving along the road with his wife.

She drove sixteen miles to the nearest house. Soon after the opening of Oklahoma an old German and his son and a man named Casey fell out over a claim and one night they were called out and shot down. A year or two ago the office of the Santa Fe railroad at Horton, in the Cherokee strip, was entered. No other house was near. The agent was shot and the station robbed.

The agent leaned over his table and while his life blood ebbed away tapped this message: "Help; am dying; station robbed." Evidence is now accumulating that will undoubtedly prove that Huggins, who is well known as an outlaw, committed all these murders, and three others have been partially developed besides these against him. Huggins is only 22 years old and all of the members of his gang are young men. Sr. Howard Crosby Dead. New York, March 31.

Dr. Howard Crosby died at 5:30 p. m. Sunday at his residence. His end was peaceful.

As the bells were ringing1 for Vesper service of the Easter day he asked by sign for paper and wrote a few lines to his loved ones, to the absent son and daughter in Egypt and the three members of hi3 family at home. The first word3 of this, his last writing, were: "I know I have to go." Dr. Crosby's position on the prohibition question during the past six or eight years, has brought upon him the severest of criticism and made his name familiar in almost the remotest household in the land, though he found few followers among religious classes. The winter wheat crop in the south of Russia is very unpromising. Small farmers are in a hopeless condition in consequence.

In more than 225 cases of supposed hydrophobia dog-bite treated at the Pastuer institute in New York, not one death has occurred. Fire at Austin, destroyed Mc-Henry's commercial hotel. Mrs. McTavish, a domestic, Jack McCarty, a boarder, and an unknown man were burned to death. There are over 1,000 grip cases in Dubu A ITIatla murder.

Vienna, March 27. A dispatch from Enormous Losses. St. Louis, March 27. Dispatches from New Mexico report a great deal of distress among cattle, sheep and other live stock in that territory.

Representative Frank Hubbel, who has just returned to Albuquerque from his ranch, near the Zuni salt lakes, Socorro county, tells a distressing story about the condition of the sheep. He has lost in the past few months over 80,000 head from freezing and starving, and also reports that the loss is general among all the heavy sheep owners. The weather has been cold, and the ground covered with snow so that the sheep could not eat. He says he has never experienced such weather as the last two months. A Slick Counterfeit.

Washington, March 30. A sensation has been caused at the treasury deparment by the discovery of a counterfeit two-dollar silver certificate so nearly perfect in all its parts as to be almost impossible of detection. Heretofore all counterfeits of paper currency have been readily detected by the failure to imitate the distinctive character of the paper on which government'otes are printed, which is so each part of it forming a complete note contains a small silk thread running through it lengthwise. This paper is for the first time almost perfectly imitated in the counterfeit just discovered. It is estimated that there are nearly $40,000,003 of these notes in circulation, and the problem before the treasury department is how to get them back into the treasury and to substitute a new series without serious embarassment before any considerable quantity of the counterfeit notes get into circulaiion.

This was the subject of a secret conference at the treasury department this afternoon between Secretary Foster and the leading officials of the bureau of engraving and printing. La Grippe's Germ Found. Chicago, 111., March 23. Dr. William D.

Gentry, of this city, claims to be the possessor of a microbe of la grippe, the first ever captured or even heard of. The little wriggler is imprisoned on the glass sides of Dr. Gentry's big microscope and was carefully inspected by many a scientific eye. Ever since the grippe made its appearance a year ago, the doctor said he has been on a still hunt for the microbes, if any existed. He found that thirty -four years ago, and again sixteen years ago la grippe was epidemic among human beings, and seven years ago it attacked horses, causing the still remembered 'epizootic." Owing to the recurrence of the disease, Dr.

Gentry was 9 inclined to believe that the earth at such intervals passed through a stretch of space impregnated with what astronomers call "star It occurred to him that he might trap some of the dust, or microbe, or whatever it was. Carefully polishing a blank slide, he took it out doors and passed it through the air. Placing the slide under his microscope, which magnifies 1,170 times, he counted seven heretofore unidentified microbes in the field of the There Was Bribery. New Orleans, March 26. It is evident that the grand jury is getting deep into the bribery business.

In fact persons in Kufstein, a fortified town of the Tyrol, on the Inn near the Bavarian frontier, brings news of a murder by a Mafia conspirator. From the few details received from the scene of the tragedy it appears that a well known merchant of Kufstein, whe was upon the point of entring a railroad car at that place, was suddenly confronted by an Italian who plunged a stiletto intc the merchant's breast, killing him almost instantly. The Italian, who turned out to be workman employed in the neighborhood, was promptly arrested and from the investigation subsequently made by the police authorities it seems that the Italian was a member of the hideous Mafia society and that he had killed the merchant in mistake for a compatriot who he had been detailed to kill for some real or fancied wrong done to the Mafia society, for which the prisoner's compatriot had been condemned to death by one of the Mafia secret tribunals. The murder of the merchant oi Kufstein has created considerable excitement and there is a feeling of dangerous indignation growing against the Italia secret society. authority say with an air of mystery that there will be some sensational developments before the end of the week.

The sensation will doubtless be the indictment of a prominent party not hereto-fare mentioned ia connection with the unsavory part of the case. There have been no Mafia threats within the last few days, although Mayor Shakespeare's wife is said to have been stopped on the street by several Italians and threatened with the destruction of her home and family. Delay In Opening Oklahoma. 1 "Washington-, March 81. It is probable that the lands recently purchased from the Indians in Oklahoma will not be thrown open to settlement until next fall.

It is the present purpose of the department to open the four reservations as nearly possible at the same time. Since the last allotment cannot be concluded until about the first of September, the surplus lands are not likely to be thrown open until early in the fall. It is believed that about the middle of September will be the date, and by that time the lands will be in readiness and the settlers who enter upon them can put in their fall crops and be ready for early farming and the spring. Cable Cars and a I'reisht Collide. Chicago, March 30.

A Baltimore Ohio switch engine pulling a heavily loaded train of freight cars collided with a State street cable train at the Sixteenth street crossing. The grip car and first railer were demolished and sixty passengers had a most miraculous escape from a terrible death. The engine struck the grip car in the middle and the fifteen occupants were hurled through the air. If the cable train had been ten feet further across the tracks the loss of life would have been appalling. No More Silver Dollars.

"Washington-, March 30. Director of the Mint Leech said to-day that after July next It was probable no more silver dollars would be coined but silver certificates would be printed instead. Congress has given the secretary of the treasury power to recoin about 2,500,000 of the subsidiary coin now in the treasury and that too would probably be done as soon as possible after the beginning of the next fiscal year. A Fraud In Rellzious Guise. Indianapolis, March 30.

Investigation to-day shows that Henry C. Borg, the alleged Franciscan monk who was baptized into the Christian church last night, is a fraud from Louisville who has been doing a thriving business as an "apostate," being utterly impartial as between denominations in bestowing his faith. He has probably been baptized in more different styles than any other man in America. A Peddler's Fatal Call. Nashville, March 31.

News has been brought to this city of a killing in "Williamson county. It appears that a Hebrew peddler stopped at a farm house on an isolated road, and without the knowledge or consent of the woman who was at the moment the sole occupant, entered the room where she was at work with her back to the door. The itinerant colporteur dropped his pack on the floor and the noise of the fall startled the woman, who looked around suddenly and seeing a strange man standing just behind her was frightened into a fainting fit. The peddler stooped to pick her up, and at that moment the farmer appeared on the scene. Seeing his insensible wife in the arms of a stranger he seized a billet of wood and brained the intruder at one blow.

The wife, when she regained consciousness, was greatly shocked at the tragedy, and stated that she did not think that the dead man intended her an harm. A Minister Slain. Sofia, March 2S. While Premier Stam-buloff and M. Baltcheff, minister of finance, who had been walking together, were about to enter their official residences, a man suddenly confronted them with a revolver and fired three shots point blank at M.

Baltcheff, who fell dead. The Assassin succeeded in making good his escape, owing to the darkness. No motive has been suggested for the murder of the minister of finance, but it is presumed that the conspirators may have intended to take the life of Premier Stambuloff, but that in the darkness of the evening they mistook M. Baltcheff for the man they had marked as their victim. Brokers Without Patriotism.

Fredericksburg, March 81. George W. Shepard, who owned the ground on which the tomb of Mary Washington, mother of George Washington, is situated, gave to Colbert Keitly, real estate brokers, an option on the property. The brokers at once advertised the tomb for sale at public auction in Washington. This aroused indignation and Mr.

Shepard notified the brokers that he could not give a clear title to the ground. Thereupon they withdrew the advertisement and a suit for $20,000 damages was instituted. The decision was in favor of Shepard. Bogus ITIoney Wanted. March 27.

Three farmers living in Wright county named J. W. Oliphant Peter Brill and J. R. Rowe were arrested yesterday on the charge of using the United States mail to get counterfeit money.

According to the evidence in the case the three men by some means were led to believe that the Williams Publishing Company, at Topeka, publishers of school books and bibles, were dealers in counterfeit money, and they wrote several letters to the company for the purpose of buying some of the bogus money. tion by the legislature, which, while nothing to brag of at tho time, now shlnea by contrast, the stato mado a display which) formed one of tho great attractions at th-3 Centennial. There has been nofalllnpoff in the fertility of Kansas soil slnco 1S70. It would bo most unjust to conclude to from the depreciation in the Whether Kansas docs or doc not n.ake a showing at Chicago cannot affect tho value of property itself. Tho real estate is accessible to examination.

Kansas lien open to the sun; it is not covered with swamps nor piled with rocks, nor must bayous be threaded or mountains or deserts be crossed to reach tho premises Tho country has been known familiarly to travelers and others for considerably over a hundred years, and has been settled for moro than thirty years, at least to the extent and effect that all tho facts in regard to Kansas soil and climate have been mado known to the world for that length of time. There aro no changes to be made In Kansas before it is fit for the habitation of men. Kansas has not to bo "reclaimed." God made Kansas substantially as Ho wanted it in tho first place. The crisis having arrived when wo ar assured every day and every hour in tho day that Kansas is to change hands, when hundreds of citizens aro to be "evicted" from thoir homes, it is no more than common business senso and prudence to call the attention of purchasers to Kansas as a field of investment. Attention, should be directed to the fact, however, that sale must be limited to citizens of tho United States.

The state legislature mado it unlawful for aliens to purchase land in this state, and took steps to compel such to dispose of tho property they now own in Kansas within three years. Prior to 1S91 a Kansas man had tho right to sell his land to whoever would pay him his price for it. It is not to bo inferred, however, that this restrictive legislation has its root in natural causes. Tlu soil of Kansas yields its fruit as plentifully under the ownership and cultivation of persons of foreign birth as of native citizens. Largo numbers of Swedes and Men-nonites, the latter born Russian subjects, have cultivated the Kansas prairies witU the happiest results.

It may bo safely stated that whatever the legislature may think of foreigners, the Kansas earth, when tickled, with a hoo, responds just tho same, whether a native or naturalized citizen has hold of tho handle; and it is believed that corn would grow even better if the cultivator had only declared his Intention of becoming a citizen. Tho property now offered for sale, or in any event to bo disposed of, has bem extensively improved. A system of railroad has not been merely laid out but completed, which traverses all parts of the stato. In some localities as many as three lines of railroad run side by side for miles together. No extensive area In Kansas is beyond sound of tho locomotive whistle.

Beside the railroad system, the stato has a complete outfit of brick school houses, iron bridges, and in fact everything that bonds can buy. Any further expenditure for public purposes need only bo in tho direction of tho ornamental; it is believed that everything useful has been bought. Now is tho time to look at Kansas; now in the spring. What will tho purchaser give for Kansas, not to sell again, but to keep; not to put up in a lottery "boom;" not to put up in a game of last-man-hold-the-bag, but to possess for his own! Hero are tho 53 million acres; not mountain, swamp, desert; but good land; so rich that a mortgage loan of $1,000 ha: been raised on tho poorest quarter section of it. What is to bo dono with itf A whole stato with all tho modern improvements Is not to be bought every day.

The purchaser can settle right down among all the conveniences, commercial, educational, literary and social, that any eastern community can afford. Now i unquestionably tho time to buy goods. There is opportunity for Investments in Kansas in various lines, the state has several kettles on the fire; oil, salt, sugar, silk and irrigation; besides real estate, but the great fact, is tho land Just tho common black dirt that raises corn and wheat. It is that stu.T which according to high authority is going to change hands: from which the present occupants aro to be "evicted" and which tho sagacious accumulator should jump on with both feet.
