Kansas Town with Woman Mayor and a Woman Policeman. A Kansas town now has a woman mayor, a woman city marsuai auu a woman city clerk. The October Woman's Home Companion, in its "About People" department, says: "If Chicago's motto is, 'I Will!' the motto of Kansas seems to be, 'Why Not?' For example, no other town had elected a woman to the mayoralty; but the voters of Hunnewell, Kansas, saw in that no reason why they should not do so, especially if the woman happened to be the best man. And when they had chosen Mrs. Ella Wilson as mayor, she quickly justified their confidence in her vigor and independence. First Mrs. Wilson startled the community by appointing another woman, Mrs. Rosie" E. Osborne, city marshal, with instructions to preserve order, to clean house, and enforce the laws restricting the sale of liquor. Mrs. Osborne is six feet tall, weighs nearly two hundred and fifty pounds, and is said to fear neither man nor mouse. Mrs. Wilson also appointed Mrs. E. E. Hilton town clerk. Like many another reform mayor, Mrs. Wilson has found her city council in stubborn oDDosiition to her every move; but she is very popular with a large element upon whose moral and political support she depends to enable her to make good the second half of her declaration that 'Hunnewell is no worse than a lot of other towns?but is going to be better than most of them.' Mrs. Wilson owns a home in Hunnewell and several farms in Oklahoma and Kansas, and, as her husband is an invalid, has long been accustomed to manage her own affairs unassisted. She has two sons ?one twenty, the other fourteen years old." An Old Mule. The oldest mule in Tennessee is owned by Robert Mitchell, near Camden. This mule is 52 years old and still does a little work. He helped to pull the first steam flouring mill into the country 40 years ago. rses; DME A1 PRICES I t receive V V rlav loads ol ining pri Ve can p mage, a BA CUT WIFE'S THROAT.

"Just Wanted Another Scalp," Says Condemned Murderer. Folsom, Cal., Sept. 19.?Jake Oppenheimer, under sentence of death for murder, to-day killed Francisco Quijida, also condemned to die, with a piece of iron bar in the corridor of the prison here. The killing was the result of trouble that existed between the two men for months. x Both men figured in a recent attempted jail breaking and were sentenced to hang under a new law, which makes it a capital offence for a life termer to attempt to break jail. Oppenheimer is one of the most notorious criminals of the West. He has killed two men, figured in several jail deliveries and has been a most unruly prisoner. "I just wanted to add another scalp to my belt" is his only explanation of his deed.% After the attack in the corridor Quijida staggered to his cell and expired. The iron bar with which Oppenheimer made his murderous attack was wrenched from a prison bucket. Only a few days ago Quijida informed Warden Reilly that he would cheerfully meet his fate on the gallows if Oppenheimer was hanged "If they hang him first I will willingly put the noose around my own neck," he said.
