^ CHICAGO HORROR.
P'
BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN AS*
SAULTED AND KliiLKD
By a Brute In the Form of a Man
in the Barly Evening.
One of tho moat heartless crimes
that has Bhocked this country in
many years occurred In Chicago about
two weeks ago. Mrs. Hesste Hollister
30 years old, tho wife of Franklin
C. Ilollister, one of the printing tirm
of Holilster Brothers, one of the lar
gcst concerns of its kinds in the city
was murdered by Richard lvens, 24
years old, who had attempted to assault
her. The body of Mrs. Hollister
was found lying on a pile of stable refuse,
in the rear of tho lvens residence,
at 368 Beldeu avenue. Around
the neck was twisted a line copper
wire. Death had been caused by
strangulation. lvens wno had pretended
to lind the body and had reported
the feet of the murder to the police
confessed to the crime a short
time after he had been taken Into
custody.
Ills statement to the police, ineflect
was that he was at work in his carpenter
Bhop, which stands but a short
distance from the place where the
body was found Tuesday morning
and that when Mrs. Ilollister passed
by he attacked hor and when she resisted
he draped her Into the carpenter
shop and killed her by twisting
the wire around her neck. He then
went home and remained there all
night. Tuesday morning he went to
the barn obtenslbly to perform
some work, and pretending to tind the
body rushed Into the house and reported
to his father, and later to the po
lies that the body of a woman was
lying on the heap of refuse near the
barn.
lvens in his confession claimed that
he was drunk at the time of the crime
but this is denied bv his own mother
who says that he came into the house
aud ate his supper while perfectly sober.
At the cOLclusiou of the coroners
inquest which was held late in the
v day, a verdict was returned holding
lvens to the Criminal Court without
bail. During the inquest lvens remained
seated and apparently showed
uj interest in the proceedings.
When he was called* upon by the
coroner to testify ijhia unconcerned
manner and deliant tone caused great
indignation among tho men in the
room, and after the inquest was over
\V. C. llolllster, brother-in-law of law
of the murdered woman, made an effort
to shoot him. Hollister was making
his way toward Iveus, revolver in
hand, when an otllcer caught sight c f
the weapon and grabbed Hollister.
Other policeman came to the otlicers
aid and Hollister was compelled to
leave the place.
Judging from the appearance of her
clothing Mrs. Hollister had made a
desperate fight before she was killed,
ller long hair was tangled as if it had
c teen punea violently ciown; ine rront
' of her silk waist hart been torn open
and the glove of her right hand was
missing. Three rings, which sue usualiy
wore on this hand were gone.
Other small articles of jewelry, which
she had worn at the time of leaving
the house had been taken. Mrs IIol lister
was a woman of great personal
charm. For years she had been noted
as the possessor of a voice of extraordinary
beauty.
Tlie Moral I.aw,
Andrew Hamilton, the life insurance
lobbyist, declares that of the $800,000
expended by him in his lobby work,
not one dollar was expended contrary
to the moral law. It is fortunate
for the country that the Hamilton
idea of morals does not generally
prevail. The idea that the use of
money to debauch legislatures and
corrupt judges is not contrary to morals
would, if generally accepted, make
government a farce and reduce the
people to abject slavery. There was
a time when many thoughtful men
believed that the Hamilton code of
morals poevailed generally, but recent
developments prove that, af
all & majority of the people are honest
and will Insist that public business
be honestly cared for. It required
a long time, and multiplied perse
cutlons, to arouse the people to a
realizing sense of the fact that the
Hamilton code of morals prevailed
in high financial circles, but when
they were finally aroused they took
.apoietfy action with the resu't that a
great many men who had long posed
es statesmen, patriots and "defenders
of national honor" were exposed to
public contempt. The Hamilton code
of morals will bo ably defended by the
Amalgamated Association of Porch
Climbers, the Hurglar's benevolent
and Protective Association, the
Sandbaggcrs" Mutual Association,
and kindred organizations. Put it will
be scored by men who believe in the
moral code handed down upon Sinia
and who are trying to live upright
and pure lives.

FOR CALHOUN MONUMENT.
D. A. It. Aika $125,000 A?>i>roi>rla
tlon of State legislature.
Yorkville, S. C., Jan. 15, 1900
We the underslged, representing the
Kings Mountain Chapter 1). A. K.
Yorkville, S. C., wish to call your attention
and that of your readers to a
work which we have inaugurated, and
In which we beg your cordial help and
co-operation.
It has long been a source of regret
and mortiticatlon that South Carolina
has no representative In the national
statuary hall of the capltol at Washing.
This statuary hall was the old
hall of representatives; It was the
scene of the debates of Webster, and
Clay, Adams, Calhoun and others
whose names are Indelibly associated
with the history of congress.
In 180-1, at the suggestion of Senator
Morrel of Vermont, the room was
set apart as a uational statuary hall
to whioh each state might send
tae elligies of two of her chosen sons
In marble or broDze to be placed permanently
here." No South Carollniain
ever views those stately statues, erected
bv practically all the states of the
Union In memory of their chosen sons
without wondering why our own
place has been .so long empty and
wishing that wo to could Dolnt with
pride to a representative occupying
the space allotted to South Carolina.
The Kings Mountain Chapter is desirous
of starting a movement to remedy
this Ion# standing neglect. We
have written to every woman's organization
in the state asking them to
join us in petitioning the legislature
to appropriate at this present session
the sum of $25,0000 (twenty live
thousand dollars) for the purp( s) of
erecting a stature of John C. Calhoun
in the national statuary hall in the
capltol at Washington. We regard Oal
houn as South Carolina's most representative
man; ho was forty years the
most conspicuous and inliuential figure
in national politics he was representative
senator, secretary of war
secretary of state and vice-president.
We do hope that you will give us
your support and help in tills work
We wish through your paper, to ap
peal to every South Carolinian, men
and women, to honor tills draft UDon
your patriotism, and beg them to respond
to the efforts we are making to
have our b/loved state lake her rightful
place In the halls of the nation.
We shall be exceedingly obliged If
you will give this letter a place In the
column i of your paper.
Very respectfully,
Mrs Virgina Mason II rot ton,
Miss Maggie A. Gist,
Miss Leslie 1). Witherspoon,

The Macon Telegraph says the
South Carolina cottou growers, having
adopted a resolution for a reduction'of
acreage hy 25 per oent.,
J except on 10 acre farms, it is recmmended
that che farmers adopt alf&l
fa as a substitute crop. Last voar it
( is recalled tbat the agricultural socio
. ty of South Carolina supplied a number
of planters with seed and otT red
I a series of prizes to those who would
engage in the cultivation. The experiments
in not less than 25 instances
have proved successful. It was shown
in one case that 50,0(^0 pounds of al
falfa could be grown upon a tract
i which by previoui test, would pr>
i duoeonly 10,000 pounds of ordinary
hay. If the farmers of the State generally
Bhall join In devoting the extra
land to this forage, the benetit would
be ir.calculable. The saving of the
expense of importing Western hay
would be very large. It has always
appeared Inexplicable tbat the
Southern farmer who can raise hay
should consent to buy it from Missouri,
Kansas or other States. Along
with raising of hay comes the enlarffPm*nt.

The organization "f sons has employed
Gen. C. Irvine Walker of Charleston

J. B. Mlxon, formerly of Hopkinsvllle,

by shooting, nis body was fouud
Thursday morning. He was .'15 years
of age and six feet tail, and light

in which was found olothing a.- d <ome
personal belongings, also a poM?v of
insurance for $10,000 in the New Y >rk

another policy for $15,000, accident

There was a bank bock showing
that $318.08 had been deposited in the
People's Bank of Pensacola, Fla. In
the suit case was also found a clip
ping from the New Orleans Picayune
of Dec. 20, 1905. This clipping was
dated Pensacola, Fla., Dec, 25, and
told of the robbing of Kress & Co.'?
store in that city of $800 and other
valuables, and saying that the store
was set on tire.
A dispatch from Pensacola, Fla.,
says J. B. Mixon, who committed
suicide in Henderson, Ky., was well
known in Pensacola, where he had
managed the Kress store for the past
three or four years. Just before
Christmas the safe was robbed and
the building in which the store was
located was ilred. The following day
Mlxon disappeared. Detectives have
followed him through California and
other Western States and it is said
would have arrested him Thursday in
Kentucky but for the fact that he
committed suicide Wednesday. It is
asserted that the woman in the case
refused to raarrv him *.nri thi?
the reason he took his own life.
Outrage In Bamberg.
A dispatch from ]lamb?rg to the
News and Courier says a dastardly attempt
was mad on Thursday night to
wrack the 7.42 west-bound passenger
train,from Charleston to Augusta. The
miscreants placed a heavy, thirtyfoot
railroad Iron directly acrosa the
track, a few hundred yards eaatcf the
depot and within the corporate limits.
Those who committed the crime seem
to have been inspired by no other motive
than mischief or malice, for the
point at which the obstruction was
placed Is within the town and in a
rather thickly populated section. It is
not thought that robbery could have
been the motive, for in c*se the train
j had been wrecked a large crowd of our
citizens would have gathered upon the
spot promptly, and thus frustrated
the desire. Fortunately the engineer
saw the obstruction in time po pre,
pare for it, and the only damage done
was a wrecked cow-catcher. As yet
there is no clew to the perpetrators,
but no expense will be spared to far
ret them out and punish them severly.

Senate he authorized to appoint a committee
of five Senators to investigate
the recent unfortunate incident in ttie
White House resulting in expulsion
from the executive ottlces of Mrs.

Ia representing the resolution
Senator Tillman said the question at
issue involves two vital propositions.
The first related to the protection of
the President from dangerous characters,
and the seeond the protection of
the rights of the people. He declared
to alieolufcely protect the President
would be to make him a prisoner. He
proceeded to say that in case of the
removal of the President he could be
replaced and "probably with a better
msn." "Put," he added, "*-hen the
liberties of the people are d rstroyed

The Lake County Herald, published
at Painesville, Onlo, directs an open
letter to Lake county's representative
In the state legislature. It was reported
that this representative had announced
that he expected to receive a
railroad pass during his service, and
would accept and u-esi c i a p.'vss. The
I Herald di^cta attention to the fact
tnat this member of the legislature Is
presumed to act as the attorney in
the state legislature for the people of
Lake county, and that ho will bo required
to vote on important railroad
legislation. The Herald pleads with
this representative to rejeot the pass,,
and to stand an a free representative
of public Interests In commenting
on the aliove The Commoner says the
appeal is a good one, and it is hoped
It will be heedsd. Trie free pass Is one
of the great evils of the day, and no
public otlicial is in a position to discharge
his duty to the people If he
places himself under obligations to
the corporations. The battle against
the free pass is not a temporary striu/
- ~ o
gle. Unless we are prepared to confess
that popular government Is a
farce, that battle will not oeaae until
the paas has been abolished. In the
meantime let It be understood everywhere
that a free pass In the hands
of a pubhc official Is a badge of shame.

President Roosevelt Thursday sent
to the Senate the nomination of Ernest
F. Cochran, of Anderson, to be
United States attorney for South Carolina,
thereby displacing John G. Capers,
against whom charges were tiled
before the Department cf Justloe.
The charges were investigated by Attorney
General Moody, who decided It
would he better not to recommend Capers'
reappointment. The Attorney
General had his attention called to
the conduct of some cases in South
Carolina and came to the conclusion
that their management was open to
! criticism. Cochran was not a candidate
for United States attorney. He
was at one time assistant attorney
under Capers, but resigned some time
ago His appointment to succeed Capers
will make him a likely candidate
for United States judge of the newdistrict.
