The clothing we make is
not the common ready-made
sort. It is really best com-
pared with custom work, and
whether it be an. inexpensive
suit for business or a finer one
for dress, the cut and finish
would do credit to any tailor.
We do not try to see how
cheap we can produce clothes,
but how excellent we can
make up our garments to be
sold at prices always moderate
when quality is considered.
See us before ordering a
custom suit or overcoat.

A Farmer’s Wife Brutally Murdered
by an Unknown Fiend.
ROBBERY BEGOT THE CRIME
I'he \Voman’s l-luad “’as Mashed Into a.
Jelly and the liluody “'ork Finished
Up with Bullets—She Must Have
Made 3 Di-sperate Struggle. I
MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Oct. 16.-Mrs. Ame-
lia Gregory, the wife of Noah Gregory, 8.
well known farmer, was butchered in a
most horrible manner by some unknown
person. Mrs. Gregory was alone in the
house at the time and her husband and his
hired man were at work in the fields.
When the Httle son of the couple came
home from school he found his mother lying
upon the floor of the dining room, her head
a mass of battered flesh and bone. He ran
shrieking to the field. The farmer hurried
to the house to find that his Wife had been
cruelly beaten to death. The police were
notified and a search revealed that the
house had been ransacked. N0 clew of the
murderer has as yet been obtained.
The Theory of the Murder.
It is believed, after an investigation by
the coroner and doctors, that the follow-
ing was the plan of the murder: The thief,
knowing where Mrs. Gregory’s money was
kept, entered the house unseen, secured
some money kept in asmall box on the
top shelf of a cupboard and a pocketbook
from a bureau drawer. In his search
everything was thrown into great confu-
sion. Mrs. Gregory, who was in the kitch-
en, finally heard him and hurried into the
sitting room. The robber turned to strike
her.
She ran back to the kitchen. He fol-
lowed and crushed her skull with a blow
on the back of the head. She made a des-
perate struggle and they clinched. He
knew that she knew him and that he
must kill her to save himself.
He drew a revolver and fired into her
face and ear. A 32-caliber bullet hole
showed the path of the bullet under the
car, through the throat and out under the
other car. Another bullet was embedded
in the head. The face was filled with pow-
der. Her left hip was fractured and the
nose crushed in. Her hands were also torn
and scratched in the struggle. The mur-
derer left bloody stains all about the room,
and on the hitching post were traces of his
horrible deed.
She Made a Desperate Fight.
Detective Elwell was soon on the spot,
and the authorities at once told him to go
ahead and spare no expense in discovering
the murderer.
A man in the neighborhood who had
been heard to say that “the Gregory’s had
lots of money in that old house,” was ar-
rested and taken to police headquarters,
where he was questioned closely. He was
released, however, asnothing was adduced
that cast any suspicion on him.
An impression of a footprint on the
stoop and a. few hairs taken from the dead
woman’s hands, which she had evidently
torn from his head in the struggle, are the
only means of identifying the murderer.
His hands and face must have been torn
and terribly stained, as there was every
evidence that the woman had made a des— '
perate fight for her life.
Mrs. Gregory was a woman about forty-
five years old, tall, graceful and with a
pleasant face. She was the mother of two
sons. Her husband and children are much
prostrated by the murder. No pains will
be spared to discover the murderer, and a
large reward will be oflered. Sheriff J ohn-
son is on the ground endeavoring to ferret
out a clew.
Hamilton Is Surely Dead.
. BLACKFOOT, Ida, Oct. 16,—The mystery
that surrounded the death of Robert Ray
Hamilton, who was reported to have been
drowned in Snake river, Wyoming, has
been cleared up. The body of the drowned
man was disinterred and positively identi-
fied as that of Robert Ray Hamilton. The
surgeon who accompanied the coroner
from W'yoming to the Sargent ranch to
exhume the remains reports that the ex-
amination was made, that the remains
were unquestionably those of Robert Ray
Hamilton, and that he came to his death
by drowning. A coroner’s jury heard the
testimony and rendered a verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts.
Two Deaths from Typhoid.
BORDENTOWN, N. J., Oct. 16.-—George
Mendenhale, the second victim of typhoid
feverwithin four days, is dead. He was
the son of Clinton Mendenhale, president
of the common council and head of the
Union Steam forge. For the last three
years he was a student at Rutgers college,
New Brunswick. Alonzo W. Deacon, a
hotel man, died frOm the same disease,
aged forty—six years. HoWard Keen, son
of an Officer of the Pennsylvania Railroad '
company, is very low with the fever.
Anxiety About Russell’s Party.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.—Much anxiety
is felt for the safety of Lieutenant Russell
and party, who were sent out by the Smith-
sonian institution to explore Mount St.
Elias. Russell and his men were to have
met the revenue cutter Corwin at Yakatt
Sept. 1, but when the Corwin went there
Russell did not appear and a searching
party sent out failed to find any trace of
him.

THE HOEY—SPOONEB DEAL.
Criminal Proceedings May Be Brought
by the Adams Express Company.
NEW YORK, Oct. iii—The new develop-
ments in the Adams Express company’s
ifl’airs make the case against the deposed
officers of the company somewhat more
complicated. It is now known that nei—
ther the ex-president, John Hoey. nor the
ex-vice president, Clapp Spooner, has
owned a dollar’s worth of stock in the
tompany for the last three years.
- This was found out when it was decided
To prevent the transfer of stock which was
supposed to be standing in their names on
[he books of the company. The revelation
was a surprise to the new officers, and
They were at a loss to know how such a.
thing could have gone on without being
known.
At the office of the company it was said
that an attempt would bemade and that
quickly to try to recover the large sums of
money which the syndicate had secured
from the Adams Express company. Suits
will be begun immediately, and while the
company has little hope of recovering any-
thing from Mr. Hoey, there is good
grounds for the belief that a judgment
can be secured against Mr. Spooner which
can be collected.
The new officers are convinced that the
irregularities are extensive, and that large
sums of money have been illegally taken
from the treasury, which should be re-
turned. and which will be if there is any
power in the courts to force a restitution.
The question of criminal proceedings
has not yet been gone into, but it is the
opinion of the new management of this
company that they can be instituted, and
the old officers be punished. It will not
be many days before both Mr. Spooner
and Mr. Hoey will be served with the first
papers in the suit against them, and an
effort will be made to bring about a speedy
trial. .
In regard to Henry C. Taft, who was
said to be implicated in the Boston Dis-
patch and the Kinley Express deal, it was
said that Mr. 'l‘aft’s removal was decided
upon, and it had been effected with as lit-
tle fuss as possible. His services were no
longer desired, as he was not the kind of a.
man wanted under the new management.
Our Indian Recruits.
WAsIIINGTON, Oct. 16.—-Brigadier Gen-
eral \Vesley Merritt, commanding the De-
partment of Dakota, says in his annual
report that recruiting Indians for the
United States army, which has heretofore
progressed satisfactorily, is now seriously
interrupted by the action of the Indian
bureau at Washington. He says, “The
reduction of rations by the Indian depart-
ment is said to be in direct violation of
the authorized statements made by re-
cruiting officers, that is, that the absence
of an Indian from his tribe and reserva-
tion in consequence of' his enlistment is
not a. severance of his tribal connection,
and he would thereby in no sense forfeit
his rights to lands, annuities and benefits
granted his tribe by law or treaty.” Gen-
eral Merritt asks that these matters be
Qighted and that the Indians shall also re-
ceive rations as though they were not in
the army. Desertion among the soldiers,
he says, has decreased almost 50 per cent.
Baided by Outlaws.
‘ N ASIIVILLE, Oct. 16.—A band of outlaws
made a raid upon the little city of Alexan-
dria, Ky. The attack was made with
sticks, stOnes and revolvers. The residence
of William Suttle was first attacked, and
the onslaught was so severe that his wife
and two daughters were forced to flee from
the house. This was followed by attacks
upon several business houses and the
Chesapeake and Nashville depot. Much
property was badly damaged. The as-
saulting parties are unknown, but they
are supposed to be a crowd from the coun-
try who were on a drunken raid.
To Boom the \Vorld’s Fair.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16,—Within two weeks
Director General. Davis will start with a
special commission for Mexico to help
President Diaz get an appropriation of
$750,000 for the fair. Mrs. Potter Palmer
has consented to accompany the commis-
sion at the request of Mrs. Diaz. Potter
Palmer will represent the Chicago board
on the commission. General St. Clair and
Mr. Massey will also be of the party. The
party expects to be gone about three
weeks. Secretary Dickson, who will ac-
company thcm, has arranged for a series
of receptions in Texas.
Pearl LeCourt Gets Five Years.
BOSTON, Oct. 16.—In the superior court
Pearl I. LeCourt, who was indicted. in
June on twelve counts charging her with
attempting to poison her father and moth-
er by mingling arsenic with their tea,
pleaded guilty to the first count, charging
an attempt on her father’s life. Her coun-
sel and the district attorney agreed that
the prisoner was not entirely of sound
mind, but that it would be better that she
should go to Sherborn reformatory than
to an insane asylum. Accordingly Judge
Bond sentenced her to five years’ impris-
onment at Sherborn.
