11 SHOT B1 Woman's Refusal to , Marry Makes Man Desperate. SENDS BULLET INTO OWN BRAia Shooting: Connected With a Sensa tional Divorce Case, and Occurs oh a Principal Street of a Colorado City. PUEBLO, Colo., Oct. 30. An attempt to murder Mrs. Charles E. Cooper by Fred Hoberts, alias Arthur Edwards, of Salt Iake, at noon today, together -with Rob erts' death, by his own hand, on the pub lic streets a few moments later, added cnother chapter to a sensational divorce case. Only two weeks ago. after a trial of five days, Charles E. Cooper, -who has been for several years a clerk In a prom inent clothing house, secured a divorce irom Mrs. Cooper on the grounds of de sertion. The man who today shot Mrs. Cooper In the left side of the face and i killed himself was. named in the proceed- j mgs as a co-rcspendont. The jury, how ever, held Mrs. Cooper to be Innocent of Improper relations with Roberts. Roberts arrived from Salt Lake, where Mrs. Cooper had been living, only a few days ago. This morning he asked Mrs. .Cooner tn irn for n nr.ntl: t-?tVi him nri th streets. This she did. He askrd her to marry him. She declined to do this, whereupon h.e drew from his pocket ax45- turner revolver, nna tciu ner mat sne must die with him if she would not IJve with him. Without further warning, he fired a shot Into her head, and then fired the revolver Into his own right car, dying Instantly. The shooting occurred cn Santa. Fe avenue", near Ninth street. In the heart of the residence section of the city. Mrs. fCooper was taken into a near-by house and given surgical attention. The Coroner tcok charge of the body of Roberts, of whom practically nothing is known here. The relations between Mr. and Mrs. Cooper first came prominently to public attention several months ago. when Mr. Cooper went to Sail Lake and abducted his 9-year-old daughter, who was living with her mother. He brought her here, and Mrs. Cooper Immediately instituted habeas corpus proceedings In -the Pueblo court to secure the return of the child to her. Judge Vorhees put the child Into the hands of others, pending the termi nation of divorce proceedings, and the child Is, still In charge of the court. It developed that In a divorce case brought by Mrs. Roberts, the wife of the dead man, she had named Mrs. Cooper as a j co-respondent. . Sne was compelled, how ever, to withdraw the charge, and evi dence goes to show that, while Roberts was passionately in love with Mrs. Coop er, there was no ground for the accusa tion against her. DOODLER OX THE STAND. He Tells Hotv Delegates Combined to Control St. Loals Legislation. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30. The taking of tes timony In the trial of Edmund Bersch. ex-member of the House of Delegates, on the charge of perjury, began today before the grand Jury. While Philip Stock was on the sta-id, the ?7o,000 from the safe deposit vault of the Lincoln Trust Com pany was produced by. "Circuit .Attorney Folk, identified and counted. v Stock, who Is secretary of the St. Louis Brewing Association, testified that he was employed by "President Charles S. Turner, of the St. Louis & Suburban Railroad, to secure the passage of Council bill No. 44. He said he met John K Murrell, of the House of Delegates, in relation to the bill October 18. 1300. Murrell representing the House combine. Murrell proposed to get the bill through the House for 5,000, which, the witness testified, he deposited In the trust vKaults for Murrell. W. H. Lee, who was foreman of the December grand jury, testified thai In January an Insurance man named Bersch gave testimony before that body in Its Investigation of the suburban franchise bribery, but Mr. Lee said he was unable to Identify the defendant as the man whb had testified. The Bersch of that occa sion told the grand jury that he Knew nothlng about the .575.000 deposited In the vault, and never heard of it. Richard Hospis, cashier of the German Savings Institution, stated that Henry Nicholaus. Ellis Walnwright and Charles XL Turner had given notes to the Ger man Savings Institution for 575,030. and that this sum had been raised and turned over to Philip Stock. John IC. Murrell, who returned from Mexico to aid the state In convicting his former fellow-members of the House of Delegates combine, made his first appear ance as a witness this afternoon. The witness referred to the combine as "an association for the controlling of leglsla tlon." He said there were 19 members, and he named .the men. Including him self, who were; implicated by his confes sion of September 22. The association, he said, was formed early In the session. The witness said that the association talked about the price that would be charged for passing the pendjng suburban bill, and various sums wore suggested, ranging from 5O0.C00 to $103,000. Bersch, he said, was a high-priced man. Bersch suggested $100,000. It was suggested that some one be appointed to look after the matter, and Murrell was named. Mur rell said that he was Instructed to see Philip Stock and demand. $75,000, to be paid as follows: One thousand dollais down for each man, one-half the -entire Bum at the passage of the bill, and the other half on Its signature by the Mayor. F. E. Murrell, John Helms and George F. Robertson, ex-members of the Houso of Delegates, now under Indictment, were also placod on the witness stand. The state then rested its case. The defense thereupon filed a demurrer, on the ground that Bersch had no direct knowledge that the ?75,000 had not been deposited with the Lincoln Trust Company, and that all the evidence adduced was hearsay. The Jemurrer "Will be argued tomorrow. . TAX-FIXER MAKES CONFESSION. He Says Chicago Scandal Canscd Two Men to End Their Llvcx. CHICAGO. Oct. 30. The Dally News to flay says: Staters Attorney -Dlneen has learned from Luke Wheeler, the convicted tax flxer. all about the gigantic plot that col lapsed with the discovery of the Masonic Temple tax frauds. Tomorrow, unless the present programme is changed, Wheeler will go before the grand Jury, and in a formal declaration, under oath, reiterate the statements made to the prosecutor.-Wheeler's-confesslon places him In a new light, and, if accepted literally, removes from him the stigma of the charge of building up a defense with the tomb Btones of the dead. The conspiracy, or, rather, the series of conspiracies, drove two men to suicide, according to the con fession. According to Wheeler, the Masonic Tem ple .fraud wac merely incidental to an extensive series of operations reaching back Into the past, and made possible through lax methods, coupled with a de sire on the part of the responsible prom inent business houses to evade taxation. Mbreover, according to Wheeler's declara tion, the promissory notes he was placed on trial for forging were bona tide and legitimate paper. He said that a public .official at Springfield sought to blackmail the clique, threatened exposure and prose cution against ono In particular, and wor ried him into ending his life. The second suicide Involved in tho case was due. Wheeler says, to " fear that the fugitive (Wheeler) would confess -when he "was" brought back from Canada. FIRE AS SHIELD AGAINST CRIME.

A remarkable history of an illuminated ''cttcr of King Henry VIII was related qy the Right Rev. Monslgnor Corb'shlcy to the members of the Sunderland Antiquar ian Society on their visit to Ushaw Col lege on July 5. Among the numerous an cient manuscripts exhibited was a long parchment scroll, a letter of Prince Henry, afterward Henry VIII. beautifully illuminated, to the tutor of the Prince. A gentleman was passing through one ot the streets in the poorest part of Liver pool a few years ago, when his attention was drawn to a parchment roll mat a little boy waft using as a football.- On examination ho" found it to be a Latin Illuminated scroll. The parents of the boy could give no account of how they became possessors of It, except that It had "been in the family for many years and was only preserved because of the pictures oh it. It was of; no value to them", and they readily parted with It for a cum much more than they thought it was worth. The gentleman had the parchment cleaned and discovered It to be an auto graph letter of Prince Henry to his tutor. The date will be about 1500. It Is In. a wonderful state of preservation, the -coloring on the Illumination being bright and clear.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. SO. J. N. Irwin, of the Irwin Eros.' Commission Company, died at his home here today of Bright's disease. He was 03 years of age, and in the '50s was a freighter, making many trips from Atchison, Kan., to Salt Lake City. Later, Irwin and his brother held beef and mall contracts with the Govern ment, and made trlp3 to Denver, Salt Lake and Santa Fe, N. M. In 1S57, Mr. Irwin went Into partnership with his brother-in-law, and together they started from Atchlnson with a train of freighting wagons" bound for Salt Lako City. At Rocky. Ridge, Wyo., their train was stopped by soldiers, under the com mand of General Albert Sidney Johnston, then on their way to suppress the Mormon outbreak in, Utah. The brothers con tinued their journey as far as Fort Brldger and turned their stock over to Lexington, Klncad & .Co., of Salt Lake. They made two other trips with goods to Salt Lake, and for more than a year made their home at Salt Lake. But they came back In 1GG0, and for six years were freighters across the 'plains, making trips to Denver, Salt Lake City and "Santa Fe, N. M. They afterwards became Government mall contractors and contractors" for beef supplies for the Arm at the frontier posts. Later, they hauled grain to forts In the Indian Territory and New Mexico.

Forbes, of Atlanta, Ga., an Inventor and promoter of patents, Is dead here, at the age of 41. Where the Government Comes in. Washington Post. We have always believed that Gov ernment should prohibit these polar ex plorations, which would be ridiculous If they were not so terrible and tragic. The law frowns upon suicide and Incitement to murder why not upon adventures of this description, which in 50 years have borne no fruit but death and suffering? One thing Is clear to us, however, and that Is that in no event should the Gov ernment bestow fuither encouragement, even recognition, tleast of all by permit: ting Its paid servants to neglect their legitimate duties In the pursuit of chi meras or what, would be chimeras but for their commercial perquisites. The Government's part" in the exploration business has always been that of equip ping and paying for relief parties. It seemsf time to abandon that role, not merely because of the financial outlay in volvedfor that would not be worth con sidering If there were anything tangible to show for It but because of the moral responsibility the Government assumes in giving countenance to enterprises which are either abortions or calamities. Drawn from life by Lute Pease. SENATOR IN WASHINGTON ON A TRIP OF PEACE (Continued from First Pape.) tunlty, -to view the homes of the mine workers, and then tho entire party was bundled Info three small cars. What is known In the language of the miner as a "loklo," which is a small locomotive, drew the cars to the-No. 2 shaft, a mile distant down the valley. Here the com missioners had a little fun with one an other. As the mine was wet and dirty, the company officials provided rubber overshoes, overalls, jumpers anil miners' caps for the entire party. Judge Gray and Bishop Spalding were the first to don the uniform of the' miner, and good-naturedly took the remarks thrust at . them by their colleagues, asto whether they belonged to the union., The Descent Into the Mine. After the party had been- rigged out and provided with miners' lamps, which they elther carried in their hands or fastened to their caps, the descent of the 160-foot shaft was made. At the foot, or bottom of the shaft, the vice-president and anoth er member of the local union of the min ers' organization, who are employed In the mine, joined the party. The hospital at that point was inspected, and then the commissioners got into a train of six mine, cars and were hauled about a mile and a half underground In a southwest erly direction. Accompanied by Superintendent May, President Nicholls and one or two others, the commissioners went down a plane of what Is known. as a vein of coal, where they saw miners fire a blast. The vein runs Into the Clifford mine, adjoining the No. 2. In the Clifford, a few hours be fore the commissioners arrived, a Hun- I garlan was almost Instantly killed by the falling of the roof of the mine. He was doubled up, and, his lamp failing to go out, set fire to his clothes, almost roast ing him alive. The newspaper correspond ents were casually Informed of this fatal accident . before the commissioners went below, but the arbitrators were not in formed of the accident. ' .Arbitrators Have to Cravrl Ahont. The vein was explained to the commis sioners, who asked many questions of the miners working it. From there, they re turned to the main gangway and In spected an average vein, though It Is a veln about, six to eight feet thick. In going to some of the "breasts" the com missioners had almost to crawl. This was a particularly Irksome matter 'for Judge Grayt On the return journey to the top of the shaft, Bishop Spalding came across a Lithuania boy who was employed as a doortender. His face was black from coal dirt, but in the dim light of the lamp on bis cap the bishop noticed his hand some features. He asked the boy many questions as to his age, the character of his work, and the wages he received. The other commissioners also plied the boy with questions. Near the shaft, on the return journey, the car in which Judge Gray, General Wil son and Messrs. Clark and Parker were seated Jumped the track, and the four oc cupants were slightly shaken up. Miners quickly placed the car cn the track again, and started them off with a hearty good bye. The party reached the surface at 2:10 o'clock, after being underground for two hours and 10 minutes. A hurried in spection was made of the outside build ings of the colliery, and then the commis sioners were driven in carriages to their train. Light lunch was had on the ob servation car, and the commissioners then j' held a brief executive session, at which they discussed matters relatin? purely to the' further movements of tho arbitrators. The exact nature of the questions dis cussed was not made public, but Colqnel Wright, the spokesman of the party, said it was of no'.publlc Interest. Coal Breaker Is Inspected. The arbitrators had an Interesting time at the Coal Brook breaker at Carbonale. They went to the tbp of the great black building, and inspected all the machinery down to the ground. They were much in terested in the men and boys who are em ployed in picking slate and "boney" from the coal. From the breaker, tho now tired commissioners were escorted to the chute, where the coal fresh out of the mine is sent to the breaker by means of a "conveyor," an endless chain arrange ment of scrapers. It Is here that one of the principal bones of contention between the employes and employers is found. The minersr .maintain they are often unjustly docked by the docking bosses for the amount of slate, "boney" or -other refuse found In. the coal. The commissioners watched the work of the boss closely, and saw him dock several miners because, In his judgment, there was too much of the forelga matter in the car of coal. Bryden and Nicholls in Dispute. A few feet away Is the place where the cars of coal are weighed.. After the seven cbmmIs.iioners had watched the weighing of coal for a while, Mr. Clark inquired how many pounds constituted a ton at his colliery. Superintendent Bryden, of tho Ontario & "Western, thought it was 2SC0 pounds, but District PresWe'nt Nlch oll3 said, it was a little over 3100 pounds. The two began to dispute, each maintain ing he was light. Mr. Nicholls said that, granting that 2S00 was correct, these fig uros.are too high. He said when the com pany fixed 00 pounds to constitute a ton. so as to get out of it 20CO pounds of pure coal, the operators did not sell pea coal In the market. Now they have a market rur pea coal and about three sizes below, and the miners' ten of 2S03 pounds has not been decreased. Judge Gray was an interested listener to the, discussion. He stood by with hi3 hands deep In his pockets, and never uttered a word. It wrs t;ulte evident that-both men, Nich olls and Bryden, tried to make a good Impression with tne commissioners, but they expressed no opinion. While the dis cussion was on, the colliery whistle blew, and the signal was given for quitting, and then the Judge, broke in with "Weil', gentlemen. It is 5 o'clock, and I guess we y,-ill' have to stop work." This Interrupt tlon broke up what might have grown Into a heated discussion, as to how rfiany pounds should constitute a ton at the mouth of the mines, hcfor.e the coal Is cleaned. Programme for Today. The commissioners, after this incident, boarded the special train and reached the Hotel Jermyn here at G:30 o'clock. To morrow they will Inspect the Manville Colliery at Green R:dgc, just outside of the city. It is operated by the Delaware & Hudson and Delaware, Laokawanna & WestornCompanIcs. The colliery Inspect ed today -was selected! by the operators, and It is said to be one of the best In the region. The Manville colliery Is one of the worst, so far as thin veins of coal are concerned, and was selected by the min ers' representatives. President John Mitchell, of- the United Mlneworkcrs, came up from Wllke3barrc tonight. He was accompanied by Clar ence C. Darrow, of Chicago, who has been appointed by Mr. Mitchell as attorney to represent the miners before the arbi tration commission. The two had a con ference with several members of the com mission tonfght i?garding -the submission of testimony. They wanted to know how far an attorney could go in the presenta tion of the miners' case. Neither the commissioners nor miners representatives would say anything regarding the confer ence. Mr. Mitchell will return to Wllkes-barre. CURING BY SUGGESTION. Advantages of Psychology in Prac tice of Medicine. New York Tribune. Dr. Howell T. Pershing, of Denver. In the pages of the Journal of the American Medical Association, emphasizes the need .of Introducing psychology Into the course of study in medical colleges. To illus trate his point, he recites a bit of his own experience with suggestion. A patient said to have been given up by the East ern doctors and convinced that he was suffering from consumption, want out to Colorado for relief. When ho was ad mitted to the Denver Hospital, he spat blood, had a bad cough, breathed noisily and with abnormal frequency, and de clared" that his weight had diminished from 205 to 155 pounds. Careful examina tion showed, however, that his lungs were perfectly sound. He was then turned over to Dr. Pershing, an expert in brain and other nervous disorders. It ,was observed that the sick man also suf fered from weakness of voice, a dlmhess of vision in the right eye and a partial paralysis cf the right side. Convinced that these symptoms were simply the products of hysteria, the doctor resorted to expedients designed merely to appeal to the patient's mind. He prescribed a certain form of breathing exercise and the application of a little electricity. He also gave a dose of chloral to promote alcep. The next day the cough and blood In tho saliva were gone and the voice re turned. In a few weeks tho man gained 25 pounds In weight. A fortnight later there was a relapse, with new symptoms. The patient now exhibited a remarkable stiffness of one arm and leg. Another cure was effected, however, by manipula tion of the Joints and electricity, em ployed only to "restore confidence." The potent Influence of suggestion on the mind of an invalid Is already recog nized to some extent by most physicians. They often prescribe drugs which have a perceptible and possibly nauseous taste, but which are as innocent of medicinal value as a bread pill. Judiciously admin istered, these remedies achieve remark able results. The principle Involved is the same as that on which, without fully understanding It. a mother acts when she kisses the imaginary bruise of her crying child and 3ays: "There, now, it is all right again." Most doctors guard, too. against the baleful effect of certain other suggestions. When the revelation of his real condition is likely to prove hurtful, the situation Is often concealed from a patient, and he Is not permitted to know that friends .have come from a distance under the spur of grave apprehen3lpn. However, medical practitioners are not so familiar as they might be with-the men--tal operations which, for good or for ill, so often affect the welfare of their pa tients, and Dr. Pershing's recommenda tions concerning a more systematic study thereof are not amiss.

I am now on my fourth bottle, using it for so-called In curable consumption, and I feel like a new ma,n. I think that if I had known of your whiskey when I was at home in Chicago I would have never come out here for my health. ED. SCHUBARTH. 1603 Market st., Denver. March IS, 1902. There are thousands of cases just like that of Mr. Schubarth and Mrs. Allington. where the patients thought they had in curable consumption until their doctors prescribed Duffy'3 Pure Malt Whiskey. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Is absolutely pure and possesses more curative power than all other medicines. It contains no fusel oil, so common in other whiskeys, and which, Is a dangerous Ingredient in whiskey, especially for the diseased sys tem, when the poison takes effect. 1101 1 .m Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey not only drives out consumption germs and heals -the lungs, but it builds up new tissue and renovates the entire system. It aids digestion, stimulates and enriches the blood, tones up the heart. Invigorates and builds up the body so that it will throw off all disease. At the Medical Convention In Albany one of the leading doctors said he would rather have Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey to cure consumption, catarrh, asthma and- diseases of the throat and lungs than all the quack medicines In the world, and the doctors present agreed with him unanimously. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Is good for old and young.'' It has carried the blessing of health to hun dreds "of thousands of poor sufferers. Many have tried to Imitate it, and unre liable dealers have been known to try to sell thoir customers, some cheap substi tute because there was more profit jn the substitute. So we caution our patients to be careful and see that "Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey" Is on the label, and that it is our own patent bottle, with the name blown In the bottle. This Is the only way Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is sold. If offered In bulk or in flasks it is a fraud. The genuine at all druggists or grocers or direct,' ?1.00 a bottle. It Is the only whiskey recognized by the Government as a medicine. This Is a guarantee. A valuable medical "booklet containing symptoms and treatment of each disease and many testimonials will be sent free to any reader of this paper who will write Duffy Malt Whiskey Co.. Rochester. N. Y. tlon of the present day, there are a large number of people who have a positive hor ror of home. This curious revulsion of feeling Is taken by many persons as a sign cf social deterioration. For our own part, wc find It difficult to take It quite seri ously, or to pcc in it anything more than a passing whim. Nobody nowadays likes monotony. Change Is, what people desire not perhaps any great change, but lots of small change;, not necessarily for the better, but for Its own sake. Now there is a great samenejis about one's own four walls, be they never so handsome. We all feel at times an overpowering desire to look at sccnethlng else. Wo cannot change the patterns or the pictures on them every day, and neither Ihey nor the home fur niture ever seem to alter In. expression. Again, there Is. a terrible sameness about one's own cook. Experience enables Tls to foretell the taste of everything at home, from the soup to the savory If we arc rich, and from the mutton to tho cheese If we . are poor. Whereas If wo dine at a restaurant, everything down to the salt is different, and the restaurant L? refurnished dally with new faces. Then again, the music and stir going on around one avoid the necessity for much conver sation, and conversation in the home cir cle Is sometimes difficult and sometimes dull. Csw P-IT'D
