CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis., Dec. IS.
It is asserted by the police today
that John Johnson, woodsman
known as "Crazy Joe," confessed to
having murdered Mrs. Peter Shirley
at Hannibal on Wednesday. Johnson
was suspected of the crime and was
arrested and accused yesterday by
Sheriff Winter.
Tho crimo was a brutal one, the
woman being shot through the head
in the presence of her two little chil
dren. l5!
When her three older children re
turned from school later they found
the door of the cabin fastened. They
went around to th window on the
side and saw the body of their mother
lying on tie floor, her head severed
completely from tho body. Shrieking
with terror, they ran to Hannibal, a
distance of two miles, and gave the
alarm.
Accompanld ty a posse of citizens,
t" children returned to the Shirley
Lout?. The d"ir was broken down
The bedy of f-s murdered woman lay
In tho middle ot the floor, while her
9-months-old babe lay at th feet of
its 3-year-old sister, who crouched In
n dark corner,
Tho child, when questioned regard
ing tho murder, said that a man came
Into tho cabin and attempted to "treat
mama mean," and that when sho tried
to drive him away ho shot her, then
hacked her head off.
Sheriff Winter got a fairly good
description from the child witness and
later arrested Johnson in his cabin
six miles away.
In his confession, it is said, John
ton denied making an assault, but
pavo no motive for the crime.

SEATTLE FINDS LARGE
' UNDERGROUND COLONY
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 17. That
a Japanese urderwcrld, similar to
that that made San Frnncisco's Chi
na town fnrmous before the fire of
April 18, 1900, hns been operating
for some time in this city, wns the
discovery made by the present grand
jury called by the superior court to
look into charges of municipal cor
ruption made recently.
Tho jury invaded the underground
world today, traveled into basements
nnd opened heavily bnrred doors,
went through passageways as dark
and tortuous ns those found in San
Francisco nnd found every evidence
of tho widespread beneath-the-sur
face gumbling that has long been
suspected existed in this city.
Entrance wns usually gained
through the imposing shop of a sup
posedly respectable Japanese. From
the back of tho store a long flight
of steps led to a room whero tho
prospective player was hcrutinized by
u guard stationed on tho other side
of tho barred door. Another inspeo
tion of tho man Inter nnd then the
visitor was conducted in dnrkucris
through n passngewny, up n winding
fight of stairs, and finally to the
gaining tables, in n way that took
him uguin beneath the surface.
Indications are that the short
courses for farmers and teachors
which will commence nt tho Oregon
Agricultural College January 4 wijl
bo very well attended.
For That Dull Feeling After Eating.
I havo used Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets for some time and
can testify that they have done me
moro good than any tabletis I havo
eyer usod. My trouble was a heavy
dull feeling after eating. David
Freeman, Kempt, Nova Scotia. Those
tablets strengthen the stomach and
improve tho digestion. They also reg
ulate the liver aid bowels. They are
far superior to pills, but cost no

OAKLAND, Cal., Dec 18. David
Starr Jordan, president ot Stnntord
university, will bo called upon to ex
plain the Intent ot his speech regard
ing woman's suffrage at tho recent
Inauguration ot the new president of
Mills colleg in this city. In order to
provo to tho members ot the Oakland
Equal Suffrage league that his state
ments, believed at that time to havo
been distinctly favorablo to tho suf
frage cause, wore not two-edged.
In his spoecn Dr. Jordan said:
"I bollore in equal sutfrago for
men and women, as a means of edu
cation, and I am suro tho day ot
equal suffrage will bo nearer when
womon mako plain the use they would
mako of their votes. If they will vote
as men do for their pnrty ticket or
for tho men who will divide tho most
with them or their associates, there Is
no object in adding to the over-loaded
ballot.
At yesterday's meeting of tho But
fragetto league Mrs. Alma Kower, one
of Its leaders, declared tho Stanford
president's speech a reflection upon
tho Intelligence of woman, and a
thrust at tli0 causo which he Is said
to have espoused.
Tho matter was referred to tho cor
responding secretary of tho loaguo,
who was Instructed to write to Dr.
Jordan and request that ho explain i
th0 statements they believed to bo,
sopen to a misconstruction. Mean-1
whllo tho discussion over the actual
Intent of tho educator's declaartlons
Is waxing warm.
