THEN A POOR GIRL WIFE.
Wronged Before She Was Fifteen,
Assaulted by the Man Who Ru
ined Her-Now In Jail
for Murder.
AVEXfitjn Hl-K' WROW.S.
HELENA, Mon., Nov. i!..-Wronged
before she was fifteen, assaulted
two years later by the man who
ruined her, slandered by the same
vile creature after fhe was honor
ably married, poor Maggie Dowty
now lies in jail at Livingston, soon
to become a mother. The chargeof
murder hangs over Iter. The trug
edy was most sensational, and
though it t'luk jd.iee ten days ago,
the particular!) are just coming to
light. It occurred in Cokesdale. a
small mining camp in Park county.
Just three years ago pretty Maggie
Mac Donald, not yet lifteen, was
taken to a dance in Livingston by
Patrick Tierney, a neighbor of her
father's, thirty-live years old, lured
into the Albemarle hotel and her
ruin nccuiuplii-licd. Afterward he
terrriied her into silence. Just
two years later he found her alone
in her mother'.- house at Oakdale
and assaulted her, but with the
awakened instinct of virtuous wom
anhood she lought the tiend with
desperation and ploughed ileep fur
rows in his face with her linger
nails and foiled li i m. La-tjuiie the
girl was married, and no taint of
neaiid.il attached to her good name.
Hut in time the demon of her life
began by hints, insinita tions and
innuendoes to destroy lier hus
band's conlideiue in her, and he
(Ue-dioned her and wrung from her
lips the full story of her wrongs.
The.i the poor irl wife, in deep
humiliation at the wrongs heaped
upon her, took poison, and but lor
timely discovery and prompt as
Histauce would have passed beyond
the veil. Drought back to life, she
again took up the dulico of her joy
less life and thought of means to
avenge her wrongs, which were
killing her. She got a revjlver,and
one night at the supper hour (die
went to the place where Tierney
boarded and sent word for him to
come out. As he appeared in the
doorway edie asked why he persist
ed in persecuting her. He denied
that he had spoken ill of her since
her marriage, but the lie wan
Hi nicclv out of his month before a
bullet was in his heart, and in a few
moments he was dead. (Juicily re
turning home she gave the weapon
to her mother and awaited the of
ficer who came to arrest her. She
is now in jail awaiting her day of
motherhood and trial for murder.
A JAIL li:i.lVI-Y l-'Kl STk'ATKH.
Si:i.m.i., Mn, Nov. JS.- The third
attempt at jail breaking in the past
two weeks occurred here this morn
ing, and Frank Jliu kner, a prisoner
charged with burglary and larceny,
wa beaten into Hensibility by the
leaders, because he "peached" on
them and frustrated the attempt. J.
II. Adams and J. M. Hossman, who
were brought here from St. Louis,
to answer the charge of having
burglari.ed Ilginlrit's hardware
store, and George Walker, a Kansas)
City cook, charged with larceny,
were the leaders. Adams made a
saw from the steel shank that he
had removed from the cole of his
8hoc and with this a bar wart sawed
in two. The bar was then bent. up.
ward far enough to permit the pris.
onerrt to escape into the outer cor
rider, when Jhickner called for help,
and the delivery wart made impos
posaible. Adams, Jlossman, and
Walker next jumped upon Huckner
and the limley arrival of Sheriff
Smith wao all that that H.ived the
prirtoncr'rt life. The desperadoes,
learned today that a special term
of court had been ordered for next
month, when they would be tried,
and were certain to be nenl over
the road. This fact made them
desperate, and hence today's at
tempt to escape. The jail will now
be guarded day and night until
nfler the adjournment of the Crim
inal court.
HA.MI'tiKKtt HY THE LAW.
Philadelphia, Nov. 2S.-General
Secretary Hayes of the knights of
labor, sayH the headquarters are to
be remoed from this city, for the
reason that the order is subject to
summary decisions as recently ren
dered by Chief Justice Paxson when
he constituted himself a justice of
the peace in the Homestead cases.
The idea is to either get on the
Canadian line at Niagara falls,
Out., or in the city of Washington.
It is the intention of the order not
to be hampered in its etlort to
gather together all the industrial
organizations of the country under
one roof.

An Educational Exhibit.
Educational workers in Nebras
ka, like those id many other slates,
are protesting vigorously against
the action of the world's, fair man
agement in its contemplated plan
of relegating the educational ex
liil.it to an obscure corner of litu
ited space or altogether abolishing
such an exhibit. Nebraska edttca
tors are up in arms, and as a result
of a called meeting Hon. A. K
(ioudy, superintendent ol public in
struction, Yesterday forwarded this
protest to the directory ol the Co
I uuihian exposition:
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. U . Directory
Columbian Exposition, Chicago,
111, --Gentlemen: 1 am atltlioi i.cd
by a convention ot the educational
workers in all lines in tin-state of
Aehraska, assembled in pursuance
ol an invitation extended to tliein by
this department, as well as by
others who were not able to be pres
ent, to say that it is the uuqualilied
opinion ol the ureal state winch we
repa st nt that our stale and uation-
a. educational interests are para
mount to all others; luat while the
agricultural, manufacturing, com.
iiiercial, mining and other nidus-
1 1 ial interests are ol the greatest
finite importance, the development
ol the human mind and the growth
of the intellectual powers' anion
our people are of transcendent im
port; that the merely mmcrinl in
terests ol the nation are of value
only because lite iuiuiateri.il and
th 'spiritual make them so.
In the great nation like ours,
boasting ol its civili.atiou, of its
culture and of its devotion of the
sciences and to the arts; iu a nation
professing pride iu its statesmen, its
orators, its poets and its artistn; in
a nation whose chiet glory is its in
t dligeut citizenship, and holding,
as our people do, that the stability
of our institutions depends upon
the intelligence ol our mas
ses; in a nation wuose coronet is
its public schools, though whose
instrumentality it is possible for
every child to receive a good degree
ol culture -for such a people to
belie their professions by prac-
ically exi luding education from a
great enterprise like that over
which your houorahl" board pre
sides will be looked upon by other
nations siskin acknowledgment that,
Claiming to honor the spiritual, Un
people of the ended Mates worship
the material; it will make our peo
ple the laughing stock of other na
tions, both near and remote; it will
excite derision on the p art of those
people whose respect we cannot
alTord to forfeit; worse than all this
it will lessen our self respect, and
it will impress upon our youth
every where t lit beliel that you, our
representatives, and we, whom you
arc chosen to represent, are more
careful to develope business than
to develope men; and that in all
our professions of devotion to the
upbuilding of intellect, we are in
sincre. I am authorized to respect
fully submit to you that you will
represent the sentiment of the peo
ple of the Mate of Nebraska if you
fail to make such provision for a
display of the educational product
and the methods of American edu
cation and of educational progress
iu tin; l'n ited States as will pro
claim to on own people and to for

we esteem intellectual wealth and

A SUA KM' ADVANCi; IX COFKKK.
Mai.T1.moki:, Mi), Nov. .-Collets
has made a Hlnrp advance iu price
i i the last two or three months
While so far the. clfect has been fell
chielly in wholesale tradings, it is;
predict! that retailers will be soon
compelled to put up prices to meet
the advance, and that the consum
ers will be forced to pay from .'lc to
I1 jc a pound more than nl present.
In giving reasons for this advance,
a leading collee importer said it id
necessary to go back a little and
review the collee situation for the.
past four or live years. "For four
years prior to iwl," he continued,
"the n vera ge yield was M),tX,i) hags
and the average price during these
years of standard grade and in
wholesale tradings was. lTc a
pound. The crop of l.V.if, was a
large one. reaching 7.'J."iO,0(X) bags,
and at the first report it was even
estimated at Uoo,(Kiu bags. Tin
natural result of this increased pro-
-diiction was a corresponding fall in
price, and collee sold at btc a pound
With the decrease in price came an
increase consumption. This in
crease was euorniuos. in the United
Slates alone reached per cent."
These natural conditions have
again changed, and this year's crop
has fallen off considerably. The in
dications do not promise a heavy
coming crop, certainly not over
fi.hOD.IXK) I tags. '1 he increase iu price
indue solely to natural causes. We
have gone back to the normal crop
of four years ago, ami have only
gone bark to the normal price pre
vailing at that time. The increase
consumption also makes n greater
demand, which always gives prices
an upward tendency. For retail
lots of standard grades the price is
advanced in the last few days from
I'.ic to 2:i'.,c."
