The Double Murder at Tecumseh.
Johnson County. The only new de-
felopments in the Hesse murder case
at Tecumseh is the hearing from a
brother of 'Miss Wauneta Laverne
McMaster's father. The wife of this
brother has written Sheriff E. L. Rob
erts from her home at Dallas , S. D. ,
asking for some further particulars of
the double murder and the hiding of
the bodies of Mrs. Hesse and her
daughter in the well. The sheriff
wired Mrs. McMaster at once and en
deavored through her to locate the
father of the murdered girl. Up to
this time there is no reply.
The awful crime is still the one
theme of conversation with Tecumseh
people. It has worked them to a high
state of excitement. The ladies who
were called to the morgue by the
coroner's jury in an endeavor to
Identify the bodies have been in a
serious nervous state since. One of
the witnesses said the old well was
within 'seventy-five feet of her bed
room window and that , without
doubt , she was sleeping near an open
window , the window being towards
the well , at the time the women were
murdered and their bodies disposed
of.
The wonderful composure that
Hesse maintained after the women
had been killed and b'uried in the well ,
and the house burned , is almost un
paralleled. Following the fire he in
vestigated the prices of building ma
terials at the local yards , and even
went as far as to show plans of 'his
proposed new house. Later he said he
would have to give up the building
proposition as his wife could not bear
to return to Tecumseh. For two or
three days after the fire he worked
about the place , and , more than once ,
while standing within a dozen feet of
the old well that contained the mur
dered bodies of his wife and step
daughter , would pass some sarcastical
or joking remarks about portions of
the debris of the fire or something
of the sort.
The old well at the home first oc
cupied by the Hesses in Tecumseh
has not been due out yet , but it is
going to be , it is understood. Why
would this man fill one well and dig
another on the same lot at his own
expense in a property he was renting ,
is a question that puzzles many. And ,
too , where is McMaster , the father of
the murdered girl ? It is known that he
was formerly a traveling man with
headquarters In Chicago. He has al
ways been solicitous as to his di
vorced wife and his daughter , and
now , when their murdered bodies
have been discovered , he is silent.
The authorities have wired Chicago
and other points and cannot locate
him. The story of the double murder
and burying of the bodies in the old
well has been sent broadcast in the
Unit < * i States , and officers believe
McMasters has surely heard of it if he
is alive.

Labor's Changing Ideal
labor's ideal of a
ORGANIZED changes with
varying conditions. At one time
it was customary to work 12 or
more hours per day , but as civilization
advanced the working day has been
steadily reduced.
In reducing the hours of labor the
unions have been chiefly instrumental ,
as they have in various trades estab
lished a shorter workday and then fol
lowed it up by legislation wherever
they have been strong enough.
Though "eight hours" may be the
objective which organized labor now
seeks to accomplish , it does not fol
low that eight hours is ideal , or that
it will be the goal of the future. The
short-hour movement rests funda-
mently upon necessity.
"The constant improvement in ma
chinery and consequent displacement
of labor , together with the further dis
placement of labor by the tendency
toward consolidation in all lines of in
dustry , must ultimately compel us to
choose between three things : First ,
we may shorten the hours of labor to
distribute opportunity for employment ,
or , second , we may tax property to
support the idle , or , third , we may
have revolution. "
This masterly and unaswerable sum
ming up of the underlying causes of
the short-hour movement was by a
statesman , no less than the late
Thomas B. Reed.
It follows that as long as machinery
and methods continue so to improve
that less and less hours are required
for. productive labor , the ideal work
ing day will be shorter and shorter.
Labor does not expect to live with
out work it complains that there are
too many who live without workv and
Labor Day Beginning
Terence V. Powderly , the man who
was largely instrumental in organizing
the Knights of Labor nearly forty
years ago , tells the Washington cor
respondent of the Brooklyn Eagle of
the first Labor day. In 1881 there
was a parade of 20,000 labor men in
New York city , and one of the officials
said to another on the reviewing
stand : "Well , Jack , this is Labor day ,
all right , isn't it ? " The remark at
tracted attention and a reservation
setting aside the first Monday in Sep
tember for a celebration of labor's
progress was introduced in the New
it would like to make the hours short
enough BO that all will have to work.
It notes that banking and profes
sional men work five hours or less ,
and hopes to reach the same ideal
some time.
To provide work for he idle affects
the supply of and demand for labor
and favorably affects wages as all
short-hour trades well know but the
desire of the worker to have some
time for recreation and amusement
stimulates the demand for shorte
hours.
As our wage-earners become better
educated they become more deter
mined to have more of the benefit of
labor-saving machinery.
They desire more leisure that their
industrial life may be prolonged.
They desire their fellow-men to be
employed.
They desire good wages and realize
that to preserve them their fellowmen -
men must be employed.
The late George E. McNeill , called
the father of the eight-hour move
ment , said "Eight hours for work ,
eight hours for rest , eight hours for
what we will. "
This seems like an equitable divis
ion as long as eight hours is the ob
jective , but as invention follows inven
tion , it is likely the figures will have
to be revised.
The ideal short hour workday is the
shortest day possible that will give
good wages , and give the largest meas
ure of freedom , recreation and enjoy
ment to the worker , enabling him to
support his family , educate his chil
dren , and lajr aside something for the
rainy day.

York legislature. While it was pend
ing Oregon passed a law establishing
the holiday , the first state in the
Union to do this. New York was the
second. Later states to the number
of thirty-three passed similar laws ,
and in 1894 the day was recognized
by the national government and is
now observed wherever It has juris
diction. The language of the govern
ment resolution was to the effect that
on that day employers and employes
should get together to discuss their
general welfare. That result has not
been generally observable as yet , but

OLD TIME LIVE STOCK !
HOW IT WAS CARED FOR IN THE
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
Ignorant Local Leeches Cared for Sick
Cattle Examples of Intelligence
of the Pig. .
Sir Walter Gllbey has brought to
gether a number of interesting facts
concerning the live stock of the farm. !
Bleeding , the stock remedy for equine
ills of every kind , was practiced until !
comparatively recent times. The Es
sex farmers used to bleed their ani
mals regularly in spring and autumn
as late as the year 1835 , and in some
districts it was continued until about
1850.
1850.But
But veterinary surgery did not em
brace the study of cattle and sheep
diseases at all. Treatment of sick ,
cattle was referred to the local "leech , " '
who , to quote a writer of the time ,
"knows as much of the diseases of
animals as the beast to attend which
he Is sent for. "
Arthur Young , writing In 1770 , reck
oned the total of cattle in England at
over 2,800,000 , including 684,000
draught cattle. The fact that some 4-
800,000 cattle are now owned In Eng
land indicates the change In the cat
tle breeding industry during a hun
dred years. There are no reliable fig
ures. Sir Walter says , to show what
the horse population was at that time.
Apart from coaching , every country
gentleman drove or rode In , the good
old days. The farmer and commercial
traveler traveled on horseback or
drove a gig. Goods In out of the way
parts of England were still carried on
strings of pack horses. The Importance
of the latter as a means of transport
is shown by the old "pack horse"
bridges still remaining over the
streams in various parts of England.
They are wide enough to allow a
laden horse to pass , but too narrow
for carts.
Some curious examples are supplied
by Sir Walter Gllbey of the intelli
gence of the pig. One of the most
remarkable examples Is furnished by
the famous "pig pointer , " a black sow ,
which two king's keepers in the new
forest trained In a fortnight 'to find
game , point and back almost as well
as a pointer. The excellent scenting
powers of the pig are , as Is well
known , utilized by French truffle find
ers , who train young swine to find the
truffles , buried as they are In a few
inches below the soil. They were used
for this purpose in England also , Sir
Walter states ; Lord Braybrooke kept
truffle hunting pigs some fifty years
ago.
ago.Geese
Geese have gone somewhat out of
fashion in these days , but formerly
they were held to be the most profit
able kind of poultry. They were raised
in vast numbers in the Lincolnshire
fens. Pennant says that a single per
son would keep as many as a thou
sand old birds , each of which raising
seven goslings the owner at the year's
end would find himself master of a
flock of 8,000 birds. In the great
tracks of fenland , before they were
drained , over a thousand persona
made their living out of geese. The
profit of goose keeping lay in the
practice of plucking. The value ol
the goose feathers was estimated at
about a shilling a head a year and
three-pence more for the quills at that
time in general demand for pens.
Soap.
"Were I a soap-maker , " said a gin
in a red bathing suit , "I should give
away with every cake of soap a soap-
dish like those at the Hotel Surf a
soap-dish that doesn't drain.
"The right kind of soap dish has a
perforated plate on which the soap la
laid. This plate drains off the water
into a bowl below , and the soap dries
at once. But the Surf hotel soap
dishes have no drain plates ; in them
your soap lies always In a little pool ,
and , when you go to use it , about a
quarter Inch of It comes off on your
hands in the shape of slime.
"The world Is full of these non-
draining soap dishes. I have tested
them. I have proved by actual test
that they waste 50 per cent , of the
soap. Hence , were I a soap-maker , I'd
give them away to my patrons.
"The mustard maker , you know ,
grows rich out of the mustard people
leave on the edge of their plates. By
supplying all his patrons with non-
draining soap dishes , the soap-maker
would at once have to double his
plant. "
Rather Stiff.
"That is a rather stiff assertion , *
said Senator Curtis , at a dinner In
Washington , of a reciprocity argu
ment.
"That. In fact , reminds me of one
of our Kansas stories.
" 'What is that tall chimney for ? "
said a visitor to Kansas , pointing tea
a farmyard. 'Is somebody putting up
a factory in this lonely quarter ? '
" 'No. ' was the reply. 'That's Just
Joe Miller's well. Cyclone turned
her inside out' "
Perfectly Clear.
At the Art museum the sign "Hands
off" was conspicuously displayed be-
for the statue of Venus de Milo , says
Harper's Magazine.
A small child looked from the sign
to the statue.
"Anybody could see that , " she said ,
dryly.
Philosophic.
He Whenever I borrow money I go
to a pessimist.
She Why ?
He Because a pessimist never as
pects to get it back again
1MIOF CIIY
Big Success Shown by Numbers
of Callers at Philadelphia
Headquarters.
LOCAL MAN TELLS OF
REMARKABLE RELIEF
FROM RHEUMATISM
IN YEAR'S TIME-
The apparent success with which Pro
fessor James M. Munyon , the world-
famous health authority , has been meet-
Ins has started much discussion. Every
street car brings dozens o" callers to hli
Laboratories at 53d and Jefferson Streets ,
Philadelphia. Pa , , and every mail brines
thousands of letters from people inquir
ing about Munyon'a Famous Health Cult.
Professor Munyon's corps of expert phy
sicians is kept busy seeing callers and
answering the mall. Peculiar to say ,
these physicians prescribe no medicine
at all for 50 per cent , of the callers and
mall inquiries ; health hints , health advice -
vice and rules for right llvine are given
absolutely free. Medical advlco and con
sultation absolutely free.
M'myon'a followers seem to be enor
mous. Those who believe In his theories
seem to think he possesses the most
marvelous powers for the healing of all
sorts of diseases. Munyon. himself ,
laughs at this. He says : ' 'The hundreds
of cures which you are hearing about
every day In Philadelphia are not In any
way due to my personal skill. It Is my
remedies , which represent the combined
br lns of the greatest medical specialists
science has ever known , that are doing
the work. I have paid thousands of dollars
lars for a single formula and the ex
clusive right to manufacture It. I hav
paid tens of thousands of dollars for oth
ers of my various forms of treatment.
This Is why I get such remarkable re
sults. I have simply bought the best
products of the best brains In the world
and placed this knowledge within the
reach of the general public. "
Among Munyon's callers yesterday
were many who were enthusiastic lw
their praise of the man. One of theao
said : "For six years I suffered with
rheumatism. My arms and legs were af
flicted so badly that I could hardly work ,
and I could not raise my arms to my
head. The pain was most severe In the
back , however , and I was In perfect tor
ture. I tried In many ways to got cun--d.
or even to secure temporary relief , but
nothing seemed to help m until I was
persuaded by a friend' to try Dr. Mun
yon's Uric Acid Course. It was the most
marvelously acting remedy I ever saw.
within a week the pain had most gen
and Inside of a month I cansidered my
self entirely cured. I can nsw go out In
the worst weather cold , wet r any
thing else , and I have not felt any sus
picion of a return of the disease. I tMnk
that every person who has rheumatism
and does not take the Uric Acid Course
Is making a great mistake. "
The continuous stream of callers and
mall thit comes to Professor James V.
