The following letter , which was never

When aslted the reason for her sudden determination -
termination for killing Mr. Reiser the
frenzied \votnun replied Unit it was because
ho had planned to have her commit ono of
vilest acts a woman had oor done. She
evaded tolling Just what It was , but Inti
mated that she was to assist Uclser in cot-
ting revenue on some man who had insulted
him. She intimated that it was a married
man and t no schema was to ruin him. An-
pthcr thing was that Reiser had ruined her
home , happiness and lito ; that she had at
first bollovcd him to bo a Rood man , but
when bo stilted his last proposition she had
concluded that ho was too degraded to llvo
and that us long as llfo was nothing to her
now she proposed to kill him first nnd then
take her own life. The following letters ,
which bore no dato.were found la her pocket
when searched at the station :

1'red Rudlccr'e Statement.
Late last night Mr. Uudlgor was seen nt
the police station and ho spoke quite , freely
of the affair. Ho said that yesterday was
the first absolute information ho had of his
wife's Infidelity. She made a confession to
him , claiming that Reiser bad mesmeric
powers over her nnd that at times while
is his company she had no control ever her
self whatever.
"After my wlfo mode the confession , " said
Mr : Rudigor , "I went to Reiser and asked
him to go with mo In the presence of a wit
ness nnd admit his pullt. Ho refused to do
'BO" , and I then warned him that my wlfowas
very much worked up ever the matter , nnd
It-would be best for him to do as I had re
quested , lie flatly rofuscd , My object waste
to Kpt his statement and then proceed to get
a dlvorco without making the matter pubfi' ' .
I nm positive that my wlfo bus been true to
"me'wltl * this one exception. She was a
noble woman nnd wo lived happily together
until Reiser put In an appearance. I treated
him as a brother and invited him to my
boUso frequently. I have feared the worst
ilnco my wlfo confessed and Houor refused
to admit the truth. "

Ono Olcnritlc Monripuly.
Tlio question ot public economics occupied
the attention of the Chaulauqua college of
the First Methodist church last evening.
The opening half hour was devoted to the
usual question box , after \Vhlc1t Major Hal-
ford outlined the course of study for the
coniinif week. The address of the evening
was delivered by"Mr. EtRosoWator , who dis
cussed corporations In their relations to the
state. Ills remarks were hoard with inter
est. By way of introduction Mr. Roiowator
called attention lo the rapid strides ot cor
porate influences in the control of the busl-
ncssointcrusts of the country ,
"Tho present century1 said he , "has wit
nessed n great economic ro volution. The
application of steam power to the propul
sion of labor saving machinery ; tbo exten
sion over all civilized lauds of the network
of railways and telegraphs ; the concent ra
tion of manufacturing operations in vast in-
dU3trial establishments nnd the distribution
of the products of labor to the markets of
the civilized world.
Nineteenth Century Achievements.
"A man ushered into the world with the
nineteenth' century might have witnessed
the ascent of Fulton's steamboat on her trial
trip up thu Hudson , at the ago of 7 years.
Up to his. 2Uth year ho could not have
found in all tnis worldjin iron plow. At the
ago of bO he would have been able to travel
on the first railway passenger train , lie

plied between Europe and America , Ho had
but reached middle life , the , age of ! I , when
the first telegram Hashed over Morse's ex
perimental line from Baltimore to Washing
ton. *
"Tho industrial revolution witnessed by
the present generation has made a much
greater change In tno hamlet and in the
farm hotiso than It has In the palatial resi
dence of the millionaire. Fifty years Ago
nearly every article that was used by the
farmer was produced by his own household.
The cloth for his wuarlnz apparel was made
at homo , and so were most , of the utensils
needed in the cultivation of the soil. Todav
ho cots his cloth from the woolen mills , his
brooms from tht > broom factory , his Imple
ments from the dealer in farm machinery.
Thn old smoke house has given way to the
packing houses , the fruit cellars have given
place to tho'canninp factoryj and the homo
dairy to the creamery operated by steam
and labor saving machinery.
ot Tradei.
"The same ctiango has taken place with
regard to the mechanical trades. The hand
loom worked In the cottage has given way to
tbo power loom in the cotton mill and the
woolen mllL The small shop , In which an
ordinary wheelwright could , earn a very fair
iivellnoadrihas uiven way to the great car
riage factory where from 100 to 300 wagons
and buggies are made 2 very week. The
shoo maker's shop has been supplanted by
great shoo factories , where thachine-uiade
boots and shoos are turned out J > y the
thousands. Concentrated wealth now oper
ates nearly all the Industrial concerns of the
world. One hundred years ago the world
had very little need for railways.
Tbo public highways were open to everyone
ono and though monopolies Tor coach lines
were sometimes granted and toll roads and
toll bridges were quito common , there was
no possibility for a harmful monopoly in
transportation , because the necessity for
transportation was so small. Each com
munity produced from Its. farms and work
shops most of the things which it needed
and the exchange of wares between different
sections was cora'paratlvely trifling.
Umlrr Modern Condition * .
"Under modern conditions every man ob
tains the things which ho desires , not by
producing them himself , but by producing
some one thing which others desire. Tbo
exchange between each producer and each
consumer must bo made by means of the
railways , and without them the stores , fac
tories , mills , mines and farms would have to
coasJo operation.
'From the beginning of the railroad era
the people of the United States have de
pended upon free competition for the rezula-
tlon of railway charges. This desire to
maintain-free competition led to the adop
tion of general incorporation acts , under the
belief that such competition as obtaius
between merchants and manufacturers was
possible among railro.ids and would regulate
prices and prevent abuses.
Out ) Gigantic Monopoly.
"Experience has proven that where com
bination Is possible competition Is impossi
ble. In the beginning the roads did compote
with each other after a fashion , but as the
roads multiplied consolidations became
numerous , and within the past twenty years
so general that the 105,000 miles of roads now
In operation in this country are virtually
under the control of not more than twelve
or fifteen syndicates. Today the railway
systems of America are practically ono
gigantic .monopoly. The founders of the
American constitution , realizing the fact
that in order to have a more perfect union
the inequality of taxation placed upon
commcrco by the various states must bo
abolished , the fathers of the republic re
fused to permit a single state to lay Impost
duties upon tbo commnrei.il commodities
which passed beyond its borders. They
believed that industrial and commercial
liberty was as essential to the welfare of the
union as political freedom , and they there
fore provided that the power to regulate
interstate commerce should' bo lodged in thu
supreme legislative authority of the nation
the congress of the United States.
Arbitrary Frright Tiinir * .
"This power has. within the last quarter
of a century , been relegated to the railway
systems , They assume the right to regulate
the commerce of the country in their own
interests by theadoptlon of arbitrary freight
tariffs. Freight charges are practically a tax
which follows the commodity from the pro-
ducur to the consumer ; and an arbitrary and
unjust freight charge is an arbitrary and
unjust tax imposed upon the publio without
its consent , The practical operation of this
system mndo the patrons of railroads their
dependents , and placed commodities nt the
mercy of public carrleia. This vicious sys
tem grow until the payment of a regular
tariff rate was the exception rather than
thu rule , and special rates or rebates be
came an Indispensable condition of success
In business. The most striking ex
ample of this species of favoritism
was tha Standard Oil company , a cor
poration oiganUed originally in the state
of Ohio by tlio consolidation of several oil
ictlnlni : companies , A great compact was
made by this corporation with the railroad
companies by which they were guaranteed
lower rates 111911 tlioso charged by the rail
roads for transporting the oils of Its com
petitors. The agreement also contained the
stipulation that if lower rates were over
granted to their competitors an additional
rebate should bo given to the Staudard OH
company. Thu rebate allowed this company
was from 150 cents to $1.83 per barrel.
By thw method alone the Standard
Oil company was able to crush
out all Us competitors within less
than ten year * , and enrich itself by untold
millions. Mr. Cossett testified before the
Now York state legislative committee on
finance that for eighteen months the rail
roads had paid the Standard Oil com
pany in rebates not lets than $10,000,000.
It is claimed by the defenders of the Stand
ard monopoly that erring to the special ad
vantages which It enjoytd the price of
petroleum hai been considerably decrersed
w the consumer , The fact , Is that the
btandard Oil company never lowered the
price of oil except when compelled to do so
by competition. Th largely increased
output of cru < U oil , . other ana im
proved method * of refining , and the
* r' H > L lo er d cost of transportation
would have lpwer a the price ot coal oil

miand mo u M * * , commodltle bat *
within almou th , wmewiHod * uff red much
larger r du m & * * tU co l oil ocwjiu * .
But oven it tha Standard monopoly had ma
terially lowered the price of It * produets the
American people could novcr safely submit
to the methods by which it had been en
riched. They can never bo madfr to believe
that the end justillcs the m < Mn.Vespecially
when these means arc railroad combination ,
bribery , intimidation nnd lawlessness.
Commorclal nnil liutiinUrnl Liberty.
"No man or sot of men can bo permitted to
play the pirt of providence over the com
merce nnd Industries ot our country. The
ultimate power In this land still rests with
the people. The first business , of the state
Is toguanl the people against the abuses of
its corporate creatures. The principles
which should covorn the conduct of
all great rntnrprlscs. the maintenance of
publio rights , the freedom of commerce ,
the subjimatlon of corporations to the spirit
and letter of the law are otornal. The
prosperity ot the musses , the restraint of
arbitrary power nnd corrupt or mercenary
influences will always bo among tho. .highest ,
nuns of human society. On a fair esti
mate of the total product of labor"of this
country It Is found that. U ) per lent of Us
value Is pild for raw materials anil- finished
goods In their various journeys between pro
ducer , dealer and consumer.
I'libllo Control of Trnniportntloti.
"Tho true solution ot the problem with
which this country Is now wrestling is th 3
public control of transportation. This docs
not mean the government ownership of the ,
present moans of carriage , whether on lander
or water. Even Senator Pcffcr concedes In
his late \vorlt , entitled , 'Tho Farmer's
Side,1 that when political platloruis urge
the government ownership of railroads
they state thu case loosely and somewhat
wildly. According to Senator Porter it Is
control of transportation that the people
ple are talking about , not the government
ownership of existing mil ways aud boat
lines. The railroads ot America ixro , now
capitalized , that ii , stocked and bonded , forever
over $10,000,000,000. That colossal sum rep
resents about $ r > ,000,000,000 of water or
fraudulent stocks nnd excessive bonding.
Nearly all of the rallroids in this country
are capitalized very largely in excess of
their actual value. If the roads were pur
chased they would have to bo bought in at
an enormous loss to tno government , it
Vrould bo criminal folly to nay fpr , anything
more than It is worth , when there is no
necessity for U. "
Mr. Roscwatcr further contended that the
purchase of the railroads bytho government
was not feasible at the present timo. It
would bring with It colossal .corruptions.
The property would have to bo ncdulrod by
the rjght. of eminent domain and this would
involve the appraisement ot nil the systems.
By what authority should thcso appraisers ha
m > pointedf .Even If the appointments were
made by the president of the United States
what an opportunity would DO opened for
bribery and corruption where so many mil
lions jvero involved 1 Prof. Ely has main
tained that the government could borrow
the necessary funds for this gigantic pur
chase nt 3 per cent. That might bo
true now , but the credit of a. nation
fluctuates like that of an individual nnd as
soon as It was. known that the covornment
wanted to bond Itself fora sum three times
as great as when it was engaged in war , how
long would its credit remain. , at the present
high stundardt t
Corporate Influence.
"A system like thai controlled by-Jay
Gould has In Its employ not less than 1,000
lawyers , and they ot the best tliat can be
obtained at the places where they are
employed. When any question of great in
terest to any railroad company Is brought
forward it is found that all the important
findings of the courts are Drought under the
control of the interested corporations. So
strong has this corporate inilucn.ce become
that the poor man is wholly at their mercy ,
and they llay the community , county nnd
city not only mercilessly , but without
ceremony. Millions and millions of dollars
have beea taken from the people by this
rapacity , and so dangerous have these cor
porations become that they are a .constant
menace to our institutions.
.Evils of InlUteil CunltallziUon.
"That the regulation ot railway charges
and the enactment of stringent laws to pre
vent unjust discrimination and favoritism
is needed must be admitted by * all rational
peoplo. And now lot mq call -attention to
another evil. The overcapitalization of
railways and telegraphs is'largely response
bio for the financial dlstress1 'nnu business
depression that has been experienced in this
country during the past twenty years. The
inflated capitalization of railways and tel
egraphs , and for that mattertolophono com
panies , water works companies , strcetrail-
ways and Industrial appliances of every char
acter to which the public is required to pay
tribute has wrought more ruin-aud distress
than all other agencies combined. The rail
roads of this country are-capitalized , that is
stocked and bonded for ever $10,000,000,000.
It Is safe to say that $25,000 Is a liberal es
timate of the average cost per mile of Amer
ican railroad S , and their capitalization rep
resents an average of $38,000 of water per
mile. -
"In 1801 the total net earnings of the rail
roads of the country were 3oD,227,8SJ upon
nn actual investment of only about $4.250-
000,000. It is probable that not to exceed 10
cents on the dollar on nn overaco was orig
inally paid for ttio stocks now lloatcd by the
various railroads as capital invested. The
pernicious effects of this overcapitalization
can hardly bo overestimated. It has been
ruinous alike to investors and patrons. It is
the most prolific source of bankruptcies and
bank failures. "
Mr. Rosowatcr proceeded to show how the
inflation of securities was responsible for
the financial evils of the day. Whenever
any largo enterprise was overcapitalized its
securities were floated and sold at fictitious
values , nnd then when the water was wrung
out of the stock the purchasers had to bear
the loss. It was claimed that lack of confl
uence was responsible for the financial situa
tion. How could people have confidence
when they knew that the plant of the Omaha
Water Works company , which cost about
$2,500,000 , was capitalized at $5,000,000 nnd
bonded for54,000,0001 At ono time thu stock
was considered perfectly good , but now the
plant was in litigation , nnd no one knew
that it would provo to be worth moro than
GO cents on the dollar.
Snggeitlon for 1 teller.
In conclusion ho said : "There Is ono
thing that can be done to alleyiato this
trouble. The government could sot aside a
department where ovcry dollar's worth of
corporation stock should bo registered and
examined to see whether it represented real
value or a fiction. It could say that not an
other mile of railroad should bo built that
was caultallzcd for more than Us actual
valuo. The prohibition of trusts would
amount to nothing as long as fictitious capi
talization was permittod. It would do no
coed to roocal the Sherman act twenty
times over unless the people had confidence
that the securities that lay In "tho banks
represented real value. Although it 'was
not practicable for the government to ac
quire the ownership of the railroads at this
time It was necessary that it should exor
cise moro effective supervision over them ,
"It is possible , however , for the govern
ment to acquire the possession of the tele
graph. All the telegraph systems in the
United States can bo purchased for about
f 100,000,000 , and without straining the credit
of the government. Ai a war measure
alone It Is well worth tha investment. If the
government had had control of the telegraph
the rebellion could have boon terminated
two voars before It was. With crovornmotit
control.tho olUclency and convenience'pf the
service would be promoted to a point where
they would compare more favorably with
that of London and Berlin. "
At the close ot his address Mr. Roiewater
was tendered a unanimous vote of ttfanics ,
after which the college adjourned.

tives in the house-aro much fntorestod ever
whether or not the house will adjourn or
take a recess after the silver bill goc.s
through. If there should bo an adjournment
none of these men would receive pay until
the house met again , ' but if there should bo
u recess their pay wo'uld go on just the same
as If the house was in session and they wcro
on duty.
There Is another point which members
seem to take into consideration. If there is
an adjournment thcruisu bolter opportunity
for the members to insist upon the payment
of mileage for the regular session. Members
of the committee on appropriations say that
they will not put in the appropriation bill
any nrovisiort for the ucxt regular session ,
but the members will have td vote It into
the appropriation bill themselves. In order
to make a saving on house expenses the
committee will probably favor an adjourn
ment Instead of a recess.

FOR A TAX O > JMOK1GAGES.
Erroneous Report That Wai Current

WASHINGTON , Oct. 20. There was a little
flutter among some members of the house
when the report was circulated that in the

a scheme to tax mortgages. Western men
say that taxlncfmortgages would moan that

apparent that an income tax , if adopted ,

MARSEILLES , Oct.-20. Tills port today is a
mass of flags and bunting representing Rus
sian and French colors , and everybody and
everything Is In holiday attire in anticipa
tion of the visit of the Russian sailors. The
old port and the now port , the Catalan port ,
the Basin National , the Basin Maritime , the
Basin do la Joliet , and all the other basins
of the seaport present a most at
tractive appearance from the fact
that all thovessels lying with
in them are bedecked from cutwater to Hy
ing jlbboom end , and from there to the main
tack and away aft down to the water again
with hundreds of many colored flags ,
streamers and pennants. , But the shipping
in these waters is not nlouo In displaying
bright npparol in honor of the czar'a sailors.
The streets through which the Russians are
to pass were jammed full of people in festlvo
attire and plentifully decorated with Rus
sian and French colon In badges , etc. , lonfl
before 0 o'clock in the morning.
The famous Canebiero , the wide avenue so
dear to all inhabitants of Marseilles , was
with the avenue do Noalllles , rue do Melltan
and the rue do Capucluos , the boulevard do
In Madelolno and other streets oas densely
packed with people as it has ever been
in the history of this old port.
Fort St. Jean and Fort St. Nicholas at the
entrance of the other port , ak well as the
quays around the port and the rue la Re-
publlquo , were also so crowded 'with people
that traftlc yras almost at a standstill
Street vendors of badges and patriotic portraits
traits were doing an immense trudo on the
Canoblero and elsewhere throughout the
morning ; for'tho people of Marseilles were
determined to show the Russians that while
Toulon nileht bo the greatest war port of
Franca. Marseilles , in their estimation , was
the greatest commercial port of the world.
Across the principal streets through rrhict
ho Russians worn to pass handsome trl
umphal arches were thrown. There Is no
denying * liat the pilch of enthusiasm to
which the people of this city have been
worked up Is quite equal to anything de
scribed as happening at Toulon , Paris
or Lyon * . The municipality of Mar
follies has expended lorg * sums of
money in tno decoration of publio buildings
audsuveial of them are as beautifully ar
rayed as any of the buildings In Paris.
The Italian societies are taking part In
the-festivities and have richly decorated
thole .quarter * for the occasion. This ha
ulren rise to n friendly feellne toward the
tnllans , who , for > \ long time p-ist , have
> con decidedly frowned upon , not only In
his city , but in many oth6r pirts ot Franco ,
Thus it is that Italian as well as Russian
nnd French flags are to bo scon floatlnit to
ho broo/o in several quarters of Marseilles
oday.

The Russian sailors arrived nt II o'clock
md were enthusiastically received at the
Icpot. The crowds were so dense that the

noon. The mayor of the city presided nt
the luncheon and had on ulthur sldo of him
Admiral Sir Michael Culm-Suvinour und the
duke of Genoa , in command of the ItalUn
squadron.
Although it is denied on nil sides that the
visit of the British fleet to Spczia has rt po
litical significance , there is no doubt it has
had the effect of bringing the onicers of the
Italian army and navy Into closer and more
friendly relations with the ofllcors of the
British Mediterranean squadron.
The mayor of Sppziu , In his toast to the
British sailorssaiil : "I sea in this exchange
of courtcsltis the formation of the fculing of
fraternity ncd sympathy between the two

RICSS , civilization nnd peace. I drink to the
health of ntho { empress queen , to the king
nnd queen ot Italy , to Admiral Sovmour und

Admiral Seymour , in replying , proposed
the health of the kiiig of Italy nnd the good
people of the town of Spczia. He dwelt
upon tno fntt that both nations , England
and Italy , formed a maritime company.
This remark of Admiral Seymour evoked
loud cheering. '
