Mrs. Martha Fre-eze was arraigned this after noon before Justice Andrews for the mur der of William Gray at Roggstown yester day afternoon. She waived examination a ral declined to have; an attorney. She stated to the court that she wished to tell the story and that was all. Prosecutor Hlalr being out of the city had appointed Attorney David Km lib to act for him. Smith, being the county attorney as well as actinr. prosecutor, refused to allow her to relate the circumstances. She was bound over to court. The husband was also arralgncil, but being a. Oerman with but little education and not able to under stand the language of the affidavits, his preliminary hearing was postponed till next Monday at 2 o'clock. A representative of tho Journal secured the following statement from Mrs. Freeze after her return to the Jail from the jus tice's office: "1 was a widow when I mar ried Martin, about two years ago. I never saw Gray until last fall, although Martin has worked for him at various times. About two months ago Gray came to my house drunk while I was washing, lie made Improper advances, which 1 resented; he finally caught hold of me, and in the scuflle I broke loose and ran into another room and fnsttneil the door; after waiting a while I heard the outside eioor open and close, and thinking Gray was gone I came out. He was there and catmht hold of me. i'.f dropped down in a large rocking chair ami held to the arms. He threw me and the chair over and hurt my side." Continuing her statement, she said he forcibly criminally assaulted her and re peated the assault two weeks later, break ing down the door of her room after she had locked herself within It. undeterred by her statement that her husbaml would be home soon. She was afraid to tell her husband, she s.tid. "Since then," she con tinued, "Gray has told parties that Martin was going to work for hm. and that I was fcolng to be his wife as well as Martin's. Since he assaulted me the last time I had been thinking it over until I thought I wouhl go crazy. I made up my mind to kill him, which I have done. I think I dil right and am well satisfied, and would do the same thing over. "Martin elld not know what I was going to do ami did not know I had the revolver. I cocked It before I left home and carried It all the way under my shawl. Martin's Intention was to see Gray about work. When we got there I told Martin I would go see Gray. He didn't want me to. but 1 went, and when I saw him I walked up to him and shot without taking any aim. 1 did not sav anything to him. When I fired he said, Oh! Oh!' and started to run. 1 thought he was 'possumlng and that I had missed him until he fell, when I walked over to his side and put the gun to his neck and fired. I have simply told the truth, as I will tell It on the witness stand. I only feel sorry for Martin, for he is not to blame." Mrs. Freeze Is a modest looking woman ami gives the Impression of telling what she thinks Is the truth. Of all the attend ants at the court she was the coolest. 3Iurdcr Chfire DismlsNed.

I cannot say that I fully share the senti ment which reproaches the British govern ment for the continued use ef "dum-dum" bullets. At the peace confcrtT.ee at Th?

Terrible as is their wound as com pared with the neat, needle-like thrust of the Mauser bullet, for Instance, in the long run they are the more merciful. In South Africa both sides ued these tearing projectiles to some extent, although they were not supposd to be lssuad. 1 av. some British prisoners brought into Pre toria who had a lot of "Mark IV" ammu nition, which I the deadliest "dum-dum" made.

It was afterward stated by the British authorities that this "Mark IV" ammunition had been issued at Natal by mistake, as the British contest had always been that these bullets were intended solely for those savage foes who did not mind perforation with the clean little modern bullet. The Boers, on their side, had consider able ammunition known as the "blue-nose bullet." This projectile ha3 no Jacket at all over ltu leaden nose, which spreads out like a mushroom on reaching its target. The use of this was also the result of a mistake in issuance; it had been bought by the Transvaal government long before war was thought of, and was intended for sport ing use, hince the regular steel-Jacket bul let would not stop big game. But, on the other hand, in many instances the burghers turned their regular Jacket bullets into "dum-dums" by simply scraping off the steel at the nose, leaving the lead to flat ten as it struck; when they had no tile lor this, they rubbed them against a rock. The humane theory of the small-caliber steel bullet is that when it strikes, unless it hits a vital spot. It does not mangle, but simply puts a man out of action, and that two more men take him to the rear, thus putting three out of action. But the theory e'oes not work; for now that the magazine gun has multiplied every man in the trenches ten or twenty fold, no erect man of the attacking force can be spared to care for woundeel comrades; consequently, the man who falls is left where he is; no one can pay the slightest attention to him when every minute Is inflnitely precious and every stalking man is needed for the iinal instant. On the other hand, many of the wounds thus made are so slight that, if promptly cared for after the baile. the wounded men are able, in a few days, to bo back with their regiments. The little bullet darts through the soft part of leg or arm or body like a sewing machine needle, and If a vital spot Is not struck, and if no bones are shattered, the flesh closes up with beautiful repair, and if antlseptlelze-d the recejvery is surprising ly quick. The prompt appearance of these many slightly wounded men on the firing line is equivalent to a perpetual reinforce ment; thus the campaign is prolonged In definitely. The humane sentiment Is neutral as to the victory of either side in wirs between civilized armies, and prays only that the slaughter an destruction may cease as soon as possible. If in the early weeks of the South African struggle each man hit had been wholly disabled, if not klllea out right, it Is inconceivable that the British people would have permitted tue war to go on. If, in the Philippines, each native struck by an American bullet had been un able to recover and soon appear in arms again, that unhappy struggle would have ended long ago. Consequently,- there Is much to be conshlereel before making a wholesale condemnation of the "eluni dum." War cannot be anything but the most Infernal thing on earth, and the soon er a campaign Is over the better. We have to remind ourselves of the language of one of the generals in the civil war to his offi cers: "Gentlemen, war means fight, end fight means kill; therefore, the more you kill in any battle the sooner the misery of the war will end." An Enterprising Grocer. Philadelphia Times. The death of the man who started In this city the "chain" system of small grocery stores has aroused very little comment in view of the tiulet but more or less sure revolution he wrought In Philadelphia. That Iiis methods have come to stay can hardly be eüsputed. Proof of this is seen in the fact that in the comparatively hort time he was In business he waf able te open a new utore every month, ani that two men who have closely Imitated him have both sueeeede!. The tlr.t innovation lie matie was to keep nothing In stock which was perishable. At one blow he destroyed the fetich th;it the "neighborhood" grocer must keep fresh fruits and vegetables. Theoretically, under this new i.ystem. noth ing went to waste. Secondly, sales were made for eah only. A pa in. every day was distinguished by the offering of one or two "leaders," at which certain articles were seid at or less than coat to bring people to the store. Shrewd advertlrlnir in the form of a brilliant red paint for the stores' ex terrlor and handbills (later, after adverse legislation by Counrlli, imltntion newspa per), which were paeel In every house In the stores' neighborhood, helped Immensely. In the store lt.elf every article on the shelves was marked with a large price tag Tvhlch couhl be seen by the customer. On the street signs In brlxht red anl blue ad vertised the day's "leaders." After he had ma3e a success, too, the groceryman was enabled to start s wholesale house and to buy goods In such quantities that he could obtain articles at less cost than the agents and commission men who in turn old to the old-style grocers. nmm Colorado It beats all the money made raising suar beets in Arkansas Valley of eastern Colorado along the Santa Fe.
