Murder of Irish 3Iayor Rouses
Entire Island.
Motive for Crime Continues To
Be Deep Mystery.

Lord Goyernor Accused of Re
sponsibility for Outrages.
Mast i'ow Reconquer Ireland toy
Force, Says Post.
.London, March- 2 2. Dispatches
from Ireland show the murder of
Thomas Mac Curtain, lord mayor of
Cork, to have produced an intense if
subdued, sensation thruout Ireland
This tragedy says the London Times
correspondent in Dublin, closed one of
the blackest -weeks since the rebellion
in 1916. He Kives a Ions list of out
rages in. various parts of the island,
including five murdrrs of policemen
and others and an attempt to kill Pro
fessor Stockley of Cork.
The motive of the murder of the
lord mayor continues as mysterious as
ever. No arrests have been reported,
nor. bo far as known, have any-clues
4 to the -perpetrators been obtained.
Arnonp th theories advanced is one
that Mac Curtain was murdered as a
warning to others, because ho recently
had the courage to publicly deprecate
o.n attempt to murder a. policeman in
Cork.
Charge Murder Societies.
Newspapers, while unreservedly con
demning the crime, maintain it does
not differ from those which long: have
terrorized Ireland. It is declared that
Ireland for the moment is largely un
der the domination of secret societies,
the members of which are sworn to
kill those whom they believe to stand
in their way. but who the conspira
tors are puzzles the police as much as
the public.
It remarked as phenomenon that
where -there are murder societies
members after a while begin to be
suspected of murdering each other.
Kxistence of these supposed societies
is declared possible owin$r to the
'moral cowardice of tire Irish public.'
The crimes the societies commit are.,
repupnant to the better sort of Sinn
Keiners. who. however, keep silence,
fearing! tne consequences if they con
demn assassinations, the papers say.
, Denounce Home Rule.
Even newspapers which support
home rule whiie condemning what
they regard as the present evil sys
tem of Ir:sh government, also de
nounce Irishmen themselves for con
doning methods which, they say. are
fast establishing- a condition of an
archy and terrorism, under which their
own leaders may soon be powerless to
deliver them.
The anti-home rule Morning Post
again attacks the government today
and denounced Marshal French and
James Ian MacPherson, saying; ,
"They are bringing about the
hideous necessity of reconquering Ire
land by 'foro of arms and civil
war is within sisht.' "

"END OF THE RAINBOW"
Miss Eva Corning; Tells of I'nhappy
Little Girls Who Have Come
Under Her Observation. r
Stories" of trnliappy little iglrls are'
the daily rot of Miss Eva Corning, pro
bation officer. Below are ft lew of the
-tales of children whd- left their homes
seeking; the "end of the rainbow".- The
stories were written, by Miss Coral irg.
v Hossle, ,13 years old. u -tired of
home ties because she said her par
ents oia not love ner. cme-nignt sne
packed her grip with all her belong
ings and about -the"- midnight hour,
when the household was wrapped in
slumber, she slipped down the stairs
and out of the house.
She had written a letter to relatives
in a distant state asking them to send
hermony by special delivery and she
thought she could stay around and
watch the postoffice for her "special.'
She met a kindly man who observing
her carrying the heavy grip and that
she was tearful and unhappy asked
her of her troubles and sent the little
girl to the Y. W. C. A. I was called
to take charge of the little girl.
The troubles of the little irl were
taken up with her parents and a pro
gram arranged for her happiness and
care.
Mary was 11 years old and her par
ents could not manage her. She was
left at the detention home for a while
and then allowed to go home to try
again." A few weeks later, just in the dusk
of the evening a rap was heard on the
door-of the detention -home. When
the matron opened' the door, there
stood -little Mary with a triumphant
smile on her face. She had escaped
I from her home and ran for the de
tention home as fast as her little feet
would carry her and all the-poHce in
Topeka could not find her. 'Now' she
has a new home and is very happy
and is said by those who know her' to
be a very dear little girl. . .,.
Lorane,' 14 years old. lived in west
ern village. -Her mother is dead.- Her
father remarried and has a family-by
his second :wife. : He believed Lorane
old enough tc. htft for herself. -So
among strangers she was sent to make
her own way. Washing dishes,- sweep
ing and being all around handy rtnaid
did not appeal to her taste,; so. she
gathered together her small earnings
and, slipping out mto the darkness of
the night, boarded-a. train for Topeka.
where she -found' loving relatives to
take her in- She-appealed to them to
prevent her from being taken back to
her father's home, where she said she
had often found the door locked
against her and had been forced to
sleep in the hay in the barn. Kind
friends brpught her to the Juvenile
court" for protection. Arrangements
were made for Lorane to live with rel
atives of her choice and her father
was required to pay to the court a sum
of money for Lorane's education and
care. I recently received this letter
from the girl:
Mv dear Miss Corning:
Your letter was received and I -am se
glad to know you think of me. I am go
ing to school and I like my-new home
fine. I nave some pretty new clothes and
good treatment and lota of good-- things to
eat. Hope to hear from you again. -LORANE.

attempted to disperse a meeting of
radical workmen.

This district is one of the strongholds
of the radicals who adopted military
tactics to guard their positions. They
dug trenches, mounted machine guns
and erected barricades. The workmen
were reported all heavily armed. -
The Independent Socialists, it was
learned, were responsible for President
Ebert's refusal to accept the resigna
tion of Defense Minister Noske. They
held that, for Noske to retire at this
time would be too great an indication
of weakness on.'the part of the gov
ernment. . t

; Chk-ago. March 22. CORN Fresh up
turns iu the price of corn took place today
owing chierly to the relative lifthtuest i of
receipts and to lack of selling presaure. The
fact that arrivals were scanty emphasized
the insufficiency of stocks on baud. Ex
cellent weather failed to act as an offset.
Opening prltea, which varied from un
changed flRiires to 3c higher, with May
$1.55 to $l.Mtt and July $150 to $l.o0,
were followed by gains all around.
Continued dry weather and high winds
in the southwest threatening the wheat
crop there had a further bullish influence.
On the advance, July and September deliv
eries of corn reached the highest prices
yet this season. The close was nervous at
a gain of 3'4c to 3',ic net with May $l-os!
to $1.59 and July $1.52 to $1.52V$.

SUITED WIFE'S CASE
: rhls Is What Raioad Man Says
Digestion Made Perfect She
Gains Twelve Pounds.
"The very first bottle ef Teniae mv
wife took did her more good than
other treatments and medicines that
cost hundreds of dollars." was the
: truly remarkable statement made hv
j the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy
Railroad, while telling of his wife's
experience with Tanlae In the Owl
drug store.
"Although my wife had tried moEt
everything nothing seemed to do her
any good, and she had reached the
point where she Just had to have
something to restore her strength or
give up entirely and take to her bed.
As this was her condition when she
began taking Tanlae vnu con Inuffir.
taking only five bottles of Tanlac she
has gained twelve pounds In weight
and Is enjoying as good health or bet
ter as she did before her troubles
started four years ago. Her stomach
had been all out of order for all these
years, she had no appetite and al
though she ate very little her food
soured and caused her great distress.
Her nervous system seemed to be shat
tered, and her rest was so broken at
night she could get but little sleep.
She suffered with constipation, had se
vere headaches nearly all the time,
and often had such dizzy spells It was
all she could do to keep from falling.
She also had such Intense pains across
the small of her back that it was dif
ficu It for her to stoop over and
straighten up, and finally got In ruch
bad condition it was simply Impossible
for her to do her housework.
"Tanlac seemed to suit her case ex
actly, and she began to get better soon
after she started taking It. Her stom
ach Is in such splendid condition she
can eat just anything she wants and
everything agrees with her perfectly.
She pever has a headache or dizzy
spell, and has regained her strength
so she can do her housework, with the
greatest ease. Her nerves are In such
good condition she sleeps ss peaceful
as a child all night long and always
gets up feeling greatly rested. Since
taking Tanlac she does not seem like
the same woman, as it has Just built
up her whole system. You may say
for me that my wife and myself think
there Is no other medicine in the
world like Tanlac, and we will always
praise It."
