Ohs Will Ko Take* «• Kansas ta Be
Tried far Her TevrlMs Crimes—
A History af the Case.
The trial of Mrs. Elisa Davis, at Niles,
Michigan, lor grand larceny has brought
out the fact that Mrs. Monroe, Mrs. Davis’
mother, is in reality old Mrs. Bender, of
the notorious Bender family of Kansas.
A requisition has been asked for and as
soon as It arrives the prisoners will be
taken to Kansas for trial.
The history of the Bender murders
forms one of the bloodiest pages in the
annals of crime. The Bender family kept
a sort of a log tavern on a lonely Kansas
highway, and succeeded in murdering and
robbing a large number of traveler* before
their terrible crime* were detected. Their
mode of procedure woe as follows: The
unsuspecting victim would be given a
seat at the dining table so that bis head
would come near a doth partition divid
ing two rooms. Old man Bender would
take a position with an axe in the adjoin
ing room, and when the victim’s shadow
showed that his head nearly or quite
touched the doth the gray-beaded old
fiend would strike an awful blow that
would send the unsuspecting traveler to
death without the slightest warning.
The Benders would then rob the corpse
and bury it In a cellar beneath the bouse.
One day the surrounding country became
aroused over tbe disappearance of a prom
inent judge. He was traced to the Ben
der place, and there all the dues ended.
The Benders, becoming alarmed, fled in
the night, no one detecting their depart
ure. The house was searched, and tbe
whole world was startled and horrified
at the disclosures.
That was year* ago, but persistent re
search has toiled to discover tbs wherea
bouts of the murderers. Detective* “spot
ted” scores of innocent immigrants and
followed them over the west, but each
alarm proved false, and the location of
the Benders ban remained oneof the mys
teries of American criminal annals. Their
flight was greatly facilitated by the fact
that at that time hundreds of thousands
of immigrants were peopling the west,
and the whole country was dotted with
white tents and covered wagons.

Article 9, section 5 of the constitution of
the state of Washington provides: ‘That
the legislature, by general and uniform
laws, shall provide for the election in the
several counties of boards of county com
missioners, sheriffs, county clerks, treas
urers, prosecuting attorneys, and district
officers as public convenience may re
quire, and shall prescribe their duties and
fix their term of office. It shall regulate
the compensation of all such officers in
proportion of their duties.”
Article 27, section 14: “All district
and precinct officers who may be in
office at the time of the adoption of this
constitution shall bold their respective
offices until the second Monday of Janu
ary, 1891, and until such lime as their
successors may be elected and qualified
in accordance with the provisions of the
constitution; and the official bonds of
such officers shall continue in force and
effect though this constitution had not
been adopted.”
Article 4. section 26: “The county
clerk shall be, by virtue of his office,
clerk of the superior court.”
It has been thought by many that the
duties of the office of county auditor
would merge into those of the county
clerk. This has been an erroneous idea.
The office of county auditor will continue
the same as hitherto until the second
Monday in January, 1861. Such is the
case with all other county and precinct
officers. The constitution in words does
not authorise the legislature to provide
for the election in the several counties of
auditors, but it does provide for “such
county, township or precinct and district
officers as public convenience may re
quire.”
It is altogether probable that the state
legislature will provide for the office of
county auditor, if not designated by that
name; at any rate, one that has identical
dntiss. The nanus of county recorder or
register have been suggested.
As yet the county auditor, as are other
county and precinct officers, is compen
sated by fees. Under the constitution
they will be salaried.— fitiuU Prm.
railroad construction

The Railroad Agt't figure* for hack lay
ing Id the first nine month* of the year
show that the work has been going on in
IB of the 46 state* and territories, upon
224 line*, with the result of adding 3312
mile* to main line mileage. But it* ta
ble, it my*, only partially represents the
work of the railway construction which
ha* been in program, as grading is going
on or km been completed on numerous
other line* upon which track ha* not yet
been laid, while many of the roads cov
ered by the tables are in process of fur
ther extension.
The remaining three months of the
year will be marked by the rapid laying
•down of rails on numerous lines upon
which the slower preliminary work has
long been going on, and “we take no risk
la predicting that more than 1700 miles
additional track which are required to
bring the aggregate to 5000 miles will be
reported laid by the end of the year ’
Whan it le seen that the average length
of the lines thus tar completed this year
is lam then 16 miles, and that the num
ber of roads actually under construction
Is, as has ben estimated, much larger
than th« number upon which this table is
based, it will be understood that the ad
dition of bat a few miles on the average
of each company means a very large ag
gregate.
The greatest activity in construction has
been witnessed in the south. In 11 south
ern states, counting Texas as such, the
track laid this year already aggregates
1478 miles, or nearly 45 per cent, of the
total. Georgia leads the country thus far
with an addition of 2SB miles on
ent lines, followed by Texas with 179
miles, Virginia with 176 miles, Tennessee
with 170 miles. North Carolina with 147
miles, Mississippi with 140, Kentucky
with 187, and so on. Aside from the
southern states Washington territory thus
far makes the largest showing, 214 miles
having been laid on 12 lines, and this
will be very considerably increased before
the end of the year. The greatest num
ber of new roads is reported from Penn
sylvania, where 152 miles have already
been laid on fifteen lines, with much
more in progress. The New England
states, together with New York and New
Jersey, have added 285 miles, and have
several enterprises under way .—Age of

All shades of tan, suede and almond
are in high vogue.
The majority of the short jackets shown
have the vest effort.
Chocolate, plentifully tinged with
cream, is a favorite fall shade, and com
bines harmoniously with green.
The table-cover no longer hangs around
a table in great folds, but is simply large
enough to cover tbe top and edges.
White kid gloves, sewed and stitched
with black, are worn with half mourning
and with black and white frocks in Lon
don.
There is a great deal written on the sub
ject of the large and costly buttons to be
worn this toll and winter. This will
probably if the directoiro styles
are revived.
Gloves of tan and gray shades will re
main in tavor throughout the autumn and
winter. Four-buttoned glove* of either
dressed or undressed kid are worn with
walking costumes.
Gold bangles are coming down to a
mere wire, sometimes of thin films twisted
into gold. They are fastened with a
double heart, a moonstone face—that of a
pretty woman or cherub.
The red and blue reefers made of heavy
winter Jacket fabrics, and trimmed with
deep square collar and bands of beaver

Notable effects in bonnet trimming are
triplets of canary birds, and the little
white Java non, and clusters of Booth
American bumming birds and the birds
of paradise are made to do much more
than ordinary duty on the millinery of
the season.
It is quite noticeable that the most
graceful and distinguished-looking women
on the promenade wear the simplest
gowns. These are of expensive material
and tailor-made, but show an entire ab

Fashionable features of new bridal toil

of the neck. White arm are silk rivals
crepe de Chine and faille as a material for
youthful wedding ffowns.
Rich brocades on satin grounds, called

winter gowns in combination with plain
silks, satins, velvet or faced cloth for day
wear, while for evening dresses they are
made up with lace, net, silk muslin, and

“Ha! Ton refuse me, do you, Miss

The man who asked the question had
passed the first flush of youth. He was
no longer, properly speaking, a young
man. Yet he was well preserved. He
had not reached the age at which it seem
ed expedient far him to part his hair
above his ear and plaster a thin layer
thereof over the top of his head. He had
thrown aside the walking-stick of young
manhood, but had not assumed the cane
of middle age.
It is well to speak of these facts, for they
are necessary to the full understanding
of this painful history.
Moreover, they cost nothing extra.

lady, coldly.
“Then listen to me, Rachael Fllckergy

wrathful man.
He was burning the letters be had

“This is so sodden,” said the widow,
blushingly, "and so unexpected. I—l

the porpose of seeing my daughter."
"She is 100 young," replied the visitor
decidedly. “I told her so last evening.
We parted in a friendly spirit, but I gave
her to understand as delicately as I could
that I should not call to see her any more.
This is sadden, it is true, bat I trust none

"Why, air, I ”
"And now, my dear," he said at the
expiration of a happy hour, os he gently

ousht now to say our—daughter, to tell
her of this happy event."
"Shall I call her?"
"If yon please, my dear."
"Rachael," said Algernon Fits-Tbomp
