Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of greater or less degree, arise from lack of knowledge of the truth, and more frequently from deception.

The most infamous case on record of deception and injustice is the attempt to demonetize silver as a money of final redemption in the United States.

There is no learned judge, skilled lawyer, or court of justice that is capable of reconciling the effort with the constitutional laws that govern the issue of money in this country.

The people have been deceived, officials in power, chosen to administer justice under the laws, have ignored their sworn duty, and given aid to the scheme that has paralyzed industry, reduced property values one-half, and beggared millions.

There is no authority of law, either specific or by inference, by which gold alone is made the only money with which to discharge debts, either public or private. The effort to make it so is unconstitutional and a national calamity.

Plain and ample information, facts, and truth, concerning this almost successful scheme to corner the wealth of the people, is now being printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a newspaper which the combined power of money has failed to muzzle or buy.

The Weekly Enquirer is only 75c. a year. The address is Enquirer Company, Cincinnati. O.

ALAMO.

lts Origin, Its People, Its Business and Professional Men. It was in 1837 that Samuel Truax was persuaded to formulate the plans of a nv town npoa hie land eleven miles southwest of Crawfordsville. A surveyor niioied Boyce was the instigator and promoter of towns in various flections o' the State, and it was ha who prevailed upon Mr. Truax ir anticipation of a good fat speculation.

A

Alamo did not make the start desired, and the lots were disposed of under the hammer and at prices to suit the purchaser. In 1840 Noah Grimes, who assisted in Alamo's early settlement, erected the tirst store and was followed by Stubbine & Milligan with another. The erection of the first cabin is credited to one Barney Deets. Alamo iB now on a steady growth although not on a line of any railroad.

Its business men are constantly on the alert and allow nothing to the good of their community to escape them. Alamo fortuately is represented in the commercial worla by these if

A ROADSIDE TRAGEDY

PRETTY EFFIE GOODWIN MYSTERIOUSLY MURDERED.

WALTER GOODWIV, HEB HI SHiXI), ACCUSED OF. THE CIUMU.

A Deed That ling Lately Startled a Heretofore Quiet and Godly Community—Little Faults Lead to a

Most Shocking Act.

HE most intense excitement was created at Mansfield, Pa., recently, when the news was given out that the body of a murdered woman had been found on the Mainesburg road back of "Normal Knoll." A general

alarm was sent out and a large crowd was soon at the scene, which is only about a half mile out from the village. The people flocked to the place by hundreds, and business of all kinds was neglected. The woman was found to be yet alive, and was taken to the house of Mrs. Stephen Mudge, where an examination was made. It was soon discovered that the wounded person was Mrs. Effie Goodwin, who was employed at the home of Mr. C. J. Beach as a domestic. As soon as the identification was sure the excitement rose to fever heat. Suspicion pointed to her husband, Walter Goodwin, from whom she had parted several months ago. Mrs. Goodwin waa hurried to the Cottage hospital at Blossburg, where she died at an early hour the following morning without regaining consciousness. The spot where Mrs. Goodwin was found is on a rise of ground 137 feet from the house of Mr. Stephen Mudge.

The story leading up to the murder Is as follows: Effie Copley was the

MRS. EFFIE GOODWIN, THE VICTIM. (From a Sketch.) bright, intelligent and pretty daughter of Mr. William Copley, a well-to-do farmer who resides in Charleston township, near what is known as Marden postoffice. Effie was full of life and fun. She had been a student at the Normal school and it was while attending that institution that she first began to receive attentions from Walter Goodwin, a promising youth who resided in the locality. About two years ago he led her to the altar as a bride, and his numerous friends congratulated him on receiving such a pretty and modest wife. They went to reside with Walter's father and mother. Soon trouble began. Finally there was a separation and Effle went to work for her husband's sister last October, who resides near Marden. On April 11, 1897, she went to work for Mr, and Mrs. C. J. Beach, at which place she remained up to the time of her murder. Four weeks ago she sued her husband for non-support. He endeavored to get her to withdraw the case, but she would not unless he would promise to moke a home and live as man and wife should live. Matters went on in this way until the morning of the crime, when Goodwin called at the house of Mr. Beach between 12:30 and 1:30 o'clock. He was admitted by Mr. Beach, who went up stairs with a light and informed Effie that her husband was there and was desirous of seeing her. She Bald "let him come up," whereupon Mr. Beach -handed the lamp to Goodwin and he went up stairs to his wife's room. They were heard talking for an hour or two. The next morning Mrs. Goodwin told Mrs. Beach that her husband desired her to withdraw the case, and that she was to give him a decided answer the next night (Friday). Mrs. Goodwin displayed nervousness all day Friday and frequently referred to her husband's coming that night. When asked what she would do if he did not come she replied, "Oh, yes, he'll be here," and then added, "we can't live this way, it must be decided tonight." She left the Beach home about 9 o'clock Friday night, as agreed upon, for the purpose of meeting her husband to give the answer she had promised. She left by the front door. That was the last seen of her until found dying on the afternoon of the next day. Mr. and Mrs. Beach say that the reason tliey did not become alarmed at her absence was because they believed she had agreed to return to her husband and had gone to Wellsboro for the purpose of withdrawing the case. The distance from the house of Mr. Stephen Mudge to where the murder was committed is 137 feet, and almost directly in the rear of it. Mrs. Mudge was aroused by what she thought was a pistol shot, about 10:80 o'clock, but she was uncertain, and finally decided It was the cats that had disturbed her, thus no investigation was made. The distance from Mr. Howard Lewis' house to where the body waa found la 350 feet The Lewises heard four pistol shots, and a woman's scream, about the same hour that the Mudgee heard it. Thev told

this the next morning before they knew anything of the murder or of any person having disappeared.

The maiden name of the murdered woman was Effie Louise Copley. Sho was born In 1875, making her a few days over 22 years of a.ge. She had been a student at the Normal school during the year 1891, but left and was employed at various lac as in the town as a domestic. In February, 1896, she was married by Justice Brewster of Wellsboro to Goodwin, who had compromised her under promise of marriage. They went to reside with Goodwin's father and mother near Wellsboro. There her child was born, but it did not live. The couple separated In November last. When she left the elder Goodwin gave her $50. and stated that it was to end all relations between her and the family.

Goodwin has been held to await the action of ihe grand jury. He will probably be tried at the next term of court. District Attorney Dunsmore of Wellsboro and J. W. Adams, Esq., of Mansfield* represented the prosecution, and David Cameron, Esq., of Wellsboro, and F. W. Clark, Esq., of Mansfield, looked after the interests of the defendant

While Goodwin woe stoutly maintaining his innocenqe a strong case was being made out against him. Gertrude Taylor aged 15 years, whose father is Charles K. Taylor of Phoenix Run.Potter county, was arrested a few days ago charged with being an accessory to the killing of Effie Goodwin. When seen in jail Miss Taylor was anything but composed. She made a statement before four witnesses which adds another feature to the already sensational case, Her statement is that she drove with Goodwin to Mansfield on the night of the brutal murder, and held the horse while he left the carriage for some purpose. This being the first that has been learned concerning Goodwin's presence in Mansfield that night, and the facts that he left the carriage, and that he had made an appointment with his wife for that night, causes all people not directly interested in the case on the side of the defendant to believe him guilty. In her statement the girl admits having drove in the vicinity of where Mrs. Goodwin was employed,and that Goodwin left her in charge of the horse and carriage in a very dark portion of the street that he had with him a revolver, which he took from one pocket and placed In another, on their way from the Goodwin farm to Mansfield, and that Goodwin was In a terribly excited condition wlien he returned to the carriage, and drove his horse at a terrific pace on the homeward journey. The father and two sisters of the

Taylor girl are at Wellsboro endeavoring to assist her as much as they can in her trouble. One of her sisters is a domestic employed at Wellsboro and the other is a school teacher from Cowanesque. The accused girl is very nervous, almost hysterical. It is believed that if she is really implicated in the murder she will break down and turn state's evidence to save herself.

She looked careworn and pale when arraigned and was exceedingly nervous, giving every indication of a person laboring under great mental strain and about to collapse.

BEES IN BATTLE.

Fleree Combatants, and Treason Mired With Patriotism.

The movements of tlfe combatants are so rapid in battle that It is difficult to follow them through all of their evolutions, but the plan of battle seems to be very simple. Two bees from the hive are sent to kill one intruder, and the latter always tries to force an entrance, even at the risk of its life. Once Inside, it makes room for others of Its companions to enter and them, gathering up its abdomen in as small a space as possible, It assumes the defensive. Two of the hive bees pounce upon it, and collaring it, fiercely they seek to find a vulnerable point between the rings of the body to sting it to death. The attacking bee just as determinedly struggles to cover every unprotected spot. If sufficient time can be gained and the attacking swarm is large enough to force an entrance, the badly mauled bees that have not been stung to death will suddenly assume the

fensive and pursue the tactics of their enemies. The contortions and evolutions of the various fighters are interesting to the observer. Should the battle go against the attacking body, the balance of the swarm flies away to seek safety, and the dead carcasses of their companions are thrown contemptuously out of the hive.

But iii the event of an opposite termination of the struggle, the poor Inhabitants are slaughtered. When their fate has been practically decided, many of them turn traitors to their cause,and in order to save their own lives they Join the forces of the attacking party, ajid display great vigor in killing their former companions. But there is honest patriotism even among bees. In every hive there are some who fight to the last and prolong the struggle for hours.
