RER AND GIRL SHOT LOVER Killed Roberts Because Was Jealous. She Xenla, 111., March IS. Miss Kate Trainor, who shot and killed Samuel Roberts when in front, of the Hillside Hotel here at dusk Sunday night, showed no emotion when she was taken to the County Jail at Flora before her preliminary trial which is now in progress. "I killed him because I was jealous," she said. "I have no remorse. When I went to meet him I was prepared to kill him if he wouldn't make up with me. He exposed me to public scorn and I shot him." The girl's calmness did not desert her even when the revolver with which she killed Roberts was exhibited. AWAY BELOW ZERO. The Awful Cold That Comet With Eighty Degrees of Frost. It is difficult to form any conception of the degree of cold represented by 80 degrees of frost that at times prevails in certain parts of Russia. Sir Leopold McCllntock tells us how in one of his arctic expeditions a sailor was foolish enough to do some outdoor work at precisely this temperature. His hands froze, and when he rushed Into the cabin and plunged one of. them into a basin of water so cold was the hand that the water was instantly converted into a block of ice. At 25 degrees. Dr. Kane says, "the mustache and underlip form pendulous beads of dangling ice. Put out your tongue, and it instantly freezes to this icy crusting. Your chin has a trick of freezing to your upper jaw by the happy aid of your beard. My eyes have often been so glued as to show that even a wink was unsafe." During a theatrical performance given by the crew of his ship at an inside temperature of 'M degrees "the condensation was so excessive that we could barely see the performers. Their hands steamed. Wheu an excited Thespian took oft his coat It smoked like a dish of potatoes. Any extra vehemence of delivery was accompanied by volumes of smoke." Tearson's Weekly. A Wrong Diagnosis. The small boy with the big bundle of papers was observed to be moistening some of his stock in the street fountain. "Ah. my lad," said a benevolent old gentleman, "it does me good to see such an illustration of cleanliness." "What d ycr mean, boss?" asked the boy as he stared up in wonder. "Why. aren't you trying to wash the mud spots off the edge of your papers ?" "Xo. boss; you are way off. You see, eon of dese papers is two weeks old, an if I dampen 'em up a bit people will think they are just from de press an' never think of lookm' at de date. Good graft, old sport! Say, some day when I am a captain of iudustry I'll give you a job." But the benevolent old gentleman had fled. Boston l'ost. '"?-'i il Flour mk 1"!ick"j fcak-1

The examinations for the winter term at Earlham begin Saturday morning at eight o'clock. A new idea has been adopted by the faculty this year. Instead of running through with the examinations following the periods of , the day, it was deemed something new 1 to start the exams with the last hour class and run them through the rej verse way. This will cause a number of the students to remain at the col- , lege until Tuesday noon, while they j might leave for home on Sunday or 1 Monday morning, if the old method ; had been followed and much complaint ! has been heard. The registrar's ofj fice will be open to students expecting to enter next term, on Saturday morn- , ing at ten o'clock. A rush is expect ed on Saturday and Monday of next week.

IS TOO Lffl Wife of Erring Minister Also Says That He Is Weak, But She Has Pity. WILL NOT RETURN TO HIM. Hartford, Conu., March 18.-M.rs. Jere Knode Cooke, wite of the former Hempstead minister who deserted her to elope with Floretta Whaley, today paid her respects both to him and his published interview from San Francisco, in which he said he was "down and out," and had failed to "buck the world." "I pity Jere Cooke from the bottom of my heart," she said, "and I pity the girl quite as much. I am sorry to hear that he has been obliged to telegraph to grandmother for financial assistance. Hut I am not surprised "As to his statement that he could not 'buck' a rebuking world with success, he was neither strong enough nor did he have the inclination. Jere is too lazy for any such a strenuous fight." Mrs. Cooke is apparently quite contented to remain here with her father. She will not take Cooke back even if he begs forgiveness.

ALL IREJjOW DEAD Wife and Twins of John Decker Resting in Little Cemetery.

INDIGNATION IS EVIDENT. New Castle, Ind., March IS Indignation has increased among the people of this city against John Decker, who several weeks ago deserted his family, by the death of his child, making three members of his family to die since his leaving and his whereabouts are yet unknown. The child died and was buried beside the body of the mother and sister In the cemetery at Mt. Summit. Some days after Decker deserted his family the wife gave birth to twin girls. Neglect following the births and inability to secure proper care for lack of funds caused the woman to be in a bad condition when the ladies of the Methodist Aid society learned of the case and took charge. The first victim was one of the twins and it was buried. Then the neglect suffered by the mother asserted itself and she died and was buried. Sympathetic persons took charge of the remaining child and gave it every care, but in vain, it died. Decker is still absent from the city and should he return there is every probability that serious charges will be filed against him and pushed vigorously.
