COLD-BLOOD MURDER Bud Taylor Shoots Ruth Nollard in Kansas City-Lay in Wait for Her Three Days. Kansas City, Mo., March 2.—Ruth Nollard, 18 years old, was shot and killed on the street this afternoon by Bud Taylor, 23 years old, a base bail player, formerly her sweetheart, with whom she had quarrelled. The girl and her sister were walking along Ninth street near Broadway, in a crowded business district of the city. Taylor sitting in the window of a second story room in a lodging house opposite, fired three shots from a repeating rifle. Two bullets struck her, one passing entirely through the chest and the other entering just below the heart and lodging near the fifth rib at the back She died in less than an hour. Miss Nollard lay bleeding on the sidewalk ten minutes, a great crowd gathering meanwhile. The police arrester Taylor in the lodging house room, and had dulcidity in getting him through the mob, many members of which clamored for the lynching of the murderer. Miss Nollard and Taylor had been engaged to be married, but disagreed a month ago and the girl forbade Taylor to come to her house. Two weeks ago Taylor choked her almost into insensibility and threatened to kill her at the first opportunity. He was arrested on complaint of Miss Nollard for assault with intent to kill and was released on bond two weeks ago. His trial was to have taken place next Wednesday. Taylor rented a room in the lodging house three days ago. The landlord says he stayed in the room during the day time and it is supposed that he had sat in the window for many hours, rifle in hand, waiting an opportunity to pick off the girl without striking others in the crowded street. She was in the habit of passing the house every day. Taylor did not fire when the girls were opposite the window, but waited till they had gone past fifty feet, making sure of not injuring the sister. Last year Taylor played ball with an eastern team, and the year before he played with the "Nebraska Indians." Miss Nollard lived with her father, and was a dry goods' clerk. ROOSEVELT ATTENDS CHURCH.

Mr. Roosevelt al- has been a member of the dutch Reform church, following the practice of his fiefdom for many genera- tions past, but as there is no Dutch Reform congregation in Washington, he has selected the German Reform as the nearest approach to it and will be in attendance at that church during his residence in Washington. After the service Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt called at the executive mansion and paid their respects to President and Mrs. McKinley. Returning to the Cowles home, luncheon was served, at which, besides the family, there were present Senator and Mrs. Lodge and Senator Kean of New Jersey. The early afternoon was devoted to receiving callers. Among these were Senator Hawley, chairman of the military committee of the senate; Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, Justice White and a number of the members of Colonel Roosevelt's old regiment, who happened to be in the city. Later in the afternoon Mr. Roosevelt made a few personal calls and returned in time to attend a dinner given in his honor by Senator Depew.

NAUGURATION ADDRESS DELIVERED Washington, March 4.—Wm. McKinley, a second time is president of the United States. He was ushered into that office today in a city ablaze with more and finer decoration than ever gracew a holiday-loving national capitol, whose streets today resounded to the tread of more marching soldiers and sailors than ever have participated in a, like function, and had as witnesses to the ceremonies a vast multitude who cheered frequently whenever he, or his vice-presidential colleague was visible There has been better weather on inauguration days and there has been, much worse than that which attended, today's ceremonies. The day in the early forenoon gave promise of being a golden spring day, and as Prof. Moore, the chief of the weather bureau, last night very confidently and with much emphasis predicted, but the weather was in capricious mood, and by noon a slow drizzle had begun that lasted with some intermissions and an occasional lively downpour until late in the afternoon. The worst of the wet weather, unfortunately, came just at the time President McKinley was being inducted into office on the east front of the capitol and in the presence of a crowd estimated to number 40,000 persons, but the air was mild and weather, so the day ended with dry been maid, that as stated, there have than the worse inauguration days Garn storm adt was inaugurated in a delo harrison in a cold rain that dar the city from dawn until and Cleveland took the oath th his second inaugural before 10- cheering people, in a fierce gale, with the snow beating down upon his bead. Toda downpour was at the most interesting point of the proceedings, while the oath was being administered on the east front of the capitol again brought forward the agitation in favor of April 30th as the date for future inaugurations. Immediately after taking the oath of office, President McKinley made the following address: "My Fellow Citizens: When we assembled here on the 4th of March, 1897, there was great anxiety with regard to our currency and credit. None exists now. Then our treasury receipts were inadequate to meet the current obligations of the government. Now they are sufficient for all public needs, and we have a surplus instead of a deficit. Then I felt constrained to convene the congress in extraordinary session to devise revenues to pay the ordinary expenses of the government. Now I have the satisfaction to announce that the congress just closed has reduced taxation in the sum of 41 millions of dollars. Then there was deep solicitude because of the long depression in our manufacturing, mining, agricultural and mercantile industries and the consequent distress of our laboring population. Now every avenue of p. action is crowded with activity, labor is well employed and American products find good markets at home and abroad. Our diversified productions, however, are increasing in such unprecedented volume as to admonish us of the necessity of still further enlarging our foreign markets by broader commercial relations. For this purpose reciprocal trade arrangements with other nations should in liberal spirit be carefully cultivated and promoted. "The national verdict of 1896 has for the most part been executed. Whatever remains unfulfilled is a continuing ooligation resting with undiminished force upon the executive and the congress. But fortunate as our condition is, its permanence can only be assured by sound business methods and strict economy in national administration and legislation. "We should not permit our great prosperity to lead us to reckless ventures in business or profitability in public expenditures. While the congress determines the objects and the sum of appropriations, the officials of the executive departments are responsible for honest and faithful disbursement, and it should be their constant care to avoid waste and extravagance. Honesty, capacity and industry are nowhere more indispensable in public employment. These should be fundamental requisites to original appointment and the surest guarantees against removal. "Four years ago we stood on the brink of a war without the people knowing it, and without any preparation or effort at preparation for the impending peril. I did all that in honor could be done to avert the war, but without avail. It became inevitable, and the congress at its regular session, without party division, provided money in anticipation of the crisis and in preparation to meet it. "It came. The result was signally favorable to American arms, and in the highest degree honorable to the government. It imposed upon us obligations from which we cannot escape and from which it would be dishonorable to seek to escape. We are now at peace with the world, and it is my fervent prayer that if differences arise between us and other powers they may be settled by peaceful arbitration and that hereafter we may be spared the horrors of war. "Intrusted by the people for a second time with the office of president. I enter upon its administration appreciating the great responsibility it which attach to this renewed honor and commission, promising unreserved devotion; on my part to the faithful discharge and reverently invoking for my guidance the direction and favor of Almighty God. I should shrink from the duties this day assumed if I did not feel that, in their performance, I should have the cooperation of the wise and patriotic men of all parties. It encourages me for the great task which I now undertake to believe that those who voluntarily committed to me the trust imposed upon the chief executive of the republic will give to me generous support in my duties to 'preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States' and to 'care that the laws be faithfully executed.' The national purpose is indicated through a national election. It is the constitutional method of ascertaining the public will. When once it is registered it is a law to us all, and faithful observance should follow its decrees. "Strong hearts and helpful hands are needed and, fortunately, we have them in every part of our beloved country. We are reunited. Sectionalism has disappeared. Division on public questions can no longer be traced by the war maps of 1861. These old differences less and less disturb the judgment. Existing problems demand the thought and quicken the conscience of the country; and the responsibility for their presence as well as for their righteous settlement rests upon us all—no more upon me than upon you. There are some national questions in the solution of which partiotism should exclude partisanship. "Magnifying their difficulties will not take them off our hands nor facilitate their adjustment. Distrust of the capacity, integrity and high purposes of the American people will not be an inspiring theme for future political contests. Dark pictures and gloomy forebodings are worse than useless. These only becloud, they do not help to point the way of safety and honor. 'Hope maketh not ashamed.' The prophets of evil were not the builders of the republic, nor, in its crisis since, have they served it. The faith of the fathers was a mighty force in its creation, and the faith of their descendants has wrought us progress and furnished its defenders. They are obstructionists who despair and who would destroy confidence in the ability of our people to solve wisely and for the civilization the mighty problems resting upon them. "The American people, intrenched in freedom at home, take their love for it with them wherever they go, and they reject as mistaken and unworthy the doctrine that we lose our own liberties by securing the enduring foundations of liberty to others. Our institutions will not deteriorate by extension and our sense of justice will not abate under tropic suns in distant seas. As heretofore, so hereafter will the nation demonstrate its fitness to administer any new estate which events devolve upon it, and in the fear of God will 'take occasion by the hand and make the bounds of freedom wider yet.' If there are those among us who would make our way more difficult we must not be disheartened, but the more earnestly dedicate ourselves to the task which we have rightly entered. The path of progress is seldom smooth. New things are often found hard to do. Our fathers found them so. We find them so. They are inconvenient. They cost us something. But we are not made better for the effort and sacrifice and are not those we serve lifted up and blessed? "We will be consoled, too, with the fact that opposition has confronted every onward movement of the republic from its opening hour until now, but without success. The republic has marched on and on, and its every step has exalted freedom and humanity. We are undergoing the same ordeal as did our predecessors nearly a century ago. We are following the course they blazed. They triumphed. Will their successors fail, falter and plead organic impotency in the nation? Surely after 125 years of achievement for mankind we will not surrender our equality with other powers on matters fundamental and essential to nationality. With no such purpose was the nation created. In no such spirit has it developed its full and independent sovereignty. We adhere to the principles of equality among ourselves, and by no act of ours will we assign to ourselves a subordinate rank in the family of nations. "My fellow citizens, the public events of the past four years have gone into history. They are too near to justify recital. Some of them were unforseen: many of them momentous and far reaching in their consequences to ourselves and our relations with the rest of the world. The part which the United States bore so honorably in the thrilling scenes in China, while new to American life, has been in harmony with its true spirit and best traditions, and in dealing with the results its policy will be that of moderation and fairness. "We face at this moment a most important question—that of the future relations of the United States and Cuba. With our near neighbors we must remain close friends. The declaration of the purposes of this government in the resolution of April 20, 1888, must be made good. Ever since the evacuation of the island by the army of Spain the executive, with all practicable speed, has been assisting its people in the successive steps necessary to the establishment of a free and independent government, prepared to assume and perform the obligations of international law which now rest upon the United States under the treaty of Paris. The convention elected by the people to frame a constitution is approaching the completion of its labors. The transfer of American control to the new government is of such great importance, involving an obligation resulting from our intervention and the treaty of peace, that I am glad to be advised by the recent act of congress of the policy which the legislative branch of the government deems essential to the best interests of Cuba and the United States. The principles which led to our intervention require that the fundamental law upon which the new government rests should be adopted to secure a government capable of performing the duties as discharging the functions of a separate nation, of observing its international obligations, of protecting life and property, insuring order, safety and liberty and conforming to the established and historical policy of the United States in its relation to Cuba. "The peace which we are pledged to leave to the Cuban people must carry with it the guarantee of permanence. We became sponsors for the pacification of the island and we remain accountable to the Cubans, no less than to our own country and people, for the reconstruction of Cuba as a free commonwealth on abiding foundations of right, justice, liberty and assured order. Our enfranchisement of the people will not be completed until free Cuba shall be a reality, not a name: a perfect entity, not a basty experiment bearing within itself the elements of the failure." "When the treaty of peace with Spain was ratified on the 6th of February, 1899, and ratifications were exchanged nearly two years ago, the congress his indicated no form of government for the Philippine islands. It has, however, provided an army to enable the executive to suppress insurrection, restore peace, give security to the inhabitants, and establish the authority of the United States throughout the archipelago. It has authorized the organization of native troops as auxiliary to the regular force. It has been advised from time to time of the acts of the military and naval officers of the islands of my action in appointing civil commissions, of the instructions with which they were charged, of their duties and powers, of their recommendations, and of the several acts under executive commission, together with the very complete general information they have submitted. These reports fully set forth the conditions, past and present, in the islands, and the instructions clearly show the principles which will guide the executive unifl the congress shall, as it is required to do by the treaty, determine 'the civil rights and political status of the native inhabitants.' "The congress lying added the sanction of its authority to the powers already possessed and exercised by the executive under the constitution, thereby leaving with the executive the responsibility for the government of the Philip pines. I shall continue the efforts already begun until order shall be restored throughout the islands, and as fast as conditions permit will establish local governments, in the formation of which the full co-operation of the people has been already invited, and when established will encourage the people to administer it. The settled purpose which long ago prevail for the inhabitants of the islands self-government as fast as they were ready for it, will be pursued with earnestness and fidelity. Already something has been accomplished in this direction. The government's representatives, civil and military, are doing faithful and noble work in their mission of emancipation and merit the approval and support of their countrymen. The most liberal terms of amnesty have already been communicated to the insurgents and the way is still open for those who have raised their arms against the government for honorable submission to its authority. Our countrymen should not be deceived. "We are not waging war against the inhabitants of the Philippine islands. A portion of them are making war against the United States. By far the greater part of the inhabitants recognize American sovereignty and welcome it as a guaranty of order and of security for life, property, liberty, freedom of conscience and the pursuit of happiness. To them full protection will be given. They shall not be abandoned. We will not leave the destiny of the loyal millions in the islands to the disloyal thousands who are in rebellion against the United States. Order under civil institutions will come as soon as those who now break the peace shall keep it. Force will not be needed or used when those who make war against us shall make it more. May it end without further bloodshed, and there be ushered in the reign of peace to be made permanent by a government of liberty under the law." THE SESSION ENDED The River and Harbor Bill Declared St. Louis Fair Bill Passed. Washington, D. C., March 4—T river and harbor bill, carrying nearly $60,000,000, died on the calendar of the fifty-sixth congress. The reduction of the war revenue tax made it necessary for something to die in the appropriation line, and the river and harbor bill was the most prominent candidate for a funeral. Connected with its failure there is an interesting story. The river and harbor committee had been exceedingly generous to the state of Arkansas, the home of the democratic national chairman and of senator Berry. Both of these senators were anxious to secure the passage of the bill. I the agreement to permit the Cul and Philippine resolutions to pass was the promise on the part of the republican leaders that this bill would be passed.. This is given as the reason for the surrender to the republican plans on the part of Senators Jones and Berry. The St. Louis bill in its original entirety passed the senate this morning at 5:15 o'clock, and the great World's fair is assured.

Peking, March 3.—The American preparations for departure art going actively forward. All supplies, except enough for two companies, have been packed and marked for Manila. The British plans contemplate a summer along the Peiho and a general withdrawal of forces to India, leaving behind, by next winter, half a battalion of Welsh fusiliers as a legation guard in Peking, together with an Indian regiment, to guard the railroad. The Germans show few signs of intention to depart, but they are endeavoring to sell 50,000 American and Australian horses, as well as a quantity of camels. It is reported the French intend to withdraw most of their forces, leaving only an infantry brigade, a regiment of cavalry and some artillery to protect the French legation and to guard the lines of communication. A part of this, it is understood, will be employed to guard the Franco-Belgian railroad from Peking to Paotingfu. In French military circles it is freely asserted that the French intend to send a force to be stationed permanently at Hankow, and to guard the other end of the Buhan railroad, 120 kilometers of which have been captured. More denite information on the spoint is awaited with anxiety by the British, who regard such an intention with serious misgivings, because it is calculated to bring about complications with the Yangtse viceroy, if for no other reason. Particularly noticeable just now are the sharp lines drawn between the various nationalities at the social functions. General Caslee, the British commander, gave an elaborate dinner at which only British, German and American representatives were present, including ministers and secretaries of legations. M. De Gler, the Russian minister, gave a banquet at which only Russians, Frenchmen and Austrians were guests; while the Japanese minister entertained at dinner last evening all Americans and Japanese. The Officers' club at the Temple of Heaven, where games and other amusements are provided, is attended only by the English Americans and Germans, with the possible exception of a few Japanese on rare occasions. The ministers of the powers now meet thrice a week, but no business of great importance is transacted. They are now going over local claims. The subject of legation defenses is also being considered, although this will be left for final consideration until the United States government has reached the decision as to the legation barrack question, which the legation is anxious to have settled immediately, in order that the building may be constructed before the rainy season sets in. BURIAL OF WILLIAM M'EVARTS Remains Lead to Rest in c Family Lot at Windshoe, Vermont. Windsor, Vt., March 3.—The remains William M. Evarts, who died in New York last Thursday, were brought to Windsor in a special car last evening, accompanied by members of the family, save Mrs. Evarts and Mrs. Beaman, who were taken to the Evarts mansion for the night. A brief service was held at the house this morning for the family, and the public services were held at St. Paul's church at noon, the Rev. E. H. Goddard, the rector, officiating. This is the church in which Mr. Evarts was married in August, 1843. The church was filled with a large, sympathizing crowd of people. The floral remembrances were profuse. The pallbearers were all former farm employees of Mr. Evarts. Beside the immediate family there were present from out of town Mr. and Mrs. J. Evarts Tracey of Plainfield. N. J.; Mrs. Henry Ward, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Steele of Springfield. Mass.; J. Evarts Greene of Worcester. Mass.; the Misses Tiffey of Washington, D. C.; Reginald Foster and Charles P. Searle of Boston, Henry Steele Wardner and all of the Wardner and Johnson families of New York, and Miss Martha Lamson of Boston. The interment was in the Asoutner cemetery in the family plot. BOOK TRUST GIVES UP. Old Law Remains in Force - Board Non-Partisan Topeka, Kas., March 3.—The death of the school book bill in the legislature last night makes it the duty of Governor Stanley to appoint a book commission of eight members under the old law to succeed the present commissioners, whose terms expire in May, 1962. The present law provides for a non-partisan commission, not more than three members of which shall belong to any one party, so when Stanley gets ready to make up his list he will have places for only three Republicans. The bill which died would have given places for five Republicans, a majority. Agents of the book trust tried today to hold a majority of the legislators here in order to resurrect the book bill tomorrow, but made little headway. It is believed that two-thirds of the members have gone home. The trust people practically gave up the fight tonight. Judge David Martin Dead Topeka, Kas. March 2. Judge David Martin, formerly chief justice of the Kansas supreme court, died tonight at his home in Michison, Kansas, aged 61 years. Kansas City, Mo., Marcel C. Captain J. Moore, R. I. Heygain, and T. Runciman are registered in the Coates house from London. They are buying horses for the English army, Captain Moore, in talking to a reporter, said : "I have nothing at all to say. We are in this country to buy horses and mules, and further than that I have nothing to give out for publication." "Captain Moore left last night for St. Louis, R. L. Heygain and T. Runciman went to Sheridan Wyo., in view of securing a shipment of horses from there. A. Peculiar Hallucination Wichita, Kas., March 3—Sam Miller, a 25-year-old negro in the city fall here, labors under a peculiar hallucination. He imagines that he is under suspicion of assaulting a white woman, and that a mob wants to lynch him. He appeals pitifully to his imaginary victim not to accuse him and avoid having his blood upon his soul. He has been reading accounts of the recent lynching in Indiana. Hurricane McPherson Hurricane at McPherson, Kan. McPherson, Kas., March 3. Shortly after midnight last night the wind changed to the west and developed into a hurricane, doing considerable damage to buildings. The new round-house just about completed by the Union Pacific railroad was completely demolished, the entire work being torn from the foundation and the large timbers used in the frame work were twisted and broken off. No other serious damage is known. Aa Ensufful Wife Killed Victoria, B. C., March 3—From Peking news was received of the murder of Mrs. Lindsberg and the mortal wounding of Lieutenant Deining of the Bombay cavalry. by Lieutenant Lindsberg, a Danish office Mrs. Lindsberg, his wife, had run away and gone to Peking with Deining. On finding them together Lindsberg killed his wife immediately mortally wounding Deining and then committed suicide. An Economical Woman "If some women are extravagant, there are others who balance the scale with their economies," says a New York business man. "I was taking my luncheon at a down-town restaurant the other day when a shabby-dressed woman came in. "Waiter, I want the best steak you can give me for 30 cents," she said. "We have no thirty-cent steak, madam," the waiter answered. "No thirty-cent steaks!" cried the woman, in disgust; 'haven't you something you can warm up for me?' "No. Madam," replied the waiter. "Well, how much is your tea?" "Ten cents." "Ten cents! Well, it isn't worth it. How much are your stews?" "Fifteen cents." "Can't you let me have a stew for less than that?" "No. madam." "Well, you can bring me some tea, some toast without butter, and a stew." "The woman finished her luncheon, raid 30 cents for it, and want out grumbling that she shouldn't have paid more than 25, while the waiter growled that if he waited on a woman like that again he would know it. "Who was that woman?" I asked the proprietor of the restaurant when I left. "Hatty Green,' he answered.—New York Times. ```markdown ``` Gives a perfectly white, full 100 candle power light on sun- soot or oder.
