fatally shot her Neither can live.
Leonard Coleman, a hired man who at
tempted to save Mrs Payton's life, is
lying seriously wounded, having re
ceived a bullet from Nntt's revolver,
hut will recover. The crime was most
horrible and unprovoked, the promi
nence of the families concerned making
it most sensational.
After Nnft was aoqnitted on being
tried for killing of Dukes, he moved to
Kansas, to near where his present farm
is situated, and managed his mother's
farm He was considered a good citi
zen and became prosperous. Until two
years age the Paytons worked for Nutt.
living on h s farm. The relations be
came strained, Jhowever, and the Payton
family, consisting of the parents and
five children, rented a farm eight miles
from Nutt's place, from Mrs A. E
Bradbury.
Mr. Payton has been away from home
most of the present winter cutting ice,
during which time Nutt renewed his
relations with the family. Nothing out
of the way was discernable in his con
duct, however, until the time of the
tragedy, when he sauntered into the
Payton hou.-ehold at a late hour under
the influence of liquor. Payton was
absent, and Coleman, the hired man.
was the only other man on the premises.
Nutt, who had lieen on a week's spree,
was in no pleasant mood, and grufl'y
ordered Mrs. Payton to get him a meal.
Mrs. Payton complied, though more
through fear than ljecau.se she cared to,
and scentinu trouble, she quietly got the
children from the room. As he ate.
Nutt became more abusive toward Mrs.
Pavton. and seemed to be tnrning mad.
When he finished eating, he deliberately
drew his revolver and pointing it at
ttie now thoroughly frightened woman,
cried, "I'm going to kill you."
Hefore she could make a move he had
carried his threat into effect ami sent
three bullets into her body. The shots
attracted Coleman, who rushed into the
house with an ax in his hand. The in
st. mt he entered, Nutt leveled his
weapon on him and fired Two shots
struck the would-be rescuer, but not be
fore he had badly wounded Nutt. He
fell to the floor, and for a time lay un
conscious in the blood that poured from
his wounds.
At the same time Mrs. Payton, with a
superhuman effort, had raised herself
from the flior and secured the ax. Nu t
had become weakened now and literally
sank in His tracks. Rushing to where
he lay. the woman, her wounds bleed
ing profusely and herself weak from ex
citement and loss of blood, rained blow
after blow upon Nutt's head Not until
her victim's head was a mass of jelly
and she too weak to longer wield the
ax. did she desist. Then she sank to
the fl'ior and went into a state of an
consciousness that lasted several hours
When Coleman recovered, finally, his
consciousness, he found both Nutt ami
Mrs Payton laying in great pools of
their blood. Tying Nutt to a chair, lest
he should escape, Coleman gave the
alarm When assistance arrived the
woman wad beyond help. Neither Mrs
Payton nor Nutt are able to relate the
story of the crime. Coleman is also in
a bad way, but will recover. Aside
from the alove facts, he steadfastly re
fuses to be interviewed. Nutt has been
removed to Atchison.

ACCEPTABLE TO JAPAN.
Tha Senate Moil in. the Japanese Treaty
It I'lm.i- the -l.il-.
Wasiunuton. Feh h The senate has
modified its former action on the Japa
nese treaty to the extent of insertm:i a
provision which will render it impossible
to abrogate the treaty before it goes into
effect. In the absence of Senator Mor
gan, Senator Frye moved reconsidera
tion of ratification, and then moved
that the word thereafter" should be
inserted in pliu-e of the words stricken
out. This word comes after the date.
1M. when the treaty takes effect, and
the entire clause reads that either nation
hall have the right on one year's notice
after that date to abrogate the conven
tion. There wa no opposition on the
part of any senator to c ha nee and
nothing was said beyond the brief com
ment by several senators that they had
never desired the tr-aty should be nulli
tied before it should become effective.
A quite important bit of information
came out in the course of the consider
tion of the matter in the shape of an as
surance from Secretary Gresharu to sev
eral of the senators that with the change
a to nullification the treaty would be
satisfactory to the Japanese "authorities
For this the secretarv of state was
quoted as saying he had" the word of the

" When my baby was born,
five yenrs ago, I got up in six

f illing of the womb. Ever sinca
I've been miserable.
"I tried even-thing : doctor?,
medicines, apparatus ; but grew
vvo'.se.
"I could hardly stand; and
walking without support was
Impossible.
" At last I saw an advertise
ment of Lydia K. I'inkham's
I'egetabte ( om found, ana de
cided to try it. The effect was
astonishing. Since I took the
first bottle my womb has not

to you, I am now well. Every
suffering woman
sh.iuld know how
r e 1 i abl e your
compound is. It
is a sure cure."

It lit really meritorious. Those who have
used Hii i.'s H air Kknkwkk know that
it does all that in claimed.
It causes now prowth of hair on balJ
heads provided the hair follicles are not
dead, which in seldom the ca.se; restores
natural color to pray or faded hair; pre
aervea the acalp healthful and clear of
dandruff; preveuts the hair falling off or
changing color; keeps it soft, pliant, lus
trous, and causes It to grow long and
thick.
Hall's TTaik Rkvkwfr produces its
effects by the healthful influence of it
Tepe table InpTedienu, which invurorate
and rejuvenate. It is not a dye. and is
a delightful article for toilet use. Con
taining no alcohol, it does not evap
orate quickly and dry up the natural oil.
