AN INVENTOR. Awcke to Find Himself Cutting His His Own Throat After Wounci-i ing His Wife, St. Louis, May 23. William McMi'-len, of 4321 MafSt avenue, dreamed at midnight that he was Killing bis ar.d himself with the blade rn carpenter plane. He awoke to fiu3 that the horrible vision was true ia all its'dttails.

His wife, frantic with teiror screaming for help and vainly trying to force her way to the gtreet through a securely fastened door. Upon her body were eight cu which he had inflicted. He was drawing a plane blade back and iorrl across his neck in an attempt to sever his jugular vein. Ten cuts, all of a dangerous nature, were upon his ao domen. His nine children, none of whom are more than 17 years of age, who had been aroused by the cries of their mother for aid.

and were huddled together in an up-stairs apartment, added their screams to those of the'r mother. The yard was filled with neighbors who had been attracted by the conrusion, and who were trying to break through the doors to ascertain the cause of the outcry. The only person about the frenzied man who had not been moved to terror by his deed was baby Margaret, who occupied a crib alongside her parents' bed Though spattered with the blood her father and mother, she slept peacefully. It wa3 a terrible awakening for Mc-Millen. Rut he comprehended the situation immediately.

He opened the doors for the neghbors, directed that a physician be called, and helped tki police to secure whatever evidence they wished. He called his children to him, and kissed them one by one, they might know he bore no ill will against him. He expressed to his wife his deep grief for what he had done. Both were taken to the city hospital for treatment. The city pnysician says that, while the wounds of both are serious, he believes they-will recover.

McMillen is a carpenter. Six montl-s ago he read in an Eastern paper that 50.000 would be paid to the inveuior of a perpetual motion machine. He had long been working on a perpetual motion idea, and he thought he would perfect it for the reward. He plans and constructed machines. 'None of them realized Ins dream, but ha al ways seemed to be on the verge of a great discovery.

He continued at work until thought of npthing else. His health began to break under the strain. Six weeks ago he was taken to the obei-vation ward of the city hospital, his delusion being tint somebody was to kill him and take his invenfo.i from his fanily. He was released in a few days at his wife's request. She said she thought she could get along nicely with hiru.

Speaking of his deed. McMil'en says: "In my dream something told me to kill my wife and myself. 1 couldn't help it; I had to obey. I don't where I got the plane blade. Ail I know is that it was in my hand.

Mj wife begged me not to kill her as I raised ray hand to strike her with the blade. In my dream I could hear her scream and see her arms wave wild'y in the air. She tried to fight pie ft, but I was stronger, and I cut her several times. "'Then she lay over on the bed as though she were dead. I thougnt I had killed her and it was my turn.

I jabbed myself in the stomach with the blade several times, but I did not die. Tben something told me to draw the blade back and forth across my necK until mv head came off. I did until the screams of my wife and children and the noise in the yard woke rue up." PERSONAL MENTION Comings and Goings of Home People and Strangers. Dr. J.

National Chairman Stewart is to be present and make two speeches, one in the afternoon at 2 o'clock and the other at night in the Christian church. Mr.

Stewart is a leading preacher in the Christian church and was cailed a few-years ago to the pastorate of we strongest church or his denomination in New York, but declined to accept and will keep up his war against the saloon. The South Kentucky Association of the Christian church convenes here next week and Mr. Stewart will be asked to address that body on Wednesday night. It will be in the Christian church. A full ticket will be placed in the field at this convention for the city of Owensboro and the county.

Among the prospective candidates are the names of Dr. S. J. Harris, Philpot; L. W.

Baker, of Thruston; Will M. Roberts, of Yel- vington, and Jacob Sebold, of curas- ville. The Prohibitionists will doubtless take no stand on the Roberto Jocal option bill as they are not after piecemeals, but national and entire prohioi-tion of the liquor traffic. The platform will declare lor national prohibition of the beverage liquor traffic and aside from that no national question will be touched, save some kindred evils. There is, however, a platform of the Prohibition party being widely circulated by the state committee that does not even its attitude on state and local questions which it seems almost all the county conventions are adopting this year.

If they do this the party will ask for votes on one ground only "national prohibition of tne liquor traffic." A New Federal Bureau. A new departure in federal work is the establishment of the national bureau of standards. Its object is to maintain a uniform standard of TCEBCTOR SAMCKL W. RTRATT01T. weights and measures.

For a week after her minister comes to dinner, the average woman feels good enough to sav her prayers in bed. If women really looked like the fash ion-plates claim they ought to, would become the national disease. The most truthful woman in the world will make her husband's proposal a lot more romantic than it really was when she tells it to anothn woman. It is a wonderful thing that Brown ing could keep the girl he wanted tc marry watching for his love letters when she hadn't printed her poetrv yet for him to quote from. New YorK Press.

AS PEOPLE COME AND GO. When a woman tells you she can understaad why you care for her when there are so many more beau tiful than she who" would be flattered by your smiles run. A woman may forgive the one who has talked about her to the neighbor, but not the mean thing who failed to return her call. One reason why there are so many bachelors now is that men are never asked any more to hold skeins of yarn while the girls wind. A man with a far-away look is often unable to see beyond his nose.
