Columbus Brooks, Who Killed Anothe- Negro «+ Bewier and Two Tien “a West Virginia, Arrested at Des Moines, Io. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DES MOINES, Io., Oct. 5.—Because he wore a glove on his left hand Columbus Brooks. a negro, of Bevier, Mo., will go to the penitentiary for life or will lose his life on the scaffold. Brooks was arrested here this week by the city detectives and was re- turned to Bevier by Sheriff Gilstrap. He must answer to the charge of killing Bill Kirke at mine No. 61, west of Bevier, and, in addition, there is hanging over him an unfulfilled sentence, imposed by the West Virginia courts, for killing two men in that state. = Brooks is a typical “bad man” and his arrest is occasioning both the Iowa and Missouri authorities much satisfaction. He owes his loss of liberty to his vanity, for by wearing a glove on his left hand to cover the spots where the black skin had been removed and the white snots showed, he was spotted by the Des Moines detec- tives and arrested. Some days ago a letter was received by chief of Des Moines detectives from Sheriff Gilstrap of Macon County, Mo., stating that a terrible crime had been com- mitted at Mine No. 61 and that the ac- cused, Columbus Breoks, a negro, was at arge. The description of the negro men- tioned the fact that ‘he had white spots on his left hand and that to conceal this dam- aging mark he usually wore a glove. The letter was placed in the hands of De- tectives Connolly and -Panor and the two men began the lookout for a gloved negro answering Brooks’ description. oper saw cuch a one the other day and, following him, traced him to his room. The only clue the detectives had was the fact that the negro, although a common laborer, wore a glove on his left hand. In appearance and dress he was sim'‘lar to other negroes whom the detectives passed on the street. The officers shadowed the man for several days and gradually compared him with the description sent by the M ssouri sheriff While it appeared to tally, there was only the one great clue, the left hand glove. The officers decided to take the risk and finally arrested the negro, as he returned from work on evening. Hie was taken to the city jail, denying al! the time that he was the man wanted. Yet when he arrived at the jail and was com- pelled to take off his glove the tell-tale white spots showed plainly. He continued to protest his innocence, however, and the officers were unable to place the formal! charge of murder against him fer lack of evidence. The man gave his name as Har- rv Nichols and put up such a strong talk that the officers were almost persuaded, The next mornine the chief decided to take the Bertillon meesurements and a pho- tograph of the accused, man, the informa- tion to be forwarded to Sheriff Gilstrap at phed and Macon. hy e would be The negro was dulv photo measured and was told that held in jail until Sheriff Gilstrap was heard from. The negro began to lose his composure. He was stripped to the skin and the detectives began an enumeration of the scars and white spots on his body. The office’s found a numoer of white scars shout his bedy. teok note of the white epots on the lips and on the left hand and wound up his search by discovering a long razor slash on the pack of the neck. When this | cee was d the prisoner wilted. “Don’t need go no farder. I'se youh man,”’ he said briefly. *‘Then you are the Columbus Brooks that is wanted at Macon, Mo., for murder?’ asked the chief. ‘ “Yes, sah, I guess I is.”’ Brooks expressed his willingness to fe to Macon without a requisition, and Sherif Gilstrap was notified. He arrived here Fri- day morning and returned to Macon at night with the murderer in charge. The sheriff brought news of the double murder in West Virginia of which Brooks has been convicted. He escaped from the peni- tentiary after being sent up and went to Missouri, where he took up h's residence. Brooks is now charged with the murder of William Kirke, a negro, at Mine 61, Be- vier, Mo., on the night of Sept. 23. When arrested a large revolver was found on his person. “Carryin’ guns in Missouri hain’t noth- in’,”’ said Brooks to the chief of- detectives. “Every niggah foh feet high carries a gun down in Macon County. Why, I’se had a gun since I was 10 veahs old. “Fah’s shootin’ Bill Kirke goes, de truf ob de whole mattah is we was in a big crap game «own to mine‘6] ‘bout free miles west ob Bg er and nine miles f'om Macon. Dat nigga.. owed me two dollahs which he done borrawedg moah’n a month ago, an’ refused to settle. Sundav, foh de crap game | was speakin’ ob, he done touched me foh anud- der dollah, makin’ free dollahs altogedder. When I see he was a losin’ in de game, mah money a goin’ to de udder fellahs, I bucks an’ deman’s mah coin, Kirk refused to settle, and de next t'ing we was a scrap- pin’ ovah a big gun. Deh gun goes off an’ Kirke he gets shot in dah ehest. an’ now you'se got all I knows about de whole busi- ness.”’ Brooks could not be persuaded to tell more, but claimed that he would-.have a good defense when he got back to Missouri. Sheriff Gilstarp, however. stated that the murder was a cold-blooded one, Brooks having shot down a fellow-workman at a friendly game. This, together with the old sentence hanging over him for the death of two other men, will make it go hard on Columbus Brooks, wearer of a glove on his ieft hand all on account of vanity. THE BROOMCORN TRUST. Price Has Risen to $130 a Ton in Some Parts of Illinois. CHARLESTON, Ill, Oct. 5.—The broom- corn “harvest in this section of Illinois is practically ended. The yield has been fair, but buyers complain of a great deal of cooked brush, which usually depreciates its value. This year there have been some large fires in which thousands of dollars’ worth of broomcorn was consumed, which of which had been carried over from years in which prices fell.- The effect has been that growers of brush have received good yxrices. The price varies even in the same locality, as it is an article which is not quoted. but {s bought by brokers directly for the consumers. Within the past week the-price has risen to $130 a ton, and many growers are holding in strong hopes of even more fancy figures. When it is considered that broomcorn can be raised at a profit for $60 a ton, It may be seen why raisers are independent in holding their crop. In the adjustment of the wage scale of the »reom factories at Mattoon and this city the workmen asked for a slight raise, but the high price of raw material has made it impossible for the manufacturers to accede to the demands. ~ ‘Of the 35,000 tons used annually in the brooms in the United States, 10,000 are raised in Coles County, Ilinois, 8000 in Douglas and 2000 in other parts of Illinois. This elevation of price on brush here in the field, which con- trols the market, will most probably be felt in the price of brooms all over the United States and Canada. BEAR KILLED IN TOWN.

The marked relationship which exists between diseases of the male sexual system and the well-being and happiness of mankind is of such great importance that too much stress cannot be laid upon the necessity of immediate attention being given to any one of these manhood-destroying maladies. The most important of male maladies, or, rather, those diseases which demand thé most skill in their treatment and cure, are VARICOCELE, STRICTURE, NERVO-SEX- UAL DEBILITY AND CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON. Separately or collectively these four diseases are regarded bv all well-informed physicians as the most destructive of all diseases incident to the male sexual system in the over- throw and disgrace of manliness and manhood. The greatest calamity, however, is not that these diseases are acquired or inherited. but that their victims frequently neglect their condition or content themselves with inferior treatment until the ravages of the disease make such in- NERVO- SEXUAL DEBILITY.
