The La Crosse (Wis.) Nord Stein, hith-
erto Jealous and influential Democratic Or
gan in the German language, has put up
the names of Lincoln and Hamlin. The
Germans of that State who have before vo-
ted the Democratic ticket, are coming by
thousands into the Republican ranks.
II is said that Pine county, Minnesota,
which last year cast but two Republican
votes, is now sure to 60 for Lincoln and
Hamlin. The Germans in that vicinity
will vote the Republican ticket almost to a
man.
A German Republican Club has been or
ganized in Hamilton. 1t numbers one

MY HOME.


My home is in the valley
Where the gentle breezes come,
Far, far away from the busy strife
Is my Green Valley Home.
love to hear at close of day
The brooklets gentle hum;
And see it slowly wend its way
By my Valley Home.
'Tis sweet to hear the merry songs
When gentle sprlng has come,
OF birds that sing in joyous throngs,
Around my Valley Home.
love the bright and gorgeous flowers
Which in the vallies bloom;
But sweeter far are those that grow
Around my Valley Home.
Beauteous is the bright moon light
Which IN the evening spreads
Her silver mantle Ger
My sweet Green Valley Home.
And should from thee ever stray
Midst other scenes to roam
Ny thoughts will wander back with joy
To my Green Valley Home.

most extraordinary sacrifice and efforts

Fresh Tomatoes and Beans in Winter.

The following mode for preserving fresh
Tom.toes and Lima Beans is highly re-
commended by those who tried it last
year. It is simply to prepare stfong

having been picked uDhrokeD, are drop

preserved in this way are nearly if not

The telegraph briefly announced that
James McCue and Daniel O'Rourke had an
alteration, when McCue fatally stabbed
O'Rourke in the presence of the families Of
both. The men were Irish stevedores and
with their families occupied the attic ofa five
story tenement house, the first story being
filed with cheap drinking saloons. The
families in the building number eleven, OF
some seventy persons. The families of McCue
and O'Roprke were separated by a hall. Two
officers heard screams of "mur5eN about six
in the morning and ran up to the attic, where
a ghastly scene was presented, The Post
says;
Daniel O'Rourke lay upon the floor stone
dead, and weltering in pools of blood, which
flowed from three or four terrible gashes in
his threat, neck and breast, while around
him were gathered dozen women and chill
dren frantically shouting and screaming
Not far from the dead man stood another
named James McOue, or MCGEE, with bloody
sheath-knife in his hand, with which the
stabs had been inflicted, and around him an
other group Of women and children engaged
in the same fenzied demonstrations. An
immense crowd atonce collected in the street,
and the widest excitement prevailed in the
neighborhoOd. The officers arrested McCue
and his wife, and several others of his female
relatives who lived with him.
