James B. Gray, farmer residing In
Oakdale, Washington county Mimi,
last week, murdered his wife and
four little children-two boys and two
girls--while laboring under a fit OF
insanity. He butchered them in a
most. horrible manner, with an ax
aud a carving knife, cutting their
heads nearly off, He then tried to
hang himself, but failed. When the
deed was discovered by the neighbors,
he was found In desperate condition
of lunacy and said he killed them and
sent them to heaven He was sccur-
ed and tied with great difficulty,
being very large and powerful man
and a raving maniac. He had been
in poor health for some time, and was
afraid of dying and leaving his family
in poverty, which probably drovehiln
insane. He il forty years of age, and
went to Minnesota from Harrisburg,
Pa, fourteen years ago. His wife,
whose maiden name Was Alice Farley
was thirty-three years of age; the
youngest child was three years, and
the oldest ten years of age. 1t is one
of the most horrible tragedies of the
age HiaH. Tribune.

The st. Louis Democrat, tracing
the lines of cause and effect, says:
"!owa is a Radical State-The Yer.
mont of the West-the State where
negro suffrage was adopted by the
popular vote of a large majority
There is no State in the Union, not
even Massachusetts or Vermont,
where the control of Radical ideas
and of the Radical party is more
complete than in Iowa. If, then, as
its opponents assert, Radicalism
means rascality, Incompetence, ex-
travagance, and corruption, Iowa
will be precisely the State in which
to find all these consequences illus
trated. No better test can be desired.
Iowa is out of debt and SOS, 600
cash, on hand.
"Iowa grows more rapidly than
any other State In population and
wealth.
q Iowa is building more railroads,
and more school houses and church.
es, reads more newspapers, establish
es more libraries, and enjoys more
thorough and faithful enforcement Of
civil law than almost any other State
in the Union.
eff extreme Radicalism results in
this way, what State would not be
Radical? Vermont and Iowa, the
extreme States East and West, get
the best government at the least ex-
pense per capita. Look at the taxa
ton in those States, and compare
it with that of New York, Indiana,
or Mary land.

st. Louis business men, we are as
sured, are wakingu up. The Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep into which they had
fallen had well nigh left that once
prosperous and important city
mere way station They had been
playing second fiddle so long to Chi
gage enterprise that to fish or cut
bait" seemed inevitable. The bust
ness of st. Louis, in the past few
years, has fallen off Wonderfully
The rapidly growing towns north
and nertE,- west of it, and in some in
stances those directly west, have
been TAPPED by railroads centering
into Chicago, aud the trade has been
drawn from it's old channel st.
Louis has been controlled by old TO-
gyism. The men of the most wealth
have accumulated their fortunes i'm
the days of old by the aid Of steam
boats, and to this channel they have
relied almost exclusively while the
enterprise of Chicago has been flank
ing her with railroads on every side.
Fortunately for st. Louis. her bus
mess is passing into the hands of
younger and more enterprising men
who have appreciated the situation
for years but were unable to carry
forward their projects. The recent
movement to which we refer more
especially is that Of diverting the
grain carrying trade from the artifi-
cial channels to the natural and
more economical route down the
Mississippi. Heretofore the st. Louis
market has been blocked when for
ty or fifty thousand bushels of wheat
had accumulated beyond the demand
of the millers. They have now or
ganized n colossal grain shipping
company with capital of one mill
lion dollars and have paid up two
hundred thousand dollars to begin
with. The object of this company is
to purchase all the surplus grain in
that market at q fair valuation, quo
tations to be governed by Liverpool
alone. ed"
They have now taken step In the
right direction, and it only remains
for them to demonstrate that theirs
is the cheapest route to the market,
and the grain will naturally go there.
THERE'S no reason why the Mississip-
pi heretofore has not been the chan
mel for the grain of northern Iowa.
The farmers will hail with joy this
effort, il by so doing 1T lessons the
transportation TO the seaboard. But
to compete with Chicago and her le-
gion of wide awake men the st. Lou
is grain company will find a hercu-
laen task before them. ...E .. g.. .
