cent from the Milwaukee & st. Paul still.re-
mains uncontradicted, and we surmise the

these Two corporations:

Wool Manufac turers,

At the recent meeting of the Wisconsin
Wool Manufacturers Association held in
Milwaukee, the following rules for
the inspection and purchase of wool were
adopted, which we publish for the informa-
ton of those interested:
WHEREAS, Owing to the inexperience of
country buyers, the discrimination between
clean wool honestly put up, and other woods
of inferior quality and condition has been
so little as to discourage growers who de-
sire to present their wool for sale in prime
condition, aud
WHEREAS, 1t is desirable to encourage the
farmers and benefit the wool growing inter-
ests of the state by raising instead of lower
ing the standard of the wool as compared
with that of other states, it is
Resolved That the following rules are
adopted aud will be strictly adhered to by
the members OF this association:
RULEs-We abolish entirely the distinc-
ton between washed and unwashed as a
basis on which to establish prices, and
shall purchase all wool on its merits as
merchantable or otherwise.
Merchantable feeces must be dry, washed
free from the yolk, we'll tagged Hp, Wlthout
more Irvine than is necessary to hold the
heeces closely together, and free from burs,
chaff and other foreign substance. The
standard price on all wool purchased will
be based on the price of merchantable WOOL
Understandable wool consists of feeces
unwashed or poorly washed, damp, bury
cotted. stuffed with dirt poorer put inside
of merchantable, so that the fleece may ap-
pear better than it is; also black feeces.
buck s feeces and those put up with undue
amount of Irvine. Meaning to cover all
woods that from whatever cause under our
denomination for merchantable wool would
be rejected. This includes tags, which
should be cleansed and tied up separately,
Instead of fleeces otherwise understandable.
Resolved, That we will purchase no IN
merchantable wool at full prices, or at any
price that in our judgment will discour-
| age the grower who puts up his wool hon
estly and well.

Thepast severe winter has demonstrated
the value OF trees as a wind break around
orchards and buildings. In this connection
we are glad TO mention that Daniel Holmes
is setting out 800 forest trees on his farm
on the river road south ofthis village. We
should be glad to mention the same fact
concerning others.
Last Saturday Mr.. Z. Holmes exhibited
in the street his fine Ayrshire Bull "Baldy,"
which he purchased last winner of Charles
Hazen, of Ladoga. The animal attracted
much attention as we'll he might, for lie is
Taurus of unblemishea turn.

Would it not be good plan for our
merchants to furnish pine sticks for the

the boxes in front of their stores 1t would
save the boxes. and we do not know but it
would be good idea to put cushions on

Late last fall the cistern of the Furniture

A Terrible Tragedy.

A special telegram to the Baltimore Sun,
dated Winchester, July 9th, says:
A terrible tragedy occurred yesterday morn
ing at the residence of Franklin Little, very
highly respectable citizen of Clarke county,
Va, about seven miles from this place. In
which six brothers, Clinton. Columbus. Gilbert,
Wallace, Oscar and Lycurgus were involved.
1t seems that the brothers have been at vari.
auce for some time, the cause being Jealousy
that has existed directly between the Oldest
brothers. Clinton, Oscar and Lycurgus.
On Saturday morning as part of the family
were at breakfast. Oscar and Lycurgus entered
the dining room, locked the door after them, one
putting the key in his pocket Then one of
them took seat near the door; the other off
from the table. Oscar, addressing himself to
Cliron, said that they had nothing against
him and did not want him 10 interfere In what
they were about to do. Clinton jumped from
his seat: but before he could speak Oscar aud
Lycurgus drew their revolvers and aimed at
him and the rest OF the family at the table and
fired, wounding Clinton and their mother. Mrs.
Little. The fight then became general amongst
all the brothers, lasting some minutes. All
were severely wounded except Wallace. By
this time some of the belligeIents had gotten
outside the house.
Lycurgus and Oscar then started to run
OoA".aDuo uioM TeVoi'er anu ureQ at the
murderous brothers without effect, the distance
being too great. Gilbert, who was standing
near, ran into the house and brought out rifle,
tired at Oscar at long range, wounding him 10
the leg He was captured by Columbus and
Gilbert and held until the arrival of neighbors.
He was taken to BerryvilIe and lodged In iail.
Clinton died after lingering couple of hours
In intense agony. The mother is in critical
condltlln. post mortem examination of the
body OF Clinton was held by Drs. SomervilIe,
Miller and Wilson. Internal hemorrhape was
found to be the cause of death, the ball enter
ing above the right hip bone and lodging in the
left knee. A corner inquest was held, and a
verdict rendered that Clinton Little came to
his death by pistol-shot, fired premedtatedly
by his brother Lycurgus." The examination
will take place at Berryville Monday. The ex-
element is great in Clarke county against the
brothers Oscar and Lycurgus w. F. B.
