Now is the time Of year for pDeumo.
mia, lung fever, etc. Every family
should have bottle of Boshee' s German
Syrup. Don't allow for one moment
that cough to take hold of your child,
your family or yourself. Consumption,
asthma, pneumonia. Group, hemor-
rhages, aud other fatal diseases may
set in. Although it is true German
Syrup is curing thousands of these
dreaded diseases, yet it is much better
to have it at hand when three doses
will cure you. One bottle will last
your whole family winter and keep you
safe from danger. If you are con-
Tsumptive. do not rest until you have
cried this remedy. Sample bottles 10
tents. Regular size rs cents.

A TERikIBLE CAME.

A Desperate Father Kills His Wife
and SIX Children. sets Fire 10
HIS House and is burned TO
Death.
A Chicago Times special gives the
following account of the burning of a
house aud the family Of Moritz X aiser,
consisting of his wife aud six children.
III Monroe county, Illinois, last Friday
night.
DISCOVERY OF THE FIRE.
About O'Clock in the morning Kaiser's
house was discovered to be on fire, aud
an attempt was made by the neighbors
to rescue the family and save the burn.
ing building. The fire was extinguisbed.
but not until the building was nearly
consumed.
MOTHER AND BABIES.
When found, Mrs. KAISER lay with her
little boy. three years old, beside her.
aud two-months' old baby on her
breast. She had two deep wounds
penetrating the brain, either one of
which was sufficient to cause death.
The heads OF the little boy and baby
were crushed in and the brains ex.
posed. The positions of the bodies in
dicated that they had been killed and
the bodies arranged in the bed before
the flames had been started to destroy
the evidence of the terrible crime.
FATHER AND SONS.
In another portion of the house was
found Kaiser and his four sons. The
boys lay in row, their heads to the
rear wall of the room aud their feet to-
ward The center. They lay upon their
backs, and their limbs. although roast
ed, were stretched out and composed,
showing that the fire had come after
death. The body of the old man lay
between the boys and the bed Of his
wife and babies. 1t was twisted and
distorted. showing that living nerves
aud muscles had writhed before the
blaze. The skulls of the boys had all
been crushed. From inspection of the
wounds 1t seemed as if they had been
Inflicted with a mattock. Kaiser was
80 years old and is Switzar by birth.
The four boys were aged 10, 8, Z. and
years respectively.
THE MOTIVE OF THE CRIME.
The old man had fallen behind with
his rent, aud on the lst of March he
wis to give up his farm. This preyed
on his mind continually, aud had kept
him despopdent during the past week.
Thursday night he went to Fisk's
Landing, called for whisky and had
bottle filled. aud started for home about
800 A. NJ. 1t is probable that he killed
ms wife aud babies FIRST. called down
the boys aud killed them in turn; fred
