Alexander McRheelers, living seven miles
south of Terre Haute, Indiana, last week mur-
dered his wife, his wife's sister, and then COM
mitted suicide. The deed was committed at
the house of bis mother-in-law, Mrs. Blocksom,
at o'clock in the morning. On account of
bad treatment his wife had left him, and was
living at home. Mrs. Blocksom, sixty-nine
years old, mother of the victims, Alice McRheel-
ers and babe, Belle Blocksom, and hired girl
named Mollie Carpenter were in the room to-
gether. McRheelers went into the room,
walked over to cradle and looked at the child.
His wife chided him for his bad treatment of
her, which he acknowledged in a calm manner,
he being perfectly sober. He suddenly turned,
drew his revolver and fired at the old lady,
missing her. She ran out of the room, as did
the hired girl. The next shot was aimed at his
wife, and it struck her in the temple. She fell
a corpse over the cradle in which the child was
lying. The third shot was at Belle Blocksom
striking her in the temple, and causing instant
death. McRheelers then placed the pistol
against his temple and fred, killing him in
stantly. McRheelers was twenty-five years
old, his wife twenty-three, and her sister
twenty-nine. The Coroner's jury returned a
verdict of murder in two cases and suicide in
the other. Some years ago a sister of Mrs
McRheelers was murdered by her husband in
Illinois, and he is now in the penitentiary for
the crime. A short time ago McRheelers en-
deavored to kill his father. There is great ex-
element over the crime.

The Eagle and the Kite.

An eagle, overwhelmed with sorrow,
sat upon the branches of tree in COM
pany with kite. Why" asked the
kite, edo see you with such rueful
look?" The eagle answered, 81 seek
mate suitable for me, and am notable to
find one." "Take me-" responded the
kite. "I am much stronger than you.
L have often carried off an ostrich in my
talons." The eagle, persuaded by these
words, accepted the kite as mate. AZ
ter the election, SO to speak, was over,
the eagle told the kite to fly off and
bring back the ostrich it had promised.
The kite scared aloft and returned in
time with miserable little mouse in an
advanced state of decomposition from
the length of time it had lain on the
ground. els this" said the eagle,
"the faithful performance of your prom
ise to me?" The kite unblushingly re-
sponded: You must know that to ac-
complish any object there is no lie will
not TELL" The only moral to this fable
is that thepeople should not always send
to the Legislature the man who talks
loudest with his mouth Galveston

Beautiful Joke.

This, according to the San Francisco
Argondut, is an American joke translated
with French paper:
Topnody, fatigued to be led of the end
Of the nose by his bitter half, conceived
the resolution heroic TO take the COM
mand of the house, TO of it be the
boss. -
Therefore, in re-entering toward mid
day, still all emoved of quarrel of
morning, he called imperiously Madame
Topnody.
She emerged Of her kitchen, the visage
dipped sweat, of which pearly drop
at the end of her nose; q roller of pastry
at the hand. She responded in tone
few amiable.
"Eh, welll What is it that there is
yet?"
Topnody feebled; but he took the
courage.
"I wish that you know, Madame Top
nody"-and he struck himself ut the
breast ramatically-"that I am the en-
gineer Of this chebang."
"Oh, you are i'll Assuredlyl Eh, we'll,
me, / wish that you know"-and she
lanced at the unhappy look terrifying
THAT am the boiler which goes to
bust. Hear you the vapor which es-
capes itself, Topnody%
The unhappy heard perfectly.
He is again In the subjugation.
