When O death occurs In a Dutch family the
friends in the neighborhood by men called
aanspTekers, who are especially employed by
the undertakers, and go from door to door
bearing the melancholy tidings. The cos
tune of these functionaries is very peculiar.
1t consists Of a black t~ail-coat, black knee
breaches, silk stockings, and shoes with sill
yer buckles. A white tie is worn round the
throat, and upon the head an enormous
cooked hat, with a huge rosette at the side,
while two pieces of ribbon, each about a yard
and a half in length, hang down the back.
II the death is that Of child, the rosette is of
white satin. Strangers, 10 doubt, often mis-
take these individuals for high dignitaries of
the Dutch Church. They pursue their calling
either singly, two, three and even four to-

to the position formerly held by the deceased;

In the province Of Drenthe, on the occa-

given, and strong beer brewed for the use Of
the mourners and others. Beggars and vag-
abonds collected from all parts of the coun-

freely with the good cheer provided for the oc-

AN EVENTFUL DAY.
Such a One as Western and Northern
Michigan Has Rarely
Gaan

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April 28.-Yester-
day was really an e~ventful day throughout
the timber districts of western and northern
Michigan. At Ashton, a fire broke out be
fore noon, in what is termed a "slashing, "
andin a few moments it encircled the vii
la&e. The populace turned out and sue
ceeded in combining it to the outskirts. At
Careys, the large Cuppleyea wooden ware
mill was several times on fire. Between
Careys and Luther the forest fires were so
intense that large gangs of men patrolled
the railroad track with locomotives. At Ca
dillae $50, 900 feet of pine lumber, owned by
NJ. j. Bond, was destroyed. Several of the
largest mills 2nd the railroad round house
narrowly escaped. Two dwellings were de-
stroyed at George E. Woods lumber camp.
Five miles northeast of Cadillac barns were
destroyed with u large amount of feed, hay,
etc. Two horses were burned. At Hudson
vile the Chicago and West Michigan depot
and contents were destroyed. At Hartford
Hinckley 81 Bros stave factory and stock,
loss not reported. The weather grew rapidly
colder last night, rain and snow fell into the
territory between Grand Rapids and the
straits, relieving fears and doing great good,
but a good soaking rain is badly needed. At
Cadillac this afternooE a fire broke out near
the scene of yesterdays fire, destroying G.
B. Westover's brewery and ice houses.

They VIII Get Justice.

Dies MONIES, Ia, April 2S.-The murder
ers of the old man Jefferson have been cap
tured, and are John A. Smythe and Joel j.
Wilson, his son in-law, and Cicero Jefferson,
his son. This morning they were brought up
for examination, and Wilson and Smythe
waived the same and were remanded until
Wednesday, but Cicero became conscience
stricken, and asked to make a statement
under oath. He then proceeded to make a
full confession regarding the murder,
and how he and the other two
men left home on horseback, went to his
fathers house, took the old man from his
bed, tore off his shirt, put a rope around his
neck, dragged him to a tree andthere hanged
him, Wilson lifting up the body while the
others pulled on the rope, and then wrapped
the end around the body, mounted their
horses and left. The people are thoroughly
aroused, and justice will be melted out, and
no technicalities Of the law will go down
with the citizens, though everything is quiet
there tonight.
