Household Hints.

The tiny red ants which are such a
nuisance in many pantries may be east
ly driven away if kerosine is freely
used. Those who have been troubled
by them know that they always come
in lines, coming through some crevice
in the wall or floor, and following one
after the other, IN regular order, until
they reach the shelf above. If kerosine
is turned the entire length of this line,
also on the place where they come in,
the floor, ETC., they will soon depart.
You may need to repeat this few
times, but it is an easy and effectual
method of getting rid of them. Leave
the door and windows open awhile and
the scent of the kerosine will soon be
gone.
If your fatirons trouble you by drop
ping black specks from the top or sides
when ironing, take them in a pan of
soap-suds and give them thorough
washing, and dry quickly, to prevent
rusting.
Paper bags, in which many articles
arc sent from the grocery stores, should
be saved for use when backing stove.
You can slip theohand into one of
these and handle the brush Just as we'll,
and the hand will not be soiled at all,
and when through with them they can
be dropped into the stove, being much
preferable to the cloth bag or mitter,
which requires frequent washing.
TO make lamp-chimneys look beauti-
fully clean, wash them in warm soap
suds, turn scalding water over them,
wipe dry with soft cloth, and rub with
piece of newspaper. This will give a
nicer polish than can be obtained in any
other way. Windows treated in the
same way will be found to look much
nicer than if simply washed and rinsed.
To ta4e ink stains out of table
cloths, napkins, ETC., put the article to
soak Immediately in thick sour milk,
changing the milk as often as neces-
sary.
A few drops of hartsho-1 put into a
little water will clean hair brush
nicely. If very dirty use little soap
also. After cleaning, rinse in clean
water, tie a string to the handle, and
hang up to dry.

DAKOTA,
Murder In Dakota.

A fatal shooting occurred at Big Stone
City, OAK, Sunday, the 18th. The party
doing the shooting was Henry l.. Barrett, a
lawyer Of Chicago, and the victim William
NJ. Morgan, of Ortonville, MINI. While
Morgan was a resident of Big Stone City
about two years ago, Barrett and his wife
boarded with him and his mother. Finally
Barrett returned to Chicago leaving his wife
at the Morgans, but she went away last
spring. The cause of the shooting is sup
posed to have been the result of suspicion
of an improper intimacy between Morgan
and Barrett's wife. Sunday, Barrett and
Morgan met at Big Stone City, and renewed
their acquaintance taking dinner together.
After dinner Morgan called on an acquain-
lance, remaining about an hour. During
this time Barrett called for Morgan twice.
Finally rs Morgan left his friends
office Barrett met him, and without e word
OF warning, shot at him three times a
revolver, two Of the balls taking effect, one
in the abdomen and the other in the region
OF the heart Morgan lived about "a hours
