Mysterious Murder.

Upon opening wheat car the 30th, to in
spect it, Inspector Pruden of Duluth, dis
covered the body Of man lying on the
wheat near the center of the car. The face
and hands of the man were besmeared with
blood, and investigation showed the man
had been struck with coupling pin and
killed. Blood was also found on the roof
of the car indicating that he was killed in
the car and was standing up at the time.
He was apparently about IS years
of age. Under his pants in the
pocket, of pair of overalls, was found a
leather roll in which were bills to the
amount Of s475. Near the body was found
a note dated Sanborn, OAK. October 26,
addressed to Mrs. Burke, signed 8. L. Platt,
who proved to be the Northern Pacific tele-
graph operator at that point. The car had
been on the road four days. When it
reached Brainerd the seal on one Of the
doors was found broken and it was re-
placed. Nothing further has been discov-
cred up to the present time to furnish any
clue to the mystery.

A Laughing Plsst:

This is not the flower that laughs,
but one that creates laughter, II tho
printed stories Of travellers are to be
believed. 1t grows in Arabia, and is
called the laughing plant because It's
seeds produce effects like those pro-
dnced by laughing gas. Tho flowers
are of q bright yellow, and the seed
pods are soft and woody, while tho
seeds resemble black beans, and only
two or three grow in a pod. The
natives dry and pulverize them, and
the powder, If taken in small doses,
makes the soberest person behave like
a circus clown or madman, for he
will dance, sing and laugh. and cut the
most fantastic capers, and be IN m
uproariously ridiculous condition for
about an hour. When tho excitement
ceases the exhausted exhibitor Of these
antics falls asleep, and when be
awakes he has not the slightest
remembrance Of his frisky doings.-

A Detroit Lawyer Has = Case Resembling
That of he Poet.
A document setting forth that Martin
H. and Rachael r. Coan had been
married forty. three years ago, and
praying the Wayne Circuit Court to
grant the wife separation from her
husband, was filled with the county
clerk couple of weeks ago, The bill
showed that both parties lived in Ply
mouth, and that their ages were sixty
five and sixty-three years respectively.
The natural surprise which the public
felt soon died away, and the case was
forgotten in q few days with others of
distantly similar nature. Last Thurs
day number of assignments ard quit
claim deeds, some bearing Rachael
Coan's signature, others that of Mar
tin, were filed with the Register of
Deeds. Martin had assigned property
to his wife, and she in turn had quit
claimed to him certain pieces of real
estate. Here was food for further sur
prise. The couple had been at logger
heads, recently, at least; suit between
them was pending in court and was set
for Thursday next. j. w. Donovan,
Mrs. Coan s counsel, was visited, the
apparently strange circumstances of
the case pointed out to him, and he re-
lated q short history of the case.
A few weeks ago tall woman with
dark gray hair and strong but much
wrinkled features, entered MIR. Dono-
vans Office and told him that she was
Rachael Coan. She had found it i'm
possible to remain in the same house
with her husband Martin, she said, be-
cause of his dissolute habits and cruel
treatment of her. She would be
comparatively content if she could get
enough to keep her from starVa-
ton, but her husband would give
her nothing, not even her wearing ap-
parel. She asked Mr.. Donovan to help
her obtain just share of the property.
The lawyer informed her that there
was no way in which she could do this
except by obtaining a divorce or legal
separation from her husband. 1t was
with much hesitation that she agreed to
ask separation. When the requisite
document was drawn up she was given
pen and told to sign. She looked
over the paper, her hand trembling,
and tears in her eyes. She wrote her
name, but with much effort, and began
sobbing violently.
Last Wednesday evening as Mr.. Dono
van was seated i'll bis library at home
man of medium height, whose hair,
once blonde, had almost changed to
white, stopped at his door. He said
he was Martin H. Coan, and wished
Mr.. Donovan to 60 down town and
kind of fix up matters. Mr.. Donovan
consented and went to his office. To
his surprise, on arriving there, he found
Mrs. Coan awaiting him there in COM
pany with a friend. Coan said he was
willing to assign his wife q third of tho
property with all her wearing apparel
and trinkets. There appeared to be
no reconciliation between the old folks,
yet Mrs. Coan expressed a wish that
too much should not be taken from her
husband. The assignments and quit
claim deeds were drawn up and signed.
Coan appeared uncomfortable and
manifested some emotion. His wife
broke down completely. They parted
without evena good-bye.-Detroit Post

Softening CAst-Iron.

An accident in foundry at Mel
bourne, Australia, has led to the dis
covery that the plunging of iron-cast-
ings into a mixture of molasses and
water softens the metal to such a de-
gree that it can be punched, bored, or
tapped as easily as wrought iron. 1t
is not stated if the iron must be hot or
cold when treated to its bath of sweet
ened water, but we presume the point
can be settled without much trouble by
any one anxious to avail himself of the
discovery, which looks as if it will prove
to be far from the least valuable of
those that have been made in iron
manufacture within a few years past.
