County. Missouri. and Ends the sioody
Chapter by Committing suicide.


O'FALLoS, No.. April s7.-A terrible
tragedy occurred six miles north OF here
to-day. About seven o'clock this morn
ing Mrs. Eiceschultc. nee Schultz, was
shot and killed; also two Of her children,
aged SIX and eight years. were shot. One
of the chilren will probably recover. Her
husband, from whom she has been sepa.
rated for two years. Is suspected. Great
excitement prevails here. The murderer
II threatened with the administration Of
speedy justice should he be caught.
The latest particulars of the Klces-
chulte tragedy shows n most horrible
state Of facts. The murder and suicide
are the real facts, so far as are known,
and are as follows: Ernst Kleeschulte,

years ago was married to Mi-s Mary
Schultz, os st. Charles County, Mo. They
had two sons by their union, now aged
six and eight years. Two years ago they
separated, for some reason unknown.
Mrs. kleeschulte has lived for about three
months in small house on what IL
known as the Henry Beck farm, an iso.
lated place about one mile from the Mis-
sissippi river, with her two boys. One %.
her brothers lived near by. The murderer
had threatened about one year ago to take
his wife's life, and true to his most iniu-
man and fendish threat, carried il
into execution at seven O'Clock
this morning. He entered the house
by way OF the kitchen, where
he found his wife preparing the morning
meal, and without word OF warning
pulled an English bulldog revolver and
sent bullet crashing through her body

CHARLESTON Is having merry time
celebrating the reconstruction Of the
city after the earthquake. which seems
to have stirred up the city in more
ways than one. An Industrial issue of
Tie Ntws and Courier presents an
attractive picture Of the city, its trades,
manufactures and other enterprises.
Over 81, 600, 900 was extended In build
Ing enterprises the year after the earth
quake, of which nearly 81 900, GOO was
contributed by other cities for the
relief of property owners In distress.
Another million was expended in the
year Just closed. For a city of 10000
inhabitants this is large amount of
money to be used for rebuilding pur-
poses, and it Is easy to believe that the
city has been transformed. According
to The Ne,rs aud Courier, 1.-THE city
has regained a volume Of business
approaching in many respects to the
Uasted trade Of 1850. and this has
oeen accomplished by Charleston men
and Charleston money" The city
suffered greatly from the war, and
almost as much during the reconstruc-
ton period; then the earthquake gave
