worth $40. He offers it for 81. would like
to buy it, but Pm afraid it wouldn't be Just
exactly honest. He must have stolen it, or
he wouldn't offer it SO cheap.
Mr.. Skinnphlint (excitedly) a $40
rug for sls Why, certainly he But no.
If he says he didn't steal it, and of course
he'll say SO, that will settle it as far as we
are concerned. We can't prove it, you know.
I'll question him myself. (Goes to door and
addresses peddler jocosely.) How much
did you say you wanted for this rug? One
dollar. hey? MN. It's worth perhaps half
that. I'm afraid-ha! ha!-I'm afraid you
stole this rug somewhere, my friend.
Peddier lterror-stricken;- Yes, sir, did!
But don't give me away, for heavens sakei

Mr.. Skinnphlint (somewhat taken aback,

A SAD ACCIDENT.

Waupaca Republican: The people of
this city were startled on Monday after
noon, when it was learned that Dee
Vernon, little six year old son of A
ID. Barnes, the nurseryman, was miss
ing. The sadness of the disappearance
was more than intensified as the
mother was sick, baby boy having
been born to her on Sunday. The
father slept with his son Vernon and
another little son of three years; and
was obliged to get up to take the early
train for Waupun on account of a large
fruit tree delivery to some Michigan
parties, but intended to return on the
night train. The little brothers were
sweetly sleeping and the father kissed
them and was soon hurrying on his
business mission, never dreaming that
any calamity would ever befall any of
his darling boys. But this world is a
mystery, it is full of strange incidents.
Life is sometimes like a dream; the
fates work mysteriously; some times IN
one way, sometimes in another. Here
is a family whose door death had never
entered, neither has it in any of the
doors of the father and mother or
brothers or sisters for thirty-three
years.
The little fellow ate his breakfast and
started out on his busy rounds as usual.
He was missed by members of family
when the school hours approached, and
word was sent to the school house and
inquiries made if he had been there:
he had not. Search was made at the
neighbors, in the woods and in the
pond. Night came; the mother was
nearly frantic. But neighbors and all
who heard of it lent a hand in the
seaich. Searching parties patrolled the
river with boats and lights clear to the
brick yard. When the night train came
IN, parties were at the depot to meet
Mr.. Barnes. He was asked if he cot
the telegram about the fact that Dee
Vernon was lost. He said he had not.
Mr.. Barnes said right away it flashed
across his mind that the little fellow
might be in the hole that was dug few
rods back of the barn, to drain the
marsh or swamp, and he asked if they
had looked there But no one had
thought of it. As soon as Mr.. Barnes
got home he went out with some of the
searching party, and examined the i'll
fated drain. Oh, he would have given
worlds, had he possessed them, if he
had only done what he had intended to
do; place fence guard around that
pool. There was the little boys hat, a
rake was brought and soon the lifeless
body was brought to the surface.

The Strawberry Season.

The strawberry season has arrived
and strawberry shortcake and straw
berries and cream are in order. We
have always believed that the large
consumption of the strawberry was a
capital illustration of the value of grow
ing fruit that will please the eve. This
fruit has not been improved in favor
by cultivation. The wild strawberry is
one of the most delicious fruits that
ever grew and perhaps the most deici-
Gus of all fruits. The cultivated berry
has none of this exceedingly fine flavor.
1t is said to be very deficient in nutri-
ment and the acid it contains is not
beneficial to many people. The red
raspberry we think is much better
fruit. Yet everybody eats strawberries
and even those who once cared little
for them, grow to like them. The fact
is they catch the eye, and any fruit
that catches the eye will win in the
market.

ALMOST MURDER.

| This community was shocked Satur-
| day last withsthe information that Mr..
Gus. Dahlke had made desperate
attempt to murder his whole family
which consists of wife, and three
children, two girls and boy. The facts
are about as follows:
Mr.. Dahlke is associated in the saloon
| business as partner in the firm of
| Dahlke q Damitz. He has been strong
| lY addicted to his cup for several years
| back and some people 90 so far as to
state that he has not drawn a sober
breath III the last five years. II this
statement is anywhere near the truth
it is not at all surprising when we state
that he has suffered from what is known
as "delirium tremens' until he has
become insane and therefore unreliable.
He has been a fit subject for the asylum
the past three months, but not until
this occurrence was it supposed that he
would do his family harm. During the
past few days he had shown signs of
bad blood by killing pet dove and the
family dog. He took his pocket knife
and cut the doves head off and took
delight i'll pummeling his dog to death
with club.
Friday afternoon last he acted pecul-
iarly and his wife being somewhat
alarmed asked her brother, Mr.. God
lieb Joecks, to stay all night at her
house which he did. Saturday morn
ing at six O'Clock MI. Joecks and Mr..
Dahlke arose and the former left the
house on an errand to the barn and Mr..
Dahlke was whiting shavings with a
| butcher knife with which to kindle the
| fire. Mr.. Joecks had no more than left
| the house when he heard the click of
| the door lock. He retuTned immedi-
ately and could not enter but looked
| through the bedroom window and saw
that he was numbering his wife. Cries
of murder anG help soon brought assist
ance. Mr.. S. Brazeau their nearest
neighbor and Mr.. Joecks forced an
entrance and shocking sight revealed
itself. The wife was in her night dress
and 1T was literally cut to pieces all
the way down the front and she was
besmeared with her own blood
from her head to her feet
with eleven cuts on her person, the
ones on her back and into her
abdomen being the most serious.
1t seems that he commenced his
deadly effort on his six year old son
and attempted to sever him in twain.
The boy luckily having heavy flannel
underclOthing on and his dull knife
prevented him from accomplishing it.
The boys cries soon brought his mother
to his relief when he left the boy and
turned on her with above results. The
boy had two cuts on his side and back
at the waist where the knife penetrated
the clothing.
After his arrest he stated that he was
gong to kill his family and then kill
himself That same morning he tore
up $40 in paper money and threw it out
doors. While in Jail he attempted
suicide by hanging himself with his
handkerchief. The authorities after
examination decided that he was hope
lessly insane and ordered him taken to
the Oshkosh Asylum which they did
on Sabbath morning. The wife and boy
at this writing are reported out of dan
ger and will recover. The wife who is
a strong woman, was completely pros
trated and CHASTITY sight after her
desperate fight for life.

Sufferers are not generally aware that

ever. has proved this to be fact and the
result is that simple remedy has been for
Iaulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
