Prof. Ereeman's Lecture.

The lecture Friday evening at Con-
cordia Opera house, by Prof. Freeman,
of Madison, under the auspices of the
Watertown High School Alumni, was
well attended The subject chosen,
" Across the Atlantic and Up the
Rhine" was one we'll calculated to
bring out the speakers fine descriptive
powers, and he carried his hearers
along with him in most entertaining
manner, picturing scenes ON the broad
Atlantic, in England, in Holland-that
wonderful country along the his
toric Rhine, the pride of the German
and the boast of Fatherland, for it's
memories and recollections, with vivid
ness, force and clearness. The Alumni
association is deserving of much credit
for being instrumental in giving our
citizens an opportunity of hearing
Prof. Freeman on two occasions and it
is to be hoped that the third will be
forthcoming soon.

a Distressingly Sad Accident.

One of the saddest accidents ever
within our province to narrate occurred
last Friday on the Broom farm in Mil
ford, Clara, the 3-year-old daughter and
only child of Mr. and Mrs Sam'l Broom
being shot by her cousin and instantly
killed. The children were left in the
house playing, Mr.. Broom being out at
his work and Mrs. Broom at neigh
boris, when the cousin, a boy about
years old, discovered shot gun, which
was supposed to be safely hid away,
and while in his hands it went off, the
charge tearing the little girls arm and
blowing off one side of her face The
boy ran crying to his uncle, and fancy
the feelings of the father, when on
reaching the house, the mangled and
dead form of his dear little one pros
trate on the floor, met his gaze; and
again carry, if you can, to your mind the
feelings of that mother when the terri
BILE news was broken to her of the loss of
her child under such peculiarly distress
ing circumstances. The little cousin was
the son of Mr.. Broom's sister and the
child was on a visit from his home in
Illinois. Surely if ever people were
entitled to sympathy in their bereave-
ment it is these parents. The little
girls funeral was held Sunday after
noon, the tender body being laid to
rest in Oak Hill cemetery. Rev. Fred.
S. Jewell, of St. Paul's church, conduct
ed the funeral services.

Louis kelIermann Commits Suicide.
Louis Kellermann, who shot his wife
last Wednesday morning at her par
ents' home in the First ward, ended
his own existence at half past 6 o'clock
the following morning in his mothers
barn on the Kellermann homestead in
the Fifth ward, by shooting himself in
the head, using the same weapon with
which he attempted the life of his wife.
kellermann's younger brother hearing
noise in the hayloft, entered the barn,
and as he did SO, shot was fired. In
a few minutes afterwards Deputy
Sheriff Graewe assembled the loft and
found Kellermann dead, with the
revolver in his clinched hand and his
entire body covered up in the hay,
red handkerchief being tied around his
forehead
It is not known where he secreted
himself during Wednesday. His mother
and brother claim to have seen nothing
of him, and it is now the general belief
that he did not go into the barn until
Wednesday night or short time before
the fatal shot was fired. A coroner's
jury was held by Justice Beckmann
and verdict rendered that his death
was caused by his own hand.
Thus Kellermann after attempting to
kill his wife, cut short his own career,
preferring death rather than suffer the
remorse. that was certain to follow his
terrible act. Some are disposed to
cover his deed with the cloak of charity,
holding unpleasant marital relations as
partly, at least, responsible for his
crimes. Be this as it may, the attempt
on his wife's life cannot be justified by
any reasoning of this kind, but it can
be said by those disposed to be charita-
BILE towards him that he atoned for the
act by taking his own life. Kellermann
was % years old, his wife being several
years his junior. He had no children.
For several years Kellermann worked
at well-drilling with E. A. Mendenhall.
Tt is said that he had made prepare
tons to remove to Milwaukee, hoping
to induce his wife to go with him. The
funeral was held Saturday afternoon
from the home of his mother, long
procession following the body to its
last resting place in Oak Hill cemetery.
There were no religious exercisesTat
the grave.

Another large audience greeted the
blind pianist at Ingalls, hall last night,
it being Blind Toms last night in Du-
luth. The finest thing of the evening
was an original march, the idea of which
Blind Tom conceived on hearing Thomas

An imitation of music box was rap
turously received by the appreciative
audience. Tom gave his usual spelling
bee, which always proves hit. s'Tom's
phonetic method" as the pianist termed
it. He spelt prognosticate, prog-nos-ty-
kate, and others that were given in like
manner. He accomplished the difficult
feat of playing the "Fishermans Horn
pipe" with the right hand, yankee
Doodle" with the left, and singing
TRAMP, the Boys are Marching" at the
same time.
