A Minnesota Woman of Wealth Outdoes
Jack the Ripper.

n Minnesota Woman of Wealth Outdoes
Jack the Ripper.
FARMINGToN (Minn.), September 2.-The
atrocities of Jack the Ripper" in the
Whitechapel district of London, were
eclipsed yesterday by Mrs. Samuel Holmes,
wife of one of the wealthiest and most
prominent farmers in Dakota county, and
mother of three grown-up children. Mrs.
Holmes has long been addicted to the ex-
cessive use of stimulants, and when under
the influence of liquor is a veritable fiend.
Repeated efforts to wean her from the per-
nicious habit proved fruitless, and as a last
resort, and hoping to frighten her into per-
manent sobriety, Mr.. Holmes announced
on Saturday that it was his intention to
transfer all bis property, consisting of bank
leaving his wife nothing except her dover
interest in the homestead, two miles south
of this city.
Mrs. Holmes, angered and mortified that
the family skeleton should thus be paraded
in public, came to town and purchased a
quantity of liquor. She returned home at
O'Clock Saturday evening, crazed by drink
and at once quarreled with her husband.
Her condition and abuse disguised him
and he retired to his room. She sat I'D all
night drinking the liquor she had pur-
chased in this city and plotting the crime
she committed at sunrise
At o'clock this morning the woman,
VINO by this time was on the verge of de-
hrium tremens, went to the woodshed,
seized an AK, and returning to the room
where her husband was sleeping soundly,
sent the keen edge of the weapon deep into
the sleeping mans head.
A second blow nearly severed his right
arm at the shoulder, and, although he was
dead at this time, Mrs. Holmes had not
finished her fendish work. She placed a
giant powder cartridge, such as is used in
blasting stumps, in the mouth of the dead
man and lighted the fuse. The cartridge
exploded, blowing Holmes head and
shoulders to atoms and shattering every
thing in the room. The noise of the ex-
plosion attracted Samuel Haines, neigh
boring farmer, who fastened into town
and lodged information against the muir
deress.
Holmes bloody and disfgured corpse is
now in charge OF the Coroner, and his wife,
in a half drunken stupor, is locked in the
County Jail to await developments at the
inquest, which will be held tomorrow.
The murder has created q widespread
sensation, its horrible character adding 10
the excitement.

The Grand Prerequisite of vlgor.

The dual operation of digestion and as

vigor. To insure the conversion OF food

fountain head of supply in the animal
economy is the stomach. To regulate, to.
invigorate that organ, and thus facilitate its
digestive and assimilative processes, should
be the chief aim of those troubled with q
deficit ofstamina. Nervousness, insomnia,

Local butchers no longer slaughtered. but
bought dressed beef IN Chicago. Cattle, TO
be sold, must be shipped to Chicago.
number of other witnesses, principally
commission men at the Union Stock Yards,
were examined tonight
Thomas Brown, dealer in export cattle,
said ears ago we haG plenty of buyers,
and If man couldn't get his figure here he
went on TO New York or Albany. Rail
roads stopped this by crashing out these
shippers, and wrecks of many of them are
TO be seen about the stoekyards to-day.
The dressed beef trade has killed the live
cattle Dealers
Brown said the dressed beef men were
not frightened by pleuro- o-pneamonia, be-
cause Europe wouldn't take live cattle.
The price went down and they were bene-
flied accordingly. Portions of beef that
could not be disposed of otherwise, he said,
were used in canning.

WASHINGTON, September 2d.-Secretary
Tracy has arranged for a trial on Wednes-
day of the defective armor designed by
Chief Engineer Clark of the navy. The
test will take place at the Annapolis
proving-grounds. Since 1888 this armor
has been the source of embarrassment to
the Navy Department. In that year Con-

penses of making and testing armor, but
this was not done. Finally the Bureau of
Ordnance constructed it. The armor con-

the gun this is four inches thick. 1t is
claimed that it will defect a shot that
would penetrate thirteen inches of iron.
The gun used will be one of the eight-inch
rifles, recently turned out in Washington.
1t will be planted 80 yards from the tur-
ret and loaded with charge of powder
sufficient to. drive the shots through thir-
teen inches. Seven shots will be fired
unless the target is broken before that point
is reached. The test will cost nearly $l9,-
OO0. This includes the cost of the turret.
