A Dakota FienL Murders IA - and
Blows on Tia" Top Of His ';css
DICKINSON. Oak. Feb. 27.-One Of the
most sensational tragedies ever enacted
in this section oi Dakota took place about
o'clock Tuesday in which two persons
lost their lives. John Ho.ler. German,
lived with family, a wife and five
children, on cain two miles from here.
He and his wife had been having some
trouble and he threatened their lives.
His vile left him and went to a neigh
boris for safety. and in short time her
husband followed her. taking with him
Winchester rifle. After first driving
the people from the house where she had
taken refuge, by threats of numbering
them all, he entered the house and
dragged his de:enseless wife from her
hiding place aud deliberately murdered
her by firing two shots. one of which
took effect in the left breast and the
other in the abdomen. He then went
-outside and placed the muz.le of the gun
against the his left temple and fired,
blowing off the whole top Of his
head. 1t is said that he killed a
farmers wife some years ago in the
East, and he WAS accused of burn
ing house near here three yeare ago
to obtain the insurance, thus showing
that he was bad man. His intention
was to cremate his five small children,
but fortunately they escaped the horrible
death

The Alleged Eari>her q: Maud Compton
Par,ioned by Governor Merriam.
ST. PAUL. Feb. ~. --Hal Ried. the al
legged ravisher of Maud Compton, has
been granted free pardon by Governor
Merriam. The papers in the case were
originally filed with Governor McGill,
who left them a. legacy for lis sue
cessor. Governor Merriam has given
considerable thought to the case, and in
the legal points has had the matured
opinion of Attorney General Clapp. Two
eminently reputable citizens of the state
made afiidavits placing an entirely new
feature in this notorious case, and ad-
ducei eyiden, e which did not come out
at the tria', which greatly favored the
position taken by Reid in this matter.
These aflidavits were amply substanti-
ated by others. and in the interests of
justice, Governor Merriam says he could
see no other way than grant the accused
an unconditional pardon.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

An expeditions way to lower the tenn
perature of small vessel OF water is to
drop into it few crushed crystals of
nitrate of ammonia. The crystals will re-
duce the heat about so degrees.
There were !, ,25s accidental deaths in the
city of New York during the year ending
July @ OF this number only five were
caused by electric light wires, while four
teen were occasioned by Illuminating gas.
From experiments made in Richmond,
Va, with electric heaters it seems probable
that passenger coach can be kept warm
at an expense of ? cents an hour, the eur
rent being supplied by dynamo on the
locomotive or tender.
Inventor Edison is az work on a ''far-
sight machine which he hopes to have
perfected in time for the worlds fair in
1892. BY its aid the inventor says it will
be possible for a man in New York TO see

French steel-makers are manufacturing
steel containing variable portion of cop
per, to per cent. which is capable Of far
greater resisting power and is more elastic
and malleable than simple steel. This alloy
is to be used in making artillery of large
caliber, armor plates. rifle barrels, and
projectiles. 1t will also probably be valu-
able for making glrders for building pur-
poses and ship plates.

THEFAMILY WASHIN G..

This seems to be the bugbear of all
housekeeping, and in fact there is nothing
that seems to upset the whole household
machinery as wash day. 1t always SEEM
ed to me that Monday, of all days, was the
worst possible day to select for this.
Many ladies have stepped out and down
from the old custom; some have selected
Saturday and others Tuesday.
The advantage Of Saturday is that it is
next after sweeping day, when the bed
linen is changed, and then, too, it is day
that SO many housekeepers take to scrub
their kitchen; if the washing is done the
same day one scrubbing day is entirely
done away with. Then, too, Sunday fol-
lowing it gives one day of rest between the
washing and ironing. If the washing is
done on Monday, no matter how much is
provided on SATURDAY. in the way of baking
and cooking, it is gone by Monday, and
finds you on that day with only 'spickups"
for dinner.
The advantage of Tuesday is that you
have all day Monday to prepare for your
washing. To repair any serious rents
which are much better done before the
starch is in; and patching, which, after it
is ironed, is scarcely noticeable.
In many families too much preparation
for Monday is done upon the Sabbath even
ing, time never like anything to enroach
upon.

HE KNEW. But WOULD NOT TELL.

A literal truth may be virtual lie, and
though there exists great cleyerness in the
telling, it is of that sort of speech which
we should scarcely care to initiate, though
we may smile at it.
A party of boys were snowballing one
day in front of the old College just as the
Professor was approaching the door.
Whizzi and one icy ball, striking his shiny
beaver, carried it neatly away from his
head.
1twas an accident, but the Professor was
not man to make allowance. and as he
turned and glared at them the boys trem-
bled. One of them. however, had the self
possession to pick up and straighten the
ill-used sttile," and its owner, without q
word, marched indoors and rang his bell.
The boys went in like mice. When they
were seated, 'sYoung gentlemen, SAID the
Professor, s'who threw that ball9'
No one stirred, and not glance was ex-
changed. The question was repeated, and
still the room was silent.
III pun Oiic IuoIt QueStlUD, sdlQ bDS
Professor severely. e.Does any one know
who threw it?''
The guilty boy raised his hand; but as he
was model of excellence it did not occur
to the teacher that he could be the offen-
der.
'sYour hand was raised, Reade, he said; /;
''then you know who did it9'
s'Yes, sir"
II should not, under ordinary cireum-
stances, ask one boy TO tell the misde-
meanor of another; but it is evident that q
coward is present, and needs exposure.
Reade, who threw that ball2H
Il would rather not tell, sir said Reade
with mischeyons twinkle in his eyes.
Noble boy, I honor youn' said his
teacher with enthusiasm. 'sIf there is pre-
sent one boy too cowardly to confess, If is
evident that there is another who is too
honorable to betray a schoolmate. For
Readeis sake the culprit shall be forgiven
Young gentlemen, proceed with your
work
1t is only fair TO add that Reade's con-
science afterward pricized him in view OF
such undeseryed praise, and shat he did
manfully confess.

Secretary Rusk, of the Department of
Agriculture, says that the manufacture OF
binding twine for agricultural uses is an
important and growing industry, and that
he will investigate the subject of substi-
tuting hemp for the fibrous materials now
in use. and as the area OF climatic condi-
tions for growing hemp is larger in this
country than for other fibrous plants, if it
can be successfully and economically sub
stituted in the making of binding twine,
then so mach of the estimated twenty mil
lions now paid for foreign growth viii be
saved and can be applied in the promotion
of home industry.
